- 0:21Speaker 2: of the dirty water dog of shame and blame as
- 0:25Speaker 2: they lose on their home court. Also, what do you
- 0:28Speaker 2: make of the criticism of Jalen Brunson embellishing contact for
- 0:34Speaker 2: the Knicks as he was being called out for that?
- 0:37Speaker 2: Also what is Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau looking to accomplish
- 0:41Speaker 2: with his public condemnation of the officiating in game number two?

- 2:14Speaker 2: So our lead this hour is from Midtown Manhattan, Penn
- 2:20Speaker 2: Station adjacent. You've been to Manhattan, you know it's between
- 2:24Speaker 2: seventh and eighth Avenue there and it's a garden. From
- 2:28Speaker 2: the outside, it doesn't look like a garden, but it is.
- 2:30Speaker 2: You're gonna go into the bowels of the gymnasium there
- 2:34Speaker 2: and that was the scene for Game two, Game two
- 2:40Speaker 2: of the opening round of the NBA Playoffs. There a
- 2:43Speaker 2: matchup between Detroit and New York and the Pistons coming
- 2:48Speaker 2: back a twenty one to nothing run in Game one,
- 2:52Speaker 2: as the Detroit basketball team had a reversal in fortune.
- 2:57Speaker 2: They puked at a time they could not puke, and
- 3:00Speaker 2: they lost that game. So I have a lot of
- 3:03Speaker 2: friends from New York, family from New York. And of
- 3:05Speaker 2: course there's nothing more annoying than Nick fans who haven't
- 3:08Speaker 2: won in fifty plus years but are convinced every year
- 3:13Speaker 2: that they're going to win. It's a fascinating dichotomy that
- 3:17Speaker 2: the Knickerbocker fan. Anyway, So the next one, Game one,
- 3:20Speaker 2: they came back, didn't really play all that well for
- 3:21Speaker 2: three quarters, but in the fourth quarter went gangbusters and
- 3:24Speaker 2: they won the game. So now of course they're gonna
- 3:26Speaker 2: win every game in this series. That was Detroit's chance.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah. So if you didn't see
- 3:30Speaker 2: this game, it was a it was a total domination situation.
- 3:35Speaker 2: But it was very similar to Game one, very similar
- 3:37Speaker 2: to Game one. Kid Cunningham thirty three points, twelve rebounds.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Dennis Schreuder is still alive. Did you know that Dennis
- 3:45Speaker 2: Shrewder is still alive and he's in the NBA playoffs?
- 3:49Speaker 2: Remember last we talked about him he was being held hostage. No,
- 3:51Speaker 2: it was not hostage. He compared playing in the NBA
- 3:54Speaker 2: to slavery when he was traded at the deadline.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Remember that. Yes, Well he's alive and well. And Dennis
- 4:02Speaker 1: Shrewder Schrader or whatever.
- 4:03Speaker 2: He had a tie breaking three pointer with fifty five
- 4:07Speaker 2: seconds left on the clock, and the Pistons said bye
- 4:11Speaker 2: bye to the longest sucked bag streak of playoff basketball,
- 4:17Speaker 2: a fifteen game postseason ride into the manure as they
- 4:25Speaker 2: end that losing streak, longest postseason losing streak in NBA history.
- 4:29Speaker 2: They beat the Knickerbockers one hundred and ninety four, and
- 4:33Speaker 2: so that series now goes back to Detroit and the
- 4:36Speaker 2: Pistons have home court advantage one one. It is a
- 4:40Speaker 2: best of five now and Detroit has home court advantage.
- 4:44Speaker 2: The Pistons terrible franchise. When I was a kid, they
- 4:48Speaker 2: were good, and then they had a little bit of
- 4:50Speaker 2: success as an adult, and since then they've been terrible.
- 4:54Speaker 2: But the Detroit Pistons, who had not even been to
- 4:57Speaker 2: a playoff situation since way back before the pandemic in
- 5:02Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, they gave back pretty much all of the
- 5:06Speaker 2: lead they had built up, they had a fifteen point lead,
- 5:10Speaker 2: they gave almost all that back, and then they end
- 5:13Speaker 2: up winning first time they've won a playoff game since eight.
- 5:17Speaker 2: I was like, I was like in junior high school
- 5:19Speaker 2: in eight or maybe you know, possibly no, I was
- 5:22Speaker 2: working here. I guess I was working here anyway, I
- 5:25Speaker 2: was eight Eastern Conference Finals against Boston the last time
- 5:30Speaker 2: they Detroit Piston's team had won, which means if you
- 5:33Speaker 2: are fifteen years old, actually older than that was seventeen
- 5:39Speaker 2: Holy crap, twenty twenty five, So seventeen seventeen years that
- 5:44Speaker 2: means you're like in high school, you're almost out of
- 5:46Speaker 2: high school and your entire Wow, that's wild.
- 5:51Speaker 1: How does that happen? It happened anyway.
- 5:54Speaker 2: The better story is in the losing locker room, so
- 5:58Speaker 2: that is where we will go. Jalen brought thirty seven
- 6:02Speaker 2: points for Jalen Brunson and not enough as the number
- 6:06Speaker 2: three seeded Knickerbockers lose this game.
