Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Knock, knock, who's there? Well, that would be none other
- 0:03Speaker 1: than the gibber jabber of our number three, Lebron James.
- 0:10Speaker 2: The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
- 0:13Speaker 1: Lebron hit a game winner the other night for the
- 0:14Speaker 1: Lakers in Indiana, the Hoosier State now onto Illinois in Chicago,
- 0:19Speaker 1: and Lebron being called out, in particular getting roasted for
- 0:24Speaker 1: his play in a shocking final seconds loss.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Is that inbounds or out of bound? Says?
- 0:31Speaker 1: Lebron ends up losing a game the Lakers do to
- 0:36Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls. Also, Adam Silver's complaints about the lack
- 0:40Speaker 1: of celebratory media coverage of the NBA Stars is blank.
- 0:47Speaker 2: We'll we'll get to that.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Also, seventy six Ers executive Darryl Morey says that the
- 0:53Speaker 1: amount of three point shooting is essentially breaking the game.
- 0:59Speaker 1: How does that one hit you? Yeah, one of the
- 1:02Speaker 1: forefathers of modern three point obsession is now saying it's
- 1:07Speaker 1: a bad thing. We'll get to that, and a whole
- 1:09Speaker 1: lot more right now, it's a wake up call. It's
- 1:12Speaker 1: our number three.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Now, that is a whole lot of bull No.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Really, it was wel come in the beginning of another
- 1:25Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Malor Show.
- 1:27Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Amigos, as we are the sauce box coast to coast, border,
- 1:36Speaker 1: the border and beyond on the mast and epically powerful
- 1:42Speaker 1: microphones of FSR emmundating live from the Cunival the Converse

- 2:02Speaker 1: and over ten thousand recommended installers. I think it was
- 2:09Speaker 1: Sports Plus that said he loved that number. Ten thousand
- 2:12Speaker 1: ti Raq dot com the way tire buying should be.
- 2:14Speaker 1: I think I think Sports Plus said that that's how
- 2:18Speaker 1: much the Dodgers will be charging for food. It'll be
- 2:21Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars per Dodger dog before long.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, anyway, our lead this hour.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm doing this. I wasn't planning on
- 2:31Speaker 1: doing this, but here we are. Pro bouncy ball now.
- 2:36Speaker 1: When I went to bed, I had it all mapped
- 2:39Speaker 1: out in my head. Mister Benny Blabermouth, I was like, Ah,
- 2:41Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. I know, the sweet sixteen's
- 2:44Speaker 1: going on. Something's gonna happen there. I'll be enthusiastic about
- 2:48Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen. I said, Okay, opening day, I'm in.
- 2:53Speaker 1: I did not on my bingo card have NBA regular
- 2:57Speaker 1: season basketball.
- 3:00Speaker 2: On my agenda. But here we are.
- 3:03Speaker 1: Here we are, and in order for me to talk
- 3:07Speaker 1: about a regular season NBA game, something ungodly has to happen,
- 3:14Speaker 1: something unimaginable has to happen.
- 3:17Speaker 2: And that happened. That thing happened.
- 3:21Speaker 1: So I'm not sure if you were watching, you probably weren't.
- 3:25Speaker 1: I didn't even see this live. I did not watch
- 3:28Speaker 1: this live. I watched it about seventy five times after
- 3:32Speaker 1: the fact that if you saw the Chicago Bulls were
- 3:35Speaker 1: hosting the Los Angeles podcasters, the Purple and Gold podcasters,
- 3:43Speaker 1: And if you didn't see the end of this game,
- 3:45Speaker 1: this is one of the all time. I can't believe
- 3:48Speaker 1: what happened. How did that happen? That should not happen.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Well, what happened?
- 3:57Speaker 1: So Josh Giddy, you got to giddy with it. Josh
- 4:01Speaker 1: Giddy made a half court heave at the buzzer.
