  Speaker 1: Oh, what is going on? Well? Comn Happy early Monday
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: morning to you. Hope all is well. Hope all the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: great mothers out there had a fantastic Mother's Day. A
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: lot to react to. We had Wemby throwing bows, getting crazy.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta keep the emotions in check, you know, Like,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, man, I'm gonna talk about the New
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: York Knicks here in just a couple of minutes. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the thing with Wemby. We've talked about this before where
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the Spurs are a young team, they don't have much
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: playoff experience. And the people that ride with the Spurs
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and say, ah, it's fine, you know, it's all right,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: don't worry, not gonna matter, they're so talented. Wemby's an alien,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: YadA YadA. Whatever. The reasoning is, like playoff experience, it's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: gotta matter. And that's the one reason where if it
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: is the Spurs and the Thunder in the Western Conference finals,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that's why I'm all over. Okay, See, if that is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the matchup, the playoff experience means a lot. And you
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: saw a complete lack of playoff experience with Wemby losing
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: his cool like that. He can't lose your cool like that. Man.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: He's way too valuable for their team to be swinging
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: bows like that. Getting kicked out in the early in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the second quarter. It's like, you got a chance to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: take a three to one series lead and you're upset
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that you're not getting a foul called, so you're gonna
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: elbow nick nos read in the throat and get the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: gate Like what? And I totally forgot to add one
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: part in that he was talking to his teammate while
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they were reviewing the elbow right, they were reviewing the play,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and he was talking to his teammate, Harrison Barnes, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: so they were announcing that it was a flagrant two
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: foul and Wemby was like, what does that mean? And
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Harrison Barnes is like, it means you're ejected. Dude, Like
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh, I'm ejected. It's like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: that's that's what flagrant. To me, He's like, oh news
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to me. Didn't I couldn't believe. He's like, what does
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: that mean? Flagrant too? What was that? He's like, Uh,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: it means you're taking an early shower, man, that's what
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that means. You're done. You're gone. Yeah, but that that
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is a lack of playoff experience. So when people like
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: me say, I just I can't trust a team that's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: got no playoff experience. It's mattered throughout the history of
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the NBA, with very few exceptions. Like Magic Johnson wins
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: right away, that's an all time great. It hardly ever
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: happens that way. Michael Jordan, as great as he was,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: he had struggles for years in the playoffs, couldn't get
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: past the Pistons year after year after year. It's like
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: they lost to wom in five, all right, Let's try
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to get him next year, lost to him in six,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all right, next year, and lost to him in seven.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: It's like they're taking baby steps and trying to you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: they're going up against the Spurs, would be going up
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: against the Oklahoma City Thunder, who you know, are just
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: a hot knife through butter through everybody they faced in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the NBA playoffs, So not even a fair fight. And
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: they don't even have Jalen Williams, who's one of their
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: main guys, scored forty points in an NBA Finals game
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: last year. So playoff experience is gonna matter. And you
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: saw a lack of it on Sunday Night with Wemby
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: doing that, So you just you gotta maintain your emotions, man,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And I love Wemby. Wemby is a competitive maniac, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I love that about him. He's going hard in the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: All Star Game, that's how crazy he is. And I
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: absolutely adore that about Wemby. But sometimes that competitiveness, it
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: can get the best of you. And you saw that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: on display. You saw a lack of a lack of control,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a lack of playoff experience, and you also saw competitiveness.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: You know, when keeping it competitive goes wrong, Like competitiveness
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: isn't automatically a great thing all across the board. Every
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: now and then it's like the old Dave Chappelle skit,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: when keeping it real goes wrong, when keeping it competitive
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: goes wrong. That's what happened with Wemby on Sunday night.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: But listen, man, if Wemby you think Wemby's doing that,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: say five years from now, ten years from now, when
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: he's got all that playoff experience, he's much less likely
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to do it with more playoff experience. But he doesn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: have that right now. And so you know, sometimes you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: take the bait. Sometimes your emotions get out of control,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: and sometimes you ended up costing your team. That's what
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: happened on Sunday Hey. For over forty years, ti Iraq
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: what and where they drive, shipped fast and free back
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, tire rack dot com. The way tire
