• 1:52
  Speaker 4: thank you, not interested. So I was watching UFL That's
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: why it was on in the background. I'm preparing for
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: the Ben Malors Show. Oh little fill in extravaganza. These
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: late night hours, it's all I had. So I'm aching
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: for the NBA to be back. I'm not aching for
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: the NBA to be back on Amazon in particular, but
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: I am aking for the association to be back, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: it will be back in sort of full force on
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Friday night. That is the last installment of the play
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: in Tournament, so we will have the final two teams
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: that will make it into the playoffs.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: It's either gonna be the Warriors.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Or Suns, or it's gonna be the Hornets or the Magic.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: And I think the play in Tournament, if you're gonna
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: be fair about this, I think it shows the best
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: and the worst of Adam Silver all at the same time. Okay,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: so let's start with the good. There is some good,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: believe it or not. With Adam Silver. I would argue
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: that playing tournament has been fantastic. Playing tournament this year
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: has been awesome, and we've had four games so far.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately they've been on Amazon. So that's a strike against
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Adam Silver. I know he's trying to line the NBA's pockets,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: but meanwhile, the NBA fans have to suffer through technical
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: difficulties at a crucial stage of the Hornets game on Tuesday,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: and it's like, what what do you mean technical difficulties?
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: That's still a thing like this is an important stretch
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: at the end of the game over here. Yeah, it
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: was terrible with the Miami heat going on there, So
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not a fan of it being on Amazon. So's
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: it's lame to me. Thank goodness, we still have Inside
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the NBA. If we lost you know, Ernie and Shaq
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: and Kenny and Charles, if we lost that show because
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: they decided to just take the Amazon loot, I would
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: be even more heated about this. Thankfully we still have
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Inside the NBA on ESPN. But this whole Amazon thing,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I don't want to sound like the get off my
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: lawn guy, old guy who just text messaging what's that?
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I don't want to sound like that. But I can't
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: be the only one who hates this on Amazon. Man,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Like I like flipping channels, Yeah, you can't flip if
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: there's a game on Amazon.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: It is a no flip situation, no flipping tonight.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: You can't search something else, you can't flip over to
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: something else in a commercial. Nope, it's just on Amazon
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: the whole time. It doesn't look quite right, you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: it's not as clear. Some people have brought that up,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Others push back on it, so I can't tell the difference.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: I don't think your eyes are that good at this stage.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: It's clearly a difference. It's not nearly as clear as
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: it is on like an ESPN or you know, NBC
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: or whatever. It's just not the same picture, man, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: to have technical difficulties.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: So I'm not a fan of the NBA being on Amazon.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I don't have a problem streaming stuff on a tablet,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: you know, I have no problem with it on my phone.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I do that all the time. Not a huge issue.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I do love to flip around, and streaming is not
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: flip friendly. But man, when you put it on your TV,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I am not a fan whatsoever. So strike against Adam
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Silver for having the NBA on Amazon. Not a fan whatsoever.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Huge strike against Adam Silver for what's happened with LaMelo Ball.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: So you know, we wouldn't have had this whole LaMelo
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Ball fiasco if we didn't have the play in tournaments, right, So,
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: I think the playing tournament has been fantastic. I will
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: give Adam Silver before I crush this freaking I will
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: give Adam Silver a little bit of kudos because I
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: think the play in tournament has been fantastic. And this
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: hasn't been the only year that it's been really good,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: but this year in particular, we've had four games so
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: far and three of them have been classics.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: We're talking like overtime games.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: The Blazers pulled one out against the Suns that was insane.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: That that overtime game where the Hornets pulled it out
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: with dirty Lamello ball and his cheap shot tactics against
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: BAM and Miami, there's still a great game. It goes
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: into overtime, just craziness ensued at the end of regulation.
