  Speaker 1: The voting good turnouts so far. The early returns pretty
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: good on the Benny Awards, which are on Sunday night,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and we've got a lot a lot going on. There's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the online vote on x for the social media contributor
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: to the other There's so many people that send random
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: messages to the show that are part of the show.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: That way that.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: We had like over fifty people. I believe that we're
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: in the opening bracket. It's like the NCAA tournament here.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: We had a lot of names, a lot of names
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in there in the opening round and we're gonna have
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: multiple rounds.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: So I know on the weekends, you know some of
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: you listen.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: To the podcasts, but you're gonna have to pay attention
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: on the weekends and online and vote.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And we'll get the rundown up. I have not gotten that.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Up at this point. But the final a couple of rounds.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: It will be two more rounds of voting, and so
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: just pay attention to that. In fact, right now, if
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you're listening live, I believe there's eight eight or so
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: minutes something like that to vote to get your final
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: votes in. And there's there's some of the categories on
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: these social media opening rounds, social media Benny Award ballot,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and there's a couple of them. They are very close.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I could go either way, Like the d D bracket
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I believe with that's the one with Jill in Minnesota,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: spos Weed, Ozzie Waz and ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. That is
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: separated by just a few percentage points, as is the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: E block which has Bozo the District Attorney, o Cho Texto,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Mister Irrigation and the burner account in it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: So that's close.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Some of the other ones are are really wide open
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: or not wide open.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I should say the H block close.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: That's got big names like Chris and de moin far out,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: David Ohio, not a burner, Rob the Goat, man, that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a close one. The J Block with Justin in Cincinnati
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: and Andrea and moving Man, Matt and Andy Lionel Lakes.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: So those are some of the names out there. So
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: check that out your few minutes left. So while I'm
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: yapping here, you go check that out and it'll change
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: your life in amazing ways. Well not really, but it's
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: just the opening round and in order to win, I'm
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: told you actually have to win the opening round to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: win the other two rounds.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: I believe it's two other rounds after this. I think
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: I did the math.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I probably screwed that up, but check it out, all right,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So I lead this out. That's on X by the way,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: at Ben if you want to vote again literally just
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, and if you're listening to the podcast.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: You're cooked.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour from the Twin Cities, the Vikings
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: have added a fun sized quarterback to their roster. Yes,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: so I assume you've heard by now, perhaps not. We
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: talked about this in a previous episode that this was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the most likely outcome. The most likely outcome a rumor
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is just a fact that has yet to be discovered.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So Kyler Murray, who visited the Vikings.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: He did some zoom meetings, but he visited the Vikings
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in person, boots on the ground, boots on the ground,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and he signed. So he visited the Vikings facility there
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and he had a juicy lucy it was a kid size.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And then he signed a one year contract.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: So this came one day after he was fired, well
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: laid off by the Cardinals because he was already owed
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: thirty seven million in guaranteed salary for the upcoming season
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: by Arizona.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray signed.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: For the veteran minimum, which is one point three men.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But how do you pay your bills on one point
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: three million? God bless them, God bless them. So it's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: been described as a no risk audition for the Vikings,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a win win.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Kyler Murray gave a small quote, can't give a.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Big one, said, every year to me is a go
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: out there and prove it. Yere okay, Well, so unfortunate
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: because he doesn't prove anything all these years other than
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: he's not that good. So that's that is a good
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Though let us discuss the question how
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: big of an opportunity is this for Kyler Murray and
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the Vikings. So I've got cheesecake Factory, Unicorn Pool, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the Boogie Woogie, and we'll put all these together and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Make some smooth talk, all right.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So A Kyler has been able to horn swath his
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: way in the NFL. Should not have been the number
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: one pick. I think he's proven that with his play
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: that he shouldn't have been the number one pick. The
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Cardinals are run by a bunch of dumbos, and they
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: made him the number one pick, and he's failed. He's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: failed in Arizona, and now he goes to Minnesota. To me,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it's enormous for the Vikings because they've completely botched this
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy thing of a jig. McCarthy looked dazed and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: confused out there, look like a guy that should be
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: selling insurance somewhere now playing quarterback in the NFL.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: And that was after a red shirt year.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And you all told me, you tell me every year
