- 2:17Speaker 1: us that are night people daylighting yesterday and Nature White
- 2:20Speaker 1: was able to hear hear that he's back with us
- 2:22Speaker 1: today as well.
- 2:23Speaker 2: And college basketball.
- 2:26Speaker 1: Yeah, doing this thing here, another full day of collegiate basketball.
- 2:33Speaker 1: We will talk about that as we work our way
- 2:34Speaker 1: through the rest of this hour, but I'm not going
- 2:38Speaker 1: to lead with that. There's a story that I don't
- 2:40Speaker 1: don't bear the lead. I find this story fascinating and
- 2:44Speaker 1: I think you'll agree that it's out of pro bouncy ball.
- 2:49Speaker 2: So bear with me. Oh pro bouncy ball, what do
- 2:51Speaker 2: you doing?
- 2:52Speaker 1: But we have a new owner coming to the NBA,
- 2:55Speaker 1: and oh who cares whatever? It's some aristocrat, another rich guy.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Most of these owners end up buying the teams when
- 3:05Speaker 1: they're in their sixties because they're like, I'm in like
- 3:07Speaker 1: the not the final chapter of my life, but I've
- 3:10Speaker 1: made enough money, I've worked long enough. I just want
- 3:13Speaker 1: the ultimate status symbol. When I go to the Hamptons
- 3:16Speaker 1: or South Beach or Beverly Hills, I want everyone to
- 3:20Speaker 1: come up to me because I own Team X. So
- 3:23Speaker 1: if you didn't hear about this, perhaps not the Boston Celtics,
- 3:27Speaker 1: the winningest franchise in the NBA. The Boston Celtics, their
- 3:31Speaker 1: ownership group, has agreed to sell the team to someone named.
- 3:35Speaker 2: William Chisholm, who goofed. I don't let me check my
- 3:42Speaker 2: big board of oligarchs.
- 3:45Speaker 1: So this guy is the managing director and co founder
- 3:49Speaker 1: of something called Symphony Technology Group. The price tag on
- 3:55Speaker 1: the Celtics six point one bill dollars with a big
- 4:03Speaker 1: so the deal was announced in the last twenty four hours.
- 4:07Speaker 1: A group of investors buying the Celtics, led by William Chisholm.
- 4:13Speaker 1: The franchise being sold by Irving, who actually owns the
- 4:16Speaker 1: team and is his kid, Wick Grossbeck, who's been really
- 4:19Speaker 1: the face of the Celtics ownership group. And so it
- 4:23Speaker 1: is the largest sale of a North American sports franchise,
- 4:28Speaker 1: believed to be the largest sale in the world.
- 4:30Speaker 2: For any sports franchise.
- 4:31Speaker 1: From what I was reading, the previous record was held
- 4:34Speaker 1: by the NFL's Washington Redskins slash Commanders last year. So
- 4:40Speaker 1: the sale, here's the thing, though it does not include
- 4:43Speaker 1: the garden.
- 4:44Speaker 2: It is owned.
- 4:46Speaker 1: That arena is owned by the Boston Bruins, and the
- 4:49Speaker 1: Celtics have a lease that runs through twenty thirty five,
- 4:53Speaker 1: so they got another ten ten years on that lease
- 4:57Speaker 1: to play at the arena. There's been a lot of
- 4:59Speaker 1: chatter that they're going to leave that arena and build
- 5:03Speaker 1: a arena somewhere out in the suburbs, which will likely
- 5:07Speaker 1: not go over very well. Not a lot of available
- 5:10Speaker 1: land in Boston proper, all right, So let us discuss
- 5:12Speaker 1: the question can you put the record breaking six point
- 5:18Speaker 1: one billion dollars sale price of the Celtics into the context.
- 5:23Speaker 2: Of this conversation.
- 5:25Speaker 1: So I've got good housekeeping, cockpit and chess, and we
- 5:32Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 5:35Speaker 1: gonna make the Gabba goool. We're gonna make the Gaba goool.
- 5:40Speaker 1: All right, So to lead off, this is a great
- 5:44Speaker 1: day if you're rich, if you're Richie rich, you're now
- 5:49Speaker 1: Richie Richie rich, if you know what I mean. The
- 5:52Speaker 1: NBA owners, the one percenters who own these NBA teams,
- 5:56Speaker 1: are strutting around like peacocks.
