1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Boom Shaka laka. It's our number one. Happy hump Day.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: It is the eighteenth of February. On this Wednesday, we

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: are together again through the power of Overnight Talk Radio,

4
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: which for you is just another podcast and we thank

5
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: you for listening to this partlist. Most podcasts no one

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: listens to. Yeah, we actually have you listening, which means

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: a lot. So here in hour number one, what's the

8
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: big takeaway from former NBA owner Mark Cuban saying that

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: the association should endorse and embrace tanking. Mark Cuban, seemingly

10
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: with a straight face, believes that the league should welcome

11
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: having teams that are openly not trying to win, like

12
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: the Washington Generals. What sticks out also about Adam Silver

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: supposedly being motivated to contain tanking because of gambling. And

14
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: do you believe that Jalen Brown had pure intentions with

15
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: his recent post about the Celtic success this season without

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum will go there as well. It's all coming

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: away right now here. It is. Buckle up, it's our

18
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: number one. You gotta mark the spot is what you

19
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: gotta do. Welcome in the beginning of another night of

20
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: the Ben Mahlor show. We are in the air. Ev

Speaker 1: of fs are emanating live from the griddle is. We

25
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: don't make the takes till you order them. In fact,

26
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: if you somehow turn off the audio device, we stopped talking.

27
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: We only talk when you listen. It's for every single listen.

28
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: That's what we do here from the world famous Fox

38
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: it here on early early Wednesday for most still late

39
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Tuesday night in the West, and we begin this hour

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: from Dallas. Yes, we begin from Dustin. Now, the NBA players,

41
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: with all those nights off for load management, they needed

42
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: more time off. Do you think the NBA players when

43
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: they're on their sabbatical they like, say, I can't go

44
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: to the beach today. I got to rest up so

45
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: I can go to the beach tomorrow. Does it just

46
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: is like that that disease is in their mind. They're like, Oh,

47
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I was out drinking and I was

48
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: in the sun for four hours yesterday, so I'm gonna

49
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kind of sit back a little bit in

50
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: the in the hammock thing, and I don't want to

51
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: be out on sun too much the follow day. Well, anyway,

52
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: that's not the story. The story here is Mark Cuban,

53
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: who owned an NBA team, sold an NBA team, and

54
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: has been leaking stories to his buddies the useful idiots

55
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: in the media that he wants to buy an NBA

56
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: team again, which is rather interesting when you consider the

57
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: former majority owner of the Mavericks says that the fan experience,

58
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: the experience you have if you attend an NBA game,

59
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: is the main reason that the NBA should embrace should

60
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: embrace teams trying to lose better known by its colloquial

61
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: term tanking. Do you see this?

62
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: No?

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: Maybe not all right? Well, Mark Cuban with a bunch

64
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: of errors because he did it on X and I

65
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: guess he decided not to spell check it. Maybe he

66
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: fired the person that was supposed to spell check him.

67
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm gonna clean this up because if

68
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: I read all the typos, it would really work. But

69
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Cuban said that the NBA has been misguided this quote

70
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: misguided in thinking that fans want to see their teams

71
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: compete every night with a chance to win. It's never

72
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: ever been that way, Cuban went. Honestly, when I got

73
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: into the NBA, I thought Cuban said that they were

74
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: in the basketball business. We aren't. Cuban said, okay, we

75
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: are in the business of creating experiences for fans.

76
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: A god so good.

77
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: He went on say, seemingly with a straight face, that

78
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: few can remember the score from the last game they

79
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: saw or went to. They can't remember the dunks or

80
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: the shots. What they remember is who they were with

81
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: their family, their friends, a date. Cuban said, that's what

82
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: makes the experience special. Close quote so good. I can't

83
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: believe this is real. All right, so that is a

84
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: good jumping out point. Let us discuss the question for

85
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: the class. What is the big takeaway from Mark Cuban,

86
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: who owned an NBA team for years, saying that the

87
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: NBA should just indorse tanking. They should indorse tanking. Now

88
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 1: my thoughts on this, I've got Chuck E Cheese, Lone Ranger,

89
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 1: and Lazy Susan and we will combine all of these

90
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: things together and put them all together, and we're going

91
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: to have a delicious dish of spaghetti and meatballs is

92
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: what we're going to have. So a congratulations to Mark Cuban.

