• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Radio coming up later this hour in a few minutes
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: old Man Radio. But we begin in the Grand Canyon State.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about this raising Arizona, at least raising the
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: payroll of Arizona. Money money, money, big money, big money,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: big money. No Waymies stop.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Right in the valley, the Valley of the Sun.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: So if you didn't see this or hear about it,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: news came down kind of late in the day. D
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: book got paid.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Sun superstar Devin Booker has agreed to a two year,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty five million dollar max extension that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: keeps him under contract through the twenty twenty nine twenty
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: thirty season. And now this has led the Phoenix fanatics,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Marching and Chowder Society of the Suns there praising
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Devin Booker for his loyalty to the land of the Cacti.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Is that how you see it?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Do you agree with the sentiment of a good chunk
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of the fan base of the Suns that this is
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a loyalty play by Devin Booker So I've got kidney, Spago,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and Deli counter, and we will combine all of these
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to make a crackpot. Now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: crackpot is a person that thinks this is because of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: loyalty's that's a crackpot, all right, absolutely not. I am
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty degrees the opposite direction. Now must
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: be a different dimension that I resided than the people
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that are saying that in the multiverse. And this is
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: not a contract that Devin Booker got. This is a jackpot.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I did the Malor math, and if my math is correct,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that is seventy two and a half million dollars per year.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: He won't even play seventy two games a year for
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the Suns. It's powerball with a jump shot. Good for him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And yet, somehow, some way, there are so many fanboys
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: out there that an obvious money move here. And you
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: have the low information Neanderthal knuckle dragging fan you know who,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: you are treating this like Devin Booker just donated a
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: kidney to a hospital in Phoenix, Like, oh my god,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: he stead He's so loyal, Who my god, It's just amazing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: And they're clutching their foam fingers and they're they've got
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: that little gorilla mascot stuffies. It's not about loyalty. Devin
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Booker's rich. He was already rich. Now he's richer than rich.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: He's not giving the Sons a hometown discount. He's not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: sacrificing or anything like.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: That's a stop.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: He cashed in like this is like a hedge fund
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: manager on insider info, right, he got insider him.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: It is a hometown heist, is what it is.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And Devin Booker he didn't stay with the Suns because
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: he loves the desert sunsets and hanging out in a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: town where it's one hundred and fifty degrees part of
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the year, or the Southwestern cuisine. He stayed because the
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Suns offered him every dollar they legally could offer him
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: under the salary cap, and he said, yes, please, I
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: will take that. And I'd also like a statue to
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: gout in a doggy back? Can you put a statue
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: to go in a doggyback? So this is not like
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a feel good story. I have no problem Devin Booker
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: getting paid. He's a star. It's not my cup of
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: tea and all that. But I'm not a Suns fan.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: So if you like him, great, he puts up numbers.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're empty numbers. And you know, let's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: stop pretending it's a capitalism move. That's fine, but let's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: stop pretending this is some kind of Disney movie.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I see this reaction, I'm like, is this real?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Are there actually people that are living amongst us in
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the sports world that are like this.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: He didn't fall on a grenade. I mean, what are
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: you doing?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: He didn't rescue people, you know, like they I saw.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I was reading the story that tgity in Texas, the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: flood and a horrible story, and there was a guy
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: from the Coast Guard, this like first mission ever, this
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: guy in his twenties, I think it's twenty six, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: he rescued, like, helped rescue one hundred, one hundred people
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: more than that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: It's just crazy. That's that's a that's a hell of
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a story.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Anyway, all right now page two to La we Go,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: La La Land. So the new details out on the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: fallout from the Lakers record smashing ten ten billion. That's
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: ten million, ten billion, ten million, yeah, right, ten billion
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: dollars sale. So we are now hearing that it is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: official the deal allows Genie Bus to remain as the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: team's acting owned. Of course, the NBA won't say owner,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they're woke. They say governor anyway for at least five years.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Different report, however, from Front Office Sports says that Genie
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Bus will only be able to stay for at most
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: five years now. Either way, she is sticking around. The
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Bus family legacy will continue for a few more years.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So where do you stand on lame duc Genie Buss
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: continuing to be the face of Laker ownership.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: At league meetings.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: She has a seat at the table even though she
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: agreed to sell the franchise. All right, So when I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: first heard about this, I was like, wow, this is
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: just it was crazy, and I said, well, maybe this
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: won't actually happen, but it appears to have happened now.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So this feels like something you would This kind of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: a deal feels like something you would write on a
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: cocktail napkin at Spago during happy hour. It reminds me