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: At the end of overtime, it's a great basketball game,
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: highly entertaining.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And last night with Chef Curry doing.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: His thing against the Clippers, man, it's gonna be hard
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: to be a Clippers fan. My gosh, what keeps you
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: going at this point? But the Playing Tournament has been fantastic.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: So that was the brainchild of Adam Silver. It happened
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: under his watch, so you gotta give him credit for that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know who is still like, oh, the Playing Tournament.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: You've had three out of four games that have been
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: awesome and the one game that wasn't truly awesome was
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: still okay, the Sixers in Magic that's still a close
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: game with about three minutes left. So it has been
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a great play in tournament this year. So props to
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: Adam Silver for that. Now, when it comes to roasting
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Adam Silver. This Lamello Ball situation is just a joke, man.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: So LaMelo Ball, you go way back to Tuesday night.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: It seems like two weeks ago at this point, right,
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: You go back to Tuesday night and LaMelo Ball intentionally
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: grabs the leg of Bam out of Bayo and just
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: yanks it back.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Poor Bam falls right to the floor, hard, bruised back.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It's got a contusion over here, right, doesn't finish the game,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: can't get back into the game early in the second quarter.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: No more Bam and LaMelo Ball. No officials saw it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: They can't review it. More on that in the second
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: and so LaMelo Ball finishes the game. He scores the
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: winning basket, and the Hornets win, and the Miami Heat
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: season is over. Just done, pack it in one, two, three,
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: can coon?
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: It's over. And so the league was reviewing this whole thing.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Should we suspend LaMelo Ball for the next game that's
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: gonna be on Friday night.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: When the playing tournament, you know, picks back up again.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: So should LaMelo Ball be out there when the Hornets
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: are taken on the Magic And so shockingly, the league
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: reviews this all right, it's dot the i's crossed, the
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: t's up thirty five thousand dollars fine, no suspension. It's
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: been upgraded to a flagrant two foul. By the way,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: So if they caught this during the game, that would
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: have meant LaMelo would have been ejected at that point,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: which is absolutely what should have happened. Who that watches
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: the NBA with any regularity or anyone who just pays
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: attention to like NBA headlines, who's surprised that Adam Silver
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: did not drop the hammer? That would be no one
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: is surprised. No one is surprised whatever, because he never
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: does it.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: It's so weird.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Man like he came in with an iron fist, Donald
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Sterling get the hell out of here, and we're like,
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: whoa new sheriff in town. Since then, he has been
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: a lamb. He has been a substitute teacher.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: No. And it makes me think of David Stern.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Right, David Stern, I think would have suspended LaMelo ball.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: I don't know for sure if that would have happened,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: but I do think it would have. I feel like
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: it would have because you go back remember the series
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: between the Suns and the Spurs, and this was after
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: the malice in the palace and Adams I'm sorry. David
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Stern was anti fighting, anti skirmishes, no bad blood. We're
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: not escalating anything. If any player on the bench walks
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: onto the court when there's an altercation, you are suspended,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: no questions asked. And there was a situation in that
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Spurs Sun series where there were a couple of Sons
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: players who literally had like a big toe barely on
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the court, and David Stern's like that, sorry, you know
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: the rules suspense shown. So I think that David Stern
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: would have suspended LaMelo Ball. But Adam Silver, no, no
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: suspension from Adam Silver. Adam Silver is like, well, I
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: don't know. That seems like a little bit too much
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: over here, and let's just air on the side of leniency.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Let's just do it. So if you're keeping score.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball fined thirty five thousand dollars for a quote,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: unnecessary and reckless contact with Bam out of bio. So
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: he was fined for unnecessary and reckless contact. And then
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: he was fined twenty five thousand dollars for dropping an
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: F bomb in the postgame in the postgame interview, So
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: thirty five g's for intentionally tripping bam by to Bio
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: or grabbing his leg to make him fall, and then
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: twenty five thousand dollars for dropping an F bomb.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: So in the NBA's finding.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Right here, they're saying that the tripping of bam Out
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: to Bio causing him to fall straight to the floor,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: bruising his back not being able to continue in the game.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: That's like marginally a little.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: Bit worse than dropping an F bomb, is what the
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: NBA is saying, which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. So
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: this is the bad with Adam Silver. The good, Hey,
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: we get a play in tournament. It's been fantastic, all right, cool,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: it's on Amazon. Well that sucks. That's on Adam Silver.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And the LaMelo thing where he's allowed to play on
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Friday is a joke and it shows that we still
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: have a substitute teacher that's calling the shots and has
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: really no backbone whatsoever. It does remind me, is it
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Melissa McCarthy. I think she's in the heat. You ever
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: see the Heat, Lorena, it's with a Sandra Bullock and
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Melissa McCarthy.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I think I'm saying the one where they're like shooting
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: people yeah.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like, uh, or is it the fuzz?