- 4:05Speaker 2: He let it go. Red light goes.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Off, swish, swish, swish in the wildest finish of the
- 4:14Speaker 1: NBA season in years, and not just this year. And
- 4:18Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls got a two point win. But that
- 4:21Speaker 1: doesn't even.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Tell the story. The story is how the Bulls got
- 4:25Speaker 2: to that point.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So the Bulls trailed by five points, right, they were
- 4:31Speaker 1: down by five points. It was one point fifteen to
- 4:34Speaker 1: one ten. There's twelve point six seconds left on the
- 4:39Speaker 1: scoreboard there in Chicago. So all the Lakers have to
- 4:43Speaker 1: do is just not foul, get the ball in bounds.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You're you're gonna win the game. And what happened next
- 4:54Speaker 2: is biblical.
- 4:57Speaker 1: In nature, all right, So it's he started out rather benign,
- 5:02Speaker 1: a guy named Patrick Williams. What a what a tough name.
- 5:06Speaker 1: You get to the NBA. Your name's Patrick Williams. Take
- 5:09Speaker 1: a number from the Deli count. It's probably been seventy
- 5:12Speaker 1: five players with that a name like that anyway, So
- 5:14Speaker 1: Patrick Williams sits a three point shot.
- 5:16Speaker 2: So now it's one fifteen to one thirteen.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Okay, fine, So then Kobe White, after a Laker turnover,
- 5:26Speaker 1: Kobe White ends up hitting a three point shot and
- 5:31Speaker 1: wam bam, just like that.
- 5:34Speaker 2: The Chicago Bulls are up by a.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Point They've gone from down five in the span of
- 5:41Speaker 1: six seconds, and now all of a sudden they are
- 5:44Speaker 1: They're up by one.
- 5:45Speaker 2: So time out on the court.
- 5:47Speaker 1: And the podcaster draws up a play with his assistant
- 5:50Speaker 1: coach Lebron and Austin Reeves, not Luca, not Lebron, Austin
- 5:57Speaker 1: Reeves the Great White. He drives for a layup, and
- 6:03Speaker 1: the Lakers are up one seventeen to one six team
- 6:07Speaker 1: with three seconds to go in the game. The Bulls
- 6:10Speaker 1: are out of timeout, out of timeouts, so it's just
- 6:14Speaker 1: throwing in and as long as the Lakers try to
- 6:17Speaker 1: play a little defense impede the shot, you win the game.
- 6:20Speaker 1: And then Josh Getty knocks down the three point shot.
- 6:24Speaker 1: So let us discuss this. This is a growth opportunity.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Lebron James. Here's the question. Lebron James in particular, is
- 6:32Speaker 1: getting roasted for his play in the final seconds in
- 6:37Speaker 1: this inbounds?
- 6:39Speaker 2: Is this inbounds or out of ount?
- 6:40Speaker 1: So Lebron James getting destroyed, getting absolutely destroyed for his
- 6:47Speaker 1: play in the final twelve seconds of this game. Is
- 6:50Speaker 1: it inbounds or out of bounds? So my views on this,
- 6:54Speaker 1: I've got resorts World barking, and labling. We'll combine all
- 7:01Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to get
- 7:04Speaker 1: knee deep in the muck, is what we're going to do. So,
- 7:08Speaker 1: first of all, after a replay assist, after a replay assist,
- 7:14Speaker 1: we have determined the court of the Malard Militia courtesy
- 7:20Speaker 1: of replay assist in the Mallard Command.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Center, inbounds. It is inbounds.
- 7:27Speaker 1: Lebron James should get off the Pat McAfee show and
- 7:32Speaker 1: stop trying to mess with our former morning guy stephen A.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Smith and focus on basketball. My god, this wasn't a
- 7:40Speaker 1: specific suck. We thought it was an all encompassing type
- 7:45Speaker 1: of suck for Lebron.
- 7:49Speaker 2: It was wild.
- 7:50Speaker 1: King James was caught loafing. He was loafing our our
- 7:56Speaker 1: our our yeah.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Uh, visiting resort Shortsworld.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Lebron had a cocktail, was floating on the lazy river.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Now I'm going to try to describe to you why
- 8:08Speaker 1: if I was the Chicago Bulls, I would give Lebron
- 8:11Speaker 1: a game ball, because that is not possible. All those
- 8:14Speaker 1: circus shots by the Bulls don't matter if Lebron.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Doesn't help them out. He was like the sixth man.
