- 3:06Speaker 1: We are going to begin here this hour.
- 3:08Speaker 2: With Lebron Watch as the world turns another new deep
- 3:14Speaker 2: state theory on the great delay from King James.
- 3:19Speaker 1: So we're hearing.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Now the chatter, the chatter that Lebron James delayed announcing
- 3:26Speaker 2: his free agent destination, his decision.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Why why?
- 3:31Speaker 2: Because he's annoyed, He's irritated. Who's he upset with? Is
- 3:36Speaker 2: he upset with you?
- 3:37Speaker 4: No?
- 3:37Speaker 1: He doesn't know who you are? Is he upset with me?
- 3:39Speaker 2: No?
- 3:40Speaker 1: He has no idea who I am?
- 3:42Speaker 2: No, no, no, Lebron is on the war path against the
- 3:47Speaker 2: big Kahuna of bouncy Ball, half man, half alien, NBA
- 3:52Speaker 2: Commissioner Adam Silver. What she is? Now, this is the
- 3:58Speaker 2: latest theory from the deep State. It's Adam Silver. Public
- 4:02Speaker 2: comments have backfired and they've annoyed the Holy One. So
- 4:08Speaker 2: if you didn't hear about this, perhaps not, maybe not.
- 4:09Speaker 2: The theory goes like this. We'll keep it simple. It's
- 4:12Speaker 2: not that hard. It's overnight talk radio. Lebron's camp or
- 4:15Speaker 2: his posse was ready to make an announcement. Lebron James
- 4:20Speaker 2: had picked his team, and then while he was at
- 4:24Speaker 2: that price gouging fan fest thing in New York last week, he.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Changed his mind. Not that he change the team he
- 4:33Speaker 1: wants to play for.
- 4:34Speaker 2: However, he was upset with Adam Silver and his commentary.
- 4:40Speaker 2: The commissioner said the NBA schedule announcement for Marquee Games
- 4:45Speaker 2: was delayed. The TV networks would not would not approve
- 4:49Speaker 2: the schedule. They were waiting on Lebron. So Adam Silver's like, hey,
- 4:54Speaker 2: we like Lebron to sign soon, so we can release
- 4:56Speaker 2: the schedule now. Silver's remarks did not sit well with
- 4:59Speaker 2: lebron posse and that led to some pushback and intentionally
- 5:07Speaker 2: slowing the timeline rather rather than announce a decision immediately.
- 5:13Speaker 2: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
- 5:16Speaker 2: discuss this is now two days in a row Lebron conspiracies.
- 5:19Speaker 2: We had Dufus mclufus from the Miami Heat who accidentally
- 5:26Speaker 2: clicked the wrong button and posted the video link to
- 5:31Speaker 2: a Lebron. Welcome back to Miami News conference. Now we've
- 5:33Speaker 2: got this latest chapter Lebron's waiting as its payback. So
- 5:37Speaker 2: the question is Lebron James sending a message to Adam
- 5:43Speaker 2: Silber by dragging this free agent decision out?
- 5:46Speaker 1: Do you believe the.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Commentary that's being whispered in hush tones about Lebron? So
- 5:53Speaker 2: my observations, I've got El Presidente, Dragon Fruit, and Smoky Bear,
- 6:00Speaker 2: and we'll combine all of these things together. We'll put
- 6:06Speaker 2: them all together, and we're gonna climb the corporate ladder
- 6:09Speaker 2: because we are at the very bottom of the Fox
- 6:11Speaker 2: corporate ladder here doing the overnight show.
- 6:13Speaker 1: So number one one, what what what?
- 6:17Speaker 5: What?
- 6:19Speaker 1: Heading on all cellars?
- 6:20Speaker 2: So absolutely is Lebron sending a message to Adam silver
- 6:24Speaker 2: by dragging his free ag decision out? Absolutely, Welcome to
- 6:27Speaker 2: the annual, Lebron reminds the league, who sets the tempo,
- 6:34Speaker 2: who wears the pants, It's a ritual when Lebron's contract
- 6:38Speaker 2: is up. Now, Lebron thinks the world revolves around him
- 6:43Speaker 2: as he is the reigning President Dente of his own
- 6:49Speaker 2: fan club, and he has this song playing on the boombox.
- 6:53Speaker 2: There Carly Simon's You're So Vain playing on repeat, over
- 6:57Speaker 2: and over and over. And Silver didn't even cross the line.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Here's the great part about this, or it's not rocket science.
