  Speaker 2: We got a lot of soap to sell, and we
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: want to sell you the soap now this hour, we're
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: gonna change it up a little bit. It was the
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: pro Bouncy Ball trade deadline. The clock struck midnight. That
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: is our lead this hour. The NBA flea market is closed.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: We'll get back to the MVP conversation. Is Matthew Stafford
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: not Drake May. Matthew Stafford is your MVP. So pens down.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: The clock struck midnight on the NBA flea market. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: the story that everyone has been talking about, everyone yapping
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: about the great free Did you hear the news you
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: didn't hear the.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: New Okay, you didn't hear the news. Good.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: After months of chatter, months and months of chatter, the
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Milwaukee Bucks have made a decision.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They decided.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: To do nothing.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: They decided to stay pat.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Syke, Yeah, they're gonna hold on to giannisident to Cumbo
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: shortly after the news broke, and this is the story here,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the Bucks decided to reject all offers. And then shortly
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: after that, in an Instagram postident to Cumbo said, legends
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: don't chase, they attract.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Oh that cuts deep.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Alongside a foul clip of the iconic movie Wolf of
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Wall Street, where Leonardo DiCaprio's character says very passionately in
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: front of a bunch of other people.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: He's not leaving his job.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point as we
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: parts the words and a clip from an old movie
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: regarding Giannis dent to Cumbo. So let's discuss the question,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: how do you decode the buck star Jianis dentic Cumbo's
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: social media post saying legends don't chase, they attract and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: all of that. So how do you dec this with
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the Wolf of Wall Street flavor added? Just sprinkled on top,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: really more of a sprinkle, just sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle. So
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I've got Amish Village, three Musketeers, and sleeping Beauty's castle,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we are going to make some delicious and I mean
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: first class.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Can't beat at Fetichini Alfredo. That's the way to go,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So when I saw this from Yannis, I I chuckled.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I chuckled. I didn't laugh out loud, but I chuckled internally.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I was like, kind of, Oh, that's that's funny. That's
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: that's funny. That was my internal monologue, like the voice
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: in my head. So the Milwaukee Bucks opened up a
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: pop up tent at a swap meet. They put Giannis
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: on the auctioning block and say, well, it's a Greek freak,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: slightly used. It was won some awards, no refunds, all sales, final,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and then the Miami Heat came sniffing around. They were sniffing,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: and then the Golden State Wars they were window shopping.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: They liked what they saw. They liked what they saw.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The timber Walls were like, hey, you know, it's well
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the next state over. You know, we got a little rivalry.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Why why don't we bring him over to Minnesota?
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Whya?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: And nobody at this auction hit the reserve price. Nobody
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: hit the reserve price. No sale, no bueno. And now
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to believe that this was all part of
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: some I guess spiritual journey or something like that, Like
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: this wasn't It really wasn't the Wolf of Wall Street.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: It should have been a clip from Pond Stars. I'm sorry.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: The best I can do is nothing. I mean, that's
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: just the best I can do is just nothing. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: got nothing for you. For months, again, we had heard
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that at Denta Kombo was ready for a new home.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That was the reporting. Now suddenly, at the moment of truth,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: he's now the zen Master Giannis and he's still going
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to be in Wisconsin. He's hurt right now. Supposedly he's
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: still going to stay in Wisconsin. He's acting like this
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: is a spiritual growth situation. And in the cartoon bubble
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: he's in an Amish village and I believe it's rum Springer.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Uh the you know what the Amige do? Where the Yeah,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: it's like that. The Bucks said, all right, like the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: like the amage. The Bucks said, all let's do a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: rum Springer and go see the world kid, or at
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: least flirt with him, and then if you want to
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: come back, you can come back. And he came back
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: to the barn. And by the way, who who exactly?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: He mentioned he's going to attract people. Legends don't chase,
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: they attract. Who is he going to bring to wiscontent?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: He already did that. He got dame time, which turned
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: out to be a bad time for the Milwaukee Bucks.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: So now this is not over by any any means.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: The doors are closed for now because you can't trade anybody.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: The music has stopped, and.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: It's not it's closed, but it's not locked. How about
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: that it's still unlocked and we will revisit.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: This when we get to the summer.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, now, meanwhile, we go to Memphis, where
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the barbecue is good and the basketball is bad.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: The theme continued in the Home of the Blues. Yea,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the Home of the Blues. So if you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Had the Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant relocating.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You are a loser.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Jahn Morant ended up bunkering down in Tennessee past the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: NBA trade deadline, So no deal for jaw and the
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: question why couldn't why couldn't the Grizzlies find a new.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Home for Ja Moran?
