1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number two, our number two,

2
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: and it's all about the gripe department. What is the

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star players saying,

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: pay us the activism over the weekend even though the

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: league's losing millions and millions of dollars. Also, what are

6
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: your expectations for Chris Paul's return to the Clippers for

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 1: a last dance? And how do you process Ben Simmons

8
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: drawing interest from not one, not two, not three, but

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: four NBA teams. We'll talk about that as well right

10
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: now here. It is our number two. It's another remake,

11
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: clueless the basketball story. Welcome in the beginning of another

12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,

13
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: m Freewhere, shoulder to shoulders, we are your midnight companion,

14
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: and beyond, coast to coast, border to border, on the

15
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: vast and vivaciously powerful microphones of fs are am monating

16
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: live from the board, just the sounding board of the

17
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 1: nighttime hours here the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved

18
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: by Laker Lapdog Rick. Oh what a dope. But our

19
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: lead this hours we get settled in is from Bouncy

20
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: Ball but not not that kind of bouncy ball. This

21
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part

22
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,639
Speaker 1: by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,

23
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires

24
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and

25
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options

26
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation tire Raq the way tire buying

27
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: should be. So we'll get to the thing that you

28
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: came here for in a minute, but I'm gonna start

29
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: with this the protest department. I was told by several

30
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: Pea ones that I let down my guard in the

31
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: previous edition of the show. We were so hyper focused

32
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: on the Mallard palooza. We had lean and mean, Lean

33
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 1: and Mean Mather monologues, and several of you knuckleheads said, well,

34
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: how could you know talk about the story was the

35
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: biggest story in sports that you didn't talk about it?

36
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: You should have talked about it. Why did you talk

37
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: about it? Those angry women? You should have talked about

38
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: the angry women. I was like, well, I don't really

39
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: talk about that sport other than Caitlin Clark, But if

40
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: you want me to talk about it, I will talk

41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: about it. So your dreams have come true. Your dreams

42
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: have come true. So I think you might know where

43
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: I'm going with this, but maybe not.

44
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 2: So.

45
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, I did not see this. Why would

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: I watch it? There's no reason for you to wort.

47
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I don't really care. Apparently, the

48
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: two teams representing the w NBA All Star Game wore

49
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: protest shirts saying pay us what you owe us. Okay.

50
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: That was in response to the ongoing negotiation and the blowback.

51
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: These angry women here, very upset that the w NBA

52
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 1: is not paying them the riches of Solomon, and so

53
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 1: the players wore the shirts hurting warm ups. They later

54
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: apparently held up pay the player signs Okay, well that's it.

55
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure the owners were like, well, we're not gonna

56
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do this. But once we saw those

57
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: T shirts, we're in. I mean that, come on, we

58
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: got to pay them. We weren't gonna pay them, but

59
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: those T shirts were done. So the the w NBA,

60
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: which is a fledgling operation with literally a few people watching,

61
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: they've got this labor dispute going on, and of course

62
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: all of this is getting overshadowed by the dogpile of

63
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: people that cannot believe what they're witnessing, Like, what are

64
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: we doing here? They're really doing this now. Caitlin Clark

65
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: the only person worth watching in the entire WNBA. She

66
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: did not play in the game, apparently I was told

67
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I didn't watched the game. But she was an honorary

68
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: coach and she also took part in the protests, so

69
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: there is that as well. So let us discuss the

70
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: question question is what is the most puzzling What is

71
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: the most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star pay

72
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: us activism with the shirts at the All Star Game.

73
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: So I've got ubering, Donnie Brasco and designer label and

74
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

75
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: are going to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies, soft

76
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: and chewy, gooey, chewy goodness. So number said number one umber.

