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

  Speaker 2: Something churro at least, you know, gotta have something like
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that one. Yeah. Let me go out to the phones here.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I want to go straight to Louisiana. Anthony is first
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: up in these wee hours. What's going on, Anthony? You're
• 22:24

  Speaker 7: She said, Hi, she's on the phone. She waved it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's good to hear from you, Lorana.
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: It's good to hear from you.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: You send that. I gott a joke for you, Loraine.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: I love that joke. Let me what you got this nail?
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: This nail was walking down the road, just a joke
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: I made us and the other kad touched it behind,
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: took his veh pos and it still used. Say Pope,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: call nine one one and the policer will the police
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: saying what happened? Give him to see you.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know what did the snail say?
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know. You haven't told Fang.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: You know, Anthony, I was saying, and you might disagree
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: with this, but I lived in lived in New Orleans
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: for a couple of months, Anthony, and I thought it
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: was gonna be friendlier than it was. I'm not saying
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: it was unfriendly, but I felt like they're like tourists.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, Anthony doesn't care.
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: He doesn't care about you New Orleans story.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: He didn't care about anything. He just cares about Lorena. Okay,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: we appreciate you checking in. Thanks for the joke Anthony
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: as well. You know, Anthony just wants to you know,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: crush on the rain. I guess you didn't care about
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: I'm a hot commodity.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: You know what's funny is uh, I was driving around
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: a little bit. I think Anthony not paying attention was
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: a good example of, you know, how fired up the
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: militia is for you know, fill in night, you know.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: But I was, I was driving around. I thought it
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: was funny. I was driving around today and I was
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: flipping around and The Herd was on, and so I'm like, oh,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: let's see what Colin's talking about today. And then the
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the you know, the the speaker guy was like in
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: for the Herd Jason MacIntyre, and I was like, ah, week,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: no Herd today. And I still listened for a little
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: while and it was fine. But you know, my initial
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: reaction was like I was, I was ready for the Herd. Brian, No,
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with j Mac. I just wanted to hear
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: what the Herd had to say.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: Right when you're in the mood for one show and
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: you turn it on and your person's not there. It's
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: a little you know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And so I thought it was funny. I'm like,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: I should really give Jason a show tonight. I feel like,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you know, if I'm like, ah Week MacIntyre and they
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: just flip, you know, I feel like that's what the
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: militia is gonna do when I'm filling in for Big Ben.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, you know what, I gotta support my
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: fellow fill in hosts.
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: Do not forget Brian. You were filling of the Year
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: last year on Ben Maller's show. So the militia loves you.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, congratulations, thank you. I think they just felt sorry
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: for me, and they were bummed, you know that there
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: was no Jonas, there was no Mansi. They're like, oh gosh,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I guess I guess now or never. For No, I
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: think it was more like a pity vote. I think
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: that's what it was. Oh No, definitely not I think
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: it was. I would think it was totally out of
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: pity right there. But hey, whatever, give it whatever gets
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: us to the top. You know, I just got to
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: outlast Knocks and Bolano so over here, you know, and
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I get a shot, get a shot at the big
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: time I'm gonna get back to the calls in a second.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Let me pay this off. You might not agree with this,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: some of you will. But I got to thinking about
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: the NFL Draft coming up. I can't wait for it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: I'm an NFL junkie, but I'd be lying to you
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: if I said I was just engrossed in all things draft.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: This year, it's lacked a lot of buzz. We don't
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: have that one I don't know, that one draft pick,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: that one story where everybody has an opinion about it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: You know, we just don't have that this year. And
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: think about what we had last year with the Chaduur
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Sanders situation. Everybody had an opinion on Shaduur Sanders, whether
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: he should be a first round pick, he falls to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: the fifth round, and it was just nothing but opinions, opinions, opinions,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: opinions on Chaudeur. Why did he drop so far? What's
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: going on? What's the reason for this? Everyone had an
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: opinion about it. Who's the player in this draft that
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: everyone has an opinion on, who's the guy? There isn't
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: that guy. There isn't a guy that's really driving conversation
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and all of that. I got to thinking where I
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: think the NFL Draft. I think the build up is
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: week this year, but I think the draft itself will
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: be fantastic, And that reminds me of March Madness quite
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: a bit. A lot of people won't buy this because
