For over forty years, tire Iraq has 22 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: been helping customers buy the right tires for how, what 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: and where they drive, ship fast and free back by 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile 25 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: tire installation, tire raq dot com the way tire buying 26 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: should be. So it was a Hall of famer along 27 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: gone Ernie Banks who famously said, let's play too. It's 28 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: a beautiful day for baseball. Let's play too. And I said, 29 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: it's a beautiful night for hot sports takes. So let's 30 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: play two. Let's have a This is the second half 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: of a day night, doubleheaded butter lead this hour. Do 32 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: not mess around, no small talk on this live show 33 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: Independence Day weekend, but our lead this hour from Cleveland, 34 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: just in time for the big holiday weekend here in 35 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: the United States. Major League Baseball facing a new scandal. 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: And there's one thing that I've grown to love over 37 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: my years of gas baggery, and that is a good 38 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: scandal you can really bite into. And this is a 39 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: pretty good one. It's a pretty good one. You might say. Well, now, 40 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: if you don't know much about it, you just see 41 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: the headline, ask nothing, but it's something, trust me if 42 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: you haven't seen it. So there's a team named after 43 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: a bridge that used to be called the Cleveland Indians, 44 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: but they changed their name because baseball was losing their 45 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: mind a few years back. So they're now named after 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: a bridge. They're called the Guardians as a Guardian Bridge 47 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: in Cleveland. And there's a pitcher named Luis or Teest 48 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: probably don't know who that is. Louis Ortiz is the 49 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: subject of a Major League Baseball gambling investigation and he 50 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: has been placed on the Naughty List, Yes, the non 51 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: disciplinary leave, which is the natty list, but we don't 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: want to say it's naughty. Now. The investigation, if you 53 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: were following along here, the investigation related to in game 54 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: prop bets on not one, but two pitches made by 55 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: Ortiz that for some reason, a lot of money was 56 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: bet a lot of activity, and that raised a red flag. 57 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: There were unusual amounts of money wagered on a couple 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: of random pitches. Now, if you're not a gambler, you 59 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: can bet on everything, right, and yeah, exactly, And so 60 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: this was going to start in Seattle on June fifteenth, 61 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: much to the dismay of Robbie the Mariner fan. And 62 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: then there was an outing more recently June twenty seventh, 63 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: so within the last last week or so in Saint Louis. 64 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: Cleveland was in Saint Louis, so the gambling activity of 65 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: those pitches was given. The dreaded red flag was highlighted 66 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: by a betting integrity firm. That is, the group that 67 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: found this, not Major League Baseball. At outside firm. They 68 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: read flagged this and they contacted Major League Baseball. Baseball 69 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: has said that Ortiz is on paid leave through the 70 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: end of the All Star Break and players return to 71 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: their teams July seventeenth. The games zoom the following day 72 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: on July eighteenth, so he can go on a nice 73 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: tropical vacation and possibly never come back. Now, that can 74 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: be extended, and if you don't believe me, asked Trevor Bauer. 75 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: It can be extended if the investigation remains ongoing. So 76 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: it's one of those saying, oh, we don't find anything, 77 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, we'll keep holding this guy back. So let 78 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the esteem panel, which you 79 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: are part of. What intrigues you most about the Guardians 80 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: pitcher Luis Orties gave drama exactly. So I've got Flamingo, 81 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,600 Speaker 1: Craigslist and Jigsaw puzzle, and we will combine all of 82 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: these things together, and we are going to wrap ourselves 83 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: in the flag, is what we're going to do, because 84 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: that's what you got to do, kind of Fourth July weeknd, 85 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 1: you wrap yourself in flag. So a listen, this story 86 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: has all the ingredients, all the ingredients of a modern 87 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: day sports scandal stew because you've got a no name pitcher, 88 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: a couple of random sliders and I'm not talking about 89 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: these kind that you eat that. And these sliders they 90 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: missed the plate. I think they were in the next 91 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: zip code over. They were at least a zip code 92 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: away from where they needed to be. And you've got 93 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: a betting integrity firm that is like a basset hound 94 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: and they're sniffing around. They're sniffing right, and they're there. 