• 2:48
  Speaker 1: John Sterling, the voice of the Yankees, taught me back
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in the day, you got to sell the soap. We've
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: sold a lot of soap. But let's talk some sports.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. And I'm
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: so happy that this happened this year and not last
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: year because I would have been blamed, you know, it
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: making all about me. I was able to go to Arrowhead.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I saw the Chiefs last year last November against the Broncos,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: one of the craziest games I've ever been at. That
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: was the game the Broncos had the game winning field
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: goal blocked and the Chiefs won, and they end up
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: going to the Super Bowl before they fell apart, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the hangover has continued. So Kansas City playing host to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Chargers in an AFC West Brew ha ha in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: this key game for Kansas City, Stand Alive, Stand Alive,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: taking on the Chargers. I don't know if you watch the
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: game or not. Now, if you had Kansas City winning
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: this game and staying alive in the playoff race in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the AFC, you are a big fat loser. You're a loser.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: As the Chargers said, turn out the last the parties over,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: they eliminate Kansas City from playoff contention. They are d
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: e a D dead dead debt Derwin James picking off
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a pass from Gardner Minshew. Yes, Gardner Minshew, number seventeen
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in year program, but number ninety nine in your heart.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew was in there. He had taken over for
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: an injured Patrick Mahomes. As we mentioned earlier in this program,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Mahomes done for the season. He was injured late. The
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: game was already over pretty much at that point, closing seconds,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and so Ken's City goes down. Chargers get a win.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: They won by three, and the reigning AFC champions are
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: no more as they have been exterminated and decommissioned from
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Justin Herbert had two unred ten yards. Modest numbers,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and so the quarterback apologists will say, he's hard, he's hard.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: What's long with ye out? Okay? Fine? Two hundred ten
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown for the team from so CA.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: The Chargers get to ten wins, ten and four consecutive
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: ten win seasons for the first time since they were
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the old San Diego Chargers. Show me your lightning ball
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: way back in six seven. My god, So the rare
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: season sweep, very rare season sweep for the Chargers over
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. The story here, though, is clearly in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: loser's locker room. This is a pivot point, is it not?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: At least it feels like a pivot point that here
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: we are. The Chiefs have been eliminated. They have been
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: x communicated from the NFL postseason after all of these years,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: first time in ten years, ten years, the Chiefs will
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: not be hanging out in playoff football. No wild card game.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about the AFC Championship game.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about going to the Super
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Bowl in San Francisco, although I imagine many of those guys
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: will go out there to sell all the crap they're
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: trying to sell you on radio roll. That's usually what happens.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: But let us discuss the question, and we're gonna get
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: into this right now with we're gonna focus on Andy Reid,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: all right, So the question is who who gets most
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of the blame for Andy Reid's Chiefs missing the plus
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: who's most to blame for Andy Reid's Chiefs missing the pluffs?
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So I've got sewing machine, swamp water, and Applebee's and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: will punch you right in your intestines, is what we're
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: gonna do. So before we get into this, let's hear
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: from Andy Reid. Everyone's very concerned about the morale, the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: morale of Kansas City. Here's what Andy Reid had to
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: say on that topic.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, guys are down our best with their butt
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: to win, to win the game, you know, And I
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: wouldn't expect anything less. So you know, it's not a
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: great feeling. I wouldn't expect it to be after losing
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: a game.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, was anyone expecting any other feeling? They think they
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: were gonna have like a Chuck E Cheese party, go
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: down and play some ski ball or something like that,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Like what are you gonna do? So as far as
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: who's most to blame for the Chiefs missing the playoffs
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: under Andy Reid number one. Let's start at the very top.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: The snake rots from the head down. Let's start with
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: mahomes magic. It went poof, Oh my god, you can't
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: say that. Yeah, you can't absolutely say he ends the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: year in the injury tent, which is a bummer. However,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: let's not let that cloud the reality of the situation.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You watch the NFL this year, long before Mahomes suffered
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the season ending injury, Patrick Mahomes went to the candy
