  Speaker 1: does Bradley Beal go at the fork in the road
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that he's having with the Suns. Also, are you picking
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: up what Kentavious calledwell Pope is putting down on what
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: makes a superstar? We'll discuss that. And does Jonas Valancunis
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: have ulterior motives by threatening to leave the NBA, never
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: play for the Nuggets after he was traded this week
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and go playing grease. We'll go there as well. It's
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: all coming your way right now here. It is our
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: number two. It is not Veal, it is Beal. Welcome
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: in the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We're doing it live in the air every aware as
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: we talk continuously the Malard Marathon, the day night Malard Marathons.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We try not to fall off the map coast border
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to border and beyond on the mast and magnificently powerful
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: microphones of fs are a modating live from the chow
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: as in the chow line, serving up fresh piping hot
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: sports takes all night long from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: as approved by the newest member of the Malard Militia,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Don in Duluth, who was sworn in in the previous
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: episode of the show, the Great Don in Duluth, Who's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: very excited about that and will anyone be sworn in
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: here on the fourth of July. Stay tuned, but this
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For over
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: forty years, ti Iraq has been helping customers find the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: right tires for how and where they drive, ship fast
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and freedback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot Com The
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Way Tire Buying Show be so our lead. This hour
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is from the Valley of the Sun and a big shakeup.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Now it hasn't happened yet, big shakeup though on tap,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: allegedly in the Grand Canyon State, like a monsoon coming
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in this time of the year. If you have not
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: been paying attention to the scuttle but perhaps not, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: have learned that the once proud Sons basketball team discussing
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a potential massive buyout of Bradley Beal. It would be
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: by buy Beal is what it would be now if
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you have not paid attention, Bradley Beal's time in Phoenix
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: has been the daily double. It has been injuries and
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: underwhelming performers. Now since Bradley Beal is one of only
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: two two players in the entire NBA with a no
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: trade clause. You know who the other one is. It's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: not Bronnie No, it's not Bronnie j No, not Luca No,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: not Jason Table, not Steph Curry, Lebron Yeah. So Bradley
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Beal and lebron the only players with no trade clause
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is now. Beal has been incredibly difficult for the Suns
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: to handle because he's bad at basketball right now and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: they can't get rid of him. So if he accepts
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a buyout that if he does that, he would have
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to give up his no trade class because he wouldn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: be able to contract anymore. He would also be an
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: unrestricted free agent allowed to roam around the NBA. I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: know you're very concerned about where he ends up in
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the United States or Canada once he clears waivers. Now
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Phoenix will need Bradley Beal to leave a good chunk
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of money on the table. Now, per the rules, not
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to get the manu sha, but per the rules, the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: amount of salary the sons have finagled the books. Now
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm a salary cap truther. I'm a salary cap truther.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: But they cannot exceed fifteen percent of the salary cap
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the salary they stretch out. So it's I'm not an
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: accountant either of you, I assume. So let us discuss
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the question where does Bradley beal go. He's at a
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: fork in the road. Where does Bradley beal go at
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: this fork in the road with the suns. So I've
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: got quantum leap, inflation crisis, and one legged duck quack
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: quack quack quack will combine all of these things together,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and we are going to make a delicious cheese steak sandwich,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: which hot take better than a hot dog, better than
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: a burger. The cheese steak sam properly may properly may
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: proper amount of cheese, proper amount of steak, and then
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a proper amount of onion pepper. All that all right?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So number wa, I said, number Wa, Bradley beer. What
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he's trying to do here is a hoodini. He's trying
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: to Hoodeni his way out of the gilded cage covered
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: in gold, And he's the one that built the gilded cage?
