- 2:41Speaker 1: That's right now. We got NFL football coming up on
- 2:45Speaker 1: a Thursday night in the Delaware Valley and the story
- 2:48Speaker 1: that everyone's been yapping about. I thought somebody had died.
- 2:50Speaker 1: When I woke up, I was like, oh, my god,
- 2:52Speaker 1: was little Groggy you ever do that? You grab your phone,
- 2:55Speaker 1: Little Groggy and get a lot of messages. I said, well,
- 2:57Speaker 1: either I lost my job, someone died. Something bad happened,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and they are looking around. It's not that bad. Yeah,
- 3:05Speaker 1: then I rolled over on the pillow. But the scandal,
- 3:09Speaker 1: the scandal of the day in the NBA. If you
- 3:15Speaker 1: have not seen this, maybe not the Clippers, the people's
- 3:18Speaker 1: team and the richest man in all of sport, Steve Balmer.
- 3:23Speaker 1: That's the guy that owns the team, although they don't
- 3:26Speaker 1: call him owners because they're woke. Over there at the NBA.
- 3:28Speaker 1: They call them governors, but everyone else calls them owners
- 3:30Speaker 1: because they're it's ridiculous anyway. The Clippers and owner Steve
- 3:34Speaker 1: Balmer have been accused of giving a star Kawhi Leonard
- 3:39Speaker 1: a nineteen nineties Sopranos HBO style job twenty eight million
- 3:46Speaker 1: dollars for a no show job. Where do I sign
- 3:49Speaker 1: up for that? My god? All of this said to
- 3:54Speaker 1: be in an effort, a covert effort to circumvent the
- 3:59Speaker 1: salary cap rules of the NBA. Now, Pablo Torre detailed
- 4:05Speaker 1: the accusations on the podcast. He's got this fledgling podcast
- 4:11Speaker 1: which has about you know, I don't know five people
- 4:13Speaker 1: listening to it. But he claims he has a direct
- 4:15Speaker 1: legal documentation. He's got a deep throat who used to
- 4:20Speaker 1: work for this company, and he laid it all out,
- 4:24Speaker 1: laid all of it out in an effort to get
- 4:27Speaker 1: clicks and become famous and make a lot of money
- 4:29Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So he says that Kawhi Leonard
- 4:33Speaker 1: was paid seven million dollars a year but a total
- 4:35Speaker 1: twenty eight million through a company, a tree planning service.
- 4:41Speaker 1: That's right, man, that's a lot of money to plant trees.
- 4:45Speaker 1: The company's now bankrupt. Hard to believe, and he's accusing
- 4:50Speaker 1: The podcast guy is accusing Balmer of paying paying Kawhi
- 4:54Speaker 1: Leonard more than his current contract with which would go
- 5:00Speaker 1: against the NBA rules. Now, this guy, Pablo Toy never
- 5:06Speaker 1: found evidence that Leonard marketed or endorsed the company that
- 5:10Speaker 1: you've never heard of. Even more telling, the claimed they
- 5:14Speaker 1: found a clause that stated that Kawhi Leonard would only
- 5:17Speaker 1: be paid the money if he remained a member of
- 5:20Speaker 1: the People's team the Clippers now a former a former employee.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Of course, the company's long around, so they're all former employees,
- 5:28Speaker 1: but somebody used to work with the company claimed that
- 5:30Speaker 1: the agreement between the tree planting service in Leonard was
- 5:36Speaker 1: done to circumvent the salary cap a real Cloak and
- 5:40Speaker 1: Dager mission of the NBA has said they have opened
- 5:44Speaker 1: up in investigation. The Keystone Cops are on it. Don't worry,
- 5:47Speaker 1: They're good to go. Keystone Cops is named after old
- 5:51Speaker 1: old beer company and the Clippers. The Clippers have denied
- 5:54Speaker 1: any wrongdoing in a letter that was vetted by an
- 5:59Speaker 1: army of very wealthy people that passed through the bar
- 6:03Speaker 1: and have become lawyers. So let us discuss the question
- 6:07Speaker 1: how much trouble. How much trouble are the Clippers and
- 6:12Speaker 1: owner Steve Balmer in with this situation now the Kawhi
- 6:17Speaker 1: Leonard no show job report. How much trouble are they in?