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: All So, Ja Morant, a guy who I'm old enough
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: to remember when he came onto the scene was like
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this weird hybrid.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: He's got a little bit of Alan Irison.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Some Jordan tendencies, other great players, has the ability of
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: being a face of the NBA guy And now he's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: at a cross Now he's a mix of Kyle Lowry
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: and Bojan Bogdanovich at this at this point, he's.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Radioactive on the trademarkt Jah Morant.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: His market was absolutely lukewarm Minnesota.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: And Miami took one look and said that we're good.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: No thanks.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Even Sacramento couldn't pull it off. So these teams terrified
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: of what the three Musketeers of doom.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: It's the m A special. I call it the MIA special.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Money injury attitude, money injury attitude.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: He's not he's got a couple of years left.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And NBA plays with with funny money and all that.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: But eighty seven million, I think is the number that
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I saw on that massive contract he signed with the Grizzlies.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: So who's picking up the mortgage on that? He's not
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: worth that money?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Now? He's not.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: He's fragile, and that's the problem. Twenty games this year,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I believe is the number. And another injury UCL sprain
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: in his elbow, and at this point, Ja Moran is
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: like a high end rolex that doesn't actually tell time.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Well it's not a rollers Well it says Rolex on it,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't tell time. Why does it not tell time?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, But it says rollics on it, so
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: it should tell time. It looks beautiful from a distance,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: you know, on your on your wrist or whatever, but
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you're still late because it doesn't tell time. And it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: it's the baggage. Also like the air guns, the imaginary
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: hand grenades, all very entertaining, the suspensions, the not listening
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: to your coach, the behavioral nonsense, all that stuff. So
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: his value shockingly low and nobody, nobody is giving up
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: premium assets for a head case with a bum wing
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that is not happening. So he's not worth a bag
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: of delicious soft pretzels. I would rat at this point
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: today we do the show today, I would tonight. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: would rather have a bag of delicious soft pretzels that
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: you just put in the air fryer for a little
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: bit and they come out just marvelous. That's what I
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: would want. That's what I want all right now. The
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: last word. We did have a trade of note, as
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: my former colleague Eddi Garcia, was a trade of note
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Indianapolis we go and the trade the last big deal, last.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Big deal before the trade deadline ended.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: The Pacers who absolutely blow this year. The Indiana Pacers
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: have acquired Evitza Zubots, the center from the People's Team
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: no more.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: The Clippers said bye bye to Zubots.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: And in exchange they got Benedict matherin, a fine Canadian
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: lad Isaiah Jackson, I have no idea who that is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And two first round picks whoop dam do and one
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: second round pick.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: So all you idiots that were complaining about, oh the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Clippers have no draft picks, Oh my god. Oh now
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: they got draft picks. Whoopy dam do. That's so good, right,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I'm so happy.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Uh So, question, how did you grade the Pacers trade
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of Iviza Zubats to the Indiana Pacers?
