4:04
Speaker 1: So our lead this out. Don't bear the lead, my man,
4:07
Speaker 1: don't pay the lead. We're not gonna bury the lead.
4:09
Speaker 1: We're not gonna bury the lead. We start out with
4:11
Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball. Why are you talking basketball? It's about
4:16
Speaker 1: three percent of the fans of the show, three percent
4:20
Speaker 1: of your fellow listeners, three percent who are out there
4:24
Speaker 1: right now and they need therapy. Why my god, it,
4:27
Speaker 1: Judy's still talking about basketball. It's not right. Well, yeah,
4:33
Speaker 1: all right, Well the story here from the Big Apple,
4:37
Speaker 1: New York, New York, where the NBA held the twenty
4:42
Speaker 1: twenty six draft, and it was all about the top pick,
4:46
Speaker 1: DC bound and down, DC bound and down. Happened on
4:51
Speaker 1: a Tuesday night. You know, it's not a big event
4:52
Speaker 1: if it's on a Tuesday night. So if you didn't
4:54
Speaker 1: watch any of this, I assume you didn't. Why would you.
4:58
Speaker 1: It's the same thing every year, the NBA Draft. Oh
5:03
Speaker 1: my god, I can go on a whole rant about that,
5:04
Speaker 1: but I will not. I will not give you the
5:06
Speaker 1: same tired, played out rant that I've given you for
5:09
Speaker 1: the last many many years. So the Wizards team that
5:14
Speaker 1: solved all of gun violence when they changed their name
5:16
Speaker 1: from the Bullets. Nobody's shooting anyone now that they're called
5:19
Speaker 1: the Wizards. So the Wizards took with the first pick
5:23
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty six NBA Draft, aj de Banza,
5:28
Speaker 1: the top pick in the twenty twenty six draft, a
5:31
Speaker 1: six foot nine freshmen who got a lot of that
5:35
Speaker 1: sweet nectar of the gods that nil money. In Utah.
5:41
Speaker 1: BYU average twenty five and a half points per game
5:44
Speaker 1: as a brief college player. Originally born in Boston. How
5:49
Speaker 1: does a guy from Boston end up in Utah? I
5:52
Speaker 1: don't know, but he did. Played high school ball at
5:55
Speaker 1: a prep school in Utah and then went to BYU,
5:59
Speaker 1: stayed in state, and now he will travel back to
6:02
Speaker 1: the I ninety five corridor to the Washington basketball team,
6:06
Speaker 1: he said of the commander of the commanders of the
6:10
Speaker 1: Wizards selection. He said of playing for Washington, he says,
6:14
Speaker 1: it's just a stepping stone, is what he said of
6:17
Speaker 1: being picked with the top pick in the draft. And
6:20
Speaker 1: of course he talked about all the hard work. Oh
6:22
Speaker 1: my god, such hard work. It's like paving roads in
6:25
Speaker 1: the summer. So that is a good jumping off point,
6:28
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question do you see the Washington
6:33
Speaker 1: Wizards as a stepping stone? In quotes for Aja Devanza,
6:40
Speaker 1: the top pick in the draft. So I've got backstroke,
6:43
Speaker 1: hammock and boogie board, and we will combine all of
6:49
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to avoid the vapors.
6:53
Speaker 1: We're going to try to avoid the vapors because there's
6:55
Speaker 1: a lot of vapors around the team in Washington. The
6:58
Speaker 1: only time we talk about them is about now or
7:01
Speaker 1: if they play the role of the Washington Generals and
7:04
Speaker 1: allow the Miami Heat to sully the record book with
7:10
Speaker 1: that horrific sham eighty plus point game by Bambam maam
7:16
Speaker 1: Autobio there of the Heat. So hey, to answer the
7:18
Speaker 1: question do you see the Wizards as a stepping stone?
