This portion of the Ben 32 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: Maler Show made possible in part by our friends at 33 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: tire Iraq.

So a lot of chatter 43 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks, really since the NBA 44 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: Finals when we had that dud of an NBA Finals 45 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: with OKC in Indiana, a bit of poison for pro basketball. 46 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: So a lot of noise about the salary cap and 47 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: it's not right. They gotta change it. It's ugly, and 48 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: they gotta do something, this hardline cap. So I was 49 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: somewhat recently contacted by someone who knows a thing or 50 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: two about the workings of the business of basketball and 51 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: very knowledgeable in that department. They know what they're talking about. 52 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: And of course they know a thing or two because 53 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: they've seen a thing or two. And this particular person, 54 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: we'll just say, has given me some good intel in 55 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: the past. Now, this person does not bat a thousand. However, 56 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: if they were a baseball player, they'd be like mister 57 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: Podre Tony Gwinn, so pretty good batting average. Get to 58 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: the point, please, all right, So let me boil this down. 59 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: So the word on the street is that despite the 60 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: public opinion that the big market team like the Celtics 61 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: and the Lakers and the Clippers and the NIXT teams 62 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: like that Warriors. Despite the the buzz that the big 63 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: market owners do not like this, they're trying to change 64 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: the salary cap because it is so aggressive towards teams 65 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: that spend a lot of money. Well, it turns out, 66 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: according to my insider, that the owners actually love the 67 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: hard cap, the hard line cap. They like the apron, 68 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: and the reason they like that is it gives them 69 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: a for something like we have an arnswer, the golden ticket. 70 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: If you will to keep calls down right, you get 71 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: a golden ticket. So let us discuss the question with 72 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: these whispers that NBA owners actually love the second apron 73 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: of the salary cap and they have no serious plans 74 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: to dramatically change it, despite speculation to the contrary. Do 75 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: you buy or sell this? You buy or sell this. 76 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: So I've got my observations on this. I've got loaded Dice, Gumbo, 77 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: and Coachella, and we will combine all of these things 78 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a brick house, 79 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: is what we're going to make. So number why, I 80 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: said number why? That's right? So I am buying this. 81 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm not selling it. I'm buying it, and I believe 82 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 1: the the fix is in, if you will. Not to 83 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: be too dramatic, but the NBA's billionaire boys club, the 84 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: owners of the NBA are grinning from ear to ear. 85 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: They have a cheshire cat smile. Uh, just can't get 86 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: enough of this. And the reason why the secret on 87 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: this is the as we talked about, the owners like 88 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: it that the cap is the built in get out 89 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: of jail free card. It's kind of like if you're 90 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: in high school and you're you know, one of your 91 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: parents is a cop, and you're getting trouble, say oh, yeah, 92 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: I might so, and so I give you a break 93 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: on this, you know. And so the oligarchs and the 94 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: aristocrats are popping champagne over the second apron chokeold right, 95 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: you talk about paying dividends and they don't get to 96 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: keep everything, but they get to keep a lot more, right, 97 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: and their wallets fatter and all that stuff. So I'd 98 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: buy this conspiracy. I would say, don't be hornswaggled by 99 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: all the rhetoric that the NBA owners toss out and 100 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: the friends of the league in the media about competitive balance. 101 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: They give these sermons about that and the brutal penalties. 102 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: And there are penalties, a loss of draft picks, no 103 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: mid level exception, things like that, and not to get 104 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: into the minutia, but the trade market is limited. But 105 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: this is all about the green but not the green team, 106 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: the green Backs, And it's not about winning, not about that. 107 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: You know what it is. It's a classic sports radio 108 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: caller to this show from about twenty years ago. A 109 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: guy named zig Zag used to call the show. One 110 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: of my regular callers. One of the great characters on 111 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 1: the show, Zigzag, and then unfortunately he grew up and 112 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 1: no longer was Zigzag. But this is a misdirection play, right. 113 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: The NBA owners are playing with loaded dice. That dice 114 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: are loaded. The robber barons set the rules, and if 115 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: you cross this magic line, I think it's like one 116 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety something million dollars or whatever, then all 117 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, there's like alarm bells that go off 118 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: and that all it. And now for some owners they 119 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: don't give a crap. Like Steve Balmer, he goes to 120 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: the bathroom his morning bowol movement and he makes enough 121 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: money to cover all of the fees and all that stuff, 122 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: and Joe lacub with the Warriors doesn't seem to care 123 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: too much. He's not really sweating, and so they've got 124 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: all the cash they could possibly want. However, for the 125 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: others if they want, if they choose to play this card, 126 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: they can dump players, avoid big signings, like, for example, 127 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics are doing that right now. And at 128 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: the same time they can cry wolf it's just unsustainable 129 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: the salaries, polaise, I say, polaise. They are pocketing massive 130 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: profits and the owners, you know, they're having a yacht 131 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 1: party and they're laughing at all the commoners. Right, they 132 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: get the private jets all that, and they've got the money. 