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: How do you grade this trade between the Pacers and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the Clippers.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: So we always go to the Mallord report card, we
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: always go to the Malor report card. And I'm gonna
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: give on my report card, i give Indiana a B
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: plus and I'm gonna give the Clippers a C. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm being generous because I had a nice lunch,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna I'm gonna be generous the Clippers. They
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: didn't just give up like it appears they folded the tent.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: The Clippers had a chance to make the playoffs after
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a historically bad start, and they've de said, well, we.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Don't really want that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: And my theory is because James Harden didn't want to
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: be there anymore, and so then that there was a
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: trickle down economics thing where Harden didn't want to be there.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: They got rid of Harden and so then, okay, well
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Harden's not there. We're pretty much, you know, we're cooked.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So let's get rid of Zubots and so they did.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: But Zubats doesn't go to a content and he is
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: not a contender. They suck this year. They're terrible, all right.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: So the Clippers gave up. I don't want my teams
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: to give up. I'm not happy about that. You know,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I haven't really been watching much anyway, because they're pretty bad.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: But they packed up the cooler, they put everything in
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the station wagon. They left the campsite and the fire
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: was still burning. They said, let somebody else put it out.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: And again this is collateral damage because of the Beard
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: who's like, I don't want to be in LA and
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: all that stuff. So Zubots, he's a legit NBA center.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: He's not a star. I'm not gonna sit here and
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: tell you behind the very powerful microphones of Fox Sports
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Radio that in any way Zubots is a star.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: He's not.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: He's not a stiff though, he's a solid, dependable player.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: He's like a I hate saying blue collar because these
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: guys are filthy rich.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But that's what we used to say back in the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: day before everyone was filthy rich.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Like he's that kind of player.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: He'll set screens occasionally, he'll protect the rim, and he'll
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: always be there. And it's pretty obvious that this was
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: a move where the for the Indiana paces where they
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: they got cooked by Miles Turner who bolted town.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, Myles Turner's not gonna go anywhere. Well,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: yeah he did.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: He left, and so you had nothing in the middle,
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: and he had open spot on your BNGO card.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And so this is a move not for this year
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: because this year is over, it's a move for next
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: year now on a tablet.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, games are not played on a tablet, but on
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: a tablet, Zubots fits perfectly next to Tyrese Halliburton, pick
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and roll, dunk, repeat the whole thing.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the Clippers are at Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle tossing
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: gold coins into a wishing well with the these.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Draft picks, and they're betting that they can.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Develop Benedict Mathern and he'll turn out to be a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: functional NBA player.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: And I don't even know this Isaiah Jackson guy.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: But Zubots to the Clippers got from the Lakers. He
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: was when they got I was like, well, who cares.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: The Lakers were terrible at the time they got Zubots
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and he became something with the Clippers, so they're like, well,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: we can do this, but that's not a road to
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: long term success getting meybe one of these guys turns
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: out to be good. I don't care about draft picks.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I lived through years of terrible draft picks. I don't
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: need that. So it's not really a plan. It's like
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: a seance, right you're trying to connect to the other side.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: So the Clippers, they're not they're in this weird vacuum
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: because they're not contenders right now. You don't trade two
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: of your top players and say you're contender.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: You're not. They're not pretenders though they're in the middle.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And the word I got.

  Speaker 2: Kawhi is not happy, and when kawhi' is not happy,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Kawhi raises a hullaballoo.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: That's my word. He didn't use the word hullabaloo.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think anyone else uses the word hullabaloo, but

• 18:16
  Speaker 2: word hullabaloo. It's a fun word. I like fun words.

  Speaker 8: my mom's tribe, like you the way it is, and like,

• 30:16
  Speaker 6: like he this is the thing with the trade deadline
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: and all these things that's happening. All these people are trying.