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Right will he or won't he? So right now, oh
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the drama, Bradley Beal is staring down a desert mirage
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: there in Arizona. It's the ghost of his own past
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and his past decisions, and so he's like, what am
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I going to do? Well, it's right there in front.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It's like a heatstroke hallucination over the valley of the Sun.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Now he's taken since he put on that Sun's uniform,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he has taken part and a very public quantum leap.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: He has gone from underrated stars stuck in DC right
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: with ostrich Ant Washington played basketball and nobody else and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, all boohoo, Bradley Beal good play on a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: bad team, if only he played on a good team.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And then he went to a team that was supposed
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: to be good. And now he's changed his identity. Bradley
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Beal now identifies as overpaid bust with a no trade falls.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's his new identity. So that's a quantum leap. And
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: so he's not just trying to leave Phoenix. He's trying
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: to rewrite the narrative, assuming he cares about that before
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it fossilizes, and that's it. Bradley Beal needs to agree
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: to give up a large amount of the one hundred
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and ten point eight million in guaranteed salary remaining on
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: his contract for all of that to take place. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: it's an easy move.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: The Malord think tank has been activated. Here's the advice,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: unsolicited overnight talk radio advice to Bradley Beial. You give
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: up twenty point eight million of the one hundred and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: ten point eight million. You give up twenty point eight million.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: That gets you down to ninety million dollars. And if
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you can't make ends meet on ninety million dollars, you've
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: done something terribly wrong. It is still larger. Ninety million
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: dollars is larger than the lottery payout in pretty much
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: every state right now in these United States on the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: fourth of July for reference, Lotto Texas the jackpot is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: thirty three and a half million, the New York Lottery
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: fifteen point three million. How about Mega Millions, which is
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in a number of states across the country sixty million dollars.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: So Bradley Beal, if he gave up twenty point eight,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he would still have thirty million dollars more coming to
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: him than the current jackpot in the Mega millions. And
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you can make that money back. And what do you do?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: You get into it the into It Dome in the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Hood and Inglewood. That's where Steve Balmer's Clippers play in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: LA and Balmer not only owns the Clippers, he's also
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: been running a reputation rehab where he brings in troubled
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: NBA players, much to my dismay, like Ben Simmons and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back, Russell Westbrook. If you're on
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: the NBA scrap heap made a lot of money and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: used to be good, the Clippers will take you, no
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: questions asked, no questions asked, and Bradley Meal come on down,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: all right. Meanwhile, we now go to the words of KCP,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: not KFC KCP. That's Kentavious Caldwell Pope, not a real pope.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He's a journeyman guard. So he recently explained in a
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: podcast interview that both Tyrese Haliburton and Donovan Spider Mitchell
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: are not superstars o MG. Now for Kentavious Callwell Pope,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: he says a superstar must be held to a higher standard,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and he believes that it's the consistency that sets apart
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the best of the best. That was his argument, he says.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: He mentioned Lebron and Sga and Nicole jokichen Giannis who
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: almost always complete the deal. They don't disappear in playoff
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: games and all that, and they contribute to the box score.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: He has a lot of people get stats in basketball
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and low information fans think they're better than they are.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: So question, are you picking up what Conavious colboll Pope
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: is trying to put down here on what makes a superstar?
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So on this one, after a minutes long Mallard deliberation,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: I am nodding my head. Yes, Kentavious decided to light
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a match on the fourth of July. Well it was
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: actually earlier on that, but light a match under the
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: what he believes is the myth of Tyrese Haliburton and
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell and their stardom. So I would like to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: rephrase the argument because I think I can phrase it better.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: So I'd like to rephrase it the NBA. What he's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: saying to me, this is how I interpret it. Like
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: fine art. The NBA has a superstar inflation crisis, a
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: superstar inflation crisis. And what he's saying is everyone who
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: has a jump shot and you know, some kind of
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: signature shoe and a sizzle reel on social media is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: knighted like they're the reincarnation of Air Jordan. You might
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: remember during the the finals, SGA was being compared to
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, who goofed. I've got to know so anyway,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: col Wo Pope, he didn't mince his words. He called
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Haliburton a fifty to fifty guy and said he would
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: not build the team around Spider Mitchell. Why because he
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: said the superstars they don't just fill the statue, they win,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: they elevate their teams and all that. He show up
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: in the on the big stage. All those cliches, right,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: all those cliches, and the reference was to Halliburton, who
