Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number two. Our number two
0:07
Speaker 1: is ready for you. And we go to Denver where
0:12
Speaker 1: if you like bricks and missed layups and jump shots,
0:17
Speaker 1: this was the game for you. How concerned should the
0:20
Speaker 1: Nuggets be with the struggles though of Nikola Jokic, as
0:23
Speaker 1: he said three stinkers in a row? Also, was it
0:27
Speaker 1: dangerous and unfair of the NBA to have the Thunder
0:31
Speaker 1: and Nuggets play the early game on Mother's Day?
0:35
Speaker 2: There are actually reports saying it was dangerous and unfair
0:39
Speaker 2: to play a basketball game.
0:41
Speaker 1: Also, where are things going for OKC at this point
0:44
Speaker 1: in time? Have they figured some magic formula out? We'll
0:47
Speaker 1: talk about that. And in baseball, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts
0:50
Speaker 1: defending Bud Black, who was bush whacked his manager in Colorado,
0:55
Speaker 1: saying that not even Casey Stangel could change the outcome
0:59
Speaker 1: for the Rockies. Begs of the question did Bud Black
1:02
Speaker 1: get a raw deal? We'll talk about that. All of
1:05
Speaker 1: it coming up right now here. It is our number two.
1:12
Speaker 2: A Rocky Mountain. Low. How low can you go? Wel come?
1:19
Speaker 2: In the beginning of another hour of The Ben Mather Show,
1:23
Speaker 2: we are.
1:23
Speaker 1: In the air everywhere, side by side, as when the
1:30
Speaker 1: world sleeps, we keep talking and talking and talking coast
1:36
Speaker 1: to coast, border to border and beyond on the mast
1:38
Speaker 1: and smashingly powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the drums,
1:47
Speaker 1: playing inside your ear drums, providing marginal sports talk radio
1:52
Speaker 1: all night long here from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,
1:56
Speaker 1: as approved.
1:58
Speaker 2: By Mark in.
1:59
Speaker 1: Queen means he approves that, and so does the real
2:03
Speaker 1: Martin at the airport in Denver, although he is boycotting
2:06
Speaker 1: this particular Mallard monologue. For forty years, ty Iraq has
2:10
Speaker 1: been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
2:13
Speaker 1: and where they drive, ship fast and freedback by free
2:16
Speaker 1: road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
2:20
Speaker 1: installation tire iraq dot com The way tire Buying show
2:25
Speaker 1: would be. So our lead this hour is from the
2:29
Speaker 1: pro Bouncy Ball World. Not a great game. It was
2:32
Speaker 1: the early game on the Mother's Day, the doubleheader action
2:36
Speaker 1: and how did it turn out?
2:38
Speaker 2: Well?
2:38
Speaker 1: If you enjoy missed jump shots, if you enjoy missed layups,
2:45
Speaker 1: it was a cornucopia of fun fun fun fun fun
2:49
Speaker 1: fun fun fun. So that is our lead here Game
2:53
Speaker 1: number four, that's right. Game four, Nuggets and Thunder Denver
3:00
Speaker 1: looking to take a three games to one lead over
3:03
Speaker 1: ok C put a choke hold on this series in
3:06
Speaker 1: the Western Conference semi finals. Okay see, trying to snake
3:10
Speaker 1: their way back even and get home court advantage back.
3:13
Speaker 2: Now, we were.
3:14
Speaker 1: Told after the Nuggets won on Friday they had the
3:17
Speaker 1: championship pedigree. That's the plays of a champion. H Yeah,
3:21
Speaker 1: we were told that. So they clearly must have won
3:24
Speaker 1: the game on Sunday. But that was the early game
3:26
Speaker 1: on Mother's Day there, and maybe you didn't watch it,
3:29
Speaker 1: and we did. It's our good mitzvah of the day.
3:32
Speaker 1: We did it for you. There was well, I could
3:36
Speaker 1: have watched baseball. There was some baseball games on.
3:38
Speaker 2: I may or may not have flipped over a couple.
