2:54
Speaker 3: here we go. So we begin this hour with pro
2:57
Speaker 3: Bouncy Buy. Now we will get in a moment. We
3:00
Speaker 3: will work our way back to the NBA Finals. There's
3:03
Speaker 3: something we did not address earlier.
3:06
Speaker 1: We'll get to.
3:06
Speaker 3: However, we begin with this our lead from Oklahoma City.
3:11
Speaker 3: Now the thunder from down Under. They're like, well, wait
3:15
Speaker 3: a minute, we're gonna be right there. We're gonna be
3:17
Speaker 3: the mix of this. And they thought they would be
3:19
Speaker 3: in the NBA Finals. Obviously they weren't, and we san
3:22
Speaker 3: Antonio was the GM though Sam Presty at the end
3:24
Speaker 3: of season exit, we sucked.
3:27
Speaker 1: We didn't win.
3:27
Speaker 3: News conference thing, Sam Presty strongly defended Shaye Jjogis Alexander,
3:36
Speaker 3: and he defended him against what was described as online
3:41
Speaker 3: criticism and also old school media criticism, but mostly online,
3:47
Speaker 3: the narrative that he is a foul merchant draws fouls
3:52
Speaker 3: and so this was the theme of the end of
3:54
Speaker 3: season news conference. Now, I don't know if you heard
3:58
Speaker 3: it or not, perhaps not. Presty said, quote, SGA is
4:02
Speaker 3: playing against six people. He's got five defenders, and the
4:06
Speaker 3: sixth defender is social media. So that is a good
4:11
Speaker 3: jumping off point. Let us discuss the question where did
4:16
Speaker 3: the Thunder General manager Sam Presty's rant about social media
4:21
Speaker 3: in his defense of SGA and saying, well, they're attacking SGA,
4:26
Speaker 3: they're defending him. It's six defenders against SGA because of
4:30
Speaker 3: social media.
4:31
Speaker 1: Where did all this land with you?
4:34
Speaker 3: So I've got King Cobra, common denominator and baptized and
4:40
Speaker 3: we will combine all of these things together and we
4:45
Speaker 3: are going to have a wonderful time with the checkered flag.
4:50
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with the checkered flag.
4:52
Speaker 3: So first of all, this landed like a giant yawn
4:59
Speaker 3: and a stretch anything.
5:01
Speaker 1: You wake up your yawn.
5:02
Speaker 3: And then you stretch your arms out. You're like, all right,
5:04
Speaker 3: I'm starting the day. Make sure my arms move. I'm
5:07
Speaker 3: doing that. There we go, all right. So the Thunder
5:09
Speaker 3: general manager, what he is doing here is he's got
5:13
Speaker 3: a deck and he's playing the victim cards from the
5:17
Speaker 3: bottom of the deck. The bottom of the deck a shister.
5:21
Speaker 3: He's acting like Shay is suffering in the dust bowl.
5:25
Speaker 3: The media is out to get him. Social media is
5:28
Speaker 3: out to get him like he's battling the tabloids back
5:33
Speaker 3: in the old days in New York. And unfortunately he's
5:37
Speaker 3: in TV market SGA is in TV market number forty five.
5:41
Speaker 3: Not exactly the Big Apple. Not exactly the Big Apple. Now,
5:44
Speaker 3: Oklahoma City is not the center of the basketball universe.
5:49
Speaker 3: Even when they won the championship, they were not. The
5:52
Speaker 3: noise in comparison is a gentle breeze. That's what is
5:56
Speaker 3: a gentle breeze. Now that the idea, the concept that
6:01
Speaker 3: somehow the victim, because everyone loves playing a victim, right,
6:04
Speaker 3: Everyone wants to claim that.
6:06
Speaker 1: You were mean to me, I'm a victim. That's how
6:10
Speaker 1: they do. That's how they sound too.