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: shop and he ordered fun dip. Except it wasn't so fun.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: The fun dip wasn't fun. Normally, Mahomes has been a wizard,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the wizard of Arrowhead and under pressure pulling rabbits out
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of the helmet and this guy's magic wand and all that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: And this year he turned on the sewing machine and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: he stitched together a bunch of overthrows and bad reaths
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and ill timed giveaways and passes bouncing off receivers, hands
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and helmets and all that stuff. And on the deep
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: ball for Mahomes, it has been the Rocky Mountain horror
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: show is what it's been here and more picks than
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: touchdowns for Mahomes, barely completing a third of those deep
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: passes for the Kansas City Chiefs offense. Now, is he
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: still an elite player? Sure? Has he had an elite season? No,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: he did not have an elite season, and a lot
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: of butter fingers around him. Butter fingers, a lot of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: butterfingers at the worst possible moments, which is part of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the story. And he didn't get much help. But ultimately
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of that is on Mahomes though also for
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: not there were some terrible games, he said the last
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: month here, as things continued to go the wrong direction.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You also have to point out the drops were often
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: drive killers. They were Rashie Rice. I hope he is
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: better now at the driving than he was before, because
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: he's not very good at football these days. My god,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, who's thirty six, I believe he moves like
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a cell phone. He might be older than that now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: like a cell phone on low power, like the you know,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the batteries kind of low and it says, all right,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: you plug your phone in, you got ten percent power.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: And he caught passes the way you'd expect a podcast,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: like if we put Joe Rogan out there and said, hey, Joe,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: catch some passes, Okay, Joe would catch passes the way
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey caught passes a lot of bricks brick house
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: like the combodoors. There no separation, no vertical threat at all.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: The front office. Now, the other indictment here is on
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs front office, like they just assume we're gonna
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: get some guys back, and you know what happens when
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: you assume and we'll be okay and everything'll be fine.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: There sat on their hands at the trade deadline. They
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: refused to give up any draft picks to try to
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: complete the roster. They just kind of waited. It was like,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: it's like we're out of samples at Costco. Let's wait
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: until they fill up the sample trade. Okay, well wait,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: well they never did. They went home. The people that
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: put the samples out, their day was done. That was it.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: And so you look at everything. Yeah, the defense, Chris Jones,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: keeping up with the Joneses. If there's one moment to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: me that sums up this entire season for the Chiefs,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: it was the game against Jacksonville was I believe a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Monday night game, and you remember Trevor Lawrence fell down
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: a couple of times and Chris Jones, mister all everything,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: defensive star face of the franchise. His effort, his lack
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of hustle was next level and just caught on tape
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and then got all defensive about it and all that.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Like that kind of sums up this season, just like
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the offense had the thing of the jigs that weren't working,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: the watching mccolles. But the defense, the numbers weren't terrible,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: but then there were these little things like they couldn't
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: get the do hickey to work, and it was just
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: a big It was a big mess bottom third and
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: sacks bottom third and pressures third down stops were not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: great for the Chiefs defense, and they couldn't get off
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the field. Often when they needed to get off the field,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get off the field. So the malor math,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: if you knew the male of Math, crunch the numbers
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: on the Chiefs. Here it's shared blame, which is never fun.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: But the buck ultimately does stop with Mahomes because he's
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: he was able to elevate the players around him, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: this year he did not elevate the players around him
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: on offense, and the defense wasn't good enough to pick
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: up the slack and now they find themselves watching the
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: playoffs when that comes around here in January. All right now,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: page two, So continuing the theme of the hour, the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: theme of the hour, The question here is Chiefs coach
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid big Rad. Is Andy Reid in danger of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: being whacked? Is he going to be collateral damage from
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs being failures this year, not even making the playoffs?
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: So in terms of Andy Reid being in danger, is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: he about to get fired?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: No?
