  Speaker 2: bouncy ball hour on the podcast. No NBA Finals game
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: to break down last night, but instead we can goof

  Speaker 2: on the low ratings the thunder Pacers NBA Finals Game two,
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: the lowest TV ratings in almost a generation.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you?

  Speaker 2: Also, SGA and the Thunder are listed as a five
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and a half point road favorite in tonight's Game three
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. How do you process that? And Shaquille O'Neal's
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: podcast sidekick someone named Adam Lefko. We're not sure who
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: that is, but he suggested a cell phone ban in
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: NBA crowds. Is this forward thinking or totally off the rails?
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: We'll go there as well, and we'll do it right
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: now here. It is our number two. Is it getting
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: better or is it getting worse? That's the question.

• 1:02

  Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere.

• 1:34
  Speaker 2: of our punches. You're not supposed to do that hanging
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: out here at the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: by Nick in Nebraska. I met Nick at the Kansas
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: City mallord meet and greet we did last year, and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Nick and his son came down. It was nice to
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: meet both of them, and Nick informed me he's a mailman.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: He said, he's sleeping, but he will hear this on
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the podcast later on.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He's not listening live, but he will hear this on
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the podcast.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: This portion of the Ben Mathershow made possible in part
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: by our friends at ty Iraq.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, ty Iraq.
• 2:06

