- 0:11Speaker 1: latest developments involving Jason Tatum. Pop goes the Achilles Unfortunately
- 0:17Speaker 1: he's out the Achilles operation. Also given past Achilles injuries
- 0:21Speaker 1: to players like Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Phillips. What
- 0:25Speaker 1: is the realistic expectation for Jason Tatum when he does
- 0:29Speaker 1: return eventually to the Boston Celtics. And who deserves the
- 0:34Speaker 1: most blame as we'll talk about the Eastern Finals semi
- 0:36Speaker 1: finals which came to an end. Who deserves the most
- 0:39Speaker 1: blame for the Cavaliers' futile effort against the Indiana basketball team?
- 0:45Speaker 1: And what is the lesson? Cleveland had a great regular season,
- 0:49Speaker 1: they were the top seed and all that, and they
- 0:51Speaker 1: just completely collapsed in the playoffs against Indiana. So what
- 0:55Speaker 1: is the lesson from that? We'll talk about all of
- 0:58Speaker 1: it and more. Right now, give it up for our
- 1:01Speaker 1: number two, The.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Rub of the Green.

- 2:29Speaker 1: dot Com the way tire Buying show be So our
- 2:33Speaker 1: lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball, and we're
- 2:36Speaker 1: going to start out here with yesterday's rumors turning out
- 2:41Speaker 1: to be two days and news.
- 2:44Speaker 3: Now.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Years ago, I had a gossip blog. I was in
- 2:48Speaker 1: the bloggersphere. It was one of the early bloggers. I
- 2:50Speaker 1: gave that up for the joy of overnight talk radio.
- 2:53Speaker 1: But one of the things we did there, we did
- 2:55Speaker 1: a lot of rumors uf gossip, and oftentimes it started
- 2:58Speaker 1: out as a rumor and then before you knew it, it
- 2:59Speaker 1: became reality. And so whispers in hush tones have yet
- 3:05Speaker 1: again turned out to be true.
- 3:06Speaker 2: If you did not hear, maybe not.
- 3:09Speaker 1: The Celtics made it official, they put the rubber stamp
- 3:12Speaker 1: on it, and Nana La La la, Hey, goodbye. Unfortunately,
- 3:19Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, that's it, see you later, goodbye, Jason Tatum,
- 3:22Speaker 1: Celtics star. He's dun skies underwent surgery. They said he
- 3:28Speaker 1: was gonna have an MRI. He had surgery as he
- 3:33Speaker 1: went snap crackle pop or ruptured in this case his
- 3:36Speaker 1: Achilles tendon and that operation happening on Tuesday afternoon. He
- 3:40Speaker 1: suffered the injury late in the fourth quarter, less than
- 3:43Speaker 1: three minutes to go in the game. In Game four,
- 3:46Speaker 1: Celtics at the time were down by nine to the Knicks.
- 3:49Speaker 1: They ended up losing that game and now they are
- 3:51Speaker 1: on the brink of elimination, trying to stave off elimination
- 3:56Speaker 1: when they play the Knicks again here coming up hours
- 3:59Speaker 1: from now. But that's not the story. The story here
- 4:01Speaker 1: is Jason Tatum. So the Seas are now going to
- 4:04Speaker 1: lead on. We're going to lean on Jalen Brown. What
- 4:07Speaker 1: can Brown do for you? It could actually step up here.
- 4:10Speaker 1: He's been a little shaky, a little shaky after being
- 4:14Speaker 1: the big man on campus for the Celtics last year
- 4:16Speaker 1: when they won the championship.
- 4:17Speaker 2: He's supposedly the star A to B and or beat A.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Wait the way you want to say it, but Jalen
- 4:24Speaker 1: Brown trying to save the Celtics in Game number five.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Teams that are leading three games to one in the
- 4:33Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs have won ninety five point six percent of
- 4:36Speaker 1: the time. I think that's even higher now because Indiana
- 4:39Speaker 1: was up three to one, so he can check on
- 4:40Speaker 1: another one. There's only thirteen teams that have come back
- 4:44Speaker 1: from that deficit. But that is secondary. Jason Tatum one
- 4:47Speaker 1: of the big stars in the NBA. You go to
- 4:50Speaker 1: the grocery store for a long time, we saw him
- 4:52Speaker 1: on the face of ruffles. He was selling you potato chips,
- 4:55Speaker 1: and now he is, he's down, he's out, See you later,
- 4:59Speaker 1: Goodbye the Celtics. I always love this part of the story.
- 5:02Speaker 1: They say the operation was successful, They say it was successful,
- 5:07Speaker 1: No timetable was available, all right. So Tatum, who's about
- 5:14Speaker 1: hadn't happened. Yeah, he's about to be named to his
- 5:16Speaker 1: fourth consecutive All NBA team. And when that happens, he'll
- 5:21Speaker 1: be one of just forty three players. That's it, forty
- 5:24Speaker 1: three players the history of that sport, the NBA. Forty
- 5:28Speaker 1: three players that have made that many Wall having turned
- 5:31Speaker 1: twenty seven coming up, but just in March turned twenty seven.
- 5:34Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question, what are your thoughts
- 5:39Speaker 1: on today's developments involving Jason Tatum, the Achilles operation and
- 5:44Speaker 1: what all of this means. So I've got animation, garage, band,
- 5:49Speaker 1: and atomic and we will combine all of these things
- 5:54Speaker 1: together and we are going to get a delicious.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Dinner.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Now, my friends in Boston say, you got those great
- 6:02Speaker 1: seafood restaurants, But every time I'm in Boston, I don't
- 6:04Speaker 1: like seafood, So don't I don't need your little seafood restaurants.
- 6:07Speaker 1: All right, So, first of all, my first thought on
- 6:09Speaker 1: this on today's developments is get out the charcoal barbecue
- 6:16Speaker 1: because it's grilling season and the Celtics are porked that
- 6:22Speaker 1: I put that right on the grill.
- 6:23Speaker 2: They're screwed.
- 6:24Speaker 1: I also love the successful operation, which just means he
- 6:30Speaker 1: didn't die during the operation right the anesthesia. He didn't die.
- 6:33Speaker 1: He's alive. So it was successful. And I know firsthand
