• 2:02
  Speaker 2: dot com the way tirebuying show.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Me.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: So our lead this hour, our lead. This hour is
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: from pro bouncy ball, not college basketball.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Pro bouncyball.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: College basketball does not begin until later on, so we
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: can talk about.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The pro game. And why not? Why not?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Because the story of stories here and it's been bouncing around.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: It's it's like a boomerang.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: The story started a couple of weeks ago, it died out,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and it's come back around.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It's like a Haley's Comments story. It bounced back.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: So as we inch closer to the end of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: regular season, in the end b A as I've often
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: pointed out, the better stories in the losing locker room
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and that locker room we're going to focus in right
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: now would be the Grand Canyon State that is the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: home of one pro bouncy ball team. They call themselves
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the Suns, but they haven't been very bright so far
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: this season, if you've not been paying attention. Now, a
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: lot of chatter, and I love chatter. I'm in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: chatter business. So there's been a lot of chatter that
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the Phoenix Pro basketball team is considering handing the guillotine
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to their head coach, Mike Budenhozer, who had gotten it
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: done in Milwaukee a couple years ago and has been
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: relatively successful as a head coach in the different places
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: that he's been. He's a journeyman head coach, and that
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: he's going to get the old guillotine as a way
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to please KD and Devin Booker, who are said to
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: be grumbling, rumbling and grumbling and stumbling. Now, despite the
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: very high expectations, the anticipation with Bradley Beal, Devin Booker
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and Kevin Durant that the Suns were going to reign
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: supreme over the NBA, well obviously that hasn't happened. They
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: are not only a basketball team, they suck a man
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: it's just a miserable season. So let us discuss the
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: question with all the buzz, the buzz that the Sons
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: could fire Mike Budenholzer their coach in the offseason to
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: appease Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Is this a yes,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: no or maybe so situation? So I have medallion, seagull
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and honorary Mayor, and we will combine all of these
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: things together, and we are going to make a cactus,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and we're going to sit on the cactus, which is
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: more enjoyable than watching the Phoenix Suns play basketball.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So the answer.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Nu Barr said, Nambar.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Number one.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So the answer is maybe so. Now my answer is no.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: But the real answer we deal in the real world,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: not the fake world. We do the real heavy lifting
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: here in overnight sports radio and in the real world where.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I talk in.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: The answer is maybe so. It should be no. Mike
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Budenholzer is not the issue. Is he the greatest coach
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: on God's Green Earth?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: No? Is he the worst coach? No? He's all right.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He's a serviceable head coach in the NBA. He's not
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the reason the Sun's blow chunks. That's not why. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and I understand coaches are like disposable razors, easily replaceable, easily.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Replaced by I get that.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Nevertheless, the Phoenix Suns have made it a regular occurrence
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to get rid of coach. It is a revolving door situation,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and they've had instability and ownership. They've kept getting rid
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of coaches. But you certainly don't get rid of a coach.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: If the reporting is accurate. They're saying, well, slim Reaper's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: not happy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: What d damn do? Okay?
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: If you do that, if you're getting rid of the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: coach to make Kevin Durant happy, you might as well
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: keep the coach. Because Kevin Durant, if you look at
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: his resume as a great player in the NBA, he
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: also wears this gold chain. And on that gold chain,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the very end of that gold chain wrapping around his neck, there.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: You have the medallion.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And on that medallion is a piece of kryptonite, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: his kryptonite is the coach. If you go through the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: coaches that Kevin Durant has played for over the recent
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: stretch of his career, has we've got Steve nash on there,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Monty Williams, Mike Budenhozer, and the beat goes.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: On and on and on and on.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: And KD always gets a mulligan. He always escapes the blame.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's it's well, it's not his fault, it's you know,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: this guy's fault. But the finger of blame goes to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: the coach. But yet the common denominator in all of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: those situations is Kevin Durant, mister all everything and all that.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And the Sons have this, from my perspective, having watched
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a few of the Suns games this year, they have
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: this highly contagious situation. Venomous. It's a venomous situation. It's
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: an infectious disease. It is my diagnosis. The Sons are
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: suffering from IDG a F. I don't give a f. Now,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter whether you are a pro bounce ball player,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: whether you're a talk to your host, whether you're a
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: trash man, a security guard. If you suffer from this
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: contagious disease at whatever you do in life, whatever your
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: life's work is, and you suffer from I don't give
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: an f. You're going to be bad at your job.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: That's just the reality of the situation. And listen, I've
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: worked with a lot of people over the years in
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: this business that don't They just don't put the work
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: in and it shows. And in pro bouncy ball, there
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: are things there that really really.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Make you look just horrific.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Uh, if you have the disease of I I don't
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: give an F, yeah, it's not good. And you look
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: at the core of the suns, the superstars who are
