• 1:58
  Speaker 1: never ending NBA postseason. So we'll start out with that.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: We'll go to the Twin Cities. That is where Stephen
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Kerry in Golden State, the Traveling Circus arriving at the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Target Center game number one. Oh well that was I
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: think that wasn't part of Let's try that again game
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: number one. Okay, there we go now, so you gotta
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: work out the kinks. There we go. So Game one
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Western Conference Semifinals at the Target Center downtown Minnesota. Be there,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: b Square and Edwards on the other side, and you
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: had the Timberwolves who were strutting, they were styling, they
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: were profiling after shoving it down Lebron James throat and
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: eliminating that annoying Laker team. So here you go. Now
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you're set up and this is the matchup. You take
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: out a bunch of big names in the NBA. For
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you're Anthony Edwards, So I don't know if you saw
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the game or not. Maybe you were not watching, possibly not.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Don't worry, we were watching, so you wouldn't have to.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Buddy Healed did not get off to a great start,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but it's not how you start. I was told, it's
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: how finish, and he ended up with twenty four points.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I think he missed his first seven shots, but after
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that he rarely missed twenty four points. Jimmy Butler added
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: twenty and eleven, and Golden State ended up butchering the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: timber Wolves. Is they win this one? And never any
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: question they were gonna win the game a little bit
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the leader was down tonight. Did you really think that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at any moment the Warriors were going to lose the game? No,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: even Draymon Draymond Green is knocking down three point shots.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He made four to three point shots. I think they
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: were all in the first half, eighteen points in the game.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: So game two will be on Thursday, but we're focusing
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in on game one, and the better story is in
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the losing locker. We should be noted though, before we
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: get to that, that Steph Curry had a case of
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: snap crackle pop worthy the word oh my hammy, it
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: went whammy for Steph Curry limited to thirteen minutes and
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Golden State still ends up winning the game. The better story, though,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: as I said, is in the losing locker room. So
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: let us discuss the question for the esteem panel post
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: game game one here the question was this just an
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: off night by Anthony Edwards, who was not only a
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: basketball player, was terrible? Was this just an off night
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: by Anthony Edwards? Or there a deeper level of concern
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for Minnesota. So I've got Blink, two naked gun, and billiards,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make a delicious, juicy lucy which doesn't taste
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: quite as good because the Wolves sucked at a time
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you cannot suck. So a if you examine deep inside
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the weeds, the question about Anthony Edwards is this just
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: an off game? Or is this a sign of a
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: deeper level of concern? The scale is leaning towards sky
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: is falling? What are you doing here? All right? Because
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: this is your this is your alpha a right or
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: alpha dog? This is your guy. And another another hiccup. Listen,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: He's a fun player to watch Anthony Edwards. There were
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: some games, even the series they beat the Lakers, where
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards was not the reason that Minnesota was winning
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: those games. It was a plotting performance by Anthony Edwards.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And he's kind of like going to it to Applebe's.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you go to Applebee's and the food's
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: really good, and it's fine and solid meal, solid meal,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and that's like Anthey often pretty solid, and then occasionally
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the quality control the food's not prepared properly and you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: might end up with the stomach ache. And much like
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: watching Anthony Edwards play basketball, it's interesting to say he
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: did not have the big d energy. Remember he announced
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: to the world that he's got the biggest Johnson in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the world. He let the Laker historians know that. Well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: on this night, it was the Blink one point eight
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: two song, all the small things he was I think
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: it was a micro situation for Anthony Edwards in this game,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: living up to the ant man Moniker and the incredible
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: shrinking man. Anthony versh for eight from the floor in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the first he started the game, oh for ten. He
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: finally scored at the eight minute mark of the third quarter.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That's my franchise player right there, Anthony Edwards, and down
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: twenty three points. That was the high water mark. Down
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: twenty three points. At that point, Anthony Edwards said, you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna play like Dak
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Prescott in garbage time in an NFL game and fatten
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: up my stats. And so that's what he did. So
