Speaker 2: to talk some college football here. That's right, college football.
0:11
Speaker 2: There's a lot of chatter about the future of Lane Kiffin.
0:14
Speaker 2: Will he stay at Ole miss or go to another
0:16
Speaker 2: LSU or Florida like school in free agency and coaching
0:20
Speaker 2: even though he's under contract. But there's a story out
0:23
Speaker 2: that Arkansas is on the prowl for a former NFL
0:27
Speaker 2: head coach. Would Arkansas actually take a shot at John Gruden?
0:33
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that. Pro bouncy ball. What does this trend
0:36
Speaker 2: of stars going a wall say about the modern NBA?
0:40
Speaker 2: Historically terrible, the lack of playing by star players in
0:46
Speaker 2: the NBA, it's at an all time high. So much
0:49
Speaker 2: for the end of load management. And in the Major
0:51
Speaker 2: League Baseball world. Why would Chota Imanaga stay with the Cubs?
0:57
Speaker 2: They rejected him, he took the qualifying they didn't want
1:00
Speaker 2: him around, and he's still staying. We'll talk about that
1:03
Speaker 2: as well and more right now here, it is our
1:06
Speaker 2: number three. They call him Sark the Shark. Welcome in
1:14
Speaker 2: the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show.
1:18
Speaker 1: We are in the air.
1:21
Speaker 2: Awhere you cannot stop us. You can only try to
1:27
Speaker 2: contain us as we shoot the crap literally hour after
1:31
Speaker 2: hour and provide elegance in every bite and every sports
1:37
Speaker 2: take coast, the coast, border, the border, and beyond on
1:42
Speaker 2: the vast and glaringly powerful microphones of FSR emmnating live
1:51
Speaker 2: from the side, the ring side for the chatter from
1:55
Speaker 2: the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios where legends like
1:59
Speaker 2: Craig Sheman worked back in the day. In this portion
2:03
Speaker 2: of the Ben Malers Show on Fox, made possible in
2:08
Speaker 2: part by our friends at tire Rack.
2:10
Speaker 1: The King Rory, the one and only knows.
2:14
Speaker 2: That tire Rack has been helping customers find the right
2:17
Speaker 2: tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
2:20
Speaker 2: and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
2:24
Speaker 2: installation options like mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com,
2:29
Speaker 2: the way that tire buying show be all right, we
2:34
Speaker 2: are back at it here hanging out and our lead
2:37
Speaker 2: this hour from the coaching carousel. The coaching carousel goes
2:40
Speaker 2: round and round and round and round and round, the
2:41
Speaker 2: coaching carousel.
2:42
Speaker 1: All right.
2:43
Speaker 2: So Austin Texas we go, Austin, Texas, where the longhorns
2:49
Speaker 2: have kicked themselves out. They're not going to make the
2:52
Speaker 2: college football Playoff. Tim and the Losses mediocre team got
2:55
Speaker 2: beat up by Georgia last time I watched him play,
2:57
Speaker 2: So Texas coach Steve Sarkesy in the Old USC Coach
3:02
Speaker 2: Sarkesian was asked about well, everyone even asked about it. I
3:06
Speaker 2: think he brought this up on his own. But the
3:08
Speaker 2: issue the coaching carousel. There's not enough name brand coaches
3:14
Speaker 2: for the schools that want name brand coaches, and so
3:18
Speaker 2: supply and demand, supply and demand. We all learned about that,
3:21
Speaker 2: and there's a supply chain shortage, and so the schools
3:25
Speaker 2: are fighting for coaches that have issues, the moles and
3:29
Speaker 2: the wards, but they have a name, and so Steve
3:31
Speaker 2: Starkesian has a name as the Texas coach. And he
3:35
Speaker 2: pushed back against claims that he is looking to leave
3:38
Speaker 2: the program.
3:40
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard this or not. Maybe not,
3:43
Speaker 1: maybe not. I guess the editing.