6:11
Speaker 3: They have this very weird voices, a cartoonish voice, and
6:14
Speaker 3: I was not raised that way. And you have to
6:17
Speaker 3: get some criticism, that's part of the deal. And I
6:20
Speaker 3: find it adorable. And we're supposed to feel bad for Strea.
6:25
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's being held back winning multiple MVP awards.
6:29
Speaker 3: He's fighting for his life. Unless he's not fighting for
6:32
Speaker 3: his life. And this great oppression is x Twitter. That's
6:37
Speaker 3: the oppression there. I think we all kind of understand
6:41
Speaker 3: as humans. If you come across a king cobra or
6:46
Speaker 3: a black mamba. You don't stop and try to pet it.
6:51
Speaker 3: If it's a problem, you don't stop and try to
6:53
Speaker 3: pet it.
6:54
Speaker 1: You don't. So the message is the same message we
6:58
Speaker 1: always have. If you can't handle the noise, you just
7:01
Speaker 1: log off, you delete the apps, and boom goes to dynamite.
7:06
Speaker 3: The problem is solved. A revolutionary concept. Nobody else is
7:10
Speaker 3: smart enough to come up with this concept. People are mean, okay,
7:15
Speaker 3: then just don't look. Who cares? It's you don't have
7:19
Speaker 3: to partake. It is possible to not partake. There's a
7:23
Speaker 3: whole big world. I did enjoy during the NBA Finals.
7:25
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw the commercial. They had a
7:27
Speaker 3: commercial encouraging people to go outside and live their lives,
7:31
Speaker 3: and you know, this whole thing about how people used
7:33
Speaker 3: to live without social media.
7:35
Speaker 1: And then it was for Pinterest, which I believe is
7:39
Speaker 1: a social Is that not a social media platform? All right?
7:43
Speaker 3: I thought, I thought, well, that's a great I didn't
7:45
Speaker 3: know what I didn't know what it was for. I
7:47
Speaker 3: was like, well, that's a really good commercial. And then
7:48
Speaker 3: I saw at the end of it, like, oh, holy crap,
7:51
Speaker 3: they just want you to get off X and Instagram
7:54
Speaker 3: and TikTok.
7:55
Speaker 1: And go to go to Pinterest is what they want.
7:57
Speaker 3: I was like, okay, by some spots here, I think
8:01
Speaker 3: our audience the boys love Pinterest, right, No they don't.
8:04
Speaker 3: Not a big crossover. That's more for the ladies. Okay,
8:07
Speaker 3: I got you. Anyway, listen. So Sam Presty, you know,
8:11
Speaker 3: he's spinning stats like it's a draidal. He came up
8:15
Speaker 3: with his stats saying that Shay Drew I think he
8:19
Speaker 3: said four hundred and fifteen fouls and only four were overturned.
8:23
Speaker 3: And so he said, well, I see the calls were
8:25
Speaker 3: right and only four were overturned and all that. Unfortunately,
8:29
Speaker 3: the problem that Sam Presty has is social media has
8:32
Speaker 3: their own receipts and they show a lot of clips
8:37
Speaker 3: online of him being a foul baiter. I'm sure I
8:41
Speaker 3: said that, probably a foul baiter, and that is an
8:45
Speaker 3: accurate observation.
8:47
Speaker 1: That is an art form that is shamed on. It
8:52
Speaker 1: is you look down upon when you do that. It's
8:56
Speaker 1: not harassment, though there's no harassment here Presty. You're supposed
9:01
Speaker 1: to stand by your man, defend your superstar, and he's
9:04
Speaker 1: trying to build a moat with crocodiles around around his player.
9:10
Speaker 4: All right.
9:10
Speaker 3: Now, Secondly, we go to New York where Tracy Morgan
9:14
Speaker 3: is feeding the content machine. Yep, that guy, Tracy Moore.
9:17
Speaker 3: He's still around a big Knicks fan. He didn't barfit
9:20
Speaker 3: the garden, right, there was no over. I remember during
9:23
Speaker 3: the season he puked. Remember that, yeah, big Knicks fan there.
