  Speaker 1: night of The Bend Malor Show, another week of the program.

  Speaker 1: As we are side by side here in the air
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of reware constituents.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: As some say, we need no introduction.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Coast to coast, border to border and beyond on.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: The vast and.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Satisfyingly powerful microphones of fsre amminating live from the box.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: What's in the box, It's the soapbox, as we are
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: actually on top of the soapbox. Caaronteed human from the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: world famous.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Studios, where.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: The ostrich ant reminds us that this hour made possible
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ty Iraq. For for
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: forty years, ty rack has been helping customers like Malarprop, Guy,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Fergdog and al find the right tires for how, what
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and where they drive ship fast and free back by
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: free road hazard protection and a tremendous option there tyraq

  Speaker 1: dot com the way tire buying should be. I know Malaprop, Guy,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Fergdog and al for all nodding their.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Head in approval.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And also I got a message from the Bourbon Badger
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: who was very excited about the hockey the Bourbon Badger,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and the Bourbon Badger said, let the people know about
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: home depot, and I said, yes, upgrade your FIFA World
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Cup twenty twenty six. Set up, build it like Beckham
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: from living room to lawn with the home depot and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: take the fast free delivery. Assist the home Depot. Official
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six support a subject to availability,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so our leave this hour. I'm gonna start with the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the end of the NBA postseason, which happened over the weekend.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: We'll go to San Antonio. They did it again. They
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: did nothing about the Knicks.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Now, there's plenty of people licking the toes of Jalen
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Brunson and making sure that the bottom of the feet
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: of Karl Anthony Towns are nice and clean. So the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Knicks got the ring over the weekend. The better story, though,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. The heavily favorite San
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs sucked at a time you cannot suck. If
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you didn't see the game on Saturday, you might have
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: missed it. But Victor wem Banyama yet again not doing.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Much with the game on the line.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: There he missed the final shot of the NBA Finals
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and then he untucked his jersey and he marched off
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the court and said that's it, that's all, I'm done
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and went straight towards the locker room. No congratulatory handshake
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: from Victor Weimbanyama add all there as the Knicks get
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the title and Wemby getting out of there as quick
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: as possible.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Someone were wondering was he gonna sit there and soak it.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: All the in saying that should have been mine, that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: should have been my championship. He did not do that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: He did not remain. He skid daddled, ran off to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the locker room and then to the podium where he
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: was a bit of a douche, and then into the offseason.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: discuss the question where are you at on Wemby failing
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to congratulate the Knicks after the NBA Finals had come
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to an end on Saturday. The Spurs star apparently too
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: good for that, as he ran back and said, you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm done.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the locker room because I don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: want to see any of this and I want to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: congratulate you and beating my head in in the fourth
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: quarter of every game. So I've got inventor zip code
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and and New York Times best seller, and we will
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're gonna become
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a fire breathing dragon is what we're going to become.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: So a this is one of those cases. Give me,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you're tired, you're poor, your young superstar who cannot stay
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: for a handshake or a dap, none of that stuff.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Cannot do it, cannot do it. And let's be reheard.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: When I saw the end of the finals over the weekend,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the ending from the Wemby side of things, with everything
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: that had been invested into this guy and how little
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: he did when the game mattered most rotten. I wrote
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: down the word rotten. The whole thing was rotten for
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Victor Wemba Yama, and I don't want to hear all
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the excuse so young, oh young, he's gonna be back
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: every year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: We don't know that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: For every one of these guys that keeps returning, there's
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a bunch that don't return. And I can give you
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: plenty of examples historically in all different sports. So this assumption,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: you know what happens when you assume that Wemby's going
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: to be a staple in the NBA finals. I was
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: not impressed with what I saw. I was not impressed
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: considering all the build up and all the drama o rama.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: What I saw from Wemby was simply not good enough
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and walking off the court.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: That was not the walk of shame.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It was the walk of don't make eye contact with
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the team that actually kicked my ass and embarrassed me.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Don't do that and henna leave before he vanished. Wemby
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: seven foot four. It's hard to.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Vanish when you're seven foot four.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But like a magician, abra cadabra, hocus pocus, or he's
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: just allergic.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: To accountability, either one of those things. But he was gone.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: And we've seen this script before.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But typically if you go to the annals of the NBA,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the people that pull that off, that walk off the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: court with a sour puss like Wemby did after losing
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, they belonged to harden villains of basketball.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: The greatest example would be the Bad Boys Bad Boys,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the Bad Boy Pistons back in the day, led by
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas, who famously stormed off the court. And that
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: was back in the early nineties. We're talking about almost
