Speaker 1: We'll talk about that also, the very inconsistent forward Julius
0:39
Speaker 1: Randall has agreed to re sign with the Timberwolves on
0:43
Speaker 1: a three year, one hundred million dollar contract. Does this
0:47
Speaker 1: signing move the needle for you? And what stands out
0:51
Speaker 1: about DeAndre Ayton getting a buyout?
0:54
Speaker 2: He's going to hit the market.
0:55
Speaker 1: The Trailblazers are paying him to go away from Portland.

1:20
Speaker 1: kind of sticking around. Welcome, in the beginning of another
1:25
Speaker 1: week of the Ben Malor Show.
1:27
Speaker 3: We are in the air everywhere, birds of a feather,
1:33
Speaker 3: as we are where the nighttime sparks fly coast to coast,
1:38
Speaker 3: border to border and beyond on the vast and lavishly
1:43
Speaker 3: powerful microphones of fsr ammnating live from the operator station.
1:51
Speaker 1: We are smooth operators all night long from the Fox
1:54
Speaker 1: Sports Radio studios, as approved by mister Irrigation and this
1:59
Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made it possible,
2:02
Speaker 1: in part by our friends at tire i Raq. For
2:04
Speaker 1: over forty years, tire Iraq has been helping customers find
2:07
Speaker 1: the right tires for how, what and where they drive
2:10
Speaker 1: fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
2:14
Speaker 1: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq dot
2:20
Speaker 1: Com the way tire buying should be. We have survived
2:23
Speaker 1: another weekend and we have now made it to the
2:25
Speaker 1: brand new week Whoo. All right, so our lead there's
2:30
Speaker 1: a lot of like moving parts going on in We
2:33
Speaker 1: love transactions. I always love the transaction. Now I like
2:36
Speaker 1: the rumor. I like the rumor more than the transaction.
2:40
Speaker 1: I like what might happen rather than what has happened.
2:43
Speaker 1: Now that being said, we have a mix of what
2:47
Speaker 1: has happened and what is going to happen. But our
2:49
Speaker 1: lead this hour is from pro bouncy ball the Kingdom
2:53
Speaker 1: as it's the King James Kingdom of Basketball, filling the
2:58
Speaker 1: content machine, yet again, filling the content machine. So over
3:02
Speaker 1: the weekend, Lebron James decided that he wanted to stay
3:09
Speaker 1: with the Lakers kind of well, fifty million dollars, got
3:14
Speaker 1: fifty two point six million dollar player option, just to
3:19
Speaker 1: click that box right there, and you do the docu.
3:21
Speaker 2: Sign and then you're on your way.
3:23
Speaker 1: And so instead of signing a new MAX extension, Lebron
3:30
Speaker 1: decides to take the contract that he had signed in
3:34
Speaker 1: a previous deal. So we are told Lebron could have
3:37
Speaker 1: made an extra one point five million one point five
3:41
Speaker 1: million by signing the new MAX at thirty five percent
3:46
Speaker 1: of the cap and a lot of gibberish in that contract.
3:51
Speaker 1: Ad chose not to do that, and so Lebron gets
3:55
Speaker 1: one extra year. And then you have the commentary of
4:00
Speaker 1: Lebron James agent Rich Paul, his right hand man, his
4:07
Speaker 1: intermediary between the media and whatnot. Anyway, Rich Paul issued
4:10
Speaker 1: a clear statement if you saw this or not, maybe
4:14
Speaker 1: maybe he missed it. So I'll give you the highlights
4:16
Speaker 1: on this. I'm not gonna give you the whole thing.
4:17
Speaker 1: I'll give you the highlights. So Lebron wants to compete
4:20
Speaker 1: for a championship. Rich Paul snickered. He knows the Lakers
4:26
Speaker 1: are building for the future. Yes, yes, the Leakers are
4:29
Speaker 1: building for the taking for draft picks. Rich Paul continuous
4:35
Speaker 1: says Lebron understands that, but he values a realistic chance
4:40
Speaker 1: of winning it all. Rich Paul pumped his chest out
4:43
Speaker 1: and said, we meaning Rich Paul and Lebron, we do want,
4:50
Speaker 1: do want to evaluate what's best for Lebron at this
4:54
Speaker 1: stage in his life and career. He wants to make
4:57
Speaker 1: every season he has count close quote. So that is
5:03
Speaker 1: Rich Paul his commentary on the status of Lebron. So
5:08
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question for the Esteem panel. Can
5:11
Speaker 1: you please decode, decode the message from Rich Paul on Lebron,
5:18
Speaker 1: James and his future with the Lakers. So I've got prenup,
5:23
Speaker 1: home depot, and verdict, and we will combine all of
5:28
Speaker 1: these things together and we are gonna make the Gabba gool.
5:32
Speaker 1: We're gonna make the Gobba gool to start the week.
5:34
Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. So, first of all, look,
5:36
Speaker 1: King James, the opt in I liked that Lebron's camps
5:41
Speaker 1: trying to paint this as some kind of heroic act
5:44
Speaker 1: by Lebron that he could have gotten more money. You
5:46
Speaker 1: talk about hutzba, as my grandfather used to say, that's
5:49
Speaker 1: hootsba you guys getting fifty two point six million dollars
5:53
Speaker 1: and wants you to believe this is some kind of
5:55
Speaker 1: robin Hood situation. So that's my first thought on this
5:59
Speaker 1: as I decode ode the life and times of Lebron
6:02
Speaker 1: and Rich Paul. So the other thought, which is either obvious,
6:06
Speaker 1: I'm sure you thought the same thing. I don't know
6:08
Speaker 1: how you could have come to any conclusion. This is
6:10
Speaker 1: like a hostage note by Rich Pall. It's like, listen,
6:14
Speaker 1: it's disguised as some kind of news release or whatever,
6:17
Speaker 1: but it's a hostage letter by Rich Paul for Lebron.