7:21
Speaker 1: For aj? The Vanza Poulais would be my response. Listen,
7:27
Speaker 1: you didn't get drafted number one, You got deployed. You
7:33
Speaker 1: were deployed to no man's land. Congratulations, and that's where
7:38
Speaker 1: things go sideways rapidly there. If you're a basketball player.
7:42
Speaker 1: Devanza calling the Wizards a stepping stone, what he actually
7:46
Speaker 1: meant to say? I know what he meant to say.
7:48
Speaker 1: He didn't mean to say that. What he meant to
7:50
Speaker 1: say was Washington is located in the Bermuda Triangle. It's
7:54
Speaker 1: why they call it the swamp. It's the Bermuda Triangle
7:57
Speaker 1: right there of NBA development, a place where talent enters,
8:01
Speaker 1: elite blue chip talent year after year, lottery pick after
8:06
Speaker 1: lottery pick after lottery pick after lottery pick, over and over.
8:10
Speaker 1: They enter there with great hope and it all disappears,
8:14
Speaker 1: and nobody knows what year it is. When they come out,
8:18
Speaker 1: they're dazed and confused, dazed interviews. Let's just keep it
8:23
Speaker 1: real here, we're on overnight. We're not part of the mainstream,
8:26
Speaker 1: So on overnight here. Washington is not a franchise that
8:31
Speaker 1: is playing basketball. They're a navigational hazard, is what the
8:36
Speaker 1: Wizards are. You don't build a career there, you end
8:39
Speaker 1: up filing a missing person's report when you're with the Wizards. Here,
8:44
Speaker 1: the Banza got the he's got the razzle dazzle, or
8:47
Speaker 1: has got the razzle dazzle to him, seen some of
8:49
Speaker 1: the interviews leading up to the draft, and he seems
8:52
Speaker 1: like a pretty good quote, which is what I worry
8:54
Speaker 1: about there. So he's got the possibility of star Power
8:58
Speaker 1: headline their headliner, Aura headliner Aura for aj Demonza and
9:04
Speaker 1: he's the problem is he's swimming the backstroke straight in
9:09
Speaker 1: to the island of broken dreams and he didn't realize
9:12
Speaker 1: it yet. He he's notive enough to think that's gonna
9:15
Speaker 1: be different like every other stooge that's been drafted by
9:17
Speaker 1: that franchise. Oh no, it's gonna be different now. Yeah, okay,
9:22
Speaker 1: that is where the blueprint for the Washington Wizards franchise
9:25
Speaker 1: is written in ink. It's Disappearing Inc. Purchased at the
9:30
Speaker 1: Magic Shop on Main Street, USA at Disneyland. They got
9:33
Speaker 1: that little disappearing ink thing, and that's what they do here.
9:35
Speaker 1: Some franchise franchises are elevators. You go there and your
9:40
Speaker 1: stalk goes up, and some are escalators, and the Wizards
9:46
Speaker 1: are a stalled escalator. And there's a sign it's taped
9:50
Speaker 1: to the side there. It says use at your own risk,
9:53
Speaker 1: is what it says. Use at your own risk. The
9:56
Speaker 1: Wizards won an NBA title. Believe it or not, they
10:00
Speaker 1: they did win a title nineteen seventy eight. That was
10:04
Speaker 1: when they were called the Bullets. Yeah, the Bullets. That's
10:08
Speaker 1: a name, right, Wizards kind of weak bullets, that's a name. So,
10:12
Speaker 1: and they have not won fifty games, the Wizards since
10:16
Speaker 1: what year, nineteen seventy nine? Yeah, do the math on
10:23
Speaker 1: that we're closing in. We're not far away from fifty
10:26
Speaker 1: years since they won fifty games. And that was also
10:29
Speaker 1: the last time they so much as even smelled the
10:33
Speaker 1: conference finals as she did reach the conference finals. I
10:36
Speaker 1: believe in nineteen seventy nine that was the last time.
