0:08
Speaker 2: roll on the Ben Mather Show on this Wednesday, the
0:11
Speaker 2: twenty seventh day of May, and we go to Boston.
0:16
Speaker 1: Give me the word for Joe Missoula being named the
0:21
Speaker 1: NBA's Coach of the Year after calling the awards stupid
0:24
Speaker 1: during the season as the Celtics were navigating things with
0:28
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum's injury. Also, can you explain what message the
0:32
Speaker 1: Cavaliers are sending by retaining Kenny analytically Atkinson as head
0:39
Speaker 1: coach after they were swept out of the playoffs and
0:43
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. Also, do you buy the scuttle
0:46
Speaker 1: butt about owner Tom Dundin in Oregon taking steps to
0:52
Speaker 1: relocate the beloved trail Blazers off the Oregon Trail. We'll
0:57
Speaker 1: discuss that as well. We also have a big hour
1:00
Speaker 1: of bits ahead on the Ben Mallard Show. Here in
1:02
Speaker 1: our number three. Not only do we have Mallard of
1:06
Speaker 1: the third degree time shifted, we also have the Malard
1:08
Speaker 1: riddle of the day, too much or not enough? And
1:11
Speaker 1: the Queen of Hearts. All that coming away right here.
1:13
Speaker 1: It's our number three, and it's ready right now the
1:20
Speaker 1: Green Team and a dream.
1:23
Speaker 3: As I yell over the music here, Welcome in the
1:29
Speaker 3: beginning of another hour of the Ben Mallard Show.
1:33
Speaker 1: As we are in the air of reware, cheat to cheek,
1:41
Speaker 1: as we are deliciously dense coast to coast, border to
1:46
Speaker 1: border and beyond on the vast and majestically powerful microphones
1:53
Speaker 1: of FSR ammating live from the ride. It's a bumpity
1:59
Speaker 1: bump and a bumpity bumpity ride on the Rocky Road
2:05
Speaker 1: Garanteed human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
2:11
Speaker 1: where Wayne from Duluth complains that there's too much energy.
2:15
Speaker 1: Wayne would like a boring talk show host to do
2:18
Speaker 1: boring talk radio. But Wayne reminds us this hour made
2:22
Speaker 1: possible by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
2:26
Speaker 1: that's a long time. Ty Iraq has been helping customers
2:29
Speaker 1: like none other than monkey Biz Doug in South Korea
2:33
Speaker 1: and the Higher Glizzie from Rhode Island find the right
2:37
Speaker 1: tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship fast
2:41
Speaker 1: end Fred back by free road hazard protection with convenient
2:43
Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation, tirerac dot Com. The
2:48
Speaker 1: way tire buying should be you see how that works now,
2:55
Speaker 1: listener James writes in and he reminds us and I
2:59
Speaker 1: think it was Jonathan and Delaware. It could have been Keelinepie. Bobby,
3:06
Speaker 1: one of those guys said, what about Express employment Professionals?
3:09
Speaker 1: Tired of endless job board searches? With Express Employment Professionals,
3:14
Speaker 1: one application connects you to multiple jobs and job seekers
3:18
Speaker 1: never pay a fee, get weekly, pay local support and
3:23
Speaker 1: real opportunities. Is it expresspros dot com? Today? That's expresspros
3:29
Speaker 1: dot com. And with that we're back at it here
3:34
Speaker 1: in this hour number three is where you are side
3:37
Speaker 1: by side bloving it. We will have malor to the
3:41
Speaker 1: third degree, time shifter. We have the Riddle of the Day,
3:43
Speaker 1: a lot of bits, too much or not enough, the
3:45
Speaker 1: Queen of Hearts. It's heavy on the bitch. If you
3:47
Speaker 1: want to send a question in for the Queen of Hearts,
3:49
Speaker 1: to do that right now hashtag Queen of Hearts and
3:53
Speaker 1: we'll use that later on as well. And too much
3:56
Speaker 1: or not enough our lead this hour, though, is from Boston,
4:01
Speaker 1: where the Boston Celtics were eliminated by the lowly Philadelphia
4:06
Speaker 1: seventy six. Is how embarrassing in the first round. However,
4:09
Speaker 1: the awards are given out based on the regular season
4:15
Speaker 1: head coach Joe Missoula, who famously called the NBA's Coach
4:20
Speaker 1: of the Year award stupid. Well, do you see what happened?