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: buying should be okay. The New York Knicks, my gosh,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: this team, they have been fantastic in the playoffs over here.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Can you believe they had? They were staring a two
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: to one deficit in the face, they were trailing the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: a Hawks, and since then it kicked it into overdrive.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Seven straight wins and not just wins like crushing teams.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: The Knicks. They were the first team in NBA history
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to win three straight games by at least twenty five
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: points in the playoffs. Those were the final two games
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: against the Hawks, and then that was Game one against
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the Sixers, and those are historic beatdowns. The closeout game
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: against the Hawks Game six, I don't even know what
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: they ended up winning by fifty one. I think that's
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: what it was. And then the first game against the Sixers,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: they won by thirty nine. Then on Sunday they won
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: by thirty. They've been crushing teams. I saw this stat
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: here too. The Knicks have outscored their opponents by nineteen
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: point four points per game this postseason. That is actually
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the largest differential by any team entering the conference finals
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: since the playoffs expanded to sixteen teams in ninety teen
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: eighty four. They've dusted everybody. They've have crushed the Hawks,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: they obliterated the Sixers, and they've punched their ticket to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the conference finals already, and they get to rest up.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Og Ananobi. He's got a hamstring strain. He missed games
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: three and four. He gets to rest up. He had
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a hammy issue two years ago in the playoffs. Is
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a big deal. He missed games three through six. He
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: tried to come back in Game seven, played five minutes
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: and that was it. The hammy was a big, big deal. Now,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: it's not to believe it. It's not believed to be
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: as severe right now as it was a couple of
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: years ago. But still the Knicks get to rest that guy.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You look at the Calves series. The Calves have a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: they're facing a two to one deficit. Calves won Game three.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Pistons still lead the series, but if the Calves win
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: on Monday Night, that series is tied to two and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the Knicks are just chilling. Knicks are just waiting. The
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: only question for the Knicks is it's the rust thing.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Will that be a deal? If you look at the Thunder.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Ok see, they swept the Suns and then they had
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: eight days off until they faced the Lakers, and even
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: though they won Game one and they covered a fifteen
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and a half point spread, they did not look crisp,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: especially in the first half. They did not look like
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the typical OKC Thunder. They weren't executing at a high level,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and so it was a little bit of rust. So
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that's the only question with the Knicks. Do they look
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a little rusty when the Eastern Conference Finals finally do
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: get underway, we got to see who emerges, Pistons or Caves.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: How long it goes. But in the meantime, the blessing
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: is that og Nanobi can rest up. And he was
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a big deal. He made a big impact. He was
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: great in Game two against the Sixers and then just
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: tweaked his hammy at the very end of that game.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: About three minutes to go and he makes the gesture
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: like yo, I gotta come out of the game, man,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: like something's going on here. So he gets to rest up.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Very very good news for the Knicks. And to add
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: insult to injury, it wasn't bad enough that the Knicks
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: swept the Sixers. Then the Knicks fans took over on
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the road in the Sixers own arena. They're pretty loud
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in game three. They're even louder in Game four with
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the sweep being pulled off. Here the greatest thing was
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: behind one of the baskets. Joel Embiid went to the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: free throw line and it's nothing but Nick fans, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: they had like pieces of paper with the poster from
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Game three of Mitchell Robinson dunking on top of Joel Embiid.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: So they have pieces of paper and they're just waving
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: it at Joel as if it's in the garden, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: all the Knick fans are trying to throw them off
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: while shooting a free throw. It was at the Sixers
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: arena and it's filled with Knick fans like boom missing
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Joe Alten mess that you there was a poster las get.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: They're just trying to throw them off. It's like, what
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is happening? So, yeah, the Knicks turned that into Madison
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Square Garden just a little south of the city right there,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and that was a big talking point after Game four,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: after the sweep was pulled off. Here's Josh Hart. Listen
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to Josh Hart take a dig at Philly sports fans
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: far and wide. Check this out. How many Nick fans
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: are hit?