- 6:08Speaker 1: So let us discuss.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Let us discuss, So which Knicks players get to grab
- 6:16Speaker 2: the biggest chunk biggest chunk of the dirty water, the
- 6:22Speaker 2: dirty water dog.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Of shame and blame.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So which Knicks player gets that big portion of the sausage,
- 6:32Speaker 2: the dirty water dog of shame and blame. So I've
- 6:34Speaker 2: got thirty rock, Shakespearean and lobbying, and we will combine
- 6:40Speaker 2: all of these things together and we are going to
- 6:43Speaker 2: go whale watching. It looked like a lot of the
- 6:46Speaker 2: Knicks were in a boat watching. They weren't doing a lot.
- 6:49Speaker 2: They were not doing a lot.
- 6:50Speaker 1: Now numb burn?
- 6:53Speaker 2: Did I get a numb burn? So this was, if
- 6:58Speaker 2: you're a nick apologist, a painful night all the way around,
- 7:03Speaker 2: assigning the dirty water dog of shame and.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Blame, making that out there, putting that out there.
- 7:11Speaker 2: Let's start at the obvious one, which is the kitty Cat.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Hello Kitty. That would be the.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Full, fully immersive Carl Anthony Town's experience.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Now he's known as Cat.
- 7:24Speaker 2: And I know our friends listening in Minnesota snickering and smiling,
- 7:29Speaker 2: and there's a cheshire cat kind of vibe, the big
- 7:32Speaker 2: smile there, and they're thinking, Hey, I told you so,
- 7:35Speaker 2: this is the guy. That's the guy we remember from
- 7:37Speaker 2: the Wolves. That's the guy.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Yeah, help you enjoy him New York. Yeah.
- 7:42Speaker 2: And so it's not necessarily a case where Karl Anthony
- 7:46Speaker 2: Towns didn't do what was expected right.
- 7:49Speaker 1: This was living up to the scouting report.
- 7:51Speaker 2: This performance was the full, fully immersive Carl Anthony Towns experience.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Playoff Cat here, Kenny, Kitty Kitty here, Kitty Cat. That's
- 8:03Speaker 2: playoff cat. That's Karl Anthony Towns is what it was.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Sporadic malfunction. Sporadic malfunction. He is a big man, and
- 8:13Speaker 2: he plays a lot like James Harden, who will disappear
- 8:16Speaker 2: for a random game in a playoff series. Well, Karl
- 8:19Speaker 2: Anthony Towns does the same thing, and so he's got
- 8:23Speaker 2: this glitch in the software. There's a problem, and he
- 8:27Speaker 2: suffers from shrinkage. It's like he's in cold water. In
- 8:31Speaker 2: the playoffs there in big spots. Towns had a pedestrian
- 8:36Speaker 2: stat line ten points, six rebounds, no assist. For Carl
- 8:39Speaker 2: Anthony Towns. He played thirty three mostly uselessness. We mentioned
- 8:43Speaker 2: whale watching, like he was just out there whale watching, right,
- 8:47Speaker 2: they might as well put Fat Joe out there. He
- 8:49Speaker 2: was in the crowd. Fat Joe could have done the
- 8:51Speaker 2: same thing. I put him out there. Carl Anthony Towns
- 8:54Speaker 2: was five of eleven from the floor, but that again
- 8:59Speaker 2: does not do to do it justice right, does not
- 9:01Speaker 2: do it justice because the second half was a special
- 9:06Speaker 2: kind of manure, a special condra manere. You see, carl
- 9:10Speaker 2: Anthony Towns played the second half a game too like
- 9:15Speaker 2: thirty Rock. Remember that that show thirty Rock. Tracy Morgan,
- 9:18Speaker 2: remember when he was at the next game while back
- 9:20Speaker 2: and he vomited all over the court. He rode the
- 9:23Speaker 2: vomit comet he up chucked all over the court. There
- 9:26Speaker 2: that was carl Anthony Towns in the second half. The
- 9:28Speaker 2: only difference between Tracy Morgan and carl Anthony Towns is
- 9:32Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan was taken to the hospital. Carl Anthony Towns
- 9:35Speaker 2: stayed on the court. And you, you, who might not
- 9:40Speaker 2: have even watched this game, scored as many points and
- 9:44Speaker 2: as carl Antony Towns. I scored as many points as
- 9:47Speaker 2: carl Anthony Towns in the second half.
- 9:49Speaker 1: He pitched a shutout.
- 9:51Speaker 2: He pitched a shutout, did not score a single point
- 9:55Speaker 2: in the second half. Who saig, as the joker says,
- 9:58Speaker 2: carl Anthony Towns as zer z row.
- 10:00Speaker 1: A zip and a zilch nada.
- 10:03Speaker 2: He got, as my grandfather would say, buppkis in the
- 10:06Speaker 2: second half and So there you go.
- 10:09Speaker 1: That is a two hundred and twenty million dollar ball player.
- 10:12Speaker 1: That is he two twenty dollars.
- 10:14Speaker 2: The Knicks gave him the two undred twenty million, He's
- 10:16Speaker 2: got the two hundred twenty million dollars forty nine million
- 10:20Speaker 2: a year. Guy doesn't even score in the second half
- 10:23Speaker 2: of a home playoff game, not a road game, not
- 10:26Speaker 2: a road game, home playoff game. And that that's Carl Anthony.
