• 2:42
  Speaker 1: tire ract dot Com. The way tire buying should should be.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Then it was crying Craig in Seattle, our buddy crying Craig,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Who's who's right there? And I'm sure his kids cry
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: just like him, said Craig said, when my baby daughter
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was born, he said he didn't cry his wife cried.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: She cried her eyes out and still cried when she
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: cuddles her. There you go, but crying. Craig knows that

  Speaker 1: There you go, So check that out. We're back at it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Here we go our number two and we begin with
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: this the post mortem from the big event that wrapped
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: up over the weekend on Sunday. There and there's a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: tie in here. It's all about the grass, not the ass.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: It's all about the grass. So forty nine ers star
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: tight end George Kittle, Kiddle and Bits. Apparently he was
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: in attendance at the World Cup finale there in Jersey,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: although he was not listed as a celebrity, which is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: an atomic elbow to the ego of George Kittle did
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: not make the Big board of celebrities the forty nine
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: or tight End, However, we are told he was in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: attendance at the World Cup finale. Now. He argued that
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six FIFA World Cup has exposed the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: NFL's long standing excuse to keep artificial turf in these
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: palaces of pigskin, noting that multiple NFL stadiums that typically
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: have turf were able to successfully install natural grass for
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. So I do know if you saw
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: any of this, perhaps not, It's been going on. It's
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: not exactly new. Although the latest ripple from forty nine
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: or tight End George Kittle happening as the game was
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: going on at Kittle's central message was now we know
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it's possible. He questioned why NFL owners won't make the
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: same investment for frick bah players if they can do
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: it for the FIFA tournament, the biggest tournament of soccer
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in the world. Now, Kittle emphasizing emphasizing the NFL players
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly prefer the grass. Well, we know NFL players love grass.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Apparently I like playing on it as well, pointing to
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the NFL Player Association survey because those are never wrong
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that ninety two percent of players that bothered to fill
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: out the survey, ninety two percent favor natural grass over
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: synthetic turf because they believe it is safer. Whether it
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: is or not, they believe it is safer, even though
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: George Kittle blew his knee out on natural grass. I digress.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: discuss the question how does this movie end for George
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Kittle forty nine or tight end and the other members
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of the NFL Players Association and the Worth the Cost campaign,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Worth the cost campaign for one hundred percent one hundred
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: percent grass fields. So how does this all end up?
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I've got fine print copy Bara, and we also have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: VitaminX blender, and we will combine all of these things
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to have put the biscuit
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: in the basket. Gonna put the biscuit in the basket
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. But we always start
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out with number one number one up time to the right,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to the left, one more time. Three words box office flop,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: box office flop. That's it, George Kittles media push. It's
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: like an indie film with blockbuster dreams and a shoe
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: string budget. Now that's that the union. They have been
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: working over him. This is a concerted effort, is a
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: manipulation of the marketplace by the NFL Players Association. They
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: brought the hashtag to a knife fight, and the hashtag
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: wall It's nice to have a hashtag, it generally does
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: not win a knife fight. Looking to bully, looking to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: bully the owners who are quietly counting the money they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: save by ignoring the players. Ignore the players. Now, this
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: is the problem that the NFL Players Association can't seem
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to find a solution to the problem. And the thing
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that they're missing the George Kittle and the other NFL
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: players who are ranting and raving, huffing and puffing. I
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: want my grass field, I need my grass field. The
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: thing they're missing is the fine print. If it's not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: in the CBA, it's not happening periods. Stop, end of story.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Move on. Now the players point and the thing they
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: keep going to is the twenty twenty six World Cup.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: All these pitches that were all natural grass. But the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: thing they're missing is who do you think paid for that?