77
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: So this is rich. I don't mean as in the

78
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: players are getting rich. It is just rich. And I

79
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: would argue that hutzba, which is a very enjoyable word

80
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: to say, the word hutsba, that does not quite cover

81
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: the basis on this one. Using the word hutzba This

82
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: is delusion. Delugion is what this is there, So where

83
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: do we start? Why don't we start with this? How

84
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: about we'll start with this? So owe you? What is

85
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: the question? What exactly are you owed as a w

86
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: NBA player? Last I checked, And I don't think I'm

87
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: wrong on this, But as I understand the economics of

88
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: the WNBA, the league exists not because of overwhelming public demand,

89
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: not because of amazing ticket sales, not because of massive

90
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 1: television ratings. No, no, no, no, no, no, none of

91
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: those things. None of those things. It turns out that

92
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: the WNBA exists because the NBA works as a wait

93
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: for it, sugar daddy. That's right. The NBA is the

94
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: sugar daddy. They are the ones keeping those checks coming

95
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: in there and keeping the lights on and all that stuff.

96
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: So it is a league that has been on life

97
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: support for some time, subsidized by the sugar Nadi Adam

98
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: Silver and Basketball atm Adam Silver and the people that

99
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: own the NBA. And it's a little money here, little

100
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: money there, and it's actually a lot of money. And

101
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: they don't get a lot of bang for their buck.

102
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of bang for the buck there,

103
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: and if the WNBA was a standalone business and they

104
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: had to make it on their own, hear me, roar,

105
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: they would have been so far gone like the people

106
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: that are complaining about this now, they wouldn't even know

107
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: the WM existed because it would have gone away before

108
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: they were born. Okay, so it would have been buried

109
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:14,239
Speaker 1: in a popper's grave there decades ago. But somehow, somehow,

110
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: some way, the players, because of social media, they believe

111
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: they're getting short changed. They're getting the old screw job here,

112
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: the WNBA players, And it's just wild to me. It

113
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: blows me away the sports economy. What's popular, what's not popular?

114
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Like do they live in a parallel dimension. Maybe I'm

115
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: living in a parallel dimension. But it just seems crazy

116
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: that this is a league being propped up by the

117
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: NBA and these women are out there complaining that they

118
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: need to get more money. Without the NBA paying the bill,

119
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: Without the sugar daddy NBA paying the bill, these teams,

120
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be flying charter, they wouldn't be flying commercial,

121
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be flying at all. They'd be nowhere to

122
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: fly to. Okay, these women would be ubering to the

123
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: why to play pickup back skip balls what they'd be doing, okay,

124
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: and they'd have the same amount of people that care

125
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: at the why as they do now. The average WNBA player,

126
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: the average NBA player thinks and I don't know. Again,

127
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: it's because of social media. They've convinced themselves that they

128
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: are part of some kind of cultural revolution. But in reality,

129
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: it's Caitlyn Clark and one hundred and fifty six other

130
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: people who are writing her coattails. Okay, that's what's going

131
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: on here. And so she is the lottery ticket. Caitlin Clark,

132
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, she's the show, she's the draw,

133
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: she's the anomaly. And even when she plays poorly she

134
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: has in some recent games, apparently it doesn't matter because

135
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the

136
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: legend the man that shot Liberty Balance, the legend of

137
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Katelyn Clark, even if she has terrible stat lines, it

138
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And the rest of the

139
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: WNBA it is a collection of flotsam and jetsam is

140
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: what it is. Okay, that's what it is. It's swirling

141
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: around in her wake. There's Caitlin Clark and all these

142
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: other players are swirling around, and it's there's a scientifical

143
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: term for this, it's mistaking relevance by association. You think

144
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 1: you're relevant by the people you hang out with, but

145
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: it's no, it's their their relevance. You're not relevant. You

146
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: don't have any actual relevance at all. You don't. And

147
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: so Caylin Clark, she's out there doing her thing whatever,

148
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: and really the other players are weighing her down more

149
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: than anything right there. If the NBA, and they ask

150
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: you this, if the WNBA went away today, later today,

151
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: when the sun comes up they announced the NBAA said,

152
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: we're pulling the plug. ITX nay on the money, A

153
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: We're out, no more checks, sugar, Daddy's done, Bye bye.

154
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: If the WNBA went away, poof just vanished in the

155
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: thin air, just gone see you later. Would you notice

156
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: how many people would really care? I don't not many.

157
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: I know there'd be some woke journalists out there that right,

158
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: think pieces on the internet, oh my god, this was

159
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: the worst stuck in the world. Of course, those people

160
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: have the very long bios about how great they are

161
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and there'd be a handful of

162
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: lunatics out there complaining on I guess cable news or whatever.

