• 3:08

• 3:11
  Speaker 1: open up. Later on Big Ben's Lame Jokes of the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Week that'll be an hour three of the Big Radio program.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: And later on this hour as well, we will have
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the who am I Game and some surprises along the way.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I thought this story really resonated, and we're gonna start
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: with it. Go to Cleveland where James Harden is settling
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in the cadaver guard. James Harden and he was asked
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: recently why it has become the standard, not the occasional,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the standard in pro bouncy ball for guys to bounce, bounce, bounce,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: bounce from team to team to team and being passed
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: around like a collection plate on a Sunday at church well,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Harden was just a few days ago from the people's team,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the Clippers to the mistake by the Lake there that
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is now his sixth team. Six teams, so he's got
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland, the Clippers, what else? Houston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: ok C. So I Harden was asked about all of this,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and what did he say? I guess we have it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: So here's a Harden he's settling into the Cavaliers locker room.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And here's what Harden had to say about loyalty and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: players changing teams take.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: A less and the whole quote unquote loyalty thing is
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I think it's overrated, you know. I think it says
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a business at the end of the day, and it's
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of money involved and a lot of decisions
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that has.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: To be made, you know what I mean.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: So like if a player isn't producing, or if you
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: don't see him in the future, or you know, front
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: office some of them have to do like a job
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and want to keep their job, you know, so they
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: got to I feel like they got to do its
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: best for you know, to keep their job, and they
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: trade players or if a guy isn't happy and he
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: wants to be traded to somewhere else, and it's a problem.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I'm it's just so many different dynamics that go into it.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: This is a business at the end of the day,
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: so like you know, not even just the NBA, but
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: like people that have normal jobs have you know, have
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: those same problems. It's just not magnified.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Okay. So that is the voice of James Harden, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the money part of that was the whole quote unquote
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: loyalty thing. I think it's overrated and the standard. It's
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: just a business at the end of the day. So
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: that's all a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the question for the Esteemed panel, James Harden saying that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: loyalty in the NBA is over rated, over rated. How
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: do you categorize? Categorize this one right? How you catalog it?
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: So I've got blueprint, salamander and mind virus, and will
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna make
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: some delicious soft pretzels because James Harden in the playoffs
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: turns into a soft pretzel, which is not good. Not good.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: So A I saw the sound, but I thought, wow,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: this is probably ai. You know, he wouldn't actually say this,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but he didn't he said it. James Harden calling loyalty
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: overrated is like a raccoon lecturing you about the proper
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: etiquette involving trash, how to dispose of trash, Like, yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it's a loud order, but let's not pretend that you're
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the authority on this. It's just a business. That is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the standard default answer in times like this. And yeah,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: so he's if I'm math is right, Hardin has had
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, three, but four trade requests since
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. He ballooned up to get out of
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Houston and caused problems in Brooklyn and in Philadelphia. I'm
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: sure it's all just a coincidence, though it's I would say,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: behavioral pattern for James Harden. Now, when you ask out
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of Houston, he was beloved with the Rockets, right, that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: was his team and all that, and he wanted out
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: of there. Brooklyn was a hot mess, Philly wasn't any better,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and the Clips was just mediocre. And so now he
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: needs another fresh vibe in Cleveland. And at some point,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at some point you say, well, wait, you are the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: common denominator, and it stops being capitalism and starts becoming
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: just musical chairs for what exactly. It's not like Cleveland's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: in any better position to win anything. Cavs aren't going
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to win anything this year. So this is a microcosm
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of what is wrong, the underlying condition with the NBA,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and the most amazing thing about it as I sit
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: here from the bully pulpit and it's like the people
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: who are in there don't realize what they're doing. It
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: fascinates me that they don't understand that this has had
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: long term ramifications on the sport. This is the quit
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and run generation. It's too hard run away from it.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: The blueprint was drawn up by Lebron James and it