10:39
Speaker 1: So Washington has been rebuilding so long. How long have
10:43
Speaker 1: they been rebuilding that the construction crew that started on
10:47
Speaker 1: the rebuild has now retired and they are having the
10:51
Speaker 1: Early Bird Special. They're playing a shuffle board and checkers,
10:56
Speaker 1: and they're all retired. Now, all those construction workers that
11:00
Speaker 1: were on the rebuild, they're all they're all gone, all
11:02
Speaker 1: right now. Page two, continuing the theme of the hour,
11:06
Speaker 1: the Draft of Palooza pro bouncy ball style. So Darren
11:09
Speaker 1: Peterson was selected by the Utah Jazz with the number
11:15
Speaker 1: two overall pick. Now, this is a player we did
11:21
Speaker 1: talk about during his time at Kansas, A highly controversial
11:25
Speaker 1: player touted as a top notch prospect. As you know,
11:29
Speaker 1: a prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise. So Peterson
11:34
Speaker 1: drafted out of Kansas, he played his freshman season there
11:36
Speaker 1: and that's it. Six to five combo guard and he
11:39
Speaker 1: goes to Utah. Now, the reason I'm bringing this up
11:41
Speaker 1: following the pick, DeMarcus Cousins not one of the more
11:47
Speaker 1: likable people in pro basketball. DeMarcus Cousins, who's somebody's paying
11:51
Speaker 1: him to give opinions? Imagine that. DeMarcus Cousins said he
11:56
Speaker 1: sees quote flashes of Kobe in Darren Peterson. Say what,
12:03
Speaker 1: let me repeat that for those of who you are
12:04
Speaker 1: not paying attention. DeMarcus Cousins to play a long time
12:07
Speaker 1: in the NBA. He's fully vested in the NBA's pension program.
12:11
Speaker 1: He said he sees flashes of Kobe in Darren Peterson,
12:15
Speaker 1: specifically his scoring mentality, his shot creation, and competitive edge,
12:21
Speaker 1: the things that defined Kobe Bean Brian and I don't
12:26
Speaker 1: know about his uncle Chubby Cox, Certainly Kobe was defined
12:30
Speaker 1: by those things. He called him super talented and highlighted
12:36
Speaker 1: all the things he said are similar to Kobe Bryant.
12:39
Speaker 1: So that seems like a pretty interesting thing to say.
12:41
Speaker 1: And so let's use that as a jumping off point
12:45
Speaker 1: the question DeMarcus Cousins comparing Jazz number two overall pick
12:52
Speaker 1: Darren Peterson to Kobe Bean Bryant. Does that hold water?
12:58
Speaker 1: Does that whole water? So this is next level capital
13:03
Speaker 1: B buffoonery. Next level buffoonery. Is comparing him to Kobe
13:11
Speaker 1: is unfair to Kobe. Cousins must have watched something else.
13:17
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been on some some bath salts.
13:20
Speaker 1: Who knows what he was. I don't know what he's doing.
13:23
Speaker 1: It is a different sport. I'm not exactly sure. It's
13:26
Speaker 1: it's very bizarre. Kobe Bryant was forged in a volcano
13:31
Speaker 1: back in his day, and then you've got Darren Peterson,
13:34
Speaker 1: who was forged in a hammock. Slightly different, slightly different pedigree,
13:39
Speaker 1: slightly different pedigree. Kobe checked into games injured regularly. Peterson
13:44
Speaker 1: checks out of games when he's winded. He might need
13:48
Speaker 1: some new socks because there's a little sweat socks, so
13:50
Speaker 1: he has to come out of the game for that.
13:52
Speaker 1: Kobe brought the mamba mentality to the NBA, while Peterson
13:56
Speaker 1: brought bones. Lazy bones is what he brings to the NBA.
