2:31
Speaker 1: this hour is a hybrid. We're gonna go to basketball,
2:36
Speaker 1: but I wanted to start with something else because this story.
2:38
Speaker 1: There's a story that caught my attention and it involves
2:44
Speaker 1: college football. It involves the NFL, and so we're gonna
2:48
Speaker 1: go there prime time if you will yet again another
2:53
Speaker 1: Malard monologue about the life and times of everyone's favorite
2:56
Speaker 1: fifth round draft picture, dear Sanders. So you might have
2:59
Speaker 1: seen it, maybe not. There were some clips going around.
3:01
Speaker 1: Shouldur Sanders showed up with very expensive I guess that
3:05
Speaker 1: was a backpack. I guess it wasn't a back it
3:07
Speaker 1: was a bag. It was like a high end designer bag.
3:10
Speaker 1: As he showed up to Brown's practice, and the chatter
3:12
Speaker 1: continues about how he got there, regarding how someone who
3:17
Speaker 1: got so much attention ended up a fifth round draft pick. Now,
3:20
Speaker 1: if you've not heard the latest on this, and maybe not,
3:24
Speaker 1: we are told that multiple NFL executives have come out
3:29
Speaker 1: and put Dion Sanders on the astro blaster coach pram
3:35
Speaker 1: time Dion Sanders claiming that his involvement in Shadur Sanders'
3:41
Speaker 1: pre draft process played a large part in the massive
3:45
Speaker 1: free fall down the draft board of Shoulder Sanders. The
3:52
Speaker 1: money quote money quote from a story in the USA Today,
3:55
Speaker 1: the paper that has the weather map on the back
3:58
Speaker 1: that people used to read at hotels back in the day.
4:01
Speaker 1: I don't know anyone reads it now, But anyway, I
4:03
Speaker 1: guess they're still in business. And the quote was I
4:05
Speaker 1: think his dad's involvement hurt him. A high level NFL
4:09
Speaker 1: executive said, some of the things, some of the things
4:14
Speaker 1: that his dad said, I think that weighed on people's minds. Now,
4:18
Speaker 1: another executive said, I think he he had some bad
4:22
Speaker 1: advice from his father. He needed a traditional agent like
4:24
Speaker 1: other players. All right, so let us discuss the question
4:29
Speaker 1: what intrigues you the most? What intrigues you the most
4:32
Speaker 1: about the latest revelations, if you will, of Dion Sanders
4:38
Speaker 1: Herding Shadar Sanders NFL outlook, and he continues to be
4:43
Speaker 1: a narrative that is being pressed forward when you see
4:47
Speaker 1: these quotes from unnamed NFL sources. So my observations on this,
4:52
Speaker 1: I've got the King of pop, Supreme Court, and trivial pursuit,
4:57
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:01
Speaker 1: try not to have that sinking feeling. We're gonna try
5:03
Speaker 1: not to have that sinking feeling because we're gonna make
5:05
Speaker 1: the Gabba ghoul. And when you make the Gabba gool,
5:08
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have that sinking feeling. Numb burn can
5:13
Speaker 1: I get a numb burn. All right, So the passing
5:18
Speaker 1: the buck part of the story, that is the thing
5:20
Speaker 1: that stands out. The passing of the buck here. Dion
5:24
Speaker 1: Sanders being the villain is the word I we use
5:28
Speaker 1: is comical. I think it's comical. It's overly simplistic to
5:33
Speaker 1: blame Dion for this situation. To me, it does not
5:36
Speaker 1: pass the sniff test. It does not. And I believe
5:41
Speaker 1: in personal accountability, and so in this one, if you say,
5:46
Speaker 1: all right, who's really to blame? Is it Dion? Is
5:48
Speaker 1: it you dure like to me, it's always gonna fall
5:51
Speaker 1: on the classic song from the King of Pop, Michael Jackson,
5:54
Speaker 1: Man in the Mirror. It's the man in the mirror,
5:57
Speaker 1: and that is Shadura Sanders, the kid. And you said, well,
6:00
Speaker 1: it's Dion's fault because he's the father, and you know
6:03
Speaker 1: he raised him, and you know, okay, well, Dian was
6:05
Speaker 1: also in the NFL media world living his life. I
6:09
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know the dynamic there, of the
6:11
Speaker 1: family dynamic. But even if you have great parenting, sometimes
6:16
Speaker 1: the kid just turns out to be a you know,
6:18
Speaker 1: for years, you know, schmuck and all that, and it
6:21
Speaker 1: takes time to figure things out in life, and sometimes
6:24
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you've got perfect parents or not.
