Oh, I 3 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: have a jingle. I'm Adam Oslin in for Big Ben 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: Mallor Here on Fox Sports Radio tonight, gonna be with 5 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: you guys. Coming up the very next segment, we'll get 6 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: to Stranger than Fiction and talk about the worst dessert ever, 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: which is getting bigger and worser by the day. But remember, 8 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: for over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: Ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection 11 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: with convenient insallation options like mobile tire installation tire raq 12 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: dot com. The way tire buying should be all right, 13 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: I told you we're getting into it. 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 2: We investigating tonight. 15 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: So I don't like to go out of my way 16 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: to get into a goat debate. I just take calls 17 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: from guys like Mark Now. It's too easy, it's cheap. 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: It's reserved for you know, the dog days of summer, 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: when people get into those lazy sports talk conversations like 20 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: does catch Up belong on a hot dog? Or does 21 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: Pete Rose belong in the Hall of Fame, those never 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: ending debates like how many licks it takes to get 23 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: to the center of a touchy pop although, according to 24 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 1: mister Howl, I guess three. But typically I don't give 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: a hoot about lowering myself to such brainless topics because 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: it usually means you got nothing. I'm trying to inspire smarter, 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: robust discussions filled with contexts, nuance, and critical thinking, like 28 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: how we got into the worst video game movie of 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: all time? That was important, high level convos like that, 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: real mensa men stuff. But since there were a couple 31 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 1: updates on the goat debate this week which make it 32 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: more topical and appropriate to get into, I guess I'll 33 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: roll around in the mud with the rest of you 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: big out there in sports talk radio or the guy 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: who called in earlier in oinct like Silent Night. I like, 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: but by the end of this discussion here, I hope 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: you'll say to me, now, that'll do pig see Online 38 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: there's this ongoing debate between Jordan apologists and bronze sexuals 39 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: constantly twenty four to seven. I'm convinced these people work 40 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: harder to protect their guys legacy and more than either 41 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,239 Speaker 1: player actually work to create theirs. Twitter users like NBA 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: Shane and Mythnicks for Lebron, and then old heads like 43 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: Valid Hation and Jason Levin and Andy Roth. Both sides 44 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: are set in their ways, two sides of the same coin, 45 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,239 Speaker 1: unwilling to budge on any legitimate point made by the opposition. 46 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: When you're arguing MJ versus Lebron's worse than politics. It 47 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: makes people constantly have double standards, rules for thee but 48 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: not for me. Hypocritical stances abound. You don't talk for religion, 49 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: politics or Lebron versus MJ at the dinner table. I 50 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: guess we'll start screaming like that. It's impossible to get anywhere. 51 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: Why because these people have already made up their mind 52 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: on who the goat is. They aren't going into the 53 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: argument in good faith. They aren't open to a dissenting voice, 54 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: a differing opinion. The facts could change their opinion still doesn't. 55 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: Lebron fans think MJ played against guys cleaning their pipes plumbers, 56 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: and MJ fans think he's like making the dunk at 57 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: the end of Space Jam in real life. Like no, 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: that was a movie, guys, Okay, that's how delusional these 59 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: people are. By the way, we'll never know for sure. 60 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: I tend to think each era has its own goat 61 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: because the game changes as we move along over the years. 62 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: I also think the game has only gotten better because 63 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: that's how it works in sports. Like anything, we learn 64 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: from our predecessors and push things forward. Even Jordan admits 65 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: that in this clip on NBC with Mike Turrico on 66 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: his segment called Insights to Excellence, Listen to this. 67 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 3: One thing that's never changed with sports fans is the 68 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 3: debate about the goat, who's the greatest of all timers. 69 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 3: So it's rare that I get a chance to sit 70 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: down with one of the guys who's debated about to 71 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: talk about the conversation of that term. The goat. 72 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 4: Oh goat term is never going to be something that 73 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 4: I ever will get high or low about. You know, 74 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: it just doesn't exist with me. I never played against 75 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 4: oscarago Oh, Jerry West. Would A love to, absolutely love 76 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 4: to just a competitor that I am. You know, I 77 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 4: actually learned from them, you know, and we you know, 78 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 4: paved the road to the Kobe's and the Lebrons right, 79 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 4: you know, and to me that's it's the beauty of 80 00:04:55,480 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 4: the game of basketball that a player after a previous 81 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: player has evolved the game further. But don't then in essence, 82 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 4: this is where I look at it. You know, don't 83 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 4: then now use that against the player that actually taught 84 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 4: you the game or that you learned from. 