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: was then laminated by Kevin Durant, and I guess notarized
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: by James Harden. I guess notarized the whole thing. Lebron famously,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'm taking my talents to Miami Hi Cadwood in Cleveland,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: so I'm leaving. Okay, loyalty overrated. Of course, it's overrated
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: for James Harden because that requires grit and moxie. Right,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: these are things that it's just easier to go to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a different team. Staying put that's uncomfortable, that's difficult. Why
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: would you do difficult, You shouldn't do difficult. And that's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the times we live in, right, That's that's it. You know,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this generation of players treats adversity like it's expired milk.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: You sniff it, you toss it, you move on, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: then that's it. And and here's the dirty little secret.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And this is the part of the jigsaw puzzle which
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the players don't seem to get. When the players stop
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: caring and the players don't even attempt to be loyal,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: what do you think the customers do? What do you
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: think the fans do? Yeah, the smart consumer. You got
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a lot more options now, a lot more options, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: there's less emotional investment. And so you're like, Okay, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: agree with James Harden. You know what, He's got a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: great point. Loyalty is overrated. So I will not be
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: loyal to any team in the NBA. I will not
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: support any individual team that's a suckers game. James Harden's right,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: So why would you support any team? Now? Just don't
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: do it? Because listen, if the team teams that can
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: be good every year can have bad year, it's gonna
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: have been a couple bad years in a row. So
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: why bother make a business decision, just don't support them.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: That's the mindset. That's the thing that James Harden, Lebron
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and the guys have brought to the to the modern NBA.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: And and of course there's the fanboys that whatever these
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: athletes do, they just sit there with their knee pads
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on and they can't get enough of it. Now, as
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: far as the James Harden honeymoon, the hard and honeymoon Cleveland,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: right now, it's still also about like a week or so.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: It's it's it's the honeymoon phase. The chocolates, the roses,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: the Instagram captions, all that stuff. There is an expiration
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: date and it is stamped in bold writing, bold writing,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and it says playoff basketball. That's the expiration date for
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the Harden honeymoon. Meanwhile, we have another grumbling basketball player
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and the Green Machine, Draymond Green. He's never angry at all.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why would he? Why would Raymond be
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: angry anyway? Screenshots plausibly associated with Draymond Green criticizing Doris
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Burke Draymond Green is wasting his I worried about Doris
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Burke on social media. The allegation is that she ignored
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: fouls against him during the Spurs Warriors game the other
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: night with Wemby when they were tied up together, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: only partially praised the positive, seizing on critical elements of
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Draymond's game. Draymond is, according to the Internet screenshots, claim
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to have said she will always ignore things happening to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: me and only half mention the good and take shots
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: when they are available. Been that way for a while.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Close quote our question whose side are you on? You
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: make the call to? He said, she said, situation? Whose
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: side are you on? The Warriors? Draymond Green beefing with
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: TV commentator Doris Burke. All right, so Draymond Green is
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: what is he doing? He's firing digital darts at Doris Burke.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Am I supposed to get worked up into the ladder?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I thought he was the enforcer for the Golden State Warriors.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Wink wink, nod nod here the human smoke alarm right,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the emotional spirit animal of the Golden State Warriors. There,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and he's upset because of a TV analyst. So yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: let me get that. So you're worried about the tone
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of the announcer calling the game. So after a seconds
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: long Mallard deliberation. I am siding with Doris Burke. And
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I know Alf right now is snickering, and
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: so is Terry in England and Fergdog and all those guys.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I am not exactly the president of the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Doris Burke Marching in Chowder Society. She is why the
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: mute button was invented. She doesn't bother me because I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: don't pay attention. I hit the mute button. I hit
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: them mute button with Doris Burke. Mute mute, Mute, Mute, Mute,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Mute mute. It's mutiny on the bounty. Mute mute mute.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Draymond's got rabbit ears? Does he also have salamander skin
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: as well?
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: What is it like? You're the man in the area,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: all you guys, all you jocks love to brag or
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: in the arena. We don't care what you say, okay,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: mister gladiator man? So why are you peeking behind the curtain?
