• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour to begin the festivities. The
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: festivus of talk is from the story that everyone's yapping about.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: All right, everyone's got a hot take on this, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: it's all about the puck.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: That's right, this, all of a sudden, the big puck.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Ing hockey show right now, and that is our lead.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So do not adjust the audio device. You're listening to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Mal monologue on the puck now.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Boston was the stage for the Four Nations Championship game.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I watched.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I said I was gonna watch, and when I say
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something, my word is my bond.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: And I watched.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: So USA team Canada not an Olympic event. It's just
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that picked out of Garry Bettman's took us and the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: four nation thing because nobody wants to watch All Star
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: games anymore.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if you watched it or not.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Maybe not, but the.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Game went into bonus time where Connor McDavid, who couldn't
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: get it done last year in the Cup Final for Edmonton,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: but Connor McDavid got it done here. He scored with
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: eight eighteen on the clock and overtime there and Canada
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he had a three to two win over the US
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: there on Thursday night in Boston and the North American rivalry.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We need Mexico to get a hockey team so they
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: could be a third team in here.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: But this really just to tune up for the.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty six Olympics. Although the hype for this thing
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: was next level. Tickets on the secondary market were Stanley
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Cup final level pricing and you had Nathan McKinnon of
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the Abs, Sam Bennett.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: They scored for Canada, and it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Was Jordan Bidnington, yes, the Saint Louis Blue, the twenty
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: five saves in regulation and then in overtime he had
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: six more.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: And that is where the same arena.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Where he as a rookie five years ago he was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: able to get it done in the Stanley Cup Final
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: against the Bruins. Must be some I think about the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: home team losing in that building in hockey and for
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a team USA, Brady Kitchuck and Jake Sanderson, they had
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: goals and a guy with a great name, Connor Hellabuck
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: twenty two saves in regulation. He had three more in overtime.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But it was all about the game winner from Connor McDavid.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: He said of the four Nations matchup, he said, you
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: can't ask for a better show than that. Okay, that's
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: what he said. So let us discuss. Were you entertained?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Did the USA versus Canada game live up to the billing?
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: As Connor McDavid said, you can't ask for a better
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: show than that.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: So I've got my thoughts on this. I've got Panda.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Express, synchronized swimming, and old fashioned breakfast dish, and we
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: will combine all of these things together and I'm going
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to take you on a Droy ride on my zamboni.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Is what I'm going to do, absolutely right there, all.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Right, So, first of all, it was a mixed bag, right,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: did it live up to the building. Well, we got overtime.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Check that box right there. The
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: game was nip and tuck. Yes, that's a good thing,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: nail bider. All of those things are positive things. Didn't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: have a great feeling when the Canadians.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Scored first and oh what whoa?
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: But the USA came back and tied it and all that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: It was one one, two to two, and then eventually,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: obviously what happened in the overtime. But when you do
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the evaluation and you check the full picture here.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: The game, the outcome of the game.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: You cannot look at the game without the outcome, because
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: that's what you're gonna remember, right, And so it was
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: kind of like a meal at Panda Express. It was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: sweet and sour chicken, because ultimately, years from now, he's
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you remember, oh, it was a close game, and you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: overtime and this guy scored. That guy's no, you're gonna
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: remember the bittersweet any if you're in America, and if
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you're in Canada, it's a different story here. That they
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: were the US team in overtime. They were they were
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: all over, all over Bennington and he ended up making
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the making the pleasant And that's what all these games
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: are about, right, you make you make the the plays
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: when you have to blah blah blah blah. The cliche goes, right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: All that matters is what you do in the moment,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and he was just a hair better in the moment.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And so I thought, you know, mister hockey over here,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that the USA was dominating putting pressure on the Canadians,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: but then they took a nap, and you can't take
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: a nap at that time. And the Canadians stood on
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: guard for thee And so for Conemick David's storybook ending,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: not so much for team say and if you felt
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: there was a huge Arctic gust of wind, did you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: feel the Arctic gust of wind? It was around the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: eleven o'clock hour there in the Eastern time zone, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: that was a gust of wind coming out from from
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Canada towards America. And it was a sigh of relief.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: It was a sigh of relief, collective sigh of relief
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: from the outcome of that game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Now moving on from that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You had a former NFL player entered the chat on
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: this yeh jj Watt who said in the lead up
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to the game on Thursday night that the Four Nations
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: face off is the quote definition of growing the game.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And he's not alone. I've heard many a pundit, many
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a so called expert forecast tremendous boom times for hockey
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because of what happened over the last week. In a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: few days, So will this actually lead to more NHL
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: fans Now I have no skin in the game, I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: have no puck on the ice, but I'm gonna downvote