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: So at the end there, MJ doesn't like the slights 86 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: and shots taken towards past players that helped get the 87 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: game to this point. Probably doesn't like that plumbers talk 88 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: and guys diminishing his era to elevate Lebron's. Of course, 89 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: the problem with that is the guys from his era 90 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: constantly crap on today's NBA. Maybe check out Inside the 91 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: NBA with Kenny Shack and Charles, so that goes both ways. 92 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 1: And to be honest, I heard Charles talking bad about 93 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: today's game long before I ever heard anyone called MJ's 94 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: competition or past guy's plumbers. I think that was a 95 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: reaction to the old heads going after the modern game. 96 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: But one of the quotes there from MJ was quote, 97 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: it's a beauty of the game of basketball that a 98 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 1: player after a previous player has evolved the game further. 99 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: MJ admitting the game has evolved, guys get better. The 100 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: shooting is off the charge in today's game. We've never 101 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: lived in a time where guys take and make more 102 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: high degree of difficulty shots than right now. They had 103 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: a shorten the three point line in the nineties to 104 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: make it easier. I mentioned this earlier. Now they have 105 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 1: to extend it out further to make it harder to 106 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: hit threes because guys are too good at it. People 107 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: think it's hurt the game. I tend to think the 108 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: game wasn't better when guys were less skilled. The game 109 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: wasn't better before we had a seven to five unicorn 110 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: alien well, one of one player like Wemby who was 111 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: making fadeaways like MJ did it six to six. Even 112 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: some of our centers now can do everything. The reason 113 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: it's called a positionless league is because you have to 114 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: be skilled enough to do more. Specialists and guys that 115 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: do one thing but have flaws everywhere else are being 116 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: slowly weeded out of the league by more multifaceted players. 117 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: But while the game has evolved, also Scotty's relationship has 118 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: as well. Were this week we got a seemingly innocuous 119 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: commercial for a soda mister pib in this case that 120 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: was used as an attack on MJ. Let's see is 121 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: Scotty throwing shade at Dr Pepper here or Michael Jordan. 122 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 5: Let's set the record straight about pill. When you think 123 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 5: about Pill, you think of what second best? Fact check 124 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 5: on Pip When something has been considered second best for 125 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 5: so long, we just blindly accept the gospel. 126 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: A decades long plot built on marketing, social. 127 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 5: Media, multi part documentaries. 128 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,679 Speaker 1: Pip took that personally, Yeah. 129 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 5: I said it. Pip is a goat all right. 130 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: Seems like there's some truth and is just there in 131 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: that commercial. Scotty is tired of MJ getting all the 132 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: love when he feels like he was a bad man too. 133 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: Jordan himself once said, quote, there is no Michael Jordan 134 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: without Scotty Pippin. MJ was one in nine in the 135 00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: playoffs before Scotty came along. Now there's context missing there, 136 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: just like there is when MJ fans bring up Lebron's 137 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: record of being four and six in the finals. MJ 138 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,239 Speaker 1: started on a bad bulls team, and I mean bad. 139 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: I mean they were like coke addicts everywhere. I don't 140 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: think they cared much about playing basketball, so he wasn't 141 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: supposed to win early on, which is why he gets 142 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: so much love for scoring sixty three in a loss 143 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: to the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. Yet those same 144 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: MJ fans ignore that Lebron was also at a great 145 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: disadvantage with the twenty eighteen Cavs team that he tried 146 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: to drag to a game one win over the Golden 147 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: State Warriors with KD with a fifty point triple double, 148 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: just for j R. Smith to have that brain fart 149 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: at the end of the game. MJ wasn't supposed to 150 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: be the Celtics. It's okay, he didn't actually win that 151 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: game when he scored sixty three. Now apply that same 152 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: logic to Lebron, but you don't. You say, fifty point 153 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: triple double. Who cares empty numbers? All that matters is 154 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: wins and losses unless it's MJ. Because that's when he's 155 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 1: at a severe talent disadvantage. Apply that context differently. When 156 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: he shows greatness even in defeat. MJ fans don't do 157 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: the same thing for Lebron. I can't tell you the 158 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: amount of times I've heard Rob Parker say he was 159 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: there in the building when MJ hit that shot to 160 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: beat the Cavs in eighty nine, and how magical it was. 161 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: When I know, damn well, if that was Lebron, Rob 162 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: Parker'd be like, so what it was a first round series. 163 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: It didn't propel him to a championship that year. MJ 164 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,719 Speaker 1: didn't win that year either. He lost to the Pistons 165 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: again for the second straight year. He would eventually loosen 166 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: them three times in a row. But that's okay, right 167 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 1: because it didn't happen in the finals, so it doesn't 168 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: hurt his perfect six to zero finals record. Way to 169 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: go perfect, Apparently it's better not to make it as 170 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: far in the playoffs for the state, for the sake 171 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: of narratives. Speaking of those bad boy Pistons, Isaiah Thomas 172 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 1: had something to say about MJ this week on Running 173 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: Back on Fan Duel TV. 174 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 6: And I said to Kevin Durant, Hey, if if you 175 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 6: would have played back in all era and they put 176 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 6: you in the triple posts at the mid post area, 177 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 6: and they took Michael Jordan out, and you played with 178 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 6: Pippin and you played with Coup coach and you got 179 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 6: to run into the mid post, you would he have 180 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 6: won six championships. Absolutely with Rodman and Tippan and Kuck 181 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 6: coach and DJ and Craig Hodges and all them around him, 182 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 6: and he get the post up in the mid range 183 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 6: and that ball is you know, targeted to him every 184 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 6: night and he's getting up twenty five thirty attempts. Yeah, 185 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,559 Speaker 6: he he can do the same thing. The most amazing 186 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 6: thing about Kevin Durant is go back and okay pull. 187 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 6: That's why you research guys, the poor. Listen that up. 188 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 6: How many shot attempts did does Durant have compare to 189 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: the shot attempts that Jordan had to break the ruck? 190 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: I got it here, zeke. It took KD two seventy 191 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: seven fewer shots two thousand, one hundred and seventy seven 192 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 1: fewer shots to pass MJ on the all time scoring list. 193 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 1: I know, Michael fans he takes more threes, right, Well, 194 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 1: MJ wasn't good at that. If you take out the 195 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: years where the three point line was shortened and they 196 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 1: were on that baby high school three point line. MJ 197 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: shot twenty eight percent from three in his career. But 198 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: what about the Blazers finals game? Who cares? We're talking 199 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 1: about big sample size entire career here without the shortened 200 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 1: three point line, he was at twenty eight percent from three. 201 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook is a better three point shooter than that. 202 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: Go check out MJ's performance, by the way, in the 203 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: three point contest, where he scored five points. But at 204 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: least he competed unlike Lebron in the dunk contest. Sure, 205 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: we also don't know if Jordan would ever be able 206 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: to develop a consistent three point shot in today's league 207 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: that would make him as efficient of a score as 208 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: Kevin Duraniz. I don't know if you drop KD onto 209 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: the Bulls in the nineties that he wins six rings, 210 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: of course, but he has a better chance of that 211 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: than dropping MJ into today's league and winning six without 212 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: a three point shot. Remember what MJ said in the 213 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: interview quote, It's a beauty of the game of basketball 214 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: that a player after a previous player has evolved the 215 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: game further. He knows guys have gotten better. He knows this, 216 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: he knows it would be different. Now does he deserve 217 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: credit for guys building upon what he started? Of course credit, 218 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: Phil said it. But the game keeps moving along. Now 219 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: you're probably saying, but Adam you decided Pippin and Isaiah 220 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: Thomas two guys with an ax to grind against MJ 221 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: for various reasons. I'm not sure what that has to 222 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: do with what Isaiah Thomas said about KD every shot 