6:27
Speaker 1: Kid's gonna be kind of an a hole. And that's
6:29
Speaker 1: what happened. But to me, it's it's the arrogance of
6:32
Speaker 1: Shooter Sanders. It backfired spectacum. The stories were that he
6:38
Speaker 1: skipped workouts, he was selective in interviews. I thought, with
6:40
Speaker 1: all that, well, he's not going to fall. I thought
6:43
Speaker 1: he'd be drafted at the end of the first round
6:45
Speaker 1: or early in the second round. I don't think he
6:46
Speaker 1: was drafting the fifth round. Nobody did. But there were
6:49
Speaker 1: reports that he was a grade AID grade A you know,
6:54
Speaker 1: Dingo Berry Schmendrick, and he treated the NFL like they
6:58
Speaker 1: needed him more than he needed them. He thought that
7:01
Speaker 1: he was God's gift to the NFL, and he could
7:03
Speaker 1: not have been more wrong, at least in the draft process.
7:07
Speaker 1: And that's that's the rub. If he had been the
7:09
Speaker 1: same way yet had the guaranteed level of success in
7:16
Speaker 1: the eyes of the NFL world, it would not have mattered.
7:19
Speaker 3: Right.
7:20
Speaker 1: If he was the perfect prospect, then he would have
7:23
Speaker 1: been drafted in the first round. He would have been
7:26
Speaker 1: the first quarterback pick. But spoiler alert. He obviously has
7:30
Speaker 1: many warts and imperfections, and it did not help that
7:35
Speaker 1: he channeled Cam Newton with the the the chest puffs,
7:41
Speaker 1: the pelvic thrust, the arrogance struts that amplified the scrutiny.
7:46
Speaker 1: And so here we are. They're still blaming Dion and
7:50
Speaker 1: I'm also annoyed. I know it's a pet peeve of
7:53
Speaker 1: mine with the people that are convinced you have to
7:56
Speaker 1: have an agent. And it's I've used the analogy before.
8:02
Speaker 1: It's like asking a lawyer if you need legal counsel,
8:06
Speaker 1: They're going to tell you, of course you need legal
8:09
Speaker 1: counselor or if it's like do I have a case?
8:12
Speaker 1: If you ask a lawyer, well yeah, most lawyers are
8:14
Speaker 1: going to say, yes, you have a case. How much
8:17
Speaker 1: money do you have? That's how big a case you have?
8:20
Speaker 1: Now turning the page, I'm gonna go back to pro
8:24
Speaker 1: bouncy ball. The Pacers are up two to oh over
8:27
Speaker 1: the Calves. There was no game in this series last night,
8:30
Speaker 1: just the Timberwolves beating the Warriors last night. But the
8:33
Speaker 1: Pacers are up too oh. They win both games in Cleveland,
8:36
Speaker 1: big road wins like big time, big time wins, so
8:40
Speaker 1: even on a day off, even on a day off
8:43
Speaker 1: in this series, they picked up a victory. We have
8:46
Speaker 1: learned that ty Reese Halliburton over readed. Tyrese Haliburton is
8:54
Speaker 1: not going to be fine, was not fine for his
8:58
Speaker 1: big Balls dan celebration after hitting that game winning dagga
9:03
Speaker 1: the three pointer against the Cleveland basketball team back in
9:06
Speaker 1: Game two of the Eastern Conference semi finals. Remember he
9:10
Speaker 1: did the big Balls dance and we said, well, that's
9:12
Speaker 1: a tax deductible donation. Well, the NBA chose to issue
9:16
Speaker 1: a warning instead of a fine. So question for the
9:21
Speaker 1: esteem panel, how surprised are you that the NBA overlords
9:27
Speaker 1: allowed Tyrese Haliburton a free big balls dance partay, allowed
9:33
Speaker 1: him to get away with it. So my first thought
9:36
Speaker 1: is it's abnormal. That's not my opinion, it is in fact,
9:41
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court of Basketball has overturned the standard. They've
9:48
Speaker 1: overturned the president of previous rules. Now, what is my
9:54
Speaker 1: evidence if you go back to twenty ten, fifteen years ago,
9:58
Speaker 1: I remember doing monologues right here in twenty ten that
10:01
Speaker 1: the NBA had said no to big balls. The NBA
10:05
Speaker 1: had said, we have no room for big balls. You
10:08
Speaker 1: can't tell anyone you've got big balls, and they've been
10:12
Speaker 1: It became taboo. And one of the last ones to
10:15
Speaker 1: get away with it was Kobe Bryant who did a
10:18
Speaker 1: big Balls celebration, but it wasn't illegal. It was after
10:22
Speaker 1: that a year later, in twenty ten, they banned the balls.