3:42
Speaker 2: Just say it. I watched most of it.
3:45
Speaker 1: So Shay juggas Alexander nine of his twenty five points
3:50
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter.
3:51
Speaker 2: And you don't remember how you got there. You remember
3:54
Speaker 2: that you got there as the number one overall seed.
3:59
Speaker 1: The Thunder ninety two to eighty seven win in Game four,
4:04
Speaker 1: So okaysee Dodges a three to one sinkhole and instead
4:09
Speaker 1: Abra cadabra, hocus Pocus. The Thunder Kyrie's Thunder, not Kyrie
4:14
Speaker 1: Irving the other Kyrie. He lives in okac He's a
4:16
Speaker 1: big fan of the show. So his thunder are now
4:18
Speaker 1: even up to to Game five will be on Tuesday,
4:22
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, and so we have time to look at
4:25
Speaker 1: that now. As we were reminded last hour when Tyrese
4:28
Speaker 1: Halliburton of the Pacers pointed outunt that when the team loses,
4:32
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to talk. When they win, he's cool
4:35
Speaker 1: with talking. So the better story is in the losing
4:38
Speaker 1: locker room. So that is where we will go. That
4:40
Speaker 1: is where our focus will be in much of the
4:43
Speaker 1: conversation on the Joker.
4:46
Speaker 2: What has happened to the Joker? What has happened?
4:51
Speaker 1: Oh m gree the greatest player of this generation, grets
4:57
Speaker 1: big Man in the conversation with all time legends of
5:01
Speaker 1: the game, and he has been.
5:04
Speaker 2: Dreadful of late.
5:06
Speaker 1: So let us get into it the question how concerned,
5:10
Speaker 1: how concerned should the Nuggets be with Nikola Jokic at
5:15
Speaker 1: this point? So I've got Walmart Tears for Fears and
5:21
Speaker 1: Rumpel Stiltskin and we will combine all of these things together,
5:26
Speaker 1: and we are going to make rocky mountain oysters, which
5:30
Speaker 1: I had to eat.
5:30
Speaker 2: I lost to Bed.
5:31
Speaker 1: I think all the Nuggets players should have to eat
5:32
Speaker 1: rocky mountain oysters after that shooting performance.
5:35
Speaker 2: Holy crap. All right.
5:36
Speaker 1: So to answer the question, how concerned should the Nuggets
5:40
Speaker 1: be with Nikola Jokice on the patented Mallard scale of
5:47
Speaker 1: concern from one to ten Malar scale of concern from
5:52
Speaker 1: one to ten, with ten being you're smoking hookah with
5:56
Speaker 1: Luca out of the playoffs.
5:58
Speaker 2: That's the highest level.
6:00
Speaker 1: I am at an eight point oh eight point oh
6:06
Speaker 1: on the Malard scale of concern for Nikola Jokicic. And
6:09
Speaker 1: here's why they say that seeing is believing whoever they are,
6:14
Speaker 1: and we're not used to seeing what we're seeing from
6:18
Speaker 1: ni Kola Jokics.
6:19
Speaker 2: Here.
6:19
Speaker 1: Denver was up by eight points early in the fourth quarter.
6:23
Speaker 1: It was a disgusting offensive performance by both teams. More
6:27
Speaker 1: on that in a second, but they were up by eight.
6:28
Speaker 1: So if you saw the game, Denver was up seventy
6:30
Speaker 1: one to sixty three. Now, eight is not a game
6:33
Speaker 1: changing lead or anything like that. But you have an
6:36
Speaker 1: eight point lead, you're at home it's the fourth quarter.
6:39
Speaker 1: The final eleven minutes and twenty six seconds of that
6:43
Speaker 1: basketball game was the.
6:45
Speaker 2: Big bang, big clank.