95 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 1: They're the bloodhound at a barbecue. And so we're talking 96 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: about a picture that you could not pick out out 97 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: of a police lineup. If I said, hey, can you 98 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: pick the one that is the pitcher and this guy 99 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: was the only one wearing a baseball uniform and a glove, 100 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: you still wouldn't pick him out of the police lineup. 101 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 1: So on both of the pitches, and of course the 102 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: Internet finds this stuff right away and for our blind listeners, 103 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: both of the pitches that were red flagged by Major 104 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: League Baseball or the outside firm that went to Major 105 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: League Baseball. The pitcher Luis Ortiz opened the inning with 106 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: a slider that, to quote the Great Lake Tommy Lesorda, 107 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: would not have hit water if it fell out of 108 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: a bleeping boat. All right. When a roster spam pitcher 109 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: suddenly becomes the darling of the prop bet underworld, there 110 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 1: are alarm bells that start ringing right eww. Just it 111 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: sounds like that, and it stands out when you have 112 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: a pitcher that much like the guy in the Toronto 113 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Raptors that was suspended from the NBA for gambling and 114 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: all that, John tay Porter. I believe the guys, and 115 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: then we even knew he was. So nobody knows who 116 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Luis Ortiz is, and all of a sudden people have 117 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: been a lot of money on a pitch of a 118 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: third inning. That that's nothing that stands out like a 119 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: flamingo in a flock of pigeons. Of flamingo in a 120 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: flock of pigeons right now. As for the non disciplinary 121 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: paid league, that is corporate jargon. Let me use my 122 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: malor Rosetta Stone to translate, that is major League Baseball's 123 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: way of saying, we don't want to admit yet that 124 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: he did it, but we also don't want him anywhere 125 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: near a Major League Baseball clubhouse, and certainly not a mound, 126 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: because we do not want to deal with the Pete 127 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: rose in disguise when we find that out. Now, when 128 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: Major League Baseball got into it, and I like gambling, 129 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: I've done the last couple of years, I've done a 130 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: TV show about gambling. When major League Baseball got into 131 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: bed with the gambling industry, got a lot of money, right, 132 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: Did they think that the sheets were going to stay 133 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: clean up? No? No, this is not the first, it 134 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: will not be the last. A Major League Baseball will 135 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: continue to be. The word I will use is be deviled. 136 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: That's the word I will use by the gambling gods, 137 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: and they get the checks and from the very industry 138 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: that I just love the fact that for my entire childhood, 139 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: baseball treated gambling like it was a deadly disease. It 140 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: was a virus. And now every pitch, every swing, in fact, 141 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: if the right fielder of the Atlanta Braves sneezes on 142 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: a one o'clock start on a Saturday afternoon. You can 143 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: bet on it. If it happens between the third and 144 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: the sixth inning, you can bet on that. It's all 145 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: potential wagers. And if you can bet on it, you can. 146 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: I'll guarantee you know this. You can manipulate it, right, 147 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: If you can bet on it, you can manipulate it. 148 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: It's not paranoia. It's math, is what it is, all right. Now, 149 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: turning the page on that, we go to Los Angeles 150 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: where the Dodgers completed the sweep of Marquee Mark Chicago 151 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: White Sox. Like that was a shocker. Dodgers lost Max Munsey. Now, 152 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: I was doing the day portion of the day night doubleheader. 153 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: We didn't know how long monce he would be out. 154 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: We still don't really know the Dodger third baseman, Max Munsey. 155 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 1: They're saying, now he's out for not one, not two, 156 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: not three, not four, not five, How about six weeks? 157 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: Six weeks? Max Monsey's out. They're calling it a bone bruise, 158 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: not a tear, not a tear, not a fracture, not 159 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: a fracture, a bruise. A Bruce now looked watching the replay, 160 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,839 Speaker 1: which for reasons Beyond Me was not shown on the 161 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: local LA Dodger broadcast. Bat Job by Them, but it 162 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 1: looked like the Max Mounsey knee had been hit by 163 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: a pickup truck that was driven by Michael Taylor of 164 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 1: the Chicago White Sox who slid in the third base. 165 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: It was a kind of a play that you would 166 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 1: see maybe in like nineteen seventy seven. You don't normally 167 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: see it today. And the knee bent like you might 168 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: imagine a folding chair after you've had too many hot 169 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: dogs and burgers at a Fourth of July barbecue. You know, 170 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: we'll wait on you and snap and then down goes 171 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: the chair. So how do you How did the Dodgers navigate? 