10:25
Speaker 1: So Halliburton himself, there's a quote going around he expected
10:29
Speaker 1: to get fined. He said, I've been waiting for that.
10:32
Speaker 1: I'll take the fine gladly close quote. Halliburton said he
10:36
Speaker 1: was aware of the president. He was aware of the president. Now,
10:39
Speaker 1: the NBA has a history of fighting players, going back again,
10:43
Speaker 1: we're talking about fifteen years here for the Serrano from
10:47
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball. The movie celebration deemed obscene, right, and
10:53
Speaker 1: the NBA generally finds you between fifteen and twenty five
10:56
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So if you do the math on that,
11:00
Speaker 1: it's like, if it's twenty five thousand dollars, it's twelve thousand,
11:04
Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. I believe I think the math is
11:07
Speaker 1: right on there per big ball. So that's an expensive ball,
11:12
Speaker 1: and it depends on the incident and if you've done
11:14
Speaker 1: it before. Now, Sam Cassell half man, half alien, if
11:17
Speaker 1: you remember him, was the og of this kind of move.
11:22
Speaker 1: Now more recently, Lebron was fined for this a couple
11:24
Speaker 1: of years ago. Fred van Vliet was fine when he
11:27
Speaker 1: was in Toronto. Isaiah Thomas, the Celtics guy, he got
11:31
Speaker 1: dingg for this. But now it appears the NBA has
11:35
Speaker 1: decided that they are going to embrace their big balls
11:38
Speaker 1: and that the celebration will be adjudicated on a case
11:41
Speaker 1: by case basis. So okay, you're good to go. You
11:46
Speaker 1: think that was a side deal with Haliburton's like, hey, listen,
11:48
Speaker 1: we banned your dad from going to the games, that
11:50
Speaker 1: you're allowed to do the big balls things. That's the deal,
11:54
Speaker 1: all right? Final point. We now head to TV Land
11:58
Speaker 1: where pro bouncy ball haul famer Paul Pierce, a Boston
12:03
Speaker 1: Celtics legend, went viral, went viral on Thursday. He walked
12:09
Speaker 1: approximately twenty miles from his home, which is not far
12:13
Speaker 1: away from the Fox Sports radio studios, but he walked
12:18
Speaker 1: from there to the Fox Sports one studios, which are
12:21
Speaker 1: in West LA, to fulfill at bet he made during
12:26
Speaker 1: some show that he does that, like, you know, I
12:29
Speaker 1: guess people like that. I don't know the name of it.
12:30
Speaker 1: I don't I've remember seen the show. Anyway, Pierce garon
12:34
Speaker 1: t He guaranteed that the Celtics were gonna win Game
12:39
Speaker 1: two of their series with the next season, well, that's it,
12:42
Speaker 1: We're gonna win. That's it, We're gonna win raw raw
12:45
Speaker 1: and all that. He stated that he would walk to work,
12:49
Speaker 1: which is like fifteen twenty miles something like that, in
12:52
Speaker 1: his robe and barefoot. That was the bet. I will
12:55
Speaker 1: walk to work, Paul Pierce said, fifteen twenty miles in
12:59
Speaker 1: my robe, barefoot.
13:01
Speaker 4: If if the.
13:03
Speaker 1: Celtics lost, well, of course we know they lost. And
13:06
Speaker 1: so there's video of this, Paul Pierce walking to work,
13:09
Speaker 1: and several of you knuckleheads, you mouth breathing morons, have
13:15
Speaker 1: complained to me, well you see, look, look, Paul Pierce
13:18
Speaker 1: did it. You didn't look to Tucson. You said you're
13:21
Speaker 1: gonna walked. I ain't you.
13:24
Speaker 4: You didn't do it all.
13:25
Speaker 1: Okay, let me address this. Okay, I would like to
13:29
Speaker 1: address this. If you've listened for a while, you might
13:33
Speaker 1: not know this. This wager was made many many, many
13:39
Speaker 1: many years ago. We're going way back. In fact, I'd
13:43
Speaker 1: have to go back and look to see exactly what
13:44
Speaker 1: year this wager has made. It's a long time and
13:48
Speaker 1: some of these morons still remember this. So I was
13:52
Speaker 1: on the air during the NCAA NCAA Men's basketball Tournament Arizona.
13:56
Speaker 1: This is how long ago. Lude Olsen was the coach.