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: you look at the stats, so oh, it wasn't that bad, okay,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: But in the flow of the game, Anthony Edwards was atrocious,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: absolutely astrocious. Now it's not just Anthony Evers. He's the headliner.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So it's like you go to see a Broadway show
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and above the fold, above the marquee. There headline performer
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: does not perform well. Well, other people didn't perform well
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: as well, but that's the headliner. But if you look
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: at the circle of disgrace for the Minnesota basketball team,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: several running mates the Timberwolves watching them play in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: second quarter, in the third quarter of this game, like
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: salt on a snail, they just melted. The second quarter
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: was bad, bad. It was so bad. I flipped over.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I was touching in baseball and I didn't really enjoy
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the baseball game. So it was like, at least they're trying.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think the Timberwolves were trying. And then you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: had Rudy Gobert who turned back into a pumpkin. Is
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: like he was in a choke hold and man alive.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I guess when you don't see those Laker uniforms, you
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you don't look like Shaquille O'Neal anymore. You had quiet
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: performance Rudy Gobert. Julius Randall had eighteen points. It was
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: four of eleven and the kil Alexander Walker played about
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. He had a cardio game in a playoff game.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Cardio game. No points, no rebounds, no assists. That's a
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: cardio game. So way to go man. All right now,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: page two, let's get down in to the injury tent tier.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: My god, So how are things looking for Golden State
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: at this point with the injury to you know who?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So how are things looking for Steph Curry after the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: hamstring injury where he played thirteen minutes and then he
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: started grabbing his hamstring and they took him out. He
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: did not come back into the game. So you have
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the public and the private. Much like politics, you have
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the public and the private. So publicly Steph Curry is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: listed as day to day and he's got left hamstring
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: strain and exod. He's in a bad mood, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: he's little bummed out and all that stuff. He's gonna
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: have an MRI on Wednesday and they'll assess what grade.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: It's all about grades, much like when you were in
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: high school. It's all about grades. So they have to
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: determine the grade of the injury and how long will
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: he be out? Now we do not know, but I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostrudinas.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: And while I am not a doctor, I have practiced
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: on the radio. I have my sports radio medical degree.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So after eight minutes long investigation into the Steph Curry
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: injury and hamstring injuries in general, we have determined, based
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on my overnight medical training, that the recovery time for
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Steph Curry will be at a bare minimum ten days.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: That's a week and a half, which will take him
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: out of what three four games? Maybe he can come
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: back if there's a game six in this series. That's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the top sinnari ten days, so he'll be out ten
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: days and then the other option, if it's a Grade
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: two strain, then.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Go bye.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: He'll be out for a month and a half a month.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It's May that'll take you to mid June. It's May
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that takes you to mid June, so see you later.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: And it's also the type of injury that lingers. And
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: that's also a bit of an issue. Now. If you
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: take a wide angle view up from thirty thousand feet
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: in the plan, you look down at Steph Curry and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: you say, what's going on here? It's like, well, Steph
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Curry's going Hollywood here. I know he likes to dabble
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in documentaries and things like that, but this is a
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: remake of The Naked Gun and he's playing the Oj
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Simpson character Norberg right at Nordberg. He's a walking disaster
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: doing slapstick comedy in these playoffs right now. Because not
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: only does he have the hammy that went whammy, he's
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: also got the thumb, which is the over the top,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: all mangled thumb, his spraying thumb, which looks like it's
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the size of some kind of foam thing you'd buy
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: at an amusement park. So you've got that and without Curry.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: The Warriors now will depend more on Jimmy Butler and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Buddy Healed, Buddy Ball and also Draymond Green. Right now,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: last word, so how would you describe how would you
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: describe the Wolves performance to start to start this series
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: here with the Golden Say Warriors. So my word is frazzled. Now.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I did like the fact that Chris Finch, the coach