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: No, yeah, you're right, it's the heat, the heat, right,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: or they're kind of like undercover and they're trying to
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: figure out Yeah, yeah, yeah. But there's a scene where
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: Melissa McCarthy is talking to the captain and she's trying
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: to find his balls, and I swear, I think of
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Adam Silver. I think of Adam Silver every time I
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: grabbed the audio for you. Here's Melissa McCarthy in the heat.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: Have anyone seen the captain's balls? Let me know, they're
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: about this big, a lot tinier. They're like a pee
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: or like a like a ball bearing or like if
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: you've ever seen a mouseball got half that size. Incredibly tiny.
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: They're like really really tiny little girl balls, and little
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: girls had balls, So I can find little tiny girl
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: balls that are so tiny and shriveled up.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Let me know, because I'll put them right back up.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: He strode them.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: I swear, if you like, you just make that whole
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: speech about Adam Silver. I think it's on points. I
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: think it does a great job describing what we've had,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: largely from him as the NBA commissioner.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: Little mouse balls, Yeah, totally.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: It's totally what it's been. Now.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: The funny thing at the end of this, so Eric Spolstra,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: the head coach of the Miami Heat, Now I'm gonna
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: take you back to Tuesday because it matters for the
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: here and now. Okay, I know Tuesday feels like ancient history,
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: but this was Spoe after the game on Tuesday, right,
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Miami loses, They lose by one point in overtime. Their
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: season is over, and he is not pleased. He's not
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: pleased that LaMelo Ball wasn't kicked out of the game
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: for what he did to Bam.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: This is what Eric Spolster said on Tuesday.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's cute. I don't think it's funny.
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: I think it's a stupid play. It's a dangerous play.
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: Obviously our best players out. I'm not making an excuse.
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: The Hornets played great, you know, and they made those
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: plays down the stretch. We had our opportunities to win.