- 10:29Speaker 2: It's hard to take the Nick seriously. As much as
- 10:31Speaker 2: we enjoy Jalen Brunson, right, the way that Brunson plays,
- 10:34Speaker 2: there's an edge to Brunson game and all that. The
- 10:37Speaker 2: antithesis of that would be Karl Anthony Towns and so
- 10:40Speaker 2: having them together and that there are others right og
- 10:44Speaker 2: was Oh no, Annonobi was no good and he was bad,
- 10:49Speaker 2: but he's a supporting character. Karl Anthony Towns is supposed
- 10:52Speaker 2: to be more than that. The expectations are higher for him,
- 10:55Speaker 2: and he did not do it. Now page two. One
- 10:58Speaker 2: of the big talking points from this Knicks Pistons game
- 11:02Speaker 2: were people up in arms. There was a lot of
- 11:05Speaker 2: finger pointing and blaming and shaming when it comes to
- 11:08Speaker 2: a Nick player who actually had a great stat line
- 11:11Speaker 2: and played well, not great, but well.
- 11:14Speaker 1: For the Knicks.
- 11:16Speaker 2: What do you make of the criticism of Jalen Brunson
- 11:21Speaker 2: embellishing contact throughout.
- 11:23Speaker 1: The game as the Knicks go down, So what did
- 11:27Speaker 1: you make of it?
- 11:28Speaker 2: A lot of criticism as Jalen Brunson was flopping around
- 11:32Speaker 2: the old flop floppa flop of flopper.
- 11:35Speaker 1: That's what he was doing.
- 11:37Speaker 2: So the criticism of Jalen Brunson, the word is the
- 11:41Speaker 2: E word expected. It was expected now Brunson. I like
- 11:46Speaker 2: watching him play. I didn't think he would be able
- 11:48Speaker 2: to do this. I remember when he was with the
- 11:49Speaker 2: Mavericks and he had this really good playoff run when
- 11:51Speaker 2: Luca Huka Luka got hurt and he played well. I
- 11:55Speaker 2: was like, well, you know, I not really sure whether
- 11:57Speaker 2: or not this is sustainable. And to his credit, he
- 11:59Speaker 2: had consistently played at that level.
- 12:02Speaker 1: As a Nick.
- 12:04Speaker 2: And he is a nuisance if he's not on your team,
- 12:08Speaker 2: the kind of a guy that you like when he's
- 12:10Speaker 2: on your team, and when he's not on your squad,
- 12:13Speaker 2: you think he's a schmuck and you don't like him
- 12:16Speaker 2: and he's a pest and all that.
- 12:18Speaker 1: So that's that's fair.
- 12:20Speaker 2: That's not exactly the most pleasing to the eye to
- 12:23Speaker 2: watch Jalen Brunson try to bait the officials into a
- 12:26Speaker 2: call every single time there is contact on pretty much
- 12:30Speaker 2: every possession where you're running an offensive set in the
- 12:34Speaker 2: NBA as far as the wide angle lands on this.
- 12:38Speaker 2: The way I look at it, it is a watching
- 12:40Speaker 2: Jalen bruns to plays a Shakespearean situation, like a Shakespearean
- 12:44Speaker 2: play William Shakespeare, not the Merchant of Venice, the foul
- 12:49Speaker 2: merchant of the garden. Will call him, the foul merchant
- 12:52Speaker 2: of the garden, we will call him. He has the
- 12:54Speaker 2: ability the innata bildy. He might as well be over
- 12:57Speaker 2: on Madison Avenue trying to sell foul owls whatever it is.
- 13:02Speaker 2: It's a foul Oh my god, I'm dying over here.
- 13:06Speaker 1: I'm dying.
- 13:07Speaker 2: It's like he's on Broadway every single time, foul baiting,
- 13:12Speaker 2: foul bit put rules in to try to stop that,
- 13:16Speaker 2: and he's able to work himself around the rules, selling
- 13:20Speaker 2: the fowls.
- 13:20Speaker 1: As we say, and all that stuff.
- 13:22Speaker 2: So Brunson has become a Rhodes scholar at that all right, now,
- 13:26Speaker 2: final point, speaking of the foul situation. There was one
- 13:32Speaker 2: person in particular who was huffing and puffing following the game,
- 13:36Speaker 2: very upset, and that would be the head coach of
- 13:40Speaker 2: the Knickerbockers, Tom Thibodeaux. Tom Thibodeaux, that's right. He was
- 13:46Speaker 2: very unhappy, very very unhappy. There after the game, the
- 13:50Speaker 2: head coach of the Nicks. He argued against Caid Cuttingham
- 13:54Speaker 2: getting so many foul shots in this game, and he
- 13:58Speaker 2: said there was marginal coach. Well, rather than me give
- 14:01Speaker 2: you the quote verbatim, here is Tom Thibodeau commenting on
- 14:05Speaker 2: the officiating.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Tigle is huge discrepancy and free throws huge. So I
- 14:11Speaker 3: got to take a look at that. I don't understand,
- 14:13Speaker 3: you know how on one side, you know, you talk
- 14:16Speaker 3: about the direct line drives the guy's getting fouled and
- 14:19Speaker 3: as not being called right. So and look, I really
- 14:22Speaker 3: don't give a crap how they call the game as
- 14:24Speaker 3: long as it's consistent on both sides. So if Cunningham's
- 14:28Speaker 3: driving and there's marginal contact and he's getting to the line,
- 14:31Speaker 3: then Jalen deserves to be getting to the line. It's
- 14:33Speaker 3: really that simple.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Okay.
