Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka Laca and it's our name bird too. Here
- 0:06Speaker 1: we go, Geronimo in our two of the Ben Mathers Show,
- 0:11Speaker 1: and we begin this hour with the latest report indicating
- 0:16Speaker 1: that there was no foul play by the People's team.
- 0:19Speaker 1: How does this chatter that the NBA found no Steve
- 0:23Speaker 1: Baumer shenanigans with Kawhi Leonard and the no show job?
- 0:27Speaker 1: Read to you. Also, the NBA says the report on
- 0:30Speaker 1: the Clippers investigation of Steve Bamber contained numerous and significant inaccuracies,
- 0:37Speaker 1: yet they didn't name any of them. So how much
- 0:39Speaker 1: muscle does that report from the Pro Basketball League have?
- 0:44Speaker 1: And with the NBA supposedly close to clearing the Clippers
- 0:48Speaker 1: over the Kawhi Leonard no show job, where does this
- 0:51Speaker 1: leave Pablo Torre who won a Pulitzer Prize for a
- 0:57Speaker 1: report which apparently wasn't true. Goofed, I've got to know.
- 1:02Speaker 1: We'll get to that and more right now. Enjoy your Tuesday,
- 1:04Speaker 1: the eighteenth day of the month of August. And here
- 1:06Speaker 1: it is our number two, a real life claw machine.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
- 1:22Speaker 2: Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, Mono a mono.
- 1:30Speaker 1: As we stand off to the side, we're right over there.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Yeah you see us over there. No you don't. It's
- 1:36Speaker 1: a bad job by you. Coast the coast, border to

- 1:59Speaker 1: famous Fox Sports radio studios were legends like Van the
- 2:04Speaker 1: one legend Bamaman had risen to the top and Chip
- 2:08Speaker 1: in the queues and can't close the deal, Neil, all
- 2:13Speaker 1: of them and they all have one thing in common.
- 2:16Speaker 1: They love Express Now. Kathy in Madison said, Malard, we
- 2:22Speaker 1: need that express mention, I said, Kathy will do that.