- 6:38Speaker 1: back in the day when I was around the locker
- 6:40Speaker 1: rooms a lot, that I had multiple players who come
- 6:44Speaker 1: up with that operation.
- 6:45Speaker 2: It wasn't successful. I'm not as good.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I didn't fix it, and then these guys have to
- 6:51Speaker 1: have another operation all I So you don't really know
- 6:53Speaker 1: if it was like successful until Jason Tatum gets back
- 6:56Speaker 1: out in the court and ends up playing very.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Well, and in that point you say it's successful.
- 7:00Speaker 1: But you know, it's like a lot of people are
- 7:02Speaker 1: trying to be played positive and upbeat and all this stuff.
- 7:05Speaker 1: But I'm not last I checked. I'm not Willy Wonka.
- 7:08Speaker 1: We don't need your sugarcoat anything here. This becomes an
- 7:11Speaker 1: animation situation for Jason Tatum and the Celtics, a suspended
- 7:16Speaker 1: animation if you will. The doctors elected, we are told
- 7:20Speaker 1: to go right away into the operating room because that tends,
- 7:24Speaker 1: they said, tends to lead to a more favorable outcome.
- 7:29Speaker 1: The math is not particularly great on this. That tells
- 7:32Speaker 1: you what has happened, not what's going to happen. Jason
- 7:35Speaker 1: Tatum is not expected to play another regular season basketball
- 7:40Speaker 1: game or playoff game. The earliest is October of twenty
- 7:44Speaker 1: twenty six, So October of twenty he's out the entire season,
- 7:49Speaker 1: and they'll be ready to go possibly then by that time.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Though by the time Tatum's back, think about the fact
- 7:56Speaker 1: that two new.
- 7:57Speaker 2: Champions are going to be named.
- 7:59Speaker 1: The Celtics are going to win this year, so somebody
- 8:01Speaker 1: else is gonna win this year, and then next year
- 8:02Speaker 1: somebody else is gonna win, So two new champions and
- 8:06Speaker 1: will have been crowned. These Celtics will have made a
- 8:09Speaker 1: bunch of roster moves very unlikely. Al Horford, for example,
- 8:13Speaker 1: or Holiday are going to be on the Celtics by
- 8:15Speaker 1: the time that Tatum returns, and even Tatum's a wild
- 8:20Speaker 1: card by that point.
- 8:21Speaker 2: You don't know, you.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Don't know what you don't know, and you don't know
- 8:24Speaker 1: whether Jayson Tatum's gonna be able to come back at
- 8:26Speaker 1: a high level now. Secondly, given the past Achilles injuries
- 8:32Speaker 1: players such as Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, Chauncey Billups, among others,
- 8:38Speaker 1: recently Dame Lillard, what is the realistic expectation? We don't
- 8:43Speaker 1: know what Lillard because he's just had it. So what
- 8:45Speaker 1: is the realistic expectation for Jason Tatum's return? So mention Tatum.
- 8:50Speaker 1: He just turned twenty seven back in March. So he
- 8:53Speaker 1: is now a member of a very special garage band.
- 8:57Speaker 1: Very special garage band, the band of brothers. Only a
- 9:01Speaker 1: handful of first team all NBA players have ever missed
- 9:06Speaker 1: a season in their twenties. That's the caveat this like
- 9:10Speaker 1: this is an injury associated with players who are near
- 9:12Speaker 1: the end of their career, usually in the mid thirties
- 9:16Speaker 1: and beyond, which in the sporting world means you're on
- 9:19Speaker 1: the back side of your career. This is not typically
- 9:22Speaker 1: an injury associated with someone under the age of thirty.
- 9:26Speaker 1: So Tatum now can learn the secret handshake. I'm sure
- 9:29Speaker 1: he's excited about that as he's part of this special
- 9:31Speaker 1: band of players. He is on a big board, not
- 9:36Speaker 1: unless Terry in England a big board with the late
- 9:40Speaker 1: great Bill Walton, the Big Redhead, Derek Rose of Chicago
- 9:45Speaker 1: Bulls fame, and Bernard King of the Knicks. Now, Bernard
- 9:50Speaker 1: King did get back to the form, he was an
- 9:53Speaker 1: All star, However, the problem with this is always however,
- 9:58Speaker 1: it took several years for him to get back that level,
- 10:00Speaker 1: and that was a long time ago, and then he
- 10:03Speaker 1: got hurt again.
- 10:03Speaker 2: And normally, when you have this injury, you are.
- 10:06Speaker 1: More prone to have the other achilles pop, you are
- 10:09Speaker 1: more prone to re injure the achilles. So you're screwed
- 10:12Speaker 1: in many respects in that department. Here a ticking tick
- 10:15Speaker 1: tick tick tick time bomb situation in that regard.
- 10:18Speaker 2: The only one, the only.
- 10:21Speaker 1: One that you should really look at as the hope
- 10:24Speaker 1: if you're a Jason Tatum fan Celtic fan, and if
- 10:26Speaker 1: you're Jason Tatum, it's got to be Kevin Durant. Now,
- 10:29Speaker 1: Durant doesn't play all that much, but that's the modern NBA.
- 10:33Speaker 1: But Kevin Durant, statistically anyway, has been the closest too good.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Durant has not played more than fifty five games in
- 10:43Speaker 1: any season since he came back from his achilles injury,
- 10:47Speaker 1: but he has been an elite player in terms of efficiencies,
- 10:51Speaker 1: averaged almost twenty nine points a game, seven rebounds, and
- 10:55Speaker 1: six assists or so. Three seasons since Pop goes the
- 11:00Speaker 1: He's so he's been able to put up some numbers.
- 11:03Speaker 1: Not that it's translated to any of the teams he's
- 11:06Speaker 1: been on being any good in the playoffs, anything along
- 11:08Speaker 1: those lines. All right, now, final thought, We now pivot
- 11:13Speaker 1: to Cleveland, Ohio, where the NBA season came to an
- 11:18Speaker 1: end on a random night on a Tuesday. It was
- 11:25Speaker 1: bye bye, bye bye Calves.
- 11:28Speaker 2: You're out.
- 11:29Speaker 1: So they lose to Andiana Pacers have advanced during the
- 11:32Speaker 1: final four of the NBA. They cut down the nets. Congratulations.
- 11:35Speaker 1: So question who deserves the most blame for the Calves
- 11:41Speaker 1: they blow a nineteen point lead at home in an