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: made several game winning shots in the playoff, like that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: shot at Madison Square Garden one of the great postseason
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: shots that I've seen in a long time in my life.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: It's got to be top five playoff shot. Most of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the other ones are mister big Shot, Robert Orri but
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Halliburton made several big shots. He also had four points
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and was oer of six. Remember that playoff game, but
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: it was game five of the finals against against okay See.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Had four points and no field goals made, no field
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: goals made. Now, Spider Mitchell is the NBA's version in Cleveland,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and he was the same way in Utah. He's the
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: summer blockbuster that never gets any oscar buzz because it's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: got cartoon characters in it. It's loud, you know, a
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: lot of explosions, it's flashy, and then yeah, I kind
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of forget about it, and by the time the buttered
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: popcorn has left the bucket, you've moved on to something else.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: But a superstar isn't just someone who gets the baskets right,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: someone who changes the temperature the room. And so I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: would combine what he said he being the aforementioned Kentavious
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: called Will Pope with what Magic Johnson said. We talked
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: about this in a previous episode of So Magic's on
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a yacht right now with Rodney Pete somewhere in Europe.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: But Magic Johnson said that a true superstar doesn't just dominate,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they fill the arena. Now, he also talked about inspirational that,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: but I box office like, that's a big part of it.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: And are people going out of their way to buy
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: tickets to watch Spider Mitchell eh no sga eh now
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: all right, final point, developing drama, developing weekend drama, Mile
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: High City. The Nuggets made a move which is not
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: official yet as the teas have not been crossed and
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the eyes have not been dieted dotted. The newest addition
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to the Nuggets, Yonas Valentunis, great name, great regular season player,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: limited in the playoffs. Limited in the playoffs. So Yonas
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Valentiunis was traded from Sacramento to Denver's not official yet.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: He may never play for the Nuggets. May never play
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: for the Nuggets. After all, He's thirty three years old
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: from Lithuania and the reports we're hearing now he's close
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to accepting an offer from a Greek powerhouse team in
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Athens to move to Athens and play there. Valentunas could
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: soon sign a three year contract twelve million dollars. There's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a problem, he's currently under contract with the Sacramento Kings.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: That contract is going to be transferred to the Denver
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Nuggets for ten point four million for one year, So
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: that NBA contract includes a team option to extend him
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: for another year. It's beginning to look to some as
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: low Valenternists would actually prefer to play overseas. And so
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: that news comes just a couple of days after that
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: trade was announced. Not a major trade, but people are
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: getting all horny because the Nuggets improve their bench and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Valenteris is supposed to be part of that. Denver unloaded
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: one of their bad contracts to get Valenteers. So the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: question does Yonas Valentnis have ulterior motives by threatening to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: leave the NBA before he ever wears a Nuggets uniform
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and go play for a team in Greece? So does
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: he have ulterior motives? Does a one legged duck swimming
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: circle bingo? Right? And this is not about I want
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: to be clear, this is not where he actually wants
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: to play for the team in Greece. I don't buy that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: This is not Wonder Lost or anything like that. It
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: is a contract negotiation with a side of sauce, Suzeki sauce.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I mean this is a classic euro I'm dangling this
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: European contract and everyone knows the playbook. We've seen this before.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: It hasn't been used that often recently, but Valentis is like, listen,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go play for the Nuggets. You're gonna have
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: me as a backup, which means my stats aren't gonna
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: be that good. I'm thirty three. By the time I'm
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: up for my next contract, i'll be thirty four years old,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: and nobody's gonna pay me the amount of money I want.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: So give me another year or guarantee you're gonna buy
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: out my contract and I'll be able to be a
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: free agent at the end of the year. Right, So
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: he's essentially he's looking at his money. He realizes he's
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: passed his prime. Valentiunis. He's like, all right, I'll take
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: my hammer and I'll crack open the piggy bank and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: I'll hornswoggle the Nuggets to pay me to be a backup,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and I'll squeeze a few more shekels out of the
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets or else I'll go eat. I'll eat some
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: great food in Athens, you know, seven days a week,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and I'll be loving that, just having a grand old time,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: amazing time. All right, is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

• 26:53
  Speaker 1: and it like made the local newspaper, and he had
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the photo of him in the in the newspaper. I
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: think I've got that right. I'm probably get butchering the story.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: But he showed me a news story of him getting
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: arrested for surfing, of all things. Yeah. Now, I know
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: that became hip during the pandemic when people were getting
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: arrested for stuff like that, But but back then that
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: was like what are you doing? I am my god?