- 6:21Speaker 1: So I've got ruffles, butterball, turkey, and samurai sword and
- 6:28Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 6:32Speaker 1: are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, one of
- 6:37Speaker 1: the great sandwiches we have in this world. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy,
- 6:41Speaker 1: So a on the Malard scale of the trouble, the
- 6:46Speaker 1: Malar scale of trouble, which is the measuring tool that
- 6:49Speaker 1: we use to determine what is good and what is bad.
- 6:52Speaker 1: So on the Malar scale of trouble one to ten,
- 6:55Speaker 1: with ten being real bad, this is a seven. I'm
- 6:58Speaker 1: at a seven on the of trouble. Not quite a
- 7:03Speaker 1: sentence to the dungeon. You're not being sent to the dungeon,
- 7:07Speaker 1: but we are talking about the reason I'm out of seven.
- 7:10Speaker 1: This is a full blown pr inferno, burn baby burn.
- 7:16Speaker 1: The damage is done. The headline is out, and we
- 7:21Speaker 1: know that the people are dumb and they only react
- 7:24Speaker 1: to the headline. And that's it. The headline's out and
- 7:28Speaker 1: you get into the mine, and that's what people go with. Right,
- 7:30Speaker 1: people react to the headline. I do the same thing.
- 7:32Speaker 1: People send me a story. How often do I not
- 7:35Speaker 1: even click on the story? Somebody will send me It
- 7:37Speaker 1: happens a lot. And there's been research done that most
- 7:40Speaker 1: people don't even bother clicking on the story. So I
- 7:43Speaker 1: did read these stories. But this is a bag of ruffles,
- 7:47Speaker 1: is what this is. It's a there was a visceral
- 7:49Speaker 1: reaction to the oven baked ruffles, and it was baked
- 7:54Speaker 1: right into the discourse. Here this is a Wolf of
- 7:56Speaker 1: Wall Street meets load management situation. You've got Steve playing
- 8:00Speaker 1: the role of Jordan Belfort, except instead of tossing dwarfs
- 8:06Speaker 1: at the bullseye, he is apparently tossing allegedly millions and
- 8:11Speaker 1: millions at a guy who hasn't posted a single social
- 8:16Speaker 1: media comment or ad for, or even a picture with
- 8:19Speaker 1: a tree for this company. No billboards, no commercials, no collab,
- 8:26Speaker 1: none of that. Just a clause, a clause that says
- 8:30Speaker 1: you get paid if you stay a Clipper. That's not
- 8:34Speaker 1: an endorsement deal. I actually have had, believe it or not,
- 8:38Speaker 1: some endorsement deals. That's normally how they don't go. That's
- 8:41Speaker 1: a retention bonus with a fig leaf attached to it. Now,
- 8:45Speaker 1: even if Balmer didn't know the fine, the optics see
- 8:48Speaker 1: the reason I'm going to seven. The optics are pretty brutal.
- 8:52Speaker 1: You can't be the face of green innovation and end
- 8:56Speaker 1: up looking like you used a bankrupt tree company to
- 9:00Speaker 1: pay your superstar under the table. Now the Clippers are saying, hey,
- 9:03Speaker 1: they're queen. Did you expect them to say you got us,
- 9:07Speaker 1: ah man boy, we thought we could get away with it.
- 9:10Speaker 1: But you know what, we're guilty on all charges. They're
- 9:14Speaker 1: claiming that they didn't know that. They just wanted to
- 9:17Speaker 1: help out some tree hugging company and do good things.
- 9:22Speaker 1: And it's when good intentions come with a twenty eight
- 9:26Speaker 1: million dollar writer that's tied to your roster. You're not
- 9:31Speaker 1: planting trees. You're planting red flags, is what you're doing
- 9:35Speaker 1: at this point. Now, the other part of this is
- 9:37Speaker 1: we turn the page here, page two. Former Mavericks owner
- 9:42Speaker 1: and noted woke gas bag Mark Cuban has come to
- 9:47Speaker 1: the defense the Brotherhood of Owners. So Mark Cuban has
- 9:51Speaker 1: come to the defense of Steve Balmer, pushing back, Push
- 9:54Speaker 1: it back, now, push it back, pushing back on these
- 9:56Speaker 1: claims made by the fledgling podcaster Pablo Torre of salary
- 10:01Speaker 1: cap manipulation. So Cuban said, quote Steve Balmer, isn't that dumb?