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: all making big time money, they've had big time money
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: for a long time. They don't do a lot of
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: those hustle plays. They don't draw a lot of charges.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: There's not a lot of deflections on defense because that
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: takes effort. And if you have I don't give an F,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you don't do a lot of They don't recover a
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: lot of loose balls because again, that's an effort play.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: So you do the bare minimum and you just look terrible.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: And it's those little things within the margins that separate
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: you from being good and reaching your full level of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: ability and not reaching your full level ability. And last
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I checked, I might be wrong with this. I don't
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: believe this is aau ball like, no coach is going
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: to be able to motivate you at the professional level.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It's not raw raw stuff.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: That's not how it works if you don't have the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: inner fire, because again you're suffering from aid. GFF almost
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: said it. Then then you got problems and it doesn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: matter all right now page two, So we have grumbling
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: out a big deed.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Did you see this, PJ. Washington, that's a pro bouncy
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: ball player. People. PJ.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Washington says that the Mavericks players are sick and tired.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: They're sick and tired of the Maverick fan base chanting
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: fier Nko, fier nico.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Just like that.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: It's been NonStop since it wasn't a trade that Mavericks
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: just decided to hand Luka don Sick to the Lakers
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and said here, you're gonna have them, and so ever
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: since then, it's been a constant undercurrent of fire Nico
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Homeman road.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: And so finally PJ.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Washington snapped, He confronted someone says tired, you know, sick
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and tire.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: The whole team is of this.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: So question for the esteem, Pa, do you have empathy
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: for the plight of PJ. Washington and the Dallas Mavericks
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: players who are complaining about the constant soundtrack of their
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: season being fire Nico, do you have empathy? So I'll
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: go first. I'm shaking my head. No, I do not
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: have any empathy here. We're talking about high crimes and misdemeanors.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Here. This is actually a felony. This is a felon.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: It's not a Misdemeanor's a felony, and it is an
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: absolute dereliction of duties. And it is completely justified by
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the Dallas Mavericks supporters.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And if it didn't happen, that would be a problem.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Now, in the big picture, if you look around here,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: it's actually a good thing. I'll explain why in a second.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: But what happened with Nico Harrison is the what I
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: call the sea goal approach. Now, what is the sea
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: goal approach, the seagull approach is Nico Harrison swooped in
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: and actually made things worse. Now, a lot of bosses
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: do that. I've had some over the years that have
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: done the same thing. They make a situation that is
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: not great and they come in there with their wisdom
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and somehow eff it up even more. And that's what
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Nico Harrison did. He also allowed the ownership signed off
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: on it, so it's on multiple levels. No, you say,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Nico Harrison traded them, but you don't trade your your
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: franchise player without ownership.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Saying okay seems like a good idea. Why not.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I still believe some of the conspiracy stuff will come out,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: whether it was the league office for television, whether it
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: was the ownership of the Mavericks trying to sandbag the
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: franchise to move to Vegas. I tend to believe that
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: some of that stuff is true. It'll come out at
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: some point, somebody to write a book. It'll all come
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: out down the line. But the Maverick players are caught
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: in the crossfire. It's collateral damage from the seagull approach
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of Nico Harrison and the ownership there. But it's actually
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: good in the big picture. And here's why, let me
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: make my elevator pitch why it's good. Having worked around
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: the sports game and talk to enough people in the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: business over the years, the fact that the Maverick fan
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: base is up in arms and they've got their pitchforks
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: and their torches out, and they're doing mock funerals and
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the whole thing. That is a good thing because it's
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a passion play and you want that because you care
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: it matters. Right, You're in Dallas listening to me right now,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and you're hurt by the fact the team's going to
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: suck for the next ten years of your life because
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: of this trade and not a giveaway, not a trade, and.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So you're bothered by that. It means something to you.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: And the moment that becomes a bigger problem is when
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: people stop caring.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: And that's when the dreaded a word takes over. Apathy.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: That is the death of professional sports. Apathy. People don't care.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And when apathy sets in, you might as well bring
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: back Dick Matta, who I think is still alive by
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: the way, he's got to be in his nineties. Guy,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's got to be in his night Dick Motta,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: who's coached. I mean I was like a teenager covering
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: the NBA and Dick Mottter was coaching in the NBA
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and he was really f and old. And now I'm
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: getting old, so he's got to be old. And you know,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: bring back like pop Eye Jones and Lucius Harris and
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: some of those great iconic maverick players of the nineties
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and bring them back all right now.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Final point.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: So we had a viral moment at the Knicks game
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden, Midtown, Manhattan. Now, I happen to
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: be watching this game because it was the only game
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: in the early television window, and I like to have
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: a game on. I couldn't find a baseball game. Not
