D 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: book got paid. 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question. 60 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 1: Sun superstar Devin Booker has agreed to a two year, 61 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five million dollar max extension that 62 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: keeps him under contract through the twenty twenty nine twenty 63 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: thirty season. And now this has led the Phoenix fanatics, 64 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: the Marching and Chowder Society of the Suns there praising 65 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: Devin Booker for his loyalty to the land of the Cacti. 66 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: Is that how you see it? 67 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 1: Do you agree with the sentiment of a good chunk 68 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: of the fan base of the Suns that this is 69 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: a loyalty play by Devin Booker So I've got kidney, Spago, 70 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: and Deli counter, and we will combine all of these 71 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make a crackpot. Now, 72 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: crackpot is a person that thinks this is because of 73 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: loyalty's that's a crackpot, all right, absolutely not. I am 74 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,119 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty degrees the opposite direction. Now must 75 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: be a different dimension that I resided than the people 76 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: that are saying that in the multiverse. And this is 77 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 1: not a contract that Devin Booker got. This is a jackpot. 78 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: I did the Malor math, and if my math is correct, 79 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: that is seventy two and a half million dollars per year. 80 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: He won't even play seventy two games a year for 81 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: the Suns. It's powerball with a jump shot. Good for him. 82 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: And yet, somehow, some way, there are so many fanboys 83 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: out there that an obvious money move here. And you 84 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: have the low information Neanderthal knuckle dragging fan you know who, 85 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: you are treating this like Devin Booker just donated a 86 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: kidney to a hospital in Phoenix, Like, oh my god, 87 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: he stead He's so loyal, Who my god, It's just amazing. 88 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: And they're clutching their foam fingers and they're they've got 89 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: that little gorilla mascot stuffies. It's not about loyalty. Devin 90 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: Booker's rich. He was already rich. Now he's richer than rich. 91 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: He's not giving the Sons a hometown discount. He's not 92 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: sacrificing or anything like. 93 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: That's a stop. 94 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: He cashed in like this is like a hedge fund 95 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: manager on insider info, right, he got insider him. 96 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: It is a hometown heist, is what it is. 97 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: And Devin Booker he didn't stay with the Suns because 98 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: he loves the desert sunsets and hanging out in a 99 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: town where it's one hundred and fifty degrees part of 100 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: the year, or the Southwestern cuisine. He stayed because the 101 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: Suns offered him every dollar they legally could offer him 102 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: under the salary cap, and he said, yes, please, I 103 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: will take that. And I'd also like a statue to 104 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: gout in a doggy back? Can you put a statue 105 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: to go in a doggyback? So this is not like 106 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: a feel good story. I have no problem Devin Booker 107 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: getting paid. He's a star. It's not my cup of 108 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: tea and all that. But I'm not a Suns fan. 109 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: So if you like him, great, he puts up numbers. 110 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 1: I feel like they're empty numbers. And you know, let's 111 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: stop pretending it's a capitalism move. That's fine, but let's 112 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: stop pretending this is some kind of Disney movie. 113 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 2: I see this reaction, I'm like, is this real? 114 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: Are there actually people that are living amongst us in 115 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: the sports world that are like this. 116 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 2: He didn't fall on a grenade.

That's that's a that's a hell of 126 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: a story. 127 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Anyway, all right now page two to La we Go, 128 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: La La Land. So the new details out on the 129 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: fallout from the Lakers record smashing ten ten billion.