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: they players who are quarterbacks need to sit a year,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: they need to learn.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: You tell me that every year.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And JJ McCarthy sat there, he was heard he learned
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the playbook, learned by just being around the team, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it looked like he had never ever played football before,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like he won a raffle and it's say, hey, you
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: want to come out, you want to play, would you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like to play for the for the team, And they say, okay,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'll come play for the team. Yeah, it's wild, it's
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: absolutely So the Vikings are desperate.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: They need to hit on a quarterback. Now, do I
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: think Kyler's gonna be the one? No, But the answer
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: they needed, yeah, that wasn't the question.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: The question was how big an opportunity is this for
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Vikings? What's bigger for the Vikings?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: And the problem is Kyler Murray. That's the problem, right.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: You got to get him the booster seat. Get him
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the booster seat there so we can see over the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: offensive line. And this is a guy, the only player
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: in NFL history, the only one party of one who
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: needed a homework clause, needed a homework clause in his contract. Yeah, yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: just so we watched tape. He's more interested in call
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of duty than game film. And call of duty is
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a great game. I don't blame him by that. Video
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: game addiction is a hell of a drug. So alligator
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: arms Murray, who isn't hardwired for greatness, He's not. He's
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: hardwired for a headset and oystick. He started wired for that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: And for the Vikings, it's it's say, well, we're famished
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: now right, we're walking. It's like you walk into the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: cheesecake factory and you're really hungry and they order.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Somebody that you didn't order it, that somebody ordered it
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: They ordered you grill the sparagus off the Skinny Delicious
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: menu and it just doesn't hit the spot. I don't
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: know who wants to grill the sparagus rather vomit in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: my mouth and eat that disgusting that doesn't hit the spot.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And so you're still hungry, and you wasted some money
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and said, wow, this is not much money.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Kyler's getting the minimum.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, one point three million in the NFL world is
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: not that much money. However, time is money and they're
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: wasting time. And that's not the franchise savior. The Viking
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the worst team in the NFL. No,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: they'll be competitive. They have good players on the team,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and Kyler usually gets off to a good start. The
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: problem is he can't handle the entire season, and that's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the issue. Murray will be fine until the new call
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: of duty drops and then he'll he'll have to go
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: to the bench and they'll have to put McCarthy or
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: somebody else in at that particular point. That's the curveball.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: That's the curveball with the player.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Now flipping the page, but not far.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: The Vikings are positioning this Kyler Murray audition. They're setting
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: this up for a stiff quarterback competition for the incumbent
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, and they'll.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Duke it out for the starting job.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Here is the little fella alligator Arms Murray, who would
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: like you to know that he does he think of
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: himself as a backup or does he think of himself
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: as a starter?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Let's find out.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Do you view this as as you're coming in as
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: the starting quarterback?
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Do you view this as a competition?
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, No, Like I said, I'm just great for the opportunity,
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: grateful for the opportunity. You know, I look forward to
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: coming in and compete and getting to learn the offense,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: getting to be with coach O'Connell. Obviously he's had a
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: lot of success and again I'm just looking for looking
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: forward to the opportunity to come in here and competing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: All right, So he didn't answer the question, but he
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: wouldn't assign with the Vikings unless they had given him
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the wink wink that he was going to start. So
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the question, does this story about the quarterback competition between
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and JJ McCarthy in.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Minnesota hold water? So I've already shown you I don't
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: have a good poker face.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: To me, this whole thing feels like one of those
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: inflatable backyard kiddie pools, the spray and splash unicorn pool.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: It looks colorful, exciting.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: However, there's a slow leak in the bottom and by
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: noon the kiddos are sitting in mud and the unicorns
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: all deflated.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's not pretend here.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: McCarthy last year was the second worst quarterback in the
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: NFL And the only reason he wasn't the worst is
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: because Shooter Sanders sucked more. Shooter Sanders Bluemore in Cleveland.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And that's the only reason I'm unqualified quarterbacks. He was
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the only one worse Shader Sanders. And that's mind you
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: with a roster that if you compare the Browns roster
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: to the Cleveland roster, it's a roster that's basically rodeo,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: drive worthy, veteran talent, elite playmakers at the skill positions,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: good coaching, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. So
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: now it's flip the coin. You got Kyler Murray who
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: in Arizona? That relationship was so toxic? How toxic was