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Do you think the players of the World Cup paid
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: for that? Do you think the NFL owners paid for that. No, FIFA,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the Global power of Football. FIFA paid millions of dollars
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: millions of dollars for those temporary setups, including research and development.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: This included growing specialized SAD at SAD farms in places
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: like Colorado and North Carolina. They had to transport the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: sod in refrigerated trucks like it was a mister Softy
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: truck and they had to take that and installation over
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: sand bases in these stadiums. They had to deal with drainage, irrigation,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: grow lights. We should consult with mister irrigation in Houston
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this year. But it's
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: a little more than just your mow blow and go.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You know the old line for a bad gardener, mow
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: blow and go. That's a bad gardener right there. The NFL,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: they just treated it, the NFL owners and whatnot, like
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: a free landscaping coupon. Okay, you want to put grass
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna pay for it. Okay, put grass in.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: You could put a field of gold boo on down
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and have the players play on gold bullyond. If you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: pay for it, We're not paying for it. But if
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you pay for it, fine, And unless that's really a lesson,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: unless the NFL players are willing to give something up
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: of value, I'm sure the owners would be willing to
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: put grass down if you pay for it. They're not
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: going to pay for it, and so the owners just
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: keep counting their money. And that's that. Now, if you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: want to give up something, if you're George Kittle and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the player's fine, or go. The NFL keeps going on
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and on shouting grass grass, grass, grass, grass, grass grass,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: just like that, and the owners just kind of roll
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: their eyes and that's all right now, Page two to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: the I don't know that it's a growing debate, but
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: it is a debate that took place over the weekend. Now.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I was out doing things. On Saturday. While I was
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: out doing things, the people at FIFA had a bronze
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: medal match. Did you watch any of this? You did? Okay,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: well you're a better person than me. I did not.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: They played England, had a massive lead and then had
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: a whole on to beat France. It was rather simply
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: just blah, you know, not something I circled. I had
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to watch, and nobody in my circle watched it. So
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: what's the big deal. Well, the big deal is the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: argument is, should the NFL adopt this strategy? There are
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: people like that apparently watch this. We're like, well, this
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is a good idea. I don't know if these are
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: real people or not. It might be just made up nonsense,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but I kept hearing some buzz about, oh, we need
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: a third place game. And the argument is that the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: NFL should take this and say, Okay, at the end
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of the conference championship round, you have two weeks before
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So the week before the Super Bowl,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: instead of having the Pro Bowl, just put out the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: the third place game. Whoever loses the NFC and NFC
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: title games gets to play each other in the third
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: place game. Why not? So the NFL should adopt a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: third place game. And the argument is they need more inventory.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: God knows, they need more inventory, They need more items
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: on the shelves, and they need more revenue. Now, in theory,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a third place game would create another marquee TV event
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: for the National Football League, generating additional revenue because we
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: know they're really struggling over there at the NFL, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: one more meaningful matchup before the big game. That would
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: be the theory question. The idea, the idea of the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: NFL adding a third place game. What is the verdict
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: on this one? All right? So the verdict is, to
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: quote weedman, you gotta be joking, all right. When I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: said first saw us, I thought, well, that's by fake.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: There's no way there's anyone with half a functioning brain
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that would say, let's have a third place game, and
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: this is the classic. And if it came from the NFL,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: there's people say with the NFL is not going to
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: do it. And if it did come from somebody in
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the NFL, you'd say, well, that's just overthinking, trying to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: monetize everything even though you can't sell you know, congrats
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: your third place. People don't want to watch Congrats your
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: third place. Nobody wants that. Nobody wants that. And this
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: is not the Olympics, it's not the World Cup. That's
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: just not how we operate here in America. We don't
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: celebrate the first runner up to the second runner up.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: We don't do that, and we just don't. We already
