As we look into the crystal ball, 3 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: what are the most likely outcome?

There are conflicting reports on his situation. Also, 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: how much stalk do you put on the endorsement from 7 00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: Jaden and Daniels and his endorsement of Deebo Samuel with 8 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: the Commanders. We'll talk about that. And in baseball, Dodgers 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: left hander Clayton Kershaw reaching three thousand strikeouts at the 10 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 1: Ravine in La with many convinced that he will be 11 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: the last pitcher to reach that number of three thousand strikeouts? 12 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: Is this an overreaction or a smart take? We'll talk 13 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: about all of those stories and more right now here. 14 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: It is also Mallard of the third.

So we are heading into the big holiday 34 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: weekend July fourth, tomorrow. Tomorrow doesn't seem like it's football, 35 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: but we are closing in on the beginning of training 36 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: camp and that is our lead. Our lead is from 37 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: this hour from the NFL rookies will start showing up 38 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: the camp in less than two weeks. Less than two 39 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: weeks away from training camp opening up for rookies in 40 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: the NFL. Now one of the teams that is expected 41 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: to blow this year the Giants. The Giants have been 42 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: good in a long time, and the rookies will report 43 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 1: in like twelve days and then a few days after 44 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: that the veterans are going to show up. Now, there's 45 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: been a lot of noise about who's going to play 46 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: quarterback QB one for the team that calls themselves the 47 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: New York Giants, even though they play in New Jersey. 48 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: So if you have not been following, perhaps not. The 49 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: Giants general manager Joe Shane said somewhat recently that Russell 50 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: Wilson brings to the Giants something they haven't had since 51 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Elijah Manning, so that he was really buttering the biscuits 52 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson, who came over from Pittsburgh. And then 53 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: you add state sponsored NFL media say that it is 54 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: not a matter of if, not a matter of if 55 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: that rookie quarterback Jackson Dart will replace Russell Wilson. It's 56 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: simply a matter of when is it week five? Is 57 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: it week six? Is it week seven? Week get when 58 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: is it gonna happen? So let us discuss the question 59 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: looking into the crystal ball, what's the most likely outcome? 60 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: Most likely outcome for Russell Wilson with the twenty twenty 61 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: five New York Football Giants. So I've got Expedia, Summer 62 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: TV Classic and country Gospel, and we will combine all 63 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make 64 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: a delicious HOGI a delicious hogy. So number W, I said, 65 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: number yeah, Yeah. It's just some malor math. As you 66 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: know on my distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of 67 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: nostra Denas. He lives in Seattle, where Russell Wilson toiled 68 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Seahawks back in the day. So Russ, 69 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: if my math is correct, is now in the last 70 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: five years. Russ is playing for his fourth team in 71 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: the last five years. So that's the math on that 72 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: he's thirty six. The Giants are trotting him out there, 73 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: and if you believe the quote from the general manager there, 74 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: Joe Shane, they want you to think they are. I 75 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: also purchased this offseason on Amazon a hot tub time machine, 76 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: and they are gonna set the year to what twenty 77 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: fourteen and the Legion of Boom and in this case, 78 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: it's just Boom goes to quarterback. Good luck on that. 79 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: So the most likely outcome looking into the crystal mall 80 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: all right, Russell Wilson will be grabbing his smartphone. He 81 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: will be going on Expedia and he will be booking 82 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: a room at a bed and breakfast called the Heartbreak Hotel. 