Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: All right, so our lead this. I had plenty of

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: opportunity to go several different directions, and I did watch

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: a good amount of what happened here. Saw the Bam

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: out of Bio, the most bogus eighty point game in

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 1: the history pro basketball.

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 3: My god, oh my god.

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: And I really thought about doing that, but that would

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: reward the Miami Heat for the Shenanigans that took place

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: in that game, as if they had a real commission

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: with balls, that there would be some.

20
00:00:58,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Kind of mark on that. It was ridiculous.

21
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: It was embarrassing for the NBA, but most things that

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: happen the regular season are embarrassing.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: We'll talk about that later.

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: Also, Aaron Judge playing like it's the World Series for

25
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: Team USAI who goofed I've got to know. But we

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: begin with this our lead story from Lost Wages, Nevada,

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: which is also Lost Trades Nevada.

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the story.

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I think this is by far the biggest football story,

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: the biggest football story. The second day of What I

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: Love is the legal tampering period for the NFL. The

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: Silver and Black continue to be in the headlines. I

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: know our buddy Purrito's were upset and a lot of

34
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the Raiders who their fan base, I will say this

35
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: for their their fan base has more passion than the

36
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: team does. A It's almost like they still think they're good,

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: which is hilarious to me. They blow they're the Browns

38
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: of the Jets. They just have a different logo. So

39
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: yet again a stunter from Sin City.

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: And man alive. This is why. So if you didn't hear,

41
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: I assume you've heard by now. You never know.

42
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't pay attention. Perhaps you've been off the

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: grid and you've been away from all forms of media.

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: So the Raiders, who a couple days ago it was

45
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: announced with much fanfare, with much fanfare, had said bye

46
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: bye to Max Crosby. They sent his ass out of

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: Vegas and send him to Maryland. Well, now, psych the

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Raiders announced that the Ravens had backed out of the

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: agreement to acquire Edge rusher Max Crosby. What does that mean?

50
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: That means ix nay on the trade, a no trade. Now,

51
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: this did not It is interesting to point out also

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: this did not come from the normal Jabbronis Adam Schefter

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: didn't have it, The rap Sheet didn't have it that

54
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: the NFL media. This was a story that was not leaked.

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: It was delivered by the Raiders on social media. Normally

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: these things are just given to the insiders to get

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: out there. It was just a random social media post.

58
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: One so random. There were people that truly believed that

59
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,399
Speaker 1: the Raiders account had been hacked. And so the previous

60
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: agreed deal, the deal that previously had been agreed to

61
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: where the Raiders were sending Crosby to Baltimore and then

62
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: they got some crab fries and two first round draft

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: picks in return, and that was set to become official

64
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: officially I mean kosher in under twenty four hours. And

65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: it turns out no turnout. The loads's the parties over. Yeah,

66
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: So the word is Crosby failed. The physical his representation

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: ran to the microphones or this gut social media this

68
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, it'll be good to go. I

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: was gonna this summer. Everything will be good. Everything will

70
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: be good, all right, So that is a good jumping

71
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question the Ravens pulling

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: out of the Max Crosby trade with the Raiders because

73
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: of what is the claim is a failed physical How

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: realistic does that report come across. That's what's being tossed

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: out there, that the Ravens said. No, no, bad knee.

76
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: It's a bad knee for Max Crosby. So my views

77
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: on this, I've got house band, champagne, and PlayStation and

78
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: we'll throw all of these together and we're going to

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: drop a brand new album and whether you like it

80
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: or not, we're just gonna have a bunch of bots

81
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: download the album. Isn't that what all the people do today?

82
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: All the kids just have bots downloaded, so it doesn't

83
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 1: matter if it's good or not. You just have artificially

84
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: fake downloads, all right. Anyway, first of all, this entire episode,

85
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: if you are on the side, well, the Ravens are

86
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: in the right. Another, I believe the Ravens doctors. I

87
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: have bad news. This is a stupid test and you've

88
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: just failed. Sorry, not sorry, Okay, you are gullible. Just

89
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: how gullible are you if you believe this is an

90
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: accurate story that's being fed to us that the Ravens

91
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: physical was the reason that Max Crosby's trade was declined.

92
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: This is one of the oldest open secrets in the

93
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: NFL and all of sports. Even when I was a

94
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: little kid, and I'm so old, I was around before

95
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: the Internet. But even then, when I was growing up,

96
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: I knew about this the past. The physical dance is

97
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: political as much as anything. It's not really medicine. It's

98
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: not medicine, it's political. Let me explain for those of

99
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: you a little slow in the back of the room here.

100
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: The team doctor, whether you work for the Ravens or

101
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots or the Vikings, whoever, the team doctor is

102
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: all right. They work for the team. They don't work

103
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: for the Mayo Clinic. They're more like the house band.