4:24
Speaker 1: I think you can tell what's about to happen here.
4:26
Speaker 1: If you haven't heard yet, perhaps not well. Joe Missoula
4:30
Speaker 1: was given the NBA Coach of the Year award. Let
4:37
Speaker 1: him play, Joe, Let him play Joe, and the quote
4:43
Speaker 1: that he gave during the season, he said, don't need it.
4:45
Speaker 1: When asked back a few months ago about winning, possibly
4:49
Speaker 1: winning the NBA Coach of the Year, he said, don't
4:50
Speaker 1: need it. I think it's a stupid award. Joe Mizoula said,
4:54
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have it, And it's more about the players.
4:57
Speaker 1: It's more about the work that the staff puts in.
5:00
Speaker 1: It's just that simple, he said. I really don't ever
5:03
Speaker 1: want to be asked or talk about it again. He said,
5:07
Speaker 1: it's just that dumb dumb bre dum, dumb dumb. So
5:13
Speaker 1: the players play, it's all about them, Misoula said, quote continues,
5:16
Speaker 1: the staff works their asses off. I'm grateful to have
5:19
Speaker 1: them close quote. So that is a good jumping out point,
5:23
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question give me the word. I
5:27
Speaker 1: love words, Give me the word for Celtics coach Joe
5:31
Speaker 1: Missoula being named the NBA's Coach of the Year after
5:35
Speaker 1: calling the award quote stupid. So my views on this,
5:39
Speaker 1: I've got six pack, Gopher, and HGTV and we will
5:46
Speaker 1: combine all of these random things together and we are
5:53
Speaker 1: going to pick somebody's brain. I don't know who. We're
5:55
Speaker 1: gonna pick somebody's brain. So now, first of all, the word,
6:00
Speaker 1: the word that we are going to use here is
6:03
Speaker 1: a word that Al Michaels used to use all the time.
6:05
Speaker 1: The word is farcical. That is the word we're going
6:08
Speaker 1: to use. Farcicle. Joel Mizzoula basically told the NBA world
6:13
Speaker 1: keep your stupid trophy. I don't want your trophy, is
6:17
Speaker 1: what he said. He yelled, and the league looked at him.
6:21
Speaker 1: The people that vote for this, the media elites in
6:25
Speaker 1: the NBA looked at this, and they looked at him
6:27
Speaker 1: and they said, now you take it anyway, it's your award.
6:31
Speaker 1: You talk about the dramatic irony. It turns out that
6:36
Speaker 1: following a complete roster overhaul, one that saw the Celtics
6:41
Speaker 1: say bye bye to core pieces like Christops Porzingis, Drew Holiday,
6:47
Speaker 1: and average Al Horford. They also lost Jason Tatum for
6:52
Speaker 1: sixty two games because of Oh Snap, Crackle, Pop goes
6:56
Speaker 1: the Achilles, and the Boston basketball team still finished second
7:02
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference before they were decommissioned in the
7:06
Speaker 1: opening round of the playoffs. So apparently Joe Missoula hates
7:12
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year awards so much. I guess
7:16
Speaker 1: he went out and wanted to kind of prove a point,
7:18
Speaker 1: is what he did, unless he had no intention of
7:21
Speaker 1: winning it. He just seems like a very like a
7:23
Speaker 1: space cadet. There's a lot going on with Joe Mizzoula.
7:27
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things going on here. Or it's
7:30
Speaker 1: the universe, the football universe, rewarding pure indifference, just absolute indifferent.
7:40
Speaker 1: Now this is classic modern marketing. It's like the anti
7:45
Speaker 1: brand officially becomes the brand as the rebels the rebels
7:50
Speaker 1: out there. And only in a place like Boston do
7:54
Speaker 1: you call an award stupid multiple times, the Coach of
7:58
Speaker 1: the Awards stupid and you win it anyway, That's what
8:03
Speaker 1: happened here. And then still look, I'm sure visibly annoyed
8:06
Speaker 1: if you can find Joe Missoula, who's likely hanging out
8:10
Speaker 1: with some Buddhist monks somewhere up in the in the hills,
8:15
Speaker 1: and so Joe Mazula accepting the highest individual coaching honor,
8:20
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year, and the exact same way
8:24
Speaker 1: that if like you were a teenager and your mom
8:27
Speaker 1: and dad got you for Christmas or Hanukkah a six
8:30
Speaker 1: pack of socks, you would be disgusted. You would be
8:34
Speaker 1: so fricking annoyed. You're like, I look forward to this
8:36
Speaker 1: all year and you got me sucks. But yes, you
8:39
Speaker 1: need sucks. I know I need sucks. But that's not
8:42
Speaker 1: a gift. I don't want that gift. That's not a
8:45
Speaker 1: good gift. That's something you buy in June or July.