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: I just that's a shame. You know, you should be
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: penalized for that. I don't think that belongs in the game.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: You know, tripping guys, you know shenanigans, and you know
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: Curtis was there. It's his responsibility to see that, and
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: if it's not his responsibility, then Zach's got to see it.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: If you know, somebody has got to see that, and that,
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: you know, he should have been thrown out of the game,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: you know for that.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Okay, So that's what Eric Sposter said on Tuesday. Now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: this is what he said on Thursday. He said, I
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: didn't think that he needed to be penalized more moving forward.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: So like, in terms of he thought that LaMelo should
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: have been kicked out of the game on Tuesday against
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the Miami Heat. But as far as hey, should LaMelo
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: be suspended for Friday's game against the Magic, Eric Sposter says, no,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I don't think he needed to be penalized more moving forward.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think that would make sense. He went on
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: to say, I don't think he's a dirty player. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: just think in that moment all things can be true.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: It was a dirty play and a dangerous play. It
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: should have been caught at that moment, but it wasn't,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: and then you know, you move on. It's just like, okay,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: so I I sort of get where he's coming. What
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: he's basically saying is what good does that do the
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Miami Heat Now right, the mellow should have been it
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: should have been a flagrant too. In that game, he
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: should have been kicked out of the game against the
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Miami Heat. Now we're talking about suspending him for the
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: next game against Orlando, and Spoe was like, nah, let
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: him play against Orlando.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: What do I care about.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I think he's just he's got tunnel vision in thinking
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: about the Miami Heat and that's that. But I'll tell
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: you what should have happened in this whole thing. You
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: need to go to replay. You gotta have the ability
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: to go to replay if you can see it like
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: once or twice at home and you're like, wow, that
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: is such a dirty play, Like that's there's no place
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: in the game for that. Why can't the NBA officials
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: go to the monitor or like the NFL does it,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: They're gonna they're as I think they're implementing that this
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: this season. Is they can they can basically be radioed
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: in right when it comes to replay assist replay assist,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I believe we'll have the ability to kick a guy
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: out if he did something improper, Like it doesn't have
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: to be a whole thing. You don't have to have
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: the officials in the NBA go to the monitor, turn
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: it around like it's not nineteen ninety eight anymore. You
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: should just have replay assist catch that, and then figure
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: it out from there.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Streamline it. Let's move this along.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: It shouldn't take a day and a half, but you
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: should have the ability to review it right then and
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: there and to come up with any punishment that you
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: see fit right then and there. It doesn't do any
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: good after the game to say we've upgraded it to
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: a flagrant two and he's not suspended for the next game.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: That does absolutely no good whatsoever. You find him a
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: little bit more than the amount of the fine for
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: him dropping an F bomb.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: It's just so silly. You've got to.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Have the ability to replay these things that impact games.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball shouldn't have continued playing that game against the
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Miami Heat. He was allowed to, and it's a crock.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: So I think that Adam's sover is weak and spineless
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: and has little girl balls. Just like Melissa McCarthy said,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: I think LaMelo should be suspended for the upcoming game.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: There's no place in the game for what he did.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: But what really should have happened. You have to have
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: the ability to go to replay and punish him in
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: that specific game. It doesn't do the Miami Heat any good.
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: If he suspended against the Magic, it does the Heat
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: some good. If LaMelo was kicked out of the game
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday against the Heat, that's exactly what should have happened.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: All right, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: is your phone number. We are often running here, militia.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: We got a lot to get to. I'll tell you what.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Getting fired up. We got ball to talk about. Lots

• 18:03
  Speaker 4: We'll get back to the Association NBA playoffs right around
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: the corner. I'm excited for the play in tournament. The
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: last installment here. A couple of things to get to.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: There's some crazy stories also. There's one story that is
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: so ridiculous it almost seems completely made up. We got
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a former football player posing as NFL players to get
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: about twenty million dollars in loans. Crazy like, it doesn't
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: even sound real. But I will get to that as
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: the evening rolls along as well. Coming up next, Keep rolling, rolling, rollin' Wow.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: You know what it reminds me. You know, there's this
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: burlesque show in Vegas, Lorena is called the Empire Strips Back,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: you know, and when they did because Roland makes me
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: think of Limp Biscuit, and it was another Limp Biscuit
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: song called Nookie Yeah, and they switch it to I
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: did it All for the Wookie right, because it's the
• 19:03

• 20:48
  Speaker 4: got it done right here with h don't impress me much.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: Some of my songs in the system, they're like ghost buttons, right,
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: so it's like, oh, this is a song, but there's
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: no audio attached to it. Uh huh, that's what happened
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: with the last one.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: You must have really wanted to play this to remember.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: You know, it's one of a you know, one of
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: the artists that we've bonded with.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this doesn't sound like the original.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Am I here? Is my hearing wrong?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Or why does it sound like the new like sort
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: of ed m version, you know what I mean? Like
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: it seems dressed up a little bit.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Does it not? Okay, maybe it doesn't seem like the
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: original to me? Is this the original? It sounds dressed
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit. It's the original. Wow, I didn't realize
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: it sounded like that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: Wow, I have no it sounds way poppier than the
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: original to me, sounded a lot more country.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe I have it cranked up at full volume when
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: I listened to and that's a little quieter.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe it is.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: That could have been it, That definitely could have been it.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Let me get to the militia here in a minute.