9:27
Speaker 3: He was out hanging out, the hanging out with all
9:29
Speaker 3: the one percenters. Now, he recently said that Lebron James
9:32
Speaker 3: could not handle playing in New York because the lights
9:37
Speaker 3: are too bright and quote we too rowdy, meaning the
9:41
Speaker 3: Knicks fans. So I don't know if you saw it now,
9:44
Speaker 3: a diehard Nick apologist, Tracy Morgan made the comments. He
9:50
Speaker 3: made the comments while hyping up the atmosphere at Madison
9:54
Speaker 3: Square guard. He says, New York, that's why Lebron can't
9:58
Speaker 3: play here. He said, because the the light's too bright,
10:01
Speaker 3: we too rowdy. Okay, question, do you think Lebron James
10:06
Speaker 3: avoided the Knicks because the quote Tracy Morgan, the lights
10:11
Speaker 3: are too bright?
10:13
Speaker 1: Act to Mecca.
10:15
Speaker 3: So listen, this is I know he's just joking around,
10:18
Speaker 3: and I'm shaking my head. No, no, Tracy Morgan, believe
10:25
Speaker 3: it or not, has me? I guess defending Lebron is
10:27
Speaker 3: that what I'm doing. I'm defending Lebron James. I don't
10:29
Speaker 3: want to defend Lebron Jibs. Why am I defending Lebron Jim?
10:32
Speaker 3: It's proper like? How dare you? Tracy Morgan? That take
10:36
Speaker 3: was so bad?
10:37
Speaker 5: How bad?
10:38
Speaker 4: Was it?
10:39
Speaker 6: So?
10:39
Speaker 4: Going?
10:40
Speaker 3: Right to take jail? Right to hot take jail? And
10:43
Speaker 3: if you want to know what jail's like, ask for adult.
10:46
Speaker 3: He's been there. He's been there. So it's not the
10:50
Speaker 3: Knick supporters, obviously, And I would argue Laker fans and
10:54
Speaker 3: Nick fans are equally annoying in a different way. The
11:00
Speaker 3: like her historians love to tell you about the glory
11:02
Speaker 3: days and all that. Of course they have one since Kobe,
11:05
Speaker 3: and then the Nick fans. They haven't won since cable television.
11:09
Speaker 3: People were using rotary phones last time, the next one,
11:12
Speaker 3: and yet they want you to know how great they
11:14
Speaker 3: are and all that. Historically, Lebron has dominated at Madison
11:20
Speaker 3: Square Garden. In fact, he has treated it like his
11:23
Speaker 3: personal Airbnb when he's gone in there with these different
11:25
Speaker 3: teams as a twenty three to nine record, So that's
11:29
Speaker 3: a seven seventy one percent winning percentage. If the lights
11:33
Speaker 3: were too bright, you most likely that I'm gonna go
11:36
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have that record. I'm gonna go out and
11:38
Speaker 3: limbs that you would not have that record. Now, the truth,
11:41
Speaker 3: and we are in pursuit of the truth. The truth
11:44
Speaker 3: is Lebron does not pick teams based on the normal criteria.
11:49
Speaker 3: He picks amenities. Lebron's a big amenity guy. He likes
11:55
Speaker 3: the bells and whistles. He's all about that. And he's
11:58
Speaker 3: always chased the easy road with creature comforts, and sometimes
12:05
Speaker 3: he goes a little more towards the creature comforts than
12:07
Speaker 3: the easy road. He loves when you can get both.