- 8:22Speaker 1: On the court as Lebron had not one not to
- 8:27Speaker 1: but I counted three game changing boners.
- 8:33Speaker 2: For the Lakers. Now what are they all? Right? So
- 8:36Speaker 2: the number one, the first one, he was.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Tardy on defense, and he didn't even really try to
- 8:45Speaker 1: even pretend like he was guarding Patrick Williams, who went
- 8:49Speaker 1: over to the corner on the baseline across from the
- 8:52Speaker 1: bench and just stood there and set up. And then
- 8:56Speaker 1: the bulls passing the ball and Lebron came over. He
- 9:00Speaker 1: was late because he didn't even I guess he lost
- 9:02Speaker 1: track of Patrick Williams or was just lazy. And so, yeah, you, Lebron,
- 9:07Speaker 1: And so Williams hits this wide open shot funt.
- 9:09Speaker 2: You're still up by two points.
- 9:12Speaker 1: You've got the ball, and what happened next is a felony.
- 9:16Speaker 2: It's a capital charge.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Lebron inbounds the ball face of the NBA Lebron James buddy.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Of Pat McAfee.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Pat McAfee gave him the hawk toy yesterday, the day
- 9:27Speaker 1: before this game, and I guess Lebron didn't have his
- 9:30Speaker 1: legs under him because Lebron went out there and he
- 9:34Speaker 1: inbounded the ball through a listless pass that was easily
- 9:38Speaker 1: intercepted by Josh Kitty, who then tossed the ball over
- 9:43Speaker 1: to Kobe White. He hit the three point shot. All
- 9:45Speaker 1: of a sudden, the Bulls have the lead. But wait,
- 9:48Speaker 1: there's more. So after the Lakers I mentioned the Lakers,
- 9:51Speaker 1: Austin Reeves hit a shot to give the podcasters the lead,
- 9:55Speaker 1: and with three seconds left, Josh Gitty. You know who
- 10:00Speaker 1: the closest defender to Josh Getty was at mid court
- 10:05Speaker 1: d N name name Ning Ning Lebron James game winner
- 10:10Speaker 1: Hail Mary by Josh Getty. This reminded me of a
- 10:15Speaker 1: play that many people have forgotten about because it's a
- 10:18Speaker 1: long time ago. The Stanford Band play The Stanford Band
- 10:23Speaker 1: play Cal Stanford and one of the great radio calls
- 10:28Speaker 1: of all time, the most amazing, sensational, traumatic, heartrending, exciting,
- 10:34Speaker 1: thrilling finish in recent NBA regular season play. And how
- 10:40Speaker 1: pathetic were the Lakers. They don't even try to play defense.
- 10:43Speaker 1: They are so screwed, they are so screwed.
- 10:46Speaker 2: They're done. The Lakers are done.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Chicago shot and I'm not making this up, by the way,
- 10:53Speaker 1: in the fourth.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Quarter, what do you think Chicago shot from the floor?
- 10:58Speaker 2: How about seventy eight eight point nine percent from the floor.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the Lakers saying, we don't give a
- 11:06Speaker 1: fly on f about playing defense. We want to go
- 11:09Speaker 1: out and join Chicago after the game. We're going to
- 11:11Speaker 1: save our energy for that seventy eight point nine percent
- 11:15Speaker 1: from the floor. They took fourteen to three point shots
- 11:20Speaker 1: in the fourth court of the Bulls and made eleven
- 11:22Speaker 1: of them. They shot seventy eight point six percent from downtown.
- 11:29Speaker 2: All right.
- 11:30Speaker 1: The Lakers had an eighteen point lead in the fourth
- 11:32Speaker 1: quarter and gave it all back and were outscored by
- 11:37Speaker 1: Chicago forty four to twenty six in the final twelve minutes.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Absolutely insanity. Again, I would fire JJ Reddick right now.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I've been trying to tell you you're.
- 11:49Speaker 2: Not listening all right now.
- 11:50Speaker 1: Secondly, Adam Silver has entered the chat about our former
- 11:55Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio morning host who've got note ratings when
- 11:58Speaker 1: he worked here.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Steven A. Smith.