14:02
Speaker 1: Kobe Ooh's competitiveness all about that. Peterson just oozes what
14:11
Speaker 1: does he use? Disinterest whatever you fill in the blank
14:14
Speaker 1: on that, filling blank on that. But this is the whammy,
14:18
Speaker 1: This is the hecks, this is the curse snake bit,
14:21
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say, Cousins put up a billboard
14:26
Speaker 1: of expectations on a kid who hasn't even hit the
14:30
Speaker 1: local watering hole. Now, you know, if you want to
14:32
Speaker 1: get hammered in Salt Lake. My friends in Utah they
14:35
Speaker 1: know this. There's one bar that serves really powerful chocolate milk,
14:40
Speaker 1: and it's so naughty in Utah to drink chocolate milk
14:44
Speaker 1: that Peterson, watch out, just absolutely watch out there when
14:49
Speaker 1: you go down to that local speakeasy. And they even
14:52
Speaker 1: have strawberry milk there too. They are real rebels there
14:54
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake, really going for it. Now. Peterson is
14:58
Speaker 1: already walking into a buzz saw of hype, at least
15:03
Speaker 1: by DeMarcus Cousins standards and good luck there, Boogie Cousins
15:10
Speaker 1: of all people playing talent scout and cooking up really
15:16
Speaker 1: horrifically bad comparisons which make for good talk radio. So
15:20
Speaker 1: I'm not upset. I'm just happy that he he so
15:22
Speaker 1: outrageously misses the mark that that's what we got. Now
15:25
Speaker 1: the last word here keeping the beat going of outrageous comps,
15:30
Speaker 1: which is the time of the year we're in. So
15:32
Speaker 1: Caleb Wilson, who Caleb Wilson, who is listed as a
15:37
Speaker 1: forward from North Carolina, the Carolina Blue. So Wilson was
15:44
Speaker 1: selected with the number four peck in the draft right there,
15:49
Speaker 1: the number four pick, number four the Chicago Bulls. And
15:54
Speaker 1: while DeMarcus Cousins, as we just said, gave Darren Peterson
15:59
Speaker 1: a comp of Kobe Bryant, Caleb Wilson did not get
16:03
Speaker 1: that same comp from DeMarcus Cousins. He decided to try
16:07
Speaker 1: to one up Boogie Cousins, and he said, hey, hold
16:12
Speaker 1: my light beer. Hold my light beer. Because moments after
16:17
Speaker 1: being drafted Caleb William Wilson, Caleb Wilson, pick of the
16:20
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls, said quote, I want to be the greatest
16:26
Speaker 1: of all time. Y'all got one of the goats in
16:29
Speaker 1: y'all history, so it's time for another one, clearly alluding
16:35
Speaker 1: to Michael Jeffrey Jordan. Okay. He also shared, or someone
16:41
Speaker 1: who works for him, shared an old photo of himself
16:44
Speaker 1: wearing a Chicago Bulls outfit claiming to show a long
16:49
Speaker 1: standing fandom for the Chicago Bulls. So the question, should
16:54
Speaker 1: Chicago fans my guys, Ya, Fomi and Tree in Chicago
16:59
Speaker 1: and all the boys they're listening on a regular basis
17:02
Speaker 1: in the Windy City? Should Chicago fans love the swagger
17:06
Speaker 1: it's such swagger, it's like a dagger or of Caleb Wilson,
17:11
Speaker 1: or fear fear that same swagger? So should the Chicago
17:17
Speaker 1: fan love the swagger of Caleb Wilson or fear the swagger?
17:23
Speaker 1: So the answer is neither. The answer is neither. Windy
17:27
Speaker 1: City patrons of professional basketball should not fear Caleb wilson swagger.
17:34
Speaker 1: They should laugh at it. Ha ha, It's what they
17:37
Speaker 1: should do. They should weaponize it and turn it into content.
17:42
Speaker 1: Isn't that what all the kids are doing now? It's content,
17:44
Speaker 1: is what it is. And so he's out there talking
17:47
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be in the same class as Michael Jordan.
17:52
Speaker 1: And yet this is how crazy time flies if you're
17:55
Speaker 1: of a certain age. Is it true that Caleb Wilson
17:59
Speaker 1: wasn't e alive when Jordan was playing forgetting for the Bulls?
18:04
Speaker 1: Even the Washington Wizards at the end of his career. Sow.
