  Speaker 1: So we're back at it again. Survived the weekend and
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: the rare and appropriate, the rare and appropriate malad monologue
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: about golf. That is our lead. And we're going to
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: start out in the woods of Georgia because that is
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: where the big event of the weekend took place, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we're going there. Why I watched it, so rather than
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: just waste my time, I'm going to talk about it
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: because I watched the site of the eighty ninth edition
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of The Masters. They don't have fans, no, no, no,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they're no fans there. They have patrons at the Masters,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the elites of the elites, hanging out schmoozing with one another.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: There was a record amount of pollen in the air everywhere,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: which meant the sinus issues were popping up right and left. Now.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this or not, if
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: you watched any over the weekend. I usually consume very
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: little of The Masters early on. Part of that is
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: because it's not the easiestly the easiest thing to watch.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You've a lot of streaming things and whatnot. But by
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the weekend normally I'm more more engaged to it, depending
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: on other things I have going on. But I watched,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and so we watched so you would not have to
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the events over the weekend. And it's our act of
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: public service, it's our way to give back. And it
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was actually a doozy. It was not a event that
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: sucked it. It wasn't terrible. I assume you know by
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: now that Roy McElroy won the Masters in a playoff
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: over Justin Rose there at the Augusta tournament there in Georgia.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: The course, the beautiful Course, completes the career Grand Slam,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: his eleventh attempt, eleven years after I guess this is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: what twelve at tempth eleven years after the last major championship.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: So it's been it's been a minute over a decade
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: since Roy McElroy won. And then he fell down dramatically
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: with raw emotion, fell down to the ground and he
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: had his head tucked between his arms. There was water
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: flowing from his eyes. Oh so dramatic, the drama of
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: human sport, athletic competition. Now McElroy becomes the sixth player
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to claim the career Grand Slam. And not only does
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Roy McElroy get the green jacket, which most people don't
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: really want a green jacket, but there you do. You
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: ever seen it wear a green jacket in public? I've
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: never seen anyone wear a green jacket public anyway. At
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the Augusta tournament's big deal. So he got the green jacket.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: He's got that and jumbo size check, one of those
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: cartoon checks for four point two million. Four point two million,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that's a jumbo size check right there. The runner up,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Justin Rose, the loser, first loser, he only got two
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: point two million, so after taxes, that's like point two
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: after taxes, and twenty one million was dished out from
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the tournament. They're not allowed to talk about that though
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on the broadcast because they don't like to admit that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: it's all about the money. They think it's about something else.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: But that is the second major in a row where
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: mister Rose as finished second. So runner up doesn't get
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it done. So let us discuss the events here. Do
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you find how Roy McElroy got her done and won
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the green jacket? Significant? How he had the lead going
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to the back nine, gagged it and then ended up
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: forcing the extra playoff and then ends up winning it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So I've got steering wheel, bamboo and brand ambassador, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we're
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: gonna give you a headache unless we don't. We're gonna
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: try not to give you a headache. So a do
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you find it? The question again, do you find how
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Roy McElroy won the Master's significant Well, yes, right now
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in the moment, one hundred percent. And the way these
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: things work, over the course of time, you're not gonna
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: remember what happened. You're gonna remember he won it. You're
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: not gonna remember exactly the events of the day. But
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: right now, in this moment, yes, we are remembering, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that is certainly a big part of the story. So
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'm nodding my head yes to answer the question.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: There.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: It will fade over time. We only have so much
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: space in our little brains there to remember all this nonsense.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: But McElroy was absolutely in control, and it was to
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the point where I was like, oh, this is gonna
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: be boring. Now, this is gonna be boring. But then
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I realized it's golf, and there are no bigger chok
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: artists than golfers. The last day of a major, it
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is a tradition, unlike any other golfers gagging on the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: back nine, and there we were set up yet again. Originally,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: after nine holes the broadcast, the tone was like, this
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: was a coronation for Roy McElroy. But in the back
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of my head I was like, well, you know, he's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: had some big gags and the old slip on the
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: banana peel. So for sixty eight of the seventy two
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: holes over the weekend, McElroy was a dominant figure at
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Augusta National and in those sixty eight holes, Roy McElroy
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: was nineteen under par. Of course, the problem is you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: play seventy two the other four holes, don't ask the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: sixty eight holes where he was nineteen under. That's one