- 10:07Speaker 1: He said, if he did try to feed Kawhi money
- 10:11Speaker 1: knowing what was at stake for him personally and his team,
- 10:15Speaker 1: do you think, Cuban said, do you think he meeting Balmer?
- 10:19Speaker 1: Do you think that Balmer would have let that company
- 10:22Speaker 1: go bankrupt, knowing all creditors would be visible to the world.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Now formerly of the Shark Tank, Mark Cuban argued that
- 10:32Speaker 1: the scandal actually points to the Tree company's fraud, not
- 10:39Speaker 1: Steve Balmer doing anything that wasn't kosher. He said, they
- 10:43Speaker 1: got scammed. That's what this is, Mark Cuban saying they
- 10:46Speaker 1: got scammed by this company along with many others. Cuban
- 10:50Speaker 1: wrote on a long wordy social media post the crimes
- 10:54Speaker 1: for which they pleaded guilty last week, scammers do scammy things.
- 11:00Speaker 1: The quote right there that says the default assumption that
- 11:03Speaker 1: Balmer was at fault is going to backfire, going to backfire,
- 11:08Speaker 1: says Mark Cuban. All right, that's a good jumping off point.
- 11:12Speaker 1: So thumbs up or thumbs down. Thumbs up or thumbs down.
- 11:16Speaker 1: On Mark Cuban's defense the Mavericks former owner who now
- 11:20Speaker 1: has a bit part of the teams like a cheerleader
- 11:22Speaker 1: for the Mavericks, Mark Cuban's defense of Clippers owner Steve
- 11:25Speaker 1: Bamber thumbs upper, thumbs down. So, just on face value,
- 11:30Speaker 1: Cuban tossed a haymaker of logic into what has become
- 11:35Speaker 1: a tornado of speculation, just a swirling storm of speculation,
- 11:40Speaker 1: and we're gonna give him the big old thumbs up.
- 11:44Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs up on this. Here's why. Let me
- 11:46Speaker 1: make my picture. Cuban's defense was rather straightforward. Now, you
- 11:50Speaker 1: say he's biased because he actually is part of the
- 11:52Speaker 1: ownership fraternity, and that is true. But it's not just
- 11:55Speaker 1: a character witness. It is a forensic takedown of the narrative.
- 11:59Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense here. Steve isn't that dumb,
- 12:04Speaker 1: he wrote. And even if he is that dumb, he's
- 12:06Speaker 1: got enough money where he can hire smart people that
- 12:09Speaker 1: will not allow this to happen. It's not just some
- 12:12Speaker 1: kind of billionaire bro code. Which do they have a
- 12:15Speaker 1: billionaire bro code? I don't know. I'm not a billionaire.
- 12:17Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. So Steve Balmer would have to
- 12:20Speaker 1: have the IQ in order for this to go the
- 12:22Speaker 1: way it's going right now, the IQ of a butterball
- 12:25Speaker 1: turkey to have this happen. A reminder that Steve Balmer
- 12:31Speaker 1: makes per year one billion dollars that is just off
- 12:38Speaker 1: Microsoft dividends. He doesn't have to do anything. He can
- 12:42Speaker 1: sit there and pick buggers out of his nose for
- 12:45Speaker 1: an entire year, he gets a billion dollars, He owns
- 12:47Speaker 1: four percent still of Microsoft. He doesn't need to play
- 12:51Speaker 1: salary cap twister with a shell company that just pled
- 12:56Speaker 1: guilty to fraud. And he could have spent the money
- 12:59Speaker 1: to keep the company going, knowing if it was a
- 13:01Speaker 1: sham company. He didn't do that. He chose not to
- 13:04Speaker 1: do that. If Balmer wanted to pay Kawhi here's the
- 13:06Speaker 1: other thing. If Balmer wanted to pay Kawhi Leonard under
- 13:09Speaker 1: the table, and I'm certainly not going to sit here
- 13:10Speaker 1: and say that that kind of stuff doesn't happen. It
- 13:12Speaker 1: probably does happen all the time in all of professional sports.
- 13:16Speaker 1: And there were rumors going back years ago where Robert
- 13:19Speaker 1: Kraft was taking care of Tom Brady under the table.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Whether that ever actually happened or not, the chatter was
- 13:24Speaker 1: out that, you know, you scratch my back, all scratch
- 13:27Speaker 1: your back. But just staying with this story. So, if
- 13:30Speaker 1: Balmer wanted to take care of Kawhi Leonard under the table,
- 13:35Speaker 1: he wouldn't need the bankrupt tree hugging company to do it.