93
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: I would like to congratulate mister Cuban. There he wins

94
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: the gold jacket. This goes down as a first ballot

95
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 1: haul of bad take winner. Congratulations Mark, What a great

96
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: business strategy. Let's have some of our imagine, you know,

97
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: pick any restaurant here, just pick a random, random restaurant.

98
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: We'll say, well, I'll back out Back, guy, I will

99
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: pick Outback. We know our friend Louisiana, when he wants

100
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: to impress a woman, he goes to Anthony, goes down back.

101
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: So let's say Outback, and I know they haven't done that.

102
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: Great the last couple of years because of the price

103
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: points and all that. But let's say Outback said, why

104
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: don't we have like, we'll have ten or fifteen of

105
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: our franchises serve blooming onion, and we'll put cockroaches in there,

106
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: and we'll just and then we'll work on some other menu.

107
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: We'll just try to put a bad product out and

108
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter. People go to Outback for the

109
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: experience to say, oh, I went out. You know Anthony

110
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 1: and Louisiana wants to impress a woman, he takes takes

111
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: her the Outback. So we'll just have certain franchises that

112
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: work for the company. We'll try to serve disgusting, cockroach

113
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: filled blooming onions. Okay, why not, Well they don't do that.

114
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: Why don't they do that because it's stupid. It's dumb, dumb,

115
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: du dum dumb dumb. So Cuban, if I understand right,

116
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: he thinks the paying customer is a complete moron, and

117
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: maybe you are. I mean, he could be right. You

118
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: know what, do I just sue the overnation. Maybe he's

119
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: absolutely right. Uh, And you don't know anything about basketball.

120
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: You couldn't tell a basketball from a grapefruit. That's what

121
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Cuban thinks. You're so stupid that you just go out there.

122
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: It's a show.

123
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: Ah, right.

124
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: You know, he's essentially saying that the NBA not a sport.

125
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Not a sport. It's it's like an adults chuck e

126
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: cheese and it get some tokens, go play the ski ball,

127
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: knock yourself out right, say chuck E cheese for adults.

128
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: That's what the NBA is at this point. You don't

129
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: remember the dunks, you don't remember the shots. You just

130
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: remember that you were there. Ah. The memories, Oh, the memory.

131
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: My god. Now the Mallard diagnosis, the Mallard diagnosis that

132
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: Cuban is suffering from what I call matrix level brain rot.

133
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: Matrix level brain rot. Now, this happens when you spend

134
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: way too much time on social media in a climate

135
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: controlled environment. You don't get out in the real world.

136
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: This is what happens. And we do these Mallard meet

137
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: and greets, and I've been very lucky to meet some

138
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: of you in all parts of the United States, and

139
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: it's been great, it's been fun. And I learn every

140
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: time I do one of those things, the people that

141
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: I come across are nothing like whatever that thing is

142
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: on social media. It's much different world. The real world

143
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: is much different than that world. And Cubans got this

144
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: warped sense of reality. It would appear if he thinks

145
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: that's it. He's defending the man's defending grade a low

146
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: grade product by calling it an experience. So why would

147
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: any business attempt to put quality in terms of entertainment.

148
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: It's just an experience. It doesn't matter who cares because

149
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: the other issue here, and this is why I think

150
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: Cuban's either a moron or he's doing some kind of

151
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: trick here. The downstream liability of what the NBA is

152
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: doing is insane to the membrane. Right, you serve up

153
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: lukewarm bowls of competitive apathy. The deadliest word in all

154
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: of sport is apathy. And you do that year after year,

155
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: and what happens is fans stop making memories, they stop

156
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: even knowing you exist. You become irrelevant. You're an afterthought,

157
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: is what you are. Right and consistent, It's been proven.

158
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: Consistency losing year after year. It isn't just a strategy.

159
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: If you will, it is anthrax for your business. It is.

160
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: And you can just knowice that it drives away. People

161
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: don't watch bad teams on television. While you said, well,

162
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: the arena experience, the NBA is a TV show, Uh,

163
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: it just it. It's a TV show people watch on television.