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: a lot of spring training TV broadcasts this year, and
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: of course the regular season is starting in a couple
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: hours from now in Tokyo. So I was watching the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Knicks in the heat and I'll settling in and of
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: course I saw our friend of the show, Kenny Albert,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: the filled in play by play guy the Knicks, So
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I was happy to see Kenny Albert. And then I
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: saw Walt Clyde Fraser and Walt Fraser had I was
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: watching the MSG feed and Walt Fraser had this ridiculous
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Saint Patti's Day outfit. Nobody dresses as debonair as as
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Walt Fraser.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: So it was great. It was great seeing that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: And so I'm watching the game, and early on, the
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Heat played pretty well in the first half, and then
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: at some point right after halftime, the Heat realized where
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the Miami Heat and were not good, and then they
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: sucked and they were terrible from that by floor, But
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: there was a moment where the game was delayed and
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: they didn't really say what had happened. They said there
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: was a medical situation on the court, and they didn't
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: say what had happened. And I didn't really pay much
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: attention to it. And then I started getting these messages.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: On my phone. Did you hear what happened? Well, I'm
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: watching the game, and he.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Said some medical situation, But you know, I didn't really
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: see what happened. And so it turns out that comedian
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan caused about a ten to fifteen minute to
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: lay in an NBA game on Monday night because Tracy
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Morgan and upchucked. He rode the vomit comet all over
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the floor right at mid court, sitting in that celebrity
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: row at Madison Square Garden. And there is a viral photo.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: You talk about art in photography, Ansel Adams has nothing
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: on whoever took this photo of the man, the myth,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: the legend, Tracy Morgan at the point of explosion, when
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: he is leaning over and he is vomiting, the stream
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: of yellow goo coming out of the man's mouth, and
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: it was captured right in the act. It's like the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Zebruder film. It's unbelievable the artwork that is in that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: particular photo, and check it out. Even Blind Scott's impressed
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: by that, and Inkoad Terror and Blind Emmett. There was
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: so much puke that came out of this guy's stomach.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: There was literally the pavement pizzas some people call it,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: was all over the place that it actually splashed and
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: cascaded onto the court if you can imagine, it was
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like the great flood of Madison Square Garden and on
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: the playing floor. The game was halted for several minutes.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I estimated ten to fifteen minutes. There were a bunch
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: of people trying to clean it up. So you had
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: people it was like a Vaudvillian act. You had people
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: trying to clean up the puke. You also had other
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: people trying to attend to Tracy Morgan and he's in
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: his mid fifties. He vomited so much as nose started
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: bleeding and he was taken away and in some social
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: media critics or upset that people were having an absolute
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: field day with this particular story. It's not every day
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that a well known celebrity delays an NBA game. It
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: just happens to be I don't know on Saint Patrick's
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Day where the guy puked all over the court. And
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: so I asked the question, goofing on Tracy Morgan and
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: his reversal of fortune at the Knickerbocker game with the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Miami Heat. Is that fair or foul? So after a
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: booth review, we have determined it is a fair ball.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: It is a fair ball to me. This is not
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: this deep. It's not that deep. Tracy Morgan, last I checked,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: is a comedian. This is the kind of stuff that
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan would tell jokes about. So if you're a
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: comedian and you're sitting there at Celebrity Row and you
• 17:32

  Speaker 2: McNabb and.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: The Super Bowl for the Philadelphia Eagles years ago. You
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: remember that name.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Donovan mcnabby famously puked during the Super Bowl. It's a
• 18:04

• 21:46
  Speaker 2: right fast and furious. I believe believe I'm right on that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Who else do I have?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Page dan? I can't read that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: On the air, I did see a message of trying

  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's just actually in his title in Hollywood,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: random white actor Jim Carrey right there.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I think I was gonna say Steve Carrell for me,
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and I was like, that's not the.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Right Well he was Steve Carrell before, but he was
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: before the end. Jim Carries Yeah, Jim Carrey before the Internet. Man,
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: he was in like massive, massive movie.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: He has that video with fifty cent. I think he's like, what, yeah,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: there's a video with him in fifty cent and he's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: like partying with fifty cent and he's.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, oh, yeah, I've seen that video yet I know
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: what you're I have no idea what you're talking.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: He's like in the club. Yeah, he got up and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: like started rapping to the audience.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I think he's like high off cooker something like that.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Well he might be acting, but who knows. I don't know.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it is the Ben Maler Showlet's go to the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: phones and we'll go to Andre, who is in the Commonwealth.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Andre a two man show. Well, it's a.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: One man show with his dog and Willis. Of course,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Hello Andre, Welcome, Hello Ben.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: It's good to be with you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: Listen, Willis is not going to be chiming in on
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: he's going to be before long. Most certainly, we got
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: a little windstorm rain coming in here in the Commonwealth,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: you know, so that willis you know, we can't get
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: out and move around a bit. He's got to be
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: uncreed down for the time being. But Ben, listen, Aaron Rodgers,
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: he wants to wait for the draft. How about the beginning?
