  Speaker 1: It's the twenty first day of May, and here in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: our number one. The NBA Western Finals Game number two
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was played last night. We reacted shortly after the game ended.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Who gets the biggest portion of Benny's blame burrito for
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the Spurs losing Game two of the Western Finals in Okase?
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Also did the thunder cross the line by a dog
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: piling on top of Victor w ba Yama and containing
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: him and stop him? But they contained him? Also, what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: do you make of that very awkward postgame interaction between
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Shay Jogis Alexander and with NBC on his teammate Isaiah
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Hartenstein Hartenstein. Rather, we'll talk about all that and more
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: right now here.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: It is our number one.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Well, it turns out the sequel was not quite the equal,
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: at least not the game one. Welcome in not begaining
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: of another night of the band mallor show.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: We are in the air, a reware chilling in the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: audio world. As we are your sporty hunger bar. We
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: help you out. You need some your food or drinks
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: or whatever we got you covered right here, all my
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: long term stuff coast I know, border, the border and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: beyond on the vast and irresistibly powerful microphones of fs
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: are emminating live from the court, the Kangaroo Court of
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the overnight Game air n Team Human from the world
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: famous Fox Sports radio studios, where the Buck Guy Sadbuster
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: reminds us. This hour made possible by our friends at
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: tire Rack. I see supermarket Steve over there in analog
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: al nodding their heads yes. For over forty years, ti
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Iraq has been helping customers like Maloprop Guy, ferg Dog
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and Alf the Alien Opiner find the right tires for how,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: mobile tire installation tire raq dot com. The way the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Yeah, try to try to award
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that right. Well, actually, I think the people at tire
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Rack probably want you to do that, because then you'll
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: have to buy more tires because you're tires them out. Yeah,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: come on, make burn, baby burn, all right, So our
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: lead this hour from the Sooner state. It is the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: time of the year. If you look at your sports
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: talk radio calendar, and who doesn't have one of those.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: This is the time of the year where every night
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: there's a basketball game and then then we come in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: here and the yappity yappity yappitty. So we go to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Suitor State, the scene of the crime, the Hippodome
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: for game number two of the Western Finals, the Thunder
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: looking to yes, looking to bounce back and even things
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: up with the Spurs. And I don't know if you're
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: watching or now, this is where we make the big
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: money here. This is where we earn our money watching
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: these playoff games, so you don't have to. It's our
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: good mitzvah of the day. So former Clipper Shay jilgis
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Alexander bouncing back from a stink bomb he had in
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the opening game of this year's at thirty points, I'm
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: told that's good. The bald Mamba alex Caruso seventeen off
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the bench and OKC was okay. They beat the Spurs
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: by nine in game two. Internet conspiracy theorists are convinced
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: that the officials were in compliance here they got the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: nod from headquarters. The Thunder finished with a massive advantage
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: in bench scoring, fifty seven to twenty five. But the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker room. So jump
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: off on that particular point. Let us discuss the question
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: who is getting the biggest portion of Benny's blame burrito
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: for these Spurs losing Game two of the Western Finals.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So my thoughts of this, I've got Uber eats, International
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Space Station, and firewall, and we'll put all of these
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: things together and we're gonna make some Oklahoma smash burgers.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. That's what you put the onions,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: the grilled onions on top there, and it is pretty good.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: That's not bad. There's not many foods that have come
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: out of Oklahoma. That's a solid one right there, all right.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: So a.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I am going to serve up when I'm in the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: kitchen here and slaving away over the hot stovever in
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: this case of the microphone, we're serving up a massive
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: portion of Benny's blame burrito after Game two, and it's
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: stuffed to the brim with Stefan Castle and he is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: not six, not seven, eight nine turnover performance. That is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a meaty burrito, a blame with extra sloppy sauce, extra
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: sloppy sauce in that blame burrito. Yeah. So, look, he's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: filling the role plausibly Castle of the Aaron Fox. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the way this is going, he certainly wasn't filling the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: role in terms of ball security. The way he was playing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: He looked like he was auditioning to get traded to
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the Washington Wizards the way that he was performing. Here.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Castle has racked a mind boggling twenty turnovers in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: first two games of the Western Finals. Now, I didn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: play in the NBA. I'm told that's not good. He
