- 2:15Speaker 2: all right, So our lead this hour from pro Bouncy Ball.
- 2:18Speaker 2: We'll get back to the Lakers and the Timberwolves. Bad
- 2:21Speaker 2: win for the Lakers. Talk more about that later, but
- 2:24Speaker 2: our lead this hour from the Eastern Conference side of
- 2:27Speaker 2: the bracket. The early game. This was the game that
- 2:30Speaker 2: where the Dunce cap. It was on NBA TV, which
- 2:33Speaker 2: is where you do not want to be. You don't
- 2:36Speaker 2: want to be on NBA TV. That's the Hey, you're
- 2:39Speaker 2: the ugly redheaded stepchild of the playoff schedule. We'll put
- 2:43Speaker 2: your game on there. So it was opening around action.
- 2:46Speaker 2: We'll start out in Indianapolis where Dame Lillard, Dame Time,
- 2:51Speaker 2: all those big shots with the Trailblazers back in the day.
- 2:54Speaker 2: So Dame Lillard returning to the Bucks and they were
- 2:56Speaker 2: looking to even things up in game two and steal
- 3:00Speaker 2: home court advantage away from the Pacers. So I'm sure
- 3:04Speaker 2: if you were a witness to this, let me tell
- 3:07Speaker 2: you something I care about you. Okay, I could have
- 3:10Speaker 2: gone out and done stuff. I could have had a life.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I sat on my ass. I risked getting hemorrhoids to
- 3:16Speaker 2: watch all these stupid games. Here we are, all right.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So Pascal Siakam, who as long as he plays, I
- 3:23Speaker 2: will smile when I hear the man's name. And if
- 3:26Speaker 2: you're a real p one of this show, you know
- 3:28Speaker 2: why we love Pascal Siakam. It's our friend Marcel and Brooklyn.
- 3:33Speaker 2: But anyway, Pascal Siakam, I make sure I say that right.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Twenty four points, eleven rebounds, and a crucial three pointer
- 3:42Speaker 2: in the late stages of that game, and that was
- 3:45Speaker 2: the thing that sparked that final flurry, if you will,
- 3:49Speaker 2: for the Pacers. While tyresee Halliburton more on him in
- 3:53Speaker 2: a minute. Twenty one points twelve assists as Indiana gets
- 3:58Speaker 2: past Milwaukee twenty three to one fifteen the final. The
- 4:02Speaker 2: Pacers are now just two wins away from ousting the
- 4:06Speaker 2: Bucks and doing that again. If you've seen this before,
- 4:10Speaker 2: you have, you're not imagining that you have seen this before.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Indiana has now won five of the last six playoff
- 4:17Speaker 2: games between these teams, and they led this one wire
- 4:22Speaker 2: to wire, from zero zero to end of game, from
- 4:27Speaker 2: beginning to end the whole thing. There. Now the better story.
- 4:30Speaker 2: You know where the better story is. That's right, the
- 4:32Speaker 2: losing locker room. So that is where we go the
- 4:35Speaker 2: better story. So let's discuss who do you blame for
- 4:39Speaker 2: the Greek freaks Bucks digging a giant hole in this
- 4:45Speaker 2: series with the Pacers. Who you blame? Who you blame?
- 4:48Speaker 2: So I've got jukebox, Headliner and rubber Ducky and we
- 4:53Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 4:56Speaker 2: going to make cotton candy, which is what the Milwaukee
- 4:59Speaker 2: Bucks defense was like cotton candy in this particular game.
- 5:03Speaker 2: So numb burn? Can I get a numb burn? A
- 5:09Speaker 2: lot of blame cheese curds to go around, and it's
- 5:12Speaker 2: not so bad when you play Milwaukee and you lose
- 5:14Speaker 2: because cheese curds are delicious, So a lot of blame
- 5:16Speaker 2: cheese curds. Now, this Milwaukee team was man handled in
- 5:22Speaker 2: the early part of the game. They were absolutely manhattle.