So we are now hearing that it is 132 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: official the deal allows Genie Bus to remain as the 133 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: team's acting owned. Of course, the NBA won't say owner, 134 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: they're woke. They say governor anyway for at least five years. 135 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: Different report, however, from Front Office Sports says that Genie 136 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: Bus will only be able to stay for at most 137 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: five years now. Either way, she is sticking around. The 138 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Bus family legacy will continue for a few more years. 139 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: So where do you stand on lame duc Genie Buss 140 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: continuing to be the face of Laker ownership. 141 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: At league meetings. 142 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: She has a seat at the table even though she 143 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: agreed to sell the franchise. All right, So when I 144 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: first heard about this, I was like, wow, this is 145 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: just it was crazy, and I said, well, maybe this 146 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: won't actually happen, but it appears to have happened now. 147 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: So this feels like something you would This kind of 148 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: a deal feels like something you would write on a 149 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: cocktail napkin at Spago during happy hour. It reminds me 150 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: of one of my favorite radio stories. There was a 151 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: guy named gene Autry. You probably don't know who that 152 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: is if you're below a certain age. If you're really old, 153 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: you know who gene Autry is. He was known as 154 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: the Singing Cowboy back in the old days of country music. 155 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: Gene Autry and he owned a bunch of radio stations 156 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 1: on the Angels, a bunch of radio stations. 157 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: And I heard from somebody. 158 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: That worked one of his radio stations, worked at the 159 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: old KMPC, that gene Autry at the holiday party, at 160 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: the Christmas party would get completely hammered and would he 161 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: was very friendly. You know, there's different kinds of drunks. 162 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: There's the angry drunk, there's a happy drunk. There's the 163 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: I will give out ridiculous contracts. So there was a story, 164 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: famous radio story that was told early in my career 165 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: by somebody that worked for gene Autry that on the 166 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: back of a napkin at a restaurant in Hollywood, he 167 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 1: signed one of his DJs to a lifetime contract that 168 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: did stand up in court, And that reminds me of 169 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: he is like Genie bus probably was a Spago. She 170 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: had a cocktail a happy hour there, and she somehow 171 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: finagled I'll get five more years over at happy hour, 172 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: five more seasons minimum or at the most. 173 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: Either way, that is not. 174 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Governance is a co play. I mean this isn't about basketball. 175 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: It's not about winning championships. It's about ego, right, It's 176 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: all about optics and ego. It's about walking into the 177 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: arena there down on skid Row in LA and watching 178 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 1: nineteen thousand people nod and oh, look at that royalty. 179 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's about making sure that she sticks around, 180 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: because that's what it's all about. The Lakers sale agreement. 181 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: It's like a prenup, very bizarre, right, It's got this 182 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: clause in there where it's like institutional sentimentality. It's not 183 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: a business. It's like performance art in really expensive heels. 184 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: At this point, and my belief maybe I'm wrong on this, 185 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: but I have always said that the person that has 186 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: the checkbook, the person that writes the checks, is the 187 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: one with the power. So in this particular story, that 188 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: would be Mark Walter and the Goggenheim partners who bought 189 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: the Lakers. They own the dots, also, not Genie Buss. 190 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: So the blueprints have changed. They've transferred over the deed 191 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: to the team, and Genie Buss is going around as 192 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:11,479 Speaker 1: the figurehead. 193 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: She's like the Queen of England being. 194 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: Trotted out for ceremonial appearances. Have a spot of tea 195 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: while the real power brokers play geopolitical chess. Mark Walter 196 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: and all them behind the velvet rope and all that stuff. 197 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: But g you can walk on the red carpet, but 198 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: they'll take care of the business in the back. Now 199 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: final point, we now go old guy radio. Who that's right, 200 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: We're doing old guy radio. So we flashback to a 201 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: by God era long long ago and a much different 202 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: world in the NBA. So we learned that frank Leyden. 203 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: You might not know who that is. Frank Leyden, a 204 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: man that had the gift of gas, former coach of 205 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz led them to the playoffs for the 206 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: first time. 207 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: He's dead. 208 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: Now when I found out, we. 209 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 2: Were like, I didn't even know you were still alive. 210 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean, frank was an old guy when he was 211 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: working in the NBA, but he made it all the 212 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: way to ninety three. Ninety three, So I wanted to 213 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 1: spend a few minutes going down memory lane. I think 214 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: it's important when someone that touched my sports fandom, and 215 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: I absolutinly wasn't a Utah Jazz fan, but someone that 216 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: touched my fandom passes away. I think it's the proper respect. 217 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: We used to do a six line tribute. Then they 218 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: changed the phone system and now we can't put six 219 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: lines on the air, so that went to hell. So 220 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: the question what are you going to remember about long 221 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: ago jazz coach and he was the GAM as well 222 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: for years, Frank Layton. So the first thing is a 223 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: life well lived? Ninety three is a great run ninety three. 