12:09
Speaker 3: That's the sweet spot. You want to get both, that
12:11
Speaker 3: would be the way to do it. Every franchise he's joined,
12:13
Speaker 3: if you look at the life and times of Lebron James,
12:16
Speaker 3: every team that Lebron has joined has rolled out the
12:20
Speaker 3: red carpet and vacuumed it twice for Lebron. Pat Riley
12:26
Speaker 3: right in Miami, they brought in they already had Dwayne Wade,
12:29
Speaker 3: they brought in Chris Bosh and all that, and they
12:32
Speaker 3: looked out for Lebron, and then Riley got upset. And
12:36
Speaker 3: when that stopped, and Riley became a bit of a
12:38
Speaker 3: douche and didn't treat Lebron and kiss his ass all
12:41
Speaker 3: the time, what did Lebron do? He skid daddled out
12:44
Speaker 3: of Miami and ran back to Ohio so the Calves
12:47
Speaker 3: could kiss his ass. And that would go on. And
12:50
Speaker 3: he never chose New York not because of the Nick fans.
12:55
Speaker 3: It was because of James Dolan that I believe. That's
12:59
Speaker 3: why if twenty ten, way back in twenty ten, twenty eleven,
13:04
Speaker 3: that period of time, the Knicks, they had an opportunity
13:07
Speaker 3: that meetings with Lebron, and then at one point the
13:10
Speaker 3: favorite was the Knicks for Lebron, and they did this
13:13
Speaker 3: like weird Sopranos thing. The Sopranos were a popular show
13:16
Speaker 3: back then. This thing on HBO's Mob Show. They did
13:19
Speaker 3: a video that supposed he didn't go well. Then in
13:22
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, he had an opportunity to go to the Knicks,
13:25
Speaker 3: and he chose the Knicks were terrible. He chose to
13:27
Speaker 3: go to the Lakers because he wanted to hang out
13:30
Speaker 3: with a bunch of Hollywood losers, and so that's what
13:33
Speaker 3: he did. The common denominator though, and Lebron met with
13:36
Speaker 3: the Knicks twice in twenty ten, twenty eleven, twenty eighteen.
13:40
Speaker 3: The common denominator is James Dole. That's it, like he's
13:46
Speaker 3: he's got that Lebron bugspray and refused to give Lebron
13:51
Speaker 3: all the trimming. So Lebron said, I'm good, I'm out
13:55
Speaker 3: of here. I never been the mecca of management. It's yeah,
14:02
Speaker 3: So there you go, all right, it is the Bedmas Show.
14:04
Speaker 7: Now.
14:04
Speaker 3: The final thought was speaking of New York, the very
14:07
Speaker 3: rowdy fans at MSG for the finals game, as you
14:11
Speaker 3: might imagine, even though they are the one percenters, the
14:16
Speaker 3: cheapest ticket to get I guess the upper row in
14:20
Speaker 3: the very back at Massive Square Garden you get a
14:22
Speaker 3: ticket for five thousand for five thousand. So anyway, the
14:27
Speaker 3: game last night there was rhythmic chanting. Now, we would
14:30
Speaker 3: like to play the rhythmic chant on the air. Unfortunately
14:32
Speaker 3: we are told we cannot play it due to guidelines
14:36
Speaker 3: from the federal government. The chant was f you Wemby,
14:43
Speaker 3: F you Webby, F you Webb.
14:47
Speaker 1: They didn't say, just f I don't know. They said fun.
14:51
Speaker 1: I think it was fun, fun you Wemby.
14:55
Speaker 7: No.
14:56
Speaker 3: So that happened during Game three. It happened late in
15:00
Speaker 3: the second quarter when Hello, Kenny, Karl Anthony Towns was
15:05
Speaker 3: at the foul line. The profane chant was loud. How
15:11
Speaker 3: loud was it? It was so loud that I heard
15:13
Speaker 3: it on my TV. He was on the ABC broadc tests.
15:15
Speaker 3: They tried to mute out some of the bad words.
15:17
Speaker 3: I noticed on my feed. There were some moments the
15:20
Speaker 3: audio went mute, which tells you there was some really
15:23
Speaker 3: dirty words that were being said. They're dirty, dirty, dirty,
15:25
Speaker 3: the dirty bird. So when asked after the game if
15:30
Speaker 3: being vilified was a compliment or not, Wemby had a
15:35
Speaker 3: zinger lined up in his back pocket. He said, quote,
15:38
Speaker 3: I guess I'm nowhere near Trey Young level.