104
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: They're the house band, whether it's on a boat or

105
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: a casino, they're the house band, and they play whatever

106
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: they are told to play. That's how it works. And

107
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: if the GM wants Max Crosby. If the ownership in

108
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore says we want Max Crosby, what happens then the

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: story is, well, listen, the doctor gave him a physical.

110
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: He's got some minor wear and tear. It's perfectly normal.

111
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: The guy's played a lot of snaps in the NFL,

112
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: Max Crosby, And it makes sense if you suddenly don't

113
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: want the player because you've had a change of heart,

114
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: because you realize that wasn't such a great.

115
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 3: Trade for you for whatever reason.

116
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: If you believe that, then the knee, the structural instability.

117
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: We just can't make the trade. We just can't. We

118
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: just cannot do it. Should the doctor push back again?

119
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 1: The house band, the doctor pushback. The Ravens would then

120
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: fly to Chicago. They visit lou mal Naddi's. They get

121
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: a deep Dish pie and then have lunch with Doc Mike,

122
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: who will then sign off on it. Our caller, Doc

123
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: Mike from Chicago. Right. They'll say, yeah, no problem, ergo uh.

124
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: The Ravens change their mind. They say, well, we don't

125
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: want to give up that many draft picks. That's not

126
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: what the Ravens do. First round draft picks like that,

127
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: that's out of our culture. So we we have a

128
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: chance here because the trade hasn't been sent through the league.

129
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: So we're gonna bow out of it, and we're gonna

130
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: use the physical as a fall guy.

131
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 3: Everyone's got to have a fall guy, all right.

132
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: So secondly, keeping the rhythm of this hour, going the

133
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: hour of Max Crosby. So Max Crosby goes back to

134
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: Vegas for now and Baltimore does the old mutambo. They

135
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: reject Max Crosby. So which part of this story the

136
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: most uncomfortable, Because there's a lot of uncomfortable things about

137
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: this There's a lot of things that are very odd.

138
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: There's oddities to this story, which makes it so good,

139
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: just great. So the Raiders, I'm gonna start with them.

140
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: They tried prematurely. We have pills. If you've got premature issues,

141
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: listen to the Overnight Show. But the Raiders tried to

142
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: celebrate prematurely. Now the breakup, the divorce papers had not

143
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: yet been signed, but they were already having a party

144
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: to celebrate the divorce. And all that's classic mistake. You

145
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: never pop the champagne, ever, don't pop the champagne until

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: the paperwork clears the League office. You don't measure the

147
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: drapes before you win the election. Okay, so bad job

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: by them, the Raiders. And then they did this just

149
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: ridiculous victory lap. Because the Raiders don't win during the

150
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: regular season, they suck. They're the Jets of the Browns.

151
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: So when they make a move a transaction in the

152
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: off season, they celebrate like they're good at something. Say hey,

153
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 1: we blow, but we're good at this. Of course, anybody

154
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: can say they want a transaction because you won't know

155
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: for months and months and month. They don't play till September.

156
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 1: We're sitting in March. They don't play till September. So

157
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders go around. It's like, look at us, man,

158
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: let me, let me get like peacocks with their feathers

159
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: in the air everywhere. The Raiders, we got two first

160
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: round picks. We so excited, high fiving, chest pumping. Tom

161
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: Brady probably in the back polishing the Lombardi right there.

162
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: Of course he has one one with the Raiders, twirling

163
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 1: his mustache like every cartoon villain. Tom Brady there, we're genius,

164
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: says Oops of Daisy, Oops of Daisy. Tom failed physical

165
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: and the trade is D E A D with Baltimore.

166
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: So Crosby boomerangs back, and since this is the portion

167
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: where we talk about the shame, so Crosby goes back

168
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: on the old boomerang. He bounces back to the Raiders

169
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: and kind of like bad calls on this show that

170
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: just keep coming back every day, whether you want them

171
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: or not, they just pop up. And I'm not I'm

172
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: not naming it Lrae. I'm not gonna name Michael Leprekron.

173
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it.

174
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 3: I'm not.

175
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: I didn't say no, I'm not going hollering James. I'm

176
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: not saying that name it. No, definitely not, definitely not no.

177
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: But here's the point. So the Raiders get the player back,

178
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: which you'd say, well, this guy was boring to be

179
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: a Raider, this is great and all that stuff.

180
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: It's wonderful.

181
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 4: Uh.

182
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 1: The plan would be just to flip cross begin They're

183
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: ready to spend a bunch of money on some marginal

184
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: players in free agency, and now they lost the two

185
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: first round picks they were all excited about and all

186
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: the all jazzed up for and they've lost. I don't

187
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: really care about the salary cap flexibility. Some people are

188
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: worked up into a ladder about that. I don't really

189
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: worry about that. The leverage part of it is where

190
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: they're screwed, because now the teams that were interested in

191
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: Max s rawsby a number of them have filled the void,

192
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: and those that haven't filled the void, well, we don't

193
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: have to pay that much. You guys are screwed. You

194
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: got to work with us now, all right? And then

195
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: how about Crosby, the most awkward of them all, Max Crosby.

