  Speaker 1: the way the tire buying showy. And we're back at
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it again, back in in the saddle again and know
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: what a story it is our lead this hour from Gotham,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: a follow up follow up to a previous Malard monologue.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: After winning the universally agreed upon Fugasey NBA Cup the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: other day, the New York Knickerbockers shocked the basketball world
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: in a good way. Did you hear what they did?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Did you know? You didn't see it? Okay, you didn't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: see this. So after a brief deliberation the New York Dings,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: even though coach Mike Brown was pumping his chest out
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: about how they were gonna put a little banner up
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: there at the garden, the Knicks decided X nay on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the banner. A no, no, no, no no. They they
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: blocked it like more Tomball back in the day. The
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: next decided they will not raise a painter at Madison
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Square Garden to commemorate the NBA Cup championship. Now, keep
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: in mind the Lakers. The Bucks did this, they hung
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: actual banners for the NBA Cup, and it took the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Knicks to say no, Wow. Is that a great jumping
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: off point? So let us discuss the question for the class,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and you're part of the class. What is the word?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: What is the word for the Knicks rejecting the NBA's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: request to hang a cup banner at Madison Square Garden.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: So I've got my thoughts on this. I've got AirPods,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: banana cream pie, and Instagram filters, and we'll combine all
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of these things together and we are going to make
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: some delicious cinnamon rolls. I don't know anyone that doesn't
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: like cinnam rolls. If you ever meet someone that doesn't
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: like cinnamon rolls, bad people, bad people, all right? So
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a my word again, the question was, what's the word
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: for the Knicks rejecting the NBA's request to hang a
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: cup banner? My word is gravitas. That's my word. Good
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: job by James Dolan, the mercenary ooder of the New
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: York Knicks. James Dolan, credit to him, He's the adult
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in the room. He didn't bite the cheese, he didn't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: do it. I get the Lakers in Bucks hung banners
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: for the NBA Cup, And you know, dumb that that's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: like going to Augusta and winning the par three contest
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and saying, hey, can I have one of those green jackets? Well,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: well no, that's not that's not the Masters. But I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: won the par three I know, but that's we don't
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: do the par three. We don't give out the green jacketman.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But no, no, no, I want a green jacket. I needed. No,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you don't get a green jacket. It's a par three,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: but nobody I deserve one. No, you don't, dummy. If
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you go out win the Augusta Masters, will give you
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a green jake. But no, I want to have one.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I want my I want my green jacket. Or how
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: about like if Duke won the Maui Invitational and said,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know what, why don't we hang a championship banner
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: up there? And you're all those coach k championships and
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: all that right there at Cameron Indoor. No, No, have
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: some have some shame, right uh? And Massive Square Garden
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: is not your little scrap book. Now. They don't win
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a lot there. They don't win a lot, but they
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: take a lot of those wall street. Weasels money. They
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: buy those tickets, right, all those fortune five hundred dopes,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they buy those tickets. The Cathedral there, the Mecca in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: midtown Manhattan, right over Penn Station there. And so saying
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: no to this banner for the Knicks two words dragon balls,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: all right, dragon balls. That the air pods are playing
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: rage against the machine, fight the machine. It's a beautiful world.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And this tells you everything about where the Knicks think
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: they're going now. They like they won't win the championship.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: They think they're going to win the championship. They have
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: bigger goals on their mind, right, and they want something
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a little bigger than that no aluminum foil trophy. It's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: so great, and it's good for Jaialen Brunson. You know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be the nick that raised that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: stupid I mean, it's so dumb. You're not there to
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: collect little trinkets and all that stuff. You're chasing some
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: kind of history. And so there will be a muted
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: their quiet celebration. You celebrate quietly, and you win loudly.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And so the malor verdict on this one that is
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: adult behavior. Good job, buy the Knicks. And it's also