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: forty years ago, when they were all upset because the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan had beaten them and they
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: didn't want to watch the Bulls celebrate, so they left
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: early and all that. Now, when we didn't leave early,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: he stayed until the end of the game. Then he
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: high tailed it and said, I got to get out
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of here. The difference is the other players that I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: and I can recall that have done that were battle tested.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: They were heavyweights, and Wemby looks.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Just like a lightweight, like the whole thing, and he
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: hasn't earned the right to be that. What's the word
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I'm looking for that that have the temper tantrum that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: he had. We'll call it like that for Victor Wimanyama
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and the basketball world spent all year, but certainly in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the playoffs here just telling us how he was built
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: for the moment.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: He was different, and I believe I bought into the hype.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah. Everything i'd seen is like, this is the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this is the stage. Here we go. It's a launching
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: pad to the moon, to the moon, to the moon,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to the moon, to the.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Moon to the moon.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Instead, as we mentioned in a previous episode, Wemby got
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: his pilot's license. He's now qualified to fly the Vomit comet.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And they did that time and again, time and again,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and he is an inventor. Though I will say this
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: for Wemby, he's an inventor. He literally has invented the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: French goodbye two point zero. You've heard of French leave,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Well that's Wemby right there. He exited the finals without
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: without informing the NBA or saying goodbye. So so I'm
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: out of here, see you later. And the Spurs, they
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: love to preach about the culture, the San Antonio Spurs
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: culture put in there by Greg Popovich back in the day,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: and they're good to go and all that and okay,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: well their franchise savior, the Spurs culture. His culture is pouting,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: capital p pouting.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: That's what he did.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And the historical context on this when Isaiah Thomas walked
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: off the court, and that was many, many years ago,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: as we said, it took him a long time to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: live that down in terms of his reputation. Some say
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: he never did live that down. Isaiah Thomas, whos still
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to this day bitter and broken with Michael Jordan, although
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that's over the Olympic team. Old guys holding a grudge,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: which is never bad. It's always fun when old guys
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: hold a grudge. But at twenty two years old for Wemby,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: and he can't accept the sucking that took place out there.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: And he's supposed to be the next face of the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: NBA and here we go and the whole thing and
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: he can't even stay on the floor. You got to
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: take your medicine, and he didn't want to take his medicine,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: which tells you a lot about how he's wired. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: it's not a good sign. I would be very concerned
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: if I was in San Antonio Spurs about this guy,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: very concerned. The way he handled himself. The whole thing
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was not good, not good.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: It all all right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Now, overall, Victor won Banyama. If you look at the numbers,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: he averaged twenty six points, eleven rebounds and three and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a half block shots in the finals, said whoa wousers,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: wowie Kauzawi.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: You know that whole thing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Twenty six points, eleven rebounds and three and a half blocks.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And the Spurs led by double digits in every single game,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: every single game of the series. And they blew leads
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: obviously in four of the five games. And when Banyama
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: made some critical mistakes in three of the four losses,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and I wrote down three or four, could have even
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: been all four, but certainly three of the four. Now,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I will point out that the box score humpers, as
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: we call them, the snot bonditos. They love their box scores.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Oh you kid, yeah, but yeah, but yeah, but yeah,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: but yeah, but yeah, but rabbit. Yeah but wemb he
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: averaged twenty six points and eleven REU three plugs.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You can't be critical of Webby. He had the stats.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: You know, it's ridiculous. You can't rip him.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, what a bet. There is nuance to this. There
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: is nuance to this. And with the game on the line,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: where was he where?
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know?
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Did you see?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I didn't see Wemby. Did you see Wemby? Where'd he go?
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: He did the wobble, the wobble, wobble, wobble.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: What the heck?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Question how much damage? How much damage did the Spurs
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: franchise player Victor womb Yama due to his brand with
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the walking off the court. We've already talked about that. Now,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: the way he played in key moments of the NBA
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Finals and all that. So I go back to the point.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: The NBA marketing arm did a tremendous job of building
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: up the myth of this guy, and Wemby responded to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: all of that high and he went out there on
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: seemingly live television with a global audience, and he made
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: an episode of MythBusters, and he just busted the myth
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: right there on the biggest stage with everyone watching who
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: cares about basketball, the NBA Finals. He went out there
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and laid an egg so large, How large was it?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: It was so large that it needed its own ZIP code,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: That's how big an egg it was. When the game mattered,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he got cooked, he was buttered and served up.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: All of that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Happened right there there you go on the TV delivering
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a performance down the stretch that was so soft?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: How soft was it? Thanks for asking?