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: it was so toxic that the cardinals are eating? How
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: much money? We told you the number. It's amazing, almost
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: thirty seven million. Third, I'm about thirty seven million those
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: bozos are eating just to move out of the apartment,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: break the lease. Thirty seven million. That's the NFL's version
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of leaving all your clothes, all your furniture behind after
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: a divorce.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And this competition is.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Like a having Kyler Murray on one side and JJ
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: McCarthy the other. It's like going to watch a race
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: at Churchill Downs. You've got a on one side, you've
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: got a three legged Clydesdale and on the other side
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you've got a miniature pony. That's what you got. Right now,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murry is gonna start. He'd really have to f
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this up. Like if he hurt his thumb on the joystick,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: that might affect him.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: He might not be able to play.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: You know, he could get some kind of hearing loss
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: from the headset being turned too high on the twitch
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: stream while he's gaming.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: That's possible. All those things are possible, for sure, But
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: in reality, Minnesota doesn't really want a competition.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: They want an exit strategy from JJ McCarthy.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I might as well trade him.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: See if somebody's dumb enough to take him, You're not
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: gonna get much for him. But he can't play, so
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: who cares. See if some moron out there find the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: greater fool to take him. But in the NFL, I
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: have learned over the years, and I think you know
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: this from paying attention as well. You don't need to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: tell you that once the bubble of trust pops, once
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: that bubble of trust pops at quarterback, you don't patch
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: You know, you replace it. And that's what's gonna happen now.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: The last word here, speaking of Bravado, we going now
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to San Francisco, where the forty nine ers brought out
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the welcome wagon for their newest pass catcher, Mike Evans,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: mister Tampa Bay buccaneer no more said, I'm out of here.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I don't want to play with you bums, Todd bowls,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: you coach at Baker Mayfield, I'm out of here.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: So he was welcome to the to the Bay area.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Evans specifically sighted and really slabbered all over, slabber, chop stopper,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: slap slopper, all over. Coach Kyle Shanahan talked about how
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: George Kittle had recruited him and all this and we
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: get to play alongside Brock Purty. Those were made factors
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: in his decision to leave Tampa Bay which again is
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: a vote of no confidence for Todd Bowles and Baker Mayfield.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Like we told you, he suck it up to the
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: coach in the quarterback. He left a coach and a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: quarterback because he doesn't think those guys are any good Olthwise,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: he would have stayed in Tampa, all right.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: And he also gave us.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: The money quote Mike Evans, and I don't know if you
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: saw this or that, perhaps not, Mike Evans said in
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: his introductory press conference quote I feel like they meaning
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers were one piece away and I'm
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: that piece close.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: Quote.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Question, what is the word We know there's a swell
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: head here, but what is the word for Mike Evans
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: saying that he is the missing piece for the.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Forty nine ers.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: So my word is sign as in the football version
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of walking around with a kick me sign on it
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: tape to your back and just asking the bots and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the algorithm to start running.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: Get that running start.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And now we do this boogie woogie dance every year,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and I'm here for it. I'm not against the boogie
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: woogie dance. I'll tear up the dance floor. I'm not
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: against a veteran will show up. It happens every year.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Look it up. I'm not making up.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Every year there's a veteran that shows up and suddenly
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: he says, hey, I'm the final piece. I've got the
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: last piece to the jigsaw puzzle. I've got it as
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: if the forty nine ers were just wandering through blindly
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the wilderness with no GPS, no cell phone reception, if
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: they had a GPS and saying, you know what we.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Need as the forty nine ers, we need a.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: Past his prime wide receiver who occasionally plays well, but
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of the time is hurt and runs routes
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: or roots like he's buffering.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: So hey, I'm here for Evans is a hype man. Good.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: You know he's like, you go to the club, the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: DJ there, make some nose, put your hands in the air. Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: who put your hands in the air everywhere? Now if
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: it works, Oh, he's a prophet, he's a profit.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Got it done. He got it done.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: If not, he's volunteering to be the main character in
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: everyone else's highlight reel.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And the forty nine.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Ers they got a hope that that electrical substation next
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: to the practice field can generate about thirty five extra points.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: With Mike Evans as Ernesto in the Bay and Terry
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: in England.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: And all these other guys are big forty nine er
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: fans know that gap. That's the gap. They lost by
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: thirty five points against the Seahawks and the playoffs and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: then the Rams went out, and you know, we're blow