- 14:35Speaker 2: So it's that simple. Hey, we recorded that doesn't that
- 14:38Speaker 2: sound like old school audio from like the nineteens, fifties
- 14:42Speaker 2: or something like seventy seventy five years old audio or
- 14:45Speaker 2: something like that. Tom Thibodeau, we had a tin can
- 14:48Speaker 2: in a string. We recorded that, all right, So what
- 14:51Speaker 2: is you just heard the audio? What is the Knicks coach,
- 14:54Speaker 2: Tom Thibodeau looking to accomplish with that rant about the officials?
- 15:01Speaker 2: What is Tom Tiberdau looking to accomplish. So my word
- 15:04Speaker 2: on this one is politicking. That is my word is politicking.
- 15:10Speaker 2: It is the time of the year here, we are
- 15:12Speaker 2: in late April, and this will go on through May
- 15:15Speaker 2: and June. If you watch all of this, Tom Thibodeau
- 15:20Speaker 2: is politicking for calls.
- 15:22Speaker 1: He's lobbying. He's lobbying the referees in the league office,
- 15:28Speaker 1: and they monitor all the soundbites and all this nonsense.
- 15:32Speaker 2: By publicly condemning, by pointing out the inaccuracy of the officials, obviously.
- 15:40Speaker 1: You know what that means.
- 15:41Speaker 2: There is inconsistent work here and my entire life, the
- 15:45Speaker 2: reason the Knicks haven't won championship in my lifetime is
- 15:48Speaker 2: because of the officials. Everyone's out to get New York
- 15:51Speaker 2: teams Obviously no one ever leans towards the knickerbockers.
- 15:56Speaker 1: Anyway, So he's trying to influence. We know what this is,
- 15:57Speaker 1: trying to influence.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Decisions by the officials and have a cause, which that's
- 16:04Speaker 2: one of the issues with all of sports, but in
- 16:06Speaker 2: basketball in particular, it's what you choose to enforce. Much
- 16:10Speaker 2: like police work, right, there are laws for everything. What
- 16:12Speaker 2: do you choose to enforce? What do you choose not
- 16:14Speaker 2: to enforce? And in the NBA, what do you choose?
- 16:17Speaker 2: They've actually let the players play a lot more in
- 16:19Speaker 2: the playoffs the first couple of games, and they had.
- 16:21Speaker 1: In the past.
- 16:22Speaker 2: So anyway, this is a common tactic what Tom Thibodeau
- 16:25Speaker 2: is doing among coaches, especially during the postseason here where
- 16:30Speaker 2: any call could turn the whole season and series around
- 16:33Speaker 2: and all that stuff. And I watched the Knicks and
- 16:36Speaker 2: it's pretty much if Jalen Brunson doesn't get to the line,
- 16:40Speaker 2: there's a lot of io with Jalen Brunson, and if
- 16:43Speaker 2: that doesn't work, you're just shooting jump shots and you
- 16:46Speaker 2: don't usually get foul calls on jump shots.
- 16:49Speaker 1: But what do I know?
- 16:49Speaker 2: I just tost the Overnight Show anyway. It is the
- 16:51Speaker 2: Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to be part eight

- 19:13Speaker 2: that's the reality of the situation. And we had another
- 19:17Speaker 2: one of those odd moments where during the Knicks Pistons game,
- 19:22Speaker 2: they showed the celebrity row. Now the Knicks are very
- 19:27Speaker 2: rude to a lot of rich people who do not
- 19:30Speaker 2: kiss the ring of James Dolman. Remember Charles Oakley got
- 19:34Speaker 2: taken out in handcuffs, so it was ridiculous. But anyway,
- 19:38Speaker 2: so they give celebrities free tickets if they can put
- 19:41Speaker 2: you on TV. As I understand it, they give you
- 19:44Speaker 2: free tickets at Nicks games, and they put you on
- 19:46Speaker 2: celebrity row, and they love the history of the Knicks.
- 19:49Speaker 2: They put all the legends of the nation, all those
- 19:51Speaker 2: great players that haven't done anything in big games over
- 19:54Speaker 2: the years, they put them all out there, and they
- 19:57Speaker 2: showed Bernard King. Now I realize Bernard King hasn't been
- 20:02Speaker 2: a relevant name in basketball any long term. I had
- 20:05Speaker 2: not seen Bernard King in many, many years. And Bernard
- 20:10Speaker 2: at this point, he's a you know, he's sixty eight
- 20:12Speaker 2: years old.
- 20:13Speaker 1: He's you know, he's an older dude.
- 20:14Speaker 2: And he looks nothing like he did when he was younger,
- 20:18Speaker 2: as most people do not look if they're lucky enough
- 20:20Speaker 2: to make the sixty eight or seventy or eighty or whatever,
- 20:22Speaker 2: you don't look the same.
- 20:23Speaker 1: But it was a dramatic turn of events.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Dramatic turn events like he looked like Lance the bus driver,
- 20:31Speaker 2: and I was like, well that's Bernard King. That guy
- 20:33Speaker 2: was like a scoring machine a million years ago. But
- 20:37Speaker 2: still it's like, whow you see somebody you hadn't seen
- 20:40Speaker 2: it in a while, and they look a lot different.