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: stroke off of Dustin Johnson's Master's record of twenty under.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But that was during the COVID where there were no
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: patrons at the event and all that stuff, so the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: conditions were different. But we were waiting for that trapdoor
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to open up. We were hoping that trapdoor would open up,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and sure enough it did, although it didn't open up
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: all the way into the pit of vipers because Roy
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: McElroy ended up. If you've seen we only really talk
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: about the majors here, but there's been many missed putts,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: there have been many collapses. And on cue right around
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the midway point there, Roy McElroy sat, he moved over
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the seat, he moved over to the driver's seat, and
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: he got behind the steering wheel, and he decided to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: drive the drive the struggle bus. And boy did he
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: do it. Almost completely into a ditch, almost completely new dish.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Driving the struggle bus, Roy blew a two shot lead
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in two holes at the beginning, but then he got
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a four shot lead, and on the back nine in
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a matter if my mouth or math is correct here,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in the matter of not one, not two, but three holes,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that that was all gonzo. So he f that up
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: right away, and much like an elevator, up and down,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: up and down, up and down. And during the weekend.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Now I mentioned sixty eight of the seventy two holes
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: McElroy on his way to completing the career Grand Slam,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: was amazing. Nineteen hundred five. The other four holes, not one,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: not two, not three, four double bogies. Now, even if
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you're not a golf person, you know that's not good, right,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: double bogie not good? Two of them on Thursday, but
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: then he had none on Friday, none on Saturday, but
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: he made sure to have not one but two on Sunday.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And in the history of this event, the only only
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: person to win with even three double bogies in the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: tournament was the Walrs Craig Stadler years ago, and so
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that means Roy McElroy had the most terrible shots in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: four different holes double bogey, double bogie, double bogie, double
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: bogie and end up winning the tournament there so he went. Also,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: he tied for the largest first round deficit, another reason
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: not to watch the first round of the Masters. But
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: down seven shots and he comes back and wins. That
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: is tied for the largest rally. Back now page two.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: As for the mainstream, the elitist golf media and their narrative,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: if you've been paying attention, it's essentially, after eleven years,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: eleven years without a major, what does this victory say
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: about Roy McElroy And they are laying it on thick.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: I am talking full bubble bath, full bubble bath for
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Rory McElroy and they're just over the top. Now listen,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it was it a case of resilience, sure, but McElroy
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: kind of liked the bamboo. He had the phrase of
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the bamboo there. The bamboo bends in the wind, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: McElroy certainly bent in the wind. He did not break.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And it's not a case where he just flat out
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was at the top of Suck Mountain for the last
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: decade plus. There's this misnomer that McElroy was just god awful,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: just got awful, and then he came back and he won,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and it's like this great redemption story. And it was
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: his seventeenth start at Augusta, and the nerds have pointed
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: out that that is the second most to get the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: first win at Augusta. Sergio Garcia had gone nineteen can
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: sayecutive Masters, I think I think it was consecutive nineteen
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Masters starts without without winning before he had. But the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: eleven year gap now that is tied for the longest
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: span between major wins. However, again he was not trash.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: It wasn't garbage over that stretch. He won nineteen times
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: on the PGA Tour over those ten years, so he
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: was averaging it was eleven years, but he was averaging
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: about two about two wins per year, and there were
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: a bunch of other high finishes as well. He was
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: only outside of the the NERD Golf rankings the World
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Golf rankings one year out of those eleven years, so
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the most part, he was still among the top players
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: in the sport, one of the top ten in the sport,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and he had six of those years where he was
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: in the top three. So again he was just like,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: he's hanging around. You make a lot of money at golf,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: not winning, but just kind of hanging out in the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: top ten. You make a lot of money doing that.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: They pay a lot of money. Rich people love golf.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: It's a rich man sport. I went to go buy
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: golf clubs. I was seen about buying golf clubs last year,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and I went to a golf shop and I saw
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: how much they wanted for new golf clubs. I walked
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: right out. I said, I'm done. I don't like golf
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: that much. I'm gonna golf like once every six months
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: at the most. I ain't putting that kind of cash
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: down on something I'm gonna do once every six months.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But it's a rich man elitist game, and that's why
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: they have so much money. You can finish in the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: top ten and you're good to go and we know