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: I do have an idea. Okay, I want you guys
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: to tell me if I'm onto something here. You think
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: I'm just you know, stupid with this observation. So there
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: have been a couple of contracts in the WNBA. Bear
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: with me, it's another WNBA thing. But I'll make it
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: quick and painless, and you might even agree with me.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: So Asia Wilson with the Las Vegas Aces, she's fantastic.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: She just signed a three year, five million dollar supermax contract.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Three years, five million dollars Supermax. Okay, the FISA Collier.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: There was news on Thursday night she's staying with the
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Minnesota Lynx, a one point four million dollar supermax deal.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: One year, one point four million dollars supermax. I think
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: the WNBA needs to avoid using that word supermax.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: That's not smart at all. Now follow me on this one. Okay.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Celtic star Jason Tatum, he signed a three hundred and
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: fifteen million dollar super max contract. Okay, now that that's
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: a supermax. Okay, one point four million dollars Supermax.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: No.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Like, the point is, you don't want to make your
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: own league seem small.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: Just don't do that. Here's my idea, Okay.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: And I'm not expecting the WNBA to have the same
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: amount of money that the NBA has. The NBA has
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: had far more years to grow the game, grow the money.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: It's a work in progress. With the WNB.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: They're making significant strides, but no one in their right
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: mind would expect the WNBA to be on the same
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: level as the NBA ratings wise, financially, attendance, all that stuff,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: TV ratings, all of that. Okay, I'm not this is
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: the thought. Isn't to like hammer the NBA for not
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: being on the same level. That would be a stupid takeaway.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: The takeaway is when someone hears super Max contract, they're
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: used to hearing numbers in the high two hundred million
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: dollar range, the three hundred million dollar range. There's been
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: a lot of super Max contracts in the in the NBA.
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: So when you hear the WNBA, Nafisa Collier, who's magnificent,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: one of the faces of the league, one point four
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: million dollars Supermax deal, Like, that's just just a punchline.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: It's a joke. There are comments left and right on
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: X where it's like Supermax I fell over when I
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: heard that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: You just don't want to put yourself in that position.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: If you're the w and WNBA. Here's my thought, here's
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: what I think they should use instead. Okay, you tell
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: me if you think I'm ridiculous or not. Premiere Premiere contract,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: different terminology. It doesn't have the same takeaway. When you
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: if if if the headline is the real headline.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Let's just doctor it a little bit.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Sources the FISA, Collier signs with Links on a one
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: point four million dollar premiere contract. I think that lands
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: so much better. You don't have the takeaway of super Max.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: Oh at one point four super mas.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Wow, you don't have that. That's better for the WNBA,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: is it not?
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: I that's what you're saying. That makes perfect sense. Thank
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: you don't highlight how small your league is?
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Yes, right, you're you're putting a gigantic spotlight on We
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: don't have hardly any money.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: I mean that's pennies compared to those other contracts that
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: you mentioned.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Why would you use the same terminology?
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Why you need to highlight how much your league is growing?
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, that's right. And instead you're using the same
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: terminology service.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: It's not good. It's not smart.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: And just back up a word that it means the
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: same thing as Supermax. But you're not saying Supermax. It
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: lands totally differently.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: What about Wumbo Jumbo I'd be good.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's try it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: Asia Wilson, the WNBA's first four time MVP, has signed
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: a three year, five million dollar Wumbo Jumbo contracts.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: Wow, what do you think? I mean, I think it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: better than super Max.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: I think you could throw almost anything but Supermax and
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: it would be an improvement. My idea is Premiere Lorraina
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: goes with Wumbo jumbo. I think either way you got
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: a winner right.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: There, you got anything Brie.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: You're throwing a phrase, a catch word. What do you
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: think off the top of your head?