8:48
Speaker 1: You don't buy socks in December. What's wrong with you?
8:52
Speaker 1: Secondly to Cleveland, the adutopsy continues on those choking cadavers
8:59
Speaker 1: who bear themselves so much so Dick and Dayton hasn't
9:03
Speaker 1: called in a while. He's so embarrassed by the Cleveland
9:05
Speaker 1: basketball team, unless he doesn't even know they lost. So
9:07
Speaker 1: the fallout from the Cavaliers getting a broom shoved up
9:11
Speaker 1: their cabose, if you will, by the Knickerbockers. Now we
9:16
Speaker 1: have learned that the team that would be the Cleveland
9:19
Speaker 1: basketball team has decided on the future of Kenny Atkinson.
9:23
Speaker 1: Are they A going to fire Kenny Atkinson, B going
9:29
Speaker 1: to retain Kenny Atkinson or C haven't decided yet, So
9:36
Speaker 1: the answer reveal answers. According to Shams Sharadia, he tells
9:40
Speaker 1: us it's B. So if you picked B, you're a winner.
9:43
Speaker 1: Kenny Atkinson is going to return as the head coach
9:47
Speaker 1: of the Cavaliers for a third season. He is coming
9:52
Speaker 1: back to the question, can you explain what message the
9:56
Speaker 1: Calves are sending by retaining Kenny Atkinson as the head
10:00
Speaker 1: coach after being absolutely embarrassed in the Eastern Conference finals.
10:06
Speaker 1: So you absolutely quit that team, quit and you're going
10:10
Speaker 1: to keep the coach. So by keeping Kenny Atkinson on
10:14
Speaker 1: the payroll after getting the broom here, what that did?
10:19
Speaker 1: All right? It sent a message, unmistakable message. And the
10:24
Speaker 1: message it's sent from the ownership in the front office
10:28
Speaker 1: is we are very happy with Compliant. We like Compliant,
10:33
Speaker 1: we love analytics, and we want our coach to be
10:37
Speaker 1: analytically driven and just repeat the dogma that we have.
10:42
Speaker 1: And this is our perfect coach because we've got a
10:45
Speaker 1: bunch of nerds and they decide when guys play and
10:48
Speaker 1: how many minutes they play. And this Dodo brain over
10:52
Speaker 1: here just does whatever he's told. He's a middle manager
10:56
Speaker 1: and not a feel of the game coach, not hey,
11:00
Speaker 1: let me do the eye test. No no, no, no no.
11:02
Speaker 1: So they chose the process over the pulse because that
11:06
Speaker 1: team had no pulse against the Knickerbockers in the Eastern Finals,
11:09
Speaker 1: and they decided, I want obedience over on court instincts.
11:14
Speaker 1: And the same thing with Joe Missoula in Boston. Although
11:17
Speaker 1: we're talking obviously about the Cavaliers here and they're saying, hey,
11:21
Speaker 1: we do not want a traditional coach. We don't want
11:25
Speaker 1: a traditional coach. We want a mere messenger pigeon to
11:30
Speaker 1: repeat the company line, to protect the data department. That
11:35
Speaker 1: is what we want here. And Atkinson at this point,
11:37
Speaker 1: he is a corporate gopher, is what he is. He's
11:41
Speaker 1: printing power points out and nodding on Q. That's the
11:46
Speaker 1: move here. Cleveland is doubling down, down, down down. They're
11:50
Speaker 1: doubling down on a guy who defended James Harden's defense.
11:55
Speaker 1: Now I realize these coaches are supposed to stand by
11:58
Speaker 1: your players when somebody is that guilty of malfeasans, they
12:03
Speaker 1: go completely a wall. You don't need to defend him.
12:06
Speaker 1: You need to rip them, is what you need to do.