- 5:26Speaker 2: Now they got back into the game, but they never
- 5:30Speaker 2: fully recovered, similar to what happened in that Laker Minnesota game.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Similar situation, like the Lakers came out, jumped out, and
- 5:41Speaker 2: Minnesota didn't play all that well, yet they worked their
- 5:43Speaker 2: way back in Milwaukee didn't play all that well. They
- 5:46Speaker 2: were better offensively, and they worked their way back into
- 5:49Speaker 2: the game, but for the most part, the defensive side
- 5:53Speaker 2: of things bad to the bone. Bad to the bone.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And if you were to crank up the jukebox, which
- 6:00Speaker 2: some places still have, you don't really need it now
- 6:02Speaker 2: because you got that on your phone. But if you
- 6:05Speaker 2: crank up the old music box there, the pure rock
- 6:08Speaker 2: tune would be Robert Palmers back of the day, Doctor Doctor,
- 6:11Speaker 2: give me the news that got a bad case of
- 6:13Speaker 2: loving hating you, and that would be Doc Rivers, What up, Doc? Yeah? Oh,
- 6:19Speaker 2: it's so great. The fact that Doc Rivers has been
- 6:23Speaker 2: able to bounce around the NBA as a carpetbagger is
- 6:28Speaker 2: wild considering how terrible his teams perform in the playoffs.
- 6:33Speaker 2: The most improbable championship of my lifetime. A lot of
- 6:37Speaker 2: people say it's the Detroit Pistons when they didn't have
- 6:40Speaker 2: a superstar and they beat the Lakers in the NBA
- 6:42Speaker 2: Finals back in the early two thousands. No, the Doc
- 6:46Speaker 2: Rivers coached Celtics that Paul Pierce and Ray Allen and
- 6:50Speaker 2: Garnett and those guys could win with this dead rate,
- 6:55Speaker 2: this absolute deadweight. Doc Rivers on the sidelines is fascinating.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Is a maestro of strategic missteps in the playoffs, and
- 7:05Speaker 2: yet again we saw Milwaukee was dazed and confused.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Doc is the seasoned, veteran coach who's supposed to have
- 7:12Speaker 3: all the answers.
- 7:12Speaker 2: He had none. He had none, right, no way to
- 7:16Speaker 2: control that. The Pacers coming out, you know how they're
- 7:19Speaker 2: gonna play. Eve and I who never played in the
- 7:21Speaker 2: NBA and just sit here behind microphones and criticize people.
- 7:24Speaker 2: I knew how the Pacers were going to play, fast paced,
- 7:28Speaker 2: in your face and transition offense. All of that, right,
- 7:33Speaker 2: they transitioned offense the whole the whole shebang and Indiana
- 7:38Speaker 2: capitalizing on the Sleepy D, the Sleepy D of Milwaukee.
- 7:45Speaker 2: Doc Rivers' rotations now they always blow and I know
- 7:48Speaker 2: this first hand as Doc Rivers killed the Great Lob
- 7:51Speaker 2: City Clippers, most exciting team, most popular team in the NBA.
- 7:54Speaker 2: They didn't win, and there are multiple reasons to Chris Paul,
- 7:58Speaker 2: choke artist Blake Griffin didn't come up big and big
- 8:00Speaker 2: games with Doc Rivers the common denominator in those teams
- 8:05Speaker 2: and and really most of the teams that blow it.
- 8:08Speaker 2: So Doc's rotations have always been an issue and what
- 8:12Speaker 2: he has always been consistent about. He falls in love
- 8:16Speaker 2: with certain players who are his favorites, like the teacher's pet.
- 8:21Speaker 2: You know you're in school right at that one little
- 8:23Speaker 2: useless little girl, annoying girl. It sucks up to the
- 8:26Speaker 2: teacher and very annoy everyone. Everyone hated her anyway, So
- 8:30Speaker 2: that teacher's pet. In basketball with Doc Rivers, there's a
- 8:33Speaker 2: certain starters. They're not playing well, they're underperforming, but yet
- 8:38Speaker 2: Doc likes them, so Doc continues to leave them in.