• 26:58
  Speaker 8: I was just gonna say, win is the w n
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: b A. Actually, ever, like followed through with being smart
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: with their any business and financial and verbiage communication decision.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: So what expectations do you really have when it comes
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: to them actually like being very you know, thoughtful about
• 27:16
  Speaker 8: what they're saying.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: So well, hey, that's true, that's absolutely true. But it's
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: it's a new day. It's a new it's a new day.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: You know. We gotta correct.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Some stuff over here. They've stepped in it before in
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: the past. It's all about the here and now it's
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: about the future. We gotta we gotta tighten some screws
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: around here, you know.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: So let's make a good decision or something.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but get away from super Max. That it's horrible terminology.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: It just turns your league into a punchline. Why would
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: you do that to yourself?
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: Like, at least the the NBA, And it took some time,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: but they've tried to really hammer home that, uh, the
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: that ownership owners are. They don't refer to them as owners,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: they refer to them as governors.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: A lot of people think that's stupid, but they've they've
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: tried to hammer that home for a number of years.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: It's like trying to turn like change the terminology. It's
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: not gonna be like a snap of the fingers and
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: everybody falls in line. But if I'm the WNBA, I
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: would make it abundantly clear. I would actually put it
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: in my CBA. I'd be like, that's the actual terminology
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: the media would follow if the media work up, sorry,
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: if the WNBA worked with their media partners of like, listen, ESPN.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Here's what we're trying to do.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, when we say super max, it sounds like a
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: joke because the FISA Collier signs for.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: One point four million dollars.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: People are used to hearing Jason Tatum signing for three
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifteen million dollars. Okay, so we're not gonna
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: use Supermax. We're gonna go get away from that terminology.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: We're gonna create something different. We're just gonna call it
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: a premier deal. It means the same thing, but it
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: sounds different, it lands differently, So we'd appreciate it if
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: you just when you put it out, there's premier deal.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: It's in our CBA. That's what it's actually referred to
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: as NBA has a Supermax deal. We don't have that.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: We have a premiere contract. Like that's basically a max deal,
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: but we're not saying max because it makes it sound
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: like small potatoes, cool cool, way better, way, better approach
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: night and day, better than using the same terminology. Like
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: you could play games with what what percentage is one
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: point four million dollars of you know, three hundred and
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: fifteen million dollars. I don't even know. I don't know
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: how to find that out. I have to google things.
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: It would be a whole thing. I can't find it
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: on the fly. But it's like, I don't know, in
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: the neighborhood of two hundred and seventy percent less or
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: something just insanely.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: Crazy, like, well, why would you do that? You just
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: sound small. It's not smart, not smart at all all. Right,
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: let me get out to the phones.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: Here the militias lined up. They want to check in.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: I believe I guy jameson Taco was out there. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: want to hear what James has to say. What's going on, James,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: you're on Fox Sports Radio. I don't know.
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: I don't know if you saw what happened Baltimore last
• 30:08
  Speaker 10: night baseball game between Baltimore and Cleveland. But Baltimore was
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: behind ninth inning, four zero and the picture for Cleveland
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: had no hitter going through eight idots. Yeah, So to
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: Baltimore home crowd of Baltimore, they turned against their own team.
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: They start cheering for the Cleveland picture because any wanted
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: to win this of no hitter in person? Yeah, So
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: by character for you, have you ever turned against your
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: own team if opportunity to witness history being made in person?