• 2:08

  Speaker 2: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: tire installation, tire rac dot com, The Way Tire Buying
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: show me. So our lead this hour is from the NBA.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Did you see that game last night? Oh my god?
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What a game? Complete lockdown. SGA did not score.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Indiana has solved the puzzle they stopped. The MVP of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the NBA didn't score basket. Well, the reason I know
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: they didn't play. I know they didn't play. That's the point.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: The furlough continues on the NBA Finals. So we asked
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the question now that we've had a little more time.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Great Game one ending Indiana came back, they won, game won,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: So then Oklahoma City came back in one.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Game two. The report card is out on game number.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Two of the NBA Finals. So did it get better
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: or did it get worse? Did it get better, did
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it get worse? Did it stay the same? Did you
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: see this? No, you didn't see this?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Good buckle up, bukaroo. So Game two, which was a
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: route or route depending on how you learned how to
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: speak the language. NBA Finals, the Thunder and the Pacers,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that was back on Sunday night, big TV night.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Remember they waited till Sunday to play that game.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: They played Thursday, took off Friday, could have played on Saturday,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: but they played on Sunday because this was big television night.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: So clearly people wanted to watch, and that drew less
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: than nine million people. A couple hundred million people live
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: in the United so three hundred million people live in
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the United States and.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Less than nine million.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Wow, lowest for a Game two in the Finals in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: almost twenty years, so almost a generation, eighteen years. You
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: got to go back there, and that doesn't count. Like
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: the COVID stuff doesn't count because they were playing as
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: we pointed out, the Laker Championship doesn't count because they
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: were playing games at a at Mickey Mouse Land in Orlando,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: and so that doesn't count.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: This year's Game two, the viewership saw a drop of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: thirty percent thirty percent from last year's matchup between the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: They lost thirty percent.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: If you're a major business and you lose thirty percent
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of your customers, there is panic at the disco. You
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: have lost thirty percent of your business. And that happened.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So let us discuss the question. The thunder Pacers NBA
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Finals Game two lowest TV and almost a generation.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What does that tell you?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: So I've got culinary rebellion, double dog Dare, and lifeblood,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we're gonna put them into a casse role and we're
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: gonna glow while the moon is bright.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: We're gonna glow while the moon is bright.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: As opposed to making hay when the sun's up, because
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: we can't make hay when the sun's up because we're.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: At night, so we have to glow while the moon
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: is bright.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: So number, why the number wa This is more than
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: a whisper, like a whispers ah, you know, it's just
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: a whisper.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Game one that was not great, but this really is
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: for me. Two words, puffy sticker. That is a puffy sticker.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: We get a puffy sticker. Hot take validation, Hot take validation.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Now I ranted and raved like a lunatic because the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: company pays me to do that. And I was ranting
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: about the NBA Finals. I said, oh, this is terrible
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: and I was gonna watch blah blah. So I got
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: a couple of emails, both both of them from Oklahoma
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: City related. I don't know if they're in Oklahoma City,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: but they're Oklahoma fans. I assume they're in Oklahoma. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: both of them were complaining about how this is great
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: for the NBA and you're wrong. You're just a big
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: city guy in LA and you represent the coast, the
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: West coast, and you probably represent the East coast. This
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: is one guy in particular. Mike was his name or
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: is his name? I assume it's still his name. I
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: don't think he's changed his name since he sent me
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: an email about ten days ago. And Mike was ranting
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and he's like, oh, yeah, typical media. Trust me, I'm
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: not typical media. I'm on Overnight. We're not in mainstream anyway.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I think I was ranting and complaining and he was.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I felt when I was. I didn't read the whole thing,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: because why would I, but I felt it was it
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: was therapeutic from like the thunderfan and it's weird. Kyrie
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: is the only thunder fan that I really knew of
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: until until the finals, and now there's like a couple
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: others that are popular. Anyway, the point is this guy
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: was complaining, like, oh, you know, you're wrong and people
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: love basketball and it's not just the stars and all
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: that stuff, and this finals will prove it and you're
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: wrong and you'll apologize and okay, well we're two games in.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: The casual fans have voted with their eyeballs, and they
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: have voted with their remote controls, They have voted with
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: their streaming services, and they ain't interested. Okay, they're not
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the hot take. That hot take is aging quite well.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: That is a solid take. That is not like bread,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: that is like honey. That is a solid take there,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and it's good. Discerning customers of pro bouncy ball drive
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a hard bargain. They don't want this. You're selling a product.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: They don't want it. They're not interested in it. And
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: the NBA for years has had an old family recipe
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: that has been passed down from generations.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: It's worked for the most part.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: There have been years it doesn't work, but for the
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: most part, it's star power. It's entertainment. You're selling entertainment here.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And the recipe has always been equal parts big market.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You can have a small market, but you gotta have
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: one big market, and there's a big market.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You gotta have a rivalry.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: That really helps the whole rating situation gets people joned up.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You gotta have a storyline. People love stories. Everyone loves
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: a story, right. We all learn from stories. The stories
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: are important, so you love a storyline. The new recipe
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that the people over the NBA have cooked up. They
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: changed the salary cap rules a couple years back, which
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: helped facilitate what we're getting right now.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Pacers and thunder.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I'm convinced without those salary cap regulations, we would not
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: have this matchup in the NBA Finals.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: That's my hot take on that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Nonetheless, the new recipe is a classic tale of a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: culinary rebellion gone wrong. They changed the recipe. Nobody wanted