- 8:42Speaker 2: He insists on giving them a high volume of minutes
- 8:47Speaker 2: and does not give other people the opportunity who are
- 8:52Speaker 2: in this in this is you look around here, uh,
- 8:56Speaker 2: players that you leave on the bench to who do
- 8:58Speaker 2: you play? Is it? You know you like Kevin Porter Junior,
- 9:01Speaker 2: Bobby Portius, Guys like that you can mix in. And
- 9:05Speaker 2: as for the other blame factors in this game for
- 9:09Speaker 2: the Milwaukee Bucks, he got Dame Lillard, who did return
- 9:12Speaker 2: from a blood caught issue. And Dame time was not
- 9:18Speaker 2: game time. No, he was not. This was not vintage
- 9:23Speaker 2: Damian Lillard. He was forcing tough shots, even the Greek
- 9:26Speaker 2: freak who did have good sexy stats. If you're just
- 9:30Speaker 2: a box score reader and you're just observing the box
- 9:34Speaker 2: score like you're looking at birds out in the wild,
- 9:36Speaker 2: and you look at the boxer, Oh the stats are good.
- 9:39Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go full on hero ball, but it
- 9:42Speaker 2: did appear for stretches of this game for the Milwaukee
- 9:45Speaker 2: Bucks that it was pretty much get the ball to
- 9:48Speaker 2: jannisident to Coombo and whatever he does, that's great. And
- 9:53Speaker 2: you'll freeze out Dame Lillard and it's all about him.
- 9:56Speaker 2: You're not facilitating the offense and you're not getting everyone
- 10:00Speaker 2: involved in that. And you also struggled, yeah, and it's
- 10:04Speaker 2: struggling to contain Pascal Siakam there as well. We have
- 10:09Speaker 2: some Doc Rivers audio. Let's go to the audio tip.
- 10:10Speaker 2: So we have Doc Rivers here. And one thing Doc
- 10:14Speaker 2: has been very good at over the years is knowing
- 10:16Speaker 2: exactly what to say when his teams lose, because they
- 10:19Speaker 2: always lose. They always lose playoff games. Listen up, Buck fans,
- 10:24Speaker 2: what Doc's about to say? We've heard a million times
- 10:27Speaker 2: over the years. Here's Doc Rivers on his team falling
- 10:30Speaker 2: behind and everything's going to be okay.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Let's see, I'll look at it as a long stairs.
- 10:34Speaker 1: You know, we haven't played a home game. Yeah, so
- 10:37Speaker 1: it's almost like two and eight. And someone said, you know,
- 10:40Speaker 1: no one makes the playoffs within the two and eight,
- 10:42Speaker 1: but you know it's the same thing to me, right,
- 10:45Speaker 1: we have to go home and take care of business
- 10:47Speaker 1: and then then we giton.
- 10:50Speaker 2: He recorded that with a mister microphone, by the way,
- 10:53Speaker 2: mister microphone from the nineteen eighties or seventies anyway. So
- 10:57Speaker 2: there's Doc haven't played a home game. Neverber, Doc wanted
- 11:00Speaker 2: credit for his team's blowing three games to one leads. Now,
- 11:03Speaker 2: the good news is that the Bucks will not be
- 11:05Speaker 2: blowing in three games to one lead in this series.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Here's more for from the From the Bucks coach, here
- 11:11Speaker 2: is Doc Rivers pointing out, believe it or not, there's
- 11:14Speaker 2: actually a lot of good stuff for Milwaukee losing and
- 11:17Speaker 2: never having the lead. Take a list. I liked how
- 11:19Speaker 2: we'd played tonight overall.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Ithould have shout the ball better, could have moved the
- 11:25Speaker 1: ball even better. So I like where we're tracking.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Yeah, I like how we bet we didn't have a
- 11:32Speaker 2: lead for a second. Man, that's good basketball. Oh God,
- 11:38Speaker 2: the fact that this guy keeps getting gigs these How
- 11:42Speaker 2: dumb are these billionaire owners of these basketball teams, Mike
- 11:44Speaker 2: get These are some of the stupidest people out there.