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of one of my favorite radio stories. There was a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: guy named gene Autry. You probably don't know who that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is if you're below a certain age. If you're really old,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you know who gene Autry is. He was known as
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the Singing Cowboy back in the old days of country music.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Gene Autry and he owned a bunch of radio stations
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: on the Angels, a bunch of radio stations.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: And I heard from somebody.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That worked one of his radio stations, worked at the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: old KMPC, that gene Autry at the holiday party, at
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Christmas party would get completely hammered and would he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was very friendly. You know, there's different kinds of drunks.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: There's the angry drunk, there's a happy drunk. There's the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I will give out ridiculous contracts. So there was a story,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: famous radio story that was told early in my career
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: by somebody that worked for gene Autry that on the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: back of a napkin at a restaurant in Hollywood, he
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: signed one of his DJs to a lifetime contract that
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: did stand up in court, And that reminds me of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: he is like Genie bus probably was a Spago. She
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: had a cocktail a happy hour there, and she somehow
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: finagled I'll get five more years over at happy hour,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: five more seasons minimum or at the most.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Either way, that is not.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Governance is a co play. I mean this isn't about basketball.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: It's not about winning championships. It's about ego, right, It's
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: all about optics and ego. It's about walking into the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: arena there down on skid Row in LA and watching
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: nineteen thousand people nod and oh, look at that royalty.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You know, it's about making sure that she sticks around,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: because that's what it's all about. The Lakers sale agreement.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: It's like a prenup, very bizarre, right, It's got this
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: clause in there where it's like institutional sentimentality. It's not
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a business. It's like performance art in really expensive heels.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: At this point, and my belief maybe I'm wrong on this,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: but I have always said that the person that has
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the checkbook, the person that writes the checks, is the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: one with the power. So in this particular story, that
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: would be Mark Walter and the Goggenheim partners who bought
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the Lakers. They own the dots, also, not Genie Buss.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: So the blueprints have changed. They've transferred over the deed
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to the team, and Genie Buss is going around as
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the figurehead.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: She's like the Queen of England being.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Trotted out for ceremonial appearances. Have a spot of tea
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: while the real power brokers play geopolitical chess. Mark Walter
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and all them behind the velvet rope and all that stuff.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: But g you can walk on the red carpet, but
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: they'll take care of the business in the back. Now
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: final point, we now go old guy radio. Who that's right,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: We're doing old guy radio. So we flashback to a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: by God era long long ago and a much different
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: world in the NBA. So we learned that frank Leyden.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You might not know who that is. Frank Leyden, a
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: man that had the gift of gas, former coach of
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz led them to the playoffs for the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: first time.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: He's dead.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Now when I found out, we.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Were like, I didn't even know you were still alive.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, frank was an old guy when he was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: working in the NBA, but he made it all the
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: way to ninety three. Ninety three, So I wanted to
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: spend a few minutes going down memory lane. I think
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: it's important when someone that touched my sports fandom, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I absolutinly wasn't a Utah Jazz fan, but someone that
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: touched my fandom passes away. I think it's the proper respect.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: We used to do a six line tribute. Then they
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: changed the phone system and now we can't put six
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: lines on the air, so that went to hell. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the question what are you going to remember about long
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: ago jazz coach and he was the GAM as well
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: for years, Frank Layton. So the first thing is a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: life well lived? Ninety three is a great run ninety three.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I mean, we'd all take that right now, we'd sign
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: up for that.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: They give me ninety three. I'm good. I'm pretty good.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: The bigger than life personality, And I was thinking about
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: it when I was coming into the studio. Frank Layden's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: life story like an old school Hollywood comedy. It really
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: is like an old school Hollywood company. So if you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: don't know his backstory, this is a street wise guy,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: fat guy from Brooklyn, you know, typical over the top,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: in your face New York guy, right out of Central Casting,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and he ended up coaching the New Orleans Jazz. He
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: then got dropped into Mormon country and it's like he
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: took some kind of wrong turn. I think he was
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: coming out of the Holland Tunnel and he went the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: wrong way and then he ended up waking up in
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: some place in Salt Lake City holding a clipboard in
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the early nineteen eighties. Now you understand it was a
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: much different time in professional sports, this corporate buy crap
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: we have today in sports. Frank Laydon was a byproduct
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of a mom and pop era.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: In the NBA.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: He was the coach, he was the general manager, but
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: it looked like he belonged behind the deli counter, yelling next, right,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: who's got next?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: What do you want?