- 5:58Speaker 2: All right. This always happens.
- 6:02Speaker 1: Right, anytime a team is sold for a record amount.
- 6:05Speaker 1: But this is next level, right And by the way,
- 6:09Speaker 1: Peacock is also going to be a TV partner of
- 6:11Speaker 1: the NBA next season. It is a massive overpay, massive
- 6:18Speaker 1: overpay considering that no arena or ownership of a team
- 6:25Speaker 1: network is included. You're not, as we said, you're not
- 6:26Speaker 1: getting the arena of the Celtics plan.
- 6:28Speaker 2: They don't own it. They lease it.
- 6:30Speaker 1: And they own part of NBC Sports Boston, which is
- 6:36Speaker 1: my favorite TV station in Boston because it is the
- 6:39Speaker 1: home of the TV show Benny Versus the Penny. But
- 6:41Speaker 1: Wick Grossbeck and the family think about the investment here.
- 6:46Speaker 1: They they invested three hundred and sixty million dollars to
- 6:49Speaker 1: purchase the Celtics. The team has now been sold for
- 6:53Speaker 1: six point one billion.
- 6:55Speaker 2: That is a.
- 6:57Speaker 1: One thousand, five hundred and ninety four per sent profit.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Of course you gotta pay taxes and all that, but
- 7:04Speaker 1: this is a ginormous financial bonanza.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Is the word I will use for the.
- 7:10Speaker 1: For the owners, as everyone in the NBA is going
- 7:13Speaker 1: to see their franchise values go up. I said, well,
- 7:16Speaker 1: it's it's it's a unique situation because the Celtics are
- 7:19Speaker 1: at the very top of the food chain in the NBA.
- 7:22Speaker 2: But for the green team fan, it's complicated.
- 7:24Speaker 1: So like if you're a rich person, it's easy, but
- 7:26Speaker 1: if you're a fan, it's complicated.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Here's why. After a minutes.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Long Mallard deliberation, good housekeeping, as we understand it, the
- 7:38Speaker 1: Celtics were sold. The plan was made a couple of
- 7:41Speaker 1: years ago to sell the team. They they talked about
- 7:43Speaker 1: it about a year ago.
- 7:46Speaker 2: But the team was.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Sold because the Grosspec family simply does not want to
- 7:52Speaker 1: pay the bill, the luxury tax bill. The small market
- 7:58Speaker 1: I say that in air quotes all market NBA teams.
- 8:02Speaker 1: We're able to get together and change the by laws
- 8:05Speaker 1: of the NBA to try to screw over the teams
- 8:07Speaker 1: like the Celtics, the Clippers, the Lakers, the Knicks, who
- 8:10Speaker 1: spend a lot of money and so they have this
- 8:13Speaker 1: like like aprins, you know, and who can't get into
- 8:16Speaker 1: too much of that because my eyeballs will start bleeding.
- 8:19Speaker 1: But the Celtics are expected to have a four hundred
- 8:23Speaker 1: and forty five million dollars salary and tax penalties next season.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Now that's four hundred and forty.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Five million for a basketball team that has roughly fifteen
- 8:35Speaker 1: players on it, and the number likely will go above
- 8:40Speaker 1: five hundred million when they fill out the roster. So
- 8:44Speaker 1: the ownership changing of the guard here is not gonna
- 8:48Speaker 1: happen till twenty twenty eight. So my theory on this,
- 8:51Speaker 1: let me give you my hypothesis is that in the
- 8:55Speaker 1: transitional period, the gross Back family will be the bad
- 9:01Speaker 1: cop and they're gonna have to clean house a little bit. Now,
- 9:04Speaker 1: they're not gonna get rid of Jason Tatum, but Jalen
- 9:07Speaker 1: Brown bye bye, he's in danger. Average Al Horford. They're
- 9:13Speaker 1: gonna trim some of the excess, some of the really
- 9:18Speaker 1: unique features of this Celtic team, and those guys will
- 9:21Speaker 1: enter the transfer portal, and I would expect a reshuffling
- 9:25Speaker 1: of resources in Boston because he either get rid of
- 9:30Speaker 1: some of the big contracts now or you do it later.