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: And the other thing about was how do you even
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: know what she said? Did you borrow the Mallard surveillance
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: van and park it outside the Chase Center there in
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: San Francisco piping in the audio? Were you wearing ear buds,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: so you'd hear feels very conspiratorial. It's great you start
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: complaining as the athlete about the messenger. Could it be
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: because that hit a little food close to home? Could
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: that be why Draymond has been in the avy a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: long time? And in terms of the basketball party fouls,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: there's a lot the rap sheet is thicker than Wikipedia.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Technicals here, suspensions, they're kicking guys in the nuts over there.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: That there's a lot of stuff. Draymond's had a very
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: productive career. He's been good for business, been good for business.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: You can't be the villain and then whine about the
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: name er voice person. You can't do that. You know,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: never let them see a sweat. And just by Draymond
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: commenting on this, I give the win to Doris Burk.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I seriously, what do you do your sweating? All right?
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Last word? We now go to the league office, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: there was a story a couple of days ago the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Utah Jazz pretty much just came out and said, hey,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: we are tanking. We are tanking. We're all about the tank,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: and the NBA decided, eh, you know, we don't really
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: like the optics on that. So the NBA kicked off
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the All Star Break. There's some games on Thursday, but
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: not many. It was really the All Star festivities beginning
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: on Friday. It's influencer All Star weekend, so let me
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: know how that goes. But the NBA kicking off the
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: All Star break by finding the Utah Jazz half a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: million dollars five hundred thousand dollars. The Indiana Pacers got
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: dinged one hundred thousand. The league use some weasel, weasel language,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: weasel language. Both teams ended up sitting healthy players in
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: recent games, and the NBA said that the moves compromised
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the integrity. When's the last time the NBA had integrity? Yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I'm asking for a friend or go the NBA. What
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they didn't just come out and say is the Jazz
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: and Pacers are tanking games and they want a better
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: chance to win the draft lottery. And there was a
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: statement prepared statement by the Lizard person Adam Silver, who said,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: overt behavior like this that prioritizes draft position over winning
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: undermines the foundation of NBA competition. Oh, it's been going
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: on for twenty five years more than that probably, and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Silver continued to saying we will respond accordingly to any
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: further actions that compromise the integrity of our games. We've
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: had an NBA coach tossed out for gambling this year,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: We've had players taken out for gambling. You've got teams tanking,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and Adam Silver in mid February is like, we will
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: not we will not do anything. Our integrity matters. That's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: so good, it's so great, all right. So anyway, question,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: does this Adam Silver punishment against the Jazz and the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Pacers tanking games? Does it? It doesn't work as a
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: wake up call for teams trying to lose. Okay, So
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: if you think Adam Silver, this little slap on the
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: wrist is going to stop the NBA's race, not the
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: race for the gold medal, not the race for the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: finish line, the race to the bottom, then I have
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: a really, really nice bridge that goes all the way
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: over the Great Salt Lake, and I'll sell that to you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Now you want to wake up. This isn't a siren.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: This is the snooze button, the snooze option. Now for
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the Jazz and the Pacers tanking, this is just the
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: cost of doing business. So you got fined five hundred
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: grand or one hundred thousand dollars. Okay, fine, it's the
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: conival of stupidity, is what it is. And that's today's NBA.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: You got Will Hardy Will I don't even know his name.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: I guess the coach of the Jazz who practically held
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: up a sign saying we're losing on purpose because he
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: was asked why he didn't put his two best players
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: back in the game in a game a few days ago,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and we're not doing that. Wasn't even considering that. So
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Silver responds and he fined the Jazz. These guys have
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: no shame in their game. They don't. Have you seen
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards by the way they're doing it? Also,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: oh my god, they're so bad. And it's this mind
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: virus that has continued for me any many years. It's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: right in the same family of viruses with load management,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: which is also a terrible virus. The participation trophies, all
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Now, what is my evidence? Both the Jazz
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: and the Pacers made trades for players that we've heard of, right,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Utah traded for Jaron Jackson from Memphis, and Indiana grabbed
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Iviza zubots from the Clippers. These are real players like
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: these are legitimate NBA players, Well, it turns out they're
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: just hood ornaments because Jackson has already been shut down
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: for surgery, and Zubots, who was playing every game for
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: the Clippers, got to India and suddenly he's a ghost.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: He can't play. I don't even played for a game