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: How about July in August? Okay, how about we wait
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: until the beginning the next NFL season before a team
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: makes the decision whether or not to bring him in.
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: I think this should be a long proud I don't
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: think the Steelers should be hamstringing themselves by leaning so
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: far in that direction instead of keeping the options open.
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: So far as Aaron Rodgers goes, I don't understand what
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: the big emphasis is when he's not long for the
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: NFL and the NFL stands for not for long as
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: it is. But he only has another year or two left.
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: So for me one, shame on you, Ben, for me twice,
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: shame on me. Do you think Aaron Rodgers is going
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: to have an epiphany and it's very last season in
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: the NFL and all of a sudden be a team
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: first guy that puts himself behind the interest of the
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: other players in the organization, I.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Think not No, But but to just follow up, do
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I think that's gonna happen?
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: No?
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: But does the Pittsburgh Steelers think that he's a better
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: option than washed up Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it doesn't matter. Yeah, I would tend to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: agree with you.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: The odds are against, obviously, the odds against Aaron Rodgers
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: going to Pittsburgh and dominating or going to Minnesota. It
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: has happened though, where guys at the end of their
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: career that one last gasp of success ass and then
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: they fade away.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And that's what they're betting on.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: So it as long as he can get one of
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: those teams to do it, and they're all apparently waiting.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: None of them have made a move.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: The Vikings haven't come out and said we don't want
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, even though the Giants are bringing in quarterbacks,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: they haven't signed anyone of note. And the Steelers they
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: got nothing. They apparently have no other options other than
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: Aaron rodg unless they draft somebody and then maybe they'll
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: Man, they can wait until rapture.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: As far as when is that going to be? Do
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: we have a date on the rapture? Do we know
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: when that's going to be?
• 26:32
  Speaker 5: I don't know, right, keep just keep your fingers crossed, okay,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: and just to keep after it, because again, you don't
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: you don't become more open minded and progressive with age
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: and become more conservative and built and you know, locked
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: in on what you've been from the beginning. So yeah,
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers, he's incredibly talented. It's going to be a
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: good show to start. But as soon as the first
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: time of trouble comes, he's out and he's going in
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: his own direction to be there with Pat mcatheones podcast
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: to be building up Brent. That's what's gonna happen. So
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: you know that's what you're looking for. You know, four
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: or five good games, but in a first sign of trouble,
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: Aaron's going his own direction and the rest of you guys,
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: good luck. So I was first cousins is a good
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: opportunity or grow your own, get a young prospect and
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: bring him into your system. That's what I'm saying for
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: me and Willis Bence. I always appreciate it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Thanks taking all right, stay dry, little rain going through
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the Commonwealth there, according to our weather guy Andre in
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the Commonwealth. So my favorite part of the story from
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: this Tracy Morgan, comedian writing the vomit comment at Madison
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Square Garden and.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Don't know exactly what happened there.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Tend to think maybe something related to Saint Patrick's day
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and Tracy said some some issues here.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: So Tracy Morgan very funny man.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: And in fact, I was telling Coop a story about
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan our our friend Jay Moore, who used to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: be one of our talk shows.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Here. Jay was at I think it was the Saturday
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: Night Live.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Reunion thing in New York and Jay was on Saturday Night.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: He was at this big party, they had the anniversary,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: like the fiftieth anniversary whatever party. So Jay's at this
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: thing and he told the story on social media. He
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: ran into Tracy Morgan and Jay introduced his wife, the
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan, a lifelong Knicks fan and all that, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Jay I'm paraphrasing here, but Jay said something. Well Jon
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Jay had said like, hey, she does works for the Lakers,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: and Tracy Morgan's like, hey does she.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Is your cheerleader?