172 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: How did the Dodgers navigate things without Max Monsey in 173 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: the lineup? So the obvious thing is you start out 174 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: by saying, well, well, next man up? Right, you go, well, 175 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: next man up. You know that's the way it's got 176 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: to work, and all this stuff, and you know, do 177 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: your job, all those things that we've said for years. 178 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: But the regular season, you know, the Dodgers, you figure 179 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: they'll patch it together. They've got some time here, the 180 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: grueling adventure marathon. But this is an absolute gut punch, 181 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: mostly because Max Munsey no longer sucks. He flipped the switch. 182 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: He he was terrible for the first month the season. 183 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: Max months he betted one eighty four with one home run. 184 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: I would have released him if I ran the Dodgers. 185 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: And then he had this magic moment. He had this 186 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: magic epiphany and it's called bifocals. Yes, who knew. So 187 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: since months he put on glasses, he has been seeing 188 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: the ball like Neo in the matrix. Last fifty games, 189 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: he has been as hot as the sidewalks out there 190 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: in Palm Springs. Two ninety one batting average, twelve home 191 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: runs and a nine to seventy four ops, which the 192 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: nerds get all horny about. And so now in the meantime, 193 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: the Dodgers in the short term are gonna have Miguel 194 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: Rojas and Key k Hernandez who's only good in the playoffs, 195 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: trying to hold down the fort. And so it's it's 196 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: not really a platoon. That's that's like an ad you 197 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: posted on Craigslist that really messed it up. You know, 198 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: wanted one hot corner savior. Bring your own glove and 199 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: bring your own cleats and all that, and there you go, 200 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: so Roll and Hernandez who have the same amount of 201 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: pop as a wet sponge, but they will be playing there. 202 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: And this is in many ways the Dodgers' annual summer tradition. 203 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 1: If you look at the calendar of the Dodgers in 204 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: this era, they spend a lot of money, they get 205 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: the biggest names they can get every offseason. That happens 206 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: in December and January, and then in the spring in 207 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: March and April, it's snap, crackle pop. But then right 208 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: around Midsummer, a key position player normally goes down for 209 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: the count. So it's not the fourth of July weekend 210 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: until another prominent player is on what used to be 211 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: called the disabled list for the Dodgers. And then you 212 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: have Dave Roberts saying we're optimistic. I think I've heard 213 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: Dave Roberts say we're optimistic about injured players more than 214 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: i've heard him say I like him in that spot. 215 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: So there you go, all right, last word, quickly, panic 216 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: in the Bronx. The Bronx is burning. So we're hearing 217 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: the Yankees. The Yankees have figured out, they've had a 218 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: great epiphany and they've realized they need to start calling 219 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: teams to try to make a trade. They do not 220 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: have a third basement. Of course, some would argue they 221 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: don't have a shortstop either. They have decided that Jazz 222 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: Chisholm good name, a lot of Rasthma Taz, pretty mediocre player. 223 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: They decided, though, he belongs at second base. So are 224 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: you okay with that? The Dodgers are the Yankees rather 225 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: have decided they're gonna move Jazz Chism to the second 226 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: base and then back to second base. He's not a 227 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: third baseman, so obviously don't have any skin in the game. 228 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: But sometimes, as my friend Uncle Moe, who used to 229 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 1: live in Brooklyn but now lives in Jersey, would tell you, 230 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: the jigsaw pussle pieces just don't fit, and you can't 231 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: force them to. You can't do it right now, Jazz 232 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 1: as a third baseman, square peg forced into a round hole. 233 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: It's kind of like if you go out car shopping 234 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: and you buy yourself a ferrari and then you use 235 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 1: it as a snowplow. That's not what it's for. It's 236 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: a waste of a far Now. I'm not saying this 237 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: is a ferrari by any means. Put jazz is much 238 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: better at second than third. So this is a it 239 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 1: is a correction, it's ad meeting. Hey, we screwed up, 240 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: and so now with this decision, they go all right, bam, 241 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: let's kick it up a couple of notches at the 242 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: at the trade deadline. So is that Nolan Aeronado from 243 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: Saint Louis, Like, who are they gonna get? It's not 244 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 1: exactly rocket science here, it's it's simply baseball. There's only 245 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: so many third basemen that are obviously available, so you 246 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: just try not to screw it up. So stay tuned, 247 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: developing high dot dot dot. It is the Ben Mahlard Show. 248 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: As we are just beginning the red Eye flight all 249 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: night long and hopefully smooth, smooth sky skys.