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So pastrami?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: What do you want?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Corn beef? Yeah, okay, roast beef, turkey.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Ham, what do you want?
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Like he could have been a taxi cab driver in
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: another life and nobody would have thought anything of it.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And he didn't waste his time crunching analytics and player
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: efficiency ratings.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: And all that crap.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Didn't worry about it. Didn't need a computer back then,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: when the computers were archaic. When he was doing his thing,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he had a rotary home landline, rotary phone, no cell phone,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and he picked players on gut instinct. Oh my god,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: if you win. He into the front offices of basketball,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: baseball and football and said, all right, no computers, no analytics,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you just got to go by your gut, how many
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: people would resign, how many people would have a heart attack.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: But back then it was just the way you did
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: things right. But the thing that I remember also about
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Frank Laydon the charisma that you can't teach. And I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: was watxing poetic about my early days. It was I
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: started in the radio business as a reporter, but it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: was it was in the early relative early nineties, and
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of the guys from the eighties were still
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, and it was such a different era,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: like Doug ma and Frank Layden and these big personalities
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: goofball coaches, and it was wonderful to get sound as
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a radio guy because they just gave the most ridiculous
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: quotes and it was wonderful. But Frank Laydon drafted John
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Stockton and Carl Malone back to back years, yeah, back
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: to back years in the draft, and one year we
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: got stocked. In the next year we got Carmelone Hall
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: of Famers to the all time greats. And I'll bet
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: you dollars to donuts that Frank Layden spent more time
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: choosing what kind of HOGI he was going to have
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: at lunch than he did scouting or you know, there
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: was no algorithms or anything like that, so he didn't
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: think about predictive models or any of that stuff, right, please, Yeah,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the idea of analytics, Frank Layden was from an era
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: where you shake a hand, you made a joke, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: you told the zinger, a one liner, a wisecrack, and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: he coached with a towel. Frank Layden slung over his shoulder,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: was already sweaty.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: At the old Salt Palace there in.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake City. And it always looked like he when
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he was coaching, it looked like he was working at
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the YMCA and he was going to clean the court
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: and grab the mop. And his news conferences would be
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: stand up comedy and was back in those days, you
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: just criticized the players, and that's just just goof on. Now,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: if you criticize the players, there's a war tribunal, you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: lose the locker room. Back then, you know, oh that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: guy's fat, that guy's out of shape. You know that
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: guy's a loser. That guy should know. But it was

  Speaker 2: see here.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Matt Jack writes in, says Malard, I know it didn't
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: make much sense for Nolan Aronato to go to the
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Dodger for while, But with Max Munsey and Key k Out,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: should they trade for the gold glover? Or is that

  Speaker 1: the don't let a falling star fall on you, says
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: the aforementioned mad Jack. Not just for the record, I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: just wanted to pause there. There was no gremlin attack.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I was fully connected. I don't know what happened. They're
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: very odd.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I never never lost any connection anyway.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I was talking about Nolan Aernado, I believe, but I
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: was rudely interrupted by Twilight Zone music mad Jack. I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: do not see Nolan Ernado going to the to the Doyers,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: although he's a southern California guy. Shanon Moin writes, In says,

• 22:00
  Speaker 1: He says, they are a combined c plus, Well, you
• 22:03

  Speaker 1: I am look at me. I'm here right now six
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: months for the bag. We'll get to that. Also, it's
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a burner. It is a burner.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: We'll go there as well.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones, and where shall we go.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Andre and his dog Willis out
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre, Hello Ben, It's good to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: be with you.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: Willis and I. We're out here on a walk, beautiful
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: day in the neighborhood. So we're out here getting our exercise.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: But speaking of somebody who's gonna need some exercise, Ben,
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: talking about Devin Booker here, okay? And what is seventy
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: five million that he's given a year? So you noted
