  Speaker 1: also approved by Alf the alien opiner. So our lead
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this hour is from the boardroom, key part of that board. Wow,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the made for TV spectacular the twenty twenty five NBA
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Draft which has now been sliced up. It used to
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: be a one night affair, but now it is two nights.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: You got the first round was held on Wednesday night
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn and then around two with dozens and dozens
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: of people excited about that tuned in for the next
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: round on Thursday. But I don't know if you watched
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: any of this, probably not. I think it was on
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: seventeen channels. I was getting text messages from people. Why
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: is the draft on so many channels? I don't understand.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So as we like to say, and has pointed out
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: by the oscar Ja and I went during the draft
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and I was fuzzing around and the ostrigeants said, we
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: thank you for watching, so we do not have to
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It is our good mitsch for the day. And Cooper
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: flagged the flag is up. Cooper Flag, who had been
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the consensus number one pick prior to him even declaring
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: out of duke, I say out of duke. He played
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: there for like a minute, but he was projected way
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: back to be the number one pick in the draft,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: and it went as choreographed. The mav Res drafted Cooper
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Flag with the top pick. They remember the MAVs the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Great Conspiracies theory. The Mavericks won the draft lottery his
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: payment for handing over Luca to save NBA television ratings
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to the Lakers for some pocket lint and a broken down,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: washed up player named Anthony Davis. MAVs had a one
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: point eight percent chance of winning the first pick, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: they did. And so Cooper Flagg said, seemingly all the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: right things there, he said, felt amazing dream come true,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: all that after being picked at the very top of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the draft. So his family was there and all that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: You know, the usual bells and whistles at this type
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of thing. So let us discuss the question, how excited
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: should Cooper Flag be with the Mavericks. I mean, he
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: could play with any of these teams in the lottery,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he ends up playing with the Mavericks. Some would say
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it was scripted that way. But how excited, How excited
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: should Cooper flag be with the Mavericks. I've got what
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a burger, Kirby Pucket and Frankenstein, and we will combine
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: all of these random things together. We're gonna make some
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Maza ball soup and some pastrami fries, is what we're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: gonna make. So a being drafted by the Dallas basketball
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: team in twenty twenty five is akin to getting beat
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: front property in Albuquerque. Right, It's you know, you think, well,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that's that's pretty good. It's I got some good land there,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I got some good value. Sure, it's it's not that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: close to the water. It's pretty dry. You're gonna get sunburned.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: And you're like, why are people building sand castles on
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: on the cement there? I don't understand. But Cooper is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: joining a team where there doesn't appear to be any
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: kind of real plan. The owner is not engaged. The
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: franchise kept Nico Harrison, which his mouth feasans if even
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: if you were forced to trade Luca, you still have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to get rid of Nico as a human sacrifice where
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: he loses his job, but you kept him around where
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: the fans were rhythmically chanting booing a Nico Harrison the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: day of the draft, and so again Nico got yeah,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: fire Nico. There must be some compromising photos of Nico
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: has of certain people with different animals, But it's wild.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It is wild that he's still calling the shots. So
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you're you're going to a team that did not have
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the foresight to get rid of Nico Harrison, right, who
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: is credited with giving away the family jewels for for nothing?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Right and so and Dallas sounds amazing at first if
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: you're a guy like Cooper Flagg, I mean, just everything's bigger,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: right Texas, big steaks, big energy, everything bigger in Texas.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But sooner or later, wearing that ack laundry, you realize
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the culture of the Mavericks is what like a what
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a burger and a cowboy hat? Wearing a cowboy what
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a burger with a cowboy hat on top? But Cooper
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: flag walks in to that Maverick locker room, he better
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: be on his best behavior because one glance from Kyrie Irving,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: even though he's hurt, could either spark a sermon or
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: some kind of locker room crisis. Very delicate there, and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we'll see what kind of development. There are conflicting reports
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: about just how dominant Cooper Flag is going to be
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in the NBA, and I'm in a show me state
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of mind. Show me, let's see, right, does he need