- 9:34Speaker 2: And I would.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Assume the new owner wants to come in as like
- 9:37Speaker 1: the conquering hero, and he's from.
- 9:39Speaker 2: The Boston area.
- 9:40Speaker 1: And so if you have the outgoing ownership group rip
- 9:45Speaker 1: the team apart, then the new owner comes in there,
- 9:47Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, we'll all clean it up.
- 9:49Speaker 2: I'll clean up the mess. Good cop, bad cop? All
- 9:52Speaker 2: right now.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Furthermore, so, what happens next in the NBA after the
- 9:57Speaker 1: Celtic sale.
- 9:59Speaker 2: So I've figured this out.
- 10:01Speaker 1: I've looked at the timeline, I've looked at the map,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and there is a message coming out of the cockpit.
- 10:08Speaker 1: The message is flight attendants.
- 10:11Speaker 2: Prepare for takeoff. Prepare for takeoff, and this clears the
- 10:17Speaker 2: runway for takeoff. I'm talking about expansion. Can we say SuperSonics?
- 10:25Speaker 2: Can we say SuperSonics?
- 10:27Speaker 1: There have been blueprints under lock and key for a
- 10:31Speaker 1: while now. The tentative plan has been to bring back
- 10:35Speaker 1: the Seattle NBA franchise and Las Vegas.
- 10:39Speaker 3: Now.
- 10:39Speaker 1: I talked to somebody a while back that is connected
- 10:42Speaker 1: who believes that when Seattle does get the team back,
- 10:46Speaker 1: they will call it the SuperSonics that they're working out.
- 10:49Speaker 1: They've kind of worked out the tentative agreement between the
- 10:51Speaker 1: owners of the Thunder and they'll.
- 10:53Speaker 2: They'll work all that out or it has been tentatively
- 10:55Speaker 2: worked out.
- 10:56Speaker 1: We'll see if that happens or not Las Vegas, but
- 10:59Speaker 1: that will be the next phase. Now that the Celtics
- 11:03Speaker 1: sale is done. They've set this ungodly amount for the
- 11:06Speaker 1: Celtics at six point one billion, so now they can
- 11:10Speaker 1: add teams thirty one, team thirty two. We're talking about
- 11:13Speaker 1: three or four billion to get a seat at the
- 11:16Speaker 1: table to buy an NBA expansion team, and that's straight cash.
- 11:20Speaker 1: That money is divided to all the poverty franchises in
- 11:25Speaker 1: the NBA. Everyone gets a slice of the pie because
- 11:28Speaker 1: when you're an expansion team, they're gonna have to cut
- 11:31Speaker 1: up the league ride league wide revenue from media deals
- 11:35Speaker 1: in merch and those expansion teams will get a giant
- 11:39Speaker 1: check every year from being part of the paternal order
- 11:43Speaker 1: of the.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Cartel of Basketball.
- 11:46Speaker 1: It is also interesting to note that another one of
- 11:49Speaker 1: my guys who I text with pointed out that this
- 11:55Speaker 1: will set Lebron up because expansion is still going to
- 11:58Speaker 1: be several years away. So Lebron can play a couple
- 12:01Speaker 1: more years, and then he's got a piece of that
- 12:04Speaker 1: Finway Sports group and they want their tentacles in the
- 12:09Speaker 1: Vegas franchise, and so Lebron can be the point man
- 12:13Speaker 1: for that team.
- 12:13Speaker 2: And Seattle's a little more disjointed.
- 12:16Speaker 1: There's a lot of rich people, the costco groups in Seattle.
- 12:20Speaker 1: There's a lot of internet companies in Seattle. So we'll
- 12:22Speaker 1: see what happens with that. Now, last thing, speaking of Lebron,
- 12:28Speaker 1: A number of you idiots did you see Bronni did?
- 12:32Speaker 2: Were you? Did you see what Bronni did? Ranting?
- 12:35Speaker 1: And so there's no one was watching this because college
- 12:38Speaker 1: basketball is going on.
- 12:39Speaker 2: But the Lakers played the Bucks and.
