1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number three, our number three,

2
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 1: and we are ready to go. Here. We'll talk some

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball. What is the message that Adam Silver

4
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: is sending to NBA fans by opening the doors to

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: handpicked influencers for the upcoming All Star Game in LA.

6
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: What messages Adam Silver sending? We'll talk about that. Also,

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: what was Lebron James hoping to accomplish by saying that

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: the Lakers are not a championship team? And I said

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: this before the Lakers got blown out by the Spurs

10
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: when they played a bunch of backups. We'll comment on that. Also,

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: where do you stand on Donovan Spider Mitchell saying that quote,

12
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: this is the window for the new look Cavaliers with

13
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: James Harden. Fear the beard, unless that's not what anyone's

14
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: going to do in the playoffs. We'll get to all

15
00:00:55,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: of that and more right now. It's our number three.

16
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes in life you just stop trying, uh

17
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: maybe you stop putting on nice clothes, you stop trying

18
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: to smell nice. It happens, well, it's happening in a

19
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: professional sports league. This weekend, we will discuss welcome in

20
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,039

27

43
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Party Plus. What

44
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: does that even mean? I'll explain. So the NBA is

45
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: making more changes to their fugazy All Star Game. It's

46
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: coming up here a couple of days from now would

47
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: be All Star Weekend, which used to be a big thing.

48
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: It mattered, it meant something for a lot of people.

49
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: And if you believe that it does still, you're a loser.

50
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: It means nothing. They have killed. It's one of those

51
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: things and this happens. You get through life and it's

52
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: one of those things. It just doesn't matter. Kind of

53
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: like at one point people valued typewriters. People thought that

54
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: that was very important. And the Horse and Buggy and

55
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: the All Star Game in the NBA. Well, if you

56
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: have not heard the latest on this, perhaps not, we

57
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: know they had changed the format of the All Star Game. Well,

58
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: it was announced to this week that we have learned

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: the NBA is turning the twenty twenty six All Star Weekend,

60
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: which is in Los Angeles, into a content factory more

61
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: than two hundred hand selected creators. We'll be roaming around LA.

62
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: Of course, this might mean something if you were in

63
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: a town where you don't have this, but I think

64
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: this is everywhere. LA is just filled with these a holes.

65
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: They're everywhere. Anyway, The league picked this group of prominent

66
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: influencers to cover live broadcast All Star weekend in arena

67
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: programming on court competitions and fan events, and so that

68
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: is a that's a good jumping off point. Let us

69
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: discuss the question what message is Adam Silver and his

70
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: group of minions sending to NBA fans that they've opened

71
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: the doors hand picked influencers for the All Star Game.

72
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: So I've got Hannibal Lecter, camouflage and little Ditty, and

73
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're

74
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna make some chicken Alfredo fat accini alfredo, little chicken

75
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: on top there, the nice sauce, the alfredo sauce. And

76
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. So first of all, if

77
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: you look up to the to the to the right,

78
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: it's actually the If you look up to the right,

79
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: here you will see on the very top of the

80
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't give an f mountain. You will see Adam

81
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: Silver and he's waving a surrendered towel and it's got

82
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: the NBA logo. It's right up there. He's got the

83
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: NBA surrender logo on it, right there. The message for

84
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: those few people that still look forward to All Star weekend,

85
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: you're not the customer we want. You're not your background noise.

86
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: We're done with you. Turn out the lots, the parties over,

87
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: just like that. So two hundred look at me, creators,

88
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: the plague of the Earth roaming around l A. This

89
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: sounds like the manuscript. It's like the plot of a

90
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: horror movie. This does not terrible. Oh my god, roaming

91
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: around here these evil monsters. Are they lizard people? No, No,

92
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: even worse than lizard people. They're influencers. Oh my god.

93
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: They've got their ring lights. They're gonna kill you in

94
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: a selfie stick. Watch out, they're gonna kill you with

95
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: a selfie stack. Oh my god. The carnage so stupid.

96
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: So the NBA, this is their plan. They multi billion

97
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: dollar business, the NBA. They've killed the regular season, they've

98
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: killed the All Star Game. So like we're gonna fix

99
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: the All Star Game. I know what we're gonna do

100
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: in our offices on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Here's what

101
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna save the All Star Game.