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: live in an era and this is the main problem.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Even if you wanted to do this, we live in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the era of the spoiled player who believes in doing
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the bare minimum, just the bare necessities. That's the modern athlete.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: For better or worse. We have spoiled our athletes. We've
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: put them on pedestals. You all lick their toes. I
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: don't you suck their toes. I don't do that. You
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: love your athletes. But it doesn't matter. If we wanted
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: meaningless football, we just play an extra exhibition game in
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the NFL. This isn't just day copy Bara in the
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: room situation. It is a full petting zoo. It is
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: a petting zoo of bad ideas. And you think guys
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: are going to go full throttle to get a participation ribbon,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: because if you think that you might want to go
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: back to school, you're not that bright. You need to
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: learn some more stuff. Go back to school, get out
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: of here. Come on now, forget the whole physical toll,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: forget all that. The real issue is a lack of motivation.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: That's the problem there. It's just unnecessary cardio with shoulder pads, helmets,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: and then you name it to all kinds of pads
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: in the pants, the whole thing. And if you do
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: end up with players coasting along la la la la
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: la la la zipity due da zippity day. What happens
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: is you actually do risk injury. If you're not playing
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to the max, you'll end up in a bad situation.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: So if you want motivation, if you need steaks, all right,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: you do. You want stakes, you need meaning, you need motivation, stakes,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. You don't have that in the third
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: place game. This would happen.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Neither.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: The NFL already tried this. This is the crazy thing.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: If you go back in the way back machine, the
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: NFL tried this. They called it the Playoff Bowl. Now
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you don't remember, it was before your time, and I
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: don't remember. It was even before my time. It died
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: over fifty years ago in a bygone era, back when
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: guys actually did have pride and they didn't get put
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: on the pedestal the way they do now. And yet
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: even in that era of the NFL, it was not
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: just the players. The coaches didn't want to do it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Everyone thought, well, this is a bad idea, so stop
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: trying to weekend at Bernie's the corpse of the Playoff Bawl.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: We don't need to do that. It adds absolutely nothing,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: all right, now, final point, quite right, we go to
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: pro ball. We had a trade in the A B A. Yes,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I'm wheeling and dealing here Oklahoma City, Atlanta and Dallas
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a three team trade, A meaty three team trade in
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the NBA. We are told the Thunder are saying bye
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: bye to Lude Dort. Yep that Lude Dort, Lude Dort
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: no longer playing for ok See. He's shipped off to
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the atl to hang out at Magic City in Atlanta.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: There After exercising the Thunder exercise the team option, the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: mav Rex acquired the former number one, Zachary Reza Che.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He goes from Atlanta to Dallas. So you get that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: The Hawks received Loude Dort and guard ryan Nebhard. He
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: goes to Atlanta. The Thunder received not one, not two,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: but three second round draft picks as they continue to
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: give away good players for scratcher tickets. Question, how did
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you grade? You make the call? How did you grade
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the big three team deal between the OKC Thunder, Atlanta
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and Dallas involving the headliner. I guess he is a headliner,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: not a household name, but louddrt Louddart. All right. So
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the mallor report card, mallor report card, it is in
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and quite Frankly, the Oklahoma City thunder just performed a
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: masterclass in roster malfeasans is what they did here. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: gave Atlanta an A, not an A plus inn a.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: They fleeced this trade. They did. They took the wallet
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to watch the keys to the car by landing lout Dort,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the NFL's pre eminent dirty work specialist, and they got him.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: And they added Andrew Nebhard, who's a decent rotation depth guy,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: so they picked him up. The Hawks have improved their roster.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So that is a lifestyle upgrade for the Atlanta Hawks,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: who appear to be actually trying to win Dallas. I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: wrote down a C on the Mallet report card on
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: my notes app for Dallas, wrote down to see they're
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: betting on Zachary Reza Sha, the top pick in the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: draft few years ago, which is kind of like buying
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a used car, because the salesman got up and said, listen,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: this thing is a great car. It has a lot
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of upside, and he closed it out by saying trust
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: me bro. Okay, the old trust me bro transaction. So