3:44
Speaker 2: Department didn't hear about it either, But sarks said that
3:47
Speaker 2: he is quote not going anywhere. He said Sarkisian, addressing
3:53
Speaker 2: the stories that are bouncing around the echo chamber here
3:56
Speaker 2: about his departure. One and one report said he was
4:01
Speaker 2: going to the Tennessee Titans. Another report said that he
4:05
Speaker 2: was going to be going to a different college. Jeff,
4:07
Speaker 2: we do have our here's rather than me give you
4:09
Speaker 2: the whole quote, here's some Steve Sarkisian commenting in his
4:13
Speaker 2: fifth year as the Longhorns coaches, sarked on his situation,
4:18
Speaker 2: I'm not going anywhere.
4:19
Speaker 3: I've had no discussions, not with my agent, not with
4:23
Speaker 3: the university, not with any other school, not with any
4:26
Speaker 3: NFL team about ever going anywhere else.
4:29
Speaker 4: I came here to win championships.
4:31
Speaker 3: So moving forward, when some Joe Blow decides to put
4:35
Speaker 3: something on social media out there, we all don't run
4:37
Speaker 3: with it like it's the gospel. Can we all agree
4:40
Speaker 3: on that? And if you have a question about my
4:42
Speaker 3: future with the University of Texas, ask me, ask Christell Connie.
4:47
Speaker 3: He'll be more than happy to take your call so
4:49
Speaker 3: that we can sect the record street so we can
4:51
Speaker 3: focus on our football team, which is really what we
4:54
Speaker 3: should be doing.
4:56
Speaker 2: We recorded that on a radio shack recorder from eighteen
5:00
Speaker 2: eighty two.
5:01
Speaker 1: It's the latest technology.
5:03
Speaker 2: But Sarkisian said, as you heard there, he normally doesn't
5:05
Speaker 2: address these reports and all that stuff. So I love
5:08
Speaker 2: when he's coaches often said I don't talk about this stuff.
5:11
Speaker 2: And then he just said, if anyone has in questions,
5:13
Speaker 2: ask me. But then when you ask them normally, they said,
5:15
Speaker 2: I'm not going to talk about that. All right, that's
5:18
Speaker 2: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
5:21
Speaker 2: for the esteem panel, which you are a part of.
5:24
Speaker 2: How much stalk do we put into? Texas coach Steve
5:29
Speaker 2: sarkisian saying he's not going anywhere, all right, So my
5:34
Speaker 2: views on this, I've got cups and balls, ticket Master,
5:39
Speaker 2: Think Tank, cups and balls, ticket Master and think Tank,
5:44
Speaker 2: and we'll put all of these things together and we'll
5:47
Speaker 2: put the biscuit in the basket.
5:49
Speaker 1: Is what we're going to do.
5:51
Speaker 2: So first of all, the amount of stock that I
5:53
Speaker 2: put in is squad douche. Okay, bupkus, bupkus. This is
6:00
Speaker 2: a penny stock. It is a waste of oxygen. It
6:03
Speaker 2: is all of that. Sarks stood up there and delivered
6:06
Speaker 2: an extended state of the.
6:07
Speaker 1: Union of denial.
6:10
Speaker 2: And we've had no discussions, he said at one point,
6:14
Speaker 2: We've had no discussions. As you said, I've had no discussions. Yes,
6:20
Speaker 2: you've had no discussions. Steve Sarkisian. You you did not
6:26
Speaker 2: talk to anyone.
6:28
Speaker 1: You did not Now you're agent.
6:30
Speaker 2: On the other hand, well, yeah, it's not my first rodeo.
6:36
Speaker 2: I've been doing this for a while and normally what
6:38
Speaker 2: happens is you have a representative, the middleman, and they
6:43
Speaker 2: are the ones that are burning up the text line,
6:47
Speaker 2: the phone calls. That's always the loop de loop, the loophole.