83 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: That is where he's gonna go. Russell Wilson, Now, no 84 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: one's talking about Jameis Winston, and I want Jameis Winston 85 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: to play. I support Jameis Winston. I'll tell you why 86 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: he's bad. But he's fun bad, and if you're gonna 87 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: be bad, be fun bad. So Jameis Winston still hanging 88 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: around there, and then you've got the rookie Jackson Dart 89 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: waiting to take the job. So, Russell Wilson, you don't 90 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: have to be some kind of high fu loot In 91 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: Adams Chefter Jay Glazer type to know that this is 92 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: a placeholder situation, plain and simple. That's it. Russ got 93 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: back up money from the Giants because they don't believe 94 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: in him, nor should they. He got the kind of 95 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: a contract where just keep the seat warm. We don't 96 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: have seat heaters, so just keep the seat warm there, Russ, 97 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: and then you know, you move over to the side 98 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: and we'll just we'll be the coaching staff of the Jets. 99 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: We'll just pray that Jackson Dart doesn't look like a 100 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: deer in the headlights by the time we get into 101 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: week three or week four. But at least mister mister 102 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: unlimited is squeezing all of the clout he can get 103 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: out of being the Giants quarterback because he's not very good, 104 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: hadn't been good in years. Russell Wilson. If you read 105 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: the tabloids, though, in the Big Apple, the Naked City 106 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: never sleeps, and in the last four months, Russ has 107 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: been a regular on the icon on a page six 108 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: the tabloid of the New York Post. He has been 109 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: court sided at multiple New York Knickerbocker games during their 110 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: playoff run. He was most recently seen at the met Gala. 111 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: He was at that Bugase Fanatics Fest thing he showed 112 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: up to that. He's been at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. 113 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: I can go on and on. He's hit in every 114 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: socialide event. I'm sure he'll be somewhere this weekend the 115 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: fourth of July. There'll be some high falutin party on 116 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: the Hamptons and Russell b that he's soaking it all in, 117 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: and I give him credit. You got to hit the 118 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: red carpet because Russ knows once he starts playing turnout 119 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: the last the parties over. Yeah, so he's they don't 120 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: invite you to the red carpet. When you're holding a 121 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: clipboard and wearing a visor and you're the backup, they 122 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: don't invite you. So you got to take advantage of it. 123 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: Even though he's like the faux starting quarterback for the Giants, 124 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of it. Now a guy in 125 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: that division that is not a faux starting quarterback. We 126 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 1: turned the page to the Beltway and Washington, d C. 127 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: The District of Columbia and so far, despite Internet reports, 128 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: quarterback Jaden Daniels says he is on team Deebo. He 129 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: is on team Debo. He's impressed with Deebo Samuel, late 130 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers. Now that goes counter the 131 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: scandalous internet reports, including photos, the accusations that the new 132 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel needs to go to a farm, 133 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: a fat farm. So how much stock do you put 134 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: on Jaden Daniels giving an endorsement, a ringing endorsement of 135 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel with the commanders. All right, so on this one, 136 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Jadon Daniels has turned into a crooner. He's singing Deebo 137 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: Samuel's praises and all that stuff. You know, stand by 138 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 1: your man. You're supposed to do that, and it's one 139 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: of those things. If you have a problem, you do 140 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: it privately. You don't do it publicly. You do it privately. 141 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: That's the way you're supposed to do it. But I'm 142 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: a talk showst I like when you do it in 143 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: the public square. It's I need content. I have a 144 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: nightly show. I got four hours of talk radio real 145 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: estate I gotta fill. So he's doing the stand by 146 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: your man thing, Jayden Daniels and all that stuff. Do 147 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: you think Jayden Daniels though, would come out and say, 148 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: oh my god, Deebo Samuel, he is one more sub 149 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: sandwich from exploding, right, I mean, and listen, Jadan Daniels. 