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: that he has a portion of the Grand Canyon for
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: my money, they probably threw in the Colorado River too.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: How about the Hoover Dam. Okay, as a part of
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: his deal, because all he's going to really try to
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: do and for me is do what Kobe Bryant did
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: in two thousand and five, which is getting empty Calori stats.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: He's going to lead the league in scoring thirty five
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: points a game. Right, They're going to be right back
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: in the basement, right back in the lottery. But the
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: whole team is centered around him doing whatever the heck
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: that he wants.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Now there is about Andre before we move on here.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So they're they're going to give Devin Booker the Hoover Dam,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: which is in Nevada, not even in Arizonas. That's how
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: big this contract is. They're actually gonna give him property
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: in Nevada.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Right, give him some sat scope, you know, throwing some
• 23:32
  Speaker 5: ski slopes there.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: And how about how about this, how about he can
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: get a share of parking ticket revenue from Albuquerque?
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Okay, to talk to Walter White and make it work,
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: throw that into the deal. But the bottom line is,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: you know, this is kind of putting a band aid
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: on dumpster fire that the Phoenix Suns have been with
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: Madeshfia trying to get with his get rich quick schemes,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: you know, getting rid of Hall of Fame. Excuse me,
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: championship coach. I don't know about Hall of Fame, but
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Frank Bodwin coach, Bud they most certainly both won championships
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: and he got rid of them in the year and
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: try to you know, strike lightning in a bottle. Wilson
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: doesn't agree with this with Bradley bial Get, you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: bringing him in with his no trade clause. So listen,
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: on paper, you can sell people potential, you can sell
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: people the future. But from my mind, if they have
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: the opportunity with Jaialen Green, if they can trade him,
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: possibly to a Detroit, get some young assets from Detroit,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: then bring them back. Then they can start to build
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: for the future. If not, if you bring back Jailing
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Green Devin Booker, we already know two ball dominant scoring guards.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: They're both going to get a lot of points. You
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: can sell people on that. And they're gonna be in
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: the basement. They're gonna be in the aj Devance the
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: sweet Steak. So I just you know, and there's got
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: to be all the stuff with the players and the coaches.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Mott is be a mister billionaire. Is it possible for billionaires?
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Is there anybody out there that's like McKenzie Bezos write
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: this billionaire who gives all her money away and seems
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: to focus on Zell and trowthropic opportunities. If Field look
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: at yourself in the mirror, take a step back, I e.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: George Steinbrenner after his debacle, and then let your basketball
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: people make their decisions. I think then the Suns can
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: have a little bit of success. So me and Willis,
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: we're having some success here. He's amped up right out
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: here in the middle of nowhere. I had to put
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: my flash flight down. So we're gonna go back and
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: get that. But it's a beautiful night here in the Cape,
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: you know, peak humidity, you know, so we're getting our
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: steps in and hey, they might they might throw in
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: the Cape Cod Canal for Devin Booker.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know, they might get party of the canal.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, he can.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Afford to He can now afford to live on the Cape.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: So Devin Booker, he can afford to live anywhere he
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: wants on the Cape. He can get his own ferry
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: if he wants. Uh, he's got that kind of cash.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you. There's Andre and his dog
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Willis what he's trying to say is the sons were
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: a I think he's saying they're a ghost ship. I
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: think that's what he was getting at there. It's some
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: kind of love that movie Ghosts.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ghost ship. Yeah, I think that's that's what that is. Anyway.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Uh So the bad with math story, we'll get to
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that later. But six months for the bag, is it true?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: A former NBA star, an All star, a reality TV
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: star famously got married and now after six months of marriage, separation,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: going to divorce, and his wife asking a divorce court
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: for alimony, assets and property. After six months six months
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: of marriage. We are talking about none other than Dwight Howard. Say,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: TMZ is all over this. They have the court documents