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: No, everybody was begging for Philly to no Sota tickets
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: and man, yeah, it's I used to think Philly was
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: a sports town.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it is anymore.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Oh baby, man, like it's that one. But Philly takes
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: pride in being passionate and being a hardcore sports town,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: and it is. But listen, that's fair for Josh Hart
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to wonder. He's like, have you seen the arena? Did
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: you hear those fans? There were Nick fans everywhere crawling
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: with Nick fans in there, And man, that's I thought
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it was a sports town. I'm not so sure anymore.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I get why Josh Hart would think and say that.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Now here is Tyrese Maxi. So Star of the Sixers
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: did not have a great series, didn't take a ton
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of shots either a little bit nicked up. Everybody's dealing
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: with something at this stage, but not a great series
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: for Tyrese max And he was commenting on all of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the Knicks fans that were just pouring into the arena,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: super loud, very boisterous. Here's what Tyrese Maxey had to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: say about.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: That, tyres can can you describe what it was like
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: playing again against the Knicks here where their fans come
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: down here and kind of take over your home arena?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Do you use it as fuel?
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: It sucks.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: If I'm being it just sucks. But it just sucked. Man, Yeah,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: it just sucks. I can't I That's really all I
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: like to say about it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Man, Like I just.
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: It's hard and it's definitely difficult, you know what I'm saying,
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: And it's only one way to put a stop to it,
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: and this is we have to go out there.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And win these games.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: Like we just being completely honest, we were better when
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: we played them in the garden this entire season. Like
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: I know we lost Game two and one, but like
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: game two was better, regular season was better. Here we was,
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: you know, I was telling them, it just feel it
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: felt louder here for them than it did in the garden.
• 11:16
  Speaker 6: And it's like, but we got to put us out
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: to it as a team, like winning these games, that's
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: what's going to make you know, our fans like louder
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: than theirs or whatever. I don't know how to keep
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: them out. I don't know the logistics of it. But
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: you know, it does suck. I can't even lie. It
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: definitely does suck.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Hey man, I get it you. Let's say you're Tyrese
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: MAXI you're on the floor. Game three is close but
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: slips away. Game four is just a beat down from
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: the word go. You know, jump ball, it's just beat
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: down city and Nick fans are going ballistic and they're
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: all over the place. They're loud. You're in your home right,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: like you're in your home arena and it's swarming with
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Nick fans. If you're Tyrese Max, is totally fair to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: say that. And look, he's like, it's on us to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: win and we can quiet them down. So he's not
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: putting that only on the Sixers fan base, but he's right, like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it sucks. It sucks to go into your own building
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: and you are outnumbered. They are so much louder. Think
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: how often we clown. We always clown the Rams the Chargers, right,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: We're always like, that's not a home field advantage. They
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: are more road fans than home fans. They always get
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: hammered for that, and they should. It's embarrassing. One of
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the games I was there last year. I went to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: a Chargers game last year when the Eagles played them.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Eagle fans everywhere even took a picture next to a
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: guy and like, full fledged, like bird maskout what he was.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: They're all over the place, man, Like, it's crawling with
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Philly fans. But it's for a hardcore sports town like
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Philly to have their home arena crawling with Nick fans.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: And I think Tyrese Maxey is completely in the right
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, man, I'd be lying to you
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: if I said it didn't suck. It sucks. It shouldn't
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: be a thing, but it is. It's lame. He's right.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: As far as the Knicks going forward, man, they're gonna
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: be a tough out. They're gonna be a tough out
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference Finals. The one thing to keep
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: in mind though, if they are facing the Pistons, if
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Detroit's able to emerge, listen, you can't trust either team
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in that series. You can't trust the Pistons, you can't
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: trust the Cavs. The cliffs notes version calves backcourt. James
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Harden finally came to play in Game three, hit some
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: huge shots down the stretch. He was fantastic. He was