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in a game yet. For the Pacers haven't played yet.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And so they're treating these established players like inventory in
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: a warehouse. And for what if you look at the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty six draft and you're looking at who's the
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: top couple players Darren Peterson to Kansas and aj De
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Bonza of BYU are the top suspects in the next
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: draft lottery. But let's be real, like, neither one of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: these guys is the second coming.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: We're burning the house down for a couple of maybe stars,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: maybe stars. And so my advice the NBA they need
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to stop rewarding the bottom feeders. And it's always annoyed
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: me this setup, because like, why would you rewarding competence? Seriously,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you want to fix the league, Just get whoever wins
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the championship gets the number one pick. Do that for
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: ten years or five years or whatever. And just say,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you know what, figure it out. You bad teams, figure
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: it out. And I used to do rants regularly about relegation,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: which they have in European soccer, and boy, that would
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: be great. Will never happen in American sport. But that's
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: one thing they are much better at in Europe than
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: they are in the United States. Imagine if you were
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: actually punished for being bad at your job and not rewarded,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: because you're rewarded right now, right if you're really really bad,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: you get a couple extra bouncy ping pong balls and
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: you're you're in good shape there. So force the bad
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: teams to actually figure things out in the old fashioned
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: way rather than just channeling the Washington generals and praying
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: for the lottery gods to smile upon them. It is

  Speaker 1: Steve does not work like ice cube and smoke. All right,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: you Feeme in Chicago, writes in. He says, mallor eight
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: plus plus and some chicken Teraoki. That sounds pretty good.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: On the monologue, my services were no longer required for days,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: so here I am iceman. Well, it's good to have

  Speaker 1: Gunner from the Walmart in Northern Minnesota's checking in and

  Speaker 1: he had a hot take on the NBA lottery wheel.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: The Baltimore media freeloader account right since says the Wizards
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: are great. They got Trey Young and Anthony Davis. I'm
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: gonna give that monologue a D minus, just like their participation.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: We will sit this one out. Hashtag street clothes Yeah,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: that's another one. The Wizard traded for Anthony Davis and
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: he immediately decided, I'm good, I'm gonna go on vacation.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I'll have a medical thing, don And that's it. Not
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: a Burner writes in and says, Steven Manhattan's new theory
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: is that the missing Guthrie woman is behind being held
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: captive inside James Harden's beard. That's that's it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: No, have you ever seen a photo bed You might
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: be able to fiddle grown woman in there.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If you've ever seen photos of James Hard when
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: he played at Arizona State without a beard, there's a
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: good reason the man has a beard. I mean, that
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: is a that is solid. And if he wants to
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: go incognito in the off season, just shave the beard
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: off and he will scare women and children. Yeah, yes,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: not and the othersten I know, I know. Yeah, Clint
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: writes in and says Harden is the blueprint on how
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: to be a salamander, along with being a mind virus
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to the NBA. Well, thank you for listening to the monologue. Clint.
• 26:06

  Speaker 1: writes in and he is. I guess he's just checking in.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: You know. Some of the boys like to just check in.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Some of the guys just like to let us know, Hey,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: I'm listening. I'm out there. Eight seven seven ninety nine
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: on Fox is the number. Ferg Dog rights in says
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: it's a big time stockbroker, we bowls. He must have.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Their services are like a cheat code for the market.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I recommend we bowl to all my wanna be stockbroker friends.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: We are very kind there, Ferg Dog a great engagement
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: there with the sponsor WE Bowl, which is a fine,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: fine advertiser here on the Ben Malor Show. So we
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: we like gambling, right, We dabble in the gambling world
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: here where we're not against it. Everything in modern and
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: so we don't mind it. Wild story though, some of
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: you boys get a little too invested in the gamp
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a little to invest in the gambling.
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: Why do you say that, Ben?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Well, thanks for asking, Lorena. Because there is a claim
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: being made by an NBA player for the Rockets the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Houston rock Cats, Fred van Vliet, who played in Toronto.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Fred van Vliet claimed recently that he was confronted by
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: a better, and it was in a very odd location.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: He was not expecting to be confront He thought this
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: was like a safe space where he would not be
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: in any kind of danger in being confronted by a better.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: So you want to take a guess here, Let's see,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: we'll go around the room with a little round robin.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: We like the round robin right now, we'll do a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: little round robin. So Fred van Vliet, pro bouncy ball player,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: confronted by an angry better at a place he thought
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: he would be okay at. He didn't think he would
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: be in any trouble. You want to take a shot.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You want to take a guest here?