163
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 1: But other than that, that's about it. So again, if

164
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: you want fairness, if we strive for fairness, and you

165
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: look at the economics here, the WNBA lost, according to

166
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: multiple sources, forty million dollars last year. They were going

167
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: to lose fifty they made up ten millions. They lost

168
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: forty million dollars last year. So let's do some back

169
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: of the napkin malard map. So roughly one hundred and

170
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: fifty six players in the WNBA. Divide the forty million

171
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: loss by those one hundred fifty six players. So each

172
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: player would then have to cut a check for over

173
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That would be fair.

174
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Do you think that's going to happened? I don't think so. Yeah,

175
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: I think we know the answer to that. Now page two,

176
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: let's transition to a sport people actually do care about

177
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball, the men's version. And after weeks of chatter, chitter, chatter,

178
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks of chatter, the deal is now done.

179
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: The deal is now done. What is it? C P

180
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: Three Going back to the people's team, So question, what

181
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: are your expectations for Chris Paul and his return to

182
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: the Clippers for a last dance in La La Land.

183
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tackle it this way. There's a lot

184
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: of unknowledgeable people out there, like Rico and some others

185
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: who seem to think that Chris Paul's going to go

186
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 1: in there and be a thirty five to forty minute

187
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: a night player. This one called low information fan. It's

188
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: a low information fan. Am I excited about Chris Paul Clippers? No,

189
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: not particularly, I'm not. I know he's gonna be a

190
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: bit player. He's gonna be like kind of a trophy,

191
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: a mascot. He can hang out with Chuck the Condor,

192
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: they can do bits at halftime. So I look at

193
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: it like Chris Paul's treating the Clippers like, Hey, I

194
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: want to be in La. My family's in La now,

195
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: my life is in La. So I'm gonna treat the

196
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: Clippers like a nostalgia museum. And the Clippers are okay,

197
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: we'll take that. We're fine. If you give us fifteen

198
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: minutes a game or whatever, we're in cahoots. Now. My

199
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: expectation is Chris Paul's gonna play a little bit, He'll

200
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: win a couple of games from him, he'll get hurt

201
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 1: and that's it. But it's like, I have no real

202
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: expectations for Chris Paul doing anything. Why would I, Because

203
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: when the moment's the biggest, he comes up the smallest.

204
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: That's what Chris Paul's always done. And if you ever

205
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: hang on, I don't know how old you are, but

206
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: if you have that T shirt, that really comfortable t shirt,

207
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: maybe it's a pair of boxer shorts or whatever that

208
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: you had, maybe back in college, and you hold on

209
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: to it because it's just wonder and it brings back

210
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: fond memories, it's got sentimental value, and you're like, well,

211
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: this is pretty cool. That's essentially what CP three is.

212
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: He's an old pair of boxer shorts with holes in

213
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: them and the clippers kind of like it. If you

214
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: want to use a food analogy to the impact Chris

215
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: Paul is going to have, it's like going through the

216
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: drive through at McDonald's and you order the big Mac

217
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: combo meal from McDonald's and you go through the bag.

218
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: At the very bottom of the bag, you've taken the

219
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: items out of the bag, and you take a look

220
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: and there's an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Now,

221
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: you didn't ask for an extra fy. You said I

222
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: don't need an extra fy. I mean, I got enough.

223
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: But you look, it's right there, and it's it's kind

224
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: of an older fry. Maybe got caught in something in

225
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: the machine and all that, and it's getting kind of

226
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: soft and soggy and all that, and it's not that good,

227
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: but it's still food.

228
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 2: You know.

229
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, technically, you know you didn't ask for it,

230
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: you didn't expect it. But this gets to be a nonsense.

231
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: This is what I low these retirement tours. You don't

232
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: announce your retirement, you just retire. Now I'm retiring. Just

233
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: step away. Do what Tim Duncan did. Just put on

234
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: some dad jeans and that's it. Go away. But instead

235
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one video tribute after another. Every city

236
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: he goes to Chris Paul. Like I said, he'd be

237
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: hanging out with Chuck the Condor. He'll be hanging out

238
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: at halftime of games. He'll be kissing babies, taking photos

239
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: with fans. They should have a photo booth with Chris Paul.