- 11:44Speaker 1: elimination game, But who deserves the most blamed for the
- 11:47Speaker 1: Calves just in general as they are exiting from the
- 11:52Speaker 1: postseason now. So I'm a believer that the legendary status
- 11:57Speaker 1: that one gets the legendary status is validated in playoff games.
- 12:03Speaker 2: We don't even really pay attention to the NBA during
- 12:05Speaker 2: the regular season anymore. It's all about the postseason. That's it.
- 12:08Speaker 1: That's postseason. So your validation is in the postseason. Fine,
- 12:14Speaker 1: and in this case you are exposed in the postseason.
- 12:18Speaker 1: And that's really the lesson. Is that unfair.
- 12:21Speaker 2: You shouldn't say that they had a good team and
- 12:23Speaker 2: they got guys got hurt. What's wrong, We really got hurt.
- 12:25Speaker 2: You should say you're mean.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Now, I'm pretty confident my guys in Ohio, Ohio Strip Club,
- 12:31Speaker 1: john My p Ones in Northern Ohio and.
- 12:34Speaker 2: People that like to get they're with me on this.
- 12:38Speaker 1: You had this vibe all season when the Calves are
- 12:40Speaker 1: winning all these games and playing amazing basketball.
- 12:43Speaker 2: You had this vibe. It's not legit, it's smoking mirrors,
- 12:47Speaker 2: it's a magic show. It's not real.
- 12:50Speaker 1: And there we go, right paper Tigers, the Calves go
- 12:54Speaker 1: out there. The lesson is they were exposed, They were emasculated.
- 12:59Speaker 1: They when sixty four games, they were a dominant team
- 13:03Speaker 1: in the first round against Miami. How bad is Miami?
- 13:06Speaker 1: Holy crap? So the Cavs then had some shrinkage. They
- 13:12Speaker 1: went limp. We saw a pill for that. Against the
- 13:15Speaker 1: upstart Pacers, you got Spider Mitchell the headliner there. Spider Mitchell.
- 13:20Speaker 1: Evan Mobley was the defensive Player of the Year. You've
- 13:23Speaker 1: got Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the year, all these
- 13:27Speaker 1: decorated players and they all get to wear the Dunce cap,
- 13:30Speaker 1: all of them fools gold, Fools gold is the phrase
- 13:35Speaker 1: that were the player. And how about Donovan Mitchell Man
- 13:37Speaker 1: always good regular season numbers, good regular season players, had
- 13:41Speaker 1: some big playoff games, and yet never been able to
- 13:44Speaker 1: put a team on his back and lead them to
- 13:45Speaker 1: the conference finals. Didn't do it on some good Utah
- 13:48Speaker 1: Jazz teams. Hasn't done it in Cleveland, and that one stinks.
- 13:53Speaker 1: And you got the Pacers fun to watch, high octane
- 13:56Speaker 1: Indiana offense who ran circles around Cleveland and especially in
- 14:02Speaker 1: clutch time, big time Tyrese Halliburton the most.
- 14:07Speaker 2: Over righted over rated player in the NBA.
- 14:10Speaker 1: He gave the Cleveland Cavaliers players, the defensive player, the
- 14:13Speaker 1: star spider, Mitchell and the coach of the year gave
- 14:17Speaker 1: them an atomic weggie in big moments. An atomic wedgie
- 14:23Speaker 1: is what they got in Indiana. It's kind of embarrassing
- 14:27Speaker 1: when you're out hustled. That's you're the better team. If
- 14:31Speaker 1: the other team out hustle, you can close the gap
- 14:33Speaker 1: that's like the oldest thing in sports, isn't it Like
- 14:36Speaker 1: if the team with the most talent doesn't put the
- 14:39Speaker 1: work in, the team with the less talent can overcome
- 14:42Speaker 1: that and then win the game. And so energy and
- 14:44Speaker 1: effort win the fifty to fifty balls. There was an
- 14:47Speaker 1: old NBA coach, Bill Fitch who say, hustle stats. You
- 14:50Speaker 1: gotta win the hustle stats. You win the hustle statue,
- 14:52Speaker 1: you have a chance to win the game, and good
- 14:54Speaker 1: things will happen to you if you do that. And
- 14:57Speaker 1: it turned out Indiana did that and they win and
- 15:00Speaker 1: Cleveland struggled a lot of careless turnovers, just stupid, stupid decisions.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And so the Pacers are on to the Eastern Finals.
- 15:10Speaker 1: And does anyone think they can't beat the Knicks? I mean,
- 15:13Speaker 1: right now, today we do the show today today, the
- 15:15Speaker 1: matchup will be Indiana and New York barring some kind
- 15:18Speaker 1: of colossal choke job by the Knickerbockers, which I'm not against.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I'm not against that because that'd be good talk radio
- 15:25Speaker 1: having a bunch of New Yorkers crying because their team
- 15:27Speaker 1: blew it against the Celtic team without Jason Tatum. That'd
- 15:30Speaker 1: be good with good stories too. But the Pacers, whether
- 15:34Speaker 1: they play the Celtics without Tatum or they play the
- 15:37Speaker 1: Knicks who are relatively healthy, I'd still give the Pacers
- 15:41Speaker 1: a really good chance of winning that series, if you'd
- 15:44Speaker 1: like to be part eight seven seven ninety nine on
- 15:46Speaker 1: Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Also Pete Rose, He's Back. We did a full Mallard
- 15:54Speaker 1: monologue about that last hour. I see some people still
- 15:56Speaker 1: want to yap about that, but Pete Rose back in baseball, and.
- 16:00Speaker 2: My reaction, Eh, it's kind of eh.
- 16:04Speaker 1: He's dead. Pete predicted this would happen ten days before
- 16:07Speaker 1: he died. Who wants to go in the Hall of
- 16:09Speaker 1: Fame when they're dead? And he's not in the Hall
- 16:11Speaker 1: of Fame yet, just seems like a cheap pr move
- 16:13Speaker 1: by Major League Baseball.
- 16:14Speaker 2: You could have done it Pete had been in poor health.
- 16:16Speaker 1: You could have done this while he was alive in
- 16:18Speaker 1: his final a couple of years, and they chose not
- 16:22Speaker 1: to do it. It's a Weasley moved by Rob Manford
- 16:25Speaker 1: and so there you go, all right anyway?
- 16:27Speaker 2: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
- 16:29Speaker 1: Also on X at Bean Mallord that's at Bean Mahlor,
- 16:34Speaker 1: if you'd like to be part of the program, will

