  Speaker 2: So we are in the midst of March Madness ncublea tournament,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: so we're gonna talk about Lebron What what are you doing?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Our lead this hour is from Hooray for Hollley. Well, well,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: actually it's in South Florida and that's where the Lakers were.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So the Lakers won a game in Miami. Who cares
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: about that? It's a regular season game. Nobody's watching it
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: because the tournament's going on. And Luca had a big
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: game but did he really have a big game if
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: nobody saw it anyway, So the Lakers have had a
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: success without Lebron. Now, Lebron did play in the game
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: on Thursday night, but overall this year, the Lakers have.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Been pretty good without Lebron on.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: The court, and that has led to a constant drum
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: beat of this Lebron's.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: A net negative.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: He's not making the team better and there are people saying, well,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the team would be better off without Lebron, and Lebron
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: was asked about this is his name being tossed around
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in a negative light, and he he did react, and
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: this is what everyone's going to be talking about, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: we get to jump on it because the time we're on.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But here's the audio. Let's go to the autotip. Here's Lebron.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: James asked about all of the talking heads, gas bags
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and blowhards that say the Lakers are better off without them.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Miss sells, I mean his salespapers are a lot easier
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: and clipping some podcasts.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: If he said Lebron.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Team's better off without him, a lot of people kind
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of like you with so I.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Gets all right, he was mumbling, he said it sells
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: papers a lot easier clippings and podcasts. If you say
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Lebron the team is better off without him, a lot
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: of people will try to like view it. So I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: get it. They're absolutely wrong. That's the quote. So that
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: As you just heard, even though he was mumbling, Lebron
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: James says, the media is ripping him to quote sell papers.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Can you parse the words of Lebron? So my observations
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: on this one have got Fax, machine boxing, legend, Joe
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Lewis and Scottish and we will combine all of these
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: things together and we are going to go cowabunga dude,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: So numb Burn. Can I tell you I love that quote?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: It sells papers? Oh, such a great quote by Lebron.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: This is in my top five favorite Lebron James quotes.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's a god down. It's just a It's a shame.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I was about to say a bad word. It's a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: shame that this happened on the night it did. It's
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: adorable buy Lebron. Lebron saying, hey, you know selling papers?
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Why do he stop there? Why didn't he say hey,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: this is going to be the facts of the day,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: bring back the fax machine in the nineteen nineties sports
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: talk radio, and it's fine. It's the facts of the day.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Gotta have that fax machine now. I hate to break
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it to King James. The ink is dead. The ink
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is dead. Nobody is selling newspapers because nobody is buying newspapers.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I do an overnight radio show. I have a bigger
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: reach than the mighty La Times. For example, there are
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: more people that hear my voice and my takes and
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: what I say in the middle of the night, well
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of the world.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Sleeping than that La Times. Just as an example there, I.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Can go through name a million newspapers because they're all
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: pretty much dead at this particular point. That's the reality
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of the situation in the attention economy, where takes are
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the new currency. Lebron is a blue chip stock that
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: never stops training.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: It never a human click farm click any click any
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: click click any click any click, a walking, talking algorithm
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: that happens to be wearing a headman, and so I
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: will give him this. He's Lebron is both right and wrong.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: It's quantum physics, King James. Two things can be true
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: at the same time. Yes, you are great for business.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: You are great for business because you get a reaction.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: There's this primal reaction people have. They either love you
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: and run to defend you and lick your toes, or
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: they run to punch you in the nose.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: There's a reaction there. You're firebrand, you know that. And oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: by the way, while that is true, it is also
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: true that this season you have not helped the Lakers
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: as much as you supposedly were going to help the Lakers.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Facts of the fact, the Lakers have a better winning percentage,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: They appear to have better rhythm and timing with Lebron
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: in street clothes. Now, regardless, Lebron has been the NBA's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: most profitable headline since dial up internet. It's like you
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: gotta go back to Aol online and Netscape navigator. He
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't just move the needle. Lebron is the needle, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: people freak out and this is not the time to
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: talk about it. People have said, well, what's gonna happen
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: when Lebron is done the next couple of years. He's