150 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: He probably doesn't care whether Deebo Samuel's rocking a couple 151 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: of extra Chick fil A sandwiches or whatever it's it 152 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: is setting up though, Like the thing that interests me 153 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: about this story is its setting up to be a 154 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: summer TV classic for the Washington Commanders. It's a it's 155 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,359 Speaker 1: a show that's been on and off in six generations, 156 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: six decades. To tell the truth, will the real Deebo 157 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: Samuel please stand up? And you'll have three people all 158 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: dressed like Deebo Samuel. Will the real Deebo Samuel stand up? 159 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: Because now, Deebo, He's never gonna in a mister Universe contest, 160 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: nor will I by the by that by that token. 161 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: But based on some social media clips that I've seen, 162 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: and you've sent me some of your knuckleheads love to 163 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: send me, do you see this? Oh my god, he's 164 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: got a belly. He's got a beer belly. Yeah, So 165 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: people are acting. People are acting like Deebo Samuel waddled 166 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: in to the Commander's facility like a penguin, and he 167 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: was wearing cargo shorts and compression socks and he's like 168 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: somebody's uncle after a Fourth of July cookout this weekend. 169 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: Now the mystery will be solved to tell the truth 170 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: when training camp opens up in a couple of weeks, 171 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: and will Deebo Samuel show up? Will he be wearing 172 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: a football helmet, football pads, and pants or will he 173 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: be wearing a moo moo. We will find out when 174 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: the Washington football team opens up camp. Now, final point, 175 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna pivot away from that to baseball. Big story 176 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: in baseball not the infestation of double headed because of 177 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: the bad weather that hit the Atlantic seaboard this week. 178 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 1: But instead everyone's been yapping about Dodger starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw, 179 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: the old left handed Clayton Kershaw. On a random Wednesday 180 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: night against one of the worst teams in baseball, the 181 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: Chicago White Sox, Clayton Kershaw reached three thousand strikeouts and 182 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: many pungents of baseball are convinced that he is the 183 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: last one, the last one to reach three thousand strikeouts. 184 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: So is that an overreaction or is that a smart take? 185 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: Overreaction or a smart take that Clayton Kershaw is the 186 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 1: last pitcher to reach three thousand strikeouts? So this is 187 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: with a capital H, hyperbole is what this is. Now. 188 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: I know that we're being fed this propaganda that three 189 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 1: thousand strikeouts, this is it by a starter and Kershaw's 190 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: a relic from a different era. Phoee. I say for 191 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw's milestone, what it should be is a bridge, 192 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:14,119 Speaker 1: a bridge over troubled waters, a hardball revival, and someone's 193 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: gonna have the goal to actually do this, and it's 194 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: gonna be a crappy team, a team that has no 195 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: real fan base that's willing to do it, to think 196 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: outside the boxes. Everyone's thinking the same way in baseball, 197 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: copycat situation and all that stuff. With Kershaw, what you 198 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: should be doing is crank up the Hank Williams country 199 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: gospel tune. I saw the light. I saw the light. Baseball, 200 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: like everything, it's cyclical, everything's cyclical. It can once again. 201 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: I am am I a knucklehead for believing that baseball 202 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: can once again rediscover big time starting pitching. And they 203 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: always take the easy road out. They say, well, it's 204 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: not an orfold. These guys didn't throw a lot in 205 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: high school, they didn't throw a lot in college. But 206 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: a lot of the pitchers are drafted out of high school. 207 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, I believe, came out of high school from 208 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: the Dallas area. And you can take a picture who's 209 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: eighteen years old out of high school and the guys 210 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: they're signing in the Dominican and other places are younger 211 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: than that, and you can mold them into starting pitchers. 