102
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 1: But we couldn't save it. So now what we're gonna

103
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: do is we're just gonna turn All Star weekend into

104
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: a petting zoo for tick talkers. Second, petty pet the

105
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: NBA player. There's a mascot over there. Look it's Benny

106
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: the Bull. It's it's the Condor from the Clippers. Look

107
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: at that a little video. It's so great. You realize

108
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: this is like Hannibal Elector level stuff. Like this is

109
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: Hannibal Lecter level stuff. The NBA is eating its own product,

110
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: trying to stay alive. They've given up. They've said, no, Mas,

111
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: we got nothing. All right, we got nothing, and all

112
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: under the guys of saying it's about reaching the next generation.

113
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: That's I love that. I love it. I love it,

114
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: I love it, I love it, I love it. I'm

115
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: trying to reach the next generation. And I hear that,

116
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: and my BS detector, my BS detector starts burning up.

117
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 1: The motor in my BS detector actually starts burning up.

118
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: You know what this is. I'll tell you exactly what

119
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: this is I know people who are involved in these

120
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: type of decisions, and as I understand it, what happened

121
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: here is the people running the NBA fell for the

122
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: same nonsense that the people that the NFL dealt with.

123
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: We saw this, I saw this up close last week.

124
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: But it's consultant nonsense is essentially what it is like.

125
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: These leagues have been sold a bill of goods, like

126
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: imagine them going to an airport, seminar, a motel six,

127
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: PowerPoint presentation, spider alert. I don't care how many influenced

128
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: you can have, twenty five thousand influencers. Gen Z ain't watching.

129
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna make any money from gen Z. It's

130
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: not happening. They don't care. They've been raised on devices

131
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: on screens and we're not sitting there and watching a

132
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: two and a half hour NBA game. They want no

133
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: part of that. And the idea that somehow this is

134
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: going to create a generation of fans, it is so ridiculous.

135
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: I would love to give an award whoever's was able

136
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: to sell these NBA executives that this is the way

137
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,239
Speaker 1: to do it. What a sales pitch? Could you imagine

138
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: the elevator pitch Okay, So the people that watch a

139
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: one second clip, by the way, you get credit for

140
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: one second, one second clip, are they gonna watch the

141
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets play the Toronto Raptors on a Wednesday night

142
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock please? Please? Uh? And in comparison, if

143
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: you look at the amount of revenue that you can make,

144
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: and it's not a big time business here on TikTok

145
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: and Instagram platforms like that, it's essentially pocket lint compared

146
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: to with the real cash cow, which has been television.

147
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: And people aren't watching as much television they used to

148
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: because of the same situation. So in comparison, it's pennies

149
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: on the dollar compared to television. So the message is

150
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: again the messages the NBA. They don't believe in their

151
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: own product. They have given up on trying to convince

152
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: the athletes to try and compete. They they've said, we

153
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: can't do it. They don't want to compete, and we're done,

154
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: and so let's just bring in the selfie stick crowd

155
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: And I saw it at the Super Bowl. Radio row

156
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: has been tarnished forever by these dopes that were running around.

157
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare, is what it was. And but

158
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: there's been no evidence that I have seen that this works.

159
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: And I've often ranted about the matrix and how it

160
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: is so easy to manipulate the numbers online and there

161
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: are more people on Instagram that live in the world.

162
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: It's it's insane, you know, it's it's really and yet

163
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: it is the greatest hustle, and there are people that

164
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: are able to pull it off, and they're able to

165
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: convince really smart people and listen, I knew this. I

166
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: read a book about magic. I was fascinated as a

167
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: kid with magic. I love magic. I used to go

168
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: to the magic Shop at Disney I grew up near Disneyland,

169
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: used to go there all the time, loved it. My

170
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: favorite spot at disney I was a magic shop. And

171
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: then I started reading books about magic, and it was

172
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't sitting here. You can see anything

173
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: you want online. But I would be like, hey, you

174
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: know this is cool. Then and I'd learned like some

175
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: of the smartest people, leaders of countries, people that have

176
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: the nuclear codes, would fall for basic magic tricks. So

177
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how smart you are, how educated you are,

178
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 1: you can fall for the hustle. And to me, this

179
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: is one of the great all time hustles that there

180
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: are people obviously a lot of people on social media,

181
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: but the numbers, it is a dystopian number that is

182
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: tossed out. You can manipulate the numbers, and these there

183
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: are major companies that are worth billions, and there is

184
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: so much manipulation going on if the lay person doesn't

185
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: understand it. But I'm telling you, it's wild. It's absolutely wild.

186
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: So there you go. So the NBA does not believe

187
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: in their product anymore again, and instead of selling you steak,

188
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: they are now going to sell you little bite sized

189
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: pieces with a toothpick of that steak. All right now.