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: It was so soft that you needed to store it
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: in some tupperware and put that aside from everything else
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in the fridge. To put that tupperware right there. And
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: with every game lost within more than reached. They had
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: double digit leads early in most of those games, some
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: even in the fourth quarter, and Wemby down the stretch
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: with opportunities to win the game and he could step
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on up for the Spurs. He was petrified, terrified, and
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: zombified by the Knicks or the momon or all of that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Whatever. Pick your poison, Pick your poison.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: My guy, he just caught in his bank of fog
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: and he couldn't see his way out, and he just
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: was stuck there.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: And it just.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Sucked and wandering around like a rumba stuck in a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: corner and it can't get away from the corner.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: It's like, dude, you got to back up a little bit.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? And so we keep.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Hearing about the unicorn, the unicorn, the unicorn, and there's
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: no one like him, and he's built different. Well, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I've seen plenty of guys in my time that sucked
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: in big games. I don't know about you. He looked
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: like every other guy that sucks in big moments. What's
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: different about Wemby. He played well for a stretch of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: the game, maybe seventy five percent of the game, and
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: then just free falling.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: There was a Kamikaze mission there at the end.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So the unicorn, this the unicorn, that all of that,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and this was like a horse headed to the glue
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: factory watching the way he played down the stretch of
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: these games. Victor, when Manyama the Parisian prodigy good nickname
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Parisian Prodigy turned into the Parisian puddle in evaporating in winning.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Time, it was winning time, and well not quite.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Didn't quite work out there When it was winning time,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be losing time and slightly problematic. Yeah,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: so it was crunch time Keemolm, final five minutes of
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and he was not He was not
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: taking a punch. He was not making a punch. He
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: was out to brunch is what he was doing, all right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He wasn't throwing punches. He was out the brunch, sipping
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: a mimosa, having a fine time there and needed to
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: throw a punch and either didn't know how to do
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: that or chose to not do that.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: So it was it was a mess.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: So I sum this all up. The brand is absolutely damaged.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's bruised, it's swollen, it's on crutches right now. It
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: needs some medication to make the brand back better. My god,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: you cannot be the face of that sport, the face
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: of the NBA, right and then when the moment is there,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it slaps you in the face. It it's a problem.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Oh you're nitpicking, Mallard. I don't think I am.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think I am.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: All right. That stank. Those kooties are gonna last for
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: a while. And there's no guarantee this guy's back every year.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: And not just him.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You look Aroun on the Spurs roster and certainly he's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the centerpiece.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna focus on Wenby.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: But that brings us to the last part of this diatribe,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the coaching part of the puzzle, and that is a
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: major issue.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Ultimately, I don't think coaching matters too much in the NBA.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: It can hurt you. I don't know that it helps
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: you that much, and in this case, that was a
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: net zero for the San Antonio Spurs. So the question,
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: does coach Mitch Johnson deserve to keep his job on
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the sidelines for the Spurs after that epic blown lead
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Paloosa in the NBA Finals. So if I own the team,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: hell no, he would be out. See you later. Mitch Johnson,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: who seems like a nice enough guy. He would not
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: have made it to the post finals news conference. I
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: would have said, listen, don't even bother, all right, you
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: don't work for us anymore, get out of here. And
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the Spurs they didn't just lose in the final. Obviously
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Wenby was the biggest culprit in this. They didn't just
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: losing the finals slow. The Spurs gift wrapped, absolutely, gift
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: wrapped it with a nice bow on top, and then
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: hand delivered these games, many of them to the Knicks.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I wasn't overly impressed with anything the Knicks did other
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: than not give up. It was just, hey, keep playing hard.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: The Spurs have a glitch. The doo hickey doesn't work.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And no matter what this cat Mitch Johnson did, it
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: didn't seem like he did much of anything. For several games,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: people were saying, hey, don't play the Aaron Fox. The
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: guy's a bomb, and he kept put him out there
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: a big moments. And this is the hubris of these
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: guys in the San Antonio Spurs organization, like we know
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: better than you.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Well, apparently you don't. This is one where the public
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: got it right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: And you're a bunch of Dingleberrys, you're a bunch of
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: Mama Lukes that you should have sat down to Aaron
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Fox for literally anyone. You could have had a fan
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: raffle and brought somebody in a Spurs season ticket older
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: although they all sold their tickets so they didn't go
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: to the game. It looked like Game six over the weekend,
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: my god, or Game five, I guess it was over
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the weekend. Can even make it the game six? Forget
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: about that. So anyway, listen, that's the thing now, much
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: like Wemby, a lot of you dumb thumbs are convinced, well,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: the youth thing that that is why he's going to
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: keep his job. And youth to me is not a
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: shield at thirty nine, and that's young in the coaching game.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: You're thirty nine years old, and at this point, based