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: And Jay's married to the the owner of the Lakers,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Genie Buss, and so it was kind of a it's.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: A funny story.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: But my favorite part of the story the one of
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: the I guess it's equipment managers for the Knickerbockers was
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: caught on camera as all of this is going down,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the game's delayed.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I'm Scott Foster.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I believe it was the referee that went over to
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: talk to the equipment person for the Knickerbockers, and the
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: equipment manager for the Knickerboxers informed Scott Foster as there
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: is vomit rolling onto the court at.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: The NBA game.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: The equipment manager tells the referee, we don't have a mop.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: We don't have a mop was the quote, as right
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: there courtside, puky puky pukey, And the game was delayed.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: And so if you how do you not have a mop?
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: And you can't exactly go out in midtown Manhattan and
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: go to like Tractor Supply or go to go to
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Low's or Home Depot or whatever and buy you can't
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: buy a mop.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I mean they'll sell There's not a loot of mops
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: in Mantan. So it was pretty funny.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: So they'd use I think the towel method, and imagine
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: having to wash those towels and you put gloves on
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: when you're cleaning up the vomit, Like, what's the what's
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: the move.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: On that man? Good lip reading? Good?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: There are there's a cottage industry in lip reading. Solid,
• 30:14

  Speaker 6: and shoot a thirty foot up, you know I was.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: I was fascinating.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Well, we know, we know, Danny DeVito. That's that's like
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: the modern way to play basketball. Your local team there,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the Boston Celtics, they they will have a three on
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: one fast break and they will kick it back out
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: to someone thirty five feet away to shoot a three
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: point shot rather than get a layup.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: It's fascinating.
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: Well, at least at lease bost to play defense. They
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: play some team, you know team.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: But they don't play if they don't play physical. The
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Celtics don't play physical basketball.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Though. You can't.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: There's no way you can play physical basketball when you're
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a Papa shot team.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: You can't be physical.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: If your entire model is to shoot thirty foot jump shots,
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: you can't be Well, well, you.
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: Know who's gonna win. If they haven't met in the finals,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: you would know who's gonna win that series, though, right, Phoenix.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Some Boston pho.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Well, Phoenix isn't gonna be forget you know, Phoenix is
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: not gonna be there, right unless they buy some tickets
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: on stub Hub or something.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: They might be there, but then they're not gonna be there.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: But the Celtics.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I saw stat I don't remember I read it, but
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: the if the Celtics continue the where they're going, no
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: team in NBA history, even though the Warriors won all
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: those championships, no team in NBA history has won a
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: title taking more three point shots than two point shots.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: But the Celtics are a team that has taken more
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: three point shots than two point shots this year. So
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: if they were to win it, they'd be the first
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: team in NBA history to do it by playing that
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: style of basketball.
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: Wow. Ye, that should be something else, Hey, Ben, if

• 37:01
  Speaker 3: To the third degree, This is one big fan gets
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: grilled Cobolo.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: So the thunder have a wide lead in the Western Conference,
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: but the second seed in the seventh seed are only
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: separated by three and a half games, Ben, Who do
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: you think are the true contenders to win the West?
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: All Right, So I'm not gonna discount Oklahoma City. I
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: would be surprising if they make it. But even though
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: they've got their rate record, because they're gonna be battling
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: the officials. But I got the Nuggets, Oklahoma City and
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Golden State. One of those three teams will end up
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: winning the rest. I don't trust Houston as a lot
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: of these other things. I don't trust Lakers don't have
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: enough depth.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: Next This season's NBA rookie class hasn't exactly been groundbreaking.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: They suck.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: However, some are starting to think that the number two
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: overall pick Alex Sar is finally starting to show a
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: franchise player type potential and with it has come signs
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: of life from the Wizards. Do you think Wizards fans
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: can maybe start to get excited about the future.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: No, the team is irrelevant. All these games are meaningless.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: They've played a little bit better since they got Chris
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Middleton from the Milwaukee Bucks, but they have the worst
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: record in the Eastern Conference and I think the second
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: worst record in the NBA. So it's like meaningless basketball.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: And no, you're putting up some individual stats, but they're
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: not winning numbers. So there's no no, no, no, no,
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: no next next.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Kyler Murray said in a recent interview that having only
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: been to the playoffs once in his career has been disappointing.
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: But he's keeping an eye on what the Cardinals have
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: been doing in free agency and he thinks they're headed
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: in the right direction. Yeah, Ben, are they headed in
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: the right direction? Well, they're heading towards another season, coop.
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: So every year there's another season. No the Cardinals, what's
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: gonna happen this year. There'll be another mediocre Cardinal team.
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: They'll win six to seven games, something along those lines,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: will fire the coach, and then they'll talk about trading
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: How do we dow you failed this to this? Shaar
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Lakers true can ten years you were such a you
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: are such a fanboy. What a fanboy? Pathetic? Pathetic, pathetic