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Is he in stranger danger? I'm nodding my head. Yes,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna nod my head. Yes, on Andy Reid. I
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: don't see him being fired. He's like you get out
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: of here. However, the massage goodbye, I call it the massage.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Whether he's finesse, you know what I'm talking about. Like
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: this whole thing smells right now, And it doesn't smell
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: like delicious barbecue at the tailgated arrowhead. It doesn't smell
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: like that. It's musty, it's funky, and it's kind of
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: like the equipment. If you've ever been around hockey, the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: goalies equipment smells like ass just horrible. Or I guess
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: any gym bag, any gym bag on a hot, hot day,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: sitting out there in the sun, dry, and the summer
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: just smells really gnarly bad and terrible. And Andy Reid talking
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: about Mahomes being the Wizard of Arrowhead. Well, Andy Reid
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was the maestro of offensive play calling, and this season
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs attack it looked like his spell book. The
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: spellbook for Andy Reid was soaked in swamp water and
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the pages were sticking together. There was no real creativity,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: just kind of reheated leftovers, and it wasn't working and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: so and this didn't just pop up one overnight for
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Now, this has been festering. You remember last
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: year in the second half there were some signs that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: things were not going well, and then it bottomed out
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl when the Chiefs got smoked by
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles, and so Big Red was unable to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: find the source of the mildew, couldn't find it. And Mahomes,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: as good as Mahomes has been this year, he could
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: not find a can of fabreeze big enough to take
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: care of the flatulence in the phone booth that was
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: taking place here. And normally you get a mulligan when
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: you're a legend we're gonna give that person a mulligan.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: They're a legend of the game that the whispers out
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: of Kansas City are that there are some factions saying
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: it's time to make a change, and it's the perfect
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: time now with Mahomes being hurt, cause you bring in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a new coach, you let them settle in. There'll be
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: no expectations for the chiefs. Kelsey's gonna retire, Mahomes will
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: be out at least probably half the year. Next year,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you bring a new coaching staff in, they don't have
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: any real pressure on them. They go in there kind
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of set up their own thing. And these are grassroots whispers,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: is what they are. You know, pitchforks padded in bubble wrap,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: if you will, and all that stuff, and people gonna
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: lean into the age game. We saw what happened with
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Pete Carroll was not fired by the Seattle Seahawks. Although
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: he was fired, they made it seem like he left
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: to take an advisor's role. We know that's bull crap
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: because he immediately came back to coach the Raiders, if
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: you want to call what he's doing coaching the Raiders,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: and so it'd be like, well, Andy Reid's old Let's
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: just send Grandpa to the retirement home at midnight when
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: no one's looking, and I just can watch. My advice
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: now is to watch for leaks, watch for the league
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: source behind a paywall on the athletic watch for someone
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: connected to Mahomes questioning Andy Reid, and useful idiots in
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the media pushing the Andy slipping stories in the media
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that he's not doing this right and he's screwing this
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: thing up. And then the Mahomes needs a new voice.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: As we said and read the saving grace for Andy Reid,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: there is a saving grace is there are no obvious replacements,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Like there's no obvious name that they say, Okay, we
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: get that guy and we're gold. The only one that
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: would make a little bit of sense will be Cliff Kingsbury,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: who's the OC of the Washington Commanders, and he coached
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Mahomes in college at Texas Tech. And there's a guy,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: how about Cliff Kingsbury was a hot he was hot,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: hot to trot. Last year Washington got to the final
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: four in the NFL playoffs, and then he didn't take
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a head coaching job. He was very arrogant. He didn't
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like the jobs that were open. And now you think
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: anyone's gonna go out of the way to hire Cliff
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Kingsbury after the Washington offense tank this year. Come on,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: he had a chance and he said it out. But
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that would be the only one. Arrowhead mahomes Cliff Kingsbury.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: There's a connection there. And so unless he leaves the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Beltway and heads over and with a with a whiteboard
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in hand and drop plays for Patrick mahomes the loyalty.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: So the malord math on Andy Reid, he's in the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: danger zone. The good news is there's no one who's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: really stepping up. You're like, oh, that guy's gonna get
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the job, all right. Final point now to the pop
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: star in the corner of the room, question, what does
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: the storyline of the Chiefs being eliminated from playoff considerations?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: What does this do for the Taylor Swift fueled NFL
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theories that have been going around for several years.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: So I'll address this. This is the snuffleophagus in the room.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: This is what happens when a conspiracy theory runs out
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: of auxygen. There's no more auction here. The Taylor Swift
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: fueled NFL rigging crowd. Can we do a wellness check
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: on them? Are they doing okay? Are they quietly right now?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: They're slipping out the emergency exit at the Applebee's, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: they don't want to pay the check. They're like, I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: was just going to get out of Apple's. We go
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: through the emergency exit. We're not paying the check. That's it.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: For years, those that partake not farmer John. They're in
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: engagement farmers is what they are. They're doing engagement farming.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: And they've got their tinfoil sombreros on and they swore
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: up and down on the Holy Bible that the NFL
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: was greasing the skids, that it was all a rig
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: deal for Kansas City. It was the Travis kelce Taylor
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Swift romance. It was the Golden Boy Patrick Mahomes, a
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: scripted love story. And if it was a scripted love story,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: wouldn't it end with the Super Bowl confetti in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: air everywhere, drippling down, down, down, down down confetti, just
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: like that February retirement. Then sometime in the spring wedding
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Vibes with the biggest wedding in America in many, many years.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: There instead Travis Kelcey couldn't I guess we could say
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: couldn't shake it off. He was unable to shake it
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: off this year and it was just a bad year.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: And he limped off Arrowhead and with a bit of
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: a blank space. He had a bit of a like
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: space where the magic used to be, and he was
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: kind of frozen there. And that stench that the Chiefs
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: had on offense there. You know, it's just bad bad blood.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: There's another one bad blood. So did not go well here,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: and the wizardry of the Chiefs obviously away. M Kelsey's
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: magic gone, the plot armor ripped away for the conspiracy theory.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: And this was not cinema. This was definitely not cinema.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: It was a documentary, but not the documentary Taylor Swift's
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: been in here recently. No refs with Q cards, we
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: didn't have any of that. No Lombardi delivery service on demand,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: we didn't get that. Just a football boon doggle. It
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: was a boone doggle. And now Travis Kelsey can look
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: at Taylor Swift and mutter, look what you made me do.