190
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: Secondly to La we Go, Lakers got blown out by this.

191
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: How great was that? Go San Antonio, go Wemby. Of

192
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: course Lakers didn't try. They forfeited that game, although they

193
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: didn't tell the people that paid money to go to

194
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: the game they were forfeiting the game, but they did.

195
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: They didn't play a single starter and so great way

196
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: to screw over your fan base. That's the Lakers anyway.

197
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: So prior to that, Lebron James got snippy. Lebron James

198
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: got a little snippy with the media. He was asked

199
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: about how the Lakers match up to the reigning champions

200
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: of the NBA OKC Do you see this? And Lebron

201
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: got his panties in a bunch. He said, you want

202
00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: me to compare us to them? That's a championship right there.

203
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: Lebron said, we're not. He grumbled to the media. We

204
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: can't sustain energy or an effort, he said for forty

205
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: eight minutes, and they can. That's why they won a championship.

206
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: Close quote, all right, question what was Lebron James hoping

207
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: to accomplish by pointing out that the Lakers are not

208
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: a championship? Big headline all over the way. So Lebron

209
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: was executing the calculated narrative shift. He knows how this

210
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: is going to go. The Lakers didn't have Luca in

211
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: these last couple of games, says what happened to? Luca's

212
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: in great shape. He's not going to get hurt. He's

213
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: ready to go. He got hurt, remember those stories, greatest

214
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: shape his life. He was on the cover of like

215
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Men's Fitness or whatever that magazine no one reads is

216
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 1: and oh, he's in such great shape, but he's never

217
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: gonna get hurt. Raised seems like he's hurt. Can't talk

218
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: about that part though, But as far as Lebron, by

219
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: publicly declaring the Lakers are not a championship team, what

220
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 1: Lebron is doing is he is downplaying any expectations. This

221
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: is a classic move by Lebron. Some people run towards

222
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: they want the high expectation. Lebron's not one of those people.

223
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: Lebron is creating camouflagh might as well be working for

224
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: the Army of the Marines here. Wants to hide the

225
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: fact that he's always supposed to be winning championships and

226
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: playing for championships. He's been an abject failure with the Lakers.

227
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: They've won no championships since Lebron got to the Lakers,

228
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: and this is gonna be another lost season for the Lakers.

229
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: It's mediocrity. And despite all the glitz and glamours. Oh,

230
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: they got big names, they got Luca, they got Lebron.

231
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: The Lakers are firmly entrenched in a place I call

232
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: the middleweight division. They're not a heavyweight. They're a middleweight.

233
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: It could be a lightweight. They're not that. They're a

234
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: middleweight team. They got the star power with Lebron and

235
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: Luca and gives the the shimmer illusion that they are

236
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: an elite team. Mean, at this butt, this thing keeps snapping,

237
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: all right, so they say, hey, you know we're we

238
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: are this you know, big star laden team and we're

239
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: good to go and all that stuff, and yeah, not

240
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: so much. You look behind the curtain and it's like

241
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: they don't really play much defense. That's like YMCA level.

242
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: It's like pickup basketball defense. If they used to play

243
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: pick up basketball. I was Moneyball Mallard back in the day,

244
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: and pick up basketball there's usually one guy who's really

245
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: annoying that tries to play defense, and everyone else just

246
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: wants to play offense, and that one guy's really annoying.

247
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: They don't even have one guy that's trying to play defense.

248
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: The Lakers are twenty eighth in block shots. How's that

249
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton thing we're working out? There's seventeenth in scoring

250
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: defense at a thirty league team, a thirty team league.

251
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: That's average at best, and so not exactly an iron wall,

252
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: more like a creampuff. But wait, there's more. The Lakers

253
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: have actually been statistically better. You would know this on

254
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: the game that was played on Tuesday night, But the

255
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: Lakers have been better this year without Lebron James on

256
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: the court. They had a higher winning percentage. They still do.

257
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: It's not as good as it was because they lost

258
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: that game last night. So they've been better without him,

259
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: and Lebron liesn't he can see the writing on the wall,

260
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: the graffiti on the wall. This squad is destined for

261
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: another early playoff bump. They're not going far. And it's

262
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: the same old Lebron James script. We've seen him. He's

263
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: been in the league so long, we've seen it. He

264
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: knows he's pigeonholed this team because he knows they're frauds.

265
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't used as some kind of wake up call. No,

266
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: he knows they're frauds and he just wanted to point

267
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: it out. So just don't get your expectations up and

268
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's a total cynicism by Lebron James,

269
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: is what it is. And so he's lowering the bar.