6:47
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to call it. There now Nikola Jokic
6:50
Speaker 1: in particular, we're talking about him. The final eleven minutes
6:53
Speaker 1: of that game. He took seven shots, he only made
6:55
Speaker 1: two of them, and the Nuggets were outscored by thirteen
6:59
Speaker 1: points to close the game. Denver from an eight point
7:03
Speaker 1: lead to the end of the game shot less than
7:06
Speaker 1: thirty percent. They took twenty one shots. They missed a
7:11
Speaker 1: mind boggling fifteen of the twenty one. Not all of
7:14
Speaker 1: them were from three point range, although they really did
7:17
Speaker 1: suck from three point range. They took eleven three pointers
7:21
Speaker 1: up up eight to the end of the game. They
7:24
Speaker 1: made one. That is nine point one percent. Nine point
7:28
Speaker 1: one percent. So the Nuggets, what they did is they
7:30
Speaker 1: went to Walmart. They went down to Walmart and they
7:34
Speaker 1: bought some bicycle playing cards. They got those out and
7:39
Speaker 1: they built this house of cards. And then they pulled
7:42
Speaker 1: the joker out of the house of cards and the
7:44
Speaker 1: whole thing came tumbling down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down,
7:49
Speaker 1: down down down down. You get the point. Jokic. He
7:53
Speaker 1: looked frazzled. He played bedraggled. I've not seen him like
7:59
Speaker 1: this maybe when he was early in his career and
8:01
Speaker 1: nobody he was drafted, the famous story during a Taco
8:04
Speaker 1: bell commercial and nobody knew who he was, and people
8:07
Speaker 1: said he was going to be good in Denver and
8:08
Speaker 1: You're like, yeah, sure, he's gonna be good. Yeah, right,
8:10
Speaker 1: And but since he established himself, I cannot recall a
8:14
Speaker 1: stink bomb stretch of games this bat Now, we don't
8:17
Speaker 1: watch every Nuggets game, right, we pay attention to the playoffs.
8:20
Speaker 1: And this is brutal and so frazzled on the court.
8:24
Speaker 1: And that's what he looked like. And then the eyeball
8:27
Speaker 1: test confirmed that last three games, Nikola Jokic shooting thirty
8:32
Speaker 1: three point three percent half the Sign of the Devil,
8:35
Speaker 1: eighteen percent from three point range, which is dreadful, and
8:39
Speaker 1: he's got fifteen assists and sixteen turnovers combined in the
8:43
Speaker 1: last three games.
8:44
Speaker 2: Pay yeah, what stinks Now?
8:46
Speaker 1: That is the worst three game stretch shooting for Jokic
8:51
Speaker 1: in the last seven years. He is completely befuddled. But
8:55
Speaker 1: it's not because of anything Oklahoma City's doing. I'm not
8:59
Speaker 1: no notice it. Maybe I'm missing it, but if you
9:01
Speaker 1: can tell me he helped me out. I've not noticed
9:03
Speaker 1: anything that the Thunder are doing that is any different
9:08
Speaker 1: than the other teams are attempting to do. So this
9:11
Speaker 1: is more of a problem with Jokic and whether my
9:16
Speaker 1: theory is he just got worn down, it's really Zubots.
9:21
Speaker 1: The Clippers wore his ass down and they took it.
9:24
Speaker 1: Took so much effort to beat the Clips at Jokic.
9:28
Speaker 1: He's not in the greatest shape in the world and
9:31
Speaker 1: he's being exposed here. He's not in great physical condition,
9:34
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of extra time off, which is.
9:36
Speaker 2: Part of the deal.
9:38
Speaker 1: Right, He's running on fumes, there's a lot of miles
9:40
Speaker 1: on the car, and Zubots and the Clippers wore them out.
9:44
Speaker 1: Now the Thunder are benefiting yet again, another team benefiting
9:48
Speaker 1: from the generosity of the Clippers that they wore out.