Big shakeup 289 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: though on tap allegedly in the Grand Canyon State, like 290 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: a monsoon coming in this time of the year. If 291 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: you have not been paying attention to the scuttle but 292 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: perhaps not, we have learned that the once proud basketball 293 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: team discussing a potential massive buyout of Bradley Beal. It 294 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: would be bye by Beal, is what it would be now. 295 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,199 Speaker 1: If you have not paid attention Bradley Beal's time in 296 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: Phoenix has been the daily double. It has been injuries 297 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: and underwhelming performers. Now since Bradley Beal is one of 298 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: only two two players in the entire NBA with the 299 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: no trade clause, you know who the other one is. 300 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: It's not Bronnie No, it's not Bronnie j No, not 301 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: Luca No, not Jason Tate, not Steph Curry, Lebron Yeah. 302 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: So Bradley Beal and lebron the only players with no 303 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: trade clause is now. Beal has been incredibly difficult for 304 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,239 Speaker 1: the Suns to handle because he's bad at basketball right 305 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 1: now and they can't get rid of him. So if 306 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: he accepts a buyout that if he does that, he 307 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: would have to give up his no trade claw because 308 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be able to contract anymore. He would also 309 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: be an unrestricted free agent allowed to roam around the NBA. 310 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: I know you're very concerned about where he ends up 311 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: in the United States or Canada once he clears waivers. Now, 312 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: Phoenix will need Bradley Beal to leave a good chunk 313 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: of money on the table now per the rules, not 314 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: to get to the minutia, but per the rules, the 315 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: amount of salary the Sons have finagled the books. Now 316 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm a salary cap truther. I'm a salary cap truther. 317 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: But they cannot exceed fifteen percent of the salary cap 318 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: the salary they stretch out. So it's I'm not an 319 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: accountant either of you, I assume. So let us discuss 320 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: the question where does Bradley beal go. He's at a 321 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: fork in the road. Where does Bradley beal go? At 322 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: this fork in the road with the suns? So I've 323 00:19:52,800 --> 00:20:00,840 Speaker 1: got quantum leap, inflation crisis, and one legged duck quack 324 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: quack quack quack will combine all of these things together, 325 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: and we are going to make a delicious cheese steak sandwich, 326 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: which hot take better than a hot dog, better than 327 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: a burger. The cheese steak salmon properly made, properly may 328 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: proper amount of cheese, proper amount of steak, and then 329 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: a proper amount of onion pepper. All that all right? 330 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: So number wa, I said, number Wa, Bradley Beer. What 331 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: he's trying to do here is a hoodini. He's trying 332 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: to hoodeni his way out of the gilded cage covered 333 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: in gold. And he's the one that built the gilded cage, 334 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: right will he or won't he? So right now, oh 335 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: the drama. Bradley Beal is staring down a desert mirage 336 00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: there in Arizona. It's the ghost of his own past 337 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: and his past decisions, and so he's like, what am 338 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: I going to do? Well, it's right there in front. 339 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: It's like a heatstro hallucination over the valley of the Sun. 340 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 1: Now he's taken since he put on that Sun's uniform, 341 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 1: he has taken part and a very public quantum leap. 342 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:25,159 Speaker 1: He has gone from underrated stars stuck in d C 343 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: right with ostroch ant wathing him play basketball and nobody 344 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: else and you know, all boohoo, Bradley Beal good play 345 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: on a bad team, if only he played on a 346 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: good team. And then he went to a team that 347 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: was supposed to be good. And now he's changed his identity. 348 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: Bradley Beal now identifies as overpaid bust with a no 349 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: trade pause. That's his new identity. And so that's a 350 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: quantum leap. And so he's not just trying to leave Phoenix. 351 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: He's trying to rewrite the narrative, assuming he cares about 352 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: that before it fossilizes and that's it. Bradley Beal needs 353 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: to agree to give up a large amount of the 354 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 1: one hundred and ten point eight million in guaranteed salary 355 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: remaining on his contract for all of that to take place. 