15:41
Speaker 1: Though close. Quote little tip of the.
15:45
Speaker 3: Cap to Trey Young, who for two years two games
15:48
Speaker 3: was the villain at Madison Square Guarden that he had
15:52
Speaker 3: to have a game winning basket at the end of
15:54
Speaker 3: the game where he played very well.
15:55
Speaker 1: And then there's another moment there.
15:58
Speaker 3: Anyway, the point of all that, the question is how
16:01
Speaker 3: should Wemby feel about getting that profane rhythmic chanting treatment
16:06
Speaker 3: from the Nick fan Game.
16:08
Speaker 1: Three, and not just your regular Nick fan.
16:10
Speaker 3: These are the elite Nick fans, the ones that either
16:12
Speaker 3: have really wealthy friends or themselves are.
16:15
Speaker 1: Really really wealthy.
16:17
Speaker 3: So if Nick fans are chanting bad words at you,
16:22
Speaker 3: which is what happened in Game three of the finals,
16:24
Speaker 3: it's rather obviously your congratulations. Come on down. You have
16:27
Speaker 3: been baptized. You have been baptized Wemby, by the world's
16:31
Speaker 3: angriest church. They have baptized you, and Victor Wamba Yama
16:36
Speaker 3: should not be offended at all by the profane ranting
16:39
Speaker 3: and raving, the rhythmic chanting raining down from the upper
16:44
Speaker 3: upper levels of Madison Square Garden the rafters there.
16:47
Speaker 1: And it is an honor. I believe it truly is
16:49
Speaker 1: an honor.
16:50
Speaker 3: I love MSG gave him the f bomb symphony. It's
16:55
Speaker 3: like the New York pops just raining down. It's wonderful.
17:00
Speaker 1: It's like it's a Hall of Fame level moment.
17:04
Speaker 3: When you're doing that. And Wemby did not get rattled.
17:07
Speaker 3: He got a little serenade. It's a very nice thing
17:10
Speaker 3: to serenade him. You can feel the energy. Now, that
17:13
Speaker 3: was not just a chant. That was essentially the standing
17:16
Speaker 3: ovation in the New York dialect. There's the standing ovation there,
17:22
Speaker 3: F you WEMBYF you Wemby. Now in that city, they
17:28
Speaker 3: don't boo nobody's, they don't chant nobody's. There was mister October.
17:32
Speaker 3: Reggie Jackson famously said back in his day, in his
17:35
Speaker 3: salad days in New York, and there is this strange,
17:40
Speaker 3: beautiful I don't if you don't call it poetry or not.
17:43
Speaker 3: You've got a twenty two year old kid from France
17:46
Speaker 3: who looks like he's big bird and instantly becomes the
17:52
Speaker 3: villain of Manhattan because he's the biggest name obviously on
17:56
Speaker 3: the Spurs.
17:57
Speaker 1: And that's it.
17:57
Speaker 3: So Wemby again, I dont think he's upset. It shouldn't
18:00
Speaker 3: be upset, shouldn't be upset by this. In fact, I
18:03
Speaker 3: would recommend when this is over, if the Spurs do
18:05
Speaker 3: come back, and they should, they're the better team, he
18:08
Speaker 3: should send the garden a thank you card. And it's like, Hey,
18:12
Speaker 3: this is it. I thought I had arrived, but this
18:14
Speaker 3: is the moment, this is the moment I arrived. Eight
18:17
Speaker 3: seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine
18:23
Speaker 3: nine six six three six nine. If you'd like to
18:26
Speaker 3: be partying and join the calls also on X at

18:33

26:09
Speaker 6: man that called up that's not trying to hit on Lorena.