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: What do you I'm gonna guess he was in the bathroom.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: In the bathroom, all right, it's a fine guess. In
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the bathroom. You think no one would bother you when
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: you're in there taking care of business. Coop, you want
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to take a shot here? Fred van Vliet says he
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: was confronted by a better and a very odd location,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: something he did not expect. M do do do do oh?
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Apparently apparently my mi wa I had him pushed down.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I was I thought I was getting ghosted by Coop.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I thought he just chose to want to play, Okay,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I said the d m V. The d m V,
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: all right, yeah, Actually, do you think he actually has
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: to go to the d m V. The only have
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: like special things for people. There's considered things. Uh no.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: A Fred van claimed that he was confronted by an
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: angry better during a church service. Okay, give it to God.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Van Vliet said on some podcast, the internet don't bother me.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: He said, it's the in person one you gotta be
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: careful for. I had somebody run down on me in
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: church and then he used the N word. He said,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: N word. You ft up my parlay in church and
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: a guy has said he had a three thousand dollars
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: And then I didn't explain exactly how Van Vliet screwed
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: up the parlay. I assume he didn't make enough baskets
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: and the team lost there. So it's pretty good. Now
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: you think that guy confronted Van Vliet and then right
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: to confessional. Is that the move like, hey, you know, father,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I have sinned. I just punched Fred Van Vliet in
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the in the tabernacle. Yeah, well, of course a guy
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: like that, he's not a superstar Fred van Vliet, But
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: he's made a lot of money. And for him, you know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: he probably wipes his tuck us with three thousand dollars.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: But for that guy at church, three grand, that's games.
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: Listen, if you ain't got three grand to throw away,
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: don't throw it away. You are not playing. You have
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: no idea how these players are.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Going to do well. It's easier for you to say, Lorena,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: but that's not the real world.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: I would never gamble three thousand dollars. I would never
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: gamble gamble three hundred dollars. Make better life choices, my guy.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't. I don't have a problem with gambling.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: You just have to You have to budget, like know
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: that you're going to lose more more likely than not,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: like the guys that go into it thinking they're gonna win. Like,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: you can do okay if you're selected, But very few
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: people can be selective. Very few people can can go
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: weeks without betting, just kind of picked random spots. And
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: if you can do that, you got a decent chance
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: of success. But to give you an idea of how
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: ridonculous I was gonna mention this later in the show,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: but I guess We'll just get to it right now
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: because it's it's kind of what we're talking about. One
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: of the most legendary gamblers in terms of entertainment has
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: apparently put the Kebash on the gambling and no more gambling.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: And this guy who is synonymous with wagering large amounts
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: of money, massive amounts of money on sporting events, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: I am referring to Drake. Do you see this Drake
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Drake has said that he is stepping away from sports betting.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Oh really, that's what he claimed? Now what caused Drake
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: to stop betting on m What do you think here?
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I bet he lost another mill.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: He bet one million dollars on the New England Patriots
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: to win Super Bowl sixty eight. Lost one million dollars.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: The game was not even close. Dude lost a million bucks.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And uh. He then shared the Is he still rapping?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Is he still working? I don't know.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: I think Ken Kendrick put him out of business. But
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: when I went to a strip club last month, he
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: was on every like three songs.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Oh he was okay, so it's still popular with it.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: Were you at a strip club last month? Is that right? Yeah?
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: I had breakfast at a strip club it was nice.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, good food. Yeah, he went for the food absolutely.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: So he said he's off sports betting, Drake. He's not
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: gonna stop gambling, of course, he's just gonna play casino games. Yeah,
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: good luck on that. The number one money maker for
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the casinos. You know what it is. It's not craps,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: it's not black jack, it's not poker, it's the penny slots. Really,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: they make more money off the penny slots at the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: casinos than they do any other game. And it's by
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a wide margin. Yeah, by far.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: That's why when you join the Players Club, you get
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: the most reward points or comps when you play the slots.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why they have so many slot machines when
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: you go to a casino, because they that's where they
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: make their money. And it's really kind of false advertising too. Right,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: you say penny slots, you can't really bet just a penny, right,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: you're betting, you know, you bet more than that per
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: these days.