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: on this. That Dwight Howard and his wife, who also
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: happens to be a reality star and rapper, Amber Rose Howard,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: better known as her stage name. She has filed for
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: divorce in Georgia and in the documents she's asked for alimony. Boy,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that that woman, she's got big balls. She is requesting
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: that all marital assets and property be equally equitably divided
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: equitably provided, which is a legal bull craft there. So
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: she wants property, the whole thing. She's in Howard. That's
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: we're talking about a lot of money, Howard. Dwight Howard
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: earned two hundred and forty million during his NBA career
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: with Orlando and the Lakers, a bunch of other teams.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: And the most amazing part of the story, You know what,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the most amazing part of the story is how dumb
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Dwight Howard is. There's one thing missing from this story.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: You want to think, I guess what this one thing is.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: You know what it is? You're shaking your head, Yes, Yeah,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Dwight Howard Dwight Howard, despite having two hundred forty million
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: being made in his career, decided to get married. He
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: was so horny he did not get a prenuptial agreement.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: He's now This woman must have been amazing in bed.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: He's now at the mercy of the court in Georgia.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: And you imagine you married for six months, you could
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: lose half of your money, like one hundred million dollars
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: because you didn't bother to get a pre nuptial agreement.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: That is wild man. And she's asking for everything. Well,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: you can ask for anything, but you know it doesn't
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: mean you're gonna get it, but you ask, right, there
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: should be a timeline, like you have to be married
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: longer than six months to be able to get anything.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: You would think, so like if if you're you know,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: there's some people who want to get you know, become
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: a citizen.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: They'll get married. You know, there's some racket for that.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: But don't you have to be married for a certain
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: amount of time and you can't just get married and
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: then get divorced right away or the whole thing. I
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: think there's a straight yeah, yeah, I think there's like
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of time you have to be married,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and if you know you're not, then it does not work.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: So that ain't my problem. That's Dwight Howard's problem. And
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: that does seem like a problem though. That does seem
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: problematic for Dwight Howard.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: So they were, they were in love and now not
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: so much. Let's go to.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Tristan, Who's deep in the heart of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Texas and Tristan is next. It is the Bane Maler Show. Hello, Tristan, welcome.
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Hello. I wanted to talk about the Sodo debarcle kind
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: of put in more understandable terms, the seven hundred and
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: sixty five million dollar contract. Complaining about losing out on
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: one hundred thousand dollars If you make sixty thousand dollars
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: a year, that's like complaining about missing on a seven
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: dollars and eighty six cent bonus. That's just ridiculous.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Oh I like that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: That's good, Tristan, that's good.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so you'd be upset about less than eight dollars,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: is what you're saying.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: No, if I was missing out on eight dollars, I
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: would just cut my losses and just deal with it.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, And some people as one of our listeners said, think, well,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: he's being sarcastic.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: I don't think he was being sarcastical.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I saw the clip.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I saw the audio. I heard the audio.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: I saw the clip, and I it seemed like he
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: was being sarcastic. He doesn't seem like the kind of
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: guy Won Soto that does sarcasms.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: So uh yeah, all right, well there you go. Well,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: thank you for the math, Tristan. I appreciate that. Everything good, Yes,
• 30:06

• 31:29
  Speaker 7: We were talking about origins now, since you already talked
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: about the anchor bar. So yeah, we're just covers.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, what we do. And the French dip sandwich,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: the modern French dip originated in Los Angeles. There was
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: a great rivalry between Coles and Philip's. Now Cole's is closing.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: I saw yesterday very upset. I used to I used
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: to live in near downtown. I used to eat at
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Coals quite a bit. I'm very bummed out. It's been
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: around for one hundred years, I think close two hundred
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: years something like that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: And over that hundred and seventeen or something like that,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: one hundred and.