240
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: So there's that, and it's like the farewell Tour sponsored

241
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: by AARP which is a sponsor of the Washington Nationals.

242
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: By the way, I was watching the Nationals game with

243
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: the Reds last night and they had on the field AARP,

244
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: which I'm sure Baseball's marketing people love because they try

245
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: to trying to get a younger crowd, so they have

246
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: AARP as their sponsor. Anyway, it's kind of like a

247
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: restaurant to use a different approach to this. Chris Paul

248
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: to the Clippers like a restaurant trying to revive its

249
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: business by bringing back a popular waiter they got rid

250
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: of thirty years ago. This bring that waiter back. Then

251
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: people like that waiter. We'll bring the waiter back. God,

252
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: but Chris Paul used to be a big deal, and

253
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: I love the Lob City. The Lob City days were fun.

254
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't hate the Lob City days. I hate Doc Rivers,

255
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: I hate Blake Griffin and those guys. But the Lob

256
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: City is that was the arrival, That was the birth

257
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: of the Clippers. They were irrelevant, they didn't matter. Now

258
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: they run La La runs through the Clippers because of

259
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: the Lob City days. Ever since then, they're one of

260
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: the top teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been

261
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, no championship since Kobe Bryant and the Clippers

262
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: got to a Final four. In that time, it's been wonderful.

263
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: It's been wonderful. But in terms of him being a

264
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: leading actor, Chris Paul with the Clippers, to quote Donnie Brasco,

265
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: forgot about it. Remember that old forgot about it. Come on,

266
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: if the Clippers playoff fortunes are dependent on CP three

267
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: stepping his game up in a key MOLMD in the spring,

268
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty six, they're porked. They're done.

269
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: That's it. See you later, all right, now, final point.

270
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: We turned the page. After a brief sojourn with the Clippers,

271
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: the former number one overall pick NBA draft, the Aussie

272
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: muffed it Ben Simmons, making all Ben's look bad. So

273
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is looking for a gig, we are told

274
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: now the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns, the New York Knickerbockers,

275
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: and the Sacramento Kings have all kicked the tires on

276
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. So how do you process a failed basketball

277
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: player that has not one, not two, not three, but

278
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: four teams that he's drawing interest from around the NBA.

279
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: So your thoughts on this. So Ben Simmons continues to

280
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: be tantalizing because people are stuck in a different era, right,

281
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: That's the problem in the league. They say this in

282
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: all sports, but in football and basketball, you never give

283
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: up on talent. Every coach thinks they have the magic

284
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: recipe to unlock the higher ability of a player. And

285
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 1: so Ben Simmons is like the ultimate what if? What

286
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: if he stayed healthy? What if he found a love

287
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: for basketball? What if he found a jump shot? What

288
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,959
Speaker 1: if you could convince him that anything outside the painted

289
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: area is not lava and you can actually go out

290
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: there and shoot the basketball. And it's the ultimate what if?

291
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Like if only he got his conference? What about this?

292
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: What about that? What about? What about? What about? What about?

293
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: What about? What about? What about? What about? What about?

294
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: It's what about?

295
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 2: Is up?

296
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: So really the Celtics, the Knicks and these other teams

297
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: that have been mentioned in the gossip, what they are

298
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: doing is they're going HGTV. They're doing the beach Front

299
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: bargain hunt. They're trying to find a bargain, Like, how

300
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: can we do this? Ben Simmons, It's like what Rob

301
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: Parker does our friend Rob when he goes shopping, Rob

302
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: tries to find the designer label on a clearance rack,

303
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: and that's Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons was a designer label.

304
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: He was a prodigy, he was international man of mystery.

305
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,800

464
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Angry Bill, you're repeating yourself.

465
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't repeat yourself. You know what?

466
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: You sound like a nine year old girls? Would you

467
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: sound like? How about that?

468
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah makes sense to me.

