• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Hour a follow up, a follow up to a conversation
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: we had a previous episode of the show from Philadelphia
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: spring training camp. The Phillies have made their decision. They
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: have decided to ex communicate outfielder Nick Costeanos. He's out.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: The team is going to eat twenty million dollars. They're
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: gonna get some barbecue sauce, some honey mustard, and they're
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: gonna cook that up and then eat that twenty million
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: dollars to get rid of them. Isn't that great? You
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: imagine that you're so annoying at your job that the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: company's gonna pay you twenty million.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Dollars to go away.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Now. Costeanos was in the final year of a five year,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars contract and the Phillies kicking him
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to The Curby Report emerged following his ejection from the Phillies.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You knew that was happening when they said don't show
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: up to work. That Castianos ostracized himself from the rest
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: of the team. A very detailed report behind a paywall,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: The Old Gray Lady says that many teammates had come
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: to resent Castianos for his attitude. More than a dozen.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: More than a dozen Phillies players, staff members, and officials
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: all agreed to talk to the athletic on what condition
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you want to take a guess, ding ding ding ding ding, Yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the condition that their names would not be used. Yeah, anonymity, baby.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So the report illustrated that the player Castianos was a
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: brash schmuck who put himself ahead of the team. Then
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: they gave some examples. There was an instance that was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: ref in this story of Castianos playing music.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: This is gonna really offend you. I hope you're not
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: offended by his pace.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He played music from his own speaker, his own speaker
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: after having a good game, but the Phillies lost, And
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: that was used as a really sad example. What that's terrible.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That is selfish, horrific. But wait, there's more. Now. The
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: flashpoint occurred in a game against the Marlins last summer,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Castianos was taken out of the game a defensive substitution
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: in the eighth inning, and he decided, Hey, I'm not
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: gonna play anymore, So I'm gonna go grab in the clubhouse.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna grab a Presidente beer and I'm going to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: open it up and I'm gonna bring it into the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: dugout and then I'm going to berate the manager, Rob
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Thompson and the other coaches and give them the business
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: in front of the entire team. Now that appears they
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: did not appreciate that he was suspended for that, but
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that is being used against him here as he was
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: fired from his job in Philadelphia. So good jumping off point.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss question. How did this story about Nick
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Castianos being the Philly problem child play with you? So
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I've got Church Lady, Voodoo and Old Glory, and we'll
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: put all of these things together and we're gonna go one, two, three,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but we always start.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: With number wa.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Number, all right. So the Nick Castianos reporting is a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: classic hit piece. I mean, it was just so obvious.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: And the reason you do this is because a low
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: information fans love it. They they have no critical thinking.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: They believe everything. They're fed like Pavlov's dogs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: So you go.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Now, I don't know Nick Costianos. I don't know the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: guy all right, and he could be the greatest schmuck
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in the world. But I know a hit piece when
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I see a hit piece, and this was a hit piece, Okay, classic.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The Phillies are eating twenty million dollars to flush this
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: guy down the toilet, and suddenly, right on Q the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: anonymous team sources pop up. Line them up, baby, They
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: come crawling out of the woodwork to tell the athletic
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: what a locker room cancer this guy was. And this
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: happens all the time in these situations, right, it's you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: an old old head, as the kids say. Remember there
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was a classic character years ago on Saturday Night Live,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the church lady. Well, isn't that convenient? Isn't that conn
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: It smells like a rat. This has mister editor vibes
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: from the Phillies PR department written all over it, as
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I understand it, Normally, these things are encouraged, if not mandated,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: from the PR people. They had to roast the player,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Nick Castianos. They had roast him like a pig at
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a traditional Hawaiian luau just to win the court of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: public opinion, because there were groups of fans that actually
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: liked Castianos. They thought that his act was good. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: this looks like an inside job, right, you stiff around.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: It just smells like an inside job. You're telling me
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that it's all about the agenda. The reporter here, you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you couldn't find twelve other guys to say what a