223 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: MJ did, Like, is it possible he wins six on 224 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 1: that Bulls team? If you drop KD in from today 225 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: with time travel and it gets convoluted, it's silly, of course, 226 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: And why don't subscribe to all time goats? And there's 227 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: just goats of different eras. But if you want to 228 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: discredit Pippin and Isaiah, fine, Hey, the former players and 229 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: coaches and analysts and commentators that all say MJ is 230 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: the goat, they're all unbiased, impartial observers that never had 231 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: any agenda against Lebron. I'm sure just pure ball knowers. Now, 232 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: can't have it both ways. You can't only give the 233 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: opinions weight if they agree with your opinion, but then 234 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: we don't and you tear them down. What about Jason 235 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,560 Speaker 1: Kid who said Lebron is the goat? Paul Pierce said 236 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: he's the goat, Oscar Robertson said Lebron James is the goat. 237 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: The big old Yannis Julius Irving, Derek Devinsky, Lou Williams 238 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 1: White Chocolate okay, who cares? Rick Fox? Okay, who cares? 239 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: Ron Our Tests Sack Maxwell, stan Van Gundy, Nick Nurse, 240 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: Brett Brown, pat Riley said it he retired Jordan's jersey 241 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: even though he never played for Miami. Pat Riley has 242 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: said Lebron is the goat. All these people have agendas 243 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: against Mike or they just know the game has moved on. 244 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: Like MJ said, it's a beauty of the game of 245 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: basketball that a player after a previous players of all 246 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: the game. Further, personally, he can have either guy, I 247 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: don't care, you can have Kareem you want to go. 248 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: Bill Russell fined, it's amazing to me that MJ fans 249 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: will cite Jordan being six and oher for his ghost status, 250 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: but ignore that Bill Russell won eighth straight. But that 251 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: was in a different era, more primitive time in the NBA. Well, 252 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: guess what that era that Russell played in is closer 253 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: to MJ's era than MJ's is to Lebron's Now. If 254 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: you don't want nineties basketball to be denigrated, you can't 255 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: denigrate the sixties. Last ring was almost thirty years ago. Now, 256 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: I know, maybe don't turn the goat conversation into something 257 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: that is almost feeling political at this point where everyone's 258 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: unwilling to listen to each other no matter how factual 259 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: the points are that are brought up. If you're so 260 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: entrenched in your opinion and you're married to it, you're 261 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: not changing it anyways. I think a lot of the 262 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: reason guys defend MJ to death is because they are 263 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: defending themselves, like Mark earlier, who I said, you probably 264 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: think everything's better in your prime, and he said, yes, 265 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: everything was better. They have nostalgia for that time because 266 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: it wasn't just when MJ peaked, it's when they did. 267 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: They want to believe when they were in their prime, 268 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: so it was basketball, movies, music, everything life peaked in 269 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: the nineties. Apparently it's golden age syndrome, and it's made 270 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: them develop Lebron derangement syndrome, where anything Lebron does they 271 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: have to hate on because he's a threat to that 272 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: built upness, nostalgia and the member Barry's look, there's plenty 273 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: not to like about Lebron and clutch sports. Believe me, 274 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: I'm not particularly fond of him. I like the Clippers, 275 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: but I like the game of basketball long before I 276 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: chose sides on who my favorite player was. I don't 277 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: just want to watch my favorite player. I want to 278 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: watch anybody that's great, no matter if he's my guy 279 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: or not. We've been living in a time with Lebron, 280 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: kd Steph, James, Harden Kawhi carrying the game now to Jokich, Giannis, Luca, 281 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: sga Ant Wemby. The game keeps moving. Like Jordan said, 282 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: soon the Jordan fans they could die out, and then 283 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: Lebron fans will be defending him against Wemby fans saying, no, 284 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: Wemby's the goat. They're all fun, even though pointless conversations 285 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: to have. But just stay open to things evolving, like 286 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: Jordan said, or else you're gonna miss something special because 287 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: of your own biases and stubbornness. I gotta check myself 288 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: on a while too here. But yeah, Lebron's the goat. 289 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I don't care. Every era has their 290 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: own coat. You can have Jordan. Doesn't mean you have 291 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: to stop watching basketball nowadays because you don't want to 292 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: show Lebron any love eight seven seven ninety nine on 293 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: Fox is the phone number coming up next?