18:08
Speaker 1: Time moves on, so forget the Bulls dynasty. He wasn't
18:12
Speaker 1: even alive when Jordan was playing washed up at the
18:14
Speaker 1: end for the Wizards, and so he's got the swagger now.
18:18
Speaker 1: It is very premature. It's so premature the swagger that
18:24
Speaker 1: it should be accompanied by a doctor's note. There should
18:26
Speaker 1: be a doctor's note that hey, listen, Caleb Wilson is
18:31
Speaker 1: a product of his environment, right the generation that he's in,
18:35
Speaker 1: and he has been raised with bold proclamations, so that's
18:40
Speaker 1: what he knows. And myth making begins not necessarily at birth,
18:44
Speaker 1: but the first time you get a social media channel,
18:47
Speaker 1: that's when that begins right there. And he's not really
18:49
Speaker 1: walking into Chicago per se. He's grabbed his boogey board
18:54
Speaker 1: and for some reason he grabb a biggiy board, not
18:56
Speaker 1: a surfboard, and he's swaggersurfing into the city. And that's
19:01
Speaker 1: it because they haven't won a title since nineteen ninety eight,
19:04
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls eight years before, eight years before, he
19:09
Speaker 1: was drawing his first breath on this mortal coil. He
19:12
Speaker 1: wasn't even live yet, so wasn't alive for Jordan obviously
19:16
Speaker 1: wasn't alive for the glory days of the Bulls, who
19:18
Speaker 1: are coming up not far away from the thirtieth anniversary
19:22
Speaker 1: of their last NBA championship. So back in the day,
19:25
Speaker 1: we always love back in the day. Back in the day,
19:28
Speaker 1: the rule was walk so softly, carry a big stick.
19:31
Speaker 1: Wilson's out here stomping very loudly and carrying not a stick.
19:36
Speaker 1: He's got a ring light because you gotta have that
19:39
Speaker 1: good lighting. You gotta have that ring light. And why not.
19:41
Speaker 1: It's branding before achievement, is what it is, That the
19:46
Speaker 1: natural byproduct of being raised by the third parent, the algorithm,
19:53
Speaker 1: the algorithm. So we all know he's not getting anywhere
19:57
Speaker 1: close to touching Michael Jordan's toe. That's not going to happen.
20:01
Speaker 1: He's not going to even touch MJ's old laundry hamper
20:05
Speaker 1: in Chicago. He's not MJ. Kavin Wilson's not Scottie Pippen.
20:10
Speaker 1: He's not even Randy Brown, for God's sakes. Maybe Bill Wennington,
20:13
Speaker 1: possibly Bill Wennington, not Randy Brown. However, he is entertained.
20:17
Speaker 1: Those are just old guy basketball references. By the way,
20:19
Speaker 1: one of those names I don't know who Bill Wennington
20:22
Speaker 1: is or Luke Longley or I don't know, but Randy
20:24
Speaker 1: Brown just old guy basketball names. That's it. That's it.
20:29
Speaker 1: So we'll see how this plays out. Just remember, though,
20:30
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's gonna shock you. When Michael Jordan entered the NBA,
20:35
Speaker 1: there was a story written about how bummed out the
20:38
Speaker 1: Bulls were because they wanted his draft a center. They
20:41
Speaker 1: wanted Sam Bowie or Hakeem Elijah want I believe was
20:45
Speaker 1: that draft, and they ended up having to settle for
20:47
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan. But Jordan did not make any bold proclamations.
20:51
Speaker 1: He didn't say, hey, I'm the greatest of all time.
20:53
Speaker 1: He didn't do the whole lebron thing and you know,
20:55
Speaker 1: pull a muscle while he was navel gazing. He didn't
20:58
Speaker 1: do that. He just made the opposition disappear and Wilson
21:03
Speaker 1: making some declarations why not, this is his world and
21:08
Speaker 1: we'll see those will of course not disappear anytime soon.