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: great teammate he was. That not you couldn't find those people.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: As far as the beer drinking stuff. Again, it's all
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: about perspective, right, And the Red Sox were eating fried
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: chicken and beer and went on playoff.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Runs back in the day. And if this was.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety three fills, right, oh my god, that's
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: thirty almost thirty five years ago. But the Phils and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: if they're bringing Presidente Beers into the dugout, you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh man, that's so cool, dude, John Kruck
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and Lennydistra and those guys. Oh man. Now, of course,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: because the way it's being presented that the player is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a selfish brat because he played music after a loss,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: and the whole thing. You know, again, it's about presentation.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Use some critical thinking, give me a break. And again,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the guy, I'm not saying the guy's you know, saint.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: He's probably a knucklehead. And as he said, he takes
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: everything personally and all that. But I will garrion effin
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to you. If Nick Castianos was hitting three hundred with
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: forty home runs a year and driving in on a
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hundred runs a game and hitting forty five doubles a year,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: he would be called a rare competitor, a rare competitor,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: and the life of the party, the soul of the team. However,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: he's not. He's an average ballplayer who's being paid twenty
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year and has turned into a pumpkin
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs as a Philly I think he's hitting
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: like two a little over two hundred in the playoffs
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and the power numbers aren't good and all that stuff.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: That is the real crime here. That is the real crime. Again.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: You can be the biggest a hole in the world
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: as long as you produce, and when that stops.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It's just how it works.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: We all know that when it's it, it goes with
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: any business. I've been in the radio business my entire
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: doll life. We've had some people that have passed through
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: this building that were mourning, people who were complete. I
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: can't I want to curse. I can't say what they were.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Bad people, bad dudes. But they got ratings. They made
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: money for the company, so they kept the moment the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: ratings went down, the moment of the affiliates weren't happy, they
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: give them the boot.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Get out of here, go away, you're done with you.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: That's what happens. It happens in any business. But in baseball,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: if you're mid you're mad. You're a prima donna. If
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you're if you're elite, you're just a character. Oh he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: such a character. Oh he likes to drink beer in
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the dugout, he plays it out in music. He's an individual. Yeah.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: They're only killing him now because the production dried up,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and so they had to make it clear that this
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: is we're paying twenty million dollars to this guy to
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: go away, and he sucks, and so this is what
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he's done, and get out here all right now, turning
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the page to what's next for the player that just
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: got absolutely given the guillotine by a Philly scribe. I'm
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: sure that was not hand delivered by the Philadelphia Phillies
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: pr people. Anyway, question, you are the unofficial career counselor
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: congratulations you're the career counselor what is your advice to
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Nick Castianos after he was just excommunicated from the Philadelphia Phillies.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: So what is your advice? Now?
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I'm really good at giving out advice.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I sit here at the bully pulpit and give out
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: advice for four hours a night, five days a week,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: and an hour a day on the weekends on the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Fifth Hour podcast. But as a baseball refugee, which is
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: what this guy is, obviously, he's at a crossroads. He's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: at the old fork in the road. All that to
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the right. If you look off to the right, the sign.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you can see it, because there's
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: some some fog. But if you look, is that fog
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: or is that steam from hell? But if you look,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: it says right there at the sign, it's highway. Voodoo
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Bugaloo is the highway.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And that's off to the right.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Now if you if you look the other way, if
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: you look the other way, that's that's the waiting Highway.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And it's like for the waiting game. So the Phillies
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: plausibly tried to trade this guy Castilianos all off season.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Nobody wanted because he's got the cooties, and the cooties
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: are he's making a lot of money. He's a defensive liability,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and he's not hitting as much as he did in
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the past, and he's like a glorified d at this point.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He treats the glove and the baseball like it's a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: hot potato. It's not good. So my advice, as the