- 7:03Speaker 2: Adam Silver did not cross the line. He just stated
- 7:06Speaker 2: the rather obvious position of the NBA. It's been the
- 7:10Speaker 2: business model.
- 7:12Speaker 1: My entire life.
- 7:14Speaker 2: The TV networks are the sugar daddy, and they want
- 7:18Speaker 2: the marquee stars on their games on the on the broadcast,
- 7:21Speaker 2: the national broadcast, and so they get to.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Hand pick which games they want.
- 7:24Speaker 2: And Silver made one offhand comment, and it's totally plausible
- 7:32Speaker 2: that Lebron snapped.
- 7:34Speaker 1: He's always on social.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Media, even while he's golfing, He's on social media and
- 7:38Speaker 2: all that stuff. And so he's like, hey, listen, I'm
- 7:41Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna slap on top of Adam Silver. I'm
- 7:44Speaker 2: gonna slap a Spotlight processing fee on top of Adam Silver.
- 7:48Speaker 2: He didn't crave the Spotlight. No, he didn't just crave it.
- 7:52Speaker 2: He owns it, Lebron. He actually leases out the Spotlight
- 7:56Speaker 2: short term rentals.
- 7:58Speaker 1: You know, how you go to the beach, you can
- 7:59Speaker 1: runt a bike or a surfboard or some chairs or
- 8:02Speaker 1: something like that same thing.
- 8:03Speaker 2: So when when his grifter agent Rich Paul announced that
- 8:07Speaker 2: Lebron's decision will not be rushed, will not be rushed,
- 8:10Speaker 2: I thought, well, first thing, I thought, well, maybe Rich
- 8:11Speaker 2: Paul needs to have Lebron's coattails washed because he's been holding.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Onto them for so long.
- 8:17Speaker 2: And then Rich Paul said, well, he strictly runs on
- 8:20Speaker 2: his timetable. Make no mistake, that was not just the
- 8:23Speaker 2: spin cycle, the pr spin cycle. That was a dog whistle,
- 8:27Speaker 2: a direct dog whistle to the commissioner, Adam Silver and
- 8:31Speaker 2: his relatives back home on his native planets Zimbo and Limbo.
- 8:37Speaker 1: That was what that was.
- 8:38Speaker 2: A lot of people don't know that Adam Silver was
- 8:40Speaker 2: raised on Zimbo and then he lived on Limbo for
- 8:42Speaker 2: a while. All right, now, Page two to video games
- 8:46Speaker 2: we go Where Victor wemb Yama, the guy that choked
- 8:49Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals. Victor wembon Yama has been unveiled
- 8:53Speaker 2: as the cover boy, the cover athlete for the standard
- 8:57Speaker 2: Basic Addition of the NBA A two K twenty seven game.
- 9:03Speaker 2: And what does that mean? He becomes the first San
- 9:06Speaker 2: Antonio Spurs player to appear on the franchise's global standard cover.
- 9:12Speaker 2: Take that Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, monuginobly and all you
- 9:17Speaker 2: guys you didn't get on there? Now the reveal sparking,
- 9:22Speaker 2: like everything else, a viral reaction, some pushback.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Now, who do you think was upset that victor went by?
- 9:29Speaker 2: Yama paced the field and is now the cover boy
- 9:34Speaker 2: for the NBA video game. That is correct, The Knicks
- 9:39Speaker 2: fanboys not happy. Oh, don't want to upset those New Yorkers.
- 9:43Speaker 2: They've still got that afterglow from the little championship. They're
- 9:46Speaker 2: piece of metal. Even actor and super Nick freeloader Ben
- 9:52Speaker 2: Stiller responded to the announcement, got on his soapbox with
- 9:57Speaker 2: a single troll emoji a jab referencing New York's victory
- 10:03Speaker 2: over San Antonio. There with wem Banyama missing a wide
- 10:07Speaker 2: open look that would have won one of the games
- 10:09Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals and was on the court while
- 10:12Speaker 2: his team absolutely melted like butter in a pan, blowing
- 10:17Speaker 2: the biggest lead ever in NBA Finals history. So while
- 10:20Speaker 2: many many are celebrating, I don't know if that's the
- 10:24Speaker 2: right word.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Wehen Ba Yama getting on the cover.