- 12:01Speaker 1: There was a back and forth with Lebron James, and
- 12:05Speaker 1: a reporter asked Adam Silver his thoughts, because God knows,
- 12:08Speaker 1: we want to hear what Adam Silver has to say.
- 12:11Speaker 2: That's called rock bottom.
- 12:13Speaker 1: And Silver said, sometimes it seems that in other sports
- 12:17Speaker 1: that I'm a fan of, the commissioner said. And then
- 12:20Speaker 1: when I watch the coverage, particularly around the games, the
- 12:25Speaker 1: NBA commissioner said, it seems to be more celebratory.
- 12:29Speaker 2: He said, seems to be more celebratory.
- 12:32Speaker 1: Close quote all right, So Adam Silver's complaints about the
- 12:36Speaker 1: lack of celebratory in quote, celebratory media coverage of the
- 12:42Speaker 1: NBA is blank. Again, Adam Silver's complaints about the lack
- 12:47Speaker 1: of celebratory media coverage of the NBA stars is blank.
- 12:52Speaker 2: So my word is misguided.
- 12:56Speaker 1: I know Adam Silver is from somewhere out in the cosmos,
- 12:59Speaker 1: but he is barking up the wrong tree here.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Read the room, mister commissioner.
- 13:04Speaker 1: The NBA media coverage, whether you like the NBA or not,
- 13:10Speaker 1: is the gold standard. It is considered by those in
- 13:13Speaker 1: professional sports, the crown jewel of competitive professional sports, the
- 13:19Speaker 1: industrial complex of American sport.
- 13:22Speaker 2: NBA media coverage is at the very top.
- 13:25Speaker 1: Everyone else is jealous of the NBA media coverage because
- 13:31Speaker 1: the NBA product is terrible.
- 13:33Speaker 2: And yet every TV.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Show and a lot of these radio shows like the
- 13:38Speaker 1: one you're listening to now talk about the NBA, and
- 13:41Speaker 1: they very rarely talk about games, they talk about the personalities,
- 13:46Speaker 1: and that is important, right, that rules the roost. They
- 13:51Speaker 1: don't do that about baseball players. In fact, rob Manfraud
- 13:55Speaker 1: the Commission of Major League Baseball has been so annoyed
- 13:58Speaker 1: he claimed by the lack of daily gossipy baseball coverage
- 14:05Speaker 1: that that was one of the factors they claimed for
- 14:09Speaker 1: opting out of the ESPN deal making other arrangements which
- 14:16Speaker 1: they haven't even made yet. You talk about wanting someone
- 14:20Speaker 1: to blow smoke, that would be that. Now, while the
- 14:24Speaker 1: volume is certainly higher in the NBA, nobody, nobody is
- 14:31Speaker 1: getting celebratory coverage. I have no idea what Adam Silver
- 14:36Speaker 1: is talking about. And the reason no one's getting celebratory
- 14:39Speaker 1: coverage is because it's a cruise. It's a snooze cruise.
- 14:44Speaker 1: It doesn't draw an audience. It's narrow casting, not broadcasting.
- 14:50Speaker 1: People are addicted to negative stories, human drama, conflict.
- 14:58Speaker 2: That is what the consumer wants.
- 15:00Speaker 1: And you say you don't and you say, oh, I
- 15:03Speaker 1: don't like that, blah blah. But yet the reason you
- 15:08Speaker 1: get to serve that is because you do like people
- 15:10Speaker 1: are addicted to those type of stories. There's something that
- 15:15Speaker 1: is primal about human nature. It goes back to the
- 15:20Speaker 1: days we lived in oceans, right, and the conflict, the chaos,
- 15:25Speaker 1: the bad vibrations, like moth to a flame. For example,
- 15:31Speaker 1: I'll give you two headlines. Headline number one, Everything is fine.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Headline number two, Sky is falling. Here's a video clip.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Which one are you clicking?
- 15:45Speaker 2: Yeah? I know which one you're clicking? All right?