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: It's like minimum, like fifty sixty cents per pole almost.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so you're not. Yeah, I have some relatives
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: that are really into the slot machines, like that's that's
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: their thing, and I've had to bite my tongue because
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be a douche, you know, and
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: point out that you're you know, that's where they make
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the most money. They don't want to hear that, you know.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And then you go in there and you see the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: like the old the women who are doing like the
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: religious signs on the slot machine before they hit the bike.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I love that they're tapping and the screen making a
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: cross across the green like, okay, Grandma, come on, babushka.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: It's not it's gonna work. I mean, I love you,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: but probably not gonna gonna work out for you. I'm
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: just saying, that's great. Oh man, all right, let's let's
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: take a call. Let's go to John in the Valley
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: of the Sun. He's wrapped up in a twelve flag
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: right now. He's smiling from ear to ear. He's all excited.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Look at this man. Hello, what's going on? John? Hey?
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Benny?
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: I decided it right back right to say, I won't
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: write you back. Hey, Yeah, I called two we can
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: right for the super Bowl. And you're like, you know what,
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: you're like the Vikings fan I hear from you, Smucks,
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: I won't call back well, so we won, all right,
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: I'm not going to gloat. I won't gloat, but well, no, no, no.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: The test was if they had lost, calling back, Calling
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: back when the team wins is expected. That's standard operating
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: procedure in these parts. That's yeah, in the I believe
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: in the multiverses, you know, And there is a dimension
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: where Seattle lost the game and we would not have
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: talked again. But since since day one, I fully expected
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: you to be called. I thought you would have called
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: in a couple of days ago. I'm surprised that you waited.
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: Well again, with the daylight savings time, I'm sitting here
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: calling yet one in the morning. I stayed up. I
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: stayed up to make this phone call, then hanging out
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: to call.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that quiet. Is quite one? Is not
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: quite one yet? And you gonna wait till? Was it
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: next month? The time change in March? I think it's
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: in March. Right.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Here's my point, here's what I want to get at it.
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: I was looking at the cap space for your rams
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: versus the Seahawks. You guys have got a forecast in
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: cap space of forty to forty eight million. The Seahawks
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: have got sixty five to seventy five million. I'm telling
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: you it's a Seahawks dynasty going for the next.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Five we go, here we go, here, we go. All right, Yeah,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: you're talking. You understand you're talking. You're talking to the
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: wrong guy, Like I am not. I don't sour capus
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: bull crap. This was a fluke for Seattle. They're not
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: going to win again. But listen, if you want to
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: believe that I have more power to you, you should
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: believe that this is uh you know, this was a
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: mediocre year in the NFL and Seattle one. Congratulations. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: don't think you're going to get that kind of help
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: from the referees next year where they just give you
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: two points. I don't think that's gonna happen. Now. If
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: that happens again, okay, sure you got a good shot
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to come back and win, but I wouldn't count on that.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: So I thank you.
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: I listened to you every night, But like, thank you.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: You kicked the Patriots to beat the Seahawks, Like, how
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: can I trust your picks in the future. They were
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: so undermatched, they had no shot.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: They're undermatched, Yes, zero shot, that is correct. I agree,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I agree. If you get one opinion, wrong. You should
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: never listen again. I think you should not listen ever again.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I agree with you were out of that pick. What's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: it out of my mind on that pick? The page
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: paid terribly that day. But you know they play ten times.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: The Patriots probably win five of the ten games. They
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: just happened to lose that game.
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: They win again, maybe one against the Seahawks. Seahawks roster
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: was to stop.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: They got sliced deep their defense.
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: Drink and like, like, seriously, you.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Won what you're really pressing your luck here? I'm not impressed.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: They won. The Rams kicked their ass and and to
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: to the last two times they played.
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: Twice twice in a fan.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Know you the referees gave you one of those games.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: But I said, you don't understand you obviously you're you're delusional,
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and that's what happens. Iry, I gotta go here, go