- 16:47Speaker 1: that to come down the line. Also, a former NBA
- 16:53Speaker 1: All Star has an unorthodox theory as to why there
- 16:59Speaker 1: have been so many star players that have suffered the
- 17:04Speaker 1: popped shredded achilles. We'll get to the unorthodox theory on
- 17:09Speaker 1: why that is. And also the modern day Pope of sport,
- 17:13Speaker 1: but not the real Pope. We'll go there as well.
- 17:15Speaker 1: We'll do it all, and we will.

- 17:50Speaker 2: Pope of Sport. The Pope of Sport. We'll get to
- 17:54Speaker 2: that as well.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Late night drug tester right since says the Cavs getting
- 17:58Speaker 1: bounced in the playoffs just proves clear one can't win
- 18:00Speaker 1: a title unless Adam Silver suspends the star player from
- 18:04Speaker 1: the other team.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Well, fairpoint, let's see here page.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Then Pat writes sinces my girlfriend always wondered why I

- 18:50Speaker 1: Pacers were in the conference finals last year. Who did
- 18:53Speaker 1: they beat to advance in the Eastern Conference Finals last year?
- 18:56Speaker 1: The Knicks in seven, and we are about to have

- 19:48Speaker 5: while here, Bernie and talk to you about your ADD
- 19:53Speaker 5: and that'd be your astro's derangement disorder.
- 19:57Speaker 1: Well again, sir, you didn't say it right. You say,
- 20:01Speaker 1: if you're going to say the team name, you've got
- 20:03Speaker 1: to say it right.
- 20:03Speaker 5: The one of means is impolite, Bernie. So can I