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: this popular opinion, popular opinion by me, But I'm going
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to go down vote on the idea that this is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: growing the game of hockey, and there's so many more
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: people are gonna watch the NHL because of this. And
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: here's why. Now, the USA lost, so that's a big
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: part of it. But even if they had won, even
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: if the outcome had been different, my position would not
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: be that much different, because I'll preface this by saying
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: credit to the players. It is possible. It is possible
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that you can treat an exhibition like it matters. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: was told by my favorite NBA stars that you can't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: expect them to play hard because they might get hurt.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They might get hurt, so you should just accept the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: fact that they're lack of day's agoal lazy and they lolligag.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That's the NBA model in exhibition is But clearly it's possible.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It's conceivable that in hockey with nothing really on this
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: be honest, nothing online, and they just made up the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: trophy out of thin air. But hockey players playing with
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: gump shit and grit and all that stuff, and that's wonderful.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: And as for the view from thirty thousand feet, as
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I said, even if the USA had won, any uptick
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: would have been temporary.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Here's why. The reason that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: You got engaged and the reason I got engaged and
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I became a little invested here at the end, is
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: not because of love of hockey, all right, not because
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you love icing the puck a right, not because of that,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: but because of love of country.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: It was patriotism.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And with any of these events, you can always sell patriotism.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: People always buy it one hundred percent of not right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And I'm no different. You wrap yourself in the flag.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: But it's similar to people watching synchronized swimming or rhythmic
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: gymnastics during the Olympics. You kind of get into it
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: because you want to see a medal, you want to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: see your country win. But are people watching rhythmic gymnastics
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: or synchronized swimming when they're not wearing the colors of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: your country.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: No, there's no carryover.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: And so do you think even if there's let's say
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: five percent of the people that watched this tournament, they
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: flip on this weekend. I don't know some Blues Avalanche game,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: or the Wild and the black Hawks, or whatever whatever
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: game it might be. I don't even know the schedule,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: but whatever game you think they're gonna be like, oh man,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: this is great, it's just like what I just saw here. No,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be no juice. There's no aura around a
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: random regular season game in the NHL. So it's not
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: really about like, well, I love hockey all of a sudden,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it's like, wait, you introduce people to some hockey.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: But it's more about the country stuff. That's what it's about.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Now, speaking of that, the last word immediately following the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Canadian and win in overtime, the outbound Prime Minister with
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: this guy I relieved, Justin Trudeau tempted to poke the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: president President Trump was some internet trash talk, some sporty
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: internet trash talk saying you can't take our country and
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: you can't take our game, sent out on social media
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: or someone who's an underling sent that out on social media.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Of course, this referring to the fifty first state chattern.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Many Canadians said, well, you're the eleventh province now, but
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: what did you make of the Canadian trash talk from
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Justin Trudeau.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: So my position on this did not quite hit the
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: bull's eye.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: If you look at the menu, the Trudeau attempt at
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: trash talk was an old fashioned breakfast dish. It was
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: milk toast and it was covered in weak sauce, kind
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: of like his ability to govern the fine people of Canada.
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: There his line, you can't take our game.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Now, I'm casual as casual comes when it comes to hockey.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: But even I know that it's kind of already happened,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: like the US kind of took your game.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, let's be honest here, and.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna even bring up the fact that the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: US team beat Canada in the game on Saturday a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: couple of days back. But last time a Canadian team
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: hoisted up Lord Stanley's Cup.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Was when the Internet was in the embryonic stage, the
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: World Wide Web as it was called in nineteen ninety three.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: This is before America Online, this is before Netscape Navigator,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: way before social media.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Was a thing.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: People were trying to explain to everyone what this was,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: and the information super Highway they called it. All of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that we're talking about thirty two years ago, thirty two
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: year drought for again as Trudeau said, you can't take
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: our game. But for thirty two years teams representing US
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: cities have won the Stanley Cup. And if I'm not mistaken,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I did some Malard math on this. There's thirty two
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: teams in the NHL and there are twenty five teams
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in the States, so that means around eighty percent. The
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: actual sweet spot number is seventy eight percent of the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: NHL is US teams. But you can't take our game. Well,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: it's kind of happened. It's it's kind of happened there,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: so I mean, you can take it back if you want,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: but it's kind of kind of taking place there.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler

• 13:58
  Speaker 4: And another one out out. That's all that happens in
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: this sport. They're all getting hurt.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Well, come in the beginning, love another hour of the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Ben Mather Show.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: We are in the air everywhere.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: As we talk continuously, and we keep on talking all
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: night long, coast to coast, border.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: To order and beyond.