212 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: You have enough time to do that, so you can. 213 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: You can rally around, and I'll give you the little 214 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: dirty secret about the sport of baseball. Baseball is better 215 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: when you have dominate starting pitching. Does anyone disagree with that? 216 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 1: Does anyone want to raise their hand? No one's going 217 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: to raise their hand and disagree. So I would like 218 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: you to join my grassroots movement. It's an upstart, renegade outfit, 219 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: and let's make starting pitching great again. The nerds killed it. 220 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: We can bring it back from the dead. We can 221 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: resuscitate it. The starting pitcher is the one person in 222 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: baseball who can control the narrative, the one person with 223 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: the ball who can set the tone and where you're like, 224 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 1: I guaranteed to win this there very rarely will we 225 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: not win when this guy's pitching. You cannot replicate that 226 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: with your bullpen day And let the aces walk the 227 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: tight rope when they go third time through the lineup. 228 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: You don't need to have a coronary when you get 229 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: to the eighth inning. Let him pitch, let him pitch 230 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: out of trouble, let them get dirty, let them give 231 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: up some runs and blow some games. Because baseball does 232 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: not need any more of these matchups where you bring 233 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,280 Speaker 1: out the three ring binder and you're playing nerd ball. 234 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: You need dramatic moments and a dominant starting pitcher, and 235 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: there's hardly any of them left in the game. But 236 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: a dominant starting pitcher on the mound. It's like going 237 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: to see a heavyweight boxing match back in the old days. Right, 238 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: everyone's anticipating what's gonna happen. Right, you own the night, 239 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: that is the moment. It's the moment of truth. Who's 240 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: gonna pitch better that night, who's gonna do better? 241 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: All that? 242 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 1: And like the idea that well this is the last one, 243 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, it shouldn't be right. And it's gonna take 244 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: a team that has no fans, like the Athletics who 245 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: don't even have a city. They're so embarrassed about being 246 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: in Sacramento, or the Tampa Bay Rays is another minor 247 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: league outfit, and just just go for it. Just develop 248 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: pitchers to be dominant starting pitching, and you have such 249 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: an advantage over everyone else, and then that team has 250 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 1: to succeed, and then when they succeed, everyone's gonna copy them. 251 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: Period stop.

We'll get to that coming up in 297 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: a minute. We ranted and raved about the Footbaul world. Well, 298 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, mister unlimited, and he's on thin ice already 299 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: with the Giants. And then the curious case of Deebo 300 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: Samuel with the Washington Commanders. Is he the size of 301 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: the blimp or is he not the size of the limb? 302 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: Inquiring minds would like to know. Shane in the Morning 303 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: Rite Sin says, it is said that you do not 304 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: do birthday shout outs. Shane says, as my son turned 305 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 1: sixteen today. Well a Shane, we don't do birthday shoutouts. 306 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: We're not a Morning Zoos show. We don't get paid 307 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: like a Morning ju show. B I doubt that your 308 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: son would want me to do a shout out to 309 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: him anyway. He sixteen year old kid does not want 310 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: some overnight gas bag to wish him a happy birthday, 311 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: does not want that at all. What else do we 312 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: have see page nan Bill says something about deal a meal. 313 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: That's what he says. Nature Boy, very active on social media, 314 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: says the nerds are leading us to believe pitchers should 315 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: never go more than one hundred pitches. I beg to differ, 316 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: says the nature Boy, and then he has some examples 317 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 1: of a game years ago, back in the nineteen sixties, 318 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: when both pitchers went over two hundred pitches. And yeah, 319 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:35,479 Speaker 1: the one hundred pitch thing is a fascinating quirk that 320 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: they just arbitrarily decided one hundred pitches because it's a 321 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: round number. It's a big number, one hundred pitches. That 322 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: anything after one hundred pitches and you're going to fall apart. 323 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: But there are examples. I remember hearing stories about Fernando 324 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: Valezuela when he was pitching in the Dominican League early 325 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: in his Dodger career, had come from Mexico, but he 326 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: was pitching in some offseason and games and he just 327 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,400 Speaker 1: keep pitching and pitching.