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: handed Castle. Okay, see the win in the game on Wednesday.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You know, he reminded me of our friend Femi the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: great Uber each driver there in Minnesota because that was
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: hand delivered. Here is the head coach of the San
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Antonio basketball team. And you probably don't know who this
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: guy is because he's not that famous. Mitch Johnson is
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: his name. Gimme the Johnson. Here's Mitch Johnson on the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: many mistakes of Stefan Castle. Take a listen.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: We've addressed it and we'll continue to just in terms
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: of trying to help him with some of his reads,
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: especially when he's tired, whether it's playing more off two
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: feet or getting the ball, getting off the ball, excuse
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: me earlier with the early pass and just letting the
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: ball find open man. They do such a great job
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: of showing crowds in the payton, having multiple bodies and
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: so it's not just Steph. You know, he had too
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: many turnovers, but our whole team did.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Sounds like he needs a throat laws and doesn't. He's
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: got a little little tinge of Doc Rivers somewhere in there,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I like how the coaches like, wow,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: we worked with Stefan Castle and his turnovers, so he
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: did improve. He went from eleven turnovers to nine. So
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's great. What's not to like. So the Spurs obviously
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: they needed a medieval castle in Game two, and instead
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: they got a cheap sand castle crumbling at high tide
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: from the suffocating Oklahoma City pressure. Although I would argue
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that many of those turnovers, as I noted on my
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: notes app on my phone, were they were self inflicted.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It wasn't because it was amazing lockdown defense by the Thunder.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: It was just a lot of bonehead basketball that's not
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: particularly great possession I was told is nine tenths of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: victory and san Antonio surrendered all nine on that alone.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Now we know, no dearon Fox, oh my ankle couldn't
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: play in either of the first two games. So much
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: for rubbing some dirt on taking some iberprofen. You had
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Dylan Harper down, goes Harper and the Spurs are shorthanded,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: so I'm sure they're not going to use that as
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: an excuse, right, Mitch Johnson, you can't use that as
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: an excuse. Let's hear what he had to say. Let's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: take a listen.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: A ton you know, obviously this team is as good
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: as anybody.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: It turned you over.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: So when you're down some of your primary creators and initiators,
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: it causes a little bit of an extra strain, whether
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: that's who to play, what to play, what to run,
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: et cetera, et cetera, and what We'll just have to
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: be sharper in that area because it's it's tough.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: What happened to no excuses, Go go on craigslist or
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: offer up see if you can find some players there. Anyway,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the Spurs using the injuries like a rewards program at
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: this particular point here, it's supposed to be next man up.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Through your job, you keep depending on Castle to run
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: the show. I guess he'll go down to seven turnovers
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: in game three, and well, the Spurs keep turning the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: ball over like that, you're gonna end up face down
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in the riverwalk and it's not gonna be pretty now
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: page two. So as the Wemby turns, because the Wemby
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: is the world his impact. Now, to the casual observer,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you will say, okay, well he had another amazing game
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: twenty one points, seventeen rebound, six assists, four blocks, and
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a partridges in a pear tree that wasn't as sexy
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: as game one. However, if you watch the game, the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: impact of Wemby was very limited in this game, as
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: former Clipper Isaiah Hartenstein was clutching and grabbing and holding
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Victor Wembanyama and jumping on top of him. And how
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: physical was it? Well, it was so physical. The people
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: over there at NBC put together and Isaiah Hartenstein highlight reel,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: which was pretty much just clip after clip of him
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: holding and grabbing and fouling Wemby. In fact, it got
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to the point where the broadcaster from the National Broadcasting
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Company Reggie Miller said, quote, I guarantee you this on
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the broadcast. I guarantee you between all of the clenching
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Hartenstein has done versus Wemby, and now that there was
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: another play, the league is going to take a look,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a long look close quote from Reggie Miller. So the
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: question is this, did the thunder cross the line by
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: dog piling on Victor Wemba Nyama, who still ended up
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: with twenty one points, but again muted the impact. So
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: my answer, I've got two words. Hell no, I didn't
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: cross the line. It's it's rather ridiculous.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: The Parisian prodigy met Oklahoma Gravity and on that night
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Gravity won and it wasn't like dirty and even by
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: modern standards. Mark dag Now, the coach there played forty
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: chess and then the spurs kind of reading or what