- 2:46Speaker 1: In our lead story this hour from somebody that upset
- 2:51Speaker 1: many people, very upset with what happened here involves the claw.
- 2:58Speaker 1: If you have not heard yet, perhaps not. Several people
- 3:01Speaker 1: over the last year have been emailing me pretty much
- 3:04Speaker 1: every week, Well are you're not talking about you? Should
- 3:07Speaker 1: really talk abouts you? Shame on you, even though I
- 3:09Speaker 1: have mentioned it a few times. What is it? What
- 3:11Speaker 1: am I talking about? That mix?
- 3:12Speaker 3: Mine?
- 3:13Speaker 1: So the NBA, they've had an investigation into the LA
- 3:20Speaker 1: Clippers foul play and they have apparently found no evidence,
- 3:27Speaker 1: no evidence that owner Steve Baumer funneled money through team
- 3:32Speaker 1: sponsors and other dummy groups to pay Kawhi Leonard. What yeah,
- 3:41Speaker 1: So if you didn't see this, perhaps not. The probe
- 3:44Speaker 1: centers on whether or not Kawhi Leonard's twenty eight million
- 3:48Speaker 1: dollar endorsement deal with a now defunct company, Aspiration, was
- 3:53Speaker 1: actually a mechanism to circumvent the NBA's salary cap and
- 3:59Speaker 1: the many rules they have in the cap now. Investigators
- 4:02Speaker 1: also examined allegations involving additional Clipper sponsors, looking to find
- 4:09Speaker 1: evidence that Steve Balmer, the Microsoft kingpin from Back of
- 4:13Speaker 1: the Day, or the organization, secretly directed money towards Leonard
- 4:20Speaker 1: in hidden ways, and according to a report from the
- 4:25Speaker 1: Entertainment and Sports Network out of Bristol, Connecticut, none has
- 4:30Speaker 1: been found. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
- 4:35Speaker 1: All right, so that is a good jumping up point.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question, how does this latest report
- 4:43Speaker 1: that claims the NBA after over a year, I believe
- 4:47Speaker 1: we're pasted a year I think now has found no
- 4:50Speaker 1: no Steve Balmer, Shenanigans with Kawhi Leonard and the no
- 4:55Speaker 1: show jobs. How does this read to you? So I've
- 4:59Speaker 1: go got trapdoor, waterbed, and al capone and we'll combine
- 5:06Speaker 1: all all of these things together and we're gonna go
- 5:10Speaker 1: abra cadabra. Hocus pocus is what we're going to do.
- 5:15Speaker 2: So number one, one, one, one.
- 5:20Speaker 1: One, all right. Stop. So I've determined, after a minute
- 5:30Speaker 1: long dive into this that the NBA investigating the Clippers.
- 5:35Speaker 1: They hired a two man team, well two people involved here.
- 5:38Speaker 1: Their lead investigator was Helen keller Uh and she she
- 5:42Speaker 1: handled the main parts of the investigation. And then they
- 5:44Speaker 1: also hired Sergeant Schultz, which is an old character from
- 5:47Speaker 1: a TV show that's long gone called Hogan's Heroes. And
- 5:51Speaker 1: they spent a year snooping around the Clippers, and they
- 5:55Speaker 1: issued a joint statement, and the joint statement said I
- 5:59Speaker 1: see nothing, I hear nothing, I know nothing. That was
- 6:04Speaker 1: a statement. That's it. Of course they found no evidence.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Now even I am surprised if this is actually the
- 6:13Speaker 1: way this plays out, because I had heard, and I
- 6:15Speaker 1: told you what I had been hearing, that the NBA
- 6:17Speaker 1: really doesn't want to punish the Clippers because this kind
- 6:20Speaker 1: of thing happens not all the time, but for the
- 6:23Speaker 1: top say two percent of NBA players, they get these
- 6:28Speaker 1: kind of deals. It's just common practice. Nobody talks about it,
- 6:33Speaker 1: and it's like the first rule of fight club. You
- 6:35Speaker 1: don't talk about it just kind of happens. And they
- 6:38Speaker 1: just didn't wanted to avoid having to punish the Clippers
- 6:40Speaker 1: because that would have created a bunch of headaches and
- 6:42Speaker 1: all that. So even that though I assumed they would
- 6:46Speaker 1: give some kind of slap on the wrist, that's what
- 6:48Speaker 1: I assumed here, and I have learned over the years,