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a structured offense from Jason Kidd? And is that when
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he needs to succeed? And if that's the case, he
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: might want to play around on Minecraft to try to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: structure his own offense, because I think you get a
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: better chance of that working out now page two. So
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flag is not not Luca two point zero, right,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: not in Dallas, not gonna be Luca two point zero.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Infect the projections which are almost always wrong, almost always wrong.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons I loathe the draft is because
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I have been hornswoggled. I have been led astray too
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: many times about the players in the draft. So he's
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: projected more like like a Scottie Pippen type player, not
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the president, more the vice president of the running mate,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: not the president. Now that said, the expectations are sky high.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So for this exercise, we'll pose the question to the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: esteem panel, what are the chances that Cooper Flag ends
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: up a first team All NBA level player. Now, I'm
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: not talking about All Star, which is a different conversation.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: First team All NBA, not second team, not third team,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: first team All NBA for the Mavericks. So what are
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the chances? So, based on a minutes long, minutes long
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: investigation determined the chances of Cooper Flag ending up a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: first team All NBA player with the Mavericks. It's a
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Kirby Puckett meaning the Minnesota Twins legend from years gone by,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: many many years ago, who was a career three eighteen
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: hitter for the Twinkies. Based on recent history and I'm
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: going all the way back to the beginning of time,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the number one overall if you go back to past generation,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: since the year two thousand, since the year two thousand,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: since the year two thousand, number one picks becoming All
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: NBA first team players, it has happened. It's a three
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: twenty batting average thirty two percent of the time it
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: has happened. The top picks with at least one All
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: NBA first team Lebron Dwight, Howard, Derreck Rose, Anthony Davis,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Carl Anthony Towns, ant Man, Victor Wmbanyama Hello that happened
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: quick and Cade Cunningham, which did not happen quick, but
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: did happen now? Now for the piston, So you got eight.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: That still leaves seventeen players who are drafted with the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: top pick since the year two thousand who did not
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: reach that level. I'll keep in mind, as the great
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: retired sportscaster Dick Stockton taught me, he stats tell you
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: what has happened, not what's going to happen. And Flag
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: is going to start in Dallas surrounded by injury prone
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: players like Anthony Davis and Klay Thompson mentioned Kyrie Irving
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: out with an ACL injury. He will not play until January,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: probably February, and so Cooper Flagg is going to be
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a long way from his home in Maine. He will
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: enjoy that there is no state income tax in Texas,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: so he'll make more money to do the same job
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: as opposed to playing in a high tax state like
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: California or with the team closest to Maine, the Celtics.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He'll like the hot and muggy weather unless he doesn't,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and the barbecue, and he'll also get to experience the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Texas sized cockroaches, large mosquitoes, and those fire ants that
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: are all over the place. That everything's bigger. Everything is bigger,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: all right? Now, last word here. So former NBA player
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: turned gas bag Kendrick Perkins in the lead up to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the draft, several of you sent me this story and said,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: did you see what he said? I can't believe he
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: said it, So, okay, I will address this. So Kendrick
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Perkins compared Cooper flag He said to a Lebron James
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett love child. Yeah, he said, Well, if Lebron
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and Kevin Garnett. I guess if they fornicated, they got
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a kid, that would be Cooper Flagg. So why would
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he do that? Why would he do that? But I'll
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: tell you why. And it was actually a brilliant move.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: It's sneaky, brilliant by Kendrick Perkins. It's it's the great race.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It's advanced jockocracy. That's the term, right, All these jocks
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: on TV, and so it's jockocracy. They get jobs. They're
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: not trained broadcasters, but they get jobs. So it's jockocracy.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: And Perkins is a He's a contestant in the ex
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: jock Olympic Games where they hand out the gold medal
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to whoever can say the most outrageous thing and not
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: break character. Yet you gotta be the straight man. You
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: gotta have the straight face. So he was tasked with
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: trying to hype up Cooper fly trying to promote the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: NBA Draft. So Kendrick Perkins in the lead up to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the draft, he said, I am going to go Frankenstein