- 13:41Speaker 1: He could just ven bow him from the dark web,
- 13:44Speaker 1: you know, get some kind of burner account to do
- 13:46Speaker 1: the crypto thing. Get a crypto wallet, name it load
- 13:49Speaker 1: management and there you go. Yeah, I do find it
- 13:52Speaker 1: amusing if the story is actually true, and I'm skeptical
- 13:55Speaker 1: that it's true the way it was initially reported. But
- 13:58Speaker 1: if it is, that, I mean Kawhi Leonard actually has
- 14:01Speaker 1: two no show jobs, because I consider the job he
- 14:04Speaker 1: has with the Clippers a no show job because when
- 14:06Speaker 1: they didn't the most, he doesn't show up. He rarely plays. So, man,
- 14:12Speaker 1: you talk about cashing in the chips. Now the last
- 14:15Speaker 1: word here, So what did you think of the media covers?
- 14:21Speaker 1: There was a Kawhi Leonard feeding frenzy like piranha with
- 14:25Speaker 1: blood in the water. There over the accusations of a
- 14:28Speaker 1: no show job against Kawhi Leonard. So this was a
- 14:31Speaker 1: full scale, like a metaphorical military operation claw down, we'll
- 14:38Speaker 1: call it. Why Because make no mistake, Kawhi is different
- 14:43Speaker 1: than all the other NBA stars. The NBA media elites,
- 14:47Speaker 1: the very top of the NBA media world are buddy
- 14:50Speaker 1: buddy with these guys. They are right, and they activated
- 14:56Speaker 1: these same media elites in the NBA. They activated their
- 14:59Speaker 1: grudge missiles and they locked on to Kawhi Leonard kind
- 15:03Speaker 1: of like he was the last slice of free pizza
- 15:05Speaker 1: in the press box dining room. And Kawhi Leonard is
- 15:09Speaker 1: the silent basketball introvert, the man who treats the postgame
- 15:14Speaker 1: interview like dental surgery. He would rather have a root canal.
- 15:18Speaker 1: He's not in the banana boat brotherhood. He's not in
- 15:21Speaker 1: that right. He's not trading memes with Lebron or doing
- 15:25Speaker 1: a cheeseball podcast with Draymond Green. You think he's grabbing
- 15:29Speaker 1: omelets with Michael Wilbon at the Ritz. No, you think
- 15:33Speaker 1: he's tossing back vodka tonics with Steven A at the
- 15:36Speaker 1: Four Seasons in Milwaukee talking about the culture of basketball. No,
- 15:41Speaker 1: Kawhi is probably eating a protein bar with the lights
- 15:45Speaker 1: off in his hotel room somewhere, muttering gibberish is what
- 15:48Speaker 1: he's doing here. Because of that, like the media has
- 15:51Speaker 1: got their samurai swords out. They don't just want him criticized,
- 15:56Speaker 1: they want him totally erased, which means that this is
- 16:00Speaker 1: a coordinated airstrike on Kawhi doesn't curry favor. He's the
- 16:05Speaker 1: last lone wolf for better or worse, and the media
- 16:09Speaker 1: lap dogs don't like and it may not be one
- 16:12Speaker 1: of the cool kids, but he doesn't seem to care
- 16:16Speaker 1: too much. Although if there's truth in this story, then
- 16:19Speaker 1: Kawhi will his contract will be voided. There'll be all
- 16:22Speaker 1: kinds of punishment that will come down. It is the
- 16:25Speaker 1: Ban Mallord Show. You want to comment on this or
- 16:29Speaker 1: the upcoming NFL season, It is on the Dallas Cowboys
- 16:34Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Eagles. They're gonna have some fun a
- 16:38Speaker 1: partey if you will. Here for the Cowboys and the
- 16:42Speaker 1: Eagles as they crank it up a couple of notches
- 16:45Speaker 1: on a Thursday night, which is we always get excited
- 16:47Speaker 1: for a week one of the NFL and regularly about
- 16:50Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of the game blow. They're just terrible
- 16:53Speaker 1: because the starters don't play much in the exhibition season