- 6:51Speaker 1: you cannot find something if you've already decided you don't
- 6:55Speaker 1: want to find it, so you just you can't. And
- 6:57Speaker 1: the ugly truth is that these kind of wink wink
- 7:01Speaker 1: nudge nudge side agreements around the top two percent of
- 7:06Speaker 1: star players are not exactly exotic wildlife in the NBA's
- 7:12Speaker 1: big sporty industrial complex. It's just not. And Adam Silver
- 7:17Speaker 1: sitting on his big perch there in midtown Manhattan and
- 7:22Speaker 1: looking out the window, and he's like, Okay, I got
- 7:24Speaker 1: this button, and if I press the button, it'll open
- 7:27Speaker 1: up a trap door and we will fall down into
- 7:31Speaker 1: crazy Town. And I don't want to go to crazy Town.
- 7:34Speaker 1: I want to avoid crazy Town, the baddest part of town.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I don't want to go. So he decided, Eh, maybe
- 7:41Speaker 1: we just keep that sucker bolted shut and not open
- 7:45Speaker 1: that trap door, because once you seriously start digging in
- 7:50Speaker 1: to the underbelly around Kawhi Leonard's arrangement, where does the
- 7:55Speaker 1: shovel stop. In fact, there's chatter that the NBA already
- 8:00Speaker 1: ruled that sponsors are allowed two in previous years. They
- 8:05Speaker 1: said in previous cases, the NBA said that essentially sponsors
- 8:08Speaker 1: are allowed to pay players without circumventing the salary cap.
- 8:13Speaker 1: So this whole thing, though, it gives me vibrations of
- 8:17Speaker 1: the cheating as one thousand and two, one thousand holes. Yes,
- 8:24Speaker 1: remember this, I remember it. So rival teams said, hey,
- 8:27Speaker 1: we're you know the Athletics or the Mariners or whoever,
- 8:30Speaker 1: and we believe beyond a reasonable doubt that the team
- 8:34Speaker 1: in Houston is cheating. And Major League basically I said, okay,
- 8:37Speaker 1: this is a very serious thing. We are going to investigate.
- 8:40Speaker 1: We are going to hire the Keystone cops to go
- 8:43Speaker 1: out there and investigate the team in Houston. So they
- 8:45Speaker 1: went out there and they investigated. Rival teams complained, They
- 8:48Speaker 1: looked into it. Rob Manford Man Fraud's band of merry
- 8:51Speaker 1: men started sniffing around, and they investigated, and they said, listen,
- 8:56Speaker 1: we did full investigation and we're happy to report. Everything's
- 9:01Speaker 1: good here. No cheating, Nope, it's all good. Couldn't find
- 9:05Speaker 1: the elephant in the room. Well, Houston was at that time.
- 9:10Speaker 1: The Astros were practically stomping on anything they could to
- 9:16Speaker 1: signal fastball or breaking ball. They had a trash can
- 9:20Speaker 1: band behind the dugout and yet nothing to see here, folks,
- 9:24Speaker 1: nothing to see, Please disperse. It was only after a
- 9:28Speaker 1: whistleblower on the team spilled the beans. It was only
- 9:33Speaker 1: after that that the people at Major League Baseball were
- 9:36Speaker 1: forced to open their eyes. Not that they actually punished anyone,
- 9:39Speaker 1: As we saw cheating a hole is in the Hall
- 9:41Speaker 1: of Fame, tarnishing Cooperstown this year, the NBA investigated, and
- 9:46Speaker 1: I said, well, wouldn't you know it. The NBA investigated
- 9:50Speaker 1: the NBA and determined that the NBA is doing just fine.
- 9:53Speaker 1: They're doing just fine now Page two. The counter point
- 9:57Speaker 1: on this. The counter point on this. Less than two
- 10:01Speaker 1: hours after the report we just talked about. Less than
- 10:04Speaker 1: two hours after report we just talked about, popped up
- 10:08Speaker 1: that Clippers owner Steve Baumer had been essentially cleared of
- 10:12Speaker 1: any wrongdoing involving Kawhi Leonard. The NBA issued a prepared
- 10:20Speaker 1: statement a sharp rebuke, all right, saying that the ESPN
- 10:26Speaker 1: story that we've been talking about contained quote, numerous and
- 10:29Speaker 1: significant inaccuracies close quote. The league also pointed out and
- 10:36Speaker 1: noted that it declined to cooperate with ESPN's reporting and
- 10:42Speaker 1: said the facts will become clear once the investigation is completed.