- 20:23Speaker 2: Is what you said?
- 20:24Speaker 5: I see, Bernie. I have some questions for you about
- 20:27Speaker 5: about this.
- 20:29Speaker 1: Yes, yes, absolutely, yes, yeah, whatever whatever you need, Deacon.
- 20:33Speaker 5: Yes, you seem unhealthy obsession with them.
- 20:38Speaker 1: I don't know why you would say unhealthy obsession. Team cheated,
- 20:40Speaker 1: they got away with it. The Commissioner of Baseball thought
- 20:43Speaker 1: it was fine ran interference form. None of the players
- 20:45Speaker 1: were punished, And you think that's okay, You're you're fine
- 20:48Speaker 1: with that, You think that that is acceptable behavior by
- 20:51Speaker 1: everyone involved.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Oh no, not at all.
- 20:53Speaker 2: It sounds like you do.
- 20:54Speaker 1: You're calling up You're calling on a random night to
- 20:56Speaker 1: bring up somebody that was not talked about here, So
- 20:59Speaker 1: you obviously feel you feel like it's okay, you feel
- 21:02Speaker 1: like this is acceptable.
- 21:03Speaker 5: Talked about Lernie. If it was talked about in the
- 21:05Speaker 5: first hour, I can remind you if you've forgotten.
- 21:08Speaker 1: It was during the people It was mentioned as a
- 21:10Speaker 1: reference as a reference point. It was not a talking point.
- 21:13Speaker 1: It was a reference point, not a talking point. We
- 21:16Speaker 1: stand correct a reference, but no, not not stand corrected.
- 21:18Speaker 1: A reference point is not a talking point. A talking
- 21:21Speaker 1: point is when that's the meat of the conversation. A
- 21:24Speaker 1: reference point. You don't understand the difference between a reference
- 21:27Speaker 1: point and a talking digress. I'm not digressing. You can
- 21:32Speaker 1: digress if you want. I don't care what you do.
- 21:34Speaker 5: I just want to I just want to help you
- 21:36Speaker 5: because most people, Bernie, move move on from there. Tryna,
- 21:38Speaker 5: after seven or eight years and what two worlds? One
- 21:41Speaker 5: World Series title two World Seriously, it seems like you
- 21:44Speaker 5: should have had gone on.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Okay, So your your defense is, hey, you know a
- 21:48Speaker 1: certain amount of times fast, let it go, so just
- 21:51Speaker 1: do anything and then you know, just wait ten years.
- 21:54Speaker 2: You're good, so you believe you think, So you.
- 21:57Speaker 1: Go out and rob how about this, go out and
- 21:59Speaker 1: rob a bunch of bands, get get away with it,
- 22:02Speaker 1: and then wait like ten or fifteen years, and if
- 22:04Speaker 1: the cops, the FBI tracks, she does say, listen, dude,
- 22:06Speaker 1: it's been fifteen years, let it go, okay, I mean
- 22:09Speaker 1: it's been I robbed the banks, but I did rob
- 22:11Speaker 1: all those banks. It's been fifteen years. I'm sure the
- 22:14Speaker 1: FBI will let you go. They won't punish you at all,
- 22:16Speaker 1: one hundred percent. That's a great idea. Go start robbing
- 22:19Speaker 1: banks and tell the FBI wait ten years, go out
- 22:22Speaker 1: live in a shack in Montana, and then when the
- 22:24Speaker 1: FBI finds you, say, listen, dude, it's been ten years,
- 22:26Speaker 1: let it go.
- 22:27Speaker 2: What do you have some kind of mental illness?
- 22:30Speaker 5: I'll see. I see. I thought this was a call
- 22:33Speaker 5: in show, Bernie, A different show.
- 22:36Speaker 1: Well, if the callers suck, if the callers blow, it's
- 22:39Speaker 1: not a call in show.
- 22:40Speaker 2: See, it's just the host talking. That's how that works.
- 22:42Speaker 5: I do have a question for you, Bernie, legitimate quick.
- 22:45Speaker 2: Well, thank you. I'm glad finally someone has respect for me, Bernie.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Finally let me ask you.
- 22:51Speaker 5: Yes, and I'm going to tell you I'm here, living
- 22:54Speaker 5: Houston my whole life, and I'll fully admit. These guys
- 22:58Speaker 5: cheated like a sex addict with a all passed from
- 23:00Speaker 5: their spouse. Oh nobody admit.
- 23:03Speaker 2: All right, that's good. Okay, listen, if you've got a
- 23:05Speaker 2: pass is a cheating that's a good point.
- 23:08Speaker 1: Uh, how about one remember that basketball player Andre Kierlinko
- 23:12Speaker 1: was allowed one day. Yeah, every guy wants that deal
- 23:15Speaker 1: one day to go out there and do Iternie.
- 23:17Speaker 5: Because I am genuinely curious.