- 16:56Speaker 1: and it normally takes about a month for things to
- 16:58Speaker 1: really settle in. Yet we will try to remain somewhat
- 17:02Speaker 1: optimistic as the season is about to kick off in
- 17:04Speaker 1: the NFL. You want to talk about any of that,
- 17:06Speaker 1: anything we should have talked about instead of this, give
- 17:10Speaker 1: us a buzz right now eight seven, seven ninety nine
- 17:13Speaker 1: on Fox No. A buddy of mine did mention that
- 17:15Speaker 1: if this was accurate, the story is accurate, there's some
- 17:19Speaker 1: legal possibilities that circumventing you know, we did Kawhi pay
- 17:24Speaker 1: taxes on this? Did Balmer you gave this money? Does
- 17:27Speaker 1: he have to pay extra? I mean, there's some some
- 17:29Speaker 1: legal stuff involved in it. If it's actually the way
- 17:33Speaker 1: that it was initially reported, which is almost never the case, right,
- 17:36Speaker 1: The initial report is almost never accurate. There might be
- 17:39Speaker 1: some truth in there, but not not all one hundred percent.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Didn't actually get it one hundred percent right. It's never
- 17:45Speaker 1: one hundred percent right on any of these stories. Eight

- 22:02Speaker 1: let's see who do we have on the phones here? Well,
- 22:05Speaker 1: we'll go to the phones in a second. Ferg Dog says,
- 22:08Speaker 1: this fake Kawhi story blowing up just further proves how
- 22:12Speaker 1: far the Lakers have Fallman, I haven't heard a single
- 22:14Speaker 1: thing about the Lakers all off season. They simply don't
- 22:18Speaker 1: move the needle anymore. It's rather sad and it's correct
- 22:21Speaker 1: for a dog. Good take by you. Late night drug
- 22:24Speaker 1: tester says, I have no experience with running shell companies
- 22:27Speaker 1: like billionaire Steve Balmer, but I promise once I win
- 22:30Speaker 1: the power Ball on Saturday, I'll start looking into it. Yeah,
- 22:33Speaker 1: and and let me tell you something right now. Okay, remember,
- 22:37Speaker 1: if you ever fall into a lot of money, remember
- 22:39Speaker 1: your favorite overnight guess bag. I would be a model
- 22:43Speaker 1: employee at a no show job. Okay, I promise you
- 22:46Speaker 1: I will be your number one employee a no show job.
- 22:53Speaker 1: Will you just give me like the Sopranos, just give
- 22:55Speaker 1: me an envelope with cash. I'm good on that. I'm
- 22:58Speaker 1: absolutely good on that. At yep, Let's see what else
- 23:03Speaker 1: do we have here? Not a burner, rights In, says Ben.
- 23:08Speaker 1: In this illustration of NFL players marching to the common
- 23:14Speaker 1: goal of winning the Lombardi Trophy, is it a bad
- 23:16Speaker 1: sign they chose the Bear's punter as their representation. Well,
- 23:22Speaker 1: this is the first I've seen of it. Not a burner.
- 23:24Speaker 1: That is not ideal. You do not want to have
- 23:26Speaker 1: your punter representing your franchise. Generally speaking, that does not
- 23:30Speaker 1: go very well. Big rig Rob rights and says Ben.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Why in the world wouldn't Steve Balmer have a fake
- 23:39Speaker 1: company to move money around? Sounds exactly like what billionaires
- 23:44Speaker 1: would do, or what a billionaire would do unless he didn't.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Excellent hour one monologue, Good job by you, and no
- 23:51Speaker 1: Bill Miller for a bonus. Nature Boy says a couple
- 23:55Speaker 1: of things here. He says, Kawhi is a true botanists
- 24:01Speaker 1: who likes trees. Lay off the dude. Well, I think
- 24:03Speaker 1: a lot of NBA players like trees. If you know
- 24:05Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, But glad to be a tree hugger. Ben.