164
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: That's how they make their money. They're all actors in

165
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: the TV show. It's been that way and as long

166
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: as they can find people to pay them money, and

167
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: they just got a new TV contract, that's what's about.

168
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: And you look at the ratings of teams that have

169
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: tanked and are not trying to win and have terrible

170
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: or no one's watching. You think anyone's watching a Washington

171
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: Wizard's Game. Why would you you should go to a

172
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: looney bin. They're not trying to win. Why would you

173
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: bother watching. You'd be better off staring at the blank

174
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: wall over here to my left, you'd be better off.

175
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: So people don't watch losers and you are a TV shows,

176
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: you're driving away your audience. You know how hard it

177
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: is to get people back. I do a radios show.

178
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: I know how hard it is when people stop listening.

179
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: You got eight new people listen. It's not the easiest

180
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: thing in the world. It's not. And if the outcome

181
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: of these games does not matter. If that doesn't matter,

182
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: then the NBA is just what is it? A light

183
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: show with girls shaking their ass cheerleading? I guess that's it.

184
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: What if the cheerleaders are bad, Well, it's an experience. Okay,

185
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: thank you appreciate that. Now, keeping the theme of the

186
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: hour going here on the Ben Mahler Show. So we

187
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: are hearing that the main reason Commissioner Adam Silver recently

188
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: has attempted to unring the bell cracking down on late

189
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: game tanking by the Utah Jazz and the Indiana Pacers.

190
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: And there are supposedly more fines coming. They will announce

191
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: those once they get back after the long hiatus. That said,

192
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: the NBA, the theory is the reason, all of a sudden,

193
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: out of the will Adam Silver has sat there and

194
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: twiddled his thumb. Well, this has been going on under

195
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: his entire watch, and even before he was there. It's

196
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: because of the g man gamblers. That's why. So question

197
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: what sticks out about the chatter that Adam Silver is

198
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: motivated to contain tanking because of gambling? All right? So

199
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: the cartoon image in my head on this one, Yeah,

200
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: the bubble. Just imagine they're like a cartoon bubble to

201
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: the right side of my head. And the Images Commissioner

202
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: Adam Silver suddenly riding in into town and he's got

203
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: a cowboy outfit on. He's the lone Ranger, got silver

204
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: spurs and they're jingling along there. He's the lone Ranger

205
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: and he's got his lasso and he's gonna lasso tanking

206
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: and he says Hi ho Silver. And because he's Adam Silver,

207
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: you know, he says high ho Silver, just like the

208
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: lone Ranger. Keeping it real. Now, Adam is not protecting

209
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: the integrity of the game. We know that is not

210
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: the case. It's not about the integrity of the game.

211
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: That ship sailed many many years ago and it actually

212
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: hit an iceberg and it is currently sitting at the

213
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: bottom of the Atlantic Division where that is. But so

214
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: Silver is looking to pacify his business partners, better known

215
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: as the Bookmakers, who have started to cry foul here,

216
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: like what are you doing to us, dude? I mean,

217
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: come on, now, that's not right. So the NBA is

218
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: so deep and I like gambling, but they're so deeply

219
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: they're so deeply in bed with the Bookmakers the NBA

220
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: that they're practically sharing the same pillow. They're cuddling and

221
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: canoodling and spooning with the gambling houses. So Silver isn't worried. Now,

222
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 1: he's not worried about the fan. Of course, we know

223
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban thinks you're all a bunch of idiots anyway.

224
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: You love teams losing. So Silver isn't worried about the fans.

225
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: He's worried about the disgruntled whales. And there are some

226
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: big blue whales out there that are angry. The suits

227
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: that are at the gambling houses, they're the ones that

228
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: are upset. And when you see a random coach not

229
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: even hide the fact that, like the Utah Jazz coach,

230
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Hey dude, dank come on haphazardly taking star players out

231
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: of the lineup and then not even hiding it. The

232
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: people that run the books, they start getting a little upset.