13:58
Speaker 1: He's been dead for years, but loude Ole's was coaching
14:00
Speaker 1: against Illinois and Arizona had a commanding lead in the
14:05
Speaker 1: final minutes, and I was practicing the ancient art of
14:09
Speaker 1: gas baggery and I rant it and I raved and
14:12
Speaker 1: I said, there's no way that Illinois is going to
14:14
Speaker 1: win this game. It's in the bag for Arizona. And
14:17
Speaker 1: if Arizona loses, I will walk to Tucson. From the
14:21
Speaker 1: Fox Sports radio studios to Tucson. But we know what happened.
14:24
Speaker 1: We've been through the story a bunch of times. I
14:26
Speaker 1: went to management. I said I'd like to walk to Tucson.
14:29
Speaker 1: My boss, the late Great Andrew Ashwood at the time,
14:31
Speaker 1: said Ben, you're morbidly obese. You'll die before you get
14:34
Speaker 1: to Riverside. And I said, I want to do it.
14:38
Speaker 1: And then we did the math. We determined how many
14:39
Speaker 1: miles I could walk per day, how many days it
14:41
Speaker 1: would take. We then looked at the weather at that time.
14:44
Speaker 1: It was the tournament was in March, so the weather
14:47
Speaker 1: wasn't too bad, but it was kind of a hot
14:50
Speaker 1: week the time we were talking about doing it. So anyway,
14:53
Speaker 1: it didn't happen. So let's get into this here. Let's
14:56
Speaker 1: get into it question. Are you jealous that Paul Pierce
15:01
Speaker 1: paid off his TV bet to walk twenty miles to work?
15:04
Speaker 1: And people are accusing yours truly of not paying off
15:07
Speaker 1: the bet. So I'm gonna shake my head no on this.
15:11
Speaker 1: And by the way, by the way, as the oracle
15:16
Speaker 1: of truth, I buy into the tinfoil hat conspiracy. Is
15:23
Speaker 1: it true that while the illusion was that Paul Pierce
15:27
Speaker 1: actually walked all the way twenty miles to work, is
15:31
Speaker 1: it true that he actually did not pay off the wager?
15:36
Speaker 1: Say what, let me explain. We're gonna call this the
15:40
Speaker 1: trivial pursuit. If you listen to the words and you
15:45
Speaker 1: read the fine print, Paul Pierce failed on a technicality.
15:51
Speaker 1: He had said very specifically, very specifically, Paul Pierce had
15:56
Speaker 1: said he was gonna walk to work the fifteen to
15:59
Speaker 1: twenty miles. Whatever I was in his robe, bear foot,
16:03
Speaker 1: bear foot, barefoot, barefoot if they lost. So Pierce got
16:11
Speaker 1: up early on Thursday, Yeah, got up early, start walking.
16:15
Speaker 1: He documented everything on Instagram live, and he was wearing
16:19
Speaker 1: his bathrobe like you said. However, however, he had shoes,
16:25
Speaker 1: He had shoes, He had clodhoppers, shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes,
16:32
Speaker 1: Paul Pierce war shoes. He did not pay off the bet.
16:38
Speaker 1: That is fraudulent and it's bull crap. It's absolute bull
16:42
Speaker 1: crap that people said, well, he put it off the bet.
16:44
Speaker 1: He didn't pay off the bet. He didn't pay off
16:46
Speaker 1: the bet. I paid off my bet, my last bet
16:50
Speaker 1: that I made. I said I was gonna eat Rocky
16:52
Speaker 1: Mountain oisters. I ate Rocky Mountain oysters. So the move
16:57
Speaker 1: is yours, mister Pierce. You didn't pay off your bet.
17:00
Speaker 1: You wore shows. I said I was gonna eat Rocky
17:03
Speaker 1: Mountain oisters. I ate Rocky Mountain oisters. Done. You, on
17:07
Speaker 1: the other hand, did not meet the conditions of the bet.
17:10
Speaker 1: You didn't do it. It's a bad job by you, and
17:14
Speaker 1: it's it's you can't trust the media. Another example of
17:18
Speaker 1: the media giving you fake news that Paul Pierce paid
17:22
Speaker 1: off the bet. He said, no shows, Paul Pierce war
17:25
Speaker 1: shows choose ridiculous, don't fall for it. Fake news. It
17:34
Speaker 1: is the Ben Mahler Show. As we are working our
17:38
Speaker 1: way through the late night hours here we thank you
17:40
Speaker 1: for being part of the show on the overnight as
17:41
Speaker 1: we slug it out, as we fight the good fight.