- 12:43Speaker 1: Bronnie James had seventeen points on seven of ten shooting,
- 12:48Speaker 1: his greatest night in the NBA. Bronnie James seventeen points
- 12:54Speaker 1: and people celebrating this. Bronni's arrived, right, Brownie's arrived. Yeah,
- 13:01Speaker 1: I point this out. Bronnie James commented prior to the game.
- 13:04Speaker 1: He said, of all the criticism that he's gotten, he
- 13:07Speaker 1: said that you know, scrutiny and all that he gave
- 13:09Speaker 1: the money quote, he says, I see everything that people
- 13:12Speaker 1: are saying, and people think I'm an effing robot, like
- 13:16Speaker 1: I don't have any feelings or emotions.
- 13:20Speaker 2: So Bronnie James ranting.
- 13:22Speaker 1: About not being a robot amid all the criticism, Do
- 13:27Speaker 1: you have any empathy for Bronnie James after he scored
- 13:32Speaker 1: seventeen points in a regular season NBA game.
- 13:36Speaker 2: So I'll go first here, and I'm shaking my head. No.
- 13:41Speaker 1: My eyes are closed and I'm shaking my head no.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And I'm gonna get a headache if I keep doing this.
- 13:47Speaker 1: But this is one of the great shakedowns in the
- 13:51Speaker 1: history of the NBA. You can't rip Bronnie jamesy at
- 13:54Speaker 1: seventeen points. Do you want to bet Bronnie James played
- 13:58Speaker 1: twenty nine minutes fifty three seconds. You want to take
- 14:02Speaker 1: a guess what his plus minus was? He must have
- 14:05Speaker 1: had a good plus minus ready. He had seventeen points,
- 14:08Speaker 1: seven of ten shooting. He had five assists and a
- 14:13Speaker 1: few rebounds. Okay, reveal answers. Bronnie James playing twenty nine
- 14:21Speaker 1: minutes and fifty three seconds while he was on the court.
- 14:24Speaker 2: The Lakers were outscored.
- 14:27Speaker 1: By thirty six points in his greatest night in the NBA,
- 14:33Speaker 1: the team was outscored by almost forty points while he
- 14:35Speaker 1: was on the court. And dumb dumbs, these schmanders, Well,
- 14:41Speaker 1: Bronny was so good.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Come on, Bronni is the trophy.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Of Lebron, Lebron it's his masterpiece, right playing three D chess.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Bronnie James, He's just a pawn. He's just a pawn.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And Lebron strong arm, Genie Buss and Rob Polinka, and
- 15:02Speaker 1: they gave Bronnie James a four year contract for almost.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Eight million dollars.
- 15:08Speaker 1: And if you look at all the numbers across the board,
- 15:12Speaker 1: Bronnie James is in the bottom percentile in every category.
- 15:18Speaker 1: But he's got a guaranteed contract for four years because
- 15:21Speaker 1: his dad pulled up.
- 15:22Speaker 2: Doesn't I know.
- 15:22Speaker 1: It's not you know, other dads do the same thing
- 15:24Speaker 1: and all. It's just it wasn't supposed to be like that.
- 15:28Speaker 2: In the NBA, and it is. It is the Ben

- 19:52Speaker 1: I can't, I can't guarantee it, but I'll put you
- 19:54Speaker 1: on hold, and it's possible.
- 19:55Speaker 2: How about that, Foster.
- 19:57Speaker 3: I appreciate it. So, yeah, Ronnie James, you know I
- 20:01Speaker 3: have no empathy. I have no sympathy. I don't feel
- 20:03Speaker 3: bad for the kid because if it wasn't for him
- 20:05Speaker 3: being Lebron's kid, he wouldn't be a blip on the
- 20:08Speaker 3: raid on screen.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Well, he wouldn't be in the NBA right now. He was.
- 20:15Speaker 2: He was terrible in college and it would have had
- 20:18Speaker 2: to go to the minor leagues, to go to Europe
- 20:20Speaker 2: or something like that.
- 20:20Speaker 3: But what did he as seven points per game? In college?
- 20:25Speaker 2: Well, I think it was even worse than that. His
- 20:27Speaker 2: last year. He was a backup. His last year in
- 20:29Speaker 2: college he wasn't even a starter.
- 20:31Speaker 3: And he is a perfect case of getting what you
- 20:35Speaker 3: got because of somebody else.