• 19:59

  Speaker 1: Here we are together again and old pro bouncing. But
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: we don't talk much basketball because players don't really try
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: that much. You have to pay them a lot of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: money to get them to put some effort into that.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: But we will begin with the only game in town.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I will credit the NBA scheduling. They did not schedule
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: us on a Sunday, a Thursday, or a Monday. They
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: waited till the Tuesday. But our lead this hour from
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas, and that is where
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: championships are crowned. Well, I guess Adam Silver's creepy wet
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Dream Year three. Year three played out again, and no,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I am not on the NBA pay roll, so I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: do not have to sit here and say this is good,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: because it's not. But there they were. They were out
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: there running around in Vegas, the Crown of Champion. It's
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: a T shirt and hat kind of a game in
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the NBA. Were you watching? Probably not. It wasn't even
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: on television. It was on the stream, not on television.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Now we used a machete to go into the Amazon
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and to watch Oh g and a Newbee twenty eight points,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson twenty five points and apartures in a pear
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: tree and the New York Next for the first time
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: in my life, had champions They had to make up
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a championship for the Knicks to win a championship, and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: they beat Wemby. They beat Victor Webban Yaba and the Spurs,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: who choked in the fourth quarter. The Knicks win by eleven.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: The Fugesi NBA Cup goes to New York and so congratulations,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: first title in over fifty years. If you're a loser
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: and count this as a championship for the woe begone
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks. How cute is that you had Jalen Brunson,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: he got the NBA Cup MVP. How special is that?
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: You always remember that? So special? Carl Anthony Towns, kinnycat
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: see Minnesota, you traded a winner. How could the Timberwolves
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: have traded Karl Anthony Towns? Oh my god? Sixteen points,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: eleven rebounds. He did miss a bunch of this game
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: with injury, but they end up winning year, the champs
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: of the Big Apple as the New York Knicks get
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: it done. And Mike, how about this, Mike Brown doing
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: what pat Riley couldn't do. And Jeff Van Gundy and
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: every other stiff Nick coach, Mike D'Antoni, all these other clowns,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Don Nelson, all these guys that passed through, but me,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: he always remember, nicely win a championship. It's a special night.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And here's Mike Brown. One of the great moments in
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the NBA history. The next winning the NBA Cup.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: In any event where you're the last one standing and
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: you're able to hang a banner, especially iconic MSG, you
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: take that seriously, and all of our guys took it seriously.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: But the most exciting part about it, I feel like we're.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: In New loon righter, Let's go what fans we got love?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: It does? Yeah, of course he said the same thing
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: when he coached the Lakers and when he coached Cleveland.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: It's it's like a bad stand up comedian. You're the
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: greatest crowd I've ever had. Let me tell us that
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I was in Detroit last night. The people in Detroit
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: were holes, right, and that you were doing. You did
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: that in Cleveland. Then you go the next time over,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you go to Pittsburgh. Well, bet me to I was
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland last night. Those people were schmucks. But you, peeple,
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: this is a great crowd. I'm a rack, all right.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So let's discuss here as well. Set your Liberty is
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: down the street from that arena. It's New York, New York.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: They have that right there. So let us discuss the
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: question what does this Knickerbocker's in quote NBA Cup Championship
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: in quotes, what does this do for the franchise of
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: this title? So I've got snow globe, crude oil, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: dead wood, and we will combine all of these things
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: together and we'll charge you fifty bucks to park, because
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: that's how they roll in Vegas, where they try to
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: screw over the people that visit that town with overpriced
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: parking and no freebies anymore because the corporations have taken
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: over and they're a bunch of losers. I think you