6:22
Speaker 1: Gaym you build a contender for Lebron or else, which
6:26
Speaker 1: is code for it's never Lebron's fault. It's just the
6:30
Speaker 1: players around Lebron are not that good. That's what Rich
6:33
Speaker 1: Paul saying. Is like, listen, if we don't win, it's
6:35
Speaker 1: on you. If we win, it's Lebron. That's it.
6:38
Speaker 2: Period. Stop now or else.
6:42
Speaker 1: What else is there's Lebron gonna film another crappy space
6:45
Speaker 1: jam movie or something like that during the season.
6:47
Speaker 2: I don't know, Baby, we'll.
6:48
Speaker 1: Make another one, what the hell, and they'll do it
6:50
Speaker 1: during the season, and that'll be that.
6:52
Speaker 2: It'll be wonderful.
6:53
Speaker 1: Now, once again, we find ourselves in sports gas baggery land.
6:59
Speaker 1: You and I we find ourselves trapped in the never
7:02
Speaker 1: ending docu drama The Life and Times of Lebron James.
7:07
Speaker 1: The brand, Lebron, the brand, not the basketball player. Not no,
7:13
Speaker 1: it's really about the brand. It's all about the brand.
7:15
Speaker 1: That's what it's about. It's about the brand. Now, this
7:18
Speaker 1: is not so much a renewal of vowels, right, It's
7:21
Speaker 1: not like they're renewing their vows here the Lakers Lebron.
7:24
Speaker 1: This is a prenup agreed to buy Lebron and filed
7:29
Speaker 1: through the media. It's a leverage play. It's a leverage play,
7:33
Speaker 1: is what it is. And so for the Lakers, they
7:35
Speaker 1: must use every possible trade asset they have. I don't
7:38
Speaker 1: think they'ven a draft pick til like twenty fifty, but
7:40
Speaker 1: they got to trade those right and build a championship
7:43
Speaker 1: contender or else we're breaking up with you. We're gonna
7:47
Speaker 1: find it's not you, it's somebody else, and that's it.
7:50
Speaker 1: And a trade, of course, becomes far easier to facilitate
7:54
Speaker 1: based on the contract Lebron opted into. So he does
7:59
Speaker 1: clear the way for him to be traded somewhere else easier.
8:03
Speaker 1: Of course, if Lebron wants to be traded, he'll be traded.
8:05
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the contract is. They'll work it out.
8:08
Speaker 1: They'll finagle the rules to make sure Lebron goes where
8:11
Speaker 1: Lebron wants. The oh and so it's the classic play
8:16
Speaker 1: by Lebron James where you opt in with one hand
8:20
Speaker 1: and then keep your finger on the eject button with
8:24
Speaker 1: the other says I'm in, but I could could get
8:28
Speaker 1: out of here, see you later. Now. I don't believe
8:31
Speaker 1: Lebron wants to leave. He loves I'll tell you why.
8:34
Speaker 1: He loves everything that comes with being in Los Angeles,
8:38
Speaker 1: those Hollywood Knights, hanging out with all those Hollywood f's,
8:41
Speaker 1: those fake people in LA. He loves it right. He
8:44
Speaker 1: can't get enough of those people, that whole lifestyle. That's
8:47
Speaker 1: why Lebron came to LA. He didn't come to LA
8:49
Speaker 1: for basketball. He hasn't won as a Lake He's been
8:52
Speaker 1: an abject failure as a Laker. He came for Hollywood.
8:56
Speaker 1: Now business wise and entertainment, Lebron's done very well. That's
9:00
Speaker 1: why he came to Lakers. So in terms of winning,
9:02
Speaker 1: he's winning the Hollywood game entertainment now basketball. No, No,
9:08
Speaker 1: if you want to win, you don't go to the Lakers.
9:09
Speaker 1: Not now, not on her Genie boss as she's selling
9:13
Speaker 1: the team, but the team's been been terrible since she
9:16
Speaker 1: took control of the team. But it's all about Hollywood.
9:19
Speaker 1: If you look at Lebron's time with the Lakers, he
9:22
Speaker 1: has a fail rate of over seventy one percent. Seventy
9:27
Speaker 1: one percent of the time Lebron James has failed and
9:32
Speaker 1: there's no if, sands or.
9:33
Speaker 2: Butts about it.
9:34
Speaker 1: That's it.
9:35
Speaker 2: I'll get no pushback. You can't push back. That's a fact.
9:38
Speaker 1: It's a fact. Now, what's my math? How did I
9:40
Speaker 1: get to seventy one point four percent? That is the
9:42
Speaker 1: rate Lebron has either missed the playoffs. Lakers have missed
9:47
Speaker 1: the playss multiple times with Lebron James, or one and
9:50
Speaker 1: done bumped out of the playoffs in the first round and.
9:55
Speaker 2: Again, not my opinion.
9:57
Speaker 1: It's not I'm not giving some kind of opinion.
9:59
Speaker 2: This a fact. It is a fact.
10:02
Speaker 1: Seven seasons with the Lakers, the Lakers missed the playoffs twice.