- 23:19Speaker 2: Yes, Deacon, I love that you keep saying my name.
- 23:22Speaker 1: By the way, very respectful to say my name, my name, Bernie,
- 23:24Speaker 1: very respectful.
- 23:27Speaker 5: We did come to learn that Alex kra was the
- 23:29Speaker 5: mastermind behind the scandal, right uh. And then he went
- 23:35Speaker 5: and moved on to the Red Sox and recreated the
- 23:38Speaker 5: scandal the next year. And I do believe he beat
- 23:41Speaker 5: the Dodgers even worse than the Astros did, so he
- 23:44Speaker 5: had perfected the scandal by the time he got the cheating.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Well I would, I would.
- 23:49Speaker 1: I would argue the wire that Altuve had, the buzzer
- 23:53Speaker 1: that they let that go unchecked, that was a big
- 23:57Speaker 1: part of it. And the guy, the guy, the guy
- 23:59Speaker 1: was wired like he was going it was a wire
- 24:01Speaker 1: tap with a little buzzer.
- 24:03Speaker 5: Yes, I just want to ask you, this is Bernie.
- 24:05Speaker 1: And then yes, let again, thank you for saying my name, Deacon.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I appreciate that, drick kind of you to say. And
- 24:10Speaker 1: I've given you a lot of airtime because my name
- 24:12Speaker 1: is Bernie ben Maller would not give you a lot
- 24:15Speaker 1: of airtime.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Ben Maller would have.
- 24:16Speaker 1: Hung up on you and called you a schmuck and
- 24:19Speaker 1: a schmendrick and a loser. But Bernie allows you to talk.
- 24:26Speaker 5: Yes, I'm curious as to why you don't share the
- 24:30Speaker 5: same hatred and despise for the Red Sox that you
- 24:34Speaker 5: do for the Astros, because they both did the same
- 24:37Speaker 5: thing to your dodge.
- 24:38Speaker 1: Well again, see, the disease started. The infestation started in Houston,
- 24:43Speaker 1: So I go back. It's kind of like saying we
- 24:45Speaker 1: had the pandemic and it started at a lab in China.
- 24:50Speaker 1: But I'm upset because somebody came to America and some city.
- 24:54Speaker 1: You pick a city in America, I'm upset with that's it. Well, no,
- 24:56Speaker 1: I'm upset with where it started. I'm upset with that origin.
- 25:00Speaker 5: That would be alex Core, not the city.
- 25:02Speaker 2: Well again, you're you're blaming it all on ours Core.
- 25:05Speaker 1: But I would say, jose al touve or al Boo,
- 25:08Speaker 1: all right, I mean we're going, we're.
- 25:09Speaker 2: Going, and we're going to veg you, deacon. I appreciate
- 25:12Speaker 2: that very kind. All right, give you.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Wait too much air time? Let's say now say hello
- 25:16Speaker 1: to Andrea. She's got the star chart. I remember the
- 25:20Speaker 1: full moon. We're doing the afterglow of the full moon,
- 25:23Speaker 1: which happened this week, and so full moon the week before,
- 25:27Speaker 1: week after gets a little zany. Hello Andrea, welcome, hell Ben,
- 25:33Speaker 1: how are you. I just spoke to the deacon.
- 25:37Speaker 6: Yeah, I like you said, we kill the full moon
- 25:40Speaker 6: two days before the day of and two days after.
- 25:42Speaker 2: Yes, yes, still.
- 25:44Speaker 6: Feeling the intense energy of the full moon. And thanks
- 25:48Speaker 6: for going with the flow. You're a good sport. And
- 25:51Speaker 6: uh yeah, speaking of someone who I never thought was
- 25:53Speaker 6: a good sport, that Pete Rose. And he was like
- 25:58Speaker 6: he gave aries a bad name. He was like such
- 26:01Speaker 6: a bully. And I remember well his birthday April fourteen,
- 26:05Speaker 6: nineteen forty one. That whole fight with Bud Harrelson that
- 26:09Speaker 6: was in nineteen seventy three versus the Mets. That was
- 26:12Speaker 6: the year I got into baseball with the Mets, you
- 26:15Speaker 6: gotta believe season, And that whole altercation when he stood
- 26:19Speaker 6: into second base and took out Bud Harrelson and the
- 26:23Speaker 6: fight that ensued was just like crazy, that was like
- 26:27Speaker 6: unheard of.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Well, Pete was for those and I saw him near
- 26:31Speaker 2: the end of his career.
- 26:32Speaker 1: But Pete Rose was the antithesis of the modern player,
- 26:36Speaker 1: like the modern athlete, load management, don't hustle. That was
- 26:41Speaker 1: thus the nickname for even back then, even when players
- 26:43Speaker 1: did hustle. When Pete played, he still was beyond what
- 26:47Speaker 1: the other players did. He had one gear. He didn't