224 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we'd all take that right now, we'd sign 225 00:12:59,520 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: up for that. 226 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: They give me ninety three. I'm good. I'm pretty good. 227 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: The bigger than life personality, And I was thinking about 228 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: it when I was coming into the studio. Frank Layden's 229 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: life story like an old school Hollywood comedy. It really 230 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: is like an old school Hollywood company. So if you 231 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: don't know his backstory, this is a street wise guy, 232 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: fat guy from Brooklyn, you know, typical over the top, 233 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: in your face New York guy, right out of Central Casting, 234 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: and he ended up coaching the New Orleans Jazz. He 235 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: then got dropped into Mormon country and it's like he 236 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: took some kind of wrong turn. I think he was 237 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: coming out of the Holland Tunnel and he went the 238 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: wrong way and then he ended up waking up in 239 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: some place in Salt Lake City holding a clipboard in 240 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: the early nineteen eighties. Now you understand it was a 241 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: much different time in professional sports, this corporate buy crap 242 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: we have today in sports. Frank Laydon was a byproduct 243 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 1: of a mom and pop era. 244 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 2: In the NBA. 245 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: He was the coach, he was the general manager, but 246 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 1: it looked like he belonged behind the deli counter, yelling next, right, 247 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 1: who's got next? 248 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: What do you want? 249 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: So pastrami? 250 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: What do you want? 251 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: Corn beef? Yeah, okay, roast beef, turkey. 252 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: Ham, what do you want? 253 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: Like he could have been a taxi cab driver in 254 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: another life and nobody would have thought anything of it. 255 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: And he didn't waste his time crunching analytics and player 256 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: efficiency ratings. 257 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 2: And all that crap. 258 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: Didn't worry about it. Didn't need a computer back then, 259 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: when the computers were archaic. When he was doing his thing, 260 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: he had a rotary home landline, rotary phone, no cell phone, 261 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: and he picked players on gut instinct. Oh my god, 262 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: if you win. He into the front offices of basketball, 263 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 1: baseball and football and said, all right, no computers, no analytics, 264 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: you just got to go by your gut, how many 265 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: people would resign, how many people would have a heart attack. 266 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,720 Speaker 1: But back then it was just the way you did 267 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: things right. But the thing that I remember also about 268 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: Frank Laydon the charisma that you can't teach. And I 269 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: was watxing poetic about my early days. It was I 270 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: started in the radio business as a reporter, but it 271 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: was it was in the early relative early nineties, and 272 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: a lot of the guys from the eighties were still 273 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: in the NBA, and it was such a different era, 274 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: like Doug ma and Frank Layden and these big personalities 275 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: goofball coaches, and it was wonderful to get sound as 276 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 1: a radio guy because they just gave the most ridiculous 277 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: quotes and it was wonderful. But Frank Laydon drafted John 278 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: Stockton and Carl Malone back to back years, yeah, back 279 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: to back years in the draft, and one year we 280 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: got stocked. In the next year we got Carmelone Hall 281 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: of Famers to the all time greats. And I'll bet 282 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: you dollars to donuts that Frank Layden spent more time 283 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 1: choosing what kind of HOGI he was going to have 284 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 1: at lunch than he did scouting or you know, there 285 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: was no algorithms or anything like that, so he didn't 286 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: think about predictive models or any of that stuff, right, please, Yeah, 287 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: the idea of analytics, Frank Layden was from an era 288 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: where you shake a hand, you made a joke, you know, 289 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: you told the zinger, a one liner, a wisecrack, and 290 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: he coached with a towel. Frank Layden slung over his shoulder, 291 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: was already sweaty. 292 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 2: At the old Salt Palace there in. 293 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. And it always looked like he when 294 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: he was coaching, it looked like he was working at 295 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: the YMCA and he was going to clean the court 296 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: and grab the mop. And his news conferences would be 297 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: stand up comedy and was back in those days, you 298 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: just criticized the players, and that's just just goof on. Now, 299 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: if you criticize the players, there's a war tribunal, you 300 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: lose the locker room. Back then, you know, oh that 301 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: guy's fat, that guy's out of shape. You know that 302 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: guy's a loser. That guy should know. But it was 303 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: a different time and and Frank Laydon was a throwback 304 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: again to a time when the NBA was like half game, 305 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: half vaudeville and this younger young peples. Oh it was terrible. Yeah, 306 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: you know that. Losers like that podcaster JJ Reddick like 307 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: to rip the old days. But Frank Laydon, I mean 308 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: it was, it was great. I have fun memories. So 309 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: rest in peace, Frank Layden, A life well lived. It 310 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahlor Show.