10:05
Speaker 1: They got bumped in the first round three times Sons Nuggets,
10:09
Speaker 1: and then this past year by the Minnesota Tenwolves three
10:12
Speaker 1: times first round and out. And the Lakers have not
10:16
Speaker 1: won a championship that matters since Kobe Bryant. And Kobe's
10:21
Speaker 1: not walking back through that door. Okay, and that's not
10:25
Speaker 1: my adding commentary. I've now that has been validated. That
10:28
Speaker 1: is hot take validation. That take validated by Alex Caruso
10:33
Speaker 1: in a moment of clarity. He took some truths fromm
10:36
Speaker 1: called alcohol and he set the quiet part out loud.
10:39
Speaker 1: Alex Caruso said after Oklahoma City won, he said that
10:44
Speaker 1: that Mickey mouse bubble ring not a real one and
10:48
Speaker 1: that now he had a real one, which is what
10:50
Speaker 1: all of us knew all along, but somebody on the
10:52
Speaker 1: team finally had the balls to say it. So Lebron
10:56
Speaker 1: hasn't won as a Laker, and he's making some kind
10:59
Speaker 1: of them because again, it's not gonna be about Lebron,
11:01
Speaker 1: not being good enough, it's gonna be a bad well,
11:02
Speaker 1: the other players on the team. Weren't that good enough?
11:04
Speaker 2: You said.
11:05
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, to Minnesota, a team that beat the Lakers and
11:10
Speaker 1: lebron in the playoffs in the first round, and they
11:12
Speaker 1: have made a roster move. Although not official official, the
11:15
Speaker 1: teas must be crossed, the daw the eyes dotted. We're
11:19
Speaker 1: hearing now that Julius Randall, vagabond NBA player Julius Randall,
11:24
Speaker 1: has agreed to re sign with the Timber Puffs as
11:29
Speaker 1: he'll stay there in Minnesota three years, one hundred million dollars.
11:34
Speaker 1: Does that signing move the needle? Does that move the
11:37
Speaker 1: needle at all? So I'll answer this first because you're
11:40
Speaker 1: not here, so I'll go first. Does this move the needle? Sure,
11:44
Speaker 1: it moves the needle due south at least come May,
11:50
Speaker 1: when you get into the meat and potatoes of the playoffs,
11:52
Speaker 1: you move the needle south. So you know what to do,
11:55
Speaker 1: our guys in Minnesota. You buckle up, right, it's a
11:58
Speaker 1: roller coaster, you buck up.
12:00
Speaker 2: That's it.
12:01
Speaker 1: And of course, Julius Randall in many ways is your
12:05
Speaker 1: standard mid level star player in the NBA, where he's
12:11
Speaker 1: the roller coaster that breaks down right before the big
12:15
Speaker 1: drops similar to.
12:17
Speaker 2: This, and James Harden does the same thing. You go down.
12:20
Speaker 1: You know, there's plenty of players like that to just
12:22
Speaker 1: vanish in key moments. Karl Anthony Towns, who played in Minnesota,
12:26
Speaker 1: was traded for Jewish. Randall's another guy like that you
12:29
Speaker 1: can't depend on. And Julius Randall's got a blind spot,
12:32
Speaker 1: clearly not a blind spot that will cost him any money.
12:35
Speaker 1: One hundred million dollars over three years. I mean, my god,
12:41
Speaker 1: so so good for him. And he's like Randall's like
12:45
Speaker 1: Houdini with a headband because he's out there in the
12:49
Speaker 1: Abrica dabraajocus pocus and not a big game player, not
12:54
Speaker 1: a big game player. Now, during the regular season, there
12:57
Speaker 1: are nights that Randall looks like a world beater and
13:00
Speaker 1: he'll get you twenty five points and ten rebounds, no problem,
13:03
Speaker 1: and look like he can do it every game. Twenty
13:05
Speaker 1: five points, ten rebounds. He'll be physical, it'll be aggressive.
13:09
Speaker 1: During the regular season, all fine attributes, and at times
13:13
Speaker 1: he'll look unstoppable, and then the calendar will flip over
13:18
Speaker 1: to April and pressed down. Suddenly, what happens. He's serving
13:24
Speaker 1: up more bricks than the loading dock over at home depot.
13:29
Speaker 1: You get a brick, you get a brick, you get
13:31
Speaker 1: a break. Sometimes he didn't even make he didn't take
13:33
Speaker 1: many bricks because he doesn't shoot. He becomes passive two
13:37
Speaker 1: for eleven or one for eight or something like that.
13:39
Speaker 1: In the playoffs, and then the fourth quarter, forget about it.
13:43
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter, Come on, fourth quarter. You gotta
13:46
Speaker 1: leave early, beat the traffic. Normally, when you play for
13:48
Speaker 1: the team, you're not supposed to leave early to beat
13:50
Speaker 1: the traffic. But it happens. Those those demons they come back.
13:55
Speaker 1: They haunt you like Hayzan Minnesota haunt you. They just
13:57
Speaker 1: kind of haunch you.
13:59
Speaker 2: They do.
14:00
Speaker 1: And so good luck, good luck to ant Man. This
14:02
Speaker 1: is your running mate, this is your sidekick. Now Anthony
14:04
Speaker 1: Edwards has some issues too. I meant, there's some games
14:06
Speaker 1: I recall where he didn't didn't do much. So now
14:10
Speaker 1: they're together again, back to back final four appearances for
14:13
Speaker 1: the Timberwolves, and they are locking in Julius rand. All right, now,
14:18
Speaker 1: final thought. We go down to the Pacific Northwest, where
14:23
Speaker 1: the weather is good most of the time. Terms you
14:26
Speaker 1: like fresh air and all that stuff. And rain and sports.
14:30
Speaker 2: They sucked.