• 28:54
  Speaker 4: You know, they got to hit you with the toll,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: and then he'll be on ninety five North and he'll
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: be year you know, probably like four and a half
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: five hours.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: We'll be looked forward to seeing him like that sounds
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: like a man that has made that drive many times.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: That is a sid, a veteran driver who's made the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: drive down to Jersey. I got you, yeah, so yeah,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: I was, I was interrupted. But how crazy is it? Because,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: as I was mentioning, you live in a place where
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: there's tons of people that go there on the fourth
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of July, right, it's one of the great vacation destinations
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: where you're at there.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: It's the beginning of the summer and it's the height
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: of the summer. So you know you got to make
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: hay while the sunshine. I mean obviously July and August,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: you know, we got plenty of summer and sunshine left.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: But this this weekend is when everybody wants to be here,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: the fourth of July, New England, Massachusetts, first in Freedom,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: the whole nine plus the centennial. So it's going to
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: be bonkers, you know, uh looking, you know, so you're
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: just taking in as much as you can. Again, we're
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: seasonal economy, so once the summer is over, people don't
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: realize we have to put up smoke signals to communicate.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: You know, it gets so quiet around here once so
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: all of the pop and circumstance and so.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: Two sides of the coin.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: But right now it's sunny, so you take it in
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: with a grain of salt. But Ben, I know you
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: got other calls specific. Listen, mister Bradley Bill, the situation
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: that's going going on here in Phoenix. Okay, as you said,
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: a little bit of sense, take the money. Okay, take
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: the buyout, right, go be with Daddy Warbucks in the
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: clippers Land or whatever whoever will take you to add
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: on to the money that the Phoenix Suns give you,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: all right, and then just both sides can can get
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: a win win out of this, rather than you're holding
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: the Phoenix Suns toss if they don't know what they're
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: gonna do. I mean, matt Ishpia comes in full of
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: smitten vinegar. He's a billionaire. He's gonna make the team
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: win immediately.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I e.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Mchel broke rough tried this with the Brooklyn Nets. He
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: didn't seem to learn that it takes time when you
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: do these things. And now he's in a situation he's luck.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: You know, he's beholden to Bradley Beal to help him
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: to get his franchise back. So for Beal's sake, to
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: take your money and you can move on and be successful.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: But in terms of matt Ishpia, he's talking about giving
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Bradley Bial one hundred and fifty million dollars over two years,
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: you know, just throwing the bag at Bradley, essentially begging
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: Radlely be able to stay so we can have somewhat
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: of a respectable franchise. So it's a lot of wildness
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: going on in the Valley of the Sun. Hopefully it's
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: able to be resolved. Everybody gets their money, everybody moves
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: on to greener pastures and maybe learn a little bit
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: from what we're doing on the cake before I kick it.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Over.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: You know, a little bit of a little bit of
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: common ground.
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Right. We got people from all over the place here.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: You know, they don't know how to drive in a rotary.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: They're filling up my back roads.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: But we're gonna make it work. We're gonna do it together.
• 31:22

• 34:39
  Speaker 1: me my opinion, I think is a shyster. Right, these
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: these fights, I I'm my opinion, I think they're bull crap,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: most of them, if not all of them. So he
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: fought recently, Julio Caesar Chavez Junior. Do you see what
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: happened to this guy? So he fought him? I guess
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: in Anaheim a few days back, and U now he
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: has been the man that he bought fought Jake Paul's
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: opponent there, Julio Caesar Chavis Junior, has been detained by
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Ice and is facing deportation back to Mexico because he's
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: allegedly tied to the cartel. They're claiming he's tied to
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: the cartel, which is wild on many levels. If if true, man,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: what a yeah, what a crazy thing. Man? That's uh,

  Speaker 1: We should see if you a final remember that Trump drop.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: It's fed up behind beyond belief. He said that the
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: other day. We gotta get that as a draw. That'd
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: be a solid D because that's a guy that's like
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: an f up story beyond belief. I mean, who knows
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: what that's true or not. We'll find out now now
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: to prove moving on from that, I now will prove
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you're getting old. So the Washington Nationals have a player
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: named James Have you seen this guy, James Wood. You've
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: heard about him. He's been hitting the you know what
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: out of the ball, doing very well for the Nationals.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: And the reason he's doing very well James Wood, is
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: because he's got n attitude. That's why he's got a lot
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: of nattitude. He was drafted by the Padres in the
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: second round originally from I was born in Maryland, went
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: to a high school, one of those baseball academies and
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: all that. But he's drafted out of high school. And
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: so he was part of the one Soto trade to
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the Nationals. And this guy has been balling. I think
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: he's got twenty plus home runs now and sixty plus RBIs.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: He's doing really well. So he's going to be in
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the home run Dirt might have heard that mention, right,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Brie and others have mentioned that. So James Wood going
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: to be the home run Derby, And he said he
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: was asked about the Home Run Derby, Like, what's your
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: favorite moment in the home run Derby? The one that
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: stands out? And James Wood said he fondly remembers as
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: a child, as a kid watching Bryce Harper win the
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: home run derby in Washington, DC, as a kid. That
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: was twenty eighteen. Okay, twenty eighteen, which does actually make
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: sense if you do the math on this. You do
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: the math on this. So James Wood was born in
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: September of two, so he was in high school, right,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: he was like fifteen years old in twenty eighteen. So
• 37:37