Speaker 1: If you would like to be part you who can
17:51
Speaker 1: join us right now? Yeah you can't. Eight seven seven
17:55
Speaker 1: ninety nine on the Fox. I just got an angry
17:57
Speaker 1: email from a guy. Ben. You said you were gonna
17:59
Speaker 1: do Tom Brady story, and you didn't do the Tom
18:01
Speaker 1: Brady story. Why would you say you were gonna do
18:03
Speaker 1: it if you were gonna do it, because I got
18:05
Speaker 1: carried away and I had to do the play of
18:06
Speaker 1: the day, and the play of the Day is more
18:07
Speaker 1: important because it's a sponsored bet, and so instead of
18:09
Speaker 1: doing the Brady story, I did the Play of the
18:11
Speaker 1: day because it was sponsored and that's how it works.
18:14
Speaker 1: But I'll get to the Brady story, Brady regretting one
18:17
Speaker 1: of the greatest things he ever did. We'll get to that.
18:20
Speaker 1: And an international story, an international story that everyone in
18:27
Speaker 1: the world is aware of, and yet a professional sports
18:31
Speaker 1: team is in the middle of it for all the
18:34
Speaker 1: wrong reasons, for all the wrong reasons. And there's a
18:38
Speaker 1: pretty good chance, a pretty good chance that we are
18:44
Speaker 1: indirectly connected to this particular story. And we'll get into
18:50
Speaker 1: that as well, and we'll take your calls. Also later
18:52
Speaker 1: this hour, Mallard of the third Degree, that'll be coming
18:54

21:05
Speaker 1: a Hodgepodge Mallard monologue. We began ranting there about the
21:09
Speaker 1: Dion Sanders accusations when no accountability for Shadur Sanders. There
21:16
Speaker 1: was that also Tyres Halliburton who was allowed to do
21:19
Speaker 1: the Big Balls dance and the fake news about Paul Pierce.
21:23
Speaker 1: And he paid off his bet, and he did not
21:27
Speaker 1: pay off the bet. He wore shoes and so therefore
21:30
Speaker 1: he did not pay off the bed ferg Dog Wrtsin
21:33
Speaker 1: says no lies detected in the malt of monologue. Paul
21:36
Speaker 1: Pierce is a fraud and you are the man right,
21:40
Speaker 1: you're a man of your word. Absolutely, Alf the Alien
21:46
Speaker 1: o'piner points out that that bet, holy crap. That bet
21:50
Speaker 1: was made in twenty five. That's twenty twenty years ago.
21:54
Speaker 1: Holy crap. Wow. And he also quoted a legend that
21:59
Speaker 1: no longer is a regular member of the Malad militia.
22:02
Speaker 1: But I hope he's still all right. Rob in belcher Towown.
22:07
Speaker 1: Rob was a big part of the show for years
22:09
Speaker 1: and it's kind of faded away. I think he's working
22:12
Speaker 1: a different shift or whatever. But God, that's been that
22:15
Speaker 1: long man. That is a long time. Josh points out Ben,
22:20
Speaker 1: good job on paying off the bet. That was actual
22:24
Speaker 1: Rocky Mountain Oysters unlike Paul Pierce, you're not a liar. Well,
22:28
Speaker 1: thank you, Josh, I appreciate that. Good job by you.
22:33
Speaker 1: Mark says, I went to the University of Arizona, so
22:35
Speaker 1: of course I watched that game because I had to
22:38
Speaker 1: chew the testicles. Then he names some players that were there.
22:42
Speaker 1: He said, Darren Williams from the Dallas Fort Worth area
22:45
Speaker 1: hit the three pointer to tie the game. I think
22:47
Speaker 1: it was Darren Williams. And was it Luther Head was
22:49
Speaker 1: on Illinois that year. I think I think that was
22:53
Speaker 1: the team there. Yeah, absolutely, truck stop Fungus. Right. Since this,
22:57
Speaker 1: every time you mentioned Halliburton, I think Dick Cheney and
23:01
Speaker 1: Weapons of mass Destruction. Yeah, I do. When I see
23:07
Speaker 1: Halliburton's name, I do also think of the contractor Halliburton.
23:11
Speaker 1: I do, just is in the back of my head.
23:13
Speaker 1: So I was like, is he somehow connected? Like is
23:17
Speaker 1: that a family name? Is there something going on there?
23:22
Speaker 1: S box Weed from the Oregon Trail It says, Bill
23:26
Speaker 1: Handle will tell you you have absolutely no case. Yes,
23:30
Speaker 1: the great Handle on the law, which I think he's
23:34
Speaker 1: still doing. Nick the Wendy's Guy writes in says, I

Speaker 1: be coming up later today, and I think there might
23:56
Speaker 1: be a story about your company there, Nick In in
23:59
Speaker 1: the pod, So I know that's that's a tease. That
24:04

24:35
Speaker 5: Jimmy.