- 24:09Speaker 5: We love trees, big, tall, strong, sturdy trees.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, I love trees. One of my favorite places
- 24:16Speaker 1: to go is the Giant Forest in Sequoia National Forest
- 24:20Speaker 1: King's Cabin. It's amazing. I love it there. Have you
- 24:22Speaker 1: been to the Redwoods in northern California. I haven't spent
- 24:26Speaker 1: too much time there, but it's the same thing. I mean,
- 24:27Speaker 1: it's the same trees. You could even drive through the trees. Yeah, well,
- 24:32Speaker 1: it's the what's the type of house? Trying to think
- 24:34Speaker 1: of the how there's certain houses in California that are
- 24:37Speaker 1: made log cabins. No, not log cabins, I forget the name,
- 24:43Speaker 1: but they cut down the entire West Coast was filled
- 24:47Speaker 1: with those giant trees and they just chopped almost all
- 24:49Speaker 1: of them down to make these these houses. They used
- 24:53Speaker 1: the lumber for the houses. Real Martin from the airport
- 24:56Speaker 1: in Denver, I think we're very big at the airport
- 24:58Speaker 1: in Denver. From what I hear, we dominate people that
- 25:00Speaker 1: work at the airport in Denver. The Real Martin says,
- 25:02Speaker 1: that's the same Steve Balmer who laugh me off, ble
- 25:05Speaker 1: a hotel near lax That's not the airport in Denver.
- 25:09Speaker 1: Martin says, the same bomber who laughed when Apple released
- 25:12Speaker 1: the first iPhone? Yes, what of the great disasters of business?
- 25:17Speaker 1: A sweaty it must have smelled like total ass. Steve
- 25:21Speaker 1: Balmer there on stage, and just you know who's gonna
- 25:26Speaker 1: want to spend one thousand dollars on a phone? I
- 25:28Speaker 1: don't know everyone. Ryan from San Diego rights and he says,
- 25:34Speaker 1: I see the NBA giving the Clippers a harsh penalty
- 25:37Speaker 1: and forcing them to move to Seattle. You don't say,
- 25:41Speaker 1: do La a favor our gift to Seattle? Bad job
- 25:45Speaker 1: by you, Ryan. The Clippers have a showcase arena right
- 25:49Speaker 1: there in the hood in Ingwood. I think a Lakers
- 25:51Speaker 1: should leave that. They play on skid roll. It is
- 25:54Speaker 1: not safe to go to that arena where the Lakers
- 25:56Speaker 1: plays a total crapple. They gotta leave La. The Lakers
- 25:59Speaker 1: should go back to Minnesota. That's what they should do.
- 26:02Speaker 1: Homeless shoul oh no, No, California loves the homeless absolutely,
- 26:06Speaker 1: a dupe, writes In says to Kawhi got a shady
- 26:09Speaker 1: nil deal. Who could have thunk it? So? So he says,
- 26:14Speaker 1: and if you want to be part of this on
- 26:16Speaker 1: x at Ben Maller, I see Mark the full name
- 26:18Speaker 1: guy ranting and raving like you know, the whack of
- 26:22Speaker 1: doodle that he is complaining about this thing, that thing
- 26:26Speaker 1: and the other thing, and going on and on and on.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Now the follow up, follow up the Kawhi Leonard Malar monologue.
- 26:34Speaker 1: What would the punishment be? What would it be? The
- 26:36Speaker 1: death penalty? Are they? Are they going to have the Clippers,
- 26:39Speaker 1: you know, eliminated from the NBA and play a team
- 26:41Speaker 1: short and no. The NBA's CBA, the Collective Bargaining Agreement,
- 26:46Speaker 1: prohibits teams from those affiliated companies from arranging side money
- 26:53Speaker 1: paying players around the salary cap, circumventing the salary cap.
- 26:57Speaker 1: The punishment for violations can include multi million dollar fines.
- 27:02Speaker 1: You think Steve Balmer, who makes a billion dollars a
- 27:05Speaker 1: year just off the Microsoft dividends, you think he's worried
- 27:09Speaker 1: about that, the loss of draft picks, and the voiding
- 27:13Speaker 1: of contracts. So Kawhi Learn's contract would be voided anyone
- 27:16Speaker 1: else who got I'm sure there's other if they were.
- 27:18Speaker 1: If this is real, and again I'm skeptical, but assuming
- 27:22Speaker 1: in the multiverse there is a dimension where this is
- 27:24Speaker 1: absolutely real, and this happened the way it's being described.
- 27:27Speaker 1: So what happened the way it's being described, And Paul
- 27:29Speaker 1: George likely got some money under the table, right, you'd
- 27:32Speaker 1: go down the list of anybody big that came James Harden,
- 27:34Speaker 1: they all got money under the table if this is
- 27:36Speaker 1: what they were doing. So therefore all those guys would
- 27:40Speaker 1: be voided, and who cares about the fine? And the
- 27:44Speaker 1: Clippers have pretty much traded all their draft picks for
- 27:46Speaker 1: the last ten years anyway, so it's not like they
- 27:48Speaker 1: have any draft picks to trade. Pretty much just gotten
- 27:52Speaker 1: rid of everything. So that's that's the reality on that situation.