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: gonna be playing forever, And it's like there's always somebody
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: else that comes along, because it just it's just the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: way it is. I remember when Michael Jordan was playing
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: and we were doing this and said, wow, no one
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: will ever be as good as Jordan. And then who's
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: gonna move the needle when Jordan's gone? And usually takes
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a couple of years, and then everyone moves up a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: couple of slots. And then when Kobe Bryant became the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: man for a couple of years there, and then when
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Kobe retires.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, one's gonna have replace you know, Kobe.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: But then Lebron was kind of there at the same time,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: so it was like, that's gonna happen all right now,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: turning the page to Motown to Mowtown.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Injury update. Injury update.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: All Star guard Kate Cunningham of the top team in
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons down for the count.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: A collapsed left long That is not your normal basketball injury.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: That's an injury you get in a car accident or
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: playing football. Yeah, Kate Cuttingham's gonna miss. I love I say, oh,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I'm miss at least two weeks, possibly more. I'm gonna
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: bet on the possibly more part of that. Anybody want
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: in on that action? Yeah, So Detroit said he will
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: be reevaluated in a couple of weeks, much like Steph
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Curry's been reevaluated every ten days.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: It's like, come on now.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Kate Cuttingham is having an unbelievably great season. He has
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: gone gamebusters this year for the Pistons. He's averaging almost
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: twenty five points a game, almost ten assists per game,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: and is on pace to have be the first player
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: in franchise history in a Detroit uniform to put up
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: those numbers. And he would only be the eighth player
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: ever to average those numbers if he finishes the season
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: with as many points and assists per game. So he
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: has been a gold bar for the Pistons, and that
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: gold bar right now has a crack in it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: So the question what is the word?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: What is the word for Pistons star Caid Cuttingham suffering
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a collapse lung and he'll be out for a while.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: So you want a word for kid Cunningham his lung
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: giving out. I'm gonna go with I'll give you two words.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Eight ball eight ball why because that is exactly where
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the Pistons are now pinned right now. This is a
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: kick to the nuts, is what this is. Caid Cunningham
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: having the career year. This is why, this is what
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: he was supposed to be. It was really shaky. The
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Pistons were terrible, former number one overall pick, and it
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, this guy's not the ability look pretty mediocre.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Now, to his credit, he's gotten a lot better. This year.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Just looked like he was gonna be a second level
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: NBA player and he's found another level, which is good
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: for him, so of course better players around him at
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the magic carpet ride of a season. And now, as
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the late great Brian Wheeler would say, wheels, it is deflating,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: dented and derailed for the moment. And this isn't some
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: fender bender. This is like a fifty car pile up
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: on the expressway. The comps. If you look at other
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: players in basketball that have suffered this injury, the last
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: player to have this injury was Dame Lillard, who actually
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: had it twice, and if you look at him and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: the other people, the average games missed is eleven. So
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: NBA teams usually play four games a week, give or
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: take sometimes three, sometimes more, but usually usually fours the
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: sweet spot, so that'd be two weeks in a couple
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: of days. That's what that says, which seems like it
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: should be longer. Of course, every injury is different people.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: We know how that works, right, People come back from injury.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Some guys just rub dirt on it. Some guys need
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: two years off like street clothes Anthony Davis or Kawhi Leonard,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: guys like that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: So it just depends. We're talking. We're not talking about
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: a stub toe though.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: This is a collapse lung right collapse long and they
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: say he could be back for the playoffs.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Could as a weasel word, Pop goes the weasel.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: The other thing that no one's talking about with Kate
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Cunningham is this, if he does miss the rest of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the regular season, he will be under the threshold. The
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: sixty five game rule will pop up and Pop goes
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the MVP.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Also the All NBA team, he will be ineligible.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: And he is He's a Joe boxer, the legendary Joe
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Louis boxer Joe Lewis fist with a shattered wrist at
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: this point, essentially, so the power is there, the intent
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: is there, and the delivery not looking so good. So
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: even if he does return for the postseason, I'm talking
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: about Kid Cuttingham of the Pistons collapse.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Long is he a decoy? Does he become a ghost?