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: are we supposed to do here? I don't know, let's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: look it up on Wikipedia or something like that. So
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: back in the old days we would call that good
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: coaching by dag Now, is a good job by you.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Adjustments and the yang and certainly didn't cross the line.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: They may have smudged the line, just like a little
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: smudge right on the line. There, and I don't know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: they didn't stop on it. They're pretty much daring San
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Antonio to complain. And the way Wemby looked in Game one,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it looked that there's no weakness. Well, everyone has a weakness, right,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: We're all human unless you're a lizard person and you're
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: not or something like that. But every superstar has a weakness,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and Wemby's is rather obvious. I mean, it just happens
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: to be visible from the International Space Station. If you
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: are built like a car antenna from the nineteen seventies,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: you're going to bend in the wind. That is going
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: to happen here. And Wemby, he's not Bronni. He is Scrotti.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: He's not bronny, but he's scrotty. And okay, see, finally
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in this game, they took advantage of that. They pushed
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: him around. And if you're as skinny as a twig
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and Wemby is, I feel like I need to feed
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: him steak or something like that. Get him a nice brisket.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: And if you're built that way, don't be shocked when
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: teams start raking the leaves. The playoffs, well, the regular
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: season is designed for leisure. The playoffs are supposed to
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: not be for whims. You go out there and play,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: and this is the part of the season where we
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: actually pay attention. You might want to add more protein,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: otherwise you're going to continue to be pushed around. Now,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: if Wemby wants to stop getting dogpiled, he might want
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to He might want to go eat a ribbi or
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: something like that. And I don't think it's okay ses
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: job to protect him. Maybe it is. It's the officials.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Now I understand how this works. The thunder will continue
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to shove away. When Reggie Miller said the league will
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: take a long look, that's a dog whistle. That's NBA
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: speak for we must protect the new golden boy, the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Parisian prodigy. We cannot allow him to get pushed around.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And if you're going to be the perfect big man
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: designed the combination of Tim Duncan and David Robinson and
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: all these people, you gotta pay the strength tax. And
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: right now Wemby is still he's filing for an extension
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: on the strength tax. He is all right. Last words,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: we had a viral moment post game which was hilarious.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I would say ninety nine point nine percent of the time.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: These postgame interviews are a complete nothing burger, just a
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: waste of time. I have a buddy of mine who
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: used to be a very powerful newspaper man and was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a big editor at a major newspaper, and he will text
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: me all the time about how dumb the questions are postgame.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: What a complete waste of time. How did it feel?
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. So it's pretty much nothing to
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: pay attention to it. I just happened to have the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: TV on. I normally don't watch this stuff. I happened
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: to have the TV on, and so Shay Jogis Alexander
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: on and me C was asked postgame about the impact
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Hartenstein had guarding Wemby. That's one of the storylines.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: We talked about him clutching and grabbing and holding Wemby
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: and that seemed to certainly help out. And without missing
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a beat, Sga responded, I'm not sure if if it
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: was good. To be honest, yeah is what he said.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I was sure it was good, he said. Now. Moments later,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: when the reporter realized my god, this no name, reporters like, wait,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: we got something here, and so she followed up to
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: break it down more, and Sga immediately pivoted and said
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it was all right, it was good. When asked the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: follow ups now later in the interview room, the player
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: Yogis Alexander tried to clarify again his comments about Hertenstein's teammate.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, I didn't really hear her, meaning the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: reporter for NBC, Sga said, and then once I realized
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: what she said, I gave her the right answer. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: heard it wrong what she said close quote all right, question,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: what do you make of that? Interaction between the thunder
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: MVP Shay Jogis Alexander on NBC when asked about his
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: center Isaiah Hartenstein. So let's just stop right here and pause.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I call time out, time out in the court here,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: or time out in the magic audio box. I swear
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm not listen. I watched that. I rewatched
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: it several times. He SGA heard whoever that no name
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: NBC lady was just fine, right, you don't lean in?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: He leaned in. He nodded. He reacted, you don't do
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: all that and then claim you didn't hear the question.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: But we have the audo. Let's go to listen. We're
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: gonna play it. For you and listen to how all
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: this went down. Take a listen.