6:52
Speaker 2: Always the loop de loop, the loophole, and that's the
6:55
Speaker 2: escape patch. I remember I had for a year. I
6:59
Speaker 2: had this is god just back many years but I
7:01
Speaker 2: had a TV job and I had an agent, a
7:05
Speaker 2: very powerful agency in Hollywood. And the agent told me,
7:09
Speaker 2: he said, we went out to lunch at some very
7:11
Speaker 2: expensive restaurant and he's like, yeah, so I do all
7:15
Speaker 2: the work and you just you don't you say play stupid.
7:18
Speaker 2: He's like, he gave me the whole lay of the
7:20
Speaker 2: land and all that stuff. That's the same agent that famously,
7:23
Speaker 2: when I was in Stanford, Connecticut and my TV gig
7:27
Speaker 2: was wrapping up, and I contacted the agent because I
7:30
Speaker 2: had to get another gig, and.
7:32
Speaker 1: He never returned my calls, never returned my calls.
7:37
Speaker 4: That was fun.
7:38
Speaker 1: I still he never called me back. Never.
7:40
Speaker 2: I never heard what happened anyway, But the words are
7:43
Speaker 2: plausible deniability.
7:46
Speaker 1: It's straight out of the Nick.
7:47
Speaker 2: Sabin Lanekiffin school of coaching duplicity. And this is the
7:53
Speaker 2: timeless playbook. I remember being here at Fox Sports Radio
7:56
Speaker 2: when a guy named Nick Saban was coaching the Miami
7:59
Speaker 2: Dolphins and was doing an absolutely horrific job. Was completely
8:02
Speaker 2: overwhelmed by the NFL. Could not handle it could handle
8:06
Speaker 2: the junior varsity of college, but could not handle the
8:08
Speaker 2: varsity of the NFL, and just completely in overhead. And
8:12
Speaker 2: there were all kinds of rumors that Nick Saban was
8:14
Speaker 2: going to run off to the college football.
8:17
Speaker 1: Again, and there were all kinds.
8:19
Speaker 2: Of stories about his wife going to Alabama and looking
8:22
Speaker 2: at places. So Saban looked right in the eye of
8:27
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins beat reporters and said, I Am not going
8:31
Speaker 2: to be the Alabama coach.
8:34
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks later, Roll.
8:36
Speaker 2: Todd, how about Lane kivin Lane Kiffin when he was
8:40
Speaker 2: at Tennessee's I'm locked in, you know paraphrasma, I'm locked
8:45
Speaker 2: in And then he skid daddled off to the University
8:48
Speaker 2: of Southern California. The people of Knoxville, led by Danny
8:53
Speaker 2: and Nashville who came over there. They were burning sulfis.
8:56
Speaker 2: They were so upset they took out the West Virginia
8:58
Speaker 2: move started burning furniture. They were so upset with Lane Kiff,
9:01
Speaker 2: and there were guys running around with torches.
9:03
Speaker 1: They were so upset, and.
9:05
Speaker 2: Lane's like, oh, I'm locked in at Tennessee. And then
9:07
Speaker 2: of course the door left swinging. Coaches lie. They're like politicians,
9:13
Speaker 2: right to your face. They will do whatever it takes
9:16
Speaker 2: in that moment. No hesitation, no hesitation at all. We
9:20
Speaker 2: all know that it's not personal, it's business. That's why
9:23
Speaker 2: I find it amusing that we pay attention to what
9:26
Speaker 2: these idiots say, but they don't. They're all con men, right.
9:30
Speaker 2: They do it because they want to keep recruits calm.
9:32
Speaker 2: They want to keep boosters. Most importantly these days, it's
9:35
Speaker 2: about boosters, right. You want to keep the boosters happy,
9:38
Speaker 2: keep the negotiations open and all that stuff. You deny
9:41
Speaker 2: the rumors publicly, all right, You deny the rumors publicly,
9:45
Speaker 2: and your agent works the back channels privately.