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: on the way he did not adjust in the NBA Finals,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Mitch Johnson, the coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: He's already a New York Times best selling author. He
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: wrote Complete Idiots Guide on how not to coach well
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals and be so stubborn, so pigheaded you.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Don't make any key adjustments. They got to be the.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Dumbest team in the world, and that starts from the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: coach on the way down. They didn't just collapse down
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the stretch these Spurs. They invented new ways to suck
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: at a time you cannot suck blowing combined.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: I did the math on this.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: If you just go by the biggest lead in each game,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: they lost four right, lose four out of five in
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the final San Antonio, they blew seventy one points worth
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: of leads in futzing away those four games and losing
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. That is a that is a lifestyle,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: is what That is a twenty nine point blown lead.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: That is the thing that we will remember other than
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the outcome of this.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: That is the.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Mona Lisa of meltdowns to blow that big a lead.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And from Wemby's hair brain plays to de Aaron Fox,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: who they would not get rid of. He had the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: historic boner, Fox's boner when he had three options right,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: three out. You can either call time out and reset.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: They could just just dribble and get fouled and then
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: go to line or try to run to the basket
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: and see if you can get a basket.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: And of course that completely backfight.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: But from Wemby's disaster to Taron Fox or the coach,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the whole thing it was sloppy micslop. That's a new item,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: so an add on itam at McDonald sloppy mcslop. It's
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: a McDonald's sloppy Joe is what that is. So as
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: we always say, you're either coaching it or you're allowing
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it to happen. Mitch Johnson, So these Spurs were not outplayed,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: That's the thing about. It's like they were not outplayed,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: they were out coached and they they had a malfunction
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the what you McCall that did not work at the end.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: There disaster class, absolute disaster class for the San Antonio Spurs.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: So typically in the past someone gets sacrificed. It does
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: not seem like we're going to get that in San Antonio.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of fanboys in the crowd there. They
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: don't really hold the team accountable in San Antonio. So
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I would imagine that there will not be any accountability
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: if I own the team, though again I would get
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: rid of Miss Johnson. Is the Bant Mahler Show. If

  Speaker 1: the Mallard cow is alive anymore, though he said it
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: was last time. I'm confused about the life of the
• 24:50

• 25:01
  Speaker 1: It's getting sold well, Cowboy Drew, I don't know what
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you're listening to. I have not been on the radio
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: since the NBA Finals ended. This is the biggest story.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Nothing's bigger than that in the sporting world right now.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: So that's what we talked about. Alf the Alien Opiner
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: rites in from in between Worcester and Springfield and says,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: now that hockey and basketball are done, can I count
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: on you for three baseball and one football monologues per
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: night going forward? There you go, I'll start hot take validation.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: That's from Lucky Tony, he says, for Lucky Tony. Yeah,
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: so here's the deal. I will certainly talk a lot
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: of baseball talk baseball later on, and football, although really
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the only going on in football now is guys getting arrested.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of debauchery going on with NFL players.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I can't keep their nose clean, so that's a bit
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: of an issue. So if there's stuff to talk about,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: we're not going to force it though. Whatever pops up
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: key in nor Cow rights and it says with san
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Antonio clearly disinterested in winning, my Sacramento Kings finally have
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: a path to the finals. Well, congratulations Keith, because the
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Aaron Fox did help Mike Brown win a championship. It
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: took him playing on the opposite team, but his play
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: down the stretch was outstanding. Wayne the curmudgeon into Luth complaining.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: He says, enough pain, it's over. It's been beaten to
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: hell on this station again. I don't worry about other shows.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I don't listen to other shows here.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I do my own thing.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: So if you're too busy listening to every show, that's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: that's your thing. That's not my thing. I have not
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: opined on the NBA Finals. I've not been here, so
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: I should be. And by the way, I don't care
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: what other people do. It doesn't matter me. They can
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: talk about anything they want, tittley wings. It doesn't matter
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: what else do we have Rob. The goat Man says,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: you missed a major opportunity to lead off the show
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: with the real biggest sports championship of the week, the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: UFC Freedom two fifty and again, Rob, that's another thing
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: like that's a that's called a narrow casting. We do broadcasting.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I don't mention it. It's not a leadoff story. That's
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a bad job by you. You don't understand broadcasting, goat man.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: If you think that was the top story, it's a
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: bad job by you.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Shame on you.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: What else do we have? That's the page now, lawn
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: God Larry writes in and says, I think a lot
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: of us are burned out on the Wimby talk.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Won't be long. That stupid scataboo name will be all
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: over the radio. Get off my.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Lawn, all right? So everyone's complaining, man, you guys bitch
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: about everything. The Baltimore Freeloader account says tremendous monologue on
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the French onion Sourpuss Victor Wemba Nyabasi. Here's somebody that
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: gets it. Unlike you other losers, this guy gets it.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: He was a petulant child, says the Baltimore freeloader account.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Although the insufferable New York fans make me sick. They
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: don't shake hands even but they will turn over your
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: cab or your bus for free.