- 20:41Speaker 2: You're like, that's pretty crazy. It's pretty wild man. But
- 20:45Speaker 2: he showed him on TV. Right there, Bernard King, legendary Knickerbocker,
- 20:50Speaker 2: right there. Late Night Drug tester says the reason the
- 20:53Speaker 2: Knicks press conference sounds terrible is because James Dowin put
- 20:57Speaker 2: all the sound system budget.
- 20:59Speaker 1: Into the spear in Vegas. Yeah. I was actually in
- 21:03Speaker 1: Vegas this weekend.
- 21:04Speaker 2: I stopped by for a quick visit, and I did
- 21:07Speaker 2: see the did see the spear.
- 21:09Speaker 1: And looked at it, and then I kept driving and
- 21:12Speaker 1: I did not did not look back. There you go.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Jill rights since says only you would rip Brunson, he
- 21:19Speaker 2: is a mensch. Jill, I did not. You might want
- 21:22Speaker 2: to go to Costco. They have a hearing aid thing there.
- 21:26Speaker 2: You might want to get hearing it. I did not
- 21:27Speaker 2: rip Brunson. How did I rip Brunson? I ripped Carl
- 21:31Speaker 2: Anthony Towns. Jill, I did not rip Jalen Brunson. I said,
- 21:35Speaker 2: I like Brunson. I just pointed out that if Brunson
- 21:38Speaker 2: is not on your team, you're not a fan of Brunson.
- 21:42Speaker 2: But I said I like Brunson. I did not believe
- 21:45Speaker 2: in Brunson when he left the Mavericks. I thought that
- 21:47Speaker 2: was a fluke. He had a big playoff run and
- 21:50Speaker 2: I didn't think that was sustainable. And he's proven me
- 21:54Speaker 2: to be a donkey.
- 21:56Speaker 1: He's played well. But how did you.
- 21:58Speaker 2: How did you hear that I took a shot at Brunson,
- 22:01Speaker 2: that I would rip Brunson.
- 22:02Speaker 1: I didn't rip Brunson.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Chiping the ques right, since says a plus on the
- 22:05Speaker 2: malle monologue, It's funny how I clearly remember hearing hearing
- 22:10Speaker 2: Ben Maller on Fox Sports Radio working the third shift
- 22:13Speaker 2: back in eight If back then you were indeed just
- 22:17Speaker 2: a mere boy, how come Fox Sports Radio was never
- 22:20Speaker 2: fined for child labor law violations?
- 22:23Speaker 1: Inquiring minds want to.
- 22:24Speaker 2: Know that's a good question, then well, listen, that's a
- 22:27Speaker 2: you gotta go to corporate. I don't know, Uh, Lorena,
- 22:30Speaker 2: I mean listen, uh, whatever happened there was a sweatshop.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I mean we were all like kids, you know, Jason
- 22:36Speaker 2: was a little older than me. Jason, I think was
- 22:39Speaker 2: in junior high school.
- 22:40Speaker 1: I think so.
- 22:42Speaker 2: But yeah, by the way, a source has just a
- 22:45Speaker 2: source up late who has insider information in the Knicks organization.
- 22:51Speaker 2: He's embedded on the East Coast. He says, yes, the
- 22:54Speaker 2: Knicks still give free tickets away to celebrities, so that
- 22:58Speaker 2: is that is confirmed. A source who is connected to
- 23:03Speaker 2: the Knicks organization. Hey, uh and uh, he says, do
- 23:09Speaker 2: you think Bernard King could afford those seats? He's gone
- 23:12Speaker 2: the way of Justin Blackman. He said, all right, more
- 23:16Speaker 2: on Justin Blackman coming up in a little bit the
- 23:18Speaker 2: former Jacksonville Wide Receiver. This portion of the show may

- 23:38Speaker 1: Hello, Jerome, Hey, Hey.
- 23:41Speaker 5: Hey Van, Hey Bean. I'm not saying that Rick Brunton
- 23:44Speaker 5: is a dirty player, but he does play on the
- 23:47Speaker 5: edge when he channels his enter James Harden, if you
- 23:51Speaker 5: know what I'm.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Saying, Well, Jay, Well, your daity you're dating yourself, you said,
- 23:54Speaker 2: Rick Brunston, which is his dad.
- 23:56Speaker 1: This is the kick, Yeah, dad.
- 24:00Speaker 5: On the sidelines. You know, I remember I was watching
- 24:03Speaker 5: the game the nither Man here just for that Gil
- 24:06Speaker 5: at Bruston boy, Hey, I'd have to suck a punch
- 24:09Speaker 5: him a couple of times because he gets he like
- 24:12Speaker 5: he elbowed Jaxon. He's in the game of about a
- 24:16Speaker 5: month or two ago, and Jack and Haes looks at
- 24:18Speaker 5: their fishs like I get hit the mouth with his
- 24:22Speaker 5: hat and his shoulder and you call the follow on me.
- 24:25Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he gets star treatment, he gets start you
- 24:29Speaker 5: what he wants him to get more calls? Okay, not
- 24:33Speaker 5: less more.
- 24:34Speaker 1: That's the way.
- 24:35Speaker 2: You know, he's a star on the Knicks and he's
- 24:38Speaker 2: going to get calls, just like the stars on every
- 24:40Speaker 2: team get calls.
- 24:41Speaker 5: New York Go, Do York go go?
- 24:43Speaker 6: Do you go to hey An?
- 24:46Speaker 5: Yes, charmdy Hey was Chucky boy playing the night then?
- 24:52Speaker 3: Yes?