196
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: This dude posted a thirteen minute could buy video to

197
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: the Raiders thirteen minute heartfelt message to Raider Nation Max Crosby,

198
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: ik umba, My god, it's like quitting your job, giving

199
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: a very dramatic speech about how your bosses suck and

200
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: the morale at work is terrible, and nobody ever gets

201
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: raises here and people are very upset. And then hr

202
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: walks in and says, oh, by the way, you know,

203
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: actually that answer a thing didn't go through, So you got.

204
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: To come back to work tomorrow. What say what?

205
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: Now?

206
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: The Raiders still have time to make this okay? For now,

207
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: it's the walk of shame. The walk of shame, you

208
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: know what it's like? Late night booty call there three

209
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: in the morning walking out, and a couple of people

210
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: for some reason awake. They look at you like, what

211
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: are you doing? You know what you're doing? All disheveled

212
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So everyone knows that Crosby wanted out,

213
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: He wanted people the Raiders. He didn't like Alice Guerrero

214
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: or Tom Brady thinks he's a phony, and Brady does

215
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: appear to be a phony as an executive. So Crosby

216
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: wanted out, and so fine, and now he's got to again.

217
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: For now he's got to go back and pretend, pretend

218
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: that the breakup thing didn't happen, all that stuff. So

219
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: all right, now, final thought on this flipping forward. So

220
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: question here is where does this Max Crosby story.

221
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 3: Go next with the Raiders.

222
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: So on this one you should pull up a chair

223
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and get some popcorn, cause this is good. This is

224
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: where it becomes a late night infomercial. But wait, there's more.

225
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: But wait, there's what are you talking about?

226
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: What?

227
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 3: Wait, there's more? What are you yapping about? Yeah?

228
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, so the think about like this, the PlayStation you're playing,

229
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: you're doing your thing, You're like Kyler Murray whatever, you're

230
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: playing games. And then he's my favorite gamer Kyler Murray

231
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: little guy. So the PlayStation gets turned off and nothing

232
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: got saved. The memory card is toasted, and so the

233
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: Raiders have to start the game from the beginning level.

234
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: They go back to the start this is my nightmare

235
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: and the Ravens they hit the big red failed physical box.

236
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: What's in the box? Hit that?

237
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: And so suddenly the whole deal goes poof like a

238
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: magician and Congress adulations to Max Crosby. Here he won

239
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: the shammy whammy, So congratulations on that.

240
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 3: You get the shammy whammy.

241
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: And now the Raiders are back to where they start,

242
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: as we said, and that's the interesting story here is

243
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: they're wandering through the flea market of the NFL here

244
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: and like, okay, this is the NFL's trade bazaar, and

245
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: they're holding Crosby up like a slightly dented antique lamp

246
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: and they got this lamp. It's classic. It might be

247
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: worth a lot of money, however, we don't know. And

248
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: antiques road show is what it is.

249
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: And it works great.

250
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: A little wear and tear, no problem, no problem, use

251
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: a little bit pre owned. So there's the catch. Now

252
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: entering the conversation here, Baltimore very publicly red tagged. Max

253
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: Crosby is damaged at a garage sale, So true or not,

254
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: that label is going to follow Crosby around. So now

255
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the puppets underneath Tom Brady, who do

256
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: nothing but just follow the instructions of Tom Brady in

257
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: the raiderfront office, they now have to adjust the price.

258
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: The market has spoken. They have to adjust the price.

259
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: The dancing shoes are on. The dancing shoes are on there,

260
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: and they're doing the limbo. Dude, the limbo? How low

261
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: can you go?

262
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 3: You look around?

263
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: You got buffalo out there, New England, Chicago, Dallas is

264
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: lurking around there. They're all circling like bargain hunters on

265
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: a Monday morning when the new supplies come in at

266
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: the Amazon liquidation store and they're trying to find some

267
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: good stuff there that's in the box. And Crosby's still

268
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: a star. Just now he's on the not the full

269
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: discount rack, but a lot less than he was the

270
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: other day. So slightly scratched box now for Max Crosby,

271
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: and the Raiders are hoping someone still wants to purchase

272
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: the Max Crosby package. Is the Bane Mahlor show If

273
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: you would like to be part, you can join us

274
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: right now. We'll talk about that, or if you want

275
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: to discuss one of the most ridiculous accomplishments in NBA history,

276
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: one of the most choreographed moments I've ever seen. Oh

277
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: my god, this Bam out of Bio performance. There should

278
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: be a lot of people embarrassed. They don't seem embarrassed.