14:31
Speaker 1: Now there used to be two teams, actually, there used
14:33
Speaker 1: to be three teams at one point in the Pacific Northwest.
14:36
Speaker 1: Now there's only one. That's the Portland Trailblazers. Now, the Trailblazers,
14:39
Speaker 1: we learned over the weekend, planned to buy out, to
14:43
Speaker 1: spend millions of dollars to buy out center DeAndre Ayton. Here,
14:49
Speaker 1: he's about to hit the market. He'll go to the
14:51
Speaker 1: highest bidder in free agency. So what stands out? What
14:56
Speaker 1: stands out about the bitter end of DeAndre Ayton and
15:00
Speaker 1: him hitting the market here via a buyout from the Trailblazers.
15:04
Speaker 1: And there'll be a lot of talk in the coming
15:06
Speaker 1: days about teams fighting to get their hands on DeAndre
15:09
Speaker 1: eight and so the Trailblazers, the fact that they are
15:12
Speaker 1: paying him to go away like.
15:15
Speaker 2: That is a massive thing.
15:17
Speaker 1: I don't think you can undersell the fact that they're
15:19
Speaker 1: paying him to go away. Let that marinate for a moment.
15:22
Speaker 1: This guy was the number one overall pick in the
15:26
Speaker 1: NBA draft a number of years ago. They're not trading
15:30
Speaker 1: him for assets. They're not trading him for draft picks
15:34
Speaker 1: or some young up and coming players. They're not attaching
15:37
Speaker 1: him to a bad contract to get rid of the
15:40
Speaker 1: player and clear out the roster. They're not doing that.
15:44
Speaker 1: They're not trying to rehab his value. They've given up
15:47
Speaker 1: on that. No, no, no, Like all of those things
15:50
Speaker 1: are things that you would think teams would do a
15:52
Speaker 1: player like that has some value. Still, you'd say, Okay,
15:55
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to sugarcoat this, and we're gonna try
15:59
Speaker 1: to put some stories out there and make it seem
16:01
Speaker 1: like this guy's turned things around and all that stuff. No,
16:05
Speaker 1: they are at the point now they are cutting their losses.
16:08
Speaker 1: They're like, this guy blows there, she blows. We're better
16:11
Speaker 1: off without him. We are better off without Now. How
16:14
Speaker 1: did they come to that conclusion? How did Chauncey Billups
16:18
Speaker 1: and the team in Portland come to that decision? Because
16:22
Speaker 1: for all portlandt really want DeAndre Ayton. They got him
16:26
Speaker 1: in that it was that weird Damian Lillard multi team thing,
16:30
Speaker 1: and they moved everyone around and ate and became part
16:32
Speaker 1: of the trade and all that stuff. But he arrived
16:34
Speaker 1: when he arrived in Portland, just like when he arrived
16:36
Speaker 1: in Phoenix. He's got all the size and the athletic ability.
16:39
Speaker 1: He's got that pedigree to be a dominant big man
16:41
Speaker 1: and all that. And you saw some highlights on Instagram,
16:44
Speaker 1: You're like, wow, he looks good and all that stuff,
16:46
Speaker 1: and then you had to watch him play, and then
16:49
Speaker 1: you had to watch him play, and when the game started,
16:52
Speaker 1: the one word we all had watching DeAndre Ayton play
16:55
Speaker 1: was eh man, it was eh. You know, it's like
16:58
Speaker 1: whatever he put up some they were empty number stat
17:02
Speaker 1: bandto what do we always talking?
17:04
Speaker 2: We talked about Dak Prescott.
17:05
Speaker 1: We talked about some of his stat Bandito's where he
17:08
Speaker 1: has some double doubles, but they're empty double doubles. It's
17:11
Speaker 1: empty stat long rebounds, no one can test it, right.
17:14
Speaker 1: Things like that points when the game's already decided, either
17:17
Speaker 1: for or against your team, and so the numbers like, oh,
17:20
Speaker 1: you know, the low information fan, the dumb fancies that
17:23
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, this guy's pretty good, right, look at
17:25
Speaker 1: the numbers, look at the stats. Right, box score readers, Chris,
17:30
Speaker 1: the box were lied. It lied, and and then the
17:34
Speaker 1: real ones know. And so the jury has made its ruling.
17:38
Speaker 1: The jury has made its ruling, and the experiment is over.
17:42
Speaker 1: You're a loser. You wear the scarlet letter, the l
17:46
Speaker 1: for loser, and the buff's been called by the Trailblazers.
17:50
Speaker 1: And the verdict is in. The verdict is clear from
17:53
Speaker 1: the jury. And DeAndre Ayden is a losing player. That's
17:57
Speaker 1: what they're saying. The guy's a loser, and that's just.
18:00
Speaker 2: The way it is. He doesn't impact winning.
18:02
Speaker 1: He didn't do it in Phoenix, he didn't do it
18:04
Speaker 1: in Portland, and he's not gonna do it where he
18:07
Speaker 1: goes next.
18:07
Speaker 2: And I will laugh at the bidding war that will.
18:11
Speaker 1: Take place for DeAndre eight and as he'll try to
18:13
Speaker 1: sit on the bench somewhere on a good team and
18:16
Speaker 1: piggy back his way to some playoff success here. And
18:19
Speaker 1: so let him go to the Lakers. So I'd love
18:22
Speaker 1: that that would be so good. A loser like DeAndre
18:24
Speaker 1: eat on the Lakers. I hope that happened. All the wars,
18:27
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, and the same thing's gonna happen. He's
18:30
Speaker 1: not gonna change all of a sudden. It's one of
18:32
Speaker 1: those things in life. And there's a lot of things
18:34
Speaker 1: like this in life where he sounds better in theory
18:38
Speaker 1: than reality, right, it sounds better in theory than reality.