- 20:37Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, And I know what happens in every
- 20:39Speaker 1: business and all that, but we were always taught, at
- 20:42Speaker 1: least I was that it was supposedly a meritocracy and
- 20:45Speaker 1: it was different and you earn it, you're not giving
- 20:48Speaker 1: it in basketball, and it also well that's all I was.
- 20:52Speaker 3: Brought up then, and you don't get it unless you
- 20:54Speaker 3: wear it.
- 20:55Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly exactly. But to be fair, I mean it
- 20:59Speaker 2: is a case. You see this all the time.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Mark, how many of these coaches and gms are the
- 21:04Speaker 1: sons of guys that coached or played in Like in football,
- 21:09Speaker 1: you got Kyle Shanahan his dad, Mike Shannan, you got
- 21:12Speaker 1: Sean McVay his grandfather was like some big shot for
- 21:16Speaker 1: the forty nine ers.
- 21:16Speaker 2: So it's like it happens whole the time. But this
- 21:19Speaker 2: was just like Blake but Blaye.
- 21:21Speaker 3: Mike Shanningan, Mike Shannahan was a good coach. And you
- 21:24Speaker 3: know what I think, so is Kyle.
- 21:28Speaker 2: Yeah he's done all right. Not in big games though
- 21:31Speaker 2: that had got so well for you.
- 21:33Speaker 1: Yeah all right, hold on a second, Mark, We'll see
- 21:35Speaker 1: if we can figure out how to get you on there.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Let's go to Andrea that we've had a crazy night.
- 21:39Speaker 1: There have been a lot of weird things. We thought
- 21:42Speaker 1: there might be some kind of cosmic event that we.
- 21:44Speaker 2: Don't know about.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Uh, I'm not sure, but let's check in with the
- 21:49Speaker 1: astrology lady of this.
- 21:50Speaker 2: We smoked her out, We got she was.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Gonna take a bath, and we we made sure she
- 21:54Speaker 1: called in here to give us the inside information. Is
- 21:58Speaker 1: there a cosmic event that we don't know about that
- 22:01Speaker 1: has paused the loony tones to call in here?
- 22:04Speaker 7: Yes, you know, Virgo and Service. When I heard that,
- 22:06Speaker 7: it's like, you know, I'm really there for my clients
- 22:09Speaker 7: and for you and your show, and it's like I'll
- 22:11Speaker 7: call in I'll put your mind at ease. And basically,
- 22:15Speaker 7: the full moon lunar eclipse, we feel it several days
- 22:18Speaker 7: before and several days after. So that said, we're still
- 22:22Speaker 7: feeling the energies of the full moon lunar eclipse. Just
- 22:26Speaker 7: it was March fourteenth, and that was Steph Curry's birthday.
- 22:29Speaker 7: He had the lunar eclipse on his son and Pisces
- 22:32Speaker 7: on his birthday. He just got injured. I don't know
- 22:34Speaker 7: if you heard that.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did see it.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Well, they said he had fatigued or he was tired
- 22:40Speaker 1: or something like that.
- 22:41Speaker 2: So we're still seven days.
- 22:42Speaker 7: Later, correct, We're still feeling it. And yesterday was the
- 22:48Speaker 7: well basically spring equinox, which is sun and aries, so
- 22:51Speaker 7: that gets a little impatient and things speed up. And
- 22:55Speaker 7: we have mercury retrograde, remember that, the little fly in
- 22:58Speaker 7: the ointment March fourteen to April seventh, And we also
- 23:03Speaker 7: have venus retrograde, which is a lot more rare, but
- 23:06Speaker 7: venus is how you relate to people and relationships and finances,
- 23:11Speaker 7: and that will be retrograde till the twelfth of April,
- 23:17Speaker 7: so we have about another month of that. So it's
- 23:20Speaker 7: been really tricky with a lot of planets retrograde, the
- 23:22Speaker 7: full moon lunar eclipse, so we have to give ourselves
- 23:26Speaker 7: kind of patients. We're still feeling the intense energies and
- 23:29Speaker 7: you know, it's just normal to kind of act out
- 23:31Speaker 7: and not quite know, you know, exactly what's going on.