233
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: They start sweating a little bit. And the phone, they

234
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: have the special bat phone, and they contact the lizard

235
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: person and they say, can we get ahold of Adam Silver? Sure,

236
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: no problem, we'll put you on without him, And then

237
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: his phone starts ringing. He gets starts getting those late

238
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: night text messages. Hey, what happened to that? Sacramento Kings

239
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: game here, and so again these narrow minded owners, the

240
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: narrow minded owners who are out there, who have all

241
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: gone to the same chat. I may eve we're on

242
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: the same webinar or something like that, where they're all

243
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: indoctrinated into this cult of trust the process. Even though

244
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: sam Hinkey got decommissioned from the NBA, excommunicated from the NBA,

245
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: And so you're selling this snake oil of tanking. I

246
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: would get rid of the draft. We said this in

247
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: a previous episode. Just get rid of it. They don't

248
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: deserve it. Let them tank. How great would it be

249
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: if the NBA teams start tanking and there's no prize,

250
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: they just intentionally lose for no reason. How amazing would

251
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: that be? My God, would that be great? That would

252
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: be so good. So my advice to Adam Silver, the

253
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: mal think tank was activated. We like to activate it

254
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: from time to time. So the advice to Adam Silver here,

255
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: the NBA needs to get a deal with Procter and Gamble.

256
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: Now why do they need to deal with Procter and

257
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: Gamble so they can hire mister Clean. They need to

258
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: bring in mister Clean here as a brand ambassador for

259
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: the NBA, bring mister clean in. There's a lot to

260
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: tidy up here and there's a big grease fire. So

261
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that mister clean can help with that,

262
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: but it's a big problem. Now the last word, We

263
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: now head to Boston. A bubbling controversy, bubbling controversy, pro

264
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: bouncy ball, pro bouncy ball, bubbling controversy. So despite Jason

265
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Tatum being persona non grata, although I guess he's coming

266
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: back here soon, they have to have the final episode

267
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: of the docu series that he's putting together about his comeback.

268
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: But Jason Tatum has been out. Jalen Brown has been

269
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: the big man on campus for the Celtics and they

270
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: have positioned themselves as one of the better teams in

271
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, which appears to be pretty wide open.

272
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: I only anyone at the top is like unbeatable in

273
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: Eastern Guns. It's pretty wide open. The Celtics are right

274
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: in the mix. And Brown recently posted a graphic. I

275
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this or not, if you're blind,

276
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: you heard about it. He posted this thing on social

277
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: media and it highlighted how essentially this Celtic team this

278
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: year is a carbon copy. The Boston team is a

279
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: carbon copy performance wise of what they were last season,

280
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: which is rather shocking when you consider the fact that

281
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: Celtics not only to get rid of Jason Tatum, Porzingi's average,

282
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: Al Horford, some other guys, A bunch of guys were

283
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: gone from that team last year, Drew Holliday, It's unloaded

284
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the depth, and then Jason Tatum got hurt.

285
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: So Brown his intentions were, Wow, listen, I'm celebrating the team.

286
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: He got tremendous backlash. Tremendous backlash is what he got

287
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: on social media, and he attempted to explain himself in

288
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: a recent interview. He said, quote, this is Jalen Brown

289
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: and the Celtics. He said, the thing I posted that

290
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: was about celebrating our group. Jalen Brown said, people make

291
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 1: it seem like it was about me because that's what

292
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: people wanted it to be about. But in reality, I'm

293
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: just so proud, he said, of our group. I'm extremely proud. Question,

294
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 1: I'll frame it this way. Do you believe that Jason

295
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: Tatum had pure intentions with that graphic posting the Celtics

296
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: being almost identical to what they were with Jason Tatum,

297
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: the success they're having this season. So do you think

298
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: his intentions you believe they were pure? So after a

299
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: minutes long deliberation of the available evidence, we have determined

300
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: absolutely not. Zero point zero point zero point zero. Uh yeah,

301
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: I imagine Jason, you know, Jason Tatum's looking at this

302
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: and oh, I'm offended. And then Jalen Brown, He's sitting

303
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: there at a greasy diner in easty spinning a lazy

304
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: Susan and saying that he's just admiring the craftsmanship of

305
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: the lazy Susan. That's it, right, He really actually wanted

306
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: all the dishes, he wanted everything and all that. And

307
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: last I checked the NBA, when the players actually show

308
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: up and want to compete and they're not tanking or

309
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: doing load management, it's the star system? Am I wrong

310
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: on that? Does anyone disagree? It's the star system in

311
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: the NBA. This is not a group project. It's not

312
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: and not everyone gets a participation ribbon in the NBA.