• 15:49

• 17:06
  Speaker 1: So our lead story, let's go to pro Bouncy Ball
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and another record has fallen. Remember a couple of years
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: ago they were tearing down all the statues in America. Well,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: another record in the NBA gone. Our lead from Oklahoma City,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: although I don't know that this is a memorable record.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Most people didn't know about it until a couple of
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: days ago.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: But nonetheless, the reigning MVP, a former Clipper, Shay Jogis
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Alexander had thirty five points. He took eighteen shots, made
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: thirteen of them. I'm told that's pretty good. Six rebounds
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and nine assists and apartures to the para tree, the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: thunder get past the Boston Celtics. That's not the story, though,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: that's not the story. What is the story.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you the story. I'll tell you a story.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: So if you missed it, SGA wrote his name in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: the record book. Yeah, he had a mid range jumper
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: that's not sexy in the third quarter and that basket
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: with that basket, Jogis Alexander, a proud Canadian lad procured
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: is one hundred and twenty seventh consecutive twenty point game,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: passing Wilt Chamberlain for the longest streak in NBA history.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The iconic Wilt Chamberlain the only person to score one
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: hundred points in a game. And when Wilt scored one hundred,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: it's gonna blow you away. You probably don't know this,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: but they were not in the sixers or the worst.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: They were not intentionally fouling. They were not in Hershey, Pennsylvania.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: They were not intentionally fouling. So he could get to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: one hundred points. Oh my god, you're telling me that
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: they didn't know. He didn't get bogged down by that anyway.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So that's the story SGA passing Wilt Chamberlain and all
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: that good jumping off points. So let us discuss the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: question where does SGA passing Wilt Chamberlain's streak of twenty
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: point games one hundred and twenty seven now consecutive. Where
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: does that fall on the scale of impressive, the SOI
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: the scale of impressive. So my views on this, I've
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: got pineapple, fruit Smoothie, North Pole and Disney Cruise, and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we are
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: going to trade punches, is what we're gonna do.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: We'll drop some knowledge. We'll drop some knowledge on you
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: as well. So, first of all, on the malor.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Si scale of impressive, the malor SOI scale of impressive
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: one to ten. Drum roll, Please, what do you think
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You think I'm gonna belly ache about this? You think
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna complain about this? Have a bad attitude? You think, No,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: here we go.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I'm at a five. I am at a five five
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: five five.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: That's where I am right there, right in the middle seat.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be in the middle seat. Got fat
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: guy on one side, got a smelly person on the other.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Now five is like pretty neat. Wake me up when
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: something really crazy happens. That's where I am before the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: SGA marching and chowders society starts coming at me with
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: pitchforks and torches. Let's break down. I'm gonna break out
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Malor measuring tape. I'm gonna measure this all right,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: getting the limelight. Here're gonna use the Malor measuring tape.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So context does matter, always has, always will. Wilt Chamberlain
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: streak from the early nineteen sixties when they were playing
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: it wasn't basketball, was the Demolition Derby with sneakers. It
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: is the Stone Age. The Big Dipper average I think
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: it was forty nine points. I believe during his stretch
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty six consecutive games with twenty
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: or more points, he averaged forty nine points forty nine
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: the Big Dipper. With those forty nine points that he
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: was essentially running a refinery with points, and SGA's averaged
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a respectable thirty two point five points per game. But
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to give you an idea, how much better Wilt Chamberlain was.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: He was thirty three point seven percent better in terms
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: of points in his streak than Will Then SGA wasn't
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: his and you know she's this is a good player.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: He's got that clipper pedigree, smooth operator. Remember the late
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: great Jerry West. You know he knew, he said, this
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: guy's gonna be special. And Jerry got a few of them, right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: got Kobe, Bryan White and a few other guys. But
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: that was one of the last great player that Jerry
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: West saw that said this guy's going to be good
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: was SGA. And then Kawhi Leonard got a bug up
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: his ass and wanted Paul George and so something the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: thunder got SGAU. However, in the modern NBA, let's get
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: break this down more so, SGA breaks Wilt Chamberlain's streak
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: of consecutive twenty point games. In the modern NBA, you've
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: got it's like a buffet. You've got spacing everywhere, a
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: lot of spacing. You've got whistle happy referees, the foul
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: merchant SGA, the analytics whispering sweet nothings in the coaches years.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: You've got that.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: You toss in again the diet of foul shots, the
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: free throws as they're called, and you've got this stat
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: pineapple fruit smoothie. And Will Chamberlain did this without the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: three point line, without the three point line, he'd make any.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Three point shots.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: You realize Wil Chamberlain never made a three point shot
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: in his entire career because they didn't.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: Have it, didn't have load management, didn't believe in load management.