- 10:28Speaker 2: The others arguing that Jalen Brunson. Jalen Brunson deserved the
- 10:32Speaker 2: honor after leading the Knickerbockers to the NBA championship. And
- 10:37Speaker 2: so this has created a debate over who should represent
- 10:42Speaker 2: the video game franchise. So the question did Jalen Brunson
- 10:45Speaker 2: get screwed? Did he deserve the NBA two K cover
- 10:49Speaker 2: here over the Parisian prodigy Victor Wembanyama. So the way
- 10:55Speaker 2: I look at it, after deliberating the available evidence, the
- 10:58Speaker 2: Knicks got the confetti, they had that fat lady steal
- 11:01Speaker 2: the trash can, and.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Wemby got cover art.
- 11:04Speaker 2: That's what That's what happened, right, everybody calmed down, All right,
- 11:09Speaker 2: this is a pomegranate to dragon fruit debate is what
- 11:13Speaker 2: it is. Brunson deserved to be the Finals MVP. He
- 11:17Speaker 2: was given the Finals MVP trophy. But two K is
- 11:22Speaker 2: not selling right, It's not selling merit, it's selling mythology.
- 11:27Speaker 1: And Victor Wembanyama.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Is the new religion of the NBA. That's what Andrew
- 11:33Speaker 2: and Bakersfield told me. A championship this is gonna blow
- 11:37Speaker 2: your way is a team award. The cover of a
- 11:40Speaker 2: video game is an individual business decision. Now, if you're
- 11:44Speaker 2: really complaining it's not fair, not fair. Go read you know,
- 11:51Speaker 2: read the New York Times and go watch PBS. Knock
- 11:53Speaker 2: yourself out. Right, this is a business decision. Brunson is
- 11:58Speaker 2: a champion congratulation. Wemby is the NBA's spectacle. And in
- 12:04Speaker 2: the video game world, from what I understand, all right,
- 12:07Speaker 2: the way I've heard it over the years, spectacle beat
- 12:10Speaker 2: substance every single day of the week and twice on Sunday.
- 12:15Speaker 2: So did Jalen Brunson dominate in the playoffs playoffs? Sure, absolutely,
- 12:22Speaker 2: But Victor Wembanyama dominated the global conversation. And so if
- 12:27Speaker 2: you're in that room and you have to make that
- 12:29Speaker 2: decision and there's a lot of people saying, oh, this
- 12:32Speaker 2: guy should be on the cover, that guy should be
- 12:33Speaker 2: on the cover, you're simply betting that Victor Wembanyama's status
- 12:39Speaker 2: is that of a global icon and he's gonna move
- 12:43Speaker 2: more product, more units of the video game.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Then Jalen brunts that's it. Period. Stop. This is not
- 12:51Speaker 1: that hard. It really isn't. It's just the way it operates.
- 12:57Speaker 2: Right now, final point, the final point, now to the
- 12:59Speaker 2: complete department, to the complaint department. This was sent to
- 13:05Speaker 2: me by a listener named Steve, who is in Seattle.
- 13:09Speaker 2: By the way, I thought we only had no Stradinis
- 13:11Speaker 2: left in Seattle, but apparently we have Steve. So he
- 13:13Speaker 2: was all up in arms.
- 13:16Speaker 1: As a WNBA story, which will make Eileen in San
- 13:18Speaker 1: Francisco very happy.
- 13:19Speaker 2: So the WNBA and the Women's National Basketball Association player something. No, no,
- 13:27Speaker 2: it's the Women's National Basketball Player Association WNBPA.
- 13:32Speaker 1: I've never heard that. Apparently that's a union. So they
- 13:34Speaker 1: held a powwow.
- 13:35Speaker 2: They had a webinar thing, a video meeting, and this
- 13:39Speaker 2: thing went all over the place because the players of
- 13:41Speaker 2: the WNBA are not happy. Can you believe they're not happy?
- 13:44Speaker 2: I thought they were always happy. What are they unhappy about?
- 13:46Speaker 2: They got this massive race. Well, apparently the players are complaining.
- 13:50Speaker 2: They're very concerned about the increase in racist, hateful, and
- 13:56Speaker 2: abusive messages directed at them online, and so they went
- 14:02Speaker 2: to the union that they're part of and said, we
- 14:06Speaker 2: must do something. We must this is not peachy, this
- 14:11Speaker 2: is not we must do something about this.