- 23:35Speaker 2: Well, we have been, We've been feeling it.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Man, this is like a cosmic accident on this on
- 23:40Speaker 1: this show tonight.
- 23:41Speaker 2: It's been pretty crazy. So well, thank you for the
- 23:43Speaker 2: update and appreciate that. Get back to the bathtub. Okay,
- 23:46Speaker 2: oh yeah, go.
- 23:47Speaker 7: All on the journey together.
- 23:48Speaker 2: So's right care, All right there she is phenomenal.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Yet again, she never disappoints our friend Andrea, the astrology
- 23:56Speaker 1: lady from Berkeley. Let's let's say the Blind Scott emailed
- 24:02Speaker 1: me and said, I'm not calling. I spent thirty five

- 24:27Speaker 9: years back. He was like one of those tomato cans

- 30:44Speaker 5: I don't know what happened to him.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Miselle must be over in New Jersey with the famly.
- 30:49Speaker 5: So I'm going to very briefly talk about a couple
- 30:51Speaker 5: new movies that are out this weekend. And the reason
- 30:53Speaker 5: I'm going to say briefly is because I believe that
- 30:55Speaker 5: both of these movies are.
- 30:57Speaker 6: Going to be very bad.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Gosh.
- 31:00Speaker 6: Yeah. So the first one is, of course, Disney snow White.
- 31:04Speaker 5: There's been lots of controversy surrounding this movie and the
- 31:08Speaker 5: main character that plays snow White.
- 31:10Speaker 8: Uh.
- 31:11Speaker 5: The early reviews are not good, and I just I
- 31:13Speaker 5: don't I don't see people, uh people going to see this,
- 31:15Speaker 5: but who knows. I could be wrong. I'm interested to
- 31:17Speaker 5: see how it does. I won't be seeing it, well,
- 31:19Speaker 5: isn't Uh this is like the woke snow White.
- 31:22Speaker 2: It seems to me like even they are embarrassed by it. Now.
- 31:25Speaker 2: I guess they're trying to I heard, Yeah, they like complaining.
- 31:28Speaker 2: They're not promoting it.
- 31:29Speaker 5: They didn't do like a big red carpet, the kind
- 31:32Speaker 5: of thing that like they were going to do, And
- 31:33Speaker 5: I guess.
- 31:34Speaker 1: They didn't get the pulse of the people in America. Yeah,
- 31:36Speaker 1: looking for a woke snow White bad job by Mickey Mouse.
- 31:39Speaker 2: Huh.
- 31:40Speaker 6: Yeah, it should should be interesting to see how fame.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Will that be worse than when they remember the the
- 31:45Speaker 1: all female Ghostbusters was remember that?
- 31:48Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 31:49Speaker 6: That wasn't was that? I don't think that was Disney though,
- 31:51Speaker 6: but no, it wasn't.
- 31:52Speaker 2: But it was still a disaster.
- 31:53Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 31:54Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how much money they
- 31:55Speaker 5: lose on this. Another movie that is out this weekend,
- 31:59Speaker 5: and it's it's because I just saw the trailer for
- 32:01Speaker 5: this for the very first time, like last week, and
- 32:03Speaker 5: then it's already it's already out in theaters. It's the
- 32:06Speaker 5: latest Robert de Niro Mafia movie. It's called The Alto Knights,
- 32:11Speaker 5: and he plays two separate characters in this movie with
- 32:15Speaker 5: the use of prosthetics and whatnot, so he has a
- 32:17Speaker 5: lot of scenes with himself. The reviews are not good
- 32:22Speaker 5: early on. It's got a thirty eight percent right now
- 32:24Speaker 5: on Rotten Tomatoes. And one of my best friends already
- 32:28Speaker 5: saw the movie and he said, and I quote, that
- 32:32Speaker 5: was the most boring mob movie ever.
- 32:36Speaker 1: That's okay, Yes, I mean they've been I feel like
- 32:39Speaker 1: they stopped making good mob movies a while ago.
- 32:42Speaker 2: What was the last good mob show? The Sopranos.
- 32:44Speaker 6: That's not a movie that was just it yeah, I
- 32:47Speaker 6: mean last night.
- 32:48Speaker 2: That's a long time. That's like twenty years probably at least.