279
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why they're not embarrassed, but I think

280
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: you should be. That's kind of spinning a loogie at

281
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain and so many others in

282
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: NBA history what Bam out of Bio did. But I

283
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: guess they have no shame in that game anymore. It's

284
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: the modern NBA. Back in the old days, if you

285
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: had a twenty five point lead and you left your

286
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: star in the game to try to set some kind

287
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: of record, what would happen is some goon would come

288
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: over and just lay the lumber on top of that

289
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: guy and he would be out for the next month.

290
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: But that's not how he work. Everyone's lovey dovey in

291
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: the NBA, so they don't operate like that. And also,

292
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: Team USA losing to the Italians it's up with that

293
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: as Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper proving they're still chokar

294
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: to some big games. If you want to call these

295
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: big games, which baseball does, and they did not get

296
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: or done.

Speaker 3: So a lot going on.

319
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: We talked earlier about Max Crosby as he is back

320
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: to the Raiders. A lot of people very upset in

321
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, and it's telling the NFL general managers many

322
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: of them appear to be upset because they know what

323
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens are.

324
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: Doing is dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty dirty.

325
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: So we'll talk more about that later on, but our

326
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: lead this hour is from pro bouncy Ball. Now, you know,

327
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 1: if you listen to this show on a regular basis,

328
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: for us to talk about pro bouncy Ball in the

329
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: month of March, something like really crazy has to happen,

330
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: something really really crazy has to be taking place there,

331
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: some kind of accomplishment.

332
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 3: Well that happened.

333
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: There was an historic performance. And I assume you've been

334
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: paying attention here and you know what we're talking about.

335
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: But there's a chance that maybe you missed it somehow,

336
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: you were not paying attention. Maybe're watching the World Baseball Classic,

337
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: the Italians taking down Team the end the World Baseball Classic,

338
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: not eliminated, but embarrassing. Not eliminated, but embarrassing for Team USA.

339
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: And so with that being said, the story get to

340
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the point.

341
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 3: Please.

342
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: So the story is Bam bam at a Baio who

343
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: bam out of Bio? The Miami Heat big man, just

344
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: your generic NBA big man scored.

345
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: Let's see, how many points do you score? Fifty points?

346
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: No, fifty five points, double nickels? No, how about sixty?

347
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: Do I hear sixty? How about sixty five?

348
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: Do I hear seventy seventy from the woman to the bat?

349
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: No?

350
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: Do I hear seventy five seventy five from the fat

351
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: guy with a cigar? No?

352
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 3: Eighty three points?

353
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: Bam bam eighty three points against the Wizards, which I'm

354
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: told is an NBA team, but not really. I'm told

355
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: an NBA team, but not really. That is the second

356
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: most points in NBA history. Let me repeat that last

357
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: part because it seems somewhat interesting. That is the second

358
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: most eighty three points. There's only been one person that

359
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: scored more points in an NBA game, the goat the

360
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: greatest of them all, Wilt Chamberlain. And now Bam out

361
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: of Bio. So The story here is he passed Kobe

362
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: Bryant twenty years ago. A little over twenty years Kobe

363
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Bryant had eighty one points against the Toronto Raptors on

364
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: a Sunday night at the arena then called Staple Center,

365
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: a ragtag Laker team, which I believe, we're down by

366
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: double digits at halftime against Toronto, and they won that game,

367
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: and Kobe Bryant ended up with the eighty one point performance.

368
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: And so now Bam out of Baio has passed Kobe

369
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: and not the all time record. Wilt Chamberlain still has

370
00:20:55,800 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: the all time record. Considering the reputation or lack thereof,

371
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: of Bam out of Bayo. He's had how many games

372
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: is here with less than ten points?

373
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: Seven?

374
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: Because had seven games where he scored less than ten points,

375
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: and now he goes out and puts up an.

376
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 3: Eighty eighty three point game.

377
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but considering that and also the opponent here and

378
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: how all of this went down. As much as I

379
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: would love to sit here behind the bully pulpit in

380
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: the Benny bright Side and just sing sweet little byes

381
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: about how amazing Bam out of Bayo was, the problem,

382
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 1: I watched the game. If I hadn't watched the game

383
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: and I just you know, watching the score and looking

384
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: at the box score.

385
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 3: So oh wow wee oh man.

386
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: Wowe kauz Awi, that's so exciting. But I watched the game.

387
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: That's the problem.

388
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: And so.

389
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are like, well, this

390
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: is not a great accomplishment. How how could this not

391
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: be a great accomplishtion? You don't know, ball eighty three points?

392
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to diminish the the performance.

393
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: So that's a good jumping off point.

394
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question for the class as we discuss.

395
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 3: This, what is the word?

396
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: What is the word for Miami Heat center Bam out

397
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: of bio scoring eighty three points the second most in

398
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: NBA regular season history or playoff history, the way that

399
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: he did it for the Heat.

400
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: Now, what's the word?