- 15:46Speaker 1: Final thought Quickly seventy six or GM. Darryl Moury speaking
- 15:53Speaker 1: at a Have the Nerds Ruin Basketball Conference at the
- 15:59Speaker 1: Sloan get Together in Boston. This is where all the
- 16:02Speaker 1: nerds get together and it's like nerd porn, and they
- 16:05Speaker 1: talk about ways to ruin sports. At the Sloan Conference,
- 16:08Speaker 1: they say, how can we screw up sports? So Darryl Mory,
- 16:12Speaker 1: he was considered a founding father of the Sloan geeked them.
- 16:19Speaker 1: He spoke at the conference, Have the Nerds Ruined Basketball?
- 16:22Speaker 1: And he dropped a hum dinger, a humdinger of a quote.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Darryl Mory ranted about the changing landscape in the NBA.
- 16:32Speaker 1: He said, quote the three pointer was added many years ago,
- 16:36Speaker 1: and it's worth fifty percent more than other shots the
- 16:41Speaker 1: six ers, GM asserted. He then pumped his chest out
- 16:44Speaker 1: and said that's simply too much. It essentially breaks the game.
- 16:49Speaker 1: He said, if the best players in the NBA are
- 16:52Speaker 1: taking wide open eight to fifteen foot shots, is worse
- 16:59Speaker 1: than heavily can tested off the dribble three balls.
- 17:03Speaker 2: That is bad for the game. Darryl Moury announced, quote.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Continues, and I think it's the responsibility of the league
- 17:14Speaker 1: office to take a look at this because teams are
- 17:18Speaker 1: just going to optimize post quote. Okay, so quickly seventy
- 17:23Speaker 1: six Ers executive Daryl Morey, longtime NBA executive, saying the
- 17:27Speaker 1: amount of free point shooting is essentially breaking the game.
- 17:31Speaker 2: How does that hit you? So it hits me like
- 17:35Speaker 2: a lab league?
- 17:36Speaker 1: Is this not doctor Frankenstein, Doctor Henry Frankenstein, brilliant but
- 17:42Speaker 1: obsessed science dude who creates a monster in his laboratory,
- 17:48Speaker 1: assembles the body, bringing it to life with different parts
- 17:52Speaker 1: and using electricity, and then things spiral out of control
- 17:56Speaker 1: because the creature turns out to be unpredictable, destructive, escaping
- 18:02Speaker 1: the lab and wrecking havoc on the n B A.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Come on, it's the basketball horror story.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Never forget you talk about HUTZBA Darryl Moury teaming up
- 18:16Speaker 1: with Mike D'Antoni and the Rockets. Everyone talks about Steph
- 18:20Speaker 1: Curry and Golden State with the Splash Brothers Klay Thompson,
- 18:25Speaker 1: but the Rockets with James Harden as the Star, but
- 18:28Speaker 1: Daryl Morey as the GM Mike D'Antoni, they were pioneers
- 18:34Speaker 1: of the three point shot early on. And now Mike
- 18:37Speaker 1: d'antoni's like, well, or Daryl Morey is like, well, we
- 18:40Speaker 1: got to do something about the league should do something
- 18:42Speaker 1: about this. Really, well, isn't that convenient? It is the
- 18:48Speaker 1: Ben Mahler Show, which is also convenient, And if you'd
- 18:53Speaker 1: like to be part of this, you can join us

- 23:00Speaker 1: a certain type of Japanese doll, Ham warmers from King Rory.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Who else you have?
- 23:06Speaker 1: I forty Ian says an authentic Otani betting slip is
- 23:12Speaker 1: the answer.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Fudgie says sushi.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Who else do we have something to do with? Godzilla?
- 23:19Speaker 1: Godzilla's gizzard from jess End Junction JT the Wingman says,
- 23:25Speaker 1: A shopping cart on the loose bang cherry blossoms from

- 23:45Speaker 2: Who else you have?
- 23:46Speaker 1: Nature Boy answering the call to the whild says the
- 23:49Speaker 1: answer is it transforms into a defeated lebron That that
- 23:54Speaker 1: is the answer. Terry in England says, is it choke
- 24:00Speaker 1: hawk Tua by a podcaster?