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he won a bunch of tournaments McElroy. However, Roy McElroy,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: nobody pays attention to the waste management open other than
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: when the hoodlams go there just get hammered and cause debauchery.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: But other than that, it's like you're not watching these
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: other tournaments. Only the hart O Golf people are watching.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: That's the issue. The rank and file watch the majors
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and that's it, and that's the problem with the sport. Now,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: last word, So Jim name Nants is part of the
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: story here. Jim Nance, who is synonymous with this event.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: He has embraced it. He is into it, He's all
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: about it. So Jim Nance made a couple of costs.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of silence after Roy McElroy won
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the green jacket. I think we have some audio here
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna play though, but his line after McElroy
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: got very emotional. Nance is being called out for this.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to the call on this. Tosses his putter,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: troubles to the sacred side. Yeah, there's a lot of ambia. Nos.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you could hear that. Play it again.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Us here tosses his putter troubles to the sacred side.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: So jim Nantz, if you couldn't hear that because there's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: a lot of ambient crowd noise there, Nance said he
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I think he said, he clutches his putter and then
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: he stumbles to the sacred sawd was what he said?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: That last part, that is the key part of this
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: jim Nantz describing the emotion of Roy McElroy and that
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he stumbled to the sacred side. So how do you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: rank this call? How do you rank this call? So
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I've thought about, as some people very upset, how can
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you say that it's just a stupid golf course and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. I would argue, if you hire Jim
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Nance to call a golf tournament or any sporting event,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: this is what you're gonna get, right, That's who jim
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Nantz is. That is the essence of Jim Nance. That
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: if you're an officiaato of his work, this is what
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: you want. That's the kind of bull crap you want
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: from a guy like Jim Nance. You know you're gonna
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: get it. Jim Nantz is like the brand ambassador of Cheetos. Right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: it ain't easy being cheesy, but that's Jim nantz Man.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: The guy's just a cheese ball. He's always been a
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: cheese ball. And I've known a lot of guys like
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: that dude in the broadcasting business. There's a lot of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: hard old dudes like Jim Nance. Andy Nance is much
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: more successful than I'll ever be, so good for him.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: But he's a heart. Oh I mean, come on, he's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: he's like a puffy guy too. In the booth right,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: he's like at that dangerously cheesy I think was their
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: slogan back in the day for the cheese from him Nance.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And that's just the way it is. Listen for him.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I get it. This is the mecca, this is what
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: he's known for the Masters and and all that. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: so if you want cheese, boom check, if you want
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: extra surrupy, check, Nance will make it extra syrupy for you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: And it is amusing though, when you you juxtaposed the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: event this weekend and how we were in here on
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Friday before the weekend and the story remember the story
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: from round one you talk about going full circle at
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the eighty ninth Masters. So the Masters began on Thursday,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and some no name golfer who had gone to Arizona
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: State treated the Sacred sod as Jim Nance liked to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: call it, there as an outhouse by taking a leak
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: at Ray's Creek. And then it ends with the golfer
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: on his hands and knees there on the again sacred
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: sword of Augusta. So they have certainly gone full circle.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

  Speaker 1: Later this out we will have mallardly third Degree, but
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: we begin with this. The curtain has come down on
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: the regular season of the NBA. There will be no
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: more regular season NBA games for this year anyway. It's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: all over there the finale. Everyone playing on a Sunday,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: And while we were watching the golf, we flipped over
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to the basketball. There's only one game really worth watching
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: on Sunday in the NBA, and I was in San Francisco.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: That was the game. You win, you get a secured
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: playoff spot, lose, and you gotta go to that fugase
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: playing tournament and that involved Golden State playing the People's team.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: And I know he saw it was on National National TV.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Don't know if you're watching it or not. Maybe not,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: but the Beard a renaissance. James Harden hitting consecutive three
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: point baskets in overtime, a domination situation, the kind of
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: performance that if Harden does that in an NBA Finals game,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: they write books about it. He was that dominant, made
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a parafoul, shots, scored on a also got a basket
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: on a Jimmy Butler goaltending call. He had thirty nine points.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: James Harden and tennis sist. That was the Roquets version
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: of James Harden in that game. Kawhi Leonard, the Toronto
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Raptor San Antonio Spur Vintage for the People's team, Leonard
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: had thirty three points. The Clippers get it done, they win,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and they win in overtime, and they're the fifth seed
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in the West Conference. They get to play those lightweights
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: from Denver in their first playoff series, and the Warriors
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: on the wrong end of things, which means they are