- 14:14Speaker 1: All right, So we're.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Here as a think tank. We're gonna activate the Malar
- 14:18Speaker 2: think tank. The question, do you have any wisdom, any
- 14:22Speaker 2: wisdom for the w NBA players who are upset with
- 14:27Speaker 2: social media trolls.
- 14:29Speaker 1: They're not happy.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Well, we did activate the mal of think tank, and
- 14:33Speaker 2: it's pretty simple. Look, the Internet is full of keyboard
- 14:38Speaker 2: Neanderthals spewing raw sewage.
- 14:43Speaker 1: That's just the way it is, just the way it is. Right.
- 14:46Speaker 2: They may feel big for five seconds and all that.
- 14:48Speaker 2: You don't need to read it to know its stinks.
- 14:52Speaker 2: You don't need to read the sewage to know the
- 14:54Speaker 2: stewage stinks. And commplaining in a meeting is not the
- 15:00Speaker 2: brightest thing in the world. Because those union reps don't
- 15:04Speaker 2: control social media. The people that run social media don't
- 15:08Speaker 2: control social media. It's like a game of whack a mole.
- 15:11Speaker 2: You cannot win, right, you cannot win, And so complaining
- 15:15Speaker 2: in meetings because your feelings are hurt. It's not going
- 15:19Speaker 2: to change human nature. Some people are just awful a holes.
- 15:24Speaker 2: That's it. That's my deep thought of to day. The
- 15:27Speaker 2: fix is simple. You starve starvation, diet, you starve the trolls.
- 15:32Speaker 1: You do it.
- 15:34Speaker 2: You're letting randos with cartoon avatars live rent free in
- 15:41Speaker 2: your little head.
- 15:42Speaker 1: What are you doing? Seriously, what do you do a victim.
- 15:45Speaker 2: No, I learned as a boy back in the day.
- 15:48Speaker 2: I learned from one of my heroes as a child,
- 15:50Speaker 2: one of the very influential people in my life when
- 15:54Speaker 2: I was growing up. I learned from Smokey Bear, who
- 15:57Speaker 2: was absolutely right.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Only you can prevent those social media wildfires. Only you can.
- 16:03Speaker 2: Only you can stop throwing logs of attention onto the boys.
- 16:07Speaker 1: In fact, just this story of.
- 16:09Speaker 2: You complaining, you WNBA players complaining about the hateful, abusive
- 16:14Speaker 2: messages on social media, will give birth to.
- 16:17Speaker 1: A whole new army of schmucks. So way to go.
- 16:22Speaker 2: You're the godmother of the next generation of schmucks.
- 16:27Speaker 1: So here's the advice. Log out, delete the.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Apps, go out, touch some grass, smoke some grass if
- 16:35Speaker 2: you want focus.
- 16:36Speaker 1: On your game or whatever you're doing. There.
- 16:38Speaker 6: Now you say, well, I need my sponsorship, but it's
- 16:41Speaker 6: not fair. I need my sponsorship. But okay, I got
- 16:44Speaker 6: a solution of that too, Malard, think tank. Fine, here's
- 16:48Speaker 6: what you do, miss big shot.
- 16:49Speaker 2: Hire a social media manager to handle your engagement farming
- 16:54Speaker 2: so you never actually have to see the raw seage
- 16:56Speaker 2: and smell it and look at the trash and all
- 16:58Speaker 2: that problem solve problem.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Solve your mental health if that's what you're worried about.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Preserved your bank account is intact.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Congratulations on that the trolls, and I learned I don't
- 17:10Speaker 2: go on social media during that. I'm like on the
- 17:12Speaker 2: lowest part of the entertainment totem poll overnight sports talk radio.
- 17:17Speaker 2: Does it get any lower than that? And I get
- 17:20Speaker 2: people who are schmucks and a holes and say all
- 17:22Speaker 2: kinds of offensive, anti Semitic things to me. So if
- 17:24Speaker 2: I get that right, If I'm getting that, obviously gonna
- 17:28Speaker 2: be bad for you too.
- 17:29Speaker 1: I don't go on there during the day only.
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's a tool I use during the show. And that's it.
- 17:34Speaker 2: So the troll I learned this. The troll only wins
- 17:38Speaker 2: if you keep giving them an audience. So just block
- 17:42Speaker 2: delegate if you want to have your accounts on there,
- 17:45Speaker 2: or just get off the grid altogether.