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna stitch together a couple Hall of famers
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: hype this guy up. And you know, I hadn't played
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: a second at the NBA level, and spoiler alert, spoiler
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it actually worked. Here. I am, I'm the dope. I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: talking about mission accomplished. And it's not even about this.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It's about clickety click, clickety click. It's about saying something
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: so astonishing, so ridiculous, so draw, you know, jaw dropping,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the absurd, that it ends up trending before you even
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: go to the next commercial break. Right in a sports
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: media landscape, right now, it is as crowded as a
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: costco on a Saturday afternoon. Right Everyone is screaming, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: need attention, demanding it now. Of course I don't scream.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I talk in a raised voice. But I go back
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to the old country, the art of gas baggery. But
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the new guys, man, you gotta scream for attention, and
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: the moment you step away from playing and you're no
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: longer a baller. Every second that goes by, you become
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: more and more irrelevant. You're not needed. Your opinion doesn't matter.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: You're the old head, you're washed up. You can't play anymore.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: You stink blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: so you can't in order to stay relevant. You can't
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: do nuance, the whole nuance thing that doesn't really work.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And you don't need a candle, right, no candles, You
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: need a like a lightning strike. It's got to be lightning,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: thunder and lightning is what you need. Apparently not though
• 13:09

  Speaker 1: about Cooper Flagg, who was the headliner. He went to
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: the mav Res with the number one pick. I'm sure
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Charlie the Dallas Dumper is very excited about that. But
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: another story that has some legs involves Ace Bailey. Now,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Ace Bailey sounds like a baseball player from the nineteen forties,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't it. Ace ba sounds like a fake name, but
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I'm told it's a real name. So Ace Bailey, you
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: did not follow along, and chances are you did not.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Perhaps you missed it. So Ace Bailey did not want
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to get drafted by the Utah Jazz. In fact, he
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: only wanted to play for one of three teams. Now,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Bailey declined to work out for the Utah basketball team,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and the Jazz were not one of his preferred destinations.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: He was hoping to get picked by the Washington basketball
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: team known as the Wizards, the New Orleans team known
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: as the Pelicans, or the Brooklyn team known as the Nets.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Those are the teams you want to fliver. Let me
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: point out, in the history of the NBA, no one
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: has said they want to play for Washington, New Orleans
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. He's the first guy to have those three teams. Anyway,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he wanted to play for those teams, and he was
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: trying to jerry rig the draft. He was trying to
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: manipulate the draft, and so he had this whole plan.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: He wasn't working out for anyone. So Danny Ainge came
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in and his net Bo baby, his Netbo son, Austin Age,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: who got the job because his last name is Ange
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and his dad runs the Utah Jazz. So Danny Age
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: is like, I don't give a damn.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: If you don't want to play for the Jazz, I
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: don't care. They determined that Ace Bailey was the best
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: available player at the number five pick in the draft. So,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: once regarded as a top three player, Ace Bailey was
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: available with the fifth pick, and abra cadabra, hokus pocus
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that Utah Jazz surprise, surprise, surprise pick the player that
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: didn't want to play for them. So let us discuss
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the question what message did Danny Ainge and his kid
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: representing the Utah Jazz send to Ace Bailey? All right,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: so that is the question on this one. I've got
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Harmonica Vespa and if that was not enough, we've also
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: got the magnum opus and we will combine all of
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to make a delicious,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: delicious cookie Sunday, which is my go to. That is
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: my go to, the cookies mixed with the ice cream
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and the oh my god, so good. A right, So
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: number one, Danny Ainge, what he did he is he
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: didn't send a spayley a text message. He didn't do that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: He didn't send him a nice gift package of care package.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: There was no fruit basket from Danny Ainge that included
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: like a you know, a pair of headphones or some
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: handwritten note. There was none of that. No no, no, no,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: no no. Danny Ainge sent him a draft card and
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: on the draft card was the number eight four one
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: one that is the ZIP code of the Delta Center
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City, and a ice bucket of reality.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I love it, I love it, I love it. It's
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: always annoyed me. If you've been with the show a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: long time. Years ago, the New York Giants drafted a
