• 1:46
  Speaker 1: This portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: part by our friends at ty Iraq. We love tyre
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Rak and they seem to love us. For over forty years,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive. People like Alf
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the Alien Opliner and Ferg dog Ship fast and free
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com the way
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that tire buying should be.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: So our lead this hour is from baseball.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But then there was no game. I know that we're
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: doing the post mortem on the Great Escape, the great
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: jail break of the All Star Game. Now we know
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: what happened. We were here to document it. Kyle Schwarber
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the fight, and Phil was the star. He was the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: first ever MVP as far as a position player to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: not get a hit in the actual All Star Game
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and be named MVP. But he won the swing off.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: More on that in a minute. Game was a tie
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: until the swing off. Now, many nice things have been written,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: many nice things have been said into microphones about the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Dinger party. You always have the end to the right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You got the end of the yang, and in this
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: case it would be the Komodo dragon in the room.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And the storyline continues to be the biggest stars of
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: baseball getting roasted for skipping town. Now, so what did
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball do?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Did you see this?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Were you paying attention? You were not paying attention. It's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a bad job by you. So they circled the wagons,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is what they did. Now, you always have the jock sniffers,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the fanboys. They always support the athletes no matter what.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: But then you had Aaron Judge, Shoe a Otani called out,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: they pulled the Great Houdini Act, and Abra kadabra.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Vanished before the thing was even over.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: They couldn't even stand out in the field in their
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: street clothes because they were on planes, trains, and automobiles.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: They were out of there. Now, they were not alone.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: However, when you're the faces of baseball, you're the ones
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: getting roasted. And both Judge and Otani bailing out of Atlanta.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Like it was sheboygan before the swing off.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So baseball media elites had run around, they were doing
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: damage control, trying to downplay the situation. I saw a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: lot of that in the baseball conversation.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Was not that big a deal.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't murder, it's their vacation, it's the All Star break,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you know, give them a break.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: All that a right, A lot of.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Excuse making by the people in the baseball media, the elites.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question what's really happening behind
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: closed doors? In the story the Fiasco with Aaron Judge
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and shohel Tani among the defenders, what's happening behind closed doors?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: So I've got fire hydrant, storybook circus, and Churchill downs,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: we are going to make ballpark nachos in a helmet,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: which you have to eat quick because if you don't
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: eat quick, it gets all saggy and the chips are chewy,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and nobody wants chewy chips.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Nobody wants that. So a what's going on behind.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Closed doors is that it is a terrible look for
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the powers that be in baseball it's a bad look
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: for Aaron Judge and Shoeotani, and you are the brand
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: ambassadors of a multi billion dollar business. Judge has a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty million dollar contract with the Bronx Bombers,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Otani seven hundred million, although most of it won't be
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: paid till later because the People's Republic of California. But
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: with the Dodgers and Otani's the international man of mystery. Now,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: while technically Baseball allowed this to happen, it was scheduled.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: They had it all planned out. You don't just go
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: down to the airport and jump on a private plane.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The logistics of that, getting the crew and the pilot
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: ready to go, you have to have it all planned out.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: There are limits on when planes can take off at
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: certain airports and whatnot. So this was all planned out
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: way in advance. It was, as we said, scheduled. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: now the people at Baseball have deputized the useful, well
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: not really useful, they're useless, useless idiots. The people in
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: baseball media that are in the tank for the league,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the media one percenters, and they've said, listen, boys, you've
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: been deputized. You have to clean up our mess. And
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: they said, okay, that's right, major League Baseball opening up
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the old fire hydrant.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: And what did they do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: They started pumping out propaganda rather than call out the players.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Rather than say, hey, fellas, maybe you should just hang.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Around to the end of the game just in case.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's one night, major League Baseball rolled
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: out the loyal media lap dogs to run interference, queue
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: up the deep think piece about how it's actually noble
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: to leave the All Star Game early give other people
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the opportunity. It's just an old fashioned disinformation campaign. It's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: all spin, spin, spin, spin, spin, all of it. So
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: it's the same playbook you get in politics, right, just
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: gaslight everybody into thinking this is okay, it's okay. Spoiler alert,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: spoiler y, it's not.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: It's not. It's not major League Baseball.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: They want the stars to play, and for the most part,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: they do play in the All Star Game unless you're