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: can also have a dirty water dog and a soft
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: pretzel if you want, But those saft pretzels in New
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: York anyway, are the same consistency of the concrete that
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: you walk on. So a my first thought is the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: the New York Knicks have done it. They have done it, baby,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Oh my god. I hugged Jason Smith in the hallway,
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: my friend, longtime Nick suck Up. I said, I've known
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you we uede radio back years ago. I said, man,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: finally you get to celebrate. You gotta get a T shirt,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you gotta get a hat. You're a champion. And he's
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: had big smile, cheshire Cat's smile on his face. They
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: was so happy there. But you got to cue the trumpets.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Right when you win. You cue the trumpets, you release
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: the doves, you alert the Smithsonian. The knicker Bockers have
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: won the cup. They have whatever that is. I don't
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: even know what it is. They just made it up.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Three They even have that. The first year it was
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: called the NBA Play Something Tournament. I don't remember what's
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: called they then they changed it. They threw a corporate
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: sponsor on it, because that makes everything kosher when you
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: put a corporate sponsor on it. And that's right, you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: get the Fugeesy Trophy Capital left Fugheze. Congratulations. There a
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: glorified stockings stuffer for the Knickerbockers. The Diet Doctor Pepper
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Championship for New York. Now, some NBA pundits who you know,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: are deep up the tuckis of Adam Silver. They're acting
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: like New York cracked the Da Vinci code by winning
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Miss Championship. Had Jalen brunt They pretended like it was
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a real thing. They all played along. Of course I
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: was getting paid that money money, I would play along
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: as well. So Jalen Brunson was your little MVP, and
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that's special. That's good. He won the MVP. Og Ananobi
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: was cooking with gas. He was cooking gass. And Carl
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Anthony Towns Carl Anthony's he was crawling. Uh he was.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: He was out there like a lion. Normally he plays
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: like a housecat, but none on a and suddenly the Knickerbockers.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: This twenty twenty five, twenty six vintage of the Knicks.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: This was a Broadway revival. The Demon Slayer is what
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it was you talking about slaying demons in December in
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: like game twenty five or something like that. You beat
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: the Spurs. Congratulations. Tim Duncan did not score no points
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: at all. Tony Parker shut down, completely shut down. Congratulates
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: mazzeltof to the New York Knicks on winning. There James
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Dolan strutting around the Big Apple like he just dunked
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in the face of pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and all the other stiffs that he's paid to coach
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the Knicks over the years. There. See, you can't be
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: a dirt bag owner who won a championship. You see,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I won a championship. I'm James Dolan. I'm a schmuck
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and I want a championship because I had to come
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: up with a made up championship. Calm down there, Calm down.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: This is not the Lombardi of course they give that
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: out in football. This is like I saw it. It looked
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: like a like a snow globe from a Times Square
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: gift shop. That's the trophy that you win. You win
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: a snow globe from a Times Square gift shop. Congratulations.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So the NBA, as Mike Brown alluded to the Hobo
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: coach Mike Brown, that the NBA mandates you put up
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: this is so great. You put up a banner so good.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: It was embarrassing when the Lakers did it. We mocked them.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: I think Milwaukee won last year. That was stupid. And
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the Knicks, all those rich people on Wall Street going
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: to Madeisburgh. Look there's a championships won by the Rangers,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and then there's the Knicks championships you know, back in
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the seventy and then oh look there's a twenty twenty
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: five championship. This is the equivalent of hanging a finger
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: painting made by your kindergartener at the louver. So so great.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: Oh so they got to sell the championship hat and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: merch the T shirts. I saw the players wearing the
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: T shirts after the game and the hats, so they'll
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: sell those. Well. The Knicks newtre gonna summer a championship, hango.