- 17:46Speaker 1: That's it.
- 17:48Speaker 2: It's not that difficult. Some things in life are very difficult.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Some things there are no solutions to. This is something
- 17:53Speaker 2: that is very easy. It's the same as baseball for
- 17:57Speaker 2: some reason deciding to ban the shift. You didn't need
- 17:59Speaker 2: to ban the shift, just butt but but but but
- 18:02Speaker 2: but that's a non secutor by the way, for Andrew
- 18:05Speaker 2: in Bakersfield. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd

- 23:06Speaker 2: listening to you on a remote Maryland island with incredible
- 23:11Speaker 2: crabs and cake. But hearing about Lebron makes me nauseous.
- 23:15Speaker 2: He can't have his cake and eat it too.
- 23:18Speaker 1: What an ego?
- 23:19Speaker 3: I love crab cakes.

- 23:50Speaker 1: On every leg.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Oh my god, I might have to just fly into

- 24:04Speaker 2: writes and says, Ben, did you just say the word decision?
- 24:06Speaker 2: And Lebron in the same monologue, bad job by you.
- 24:09Speaker 2: Hopefully the Tom Brady tollicker Jim Gray will not be involved.
- 24:13Speaker 2: If so, I might throw up in my mouth like
- 24:15Speaker 2: I did sixen years ago. Now, don't be ripping Jim Gray.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Jim Gray is a listener to this show. I was
- 24:21Speaker 2: shocked by that myself. I met Jim at the Super
- 24:23Speaker 2: Bowl in San Francisco and I had him on my podcast.
- 24:26Speaker 1: He was promoting some thing.
- 24:27Speaker 2: He's going with Tom Brady whatever, but he's like, actual,
- 24:30Speaker 2: I shouldn't say I should probably shouldn't said that.
- 24:32Speaker 1: But he does listen to the show, which was shocking me.
- 24:35Speaker 1: Shocking to me as well.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Chip in the ques right and says he plus on
- 24:38Speaker 2: the monologue, you know Lebron.
- 24:39Speaker 1: Is a total douche Canoe.
- 24:41Speaker 2: If most folks are backing Adam Silver in this situation,
- 24:46Speaker 2: Crimudge and.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Wayne, there we go.

- 25:17Speaker 1: Would be Anthony in Louisiana. Hello, Anthony, welcome.
- 25:25Speaker 5: How you doing?
- 25:27Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be doing religious talk

- 25:31Speaker 1: But I am not. I'm just doing the overnight sports
- 25:34Speaker 1: radio show. Is it true, Anthony?
- 25:38Speaker 2: A little birdie that may or may not be named

- 25:45Speaker 2: called in to some religious talk raters.
- 25:47Speaker 1: That accurd? No, what that is not accurate? That guy's
- 25:54Speaker 1: making that up. Yeah, oh okay, you sure.
- 25:59Speaker 4: To be with me.
- 26:02Speaker 5: I wonder what team is Lebron James going to.
- 26:05Speaker 2: I believe Lebron James and I have some good information here.
- 26:08Speaker 2: Lebron's gonna sign.
- 26:09Speaker 1: With the Harlem Globetrotters. He's a big fan of the
- 26:11Speaker 1: Harlem Globetrotters.
- 26:14Speaker 5: But I thought he was going back to Creton.
- 26:16Speaker 8: Golden State.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Golden State, Nah, Golden State. You want to do that.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Do you have any other questions for Anthony Coop anything
- 26:26Speaker 2: you want to ask for me? I mean, I thought
- 26:29Speaker 2: you might have a question. I don't know Ray wanted
- 26:31Speaker 2: you to ask a question. I thought you would ask
- 26:32Speaker 2: the questions.
- 26:33Speaker 3: You know, Hey, cook, she's not available right now?
- 26:38Speaker 1: Oh my god.

- 26:43Speaker 1: This is very important.
- 26:44Speaker 2: This is the Is this not the reason you called Anthony?
- 26:48Speaker 2: By the way, Curmudge and Wayne called up Anthony. He
- 26:50Speaker 2: said I might start listening to my toilet flush instead
- 26:53Speaker 2: of the damn NBA talk.