26:14
Speaker 6: Number two, my question for all three of y'all, are
26:19
Speaker 6: you a AC and the winter time person or a
26:23
Speaker 6: blanket and the summertime person.
26:26
Speaker 3: I'm AC year round. I like to be cold. I
26:31
Speaker 3: want to be frozen when I sleep, and so I
26:34
Speaker 3: like to be cool.
26:35
Speaker 1: I don't want to.
26:36
Speaker 3: Be hot, so I AC all the time, all the time, Lorena.
26:40
Speaker 1: I hate being frozen. I'm a blanket even if it's
26:43
Speaker 1: hot kind of girl.
26:45
Speaker 7: And if it's air conditioned inside, I will even have
26:47
Speaker 7: a jacket on, Like, do not mess.
26:49
Speaker 1: Up, all right, coop a acyar blanket?
26:55
Speaker 7: I like, I mean, I'm I'm cheap, so I don't
26:57
Speaker 7: really put on the AC very much, but I would
27:00
Speaker 7: if if if money was no object, I would have.
27:02
Speaker 1: It set to like sixty five. Well, I'm cheap. Also,
27:05
Speaker 1: what I got is a room air conditioner.
27:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, I'm on one of those about one of
27:10
Speaker 4: those as scene on TV, those arctic Arctic coolers where
27:14
Speaker 4: you just put the ice in the road. Trade is
27:16
Speaker 4: actually fan worse than ac.
27:20
Speaker 1: No, it didn't that work, Yeah it doesn't. It didn't
27:23
Speaker 1: look like yeah if it that.
27:25
Speaker 4: Was the worst buy. Billy May sold me on that
27:27
Speaker 4: years ago.
27:30
Speaker 1: Billy.
27:31
Speaker 8: Uh.
27:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, But anyways though, and then look, hey, part one
27:37
Speaker 4: of our dreams come true. It might actually come true.
27:40
Speaker 4: Then then what we said they didn't need the game
27:42
Speaker 4: three uh heroics from the Knicks, so we can go
27:46
Speaker 4: ahead and pull off this four game in a row
27:48
Speaker 4: win streak. You know that they're gonna do uh presumptively,
27:53
Speaker 4: We're gonna say presumptly. But no, all around, it was
27:56
Speaker 4: a classic game. Just didn't did not agree with what
27:59
Speaker 4: Mike Brown did. He had one of those system overload
28:03
Speaker 4: type of deals where he was looking on the flout
28:05
Speaker 4: Longe scratching his head like you I actually got to
28:08
Speaker 4: start a coach. I think Rick Brunson coaches that team. Honestly,
28:12
Speaker 4: I don't think Mike Brown. I think Mike Brown is
28:13
Speaker 4: just to face. You see more of Rick Brunson than
28:16
Speaker 4: you do with Mike Brown on the sideline or going
28:19
Speaker 4: to the well.
28:19
Speaker 1: But yeah, Rick Brunston does run out a lot and
28:22
Speaker 1: anything evolving his son, his son, obviously he's running over there.
28:25
Speaker 1: How about the people that bought tickets out of Game
28:27
Speaker 1: four thinking the Knicks we're gonna win and then win
28:29
Speaker 1: the championship. Did you see this the tickets as of
28:33
Speaker 1: like during the game, they were going for like twelve
28:37
Speaker 1: thousand dollars the minimum get in for Game four, And
28:40
Speaker 1: now that the Knicks lost on Monday, you can get
28:44
Speaker 1: in for a reasonable four thousand dollars.
28:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, and speak and what you said though, with the
28:50
Speaker 4: charity buying those two million dollar seats that nobody sat in,
28:54
Speaker 4: You're gonna let Chaul Oakland sit in wine those seats
28:56
Speaker 4: for crime?
28:56
Speaker 1: Well, no, he'd be arrested if he entered the arena,
28:58
Speaker 1: he'd be arrested.
29:00
Speaker 8: Do it.
29:01
Speaker 4: Listen, listen, listen. We got guys out here that are