270
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: You're supposed to elevate the bar. You're lowering the bar,

271
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: and they'll get bounced the first round. See him losing

272
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: the first round depending on matchups, or is it the

273
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: second round? And then Lebron and said, I told you so,

274
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: we just were not a championship team. Play the Yabbitt game.

275
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah it Yeah but

276
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: if Luca hadn't got hurt, Yeah, but ye have it,

277
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: ye have it, you have it. Yeah. But if we

278
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: had made that trade, yeah it, ye have it, ye

279
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, the Yabbitt Rabbit. All right, Final five

280
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: to Northern Ohio. We go where the weather sucks and

281
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: the basketball's pretty good lately. Donovan Spider Mitchell. We have

282
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: a follow up, follow up, new comments, follow up new

283
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: comments from Donovan Mitchell discussing the championship pedigree and the

284
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: pressure the Cadavers have and he believes the time is now.

285
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: The time is now o MG YEP. Calves acquired James

286
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: Harden from the People's Team recently the trade deadline, and

287
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell said, quote, I think you understand what's at stake,

288
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: He said to the Calves beat writers. You see what's here.

289
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,160
Speaker 1: There's a window. This is the window. This is there's

290
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: the time, Donovan Mitchell said, in a sense, the team

291
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: is going all in. It's time to go when you

292
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: make that move. Meeting James Harden. Understanding James age Mitchell's

293
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: quote continues, and where he's at in his career, the

294
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: time is now. There is no runway, Mitchell said, in

295
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: a sense with a group like that, you sacrifice even more,

296
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: you believe even more. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Now,

297
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: I added that last part blah blah blah blah blah

298
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,679
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. I added that was not an

299
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: actual quote from Donovan Mitchell. The beginning part was the

300
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: last part blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I

301
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: added that question where do you stand on Donovan Mitchell

302
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: and his announcement from the top of the bully pulpit

303
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: that this is the window for the new Look Cavaliers

304
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: with James Harden. So where do I stand? I stand.

305
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the win though, Like where is

306
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: what is the window there? I don't say the window

307
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: for sadness, the window for regret? Is that what Donovan

308
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: Mitchell's talking about? Which window is it? Because like, what

309
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: are you doing? Another therapy bill for people in Cleveland? Like, well,

310
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: we haven't won?

311
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: Will you won?

312
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: With Lebron we don't win? Well, okay, well you're not

313
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: gonna win with James Harden. It is pure bravado. Pure

314
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: bravado is what it is. And Mitchell's out there pounding

315
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: his chest saying that this is our time. Listen. I

316
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: like that. I like the machismo. Do you understand that

317
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: it sounds like you are the creator of the dumbbell

318
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: ride when you say that adding James Harden is going

319
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: to put you over the top. Have you not watched

320
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: NBA playoff basketball for the last fifteen years? Like, where

321
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: have you been? What have you been doing? Seriously, is

322
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: this make believe? Are we doing make Maybe we're doing

323
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: make believe. It's like betting on the Indy five hundred

324
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: or upcoming the Daytona five hundred, which is just coming

325
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: up here. It's like betting on the Daytona five hundred.

326
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: And then I'd like the car that doesn't have any

327
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: spark plugs to win. Well, it's probably not gonna win.

328
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: It's probably not gonna win. Good luck on that. So Cleveland,

329
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about pH poisoning. It's a big problem in

330
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: the NBA postseason. Have you heard of pH poisoning? No,

331
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: you have not. I should have put out a warning

332
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: that's playoff Harden. Poisoning is what it is. And we

333
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: have a little ditty for my friends in Cleveland Strip Club,

334
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: John and all the boys in northern Ohio, OHIOI we

335
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: have a little ditty here and it goes like this, Oh,

336
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: you better watch out. You better not cry, you better

337
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: not shout. I'm telling you why. Playoff Harden is coming

338
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: to town. Playoff Harden's coming to town, and he's gonna

339
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: vomit in the vomit comment. All right, now, hide the women,

340
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: hide the children, hide the faint of heart. It is

341
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: not fun for all ages unless you bet on the

342
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: other team. James Carden's body of work is legend. I

343
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: tried to give him the benefit of doubt. He did

344
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: it the same crap with the Clippers. I said, things

345
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: are gonna be different with the Clippers. They were not

346
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: same crap bag player in the playoffs, he's some guys

347
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: are cut out for big games and some guys aren't.