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the main reason why they won Game three. So give
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: him flowers for that, but he's been a disaster aside
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: from that. More turnovers that made field goals in the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: first two games against the Piston. It's the thirtieth time
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in his career that's happened. Think about that, more turnovers
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: than made field goals. That shouldn't happen. That shouldn't be
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: a thing. It's happened thirty times for the Beard. So
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: as great as Spider Mitchell is offensively, as dynamic as
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: James Harden can be offensively, but has had his shortcomings
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They're not good defensively. That's a bad backcourt. Defensively,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you can't trust them. Evan Mobley had one rebound in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Game three. You just can't be trusted. But by the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: same token, you can't trust the Pistons either. Tobias Harris
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: has been fantastic eight straight games scoring at least twenty points.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: He didn't do that in back to back games all
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: regular season. He didn't do it one time. He's done
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it eight games in a row, scoring at least twenty points.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: But what happens if he goes cold? What happens if
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: he has an off night? You know, they just as
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: good as their defense is, as hard knows as they are,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: as special Cad Cunningham is. He doesn't have a reliable
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: co pilot. There's not a guy where you're like, oh,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: game in and game out, you can trust this guy
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: or them collectively. I just don't know that they have
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: enough offense. But the one thing, if it is Pistons
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: and Knicks, man, the Pistons put it on the Knicks
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: in the regular season consistently, so that would be a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: very interesting matchup. That's what we get for the Eastern
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Conference Finals. But still work to be done for the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Pistons to get there, and the Knicks just get to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: chill and wait. And they've got a formula. This is
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the thing. This is the thing that's different. Their formula
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: offensively is a lot different now with Carl Anthony Towns
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: being so focused on distributing the ball he has been
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: an excellent passer for the degenerate gamblers out there. It
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: is the gift that keeps on giving. Just take Carl
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Anthony Towns assists over play some alternate numbers. Over ten
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: assists in twenty minutes on Sunday. Somehow that guy ended
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: up with five files in a blowout like that. He's
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: still managed to commit five files. I don't know what
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: it is with Cat and just he is so prone
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: to committing stupid files. If he could control that, he
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: would be such a problem. But he gets limited playing
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: time because he just picks up these dumb files in
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the first half, and Mike Brown's like, dude, you got
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: your third file already. You gotta sit for the rest
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: of the second quarter. What are we doing? Right? But
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: he's still ten assists in twenty minutes. Is It's fantastic.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: That's high production right there. Jalen Brunson is magnificent. Got
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a good supporting cast. Love how they defend. They got
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a lot going for them right now. So we'll see.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: We'll see if the knicks with Brunson coupled with Cat
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: being a little bit more pass happy in a good way.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: You know, he's not turning down open shop. There was one.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: It was a hilarious brief brief story. I still owe
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: you my eyebrows story. I gotta write that down. There
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: was a brief time in game four where Karl Anthony
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Towns had the ball and he was looking to pass.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: He was like, on the right elbow, right, maybe about
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: seventeen feet away from the bucket, and he's looking to pass.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: He's looking to pass. No one's open, and he's like,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's really guarding me right now. I've
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: got a wide open shot. And he starts to shoot,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and at the last second he's like, well anybody last
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: second opening? Nope, nope, all right, fine, now let's he's still.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: He was so reluctant to shoot it and kept looking
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: for someone to pass to. That has opened up their offense.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson doesn't have to dribble the ball into the
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: floor to death. He can rest a little bit, he's fresher,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and Karl Anthony Towns can run point forward. He's been
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: doing a fantastic job of that. The Knicks collectively have
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: a knack with it when to cut, when to move,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: when they've timed it up very nicely and Kat has
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: great vision. Man, he's done a fantastic job distributing the ball.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: So it's great if you're betting over on assists. Not
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: great if you're betting over on points, because you're like,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: just shoot the ball, man, He's like, no, I'd rather
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: pass it. It's better for our offense. So you've got