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: of the Timberwolves, did not bite his tongue. In fact,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: he unloaded, which means he's probably gonna lose his job soon.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: The coach of the Timberwolves. Listen to him unload on
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Postgame starts with Anthony, you know he I thought he's
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: was uh, you know, he struggled early and then you
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: could just kind of see the light go out a
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: little bit for a while, and then you know, obviously
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: we had to try to get him going in the
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: second half. But I think, you know, it was one
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: of those games where he kind of came out with
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: the predetermined mindset that he was trying to do and
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: just rather than just playing the game that was in
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: front of him. What is there to talk about. I mean,
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: you're they're they're the leader of the team, and you
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: got to come out and set the tone. Yeah, come on, man,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: you and if it's if your shots not going like you,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: you still have to carry the energy, you know. So
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think there's if I got to talk to
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: guys about having the right energy coming into opening around game,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: opening the second round game, and you know we're not
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: you know we're not on the same page.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, there you go. Take that, Anthony Edwards. So
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: so essentially what he said is Edwards had in his
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: head he the way he wanted to play, and he
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: couldn't play that way and he just fell apart. He
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: just had he just had nothing nothing. You know. It's
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: like it's kind of when I come in here and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I do a monologue and in the monologue sucks, right,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: first monologue blows, and then I gotta do the show
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the rest of the show. I can't just have a
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: pity party. There's no pity party.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: They screw up the first monologue and then you gotta
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: do the whole rest of the damn show. And you're
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in a bad mood, but you gotta, you gotta go forward,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: you because the great thing about this this job is
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you never know when people listen, right, there's always new
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: people tuning in. Unfortunately, there's also people tuning out, which
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: is a problem anyway. So I use the word frazzle
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: to describe the Minnesota basketball team. Minnesota had six days
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of rest. Every team that had rest lost. Everyone's freaking
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: out by that. Oh my god, they should not have
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: any rest. No one should have shot up. It's a
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: small sample size, small sample size. Uh, And they ended
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: up poll axing the Lakers. And then when you get
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: extra rest because you poll axe, that's a good thing.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: They're the younger team, all of that, and it didn't matter.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: It didn't matter. And the most embarrassing thing, though, is
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you lost a game at home and Steph Curry essentially
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: didn't play thirteen minutes is nothing, and you still lost
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: the game. How embarrassing is that. I know there's no
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: such thing as home court advantage anymore. We'll get to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: that later, but my god, you had a fully healthy roster.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: You had Anthony Edwards out there who was urinating down
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: his leg and you can't capitalize it. And it's kind
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: of like billiards, right, You've now put yourself in a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: position where the other teams you lost to a team
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: without their best player, and you've put yourself behind the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: eight ball in the series like that was one. That's
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: a gimme. If I told you two days ago Steph
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Curry is going to play thirteen minutes in that game. Okay,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: how fast can I get to my app on my phone?
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Put a bed in? How fast? My god? The timberwol
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: shooting was abysmal. Three point they looked like the Celtics.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: They didn't shoot as many, but they looked like this.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Oh fifteen from three point range for Minnesota in the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: first half. And the other thing that stood out not
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: only could they not shoot, they also could not hustle. Apparently,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: I guess hustle was optional because they failed to contest shots.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: All those old hustle stats I had, charges drawn, deflections,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: hustling for rebounds, loose balls recovered on the screening, all
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: of that stuff was in the negative. It seemed like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: watching the game and the fighting for rebounds, the Minnesota
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: basketball team allowed eighteen offensive rebounds that gave the Warriors,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: if my math is correct, here a ton of second
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: chance points despite being shorthanded. Right in, Minnesota supposed to
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have better interior players and it didn't matter. It is
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like to comment on
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: any of that, you can join us here. The lines
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: will open up abra cadabra at eight seven seven ninety

  Speaker 1: three six nine, and every line is wide open right now,
• 16:24

• 16:26
  Speaker 1: it becomes progressively harder to get in throughout the overnight.