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: onon SODO and can't even make the All Star team.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: But then Baseball.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Also wants the star players to They want to cater
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: everything so they can get their nice tropical vacation. Keep
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: in mind, if you're a baseball player, it's kind of
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: like a teacher, except you get paid a lot more money.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: It's worked into the scared It's literally baked into the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: schedule that you're going to get three or four months
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: off a year.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So I don't know what you do.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Maybe you drive a truck, maybe you work in a factory.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: I do talk radio. I don't get three months off
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: a year. I don't get four months off for you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Do you do you know anyone that gets three or
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: four months off a year to enjoy a nice downtime.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Because I don't. I don't.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I don't get it in this job. I mean, hell,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I take a day off. You people lose your freaking mind.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: You know, you send me nasty letters and correspondence on
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: social media. So I get that baseball is trying to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: thread a needle. But the players, I don't feel bad
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: for the players. They live the life of Riley. They
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: travel in luxury, they stay at luxury hotels, and they
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: get three or four months off year. It does not
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: seem like hardship to me to ask them to stay
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to the end of the home run derby. And so
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Baseball's got one foot in, they got one foot out,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and they do the hokey pokey. So Aaron Judge and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Otani cannot be participating. They can't be participating, can't be
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: bothered to participate in the swing off or even stick around.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: But then baseball wants the fans to stick around because
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: it's very important for the fan to watch.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: The entire thing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Get all that all right, now turn the page. I
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: thought this next one was kind of amusing. So there's
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a bit of a debate. It hasn't gained a lot
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of traction yet, but the question is will Major League
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Baseball keep the swing off, meaning the name swing off.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Or are they going to change that name going forward.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Now, keep in mind there will be some pushback from
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the players union because Aaron Judge and Otani are getting
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: ripped apart for leaving early. The union agreed to this format,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: so now some of their players are getting ripped because
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: they left early, and so in the unions going, oh,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: does this mean these guys have to stay to the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: end of the All Star Game? So there'll be some
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: some pushback on that. But as far as the name thing,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: we bring this up because of a grassroots campaign on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the socials, the term swing off is now underseas. Now
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I think it's kind of a lame name. Anyway, we
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: were going it's just a home run derby. But the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: term swing off is what baseball used. Now, why is
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it under siege? Did you consume any of this? It
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: turns out the internet trolls, the keyboard commandos. Ah, yes,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you know who they are, digital degenerates, some.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Of them real, some of them not.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: They are now making a lot of jokes and not
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: just any kind of jokes about the swing off.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: What do you think they're tying into the swing off?
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: That's right, Diddy jokes, Sean Ditty Combs, right, the bad boy,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: bad boy. What you're gonna do, What you're gonna do
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: when they come for you. So Sean Combs, who famously,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: we learned thanks to the high profile trial, he did
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: get out of most of the charges, but not all
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: of them. They called it. He called it a freak off. Right,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: That's why I was buying all the baby oil and
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. That has become the punchline for the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: swing off. It is a Diddy style freak off. And
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: so you've got a lot of people at baseball who
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: don't get out a lot, and they're very paranoid. They
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: live in the matrix and in the infinite wisdom of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: some people at Major League Baseball, and they just have
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: nothing but anxiety, nothing but anxiety about being memed into
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: some kind of oblivion and all that. So there's some
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: chatter they're going to change the name of the swing off,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: They're going to rebrand it. Now, this is right out
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of the storybook circus portion of Disneyland. That's where you'll
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: find the Dumbo, right, Dumbo, the flying Elephant.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: So let me get this straight.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: So Baseball and the people who are in the marketing
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: pr part of baseball are supposedly quivering.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: If what we're hearing is right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: They're quivering because a few degenerates made a joke about
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Diddy and his party habits and compared it to Major
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: League Baseball and a term they used, the swing off,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: which is too close to the freak off.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: So okay, So I have some.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Advice, major League Baseball. Grow a spine, right, Take the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: blue pill, not that blue pill. That's what did he took.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Take the other blue pill and unplug. Right, every time
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you bend to the trolls, you hand.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Them the blueprint. You should not do that. Right. In fact,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: when you.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Bow down to the trolls. What you do is you
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: allow them to redraw your lines. Right, that's not feedback.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: That's sabotage, is what that is. And so the play