- 11:47Speaker 2: They want they buy a basketball team because they want
- 11:49Speaker 2: everyone to talk about them. Right, Why else would you
- 11:51Speaker 2: buy a sports team If you're rich, you can be
- 11:53Speaker 2: rich and not have people talk about you. There's a
- 11:55Speaker 2: lot of rich people no one talks about. They just
- 11:57Speaker 2: hang out in you know, West Palm, or they hang
- 12:00Speaker 2: out in Beverly Hills or on Long Island. Nobody even
- 12:02Speaker 2: knows who they are. You buy a sports team because
- 12:05Speaker 2: you want to be talked about, and then you hire
- 12:08Speaker 2: the I can't even say what I want to say,
- 12:11Speaker 2: is the coach, oh my god, all right now turning
- 12:13Speaker 2: the pager. So the Pacers won and the finally led
- 12:16Speaker 2: from beginning to end and all that. So the story
- 12:18Speaker 2: here is not so much about the game. It's a
- 12:21Speaker 2: survey that was done where NBA players voted Tyrese Halliburton
- 12:26Speaker 2: as the most overraded, over raided player in the entire league. Now,
- 12:35Speaker 2: I did see a spicy SoundBite from Rick Carlisle, the
- 12:39Speaker 2: coach of the team there in Indiana, who is defending
- 12:42Speaker 2: his guy, cursing and getting all worked up. He was
- 12:45Speaker 2: worked into a lather and there were other people running
- 12:48Speaker 2: to defend Tyree Saliburton. So question is you're the voted
- 12:53Speaker 2: by your peers, by the This is NBA players, This
- 12:55Speaker 2: is not the media, this is not fanboys, this is
- 12:58Speaker 2: the actual contemporaries of you. It's like if I was
- 13:05Speaker 2: voted the largest gas bag by radio people, that would
- 13:09Speaker 2: be amazing. So this led to a lot of anger.
- 13:11Speaker 2: In fact that we have that audio, here's Rick Carlyle.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Listen to Rick Carlisle, stand by your man. Here take
- 13:17Speaker 2: a list.
- 13:18Speaker 4: I heard about this, and the other guys on the
- 13:20Speaker 4: list were Jimmy Butler, and Giannis, right, and I want
- 13:23Speaker 4: to see I want to see the guys faces that
- 13:27Speaker 4: voted those guys. I want to see the faces of
- 13:30Speaker 4: those guys. Right, this is a poll. Not everybody even
- 13:35Speaker 4: answered in the poll. Guys were able to answer if
- 13:38Speaker 4: they wanted to. They were asked on camera or with
- 13:41Speaker 4: a microphone. The whole thing is okay, and it's just
- 13:46Speaker 4: it's really it's really.
- 13:47Speaker 2: A shameful thing.
- 13:48Speaker 4: It's just a shameful thing.
- 13:50Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, So keep in mind that in the survey,
- 13:56Speaker 2: there are roughly four hundred and fifty players in the NBA.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Ninety people respond. That is twenty percent. You know, when
- 14:05Speaker 2: they do presidential polling and they're like, hey, who do
- 14:08Speaker 2: you think is going to be the president? Team Red,
- 14:10Speaker 2: team Blue, they don't survey twenty percent of the United
- 14:14Speaker 2: States to decide who's going to win the election. So
- 14:17Speaker 2: in many ways, Rick Carlile is completely wrong. Now, listen,
- 14:19Speaker 2: he's got skin in the game. He's paid by the Pacers,
- 14:22Speaker 2: that's his guy. I totally get that he would defend
- 14:26Speaker 2: Tyreese Sliburton. But in terms of the actual polling, it
- 14:29Speaker 2: is really good, Like twenty percent is a massive number,
- 14:34Speaker 2: a massive number when you think about what other surveys
- 14:40Speaker 2: are done. But in terms of what does it mean,
- 14:42Speaker 2: it means that Tyreevese. Haliburton is the headliner at the
- 14:46Speaker 2: bitterness ball of other NBA players like the players believe
- 14:51Speaker 2: that Haliburton is the hype that this cat gets exceeds
- 14:57Speaker 2: his production. It's kind of obviously. Now, remember I've said
- 14:59Speaker 2: this for overrated does not mean bad. It just means
- 15:03Speaker 2: you're not as good as people think you are. Derek
- 15:05Speaker 2: Jeter overrated in Major League Baseball, right, Peyton Manning overrated
- 15:09Speaker 2: in the NFL. There's a lot of players that are
- 15:11Speaker 2: perceived to be great, but they're overrated. Now, I'm not
- 15:14Speaker 2: comparing Tyree Saliburton to Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning. I'm
- 15:17Speaker 2: just merely using that as an example that you can
- 15:19Speaker 2: be productive and be considered good, but you're still overrated.