All right, coming 394 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 1: up that NBA team that is screwed up. But first 395 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: stranger of the fiction, our fast food customer defending vertices 396 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: n called nine after her McDonald's ran out of McNuggets. 397 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 9: He can't give a drunk man riding a horse at 398 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 9: EWI because. 399 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 3: Unlike cards boards that don't have motors, they have a 400 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 3: mind in their own. 401 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: Twenty four year old man now jus of throwing an 402 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: alligator through a drive through window. 403 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 8: Strange fish. 404 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: So I stopped drinking a couple of years ago for 405 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: obvious reasons, like I can barely function sober. Obviously, I 406 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: don't want to stumble through life like Jim Lahey and 407 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: trailer park boys. For the most part, my life has improved. 408 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: I'm healthier, I'm more of a contributor to society. I 409 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: go to the gym, more hit more of those prs. 410 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 1: It's easier, I just stay there for hours. Now it 411 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 1: feels like I'm on steroids. I pay rent on time now. 412 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm more emotionally available in relationships. Not by a lot, 413 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: but somewhat. I work harder, I'm more efficient, more productive. 414 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: I couldn't be filling in for the Great Ben Mallor 415 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: if I was still staring at the moon at night 416 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: while the sprinklers were going off in my front front 417 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 1: yard apartment, because I'm in that drunken stupor. That's no 418 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: way to live. Now I've only found one downside to 419 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: not drinking, and it's that I've developed more of a 420 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: sweet tooth than the clown in Twisted Metal. Apparently it's 421 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: common to want to dive into Willie Walker's chocolate factory 422 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 1: after you quit drinking. Addicts call it transfer addiction that 423 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 1: replaces the high calories and the sugar content with you know, 424 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 1: just regular sugar. I didn't know there was that much 425 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: sugar and drinking Knob Creek whiskey all the time straight, 426 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,479 Speaker 1: but I guess there is. So that's changed things. Now 427 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 1: I find myself at a seven to eleven late at 428 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: night looking for the latest flavor of those Nerds Clusters candies. 429 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 1: You know, the berries are good, but now they got 430 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 1: some like gusher. 431 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 12: Things going on. 432 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,479 Speaker 1: They're real good, better in the ropes. 433 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 11: Wait wait, did you just say they have gusher Nerd balls? 434 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 5: Now? 435 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: Oh, yes, they do, like crack, They're amazing. Also, the 436 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,959 Speaker 1: new sour Skittles they have based off the berry Skittles 437 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: the Purple bag, but they're in the Sour Skittles vein 438 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: like the green bag. Amazing, divine. Now I'll take down 439 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: some sour belts as well from airheads I'll go belt 440 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: to ass with those because they will expand your belt 441 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: and give you a bigger ass. But I also get 442 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: my chocolate fixed in too, usually with ice cream. There's 443 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: a basking Robin's effing drive through near which should be illegal. 444 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: That should not happen. Little Debbie is also up there. 445 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: I'll get some ho hosts to some crumbled cookies once 446 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: in a while. But you know what, I'm not craving 447 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 1: since my transfer addiction cake not much. 448 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 4: Cake. 449 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 1: Cake just isn't what it used to be as a kid. 450 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: It's like nineties basketball. We have better options that are 451 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: less dry, or those gourmet cupcakes at least that are 452 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: mostly frosting, just the good parts. 