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to realize what his mentality is. And his mentality is
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: to get others involved, and that has opened up their offense.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: So that is different than when the Pistons were blown
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: them out in the regular season. So if that's the matchup,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: would be really interesting. All right, eight seven, seven ninety
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: nine on Fox is your phone number. I will get
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to the militia right around the corner, including one guy
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: who says Wemby should not be on the floor in
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: game five. I hope he is because my two eyebrows
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and hair on my head count on it. Because I've
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: run my big mouth yet again, I've given you a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: shave guarantee that Wemby will be on the floe or
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: on game five. But we'll hear from the Belsha with
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the counter argument to that. All that and more coming
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: up right around the corner. I'm Brian no In for

• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Big Ben Malor. Yeah. We were just talking off the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: air about royalties and Coop. The Coop Scoop segment is
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: very popular. The people in Boston had nice things to
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: say about it rave reviews, and Coop's a little surprised
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: about that. I'm surprised Coop was surprised. It's a great segment. Man.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I was Coop joking around with Coop that it's going
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to be the new like Plugola, Payola. You know, there's
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: a radio terms where they're just basically paying you stuff.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It's normally like music radio, like hey man, you know
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I'll give you free tickets and give you some cash
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: if you play this new song by an artist I
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: represent where.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: If you promote my business, I'll give you free stuff
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: without going through the company and doing it legally.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that Lorena is a gigantic no no, something
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: we would never do right, absolutely not right. But if
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: you just want to send me gifts, you can. Doesn't
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: mean she's gonna do anything right like promoting things, but
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: she'll take your stuff. You know, that's fine, that's no
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: big deal. But Coop, I was just joking around then,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: like Warner Brothers and all these companies are going to
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: send them all this swag to try to get him
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to promote stuff on Coop Scoops. But no, people like it, man, people,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: And I told Coop something they knew I heard is
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: like within the last week that the cast of Friends,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: they all make twenty million dollars per year on royalties.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: That's how popular the show still is twenty million dollars
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: per year for acting years ago. Wild, that's crazy, man,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: I wish radio worked like that. Do all of them
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: get the same pay?
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't yet. Do you know that, Coop?
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they uh negotiated together.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, it's cool. That's cool.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: I believe the last season they were making two million
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: per episode?
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: What and this is not I promise you I'm not
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: being cute or you know. Matthew Perry died, so does
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: that go to his estate? What happens with that?
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: It's a good question. Because he was not married and
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: did not have any kids.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: He probably had something in his will. Yeah. I don't know.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I really don't know how that works. But you know,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: money's going somewhere, right, Like it has to it has
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to be. It has to go somewhere. I think his
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: money was going towards Ketamine. Well, it's like his money
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: from now on. You're right.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it says his residuals passed to his estate.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that's what I was thinking, right man? Good lord?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Just twenty mil boo boo boo.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Wow his ex girlfriend is a beneficiary of his trust.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Interesting, Well, that's cool.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: Wow, just because they're not together doesn't mean they didn't
• 22:42
  Speaker 8: have a great relationship.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe, I mean typically means you didn't have a you know,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: it doesn't mean that you mean it's currently or like
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: hat still had a good relationship. Yeah, oh okay, Well,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: because when you break up, it typically means you didn't
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: have a good relationship.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, I mean typically, yeah, typically does
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it at least it wasn't as great as you needed
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: it to be, right, pretty much safe to say that.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: All right, let me get out to the militia here
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. I heard a
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: little little phone ring in the background. I'm like, that's
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: a good reminder right there. It's a good reminder. Let's
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: get to Blind Scott. What's on your mind this evening
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: or early morning?
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: Here?
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Blind Scott, you're on Fox Sports Radio. What's going on?