- 28:09Speaker 2: Let's say hello to Drew, who's in Naples, Florida, and
- 28:13Speaker 2: he's got some hot Lebron talk. So my guy Wayne
- 28:17Speaker 2: over there in du Luth, you might want to start
- 28:18Speaker 2: flushing your toilet.
- 28:19Speaker 1: Hello, what's going on? Drew? Welcome?
- 28:21Speaker 9: Hey, Hey, guys, listen. I listen to you guys all
- 28:25Speaker 9: night at work. But I have a question that I
- 28:29Speaker 9: can't believe no one has come up with. Is, hypothetically,
- 28:33Speaker 9: let's say Lebron place for whomever should be playing with
- 28:39Speaker 9: himself is if he goes to whomever and the team
- 28:45Speaker 9: does not win, does he come back for another year
- 28:52Speaker 9: or does he go and retire and play for a
- 28:57Speaker 9: different team. I personally just wish you'd get the hell
- 29:01Speaker 9: out of circulation. I can't stand him. I'm a Laker fan,
- 29:07Speaker 9: but he's like a little I can't use that work.
- 29:10Speaker 9: But he's like a little woman that is on her
- 29:14Speaker 9: period and he's moody.
- 29:18Speaker 5: Anyway, listen, when you're on your period, are you moody?
- 29:21Speaker 1: Okay, calm down the right please. The man's making he's using.
- 29:23Speaker 9: Metaphors here, he makes he makes me moody. I can't
- 29:28Speaker 9: stand him. Listen, great show, you guys, keep it up,
- 29:31Speaker 9: and I listen to you every night doing well.
- 29:35Speaker 1: Hold on, what do you do for work? I want
- 29:37Speaker 1: to know what? Why are you up on that? What
- 29:38Speaker 1: kind of work do you do?
- 29:39Speaker 9: I'm I'm an auditor. I work for rich Carlton.
- 29:43Speaker 1: Oh look at you, man, you got you got free rooms?
- 29:46Speaker 1: You get?
- 29:48Speaker 4: No?
- 29:49Speaker 2: No, yeah, I was gonna say, Drew, if you get
- 29:53Speaker 2: free rooms, man, we can be really good friends.
- 29:55Speaker 1: No, I'm kidding, but uh, that's all night ordering. That's cool. Yeah,
- 30:01Speaker 1: I got and I got the radio on.
- 30:04Speaker 9: I listen to you guys more than I do my work.
- 30:06Speaker 9: But as only as one seven o'clock comes Eastern time,
- 30:10Speaker 9: I'm out surfing and the hell with everybody else. But listen,
- 30:14Speaker 9: I love your show.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Oh, thank you, guys, thank you, great job. Keep it appreciating,
- 30:19Speaker 1: thank you. But it drew.
- 30:22Speaker 2: What a life that guy's got, stays up all night,
- 30:24Speaker 2: nobody bothers him, He's got the radio show on, he's
- 30:27Speaker 2: crunching numbers and his calculator and all that with the
- 30:30Speaker 2: rich Carlton that he goes out and hits the surf
- 30:33Speaker 2: at seven am, And I guess does he go to
- 30:36Speaker 2: bed at like ten and then sleeps?
- 30:37Speaker 8: All sounds like the only thing stressing him out is
- 30:39Speaker 8: Lebron James.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Hey, listen, Lebron is very stressful. You don't understand how
- 30:44Speaker 2: many middle aged men do not like Lebron James.
- 30:46Speaker 1: I don't think you understand that.
- 30:48Speaker 2: If I was a middle aged man, I would also
- 30:50Speaker 2: want to be Lebron James.
- 30:51Speaker 1: So really, I don't know that you want to be
- 30:54Speaker 1: a middle aged man.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Perito writes, and say, say Benny, tell the WNMA players
- 30:58Speaker 2: to quit acting like a holes. And then he says
- 31:02Speaker 2: they might want some council with a star caller Dick
- 31:05Speaker 2: from Dayton I cleaned that up. Parto said something got
- 31:09Speaker 2: quite different than that. But I cleaned that up for
- 31:11Speaker 2: the show because I know there's a lot of women
- 31:13Speaker 2: and children listening to am FM sports radio overnight. Let's
- 31:16Speaker 2: go now, we head now of Berkeley, California, and we
- 31:21Speaker 2: look up to the heavens, to the cosmos, and we
- 31:25Speaker 2: say hello to our astrology insider.
- 31:29Speaker 1: Her name is Andrea, her game is the stars.