12:10
Speaker 1: He blamed team concepts rather than lack of defensive ability,
12:16
Speaker 1: and Atkinson also famously said the thing that will haunt
12:20
Speaker 1: him like a poltergeist the rest of his career. Kenny
12:24
Speaker 1: Atkinson said that after three games, the Cleveland Cavaliers analytically
12:31
Speaker 1: had the lead in the series that expected shots made
12:36
Speaker 1: and the analytics said that they had won. That's the guy.
12:40
Speaker 1: The ownership said, we love this guy, we want him back.
12:43
Speaker 1: The Calves didn't lose the series, they lost the algorithm unfortunately,
12:48
Speaker 1: and says it's not a guy coaching, that's a guy
12:50
Speaker 1: guzzling the Nerd kool Aid. Can I have more? No,
12:54
Speaker 1: you've had too much. I want more Nerd kool aid.
12:57
Speaker 1: Give me the nerd kool aid. Come on, come on, no,
13:02
Speaker 1: that's what that is. Now. Back in my day, when
13:05
Speaker 1: I was a young pup, if your team got swept
13:07
Speaker 1: and gave up and quit like choking dogs, somebody lost
13:12
Speaker 1: their job. The coach normally lost their job. Instead, in
13:15
Speaker 1: the modern era in Cleveland, you are rewarded. You just
13:19
Speaker 1: rewarded a guy who refused to call out the obvious
13:23
Speaker 1: failures of his star players because he's intimidated about their feelings,
13:27
Speaker 1: because they're soft. He's admitting the players are soft. Otherwise
13:30
Speaker 1: you'd call them out. And Atkinson's flaw is this absolute
13:38
Speaker 1: obsession with analytics and an absence of instinct. That's the issue,
13:44
Speaker 1: ignoring his lying eyes. If you will trust the model,
13:50
Speaker 1: trust what if we shoot the shots in certain spots
13:53
Speaker 1: on the court, We're gonna win the game. No, we
13:55
Speaker 1: have lost. Get lost all the games, dummy. And it's
13:59
Speaker 1: like Joe Mozilla would say, control the controller bills, which
14:03
Speaker 1: made me want to poke his eyes out. Control the
14:05
Speaker 1: controller bills. The Cavs organization would rather be right on
14:11
Speaker 1: their tablets where they have the analytical programs. They'd rather
14:14
Speaker 1: be right on the tablet than right on the scoreboard.
14:18
Speaker 1: All right, final thought. We now go to the Oregon
14:21
Speaker 1: Trail where sports business insiders tell us that this guy
14:26
Speaker 1: Tom Dundon, who Tom Dunne, owns the professional basketball team
14:32
Speaker 1: in the State of Oregon, and the expectation is he
14:36
Speaker 1: will do everything in his power to move the Trailblazers
14:42
Speaker 1: out of Portland. Is essentially giving an ultimatum to the
14:48
Speaker 1: Wokester moon Bat politicians in Portland that regularly allow the
14:53
Speaker 1: lunatics to take over that fine city. So the public financing,
14:58
Speaker 1: it's essentially, hey, give us some public financing what we
15:03
Speaker 1: want for our arena, and we have a list of demands,
15:06
Speaker 1: and if you don't meet our demands, then we're going
15:11
Speaker 1: to leave. And NBA owners never ever reject a relocation
15:17
Speaker 1: and the reason they don't reject the relocation is because
15:21
Speaker 1: they want to have the option to stick it to
15:24
Speaker 1: some local politicians and possibly move their franchises. And they
15:28
Speaker 1: also get paid. There's a relocation fee that teams have
15:31
Speaker 1: to pay when franchises relocate. So the question do you
15:35
Speaker 1: buy the scuttle bud about owner Tom Dundan taking steps
15:40
Speaker 1: to say bye bye to Portland for the Trailblazers. So
15:47
Speaker 1: if you follow this story at all, the Blazers fired
15:50
Speaker 1: around seventy employees, many of them longtime employees, and the
15:55
Speaker 1: owner got up at the DAIS, did an interview and said, yeah,
15:58
Speaker 1: you know, we just don't want any of our employees
16:01
Speaker 1: to be bored. We want them to do more work,
16:04
Speaker 1: which just sounds like the radio business. Holy crap. Anyway,
16:09
Speaker 1: so he's cut so many corners. How many corners does
16:14
Speaker 1: he cut? He's cut so many corners here, he's basically
16:16
Speaker 1: running the franchise like an episode of HGTV's Flip or Flop.