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: here is to ignore.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Them, right, just ignore them.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Now again, I think the name is rather stupid. But
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: you don't change it because it's that it's got a
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: connection to ditty. Okay, that's not why you change it, right,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: you don't all of a sudden said, well, wait a minute,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: those keyboard com are attacking us. We need to do no,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, just you don't need to worry about that. Okay,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: just unplug, turn off the Wi Fi. You're good, all right, now,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: last word, we now check the report card. That's right,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the report card. So the Major League Baseball All Star
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Game drew an average of seven point two million men, women,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: and children. That was on Fox, So it was actually down.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The ratings were down three percent from last year. However,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the ratings continue side by side among all the other
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: All Star events. It is the most watched All Star
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: game within the boundaries of the industrial complex of North
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: American sport. So question, what do the ratings show you
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: about Baseball's.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: All Star Game?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Like, what do they show you about Baseball's All Star Game.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So I'll go first, I'll go, and you can chime
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: in later. So they continue actually going in the wrong direction.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: They were down from last year, which I believe was
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: down from the year before, which was down from the.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Year before that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: The claim to fame, as we mentioned, is being head
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and shoulders above the other sports Basketball, NFL and NHL,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: and so that's what they're they're talking about. The Baseball
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: assures us that listen, we are the most watched all
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Star event, and so this is a big deal. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like going down to Churchill Downs and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: bragging you are the tallest jockey or you are the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: fattest jockey at Churchill Downs.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Right now, the NBA All Star Game is unwatchable.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Pooh, all right, the NFL Pro Bowl was so bad
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: they got rid of it. Now they play water balloon
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: toss and tic tac toe and that drew four point
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: seven I think they both drew about the same rating,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: four point seven millions. So baseball, which is plausibly still
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: a game when the guys aren't running off to the airport. Uh,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: the the amount of people watching higher higher. So yes,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Major League Baseball, congratulations you win the All Star ratings race,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: but it's really a win by default, is right. It
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: is like it's like a it's like saying I won
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: the beauty pageant, but nobody else showed up, Like everyone
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: else forgot it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: Was that day.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: It was I was on a Saturday. They thought it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: was on a Sunday. So I showed up on Saturday.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: And since no nobody else showed up, I am the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: beauty queen, right. Major League Baseball's All Star Game. It's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: it's's something about it here where you know what it's.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It's on a giant Swan inflatable, one of those floaty things,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: you know, And in summer here you're in the pool
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: and you can buy from from Walmart those giant Swan inflatables,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: and you just kind of laying there and you're having
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a drink and you're never going anywhere, a really going
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: you kinda you're not treading water because you're you're in
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the giant Swan inflatable, but you're not really doing much
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: that pool. By the way, you used to be out
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: in the ocean. You were out in the ocean, but
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: now it's just a pool. Now it's just a pool.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: This particular appointments. That's where they are, so you know,

  Speaker 1: Be so our lead this hour is from Pro boundcy Ball.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: We have some.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Movement on the High Speed Sports Wire NBA player on
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the Move sharpshooter Bradley Beal.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: It had been a rumor. Well it is now fact.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal and the Phoenix basketball team agreed to a
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: massive buyout the two years two years remaining on his
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Contractveal giving back thirteen point nine million.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: He will still walk.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Away with about ninety six million dollars give or take
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: prior to taxes. So he's got a lot of dough
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: coming his way. But he gives up thirteen point nine
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: million that the Phoenix basketball team owed him, and that
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: allows the Suns financial flexibility, which of course is code
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: for you. We think you blow and we want someone
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: else there on our roster. Now he's already found a
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: new employer. Bradley Beal has already found a new employer.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Did you see this? Maybe not?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe you tuned out. Now we are told that Bradley
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Beal who everybody wanted. For some reason, everybody wanted Bradley Beal,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and he has signed a two year, eleven million dollar
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: deal with the Clippers. Peez going to the Clippers that
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: includes a player option after he clears waivers. So let
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question, does this Bradley Beal signing does
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it move the needle for the Clippers. So I've got
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Spanish Vegas, Lounge Act and Tropicana and we will combine
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we are going to
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich of PB and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: J is what we're gonna make. So my first point here,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: number why I said number wa Yeah, Femi loves when
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: we do that. So Bradley Beal is a Clipper? Does
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that move the needle?