• 14:28

  Speaker 1: amminating live from the eye the Eye of the Audio Hurricane.

  Speaker 1: I know random Ryan and Carolina loves the number ten thousand.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: So our lead this hour.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Is from the Injury Tent and pro Bouncy. But we'll
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: get back to the hockey stuff late. I did do
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a top of the hour Mallon monologue, the rare and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: appropriate hockey monologue. As Connor McDavid spoiled the party. Everyone
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: was all dressed up ready to celebrate, and it's kind
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of like a presidential election and you're at the headquarters
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of the candidate and you think they're going to win
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and then they don't win, and so it's that awkward thing.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: It's that awkward thing.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: But again went to overtime Connor McDavid, who wins at Canada,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: wins the Four Nations, but are lead This hour is
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: from the Alamo. That didn't turn out too well either
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: in the Alamo. So if you haven't heard this basketball story.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I assume you know by now, but maybe not the
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: man that has been anointed the face of the NBA,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: even though he's not quite face of the NBA yet.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Team blows and they're gonna suck some more. The San
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Antonio Spurs have lost star player Victor Wembanyama for the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: rest of the season. Turnout the last the parties over,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: He's done. Now, this is not your standard NBA injury. No, no,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: this is like next level what happened here? As we
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: are told that Wembanyama, who we last saw cheating in
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the All Star weekend, is out because of deep vein
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: thrombosis in his right shoulder.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: What does that mean? In layman's terms, it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Means the Parisian prodigy has a blood clot, which was
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: discovered after Wembanyama attempted to cheat in skills competition didn't
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: get away with it the NBA All Star Game.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Now, the condition is supposedly the way you treated with.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Blood thinners, and as I've learned over the years from
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: athletes that have had similar situations, if you are on
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: blood thinners, you're not allowed to participate in contact sports
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: because if you start bleeding, you are screwed. So when
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you're on the blood thinners. Now, the Spurs are very optimistic.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: They think this is nothing. They're like, Oh, when Banyama
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: will recover, he'll be ready to go for next season.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: They're not worried about any kind of long term health ramifications.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: The acting coach of the Spurs, a guy named Mitch Johnson,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: whoever that is, said that the medical staff there in
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: San Antonio said that the Parisian prodigy long term outlook
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: is not impacted at all by what they just called
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the setback. Okay, so let us discuss are we getting
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: the whole story on Wemby's situation with the Spurs? Are
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: we getting the full story here with what's going on
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: with Wemby? So I've got music, factory, creepy pasta, and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: wool socks, and we will.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Combine all of these.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Things together and we are going to kick some tail.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Is what we're going to do. So Na burn I said,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: nam we're getting a version.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Of the truth from the San Antonio Spurs. I do
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: not believe we're getting the whole truth. Definitely, nothing but
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: the truth. It feels a little bit like the classic
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: scene from an old movie in Hollywood called the Naked
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Gun move on. Nothing to see here, Please disperse? Are
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: you sure that everything's sunshine, rainbows and lollipops? The man
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: that is the franchise has blood clots. Like I get
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that being optimistic is nice, and you're supposed to be optimistic. However,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we know that every situation is different, and Wemby has
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: already been He's been put on a pedestal on a
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: dog Food Spurs team as the future of the NBA,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the heir to the throne and all that. Everyone's going
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: to genuineflect to Wenby for years to come. But he's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: got blood clots. This is a condition that is most
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: common among those over the age of sixty. And if
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: you look at the factors, and I did a minutes
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: long mallor investigation here, it's a condition that generally happens
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we get older. And among the factors that increase your
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: risk are, let's check these here, obesity, pregnancy, having a surgery,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: blood clotting disorders, and a lot of sitting around not
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: being active at all.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: So this is where you cue the CNC Music Factory.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: There things that make you go hmm, things that make
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you go home. So unless I checked Wemby isn't fat.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: We don't think he's pregnant, although maybe he needs a test,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: And I don't believe there's any kind of recent surgery.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: So what are you gonna do? All right now? Page two?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: So the Spurs think everything's wonderful, rainbows.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Lollipops, all that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: But what does this mean for Victor Womba Yama in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the future. This our perspective, So I would say, unlike
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the optimism, this is tbd TBD.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: It's a case by case basis.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Brandon ingram is I believe in Toronto now, but he
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: had this happen.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: I think it was with the Lakers when it happened,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: and he was able to come back.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Chris Bosh his career was absolutely derailed because of the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: blood clots and the blood thinners and underlying conditions that
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: they didn't know about, and then they knew about it
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and all that. So again, based on.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: A couple of clicks.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Here and there, everyone I know is different, right, You're