- 10:45Speaker 1: Keep in mind, that's very vague. They did not give
- 10:48Speaker 1: any specifics. You would think if there was something that
- 10:51Speaker 1: was urgently needed to be rebuked, you would have rebuked
- 10:54Speaker 1: it right away. They chose not to do that. An
- 10:57Speaker 1: unnamed league insider calling the possible punishment of Steve Balmer
- 11:04Speaker 1: and the Clippers over sponsor Shenanigans if you will, as
- 11:09Speaker 1: at outrageous overreach, and said the ruling would contradict previous guidelines.
- 11:16Speaker 1: What we talked about that this has kind of been
- 11:18Speaker 1: an open thing, and the NBA in previous years said, listen,
- 11:22Speaker 1: you do what you gotta do, and we're not gonna,
- 11:23Speaker 1: you know, bug it, We'll look the other way. If
- 11:25Speaker 1: these sponsors want to throw their money away, then okay,
- 11:29Speaker 1: that's that's fine, and and we're okay with it. All right.
- 11:33Speaker 1: So the question here the nb A. So the NBA says,
- 11:37Speaker 1: the report that the Clippers investigation of Steve Bamber contains
- 11:41Speaker 1: numerous and significant inaccuracies. How much muscle does this memo
- 11:49Speaker 1: from the league office?
- 11:50Speaker 4: Have?
- 11:51Speaker 1: How much? How much does that have? So this is
- 11:54Speaker 1: kind of like you go to the gym. You see
- 11:55Speaker 1: those Jim bros. They're they're flexing in the mirrors there
- 12:00Speaker 1: and they have inflatable muscles. Essentially, what it is like
- 12:04Speaker 1: inflatable muscles here, numerous and significant inaccuracies. Now that sounds
- 12:11Speaker 1: pretty menacing, doesn't it? I mean that does right, was
- 12:13Speaker 1: just somewhat menacing. But you know what that means. The
- 12:18Speaker 1: whip they're cracking is ultimately cool whip. It's delicious coolhip.
- 12:23Speaker 1: And here's why, because the NBA and ESPN are lovers.
- 12:29Speaker 1: They are lovers. They are lovers. That's right, financial water bed.
- 12:35Speaker 1: They're in the waterbed together, ESPN ABC They essentially if
- 12:43Speaker 1: you look at the relationship here, the ESPN ABC outfit
- 12:46Speaker 1: is the sugar daddy of the NBA, paying around two
- 12:51Speaker 1: point six billion per year for its slice of the
- 12:57Speaker 1: basketball pie, the eleven year media rights deal. So that's
- 13:02Speaker 1: every year the ESPEN people cut a check for two
- 13:05Speaker 1: point six billion to the NBA. And ESPN knows where
- 13:09Speaker 1: the guardrails are. They're business partners in the NBA knows
- 13:14Speaker 1: who helps pay the palace. Palace does not pay for itself.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Somebody has to pay for the palace. So Adam Silver
- 13:22Speaker 1: can puff out his chest, mister Commissioner from somewhere far
- 13:27Speaker 1: out in the cosmos, out there possible lizard person, So
- 13:31Speaker 1: Adam Silver can can puff out his chest, and then
- 13:34Speaker 1: you know, huff and puff and all this stuff and
- 13:36Speaker 1: go crazy and all that about inaccuracies and whatnot. Here
- 13:40Speaker 1: an issue sternly warded worded, communicate right, just do all
- 13:46Speaker 1: that stuff and wag his finger just like that, wag
- 13:49Speaker 1: his finger and yell bad network bad bad bad bad
- 13:52Speaker 1: bad bad bad bad bad. But until Silver puts the
- 13:56Speaker 1: alleged inaccuracies that supposedly happened on the table, it is
- 14:00Speaker 1: just corporate corporate chest thumping is all it is. And
- 14:04Speaker 1: you can't have a hat Fields and McCoy's family feud
- 14:10Speaker 1: when both families share the same checking account. They have
- 14:14Speaker 1: a joint checking account. Understand good?
- 14:18Speaker 5: All right?
- 14:18Speaker 1: Meanwhile, final point to the pod. To the pod we
- 14:23Speaker 1: go some guy named Pablo Torre. I guess he's a
- 14:29Speaker 1: podcast guy, and he has made a name for himself.
- 14:33Speaker 1: We are told just on this like nobodyknew who was.
- 14:37Speaker 1: People still don't really know who he is. He's not
- 14:39Speaker 1: really very all that well, but he's claiming, you know,
- 14:42Speaker 1: people around him, he's famous now because of this. So