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: unofficial career counselor unofficial career counselor through the magic the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: powers of talk radio, the advice here is to sit
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: in your jacuzzi and drink your Presidente beer and just
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: wait through the first three.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Weeks of spring training.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Games are going to begin. In a couple of weeks,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you wait for the spring training games to begin, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: then somewhere, whether it's in Florida or Arizona, a outfielder,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: a designated hitter will have the HGW hammy go whammy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And when the hammy go whammy, the phone starts a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: ring and the text messages start coming in.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Now, if you cannot wait, if you don't.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Want to play the waiting game, you could plausibly convince
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: a team like the Podres of the Blue Jays.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: To take a flyer on you. Now, if you're really, really.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Impatient, then you can go play for a pretender like
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: the White Sox or some other rotten team like the
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Nationals and go knock yourself out. It's a soft landing spot,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it's a pillow fort, and you'd go there for half
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the season and then and they'd flip you at the deadline.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: And of course, in order for that to happen, try
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: not to bat one thirty six heading into the trade
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: deadline because that would be problematic. Otherwise you're not a
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: trade ship. You're just a hazardous waste spill and nobody
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: wants that. All right, final point, We now go to
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: a viral story from the Bay Area. It kind of
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: evolves gambling. Some random person on the TikTok went viral
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: after traveling to the Bay Area and what appears to
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: be loitering around outside Levi's Stadium with a high powered microphone. Now,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: they were not there for the Super Bowl. This was
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the lead up to the Super Bowl, and they were
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: out there pretty much all afternoon for Charlie Pooh's Super
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Bowl anthem rehearsal.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And so, yeah, you probably know where this is going,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you do, okay?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So this this dude was out there and he
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: had the high powered microphone. He's waiting for the anthem rehearsal.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: He of course timed it, and that enabled him to
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: win a bet. He timed the the anthem rehearsal for
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Charlie Poot and it was under, and of course people
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: have ripping him. Oh, that's insider trading. You can't do that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And suppose it from what I read,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: he turned one hundred dollars bet on the prediction market
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: into a thousand.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Dollars I don't even know if that's possible.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't look at it. I don't pay much attention
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: to the anthem bet, but that's what I read. Of Course,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I would argue that if you knew that well that
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: the time was going to be under, why would you
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: only bet one hunred dollars? Why wouldn't you been more?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I question, did this.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Random TikTok guy cross the line with insider trading by
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: timing out the national anthem rehearsals before Super Bowl sixty
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: for betting purposes.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: All right, So I don't even know.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: This is a question like I saw something stop insider trading.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: We're not talking about the stock exchange here. It's he
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: wasn't in the stadium. He was outside the stadium. It's
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: a football game with fireworks and flyovers. He's timed out.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: He brought a stop watching, a big microphone thing of
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: a jig and all that, and it's not insider trading
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: for which he was outside. So I guess it was
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: outsider trading. But he used the rehearsal to beat the prop.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And whose fault is that? If the curtain is open
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and you can see how they do the magic trick,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: don't blame the audience for watching. It's not criminal, it's capitalism.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: As you know, it's smart when this is not the
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: first time this has happened. This has happened many times
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: over the years, and the sports books hate it because
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: it exposes the loophole and these anthem props. It's like
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: carnival games. It's a three card monty wrapped in old glory.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Wrap yourself in old glory. You leave rehearsal wyd open.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Because even if it's a dome stadium, most super Bowls
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: are played in domes. This was an outdoor stadium. It's
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: somebody in there cleaning something or adjusting something, and they
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: are able to hear the anthem and they can time
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: it and all that stuff. So they exposes the carnival
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: game that is the anthem, and you leave the rehearsal
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: wide open and someone's going to time it like it's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the Olympic Trials, and this person did. And of course
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: you can't keep anything quiet. You have to do it
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: for clout, so you have to post about it. It's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: next level dedication for clicks. Yes, it's why they put
• 17:56