133 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: Good for them. And we want to keep the players, 134 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: and oh yeah, we want to keep that player. But 135 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's actually more of an asset than a player. 136 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: And everyone wants to play the victim. They all play 137 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: the victim. Players want to play the victim. Owners want 138 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: to play the victim. But in terms of the owners 139 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: spoiler alert, they are the architects of this, and they've 140 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 1: done this to inflate the profit margin and also give 141 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: them plausible deniability when they get rid of a player. 142 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: Deem po All right, now pachdo to La La Land 143 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: we go a big story the last couple of weeks 144 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: in the NBA, malcontent, overrated stiff DeAndre Ayton joining the 145 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: Lakers after being fired by the Portland Trailblazers and dumped 146 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: by the Phoenix Suns. So DeAndre Ayton was recently asked 147 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: if he had heard from Lebron James or Luca Danci 148 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: and he revealed, well, let's go to the audio tape. 149 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: Here's what DeAndre had to say. Take a list. Hey DeAndre, 150 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: have you have you spoken to Lebron? Have you spoken 151 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: to Luca? 152 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: Not really yet, but I've definitely got a text from Luca. 153 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: I know how to off season go. You know, this 154 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 2: is not my first rodio. 155 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 3: People are probably busy and you know, training and even 156 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 3: times with their families. 157 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: But I'm just waiting. 158 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 2: I'm just really just trying to integrate. 159 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 3: Myself with the team and get to know everybody. 160 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: All right. That was I think that was our buddy Saddona, right, 161 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: used to work here Fox Sports Radio alumni guy. So Dona, 162 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: uh the seven to ten over there, all right? So 163 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: he said, if you didn't understand what DeAndre a and said, 164 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: he said listen, I'm still waiting on Lebron. Lucas sent 165 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: a text though, and then DeAndre made a bunch of 166 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: excuses about the off season and all that. So that's 167 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: a great jumping off point. That is a great jumping 168 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: off point. So DeAndre Ayton says he still hasn't spoken 169 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: with Lebron James, but Luca text him after his Laker 170 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: agreement there, So what do you read into this? What 171 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: are you reading this? So if you cut through the Hayes, 172 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: people in La call it Hayes, other people call it smag. 173 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: But if you cut through that, Luca the He's the 174 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: new golden boy, right, Luca's the new golden boy for 175 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: the Lakers and all that. And so he found time 176 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: to tap tap tap a text. Meanwhile, Lebron, he's so 177 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: busy in his offseason he can be bothered to send 178 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: a measly emoji. I mean, I don't know. It takes 179 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: a lot of time to grab your phone. You gotta 180 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: futs around with your phones. You gotta go to the 181 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: message thing, you gotta find the number, and then you 182 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: got to click the proper emoji to you, the smiley emoji. 183 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 1: Do you do the crying emoji, like which emoji do 184 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: you do? And then you've got to click send on it, 185 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: and that's a lot of work. That is a lot 186 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: of work for Lebron. I understand, the man's in his 187 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: forties now, he could injure a fingernail and we don't 188 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: want that. We do not want that, all right, So 189 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 1: here's the deal. That is not obviously an oversight after 190 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: several minutes of deliberation. That is a statement by Lebron James. Now, 191 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: the rumor has it that Lebron not exactly doing cartwheels 192 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: about the possibility of playing with DeAndre eight. And as 193 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: I learned years ago when I first got into the 194 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: radio world, that silent is golden, but not if you're 195 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: doing a talk show. It suggests that Lebron's not buying in. 196 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: But it's also bigger than that if you think of 197 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: it in terms of gumbo, think of it in terms 198 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: of gumbo. So the word on the street is King 199 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: James is still stewing like gumbo over the cloud, that 200 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: he still has some but not that much, and that 201 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers it's like they started dating the new girl, 202 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: the new hot girls, Luca, and he's the old woman, 203 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,079 Speaker 1: you know, and then he's like, well, I've been around 204 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: for a while, but no, no, we like Luca. Luca's hotter, 205 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: and lucas the one that's now got the keys. So 206 