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the recipe change. So the other night they showed the stars.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: They love to show stars at NBA games because for
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: years that's what they've done. There have been big stars
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: from entertainment that had been in these games. And so
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: the NBA Finals Game one, they showed Adam Silver.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He was the big star.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And I think in Game two they had Chris Paul
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: because he used to play in Oklahoma City and those
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: are the biggest celebrities in Oklahoma. You talk about glitz
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and glamor lizard person Adam Silver sitting at your game.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: So listen, the NBA rolled the dice. They rolled the dice,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: two small market teams and propping up Tyrese Halliburton and
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: SGA and these guys.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And guess what the numbers came up? Snake gyes. They
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: got snake guys in this.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: And when it comes to National Appeal, two games in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: crickets and not Jiminy Crickets, just crickets. The league banking
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: on that Tyrese Hallip Burton game winner in Game.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: One, his heroics to put some juice.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Into this NBA Finals to get the ratings up for
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, but instead Game two dropped.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: How low can you go? The ratings went down?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: That is very rare that that happens, very rare that
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a game to game gets worse in the NBA, especially
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: with a close game, buzzer beater, all that stuff. Now,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: listen obviously had the blowout factor in game two. Normally, though,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: you build up. It's kind of like doing a radio show,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: and not to let you know how we make the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: hot dogs around here, but you you start out with
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: a smaller audience and then you grow the audience. And
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: it's also like a relay race, right every show's passing
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the audience on to the next show. And that's kind
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: of how that that all works. But the Thunder they
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: ran away with that game Game two. It was a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: blowout city and America checked out, not that they ever
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: tuned in, but those that did tune in said, by
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: no drama, you had no intrigue, You had a glorified
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: scrimmage and a major vote of no confidence to Tyreese
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Halliburton and Shay Jogis Alexander and their star power. And
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: so Oklahoma and Indiana got together.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: They barely cracked nine million. Actually it was less than that.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I was eight.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: The actual number was eight point seven million, So less
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: than nine million. And that one of the least watched
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: finals games in modern history.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And so there we are now turning the page.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: As for the basketball, which Mike from Oklahoma and several
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: other of you said, it's really about the basketball. As
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: we found out in the NBA Finals, there really aren't
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: that many pure basketball fans that love the way that
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: thunderplay and the Pacers.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: There's not that many of them. People don't tune in
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: for that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: That's just the way it is. Anyway, let's get to
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: the point, please, so you break it down go point
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: by point of this. But as for the basketball, you've
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: got SGA and the Thunder who are listed as a
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: five and a half point betting favorite on the road
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for Game three.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Which is on Wednesday night.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: So how do you process that Oklahoma City as a
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: road favorite by over five five and a half. So,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Shay Juggas Alexander is playing like he's possessed, right, That's
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the first thing. He's playing very well former Clipper. That's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: what former Clippers do. They play very one in the finals.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: He's averaging thirty six points a game in the first
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: two on average in Oklahoma City, getting close to a
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: touchdown touchdown six points, so you're getting almost a touchdown
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: head start and you got.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: To win by that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: In Indiana, they are zero to three this postseason. In
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the third game of playoff series, they're oer and two
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: at home. So that doesn't bode well if you play trends. Now,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: the gambling market. What the gambling market is doing here
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: is they are issuing to joe the better. They are
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: issuing a double dog. Dare I double dog? Dare you
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: to take the Indiana Pacers at home? To throw some
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: shekels on Indiana? Now, there is one trend. If you're
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: someone that plays trends, I like trends, but I know
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: that tells you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: But if you play trends here, there's one trend that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: does say that Tyrese Haliburton and friends are at least
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: worth a shot what is it. So Oklahoma City has
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: had absolute futility in one area, one area against the spread.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: They've had futility here, and that is away from home.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: The Thunder have started the playoffs, they played seven road
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: games as they are in the NBA Finals now seven
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: road games and they are oh in seven against the spread.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: So that means if you blindly bet on whoever was
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: playing the Thunder when the Thunder were on the road,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you would have won all seven of your's against the spread. Now,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: it is also interesting to node that despite that oh
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to seven against the number, which means you're not living
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: up to expectations, the Thunder have a winning record straight up,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: so they've won four of those games straight up. But
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the gambling market's a little different, and they were the
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: first team to lose. Oklahoma said, this is a fun fact.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: By the way, I got to mix in a fun factor.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: So the Thunder were the first team to lose six
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: consecutive playoff road games against the spread since the Doc
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Rivers coach Boston Celtics of eight man. When you're in
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: the same class as a Doc Rivers coach team, that
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: is not good. You've done something wrong. You've done something wrong. Now,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: that team, that Boston team with Paul Pierce and Garnett
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: and those guys. That Celtic team was owen six against
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: the spread on the road to start the playoffs that year.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: They then went five to one against the number. The
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: rest of that player off run and they ended up
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: winning a ring championship. Ring all right, Now, final point,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: we pivot to the experience. It's all about the experience.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know if.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: You've ever been to an NBA game, I don't know
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: if you've ever been no sporting Maybe you have, maybe
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: you haven't. A few back in the day, maybe you
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: went to a few. So on the latest episode of
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Shack's fledgling podcast, that's not the name of it, but