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Resa is the NBA's version of a software update improved performance,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: but nobody can actually improve prove he's improved, so good
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: luck on that. As for the Thunder, they get an F.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: The Thunder get an F. OKC took their wing thing
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: in Lude Dort, the top wing defender in the NBA.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: It seems like something you'd likely need in a playoff series,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and they threw it in the Vita mixed blender and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they put it on puree and called it cap management.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: And they didn't just lose Loude Dort, they lost a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: bit of their spine in that transaction. So it's a
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: rosterchiro practic work gone bad, is what it is here.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So by unloading Dort, who was their glue guy, glue guy,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: glue guy, google guy by doing that, and a guy
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: who if I have this right wrong about these things,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: So Lude Dort's the glue guy who guards the other
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: team's star player, so your stars can actually be stars,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and you just unloaded him alongside other roster depth players
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: like Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins. All of this sliced
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: away from OKC and the secret recipe because of the
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: salarycap and the second apron. Yet again, the salarycap second apron,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: so dumbing these guys for pennies on the dollar, pennies
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: on the dollar, proving that sometimes even when you save money,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you still end up going bankrupt in the end. So
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when the Thunder had the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: one championship dynasty. Remember that. I remember, Oh the Thunder
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: they're gonna run the NBA for the next decade. Well,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: they won a championship, they had a great regular season,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and now they're unloading three key members of that depth.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Which was the secret sauce, Which was the secret sauce,
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: and they've gotten rid of it. It is the Ben

• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Late night drug tester writes in he says, you could
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: get grass in the dull homes. Just give the owners
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: another week of regular season football. In the long run, however,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: it would be a loss financially for the teams. Yes,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it's it's like, hey, you have a lot of those
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: monster truck shows and other religious revivals and whatnot in
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: these stadiums and so it's just easier to have turf down. Fami,
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: says Ben. If the NFL and NBA introduced third place games,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the Timberwolves and Viking stadiums could finally have trophy rooms.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Shots fired right there. Yeah, what else do we have?
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Doc dan Wright sinces the NCAA used to have a
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: third place game in the basketball tournament. Side note, the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: match between England and France is probably the most fun
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: watch of the whole World Cup. All right, mister irrigation,
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: he's our inside. You gotta have a guy, and he's
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: our guy when it comes to it to lawnscaping or
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: landscaping and all that, mister irrigation says, Okay, the biggest
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: problem with dowing a grass field inside an eight to
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: twelve story tall building with a retractable roof is getting
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the correct amount of sunlight to your crop without distributing
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the disturbing Rather the crebs cycle. I don't know what
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: that is. Do you know what that is? I don't know.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: It sounds smart, k r ebs crebs cycle. Plants at night,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: don't expend energy trying to do a photosynthesis, et cetera,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. Okay, so put that in your
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: pipe and smoke it. Eileen in San Francisco says, George
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Kittle looks like Ben Franklin, she says, And I'm never
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: wrong about these things, never ever wrong about these things.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the phones. It is a
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: call in show. Let's say hello to Andre, Andre Andre,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: who's in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, Welcome.
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: What's going on? Ben?
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: A good debate with you.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: We look out across the NBA landscape and we see
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: another second apron casualty with Oklahoma City having to give
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: up a true glue guy. Shout out to lou dort
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: To prior to ASU under the capable leadership of Bobby
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: Hurley Junior, even though he's not gonna be coach in
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: the Sun Devils, which I feel personally is a loss
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: because of the Saint Anthony's tradition. But I don't think
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: it hurts Oklahoma City, Ben, because they have Casan Wallace
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: right of John Calipari and UK Fame coming in to
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: be that three and D guy stepping into their starting lineup,
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: and you have Alex Carusho as well off of the bench.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: But it would have been nice to keep loudort I
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: don't think anybody would have had a problem, you know
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: with Oklahoma City bringing back the same team, just like
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: the Golden State Warriors, and they had their championship runs,
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: bringing you know, essentially their same team back year after year.