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: Those guys thought. These guys, they one a bunch of wooses.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: And while vacuuming up rebounds like he was a shot back.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: And so just to put a bow on this, SGA,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: shade jogis Alexander, his streak is shiny. Congratulations a nice
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Canadian lad, Wilt Chamberlain. What he did was seismic. You
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: needed a Richter scale to see what Wilt Chamberlain did.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: So I will put this in the basket for SGA
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: respectable historically light, historically light historically all right. Now, secondly
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: to Miami we Go and more reverberation from the BAM
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: out of bio Fugaysey eighty three points circus the other
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: night in South Florida.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Now the dim witted are very upset. The dim witted.
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: I can't believe that people are questioningly integrity a bomb
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: out of Bio while the heat were up by twenty
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: five points, intentionally foiling so Bam could take more shots.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: So funny, God bless you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I saw Mike Breen carrying the water for the NBA,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I would too, Dude, he's got a great job. Mike
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Bring's got a great job. Good for him. Protect that job.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Whatever the pr people from the NBA want you to repeat, Mike.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: You do it. You absolutely do it.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: See, I'm only going to remember Mike Breen one of
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: his early jobs in radio, he was a sidekick for
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: don Imus and then he's gone on obviously had a
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: great career as a broadcaster.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: But he was absolutely just licking the toes of.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: NBA people who because the NBA as a whole not
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: very happy that people are calling out this historical moment,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: and they're right, by the way, they really are bothered that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: This is a no brainer.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Like sometimes people just argue to argue, but this is
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: so phony, it's so fake. It's like going to Universal
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Studios and taking the tour and you go through the
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: New York backdrop.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: And then you're like, oh man, this is great.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: And then you get out you walk around, You're like,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: well that's just some crappy plywood and some paint and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: some glass, Like what is that anyway? So some new
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: stuff out for this? Now, what did Bam out of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: bio do Bam bam for an encore? The Bucks and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Heat played on Thursday night, So Bam probably went out
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and scored like sixty fair number of points. He's eighty
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: three not gonna be as good in the next game.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: So sixty, no, no, not sixty. How about fifty did
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: he get? He had to get fifty at least fifty.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Think you don't go from eighty three?
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: No, all right? How about forty? Can I hear forty? No?
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Definitely thirty Bam out of row he had twenty one points.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: He went from eighty three points to twenty one so
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: good did have eight rebounds?
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Who cares? Miami beat the lov.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks And that's not the story. The story here
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: is his coach who gave a quote prior.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: To the game that has gone viral. Here that he coached.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Eric Spolstra was asked about leaving Bam out of bio
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: in Now, remember this goes against normal over the years,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: sports decorum and sportsmanship.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: And you're not supposed to do that. And what do
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: you doing? Well, you laugh at me, and it was like, no,
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: it was just me day. It was like a game
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: at the YMCA is so stupid.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: And anyway, Spolster was asked about that, whether or not
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I felt bad or anything like, well, let's see what
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: what he said.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Let's go to the audio tape. I apologize to absolutely
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: no one, wow, period. Wow.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: And you know, going into the game, you know it's
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: it's a Tuesday night game against a team, whether they're
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: not playing for anything, whether organization is trying to lose.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: We've already lost a game, you know, in that kind
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: of situation, we have players that are sitting out. And
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: I spoke to Bam about I want, as our best
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: player and team captain for him to be locked in
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: and ready, and he sure was.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: That's so good. That's it. That's the beginning. That's the
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: money quote.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I apologize to absolutely no one period.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get into this the question.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: As you heard, he coached Eric spolsk were refusing, refusing
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: to apologize for leaving Bam out of Bio in a
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: game where they were clearly just stat padding to get
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to eighty three points, breaking all kinds of NBA decorum.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: So the question on this one is where are you
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: at on this?