- 24:05Speaker 2: Well, okay?
- 24:06Speaker 1: Pokemon cards from clam or Agami figure of hollering James
- 24:11Speaker 1: from Rob in Minnesota. Scrooge in the Bay Area says
- 24:17Speaker 1: delicious chow man is the answer.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Trucker Joe from the Highways and Byways.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Of North America says turns water into wine, water into wine.
- 24:28Speaker 1: And Mike the leprechaun who's usually number two uh says,
- 24:34Speaker 1: transforms into golden tickets. All right, now for the big
- 24:39Speaker 1: reveal to the malar riddle of the day. A Japanese
- 24:43Speaker 1: newspaper company publishing newspaper ads that transform into the answer.
- 24:51Speaker 1: Baseball equipment is the answer. Baseball equipment and normally we'd
- 24:57Speaker 1: hear the fanfare, and that's what we normally.
- 24:58Speaker 2: We don't hear it normally now apparently not today. There
- 25:02Speaker 2: is okay, a little late, all right, why not? What
- 25:04Speaker 2: the hell? It must be a satellite hookup delay. That
- 25:10Speaker 2: must be the problem. Must be a satellite hook up.
- 25:12Speaker 1: So it turns out that the newspaper a couple ads
- 25:16Speaker 1: and people watching baseball, of course very popular in Japan.
- 25:19Speaker 1: Twenty five million people watch the Dodgers and Cubs in
- 25:22Speaker 1: Japan and about seven watched.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Here in the States. And so you read the newspaper
- 25:28Speaker 2: and there's two things here, two things that it does.
- 25:32Speaker 1: You can then roll up the newspaper ad when you're finished,
- 25:37Speaker 1: and it'll turn into a bat And then there's another
- 25:41Speaker 1: ad and it describes that you can roll this into
- 25:45Speaker 1: a ball. And so with those two advertisements you have
- 25:49Speaker 1: the worst ever bat ball combination in the history of baseball.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Just just absolutely terrible, just absolutely terrible.
- 26:00Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Let's sallo to any medie miney mo uh. Let's go
- 26:05Speaker 1: to lakeem in Orlando.

- 26:26Speaker 2: You know what, Steve? You don't like Steven A.
- 26:29Speaker 4: No, No, I'm being objective. Nothing he said is objective.
- 26:35Speaker 2: And yeah, Wobe.
- 26:37Speaker 4: Bryant is my god? What len should be the goad
- 26:41Speaker 4: to longevity? And Michael john and quit twice and.
- 26:47Speaker 2: He didn't he didn't really fok twice.
- 26:49Speaker 1: I mean he got suspended for gambling and he had
- 26:50Speaker 1: to play baseball in Birmingham.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Oh, Ben, that's.
- 26:54Speaker 4: He's going to ask use on that.
- 26:56Speaker 2: That's really I think.
- 26:57Speaker 4: I think that's you know, Ben Mala, I saw Kawhi
- 27:01Speaker 4: Leonard in McDonald's.
- 27:03Speaker 2: He would oh yeah, you know.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Now, now I hope stephen A comes over there and
- 27:11Speaker 1: punches you.
- 27:12Speaker 2: How about that? I hope he comes.
- 27:14Speaker 4: Did you see did you see his form? Let's right? Like,
- 27:21Speaker 4: try let.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Me tell you about stephen A.
- 27:23Speaker 1: I He used to work here right back in the
- 27:26Speaker 1: day and I I ran into stephen A.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Smith.
- 27:29Speaker 1: Was it last year at Rob Parker's birthday party in Vegas?
- 27:33Speaker 2: I think it was he showed up late? Stephen A.
- 27:36Speaker 2: You want to take a guess, And he showed he had.
- 27:38Speaker 2: He had, he had an entourage. He had not.
- 27:42Speaker 1: One, but two armed bodyguards with him. Now if a guy,
- 27:48Speaker 1: if a guy is a good boxer, do they need
- 27:50Speaker 1: two armed bodyguards with him? I mean, come on, what
- 27:53Speaker 1: is he the president of the United States? My god?
- 27:58Speaker 4: What I think, Stephen Smith? Think of the cheetahs?