453 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 6: You know. 454 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: It's not like I'm kicking a good chocolate cake ala 455 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: mode out of bed or anything. I'll eat it. There's 456 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: just much better desserts out there. But I'll tell you 457 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 1: what cake, I'm definitely not eating carrot cake. The only 458 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: time I want carrots is raw dipped in hidden valley ranch, 459 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: and I want the whole valley scene, like not hidden 460 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 1: with the amount that I'm gonna use. 461 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 8: I need it bad. Take take No you like boiled carrots, I. 462 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,360 Speaker 11: Love carrot cake. 463 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,440 Speaker 1: It is so oh, get out. 464 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 12: It's something about the cream cheese frosting that they use 465 00:25:59,280 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 12: on it. 466 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: It's well, you may want to go to British Columbia then, 467 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: because a cafe owner who obviously disagrees with me, for 468 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 1: his eightieth birthday, Ted Martindale, owner of Granville's Coffee Well 469 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 1: Well Teddy, he uh, put together a seventeen foot by 470 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: seventeen foot carrot cake, which contained seventeen hundred pounds of carrots, 471 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: seven hundred pounds of butter, thousands of eggs, and nearly 472 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: two thousand pounds of icing. I would say that's an 473 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 1: absolute waste of every ingredient used to make this monstrosity. 474 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: Like Betty Crocker didn't die for this. Okay, she's not 475 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: a real person, but this cake is real. So Martindale 476 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: said it took over a month to bake four hundred 477 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: and thirty individual cakes that made up the final product. 478 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: Even worse, like you're smelling the carrot cake than for 479 00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: a month, Like the stench just gets stronger and stronger 480 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: the more or you're making the cake. It was served 481 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: last Wednesday at Martindale's birthday party at the local Seniors Center. 482 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 1: Luckily their taste buds are no longer working, probably disgusting 483 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: to them. Look, Lorena likes it, obviously, some people like it. 484 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: I'm the one with the problem here. Now they're still 485 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: determining if this cake qualifies as the largest cake ever made, 486 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: which was done in twenty sixteen by another British Columbia bakery. 487 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: The Canadians loved this. It weighed around forty five hundred pounds. 488 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: This one's at six thousand pounds. But it was assembled 489 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 1: over a month. So are we going technicality here? Like 490 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,760 Speaker 1: the Duke broadcast broadcaster guys right off the bench if 491 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: you have to bake a bunch of little cakes to 492 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 1: put it together to make one big seventeen foot by 493 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 1: seventeen foot cake just so the guy can get pub 494 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: for his bakery out of it, because this is good marketing. 495 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: I guess we're talking about it on sports talk radio show. 496 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: But I think that's a gross ass cake that even 497 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: bugs Bunny would spit out. I don't know even if 498 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,440 Speaker 1: you like cake. Like if someone goes, dude, I got 499 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: a birthday cake. It's twice the size of a California bed, 500 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna be like, what kind of cake? Carrot. Hey, 501 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: I got a bucket full of starbursts. They're just the 502 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: lemon flavored. Once you notice they had the red Fave starburst, 503 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: they don't have lemon Fave starbursts where you just get lemon. 504 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: I think maybe it's an acquired taste. Maybe my taste 505 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: buds aren't there yet. 506 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 12: Lorena, you have a valid point though, right, Yeah, it's 507 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 12: definitely not the number one. And if you're gonna make 508 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 12: a giant cake that's that huge, maybe pick a flavor 509 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 12: that is more loved. 510 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: I would eat chocolate cake dropped on the floor of 511 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 1: an airport bathroom before I win for the carrot cake. 512 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, who likes carrot cake? It's like a fruitcake. 513 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: Nobody actually likes it. We use it as a joke, 514 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,960 Speaker 1: a punchline. Am I wrong here? 515 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 6: Justin? 516 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 8: I don't hate it, but uh, I would never choose it. 517 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: Okay, But would you have more than one slice of 518 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: it if it was around? 519 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 8: No?