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: this is the theory. And so Lebron's like, ah, this 207 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: is this blows and it feels like a rental car 208 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: and the Lakers are Luca's team, and Lebron he's not 209 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,559 Speaker 1: Blind Scott or Inka Terror or blind Emmett or Stevie 210 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: Meatballs or any of the other blind listeners. So he 211 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: sees the writing on the wall and the writing is 212 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: in Slovenian, and it's like, the Lakers are so into 213 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: Luca at this moment. I wouldn't be shocked if Luca 214 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: does a podcast with somebody, the Lakers fire JJ Reddick 215 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: and hire whoever Luca gets the host of podcasts with him, 216 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: because that's what they did with JJ Reddick, right, So 217 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: file this at this point. File this as a quiet 218 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: protest against the Laker front office and the shifting in allegiances. 219 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: And Lebron he's got the pp right, He's pouting and plotting. 220 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: He's pouting and plotting at this point. Stay tuned. More 221 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: developments to come in the off season. Soap opera from 222 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 1: pro pouncy Ball. All right, now, final point. So I 223 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: got a bunch of emails, I say a bunch, I 224 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: got three emails. You're going to start to show with 225 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: that game in Vegas. I know you are. No. No. 226 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: In fact, I didn't even want to talk about this, 227 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: but I will address it, and I will address the 228 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: question of why we did not begin this extra spicy 229 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: Mallard monologue with the let me check my notes here 230 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: Summer League matchup between Cooper Flag of the mav Recks 231 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: and Bronnie James the Nefo Baby. So why did we 232 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: not begin the night with that? So the reason we 233 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: did not my belief. And I've been to the Summer League. 234 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: It used to be in LA I was in Irvine 235 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: at one Plains, a long beach. So I've been to 236 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: the Summer League in years past, many years ago. The 237 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: NBA Summer League is the equivalent of trying to pass 238 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 1: off a night like a Friday night karaoke as going 239 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 1: to Coachella. Well it's the same thing, you know, it's 240 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: the same, and they're just doing lip syncing. But it's 241 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: the say, you know, you're drinking beer. It's cheaper there's 242 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: no dirt. It's like going to Coachella. I mean, come on, 243 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: and we're talking about in the summer league. The dudes 244 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: who won't Most of them won't make the rotation, most 245 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: will never sniff any meaningful minutes in the NBA. Half 246 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: of them won't even make an NBA roster. Maybe they'll 247 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: play in Europe, or they'll be selling real estate before 248 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: the next NBA season. It's amateur out. You know where 249 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: the megastars are in the NBA. They're either golfing in 250 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: Lake Tahoe or they're getting suntan lotion on and they're 251 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: eating appetizers and drinking cocktails on megayachts in the South 252 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: of France. And now other people, well, it's player development, Ben, 253 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: You just don't get it. And to that, I say, 254 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: it's nonsense. Right, if we wanted to watch the developmental project, 255 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: then would they sell tickets to go to like a 256 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: middle school science fair or something like that. And you 257 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: if you watch it, if you watch it, enjoy it, fine, 258 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: do whatever you gotta do. I just don't believe it's 259 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 1: worthy of breaking it down a full fledged Mallard monologue 260 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: on the bully pulpit that we have here and we 261 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: don't even talk I was thinking about this earlier. We 262 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: don't even talk about the NBA regular season games until 263 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: it used to be Christmas. We used to always kid, wow, 264 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: don't we don't talk basketball till Christmas? Like the games 265 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: because nobody pays attention. But now we've moved all the 266 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: way past, all the way past New Year's We're now 267 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: about Valentine's Day. It's like the Valentine's Day massacres, Like, well, 268 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk about it Valentine's Day. And why is that? Well, 269 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: load management and these games are glorified cardio games before that, 270 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: So we're not going to talk about regular season, regular 271 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: season NBA games, Then why would we talk about a 272 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 1: knockoff version. It's like back in the old days, you'd 273 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: come across, if you're of a certain age, you know 274 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: what I'm about to say here, you'd come across a 275 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: bootleg DV that you'd find in a parking lot at 276 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: a quickie mart. You know, he said, Okay, if you 277 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: want me to break down something in Vegas, I would 278 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 1: much rather talk about the fact that Penn and Teller 279 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: are able to sell sell tickets and make illusions in 280 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: their seventies. They have a stage show in Vage. How 281 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: about Caratap who has continued to sell tickets doing prop 282 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,399 Speaker 1: comedy and has his own Vegas residencies, had it for 283 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 1: years right, So to recap, we do not do full 284 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: malle monologues on the Vegas Summer League because we respect 285 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: your time and the value and the power the almighty 286 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: microphones of FSR.