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Buddy? So here's the untold story of the Ben Malors
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Show meet I've never heard before, unfiltered people meeting at
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: a meetup where radio is not uncensored. And I met
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: miche lepchaon and I'm a big radio start in the
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Boston market Laverna where people ask you about me and
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: what stairl like, why wasn't there?
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were hoping that you were going to show up.
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was a lot for me to get there.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: So I went to the Red Sox.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Game curious if you weren to show up the next day.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I wasn't sure.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I don't know how I would have got there,
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: but I was trying to spend no money, Brian, so
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: I spent it like open bar and buffet, So I
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: spent like fourteen dollars, but I had a really good time.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: So here's what happened, Brian. I left here at like
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: six thirty and I hung around. I was at the
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: wrong location for like an hour. The sausage vendor had
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: to bring me into the right location, but it was
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: in like a brand new setting. And then I got
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: exposed to Mike the Leprechawn, the host of the event,
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: who's like very generous and like, you know, I only
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: have nice things to say about him, besides the fact
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: that he called me an a hole right off the bat.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well I'm calling on Bimbo, so we're on. Wow, Okay,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: it's a friendly icebreaker right there. I'm blind. Scott just
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: called you a blind So yeah.
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: One thing about being blind is it caused me to
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: have this pin football effect. Why I was bumping into
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: fans and trying to get away from him. But he's
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: like kind of a He's a nice guy. But I
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: had n't drinking in like eighteen months, so then I
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: it triggered me to have ten beers. I double fisted
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: and I was there and I had like a great time.
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: It was awesome. But we had a Shane Gillis event
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: that was coinciding with it that competed with it. At
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: the end of the night, every they all left, they
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: just they left me. I was in the event by
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: myself still there. I was like, oh my god, everybody's gone.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I still know how many people were there, but Mike
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: never said where the food was, but we were. So
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the neighborhood was in the Fenway neighborhood that just got
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: ripped out, like and renovated where the old baseball tavern
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: is in Copperfields would So I've had a hard time
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: navigating that neighborhood. But I'm from Boston. So a Brazilian
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: guy helped me get to the train. So I rode
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: back to the train and then I confronted these Shane
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Gillis fans outside of the garden and like I had
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: a whole constraint against them, but I had like eleven beers.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: And then I got home, was twelve forty seven and
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I and I went in my vomited like nine times
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: in a toilet and I said, and Ben met me
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: the night before and was like confronted me because I'm
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: Ben's number one college. So I told Ben, like, You're
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: not allowed to give me any compliments at this thing.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: I'm coming for myself. I'm going to be doing stuff.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: Like when Coop came through the door, he saw me
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: there and it was like probably like kind of like, well,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: it's like big celebrity, you know. So I was very prepared.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: People would taking photos of me. It was a big
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: deal for me. People from the Morning Show because I'm
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: a big contributor on the Toucher and Hardy Show were
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: there to see me. I came, I went, I conquered.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: I was the star of the event on the Friday
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: night event in the Fenway area and people were saying
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: crazy thanks to me. Fans were reacting crazy to me
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: because they knew me, and I can't say what they
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: were saying to me on the radio, Brian, but if
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: you had come with me, like I call Eddie Trunk,
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: like I was going to talk about that. He's from Vegas,
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: like I. It's similar to Vegas, but people in Vegas
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: are more liberal. In Boston, people react crazy to you.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: They say crazy thanks to you. I mean, I'm detestatized
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: to it. But it was a crazy event. And Ben
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: was dressed in this button down shirt and he was
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: guiding me around the venue and crashing me into everything.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: And I was trying to ask him questions about radio
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: and other radio jobs, and he was trying to get
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: me to get him on the Sports Hub and Boss
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: and like Ben doesn't have an agent, which I have
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: no idea why. He just doesn't want one. So I'm
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: actually it's Ben's agent trying to get him on the
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Sports Hub. But they'd probably want to have Justin Cooper
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: on that show because they do a different type of show.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: It's not a hot take show. It's like a non
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: sports show, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can let
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: you go. I can let you go because I could
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: talk for the rest of the night.