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Ton because page two, as we take a deeper dive,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and we dive a little bit deeper, here the question
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: who's the biggest loser? Who's the biggest loser from the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Knicks and their owner James Dolan, their stiff arming the
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: NBA Cup banner at MSG so spoiler alert, spoiler alert,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: it is not Adam Silver, half man, half alien, who
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: he and his lizard people friends live out in the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: ocean somewhere. But it's not Adam Silver. I know that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this is Adam Silver's pride and joy. This is his baby,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: it's his little baby. It's his Frankenstein monster that he's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: stitched together, ripping off global soccer, not realizing that that
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: doesn't play in the US of A. I'm pretty sure
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that Adam Silver will live. He'll probably live forever because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he's half man, half alien. The real casualty in this
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Genie Buss, the outgoing Laker owner. Remember the strategic leak
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: from the Lakers a couple of years ago, Well, yeah,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: they put out there in the cosmos and they use
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: whispers to useful idiots, and there's a lot of useful
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: idiot that love the Lakers. They slobber all over the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Lakers man. They love those historians. So the useful idiots
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: in the media they repeated the company line from the Lakers,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: as we understand it, and the company line was something
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to the effect is we we had no choice. The
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: league made us do it. The League made us do it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well well well, well, well well well looky LOOKI here
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: can we cue the price is right? Loser horn loser
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: with the capital L. Turns out that that reporting, which
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: more likely than not came from the Lakers, was bullpucky,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: just absolute bullpucky. Jason proves, because you see James Dolan,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: he just proved beyond a reasonable doubt. We have actual data,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: actual evidence here, empirical evidence that you don't have to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: put the bann up. Those are optional. These banners are optional.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And the nick said, now we're good, don't need that. Meanwhile,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the Lakers hung a certificate of participation like it was
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: some kind of purple heart, which is not surprising because
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: that's really the Lakers are in such a deep dark place,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a broken franchise. They celebrate that. You talk about the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: most ridiculous championship, that COVID bull crap at the Mickey
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Mouse Resort, the easiest championship ever in the history of sports.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: And they hung that up, and so of course they're
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: going to hang up the dumb NBA Cup thing. And
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: then of course that people called them on. I said, well, no,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you've got actual championships. Back a year and years ago
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: when Jerry Busk, you know, was hanging out with all
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: young women, you had that, and so what are you doing?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: And as well, we had to do it, and we
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: hang we had no true, no, you had a choice.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: You have you had a choice. You had a choice
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the Knicks. The Knicks said, no, this is a banana
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: cream pie, right to the face, right to the face
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: there of Jeanie Buss and the Lakers. And if you
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: use Malormath, ninety nine percent of the people that consume
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: the product, they view the NBA Cup as meaningless. I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: don't know anyone. I've not met a single person who's
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: real who thinks that's worth their time. I just haven't.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: It's a marketing gimmick. Adults know that. Smart people, though
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you put the corporate name in front of it. It's
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: like a freak tote bag you never use. You sign
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: up for some credit card, they give you a tote bag.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: You don't really use it, but you're like, it's free,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: I'll take it. Why not? So what the Lakers do?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: They took what we were all told its sacred real
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: estate right the hallowed rafters where the ghosts hangout, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they slapped a turn Burger right next to the work
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: of magic and Kareem and Kobe Bryant. They didn't honor
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: their history. They spat a giant logi, a big fat
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: mucus phil logai from Jennie Buss because they put that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: little Cup champion Chip Hoop and the Knicks of all people,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the New York Knicks, who haven't won bupkiss in over
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: fifty years, and they said, no, no, no, we're we're
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: grown ups. We're adults here. We don't do that. What
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: are we doing here? It's so great, So congratulations by
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: not even playing in the NBA Cup. The Lakers are
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the laughing stock of the NBA. Everyone pointing their finger
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like Nelson from The Simpsons and going haha, so great?