  Speaker 1: from pro Bouncy Ball, and we ranted and raved last
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: hour about the win for the Golden State Warriors on
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the road. So they are up one to zero in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that series, but it was game two. We go now
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: to Cleveland and the number one seed in the entire
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Eastern Comms. They were monster mashing during the regular season,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: but now it's the second round of the playoffs. The
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Cleveland basketball team and the location for game number two
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: their Eastern Conference semi finals. That the setup after the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton Pacers stole game number one in the series
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: and Spider Mitchell's calves we're trying to bounce back here
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: and win game two. You know the setup, right, So
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that's the setup. And you didn't see the game here,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: maybe not. It was the early game on the card.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're watching or not, but Tyrese
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Halliburton made a three pointer with one point one seconds
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to go in said game one point one seconds remaining,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and that elevated to a higher level. The Indiana Pro
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Bouncy Ball team as the Pacers scored the final eight
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: points in forty seven point nine seconds forty seven point
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: nine seconds to stun absolutely take the guts out of
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland basketball team one twenty to one nineteen. Good afternoon,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: good evening, and good night. Now as the Pacers, the
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Little Pacers are up to nothing in the Eastern Conference
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: semi final. Now Halliburton scored eleven of his nineteen points
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: in the final quarter of basketball. That'd be the last
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: twelve minutes. There's four to twelve minute quarters. Matt Andrew
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Nebhardt stole a inbound pass from Max Struce, who had
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: a hammer dunk earlier that seemingly put the game out
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: of reach, but he did not. When Max Shruce dunks,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: you figure it's your night. It wasn't your night. So
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Nemhart stole the inbound pass. With twenty seven and a
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: half seconds the remaining in the game in Indiana, tried
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: to find the tying three point shot, but Halliburton ended
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: up driving, he got fouled, he went to the line,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: he made the first foul shot and he breaked it
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: he missed the second one, but Halliburton. As the Kavs
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: were caught twiddling their thumbs, Halliburton snuck in there. He
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: got the offensive rebound, and he dribbled out to the
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: three point line and delivered from downtown. Halliburton just like me. I'men,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I'm moneyball, mallor when I'm out there and I'm on
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: the court and I'm putting down the moneyball, that's what
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I look like. You don't really see that kind of
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: activity in the NBA, but that's exactly what happened there.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And my goodness. So the Pacers end up winning the
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: game a futile final attempt by the Cleveland Pro bouncy
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Ball team. There at the end, Miles Turner and aaron
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Nei Smith led the way for the number four seed
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers. Theych had fun. Yeah, there you go. Theyj
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: had twenty three points. It's the first time the Pacers
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: have won the first two games of a playoff series
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: on the road since nineteen ninety four. I wasn't even
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: alive in nineteen ninety Oh my god, nineteen ninety four,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Holy crap. That was against the Orlando Magic, who I
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: believe at that time had Shaquille O'Neill. I believe at
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that time shaq was was doing his thing. So now
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell had forty eight points for the Cleveland basketball team.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: We saw a lot of that pose at the end
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: of the game, the cobe reposed by the fame. There
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: better story, though, is in that locker room, the losing
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: locker room. So let us address and as we will
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: discuss the outcome of this game. So all right, who
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider Mitchell Cavaliers?
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Who gets to wear the Dunce cap on this one?
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: I've got chartered flight, Mark Twain and classic commercials, and
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: are going to make a delicious corn beef sandwich, just
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: a marvelous sandwich, the corn beef sandwich. All right, So
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: number I said a number to answer the question who
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: gets to wear the Dunce cap for the Spider Mitchell calves.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that. I wanted to mention though, this
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: is a textbook example, a textbook example of the motto
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: of the show. And I've been doing this for a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: couple of minut and it's, you know, kind of new
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: around here. But I've always pointed out the better stories
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: of the losing locker room. Most games are also lost.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: They are not won. That people think of tremendous performance
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: as winning games. But in order to have that you
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: have to have the other side have a bunch of
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: brain farts. And we got that. We got that right.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I mean again, this is an example here. You think
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: of the history of flight in the Right Brothers and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: how important that was. They're credited with the the the
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: beginning of human flight, and in this game it was
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: the Wrong Brothers for the cavaliers there, my god, a
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Cleveland got a chartered flight. They took the whole team
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: out and destination Choke City. That was where the flight
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: was headed, and they made it. They landed right there