- 26:49Speaker 1: have a second gear.
- 26:50Speaker 2: He had like one.
- 26:51Speaker 1: It's like a pitcher with just a fastball, no breaking ball,
- 26:53Speaker 1: just one pitch. That was the way he played.
- 26:55Speaker 2: And yeah, there were people that hated Remember the.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Famous All Star Game moment Saucy, Yeah, I took out
- 27:02Speaker 1: Ray Foster was a great broadcaster for the A's for.
- 27:05Speaker 6: Years, led into Ray Saucy.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, an All Star Game and yeah, think about that.
- 27:11Speaker 1: And then where baseball got where the All Star Game
- 27:13Speaker 1: the players were leaving during the game to get to
- 27:15Speaker 1: the airport like that.
- 27:17Speaker 2: Someone that was so stupid.
- 27:18Speaker 6: Oh my god, I was back in the day when
- 27:20Speaker 6: it meant something.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there was like pride. You're a National League player.
- 27:25Speaker 1: You hated the American League. Now they're all it's one
- 27:27Speaker 1: and the same.
- 27:27Speaker 5: They don't care well, I mean.
- 27:28Speaker 6: And it doesn't stand for anything, you know, so if
- 27:31Speaker 6: you win, I don't think it does anything for the league.
- 27:34Speaker 6: So that said, I mean Pee Rose, you know, the
- 27:36Speaker 6: aris energy, you know, on one hand, is very you know, energetic,
- 27:41Speaker 6: but the other part, you know, headstrong really describes his energy.
- 27:44Speaker 6: And he had that kind of full, hardy nature and
- 27:47Speaker 6: he was very aggressive and overpowering. So that's you know,
- 27:51Speaker 6: three planets and aries. He kind of was somewhat belligerent
- 27:55Speaker 6: and brusque, so I remember him being just very over
- 27:58Speaker 6: zealous and combative is and like, Mets fans never forgave him,
- 28:03Speaker 6: you know New York Mets fans so well.
- 28:06Speaker 1: New York fans do not do not forget. They do
- 28:09Speaker 1: not much like I don't forget. I don't forget things.
- 28:12Speaker 6: They don't forget and forget very easily either. I have
- 28:15Speaker 6: Taurus Rising really understand. But yeah, the Pete Rose, they
- 28:19Speaker 6: brought a lot of stuff up. It's like, wow, that's
- 28:21Speaker 6: the first thing I think of when I think of
- 28:23Speaker 6: Pete Rose. I mean, be size all the scandals and
- 28:26Speaker 6: so on with the Hall of Fame and yeah, the drugs,
- 28:28Speaker 6: but it's like.
- 28:29Speaker 1: But hell, and and then there you go, that's and
- 28:31Speaker 1: that hasn't been brought up by many people. But that
- 28:33Speaker 1: is certainly part of Pete's story and all that, and
- 28:37Speaker 1: so we'll see.
- 28:38Speaker 2: Twenty twenty eight. That's the first chance he'll be in
- 28:42Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame.
- 28:43Speaker 6: But he's not going to be there, so right, I
- 28:45Speaker 6: get to be there in his own airy spirit.
- 28:48Speaker 1: Maybe he'll come and haunt the Hall of Fame. He'll
- 28:53Speaker 1: spook the Hall of Fame, happy, funny anything. Yeah, he'll
- 28:57Speaker 1: come back and be like they're going to hire the
- 28:59Speaker 1: ghosts because Pete's haunting.
- 29:01Speaker 2: The Hall of Fame.
- 29:02Speaker 1: All right, virgo, thank you, Andrea, appreciate that, very good memory.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Absolutely, there's our friend. Andrea grew up a Mets fan.
- 29:12Speaker 2: That's why she's got that. She became an A's fan.
- 29:15Speaker 1: But now they're in Sacramento, but they're too embarrassed to
- 29:18Speaker 1: say they're in Sacramento, so they have to just say
- 29:19Speaker 1: they're the athletics. They're a team with no city affiliation,
- 29:23Speaker 1: which is so embarrassing. Like anybody who's involved in Sacramento
- 29:27Speaker 1: that allowed that to happen should be losing their position.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Politically, Like why would you allow a team to go there?
- 29:33Speaker 1: They're so embarrassed by your city that you can't they
- 29:35Speaker 1: can't say the name of the city, and they're gonna
- 29:37Speaker 1: be there for three seasons at least from what I've heard,
- 29:41Speaker 1: till that stadium gets done in Vegas. So dumb to
- 29:46Speaker 1: dum dumb dumb.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:47Speaker 2: Anyway, speaking of dumbd dumb, dumb dumb. Yeah, Poppy in