348
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: We know which category James Harden is in. The guy's

349
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: a leegend to Hall of Famer, first Battle Hall of Famer,

350
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: right next to Muffett McGraw in the pro bouncy Ball

351
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And then he performs measurably worse in

352
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: just about every area in the postseason, or another way

353
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: to phrase it, he disappears. It's like Bermuda Triangle, playoff Harden,

354
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: big games and dominant regular season ballplayer high stakes elimination time,

355
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: and he's getting a lap dance, is what he's doing.

356
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: It is nothing wrong with that. It is the Ben

411
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: I can't say, I can't do it. It is fascinating

412
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: how many suckbag coaches do the Raiders have to hire before.

413
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: Some people are like, well, maybe we should have some

414
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: critical thinking here and not get excited because they hired

415
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: somebody who's a NEPO baby. I don't, what do you

416

Speaker 1: want me to do? So? Raiders fans are so funny, right, who?

417
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't think I said anything outrageous. I

418
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: like this, They've hired a parade of losers.

419
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 4: And I'm sure you don't even know this because like

420
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: you don't really check social media other than when you're

421
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,199
Speaker 4: doing the show. Yeah, but uh, you know if the

422
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio count tweeted out a video of your

423
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 4: monologue from yesterday's show about Clint Kobyac and you just

424
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: got you got so much hate in the comments section

425
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 4: from all these Raiders fans calling you every name of

426
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: the book, and it's like, what do you what do

427
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 4: you have to stand on?

428
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: What?

429
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 4: What part of your history over the last twenty years

430
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 4: tells you that this is gonna be different?

431
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? You're You're essentially the Cleveland Browns with black and silver. Yeah,

432
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's just seems terrible. I I love it.

433
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 1: I am so happy. I you really I want to

434
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: thank the Raider fans coop because they really. I mean,

435
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: it touches my heart that you get that work, you

436
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: really value my opinion. I am honored that you're that

437
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: offended by just I don't even think it's an outrageous take.

438
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: It's not. I'm just really pointing out what's been going on.

439
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,399
Speaker 1: I've been here twenty I've been here twenty five years,

440
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: and the Raiders have maybe John Gruden was good, but

441
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: other than that, every other coach has been terrible. Every

442
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: other coaches sucked. And I gotta sit here and pretend like, oh,

443
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be great. Why because he grew up

444
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: when his dad was changing diapers while he was coaching

445
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Come on, anyway, let me pay off

446
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: the riddle of the day. Here it is. Officials released

447
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: a prepared statement saying that Olympic medals will no longer blank,

448
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: will no longer blank, and Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota

449
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: says the will no longer come with birth control pills

450
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: Right Bobby and Florida Key Lime Pie Bobby says, no

451
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: longer redeemable for Benny Awards is the answer far out.

452
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: Dave in Ohio says, slither, shrink, stink, super slimy serious

453
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: silver shank shard. He just put a bunch of s

454
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: words together. That's far out. Dave Lady Sideburns, a fan favorite,

455
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: says no longer be physical objects. We're going all digital. Baby,

456
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Alf the Alien Pinter also said

457
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: no longer will be physical only accessible on your phone?

458
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: Said your photo of a medal? What else do we

459
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: have a page on the Sawman says medals will no

460
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: longer be accepted as EBT cards. Took a shot, he said, no.

461
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: No generations watching the NBA All Star Game or the

462
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. That that is correct. All generations have agreed

463
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: that that's not worth our time. Not good. Malaprop guy

464
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: says Olympic medals no longer can be used to pay

465
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: tolls in California because of rising costs.

466
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that reminds me I need to pay

467
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: my toll for crossing.

468
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: The bridge, which the Bay Bridge?

469
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 5: Yes, did you pay your toll?

470
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: I didn't go that. I went the long way. I

471
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: took every way you go in you have to pay? No, No,

472
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm good the way I went. I didn't go. I

473
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't have to pay. Wait what Yeah, I

474
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 1: went the long way you curve around, you can avoid

475
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 1: paying the biscuits. Yeah, it took me ten hours to

476
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: get back, though I saved five bucks on a toll.

477
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,360
Speaker 1: It took me ten hours to get back. But I say,

478
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: one on one you have fun. I took the one

479
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: on one. Not a lot of fun on the one

480
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: o one. I did go through Gilroy, though I love Gilroy.

481
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: Smells like garth.

482
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 5: Have you ever had the garlic ice cream?

483
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been. I used to go to the Garlic festival.