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Was the question?
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: And listen, I'm gonna I'm not gonna talk in hyperbole.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: It moves the needle absolutely about an inch. It moves
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: it about an inch the Clippers. Maybe you draw a
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: little bit of blood there, like the same thing applies, right.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: There is enough talent there, there's a championship roster. Until
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard Strain's a nostril, then what happens. But we
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: are pragmatic on this one, Like I don't love the player.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: He's got to prove that he's not just a stat
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: bandito and a guy that put up numbers in DC
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: on morbidly bad Washington teams. And he's got to prove
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: he can actually put up some numbers on a good team.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: He hasn't done it yet. Had a couple of opportunities
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the Suns were supposed to be good.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: He didn't do it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And I use the word pragmatic. I think that's the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: proper word. Let's be clear, this is a low risk,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: high reward move. If Bradley Beal is just half the
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: player he had been with the old Washington Bullets or Wizards. Uh,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: that's fine.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: He's not the savior. I mean, he is a risk.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: He's made out of glass and he's like a glass cannon,
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: and you know he's got all kinds of issues going
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: into TSA right, sets off soft tissue alarms.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: And all that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: But Bradley Beal is owed more cash than the GDP
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: of many small island nations out there. It's insane, ninety
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: plus million dollars. But that's the Sun's problem. That ain't
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: my problem, it's not your problem. And for the Clippers,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: he chose the Clippers, right. Bradley Beal had options. You
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: believe the chatter there were double digit playoff worthy teams
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: that all flirted played foot see with Bradley Beal, double
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: digit teams and he picked in the and he picked
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: the people's team.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: And so let that marinate.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: I know Rick Oh is having a tough time dealing
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: with and there's a lot of other people that are.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: I don't understand why would anyone would pick the Clippers.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: But Bradley Beal saw something and with Steve Balmers essentially
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: running a rehab clinic or down trodden basketball players, and
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't, but they've had a
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: whole host the players come through. Ben Simmons was on
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the team at the end of last year. Russell west
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Brick was there. And the difference here, and maybe it's
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: pure delusion and all that, but Balmer has so much
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: money he was able to use a laser printer and
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: chat GPT and quietly bring back the famous Spanish explorer
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: Ponstelyon as the trainer. So if anyone can unlock Bradley Beal,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: it is Ponstelllyone, the new lead trainer of the Clippers,
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and Bial he's still trying to find that fountain of youth.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He's not that old, but his body looks old and
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. And so the Clippers have this really
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: good cryo chamber, I'm sure. And it's just another former
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: All star mercenary who goes to the Clippers. Now, page two,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: let's get into the nitty gritty here. What do you say,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: why did Bradley Beal reject the Lakers? Lakers they were
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: all horny to get Bradley Beal over there in Lakerland
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: and he said no. He joined the Clips. So why
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: would you go to the people's team when Lebron is
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: out to get you. So this is more direct evidence
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that the Lakers, who people at one time described as
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the jewel of basketball royalty. That's why they wear purple Erican.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: So the Lakers, but they are a team right now
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: of not a lot of status. Right, players mostly politely decline. Right.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: It's like when you're kind of weird, uncle invites you
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: to dinner and I don't really want to see my uncle.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to go to dinner with my uncle. Like,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: guy's a loser.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal had again ten twelve playoff teams that were
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: texting him and calling him, and then the dust settles
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and he picked Kawhi Leonard and the Beard James Harden.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: He took the clips. Now, meanwhile, Acrosstown at the Church
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: of Lebron, like the Church of Lebron, the pews are
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: getting pretty empty over there. In terms of the new
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: players added, the Lakers are now the equivalent of that
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: fading Vegas lounge act.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: You know, It's funny when I'm driving around on the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: weekends with the wife and we drive by the Indian
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: casinos and we see the bands that are performing and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the comedians.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I always say, well, you're.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: At that point in your career where you're now doing
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: you're doing the casinos circuit at the Indian casinos. You've
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: now reached that point, right, It's like a Vegas residency.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: In this case, it's more like a Vegas.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Lounge act where you're running out of encores and all