16:21
Speaker 1: That's what this is, right, cheap paint, cheap labor, and
16:25
Speaker 1: then Boom goes to Dynamite sell the franchise to some
16:30
Speaker 1: other politicians. You get the tax breaks you want, and
16:33
Speaker 1: you relocate the franchise somewhere else. Now, there's a theory
16:37
Speaker 1: going around that Tom Dundon would like to get the
16:40
Speaker 1: Blazers to Seattle because that's going to be an expansion team.
16:44
Speaker 1: He said, well, I can move the Triple. I'm guessing
16:45
Speaker 1: the people of Seattle would rather have the team called
16:48
Speaker 1: the SuperSonics back if they do get pro bouncy ball again. So, anyway,
16:53
Speaker 1: he's cost cutting and all that. It's a warning label.
16:57
Speaker 1: And what does the warning label say? You don't lay
16:59
Speaker 1: off that amount of employees, longtime loyal employees for your team.
17:05
Speaker 1: You don't cancel T shirt giveaways and outlaw two way
17:08
Speaker 1: players from traveling and demanding everyone checks out of their
17:12
Speaker 1: hotel room and they don't have to pay extra fees
17:15
Speaker 1: and all that. You don't do all that stuff unless
17:18
Speaker 1: you're preparing to crank up the old boombox and play
17:21
Speaker 1: Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel means it's gonna be Heartbreak City.
17:26
Speaker 1: That's it. We've seen this movie many times over the years,
17:29
Speaker 1: the old Saint Louis Rams, the Montreal expos. You can
17:33
Speaker 1: look at the big board there. You starve the market,
17:36
Speaker 1: you blame the market, you abandon the market and move on.
17:40
Speaker 1: That's what the Sonics did. They had that oil baron
17:42
Speaker 1: that came in from oklaholmas well, I want money for
17:45
Speaker 1: a stadium and all this stuff. It's like the sequel.
17:48
Speaker 1: It feels less like in a rena negotiation and more
17:53
Speaker 1: like a hostage video where the hostage is the leaders,
17:57
Speaker 1: the people of Portland and it's a shakedown. They have
18:00
Speaker 1: really good lighting though, so it's not like not bad lighting,
18:03
Speaker 1: it's good. They have good lighting. And Tom dunnan will smile.
18:06
Speaker 1: This guy's gonna smile at you. He's gonna shake hands,
18:08
Speaker 1: he's going to tell you, I'm not doing this. I'm
18:10
Speaker 1: not going to relocate the franchise. And then very quietly,
18:14
Speaker 1: he's going to slide a letter, a legal letter demanding
18:20
Speaker 1: that the franchise get X amount of dollars or they're
18:22
Speaker 1: going to relocate across the table like it's a check
18:26
Speaker 1: at dinner and you got to give the credit card
18:29
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So taxpayers get ready, Dundon asking
18:33
Speaker 1: to get a blank check and a foot rop. Good
18:38
Speaker 1: luck on that, Good luck on that. You can practically
18:41
Speaker 1: hear the Mayflower moving vans in the parking lot is
18:44
Speaker 1: the Ben Mallor show. And you know what you can
18:46
Speaker 1: hear right now? You can hear the big voice guy
18:49
Speaker 1: right now here, you go right there, hit that big
18:51
Speaker 1: voice guy, hits that. But that's the button, that's it. Yeah,
18:55
Speaker 1: but that degree.
18:58
Speaker 4: This is one that gets quilled.
19:01
Speaker 1: And the coop Dal loop.
19:05
Speaker 5: What Jason Kelsey said on his podcast that the NFL
19:08
Speaker 5: has always been synonymous with Sundays and that Sunday always
19:12
Speaker 5: being an event to help the NFL get as big
19:14
Speaker 5: as it is, and now he's worried that the league
19:16
Speaker 5: is getting away from that with all of these different
19:19
Speaker 5: games across different days of the week.
19:21
Speaker 1: But you think it's a bad thing. It's not a
19:24
Speaker 1: bad thing. It's times changed. The NFL wants global domination.