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: Wow, it's a great question, James, that really and I
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: saw what you're talking about. Just like to put a
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: bow on what you're talking about. So the Cleveland picture
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: he's trying to he's trying to get a no hitter
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: for the first time forever. Right, I think they're the
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: last They're the longest drought. Now is the Cleveland Guardians
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: now since their last no hitter, it's been forever, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: he didn't get it done, you know, he gave up
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: a hit. And then Baltimore made it interesting, right, they
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: had they scored two runs, they had two runners on base,
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: and it looked like they're maybe gonna get a base
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: hit and tie the thing up. And the second baseman
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: made a nice play and the Guardians won the game.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: But that's a brilliant question.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: I no, man, I can't think off the top of
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: my head. I'll put it this way. I'm a Saint
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Louis Cardinals fan. We'll keep it with baseball, especially baseball.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: If if my team was pretty much out of contention,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: I would think in the ninth inning, James, if my
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: team were down four to nothing, right and I had
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: a chance.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: To see a no hitter.
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: And there are other dynamics like, for instance, this year,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: the Saint Louis Cardinals are going no where. Okay, if
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: I were in attendance, what I like you said on
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: my team, I really wouldn't even look at it like that.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: I'd be like, I'm a fan of baseball and not
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: just a fan of the Saint Louis Cardinals. I would
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: like to see history being made. I probably would in
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: that in that scenario.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, if this is.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: A a arrive like I hate the Chicago Cubs, I do.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: No way I would ever root for them ever, ever,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: ever like being in attendancying history. No, I'm rooting against
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: you every single time. Sorry, So I have limits. And
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: if this is an important game, Saint Louis needs to
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: win it, you know they're they're in a Pennant chase
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: like no way, no, but in a lost season where
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: they're really going nowhere, Yeah, I would, would you?
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: Yeah? I would?
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, No, good stuff, great question, James, very good.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: I like that. I like how you put that. Would
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: you turn on your on your team?
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: You know I I I disagreed with my guy Arne
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Arnie Spanier. Arnie does a great job. I call him
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: chef boy Arnie. That's my silly nickname for Arnie. But
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Arnie's a great dude. I visited him in Vermont with
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: my World Travels, went to his place, you know, watch
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: hoops with Arney's an awesome dude, awesome, awesome guy, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: we disagreed on one thing. He was hammering the Saint
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: Louis Cardinals for cheering Albert Poolholes. So Albert Pooholes was
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: a member of the Angels at the time, and he
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: was back in Saint Louis, and Saint Louis gave him
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: a crazy ovation. You can imagine, right, this is Albert Poolholes,
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: like three time NLMVP the first ten seasons. He's averaging
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: a three hundred batting average, thirty home runs, one hundred RBIs.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: It's like clockwork, you know, all time Cardinal great one rings.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: He's got numerous championship right like, and he goes back
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: to Saint Louis and the Saint Louis fans cheer him
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: like crazy, and Arnie was.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Just like, oh, you're turning on your team. What do
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: you doing? What?
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: I thought he was freaking crazy. I still think he's crazy.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: You could absolutely cheer a former player who starred for
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: your team. You're just showing appreciation for the guy. You're
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: not turning on your team and saying, go Angel screw
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: You're not saying that at all.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: But yeah, some fans they look at it like that.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: They get really territorial. But that's an awesome question by James.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: I put it like this, if it.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: If it put my team at a disadvantage, then no,
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't do that. But if it really didn't put
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: my team at a disadvantage, would I root for another
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: team to do something historic against my favorite team?
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I would.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I would do that.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: I think baseball lends itself to that more than any sport.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: Think about that. You got one hundred and sixty.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: Two games, you know what I mean, Like, you drop
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: a game in April, there's so much runway right left
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: to go to make that up, Like, oh yeah, it's yeah.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: You got a chance to see a no hitter. I'd
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: say a perfect game. Perfect game is almost a no brainer.
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: You've got like twenty five ish of those in MLB history.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: You got a chance to witness a perfect game, and
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: you turn that down. Like I'd be like, you know,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: if I'm not outright going like, come on, guy, let's
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: go get another out against my favorite team, internally, I'd
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: be like, I kind of hope he gets another out here.