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Oh is that good man? I love that? All right. Meanwhile,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: let's get back to business here the NFL. There's a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: story that's gone viral here from a documentary that has
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: people buzzing. So I would like to address the snuffleovcus.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: In the room.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: We go to the Beltway where the Commanders are a
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: bad football team vanishing into the abyss or the swamp
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: in DC. They have been struggling on and on and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: on and on back to the old Commanders. These are
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Dan Snyder's commanders this year, the Redskins or whatever. But anyway,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I bring this up because head coach head coach Dan Quinn.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Dan Quinn told his players in a video clip that
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: has gone viral from this documentary. He went full tilt
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: buggy buggy boggie, he did the boogie woogie, and he
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: told his players that Giants quarterback Jackson Dart is basically
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a running back at that well, no, he's a quarterback, no.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: No.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Quinn said that Dart does not go out of bounds
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and that the players on his team should take shots
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: at him because he doesn't give up, but he doesn't
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: run out of bounds. So this is all from an
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: NFL film's documentary. The people, I believe it, HBO and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Hard Knocks Hard Knocks got together and so they produced this.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: It's in season with the NFC. East is the name
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: of the documentary. Now, the money quote again from dan
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Quinn is he is a running back first. He is
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a running back first. Oh my god, I can't believe
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: he said that. The faux outrage machine was activated. So
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the question do you have a problem do you have
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a problem with Washington coach Dan Quinn tagging the Giants
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: rookie quarterback Jackson Dart out of Old miss as a
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: running back as a running back first? Anyway? All right,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: so I'll go, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go. N
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: and O put those together. I'll go. No, I don't
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: have a problem. I think this is actually pretty wonderful. Again,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: as we like to say, I am a talk show host.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I have a daily talk show to do, and so
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: when you have these moments where you get the naked truth,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you embrace it. This would be one of those moments.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: It's in the raw. I love it, no Instagram filter.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: I will tell you that somewhat in NFL films will
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: be getting a call from the league office saying what
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the effort you're doing. They'll be complaints filed by the commanders.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: You're making us look bad. But we just put the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: video up on what your coach said but yeah, that
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: wasn't supposed to be for public consumption. Which is surprising
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: this got out because typically these things are so edited
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and so filtered that you rarely ever see anything that
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: could be even low on the spectrum of going viral.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: They really do just cover everything in terms of putting
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a nice coat of cologne on it so it doesn't
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: get out. And here we have this coach of the
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Washington Commanders saying, hey, yeah, Jackson Dart, he's a running
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: back first, and that's where we are on that. And
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: keep in mind, this is not just the Commanders. While
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the video said just the Commanders, the Commanders are not
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: the only team that feels this way. Dan Quinn just
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: spelled out the scouting report on Jackson Dart, which is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: likely shared by the rest of the NFL. And so
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: now the ball is in Jackson's court to prove that
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: this is not the case, and to prove that he's
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: not just a running back playing quarterback, and to show
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: that he can throw the ball consistently. Now keep in mind,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I've been doing this job for a while. These claims
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: have always been made about running quarterbacks. Normally they are
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: weaponized by race baders. When you know it's a black quarterback.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Jackson starts a white guy. So I guess it's just
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: x's and o's and all that. So there's not quite
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the big hull of baloo that there has been in
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: years past when this this thing comes up. But the NFL,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: as a rule, NFL coaches when they see a quarterback
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: that runs, runs, runs, runs, runs, and they that's what
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they say. He's a running back. He's not. He's not
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: a guy that hucks the ball. He's a running back.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: You have to prove that you are more than just
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a running quarterback and able in order to change the narrative. Right,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: that's just you know, the dog eat dog world. That's
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: kind of how that works. It's kind of how that works.
• 16:02

  Speaker 1: And where are we going? How about we go to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: La La Land early l I am. They're taking on
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the Seattle SEAHAWKSY say, kind of a big game. Told,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: it's a big deal. It's the Thursday night NFL game.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: That game, though, taking a back seat to the subplot.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: And as the Rams had their flight delayed, were supposed
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: to have I think Mike said prayer for the Rams.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I mean they had set on a plane has some
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: mechanical issues that never happens when you travel it never
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I've never had any issues traveling. Planes have always been
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: on time. I've never had to sit at airports and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: wait for plants at all. Anyway, get to the point,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: so the Rams are in Seattle now show down with
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks on Thursday night. They made headlines on the socials. Well,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I say they at one of their players did at
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: least Pooka Nakua guy came out of nowhere, and it's like,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: did this guy dial the wrong number? Who's Pooka Nakua?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: This guy's not that good? Well he is that good
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: ball of fire for the alrms and apparently a ball
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of fire off the field as well as if you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: have not heard yet and perhaps perhaps not rams wide
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: receiver Pooka taking aim at NFL officials, calling them the worst.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: He did this all on camera. Now, was this on ESPN?