Do you think he's turned it 400 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 2: down for a reason. 401 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: Yes, of course, Well there's two reasons. He can make 402 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: more money if he waits a year, he can make 403 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: like another one hundred and twenty million or more than that. 404 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: And if he wants to be the man, he's got 405 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: to leave the Lakers. You can't be the man with 406 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: the Lakers. It's gonna be Luca. So if he wants 407 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: to have his own team, then he can't. 408 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: Hear, Hey, I'm gonna shoot the gears. I got you now, No, 409 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: I just think that I haint just Kim Joe. But 410 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 2: he can't ockstun here. Like a few days ago, they 411 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: have a camp for boys over there at the high school. Yeah, 412 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 2: he's got his name all over breathe it's a basketball 413 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: camp or he's these boys in high school. 414 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: And I was asking that question, you know, but I mean, 415 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, all right, well, he's not gonna he's not 416 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: gonna give you a straight answer. You know that he's 417 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: not gonna give it. If he gives you a straight answer, 418 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: he goes viral and then all of a sudden, he's 419 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with that. So I mean, you 420 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: can ask him next time he's in town or whatever, 421 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: but he's not gonna give you a straight answer. 422 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 2: I would take some guaranteed money and then it's something happened. 423 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: Then you got your guaranteed money. 424 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's already's already enough money. He's made enough 425 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: already where he's set. So now you're going like generational wealth. 426 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: Now he's making millions of dollars right now. All right, 427 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: I gotta leave it there. Thank you. About there. You 428 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,360 Speaker 1: go out of retirement and he'll go back to retirement. 429 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: Now right, are you going back to retirements or scratch up? 430 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: I think you are going back to retirement. You made 431 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: that phone call. Now you've got to step aside and 432 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: go to retirement. So we mentioned Clayton Kershaw three thousand strikeouts, 433 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: So baseball people all fired up, they're all excited about this. 434 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 1: So the prisoner of the Moment take of the day 435 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 1: goes to someone that that I've dealt with a few times. 436 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: He does some radio stuff. He's a columnist. Bill Plashke, 437 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: who's a commis for The Other Times, used to be 438 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 1: on that Around the Horn show before he got canceled. 439 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: So Plashki is claiming yet again that Clayton Kershaw is 440 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 1: the greatest pitcher in Dodger history, which has got to 441 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: be one of the lamest takes of all time. Now 442 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: we're gonna sit here and break down the Dodger all 443 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,719 Speaker 1: time pitching. But it ain't Clayton Kershaw, and it can 444 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: never beat Clayton Kerr because of the albatross that is 445 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: the postseason. You cannot properly adjudicate Clayton Kershaw without mentioning 446 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: that he is consistently ridden in the front seat of 447 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: the vomit comet in the postseason. You can't get around it. 448 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do to clean it up. His 449 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: earn run average is four and a half in the postseason. 450 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: And you think of some of the other greats in 451 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: Dodger history. Sandy Kofax had an ERA of under one 452 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: when he pitched back for the Dodgers back in the day, 453 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: help Fernando Vealnezuela, who had a very brief run of 454 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: dominance for the Dodgers. His postseason earned run average was 455 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,719 Speaker 1: I believe under two. If I'm not mistaken with the Dodgers, 456 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: so Kershaw for all the success on a random Tuesday 457 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: night against the Rockies or a Wednesday night against the 458 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: White Sox, it's the big moments when he needs to 459 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,159 Speaker 1: change his diaper and there's no other way around that 460 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: that is just the way it has been and continues 461 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: to be so anyway, it is the bed Mal Show. 462 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: If you want to be part on x at Ben 463 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: Math the phones or hot let's get back to the calls. 464 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: Will say hello to Tony in the Bay Area, Hello, Tony, welcome, 465 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: Hey man. 466 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,640 Speaker 2: What does David Besse call the two ball count? 467 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't know, kin music, Thanks buddy, No, Tony, it's 468 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: a drive by phone call right there.