313
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: So Brown said he was celebrating the team. That's what

314
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: he said. The Celtics were supposed to fall through a

315
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: trapdoor into a pit of angry vipers without Jason Tatum.

316
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: That was the narrative, and that has not happened. They're winning. Still.

317
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: Brown is playing very well and he wants every man,

318
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: woman and child to know in the world that he

319
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: is strutting around right now like a disco ball at

320
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: Studio fifteen. He is. He's letting everyone see he's like

321
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: the keynote speaker Jalen Brown, the keynote speaker at the

322
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: conference of Me, Myself and I that is. That is

323
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: where he's at. And now that the algorhythm, the algorrhythm

324
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: is cooking him and he's getting cooked. So now he's like, well, no, no, no,

325
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: I am the elevator operator, is what I am, And

326
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm just lifting everybody up and you're all a bunch

327
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: of haters and all that, and that's what it is.

328
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't pass the smell test. Does not pass the smell test.

00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: so don't bother. But that'll be coming up a little

377
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: bit later, so check that out. We began the night

378
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: with Mark Cuban, who put out on social media that

379
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: the NBA as an organization should embrace a number of

380
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: teams not trying to win. No. Cuban has been fined

381
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: more than anyone in NBA history for tanking, so he

382
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about tanking. He no longer

383
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: owns the Dallas Mavericks. He's like a bit owner in it.

384
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: He's like the number one fanboy for the Dallas Mavericks.

385
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: But he does believe that you, the consumer of pro

386
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: bouncy ball, do not care about who wins, and you

387
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: don't mind tanking, and you just want to go see

388
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: the hot cheerleaders and the mascot dunk and the woman

389
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: on the tricycle of balancing plates at halftime. That's all

390
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: you care about. And you don't really care, and that's it,

391
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: and that's you've never cared. According to Mark Cuban, this

392
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: is a man that owned an NBA team. He speaks

393
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: for the owners and that's what he believes. Eight seven

394
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox Later on this hour, we

395
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: will do the Dougie if you will. Late Night drug

396
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: Tester writs and says, if Mark Cuban wants to be

397
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: once the fans rather to embrace an experience, they should

398
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: forget the NBA and invest their time in Bennie Versus

399
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: the Penny. Only two hundred and one days until new

400
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: episodes of Bennie Versus the Penny? And where will those

401
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: new episodes be developing? Hot dot dot dot. We'll see

402
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: where they end up. Ya feeme in shit, Cogo writes,

403
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: and he says, Hey, Mallard, a plus and a glazon

404
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: raisin anti Ann's pretzel. On the Mallard monologue, I applaud

405
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: ripping pro bouncy ball and the Nordic Alien Commissioner. All right,

406
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: very good. And Joe the ghost Hunter says, can I

407
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: get a birthday shout out from my favorite gas bag? No, Joe,

408
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: I cannot cannot wish you a happy birthday. If you

409
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: want to contact me on cameo, I will be more

410
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: than happy to do that. But we do not do shadows.

411
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: We are not a morning zoom show. We are an

412
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: overnight show, and as an overnight show, we can't He

413
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: doesn't work anywhere, so we can't do We can't do

414
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: birthday shoutous. We're unable to do that. I hope you

415
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: understand it's nothing personal. If we were a morning show,

416
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: we would have a little segment where we'd have all

417
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: the sound effects and we'd wish you a happy birthday.

418
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,439
Speaker 1: And I think you have a better chance to Joe

419
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: the ghost Hunter, of having an actual Poultergeist wish you

420
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: a happy birthday. I think the Poultergeist crowd would wish

421
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: you a happy birthday. We just cannot do it. We

422
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: cannot do it, and I certainly will not wish you

423
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: a happy birthday. If I ever meet you at the

424
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: Ohio mallor meet and greet, which will be coming up

425
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: later this year, we will not We will not have

426
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: any kind of celebration. It will not happen. Supermarket. Steve

427
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: writes in from so Cow. He says, Hey, Mallard, I'm

428
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: wondering why none of those reporters felt like asking Jalen Brown,

429
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: if you thought you didn't need a permit for your

430
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: function in Beverly Hills, why did you apply for one

431
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: in the first place. Yes, Steve, I listen, he's not

432
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: from here, Jalen Brown. They do things much differently in

433
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. It's a little bubble. They keep it a bubble.