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Oh you're good man.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: I have multiple comments to me yeah right, all right.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: So first of all, more people bought Scott drinks than
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: than me or or anybody else in the In the
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: of the show.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Facts, blied Scott eleven beers double fisting after eighteen months sober,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: that that's like diving right back in.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Technically, let's let's let's be real. Technically they were. They
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: were dackerries.
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: They were dackyries with Jackeries, which is probably why you
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: puked because they're so sweet.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And I didn't need for two days leading up
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: to the events. I wanted to look like I was
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: working out. And Ben was making wish and nervous prior
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: to the event, and Ben's wife was there. And then
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: the night before I met Ben and his wife was
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: hiding behind a dumpster and Ben confronted me and it
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: was like blind start, you need to calm down, check yourself.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: So it's been acting crazy and that's and Ben's a
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: wicked nice guy. Like so it was played out pretty
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: It was like almost a movie. Like so my mom
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: always says that my life is portrayed like this movie
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Mystic River. It's a famous Boston movie. So this event
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: kind of portrayed like that movie. And we were at
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: that bar scene in the end, me and Ben. You know,
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know you've seen the movie, an Dennis Lahyne movie.
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: Is a famous Boston guy and it's like at the
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: end of Man Benner in the bar and Ben's driving
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: me on the bar, crashing me in, bringing me to elevators.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: You know, Ben's a pretty big guy. You know.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, all right, well, black Scott, we gotta get
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: we gotta get Coop's comments in here real fast. Coop,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you got anything else you want to throw his way.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: I think the only other thing I was gonna say
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: was that I I led Scott up the stairs, and
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I think I did a fantastic job doing that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, you weren't crashing him into things like right man?
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Am I Am? I wrong? Scott. I did a good
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: job leading it up the stairs.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: And your wife took me to the bathroom, and I
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: need to go back, and that was the problem. So
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: I was prepared to go to the bathroom of my
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: pants at that night because everybody had been so unaccommodating.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: Mike the Leprechaun had been threatening me for months and
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: he's crazy. You gotta be kicked off at the Chris
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Blank show. I ran into Chris Blank's wife and the
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Alex Jones show. He's just everybody's just so crazy that
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: and I'm involved in my life. I'm just a sports
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: radio caller. I'm nothing but a sports radio caller. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: my life is huge on big time celebrity. I have
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: more followeres and bent on social media now, you know.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: And I don't know anything about sports radio. Not I
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: do like a David Lee Rod style show. But yeah, cool.

• 29:53
  Speaker 1: job by you, Coop, not a you know, not leading
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: blind Scott into you know, random doorway walls. And it
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: sounded like Big Ben was playing bumper cars with blind
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Scott over there.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I mean Scott exaggerated sometimes. The other comment. I remember
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: that I was going to make it. I forgot while
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Scott was still on the line, but he's mentioned that
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: he didn't realize everybody left and that somebody had to.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I just want to I just want to throw it
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: out there. As we were leaving, I was like, is
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: somebody gonna make sure Scott like gets on the right
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: path to go home? Okay, and somebody else, I don't
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: remember who was somebody else said to me, oh, Ernesto
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: is going to stay behind and make sure Scott, you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: gets on the right path home. And it doesn't. It's
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: not like, you know, it doesn't have to bring Scott
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: all the way home. Scott walks around Boston all the time.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I just, you know, just out of the out of
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: the restaurant, and you know, it headed the right direction.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: And uh I guess I found out later that Ernesto
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: did not do that.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, it's that good.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: When we like, when we left the bar, we were
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: the last ones to leave. Everybody was already gone except
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: for Ernesto or Nesto and Scott were still inside when
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: we left, and so I thought Ernesto was gonna, you know,
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: help Scott out of there. But you know, Scott made
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: it home.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the picture right now, and uh yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: you have the hot dog Fenway Park shirt on Lorena.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Very nice, and just on the picture there's a double
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: thumbs up directly behind you. Yes, that's a listener, okay.