9:48
Speaker 1: It's in magic.
9:49
Speaker 2: It's called the cup and balls trick, right, cup and
9:52
Speaker 2: ball Stree coaches don't speak from the heart.
9:55
Speaker 1: They speak from.
9:56
Speaker 2: Leverage is what they speak from now under the mouth
9:58
Speaker 2: or microscope, under the Mallard microscope sark statement proves nothing
10:04
Speaker 2: except that something's up, methinks, dos coach protests a bit
10:11
Speaker 2: too much, all right. Secondly, to Cansa City, we go
10:17
Speaker 2: home of the Ben Mallard chicken fingers and some new
10:21
Speaker 2: comments made by the first man in the Taylor Swift
10:25
Speaker 2: Universe question. Travis Kelsey says that he would take this
10:30
Speaker 2: year's Kansas City Chiefs the twenty twenty five vintage of
10:34
Speaker 2: the Chiefs over last year's Chiefs. The team that won
10:37
Speaker 2: the AFC that got to the Super Bowl and got
10:40
Speaker 2: their doors wrung, just knocked off the hinges there by
10:45
Speaker 2: the Eagles in the Super Bowl. So how do you
10:48
Speaker 2: read this one?
10:50
Speaker 1: All right? How do you read this one?
10:52
Speaker 2: So on this one, I've got eyebrows raised, all right,
10:56
Speaker 2: My eyebrows are raised little bit.
10:58
Speaker 1: This is pigskin etiquette on one.
11:01
Speaker 2: If you look at the pigskin Etiquette book, Pigskin Etiquette.
11:06
Speaker 1: One oh one, it's rule number one.
11:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, there we go, all right, every season, every season,
11:14
Speaker 2: whether you're a star player or a coach. Every season
11:16
Speaker 2: you must say that your current team, your current team
11:20
Speaker 2: is the best one. Now, the best one we know
11:23
Speaker 2: means as good as all the rest. But it doesn't
11:26
Speaker 2: matter if you're fifteen and two one year and then
11:30
Speaker 2: the next year you go five and five to start
11:33
Speaker 2: the year. You sell it like it's Taylor Swift tickets
11:36
Speaker 2: on ticket Master. You don't analyze, you promote. It isn't
11:42
Speaker 2: football talk. It's motivational. Mumbo jumbo dude.
11:48
Speaker 1: Like that word mumbo jump, and he uses that word.
11:50
Speaker 2: More mumbo jumbo, mumbo jumbo dumboalaya, all that stuff. So anyway,
11:57
Speaker 2: the point is you convince the locker room. Okay, you
12:00
Speaker 2: convince the locker room that this roster is special. Even
12:03
Speaker 2: if the record screams average. Its optimism as performance art
12:09
Speaker 2: is what it is. And to be fair, statistically, Travis
12:13
Speaker 2: Kelsey's got just enough amo to.
12:16
Speaker 1: Make it sound legit.
12:18
Speaker 2: Because if you do the Pepsi challenge, the blind side
12:21
Speaker 2: by side comparison, the twenty twenty five Chiefs are seventh
12:26
Speaker 2: in offense. The Chiefs of last year were nineteenth in offense.
12:30
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty five Chiefs are seventh in total defense.
12:34
Speaker 2: Last year they were good. They were tenth in total defense.
12:37
Speaker 2: So yeah, on a tablet, if you get out your tablet,
12:41
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five Chiefs are not a disaster, all right,
12:45
Speaker 2: they're not regardless. Football games, amazingly, are not decided by
12:49
Speaker 2: the stats on Pro Football Reference dot com. Are you
12:52
Speaker 2: get judged on the mother of all stats?
12:55
Speaker 5: Now?
12:55
Speaker 1: You know what the mother of all stats is? Do
12:58
Speaker 1: you know?