356 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: So it's an easy move. Here. The Malord think Tank 357 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: has been activated. Here's the advice, unsolicited overnight talk radio 358 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: advice to Bradley Beal. You give up twenty point eight 359 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: million of the one hundred and ten point eight million. 360 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: Give up twenty point eight million. That gets you down 361 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 1: to ninety million dollars. And if you can't make ends 362 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: meet on ninety million dollars, you've done something terribly wrong. 363 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: It is still larger. Ninety million dollars is larger than 364 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: the lottery payout in pretty much every state right now 365 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: in these United States on the fourth of July for reference, 366 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: Lotto Texas the jackpot is thirty three and a half million, 367 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: the New York Lottery fifteen point three million. How about 368 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: Mega Millions, which is in a number of states across 369 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: the country sixty million dollars. So Bradley Beal, if he 370 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: gave up twenty point eight he would still have thirty 371 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: million dollars more coming to him than the current jackpot 372 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: in the mega millions, and you can make that money back. 373 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: And what do you do You get into it? Be 374 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: into it. Dome in the hood in Inglewood. That's where 375 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: Steve Balmer's Clippers play in LA and Balmer not only 376 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: owns the Clippers, he's also been running a reputation rehab 377 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: where he brings in troubled NBA players, much to my dismay, 378 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: like Ben Simmons and a couple of years back, Russell Westbrook. 379 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: If you're on the NBA scrap heap, made a lot 380 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: of money and used to be good, the Clippers will 381 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: take you, no questions asked, no questions asked, and Bradley Beal, 382 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: come on down all right. Meanwhile, we now go to 383 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 1: the words of KCP, not KFC KCP. That's Centavious call 384 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 1: old Well Pope, not a real pope. He's a journeyman guard. 385 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: So he recently explained in a podcast interview that both 386 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton and Donovan Spider Mitchell are not superstars o MG. 387 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 1: Now for Kntavious Calbo Pope, he says a superstar must 388 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 1: be held to a higher standard, and he believes that 389 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: it's the consistency that sets apart the best of the best. 390 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 1: That was his argument, he says. He mentioned Lebron and 391 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: SGA and Nicole jokichen Giannis who almost always complete the deal. 392 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: They don't disappear in playoff games and all that, and 393 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: they contribute to the box score. He has a lot 394 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: of people get stats in basketball and low information fans 395 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: think they're better than they are. So question, are you 396 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: picking up what Kntavious ca Abo Pope is trying to 397 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: put down here on what makes a superstar? So on 398 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: this one, after a minutes long Mallard deliberation, I am 399 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: nodding my head. Yes, Contavious decided to light a match 400 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: on the fourth of July. Well it was actually earlier 401 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: on that, but light a match under the what he 402 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,879 Speaker 1: believes is the myth of Tyrese Haliburton and Donovan Mitchell 403 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: and their stardom. So I would like to rephrase the 404 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: argument because I think I can phrase it better. So 405 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: I'd like to rephrase it the NBA. What he's saying 406 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: to me, this is how I interpret it, Like fine art, 407 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: the NBA has a superstar inflation crisis, a superstar inflation crisis, 408 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: and what he's saying, is everyone who has a jump 409 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,239 Speaker 1: shot and you know, some kind of signature shoe and 410 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: a sizzle reel on social media is knighted like they're 411 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: the reincarnation of Air Jordan. You might remember during the finals, 412 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: SGA was being compared to Michael Jordan, who goofed. I've 413 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: got to know so anyway, Colwell, Pope, he didn't mince 414 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: his words. He called Halliburton a fifty to fifty guy 415 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: and said he would not build a team around Spider Mitchell. 