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: different than me, even though we're all kind of the
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: same crap, you know the same space does Everyone's wired different?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: And so deepin thrombosis can be deadly, can actually be deadly,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: like a blood.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: Clot goes to your lungs or your heart and it's
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: it's lights out.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: We lost one of my colleagues at Fox Sports Radio
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: who had blood clots and it led to a heart
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: attack and unfortunately crossed over the pearly gates. And so
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: it can be a deadly thing. It's a very serious thing.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And we don't know everything. I don't even spurs know everything.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: How could they possibly know everything. I'm just trying to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: be optimistic and speak that into the reality here. But
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: you don't know if there's some other underlying situation that
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: could affect him long term, and you cannot predict what's
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: gonna happen with a case like this based on the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: fact everyone's different. And it's not like a broken leg.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: You know everyone you break, You break your leg, you
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: kind of know what to do with You got that
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: pretty down pat You break your hand, they know how
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: to handle it. But when by Yama, you look at
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: him from afar and it's like a creepy pasta the
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: internet meme there, Slenderman Wemby is needle Finn. He's unnaturally tall,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and I think he's a humanoid. He might be a
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: Lizard person.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, there's a lot of money that is going to
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: change hands because of this, because had Wemby continued to play,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he would have been would have been the Defensive Player
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of the Year. He is not going to qualify. He's
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: not going to get to sixty five games required for
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that to happen. So he's not going to be the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, and that means that money
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: will be shifting around the NBA, either to Memphis.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Or to Cleveland most likely. Know what does that mean?
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: So Jaren Jackson junior of the grizz and he is
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: he's in the running right now to get that trophy
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: He would become eligible to sign.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: A three hundred and forty five million dollars super Max
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: contract based on winning that award this year.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: And then Evan Mobley, who.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Is I believe he's on the rookie extension with Cleveland
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: he signed last offseason. That would go from two hundred
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: twenty four million to two hundred and sixty nine million.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: So if you do the math.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: On that, that's a lot, right, that's over forty five
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: million dollars more.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Because Wemby got blood clots.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: So somebody's either gonna get forty five million extra or
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: three hundred and forty five million money money, money, money, money, money.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: Al Right, final point. Drama, O rama, drama, O rama, dateline,
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: North Carolina. But actually the NBA Road Hornet Center.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Mark Williams, the man that was never a Laker but
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: almost was. Mark Williams does not believe that the trade
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: that was vetoed to the Lakers should have been voided
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: based on his physical condition. He said, quote, I don't
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: think it was solely because of my physical now. Williams
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: also posted a colli a collage of photos on the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: social with the caption There's always peace when you know
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the truth. You also had the agent slightly biased, the
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: agent for the Hornet Center who issued a statement disputing
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: disputing the Lakers decision to fail the physical leading to
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the trade that was rescinded a couple weeks back. All right,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: So question did the Lakers have ulterior motives invoiding the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Mark Williams trade with the Lakers. So I'm nodding my head. Yes,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know how you can answer it any other way.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And obviously Williams is biased. The agent is biased, everyone's
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: got their own skin in the game in this I don't.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: But the implication by Williams is there's other stuff going on,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: and I'm going yes, And really what's needed here is
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: wolf socks, because the Lakers got cold feet. When you
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: get cold feet, you need wolf socks.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: To warm you up. They were worried about Williams going snap,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: crackle pop. That is part of it. But they were also.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Worried that they were giving way too much up for
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: a guy who's damaged.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: Goods and that well they would have liked to have
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: had him.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh, we can't really give all this stuff
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: up because we got any other stuff. And then so
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: they cooked up some kind of paper PaperWorks in net food.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: And as I have learned over.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: My years on this planet doing marginal overnight sports talk radio,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in the big business of professional sports, the industrial complex
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of professional sports in North America, if you want a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: player that has some issues, shall we say, with their body.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: You got to go shopping. It's called doctor shopping.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: You get the guy that finished last in medical school,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and if you have to, you go to another country
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: and you find some doctor that got his medical degree
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: on a website and you have that doctor signed the
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: hippocratic oath that your players is ready to go, and
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they passed the physical now vs V.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: If you if you don't want.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: A player, it's very easy to find a red flag
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: and veto a trade and say, wow, we don't know
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: about that precede that direction. So again it comes down
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: to what your agenda is. What is your agenda?