Speaker 1: and bitch, I'm thank you. So happy he's back, man, Yeah,

472
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: he's back. How lucky are we? Sailo to Andrew in Bakersfield,

473
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: who did some kind of hip hop rapping. My ears

474
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: are still bleeding from that. Hello Andrew?

475
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 7: What's up? Ben so in the vain as Tony in

476
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 7: the bay? Okay, I'd like to say I was thinking

477
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 7: about fitting it into the rhyme yesterday. But if Ben

478
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 7: was any better, he'd be a Clipper, but not a

479
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Clipper because they suck.

480
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: Well, he gets worse and worse. I mean, I don't

481
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: know how someone could be that bad at calling talk radio.

482
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 1: It seems so simple. You call up and you talk

483
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 1: and does he not realize that Tony the bey aer

484
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,479
Speaker 1: is actually funny with the stuff that he does. Does

485
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: he not understand Andrew, You're not funny? Is just the

486
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: Hour of Terrible? Is just like the out Can I

487
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: get anybody? Does any other callers suck more? Can I

488
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: get all the bad people on the phone right now?

489
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 8: I think it's like the pendulum, Ben, it has to

490
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 8: come back.

491
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. It is amusing, though, that

492
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: the Lakers wanted all of these washed up players, right

493
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: the Clippers have added but yet they picked the Clippers right,

494
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, the Lakers wanted him, Chris Paul

495
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: but since they didn't sign with the Lakers, it's like, well,

496
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they're all a bunch of stiffs. They

497
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: all suck all that stuff. Okay, it's hilarious.

498
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 8: You always talked about how Bradley Beal is such a

499
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 8: stiff and he sucks, and you know, now it's like, oh,

500
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 8: the Clippers got on the people's team.

501
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: He wanted to come to the people's team. Well, he

502
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: did choose the Clippers rather than the Lakers or anyone else.

503
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: I think it's rather impressive. It's a great testimonial to

504
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer's ownership that the players want to go there.

505
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: It's a destination.

506
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 7: You got.

507
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 1: Suck. They've got They don't play on skid row. They

508
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: played a beautiful palace, the Dome, the into It Dome

509
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: there in the hood in Inglewood. It's just just wonderful.

510
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: So and what are the Lakers got. They got Luca

511
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,239
Speaker 1: eating cake off on the side there.

512
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 8: That's what they Luca's ripped, he's felt in trouble. He's

513
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 8: got a defensive Player of the Year on the team

514
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 8: watch out.

515
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: From ten years ago. Yes, and he's gonna have the

516
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: guy eating the morning shoot around eating donuts and then

517
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: you know, the third week of the season, by the

518
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: time he keeps eating those donuts every morning, forget about it.

519
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: Let's sailo to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre,

00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: go well for Willis and Andre. A compelling act, but

523
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: they did not finish in the final four. Hello to you, Andre,

524
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: and your dog. Willis.

525
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 6: Hello, Ben, It's good to be with you. Willis right now,

526
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 6: he's in the mix. Actually he's been stirred so he

527
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 6: might participate in this call. But Ben, let me first

528
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 6: of all say put a victor goes to spoils.

529
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:45,360

533
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 6: a vote for specifically, but Willis and I were showing respect,

534
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 6: all right, for those who have made it this Listen

535
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 6: at NCAA tournament then, where we got sixty eight teams, okay,

536
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 6: and only four make it to that, to that semi finals,

537
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 6: and never mind a championship. All right, So we're talking

538
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 6: about the zenis a right of a mountain, and I'm

539
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 6: not talking about mountain and Nadnock then, okay, maybe Mount McKinley.

540
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say Everest, but it's up there. It's

541
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 6: up there now. One of the previous callers right below

542
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 6: some disparaging comments.

543
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 2: All right.

544
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 6: First of all, the credit belongs to the man in

545
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 6: the arena all right, so the previous call if you

546
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 6: have an issue with the mallor militia the mallet palooza,

547
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,959
Speaker 6: all right and put your hat in the ring, right

548
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 6: and get down for the crown, you know so myself,

549
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 6: that's right.

550
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, these guys are a bunch of cowards. Angry Bill's

551
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: a coward, is what he is coming. But none of

552
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: them actually on the mine. He hides his phone. All

553
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: these guys are fake tough guys, you know what I mean.