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Where are you at on the Heat coach refusing to apologize?
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: So I actually agree with Eric Spolstra, And I'm reminded,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: if you've been with the show a long time, my favorite,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Eric Spolster drop and we used to play this back.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: We play drops a lot. But there was a the.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Miami Heat were playing the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Finals and the Mavericks had him on the ropes and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: they were going back to Dallas, and then the last
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: couple of games I remember correctly as I remember, the
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: last couple of games were in Dallas and the Heat
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: had lost the game at home in Miami, and the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: reporter asked Eric Spolstra, like, you know, what are you
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: concerned about this or something like that, and Spolster said,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have it any other way. They were on the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: brink of elimination going into a road environment.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: There it is right there. That's it. They play again.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't have it any other way. Oh, it's so good.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It was so hilarious, like, yeah, your team's about to
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: be eliminated. You're playing like ass as cam Ward would say,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and you're going to Dallas your.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Thoughts coach, wouldn't have it any other way.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Okay, but now we can. Let's try to save this one.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I know we don't know if to do that, but
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: let's try to save this one. I apologize to absolutely
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: no one period. I just want that part. That is
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: what we call in the business. And evergreen drop. I'm
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: gonna take you behind the curtain here into the factory
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: how we make the sausage. So I love evergreen drops
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: and I love to play them out of context. Now,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: my all time favorite evergreen drop is the old hockey
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: coach Torts, who said, well that's not Torts, but he said,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: we sucked at a time you cannot suck, because that
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: is an evergreen drop, and you can play that at
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: any point about anyone, and it's just golden. I love
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: my evergreen drops, and that you know we sucked at
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: a time you cannot suck. That is an all time
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: great one. My favorite evergreen rant is a rather non
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: descript manager who very briefly managed the Seattle Mariners in
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: that thirty year period where they were an embarrassment in baseball.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And so he John McClaren is the guy's name, and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: he went on and these guys are busting their ass,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sick and tired of losing. And you know, it
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: was great. It was ever great. And it doesn't even
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: he didn't even play like baseball. You play for football
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: or basketball.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Those are the kind of things that I love.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: So we can add now Eric Spols to my little
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: collection of these evergreen drops and so things sucked and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: we sucked at a time that you can't suck.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's torts. See that's great because you can play
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: that for enemy anytime a team loses. Hey tarts your
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: thoughts towarts.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: You sucked, and we sucked at a time that you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: can't suck. Perfect and it's accurate and it's accurate. And
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: then that John McLaren one is just great.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Also because that.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Was that was just a random night in you know,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: years ago, probably fifteen years ago, and he just went
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: on this epic.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: Rant and it was great.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Anyway, all right, to answer the question where are you
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: at on Eric Spols refusing to apologize for leaving Bam
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: out of Bay. I wain into clearly stat pad I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: should agree with him. You should not apologize. Don't apologize
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: if you're a basketball coach. Here's why apologies in sports
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: are like those you know, those little umbrellas you get
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: a cocktail, you go out on Friday or sad you
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: get a cocktail, those decorative umbrellas. They're meaningless and they're
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: mostly there so someone eventually can get drunker and then
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: poke poke you in the eye with them later. Right,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: So the apology, it's not forgiveness. No one thinks it's forgiveness.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: It's evidence. It's exhibit exhibit A in the court of
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: public opinion, ladies and gentlemen of social media.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: The defendant has confessed.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Now that said, let's not pretend that this was some
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: noble basketball moment. You just took a harpoon gun to
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: what had been heat culture, pat Riley's gospel, discipline, play
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: the game the right way, professional pride, all that went
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: out the window. All of those things went out the
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: window that night, all of it. Instead, we've got run
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: of the mill. I say, run the mill stat Paddy.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: But this was really next level. This is like the
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: kid and I was the same way when I was
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: like twelve years old. Thirteen years old, went out Halloween
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: with my buddies and we had pillowcases filled with candy, right,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: filled with candy.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: We just loved it.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: It was great.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Halloween's about getting like a little bag of candy, not