9:52
Speaker 1: Zubots wore out Jokic, and now the team that benefits
9:56
Speaker 1: is Oklahoma City because of the Clippers yet again helping
10:00
Speaker 1: a team advance in the playoffs. Pathetic, all right, now,
10:03
Speaker 1: page two, So one of the great underlying storylines, if
10:08
Speaker 1: you will, I don't know if I'm saying that the
10:10
Speaker 1: right way. In this particular series, one of the great
10:12
Speaker 1: talking points is the amount of time between Game three
10:18
Speaker 1: and Game four or go. We had Jeff and Denver,
10:22
Speaker 1: that nugget lapdog who called up last hour, but about
10:25
Speaker 1: thirty six hours after the overtime Game three Friday night
10:30
Speaker 1: game which went to the Nuggets, they had the early
10:34
Speaker 1: television window on Mother's Day, and that robbed many media
10:39
Speaker 1: elites the wrong way. They were very upset. To you,
10:42
Speaker 1: the basketball media elites were offended their sensibilities.
10:46
Speaker 2: It's not fair. Oh my god.
10:51
Speaker 1: We had a reporter I've never heard of from the
10:52
Speaker 1: Athletic who said it was absolutely ridiculous of the NBA
10:57
Speaker 1: to have the series go every other day and then
11:00
Speaker 1: put Game four in the early portion of the Sunday schedule,
11:05
Speaker 1: having Game three is the late game on Friday. He
11:09
Speaker 1: added on quote, it's actually kind of dangerous. Now we looked,
11:15
Speaker 1: nobody died, so that's good.
11:16
Speaker 2: Weird.
11:16
Speaker 1: We made it through the game. No one dropped dead
11:19
Speaker 1: from playing in the game early on Mother's Day, so
11:22
Speaker 1: that's positive. Ze.
11:24
Speaker 2: You talk about risking your life, bro, I ain't playing.
11:27
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm risking my light. Bra it's Blake Snell.
11:31
Speaker 1: So Charles Barkley then chimed in on television and he
11:36
Speaker 1: got into the action. Sir Charles, who you would not
11:40
Speaker 1: expect this take like you would expect the opposite take.
11:43
Speaker 1: You would not expect this take from Charles Barkley. But
11:47
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley went on a rant on TNT. He said,
11:51
Speaker 1: I thought what the NBA did to the Nuggets was unfair.
11:57
Speaker 1: It was unfair, Barkley said, making them play late Friday
12:02
Speaker 1: night and then early afternoon, not on Saturday, mind you
12:06
Speaker 1: on Sunday. He said, So all right, let's break it
12:11
Speaker 1: down like this. So you have one reporter say it
12:13
Speaker 1: was dangerous, borderline danger actually kind of dangerous, kind of dangerous.
12:18
Speaker 1: A reporter said, you have Charles Barkley who said it's unfair.
12:22
Speaker 1: It's unfair of the NBA to have the Thunder and
12:26
Speaker 1: Nuggets play the early game on Sunday.
12:29
Speaker 2: So question question is is.
12:35
Speaker 1: This ridiculous as it sounds? This is insane to the membrane.
12:40
Speaker 1: To me, it is I just I don't I don't
12:44
Speaker 1: get it. They're playing basketball. They played forty eight minutes
12:48
Speaker 1: and they had to pay. Oh my God, they had
12:49
Speaker 1: to play overtime an extra few minutes. And they do
12:53
Speaker 1: that in the span of about two hours, right, two
12:56
Speaker 1: hours and forty minutes or whatever, it is less than that.
12:59
Speaker 1: Two twenty these games with all the TV timeouts and
13:02
Speaker 1: all the stoppages and all.
13:04
Speaker 2: That stuff, It's like, what are we doing? Seriously?
13:07
Speaker 1: Playoffs? I mean, I do not understand. It wasn't unfair.
13:13
Speaker 1: It was even both teams had to play the same schedule.
13:16
Speaker 1: The schedule is also made in advance. It's made, by
13:20
Speaker 1: the way for television. I'll make a deal with you.
13:22
Speaker 1: If these guys want, all these idiots in the media
13:25
Speaker 1: who are, by the way, making money because of this,
13:28
Speaker 1: why not just play. Have no television, have no media coverage.
13:32
Speaker 1: You can play whenever the f you want. How about that.