Nowadays it's like passe or like 522 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: it's it's not blase, it's not what it used to be. 523 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: I'd much rather have a pie. 524 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 8: I would oh absolutely, Oh wait, pie pie is the best. 525 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: I'd rather have gourmet cookies. Crumples are great. I know 526 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: it's like twelve thousand calories for just one of those things. 527 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: But cake is so nineties. It's not like they tried 528 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: to freshen it up with the ice cream cakes. No, 529 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: just give me the ice cream.

It seems like it's just a marketing 576 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: ploy by this bakery to get their name out there. 577 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: But I'm not gonna fall for it.

But first, I 599 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: have this burning question inside. 600 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 3: Of me pop Quiz hotshot. 601 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: I don't like the way I said that. Justin I 602 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: got a question for you as the producer of the 603 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: Big Ben Maller Show and the Benny's happening happening recently, 604 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: because the Oscar has happened, so the Benny's happened, they happen. Concurrently, 605 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: where did I finish when it came to the votes 606 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: on favorite Guest Host Quiz? You noticed? I wouldn't ask 607 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: you this at the beginning of the show because if 608 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: it's really bad, it would kill my confidence. But I 609 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,959 Speaker 1: have to know. Are you pulling it up right now? 610 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 3: Yeah? 611 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 8: I'm gonna bring it up. 612 00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 1: Look, I I need to know this because yes, I 613 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: voted for myself. Now, I could only do one vote 614 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: for myself unless I, like use a VPN scramble or 615 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: something like that, which. 616 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 8: I didn't let's see. 617 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: Oh is it that bad? You don't want to tell me? 618 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: Did I finish DFL? 619 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 11: You only filled in one time? 620 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: What do you mean filled? Oh so it's that bad 621 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 1: because I've only filled in once. 622 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, that's your huge embarrassment failure. I finished last. Yes, 623 00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 8: but Lorena brings up a good point. You only filled 624 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 8: in one time. A lot of these voters may not 625 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 8: have even known, you know who this is. 626 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: You know I existed, my existence in general. They had 627 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: no idea who I was. And now, Adam, I mean, 628 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: you got votes. The fact that Ben Maller mispronounced my 629 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: last name says a lot about my standing here in 630 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 1: sports talk radio, Adam. But I'll take it. I still 631 00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: had a good time, okay, before I get out of here. 632 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks ago, people saw this. Let 633 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,160 Speaker 1: me tell you this. This got me on the map. 634 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: I tweeted this out and it was snarky and it 635 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: was nasty, and usually that stuff just does pick up 636 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: some traction. Here on x at fallout of Maze, where 637 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,479 Speaker 1: you can find me, I tweeted out quote, whoever gets 638 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: the rockets in the first round, congrats, basically saying they're terrible. 639 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: You're gonna win that series, and it got three thousand likes. 640 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: Wasn't expecting that much love. It also got like one 641 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty book marks. So those are probably Houston 642 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,960 Speaker 1: fans that if they end up winning in the first round, 643 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,719 Speaker 1: they're all gonna find that in old takes exposed me 644 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 1: or freezing cold takes, whatever it's called, they'll get me back. 645 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 1: And that's fair. Now, that was a few weeks ago. 646 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: That was before Houston lost to the Lakers twice in 647 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 1: back to back games, before they lost to the Chicago Bulls, 648 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,319 Speaker 1: and then before they blew a historic thirteen point lead 649 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: with two point thirty left in overtime against the Minnesota 650 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:35,239 Speaker 1: Timberwolves without Anthony Edwards. No one had ever lost a 651 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,240 Speaker 1: game up that much in ot let alone of thirteen 652 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,759 Speaker 1: to two and a half minutes left. That's impossible. That's 653 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: worse than what happened to Duke the bench shut up. 654 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 1: They are one in seven in overtime games. Now this season, 655 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:57,040 Speaker 1: Houston's four to nine in games within three points. Now, 656 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 1: I know, Houston fans. You guys have won two row, eh, 657 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: Houston doesn't have a problem anymore. Great, you beat the 658 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 1: Grizzlies they're tanking, and the Pelicans they're just bad. Is 659 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: that reassuring? I don't think so. Houston was a top 660 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: three seed. Now they're sixth, and they can't really fall 661 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: to seven. They are tied with Minnesota with the same record, 662 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,880 Speaker 1: Minnesota as the tiebreaker over them. Currently Minnesota's fifth in 663 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: the West. You get sixth Rockets, and you're playing the 664 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: Lakers a few more times because they're pretty secure in 665 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: that three spot, just like they were last year. And 666 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 1: then they lost in five to Minnesota. So who knows. 