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: not guaranteed of a play in spot. And the better story, though,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. As much as I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: would like to sit here and wax loquacious about the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Clippers and how great James Harden was and all that.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear that. You want to hear the
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: sad sack Golden State Warriors, that's what you want to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: hear about. You had Steph Curry make a basket, strutting right,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: he was strutting down the court there. Oh man, we
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: got these guys and then they had to play the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: rest of the game. He didn't have anybody and he
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: had nothing, nothing. So the Warriors who melted under pressure.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: They had the lead late, had a four point lead,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and they melted down the stretch. Curry had thirty six
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: although he did really nothing the first three quarters. Jimmy
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Butler thirty points and nine assists, and that's it. The
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: regular season is over. So let us discuss how big
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a setback, How big a setback is this loss for
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green and the Warriors
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: as they now have to go into that playing tournament.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: So I've got Fiddle pac Man and Forrest Gump and
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: going to make some sour dough bread, the San Francisco treat,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: which is well just sour, just very sour there the worst.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So this is a myth buster situation, right, this is
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: a myth buster situation. That is my number one the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: aura of the Warriors when they got Jimmy Butler and
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they had a great record to finish the regular season,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: but they didn't get Jimmy Butler to still end up
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: in the play in tournament. That was not the mission.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: When they got Jimmy Butler and they had everything set up.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Golden State had everything you could possibly want. So this
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: is a massive disappointment. All right, this is a massive disappointment.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Everything was there. You had home cooking checked, you had
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: that Warriors were favored. They were three and a half
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: point favorites in the gambling line. When you avoid the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: playing tournament, lose and you're in it. And Golden State
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: had a twelve point lead in the first half, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: there was that point where it was teetering where if
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: the Warriors go second level, go turbo time, they go
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: up by twenty five points games over. They didn't have it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: They did not have the ability to go turbo time,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and they were not turbotask the tastic in that situation.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: And they did have the early body blow body blow
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: by Golden State. So they came as all right there
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: by twelve had a body blow, and then the Clippers
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: respawned and the Warriors, because they were they had home cooking,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: they fiddled around with their food. You don't fiddle around
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: with your food. They did, and the Clippers kept chipping
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: away their little right hook. Here a left hook. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: in overtime the Beard said, here's an uppercut right to
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the chin. Boom, right to the chin. Sure enough, and
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: so Harden had twelve of the Clippers thirteen points in overtime.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: He was electric. And Jimmy Butler at the end there
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: he looked like a pogo stick. He was hopping up
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: and down there at the end of the game. Draymond
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Green blew a buddy. I'm sure we'll hear about that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: in this podcast unless we don't. But yeah, missed a
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: layup right there. I could have made that. He missed it.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Nobody around. He missed a layup. And you combine this
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: loss and also a couple of days back, the Warriors
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: lost to the San Antonio Spurs at home, a dog
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: food Spurs team. And there's not a lot of razzle
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: dash like any razzle dazz of the Warriors had from
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: winning a bunch of games when he got Jimmy Brother.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: You lose to the Spurs at home, and you've got
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: a win, and you're in the playoffs, losing your play
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and you can't beat the Clippers. That's a bad job
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: by Golden State. Now, you can spin it any way
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: you want, but that's not why they got Jimmy Butler
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And there's no time for a
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: penny party because right back added another thing that's ridiculous.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: In the NBA, you play eighty two games. It's an
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: eighty two game playing tournament to decide who makes the playoffs.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: And then you add a couple extra games just in
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: case somebody gets hurt, because you want more content. And
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: so the NBA Playing Tournament will begin on Tuesday. The
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: seven seed Memphis will travel to Northern California to take
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: on the Warriors in San Francisco. There and that's that.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Now turning the page, we've got former NBA player Patrick
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Beverly who has entered the chat. BEV the glue guy
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: for the Clippers. Now, he said prior to the Clipper
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Warrior game that the winner of that game on a
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: lazy Sunday afternoon, the winner of that matchup, he was
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: winning the championship? So how does that sound to you?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: That's what he said it. I didn't say it. He
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: said it. Patrick Beverly said it all right, So certainly
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: some edgy commentary from Beverly, who I don't think he'll
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: probably play in the NBA again. He played overseas and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: whatnot here and from Beverly's lips to the NBA scriptwriter's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: ears is what I would say, right? Why not? And