416 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: Why because he said, the superstars they don't just fill 417 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: the stat sheet. They win, they elevate their teammates and 418 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: all that they show up on the big stage. All 419 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: those cliches, right, all those cliches, And the reference was 420 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: to Halliburton, who made several game winning shots in the playoffs, 421 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: like that shot at Madison Square Garden. One of the 422 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: great postseason shots that I've seen in a long time 423 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: in my life. It's got to be top five playoff shot. 424 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: Most of the other ones are mister big Shot, Robert 425 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: orri but Halliburton made several big shots. He also had 426 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: four points and was ozer of six. Remember that playoff game, 427 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: but it was Game five of the Finals against against 428 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: okay See had four points and no field goals made, 429 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: no field goals made. Now, Spider Mitchell is the NBA's 430 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,680 Speaker 1: version in Cleveland, and he was the same way in Utah. 431 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: He's the summer blockbuster that never gets any oscar buzz 432 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: because it's got cartoon characters in it. It's loud, you know, 433 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: a lot of explosions, it's flashy, and then yeah, I 434 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 1: kind of forget about it, and by the time the 435 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: buttered popcorn has left the bucket, you've moved on to 436 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: something else. But a superstar isn't just someone who gets 437 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 1: the baskets right, someone who changes the temperature of the room. 438 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: And so I would combine what he said he being 439 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: the aforementioned Kentavious called Will Pope with what Magic Johnson said. 440 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: We talked about this in a previous episode of So 441 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: Magic's on a yacht right now with Rodney Pete somewhere 442 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: in Europe. But Magic Johnson said that a true superstar 443 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: doesn't just dominate, they fill the arena. Now. He also 444 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: talked about inspiration all that, but I box office, like 445 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: that's a big part of it, and are people going 446 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: out of their way to buy tickets to watch Spider 447 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: Mitchell eh no sga eh now all right, final point, 448 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 1: developing drama, developing weekend drama, Mile High City. The Nuggets 449 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: made a move which is not official yet as the 450 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: teas have not been crossed and the eyes have not 451 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: been deted dotted. The newest addition to the Nuggets, Yonas Valentunis, 452 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: great name, great regular season player, limited in the playoffs. 453 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 1: Limited in the playoffs. So Yonas Valentunis was traded from 454 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: Sacramento to Denver's not official yet. He may never play 455 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: for the Nuggets. May never play for the Nuggets. After all, 456 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: he's thirty three years old from Lithuania, and the reports 457 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: we're hearing now he's close to accepting an offer from 458 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: a Greek powerhouse team in Athens, a move to Athens 459 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 1: and play there. Valentnis could soon sign a three year 460 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: contract twelve million dollars. There's a problem, He's currently under 461 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 1: contract with the Sacramento Kings. That contract's going to be 462 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: transferred to the Denver Nuggets for ten point four million 463 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 1: for one year. So that NBA contract includes a team 464 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 1: option to extend him for another year. It's beginning to 465 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: look to some as low Valentnists would actually prefer to 466 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: play overseas. And so that news comes just a couple 467 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: of days after that trade was announced, not a major trade, 468 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: but people getting all horny because the Nuggets improve their 469 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 1: bench and Valentis is supposed to be part of that. 470 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: Denver unloaded one of their bad contracts to get Valenters. 471 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: So the question does Yonas Valentnis have ulterior motives by 472 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: threatening to leave the NBA before he ever wears a 473 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: Nuggets uniform and go play for a team in Greece? 474 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:11,479 Speaker 1: So does he have ulterior motives? Does a one legged 475 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: duck swimming circle bingo? Right? And this is not about 476 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: I want to be clear, this is not where he 477 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: actually wants to play for the team in Greece. I 478 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: don't buy that. This is not Wonder Lost or anything 479 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: like that. It is a contract negotiation with a side 480 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 1: of sauce, Suzeki sauce. Right. I mean this is a 481 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:38,160 Speaker 1: classic euro I'm dangling this European contract and everyone knows 482 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 1: the playbook. We've seen this before. It hasn't been used 483 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: that often recently, but Valentius is like, listen, I'm gonna 484 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: go play for the Nuggets you're gonna have as a backup, 485 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 1: which means my stats aren't gonna be that good. I'm 486 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: thirty three. By the time I'm up for my next contract, 487 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: i'll be thirty four years old, and nobody's gonna pay 488 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: me the amount of money I want. So give me 489 00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: another year or guarantee you're gonna buy out my contract 490 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: and I'll be able to be a free agent at 491 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: the end of the year. Right, So he's essentially he's 492 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:12,959 Speaker 1: looking at his money. He realizes he's passed his prime valentiunis. 493 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: He's like, all right, I'll take my hammer and I'll 494 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: crack open the piggy bank and I'll hornswoggle the nuggets 495 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: to pay me to be a backup, and I'll squeeze 496 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,200 Speaker 1: a few more shekels out of the Denver Nuggets or 497 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: else I'll go eat.