I have no patience for that guy none. 486 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: So the Max Monsey story I think is interesting. He 487 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: got injured and we have an update and this is 488 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: bad news. I believe this is bad news for the Dodgers. 489 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: And here's why. So Max Munsey was injured at third base. 490 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: He is a play bang bang play, one of the 491 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: white sized guys trying to steal third base and Will 492 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: Smith threw the ball down and there was a collision 493 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: and Max Monsey's knee bent the wrong way. And so 494 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: the latest from Dodgerland. They say that Max Munsey is 495 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: getting an MRI, which will be later today here on 496 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: the third of July. And here's the part that should 497 00:27:55,359 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: scare all the Dodger of ficionados. It'said Dave Robert said 498 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: the initial tests have them feeling quote optimistic, and that 499 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 1: they hope is it's only a sustained or a serious sprain, 500 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: but not not any ligament damage supposedly. So I'm gonna 501 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: go things that are likely not. Youre like Max Munsey, 502 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 1: Is there any way he does not end up on 503 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: what used to be called the disabled list for the Dodge, 504 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: Like that's a gary, We'll start with that. So he'll 505 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: be out. He'll he'll be on the disabled list, the 506 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: injury list whatever they call it now, whatever they change 507 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,120 Speaker 1: it to, which is politically correct. So he'll be out 508 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 1: for at least a brief period of time. But I 509 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: gotta think he's out for a month or two. The 510 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: top scenario is months. He's out all of July and 511 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: comes back sometime in August. The injury was so bad 512 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: they I'm told they I didn't see. I was watching 513 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: the White Sox broadcast because some of the Dodger broadcasters 514 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: annoy me. But I believe they didn't show it on 515 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: the Dodger broadcast like they did not the injury. They 516 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: would not rebroadcast the injury. They said, was that that 517 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,520 Speaker 1: bad an injury like I saw, it looked bad, and 518 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: it looked like the kind of injury is going to 519 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,280 Speaker 1: keep you out for a good period of time. In 520 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: the fact that he was hopping off the field he 521 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: could barely put any weight on it also generally not 522 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: a great sign. Not a great sign. And Max Munsey 523 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: was in a neck and neck race with Manny Machato 524 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: to be the starting third baseman for the National League 525 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 1: All Stars, and he came up a wee bit short, 526 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: just a wee bit short. Did not did not quite 527 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: work out there, as they have named the All Stars 528 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: starting lineups the All Star gam more only what do 529 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 1: we like? Less than two weeks away from that, and 530 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: we're closing in on that. And the Dodgers win, by 531 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: the way, they won in a rally against the White 532 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: Sox on that random game. And Freddie Freeman, who was 533 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: named to the All Star team in the National League, 534 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: he had his seventeenth career walk off hit that includes 535 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: the playoffs, third most in the wild Card Era. I 536 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: guess that's now the modern ear of the wild Card era, 537 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: which goes back to the mid nineties when they started 538 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: the wild card games. Was that ninety seven, ninety five nine, six, 539 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: ninety seven somewhere around there they started the Wildcags. I 540 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: think it was ninety seven. Anyway, it doesn't matter. It's 541 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 1: been a while. And the player in the Wildcard Era 542 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: that has the most walkoff hits all time, you know 543 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: it is, that's right, Big Poppy. David Ortiz has the 544 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: most walk off hits since that arbitrary date in the 545 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 1: mid nineties. So there you go, Eileen writes in she 546 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: sent a photo of what she claims is Russell Wilson 547 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: at the met Gala. I think that might be Diddy 548 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: at the met Gala, Eileen. I think you confuse that 549 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: with Diddy there. But that's quite quite the outfit there. 550 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: That is an impressive outfit. If I ever end up 551 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: at the met Gala, just throw me off the bridge. 552 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: Just toss me off the bridge and say get out 553 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: of here.