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the draft isn't an actual game, right. It's a sporting event,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: but it's not a game. March Madness is a bunch
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: of games, so some like that comparison will throw people off.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: But what I really mean by that is if you
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: really think about March Madness, there isn't a ton of
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: build up leading up to games, whether it's the first round,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: second round, you know, we're leading up to the final four.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: There isn't the type of hype and the type of
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: build up that you would think for something that's that big,
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Like you'll preview games and you'll talk about it here
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: and there, but it's not going to just drive opinions
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: and drive conversation, and it just doesn't happen year after year.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: That's the case. You're not gonna get people calling in
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: with these strong opinions about Arizona versus Michigan. They'll watch
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: the game, they'll be excited for it. If you're a
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: college hoops fan, if you're a basketball fan, but you're
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: not gonna be most likely like pounding the table with
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: some fierce opinion about what's going to happen or whatever
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: the case may be. It just doesn't drive conversation. And
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: I feel like that's what the NFL Draft is this season,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: at least leading up to it. The storylines don't drive conversation.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: It isn't driving opinions. But I think the draft itself
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: will be a lot of fun. Might get some trades
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: when we might get someone who falls, there's a team
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: that's gonna do something stupid. They're gonna reach for a player,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: like what are they doing? There're gonna be plenty of
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: storylines and plenty of things to react to and talk about,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: but it's just lacking a lot of sizzle eating up
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to it. And in my mind, you you might see
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: it differently, and that's fine, But in my mind, I
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: think it's a lot like March Madness and really sort
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: of like the college football playoff in ways as well,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: because the build up, at least to me and listen,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I host shows, and I know, I'm like, all right,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: we can talk about these games, and there are certainly
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: points to bring up, and I've got some opinions, but
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: it's not gonna drive anything. People aren't, you know, like
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: just I don't know this, Like who's the guy?
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: Is it?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know Yaxel Lendeborg or is it uh CoA
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Pete from Arizona who's gonna have the bigger game? And
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: people are just engrossed in that, like it's gonna be
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Co or it's gonna be Lendeborg. It's not like that.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't drive excitement and doesn't drive conversation. But
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: the games are awesome and we react to them like crazy,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: It'll drive conversation afterward. I feel like that's what the
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Draft is gonna be this year. It's gonna drive conversation afterward.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be more reaction than preview. It's gonna be
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: more reaction than hype leading up to it. That's just
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: the way it's playing out this season. But I think
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: there are plenty of things to be excited about, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: when it finally does get here, if you're an NFL fan,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I think he'll be into it. And certainly they're gonna
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: be a ton of stories to react to and a
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: lot of things will drive opinions. I don't think we're
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: gonna have anything close to the Shador Sanders thing this season.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: We might not have something close to that. For a
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: long time, that was that was something that everybody was
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: reacting to everyone. I don't know they're gonna have that
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: this year, but I think you're gonna have a lot
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: more storylines, you know, to react to than to preview
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the potential and listen. A lot of times the potential
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: is really interesting, I do. I'm not telling you there's
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: not anything to be hyped up about or interested in
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: leading up to it. I'm just saying it lacks a
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: lot of sizzle. There's gonna be more sizzle afterward than
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: there is leading up to it. With that, let me
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: get out to the phones. Dave is in Ohio. He
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: wants to check in here. What what's going on? Dave?
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's up, mister Brian. I'm just saying he made
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: fun of miss mister Berlin. Can bang that bass? I
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: know you can have the tool. My dogs are backing
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: me up, but you can't hear me.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Dog is hyped up, man, I like this. We're pro animals.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: It's fine. Let them go.
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they were Mallard doesn't like when I put him
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: on speaking he says a big time and I have
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: to get you off the speaker. But yeah, mister Boylan
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: is a bad manma Jama. So you can't I mean
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: they when they do. Have you seen them live, because
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: You know what's funny? I saw them at oz Fest
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: forever ago.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: It was when they were like, OK, hop it around
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: the bunny suit. Was that? I guess cool? You know?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: You know, hey, listen, West got a lot of good stuff. Man,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: he's got some catchy riffs.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: I mean, den he jam out with old Danni jam