13:00
Speaker 2: Oh, this is something that Jim Rome used to say
13:03
Speaker 2: back in the day. Score bart Uh. Yeah, the twenty
13:05
Speaker 2: twenty four Chiefs after ten games.
13:08
Speaker 1: You know what, the record was nine and one, nine
13:12
Speaker 1: and one.
13:12
Speaker 2: The twenty twenty five Chiefs polar opposites five and five
13:17
Speaker 2: after ten games. So, Kansas City, they do have statistically
13:20
Speaker 2: a better offense and a better defense, and yet they
13:23
Speaker 2: have a worse record.
13:25
Speaker 1: That's like saying, hey, I went on ozempic.
13:28
Speaker 2: I hit the gym every day, and I'm in the
13:31
Speaker 2: best shape of my life. And oh, by the way,
13:34
Speaker 2: I gained twelve pounds. But you were on a drug
13:38
Speaker 2: that you lose weight on and you went to the
13:41
Speaker 2: gym every day. What were you doing watching TV at
13:43
Speaker 2: the gym, eating bond bonds? And you gained twelve pounds. Congratulations,
13:48
Speaker 2: thumbs up, way to go, good job by you. All Right,
13:50
Speaker 2: So the twenty twenty five Chiefs statistically again might be better,
13:55
Speaker 2: but twenty twenty four was better. And one of those
13:59
Speaker 2: teams dangerous the other one. It just feels like there's
14:03
Speaker 2: something just a little off. They're losing close games they
14:06
Speaker 2: always won those. They're not making the game changing plays that.
14:11
Speaker 1: They made in the past. Now there's still time to
14:14
Speaker 1: change the narrative.
14:14
Speaker 5: Right.
14:15
Speaker 2: They're the one with the pen in their hands, and
14:16
Speaker 2: they are the one that can rewrite the story.
14:18
Speaker 1: They're in the writer's room. They can do the jokes
14:20
Speaker 1: better and all that stuff.
14:21
Speaker 2: And if they win out, if some butts were candy
14:24
Speaker 2: and nuts, you'd win the Super Bowl every year. So
14:25
Speaker 2: it's not over. It's just not looking particularly good. Right,
14:29
Speaker 2: And so we're at a fork in the road where
14:31
Speaker 2: if you look at Kansas City, say, Okay, what's gonna
14:33
Speaker 2: happen next? Is this thing gonna work out? Are they
14:36
Speaker 2: gonna figure things out? Or you know, how's this gonna go?
14:39
Speaker 2: And it's they hit a bump here, Broncos got them
14:44
Speaker 2: on a lad drive. The Chiefs normally win that game.
14:49
Speaker 2: That's just noing something goes their way, they win that game.
14:52
Speaker 2: Obviously here they did not. They got the Colts coming
14:55
Speaker 2: up on Sunday. They're a slight favorite in that game,
14:58
Speaker 2: but you look after that in Dallas they suck. The
15:03
Speaker 2: Texans have no real offense, really good defense. The Chargers
15:07
Speaker 2: is a fifty to fifty game. Tennessee's a show up
15:10
Speaker 2: and win game. They play the Broncos again and then
15:12
Speaker 2: the Raiders. So there are some winnable games there that
15:15
Speaker 2: there's really no margin for error for Kansas City. All right,
15:18
Speaker 2: final thought, we pivot away from the NFL and college football.
15:24
Speaker 2: We go to pro bouncy ball.
15:26
Speaker 1: Why are you going to pro bouncey ball? Do what
15:28
Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball? Shut up?
15:30
Speaker 2: Listen to me, all right, just put up with it.
15:33
Speaker 2: Even Blake and Arkansas can put up with it. So
15:36
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Cavaliers as a franchise were fined one.
15:40
Speaker 1: Hundred thousand dollars. One hundred thousand dollars.