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: abou getting a pillowcase of candy. So we actually got
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: a text on this bam out of biostory, and the
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: text came from the North Pole. And it turns out
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that Santa has played Eric Spolster and bam Addebayo on
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: the Naughty List well deserved. And this is a blemish.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Is it true that the Heat are replacing the mascot
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Bernie the mascot with the Frito Bandito because the box
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: score was pure junk food, empty calories. Stay tuned, developing hot.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: Dot dot dot. It may happen overnight.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Now final fun, Let's go over to the NFL where
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: we'll go to San Francisco where the forty nine ers
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: defensive end Bryce Huff said bye bye. He announced his
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: retirement from the NFL in a social media post, Walking
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Away from the game after just six years in the NFL.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Huff also played briefly with the Jets, more associated with
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the Eagles, was part of one of their championship teams
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: there in Philadelphia. And now he is leaving days before,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: days before.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: His twenty eighth birthday.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Now, looking at the headlines here, some people are acting
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: like Bryce Huff's retirement at age two eight is some
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: indictment of the league, Like here we go, here we go.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Need retires because football is not safe and it's not right,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: right question, Bryce hoff, random NFL player retiring from the
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Niners just before his birthday where he's turning twenty eight.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Is this a referendum on the NFL lifestyle?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: All right? So give me a break here.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Every time one of these guys retire, and there's every
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: team in the NFL, thirty teams, there's over fifty players
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: on every team, and the same storyline pops up. Oh
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: my god, it's the Satanic panic all over again.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: All right, all over again.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Everyone's clutching their parls like the NFL is working in
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a coal mine, and people are very worried about the game.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Just not safe enough. Let's go to flag football. What
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: do you say?
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Too vital, too foley far young people, and a total
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: rubbish in this regardless, total rubbish. It is a referendum
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: on one thing. When I see guys retire at twenty
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: seven or twenty eight, I think of one thing, and
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: one thing only f you money.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: That's what I think of.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: This guy was undrafted, Bryce Off, He wasn't even supposed
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: to be in the building, and he walks away with
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: over forty million.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: He made over forty million dollars.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: That's hitting the mega millions, while the rest of us
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: are scratching off, losing scratcherr tickets at seven to.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Eleven or whatever your favorite.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: You'll go to wah WAHF you're in Philadelphia, pick your favorite,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: or Bucki's wherever it might be. But if the NFL
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: had fifteen dollars an hour salaries, you could pay hourly
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: fifteen dollars an hour.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Do you think that Bryce hoff would be punching that
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: time card. I think he would. I think he'd be there.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: He'd try to do it till he's sixty five, and
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: he'd have a bad back and bad knees and have
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: a bunch of concussions, but he'd still be trying to
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: do it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: So my theory, and I think I'm right as my
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: hypothesis is that Bryce Off is leaving the NFL not
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: because of the violence. He's leaving because he wants to
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: live the hedonist lifestyle. He's got go to Hell money
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: and he's young guy, and you can really love He's
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: twenty seven. You usually make it to your mid seventies,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: so you know you got a good run of just
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: living the life of Riley. He's trading his helmet for
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: a yacht. He's giving up Ramen noodles for Kobe beef.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: This is like a Disney cruise. Zippity Dude, Da Zippity Day.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: And people are like, oh, this is such a sad thing. No,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it's the American dream. Dude. Come on, and we're all
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: sitting here like dopes, and the people acting like it's
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: a tragedy.

• 35:58
  Speaker 8: It was reported on Whenay that it's expected for the
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: Raiders to have interest in Kirk Cousins, but if the
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: Raiders were to sign Cousins. Do you think Mendoza still
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: starts Week one?
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Uh No, If they signed Cousins, Cousin's gonna start. But
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: they should just start Mendoza. I just you, I don't.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I hate these restlings. Step, whyam you're to draft a
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: number one pick? Better be able to play right out.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Of the box. Right out of the box. It's not
• 36:24

• 36:28
  Speaker 8: a five year, two hundred and forty million dollar contract
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: upon the start of free agency this summer. But you
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: think that's too big of an investment for the Lakers star.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Well, he's not.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: He's not that good. He was exposed by Minnesota the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: playoffs last year. But they he's a fan favorite. People
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: love him, so he'll get paid. Everyone's overpaid. But you know,