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the Clippers are certainly more than capable of winning the championship.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: And they've been in this position where they have the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: talent to win a championship for about a decade now.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Most of the time they've been good enough to win
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: a championship, but inevitably the car breaks down. The car
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: breaks down, the engine doesn't work right, the breaks don't work.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: At some point, it's if it's not one thing, it's
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: something else here. So I've determined, after a minutes long
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Mallard deliberation, that the richest owner in American sports, Steve Balmer,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: needs to go pac Man. They need to go pac Man. Now,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: old arcade game, pac Man, get your hands on those
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: power pellets, you know, those little power pellets, and pac
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Man eats the power pellet and then he flips the
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: script and then all of a sudden, because pac Man
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: ate the power pellet, he can then he's invincible, and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: he can then eat those annoying little ghosts that usually
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: chase him. And all of a sudden, he's eating them.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And they got to go to that little penalty box
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the screen. The Clippers need a
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: power pellet. They need a pac Man power pellet for
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. Get him on the court, and they are
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: going to be in the Final four and likely the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals and the whole thing here, and you really
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: set up pretty good. You got a disheveled Nuggage team
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that hate each other. They got the coach fired, Michael
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Malone in Denver. It's a total mess. They got a
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: nerd king dork as the interim coach, Adalman's kid, So
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell they're doing there. You
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: got playoff Westbrook. So all the Clippers have to do
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: is leave him open to shoot three. Here's the Nuggets
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: will feed them the ball, he'll lose, he'll miss them, and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: so you get by them, and is maybe play Oklahoma City.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Who knows Oklahoma City won all these games and all
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that they could lose in the first round. Whoever's the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: eighth seed they get end up losing to, whether you're
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Memphis or Golden State, of one of those two teams
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: is the eighth seed that would be shocked if Oklahoma
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: City loses and Clippers get there, they can beat them.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: So you said, up right, last thing here the final
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: part of this winding road. So the looking around situation,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: as we have now gotten to a fork in the road.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: We are done with the regular season at the play
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: in tournament and then the regular season building up to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, which will be this weekend. The playoffs this weekend.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: So what early playoff matchups intrigue you the most? What
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: early playoff matchups intrigued you the most? So we don't
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: know all the matchups yet, There's only four that we know,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: two in the East and two in the West because
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of the ridiculous play in tournament. But those upset alert,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: upset alert, upset alert, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lakers.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards has a chance to exterminate Hukaluka right away
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and the Lakers are there right there.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: They're plump for the taken. And during the regular season,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: Minnesota was two and two with the Lakers. Now, the
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: one thing that's scares is they don't play any defense.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Neither the Lakers, Neither one's a good defensive team. But
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: that is a juicy opportunity for ant Man. If he
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: can stop, you know, knocking up women for a few
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: days and go out there and get it done, then
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: he'll be in good shape. Now, the Wolves are a
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: bipolar team, but I've noticed from watching random NBA games
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: during the course of the season that there are mostly
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: bipolar teams in the association. That's a league filled with
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: bipolar teams. There's a lot of Forrest Gump, a lot
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: of Forrest Gump out there. You never know what you're
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: gonna get, like a chocolates here, there and everywhere. Inconsistent
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: performances are the norm, at least during the regular season.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: And these teams that many of them have been brilliant
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: at times, but they're not consistent pathetic at other times.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: And so it makes it unlike years ago when you
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: kind of knew what you were going to get going
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: into a playoff. Situation not quite the case. That said,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: much like the NCAA tournament went in doubt, go with
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: chalk Chalky mcchalk. Now in the East, of the matchups
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: that we know, the one that you're circling right away
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: is the upstart Pistons, who should not win a playoff series.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: But the Knicks are a hot mess. They've got issues.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: You've got Cade Cuttingham and Jalen Brunson on the other
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: side for the Knickerbockers that matchup. Detroit did win the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: regular season series three games to one over New York.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: So will the Knickerbockers pull the old Tracy Morgan and
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: puke all over the court at Madison Square Garden in
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that series? And then you look around and it's like this,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: you got a lot of the playing stuff. I mean,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot there. There is. Now there's only
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: one playing game that you're like mildly interested in, and
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: that's to see what happens with Golden State Memphis. But
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that's it. Does anyone care about Kings and Mavericks? I
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: don't Bulls and heat pu what stinks? And even the
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Magic and Hawks matchup. That's the seven eight matchup in
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the East that doesn't really do much for you.