- 15:23Speaker 2: So the players think he's a tiger, a paper tiger.
- 15:26Speaker 2: Tyree Saliburton Indiana last year won on a playoff run,
- 15:30Speaker 2: and a lot of people believe that's counterfeit. The players
- 15:33Speaker 2: think that the Pacers got too much credit. Haliburton got
- 15:35Speaker 2: too much credit. Remember last year in the playoffs, they
- 15:36Speaker 2: beat the Bucks g honest was out if I remember correctly,
- 15:39Speaker 2: they beat the Knicks. A bunch of guys in the
- 15:40Speaker 2: Knicks were hurt in that playoff run. So it's not authentic.
- 15:43Speaker 2: And the bigger problem is Halliburton is a mosquito. He
- 15:49Speaker 2: is a pest. He is kind of a goofy dude.
- 15:54Speaker 2: He talks trash, memory taunted Dame Lillard used the Dame
- 15:57Speaker 2: Lived celebration in the playoffs, and so that annoyed dam Lillard,
- 16:02Speaker 2: and he irritates people. He's seemed like he's kind of corny.
- 16:06Speaker 2: You know, guys don't like that. He's like, it's just
- 16:08Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff going on all right. Now,
- 16:10Speaker 2: final point. We quickly we go to Oklahoma, Oh Oklahoma
- 16:16Speaker 2: the dust Bowl where Kyrie's ok C Thunder, not Kyrie Irving,
- 16:20Speaker 2: the other Kyrie. He's a p one and my gut, Kyrie,
- 16:23Speaker 2: he's the only guy that regularly corresponds with this show
- 16:26Speaker 2: who loves the Thunder. So we have one guy who's
- 16:29Speaker 2: a Thunder fan that regularly corresponds with the show, Kyrie.
- 16:32Speaker 2: So Shay gilgis Alexander twenty seven points and Oh Oklahoma
- 16:37Speaker 2: City domination situation. They win one, eighteen to ninety nine.
- 16:42Speaker 2: They have a two to nothing lead over the grizz
- 16:45Speaker 2: in that series one versus eight. Oklahoma City opened up
- 16:48Speaker 2: on a nine to oh run and held Memphis without
- 16:53Speaker 2: a point for the first three and a half minutes
- 16:56Speaker 2: of the game, the Grizzlies proving that Game one was
- 16:59Speaker 2: not a full as they came into this game fourteen
- 17:02Speaker 2: and a half point underdogs, and they missed their first
- 17:04Speaker 2: ten shots. Clankety clank. It was a brick house, it was.
- 17:10Speaker 2: And so that's if you're keeping track here, that means
- 17:13Speaker 2: Memphis has been outscored by seventy or if you look
- 17:16Speaker 2: at it from the other perspective, Oklahoma City is plus
- 17:19Speaker 2: seventy plus seventy in these first two games. So with
- 17:23Speaker 2: that being said, some have pointed out, wait a minute,
- 17:26Speaker 2: you're talking about the Lakers. The Clippers would.
- 17:28Speaker 3: About shake Gilgers Alexander, So should shake gilgis Alexander's thunder
- 17:32Speaker 3: be getting more credit for the epic historical beatdown of
- 17:38Speaker 3: the Grizzlies.
- 17:40Speaker 2: So my response on that is two words, no way,
- 17:44Speaker 2: no way. And here's why the Grizzlies and I did
- 17:49Speaker 2: watch some of this game, not much, because why would
- 17:50Speaker 2: I but when I was watching early on in this game,
- 17:54Speaker 2: the Grizzlies have already checked out. It's one, two three,
- 17:59Speaker 2: can kun is what it is here? They're in zombie mode.
- 18:02Speaker 2: John Morant right now is going to He's getting ready
- 18:06Speaker 2: when they get back to Memphis. Jaw's going to get
- 18:08Speaker 2: out his imaginary air pump and he's going to blow
- 18:12Speaker 2: up his imaginary rubber ducky. Because the Memphis Grizzlies are
- 18:16Speaker 2: floating on the lazy river, is what they're doing at Wowsers.