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: To get their money.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: And it's kind of weird because like these players and stuff. Now,
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: like there's so many teams tanking and just doing all
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: these type of things. Like even a d was on
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: ad was on Dallas and now he's on the Wizards.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: And James Harden, you know, he did fishing for stuff
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: at this point, Like.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Isn't it isn't this bad for the product though, that
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: all these teams are tanking and not trying.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: It's terrible, Like you gotta he justidd about.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: I love when you talk about the NBA, though, like
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: you don't.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I like a lot. I'm always love you. Listen, cej
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I love the NBA.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: I covered I was around the NBA back you know
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: for years. I was there every night. I love the NBA.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: The product is so bad during the regular season. When
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the playoffs come around, I'll talk about it more because
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: they'll actually be trying when the playoffs come around.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: But it's it's hard, CJ.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Man, I really I would if they actually cared about
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the regular season, I would be into it.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I'd be all about it. But they're not. They're not
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: into it, and you know that's the that's the.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Problem, man, that's it's frustrating because I saw in my life.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you are, but when in my
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: life I saw when they care. These guys took pride
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: in the regular season, and it's completely gone the other direction.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: And part of the problem is Adam Silver encouraged it
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: for like ten years.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: He's like, I don't worry about it. You're fine.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Now, loam, and yeah, well that was that was it?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: CJ.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Like that was load management was like the thing, right
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: because he he said, oh yeah, it's okay. You know
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the funniest thing about that. For ten years, the NBA
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: is like, oh, load management's fine. And then all of
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: a sudden, when they realized people will not watching on
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: television as much and they were they could lose some
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: money and advertisers were upset all of a sudden, oh yeah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the science has changed. And I was like, okay, it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: never a good idea anyway, and.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: It sounds that you go to a game and you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: you're the players who want to watch. It's not there.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: He's not playing, but not that he's actually hurt. He's resting.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: He's resting or something like that. It's like, come on, dude.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: And in the old days, it's not like they didn't
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: rest in the old days, but they would at least
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: play a few minutes, so you got to see him.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: You know, they play like maybe a quarter or half
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: a game. They don't even do that these days. It's
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: like they're not playing at all. So anyway, thank you, CJ,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: the Great CJ. Look at he wants more NBA talk,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: and I normally don't get people asking for more hot
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: NBA talk. Let's go to Josh in Orlando, who wants
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: to talk about the people seeing Hello Josh in Orlando, Welcome, what's.
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: Up bench, Good morning man. Hey, So you know I've
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: been unlike you, have been a Clipper fan for twenty
• 32:58
  Speaker 10: five years. I mean, they're all the regime with help
• 33:00
  Speaker 10: the brands, thank the Seal and all that crap, and
• 33:03
  Speaker 10: and uh now you know, just there's really nothing that
• 33:06
  Speaker 10: we're back to, you know, kind of square one. Nothing
• 33:09
  Speaker 10: to get excited about a game. But the lathing is
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: different so that we don't have doll Sterling. So I
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: don't really know where they're going with this, you know.
• 33:16
  Speaker 10: So it's just kind of like sit back and you know,
• 33:18
  Speaker 10: go through the motions. So I feel like how you
• 33:20
  Speaker 10: are right now, you know, right along with it?
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: It is you know, yeah, it's it's it's it's suppressing.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: I do agree with you though, Balmer. I know, he
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: lost a ton of money the other day because Microsoft
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: stock went in the toilet, but he's still richer than rich,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: so he's not going to allow them to get to
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: the levels of despair.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: They got to back with Donald Sterling. They're not going
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: to get that bad.
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: But there is a silver lining, you know. Sometimes the
• 33:46
  Speaker 10: Clippers are doing bad. You got a lot of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: Lakers because the Lakers are cursed. Man, what happened to
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: Luca last night? You got Austin come back. Now you
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: got Luca hurt. So now they have a revolving door
• 33:55
  Speaker 10: of the you know, the big three that's getting hurt.
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: So and they're oh, their GM sucks, you know, and
• 34:00
  Speaker 10: that makes it feel better. But have a good way man,
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: all right?
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, it's good.
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: But the problem is the Dodgers owners that are coming in,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: so that means all the Lakers will sign guys with
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: they'll be paying guys in like twenty ninety, you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I mean deferred money till twenty ninety like the Dodgers do.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: It'll be what's going I.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Wonder if I say, is gonna do Laker talk, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: and suck up to the Lakers the way he does
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers.