- 24:52Speaker 7: Good? Yeah?
- 24:54Speaker 1: Yeah, he played well.
- 24:54Speaker 2: We had I think, hold a second, I think Rip
- 24:57Speaker 2: Hamilton had a big game. Ben Wallace said about fifteen
- 25:00Speaker 2: Rashid Wallace came up big in that third quarter.
- 25:02Speaker 1: It was big.
- 25:03Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, they played well, I'm surprised they got back
- 25:08Speaker 5: the ball. I'm thinking they lose this game. The night man,
- 25:12Speaker 5: this team was over because that was that twenty one
- 25:15Speaker 5: point melt down. They handed the game one. That was ridiculous.
- 25:20Speaker 2: Well, it was ridiculous. But however, whole sector rope, take
- 25:23Speaker 2: a breath. It was ridiculous. However, the Pistons actually for
- 25:27Speaker 2: three of the four quarters were the better team, and
- 25:30Speaker 2: in this game, for all four quarters they were the
- 25:32Speaker 2: better team. So they played eight quarters and the Detroit
- 25:36Speaker 2: Pistons have been the better team seven of the eight quarters. Right,
- 25:40Speaker 2: So that's yeah, that's not too shabby, right, that was
- 25:44Speaker 2: pretty good. Okay, asking me a question, go ahead, ask
- 25:51Speaker 2: me a question.
- 25:52Speaker 5: Yes, Hey, when the Lakers fans taught Anthony Adlins tonight,
- 26:01Speaker 5: he's got two millions.
- 26:06Speaker 8: My my, yeah, it's uh, it's it's yeah.
- 26:18Speaker 2: It's fair to say, you're now For those that haven't
- 26:21Speaker 2: seen him, maybe you're not on the social media, but
- 26:23Speaker 2: Jerome clearly is a viral video here of Aunt Edwards
- 26:27Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards there of the Minnesota Timberwolves, and it was
- 26:30Speaker 2: recorded on grainy celf on footage at the Laker game
- 26:33Speaker 2: the other day and the fans are rasing Anthony Edwards,
- 26:38Speaker 2: and he's pointing out how much money one of his
- 26:40Speaker 2: teammates makes and then points out that he has a
- 26:44Speaker 2: very large twigg and berries and I think just the twig.
- 26:47Speaker 2: I don't know about the berries, but he wanted everyone
- 26:49Speaker 2: to know that in the press. Yes, which is good.
- 26:51Speaker 2: I don't it's fair to say likely not going to
- 26:54Speaker 2: be the face of the NBA with that mouth.
- 26:56Speaker 1: But he's a lot of fun. He's a lot of fun, right,
- 26:59Speaker 1: I mean, jerome but real.
- 27:00Speaker 2: You know, who knows? No one, No one knows if
- 27:02Speaker 2: he's telling the truth. By the way, there's a lot
- 27:04Speaker 2: of women that know. I think many of them around
- 27:06Speaker 2: the country. But we don't know about that.
- 27:08Speaker 1: Dan Well, I don't know either.
- 27:10Speaker 2: But but I'm saying he's a he's very he's the
- 27:13Speaker 2: forefather of the next generation of basketball players.
- 27:15Speaker 1: How about that?
- 27:16Speaker 5: Hey, I gotta ask you a little bit. But what
- 27:19Speaker 5: this new thing about the about the Lakers? If they
- 27:22Speaker 5: lose tonight, Man, what they're gonna be like? Man?
- 27:25Speaker 6: What's that?
- 27:26Speaker 2: It'd be great. I'm gonna have a party. Uh, it'll
- 27:29Speaker 2: be so wonderful. I cannot wait.
- 27:32Speaker 7: This phone call is still going on. He's been on
- 27:34Speaker 7: the air for like five minutes.
- 27:36Speaker 1: A great phone call this, Hey, this.
- 27:39Speaker 5: Is a treat for you, mister Gavin Bronco who doesn't
- 27:42Speaker 5: know anything about the Broncos.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Oh that's a shot too, if he took a shot
- 27:46Speaker 1: at your coop.
- 27:47Speaker 5: I know more about the Broncos. I forgot more about
- 27:50Speaker 5: the Broncos.
- 27:52Speaker 9: Yes, I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm sure you have.
- 27:55Speaker 5: I don't know. I've lived in Hey. I know what
- 28:00Speaker 5: what that oxygen leg I used to have PT tests
- 28:04Speaker 5: I have to take.
- 28:05Speaker 1: What's that?
- 28:06Speaker 9: What's the name of the Broncos? GM tell me right now.
- 28:09Speaker 5: I have no.
- 28:11Speaker 1: No, his name is no idea. This guy's name is
- 28:14Speaker 1: first name, no, last day and the last super.
- 28:16Speaker 7: Super knowledgeable about the Broncos.
- 28:19Speaker 5: I don't care.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Yeah, but you asked him about Beryl Man. I bet
- 28:23Speaker 2: you Jerome knows about Beryl man Man.
- 28:25Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, exactly thirty below he's with a barrel in
- 28:31Speaker 5: his underwear.
- 28:33Speaker 9: He's a legend. You watch your mouth, man.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Oh there's more. And this call kid.
- 28:38Speaker 2: By the way, you're tuning in. It's the Jerome and
- 28:40Speaker 2: Charleston Show, and I'm the caller. My name is Ben
- 28:43Speaker 2: I'm calling into the Jerome and Charleston show, Yestero, I
- 28:46Speaker 2: have a question, Yes, go ahead, what.