- 14:46Speaker 1: this Pablo Tory, who just kind of kept reporting nonsense
- 14:51Speaker 1: about this lead investigator, if you will, lead investigator on
- 14:55Speaker 1: the Clippers story, now he's in the crosshairs if this
- 14:59Speaker 1: report accurate. This is not good. You talk about Mortal Kombat.
- 15:06Speaker 1: So Pablo Torre for months and months, has accused the
- 15:10Speaker 1: Clippers of bull crap no show job for Kawhi Leonard
- 15:16Speaker 1: twenty eight million dollars no show job endorsement deal Leonard
- 15:21Speaker 1: received from Aspiration. He parlayed this Pablo Torre did into winning,
- 15:26Speaker 1: believe it or not, the twenty twenty six Pulitzer Prize
- 15:30Speaker 1: in audio reporting. I didn't even know that was a thing.
- 15:33Speaker 1: Apparently it is, and on his Little Friends and Family podcast.
- 15:38Speaker 1: So the question, with the NBA close to clearing the
- 15:43Speaker 1: Clippers over the Kawhi Leonard no show job, which Pablo
- 15:47Speaker 1: Torre has spent months and months yapping about, where does
- 15:52Speaker 1: this leave the podcaster Pablo Torre if this goes the
- 15:56Speaker 1: way it is headed. So I reckon and I think
- 16:00Speaker 1: I'm the voice of reason on this, that Pablo Torre
- 16:02Speaker 1: should get the Reggie Bush treatment. You might remember Reggie
- 16:05Speaker 1: Bush had the Heisman Trophy taken away from him, and
- 16:10Speaker 1: so why not repossess the Pulitzer Prize, return the Pulitzer,
- 16:16Speaker 1: give it back, give it back, now, give it back.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Because if the NBA's official position is that there was
- 16:23Speaker 1: no salary cap circumvention, then what exactly on God's Green
- 16:29Speaker 1: Earth did Pablo torre Win the Pulitzer Prize Award for
- 16:33Speaker 1: Creative Accounting. Fan fiction is that what do they have
- 16:36Speaker 1: a Pulitzer Prize for fiction?
- 16:38Speaker 3: Is that?
- 16:39Speaker 1: No, they don't. Okay, So this thing is starting to
- 16:41Speaker 1: look and I'm gonna date myself. But there's a famous
- 16:45Speaker 1: moment in television history. It was Heraldo Rivera was behind it,
- 16:50Speaker 1: and it was in Chicago, a famous basement underneath a
- 16:55Speaker 1: hotel in downtown Chicago. There the legendary TV special which
- 16:59Speaker 1: even though it's been forty years, he will still bring
- 17:02Speaker 1: this up, the mystery of al Capone's vault. And it
- 17:06Speaker 1: was a big deal. And I think they found a
- 17:08Speaker 1: couple of old soda cans and some rats and some
- 17:12Speaker 1: cockaroaches and all that stuff. So months of height in
- 17:15Speaker 1: involving the Clippers, Kawhi Leonard Salary cap circumvention, a number
- 17:19Speaker 1: of you had your pants down, you were so excited,
- 17:21Speaker 1: you were all waiting for this to happen, and just
- 17:24Speaker 1: breathless anticipation, just absolutely breathless anticipation. Cameras rolling America watching,
- 17:30Speaker 1: and they opened the vault and there was capital b bupkus,
- 17:35Speaker 1: Capital b bupkis so Pablo tore. At this point, he
- 17:39Speaker 1: turned the Clippers Kawhi Leonard twenty eight million dollars no
- 17:43Speaker 1: Show Aspiration deal into the Zubruder film of basketball, examining
- 17:50Speaker 1: every little kernel, every frame like he was cracking Watergate.
- 17:56Speaker 1: Oh my. And after all of that, the NBA says, essentially,
- 18:02Speaker 1: this report by ESPN, which is a business partner of
- 18:04Speaker 1: the NBA, says there's nothing to see here. There's nothing.
- 18:08Speaker 1: There's just nothing. So either the league investigation is a
- 18:12Speaker 1: whitewash and Pablo Tory exposed something real, or the Pulitzer
- 18:19Speaker 1: Committee handed out journalism's shiny gold star for the al
- 18:26Speaker 1: Capone vaults of NBA scandals. So Pablo Tory finds out,
- 18:32Speaker 1: we are told is the name of his little show there,
- 18:34Speaker 1: And it's more like Pablo Tory found out there was
- 18:39Speaker 1: nothing in the vaults, nothing at all. It is the
- 18:42Speaker 1: Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to be part, you