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Seventeen year restaurant and they're closing. I'm amazed they lasted
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: this long, though, because they're literally right at the start
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of skin row, like I mean, like the point of demarcation.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: But I was bummed out about that.

  Speaker 1: But yeah, So, any other Food Fund facts we have
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: for the for the show anything?
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I don't have any more Food Fund facts,

  Speaker 7: but I did want to.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Work how about this, you know what they you know
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: what they call sour dough bread in San Francisco bread.

  Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, well I used to live in the Bay Area,
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: so yeah, but no, I want to weigh in on
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: how much I'm also against the robot umps because I
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: believe that umpires are just as much a part of
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: the game as a pitcher or a catcher. Like even
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: though you know, Angel was terrible and whatever, but it
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: added personality and difference to every game, and you had
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: to like research what MP's called strike zones what way
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: and think about it.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I agree. Baseball didn't like that though. Baseball
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: hated that the umpires.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: All had huge egos.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And I remember there was a guy named country Joe West,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: and that guy always made the game about him and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: baseball people that the league office hated Joe West and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: they couldn't stand these bigger than life.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: There was a point when the umpire was part of
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: the show.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: But now I couldn't name more than two umpires in
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: baseball right now, I couldn't name more than two.
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: Now I have personality anymore. They got rid of all
• 33:29
  Speaker 7: the guys that were calling the problems.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're all lifeless guys and all that, but they
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: make good I can say, I can name Randy Wolfe's
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: brother is still an umpire.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: I can name him. There's like one other guy.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: All right, I got to leave it there, Kelly, thank you.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I have a hard networkout. As they say, hard networkout.

• 37:05
  Speaker 8: Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mim said on a radio appearance
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: that quote, you can really feel that the times are
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: changing for us, referring to the Broncos.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Ben.
• 37:13
  Speaker 8: Last year, the Broncos snapped a streak of eight years
• 37:16
  Speaker 8: without making to the making it to the playoffs? Do
• 37:18
  Speaker 8: you think a streak of making it to the postseason
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: has begun?
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: So the math is no on this. It is about
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: the bow show, bow Nicks. He's at the launching pad.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Does he go up, up and away with Sean Payton?
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Denver is gonna have a pretty good defense. They've they
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: figured it to be right there. You can't say it's
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the start of a streak because you look at the AFC,
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs are still right there in the penthouse. You've
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: got Buffalo and Baltimore the top teams. But then you
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: look at the wild Cards and so it's the Chargers.
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: The Broncos are in the mix with the Ravens. The Bengals.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I think the Patriots will be better this year, and
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: so no, I'm gonna go know on that. Next.
• 37:57
  Speaker 8: According to analysts and betting markets, Wheeler and Paul Skeens
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: are neck and neck in the nl Cy Young race.
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: Who do you think should win?
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Well? Major League Baseball would like they don't vote on this,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: the writers vote on this, but they would like Paul
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Skeens to win. It's a good story, the pitiful Pirates
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: breakout star.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: He's got the.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Social media influencer, you know, woman in his life and
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. Zach Wheeler, though he actually pitches in
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: meaningful games. It's very odd because normally these things are
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: decided the last month of the season. The Pirates they're
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: not going to play any meaningful games till the Grapefruit
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: League next year, so he's Paul Skeens is gonna have
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: to dominate. But I think because of the meaningful games,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I give it to Zach Wheeler next.
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: Chiefs Jim Brett Viach said this week that Travis Kelcey
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: may not have it every week, but he can find
• 38:45
  Speaker 8: it when they need it. Ben, do you think that
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: will be the case for Kelsey?
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Well, he didn't have it in.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: The super Bowl. It looked like he was sleepwalking in
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, which is the biggest of them all,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the granddaddy of them all. He's gonna turn thirty six
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: during the NFL season. Uh, let's put it this way.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: He's not going to lead the Chiefs in in statistics.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be betting on him dominating this year. How
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: did we do wid It's already it's already over.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: We won, it's already over.