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: You all made a pivot defensively part on Wenby.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: What kind of impact did Isaiah house to night. I'm
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: not sure if it was good, to be honest, Yeah,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: break that down for me, Break that down for me.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: Why was this impact not good?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: It was all right, it was good. It was good.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Oh it's great. So he nod. You can't see it
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: because we're on radio, but he nodded, he reacted, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: then of course later claimed he didn't hear the question.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: What Shaye Jogis Alexander actually missed was not the question,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: It was the approved answer is what he missed, which
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: didn't load until about five seconds too late, unfortunately. And
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this was the classic athlete brain fart moment where you
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: give the answer you're not supposed to give it a time,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: you're not supposed to give it, You leak that out,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and then the brand manager inside immediately panics. It's what
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: happens when the sportscliche dot com firewall crashes mid sentence.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh crap, I gotta think of this on
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: my own. I got I got this roll the decks
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: of these sportscliche dot com quotes. You know, brought our
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a game. Both teams played hard. My man, all that
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and to me the dead giveaway and I go back
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: to the FBI handbook online. Shay's eyes, when asked for
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the follow up, went right up to the heavens. He
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: looked up to the ceiling like he was desperately trying
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: to search for the right script, like he realized he
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: had the wrong script. And he wasn't confused, he was
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: just kind of caught between a momentary flash of saying
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the thing you're not supposed to say and realizing, well,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: wait a minute. The NBA has a mandatory praise your
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: teammate protocol. You know, if you do not praise your teammate,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: you're a bad human, you are. And all these guys,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: we've proven with these coaches that these guys are so
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: soft they can't handle any criticism. So now it's a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: small drama, absolutely, yeah, still a drama, right. It shows
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: how the league has conditioned players to fear even the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: slightest deviation from the norm in terms of the narrative here,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: And I thought his first dad, he said, yeah, he
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: just kind of mucked up the game. And I don't
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: know if he really helped out the impact on it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: It's like an honest answer and that's fine. It was human.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: And then his second answer was the corporate answer from
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the player there and so SGA he had the look
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: of a guy thinking, ah, hell, I gotta clean this up.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I gotta get a mop and a bucket. Scrub a
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: dub dub, scrub a dub dub. We got a spell.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: There's a bit of a spill over here. Yeah. So anyway,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: it is the Ban Mahlor Show. If you would like
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to be part, you can join us right now and

• 20:25
  Speaker 1: as cool. But we will. We will be here nonetheless
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: throughout the duration of the over night hours. So some
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: of the fallout from the postgame festivities there in all
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Klahoma in Oklahoma as the Thunder get the win. So
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: it's one and one best of five series. Now home
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: court goes back to San Antonio until the thunder win

  Speaker 1: of that. So straight ahead, if you are not settled

  Speaker 1: were lucky enough to attend the big meet and greet
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: we did in Vegas last year broke out. We had
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the karaoke going. Well, we have karaoke when we do
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: our Vegas meet and greet this year. Who knows. I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: have no idea. It's up to our buddy slug in Vegas.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: But it is the Ban Malor Show talking some pro
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: bouncy ball right now. As the Western Finals now a
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: best of five, as San Antonio goes down in Game two,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: not as crisp a performance, and we're reacting to that.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: The thunder adjustments to jump on and pile on top
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of Wemby, and it worked and it will work until
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the NBA says, you know what, IX nay on that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox on ex at
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Ben Maler, you can say hello to Loraina FSR Tech queens,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: don't talk to me and Cooper Loop at a Bronco fan.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: That's a Bronco fan. You're coin. It's can and will
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: be used against you in the court of sports radio.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: So please please act accordingly. Yes, all right, get back
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: to it. Well, back to where we go, and there
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: were a couple of clips from the game questioning the officiating.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: There was one backcourt violation that was called against San
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Antonio where if you look at the replay, unless this
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: is AI and I've seen two different clips which are
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: the same, it appears that the Spurs player did not
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: actually dribble on the other side of the court. Yet