- 27:57Speaker 1: At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is the
- 28:01Speaker 1: number eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
- 28:05Speaker 1: If you want to be part of the program, and
- 28:07Speaker 1: we will go to the phone. Let's start out in
- 28:10Speaker 1: the Commonwealth. Will say hello to Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.
- 28:17Speaker 4: Man, it's good to be with you. Thank thanks for
- 28:20Speaker 4: getting me a number of things in NFL kicking off
- 28:24Speaker 4: willis you know, but this situation with the Clippers and
- 28:28Speaker 4: Steve Bomber, this is no red Herring. Ben, Okay, this
- 28:31Speaker 4: is a serious situation, and the reason being, first of all,
- 28:35Speaker 4: I trust the reporting, and you know, where there's smoke,
- 28:38Speaker 4: there's fire. So they're going to have to eventually recognize
- 28:41Speaker 4: that something untore took place at Willis Chimes and you
- 28:45Speaker 4: need to Snacker Rudies. But the situation here is Steve
- 28:49Speaker 4: Bomber is a gold star owner rather than the bad
- 28:54Speaker 4: actor of which Donald Sterling was right. Came in Daddy Warbucks,
- 28:58Speaker 4: richest owner and teams four, right, and then what does
- 29:01Speaker 4: he do. He has the vision, we're gonna get out
- 29:04Speaker 4: from other Staples Center. We're going to build our own arenas.
- 29:06Speaker 4: So he executes it right. So this is what the
- 29:09Speaker 4: NBA is trying to do rit large. This is why
- 29:11Speaker 4: they signed on to the ownership we have here in Boston,
- 29:14Speaker 4: which is more abund as far as I'm concerned, because
- 29:16Speaker 4: they got rid of you Holliday and broke up a dynasty.
- 29:18Speaker 4: But what's this owner talking about, Daddy Warbucks. He's talking
- 29:21Speaker 4: about building a new stadium.
- 29:23Speaker 1: Right.
- 29:23Speaker 4: These modern owners aren't necessarily sports guys, but they're but
- 29:27Speaker 4: they're cast rich that can do these things to benefit
- 29:29Speaker 4: the NBA. So why this is a it's a serious problem.
- 29:33Speaker 4: And Adam Silver frankly hasn't said anything. And it's kind
- 29:36Speaker 4: of scrambling is because you don't want to take five
- 29:39Speaker 4: first round picks away from the clippers. You don't want
- 29:41Speaker 4: to have to penalize the owner of a Steve Bonner.
- 29:43Speaker 4: But they're what they're going to have to because something
- 29:47Speaker 4: untowards the place here.
- 29:49Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're you're assuming it's accurate. I don't. I'm
- 29:54Speaker 1: not there yet. Uh, we'll see what comes out. Plus, uh,
- 29:58Speaker 1: Bomber's got so much money he can and even if
- 30:00Speaker 1: he did do it, he can get out of it.
- 30:02Speaker 1: You know, he can just kind of like move some
- 30:03Speaker 1: stuff around. And isn't that what most rich people do.
- 30:06Speaker 1: They're able to get out of stuff. They can dig
- 30:07Speaker 1: around and all that and what of course. So yeah,
- 30:11Speaker 1: but we'll see what happened. Sorry, I thank you are
- 30:13Speaker 1: the got Andre from the Commonwealth checking in and we'll
- 30:17Speaker 1: keep it going on the phones. That sllo to Eenie
- 30:20Speaker 1: Meanie money mode. Jed who fled. We got to get
- 30:24Speaker 1: him on before he runs away. Hello, Jed who fled?
- 30:27Speaker 6: Well, now he wants to say ball dog baa on

- 30:49Speaker 1: the dog? Is that what you're trying to do.

- 30:54Speaker 6: what's that's that?
- 30:57Speaker 1: Is that why he ended up at He ended up
- 30:59Speaker 1: at Levenworth because he took advice from you?
- 31:00Speaker 6: Is that why I told you? I told you, if
- 31:03Speaker 6: it comes to it, he needs to be a snitch
- 31:05Speaker 6: and the same thing, I'm gonna lined up in the
- 31:06Speaker 6: same thing. But he did not listen to my You know,
- 31:09Speaker 6: I listened to my advice. He I just said, I'm
- 31:11Speaker 6: least tamed the dude and asked, played, because you are,
- 31:13Speaker 6: Michael does not mean you should do you know.