24:36
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to say what I said.
24:38
Speaker 1: Well, you're not Jimmy. Why would you use the name
24:41
Speaker 1: You're hollowing James. Why are you saying your name is Jimmy.
24:46
Speaker 3: Let's cut through the tape.
24:49
Speaker 1: What are you talking about. Why are you using the
24:51
Speaker 1: name Jimmy.
24:52
Speaker 3: You're hollering James, Jimmy.
24:56
Speaker 1: No, you're not allowed to change your name. You're not.
25:01
Speaker 3: I can't do the change your venue.
25:04
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to change your name. You're known as
25:06
Speaker 1: Hollering James. That's a great name, that's a famous name.
25:09
Speaker 1: Why would you want to change the name.
25:11
Speaker 3: I can't change the name.
25:12
Speaker 1: You're not allowed to change the name. It's ridiculous to
25:15
Speaker 1: change the name. That is what you're known as.
25:19
Speaker 3: Like I was in.
25:21
Speaker 1: You're Hollering James. He's like, I'll give it a story
25:24
Speaker 1: years ago that there was this famous painter, one of
25:27
Speaker 1: the great painters of my life, and his name was
25:29
Speaker 1: Bob Ross. No Bob Ross. So Bob Ross. He hosted,
25:33
Speaker 1: He was on a TV show on Public Access TV
25:35
Speaker 1: and became.
25:36
Speaker 3: A viral hit Channel two.
25:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bob Ross. He used to paint these weird, like
25:43
Speaker 1: not weird photos, but just photos of landscape. So Bob Ross.
25:47
Speaker 1: To save money, he got his hair in the in
25:49
Speaker 1: like a perm right. He hated it. He wanted to
25:52
Speaker 1: change the haircut. They wouldn't let him because that was
25:56
Speaker 1: what made him unique. So he kept the haircut because
26:00
Speaker 1: that's what he was known as. And you're known as
26:02
Speaker 1: Hollering James. You're not, Damn Jimmys.
26:04
Speaker 3: I'll keep the name Hey, but I gotta start for
26:07
Speaker 3: you too. Now that you're talking about that famous painter.
26:09
Speaker 3: There's a guy named Tom twos right, and he used
26:12
Speaker 3: for Jeffrey Lewis. I asked him to bring me a
26:16
Speaker 3: gold player titanium bracelet. Figure out he brought me a
26:22
Speaker 3: stalless steel one. This steeling steel bracelet wears ten ounces.
26:30
Speaker 1: That's what's known as a non sequitur, hollowing.
26:32
Speaker 3: James that I don't even know a big boys like that.
26:36
Speaker 3: You know, you know what year I graduated high school
26:39
Speaker 3: and I don't want to know. Nineteen ninety three, the
26:42
Speaker 3: year I graduated in high school in do you know
26:44
Speaker 3: what he is? The post graduated into high school?
26:49
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I took it a long term.
26:53
Speaker 3: They pushed me through high school man, like some of
26:56
Speaker 3: these famous athletes.
26:58
Speaker 1: Yeh, attention advertisers, you can reach the demographic. Yes, guys
27:03
Speaker 1: would take twenty years to graduate from high school. Yeah,
27:06
Speaker 1: all right, all right, I gotta go thank you, all right,
27:08
Speaker 1: go away? And you used a fake name. You're done
27:11
Speaker 1: with me, Go away? You used a fake name. What's
27:14
Speaker 1: wrong with you? Let's go to Stanley, who's in the Commonwealth.
27:18
Speaker 1: Hello Stanley, welcome, good.
27:23
Speaker 6: Good morning, on the East Coast at all three hundred
27:25
Speaker 6: hours or three thirty. Man, my Celtics are starting to
27:29
Speaker 6: disappoint me, and I think we should talk about it
27:31
Speaker 6: real quick. I think analytics has ruined the game to
27:34
Speaker 6: the point where and I even heard it on ninety
27:37
Speaker 6: five the Sports of the last couple of days that
27:40
Speaker 6: analytics is, hey, jb keep shooting this threes just to
27:43
Speaker 6: drive up our numbers. Because as as you know, as
27:46
Speaker 6: excuse me, as you know, this past year, the subjects
27:50
Speaker 6: not only made so many threes that during the regular season,
27:53
Speaker 6: they also attempted the most threes. And for some reason,
27:58
Speaker 6: Jill Missoula does it know when to attack the basket
28:02
Speaker 6: when it comes to when they're not making these threes.