18:41
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of things like that in life.
18:42
Speaker 1: In sports, there's things like that also, And DeAndre eight
18:45
Speaker 1: would be an example where if you look at the
18:46
Speaker 1: SISO and I know, going back my entire time just
18:50
Speaker 1: as an adult, but around basketball in particular, in all sports.
18:54
Speaker 1: But I remember years ago when I was doing stuff
18:56
Speaker 1: every day at team events and practices, and there'd always
19:00
Speaker 1: be guys that could not just didn't get it, but
19:03
Speaker 1: teams would keep giving them opportunities because they thought. Every
19:07
Speaker 1: coach is like, I'm gonna turn this guy around. I
19:09
Speaker 1: have the code to unlock the safe. They all all
19:13
Speaker 1: coaches are wired that way. They all think, oh man,
19:15
Speaker 1: we just get this guy going watch out.
19:18
Speaker 2: And ninety eight.
19:20
Speaker 1: Point seven percent of the time that does not happen.
19:23
Speaker 1: Now that's one percent. People bring up the one percent.
19:25
Speaker 1: Oh yeah it happened this time. Okay, yeah, it happens
19:27
Speaker 1: to that time. But the rest of the time, forget
19:30
Speaker 1: about it. All right, If you would like to comment

Speaker 4: ask you to listen to the show. I'm here to
20:53
Speaker 4: ask you please, don't listen to the show. The hosts
20:55
Speaker 4: are two absolute morons who have the dumbest takes on sports, imagicable.
20:59
Speaker 4: Don't listen to the show so it can get camps
21:02

21:11
Speaker 1: app or wherever you get your podcast. He's still moving.
21:16
Speaker 5: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maller

Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
21:25
Speaker 2: Bell Miller and You. It is the Ben Maler Show.
21:28
Speaker 1: As we roll into the start of the new week.
21:32
Speaker 1: Here on a Monday, the thirtieth day of June, still
21:38
Speaker 1: late on a Sunday on the West Coast, you can
21:41
Speaker 1: interact with the show. You're on the Red Eye flight.
21:43
Speaker 1: You're here for the next number of hours. Hope to
21:45
Speaker 1: have a smooth flight, no turbulence until Blind Scott calls.
21:49
Speaker 1: But up until then, Hey, hit us up on the

Speaker 1: X machine at Ben Malor.
21:55
Speaker 2: That's at Ben Mallor.
21:57
Speaker 1: Inncide to Lorena, the FSR Tech Queen, and in the
22:04
Speaker 1: producer's chair we have brire Breed in East twenty six.
22:09
Speaker 1: There you go, your comments can and we'll be used
22:12
Speaker 1: against you in the court of sports radio. And back
22:17
Speaker 1: to it. We go right back to it. We have
22:20
Speaker 1: a P one update. P one update. The Great Uncle
22:22
Speaker 1: Ma friend of the show, the Great Uncle Mal from Brooklyn.
22:26
Speaker 1: I understand now in Jersey he is relocated to the
22:29
Speaker 1: state of New Jersey. Big news there, but he'll always
22:33
Speaker 1: be Uncle Mal from Brooklyn on this show. Once you move,
22:38
Speaker 1: you have to keep the city Monika. Once you're known.
22:40
Speaker 1: It's like Anthony and Anaheim used to call the show
22:42
Speaker 1: as Anthony Anaheim and he didn't live in Anaheim anymore,
22:45
Speaker 1: but he's Anthony from Anaheim. You can't change the moniker
22:48
Speaker 1: once you're known. Like Doc Mike who started calling I
22:52
Speaker 1: haven't heard from Doc, and WHI I started calling me
22:54
Speaker 1: over the weekend. Well as I thought we were done.
22:56
Speaker 1: I thought maybe Doc retired from the talk radio wars.
22:59
Speaker 1: And Doc started calling me something about the Cubs. He
23:02
Speaker 1: was ranting about the cubs and there's they're falling apart
23:05
Speaker 1: and going on and on all that stuff. So he's back,
23:09
Speaker 1: but Doc, he's he's hardly in Chicago. He was.
23:13
Speaker 2: He would call me up from Ecuador. Half the year.
23:16
Speaker 1: He was doing some nefarious things in Ecuador, and then
23:18
Speaker 1: he got banned from going there, and so he's just
23:20
Speaker 1: doing like barnstorming around the country, Doc Mike, and he'll
23:24
Speaker 1: but he's still Doc Mike from Chicago. Because once you
23:27
Speaker 1: get known by that, you just that's the way it is.
23:30
Speaker 1: You can't change it. Josh Wright, since says Ben, why
23:33
Speaker 1: not worry about James Harden opting out, re signing for
23:36
Speaker 1: more money and disappearing in the playoffs, Kawhi Leonard and
23:39
Speaker 1: James Harden brought the Clippers?
23:40
Speaker 2: What there you go?
23:42
Speaker 1: Uh? That's from Josh. Well, we'll get to that later. Josh,
23:45
Speaker 1: I have a four hour talk show. I don't need
23:48
Speaker 1: to talk about that right now. But I'm glad you're concerned.
23:50
Speaker 1: If you would like to program my work here, you
23:53
Speaker 1: can apply for a job. You can contact iHeartRadio and
23:57
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and see if they can hire you.
23:59
Speaker 1: Until then, shut up, You're a loser. Ben rights In,
24:03
Speaker 1: says Malor spot on on King James as a total failure.