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: in Choke City late in the game, and they suffered
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: a panic attack and everyone could see it. And so
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: we ended up getting a value pack of year to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: pass out dune caps. Max Struce gets the first dune cap.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: He's the number one Dingleberry gdulation. Not only was he
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: unable to complete a basic basketball play, a fundamental play
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: passing the ball in bounds, he also shot two of
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: seven down the stretch. No I have an unpopular opinion.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I believe Donovan Mitchell deserves a level of bit. Well,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: you had forty eight puts. You don't know ball, You
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: don't know ball. Bet he had forty eight points. Okay,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: But isn't the whole point of this to close the job?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: And you're the star and everyone else is hurt, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: this is your team and you're the big megastar and
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: you're getting all the big money and all that, and
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: your team is at home. You lost the first game.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Don't you have to make some more plays down the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: stretch to prevent that to happen. Oh he didn't. He
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: did not. And despite the forty eight Cleveland, they were
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: up twenty. They had a seventeen point lead with six
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: seconds to go in the third quarter of this game,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: seventeen point lead with twelve minutes and six seconds to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: go in the game. They shot the rest of the
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: game somehow, twenty six point three percent from the floor.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: They took nineteen shots, they missed fourteen of them to
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: close the game out. And Donovan Mitchell didn't do enough
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: at the time he was supposed to do enough. He
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: did not do enough. And so there you are, and
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: you're you're the front man, it's your band. You're you're
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the lead singer. And you lost your voice at the end. There,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you had laryngitis at the end. And let's not forget
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson, the head coach. Listen to Kenny Atkinson, this
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: is the coach of the year in the NBA. How
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: awkward your name coach of the year and your team
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: goes out there and rides the vomit commet Listen to
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson make some excuses for his team.
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: I would just say, collectively, we ran out of gas.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: They kept turning an impressive up. Like I said, holding,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: grabbing and foulingite honestly, but that's the play you know,
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: that's the playoffs. I'm not complaining about it that the
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: you know, rest did a good job. I just think
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: you have to be played through fouling and holding and grabbing,
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: and we just we didn't have the We didn't have
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: the force left.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: All right. So I've got my my malor Rosetta stone.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: It sounds to me like the Cavs coach is pointing
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: out his team is not designed for playoff basketball. He's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: saying right there, his team is a fraud. Send that
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: out lead A Lapp put that out on next Kenny
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Atkinson's announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers are a fraudulent basketball team,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that they're a regular season team, they're not designed for
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the playoffs, and that they can't handle physicality because the
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: soft they're driving a mister Softy truck to the arena
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: every day, they can't handle. That's what it sounds like
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to me, am I being overly dramatic. I don't think
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I am. I know strip club John and Cleveland's agreeing
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: with me. I know that. I think Ohio Al shaking
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: his said yes, I believe they are now page two.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: So what are these first two games? Both wins for
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: the Indiana basketball team? What do they do for the Pacers?
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: And mainly what do they do for Tyreese Halliburton the
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: star and his reputation. So it's only two game series,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: isn't over? Certainly we do the show right now, so
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna worry about what happens coming up. We're
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: gonna worry about what's happening right now. So at this moment,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: this is the same guy, like a couple of weeks ago,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: was voted the most overright overright A player in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: entire sport. Not by some media hacks or fanboys. This
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: was by his contemporaries, his co workers, the people he
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: plays against, said that he's the most overrated player in
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the sport. This is also the same player whose father
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: got into the face of the Greek freak on the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: court after the Milwaukee Bucks lost to the Pacers, and
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: it was that whole awkward thing. So Haliburt has been
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: taken on some shrapnel over the last couple of weeks,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: and in the span of the last two playoff games,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Tyrese Haliburton has gone full Mark Twain and he's pulled
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: out his Remington number two typewriter and he is rewriting
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: his story. Here. It's a rewrite for Tyreese Aliburton not
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: only the clutch game winning jumper in game number two,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: but also he played hero ball back in game number one,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: as we talked about the other day, and so back
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to back big time road playoff performances. Now, the counter
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: argument is, well, the Cavs aren't and he's the luckiest guy,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: and he's got the curse. They put the voodoo on
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: the other team, and the other team doesn't have their