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: This is the Lakers. They made the trade.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: At the time they made the trailer, they're like, oh, man,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: even though this guy gets hurt all the time, this
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Mark Williams guy, he's perfect. I mean, you told me
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: we had a guy call up. Who's I think he
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: was a Hornets fan.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Oh, this is this guy's gonna dominate.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: Mark Williams is so good.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: By the time we got done with that phone call,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I thought that the Lakers had acquired Jokic from the Nuggets,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that Williams was that good. And then they veto the trade.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: So something else going on there. Did Lebron make a
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: phone call? Did Lebron say, wait a minute, you can't
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: do this, Well, sorry, Lebron, it's Luca's team. Now we
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: can do whatever we want. We'll keep an eye on
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: that that story is not done. That's story is not
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: done by a long shot. There will be more on
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: that story. I will garantee that the dirt's gonna come out.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I can also guarantee you that the stories will come
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: out about Luca being depressed and overeating when he got
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: to the Lakers.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: I envisioned that. I was flipping around after the hockey
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: game and I.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Turned on the Lakers are playing Portland and Luca now
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: they were up.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: They were wearing the road unifors. Luca didn't play in
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: You know, when you're in your mid twenties, you can't
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: be expected to play back to back games. Uh So
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: Luca sat out out of an abundance of caution. And
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: he even looked fat in the street clothes, But he
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: looks fatter when he wears that yellow Home Laker uniform.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's not good. It's not good.
• 27:42

  Speaker 2: The third degree. This is one big Ben gets grilled.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: Kulu.
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: It was reported this week that the NFL is concerned
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: that criticism of current NFL officials will cause potential future
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: NFL officials to never choose to become officials. Ben, is
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: this a legitimate concern, No, it's stupid.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Listen, if you pay somebody enough money, you imagine if
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: that's your full time job, all you have to do
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is officiate twenty games a year. Eventually they'll start playing
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: twenty games a year. But right now, even if you
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: say a couple exhibition games, that can play eighteen games,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: so it is twenty and then you're.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Gonna have playoff games. But sign me up for that.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Come on, you get to be in the stadium, on
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the field with our gladiators.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Come on, it's ridiculous. I know the criticism. Who cares
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: about it? For that?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: They pay him a decent amount of money. Of course
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: they'll do it next Olympia.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Noah Lyles told NBC News that he hopes this race
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: with tyreek Hill will help keep track relevant outside of
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: the Olympics from a marketing standpoint, Ben, do you think
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: it'll accomplish that?
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Well, I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but that
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: is what's known as a one off. Yeah, for that night,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: that day, people will be excited Noel Lyles versus Tyreek Hill,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and as soon as that event ends, people will forget
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: about track and field until the next Olympics, and then
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: they'll pay attention because it's only relevant during the Olympics
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in America. I don't know about the rest of the country.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know rest the world. Rather, I don't live
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: in the rest of the world. But I know in
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: America we care about our track and field for a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks during the Summer Olympics, and then that's
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Next, it was reported yesterday that LeVar Ball had to
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: get his foot amputation.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: You saw that, Yeah, like d LeVar Ball.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, medical issues. Now, Ben, if you if you had to,
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: if you got to choose, would you amputate a hand
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: or a foot?
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a gooulish question. Cooper Loop and
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: as LeVar would.
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Say, stay in your lighting.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: But I would obviously pick a foot, because you know
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: you usually you can move around a little bit. Get
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: a fake foot. The hand you use all hand hand
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: hand Coop hand.