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: quarterback named Eli mann Whether it was actually the Chargers,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: there was a trade, but Eli Manning because of the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Manning first family of football bull crap. They manipulated the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: draft because Eli didn't want to play in San Diego
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and they went to the Giants in Awesome. So it
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: always annoyed me. We nicknamed him the Punk. It's a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: punk move.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: It's an honor to be drafted. You go these are
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: all big cities in America or Canada. You go there,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: you play, you're happy, whatever. So it always annoys me
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: when people try to rig the draft, and so most
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: of the time they get away with it most of
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the time. This is an example of it not working
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that Ace Bailey thought he had power that he did
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: not have. This is Danny Ains writing a note saying,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: dear Ace, I don't give a damn where you preferred
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: to play. You're working for me now, Love you, uncle Danny.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what he wrote, right. I mean, you tried
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to play the NBA Draft, and the NBA Draft played you.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: You're not in aau ball anymore. And I don't care
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: whether you were sliding into pat Riley's dms or whatever,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: you know, hoping for bikinis, coconuts and palm trees. You're
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: going to Utah. I hope you like the mountains. I
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: hope you like the Great Salt Lake. The Mormon Tabernacle.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Dinner reservations at eight thirty because the restaurant closes at nine,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and if you try to find nightlife, I think anything
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: after ten you might want to get your own harmonica out.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe there's a CVS open, possibly, possibly, And if you
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: really want to go wild and have an adult beverage,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: it's strawberry milk. It's strawberry milk. Now. Danny Ainge and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: his kid are announced. They're not there to make friends, right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: They're looking to take an undervalued asset. They thought this
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: guy was a top two or three pick. They got
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: him at number five. So they're essentially doing some day trading.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And if Ace Bailey really wants to get out of Utah,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: then you've got to play, and you got to play
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: well and prove that you're great, and then you'll you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: can then have the leverage. At that point, you have
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the leverage, the player has the leverage. The player then
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: can force his way out of a Utah Jazz uniform,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: but not prior to that, right. So that's that's the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: situation there. And you know, Ace Bailey's a stock. They're
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: doing some day trading and if he wants to cash out,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: he's got to perform. Well, that's the reality a right now.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Page two. So the big rumor all day on Wednesday,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: which did not happen. The Celtics were flirting with trading
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brown really for the last forty eight hours prior
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to the draft. However, at least on Day one of
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the draft, they ultimately decided not to pull the trigger
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: on any kind of blockbuster deal. So now that the
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: first round of the draft is over. Is there a
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: big chance, a little chance, or no chance that Jalen
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: Brown is traded by the Celtics now that the first
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: round is over. So my response on this one, there
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: is a chance. It's not a big one and it's
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: not a no chance, like more of a keep your
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: eyes peeled just in case some kind of alert comes
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in from Schams And so it's that kind of a
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: chance because Boston gave Jalen Brown, was it three hundred
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: million I believe, So he's a basketball ferrari at, a
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: three hundred million dollar player, and they're wondering if they
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: should trade him. And if they trade him, what are
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: they gonna trade him? For? A Vespa and a gift
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: card from I don't know, Panera bread or something. That's
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: what you're gonna say. For now, Jalen Brown is the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: last man standing on a suddenly wobbly throne. The Celtics
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: were the champs. They're not the chumps yet, but they're
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: closer to being chumps than they are champs at this
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: particular mall. But Jason Tatum's on crutches. The Celtics are downsizing.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: They dumped Drew Holiday and Chris topsporzingis they saved themselves
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: two hundred million dollars and they're so pathetic that the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: Boston fan, a lot of them are excited because the
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: owners saved money on the luxury tax. Like what is that?
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I was not raised that way as a fan to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: be excited because the owners saved money. Like even here,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I love Fox Sports Radio. I've worked here pretty much
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: my entire adult life. Now it is my identity Fox
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio in my professional career. Do I get excited
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: when the company saves money?