• 36:29
  Speaker 2: first time MVP in history, thirty seven years, three hundred
• 36:33

  Speaker 2: America Major League Baseball, NBA, NFL, and NHL.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: That is the question. What is the answer? And listen?
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Does anyone else know?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Shanon des Moines going with Tyson Fury Debtlive Shrimp guest by?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Was that Chaine? Also? Who else do we see? Page nine?
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Things are a little slow on the X machine tonight.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: Let's see Captain Kangaroo. Oh that was salsa for the
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: for the who am I? I guess we can use some
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: of these as well.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Is it very slow tonight?
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: They're coming in, but they're trickling and late. I got fine,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: we won't read any dumb answers. Then the correct answer.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: The oldest first time MVP in all the major sports
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: leagues still Willie Stargel. Pops Willie Stargel for the Pittsburgh
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Pirates we are family in nineteen seventy nine, was thirty
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: nine years old in two hundred and eight days, and
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: he was the oldest first time MVP.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: I think something's wrong with your Twitter feed?
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Is it is yours working?
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, i'd see a bunch of answers.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: But oh, maybe it's mine. I'm not getting I'm not
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: getting much on mine.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: It must be slow. I don't know anyway.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: The correct answer is Willy Stargel and Dennis Eckersley is
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the second oldest all time. Stafford is number three all
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: time and that leads us in two.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: It's maller how about that to the third degree. This
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: is one big vent gets grilled.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: All right? Coop a loop?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: Packers GM Brian Gudakunz told reporters on Wednesday that.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: The team pronunciation coop. That's a very dangerous name.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: It is so thank you.
• 38:27
  Speaker 11: The team is probably losing Malik Willis as Jordan loves backup,
• 38:30
  Speaker 11: as he is likely heading to a team that will
• 38:32
  Speaker 11: give him a chance to compete for a starting job, Ben,
• 38:34
  Speaker 11: could you see him starting anywhere?
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's better than Kyler Murray. I would rather have
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: him than Kyler Murray as a starter. There's a job
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: that'll be open up there.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is a possibility.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: He showed enough.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Malik Willis, he was terrible when he first started with
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: the Titans, but he showed enough with somebody will give.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Him a shot.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: He's like low risk, high reward and it's a kind
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: of a big position, so it'd be the usual five
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: or six quarter changes this year. The Jets are another possibility.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't wish that out of my worst enemy.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Next.
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: I'm actually stunned by that answer. I was not expecting
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: With Jalen Brunson's huge performance against the Nuggets on Wednesday,
• 39:11
  Speaker 11: the Knicks have extended their win streak to eight games.
• 39:14
  Speaker 11: Only the Pistons are ahead of them in the Eastern Conference.
• 39:16
  Speaker 11: Is this finally the year that we take the Knicks
• 39:18
  Speaker 11: seriously as championship contenders?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: No, they have Mike Brown as their coach. Come on,
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: that's his place, and I want to see it in
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, and it's all prologue. Check back in April,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: and let's see, we're in February. It's early February. It's
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: see how it goes in April next.
• 39:33
  Speaker 11: So Tarik's scooball shattered the record for arbitration deal here
• 39:40
  Speaker 11: last picture that you know, the highest.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: One was nineteen thirty million.
• 39:45
  Speaker 11: Yeah, he gets thirty two million, guy, Yes, David Price
• 39:49
  Speaker 11: was the previous highest pitcher at nineteen. Juan Soto was
• 39:52
  Speaker 11: the highest position player at thirty one. It's because of
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: a clause in the league. Do you think they're going
• 39:57
  Speaker 11: to try and remove that clause? He gets treated like
• 39:59
  Speaker 11: a free agent basically.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, are the Are the owners gonna, you know, try
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: to get rid of that? Of course, I mean anything
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to protect them. But it's it's wild man before cy
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: young guy's never got this guy or players in arbitration.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: How do we do? Copolo?
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: You pass this edition?
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: That is a putter on the board. I want another win.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: I can't believe