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You don't normally just bounce back from a deflated organ
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: like in the movies you do in real life. No,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: you don't just go all of a sudden, go out
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: there and start dropping thirty points like your moneyball Maller
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Playoffs, and we're.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Staring at a total collapse, not of the heart, a
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: total collapse of the lung. And it's gonna be like
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the the Michigan Water Service Center over there in Flint,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: a little cloudy. The future is a little cloudy now
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: for the Pistons. And it's not like they were clearly
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: even though they have the top record, it's not like
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: they were clearly the team to be. And you'll get
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: the Celtics, the Pistons, the Knickerbockers. There's a bunch of
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: teams that are all kind of bundled up there that
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: they say, there's nobody that's guaranteed to really move on up.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: To a higher plateau. All right, final point, I want
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to change it up briefly.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I want to mention this in honor of Danny in Nashville,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: a big Titans fan. So the Tennessee Titans unveiled their
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: new uniforms last week. Now, we normally don't talk about laundry,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: because who cares about laundry. Bad teams changed logos, bad
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: teams change uniforms.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: That's what they do.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: So some eagle eyed Internet consumer noticed that there was
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: an error. There's a small error on the helmet of
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the new logo for the Tennessee Titans. That was a
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: subtle mistake. Let me try to explain this to you.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: So can you imagine the Titans new logo has a
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: t for Titans in Tennessee right there, and then there's
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: three stars around it. It has stars on both sides
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: of the logo and the helmet. Now, it turns out
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the logo, if you look at the logo that was
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: sent out, it does not match the helmet. And I
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: guess somebody didn't get the memo that the stars are
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: supposed to be tilted in the logo. They were tilted
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: the logo and the helmet. Two stars that were not
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: tilted on the helmet. So that's the issue.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Now, the question, I just this is a small thing,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but it's it's a bigger issue.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: How does here's the question, how does a multi billion
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: dollar institution.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Like the NFL, and in this case, an NFL team
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: like the Titans, have a logo glitch like this. The answer,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it's just a little thing.
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: It's just.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: However, it is symbolic of something bigger, and the answer
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: is simple. The answer is simple because nobody is actually
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: minding the store in the NFL. They're just keeping track
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of the cash register. And this is just being brushed
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: off as a small most it's not that big a deal,
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: which is nonsense. It is a neon highlighter on the
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: modern sports business model, which is to charge you more
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: and me more and deliver less and hope that nobody
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: complains too much and nobody looks too closely, whether it's the.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Fifty dollars hats that should be about twenty five dollars
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: at the most, or any.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Other We're in the golden era of price gouging. We're
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: in the golden era of price gouging right now, and
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: the merchandise costs have ballooned into the absurd, the cypress
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: hill insane to the membrane tax on being a loyal fan.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: And yet while that has happened, so you've got these
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: ships passing that if you look at my malar Ven
• 17:48

  Speaker 2: the Jalen Brown story?
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Did you? Did you see this? You know about this?

  Speaker 1: All right? So Jalen Brown, he's playing very well for
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the Celtics this year.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And it was revealed by Jalen Brown that he has
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: met he has memorized every Celtic teammate's astrology and numerology.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet that. Yeah, I bet you he's a
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: fan of yours. I bet you Jalen Brown.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Who oh, by the way, went the cal He probably
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: he's probably aware of who you are and your work there.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And yeah. Brown revealed that.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: He has memorized each of his teammates astrological signs and
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: he tailors how he interacts with each of his teammates
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: based on that.
• 27:02
  Speaker 9: Yes, well that's the beauty of astrology. You see someone's
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: personality and you know you can relate more to it,
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: and you know it's another tool in the toolbag. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: think is really helpful to know that.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: And I'll be sure to check into that, Yeah, Jalen
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Jen Jalen Brown said that. He said, I learned communication
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: styles that work best for each individual, right, and started
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: utilizing that when.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I speak to each and every guy.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: I didn't know it would work before the season started,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: but that stuff definitely works.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: It's from Jalen Brown.
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: Yes, you know, the more information the better to see.
• 27:39
  Speaker 9: You know, someone's unique personality, what makes them tick, what
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: takes them off, how to communicate with them? You know,
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: it's twelve signs of the zodiac, and it's really good
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: to know the proclivities of each sign. And I'm curious
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: as to his I'm going to google him and look
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: him up. And I think it's great because that generation
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: is really very tuned in to astrology.
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: And he had memorized and there's a sound bite going around.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: He had memorized the signs obviously off the zodiac calendar,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: all the astrology and numerology and all.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: That, and he just started, can you name them all?
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Then? Oh god, no no, but I'm not the expert.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Andrea is the expert. Can you, Lorena, can you name really?

• 32:41
  Speaker 1: did trade him.