24:08
Speaker 1: Ben says this other guy Ben known as the Bison
24:12
Speaker 1: something there on X total failure with the Lakers. He
24:16
Speaker 1: did go to LA for Hollywood. I think that's what
24:19
Speaker 1: this guy was trying to say. It certainly seems that way.
24:21
Speaker 1: Ferg Dog writes and says, any luck tracking down Lorraina
24:25
Speaker 1: is missing pizza? I heard it was delicious by the way, No, no, yeah,
24:28
Speaker 1: what happened there? Like?
24:29
Speaker 4: I don't know, Ben don't have gremlins in the studio
24:33
Speaker 4: between three and six am?
24:35
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
24:36
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
24:37
Speaker 1: Did you did you contact management and demand that they
24:40
Speaker 1: end up? By the way, who's who's resetting the phone? Bray?
24:43
Speaker 2: What are you doing over there? What is going on?
24:45
Speaker 2: You're hitting a lot of buttons.
24:46
Speaker 1: Things are going away the callers on our end.
24:50
Speaker 5: So I'm wondering if you want to try to punch
24:52
Speaker 5: one up and see what happens and maybe you'll have.
24:54
Speaker 1: Lu Are we doing caller free radio again? Is this
24:57
Speaker 1: my lot in life?
24:58
Speaker 5: Here?
24:58
Speaker 1: Is the company trying to make sure voice is shredded chicken?
25:01
Speaker 1: Is that what they're trying to do? Don't call him,
25:05
Speaker 1: he doesn't know how to fix anything. Let's let's see here.
25:07
Speaker 1: I'll just put a ram now Art Bell useduld do
25:10
Speaker 1: West of the Rockies. East of the Rockies, rely on
25:12
Speaker 1: coast to coast, you do like unscreened, you'd be like
25:14
Speaker 1: West of the Rockies used to the Rockies, like Roulette.
25:18
Speaker 1: Caller A caller one, Hello, caller, you're on the air,
25:21
Speaker 1: caller number one.
25:22
Speaker 2: Hello.
25:23
Speaker 1: Look at that as Emmett the Blind Sea Hawk fan
25:26
Speaker 1: right there.
25:27
Speaker 6: What do I win a million dollars? I don't have that.
25:30
Speaker 6: Maybe I'll have him want.
25:31
Speaker 1: You We'll just do caller free radio.
25:33
Speaker 2: This is are not call screen or free radio.
25:35
Speaker 1: I like this idea. What a disaster that will be
25:37
Speaker 1: the same five people will call over and over again.
25:40
Speaker 2: Holy crap.
25:40
Speaker 6: That's where iPhone kind of you know, you can just
25:43
Speaker 6: sam the call and you can get on as much
25:44
Speaker 6: time as you wants. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Because I was,
25:47
Speaker 6: I was like, no way, the phones broke a gang.
25:48
Speaker 6: So I talked to Breed and then it dropped me.
25:50
Speaker 1: Like, well there was none of the me explained. So
25:52
Speaker 1: what happens on the weekends here? It's it's like animal
25:55
Speaker 1: house around here. There's all kinds of stuff that goes on.
25:58
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the animal that work here on
26:00
Speaker 1: the weekend. So the total pigs that work here and
26:04
Speaker 1: destroy the equipment, the food all a couple of these pigs. Yeah,
26:09
Speaker 1: honestly they smell. Yeah, there's like food all over the floor.
26:12
Speaker 1: They trash around. It's like a third world country. I
26:17
Speaker 1: blame Bernie Frattle, That's who I blame. Yeah, I blame Bernie.
26:22
Speaker 1: But so Steff doesn't work, and like it worked fine.
26:25
Speaker 1: I was in here at the end of the week.
26:26
Speaker 1: It worked fine, and then the weekend comes and all
26:29
Speaker 1: of a sudden everything, So the phones were not working
26:32
Speaker 1: on my end. So I told Brie, I said, Brie,
26:35
Speaker 1: do you know how to reset the phone? She said,
26:36
Speaker 1: I don't know how to reset the phone. But the
26:38
Speaker 1: great thing about Brie is she'll try to do it.
26:40
Speaker 1: So she went and found some Bo. Well, well she
26:43
Speaker 1: didn't turn the whole network off. That's Bob Garra, wrong button, Bob.
26:49
Speaker 1: Bob Garrett turned the entire network of the other day.
26:52
Speaker 6: With kelvin Washington.
26:52
Speaker 1: By the way, is that right?
26:53
Speaker 2: I didn't hear that, but good for Enid.
26:55
Speaker 1: But anyway, no, so he turned the whole network off
26:57
Speaker 1: and kept the shop. So it was wild because I
27:00
Speaker 1: asked him. I asked Bob Geary, I said, reset my computer.
27:03
Speaker 1: And to reset the computer you had to go into
27:05
Speaker 1: the rack room, which is down the hall, and that's
27:09
Speaker 1: where all the brains of the operation are, like all
27:12
Speaker 1: the important computers and the satellites and all that stuff.
27:16
Speaker 1: And for some reason, the very back there was there
27:18
Speaker 1: was a button you pressed, and you reset my computer.
27:21
Speaker 2: So I told him to do that.
27:22
Speaker 1: He went back there and he pressed the button and
27:24
Speaker 1: the entire network went off. Here.
27:26
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, great story. That's like one of the best
27:28
Speaker 6: stories in FSR history.
27:30
Speaker 1: But before I know, the fact that he kept his
27:32
Speaker 1: job is even better though, because he shut the whole
27:34
Speaker 1: network off.