- 31:35Speaker 5: Hello, Ben, how are you?
- 31:38Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be a comet, But
- 31:40Speaker 2: not Haley's comment, because I would not be seen except
- 31:43Speaker 2: for once.
- 31:44Speaker 1: How many years? Is it seventy seven or something like that?
- 31:46Speaker 1: How many years is it something like that?
- 31:48Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a long one.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a long time for sure.
- 31:51Speaker 5: But you know, this is really interesting as above, so
- 31:55Speaker 5: below my series, Lebron James is putting off signing with
- 32:01Speaker 5: another team because Mercury is retrograde. June twenty ninth to
- 32:06Speaker 5: July twenty third.
- 32:08Speaker 1: Oh so is today the end of retrograde?
- 32:12Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing, Ben, it's the technical end of
- 32:15Speaker 5: the retrograde. But you heard me mentioned retro shade.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, that spills over there.
- 32:21Speaker 5: Yes, exactly right. So it's not quite at one hundred
- 32:24Speaker 5: percent all intents and purposes, it's out of retrograde, but
- 32:28Speaker 5: it takes a full week, ten days, sometimes even two
- 32:32Speaker 5: weeks to get back to the degree it retrograded at
- 32:35Speaker 5: and full strength. So it's really interesting tapricorns, who's December thirtieth,
- 32:42Speaker 5: nineteen eighty four. They're super ambitious, so I wouldn't be
- 32:45Speaker 5: surprised if you use astrology to get the most the
- 32:50Speaker 5: best deal for himself. He's really into achieving and very pragmatic.
- 32:56Speaker 5: So it's like the mountain go it slowly but surely
- 32:59Speaker 5: they climb up to the top of the mountain.
- 33:01Speaker 1: No, I like that.
- 33:02Speaker 2: I need to steal that. I'm gonna jot that down
- 33:04Speaker 2: the mountain goat. That's a good I need all the
- 33:06Speaker 2: metaphors and analogy. I can get four hours a night here.
- 33:10Speaker 2: So a mountain goat slowly up the mountain.
- 33:13Speaker 5: Yes, I like that is a sign of the mountain
- 33:16Speaker 5: goat slowly but surely climbing up the mountain.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Okay, I like that. I'm gonna put that down. I
- 33:22Speaker 2: will use that at some point. Of course, will give
- 33:25Speaker 2: you no credit because I'm a schmuck. I'm kidding, but
- 33:27Speaker 2: I just gave you credit right now. So that reminds
- 33:30Speaker 2: me of one of my favorite childhood songs when I
- 33:35Speaker 2: was a kid, coming around the mountain, when they come into.
- 33:39Speaker 3: That whole thing coming around mountain.
- 33:43Speaker 5: That's right, you go Lorena.
- 33:46Speaker 1: We'll sing it here, we'll sing it for you.
- 33:49Speaker 5: It's interesting to see where he finally ends up. But really,
- 33:52Speaker 5: as you know with mercury retrograde and as your listeners, No,
- 33:56Speaker 5: it's not the best time to sign a contract. It's
- 33:59Speaker 5: really not auspicious timing to sign a contract. You want
- 34:03Speaker 5: to double check all communication allow for transportation delays, technology snaplos,
- 34:10Speaker 5: so not repeat, not the best time to negotiate contracts.
- 34:14Speaker 5: So I think he's waiting for the optimum time in
- 34:17Speaker 5: which to do that.
- 34:19Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. All right, well, so there you go
- 34:22Speaker 1: andres in it. She thinks it's the star thing. So well,
- 34:26Speaker 1: today is the last day, and then we'll see what happened.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Right well, thank you, Andrew and virgo in service.
- 34:32Speaker 2: If you want to say a lot to Andrea on X.
- 34:34Speaker 2: She's a very nice woman. She'll maybe give you some
- 34:36Speaker 2: help and she'll tell you direct you in the right way.
- 34:38Speaker 2: I thank you, Andrew.
- 34:39Speaker 1: There she goes, all right. Favorite nursery rhyme, you'll be
- 34:43Speaker 1: favorite nursery rhyme. Yankee doodle is fun too.
- 34:46Speaker 3: I like the old woman who lived in a shoe.
- 34:49Speaker 1: You liked that one? Yeah, Doc, that's not bad Twinkle Twinkle,
- 34:54Speaker 1: Little Star.