We're out here on a walk, beautiful 397 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 5: day in the neighborhood. So we're out here getting our exercise. 398 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 5: But speaking of somebody who's gonna need some exercise, Ben, 399 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 5: talking about Devin Booker here, okay? And what is seventy 400 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 5: five million that he's given a year? So you noted 401 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 5: that he has a portion of the Grand Canyon for 402 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 5: my money, they probably threw in the Colorado River too. 403 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 5: How about the Hoover Dam. Okay, as a part of 404 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 5: his deal, because all he's going to really try to 405 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: do and for me is do what Kobe Bryant did 406 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 5: in two thousand and five, which is getting empty Calori stats. 407 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 5: He's going to lead the league in scoring thirty five 408 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 5: points a game. Right, They're going to be right back 409 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 5: in the basement, right back in the lottery. But the 410 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 5: whole team is centered around him doing whatever the heck 411 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 5: that he wants. 412 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 2: Now there is about Andre before we move on here. 413 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: So they're they're going to give Devin Booker the Hoover Dam, 414 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: which is in Nevada, not even in Arizonas. That's how 415 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: big this contract is. They're actually gonna give him property 416 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: in Nevada. 417 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 5: Right, give him some sat scope, you know, throwing some 418 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 5: ski slopes there. 419 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: And how about how about this, how about he can 420 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: get a share of parking ticket revenue from Albuquerque? 421 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:38,719 Speaker 2: How about that? 422 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 5: Okay, to talk to Walter White and make it work, 423 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 5: throw that into the deal. But the bottom line is, 424 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 5: you know, this is kind of putting a band aid 425 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 5: on dumpster fire that the Phoenix Suns have been with 426 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 5: Madeshfia trying to get with his get rich quick schemes, 427 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,239 Speaker 5: you know, getting rid of Hall of Fame. Excuse me, 428 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 5: championship coach. I don't know about Hall of Fame, but 429 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 5: Frank Bodwin coach, Bud they most certainly both won championships 430 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 5: and he got rid of them in the year and 431 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 5: try to you know, strike lightning in a bottle. Wilson 432 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 5: doesn't agree with this with Bradley bial Get, you know, 433 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 5: bringing him in with his no trade clause. So listen, 434 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 5: on paper, you can sell people potential, you can sell 435 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 5: people the future. But from my mind, if they have 436 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 5: the opportunity with Jaialen Green, if they can trade him, 437 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 5: possibly to a Detroit, get some young assets from Detroit, 438 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 5: then bring them back. Then they can start to build 439 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 5: for the future. If not, if you bring back Jailing 440 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 5: Green Devin Booker, we already know two ball dominant scoring guards. 441 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 5: They're both going to get a lot of points. You 442 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 5: can sell people on that. And they're gonna be in 443 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 5: the basement. They're gonna be in the aj Devance the 444 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,479 Speaker 5: sweet Steak. So I just you know, and there's got 445 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 5: to be all the stuff with the players and the coaches. 446 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 5: Mott is be a mister billionaire. Is it possible for billionaires? 447 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 5: Is there anybody out there that's like McKenzie Bezos write 448 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 5: this billionaire who gives all her money away and seems 449 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 5: to focus on Zell and trowthropic opportunities. If Field look 450 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 5: at yourself in the mirror, take a step back, I e. 451 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 5: George Steinbrenner after his debacle, and then let your basketball 452 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 5: people make their decisions. I think then the Suns can 453 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 5: have a little bit of success. So me and Willis, 454 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 5: we're having some success here. He's amped up right out 455 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 5: here in the middle of nowhere. I had to put 456 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 5: my flash flight down.