13:35
Speaker 1: Go out there and knock your lights out, play with.
13:37
Speaker 2: No one to watch. You're not gonna make any real money.
13:40
Speaker 1: Because it's all directed through television, all funnel through TV.
13:42
Speaker 1: But go out there, take a week off, play like
13:45
Speaker 1: the NFL. These NBA guys are such softies. Play once
13:48
Speaker 1: a week and you'll complain about that, goes, Oh, it's
13:52
Speaker 1: too demanding, so stupid, It is so ridiculous that we're
13:58
Speaker 1: at the point now where you had to you had
14:00
Speaker 1: a game on a Friday night, you had it Sunday,
14:02
Speaker 1: had Saturday off, and you had to play on Sunday.
14:07
Speaker 1: The game started at what one thirty local time? Oh
14:10
Speaker 1: my god, dangerous, unfair, dangerous.
14:17
Speaker 2: God. Do you imagine if.
14:19
Speaker 1: The like the military, approach things that way, like the
14:21
Speaker 1: you know, the Marines have the slogan embrace the suck.
14:24
Speaker 1: The NBA bitch about the suck. That's the NBA mantra.
14:28
Speaker 1: Complain about it, complain about it.
14:30
Speaker 2: Right.
14:31
Speaker 1: The they used to play back to backs in the
14:33
Speaker 1: NBA playoffs, Oh my god, horror of horrors, draconian, the
14:37
Speaker 1: Middle Ages.
14:39
Speaker 3: Uh.
14:39
Speaker 1: The NHL, which is a much more demanding, manly sport, hockey.
14:42
Speaker 1: We don't talk about it because you know, more people
14:44
Speaker 1: watch basketball, but it's much more demanding physically to play
14:47
Speaker 1: hockey than this basketball. And the NHL they, if I'm
14:51
Speaker 1: not mistaken, they go every other day, that's their schedule,
14:55
Speaker 1: every other day in the playoffs, every other day. But
14:58
Speaker 1: the NBA guys in the media that cover the NBA,
15:01
Speaker 1: the toll lickors. It's pathetic and wow, I mean so
15:06
Speaker 1: as far as where things are looking now for Oklahoma
15:09
Speaker 1: City at this particular point.
15:11
Speaker 2: Obviously they're looking up.
15:13
Speaker 1: I would say it's not anything that Oklahoma City is
15:15
Speaker 1: doing per se. I don't think they've found some cheat
15:18
Speaker 1: code to stop to call the Oakic again the War
15:21
Speaker 1: of Attrition, which is supposed to be part of this,
15:25
Speaker 1: that is supposed to be part of the deal, that
15:28
Speaker 1: it's the Tiers for Fear Song, War of Attrition that
15:32
Speaker 1: you are in this and the team that stands at
15:35
Speaker 1: the end is the one that survived the War of Attrition,
15:37
Speaker 1: the Tears for Fear Song. And right now Oklahoma City
15:42
Speaker 1: is even up with the Nuggets, and so we'll see
15:44
Speaker 1: who can win the last two of the last three games.
15:47
Speaker 1: But again, I don't think it's anything Oklahoma's doing that
15:50
Speaker 1: is great here. That's why they're in position. It was
15:53
Speaker 1: a tough afternoon for both teams. Oklahoma City shot thirty
15:58
Speaker 1: five percent and won the game because the Nuggets were worse.
16:03
Speaker 2: But it's not because they were good. They weren't good.
16:06
Speaker 1: They didn't shoot well from anybody twenty four percent from
16:09
Speaker 1: three point range. It's not like anyone did it in
16:11
Speaker 1: the first quarter. Was it was like a make a
16:15
Speaker 1: wish situation with these guys out there with both teams.