15:45
Speaker 2: The reason they were fined one hundred thousand dollars because
15:47
Speaker 2: they skirted the load management rules. They held Donovan Mitchell,
15:53
Speaker 2: Donovan Spider Mitchell, and Evan Mobley, a couple of their
15:57
Speaker 2: star players out of a game against the Miami Heat
16:00
Speaker 2: last week.
16:01
Speaker 1: They weren't hurt, mind you, They weren't sick. They were
16:05
Speaker 1: just in need of rest, delicate little flowers. They needed
16:09
Speaker 1: their rest. They needed their rest.
16:11
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna call my boss up today and
16:13
Speaker 2: I say, you know, I just I need a load
16:15
Speaker 2: management day.
16:16
Speaker 1: I just, you know, just can I get that?
16:18
Speaker 5: Oh?
16:18
Speaker 1: Sure? Why not? Are you sick? No, I'm not sick. Yeah,
16:20
Speaker 1: I just want to load management day. Anyway, get to
16:22
Speaker 1: the point, please, So the coach.
16:24
Speaker 2: You probably don't know who this is. Kenny Atkinson is
16:27
Speaker 2: the guy's name. And he was asked about this, and
16:30
Speaker 2: he was defiant.
16:32
Speaker 1: He has no.
16:34
Speaker 2: Plans whatsoever of changing his strategy. He said, quote can
16:39
Speaker 2: I be Frank? Well, when you say that, I don't
16:43
Speaker 2: think he was talking about the late great Frank Pollack,
16:45
Speaker 2: my old engineer.
16:46
Speaker 1: I love Frank.
16:47
Speaker 2: May he rest in peace, the big cod piece in
16:49
Speaker 2: the sky, he said, Can I be Frank? No, Atkinson
16:54
Speaker 2: said when asked if he agreed with or accepted the
16:57
Speaker 2: NBA's punishment, he said, quote, que I gotta look out
17:01
Speaker 2: for the calves best interest clothes.
17:03
Speaker 1: Quote all right, question, what did you think.
17:08
Speaker 2: Of the Calves coach Kenny Atkinson and his defiance on
17:13
Speaker 2: load management.
17:16
Speaker 1: So he's like the guy I saw the clip and
17:20
Speaker 1: I saw the quote.
17:21
Speaker 2: So Kenny Atkinson's kind of like the guy on probation,
17:25
Speaker 2: like Jed who fled, kind of guy who goes in
17:28
Speaker 2: front of the judge and he says, yeah, yeah, whatever,
17:32
Speaker 2: and he tells the judge, I got plans.
17:34
Speaker 1: I got to get out of here.
17:35
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go down to the liquor store across from
17:37
Speaker 2: the courthouse. I'm gonna go across the street and I'm
17:40
Speaker 2: gonna go to the liquor store. I'm gonna buy some
17:42
Speaker 2: fireball and I'm gonna drink it, and then I'm gonna
17:46
Speaker 2: go ninety five miles an hour on my way home.
17:48
Speaker 1: That's my plan.
17:50
Speaker 2: Okay, So tell me you're a dope without actually telling
17:53
Speaker 2: me you're a dope. His rationale, Kenny Atkinson, the coach
17:57
Speaker 2: in Cleveland, is I gotta look out for the Calves
17:59
Speaker 2: best in.
18:01
Speaker 1: Okay, just kind of let that marinate.
18:04
Speaker 2: In your mind a little bit, like, hey, buddy about
18:06
Speaker 2: it that aboudy the best interest is not treating Donovid
18:10
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Evan Mobley like their porcelain dolls right out
18:14
Speaker 2: of a Tiffany box. Okay, Rest, here's the great thing.
18:19
Speaker 2: Rest has not stopped a single hamstring pull in the NBA.
18:25
Speaker 2: It is voodoo science, is what it is. They have
18:30
Speaker 2: turned mister Softy into a lifestyle brand.
18:34
Speaker 1: Holy Spacoli.