Yeah, 685 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 1: a man with three names. 686 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 2: That's never good. 687 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:53,440 Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkle the Minnesota Vikings. Andrew Van Ginkle linebacker. 688 00:36:54,920 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: Here we all here, this is one big fan gets grilled. 689 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 8: Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mim said on a radio appearance 690 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 8: that quote, you can really feel that the times are 691 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 8: changing for us, referring to the Broncos. 692 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 1: Ben. 693 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 8: Last year, the Broncos snapped a streak of eight years 694 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 8: without making to the making it to the playoffs? Do 695 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 8: you think a streak of making it to the postseason 696 00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 8: has begun? 697 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,240 Speaker 1: So the math is no on this. It is about 698 00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: the bow show, bow Nicks. He's at the launching pad. 699 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: Does he go up, up and away with Sean Payton? 700 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: Denver is gonna have a pretty good defense. They've they 701 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,520 Speaker 1: figured it to be right there. You can't say it's 702 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: the start of a streak because you look at the AFC, 703 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are still right there in the penthouse. You've 704 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,960 Speaker 1: got Buffalo and Baltimore the top teams. But then you 705 00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,759 Speaker 1: look at the wild Cards and so it's the Chargers. 706 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: The Broncos are in the mix with the Ravens. The Bengals. 707 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will be better this year, and 708 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: so no, I'm gonna go know on that. Next. 709 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 8: According to analysts and betting markets, Wheeler and Paul Skeens 710 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 8: are neck and neck in the nl Cy Young race. 711 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,239 Speaker 8: Who do you think should win? 712 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: Well? Major League Baseball would like they don't vote on this, 713 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,799 Speaker 1: the writers vote on this, but they would like Paul 714 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,960 Speaker 1: Skeens to win. It's a good story, the pitiful Pirates 715 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,399 Speaker 1: breakout star. 716 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 2: He's got the. 717 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,279 Speaker 1: Social media influencer, you know, woman in his life and 718 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,799 Speaker 1: the whole thing. Zach Wheeler, though he actually pitches in 719 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,319 Speaker 1: meaningful games. It's very odd because normally these things are 720 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,399 Speaker 1: decided the last month of the season. The Pirates they're 721 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 1: not going to play any meaningful games till the Grapefruit 722 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 1: League next year, so he's Paul Skeens is gonna have 723 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,680 Speaker 1: to dominate. But I think because of the meaningful games, 724 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 1: I give it to Zach Wheeler next. 725 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,760 Speaker 8: Chiefs Jim Brett Viach said this week that Travis Kelcey 726 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,000 Speaker 8: may not have it every week, but he can find 727 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 8: it when they need it. Ben, do you think that 728 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,240 Speaker 8: will be the case for Kelsey? 729 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 2: Well, he didn't have it in. 730 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 1: The super Bowl. It looked like he was sleepwalking in 731 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which is the biggest of them all, 732 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 1: the granddaddy of them all. He's gonna turn thirty six 733 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,879 Speaker 1: during the NFL season. Uh, let's put it this way. 734 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: He's not going to lead the Chiefs in in statistics. 735 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be betting on him dominating this year. How 736 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:14,239 Speaker 1: did we do wid It's already it's already over. 737 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 2: We won, it's already over.