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: But it's this second apron that nobody asks for that's
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: causing all of these moves. Ben you understand, that's the
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: best stories, the lubit Loser's locker room, but also people love.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: We need people to cheer for and against, whether you
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: think the Yankees are the evil Empire or you know,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: whether you're talking about all of the twenty seven, eight nine, however,
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: many of these world series. You need Goliath, all right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Wild Chamblain wrote the book Nobody Roots for Goliath. Right,
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: But the point you need people and teams that you
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: can latch onto, and all the second aprin is doing
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: is making it more difficult for these winning teams to
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: stay together. So it's just ridiculous, not making any sense.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, well, you need well, you need good guys, villains,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Obviously you need that. And the NBA
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: all these small market teams got together and they bitched
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: and complained to the NBA. They said, this is not fair.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: All the good players are going to the big market
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: teams in LA and Miami and New York and plays
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: like that, and so we got to change it. So
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: they changed it. Is this really good for the NBA? Though?
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Is it good that this is going on? Eh? I
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: don't think so. I think it's it's not good in
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the long term for the product. And I like donasas
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: I always said even when they were dynasties. We don't
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: have that anymore in the NBA. But I think it's great.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: You need you beat a dynasty. There's something extra special
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: about that when you take down a dynasty. Every year
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: having a new champion does not It does not reek
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: of greatness. There's no odor of greatness there.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: No, we don't mean we don't need musical chairs. NBA
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: champions bring back the awesome eighties, right, We had the
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: six Seris, Doctor j We had the Celtics, Larry Bird obviously,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: the Showtime Lakers with Magic the bad boy that from
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Piston to Isaiah I mean Michael Jordan, Right, we need
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: that bat. So hopefully nball go back to the table.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: The Players Association, it's finally speaking to this talking about,
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: you know, pushing back against the second aprin a couple
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: of articles. Now it just nobody was asking for it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: We're obviously paying the penalty here in Boston traded Drew
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: Holiday broke up the dynasty. Now you know, we're feeling
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: that Paul George is gonna lead us back to the
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Promised Land. Good luck with that, get rid of the
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: second apron. And also, even though we didn't play we
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: meaning I in the malaplus the top four, Willis was absent,
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: and I think that he's beings intimated that had he
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: been president in my bet, in my Belbi of Devoux rendition,
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: that might have been the secret sauce bench from the lesson.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: The pictor goes as spoiled. So I'm cheeringful the people
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: in top four. Let me be back again next year.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Tidy yah. Way, there he goes Andre from the Commonwealth.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: I loved his submission. Great job. I'm checking in. So
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: we have an international incident that happened after the World Cup.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Do you hear about this?
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: No?
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: All right? So President Trump was there. He presented the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: World Cup trophy to Spain alongside that guy that looks
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: like an evil villain from a nineteen eighties Hollywood movie,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Gianni Infantino, the FIFA President Spain winning one nothing. We
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: talked about that earlier of Argentina there at MetLife Stadium.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: So President Trump was up there and he gave out
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the trophy. Instead of leaving right after the presentation, the
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: President kind of hung out and he wanted to soak
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: in the celebration with the Spaniards celebrating there and becoming
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: part of the becoming part of the celebration there. And
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: well it turns out that he was in a bunch
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: of photos and a hot mic captured someone we're not
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: sure who's saying, don't worry, they can edit him out
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: of that, referring to President Trump's appearance, and that is
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: exactly what they did. They've edited out President Trump. Now
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: do you think that the President is happy about that
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: or not happy about that that he's been edited out
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: of the photo of him where he was clearly right
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: there with the Spanish team was celebrating.
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: The video of him being moved off is hilarious. Well,
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: he tried to move him, but he he's just like, no,
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: I'm good. Yeah, what dude, You're the president? Why not celebrate?