18:36
Speaker 2: They have Mister Softy, the iconic Mister Softy truck. They've
18:40
Speaker 2: moved it into a lifestyle brand. In that business, fans
18:43
Speaker 2: pay to see stars. That's the business model. That's how
18:48
Speaker 2: they have operated. Now if they're gonna change the business model,
18:50
Speaker 2: that's fine. They're not selling the stars. They're not selling
18:55
Speaker 2: the team. Miss selling stories, meaning like when the Lakers
18:57
Speaker 2: play the Warriors, they're selling Lebron and Luca versus Steph
19:02
Speaker 2: Curry and Jimmy Butler. That's what they're selling. People tune in.
19:07
Speaker 2: TV networks paid big money for the stars. Everyone wants
19:11
Speaker 2: the stars. They don't want the backups, they don't want
19:15
Speaker 2: the stand ins, they don't want them. Now on Broadway,
19:19
Speaker 2: if the headliner doesn't appear, they offer a refund. This
19:23
Speaker 2: whole load management plague.
19:25
Speaker 1: I know I'm.
19:26
Speaker 2: Repeating myself, but for those that missed previous episodes of
19:29
Speaker 2: the show, you're literally killing the golden goose. And I'll
19:32
Speaker 2: just use me as an example and how I relate
19:34
Speaker 2: to this. I grew up loving basketball. I loved watching
19:37
Speaker 2: the NBA.
19:38
Speaker 1: I did. In fact, I spent about fifteen years of
19:42
Speaker 1: my life. Every night, for.
19:46
Speaker 2: Five months, six months a year, I would be at
19:48
Speaker 2: NBA games. I covered the Clippers and Lakers on a
19:50
Speaker 2: regular basis. I was there, I was doing my thing,
19:53
Speaker 2: earning my stripes in the radio business.
19:55
Speaker 1: For a long time.
19:56
Speaker 2: I was there every night, and I loved it and
19:59
Speaker 2: told stories of my podcast about some of the great
20:01
Speaker 2: characters I came across to, like Bill Fitch, this old
20:04
Speaker 2: coach who taught me a little bit how the NBA works.
20:06
Speaker 1: I just have so many great memories of that.
20:08
Speaker 2: I loved it, and even after I stopped going every
20:11
Speaker 2: night to these games, I still watched. I always watched.
20:15
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how much I despise the product.
20:17
Speaker 2: Right now, during the regular season, I just cannot.
20:19
Speaker 5: I have it on.
20:21
Speaker 2: I have it on for content reasons. It's just such
20:23
Speaker 2: a terrible product. It's like that Italian restaurant where you
20:27
Speaker 2: love the fettichini alfredo and used to go there for
20:29
Speaker 2: the fetichini alfredo, and they kept serving your grit fetichini alfredo.
20:33
Speaker 2: And then one time you went there, they put cockroaches
20:34
Speaker 2: and you said, I don't like cockroaches. They said, okay,
20:36
Speaker 2: we'll take the cockroaches out. So they took the cockroaches out,
20:39
Speaker 2: and they put maggots in there. You said, I don't
20:40
Speaker 2: like maggots. Why'd you put maggots in there. Okay, we'll
20:42
Speaker 2: take the maggots out. The next time you come back,
20:44
Speaker 2: they put they put actual rats in there, so I
20:46
Speaker 2: don't want rats. It's something every single time. And here's
20:49
Speaker 2: the kicker, the NBA. They're killing the golden goose. This
20:53
Speaker 2: load management play killing the golden goose. The NBA is
20:55
Speaker 2: in bed. They are a gambling operation. They're in bed
20:58
Speaker 2: with the major gambling company. Every gambling company under the
21:01
Speaker 2: sun has a partnership with the NBA. And they want action.
21:05
Speaker 2: They need certainty. The people that bet need certainty. They
21:09
Speaker 2: need to know availability. And the thing about it, back
21:13
Speaker 2: in the day, in the eighties and the nineties, coaches
21:17
Speaker 2: had figured it out.