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: best players and the Milwaukee team didn't have Dame Lillard,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: and this team Cleveland's without three or four of the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: top guys and blah blah blah blah. Okay, but history
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: will not remember that. History will remember Haliburton hitting game
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: winning shots and that that's what history is going to
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: remember here and making big Bass gets twenty two points
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: in Sunday's win and then follows it up and he
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: had to go ahead three pointer midway through the fourth
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: quarter in that particular game. And then moments after Haliburton
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: hits the big jumper in the game on Tuesday night,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: he earned himself a tax deductible charitable donation. Did you
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: notice what he did after he hit the shot? If
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: you saw the highlight or not. He honored the legacy
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: of Sam Cassell, half man, half alien, Sam Cassell as
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Tyrene Saliburton did the Big Ball Dance. He did the
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Big Ball Dance. Celebration there Kobe Bryants done the big
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: back in his day. He did the Big Ball dance.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Lebron James I think just grabbed his drunk. He was
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a version of the Big Ball dance. And do you
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: know what that originated? That originated in a movie in
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: a baseball movie. The character that is iconic in Major
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: League Dennis Haysbert character Serrano did the big Ball dance
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: and that was copied by Sam Kassel. And every time
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a player's done it, they've gotten fined. The NBA does
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: not want their players to announce they have large testicles.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: They do not want that, and you'll get fined. And
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: so Tyree Saliburton will be fine for that. All right? Now,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: final point, how much trouble? Let's do a state of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the team address. How much trouble are the number one
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: seeded Cleveland? I said, number one seedy? There, number one
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: seeded Cavaliers. We got, how much trouble are the in?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: All right? So there's a phrase. I think we've all
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: heard this along the road to life. If not, i'll
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: tell you again. If you find yourself in the bottom
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: of a hole, you should probably stop digging. So put
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the shovel down. That's the first thing they need to do.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: They've dug themselves a massive hole. And the thing is
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: that Indiana didn't really play well in Game two for
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: most of the game and they still won anyway, like
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: they were really out of it. I was like that,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: I put a note down on my little notes thing
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: on my phone. I was watching the games. It doesn't
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: look like the same team. What happened? And I was
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: gonna was gonna come out and kill them. I was like, well,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: they looked like they were satisfied to win Game one,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the Pacers, and they just they just didn't have it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden they found it. But
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I don't even think they really found it. I think
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: it was more that Cleveland just gave the game away
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: with stupidity at the end. And so it ends up
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: being a combo of a couple of classic commercials for
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the Cavaliers, the State of the Cavaliers Address for Donovan
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Mitchell and friends. You've got two classic commercials. You've got
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: the clap on, clap off the clapper right, clap on,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: clap off the clapper right, just like that, and then
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: you've got the classic commercial from life call I fall
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: It and I can't get up. I fall it, I
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: can't get it, just like that. Now, the classes half
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: full crowd will say, well, it's just injuries and all,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: but that's part of the sport, right, I mean, that
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: is part of the sport. And so Cleveland was without
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year. Evan Mobley bad ankle,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: he was out of the lineup. DeAndre hunter Key reserve
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: right thumb injury. He's out of the lineup. Darius Garland,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the playmaker, the facilitator, Darius Garland with a big toe injury,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: a left a big toe injury, so he missed his
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: four straight games. So those guys are out. That doesn't
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't give you a mulligan. You're not getting a mulligan,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and you're not exempt from criticism. If anything, this shows
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: how fraudulent the team is that they don't have other
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: players able to step up here boo hoo hoo, and
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: that's just part of the deal. Next man up, you
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: do what you have to do, and all that stuff.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: And so it seems like they're having a pity party.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: So the Malard scale of panic for the Cavaliers one
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: to ten, with ten being oh mg, we are ft.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: I'm at a nine. You've lost both games. If you're
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the cav Years at home, and there's no sense that
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Garland's gonna play at any point here soon, and who
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: knows about Mobley, So if you're depending on those guys
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: that come back, and even if they come back, how
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: good are they going to be? You figure the Pacers
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: win at least one of the next two games at home,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: so then you're looking at a three to one series lead.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: And at that point, I mean, you are really up
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: against it. As the Cleveland basketball team, you are really
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: in a tough situation.