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I believe it was Tony Brothers. Not my brother or
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: your brother, but Tony Brothers. Well, I guess it's going
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: to run for political office in Virginia. I think I
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: have read that somewhere. Anyway, he called over the line
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and no, it was on the ball bounced on the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: right side of the line. That's just one example. There
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: are some other plays, of course, when you get down
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: into the nitty gritty, and there's a lot of I
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: don't know if these are real people or bots. I
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what they are. There's these groups, they got
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: nothing going on, and they see every single E F
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: and play. They break down every freaking play in these games.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I want to I want my My eyes
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: are gonna bleed with all this nonsense. It's out of control,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: is what it is. I get it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: But my god, the Thunder are very annoying to watch.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You're not, I I agree either, they're they're they're not
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: aesthetically pleasing coop. Is that what you're trying to say?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Is that? Right? Yes, I agree with you. There's nothing
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: exceptional about them, right is on the color palette or
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: the players. It's the Bullet players. Right now, doesn't the
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: logo look like it's just kind of a temporary thing.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I look at the Thunder and I'm like, well, that's
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: kind of like a temporary name and logo, and like
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I keep waiting for them to get a real logo,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's the whole time they've been
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: in Oklahoma. I'm like, well, that doesn't see It just
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: seems like they just slap that together, the uniforms and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the whole thing. There's nothing really appealing about it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: That's that's fair. But I mean when when it comes
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: to the actual, like on the court stuff, and I
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: just I feel like it's you know, at this point
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: it feels lazy to talk about the flopping and whatnot.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: But I'm watching the game and it's like and Shay's
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: falling down every single shot.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: It's like, come on, bro, you're annoy you're annoyed.
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Well, and then and then, and then Hartenstein is kind
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: of irritating to your standard.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Like he's an old school They used to have guys
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: like that in the NBA. He's not really good at basketball,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: but he's just kind of big and a Birdman. He
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: reminds me of Birdman without the tattoos. Yes, yeah, you
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: know when Birdman played for the Nuggets. He was warming
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: up before a game. I was at and I stood there.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I was mesmerized by his neck tattoos he had, like
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: he had the whole box of crayons on his neck.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: It was wild. It's really crazy, man, I did see
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: you see that one thing Shade did, which is the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: stuff he did after the game where he gave the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: wrong answer and then tried to correct it, and then
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: also in the interview room, was more entertaining than the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: game himself. He said he was annoyed with his teammate
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: Jared McCain. McClain. Rather, he was upset with him because
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Jared was yelling at him while he was shooting, and
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: he was distracted, so he had to yell. There was
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: a brief interaction there where they were not happy. We
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: had a lot of reaction from the Mallord militia on this,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and let's see where should we go first? Let's see
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: page down here. Sean says your MVP SGA finally liked
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: liked it in game too. I think you misspelled the
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: word here taking down his nemesis spurs salute. That's from Sean.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: All right, what else do we have? Let's see here,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: nature Boy writes in answering the call at the while,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: this is I guess SGA thought he was in a
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: private conversation when the answer was and when he answered
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that no name reporter, Yeah, something like that, valls fan Jimmy.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: He is a big staple of the show back in
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the in the day, but we haven't heard from him
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: much in recent years. He says, I couldn't tell if
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I was watching the Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: or WWE. The game is very predictable, the outcome was obvious.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: This is similar to both professional wrestling and the Harlem
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Globe Trotters. You could also say banana ball, although I'm
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: told I've not seen the bananas in action, the Savannah Bananas.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: I am told that they actually lose that they're not
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: there the baseball version of the Harlem Globe Trotters. However,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: they don't win every game. It's not a rig deal.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Gunner from the Walmart break room in Northern Minnesota writes
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: in he says he liked the opening monologue A plus
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: plus plus plus plus Is that was his answer? Yeah?