21:17
Speaker 1: The Stars didn't play forty minutes every game.
21:20
Speaker 2: Back then, they would do half days. You're on school
21:25
Speaker 2: sometimes you get a half day and you get to
21:27
Speaker 2: leave early.
21:29
Speaker 1: That's the middle ground.
21:30
Speaker 2: The Stars would play twenty five minutes. Fans got to
21:33
Speaker 2: see the Stars for twenty five minutes instead of forty,
21:36
Speaker 2: and that was that. Instead, you think about where we
21:39
Speaker 2: have come in sports. We have mystery injuries, phantom soreness,
21:45
Speaker 2: we have recovery days. This is with all of the
21:50
Speaker 2: top things, flying, first class police escorts, private trainers, massage therapists.
21:58
Speaker 2: You've got your soux chef, You've got your or your baker,
22:01
Speaker 2: you've got your shrinks for your sports medicine. And since
22:06
Speaker 2: all of this has come into the NBA, you'd think
22:10
Speaker 2: the players would be able to play more than ever.
22:12
Speaker 2: But no, So I've got a solution. We've activated the
22:15
Speaker 2: Malar Think Tank. Spent a lot of money on this,
22:18
Speaker 2: the Malar Think Tank. So the solution. If you have
22:20
Speaker 2: a problem, you have to come up with solutions. The
22:22
Speaker 2: solution from an infomercial money back guarantee. Money back guarantee.
22:30
Speaker 2: Now you can say full refund if.
22:33
Speaker 1: You don't go to the game.
22:34
Speaker 2: If you go to the game and the Star players
22:36
Speaker 2: don't play, fifty percent off tickets, fifty percent off tickets.
22:41
Speaker 1: If the Stars don't play.
22:42
Speaker 2: You also have to give fans a twenty four hour
22:44
Speaker 2: notice in advance, or you get a full refund.
22:47
Speaker 1: Everyone gets a full refund.
22:49
Speaker 2: And I will guarant effing te you if the NBA
22:52
Speaker 2: put a money back guarantee in.
22:54
Speaker 1: These players would play. They would play.
22:57
Speaker 2: And why should a family pay a premium to watch
23:00
Speaker 2: Wemby get hemorrhoids on the bench. In fact, that's a
23:03
Speaker 2: great example. The NBC game the other night was Memphis
23:06
Speaker 2: and San Antonio.
23:07
Speaker 1: They flexed it. They flexed it to show Wemby, who
23:11
Speaker 1: was not playing in that.
23:12
Speaker 2: Game, and out and the arena in San Antonio there
23:17
Speaker 2: were hundreds and hundreds of empty seats. I turned the
23:20
Speaker 2: game on. I was laughing. I was texting my buddies.
23:22
Speaker 2: I said, NBC put this game on to showcase this
23:26
Speaker 2: San Antonio Spurs, and even the people of San Antonio don't.
23:30
Speaker 1: Want to watch the team play.
23:31
Speaker 2: It was so funny because it's such a bad product,
23:34
Speaker 2: and it says you hype the fireworks. People pay to
23:38
Speaker 2: see fireworks and you deliver smoke bombs. That's not fireworks.
23:42
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson just lobbed a Molotov cocktail right into the
23:46
Speaker 2: own the business that he's doing, and the NBA, for
23:49
Speaker 2: the most part, just shrugs and until Adam Silver grows
23:52
Speaker 2: a pair of you know what, the circus rolls on.
23:56
Speaker 2: Get a backbone, Go to whatever planet you came from,
23:59
Speaker 2: get a back bone. You got empty seats, you got
24:02
Speaker 2: angry gamblers, you got stars with ice packs.
24:04
Speaker 1: On their on their feelings, and so think list and
24:08
Speaker 1: the caves.
24:08
Speaker 2: Are guilty of basketball malpractice, and the beat goes on.