• 35:28

  Speaker 7: The plaintiff, who identifies as John Doe, is seeking one
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: hundred million dollars in damages.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Does John Doe have a case? The word here is frivolous?
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Is the word here? Frivolous? This thickness, This is the
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: stupidest thing, No chance and zero. It's a good story
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: to laugh at. You're not gonna get any money out
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: of this. I'm surprised this hasn't already been thrown out
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: a court.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: Next, free agent wide receiver Mariy Cooper and his former team.
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: The Cowboys have reportedly mutual interest in a reunion.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Is this a reunion? That would feel so good? Ben, Well,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: they won all those Super Bowls before, of course it
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: would feel good.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: No.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, listen, Mark Cooper at this point, he's thirty years old,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: so he's right at the cusp of the end of
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: his abilities as a dominant NFL player. And he would
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: be the perfect Cowboy because he's just a journeyman wide receivers. Okay,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: but he's not great. That's the Cowboys next.
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: Eli Manning and Michael Strahan helped lead the Giants in
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: two Super Bowl titles. Now they're going head to head
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: in an attempt to purchase a ten percent minority stake
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: in the team. Yeah, Ben, who are you rooting for
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: in this Battle of the Giants?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, So if you promised me that whoever gets the
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: team is off television, then I'll go. I'll go. I
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: want Manning to get the team, but I think is
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: gonna end up getting a team and it doesn't matter.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady is on TV all time.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: How do we do?
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: That's a fail. I'm rooting for John Doe. Yeah, you
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: can root for John Doe. You can root whoever you are,
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be a loser is where you're gonna be.

• 38:28
  Speaker 1: place to go on a first date besides dinner? Besides dinner?
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: All right, very important. Where do you go on a
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: first day? Where do you want?
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's good to be original and there
• 38:40
  Speaker 8: used to have that dating show right where you would
• 38:42
  Speaker 8: go on like five different first dates, and that would
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: give some really good ideas.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: You could go golf.
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: Karting, you could go mini golfing, you could go skydiving,
• 38:51
  Speaker 8: you could I don't even you could just take her
• 38:53
  Speaker 8: shopping for the first time.
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: Don't just go to dinner.
• 38:55
  Speaker 8: Obviously, feed the girl because they want to be fed
• 38:58
  Speaker 8: all the time. They're going to be in a better
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: mood if you feed them first.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: So food is the key that did you go to
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: the heart? You go through the stomach?
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: Is that exactly? Almost like almost like a man, but
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: a little bit different, a little bit okay? Yeah, all right,
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: but always include food and your shenanigans.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: So I want to go back to this is not
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: a question from a listener, but we had a story earlier.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was spotted at the Kentucky Derby. Looked like
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: he had a wedding ring on wedding ring. But people
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: don't think he got married. Some people think it's some
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: kind of social experiment like the Seinfeld show back in
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the day. So, Lorena, can you explain the positives and
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: the negatives of not being married but wearing a wedding ring.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: Right, So, a lot of people do it as a
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: deterrent so that people don't try to hit on them.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: That would be the women.
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, women usually do that, not men. Men. Men usually
• 39:53
  Speaker 5: take off their wedding rings.
• 39:54
  Speaker 8: I mean maybe I'm just you know, I've seen a
• 39:56
  Speaker 8: lot of movies and that's what happens.
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: But I tend to see men.
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: Taking them, if not putting on fake ones. So yeah,
• 40:02
  Speaker 8: that is a little odd that he would do that. Yeah,
• 40:06
  Speaker 8: and like you said, everyone knows he's.
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: Not married as far as we know.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe he got like a secret he got.
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: A ring that only fits on that one specific finger.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe, hmmm, where do you think he got the ring?
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: You think about it like a pawn shop or something.
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: Like that, or maybe maybe yeah, hhmm, interesting, Maybe it's
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: a promise ring.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: Maybe he's marrying an alien from another part of the college.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: You see that story this week, there's like three alien
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: bases on Earth according to the story, Oh stop, yeah, Alaska,