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Was this on Fox? Was this on CBS or NBC
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: or Amazon? No? He did it on an internet stream
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: a couple of internet streamers no one's ever heard of.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: They're like fake stars. Anyway, he went on a rant.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Do we have the rant? I think we might have
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the rent. I don't know, let's see what we do.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: The reps are the worst because there's just some of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the rules, aren't that. Like these guys want to be
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: These guys are lawyers and like real they want to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: be on.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: TV too, brother, like the game, you don't think he's
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: he's texting his friends in the group.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Chat, like yo, you guys just saw me Sunday night football?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Like that that wasn't p I like, but I called
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it was seriously, did you do that? I mean, these
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: guys are noble human beings too, all right, So that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: was that was most of it, if you could understand.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: He see the rest of the worst. These guys are lawyers.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: They want to be on TV too, Like Pooko was like, ah,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: they're in group text and like, hey, you see me
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: on Sunday Night Football. All right. So one of the
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: hosts also mentioned that Pooka could be fine for saying
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: what he said, and very calmly, Puka Naku responded to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: This stuff's gone viral. So let's discuss the question rams
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Puka Nicou going off the reservation calling NFL
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: referees the worst, saying that they make calls to be
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: seen on television. Can you unscramble this one as we
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: attempt to seize the hour to win the hour. So
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: my observations, I have CBS, neon highlighter, and shrimp cocktail,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: we are going to be honor bound as we play
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Connect three. That's what we're going to do. So Number said,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Number one. All right, So Puka Nakua did not break news.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: He did not he broke the fourth wall, mom man
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the fourth wall. He got all slobbery, slapper slapper slobbery,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: calling NFL referees the worst. That is not some kind
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of scandal. It is a confession. It is a trip
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to the confessional booth. We're not talking about a modern
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: day Watergate here. It was human nature with a Wi
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Fi signal. Right. Officials are people too. They're not gas pumps.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: They're actual people. They have egos, they have friends, they
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: have text messages, they have social media, they're in group chats,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: they have mirrors, and they have a deep desire to
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: be seen. Now a lot of them serve as mouthpieces
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: for the NFL. That's fine, but anyone pretending otherwise is
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: selling air fried food. Puka just said the quiet part
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: into a live stream, well chasing. See. The thing that's
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: interesting is not that he said this, it's the way
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: that he said it, trying to get some clout, some
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: cool points. It was like a like a puppy dog
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: chasing a laser pointer. And he was he wasn't auditing
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: the officiating. He was auditing or I guess Auditioning is
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the word for the for the Internet. He wanted to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: he wanted to be popular. He's clearly a major fanboy
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: for these I don't know who these two Jabroni's are,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: but he's a big fanboy for these guys, these Internet streamers.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: And you got an NFL star, a top level wide receiver,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: one of the five top receivers in the NFL. Pookin
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Nakua trying to sit with the cool kids, and in
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: his mind, football players are not cool. He'd much rather
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: be a streamer. So he gets to sit down and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: have a lunch date with these two guys, nodding along,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: laughing out loud, hoping that he'll be accepted by these
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: two hopes. So it's so good. It wasn't really rebellion.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: It was in doctrination into the matrix. Pooka such a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: fan of these Internet streamers that he went down to
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the local CBS pharmacy and he got his prescription and
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: swallowed the red pill. And the rabbit hole has been entered,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and wonder Land is unlocked for Pooka, and the Rams
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: knew about it. Sean McVay, the Ram head coach, crossed
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: his arms like a bouncer guarding bottle service as Pooka
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: attempted to bring the influencers into the RAM facility, and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: McVeigh said, ix nay on the influencer a short week,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: no content farm at the facility and football first. You
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: can chase clout later. So Puka Nakua said, Okay, you
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: don't want him there, I'll just go I'll go meet
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: him somewhere else. And Pookah's right though. Referees obviously they
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: loved the spotlight. And there's some referees you see on TV.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: You know when they're doing a game, there's going to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: be twelve to fifteen penalties in that game. Of course,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the argument has always been that you can buy the
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: letter of the law call the penalty on every play.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: In the NFL, at least one person is effing up
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: on every play, So it becomes a case of do
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you go by the spirital law or the letter of
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: the law. By the letter of the law, you can
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: tear up the dance floor and call penalties on every
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: play because somebody's holding, somebody's grabbing, someone's lined up the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: wrong way. There's all those little the minutia of the
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: rule book where you can call penalties on everything. Now,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: obviously you can't do that because the game will go
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on forever. So there's this this yin and yang. There's
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: this nip and talk about how much do you call?