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Not a burness has been. I am concerned that Ferg
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Dog's fascination with the Shawshank redemption will inspire him to
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: try to recreate the move the movie. Yeah, well, listen
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: what I know about Ferg Dog. I don't think he's
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: in any danger, all right. He's not going out getting
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: any trouble. He's just hiding behind the phone and having
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a field day. Mark the Walker says, I now have
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: two goals in life. Have all four of my daughters
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Mary Buffalo Bills fans and number two get mentioned in
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: a tire IRAQ Live read. The first is unfortunately a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: physical impossibility. The second doable. Yeah, somewhat. We were in Rochester.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Aren't there mostly Bills fans around there? I would think
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: a good group of Bills fans, not all Bills fans,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: but a fair amount of Bills fans. I think your
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: daughters are there. I don't thin they all live there.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they are. I would assume there,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: maybe not even dating age.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're younger that. But you're living there, you surrounded
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: by bells fans, So I think the odds are in
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: your favor. What do I know? Anyway, we'll take some
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: calls at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: if you'd like to be part of the program as
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: we navigate the overnight and Oh what fun is. I
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: did get a great email from Boston Chuck, who I
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: don't think is a podcast listener. I think he listens live.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: It was a very wordy email. I've not written back
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: to Boston Chuck. I did enjoy his message, as he
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: does appreciate the show. Of course, I did not appreciate
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: him enough to write back, because I'm a schmuck, and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I will at some point get back to my Let's
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: go to the phones and enie meenie miney mo, let's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: say hello to Let's go to Joel, who's leapless in Seattle. Hello, Joe, welcome, Welcome.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Span.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: I wondered what you thought of the chances of Seattle
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: getting an expansion when Adam Silver said, we're exploring.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the NBA would would like to give
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Seattle a team, and the plan has been to give
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Seattle in Vegas a team, although supposedly there's Memphis could
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: relocate chatter New Orleans are going to relocate, so they
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: got to figure that stuff out. The other problem is
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: that the politics in Seattle are not great here. I
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: think you're your socialist mayor is trying to chase away
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: big rich people, which generally people that own sports teams
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: are very wealthy and they don't like get politicians trying
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: to touch their money. So who knows what's going on
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: with all that, But yeah, I think the Sosonics will return,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: how about in the next ten years, actually close to
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: I think the next five years, though in the next
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: couple years they'll be announcement. Usually it takes a couple
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: of years and then the Sonics will come back and
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: they'll they'll bring back Gary Payton, and they'll bring back
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Sean Kemp and Xavier McDaniel and Debt Live Shrimp and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: all those guys will come back. Brown Downtown Freddie Brown,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Nate McMillan, Yeah, he's I think I think those guys
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: are all still around.
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: There you go, Freddy Brown, Freddie Brown before the three
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: point line, he had a niche in the corner that
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: was three point.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: You know, he did have one of the great, one
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: of the great nicknames, Downtown Freddie Brown, which is a solid,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: solid nickname, that's outstanding. Yeah. So all right, that's all
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you got. That's it. You just wanted to say hello,
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: hot Sonic, Like, let's say hello to Anthony and Louisiana. Hello, Anthony, Welcome.

  Speaker 1: your take Anthony on the NBA and that Western Conference
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Finals again. What are your thoughts on the Thunder taking

  Speaker 1: down these Spurs?
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, well they did Oklahoma did good because Oklahoma las
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: loaves the first game. They was a little rusty coop.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Can you send that out on social media? Anthony and
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Anaheim says Oklahoma did good. That's I say, Anaheim, that's
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: a freud instead of Anthony and Amy. He's an old
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: retired call used to call the show. That's right, Anthony
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: and Louisiana. And not just Anthony and Louisiana, but a
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: man who knows that when you want to impress a
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: young lady, you take her to outback steakhouse.
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: Right.

  Speaker 1: that I he has to get through me? Like, like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: he must really be annoyed, like he when I.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Just gotta talk to this guy first.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I know, this fat ass, middle aged loser. I gotta
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: talk to this dope and I just want to talk to.
• 33:13
  Speaker 9: Hervey all right, Well that's the beauty is if you
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: listen to the fifth Hour.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I think it was a ferg dog on the mail
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: bag last week. He's like, uh, why do you put
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: him on? And I think I said, and this is true,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Like my goal is to try to try to talk
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: to Anthony as long as I can before he cuts
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you off. Exactly. He wants nothing to do with me.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: I am a nuisance. I am a problem for him
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and the pot of gold at the end of the