27:35
Speaker 6: Not only did he keep his job, this man got
27:37
Speaker 6: a bunch of promotions in the time.
27:38
Speaker 1: So that's a nuclear op.
27:40
Speaker 2: Well, I got promoters. He's good. That's why he got promoted.
27:43
Speaker 6: They said, one time mess up, we'll give you a
27:44
Speaker 6: second chance. That they're probably not going to do for
27:46
Speaker 6: Justin Tucker, who knows. But before I get into Lebron,
27:49
Speaker 6: I just got to say, Ben, and I don't think
27:51
Speaker 6: you're aware of this, but the only shows that take
27:54
Speaker 6: calls on the network, like during the weekends are shows
27:56
Speaker 6: that Brianna works on.
27:57
Speaker 1: So are you are you claiming and that Breeze somehow
28:01
Speaker 1: does not have the Midas touch, he has the Sadom touch. No,
28:05
Speaker 1: that's all I'm saying.
28:06
Speaker 6: I didn't you know, I didn't blame her. I thought
28:08
Speaker 6: it was just you know, the crappy phones being the
28:09
Speaker 6: crappy phone. So you're making it sound like it's someone
28:12
Speaker 6: who works there though, that's what I'm trying to say.
28:13
Speaker 1: Well, I'm saying that in the past this has happening.
28:15
Speaker 1: You normally just reset it and it's fine. And we've
28:18
Speaker 1: tried resetting it on both sides and it's not fine.
28:21
Speaker 2: I don't care. Listen, it doesn't matter. The working talking
28:23
Speaker 2: obviously's working. I'm talking to you.
28:25
Speaker 1: It just yeah, back, you know. But Bree's gonna get paid.
28:27
Speaker 1: You can go smoke some STIGs in the back, you know.
28:29
Speaker 1: You know she's fine.
28:32
Speaker 6: Okay, So about Lebron, this man is a fraud because
28:34
Speaker 6: fifty two million dollars and then he comes down and
28:36
Speaker 6: complains about oh, the Lakers. You know, if they don't
28:39
Speaker 6: do the right things, I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna do
28:41
Speaker 6: all this, like basically hold them hostage, like you said.
28:43
Speaker 6: And the thing with it is fifty two million dollars
28:47
Speaker 6: for you, forty year old Lebron when the Lakers only
28:50
Speaker 6: have five million dollars in salary.
28:52
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not gonna rip Lebron for that. The Lakers
28:54
Speaker 1: make tons of money, and they make a lot of
28:55
Speaker 1: it because of Lebron.
28:56
Speaker 2: James.
28:57
Speaker 6: If you take away like so you go thirty five
29:00
Speaker 6: million a year for one year, okay, that's seventeen million
29:02
Speaker 6: extra dollars that you could have to get.
29:04
Speaker 1: Your Yeah, I don't play that.
29:07
Speaker 2: I don't play that.
29:07
Speaker 6: Who's going to play defense for him? Go get Jawn
29:10
Speaker 6: from Dominoes down the street.
29:11
Speaker 2: Well I'm not here. I'm not going to go there.
29:13
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you go there.
29:15
Speaker 1: Well, sure everyone should take play for peanuts by that,
29:17
Speaker 1: by your standard, but what brought you?
29:19
Speaker 4: Know?
29:19
Speaker 6: How much money? Lebron's mad like, I feel like it's different.
29:23
Speaker 1: I understand, but I don't want anyone touching my money.
29:26
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy you. I don't care how
29:27
Speaker 1: much money you have. You don't want people taking your money.
29:29
Speaker 1: Do you want people taking your money? You get rich,
29:31
Speaker 1: your podcet, you become the Joe Rogan a blind podcast,
29:34
Speaker 1: and you want someone to take your money nah, But
29:35
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I'm saying.
29:37
Speaker 6: Man, that's a different comparison, because you know.
29:39
Speaker 1: No, I say, you get super red. Say, everyone listens
29:41
Speaker 1: to your podcast. You got a little podcat Listen, the
29:44
Speaker 1: thing blows up, right, everyone's listening, and you get offered
29:47
Speaker 1: a big money deal. Somebody offers you tons of money, right,
29:50
Speaker 1: you doing it for a while, and then you get
29:51
Speaker 1: another contract. You said, well, we want you know, we
29:53
Speaker 1: want to you know, we want to save money and
29:54
Speaker 1: buy some other podcasts or whatever.
29:56
Speaker 2: Are you going to give him a discount?
29:58
Speaker 6: Here's what I say. So if you're going to take
30:00
Speaker 6: my money away, at least pay the people behind the scenes.
30:03
Speaker 6: And if you can't do that, then we're done.
30:05
Speaker 1: All right, Well you say that, now, check back with
30:08

Speaker 1: There's nothing I like more than that feeling that I
31:50
Speaker 1: have nothing left in a vocal department. I love that,
31:53
Speaker 1: and so does the company, by the way, because I
31:55
Speaker 1: think they're trying to get me to do that.
31:56
Speaker 2: Yes, why I.
31:57
Speaker 1: Just just something popped up, Because this.
31:59
Speaker 6: Is three blind collars in a row.
32:02
Speaker 5: You one day, you should put all three of us
32:03
Speaker 5: on at the same exact time.
32:05
Speaker 1: Well, you're like a semi retired blind caller, though you'd
32:07
Speaker 1: admit right, Blind Sea Bass is not a You're not
32:11
Speaker 1: a regular caller, although this is your second call, Blind
32:15
Speaker 1: Sea Bass. Is it bad that I recognize everyone's freaking
32:18
Speaker 1: voice that calls? Is there anyone that I don't recognize
32:21
Speaker 1: that calls the damn show? Anyone? It's impressing.