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: What do you do? It's like a game of tug
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of war? How far do you go? And then, of
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: course the other argument is if the referees called no penalties,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: they'd get in trouble, wouldn't they. Now if the NFL
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: officials said we're not, And there have been there have
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: been one. There was one game earlier this year where
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: there's hardly any penalties called and like nobody died. It
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: was everything was okay, life went on. There's this like
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you have to be justified for your salary because they
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: get paid a lot of it's part time job, but
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: they get paid a lot of money. They get travel
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: expenses paid for and all that stuff. So it's it's
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: one of those it's like, well, okay, so you've got
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to justify the amount of money that you're you're being
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: paid even though it's a part time gig, and so
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: you have to call penalties and all that stuff. And uh, anyway,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: the endgame on this, uh, well right now you can
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: get a fine, a tax deductible donation to an NFL
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: charity of your choice. And the refs do love the spotlight.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: They just don't love being told told that, so they'll
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: be a fine now, Page two, continuing the Hour of Pooka, Puka, Puka, Pooka.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: All right, so pin the tail on the Pooka. What's
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the fallout from ram wide receiver Puka Nakua and his
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: referee ran Now we mentioned there'll be a donation, small
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: donation to NFL charities there attacked deductible. But this was
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: an Emmy winning performance that nobody asked for. Now, Yeah,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: I have no problem with this kind of stuff I get.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: I always say this. I put this qualifier that I
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: have a daily talk show to do every night I
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: come in here, and if everyone just did what they're
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: supposed to do, what fun would this job be? It
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be any flight at all. So it's an Emmy
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Award winning performance by Pooka as in mental error me
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: mental error unforced, self inflicted, self inflicted. It's kind of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: like spiking the ball on first down? What are you doing?
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? And he didn't pull any punches here,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Pooka he ignored the Teddy Roosevelt rule book, talk softly,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: carry a big stick. Instead, he grabbed a megaphone and
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: was tap dancing on top of a rake and said,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: look at me, everybody, I'm the clown. Look at me.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gung Oh, here we go. I'm juggling. I'm juggling.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I'm joggling, all right. So he obviously wanted again these
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: internet streamers love. He chased that streamer Poka Nakoa, and
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: he ended up spilling some tea to try to get
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: in the good graces with these two people I've never
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: heard of. And now now he has just put a
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: neon green highlighter on his jersey. Spotlight blazing, spotlight blazing,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: big brother. The league office, they pay attention to this stuff,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the officials, you know, they heard about it. So Pooka's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: tempting fate here. You just did the belly whopper into
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: the divil whiteout pool, the deep end of the Diva
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: whiteout pool. So no lifeguard on duty. Move on over,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: old Dell Beckham. There's a new character actor in town,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: and his name is Pooka. And now we love the player.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: He's a great ballplayer, good game, all that stuff. We
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: love the quirks. He doesn't like vegetables. I don't like vegetables.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He doesn't even like fruit. I'm okay with most fruit,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: but he didn't like fruit either. He's on the chuck
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: e cheese diet is what he's on there, or some
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: kind of Neanderthal diet. As for the fall out, we
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: mentioned the fine there. If Puka balls out in the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: game here on Thursday night and the Rams win, this
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: story fades away. It fades into thin air. It's a
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: cute little sidebar. And that's that. If they lose, or
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: if Puka plays poorly and they win, it will be well,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: he slapped the whammy. No whammy, no whammy, big money,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: big money, and no whamy. Stop. Well, if they lose,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: then it's like, well he put the whammy on the season,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: and I will get wrong team, mark it down. I
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: will guarantee you that that happened. Like they'll say, oh,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the Rams lost because of Puka going on a live stream,
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: which like ninety eight percent of football fans don't watch,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and so it's not real crossover crowd the people that
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: have season tickets to NFL games and the people watching