- 28:01Speaker 1: All right, now you're coming around on me.
- 28:07Speaker 2: But you didn't need to take a cheap shot Atkawhi Leonard.
- 28:10Speaker 2: That was uncalled for that.
- 28:11Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, that's one of your favorite records.
- 28:13Speaker 2: You love your clipoffs.
- 28:15Speaker 4: But what clip was done?
- 28:18Speaker 2: And they made the final four a couple of years ago.
- 28:21Speaker 1: They have more championships getting to the final four than
- 28:25Speaker 1: the Lakers recently.
- 28:26Speaker 5: So more championships getting to the final four.
- 28:32Speaker 2: Celebrate who probably woke? It took two and a half hours.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Yet what I great?
- 28:40Speaker 4: But he's not a really great coach? Left Tony Parker managed.
- 28:45Speaker 2: Norbally what well?
- 28:48Speaker 1: But then then no coach is good because no one
- 28:50Speaker 1: ever wins without good players. All right, I gotta go
- 28:51Speaker 1: with the keeam, But thank you.
- 28:52Speaker 2: There you go. The team pouring it on there.
- 28:54Speaker 5: And by the way, I haven't said anything because there's
- 28:56Speaker 5: nothing to say. There's no defending. I've been on point
- 29:00Speaker 5: yeah for once.
- 29:01Speaker 2: You're You're right.
- 29:02Speaker 5: Lebron completely blew that game.
- 29:05Speaker 2: It was awesome, wasn't it great? The inbounds pass? You
- 29:09Speaker 2: know what?
- 29:09Speaker 1: It reminded me of I'm gonna date myself. But there
- 29:11Speaker 1: was a player on the Clippers years ago named but
- 29:12Speaker 1: Nooight Benjamin and he used to do that same thing,
- 29:14Speaker 1: that lazy inbounds pass and oh, like.
- 29:17Speaker 2: Lebron, what are you doing?
- 29:18Speaker 1: Like, I'm not gonna even fault him for the first
- 29:20Speaker 1: three point shot, but after that, oh my god. Let's
- 29:24Speaker 1: go to Mike in southern California hanging out west of
- 29:28Speaker 1: the four h five there in the South Bay and
- 29:30Speaker 1: Manhattan Beach.
- 29:31Speaker 2: What's going on, Mike? Welcome, tib Meller man.
- 29:35Speaker 6: You Clipper fans just get off on the Laman's things. Hey,
- 29:39Speaker 6: give it to the bulls, that giddy you have Lebron
- 29:42Speaker 6: a couple of letdowns there, and Getty made an incredible
- 29:44Speaker 6: shot to win it. A you win something you lose
- 29:46Speaker 6: on Lebron made the incredible play last night to win
- 29:48Speaker 6: a tipping, and tonight day they went.
- 29:50Speaker 1: To bulls Way.
- 29:51Speaker 6: But here's the bottom line. Lakers are ramdling into portrait form.
- 29:55Speaker 6: Lebron's back, Luca's starting to get a little more comfortable,
- 29:58Speaker 6: Austin Reeves is playing the lead. Finally got Vanderbilt back,
- 30:02Speaker 6: and now the guys are really round in the form. Meanwhile,
- 30:04Speaker 6: your Clippers playing good ball. Give them some credit, hard
- 30:06Speaker 6: and actually showing up in the regular season. We know
- 30:09Speaker 6: that's gonna change in the playoffs when he chokes Kawhi Leonard.
- 30:12Speaker 6: Surprisingly he's playing games. But here's the bottom line. You
- 30:14Speaker 6: guys are gonna be out in the first round. You're
- 30:17Speaker 6: gonna get dismantled. You're probably gonna play Denver, it looks
- 30:20Speaker 6: like in the first round, and that's gonna be a
- 30:22Speaker 6: terrible match for y'all. Meanwhile, the Lakers are on the
- 30:24Speaker 6: perfect spot, stay in the fourth seat. What they get
- 30:28Speaker 6: they played Memphis.
- 30:29Speaker 1: The good thing about this is you you don't don't
- 30:32Speaker 1: You don't actually believe anything. You don't believe anything you're saying.