401
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got skid row, sleeper cell, and

402
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: checking account, and we will combine all of these things

403
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make the reading rainbow

404
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: is what we're all right? So number wa, number wa. Yeah,

405
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: So my word is deplorable with a capital D deploy

406
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: as in an absolute jumbo sized basket of deplorables. The

407
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: whole entire thing smells l Stinko is the phrase.

408
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: That I will use the Miami Heat.

409
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: And again, this is something like if you're not a

410
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: knowledgeable fan, you don't watch ball, you don't understand.

411
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: I get it.

412
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: You're like all excited. You know, you got your face

413
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: paint your Miami Heat onesie, You're all excited. But we

414
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: watched the game and that's problematic. So the Heat were

415
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: up I think it was twenty five or twenty six

416
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: points or something like that, and the Miami Heat were

417
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: intentionally fouling the Washington Wizards players on the inbounds just

418
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: so Bam out of Bio would have more opportunities to

419
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: get the ball. I'm not making this. They want to

420
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: have more possessions. So the Miami Heat, who were up

421
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: by twenty six, we're doing hack not hack a Shack

422
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: because he's long gone, but hack a Wizard, Hack a Wizard.

423
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: It's like something from Harry Potter. That's what they were doing,

424
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: and that I'm supposed to sit here and celebrate that.

425
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: The Miami Heat up twenty six, are trying to elongate

426
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: the game so Bam out of Buyout can get a

427
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: record my fat ass. They also missed foul shots intentionally.

428
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: They intend Miami heat intentionally missed foul shots. So again

429
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: more opportunities missing foul shots on purpose. It wasn't basketball,

430
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: It was the dumbing down, the dumbing down of the

431
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: NBA record book. You want a fun fact on dumbing down,

432
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 1: I got a fun fact for you.

433
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: On fun fact.

434
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Didn't you know the term dumbing down came from Hollywood

435
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: when they were making movies and if things were too complex,

436
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: the studio executives would say dumb it down for the

437
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: people that bought tickets, because they thought their customers were idiots,

438
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: and so they had to make everything elementary. So the

439
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: term dumbing down is a movie term from early hollyw

440
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: hooray for Hollywood.

441
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 3: All right, anyway, look that up, Coop. I think I'm

442
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 3: running there. I think I'm righting the so.

443
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: No, but you got the Wizards here, the Wizards, who

444
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: are one of the many tanking tumbleweeds of the NBA,

445
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: just kind of floating like a tumbleweed down the country road,

446
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: just floating along, not trying to win, not trying to win.

447
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: They want lottery balls. Right, everyone knows what's going on.

448
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: There's about thirteen teams a Baker's dozen that are not

449
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: trying to win in the NBA, and they roll out

450
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: of lineup the Wizards that look like a collection of

451
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: middle aged leftovers from a late Saturday at the YMCA.

452
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: That's the Washington Wizards right there, and we are told

453
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: there I say this in the air, quotes their coach,

454
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: somebody named Brian Keith. He's standing there on the sidelines

455
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: with this aw shucks look on his I don't know

456
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: what will only do it? Come on on the Wizards.

457
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: Now they're couple ble as well. They did not attempt

458
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 1: to double team Bam out of Bayo until midway through

459
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He had over forty points at halftime.

460
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: They didn't say, well, maybe we should adjust here because

461
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: they weren't trying.

462
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 3: To win the game. Hello.

463
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 6: Yeah.

464
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: And then it was so comical. They were doing three

465
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: against one, So you had three guys guarding Bam out

466
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: of Bayo, and then you had the two other guys

467
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: on the Wizards who were just kind of dancing around.

468
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: I guess that's the The three and two zone was

469
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: not even his own. It's like three on one, and

470
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: then just two other people futzing around and all that stuff.

471
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, while all of this is going on.

472
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: In the fourth court of the game's long over, the

473
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: Wizards aren't even trying to win the game. They're conceding

474
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: the game. And then you have bam out of Bio

475
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: being force fed the ball like he's Joey Chestnut at

476
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the fourth of July hot dog eating contest, the Glizzy

477
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: Globber just going for it. They're just trying to attack

478
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: as much as he can, shoveling it in forty three

479
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 1: forty three attempts at the foul line. Forty three. That

480
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: is not just a record. That is a trip to

481
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: skid row for the NBA. And when I say skid row,

482
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: I'm talking about our favorite truck driver, truck stop Fungus,

483
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: who is wearing his tidy whities. But this is a

484
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: skid mark, is what this is on the NBA. Does

485
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: anyone disagree? Do I see no one raising their hand?

486
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: This is a skid mark on the NBA. What bam

487
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: Adebayo did. It's embarrassing. It's absolutely embarrassing. Is it memorable?

488
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah? Is it historic? No, it is not historic. It's synthetic.

489
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of like going and walking around in Ikea,

490
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: and you know they got all displays. They've got the

491
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: sofa display section, they got the office section, they've got

492
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: the kitchen section. Like going into the kitchen section while

493
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: you're walking around Ikea and grabbing one of those plastic

494
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: apples and saying, Okay, that's my meal, that's dinner.