Milkman Mike in Colorado, He 357 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: writes in with his hands around some utters, he says, 358 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: great openly monologue, gave four out of five teats. He says, 359 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: as we tread through the molasses time of the year 360 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: in sports, with so much mediocrity at the mall man, 361 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: most of us will end up snoring like hollering James, Yeah, 362 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 1: the great hollering James. Imagine having the ability his superpower 363 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: is to snore. Spocks Weed. Spocks Weed writes in on 364 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: the Oregon Trail, he says, so, Ben put forth the 365 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: premise that Steve Balmer earns one hundred and ninety million 366 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: dollars in the time he takes to have a morning 367 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: bowel movement. Inquiring minds would like to know how long 368 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: he spends on the toilet? Is it five or fifteen minutes? 369 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: Any further information, then, well, Steve's kind of a large fellow. 370 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: He's a chunky fellow. It seems like he eats a 371 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: lot of good food, Steve Balmer, And I'm guessing he's 372 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: got gold plated heated toilets, with those heated toilet seats 373 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: made out of solid gold, and then probably got to do. 374 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: I think he's got the squirt what's that thing? That 375 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: squirt squirt thing day the day? I bet you he's 376 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: a day guy. Yeah, hey, I'm on team today. But 377 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: the day is a good way to go. It's very effeminine. 378 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: But I like the bday. 379 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 2: It's feminine to be clean, Ben. 380 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: It is. It is feminine. Men like to be dirty, 381 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: But I like the I admit it. 382 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 2: Have you used it? 383 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: But yes, I actually have it here. I did not 384 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: buy it. 385 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 2: The but you have one in the malor mansion. 386 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: Well, the wife decided that was an important investment. I 387 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: pushed back on it until I used it, and then 388 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: I said, you know, this is a that she's not bad. 389 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: This is there are worse things to have in life. 390 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: So let's try to do the math. So one hundred 391 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: and ninety million, and let's see if we can figure 392 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: out the math on this. Will they said there would 393 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: be no math, but I'm gonna I'm not gonna do 394 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: real math. I'm gonna do malor math. So if Steve Balmer, 395 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: if my math is correct, that Steve Balmer makes one 396 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,680 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety million, and so that's a lot of zeros, right, 397 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: that's a lot of zeros. And then we'll keep adding zeros. 398 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 2: And we'll know how many zeros that is. But I 399 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 2: have a lot. 400 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: It's a lot. And then per let's say and you 401 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: divide that. I guess you just have to do. You 402 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: don't have to do the full amount. Hold on, you 403 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: listen to our live coverage as I attempt to talk 404 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: and do some math. And then let's see here I 405 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: think that would be would that be twelve I'd mean 406 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,120 Speaker 1: more than that. I have twelve point six million a minute, 407 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: But that's not right because twelve point six million per minute, 408 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: and then if it was a fifteen minute trip to 409 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: the bathroom, that would why is you that would work? Right? 410 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: I think that would be about one hundred and ninety 411 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: million a lesson than Yeah, I don't know. So he'd 412 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: have to he'd have to spend like, he'd have to 413 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: spend fifteen and a half minutes on the toilet and 414 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,639 Speaker 1: then he'd be okay. So I think that's the magic number. 415 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,959 Speaker 1: So Bomber in the morning, as long as he spends 416 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: fifteen and a half minutes on the toilet, good, He's good. Hey, 417 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: if you made that kind of money, I would just 418 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: spend all day on the toy I'd get hemorrhoids from 419 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: sitting on the toilet. That's what I would do. But yeah, 420 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: you do you boo ferg dog rights and says you 421 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: and Jonas killed it earlier. Unfortunately you also killed lee Elia. 422 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 1: But other than that great show, here you go. Yeah, 423 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: we were randomly talking about. I filled in locally on 424 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: AM five seventy in LA, the flagship of Fox Sports Radio. 425 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: They invited me in.

We played it, 434 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: and then we found out that we might have been 435 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: responsible for the demise of lee Ilia. We just randomly, randomly, randomly, 436 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: are you kidding me? 437 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 2: You talked about him for the first time in a 438 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: long time. 439 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 1: And then yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, the day he died. 440 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't know at the time we were 441 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: talking about him that that was the end of it. 442 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: But that was that was it, right there, So lights out, 443 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: game over.

Man that 531 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,680 Speaker 1: had nothing to say, he decided to call it nothing 532 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: going on and said, I I want to be part 533 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: of the show, and he called it so is it 534 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: true that there has been a two months warning issued? 535 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: So shams or shams or I don't know how to 536 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:08,400 Speaker 1: say that. Insider guy that replaced woj says that the 537 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: Lakers and Lebron James may may part ways within two months. 538 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: O m gee, that's from the mouth of Shams, says 539 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: la Lakers and Lebron James may go their separate ways 540 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: within two months. So let's do two months. We got 541 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: so July eleventh, show, it's still July tenth on the 542 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: West coast. But if you go out two months, so 543 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: let's let's do the math on this. So obviously you 544 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: move ahead, that's that would be August, and then the 545 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: month after August. If I'm correct here, I believe that 546 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: would be September. Thank you for that. And September tenth, 547 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: I believe is the magic day. That is is a Wednesday, 548 00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: September tenth, So let's mark that him. I'm gonna mark 549 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,959 Speaker 1: that on my calendar. Going to Schams. By September tenth, 550 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: Lebron and the Lakers going to divorce court. Okay, very 551 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: very exciting, mistaken confirmation situation. Say what? So?