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: I don't get excited. They should be excited. I don't
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: get excited for them. It's not like they give me
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: more money if they save money. And I don't know.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: And I don't even work for the Celtics ever a fan,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you don't work for the Celtics. It's like the Celtics
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: are trying to qualify for some financial aid package, so
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: they have to go below a certain threshold. The temptation.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And that's why the reason I can't say it's completely
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: over for Jalen Brown. The temptation in these situations is
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to either go for the championship or tear it down
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: to the studs in how you have a house and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: you buy a house and it's a fixer upper, well
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: you can make it a mansion, or you can tear
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: it all the way down, and then you don't have
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the budget, so you have to wait. And then eventually
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: you build it back up, right, you build it back up.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: And so they could trade Jalen Brown. They could package
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: him with a box of Canolei's. I know, Blind Scott
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: can pick up some Canolei's over there at the Bova's
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Bakery on the North End and just see what they
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: can get, you know, just see what they can get,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: you know, just go for it all right. Now, a
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: final point, I am now going to be the critic.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Well I'm kind of a critic anyway. It's kind of
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the gig. So I did consume the product the NBA draft.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I was locked in first five picks, and then after
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that I was watching baseball, flipping back and forth, and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I still watched most of the draft. There's so much
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: time between picks and with the baseball games and the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: commercials I ended up watching. I would say seventy five
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: percent of the product that was out there for the
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: NBA Draft. So question, how would you sum up the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: ESPN coverage of the twenty twenty five first round of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the NBA Draft. So I on the notes app on
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: my phone, I jotted down two words. Two words comic relief. Okay,
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: comic relief. I think we have some sow. We're going
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: to play here in a second, the worldwide leader of whoopsies. Uh.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: They turned the NBA draft coverage into a blooper reel
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: with a budget, I guess. I mean this was a
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: masterclass on how to be standing under the basket wide
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: open and bumba a layup, no defender in sight, no
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: defender insite. So let's start with a very awkward red
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: carpet moment, because you need a red carpet at a draft.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: They've been doing this for years. So the ESPN cameras
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: were there, they had the graphics, they had everything ready
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to go, and they managed to misidentify Cooper Flag, not once,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: but twice. Now, first they slapped his name under Ace
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: Bailey if I remember correctly. Then, in a really impressive
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: display of consistency and broadcasting, they called Dylan Harper Cooper Flag,
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: which would not be a problem if those guys were
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: not black. And Cooper Flag is a white guy who goofed.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I've got to know, right, So if you're keeping score
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: at home, that's zero for two on supposedly the face
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five NBA draft. So I know
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: how this works, right. So somebody in the IFB said, hey,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: we've got some b roll of Cooper flag, so introduce him.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: So then the talking head, who has no clue what
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: they're doing, they just repeat what they're told, and then
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the b roll turns out to be the wrong b roll,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: and so then they said, well, that's not Cooper flag.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Here's Cooper flag. So then they repeat it and then
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that's not Cooper flag either. Yeah, what they ought to
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: do at this point, I'm givinced this whole draft thing.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: They should just label everyone future Laker if he's good, right,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: future Laker if he's good, and then just that should
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: be the chiron on every pig, because that's pretty much
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: all the talking is now. That was bad, however, the
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: magnum opus. The magnum opus of the draft was courtesy
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of Malika Andrews. I think we have the audio on this,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: as she confidently announced the Portland Trailblazers had selected who.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the audio tape. Take a list So the.
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: Portland Trailblazers select Colin Poward. Here, this young man with
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: the ultimate bet on yourself story.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Colin Cowhard. I started out, was in Portland. He
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: actually radio there, was in Vegas and went to ESPN,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: went to our place, big success story. Replaced the Tony
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Kornheiser on his radio show. So and I've done some
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: events with Cowhard over the years. I think I could
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: post them up. But play that again. This is a
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: great pick by the Trailblazers. He certainly got some name
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: brand value and he's somebody's a household name for sports fans.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: And this what a pick by the Trailblazers. And they
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: got they got Colin Cowhard in What pick was that?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: That was the eleventh pick? Take a listen again, this
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is amazing.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Poward Here, this is
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: a young man with the ultimate bet on yourself story.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: It's amazing and very Excitingly, the Atlanta Hawks drafted Rob
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Parker in the second round. So Rob was a little upset.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: He thought he should have been a first round pick.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: He was very disappointed. Now, Mike Harmon, Mike Harmon is
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: still on the board, so he's still He's still on
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the board. So there you go. And somewhere in the
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: suburbs of Chicago, where Cowherd now resides, he probably checked
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: his phone and wondered if he had been traded for
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: a hot take to be named later or something like that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: But it's it's wild that that draft coverage, which maybe
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: it's always been bad, I don't know, it just seems
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: like it was worse this year. It's like a Disney
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: Channel variety show or something like that. And in general,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's this mishmash of is it the Bachelor? Is
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: it America's got talent? Like? What are we doing here?
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: It's it's very bizarre, but hey, it gives us stuff
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about, so it's not it's not all bad.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: He gives us things to talk about. We need things
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to talk about. If they were actually good, we wouldn't
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: been able to talk about. There'd be nothing to talk about.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show. And if you want
• 32:06

  Speaker 1: Jahatis John from Michigan. No, the correct answer is none
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: other then the miss who did it for the brewer,

  Speaker 1: Jacob Zzarowski, the new feet up in Milwaukee. But he's
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: not dating a hot girl, so nobody knows who he is.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Here we go, how about that? To the third degree?