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: Come on, you want to be part of what? Anyway,
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: So they photoshopped.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Him out or whatever you call it these days, out
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: of the the photographs since supposedly he's not real happy
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: with that being edited out. And that's the the chatter.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So who got that job? Who is that? Somebody from
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Spain said you got to go do the old photo
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: shop or whatever they're calling it. Like I said, these
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: days and this became became a thing. I just wanted
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to hang out. Do you see they're getting rings now,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: they're giving out rings to the team that won the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: World Cup, So Spain will They've never done that before.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: So they're americanization. That's right, baby, America. That's what we do.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: We give out rings, and so they're they're getting rings,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the Spanish teams getting ray. Let's go back to the phones.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Paul, who's in North Carolina. What's
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: going on? Paul? Welcome?
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Hey Ben. Have you ever heard the expression you can't
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: see the forest through the trees? H?
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Have I heard that? Have I? I don't know, I
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: don't think i've heard of that. All right, Yes, well.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: It's it's a pretty common expression. I've never understood. Tonight,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: and then your take on Oklahoma City then is yes,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: on the surface. You say Oklahoma City is clearly not
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: a better team right now without lou Dort. That's actually true.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: But you've got to take the big picture, and yes,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: this is good for the NBA, the future of the
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Western Conferences and markets like Oklahoma City and San Antonio,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: which puts pressure on every market in the league. Look
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: at teams like the Lakers that go out and spend
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: all this money on free agents that that suck. And
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: then you've got Oklahoma Cy that comes in. We've got
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: the most draft capital for the next ninety years, which
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: is the most you can attain.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Who cares about draft capital? No, Ben, I don't care.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: You care about do you care about draft capital?
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Then then wait a second, Then what you just said
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: about the NBA does not have dynasty. This is how
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: you build the dynasty. You have a core that they
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: have and when they're going to develop these players, and
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: then when they get it.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They're not going to it doesn't matter the developed. They're
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: just going to get rid of them. So who cares
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: because of the second apron They're going to get rid
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: of them, and guys like you will call up and
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: say this is great, this is so good. I'm all Horny.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: They got rid of another good player that's great, who cares,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: like seriously, like, what's the point, Like, let's get rid
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: of these guys so you could keep They kept three guys, right,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: they pay them the max, and then these other guys
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: they get rid of when they have to pay them,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: they have to get.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Rid of them. This is exactly how the New England
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Patriots went on their dynasty. Is they had they had
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: their core, and when players got to a point where
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: their contracts were coming up, they got rid of them
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: and it was next man ups. Exactly what they're doing, Like,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: you can't you can't pay everybody.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it's good. You think it's good.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is good for for the NBA.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Lou Dort's a good player, not a great player, is
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: a good player, and they just gave them away for
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: some second round draft picks. I don't think that's great.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You think that's good. You're excited about that, you called up,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: you're fired up. You think it's a good thing that
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: they did this.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus. Then you're like, you've got to you got to
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: see that. This is the way the NBA is set up.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: This is how this is how you create it.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: So you change, you change the setup. This is not
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: good for anybody. Did you think this is a good
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: setup that this is the way it is, like, change
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the rule, Ben.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's great for dork because he's going to
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: go to Atlanta and he's going to find a big
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: contract for show. So he couldn't do it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: So he's going to a dog food Atlanta team. Can
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: you agree on that? Can we agree that Atlanta's been terrible?
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: You were so out of touch, you were so out
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: of touch with the NBA Atlanta. Weit it. It's like
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: a top six Eastern See with what they've done there,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Atlanta's gonna be a good team next year. It's a
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: great situation.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Is a great situation. So it's it's wonderful. It's uh,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: it's just great. It's perfect to have a party celebrate. Okay,

  Speaker 8: How does that sound?