667 00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: But before the Rockets loaded up recently, the last two 668 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: games against two cream puffs, they had a worse offensive 669 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: rating in the month of March than the Utah Jazz 670 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:52,600 Speaker 1: who are tanking. Emao Doka's offense and his lineups and 671 00:36:52,719 --> 00:37:00,399 Speaker 1: rotations have failed. Raphael Stone. Raphael, he's saying that right 672 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: now he's failed as a GM. How do I know that? 673 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:09,400 Speaker 1: Because they had all season to replace Fred van Vliet, 674 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: who got hurt in the preseason with a torn acl 675 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 1: They needed a guard. They never got one. The trade 676 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: deadline came and went, and they just sat on their 677 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,360 Speaker 1: hands and swiddled their thumbs that were up their bumbs. 678 00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 1: A team that went all in to get Kevin Durant's 679 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: trying to make him a playmaker. He's taken far more 680 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: shots on ball than he should be at almost the 681 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: age of forty. He should be a play finisher out there, 682 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: but instead he's going to start plays off. He's got 683 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: to get others involved. It's led to a lot of 684 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: turnovers and collapses late. Plus he has been missing some 685 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: of those clutch free throws if you noticed. Seems like 686 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: he's got the yips here. So let me say this. 687 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 1: If the Denver Nuggets last season could fire a championship 688 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:08,000 Speaker 1: winning head coach in Mike Malone, you're out. I'm not 689 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: surprised that Rockets fans are getting out the torches and 690 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: the pitchforks for Emao Odoka. Now, I don't want to 691 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: see anyone lose their job. I'm just saying, you know, 692 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: I got shams on notifications and the alarm goes off 693 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: whenever he tweets anything, and I'm taking notice just in case. 694 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: The Nuggets fired Mike Malone last season with three games 695 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: left in the regular season, they blew out their GM two. 696 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: This is a disaster for Houston. I know there's still 697 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: a top six seed in the West. Do they look 698 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: like they're going anywhere? Do they look like they can 699 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: beat any team within the top eight right now? Kevin Durant, 700 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's all his fault, but the 701 00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:57,720 Speaker 1: burner stuff is oh. I don't know if his teammates 702 00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: love him right now, lo b because KD went after 703 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,799 Speaker 1: Shanngoon got caught. Jabari Smith Junior got caught at the 704 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,400 Speaker 1: All Star Game and into a dome. He's in the 705 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,160 Speaker 1: layup line looking at his phone as all this was breaking. 706 00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,520 Speaker 1: He had this sheepish look when they introduced him. It 707 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,600 Speaker 1: was awkward. And it's not getting better for Houston. I'm 708 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,600 Speaker 1: telling you, I do not care. They just won two 709 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,279 Speaker 1: in a row against Memphis or New Orleans. They're not 710 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: beating good teams. They're not winning games late. Their offense 711 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: gets worse as the game goes along, when teams are 712 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 1: giving maximum effort out there. This is headed to a 713 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: bad place. Changes will be made at some point, depending 714 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: on the playoff outcome. But as I already said in 715 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 1: that sweet remember whoever gets the rockets in the first round, 716 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: congrats three thousand likes. It's not nothing there. Many now 717 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: have jumped on board and believing that the Houston Rockets 718 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:54,879 Speaker 1: are destined for a quick first round exit. We'll see 719 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:57,959 Speaker 1: what changes get made after that. Thanks to Justin, Thanks 720 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 1: to the Little Arena. You guys try to make me 721 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,920 Speaker 1: sound good. I tried too, but it didn't work out 722 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:04,399 Speaker 1: that well. 723 00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 11: Until next time.