- 30:35Speaker 1: The Lakers are falling apart. Everyone's laughing at the Lakers
- 30:38Speaker 1: right now. You are delusional, You are detached from reality.
- 30:41Speaker 1: Because you're see no evil, hear no evil speaking no evil? You,
- 30:45Speaker 1: I mean this must be are you?
- 30:46Speaker 2: Are you?
- 30:47Speaker 6: Like?
- 30:47Speaker 2: Is this a fake phone call? Is this a phony
- 30:48Speaker 2: phone call?
- 30:49Speaker 6: Like?
- 30:50Speaker 2: This must be a fake phone just got swept, gonna
- 30:53Speaker 2: play the Chicago Bulls?
- 30:56Speaker 6: Hey?
- 30:56Speaker 1: You got the Chicago Bulls. Hey, And you're calling a
- 31:00Speaker 1: radio show to say the Lakers are doing great.
- 31:03Speaker 6: It's a different, different ball game when you got to
- 31:05Speaker 6: deal with the Lakers in a playoff series and we
- 31:07Speaker 6: know Lebron really ramps it up.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Lucas, Yeah, Luca, of course he's lost multiple times, multiple
- 31:12Speaker 1: times and the Clippers in the playoffs, Luka, doncake, I mean,
- 31:15Speaker 1: he's a great playoff.
- 31:16Speaker 6: Perform No waiting now, okay, season, they don't fear, Okay,
- 31:19Speaker 6: see anybody outside, Why.
- 31:22Speaker 2: Would anyone fear?
- 31:23Speaker 1: Why would anybody the Lakers get afraid when they can't
- 31:25Speaker 1: beat the Chicago Bulls for God's sakes.
- 31:27Speaker 6: Meanwhile, your Clippers are going to be one and done
- 31:29Speaker 6: once again. And you, meanwhile, you.
- 31:32Speaker 2: Could not be more wrong. You couldn't, You could not
- 31:35Speaker 2: be more wrong.
- 31:35Speaker 6: He's spot on, and he's about to win the m
- 31:37Speaker 6: v P. She is gonna win the m v P.
- 31:39Speaker 6: And you guys have nothing to show up for that
- 31:41Speaker 6: Smith Kawhi nothing but stealing money from you guys for
- 31:45Speaker 6: for five years now. He's done absolutely.
- 31:46Speaker 4: Nothing for you.
- 31:47Speaker 6: Meanwhile, the Lakers are rolling. They got the best franchise future.
- 31:51Speaker 2: Again you keep saying the Lakers are rolling. I like
- 31:53Speaker 2: this guy. I like this guy. You're you got a
- 31:57Speaker 2: golden ticket, Mike, you don't get it.
- 31:59Speaker 6: Only compliment give the Clippers is they have a nice
- 32:01Speaker 6: arena into a spectacular that's.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Lakers play on skid row, which we all know, but
- 32:08Speaker 1: that is that is the wild. How about you take
- 32:12Speaker 1: a breath.
- 32:12Speaker 2: I'm done with you. You won't stop hanging up with
- 32:14Speaker 2: that guy. I'm done with that guy.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Here's the thing though, Like this is what I'm talking about.
- 32:18Speaker 1: The historians, these these people, it's a it's a sub breed.
- 32:21Speaker 1: They're like lizard people. Uh So, the Lakers have now lost.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Let me do the math on this. They've lost four
- 32:27Speaker 2: or five.
- 32:28Speaker 1: They lost to the Orlando Magic, the Chicago Bulls twice,
- 32:32Speaker 1: barely beat the Indiana Pacers, not a not a great team. Also,
- 32:36Speaker 1: within the last about ten days, they lost to the
- 32:39Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, the Brooklyn Nets.
- 32:43Speaker 2: They've had multiple.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Three game or better losing streaks over the last two weeks.
- 32:50Speaker 1: The team's falling apart. They're not playing any defense. And
- 32:52Speaker 1: that guy is mister sunshine over there, mister everything's great.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Nothing to see here, my guy, all right, thank you
- 33:01Speaker 1: for that? Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