- 31:15Speaker 1: Listen to me?
- 31:16Speaker 6: And he said, oh, you're boy, But I can't. I
- 31:18Speaker 6: couldn't either. Hey, before I before I go hold full

- 31:24Speaker 1: You just got here.
- 31:25Speaker 6: No, I said, before I go full ball on pinball
- 31:27Speaker 6: and you know me too. Yeah, Florida State did Florida State?
- 31:33Speaker 6: Everybody knew.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Was that wholest state?
- 31:34Speaker 6: Not hard knarctic? Or did I imagine you saying you
- 31:36Speaker 6: were going to run across American naked Forest Gump style
- 31:38Speaker 6: if they beat Alabama?
- 31:40Speaker 1: Yeah? I did. Actually I did that. Right after the game.
- 31:42Speaker 1: I started running. I made it all the way across.
- 31:44Speaker 1: I went to Charleston, South Carolina, and then I drove.
- 31:46Speaker 1: I actually flew back. I didn't have to go all
- 31:49Speaker 1: the way back running. I drove back. Yeah.
- 31:52Speaker 6: So I was trying to think of some sort of
- 31:55Speaker 6: bonny Fatou like he has no fans running on empty joke,
- 31:59Speaker 6: and I could not do it. I could not think
- 32:00Speaker 6: of it in the moment. I could not turn it.
- 32:02Speaker 6: How's your how you? How did you bucket the other day?
- 32:05Speaker 6: Just nothing else. Just turn on the podcast each hour
- 32:09Speaker 6: and just let it play in the background, and you
- 32:10Speaker 6: get you get played for the downloads.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think so if you play in the Yeah.
- 32:15Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going to play. I'm going to play in
- 32:17Speaker 6: my speakers, and I mean I'm trying to go.
- 32:18Speaker 1: Although you really you only have to listen to like
- 32:21Speaker 1: a few minutes an hour. I think, I think we
- 32:23Speaker 1: get credited, you know, three minutes, didn't three? It's three? Yeah,
- 32:29Speaker 1: we use them for three minutes, we get credit for
- 32:31Speaker 1: the hour.
- 32:31Speaker 6: So that's exactly who I'm time. You go, I don't
- 32:34Speaker 6: play it. Three minutes is credit enough? That's all?
- 32:36Speaker 4: I mean.
- 32:36Speaker 6: That's a that's a full blocks a plus situation. And
- 32:39Speaker 6: I mean I don't they us They sometimes don't.
- 32:41Speaker 2: Great.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Yeah, are you done? Is that it?
- 32:45Speaker 6: I known't?
- 32:45Speaker 2: Right?
- 32:46Speaker 6: Right right, right ready? That's my new pain I got.
- 32:50Speaker 4: That's my new p That's a that's a cross of
- 32:52Speaker 4: like a Southern when animal dogs took up with their cousins,
- 32:55Speaker 4: they got three yeads.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Dude, I gotta go, all right, thank you? As Jed
- 33:00Speaker 1: who flips es, I'm sure he'll probably call back seven times.
- 33:05Speaker 1: That's normally what happens, So we'll see how that goes. Anyway,
- 33:07Speaker 1: it is the Ben Malers showtime now for the who
- 33:10Speaker 1: Am I?
- 33:11Speaker 4: Game?
- 33:11Speaker 1: This is where I pretend to be somebody else. That's
- 33:13Speaker 1: we call it the who am I? Game? So with
- 33:15Speaker 1: two hundred and one passing yards at Cleveland in Week
- 33:19Speaker 1: one on Sunday, Joe Burrow, who quarterback, he plays with
- 33:23Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Football Team's kind of good. Joe Burrow can
- 33:26Speaker 1: surpass me for the third most passing yards by a
- 33:31Speaker 1: player in his first seventy career games in NFL history,
- 33:36Speaker 1: trailing only Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford. A game Joe
- 33:40Speaker 1: Burrow needs two hundred and one passing yards against the
- 33:43Speaker 1: Browns on Sunday in Week one, and he would surpass
- 33:47Speaker 1: me for the most passing yards by a player in
- 33:51Speaker 1: his first seventy career games in NFL history, trailing only
- 33:53Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and LA Or I am quarterback Matthew Stafford?