554
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 6: So me and Willis, we're thrilled, okay, you know, we

555
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 6: try to put together in a little bit a little something,

556
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 6: you know, with Willis, chime, Danie, look quiet right now.

557
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 6: You know he's recuperating, but he's gonna be back wolf

558
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 6: and better than ever, you know. And there was a ron.

559
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: It was a very emotional, very emotional night for Willis.

560
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of barking that went on there and

561
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: uh not enough, but a lot. And so that's likely

562
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: why Willis is for clemped, very emotional right right.

563
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 6: Right, he got he got to step up the barking,

564
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, when when they say we're

565
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 6: the dogs that Willis has to be right there. But

566
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 6: he was excited at the prospect We were excited at

567
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 6: the prospects. Possibly all right, he's getting fired up, possibly

568
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 6: being a mascot, because that was the theme yesterday.

569
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 9: So you know, I love you know what I mean.

570
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 6: And the Mallard Militia, you know, the Mallor pound dogs okay,

571
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 6: all right, or the Malor war dogs, you know, because

572
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 6: Willis he is a malinof those are the canine dogs

573
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 6: that serve for the police unit. You know, they serve

574
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 6: our military folks. So he had that in him. Okay,

575
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 6: it's a topic for further discussion. Obviously, we're gonna need

576
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: a quorum of the Malon Militia before any such decision

577
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 6: is made, all right, But just to be in the

578
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 6: mix in the conversation was what was thrilling for us, Ben,

579
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 6: So I'm going to place the vote top four. We're

580
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 6: tipping the hat to you now. In terms of sorts,

581
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 6: then this w NBA situation and by the way, it

582
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 6: is the situation, okay, in terms of the players, and

583
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 6: they want to get there just due. But never mind,

584
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 6: the league has never made money. You know, they only

585
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 6: get nine percent of the salary. They want more, and

586
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 6: we're kind of going back and forth here, you know,

587
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 6: I have to say, you know, as a true blue

588
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 6: hooper that supports the w NBA hook line and sinker,

589
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: We're going back to ninety seven ben Tina Cooper, uh

590
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 6: Tina Thompson, Cynthia Cooper, the Houston Rockets, the initial championship

591
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 6: under the leadership of David Turns. The bottom line is,

592
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 6: if this back and forth nonsense with the presiding star

593
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 6: that's Kaitlyn Clark, it has to end. A couple of

594
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 6: WNBA players went in the press conference and they said,

595
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 6: I'm not talking out of school, but I don't mind

596
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 6: telling you that Kitlyn Clark's team didn't wear the pay shirts.

597
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: That girl's name Kelse Plump.

598
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 6: Come on, now, you know what are we doing, Chelsea.

599
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 6: The bottom line on kicking over the other callers.

600
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: The SB comedy bit. Nobody knows who these people are.

601
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 6: It has to stop the feuding among himself. It's gone beyond.

602
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: There's nothing diffute about it. They're not making money. There's

603
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: no when they start making money they can then argue

604
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: for some of the money. They're not making money, so

605
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: there's nothing to fight about. If you're in a business

606
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: that's not making money, you're not going to be able

607
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:16,959
Speaker 1: to get more money. I got to leave it there,

608
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: but thank you. On let's go to John in the

609
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: truck who's cruising around. I'll get him on. He goes

610
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: to the top of the line because all the other

611
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: calls on. Hold sock, Hello John, what's going on? John?

612
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: Then?

613
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 9: First time, long time?

614
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 2: How you doing?

615
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: First time, long time? Wonderful? What's up sir? How can

616
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: we help you?

617
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 9: So from one of your feelings, I got to give

618
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 9: them credit. That's where I got this idea from. But

619
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 9: I wanted to hear your take on it. They were

620
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 9: talking about how provos and the All Star Games are

621
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 9: now just a waste of time from the viewers perspective.

622
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 9: You know, these players, these multimillionaires, go out there but

623
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 9: don't want to, you know, hurt themselves or try too hard.

624
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: What you're saying is yes. You're saying there was is yes, yes?