• 18:02
  Speaker 1: on the prediction market. I haven't gotten into that much.

• 22:10
  Speaker 1: out with my my guy. Me and Chappelle were tight.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Me and Dave Chappelle. We had a moment on the

• 22:17
  Speaker 2: That did happen?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I love Dave Chappelle.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was just wandering around.
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: So do you watch Conan at all?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: Do I watch Conan? I've not seen Conan since he
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: was on TV. I don't know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Is he doing a podcast. Everyone's doing a podcast.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he has a podcast, and he also does this, like, uh,
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: I don't know. Conan travels the world, Conan goes.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, what is that on? Is that on the streaming
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: for me?
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: HBO Max, Okay, it's hilarious. I don't hate I don't
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: hate Conan.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: You love I know you've always loved Conan. Yeah, I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: was like, I used to love Letterman and I'm older
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: than you, but back in the day.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: But I know I don't hate Conan.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I just didn't. And once he got lost to the
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: TV show, I didn't really what happened to him. But
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: let's see here page that Alf says. Now I know
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: why Ferg Dog has been asking me for advanced copies
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: of my mail bag questions. Obviously he's been supplementing his
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: incoming or income by betting on the time of the
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Sunday fifth Hour based on the length of my question. Well,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you can bet on anything on the prediction market, and
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: why not bet on how long the fifth hours?
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a podcast now.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I was told by someone early on that a podcast
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: should be right around thirty minutes, that it shouldn't be
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: long like radio. So we have four hours a night, right,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and it's like podcasting usually short whatever.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Fine, you can't you want to go too long.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: And there's like a sweet spot, which is about thirty
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: minutes because that's about the time most people are on
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the treadmill for thirty minutes, or they're working out for
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes or there.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I always love this one.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Consultants will say, well, you're driving your in traffic for
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes, and I was like, oh, really, what towns
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: are you only in traffic for thirty minutes? Because everywhere
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I go in big cities, you're in you're in your
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: car more than thirty minutes. I wish it was thirty minutes. Right,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: even at night we worked the night shift, it's not
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes. It's it's a wild Oh, let's go to

  Speaker 10: I'm kidding, but sir, we gotta talk about this man.
• 25:42
  Speaker 10: I was back in six I was ten years old,
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: and I was trying to get into basketball, and you
• 25:48
  Speaker 10: can predict that Chaquila and Meal was at least going
• 25:50
  Speaker 10: to get a double double. The ways at least Conna
• 25:52
  Speaker 10: drop twenty points, this, that and the third and you
• 25:55
  Speaker 10: look at the game. Now, I know that I'm a
• 25:58
  Speaker 10: second late, but jeezo, you got Jaron Jackson announcing he's
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: having a minor surgery. He's going to be out. Doon'te.

• 26:18
  Speaker 10: the Utah Jazz and pass just got hind signs when
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: they're k And then you can't sit here and say, oh,
• 26:24
  Speaker 10: the NBA is not rigging, it's not rigging's a game
• 26:27
  Speaker 10: or this had the third and I'm just like, it
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: seems kind of obvious that they're just trying to take
• 26:32
  Speaker 10: all our money. I mean, yes, we have to know
• 26:34
  Speaker 10: the consequences of gambling and stuff like that. I'm not
• 26:38
  Speaker 10: saying I do it every day, but it's just like, dude,
• 26:40
  Speaker 10: you're making a parent that you're you're just taking.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: Also, Stanley, I.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Would now you do what you want, Stanley, but I
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: would advise you baseball starting in you can. I wouldn't
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: bet on spring training obviously, but you can once April.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Comes around late March.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I think opening days twenty fifth. I just kind of
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: kind of wait, Stanley, because yeah, you are throwing your
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: money to the wind down the you.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Have a gambling problem.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Have you tried Have you tried hockey? Stanley?
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: Have you tried hockey?