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: You don't normally play right after you win a championship.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean you take a couple of months off. Are
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: they gonna struggle down because they won their little championship.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: You canna have a hangover from the room temperature water
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you got in Vegas. As Matthew mcconne, he said that
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: iconic scene in the Wolf of Wall Street for Gayzy
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: fo Ghazi Woozy, it's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. And
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: you can put that cup in a piggy bank and
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: it's still gonna be empty. The piggy bank is still
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: going to be empty. Now, meanwhile, someone that gets it.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Page two here, Sir Charles has chimed in. Charles bark
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: he recently unloaded prior to this event, mind you, on
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: the NBA Cup speaking with a long time I got
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: whacked from his job on the sports radio of the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Bay Area. But Tom Tolbert and longtime Bay Area as back.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Now he's doing a podcast like everyone else is, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: so he had Barkley on because Tolbert knows Barkley because
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: he used to play in the NBA and played against Barkley.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: So Charles Barkley confirmed that he hates hates the fact
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: that the tournament, the NBA Cup, is all about that
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: prize money and they have to entice the players to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: prioritize those games because the regular season the players obviously
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: don't care. We all know that it's an open secret here.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: And Barkley called it ridiculous that they had to pay
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: the players essentially a bounty here to get them to
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: play with extra efforts. So the question how did Charles
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Barkley's statement about the NBA Cup being embarrassing? How did
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: that sound to you? So listen, Charles Barkley obviously preaching
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: to the choir. It was a symphony. It was an
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: absolute symphony. Every note, every note was It was just
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: a standing ovation. Bravo to Charles Barkley. Does it again
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: at cacophony of goodness, cacoffny of goodness from Charles Barkley. Here,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Sir Charles, Now he did not genuflect to the altar
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: of staying of Adam. So I was gonna say, stan
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Van Gundy, I was watching the game, so you wouldn't
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: have to. And I'm pretty sure stan Van Gundy had
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: knee pads with Adam Silver's face on him. I mean,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: he was really going to town. Let me tell you,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: take a breath there, stand calm down. He was praising
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: the cup and what a great thing. Dwayne Wade, who's
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: terrible as a broadcaster. Brother, I think God is on Amazon.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: No one watches him, but God does he suck. So
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade was on there and he didn't know what
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to say, so he was just kind of agreeing with
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Stan Van Gunney. But Stan should get a room. He
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: wants he wants that job, he loves that good paying
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: job NBA broadcaster. And no one watches those games, so
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: nobody cares what he says. But I happen to be watching.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: And man, that was some major sucking up to management
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: by Stan Van Gundy, Like, dude, get a room. So
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: bad Now, this is how you juxtapost Charles Barkley the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: stand van Gutty. Charles Barkley not a houseman, stand van Gutty, houseman,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: big difference there. Charles Barkley is crude oil right, he's raw,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: he's unfiltered. He stains the carpet, The whole thing tells
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: the truth, whether you like the smell or not. Okay,
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: and calling the NBA Cup embarrassing is not a hot
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: take by Charles Barke. It's basic math. It's basic math
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: on the mountain of bad ideas on the Mountain of
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: bad ideas. This gimmick is parked right near the summit,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: right near the summit, on the Mountain of bad ideas,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: just below Adam Silver spending years years defending load management
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: as a sound strategy while the product, the quality of
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: the product, quietly fell apart, like a stale churrow right
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in front of his fat face. Not fatty skinny, but
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: you get the point. Think about this. The NBA had
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: to bring in a eventually, the keepler elves. They had
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: to bring in a bunch of elves here and wave
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: To get these entitled players to try hard. They had
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: to say, hey, fellas, let me dangle five hundred plus
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars and please try in December. Thank you, signed
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Adam Love y'all. Okay, Meanwhile, this is what I don't
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: get about, and maybe I'm wrong, and you can call up.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I'll give out the number in a few minutes. You
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: can explain why I'm misguiding. I don't understand why this
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: is such a big deal. The average salary, the median
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: salary in the NBA is twelve million dollars. Do you
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: understand the median salaries told me as well. Okay, that's
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: just because there's a lot of guys making fifty million. Okay,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: so the minimum getting salary, Like you know how you
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: hired at McDonald's, you get minimum wage if you're hired
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: by the NBA. The minimum salary. You know what it is?
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: You don't, Okay, what do you think you think? Yeah? Number? Okay,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the minimum salary one point two million. Let me repeat
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: that for the Yeah, in the fact, one point two million.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Uh Now again where I come from. If you make
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: one point two million, you are wait for it, you're rich,
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: is what you are. Okay. Uh So you don't have
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to shovel snow to make a couple of extra bucks.
• 34:26