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know the name, but it so Shack doesn't podcast.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Everyone's got one, I've got one. You probably have two podcasts.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Blian Emma's got a podcast. Everyone's got so. Anyway, on
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Shack's podcast, his subordinate someone named Adam Lefko. We're not
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: sure who that is, but apparently he's, you know, like
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: somebody that massages shacked shoulders.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: So this guy, Adam Lefko.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Is the name, and this cat suggested that the NBA
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: needs to say bye bye to cell phones. They need
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to ban fans from using cell phones at games. That
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: he wants all eyes on the court. This was the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: hot talk on the Shack podcast. So he wants it
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: to be like you're in Augusta, Georgia. If you've ever
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: watched The Masters, they give you cheap food. You are
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: not allowed to have a.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Phone at the Masters.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: You cannot do it right, cell phone free territory and
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: all that stuff.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: And so he said, when the Masters is coming to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: an end.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: The crowd there is all engaged and they're going nuts
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and they're paying attention. It's not like that at the NBA.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: So he wants a strict no phone policy.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: So we'll use that as a jumping off point.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: And the question Shacks podcast his Shaquille and you know,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: his sidekick there suggesting a cell phoned ban ban ban
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: ban And for NBA crowds, is this forward thinking or
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: totally off the rails? That's the question. Is it forward
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: thinking or totally off the rails? So this is a
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: full classic steam engine locomotive, true.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Kaboom off the tracks derailment. Derailment.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Now, I will admit it is rather annoying when you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: see a big moment at a sporting event, and what
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: do you.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: See the crowd doing.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when Lebron James past best Kareem Abdul
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Jabbar for the all time points record in the NBA
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: and they had a shot of behind the basket the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: other basket and Lebron making the shot, and what was
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: ninety nine point nine percent of the crowd doing.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I'll I'll do. I know it's radio, but I'll show
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: you here. What they did is they were doing that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: They did the statue of liberty. They were doing that.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: They did the statue of liberty, had the phone out
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and they were like Lady Liberty and they were holding
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: their arm up.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Give me Liberty, or give me this clip that no
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: one will ever watch, but I'm gonna record it rather
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: than watch it with my balls. And I remember that
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: photo was an iconic photo because everyone had their phone out.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: The only one that didn't was the guy Phil Knight
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: from Nike and whoever he was with. Other than that,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: everyone had their phone out. They wanted to not watch
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: it with their own eyes. They wanted to record it
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: on their phone so they could go viral. Because there's
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: nineteen thousand people recording it on the phone. So I
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: don't like it, but I also realized that we live
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: in the modern world and this is the world that
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: we're in, and you cannot The NBA is impossible.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It is an impossible situation.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: You're not at a comedy club, chuckles, comedy club, no phones,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: You can't record because you're recording, you're actually practicing for
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: some HBO special. It's not that you're not at a concert.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: It's not that it's not some kind of court deposition
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: where you can't have your phone.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: It's good luck, all right, good luck.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: And by the way, the fans not being into the game,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: if that's the complaint because they're on the phone, will
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: make your product more compelling, make your product better. How
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: about load management goes away? How about not nineteen instant
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: replay reviews every quarter? And a guy complained about that
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: earlier and the other issue, And I don't know how
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: you get around this one, even if you wanted to
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: get rid of the phone thing. The NBA is a
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: product designed for the phone. They have built the modern
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: business model on the phone. The lifeblood. The am I
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: wrong on the lifeblood of the NBA And The reason
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that they think they matter is because of the phone.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: It's video clips on the TikTok, it's court side selfies
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: with celebrities, it's sizzle reels.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: On the gram like. It's all that stuff. That's why
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: they can't possibly get.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Rid of the phone, right, You're going to take all
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: that stuff away and it's not going to change now.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I had an idea a couple of years ago, and
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I said, well, why don't they just put those blockers
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: up so nobody has cell reception.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: But that wouldn't matter. There's a beach I go.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: To here in southern California, and during the day they'll
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know how they do it, but they put
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: something up they can't use your cell phone. It like
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: blocks cell reception, so you just have to enjoy the beach.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: And my wife loves going there. I hate it because
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I can't be on my phone, and she loves it
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: because I can't be on my phone, but we go
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: there a lot and I don't know how they do it,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: but then at night they turn whatever device they use off.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: It's probably not that complicated, and then you can use
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: your phone because the sun's down and can't really see
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: much at the beach at night, and so that's that.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: So there are.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Always do it, but it doesn't matter because people just
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: want to record the video, so they'll upload it later.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: They'll put it on social media later.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: So even if you block the if you block the
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: cell then and so they couldn't get on the social media,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: they still do it later. So it's like big deal,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: you're not going to stop that problem. And the other
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: thing is enforcement, like how do you enforce it? Like
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: most teams now they don't use paper tickets. You have
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to actually use your phone to get in. So they're
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: begging for attention from young people who all the young
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: people do is on your phone.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: I hold people on the phone too.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: So they want to go to the old I guess
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: they say homage, but it's.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Really the old order Mennonite.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: The Mennonites are the ones that don't use the technology, right,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: the real Mennonites, they're the ones. And so bring back
• 21:32

• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Thunder the casuals are not watching and there's not, enough
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: not enough hardos to. Watch there was an interesting report
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: that came down On tuesday night late that The New York,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: knickerbockers who pole Axed Tom thibodeau The knicks requested permission
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: to talk to The Minnesota timberwolves Coach Chris, finch we,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: learned and Also rockets Coach Emy, udoka the Former celtic.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Coach they were, like, hey maybe we'll hire one of
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: these guys and they can coach The.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Knicks but they weren't. Denied they were giving the. Mutombo
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: they were. Blocked so.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: At this point had been blocked and they're like trying
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to find a code. Now Sham's sharania says that The
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: knickerbockers have not have not requested permission from The dallas
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Mav rex to Get Jason kidd at this by just
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: say and supposedly The mavericks would reject. Him but to,
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: me that's bull. Crap and here's, Why LIKE i know
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: from being around over the, years the way these things normally,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: work they're being negotiated right. Now it's being done through
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: back channels and dark, alleys and this stuff is being
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: figured out behind the. Scenes, now the fact that The
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: knicks did not plan this, out you, know they.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Didn't they didn't plan on Firing Tom.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Thibodeau this was a rash decision in my analysis By James.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Dolan and so now they're scrambling and all.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: That but they will go through intermediaries and talk To
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Jason kidd and, say all, right do you want you
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: want The nick?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Job we'll pay you this, much we'll pay you more,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: money but you got to live In New York.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: AND i know you don't want to want to do,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: that but we'll pay the. Money and and so then
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: it's up To Jason kidd whether or not he wants.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: That and if he says, YES i want the, job
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: he then tells The MAVERICKS i don't want to be
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: your coach.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Anymore and then then they work out of. Trade that's
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the way it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Works As Mike tomlin likes to, SAY i want, volunteers not.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Hostages so If Jason kid's, like he's going to have
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: to be the one that's a douche and say he
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: doesn't want to coach The mavericks. Anymore and then the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: problem is you've got to make sure The knicks are
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: going to hire, you because if you tell the team.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You're working, FOR i don't want to work for, you.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Anymore you're. Screwed if The knicks, say, psych we're not
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: going to hire.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: You let's go to the. Phones tony is in The Bay.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Area what's going, On tony, Welcome hey.

• 25:54
  Speaker 2: had a contest to come up with prop bets for
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: The Super, bowl and we submitted some props and we. Won,
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: yeah we won a couple of, times a couple of different.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Years we, won and they donated a few hundred dollars to.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Cancer there was a cancer not, awareness because that's that's a.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Crap if you hear, awareness that's a weasel. Term so
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: the people in the charity can fly private planes and
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: run up. Expenses it's it's research that needs the. Money
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and so, yeah we found a place back In New