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: that and oxygen and just a bad Vegas lounge act.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: But even the Hookah Luca, even his fat ass, can't
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: save the Lakers on this one.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: Luka Doncik could not close the deal with Lebron all right.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Bradley Beal rejected Luke, and Lebron didn't even hesitate. He
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: could have taken the exit right there at Figure Row,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: gotten down to skid Row where the Lakers play, waring
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: that purple and gold and rubbed elbows with Lebron and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Luca every night. He didn't do it. Why did he
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: do it? Well, the Lakers aren't cool, they don't matter.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: They're mostly a hospice for fading fading stars and all.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: That's like a retirement villa, nice retirement villa and all
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the Lakers they're kind of becoming like the Knicks. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: haven't won a championship since Kobe. They are all about
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: the marketing and that's about it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Good marketing.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I'll give him credit on that. They talk to talk,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: they don't walk the walk. And Bradley Beal, he was
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: at a fork in the road. At a fork in
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the road, which direction am I going to go? Bradley
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Beal saw the future and he had two la options
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and he said, I want to go in the hood
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: in Inglewood where the Clippers play, and I don't want
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to go to skid Row, And so he chose the top,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the team that has a pulse. Now, a lot of
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: things have to go right for the Clippers to win
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: the championship, but for any team to win the championship,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of things have to go right.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I believe in the multiverse, the Mallard multiverse, and in
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: the Mallard multiverse, there is a dimension where Kawhi Leonard
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: stays healthy and James Harden doesn't take two games off
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and Bradley Beal turns out to be
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the player that he had been in Washington and can.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Do it on a good team.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you got the ras Mataz right,
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you got the Razzle Dazzle now final point. So we
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: turn the page now to gambling. Now, as you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed, I enjoy gambling. I'm not a degenerate. I
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: enjoy gamb as the FEDS continue to poke and prod
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: at this particular point with the prop bet shenanigans going on. Now,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: this is a baseball story. It's a basketball stories. It
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: affects pretty much everything, everything in professional sports and in
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: college sports.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: But we're going to talk about the basketball part of it.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Because Commissioner Adam Silver, the half man, half alien. What
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: planet does the lizard person Adam Silver come from? So
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver broke his silence about the NBA and the
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: betting scandal, saying that the league is not not shutting
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: down gambling. They're not getting out of the gambling business
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: because they have a few bad actors, is essentially what
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: he implied. So where is your brain wave on this one,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver? Who did address the issue, And it's like, well,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: that's pretty much said, just a couple of bad actors.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: So I turned to the Mallor Rosetta Stone for guidance.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: The Mallow Rosetta Stone never wrong, and it translated what
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver said. It said, yes, we know, gambling is
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: somewhat compromising the underbelly of our business, the credibility of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: our sport, and for some eroding the trust of a
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: percentage of fans, and those are our customers. And it
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: may even be influencing many more bets.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Than we would like to admit.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: However, as they say at Tropicana, the juice, my.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Friends, is worth the squeeze. And here's why.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Because the gambling money is a pot of gold, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the house always wins. The house does not lose. Right now,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: you say, well, sometimes the house loses, but in the
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: end they always win.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: And if you're just getting money.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: From gambling and you're not the ones either taking the
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: money you're putting the bets down, you always So let's
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: be very clear. The NBA isn't just tolerating gambling. It's
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: now intertwined in the business of basketball. Gambling companies sponsor
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the broadcast and I don't have an issue with it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: But it's just the way it is. It's not going away.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: They don't ad space on the court and some of
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: these gymnasiums they even have official partnerships with the league. Now,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the referees, they don't have any gambling logos on the shirts.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I know Tim Donnie, he probably wishes he did have one,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: but you know it, just don't worry about that, right,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the algorithm is somehow working on that. And
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: by the way, the implication that it's just a few
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: bad actors, that is a phrase that you always use
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: when you're in the soup.