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: internet streamers. But if it does happen to like the
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: jinx is applied. Season karma in a negative way has
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: been activated. I ready know. I'll tell you right now.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: No Stradinas has those comments saved in his draft on
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: his X. He's got those ready to go. He's gonna
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: fire those off as soon as the game ends, as
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: he'll be like, okay, let's set time to jump through
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: the hoop here and try to bust malards balls. All right,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: final point, We move away from Pooa and we head
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: to VVA Las Vegas. VVA Las Vegas. As we we
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: raised a mile a minute, we go to Vegas where
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith of the Raiders, who currently would have the
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: number one overallenho Gino Smith addressed the long standing chatter
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: that's been going on for a couple months now. Is
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Gino actually going to be a one and done Raider?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: His time with the Raiders has not gone very well.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: He was asked about staying in Lost Wages, Nevada for
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the duration of his contract, as the Raiders are the
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: worst team in football right now. He said, quote, he
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: is expecting to win a lot of games here. He said,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting to win a lot of games here. Close quote.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: All right, So the question how do you evaluate Geno
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Smiths status with the Raiders? All right? So here here's
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: how I would evaluate. This is a it's a storm.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: It's stormy with a splash of shrimp cocktail, looks fancy,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: smells fishy and risky, Gino. In Vegas, if there's anyone
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: there with a pulse, and who knows if there is
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: anyone with a pulse. The way the Raiders are being
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: run by Tom Brady, it doesn't look like there's anyone
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: there that knows what they're doing. Man the lifeboats. The
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: ship be sinking anyway. Gino, if you look at what
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: he's done here, you got to think that in Vegas,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: this is the last supper before the buffet closes, and
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: certainly not the start of some kind of great dynasty.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: This is not a charity. I believe it's not a charity.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: The Raiders are not a mean the witness protection program
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: for quarterbacks who ran out of runway, and so they'll
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: just pick up another suckbag quarterback and try to get
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: lightning in a bottle. We'll call it what it is.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Gino does not have not a leg to stand on.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: He does not have a Pro football reference page or
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a Wikipedia page to fall back on. Under any and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I mean any reasonable measurement, Gino Smith stinks. He does
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: thirty third rand quarterback. You don't need the rankings. You
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: just watch the games. Just pay attention to the games.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: If you're blind, just listen to the games. Gino Smith
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: is worse than a handful of quarterbacks who've already been benched.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: They've already been demoted for malfeasan to a tongue of
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: eye loa more on him later. He was benched by
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the Dolphins, justin fields with the Jets, he's out. Spencer Rattler,
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: New Orleans got benched, Kyler Murray got benched, and they
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: all had better numbers than Geno Smith. So's it's like
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: finishing last in a race and you finished last and
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: half the field pulled hamstrings. Well, how did you finish
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: last when half the people just pulled It doesn't make
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: any sense. They pulled the hamstrings. This theme song is
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: from the trash Men. For Geno Smith, the bird is
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: the word. The bird is the word, and that's what
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: he did. He gave the raider fans the bird on
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: his way off the field. And that's the signature moment
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: of Geno Smith. If this was a Vegas residency, If
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Geno Smith was a Vegas residency like Penn and Teller,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Carrott Top or something like that, they would have to
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: offer refunds after day three. And let's give money back
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: day three. Here Gino got his shot and he was
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: the flavor of the week, and he fetched it all away.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: The dew hickey did not work. And if this thing
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: goes sideways anymore, it's already gone sideways. Tom Brady should
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: go down to Low's. My advice, professional advice from overnight
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Talk Radio. Tom Brady should go down to Low's in
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: a fever pitch and buy a giant gas powered leaf