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: It was amazing. What's going on here? It's a great
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: question by James, really good stuff. Yeah, shame on me.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: My job as a show host, I should be coming
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: up with stuff like that instead, I've I've got you know,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: premiere contract for the w NBA. That's what I brought
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: to the table here tonight. Man, small potatoes compared to James.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: James brought his A game here. You know, he's crushing it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Very nice. Let me go to Cardiac Stanley. He's been
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: hanging with me from Ohio. I appreciate your patient's Cardiac Stanley,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: what's on your mind these early morning hours.
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't do that, but if it really didn't put
• 36:27
  Speaker 10: my team at a disadvantage for what, I root for
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: another team to do something historic?
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I would do that.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: I think baseball that more than any sport to think about.
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: He got one hundred and sixty two games me.
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: Cardiac Stanley's replaying. I was agreeing with myself until I
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: realized it's me.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like.
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a chance, perfect game, perfect games almost no greater.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Let's as random call ever, let me hold on back up,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: let me try to disagree with myself and you turn
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: that down? Turn that down? Yeah you sound ridiculous, right.
• 37:23
  Speaker 10: Like kind of Let me get to this mother out here.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Man, No, I wouldn't be hoping. No, that's I didn't
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: think it was that great of a question.
• 37:32
  Speaker 10: James show I should be coming up with stuff. Okay,
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: I've got I did.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I brought premiere contract to the table. I think that's fine.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: You know, I brought the crazy story to the table
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: about the dude impersonating NFL players.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: That was strong.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna have to disagree with myself. I
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: do think I brought it tonight. Who here's the question, though,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: who who calls in to just play audio of the host?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I didn't even know that.
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: Was happening for like ten seconds.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I was like, I didn't either.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: I didn't either, And I'm like, wait a minute, that
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: sounds strangely familiar. What how do I know this voice?
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's me. That's what's happening.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: That's kind of odd.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Hmm. That's a new one right there. No one's ever
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: done that I've had.
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: We have a wide range of colors over the years,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: man wide range. The most random. Oh, I'll tell you
• 38:39

• 38:41
  Speaker 4: one of my most random stories happened in Portland. Okay,
• 38:45

  Speaker 5: Side and a half minutes, hold on, kick you out?
• 38:50

• 39:13
  Speaker 4: like the NBA Draft or something. So some other guys
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: were doing their show there. So I went there and
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: just hung out, just hanging out watching my coworkers do
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: their show, and this girl.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Walks into me from behind. Oh.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: I'm just standing there like, you know, against the wall,
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: and this girl just boomed, like just nailed, like walks
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: into me from behind.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: I kind of looked at her and I was like,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: what was that about?
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: You know?
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: And so after after the show ends, I see this
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: girl and she's there and we were just talking. She's
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: there with her brother, I believe, And it turns out
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: they told me they were big Philadelphia Eagles fans and
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: they were upset that I said, the Eagles who had
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: just won a Super Bowl. This is like the Nick
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Foles Super Bowl. They beat the Patriots, and I said
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: the next season they wouldn't even make the playoffs. And
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: they were mad about my prediction that they wouldn't make
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. And so what they did. Her brother was
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: recording this whole thing. He's recording his sister walking into
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: me because they're upset about my prediction, and they were
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: trying to bait me. They were trying to bait me
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: into whatever, doing something inappropriate, like yelling at her.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, I don't know.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're trying to set a bear trap that I
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: did not walk into because they were mad about an Eagles.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Prediction of mine.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: And I was like, you guys are psychotic. You're psychotic
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: That's crazy. What's wrong with you guys? It's a prediction.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Who cares? Yeah, And they took it to that level.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: So I've had some random experiences, but I've never had
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: an experience where someone replayed my own sports takes from
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: like five minutes prior.
• 41:14