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: You always use it.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Remember I mentioned Tim Donnie, when Tim Donnie he was
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: involved in that. I think it was not just a
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: few bad actors. I think it was a lone wolf.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: That was the one they used, the lone wolf. But
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: we hear that phrase a few bad actors in Wall Street, politics, big.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Pharma, all of those things.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: And it's never they never say it's systemic. They never
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: want to say it's systemic. It's never the structure of
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: the foundation. It's just some cosmetic thing. It's just a
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: rogue ref over here. It's a crooked coach over there.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: It's some player that you had some kind of weird
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: thing on his phone. He's got a got a code
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: and he started a gambling account. It's never ever the leagues, Faull,
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: have you noticed that? Have you noticed it's never leaves
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: the sports leagues. They love to brag about how they
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: monitor these these gambling places, and they do.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of checks and balances.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And the main reason there's a lot of checking balances
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: is not because of the leagues. It's because the people
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that run the gambling houses have skin in the game,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: right they. As I've been told, I got some friends
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: that have listened to the show who are in that
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: business in the gambling world, work at sports books and whatnot.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: They've told me kind of how it works and what
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: they look for and what things set off alarm bells.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: And of course now everything's it's a lot easier.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Now with AI and monitoring things and Big Brother watching
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: and everything being done on the phones and all that.
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: But as I understand it, you know, what do I know?
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: But as I.
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Understand it, the main reason these guys get caught is because.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Of two things.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Loose lips and they can't control themselves if they stop chatting.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Because these guys they love to brag. Gamblers love the brag.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: We need more.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: If you're an introvert, you don't brag, right, you just
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: kind of keep to yourself.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: It's extroverts who are like.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Hey, I got this guy in the Cleveland Guardians and
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: he's in the tank, all right, So they love the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: brag about how I got this guy he's gonna throw
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a ball on a prop bet and then we're gonna
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: win the prop bet. Or I got this basketball player
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat and he's gonna miss this many
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: shots and.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: All that stuff, So they love the brat. That's the
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: first problem.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: The second problem is they simply bet too much, and
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: because they try to get the quick.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Score right, they want that quick score.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: If you just bet a nominal amount, it does not
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: raise red flax.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: Like there was a guy, the.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Most famous example recently, this Gibebroni on that he was
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: on Toronto Raptors. Right, so he's playing for the Toronto
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Raptors and he ends up getting caught. But the main
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: reason he got caught he talked about it. Right, the
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: loose lips sent gambling ships. The other problem was people
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: were betting ridiculous amounts of money because he was telling
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: people and they were telling other people. They were betting
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: massive amounts of money. Like it's an obvious reflect You
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: don't need AI, you don't need some kind of supercomputer
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: to know if some nobody on the Toronto Raptors is
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: getting more action than Lebron James on a prop. Chances
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: are there's some funny business going on. I'm just saying, right,
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And so that's the thing. These guys are always looking
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: for the big payday. But there is a world where
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: you don't tell anybody and you kind of keep it
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: on the down low, and you bet a nomenal amount
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: and you win every single time that person takes the court.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: You don't win a lot, but you win a little
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: and it adds up. It's study gains. But these losers, they.

  Speaker 4: Won't even do that.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: They have to go for the big score, and that's
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: how they end up getting caught, and they will continue

  Speaker 6: So it seems that Randy Moss is making the rounds
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: this time. In a radio interview, Moss was asked where
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: he'd rank Tyreek Hill in the pantheon of receivers, Moss said,
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: he's nowhere all time, but top five in today's game.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: Ben, is that harsh? No, that's reality. Listen, that's the
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: way it is.
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it has been amazing wide receivers in NFL history,
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill's a good player in this generation. He's
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: got some really solid numbers and all that, but he's
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: not as good as Isaac Bruce or mar Arvan Harrison
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: or I mean there's a bunch of them from the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: old school days, Calvin Johnson, Chris Carter, I can go

• 35:21
  Speaker 6: an eleven and fourteen record in two years under Freeze.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: How long of a leashed do you think he has?
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Well, Auburn has very passionate boosters and they have a
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: lot of money and if Nick Saban wants to come back,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: not that he would go to Auburn, right, he would
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: never go to Auburn. But no, he's not long and
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: I like you Freeze. I think he knows what he's doing.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: But you know they're not a contender. And I don't
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: buy it. You got to show me something and they
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: haven't shown me anything in the last couple years.
• 35:48