495
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 3: No, it's not. That's not it's not real. It's not real.

496
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 3: But wait, there's more.

497
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: Now have you heard as we turned the pager, have

498
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: you heard the conspiracy that is going on with this

499
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio?

500
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 3: So you have not okay, good?

501
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: So there is a conspiracy theory that what led to

502
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: Bam out of Bayo having an eighty three point performance

503
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat the greatest modern performance Wilt Chamberlain

504
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: of course, million years ago and back back in the day,

505
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: but that defected in the history of basketball, Bam out

506
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: of Bio. His performance here and what he was able

507
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: to do, and how little he had done up until

508
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: this point. Six averaging sixteen points a game, I believe,

509
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: was the number in the history of the NBA, in

510
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: the entire history of league. Somebody with that kind of

511
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: stat line had never even scored sixty in an NBA

512
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: game and Bam goes out there and scores eighty. So

513
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: let's get to the conspiracy. Three eighty three was his number.

514
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: So question, is it true that Heat coach Eric Spolstra

515
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: coach Spo Heat coach Eric Spolstra orchestrated orchestrated Bam out

516
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: of bios historic performance as payback to a franchise legend

517
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: developing hot dot dot dot. So now I'm gonna wear

518
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: my tinfoil hat. Just imagine I've got a tinfoil hat

519
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna slide that down here.

520
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: Nice hat, Thank you.

521
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: So both Eric Spolstra and Bam out of Bio in

522
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: their postgame reference comments made by Flash now not the

523
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: actual superhero Flash no, no, no, no.

524
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: The basketball version.

525
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: The guy that has a statue that looks nothing like

526
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: him outside the arena in Miami. That guy, yeah, the

527
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: forefather of the glory days.

528
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 3: Of the Miami Heat. Dwayne Wade. Uh, Dwayne Wade.

529
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: So, Dwayne Wade did some interview on a podcast for

530
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: friends and family recently, and Wade said that he had

531
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: visited Miami.

532
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: I paraphrasing this, but he had visited Miami. The Heat were.

533
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Missing a star player. He said who could bring a

534
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: certain quote buzz to the city, And he implied that

535
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: Miami just wasn't buying into the Miami Heat because they

536
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: did not have that star that got people excited. That

537
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: things were a little sleepy when it came to the Heat.

538
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, Dwayne Wade is not wrong. He's

539
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: not wrong. Tyler Hero and bam out of Baio do

540
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: not move the needle.

541
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: They don't. They don't move the needle.

542
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: So Miami's a middling team. They're a middling team the

543
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: Eastern conf It's just not very good. They're a jat jat,

544
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: just a team that's the Miami Heat. Nevertheless, the conspiracy

545
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: is that that commentary was so upsetting the coach, Spoe

546
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: and to bam out of Bayo as their former teammate,

547
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: and then in case of obviously Spolster was the coach

548
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: and bam Adebayo and and Wade know each other very

549
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: well and all that so so that they were upset

550
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: and these comments were kind of a big deal in

551
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 1: that world.

552
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 3: We're not in that world, but that was a big deal.

553
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: So that was a CTA situation, a call to action situation,

554
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: activating the sleeper cell and the result was what happened

555
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: in the game on Tuesday night.

556
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: That's it. So I buy that.

557
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I buy that Eric Spolstra and bam Adebayo were opportunists.

558
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: They were opportunitists.

559
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: They didn't know going into the game that this opportunity

560
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: would present themselves. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go

561
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: that far to say that this was rigged from the

562
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: league office. However, all right, they took advantage of the

563
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: tomato cans from DC. They should really change the Wizards

564
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: should change their name and contact the Harlem Globe Trotters

565
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: and see if they can get that Washington general's name.

566
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: That's really what they need, living up to the legacy

567
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: of Washington basketball. Yeah, why not? The Heat in this game?

568
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: They never trailed. They never trailed in this game. The

569
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: game was over from jump Street, and despite holding a

570
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: commanding lead to twenty five to twenty six points something

571
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 1: like that in the fourth quarter, the Heat did not

572
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: pull bam out of Bio until very late in the

573
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, very very late in the fourth quarter, allowing

574
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: him to get the most bogus stat line you've ever

575
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 1: seen in the history of the NBA. There the second

576
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 1: highest single game point total in the history of the association.

577
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: And it's all because d Wade said there's no buzz

578
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: and the star players don't really do anything for the

579
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: people who are sports fans in Miami, and Wade takes

580
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: a shot at them, and all of a sudden, this happens.

581
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: And let me ask you a question, is that heat culture?

582
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: Is that the Heat culture? Like, what are we doing here?

583
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: Seriously?

584
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: So where the bell coach Spo and bam Otebayo? The

585
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: shame Bell shame, shame, shame. Yeah, now the heat culture.