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: I trade him, Huh.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: They did, just like buying something on Amazon them returning it.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I was hearing some fishy story about what happened. Apparently
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: when he went into the facility, the owner and and
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: uh and I don't know, some one of the like
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: the coach, because they didn't really want to talk to him.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: It's like, it's like the whole thing was just like
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: they wanted that Henderson from from Cincinnati and they thought
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: they were going to be able to sign both of them,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: and obviously with the salary cap you can't.
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: So the whole thing is kind of fishy that they
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: they did this. So I don't know. Like I said,
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: I personally am thrilled to death of either.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Right, if he failed, maybe he will.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Stay a Raider, but they said he had to be back,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: and why would you trade him now? Wouldn't makes sense.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: But you're right, anything can happen in this crazy world, Ben,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: So we're right now. Draft time, someone might offer him
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: two first round draft picks and then there he goes like, hey,
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: they signed a lot of good players, so maybe I'm
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: not going to hold my best.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: Maybe the Raiders might be competitive this year. What do
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: you think, Ben?
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: What is your definition of competitive? What would that?
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: Well, maybe win like six games? Maybe yes?
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, yes, so the Raiders would go six and eleven,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: that would be enough. That's how bad things are for
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: the Raiders. They've recoiled so far back that six wins
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: seems like it's.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: A great yard. Well, I don't think they'll win six games,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: but thank you.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: And and one last thing though, Ben, what do you think?
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: And I think your Clippers are gonna do a lot better,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you know, the My Warriors are just they're not even
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: gonna they're not even gonna stay in the plane at
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: this point.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, man, Clippers, man, I don't know why they've
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: lost for in a row too, so they're falling both
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: these teams. It's a it's a race for futility between
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: the Warriors and the Clippers here down the home stretch in.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: The NB A right, thank you sir. There you know
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: our friend. We love him.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: He's a great character in the show Mojoe Rising, Mojoe Rise.

  Speaker 2: and Kid Cunningham and who he would vote for, and
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Webby said he would vote for himself.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Now, Wembany's like a likable kid, you know, he's a
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: young dude and all that. But some guys say that
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: and like, oh, this guy's a douche. Wemby said it.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Nobody seems all that upset, Like they're like, okay, he
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: said he would vote for himself, but other people say that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, this guy's a loser. We hate this guy,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: but we like Wemby. So it's okay. It's an honest answer.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I like that he's honest.

  Speaker 7: This is one big Ben gets grilled come.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: Last week, the Carolina Panthers signed Kenny Pickett to back
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: up Bryce Young, which means they were free to trade
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Andy Dalton. They did just that on Wednesday, sending him
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: to the Eagles. Then would you rather have Dalton or
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: Picket at your backup quarterback?
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: I would want to have none of the above. You're
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: cooked either way. It's you're damned if you do You're
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: damned if you don't. Like Dalton occasionally has a good game.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I have not seen Kenny Pickett have a good game.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: So if you put a knife to my throat, I
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: would take Dalton. But I really don't want any one
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: of them because you're screwed if he the one's playing next.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: So before their Round one matchup, Carlos Boozer was hyping
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: up his son this week when he labeled Cameron as
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: a modern day Tim Duncan.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it looked really good in that first game for Duke.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: Did Boozer horse tap anyway? Yeah.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: He also said that teams that pass on his son
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: would regret it for the next fifteen years. But do
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: you think Boozer will be that big of a star.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Well, he's got as I'll be keeping it real. Yeah,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: he's got a chance to be a big time star
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: in the NBA. Can you be a big time star
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: if we were the Sacramento Kings, Probably not he's got
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: to end up in the right situation.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: So he's got this a family business. I'd like to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna be.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Better than his dad, Carlos Boozer, the original Boozer next,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: but what name Boozer?
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: The Warriors have been without Steph Curry since January thirtieth.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: They've gone six and twelve without him. It's not being
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: reported that Krek could return by the end of the
• 39:59
  Speaker 5: March ben How much does the Warriors playoff out look
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: improved with Curry returning.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Nah, it doesn't matter. They needed Jimmy Butler. He's been
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: out for a while. He's out for the year. He's
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: not coming back. So that's that's That ship be sinking.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: The ship in Golden State be sinking. Obviously Curry makes
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: them better, but they're not going to do anything in
• 40:16