434
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: They keep the riff raft out of Beverly Hills because

435
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: you actually have to follow the rules. Most of southern California,

436
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: you can poop on the street and pee wherever you want.

437
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. They don't care. In fact, the mayor

438
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: of La embraces it, and the whole city burns down.

439
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: She goes to Africa or whatever. But in Beverly Hills,

440
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: it's a little different. It's just a little bit different.

441
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: They actually have rules. They follow the rules, and that's amazing.

442
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: The streets are nice and all that. And so Jaylen

443
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: Brown felt like he was the victim. I guess, I

444
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: guess that's what he felt like. And so he played

445
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: the victim card from the bottom of the deck and

446
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: that works well. It works well on social media to

447
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: play the victim. Didn't He actually say that too, like

448
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: he felt like La was attacking him because he was

449
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: on a rival team. Yeah, I'm sure the cops in

450
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills care. Yeah, I'm sure Bobby and Florida says

451
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: the new NBA slogan embraced last place. He says, that's

452
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: key lin Pie, Bobby in Florida and Josh as those

453
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 1: teams tanking need to get the Willy Wonka notice rest

454
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: in peace. Gene Wilder JJ from Renton writes, and he

455
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: said the NBA is garbage. Bring back the SuperSonics and

456
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey. Well, I'm hearing for years that the Sonics

457
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 1: are going to come back. The SuperSonics will be back.

458
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: We've been waiting. We're not getting any younger. Fat Daddy

459

Speaker 1: rites and who's your daddy? Fat Daddy writes in he

460
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: says Big Ben a great opening monologue as always. Mark Cuban,

461
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: I think he's on too many sharp tranquilizers. If they

462
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 1: are going to encourage tanking, they are going to have

463
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,959
Speaker 1: to make the ticket prices tank. Well Cuban did make,

464
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: and he said the Mavericks had some really cheap ticket prices.

465
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: He said, like under five dollars. And he said they

466
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: stopped doing that because people were scalping him. God forbid,

467
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: somebody try to make a buck on the Dallas Mavericks.

468
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: They do. They don't want that, They don't want that

469
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: at all. Yaphimi says Adam Silver in true form. Who

470
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: else do we have? Ian says, thank god you got

471
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: the phones working again for the callers. I didn't want

472
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: to miss ask a weed man, Well, that was yesterday.

473
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: I feel like that's twenty four hours late. We did

474
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: ask a weed man yesterday, and then he misspelled the

475
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: hollering James name and says, hollering James is in the

476
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: lead for Caller of the Year. Now, that would be

477
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: a massive upset of hollering. James is the caller of

478
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: the year, the most coveted prize in all of overnight

479
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: talk radio, and James hollering James wins Caller of the Year.

480
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: That would make him an enemy of Marcel. Should be

481
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: a shocking, shocking development, is what it would be. Doc

482
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: Dan says, one of these days I may have to

483
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: pick up the hand set here and dial the show. Well,

484
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: don't get crazy now, Clint writes in from Parts Unknown,

485
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: and he is thirty years a got a mechanical. He's

486
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: a mechanic, professional mechanic. So that's you need your something fixed,

487
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: you'll fix it. Clint says, tanking is like going to

488
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: chuck e cheese thinking you're the lone ranger, then realizing

489
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: you're the tupperware on the lazy Susan that never gets used. Well,

490
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: that's a great tribute to the Malard modelogue. We thank you,

491
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: thank you, for that not a burner, says Anthony and

492
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: Louisiana could not wait for Lorena. He has too much

493
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: love to give and just sit idly and wait. So

494
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: I guess he's moved on there. Anthony, Andy in Line Lakes, Minnesota, says,

495
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: a good opening model like his grade. He says, the

496
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: Timberwolves did this for the first twenty five years. This

497
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: is nothing new, mister Cuban. All right, to the phones

498
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: we go, and in the leadoff chair we go now

499
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: to Arizona, and we go to Tucson, Arizona for Mike

00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: Welcome, heyde man, how'd you do it?