- 28:47Speaker 5: What what is that moral in his sport checked or politics? Ben?
- 28:52Speaker 5: Because he got another sex story going on, I can't wait.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Well, I don't know if you know about this, Jerome,
- 28:57Speaker 2: but people have sex, so there's going to be sex
- 28:59Speaker 2: scandal in sports that that generally happens. Uh. And the athletes,
- 29:04Speaker 2: like everyone else, they have more access maybe than other people,
- 29:07Speaker 2: to a lot of sex. So yeah, yeah, well, well
- 29:13Speaker 2: another dated reference by Jerome Chell. You're referring to Shannon Sharp,
- 29:16Speaker 2: but we will discuss that later. I think it's fair
- 29:19Speaker 2: to say that I've seen a lot of lawsuits over
- 29:22Speaker 2: the years, and I would say that's one of the
- 29:24Speaker 2: great comebacks by Shannon Shark. Well, that's that's well, that's
- 29:31Speaker 2: her lawyer. But I believe Buzzby you don't win them all.
- 29:34Speaker 2: And Buzzby's you know, he's boxed into a corner now
- 29:38Speaker 2: Buzzby by Shannon Sharp's lawyers. So that's a that's a good,
- 29:42Speaker 2: good situation right now. Well not not on this one.
- 29:47Speaker 2: It does not look like a winning kids. I gotta go,
- 29:49Speaker 2: you buy my god, you bug out of your show?
- 29:52Speaker 2: How dare you go away? What's wrong with you? Let's
- 29:55Speaker 2: go to Chris, who's in the Great state of Michigan,
- 29:58Speaker 2: but he wants to talk about the chicken. I could say, think, hello, Chris, welcome,
- 30:03Speaker 2: Chris going once there he is there, he is there,
- 30:07Speaker 2: There is yes, there he is Chris the caller.
- 30:11Speaker 6: Yes, a newbie caller.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Time, we got a newby, we got a newby, newby newbies.
- 30:18Speaker 10: Well, I called about an hour ago, and I see why.
- 30:22Speaker 2: Oh you're complaining. See you're complaining. You're already you're starting
- 30:26Speaker 2: to call with your complaint.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Yes, I know you.
- 30:30Speaker 2: It's like you call up that you called up. It's
- 30:32Speaker 2: like you're in Guantanamo Bay. You're in prison, and I'm
- 30:34Speaker 2: keeping you from hanging.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Up the phone.
- 30:36Speaker 2: You're you're not allowed to hang up when you call in.
- 30:38Speaker 2: You are forced to stay on hold. That is as
- 30:42Speaker 2: absolutely true.
- 30:42Speaker 6: I'm driving from Detroit to Chicago, so I had no
- 30:45Speaker 6: other thing to.
- 30:46Speaker 1: Do that you got you you could stay out hold
- 30:48Speaker 1: another two hours? Then who carry you?
- 30:51Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 30:51Speaker 6: Exactly all right.
- 30:52Speaker 10: So the nuggets I wanted to say, you're opening, uh,
- 30:56Speaker 10: you're opening dialogue there was pretty good, but you had
- 31:00Speaker 10: one thing wrong missing from the equation there.
- 31:03Speaker 6: And I saw on social media that Peyton Manning was
- 31:07Speaker 6: at the game choke artists of all time.
- 31:11Speaker 2: So I do you believe the Nuggets lost because Peyton
- 31:13Speaker 2: Manning was there too? Doesn't he go to most of
- 31:15Speaker 2: the Nuggets games? He lives in Denver?
- 31:18Speaker 6: He does, he does, he does? Well, Look, I don't.
- 31:21Speaker 6: I don't watch the NBA. I haven't watched it in
- 31:25Speaker 6: about three years because my team, the Pistons, just decided
- 31:30Speaker 6: to get good recently.
- 31:32Speaker 2: And so are you going to go back now because
- 31:33Speaker 2: the Pistons are relevant? So are you going to try
- 31:35Speaker 2: to go back now and jump on the bandwagon.
- 31:38Speaker 6: Actually, I have a good Piston story.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Okay.
- 31:40Speaker 10: I used to work in radio and I had a
- 31:45Speaker 10: media pass to the Pistons I want to say, four
- 31:48Speaker 10: or five years ago, and I got kicked out and
- 31:52Speaker 10: was told to never come back because I asked Dwayne
- 31:55Speaker 10: Casey why Blake Griffin was struggling playing defense.
- 31:59Speaker 6: I think it was the third game of the season
- 32:01Speaker 6: against the Celtics.
- 32:03Speaker 2: Yeah, so they did not You didn't like steal anything,
- 32:07Speaker 2: you didn't violate, and you just asked a question that
- 32:11Speaker 2: seems like a fair question to me, and they told
- 32:14Speaker 2: you to never come back.
- 32:17Speaker 6: I got the notes after the game.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Yes, and did you ask why did you say why?
- 32:26Speaker 4: I was?
- 32:27Speaker 10: I was working for like a local magazine and they're
- 32:30Speaker 10: the ones that told me so. I didn't have any
- 32:32Speaker 10: communication with anyone working for the Pistons.