I'm learning. Here we go, let's jump 663 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 4: in here though number one. On a recent podcast interview, 664 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 4: Chiefs tight End Travis Kelcey recalled some troubles he had 665 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 4: behind the scenes back when he hosted Saturday Night Live 666 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,279 Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty three. So the hardest part of 667 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,200 Speaker 4: hosting SNL was the pre show table read because apparently 668 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 4: he can't really read that well. So inevitably social media 669 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 4: got a hold of that, got a hold of that, 670 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 4: and you know, they've been making a ton of fun 671 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,400 Speaker 4: of him. So, Ben, do you think any less of 672 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 4: Kelsey now that you know he has tough time reading? 673 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: No, because I think he was embellishing it. If he's 674 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: not embellishing it, I mean, that's pretty impressive. He went 675 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: to Cleveland Heights High School in Cleveland, he went to 676 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: the University of Cincinnati. I think he spent four years 677 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 1: in college. And if he was able to make it 678 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: through all that and not not be able to read, 679 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:29,479 Speaker 1: like there's reading at a high level and then there's 680 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 1: like reading just being able to read enough. I don't 681 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: doubt that Kelsey's not a prolific reader. He's a football player, 682 00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,239 Speaker 1: and he's like a meathead football player. I don't think 683 00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: any less of him. I never thought of him as 684 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: an academic type person anyway, So who cares? 685 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 4: You know? 686 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: Whether he reads a lot, and I'd like to think 687 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: that he's not totally lacking the ability to read anything 688 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: all right, Next. 689 00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 4: With all the potential trade rumors circling around Lebron right now, 690 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,839 Speaker 4: his son Brawn. He was asked how he feels about 691 00:38:57,840 --> 00:38:59,440 Speaker 4: all of it, so he said, he doesn't really pay 692 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,400 Speaker 4: attention all that stuff. But look, Ben, if Lebron Senior 693 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,160 Speaker 4: were to be traded, what do you think the Lakers 694 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:05,080 Speaker 4: would do with Bronni? 695 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,200 Speaker 1: They'd include him in the trade if Lebron No, I 696 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: don't think Lebron's being traded. And let me tell you Ian, 697 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: that is the number one answer publicists tell you the 698 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: number one answer when you're asked a difficult question is 699 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: if if it's about a play in a football game, 700 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: so I didn't see the play, and if it's about 701 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 1: trade rumors, you say, I don't pay attention to that stuff. 702 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 1: I was unaware of it. Right, You played dumb that way. 703 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 1: You just kind of kill the line of questioning and 704 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,279 Speaker 1: all that. But no, if the Lakers are gonna get 705 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: out of the Lebron business, if they are ready to 706 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 1: unload Lebron James, then it is a two for one 707 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: special at the flea market, and it's gonna be Lebron 708 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 1: and Bronni. They're going to trade them to the Knicks 709 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,040 Speaker 1: or the Cavaliers or to wherever, and I will guarantee 710 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 1: you that Bronni is absolutely aware of what's going on 711 00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: with Lebron and where he's gonna end up because he 712 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: is handcuffed to Lebron. The only reason he's in the NBA, 713 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: the kid can't play. The only reason he's in the 714 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: NBAS because it was Dad. Next. 715 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 4: So the Milwaukee Bucks, who you know, as you mentioned 716 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,880 Speaker 4: in the monologue yesterday, they recently released Damian Lillard and 717 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 4: they're reportedly eyeing twelve time All Star Chris Paul as 718 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:16,959 Speaker 4: his potential replacement. According to Chris Haynes, So, Ben, would 719 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 4: you like the forty year old CP three for the 720 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 4: Bucks as a short term bridge at point guard? 721 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: So only if you can get a Delorian and go 722 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 1: back to the future and head back, you know, back 723 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 1: in time. But no, listen, Chris Paul's washed up at 724 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: this point. He's a backup. I read where Chris Paul 725 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: wants to start. He's looking for his starting job. No, 726 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: I mean, he gotta signed somebody, but Chris Paul. I 727 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 1: have a feeling he's gonna end up with the Clippers 728 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,919 Speaker 1: and all that. But no, I would not I would 729 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,320 Speaker 1: not bring Chris paul In expecting him to be a starter, 730 00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: a play big minutes and all that at this point, 731 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: although he did play a lot in San Antonio on 732 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: a terrible Spurs team that seven people watched. All right, there, 733 00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: it is Mallor to the third degree. How did we do? 734 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,400 Speaker 4: It was close today, but you still managed to win 735 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 4: this one. Ben, nice jobs does a win? 736 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 1: I got the long. I don't think I've lost a 737 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: Mallard of the third degree this year. I think I'm 738 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: undefeated this year at MAL. What a streak, A record streak.