Speaker 2: field of sixty four this year.
31:46
Speaker 1: The ping of. College baseball they did not get. It
31:49
Speaker 1: done and what. A, shame no what.
31:50
Speaker 2: A shame but the Reason why i'm calling is is
31:53
Speaker 2: because This whole soresby situation WITH the nfl not holding
31:59
Speaker 2: the d aft for him and stuff. Like that so
32:03
Speaker 2: anyway here they're denying. His APPLICATION, at lsu we had
32:08
Speaker 2: a wide receiver that now plays For the patriots and
32:12
Speaker 2: his last Name. Was boute do you Remember what bote
32:16
Speaker 2: got in trouble with when he WAS.
32:18
Speaker 1: At, LSU well i am a Fan, of boute as, you, Say,
32:22
Speaker 1: SO no. I don't i. Don't remembers the gambling was a.
32:24
Speaker 2: Gambleuse gambling, oh well OF course lsu shoved it under
32:28
Speaker 2: the rug over five hundred thousand dollars in sports.
32:32
Speaker 1: Betting problems you can.
32:34
Speaker 2: Google it the whole. Story's there but OF course lsu
32:39
Speaker 2: didn't Want, the advocate the local paper to write stories,
32:43
Speaker 2: about it and so they threatened the local paper to
32:47
Speaker 2: yanke their.
32:48
Speaker 1: Media, credentials okay so what.
32:51
Speaker 2: Do you what are your papers wrote?
32:54
Speaker 1: About, it well what are you? Getting at are, You
32:56
Speaker 1: saying jason THAT the nfl is going to lose a
32:58
Speaker 1: loss because they're going to get most likely are you
33:01
Speaker 1: saying they're going to lose a lawsuit Here and soresby's
33:03
Speaker 1: going to be able. TO play i just.
33:04
Speaker 2: Think the whole thing. Is hypocritical How is blute even allowed.
33:08
Speaker 3: To play receive FOR?
33:10
Speaker 1: The nfl this guy made.
33:11
Speaker 2: Over five hundred thousand dollars, in, bets yeah on sports
33:16
Speaker 2: when he WAS. At lsu compromised the integrity of.
33:21
Speaker 1: THESE games i. Hear YOU the nfl, Will, say okay
33:24
Speaker 1: that's a. Wide receiver the quarterback is the one that
33:27
Speaker 1: if a guy's going to fix, a game they're going
33:29
Speaker 1: to get. The quarterback that's their argument, Would, be hey that's.
33:34
Speaker 1: That's different you can be a wide receiver and you
33:36
Speaker 1: maybe get. The pass the ball's thrown your way seven
33:39
Speaker 1: or eight times a game if, you're lucky and if you're,
33:42
Speaker 1: a quarterback you touch the ball every single, offensive snap
33:45
Speaker 1: sixty seventy snaps. A game you're touching. The ball so
33:48
Speaker 1: that's what they. Would argue, what right.
33:51
Speaker 2: A wide receiver can't? Fumble, intentionally no that would.
33:56
Speaker 1: As, he could but the chances are much greater if if,
33:59
Speaker 1: You listen if you were a wise GUY and, i,
34:02
Speaker 1: said listen we, gotta fix we. GOTTA fix i, Don't
34:05
Speaker 1: know packers game in. Week seven who do you think
34:09
Speaker 1: you're going to try to pay off to be able
34:10
Speaker 1: to fix? That game who's what are you gonna get
34:12
Speaker 1: the most bang for? Your buck a wide receiver or the?
34:15
Speaker 2: Quarterback CREW so i guess apparently what he was betting
34:20
Speaker 2: on mostly was, prop bets the over under on his
34:24
Speaker 2: own amounts of catches and things.
34:27
Speaker 1: Like, that, yeah, well listen can you make the argument
34:32
Speaker 1: you say WITH the nfl.
34:33
Speaker 2: With the integrity of.
34:34
Speaker 1: The game, oh yeah well, EITHER way i got you.