- 30:30Speaker 3: you would have been three and no. And I've been

- 30:35Speaker 3: guys got a look on the day up and you
- 30:37Speaker 3: would have made money.
- 30:38Speaker 1: But look, yeah, but the problem is, Poppy, whatever outcome
- 30:41Speaker 1: of the game, you say, well, Scott Foster wanted that
- 30:43Speaker 1: team to win. But it's not always the home team.
- 30:46Speaker 1: It's not always the road team. It's not one hundred percent.
- 30:48Speaker 1: But then after the fact, Poppy, You're like, well, Scott
- 30:51Speaker 1: Foster wanted that outcome.
- 30:54Speaker 3: Well, it's it's it's always a it's always a home team.

- 32:03Speaker 1: b Well, there you go, our buddy Poppy. Before NBA
- 32:07Speaker 1: All Star, Nick van Exel can't Coon Man one two three,
- 32:11Speaker 1: can't go. Nick van Exel has decided who's to blame
- 32:15Speaker 1: for the Achilles injury to Jason Tatum, the Dame Lillard
- 32:20Speaker 1: Achilles injury. He went on a social media tire right
- 32:23Speaker 1: now and Van Exel wasn't assistant coach in the NBA.
- 32:27Speaker 1: I don't think he is right now, but he said.
- 32:28Speaker 1: There has been Achilles tears throughout the years. But my thoughts,
- 32:32Speaker 1: Van Xel said on them is that they happen more
- 32:34Speaker 1: often now, and I think that's something to do with them. Damn,
- 32:40Speaker 1: low's the players wearing now? He's meaning shoes cover up
- 32:43Speaker 1: those ankles, he said. So van Xel's theory is it's
- 32:47Speaker 1: the shoes. Isn't that a direc shot at like Nike?
- 32:51Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think it is. Uh, I would
- 32:54Speaker 1: argue it's like condition. I've seen some of these these
- 32:58Speaker 1: online doctors. I don't even know their real doctors. They
- 33:00Speaker 1: are online doctors, and they claim that there's injections that
- 33:04Speaker 1: you can get every six months. If you're a professional athlete,
- 33:07Speaker 1: you'll not pop your achilles. That there's some kind of inject.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Which just a lot. They claim it's allowed. Trust Yeah, yeah,
- 33:14Speaker 2: and it's expensive. But if you're an athlete you can
- 33:17Speaker 2: Does it turn your achilles into like rubber or something? Well,
- 33:22Speaker 2: I'm not a doctor. I can play one on the radio,
- 33:24Speaker 2: Curious I sit to where it won't do it.
- 33:27Speaker 7: I mean that sounds like a miracle.
- 33:30Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, that's what they claim. Of course, they
- 33:33Speaker 1: might also be promoting it because they make money on it,
- 33:35Speaker 1: so that's also possible.
- 33:37Speaker 2: That might be part of it.
- 33:38Speaker 1: What's that called where like they just tell you it
- 33:40Speaker 1: does something but it doesn't actually the effects? Oh that yeah,
- 33:44Speaker 1: the placebo effects sell that in a bottle. How wild
- 33:48Speaker 1: our human beings that the placebo effect actually works?
- 33:52Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 33:52Speaker 2: If I ever get like an earache.
- 33:54Speaker 7: All I have to do is pull on this part
- 33:56Speaker 7: of my ear and I've told myself it makes it
- 33:58Speaker 7: go away, just like that goes away.
- 34:01Speaker 2: If you have a headache, if you rub your wrist,
- 34:03Speaker 2: it'll it actually does work. If you have the hiccups,
- 34:05Speaker 2: you can eat a spoonful of peanut butter. No, you
- 34:07Speaker 2: have to hold your breath, right if you have the

- 36:16Speaker 7: do you give of car unretiring at some point?
- 36:18Speaker 2: All right?
- 36:19Speaker 1: So, A, I believe teams will contact car about coming
- 36:22Speaker 1: out of retirement and playing and all that. I don't
- 36:25Speaker 1: think it's going to happen. I just think he's not
- 36:28Speaker 1: that he wasn't that good. I think he's burned out
- 36:31Speaker 1: on football right now, obviously. So do I think people
- 36:33Speaker 1: will call him?
- 36:34Speaker 4: Yes?
- 36:34Speaker 1: Do I think that's gonna happen though, And B I
- 36:37Speaker 1: see him as a televangelist. I see him as a

- 36:55Speaker 7: Giannis and Tetekombo.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Yeah, Ben, does the Greek.
- 36:58Speaker 7: Freak make the MAVs immediate champion ship contenders? No?
- 37:01Speaker 1: Because Anthony Davis has hurt all the time. Kyrie Irving's

- 37:07Speaker 1: a good player, but you have the same issue. They're
- 37:10Speaker 1: all hurt.

- 37:19Speaker 7: MLB has already seen two managers get the boots so
- 37:21Speaker 7: far this season, and now some are suggesting that Braves
- 37:24Speaker 7: manager Brian Snicker could be next.
- 37:26Speaker 5: Ben.

- 37:29Speaker 7: Do you think his seat is officially hot?
- 37:31Speaker 1: Well, yes, because as I understand it, this is going
- 37:33Speaker 1: to be his last year anyway. A lot of the
- 37:35Speaker 1: talk is that he's going to retire after this year.

- 37:40Speaker 1: should be fired first, Brandon Hide of the Orioles, they're terrible.