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Sounds terrible? Not much better? I don't think it sounds
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: anybody I found sounds the same. All right, hold on,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: hold on, Ray, holder and put them on hold. What
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: can we do here for Ray? We need something for Ray.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: We don't have a lot of time, so we need fine. Okay,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: all right, we'll give it a shot. Go ahead, Ray,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Ray.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: So I listened to this Christian radio show called AFR,
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: and they don't allow it in California because they think
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: it's take speech. But that that caller that calls in,
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: Anthony calls into that same show, and I just wanted
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: to shout it out because I'm like, it's just it's
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: kind of.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Divine that wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Anthony who calls
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: up here with the sole purpose of flirting with Lorena
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: calls up a religious talk radio show. Is this accurate?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Ray got be? Does he flirt with the preacher on
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the show?
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, I tell him, you man, I know, I
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: know it is.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: It's got to be.
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: It's gotta be a lady. But isn't that crazy how
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: we live in California and they don't allow certain radio
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: shows because they consider it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: I feel like we're just blowing past uh Ray's hot?
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Take care?
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: What? What was that? Cool?
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: But Ray's convinced that Anthony is a woman. Oh you
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: think Anthony's a woman? Ray? Yeah?
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: And the cukos will have you know.
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: And I said, well, we live in California. People call
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: themselves all kinds of oh, well that.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Is true, and call it does? All right? Hold on,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: So when the next Anthony, for some reason, never calls
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: on our Monday show. So when he calls out, let's
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: remember this. I feel like that would be an offensive
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: question to say, hey, Anthony, are you a woman? I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: feel like he wouldn't appreciate that question, or she wouldn't.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: So I think Rays is crazy, But no, I think yeah,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I mean he's at and he's a Yeah, I think
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: he's a dude. And then He never questioned Anthony's gender.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I have not got a high pitched voice. Yeah it happens,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: you know, not everyone wins the voice lottery. Get him
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: some cigarettes. He'll be okay, all right, Hey, I gotta
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: go riy, but thank you. Now, that's going to be

• 39:02
  Speaker 1: the famous emoji the yellows yeah. Guy from Worcester, Harvey Bell. Wow.

• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Loraina Odysseus? Uh No, it is h the guy that
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: had that natitude. Steven Strasburg played for Tony Gwynn at
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: San Diego State. He was known as Slothburg because he
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: was a fat pig at San Diego. Say here we go,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go? How about that? Yes?
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Third degree cooplo justin Cooper. It's grill Ben.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: There was reports over the weekend that Jacoby said it's
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: expected to settle in as the starter for the Cardinals. Yes,
• 39:59
  Speaker 6: but if they have a losing record around or after Halloween,
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: that Gardner, Minshew or Carson Beck could get a chance.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: Oh thank god, Ben, which one do you think Carson
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: Beck will see the field at all?
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: I think they will because Minshew gets hurt all the
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: time and Jacoby Brissette stinks, so they don't have a quarterback.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: They're not trying to win, they're trying to suck so
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: bad they get the next in the lineage of the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Manning family. They want Arch Manning, so that's obvious what
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: they're doing.
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: So I think all three of them play next Last
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: week during mallet to the third degree, he said, you
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: think the Tigers still could make a playoff push? That's
• 40:35
  Speaker 6: right now there is a report saying that the Dodgers
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: could possibly trade for Trek Scooble. Do you think he
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: is even available if they can make a playoff push.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, because they're not going to pay him. So both
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: those things are shore like, Tigers are not going to
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: pay school but what he wants, so he's going to leave.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: So they have to decide do they want to try
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: to go for it one last time or trade him
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers for a bunch of suspects. So yeah,
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: both things are possible.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: Next Ben, the UFL made an interesting tweak to the
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: rules in twenty and twenty six. Yeah, losing the points
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: for a sixty yard field goal from three to four.
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: Do you think the NFL would ever do that? No,
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: we need less field goals. We don't need more field goals.
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: We need less.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: There's too many field goals in the NFL. It sucks
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: get touchdowns, not field goals. Coop. So no, they should
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: not do that. That's a bad idea. How did we do?
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Passes it? That is the win?
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: Put it on the bye won the game.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: That is a winner. Ray I won.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Ray I'm a winner. I won the game.