502
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a wildcat, but

503
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 1: not an Arizona Wildcat. Well, actually they're not bad this year,

504
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: they're pretty good. So maybe I would be an Arizona Wildcat.

505
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: But a man.

506
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter until the tournament another month ago here, then

507
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: it matters.

573
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: Vicky and Vegas vic were like the mascots when back

574
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: when the mob ran Vegas and you didn't have to

575
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: pay for parking. They treated their customers with a spect

576
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: in Vegas back in those days, not like it is

577
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: now where they rip you off. So I did want

Speaker 1: to spend a couple of minutes. I'll do old guy radio.

579
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: I want to do old guy radio. Give me a

580
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: couple of minutes old guy radio. Doug Mo is dead.

581
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: Doug mo was an NBA coach. I got into the

582
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: NBA as a young lad. Doug actually had just stopped

583
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: becoming he was He was a head coach of the

584
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets When I started was the first year after

585
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: Doug Moo stopped coaching in the NBA. He then came

586
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: back to the NBA as an assistant coach. He was

587
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: lived a great life, checked out at age eighty seven

588
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: there and he was a pretty good player I heard.

589
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: I was way before my time. Played at North Carolina

590
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: under Dean Smith, the legendary Dean Smith. There was an

591
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: All American in college. But what I remember about Doug

592
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 1: moh and this was really that generation of mom and

593
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: pop ownership. In the NBA. You had a bunch of

594
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: disheveled coaches that looked like they should be driving a

595
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: taxi somewhere back when they had taxis, right. You had

596
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: Doug mo in Denver. Frank Layden was the coach of

597
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz. Don Nelson coached a bunch of NBA

598
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: teams and these guys were all bedraggled. Like these NBA

599
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: teams have twenty coaches now. They had one coach and

600
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe two assistant coaches when those guys were were coaching.

601
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: But these were great characters. We don't really do you

602
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: have much of that anymore because everything's so corporate in sports.

603
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: The great characters. I'm very happy that I got to

604
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: experience that. And a lot of it was baseball, mostly

605
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: baseball managers like Tommy Lis Sorda and Earl Weaver and

606
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: Loop Panela and people Billy Martin, people like that that

607
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: were characters. But basketball coaches were also cares of Football

608
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: coaches were great characters. Everyone's so robotic these days, it's

609
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: it's quite disappointing. But Doug Moll was a great character.

610
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: There's a famous story about Doug Mo. He hated flying, like,

611
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: couldn't stand. Now he had to fly because the job

612
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: required you to fly. Yeah, yeah, you could not stand flying,

613
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: but you flew a lot as and you flew commercial

614
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: flights back before the everyone got spoiled in pro sports.

615
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: They still complained, but they'd fly commercial flights. And the

616
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: legendary story and I don't know if this is true

617
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: or not, but the story was told to me and

618
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: then was repeated and all that stuff. So he was flying,

619
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: did not Doug Mo, former old time Nuggets coach. And

620
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: there was an incident on a plane where he was

621
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: introduced to someone on a plane and the person joked

622
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: that Doug Mo must be the student in the group.

623
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: And Mo shot back to this person and said, what

624
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: are you a wise guy? That person turned out to me. Now,

625
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: this was before he became who he became. But Richard Nixon,

626
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: the provincial president of the United States, and Doug bows

627
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: what are you a wise guy? And well, the way

628
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:33,240
Speaker 1: that went, some would say he was a wise pretty

629
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: good and Denver great with Doug Moe's coach at home,

630
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: that incredible home record, and he always would call people

631
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: he'd compete against stiffs, but that was a sign of respect.

632
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: He said that the Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan Jordan,

633
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: and he'd say, a bunch of stiffs and all that.

634
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: But again, just a great character. And so rest in peace.

635
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: Doug mo a life well lived, longtime coach of the

636
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,760
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, and passes away at the age of eighty seven.