16:17
Speaker 1: So anyway, I we'll move away from that. We'll go
16:20
Speaker 1: to baseball quickly. We had a managerial change and a
16:24
Speaker 1: Mallard monologue requested by supermarket Steve. So everyone wants hot
16:28
Speaker 1: Rocky talk. So here's some hot Rocky talk a few
16:31
Speaker 1: good minutes. So the Rockies announced on a Sunday after
16:34
Speaker 1: they won a game. After they won a game, they
16:38
Speaker 1: decided that, you know, we have decommissioned our manager, Bud Black,
16:42
Speaker 1: and we've also whacked his buddy, the bench coach, Mike Redmond.
16:46
Speaker 1: They have been fired. They're out of here, see you later.
16:50
Speaker 1: So somebody named Warren Schaeffer, We have no idea who
16:52
Speaker 1: that is. He is now the interim manager of the Rockies.
16:55
Speaker 1: And Clint Hurdle we've heard of him. He used to
16:58
Speaker 1: manage the Rockies. He's back as the interim bench coach. Okay,
17:04
Speaker 1: So then we add Dave Roberts, not a Rocky, a Dodger.
17:08
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts comment after the Dodgers poll axe the Diamondbacks,
17:12
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts ran to defend Bud Black, the Dodger manager
17:16
Speaker 1: said not even Casey Stangele could change the outcome for
17:21
Speaker 1: the Rockies. That was the money quote, which begs the
17:23
Speaker 1: question did Bud Black get a raw deal from the Rockies?
17:29
Speaker 1: And I have a two words. One starts with an
17:32
Speaker 1: A and one starts with an N. Absolutely not, absolutely not.
17:37
Speaker 1: Colorado has sucked the entire time Bud Black has been there. Now,
17:43
Speaker 1: they're epically bad, they are historically bad.
17:46
Speaker 2: They are Hall of Fame level.
17:48
Speaker 1: Trash this year. There's no even the mascots having a
17:53
Speaker 1: bad year for the Rockies right now. And when you
17:57
Speaker 1: are the worst team in baseball and then lose a
17:59
Speaker 1: game twenty one to nothing, your manager gets fired.
18:04
Speaker 2: That is universally how it works.
18:06
Speaker 1: They lost on Saturday twenty one of them the Rockies.
18:10
Speaker 1: Of course, they couldn't get all their ducks lined up.
18:12
Speaker 1: They had to wait till after the game on Sunday
18:13
Speaker 1: to fire Bud Black. They should have fired him on
18:16
Speaker 1: Saturday night, but they didn't. And so as far as
18:21
Speaker 1: Dave Roberts part of this, you get it. Dave Roberts
18:25
Speaker 1: is like, listen, this is a guy I beat up on.
18:27
Speaker 1: And all coaches defend coaches, all managers defend managers. That
18:31
Speaker 1: doesn't work in the radio. By the way, other talk
18:33
Speaker 1: shows don't defend other talk shows. They rip other talk shows.
18:36
Speaker 1: But in sports, coaches always look out for other coaches, right,
18:39
Speaker 1: the managers always look up.
18:41
Speaker 2: So it's the same thing.
18:42
Speaker 1: But Bud Black was tasked with being a cousin of Rumpelstiltskin.
18:49
Speaker 1: He was asked to spin worthless dust into diamonds, and
18:54
Speaker 1: he has failed every year he's been there. The team
18:57
Speaker 1: has gotten progressively worse in terms of talent. But even
19:00
Speaker 1: when they had talent there, and they had some ballplayers
19:04
Speaker 1: with Bud Black, and it never worked. It never worked.
19:08
Speaker 1: And so yeah, you got a tough hand to cards.
19:12
Speaker 1: You shouldn't be like a little league team, which is
19:15
Speaker 1: what the Rockies are this year. You know, maybe don't hit,
19:19
Speaker 1: play defense right, So they can't hit, they can't field,
19:22
Speaker 1: they can't pitch. I don't know what else there is
19:24
Speaker 1: other than that they look good in uniform. What happened
19:28
Speaker 1: to coach them up? What happened to coach them up?
19:30
Speaker 2: Right?