- 32:35Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well that's that is bizarre. I'm not
- 32:39Speaker 2: shocked by a lot of the team. Yeah, and if
- 32:42Speaker 2: you were at those games. I'm not at games as
- 32:44Speaker 2: much as I used to be these days, but when
- 32:47Speaker 2: I was there, a lot of the media we call
- 32:51Speaker 2: them the knee pad media because they wear.
- 32:53Speaker 1: Knee pads for the hometown team.
- 32:54Speaker 2: They don't they think A lot of the media think
- 32:57Speaker 2: they're part of the teams, like they think they're on
- 32:59Speaker 2: the team, like I know the Lakers. A lot of
- 33:01Speaker 2: Laker media they think they are literally part of the
- 33:05Speaker 2: traveling party, for example with the Lakers.
- 33:07Speaker 1: And it's pretty embarrassing.
- 33:09Speaker 2: But I'm I'm not shocking. I don't know that's allowed though.
- 33:12Speaker 2: I don't think that's allowed, just on that. I don't
- 33:14Speaker 2: think they can do that, but what do I know.
- 33:16Speaker 6: So anyway, and that's what they did.
- 33:18Speaker 10: Well, I have listened to your guys' show for a
- 33:21Speaker 10: long time. I worked in overnight shift in radio about
- 33:25Speaker 10: ten years ago. Don't really get to listen to it

- 36:40Speaker 1: Do you have an answer? Loray?
- 36:41Speaker 9: No, No, I don't.
- 36:47Speaker 1: I got to tell it all right. The answer is
- 36:50Speaker 1: Terry Porter. You know what team Terry Porter played for?
- 36:53Speaker 3: No?
- 36:53Speaker 9: But Fran Dresher was gonna be wrong one.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Okay, probably so Trailblazer Great Terry Porter nineteen ninety two.
- 36:59Speaker 1: Here we go, there we go, Here we go, Here
- 37:01Speaker 1: we go. How about here we go?
- 37:05Speaker 4: This is one big Ben gets grilled.
- 37:08Speaker 1: Go ahead, cool.
- 37:09Speaker 7: So we already know that Kirk Cousins doesn't want to
- 37:11Speaker 7: be traded until after the draft. The latest report from
- 37:13Speaker 7: Adam Schefter says that the Falcons are asking any team
- 37:16Speaker 7: trading for Cousins pay twenty million of his remaining forty
- 37:19Speaker 7: five million in guarantees.
- 37:21Speaker 9: So far, no team has been willing to do that.
- 37:23Speaker 7: Ben, do you think after the draft the team will
- 37:25Speaker 7: be willing to do that or will the Falcons have
- 37:27Speaker 7: to scale back their demands.
- 37:29Speaker 2: Well, the Falcons have to get rid of Kirk Cousins,
- 37:32Speaker 2: and they have to play ball with Kirk Cousins because
- 37:35Speaker 2: he's got a no trade cost. And if I'm not mistaken,
- 37:38Speaker 2: they just added Easton Stick, which I believe his code
- 37:41Speaker 2: for suck. But he's the former Charger. They added him,
- 37:44Speaker 2: so they've they've got their back up. They're clearing the deck.
- 37:47Speaker 2: They're they're adding a player to get rid of Cousins.
- 37:49Speaker 2: They will end up trading him they'll work something out,
- 37:52Speaker 2: and he's likely going to go to the Cleveland Browns.
- 37:54Speaker 2: If Aaron Rodgers were tires, then you can go to Pittsburgh.
- 37:57Speaker 1: But he'll go somewhere. He's not going to stay in Atlanta.
- 37:59Speaker 7: Next, Rogers GM Joe Horitz said that they don't feel
- 38:02Speaker 7: pressure to address any position in the draft, and therefore
- 38:05Speaker 7: they can just take whoever the best player is when
- 38:06Speaker 7: they're pick us up.
- 38:08Speaker 9: But do you think they should be addressing a specific position.
- 38:10Speaker 1: It's full of crap. That's that's the way. That's a
- 38:12Speaker 1: non answer answer. But we're just gonna draft the best
- 38:16Speaker 1: player available. It's pulker.
- 38:17Speaker 2: What if the best player is a quarterback, they're gonna
- 38:19Speaker 2: draft a quarterback.
- 38:20Speaker 5: No, they're not.
- 38:21Speaker 1: They're full of crap. I mean, it's shut up. They're liars.
- 38:25Speaker 7: Next, the Bucks got blown out by the Pacers in
- 38:28Speaker 7: Game one of their series against Indiana, but Milwaukee was
- 38:31Speaker 7: without Damian Lillard. Reports are that he'll be back for
- 38:34Speaker 7: Game two or three. Will that be enough time for
- 38:36Speaker 7: the Bucks to turn the series around?
- 38:38Speaker 2: Two words, Cooper Loop, Doc Rivers. They are cooked? Okay,
- 38:43Speaker 2: Doc Rivers done. The Pacers should win that series anyway.
- 38:49Speaker 6: I love Leylard.
- 38:49Speaker 2: I love them in Portland, not as much as Milwaukee.
- 38:52Speaker 2: And he's a fine player and all that, but that
- 38:54Speaker 2: is a flawed team the box. And even with Dame
- 38:57Speaker 2: Lillard he's been out for a while, they're not gonna when.
- 39:00Speaker 4: How did we go?
- 39:01Speaker 1: Howesday? When I won the game? Who I won the game?
- 39:08Speaker 3: I won the game?
- 39:09Speaker 2: I won