586
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: If that's heat culture, they have sunk to a new low.

587
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: If that's the Miami Heat. And of course I know

588
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: the way this works. And over time, the low information

589
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: fan doesn't remember the nuance. They only remember the outcome, right,

590
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: and they'll see the eighty three point game. They'll fail

591
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: to mention the fact that there's some context involved in this,

592
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: and it always gets lost over time. And I know

593
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: we talked a lot over the years about the greatest

594
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: scandal in my lifetime, the cheating as one two holes,

595
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: and I'll bring that up and people.

596
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 3: Say, why are you still talking about that? They won

597
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 3: the world seriously, just let it go and all that.

598
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: Because people can't handle nuance because they're morons, they're dumb dums, they.

599
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: Can't handle it.

600
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: So I understand those details will vanish over time, that

601
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio, the ridiculousness of this will vanish,

602
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: and only certain people will remember what we all know

603
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 1: in the moment and things, certain things get stored away

604
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: and other things go away and they don't make it

605
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: to that lasting memory. All right now, Final point to

606
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: the Zebras question, what should the NBA do about the

607
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: officiating crew of Ben Taylor, Pat Frere and d Drick

608
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 1: Taylor after the Bam out of Bio eighty three point

609
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: conga line to the charity stripe. It was a free

610
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: throw jamboree is what it was in this game and

611
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: NBA record for attempts, NBA record for make foul shots

612
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: in this game. So my answer on what the NBA

613
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: should do with these guys is simple. You send Ben

614
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: Taylor Pat Prayer I believe that's his name, and Didrich

615
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: Taylor send those guys a box of chocolates and a

616
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: rule book an NBA rule book old school, not on

617
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 1: a tablet, an actual rule book, preferably the one they

618
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: ignored the one they ignored in this game. Fouls are

619
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: judgment calls. You are never supposed to call every foul.

620
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: You have to be able to let the game breathe.

621
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: You don't call everything. You have to swallow a whistle

622
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 1: at times. That's a grown up a referee. These guys

623
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of amateurs, A bunch of amateurs. Right, These Schmendricks,

624
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: the three horsemen of the NBA statistical apocalypse, out there

625
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: galloping through the game with whistles blazing. Right, It's like

626
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: they just discovered a new toy. Wee, let's call a fowl.

627
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: We Oh, somebody breathed on bam outa baiu foul. Oh

628
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: my god, someone's in his same sea code, call a foul.

629
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: Dumb dumbs bam Adamau didn't just get to the foul line.

630
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: He opened a checking account at merchants Bank. Even SGA

631
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: thought that was egregious. What happened to that game? Even

632
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: Shade Jogas Alexander's like, oh my god, you're a you're

633
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: a merchant.

634
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.

635
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 1: Thirty six of forty three from the foul line. That

636
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: is not a stat line, That is a membership plan.

637
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: I think costco membership is what you got. All kinds

638
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: of records were absolutely vaporized here. And yet, if you're honest,

639
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: out of bio again, he didn't do it alone. The

640
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: Washington Wizards were part of this. They're in competence. The

641
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: coach with the aw shucks body.

642
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 3: Language, I don't know what to do. And then you've got.

643
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: The referees over there that were like the lookout person

644
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: and the getaway driver. That was the referees and Washington

645
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: just any kind of if if a little bit of

646
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: sweat got on bam, that was a foul. If one

647
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: of the guys on the Wizards checked out a hot

648
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: girl in the crowd, that was a foul. The whole

649
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: thing so using malor math, and I watched the entire

650
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: second half. I didn't watch a second of the first half,

651
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: but watch the entire second half. Sixty five percent of

652
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: the foul calls were softer than a marshmallow in July

653
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: in Arizona. Okay, And so yes, the league and why

654
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: not you investigate everything else, Not that anything's gonna come

655
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: on this, but you might as well investigate it. It

656
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 1: was so bad that it made you think that something

657
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: funny was going on. Yeah.

658
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 3: I know the NBA they don't really care about credibility

659
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 3: anymore because of load management.

660
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 1: And you got coaches advocating for less games because the

661
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: players are soft and all is embarrassing.

662
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 3: But the message should be simple, stay in your lane. Now.

663
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 1: Is it possible that they just got carried carried away

664
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: in the moment? Do you think somebody from the mob

665
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: got a hold of them?

666
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,479
Speaker 3: I don't know what it was. I have no idea.

667
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: It just looks so shady that it makes you wonder.

668
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: And there have been games where people have fixed stats

669
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: and whatnot, and that's going on right now. So it's

670
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that makes you go, hmmm, wonder

671
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: what that's all about.

672
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

673
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard.

674
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 3: How about that? To the third degree? This is one

675
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: thing that gets grill cobal.

676
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Gardner Minshew on Monday, and

677
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 4: now Minshew joined Jacoby Brissett and Keaton Slovis.