- 18:21Speaker 2: They do not have the competitive spirit, They do not
- 18:24Speaker 2: have the fighting spirit here. If you put an honest
- 18:27Speaker 2: effort in, you don't get blown out. Now, as far
- 18:29Speaker 2: as shay Yogus Alexander is concerned, he hasn't been good.
- 18:33Speaker 2: That's the shocking thing about this. The Thunder have won
- 18:36Speaker 2: by seventy points in these first two games combined, and
- 18:38Speaker 2: Shayyogus Alexander is shooting thirty three point three percent that's
- 18:42Speaker 2: the sign of the devil from the floor and twenty
- 18:45Speaker 2: three and a half percent from three point range. So
- 18:47Speaker 2: he has not been good at all. But the Thunder
- 18:49Speaker 2: are up to oh and they better enjoy all these
- 18:52Speaker 2: wins because they'll be losing to the Clippers in the
- 18:53Speaker 2: second round of the playoffs. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
- 18:57Speaker 2: As we are just getting the part started, just warming
- 19:02Speaker 2: up the party as we speak RG now. This portion

- 21:03Speaker 2: forget the t Wolves loss last night. Well, clearly an oversight,
- 21:07Speaker 2: bad job by us. King Ry writes since says, as

- 22:22Speaker 2: that's pre Lorraina. She doesn't know about that SoundBite, but
- 22:25Speaker 2: it's one of the all time great soundbites and we
- 22:27Speaker 2: should pull that out of the archives. But Marcel, when
- 22:30Speaker 2: Toronto was playing Golden State in the NBA Finals, it
- 22:34Speaker 2: was one of the magical moments in the history of
- 22:36Speaker 2: the show, and people get upset with Marcel. Marcel drop. Yeah.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Marcel was describing who he thought was the player of
- 22:44Speaker 2: the night for the Toronto Raptors, and he described the player.
- 22:52Speaker 2: He attempted to pronounce the name of the player, Pascal Siakam,
- 22:56Speaker 2: and the way he pronounced Pascal siak I was was
- 23:01Speaker 2: next level. But apparently we do not have that sound bite.

- 24:20Speaker 2: Brother. You know so in many ways, John, what you're
- 24:23Speaker 2: saying is staying on hold to call into overnight talk

- 24:45Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 24:45Speaker 6: Yeah, And you can have me in a commercial absolutely

- 24:56Speaker 2: Yeah, okay on that. No, you didn't call about your
- 24:59Speaker 2: side check. Not that we don't love hearing about your
- 25:02Speaker 2: your love life and how fascinating that is, John.
- 25:05Speaker 6: But oh yeah, But what I want'm to say is
- 25:09Speaker 6: I think I used to when I was a kid,
- 25:12Speaker 6: I used to love the nineties basketball. But it's not
- 25:15Speaker 6: the nineties anymore. And the last two games of the
- 25:19Speaker 6: Lakers that looked like the nineties, terrible officiating. I don't
- 25:25Speaker 6: know what was going on. I think the NBA needs
- 25:27Speaker 6: to review this crap and figure something out, as it's
- 25:31Speaker 6: going to be twenty twenty five basketball or nineties basketball,
- 25:36Speaker 6: and that's how they need to play from there on that.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Well, remember, like twenty twenty five basketball is just Papa shot.
- 25:41Speaker 2: It's just go out and shoot three point shots. Oh
- 25:44Speaker 2: that's he That's all right, that's all it is. I mean,
- 25:47Speaker 2: it's just just passed the ball a couple of times.
- 25:49Speaker 8: It's it's you know, it's if you if you have
- 25:52Speaker 8: if you have a three on the one, if you
- 25:54Speaker 8: have a three on one fast break and you can
- 25:56Speaker 8: get a hammer dunk, throw it back out for a
- 25:58Speaker 8: twenty seven point shot.
- 26:00Speaker 6: Come on, you gotta realize, like this this is basketball.
- 26:04Speaker 6: Is embarrassing. Yeah, like that is not great basketball watching
- 26:09Speaker 6: that those last two Lakers games. No, it's not its
- 26:13Speaker 6: owls and the no call no calls.