19:31
Speaker 1: The kill shot? You lose twenty one to nothing, that's it,
19:34
Speaker 1: You're done, see you later, goodbye. Somebody's got to lose
19:37
Speaker 1: their job and you're the guy to lose the job
19:39
Speaker 1: and all that, But don't feel bad for Bud Black.
19:41
Speaker 2: It is estimated he has earned over.
19:43
Speaker 1: Seventeen million dollars to manage Rockies Baseball seventeen million and
19:50
Speaker 1: overall he has spent eighteen years Bud Black as a
19:54
Speaker 1: major League Baseball skipper with the Podres and the Rockies.
19:58
Speaker 2: It's a long run, you know.
20:00
Speaker 1: Me playoff wins Bud Black has in San Diego and
20:03
Speaker 1: Colorado in eighteen years as a big league manager, He's
20:07
Speaker 1: got one more than you and I have and Loraina
20:10
Speaker 1: and Coop. He won one playoff game one number one.
20:15
Speaker 1: That's it, Bud Black. One playoff win. So yeah, if
20:20
Speaker 1: I was Dave Roberts, I would be upset because, listen,
20:22
Speaker 1: you're guaranteed at least ten wins a year if you're
20:25
Speaker 1: the Dodgers playing the rock If the Rockies actually get
20:27
Speaker 1: some decent ballplayers and a manager that knows what they're doing,
20:30
Speaker 1: they might actually compete with teams like the Dodgers rather
20:33
Speaker 1: than be at the very bottom in the sewer.

22:26
Speaker 2: Not much going on.
22:27
Speaker 1: Joe the Ghost Hunner from Ohio rights And says, that's
22:30
Speaker 1: a bold take and how the people's team wore out
22:33
Speaker 1: the Nuggets. Nobody else has that take. That's my take.
22:37
Speaker 1: You can't have that take. I own that take, Lorena,
22:40
Speaker 1: you want that. You can't have that take, Loreeda, that's right.
22:44
Speaker 1: You don't want my take. You have your own takes.
22:47
Speaker 1: Do not take my take. That's my take. Now, King
22:51
Speaker 1: Roy wrights And says, I knew the NBA was soft,
22:53
Speaker 1: but I didn't realize this soft. It's not like either
22:56
Speaker 1: team had an extra day of rest or it was
22:58
Speaker 1: a travel day in between.
23:00
Speaker 2: Noah, That's what I'm saying. So stupid.
23:02
Speaker 1: First, Halliburton can't talk to talk now. Players need more
23:06
Speaker 1: rest just to play bad basketball. Yes, exactly. Let's see here.
23:13
Speaker 1: John says, if listening to your show and love love
23:18
Speaker 1: betting table tennis is wrong, I don't want to be right. Wow,
23:22
Speaker 1: how much you betting John on table tennis? There is
23:26
Speaker 1: another listener.
23:27
Speaker 2: I will not name that.
23:28
Speaker 1: Particular person, but there's somebody else that stays up all
23:30
Speaker 1: night betting ping pong matches.
23:33
Speaker 2: Well, you have a gambling problem.
23:38
Speaker 1: Only if you lose. Let me point out, if you win,
23:41
Speaker 1: it's not a gambling problem. If you win, you have
23:43
Speaker 1: a problem with your taxes because you have to pay
23:45
Speaker 1: taxes on the winnings. If you lose, you have a
23:48
Speaker 1: gamling problem. If you win, you have a problem with
23:50
Speaker 1: the irs. Nick writes in Nick the Wendy's guy is Hey, Ben, buddy,
23:54
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. These athletes are paid the
23:57
Speaker 1: big bucks to play. Get out there and play, you
24:00
Speaker 1: whiny babies. So he says, well, here's a blast in
24:04
Speaker 1: the past. Robin Belcher, Tower, Massachusetts, writes in a show legend.
24:10
Speaker 1: He says, if I wanted to watch a cornercopia of
24:13
Speaker 1: miss lay ups and a plethora of bad jump shots,
24:16
Speaker 1: I would just watch an Angel Reese video.
24:18
Speaker 2: Wow, all right, there you go? All right? Who else
24:23
Speaker 2: do we have? Page down?