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: This is one big vent gets grilled. Alright, Ian, Roddy,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: go aheadyright Gunny, We're gonna call you the nickname jumped
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the gun Ian is what we're gonna call you name.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: All right, I've earned a nickname. Let's jump right in
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: the The Spurs selected Rutgers point guard Dylan Harper with
• 38:43
  Speaker 7: the second overall pick in the draft tonight. As you mentioned, Ben,
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: the thing is, they just traded for another star point
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: guard in de Aaron Fox a few months ago, and
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: they have the point guard who literally just won Rookie
• 38:52
  Speaker 7: of the Year in Steph Castle. So Ben, can san
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: Antonio make it work with three point guards or does
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: someone have to go?
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Well, eventually someone will go. We don't know whether Dylan
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Harper can play. I hope he can't play. I was
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: a fan of Ron Harper as old man, one of
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: the great clippers of all time, so I'm pulling for him.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: You can make it work during the regular season. Typically
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs that doesn't work. You can't play three
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: guards at a time in the playoffs. But if these
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: guys are great offensive players and they don't kill you defensively,
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: you can absolutely make it work during the regular season.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: And they've got Wemby in the middle to make up
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: for a lot of poor defensive assignments. So I'm gonna
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: go tentatively, yes, in the regular season, but not the playoffs.
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: Next all right, Warriors for where Jonathan Kaminga told The
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: Athletic that he's at a point where he wants to
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: be the featured guy on a team, a team can
• 39:37
  Speaker 7: rely on, whether that's in Golden State or somewhere else.
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: So he said he wants to be a multi time
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: All Star and he's never really gotten that chance in
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: Golden State. He's ready to see what he can do. So, Ben,
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: do you think this is the right attitude for the
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: twenty two year old on a winning team or is
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: he right for wanting to spread his wings?
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, So I understand he's tired of being a
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: supporting actor. He wants to be a leading actor and
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: all that, But he's really saying is I would like
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to play for a crap team. I'm willing to play
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: for the Charlotte Hornets or the Trailblazers. You know, I'll
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: be the I'll be the superstar, I'll be a rock star.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: I'll be a big fish in a small pond. So
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: he's not He's like, I don't really care about winning anymore.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what's That's what it sounds like to me. Next.
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: Sources told to ESPN that Texas State is expected. They're
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: expecting an invitation to join the PAC twelve, which would
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: give the conference its eighth and final team, which would
• 40:25
  Speaker 7: then give them also a presence in the state of Texas,
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: obviously a big football state. So Ben, do you see
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: this as a big deal or just the PAC twelve
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: hanging on for dear life?
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: No.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I imagine somebody in a Calma waking up and saying, Oh,
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch some PAC twelve football this year. Wait
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: a minute, what is it? Texas State versus Fresnos? What
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: are we doing? All right? How'd we do it? There?
• 40:43

• 43:34
  Speaker 1: and I had a great time. I talk about that
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: probably on the podcast this weekend. But uh yeah, you know,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: Disneyland's rare and appropriate. I'm not like the Loraina who's
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: got to pass and goes all the time. But I
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: I go every once in a while. It's cool and

  Speaker 1: And why?
• 44:12
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: We get asked this question quite a bit, and I
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: am I am actually a superhero. You don't know this
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: because you're younger than I am, but I am gasbag
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: man and that is a superhero. My superpower is hot
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: takes in the middle of the night, and I can
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: overwhelm people with my hot takes where they get vaporized
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: and neutralized, and it's and if somebody is in a
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: tough situation, I come in there and I give hot
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: takes and I cheer them up. What about you, Lorena,
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I like.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: The idea of being like an elastic girl type thing.
• 44:41
  Speaker 6: I used to want to be a contortionist, so being
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: super flexible would be fun.

• 45:01
  Speaker 7: outside of being a superhero because he's rich and you
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: know Playboy.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: He's got a butler, Alfred the Butler.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's got his own butler. So I think I
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: didn't go with Batman. But power wise, I like the flash,
• 45:12
  Speaker 7: you know, or dash from the incredible super speed that
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: kind of thing.