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: A lot of hudlums there in the Big Apple, right,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of lunatics.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: They're in New York City.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: And they any opportunity, right, any opportunity to cause debauchery.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: They are out there and they are going for it
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: as the Big Apple. After that NBA Finals, the Big
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Apple descended into total anarchy for stretches of time, chaos,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: The kids run amok. There was somebody got shot, a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: teenager got shot. The fans were tearing apart, burning school buses.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: The riot cops came running in, and all that because
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: the Knicks one little hunk of metal. According to Rob Manford,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: the Commissioner of Baseball. Yeah, so I'm not sure how
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: much of this was directly because of the Knicks and
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: how much of this was just crime happens in the
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: Big City and anything that happened that night, they're going
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to tie into the Knicks. Any person that called nine
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to one one it's because of the Knicks, And it's
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: not always the case. Although I got to tell those
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: guys in New York, and I know this from living
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: in La. The find the waymos. Those really burned well,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the school bus. It looked like it two a little
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: while for that thing to burn. The waymos though in
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: La when we had the last civil unrest in La.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: The lunatics that were burning the weamos. Those things are
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: like a gas grill. They really burn, really really well.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: It's the batteries that they're made out of, I do believe.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, those nineteen sixties school buses not ye, not as good,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: not quite as good there.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: So we'll take some calls. It is a call in show.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: And let's see here any meanie, miney mo. Let's go
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: to Steve, who's in South Dakota.

  Speaker 2: What's going on? Steve? Welcome, welcome man. How are you
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: going now, Steve?
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: He's our military veteran. He's seen it, he's lived a life, right,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: you have a life. You'd admit that, Steve? Yes, yes, exactly,
• 30:03

  Speaker 3: Wimby? What stiffy?
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: I prayed with French soldiers. They're all stiffies. Wimby that
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: didn't even flight.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Oh he played not in the fourth quarter like the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: last five minutes, but the rest of the game he
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: played it was like the last five minutes.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: It didn't go so well.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know how old you are been, but I
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: remember a guy named Luel Senders, skinny guy, came into
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: the NBA, went toe to toed with big Wilf Chamberlain. Yea,
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Wimby didn't go toe to toe, would No, he picked
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: on grunt.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Was that?
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Two games? Then three games?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Well even worse, even worse though.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Steve is the guy that played in the middle for
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the next Karl Anthony Towns has been long considered a
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: pussy willow flower, and he's now an NBA champion and
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: he did it against women. Be like the butt, that's right,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the butt of all these jokes. I mean, we've been
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: so many jokes about Karl Anthony Towns and yet and
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: there were stretches. He didn't play well either. However, he's
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: on the team that won, and Wemby's on the team
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: that lost. And Wemby's like God's gift to basketball.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: And that's a joke. I mean, come on, I never
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: fell for it, you know, I never got on that
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: band wed Well, there you go.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: See you're Steve. You held it, held your line there
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: and you were you have memories of French soldiers back

  Speaker 2: in the day, huh in your military. I love it.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I love it one more saying one more thing that

• 31:52
  Speaker 2: win those parlays? Are it's a bit of a suckers.
• 31:56