678
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: What do you say?

679
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: It like that?

680
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: There's a question, Mark says the only quarterbacks on the roster. Ben,

681
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 4: do you think the Cardinals signed Minshew to be cul

682
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 4: Murray's replacement or are they still moves to be made.

683
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they don't have a replacement Brissett. And I

684
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: like Gardner Minshew, but he's made me look like an idiot.

685
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: It's fair to say the Cardinals are running low and

686
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: they're not trying to win.

687
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:54,479
Speaker 3: Coop.

688
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: This is a sign you're not trying to put a

689
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: winning team together when you have that quarterback room, buy

690
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: your Cardinals season tickets.

691
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 4: Next, Jags wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior had an outstanding

692
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 4: rookie season, but came crashing back down to earth last year.

693
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 4: It's now being reported that the Jags are listening to

694
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 4: offers for the wide receiver Ben Do you think Jacksonville

695
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 4: is giving up on him too quickly or was last

696
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 4: year more than just a sophomore slump?

697
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: All right, So the way this goes Coop, the rumors

698
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: pop off that Brian Thomas Junior is gonna be traded,

699
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: then the Jags deny it, Then the rumors pop up again,

700
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: then they deny it, and so they did deny this round.

701
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: But if someone's willing to meet the asking price, it's

702
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 1: kind of like at auction. Right, if you meet the

703
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: minimum the requirement, you get the players. So I absolutely

704
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: there's a shot he gets straighted between and now in

705
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: the draft. And I don't think it's giving up on him.

706
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: I think he's got issues next.

707
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: This is funny timing, but the other day Steve Curse

708
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 4: said over the weekend that the NBA needs to rethink

709
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 4: how the game's being officiated, as offensive players have too

710
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 4: much freedom with their off arm puts defenders in impossible positions.

711
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: Benezee right. I think they need a lot of soul

712
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: searching at the NBA coop. I think they need to

713
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment. I hope this bam out of

714
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: bio thing was the moment.

715
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 3: How did we you pass.

716
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 4: By? I won?

717
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,080

Speaker 7: Oh yeah you heard the man.

725
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 6: It sounds for love here on the Ben Mallor show,

726
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 6: and I had a topic that came up earlier this

727
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 6: week about going through your partner's phones and if it's toxic,

728
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 6: if it's a bad idea, and I just want to say, yes,

729
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 6: it is a bad idea.

730
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 3: It was on your phone. Moreno, don't even.

731
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 6: Plant it in your head that you should go through

732
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 6: their phone, because then you start like conjuring ideas and

733
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 6: then it starts manifesting, and then it just.

734
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 7: Starts itching in your brain. They go and take a shower,

735
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 7: and you're like.

736
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,320
Speaker 3: Oh, now you shouldn't. Yeah, I mean you should be spying.

737
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,560
Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. You should trust your partner.

738
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 3: But is there stuff on there that I'm not talking

739
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 3: about my phone?

740
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:27,719
Speaker 4: Yes, Coop, Yeah, you know, I don't know my wife

741
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 4: knows my phone password.

742
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 3: I know her phone password, my wife.

743
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 7: And that's fine if you have like that type of thing.

744
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 7: But I'm talking about like.

745
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 4: That type of thing, like an open, honest relationship.

746
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 1: All I have is I have some you know, people

747
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: that try to threaten to kill me. I have them

748
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: saved on my phone or whatever. But other than that,

749
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing, nothing too exciting on there.

750
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I had. I had a guy try

751
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 7: to give me his password the other day and I

752
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 7: was like, I don't need.

753
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: That really, thank you, though, Yeah.

754
00:41:53,560 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: What about his bank account? It was a very important question. Now,

755
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: this guy's a big p one. He's a senior Brigadio

756
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: general in the Malla Militia's name is fry Daddy, he says,

757
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: ben sixty five year old old dude, and he's a

758
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: big fan of the Asian women. Yes, he found himself.

759
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm down and coop shay this out. But he found

760
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: himself now with a twenty six year old Spanish girl

761
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:27,240
Speaker 1: who told her friends that, you know, this guy Friddaddy

762
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 1: was going to be her boyfriend, and apparently he says

763
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: she wasn't kidding. My question for Lorraina is what do

764
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 1: I do next year? Do I need meta glasses or viagra?

765
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, he's sixty five, this lady's twenty six.

766
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 7: That's I don't think you would need that anyways. Even

767
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 7: if she's not your type type, she sounds like she's

768
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 7: still a.

769
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 3: I don't know, no idea. She didn't describe her anything.

770
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 6: But if he's sixty five and she's twenty something, you

771
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 6: should be thankful for any well.

772
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he says, he's a little nervous. I thought it

773
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 3: was harmless at first.

774
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,360
Speaker 7: And no you're her man. Now you better take that,

775
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:07,040