484
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 5: This is my first time taking the one fifty three

485
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 5: or whatever it was, and I was like, ooh, garlic

486
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 5: ice cream.

487
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: You see a little stop, little gift shop right near

488
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: the highway there, Yeah, it's beautiful.

489
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

490
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: Eloi from Compton said the Olympic medals will no longer

491
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: be purchased from TIMU all right, and I said no

492
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: longer made by Nike employees from late night drug tester. No,

493
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: this is pretty funny. Children, Jared Jared points out they

494
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 1: will no longer be made of precious medals. They will

495
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: be switching to chocolate coins. Eke and Rosevil, Minnesota said

496
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 1: cracker jack box medals now that'll be coming there all

497
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: right now, very good. Let's go to the phones and

498
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: the answer. By the way they rander, you have the answer.

499
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 5: I was going to guess, well, someone actually stole my

500
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 5: answer about the emails.

501
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: But my second guest.

502
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 5: Was because you know, each season has a specific curator,

503
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 5: so they're just all going to be the same, all.

504
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Gonna be the same. No, that is in great. The Olympic

505
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: officials say the medals will no longer this is great.

506
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 1: They send out a prepared statement saying they will no

507
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: longer fall apart. Can you imagine? Can you imagine being

508
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: that incompetent that you have to send out a statement

509
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: to announce that you will no long the medals will

510
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: no longer be falling apart. You've spent your entire childhood

511
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: trying to become an Olympic athlete, and the medal has

512
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: been falling by but this time it's going to be different.

513
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 5: Well did you hear about the design this year? Because

514
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 5: they're half like glass through and then half like snowy,

515
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 5: So they tried to make them all pretty, but the

516
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 5: part that sticks out isn't connecting to where it connects,

517
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 5: so they're breaking.

518
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: I watched like five minutes of an Olympic hockey game.

519
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: And that's all I've I really haven't. It's on here,

520
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: it's on you guys have it on the Is that live?

521
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: Is it something? Is it live? Really a celebrating there,

522
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: So he's happy. I think because of timing reasons, I

523
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: think we should get right to the game show right,

524
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: what do you say here? Why not? Here we go

525
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: hit that button, Ben Meller game. We've endored too many

526
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: of these, hasy too much or not enough enough already.

527
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: The chance is that this guy is awake or slim

528
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: and none, and Slim has just left town and has

529
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: across the border. Let's say hello to hollering James. Hello,

532
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: So is that your thirty seventh pill?

533
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: So no, it's thirty six plus one, it's thirty seven.

534
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: That's what I said.

535
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 5: That's what he said, said that Ben's very good at mass.

536
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: Not really too much. I'm gonna go.

00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: you that. They don't call him listening James, so they

546
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: call him hollering James or snoring James, the man of

547
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: many nicknames. James, you your fan favorite. People get upset

548
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: now when you you're awake. All right, let's play the game.

549
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: Here we go, James, you gotta get free rate. You

550
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,120

551
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: hollering James went next level. That's when the legend you

552
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: became a superstar caller by sleeping. I would should be Floyd.

553
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: It's a dated reference. All right, here we go now

554
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: I question number one, number one. All the answers are

555
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: too much or not enough? You gotta get three right

556
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: to win the game. Question one. Since seating began back

557
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five, number one seed has won the

558
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty times. Is that too much or not enough?

559
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 2: Not enough?

560
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: And that is correct? I believe it not twenty seven times?

561
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: Now as Seattle the latest team to do it. James,

562
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: you are off to a one to oh star. Question

563
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: number two for hollering James. Drake May is the ten

564
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: quarterback to debut in the Super Bowl era and win

565
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: each of his first three career playoff starts. Is that

566
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: too much or not enough? Too much? All rightlet's find

567
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 1: out here that's wrong? Not enough. He is the fourteenth

568
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: quarterback to do it, But he is the only one

569
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: to complete less than sixty percent of his passes in

570
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: all three starts and turn the ball over seven times

571
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: via fumble. Question number three for hollering James, Only that's right.

572
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: Only nine players. Only nine players in NBA history average

573
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: three or more steels made per game, three or more

574
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: steels per game? Is that too much or not enough?

575
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: Too much? That is correct? There are only seven. Two

576
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: of them are on the Charlotte Hornets, LaMelo Ball and

Speaker 1: All right? All right, Kenneth Walker, let's you think what

585
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: are the chances that hollering James knows who Kenneth Walker

00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty or more yards in a Super Bowl?

592
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough for the win? James? Sure?

593
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 1: You want to go with that, James? You want to