625
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 9: And do you think that they I know it's just

626
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 9: a cash crowd for all these other billionaires that own

627
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 9: the teams, but do you think there's any way possible

628
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 9: they might get rid of these All Star Games? That

629
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 9: you know? I'm a younger millennial, so I remember back

630
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 9: in the early two thousands, those for the like the

631
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 9: football Pro Bowls, those were fun to watch, you know,

632
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 9: they were something to actually look into. But nowadays you

633
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 9: just said touch football and if they seem too close

634
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 9: to each other they fall.

635
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: Well, it's not even it's not even that it's dodgeball,

636
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: it's tic tac tall, it's tug of war like that,

637
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: it's a flag football game. It's ridiculous. It's like they've

638
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: pretty much gotten rid of it. And hockey they the

639
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: only thing they had success with. They did that, the

640
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: Four Nations thing. They that did pretty well. They got

641
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: some buzz on that. But they do make money. It's

642
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: a big event for corporate sponsors, as you know, John,

643
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, right, You got to get

644
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: those corporate people. It's a party, so vacation for a weekend.

645
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: You go to the All Star festivities and all that stuff.

646
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: But it's it's pretty bad. And you know, it's like

647
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: you talk about where sports came from when they were

648
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: trying to build up a fan base and where they

649
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: are now. Now, maybe they'll get back to that point

650
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: where they have to do things for fans, but they

651
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: don't care about the people watching. They don't why should they?

652
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: They get their money no matter what. It's like. I

653
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: remember telling stories years ago there was a guy that

654
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: played who was somebody I dealt with, This guy named

655
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: Tommy Hawkins who played with the Lakers when they moved

656
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: from Minneapolis, and Tommy would tell me stories about nobody

657
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: cared about basketball, nobody cared about the NBA in those

658
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: days in Sack and to get people to go to

659
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: the games. When the Lakers moved from Minneapolis to La,

660
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: Tommy Hawkins and the other Laker players were going the

661
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: back of a flatbed truck and drive around with a

662
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: megaphone around La saying, Hey, we're playing you know whoever tonight,

663
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: come out and watch us play. Like the actual players

664
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: in the afternoon would drive around and try to get

665
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: people to go to watch them play. But they don't

666
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: need that anymore. So it's like they don't do the

667
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: bare minimum. They're all paranoid about getting hurt and all

668
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: that stuff, and out of an abundance of cautions, nothing

669
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: will ever get done out of an abundance of caution.

670
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 1: I gotta leave it there, but thank you John in

724
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,799

Speaker 8: Rashi Rice has yet to be punished by the NFL,

731
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 8: but it's it's coming now that his court case is settled,

732
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 8: the NFL will move forward with their own disciplinary actions.

733
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 8: How long of a suspension do you think Rice will get, Ben?

734
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: Well, you go by the comps on this, and the

735
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: NFL has gone softer recently. Roger Goodell player empowerment, player

736
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: friendly guy. So even though it embarrassed the NFL, I'm

737
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: gonna say two to four games, I'm going two to

738
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: four games at the most for Rice on ice for

739
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: Kansas City. Next, with another gem.

740
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 8: From Trek Scoogl, the Tiger snapped a six game losing

741
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 8: streak and became the first team to sixty wins. Now,

742
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 8: he said he won't be satisfied until Detroit wins a championship.

743
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: Ben, do you think they have a shot? Well, I

744
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,280
Speaker 1: think the Lions have a chance. I think the things

745
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: go right for the Lions and the playoffs they can win.

746
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the Pistons played better last year the Tigers. No,

747
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: they have a cheating a holes manager.

748
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 8: Next, in an attempt to get Mookie Betts out of

749
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 8: a season long slum, Dave Roberts putting Mooki in the

750
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 8: lead off and moved to Tani to the two spot.

751
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 1: Ben, do you think this can help Mooki? Get back

752
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: on track. No, Mookie sucked all year, all right. It's

753
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 1: one excuse after another and it's just not his year.

754
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 1: They got to figure it out. They're paying him for

755
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: the next, like fifteen years. Mookie bets he's not going anywhere.

756
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: He's gonna be there. How did we do pass? That's

757
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: a record on the board, a win,