- 26:16Speaker 3: They are there.
- 26:17Speaker 2: They're letting him play though.
- 26:18Speaker 6: It's not just embarrassing.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Okay, So you would like to see nothing, You want
- 26:23Speaker 2: to see nothing but foul shots? Is that what you'd
- 26:25Speaker 2: like to see. No, we'll make your mind up. Make
- 26:29Speaker 2: your mind up.
- 26:31Speaker 6: No, big, big, they're reacting because the reps aren't calling fowls. Okay, reps,
- 26:37Speaker 6: they're gonna call fouls and it's going to get uglier
- 26:39Speaker 6: and uglier and uglier.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Perfect.
- 26:41Speaker 6: Do you really want to go backwards up back? Yes,
- 26:43Speaker 6: you're big man. We don't want to go back to
- 26:45Speaker 6: the nineties.
- 26:46Speaker 2: Yes we do. Yeah. I was a lot younger in
- 26:49Speaker 2: the nineties. Yeah, the nineties was the best. I have
- 26:52Speaker 2: my whole life ahead of me. In the nineties, that
- 26:54Speaker 2: was like in the prime of my life. That's what
- 26:56Speaker 2: I pad. Really.
- 26:57Speaker 6: People want to see Charles Barkley, And as to the uniform,
- 27:00Speaker 6: we don't want to go back to Charles Barkley back then.
- 27:04Speaker 6: We don't want to.
- 27:04Speaker 2: I like watching Barkley, but Barkley was a great player.
- 27:07Speaker 2: People think he's just a clown on TV. But he
- 27:09Speaker 2: was a hell of a player.
- 27:10Speaker 6: He was he was, Yeah, but he was still a
- 27:14Speaker 6: big old player, and nobody wants to see him hacking people.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Oh, you're repeating yourself. I've been over and over the
- 27:22Speaker 2: same thing. Changed the topic, nobody. I got your point.
- 27:27Speaker 2: I understand you. Okay, I got the point. Yes I do.
- 27:33Speaker 2: I go call your side, chick, get out of here,
- 27:36Speaker 2: go away. What's wrong with you.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Me?
- 27:42Speaker 2: So another tradition in sports has bit the dust. The
- 27:46Speaker 2: final sunset now one of the traditions my entire life
- 27:50Speaker 2: on New Year's Day, the Rose Bowl and the Royal
- 27:56Speaker 2: Seka right there the mountains over Pasadena, and you get
- 27:59Speaker 2: that shot of the sun setting the iconic Rose Bowl
- 28:03Speaker 2: and the beautiful mountains in the backdrop, and its picture perfect.
- 28:07Speaker 2: While people in Michigan and Illinois and Iowa are freezing
- 28:11Speaker 2: their balls off and they're right there, beautiful, just wonderful.
- 28:15Speaker 2: Everyone in Minnesota's like, I gotta go to La I
- 28:17Speaker 2: gotta go to Pasadena because the Rose Bowl, well that
- 28:21Speaker 2: is not going to be happening, at least not upcoming here.
- 28:24Speaker 2: The Rose Ball going to change the kickoff time to
- 28:28Speaker 2: accommodate television. That's right, the Rose Bowl will no longer
- 28:34Speaker 2: have the iconic sunset on television. The tradition is going away,
- 28:41Speaker 2: bye bye, the first sunset of the year, which is
- 28:44Speaker 2: always captured on TV. And you see the lights taking
- 28:48Speaker 2: effect in those beautiful college football uniforms in the helmets,
- 28:51Speaker 2: sparkling as the sun sets and the shadows on the mountains,
- 28:56Speaker 2: and it's just a it's like a painting from an
- 28:58Speaker 2: iconic Bob Ross episode on PBS back in the day.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Just amazing. And that is Dunskees, the iconic Rose Bowl
- 29:07Speaker 2: sunset over those San Gabriel Mountains on New Year's Day. Well,
- 29:13Speaker 2: don't expect to see that up coming. They're moving. The
- 29:16Speaker 2: Rose Bowl twenty twenty six game will kick off an
- 29:20Speaker 2: hour earlier at one pm local time, the earliest kickoff
- 29:25Speaker 2: time in the history of the Rose Bowl. So it's