  Speaker 4: My man?
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Stand?
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Yes I have, yes, Okay, all right. The games are
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: usually pretty closet.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty good.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. I I like you, like you. I
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I casually like to bet a little bit in the NBA.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I I have not touched that in the playoffs. Man,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the playoffs will do something, but not in the regular season.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Forget about it. Forget about it. Not interested, you know
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's not I don't want to play
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: money that way. It's even even when you mentioned six
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: when you're ten years old, but back in those days
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: you still got screwed everyone. So I mean you hopefully
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: you won't betting when you were ten years old, but
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you still got screwed. And but at least you felt
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: like the guys were trying, they were giving you an effort.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know that feeling.
• 27:53
  Speaker 10: So yeah, like you can count on Paul Peers on
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: a terrible to drop at least twenty five to twenty,
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: and you could get Ricky Davis for like maybe ten
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: twelve points back.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: In the days.
• 28:07
  Speaker 10: But you know, like I said, I was only in
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: fourth grade at that time.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: But Ricky Davis also when the all time highlights in
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: NBA history. I don't know if you were old enough
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to remember, but he tried to get a triple double.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: Do you remember this? He was with Cleveland and.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: He tried to miss a shot off his own backboard
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to get it. He needed one more rebound for a
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: triple double, and he tried to miss a shot to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: get his rebound, but he shot it on his own basket.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Fun fact, it's a fun fact.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll talk to you like i'll talk to
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: him like five years Stanley, Is that right?
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're yeah?
• 28:36
  Speaker 10: I no, no, I mean I'm going to be available
• 28:39
  Speaker 10: at night. I'm going on a sabbatical, so you'll probably
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: hear from me at least maybe like one time.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Oh look at that, all right, we get to hear
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: from Stanley. Now he's gonna be a regular again. All right, Stanley,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: you can tell us about all you're losing thats what?
• 28:50
  Speaker 10: But what but Vin, I'm gonna see this before I go.
• 28:53
  Speaker 10: You got his toe, Mike the Lepercoon's opposition to like
• 28:59
  Speaker 10: settle down because made a fool of them nineties, had
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: the sports up two weeks ago on the morning show.
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: You better tell him to settle down.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I've tried to tell blind Scott to settle down
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: for a long time. I thought, he says, Nemesis, though,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: thought you're talking about blind Scott. You're talking about lepreaun
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: or blind.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Scott, blind Scott exactly.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was talking about the opposite.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Their their rivals, and they fight on the morning show
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: on the Sports Hub. They go at it there. So
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: all right, thank you, stan keep me updated. Let me
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: know I'm listening. I'm not listening to that. It's obviously

  Speaker 1: because I'm sleeping.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: But let me know.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Right there's Stanley, he's back. Look at that ten years
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: older than our six. He still remembers fond memories of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the NBA back then, when players actually tried and they
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: put effort out and all that. Alf writes in he says,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: just to prove that I don't watch basketball. I didn't
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: know one single player that Stanley rattled off. Stanley brought
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: up a good point, though, like there were all these
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: trade and bad teams acquiring players we've heard of. And
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: I mentioned Jared Jackson with the Jazz out for the year,
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, I believe out for the year with the Wizards.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: And then you've also got Zobots who's not played yet
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: for the Indiana Pacers. So all that's all that's going on.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to the phones one more time. I

• 34:49
  Speaker 1: or something like that. So as far as it's not

  Speaker 1: a round robin. Now, I don't have a lot of
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: time for this because you know, I'm on a tight clock.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: As you know, I'm by the clock for the clock

• 35:35
  Speaker 1: He didn't give free days off the Seattle schools, they
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: just go up to school. So these were unexcused absences. Now,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: some of them were likely sick and actually not able
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: not going to the parade.

  Speaker 7: former MVP wasn't himself last season and the new regimes

  Speaker 1: He will not win another MVP, But he has to
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: be better than he was this past year. Right, he

• 40:48
  Speaker 7: trying to increase their equity. But do you think this
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: could get ugly?
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Well, it's why did he sell the team at the