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: blower and clean away all the leaves and all the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: things around his house. There, loud and proud, with zero sentiment,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: zero sentiment, and just go for it. Just go for it.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: It's just such a bleeping mess. I just a bleeping mess.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: And Tom Brady, he's seeking El Dorado with the raiders.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna figure this thing out. I'm gonna find my
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: pot of gold and not the case.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions The Ben Maler Show
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: weekdays at two am eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: By the main time shifted to the third degree. Yeah,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: this is one big ben gets grilled, all right, cool, I've.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Been this season seemingly more than other seasons. There have
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: been a lot of teams that have fallen way below
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: their high expectations. Which of those teams do you think
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: has been the biggest disappointment?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I would say that the Baltimore Ravens, who are
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: looking like they're not going to make the playoffs. In
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, those are the top two teams. Kansas City.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Everyone'sho or Kansas City. Kansas City can and they should
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: be in the playoffs. It's embarrassing they've fallen this far,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: but they're not going to make the playoffs. But I
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: to me Baltimore because Kansas City a lot of people
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: expected them to have a falloff because they didn't really
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: improve the roster and some guys got old there. But Baltimore,
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: this was still supposed to be their window. And Lamar
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Jackson misses practice all the time. He's not played very
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: well in these games. So I to me, Baltimore's got
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to be high up there along with Kansas City. Neck
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: and Neck As a mono Abato if you, and with
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: a wink and a nod to the Detroit Lions that
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: have fallen off, they're no longer biting mee caps.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Next, a Warriors fan leaked an email between himself and
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: team owner Joe lacub where Lacomb admitted his frustrations with
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: the team and cited complications such as coaches desires regarding players. Now,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: Steve Kerr was asked about this, and he said, it's
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: not a big deal. Is it a big deal?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Ben? Yeah, I don't think he's that big deal. I
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: saw this. I didn't I was gonna mention it in a monologue.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was that big a deal. I
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: think it's kind of cool that Joe lacob broke back.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: He didn't really say much, I thought in the email,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: but it does show you that he cares and he
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: is annoyed. He knows that the product's not good. You know,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of the Warrior fans are having problems dealing
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: with the fact they're just they've fallen off. Alamedahlu and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: those guys that love the Warriors. This is what happens.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: It happens to all the teams that have great runs.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: The The Lakers went through this, the Celtics when they've
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: had great teams, the Pistons, you're really good for a while,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: and then you hold on to those veteran players and
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: it's you're not terrible, but you're not a legitimate championship team,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and you're stuck in this twilight zone. And obviously coaches
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: have favorite players. That's not a secret. Steve Kerr liked
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: certain kind of players, just like whoever your favorite coach does.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: That's the way it works. Next.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Adam Silver said on Tuesday that the NBA will make
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: a decision on expansion in twenty twenty six, and he
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: specifically mentioned Las Vegas and Seattle, Ben do you think
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: both of those cities will get a team?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Well, so I heard from a little birdie. This was
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: several years back, Coop, that Seattle was definitely getting a
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: team and the plan was to go to Vegas. That
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: was in twenty nineteen. It's twenty twenty five. They had
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Now the argument, the reason we have an ad expansion
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: is because we had the pandemic that delayed things, and
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: then the television contracts where now they're on Amazon and
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: NBC and all that, So that stuff's taken care of.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: The problem is though, you got to cut up that
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: pie and the slices get a little bit smaller for
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers and the Timberwolves and the Rockets and all that.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: But they're gonna have two teams, and you got to
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: bring back the Sonic name. They did it with the
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: Hornets and Charlotte. Bring back the SuperSonics and and have
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: a gambling name for the team in Vegas, having the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: slot machines or something like that. And they're gonna lean
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: into the gambling. And why not. Chauncey Phillips led it.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: He leaned into the gambling. All right there it is
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Mallard of the third degree.
• 36:35