32:24
Speaker 2: How do I know every stupid person that calls the show?
32:26
Speaker 1: It's ridiculous for your blind colors. Well, without the blind,
32:31
Speaker 1: that that is the base. You know you talk about
32:33
Speaker 1: talk about Team Red, Team Blue. The base for this
32:36
Speaker 1: show is the blind. I'd have no one listening without
32:38
Speaker 1: the blind, no one, the most the most loyal listeners
32:43
Speaker 1: of the blind. All Right, people talk about people people
32:45
Speaker 1: with vision suck. I can't stand people that can see.
32:49
Speaker 1: I need the blind I stand for the blind all right, brother.
32:54
Speaker 6: Yeah, good night man, and I always remember don't forget
32:56
Speaker 6: to uh swample fighting alley.
33:00
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, thank you, all right, go away. There's
33:02
Speaker 1: a blind sea bass from from Nashville. Sounds like he's
33:06
Speaker 1: doing better. He was having some issues. Is he famous?
33:10
Speaker 5: But sounded like she knew him.
33:11
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard him in a while. Yeah, he stopped
33:13
Speaker 1: calling the show for a couple of years, and they
33:15
Speaker 1: started calling recently.
33:16
Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, he was.
33:17
Speaker 1: There was a famous thing like he he was going blind.
33:21
Speaker 2: He wasn't yet blind. He lost his vision.
33:24
Speaker 1: He became blind, and then he was having some difficult
33:28
Speaker 1: This you might imagine that would be a very difficult
33:31
Speaker 1: transition if you've seen and then you become blind. Blind
33:33
Speaker 1: Blind Scott at the same thing appened, so blind Scott
33:36
Speaker 1: was trying to advise him. Of course, like everything with
33:38
Speaker 1: blind Scott, it turns into a fireball and uh, just
33:41
Speaker 1: a disaster. And then they all start fighting with each
33:44
Speaker 1: other and it's, you know, a hole to do, a
33:47
Speaker 1: hole to do anyway, all right. The green price tag,
33:50
Speaker 1: the green price tag. That would be the cost of
33:55
Speaker 1: Derek White. Now, so others having traded Derek White, or
33:58
Speaker 1: or Jalen Brown. Some chatter after they said bye bye
34:02
Speaker 1: to Drew Holliday traded him to the Trailblazers and Christop
34:06
Speaker 1: toward Zingis to the Atlanta Hawks that they'd be making
34:09
Speaker 1: another trade.
34:10
Speaker 2: Well, the chatter is that in order.
34:12
Speaker 1: To trade Derek White, they need a McHale Bridges type
34:15
Speaker 1: trade package for that to happen. So they've received a
34:19
Speaker 1: lot of offers. Now that McHale Bridges trade is infamous.
34:23
Speaker 1: New York gave up five first round picks, five first
34:28
Speaker 1: round picks, and that's what the Celtics are looking for
34:31
Speaker 1: a legend. Of course, I have no problem trading first
34:34
Speaker 1: round picks.
34:35
Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm over it. I'm a grown up.
34:38
Speaker 1: I know most of those first round picks will not
34:40
Speaker 1: turn out to be anything, maybe one out of the five.
34:43
Speaker 1: So you're essentially trading proven commodity for maybe one out
34:46
Speaker 1: of the five turns out to be okay. And you
34:51
Speaker 1: look at that Bridge's trade. I don't don't have time
34:53
Speaker 1: to get to it right now, but if you look
34:54
Speaker 1: at who the Knicks gave up, like, are any of
34:58
Speaker 1: those guys that great yet? I know it's been a
35:00
Speaker 1: couple of years Bridges has been with the Knickerbockers. We'll
35:03
Speaker 1: take a look at that. We'll continue here. The phones
35:05
Speaker 1: are kind of working. We're just doing a grab bag
35:09
Speaker 1: edition of the phones, which is somewhat exciting.
35:12
Speaker 2: List it's not.
35:13
Speaker 1: King Roy writes and says it sounds like Lebron James
35:15
Speaker 1: would make a great politician, claiming his deal will save money,
35:19
Speaker 1: but in reality we'll cost the Lakers more in the
35:21
Speaker 1: long run. Maybe once Lebron finally retires, he will run
35:25
Speaker 1: for mayor, governor or even president of the United States
35:28
Speaker 1: of America.
35:29
Speaker 2: Well, anyone can run. Just you just have to.
35:30
Speaker 1: Tell people, dumb people that they'll you'll give them everything, right,
35:34
Speaker 1: just tom oh, yeah, we'll give you free food, we'll
35:37
Speaker 1: give you free housing. And dumb people love that and
35:39
Speaker 1: they think it's going to happen, and they vote for that.
35:42
Speaker 2: That's normally how that works.
35:43
Speaker 1: Just it doesn't matter what party you're just promise a
35:46
Speaker 1: bunch of free stuff, and that's that's the way the words.
35:49
Speaker 2: Parito writes in says, here's what really happened.
35:51
Speaker 1: Laflopper wanted another two year deal with an option on
35:55
Speaker 1: the second year, and Mark Walter said no, not this time,
35:59
Speaker 1: so he opted in and puts out the statement to
36:01
Speaker 1: save face, I say trade Bronnie to Toronto, Charlotte or
36:05
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. Lditty will be upset and bye bye.
36:10
Speaker 1: So Parido wants lebron Gonzo.
36:13
Speaker 2: Here you go? All right?