- 22:19Speaker 7: I don't know. He seems like a sweet, innocent character.
- 22:23Speaker 7: You know, there's a dark side. It's got to be

- 24:10Speaker 1: Kay was going to pay for. You didn't accept the trip.
- 24:14Speaker 3: Would I would go?
- 24:15Speaker 8: Now?
- 24:16Speaker 3: Somebody with day.
- 24:17Speaker 1: Where you had good chance? Weed Man and you chose
- 24:21Speaker 1: not to go. He was very kind.
- 24:23Speaker 4: Man prefers hot weather, so Vegas is okay for him. Yeah,
- 24:26Speaker 4: he didn't really want to go up to Boston. He
- 24:28Speaker 4: doesn't like the North.
- 24:30Speaker 3: I don't like cold weather, that's for sure.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Yeah, so I wanted to go to Vegas. Yeah, I

- 24:45Speaker 1: afford that. Your name, I know you don't listen to
- 24:48Speaker 1: the podcast because you don't know what podcasts are. But

- 25:17Speaker 1: give you a place to live for free. Wow, you
- 25:24Speaker 1: calm down. All they have Wi Fi, electricity, all that stuff,

- 25:48Speaker 4: live there.
- 25:49Speaker 1: You get free roomin boards and the other catches. You
- 25:51Speaker 1: have to find your way to Hawaii, so you'd have
- 25:54Speaker 1: to buy a plane ticket, but you know how expensive.
- 25:58Speaker 1: I assume everyone's been there, but it's very it's in Hawaii.
- 26:00Speaker 4: What part of Hawaii?
- 26:01Speaker 1: In Honolu? It's outside Honolulu. Oh that's the big city.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Well yeah, well I don't Actually I don't know. He's
- 26:07Speaker 1: the guy who emailed me from Honolu. I don't know
- 26:08Speaker 1: where it is. Maybe he's not in Honolulu, but.
- 26:11Speaker 8: Well just tell him. I would definitely do that as
- 26:15Speaker 8: possible as I could possibly do it.
- 26:16Speaker 3: I really would.
- 26:18Speaker 1: Do you have enough money to buy a plane ticket
- 26:19Speaker 1: to Hawaii?
- 26:21Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 26:22Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 26:23Speaker 3: I don't know how much it is.
- 26:26Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna say no, Yeah, I don't.

- 26:35Speaker 1: kay writes in He says, Billy, have you ever filed,
- 26:38Speaker 1: filed out or filled out a job application? When was
- 26:41Speaker 1: the last time you filled one out? You do have
- 26:44Speaker 1: a great positive outlook on life. I appreciate you, sir,
- 26:47Speaker 1: says Matt. He's in the possible.
- 26:49Speaker 8: I do nod.

- 27:02Speaker 8: my life.
- 27:03Speaker 1: I understand. But when you were a kid, like most
- 27:05Speaker 1: people like in high school. Not anymore, but back when
- 27:08Speaker 1: you were a kid, people actually had jobs in high
- 27:09Speaker 1: school and tried to make a little money pizza. So
- 27:14Speaker 1: how'd you get the job?
- 27:16Speaker 8: Went there?
- 27:21Speaker 1: It was a different time, all right, Trucker Joe says,
- 27:24Speaker 1: plot twist. He wants to know what you meant. Do
- 27:26Speaker 1: you think Ferd Dog is black? That's what Trucker Joe said.
- 27:32Speaker 3: I have no idea.
- 27:36Speaker 1: That one of my favorite drops is h I don't
- 27:39Speaker 1: know if you know this, Ben, but I'm black. That
- 27:42Speaker 1: was I think the guy that sounded like Bill was
- 27:46Speaker 1: that La Matt. I think that was La Matt. I
- 27:49Speaker 1: missed that guy. He was a great caller. He hasn't
- 27:51Speaker 1: called them long time. I don't even know he's still around.
- 27:53Speaker 1: But he just could say these ridiculous things. Hey man,
- 27:56Speaker 1: you might not know this, but I'm black. Yeah, that
- 27:58Speaker 1: was it right there, high weed man. All right, Alf