24:25
Speaker 1: Mark writes in he says, thanks, big bed, very proud
24:28
Speaker 1: If my late parents heard my name on sports radio. Yeah, well,
24:33
Speaker 1: the radio waves go out forever as far as we know,
24:36
Speaker 1: into the cosmos.
24:38
Speaker 2: So this is just going and going and going. There's
24:41
Speaker 2: a bunch of other planets that are populated by weird.
24:44
Speaker 1: Beings, non human beings out there somewhere, and so they're
24:47
Speaker 1: probably listening, big fans. I don't think we get credit
24:49
Speaker 1: for that. King Roy says, you wonder why Halliburton was
24:53
Speaker 1: voted mister overrated. He can't stand the heat, so he
24:57
Speaker 1: obviously got out of the kitchen. Let's go to the phones.

38:17
Speaker 1: Ben.
38:17
Speaker 5: Did you know there's another kubiak son in the NFL?
38:20
Speaker 2: Uh? Yeah? It was was he even like the Saints
38:23
Speaker 2: or something that I think was he Seattle. That's Clint Kubiak.
38:27
Speaker 2: There's Clay Kubiak. Oh another Yeah, you like Gremlin's cool.
38:31
Speaker 2: He's with the forty nine ers, Okay.
38:33
Speaker 5: And he talked to the media over the weekend and
38:35
Speaker 5: he was talking about mac Jones and he said that
38:37
Speaker 5: he believes mac jones can is still capable of being
38:40
Speaker 5: a starter in this league.
38:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you agree with him? So, he didn't say
38:44
Speaker 2: he would be a good quarter Could he be a start?
38:46
Speaker 1: Sure, he started games last year in Jacksonville when there
38:50
Speaker 1: were injuries.
38:51
Speaker 2: The question is can he be good? He can't be good.
38:53
Speaker 2: He sucks. So, yeah, there's a lot of bad starting quarterbacks.
38:56
Speaker 2: Could he be good? I don't know. I've seen no
38:58
Speaker 2: evidence he can be good.
38:59
Speaker 5: Next, it was reported over the weekend that Kevin Durant
39:02
Speaker 5: and the Heat have mutual interests. Thank God in joining force.
39:06
Speaker 5: I'm sure they do. Yes, ben Ken, Durant save Miami.
39:10
Speaker 2: Why would he say he can't say he couldn't save
39:12
Speaker 2: the Suns. He didn't save Brooklyn.
39:14
Speaker 1: Like it's been a minute since Durant has been that guy.
39:19
Speaker 1: I see no evidence that. I'm I'm not beyond Coop
39:22
Speaker 1: talking about Durant. I'll probably do seven monologues on Durant
39:25
Speaker 1: between now and the time he changes teams. But do
39:27
Speaker 1: I think he's going to turn the fortunes of a
39:29
Speaker 1: team around. No, unless he goes to the Clippers next.
39:34
Speaker 2: Reason.
39:35
Speaker 5: Reports say that quote momentum is building towards the nc
39:39
Speaker 5: double A lifting its ban on gambling on professional sports.
39:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben, you think there's actually a chance of this happening.
39:45
Speaker 1: Well, I don't believe in momentum, as you know, Coop,
39:47
Speaker 1: I know I don't believe that in sports that doesn't exist.
39:50
Speaker 2: But yes, I think there is.
39:52
Speaker 1: There is an efforts like well it say, as long
39:54
Speaker 1: as you don't bet on college sports, who cares if
39:57
Speaker 1: you bet a parlay in the NFL, or you bet
39:59
Speaker 1: on all or whatever. So I could that that would
40:01
Speaker 1: make sense. They want to limit the amount of punishment
40:03
Speaker 1: because they are in bed with gambling.
40:05
Speaker 2: How did we do pass that is a win? Want
40:09
Speaker 2: to know this way, Lana.
40:11
Speaker 1: I am a winner, win, a win, A winner the
40:15
Speaker 1: game I want