• 28:40
  Speaker 2: This is one big gets great.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: The Portland Trail Blazers have missed the playoffs for four
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: seasons in a row, but despite that, they gave head
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: coach Chauncey Billups a contracts extension keeping them there through
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: the twenty twenty seven to twenty eight season. Yes, do
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: you think the Blazers are headed in the right direction
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: under Billups?
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Well, they are better, but the bar was so low.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: It's like they sucked for so long. And now they
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: did improve their record by fourteen games. I wouldn't say
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: they're they're they're in danger of being good if they
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: actually go out and add a couple of players. Yeah,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: but at this point the assumption is, hey, they were
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I think they had a winning record from mid January
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: to the end of the season. They beat some good teams,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: so they are heading the right direction. And the Blazers
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: from when I heard they were worried that other good
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: teams actually wanted to hire Chauncey Billips, so they keep
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: him locked on the Oregon trail. They're not going the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: wrong direction. I think they're kind of more in the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: middle of their day, the fork in the road where
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: if they make a couple of decent moves this offseason,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: they can actually be a playoff team again. Otherwise they'll
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: be stuck in purgatory. But I wouldn't say a thirty
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: five win team is a good team. Next.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Speaking with the media over the weekend, Kenny Pickett said
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: that he plans on starting in Cleveland, saying, I'm not
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: going there to hang out ben Yus.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: That's good.
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: Do you expect Pickett to be the starter throughout the season.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: No, he will start, But do I expect him to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: be the star?
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: No?
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I mean they did sign Joe Flacco over the weekend.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Flacco was there before and they had to get rid
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: of him because Deshaun Watson was uncomfortable because Flacco was there.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: But no, I would think every team seventeen games, Kenny Pickett,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: he's there, He's gonna start at least one or two games.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: But he's you know, he's no good. You know, he
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: was he was like they tried to hide him in Pittsburgh.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: They won some games, but not because of Kenny Pickett.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: But he's not gonna start the year a s QB one. Plus,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the Browns will likely draft a quarterback and we'll add
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: another quarterback next.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Evan Ingram told reporters that he was pursued by the
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: Chargers in the offseason, but he chose the Broncos because
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: of how Sean Payton intends to use him in the
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: offense and that he is quote ready to be unleashed.
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Ben do you expect a big season from Ingram and Denver? Well, See,
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: this is a trick question, Coop.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: I know you asked a Bronco question, and if there's
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: if I give an answer that you don't like it's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: anti Bronco, then you will fail me on this one.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I know how this works here. Evan Ingram made a decision.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I believe it was a financial decision. It wasn't based
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: on the Chargers or the Broncos. It was based on
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: he got more money. That's why he went to Denverse.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Not about the Broncos and the Chargers are about the same.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I don't thin there's much difference between those teams. There
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: It is how do we know?
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: But do you expect a big season? That's not show
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: you fail?
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: No, I knew it. I don't see that. But that's
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: a fraudulent Joe. That's an East German judge.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: You didn't it.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: That's a Russians Germany. That's a Russian judge communist.