- 32:13Speaker 1: That's the problem. See, I'll because we don't do it

- 32:58Speaker 1: Any closing thought here, weed Man before we move on?
- 33:02Speaker 1: Hold on said wait a minute, we have a couple
- 33:03Speaker 1: more questions here. Uh not a. I believe I'm saying
- 33:06Speaker 1: your name, probably incorrectly, but she doesn't correct me. So
- 33:09Speaker 1: what the hell she's over at the She's at the
- 33:12Speaker 1: n A t A house. Would you say n A
- 33:14Speaker 1: T A? Yeah? Anyway, she's from Australia. She works at
- 33:18Speaker 1: L A X. Have you ever been to l A X?
- 33:20Speaker 1: Weed Man? No, No, it's kind of a big airport. Anyways.
- 33:23Speaker 1: She says, if you could go to any concert, dead
- 33:27Speaker 1: or alive artist, who would you go see? That's a
- 33:30Speaker 1: good question, weed Man. So if you could see any musician,
- 33:33Speaker 1: dead or alive, who would you see? Yes? Anyone? Ever?
- 33:42Speaker 1: Is this a hard question?
- 33:44Speaker 8: The Eagles?
- 33:45Speaker 3: I'd love to see the Eagles.
- 33:47Speaker 1: So you'll skip over like Elvis when most of the
- 33:50Speaker 1: Beatles are dead. I kind of I know it's not
- 33:57Speaker 1: a bad but I kind of want to go back
- 34:00Speaker 1: and see Shakespeare just to see what all the hypes about,
- 34:02Speaker 1: because I bet it's probably really boring. I bet the
- 34:04Speaker 1: people that went to Shakespeare were like, oh, this sucks.
- 34:07Speaker 4: No, no, no, I mean you would probably think that
- 34:11Speaker 4: if you went back to see it. But what did
- 34:14Speaker 4: they have back then for entertainment? They were just probably
- 34:17Speaker 4: just their minds were blown.
- 34:18Speaker 1: Yeah, and they were all right, we don't know for
- 34:24Speaker 1: sure these rights. You know, it's possible they had entertainment.
- 34:27Speaker 1: We just don't know about it.
- 34:28Speaker 8: And yeah, but you know it never lived the all time.
- 34:33Speaker 8: I mean, sire was the only thing we know from
- 34:37Speaker 8: that time.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you'll be funny. How about, uh, these
- 34:42Speaker 1: are the kind of movies used to make back in
- 34:43Speaker 1: the day. How about we made a movie what we brought, like,
- 34:46Speaker 1: you know, when Mozart was the king of music back
- 34:48Speaker 1: in the day and in that in that period. If
- 34:51Speaker 1: we brought like modern music and brought it back, like,
- 34:54Speaker 1: how would people react, Like bring some gangster wrap back
- 34:58Speaker 1: to the days of Mozart. Wouldn't that a great movie
- 35:01Speaker 1: to see what they do?
- 35:02Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 35:02Speaker 10: Like when when Marty McFly starts playing yes and wrong exactly? Yeah,
- 35:06Speaker 10: same concept? Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, thank you. Not
- 35:10Speaker 10: Bozo the district attorney rites in and uh every time,
- 35:15Speaker 10: well he wants to know what happened to the dog?
- 35:19Speaker 10: Did it die or did you sell it for a joint?
- 35:26Speaker 1: No?
- 35:26Speaker 8: I had this whole life and died eventually.
- 35:28Speaker 1: Yeah. You know the thing about dogs, they don't just
- 35:31Speaker 1: drop dead. I noticed they, which is good, I guess,
- 35:34Speaker 1: and I probably jinx myself now because I said that.
- 35:36Speaker 1: But every dog I've had, they just kind of get
- 35:38Speaker 1: old and frail, and then you have to take them
- 35:40Speaker 1: to the to their demand.
- 35:42Speaker 4: Is that noise?
- 35:43Speaker 1: Yeah? What is that?
- 35:44Speaker 4: You've heard it two times?
- 35:45Speaker 1: Are you recording this? Weed man?
- 35:47Speaker 8: I don't know what that is?
- 35:48Speaker 1: Are you playing video games? Don't lie to me. It's
- 35:52Speaker 1: got to be you dog, do you have? I have
- 35:55Speaker 1: an English bulldog named Moxie that I love to death.
- 35:58Speaker 1: Moxy is my my pal. Hang out with Moxie and
- 36:02Speaker 1: just late. Doesn't do anything other than lay there and fart.
- 36:06Speaker 1: That's all the dog does. That's it, No real value
- 36:09Speaker 1: other than that, just there to eat for pets. Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
- 36:14Speaker 1: good looking dog. All right, Well we'll leave it there,

- 36:30Speaker 1: all right, kid, because I care, as my old pal
- 36:35Speaker 1: Chris Myers would say back in the day. So we

- 39:11Speaker 4: how many do you think actually get fyed?

- 39:12Speaker 1: I think Lavello will keep his job. Dan Wilson the