28:04
Speaker 6: So my thing is this upcoming game, either they take
28:07
Speaker 6: over and actually hold the lead or they're just going
28:11
Speaker 6: to live and die by the three. And the second
28:13
Speaker 6: point I'm going to make here is I think Joe
28:15
Speaker 6: Mazzola is the worst coach when it comes to other
28:17
Speaker 6: three minutes in the fourth quarter games in the fourth quarter.
28:21
Speaker 6: And that's like something that's really bothering me as a
28:23
Speaker 6: SOCC fan.
28:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't really do anything, so he just kind
28:27
Speaker 1: of lets him do whatever they want.
28:28
Speaker 2: I just know.
28:31
Speaker 1: It's not really coaching. It's like I think you could
28:33
Speaker 1: probably stand there, Stanley and just kind of look like
28:35
Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. If we put that that
28:37
Speaker 1: NBA logo like pullover thing on you and you kind
28:40
Speaker 1: of stand there like these coaches, you could pretend to
28:43
Speaker 1: be a coach and just let the players play and
28:46
Speaker 1: run the same exact play that you ran the previous play.
28:49
Speaker 1: But it's not going away. I mean, the analytics are
28:51
Speaker 1: here and they got all the spreadsheets and you know,
28:54
Speaker 1: the predictable decisions and all that. It's all data determined,
28:59
Speaker 1: and that's everyone's doing it. Man, No one's I don't
29:02
Speaker 1: know anyone who's not playing that way. They're all it's all.
29:05
Speaker 1: They all went to the same Ted talk and they
29:07
Speaker 1: figured out this is the only way to do it,
29:09
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do it this way, and then that's it.
29:12
Speaker 1: And the Celtics are going to play this way because
29:14
Speaker 1: they just assume they'll they'll make their shots on Saturday
29:17
Speaker 1: against the Knicks and then then that's it and then
29:20
Speaker 1: they'll win that game and then they're on their way back.
29:22
Speaker 1: And they just follow the numbers it's paint by numbers essentially,
29:26
Speaker 1: what it is paint by numbers. You play the percentages.
29:28
Speaker 3: So that's the thing.
29:31
Speaker 6: Yes, analytics in the last ten years from when I
29:34
Speaker 6: stopped playing college ball and noticing that analytics is affected
29:37
Speaker 6: basically like a virus that affected MLB, n B, A
29:42
Speaker 6: n s L, NHL and MLB. It doesn't It doesn't
29:46
Speaker 6: work at all. Like I honestly will say, it's called
29:49
Speaker 6: it should be just common sense. If you can't hit
29:51
Speaker 6: the threes, I would.
29:54
Speaker 1: Argue, you can hold on I mean hold on state.
29:59
Speaker 1: I mean you could actually do both, right, you could
30:01
Speaker 1: follow the numbers to a point, but then at the
30:04
Speaker 1: same time you have to you can't be predictable. Like
30:07
Speaker 1: that's problem. These analytical based teams are all predictable. You
30:10
Speaker 1: know exactly what they're gonna do, and they're gonna do
30:13
Speaker 1: something in the next couple of years. With a three
30:14
Speaker 1: point shot. There's too many three point shots the NBA.
30:17
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what they're gonna do, whether they limit
30:20
Speaker 1: how many, how many shots or maybe no three point
30:23
Speaker 1: shots for the first five minutes of every quarter. They're
30:25
Speaker 1: gonna do something. They're gonna do something to mess with
30:28
Speaker 1: the three. There's too many. There's too many three point shots.
30:30
Speaker 1: All right, I gotta go Stanley, but thank you for
30:32
Speaker 1: tuning in. There sounds like Stanley might have been in
30:34
Speaker 1: the military because he had military time, you know at
30:36
Speaker 1: the beginning there, Yeah, dead giveaway. That is a dead
30:41
Speaker 1: give way. So Tom Brady, I saw this. I thought
30:45
Speaker 1: this was interesting. So Tom Brady recently essentially apologize. He
30:51
Speaker 1: says he's got regrets. He says that he regrets what
30:55
Speaker 1: to me, this is one of the great things Tom
30:56
Speaker 1: Brady's done. The Netflix Combody roast. Brady says he has
31:02
Speaker 1: regrets now he played the kid cards from the bottom
31:04
Speaker 1: of the deck. But Brady says he does regret participating
31:09
Speaker 1: in the roast. This is the worst possible answer by
31:11
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. And here's why. It is believed that that
31:15
Speaker 1: is one of the points of demarcation in pop culture
31:20
Speaker 1: in America. Remember how bad comedy had been, how everyone
31:24
Speaker 1: was afraid to say anything, and you had the public
31:27
Speaker 1: private like privately, people were telling the same offensive jokes
31:30
Speaker 1: people have always told because people love offensive jokes. But
31:33
Speaker 1: comedians were worried. There were people getting canceled for jokes,
31:37
Speaker 1: and it was it was ridiculous. For years it was
31:39
Speaker 1: like that, and that was seen as a point of
31:43
Speaker 1: demarcation that Tom Brady roast on Netflix where they just
31:47
Speaker 1: let it rip and it absolutely killed and it opened
31:52
Speaker 1: some things up. It opened comedy up a little bit more.