19:30
Speaker 1: That's what they want. And it was like picking in
19:32
Speaker 1: the brain. What are we gonna do tonight. We're gonna
19:34
Speaker 1: take over, gonna dominate the world. That's the NFL's mantra.
19:37
Speaker 1: And so it's really just squeezed every dollar out of
19:39
Speaker 1: to you. I know why the NFL's doing it. They
19:41
Speaker 1: want they want more money. TV's like, all right, you've
19:43
Speaker 1: fully monetized Sunday and Sunday night, so let's do Monday.
19:47
Speaker 1: Give me a Wednesday, give me a Friday. And so
19:51
Speaker 1: that's why they're a greedy. There is a breaking point.
19:55
Speaker 1: I don't believe we're near the breaking point yet. I
19:58
Speaker 1: will tell you these international games are gonna piss a
19:59
Speaker 1: lot people off. When every team's playing in the national games,
20:02
Speaker 1: that'll be a bigger problem than playing games at different
20:05
Speaker 1: days of the week.
20:06
Speaker 5: Next, Jalen Brown made the All NBA Second Team for
20:10
Speaker 5: the second time in his career, but he felt like
20:12
Speaker 5: he was snubbed for first team honors. During a live stream,
20:15
Speaker 5: Brown's ingested it has something to do with quote how
20:18
Speaker 5: I use my platform, and that he's not the most
20:21
Speaker 5: liked player in the media. Then you think those things
20:23
Speaker 5: have anything to do with it.
20:26
Speaker 1: In his head, Yeah, he's convinced that he's He loves
20:30
Speaker 1: playing the victim a lot. He love playing the victim.
20:32
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the world's out to get me. And
20:34
Speaker 1: this is going to be the driving force for Jalen
20:35
Speaker 1: Brown and all that stuff. I don't believe it's that deep.
20:38
Speaker 1: He just he was good. There were other players that
20:41
Speaker 1: were ahead of him in his position, and so that's
20:43
Speaker 1: why Jalen Brown didn't make the first team All NBA
20:47
Speaker 1: and all every Now he can play with a bigger
20:48
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulders. So it's good for the Celtics next.
20:51
Speaker 5: Several teams reportedly expressed interest in Kawhi Leonard at the deadline,
20:54
Speaker 5: and now it's being reported that he's drawing an interest again.
20:58
Speaker 5: Kawhi is being linked to the Heat, the Warriors, and
21:01
Speaker 5: even the Detroit Pistons. Yeah, and do you think Kawhi
21:04
Speaker 5: leaves La.
21:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fine if they trade Kawhi. He played actually
21:09
Speaker 1: played pretty well this year, and he played a lot
21:11
Speaker 1: and all that. I just don't trust the guy and
21:14
Speaker 1: I'm over it. All the excitement, all the optimism with
21:17
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. He has been such adope with the Clippers
21:22
Speaker 1: where he doesn't care about basketball. He cares more about
21:25
Speaker 1: us no show job than he does playing for the Clippers.
21:28
Speaker 1: I'm fine if they get rid of him. I trade
21:29
Speaker 1: him the Pistons because they have younger players who the
21:32
Speaker 1: Clippers can get. And the one thing about balmber though,
21:34
Speaker 1: he's always gonna he's always gonna have a competitive team.
21:36
Speaker 1: He's not gonna tank. So I'm happy about that. They'll
21:39
Speaker 1: get some decent talent in return for Kawhi Leonard wherever
21:42
Speaker 1: he ends up. And if somebody's dumb enough to trade
21:44
Speaker 1: for Kawhi, knock yourself out. You got to pay that
21:47
Speaker 1: bill for that no show gardening job. All right?
21:49

29:20
Speaker 1: humble brag, right there. You just did a humble on.
29:24

29:27
Speaker 1: you go five for five, you will get the game
29:29
Speaker 1: named after you for a week. But all you have
29:31
Speaker 1: to do is get three out of five, right question. Now,
29:34
Speaker 1: let's see number one. Number one. The Knickerbockers have a
29:39
Speaker 1: plus two hundred and fifty point differential in fourteen postseason
29:44
Speaker 1: games this season. Is that too much or not enough
29:48
Speaker 1: for the New Yorkers enough? Jimmy said, not enough? You
29:56
Speaker 1: whispered it, and that's still right it is. You're correct
30:00
Speaker 1: enough and the Knicks are at plus two seventy one.