31:56
Speaker 1: People were like a little freer after that. That is
31:58
Speaker 1: a wonderful thing, a wonderful thing. So bad job by
32:03
Speaker 1: by Tom Brady's saying, Hebert Griss, you played the kid
32:06
Speaker 1: card and all that. You know, listen, keep your kids
32:08
Speaker 1: away from certain things. You're as a parent, you can
32:11
Speaker 1: do that now the Chicago Cubs quickly, the Cubs are
32:16
Speaker 1: getting killed here. They were publicly humiliated. They named a
32:20
Speaker 1: new pope, Pope Leo, and Pope Leo's from Chicago. The
32:25
Speaker 1: initial story was that even though he grew up on
32:28
Speaker 1: the South Side, the baddest part of town, on the
32:30
Speaker 1: South side of Chicago, that he was a Cub fan.
32:35
Speaker 1: That's where the rich north siders are in Chicago. Lorena,
32:38
Speaker 1: you know the north side. Tell me more. Yeah, you'd
32:42
Speaker 1: be more prone to go that's side of Chicago anyway.
32:45
Speaker 1: So the Cubs sent out some comments all they're all excited,
32:48
Speaker 1: like the pope's a Cub fan. Well, then the Pope's
32:52
Speaker 1: brother says, no, no, no, no. His mom was a
32:55
Speaker 1: Cub fan. The Pope's mom was a Cub fan. Check
32:58
Speaker 1: this out. His mom was a Cub fan. His dad
32:59
Speaker 1: was a Cardinal fan. So if you put a cardinal
33:02
Speaker 1: fan and a club fan together, you produce a White
33:06
Speaker 1: Sox fan and the Pope. And so the Pope's imagine
33:11
Speaker 1: your brother ends up being the Pope. That's got to
33:13
Speaker 1: be wild, right. Can you imagine that you have a
33:15
Speaker 1: sibling and they become the Pope. That's gotta be nuts.
33:17
Speaker 1: So anyway, so this guy's a lifelong White Sox fan.
33:20
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure that Pope Leo
33:24
Speaker 1: has heard this show. Let me explain. So, when the
33:27
Speaker 1: White Sox were in the World Series years ago, we
33:30
Speaker 1: were on the score in Chicago. We were on in
33:35
Speaker 1: Chicago overnight sports radio, and I'm gonna assume the Pope
33:40
Speaker 1: was celebrating. He wasn't the Pope then, but he there's
33:43
Speaker 1: photos of him at White Sox games. And if your
33:46
Speaker 1: team wins a championship, you stay up late listening to
33:49
Speaker 1: overnight radio. You want to soak it all in. So
33:52
Speaker 1: could it be that Pope Leo is a Malard militia
33:56
Speaker 1: member at the Vatican, now developing hot dot dot dot.
34:02
Speaker 1: All right, time now, time now for the Insta trivia.
34:05
Speaker 1: We'll get to Mallard of the third degree. I'm gonna
34:08
Speaker 1: have alf Alf send a letter to the Vatican and
34:11
Speaker 1: ask the Pope for me. Ask the Pope if the
34:14
Speaker 1: Pope's a fan of the show. That would be like
34:17
Speaker 1: the Pete and Pittsburgh spoke Caanngary era. Blind Scott was
34:21
Speaker 1: still part of the show back then. But let me know,
34:23
Speaker 1: all right, here's the Insta trivia. Since twenty thirteen, Draymond
34:28
Speaker 1: Green has the most technical fouls in the playoffs. Blank
34:33
Speaker 1: is second to the Warriors Star in terms of technical
34:37
Speaker 1: fouls in the playoffs. That's going back to last twelve years.
34:41
Speaker 1: That is the Insta trivia. We'll get to it and
34:44

34:46
Speaker 1: that and we will do it next.