30:04
Speaker 1: This is the highest playoff point differential in pro bouncy
30:08
Speaker 1: ball history. Question number two, The Knicks are the third
30:11
Speaker 1: team ever with more than ten consecutive playoff wins? Is
30:16
Speaker 1: that too much or not enough for Jimmy? In Saint Paul?
30:22
Speaker 9: That's not enough?
30:24
Speaker 1: He says, not enough. Let's find out right again? Not enough?
30:28
Speaker 1: They are the fifteam, joining the seventeen Warriors, the ninety
30:32
Speaker 1: nine Spurs, the one Lakers, and the eighty nine Lakers.
30:36
Speaker 1: So just like that, you're up to nothing. Only one
30:38
Speaker 1: more right answer, Jimmy and Saint Paul to get the bag.
30:42
Speaker 1: Here we go. There are fifteen players in professional baseball
30:46
Speaker 1: batting three hundred or better so far this season. Is
30:50

30:54
Speaker 1: Let's find out that is correct? Right again? There were
30:58
Speaker 1: only fourteen players in professional baseball hitting three hundred or better.

Speaker 1: Is that too much or not enough? Jimmy, you've already won.
31:40
Speaker 1: We'll try to get you that extra golden ticket. That's
31:43
Speaker 1: not enough unless he's right. That is correct? Right again?
31:48

Speaker 4: So?
35:09
Speaker 1: This is the part? Yeah? Yeah, all right.
35:12
Speaker 9: I would give advice this week, but I think it's
35:14
Speaker 9: pretty obvious.
35:15
Speaker 8: Keep your hands to yourself.
35:17
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. Late night drug tester writ s
35:20
Speaker 1: in says, is having my name tattooed on another guy's
35:23
Speaker 1: arm attractive to ladies? Or could it give them the
35:26
Speaker 1: wrong idea?
35:28
Speaker 8: Well, it could just seem like an odd coincidence, you know,
35:32
Speaker 8: aky dink.
35:33
Speaker 9: Yeah, but you know sometimes leprechauns they get names tattooed
35:37
Speaker 9: on them.
35:38
Speaker 1: I've heard that. Yeah, let's see here. Here's a question
35:42
Speaker 1: for you, Lorena. Is it okay to let's see here?
35:47
Speaker 1: I don't know there's a word misspelled? Split I guess
35:53
Speaker 1: is that a check or are women expecting every guy
35:56
Speaker 1: to be a sugar daddy?
35:58
Speaker 8: It's from can you rephrase that from the beginning?
36:01
Speaker 1: All right? So yeah, is it okay to split the check?
36:04
Speaker 1: I guess is what he's asking here? Yeah?
36:07
Speaker 9: It is, Oh yeah, one hundred percent. You don't always
36:09
Speaker 9: have to pay for the bill. But don't make it
36:11
Speaker 9: seem like you're a sugar daddy. Unless you have a
36:13
Speaker 9: lot of money, you aren't a sugar daddy.
36:15
Speaker 1: Okay, however, easy.
36:16
Speaker 9: You have enough money, it probably isn't gonna bug you
36:18
Speaker 9: if you don't split a meal where she's probably only
36:21
Speaker 9: paying about thirty five dollars.
36:22
Speaker 1: Anyways, Well, isn't the rule generally it's a sliding scale
36:27
Speaker 1: of how attractive you are. The more attractive you are,
36:30
Speaker 1: the less you have to pay m that's debatable. I disagree.
36:34
Speaker 1: I believe that's been proven. Keelai and Pie Bobby from
36:38
Speaker 1: Florida writes and says, should I be offended if women
36:41
Speaker 1: only use me for my Disney annual pass?
36:46
Speaker 9: No? No, I think Disney dating is so fun. And
36:51
Speaker 9: once again, using you for your Disney Annual pass? Are
36:54
Speaker 9: you getting them in with your pass? Or Are you
36:56
Speaker 9: just getting them discounts with your pass? Or are you
36:58
Speaker 9: able to go on dates because you have a pass?
37:01
Speaker 9: All very different things, you know.
37:04
Speaker 1: Mark the Walker from Rochester rightsin he's out walking around.
37:08
Speaker 1: He says, if money were not an issue, what would