• 31:47
  Speaker 8: I got you a video underneath that, but you know
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: it was hard to get him to look at the camera.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, fair enough, all right, I'm watching the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: video now, let me mute it, let me all right. So, yeah,

• 34:31
  Speaker 1: my mind. I'll get to the militia first off, impromptu
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: Dua lipa blows my mind. That's first and foremost. It
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: has to be said. Lorena sent me something today I
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: thought that was very interesting about dua. Sorry, I'm taking
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: a left turn here. I'll get back on the road
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: in a second.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: But Dua, she's suing Samsung, right, Lorena, this is a thing.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: That's the news, Yeah, says Dua Lipa is suing Samsung
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: for at least fifteen dollars, claiming they used her face
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: to sell TVs without permission. Get them do a get them.
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: See and they just put her face on the box right,
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: like if you had a Roku TV screen and she
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: was one of the like the pop ups, that's how
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: her face was shown. It wasn't like do alipa album
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: or no.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: No, she'll probably win.
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: People are reaching though, they're saying it's not it's not.
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: They're saying it's not going to go through. Oh really
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: for fifteen million. They're like, that doesn't I don't know
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: who knows if.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: You try to sue for fifteen million, did they like
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: dumb it down? Do you either get fifteen or you
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: know they like we'll give you three? Yeah, there might
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: be a settlement. Is there bartering? I don't know how
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: that works. I really don't know. But I am a
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: Samsung consumer. Got Samsung phone? Yeah you do? Green? Do
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Android for life?
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: No?
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: iPhone not gonna do it. It's the boringest product.
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: Didn't you tell me that Apple doesn't have personality? Isn't
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: that how you said it?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Apple phones at least no personality none zero, there's no
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: personality at all. Like I'm convinced iPhone users don't know
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: that personality exists within phones. They they don't know any better.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: They've had an iPhone the whole time. They're like, works fine,
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: works good. I like it. It's like, that's that's true,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: that's fine, no problem. But has no personality. Just be
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: aware of that, you know, it doesn't none zero. I've
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: got Apple computers. Love Apple computers, but the phones, no,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: not a fan, and you don't want them to sync
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: up together. I love the fact that mine.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: This is another bad take by Brian.
• 36:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because the fact that your phone and your laptop
• 36:29
  Speaker 8: can go together and you're choosing to not.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I have I have a Windows computer. So I've
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: got my old Apple computer that I still use nineteen ninety.
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: I still use this for you know, sound, sound, and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: let's see, where's where's my macusmat? Yeah, we were as
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: that's from the Apple computer right there, you know, But
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: I got my Windows computer in front of me, and
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it syncs up with my phone just nicely. You know
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: I could. I could instead of texting you back on
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: my phone, I could text you back on my computer.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: You wouldn't even know the difference. So it's SYNCD up. Yeah,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: so there, yeah, right, yeah, I'm not I'm not huge
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: on Windows computer, truth be told. I do like Apple better,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: but you know, Apple got weird with Microsoft Word. Like
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: all the stuff I do mostly is in Word, you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: like my geeky NFL charts and all this stuff, like
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: it's all Microsoft Word. And for the longest it was
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: compatible with Apple, but now it's not so much. It's goofy.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: It's a little pity.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: You can use pages it's the same thing.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: No, it's not the same thing at all. It totally
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: is completely different, not even close. Not that's like saying
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes looks exactly like Leleonardo DiCaprio, like exactly the same.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: It's like, no, they don't they.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: It's not even close to an accurate comparison.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: That's right on their basically the same same at all.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: It's not even close. Yeah, you can't do tables charts
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: like it's not even it's not the same thing.
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: At all.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Yes, you can you anything you.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: That was the best sound ever. That was Coop getting
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: frustrated and realizing it's not worth it.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: That's what That's exactly what it was.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: It's exactly and then silence, you know, just like it's
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: not worth it. I can't talk sense of this freaking guy.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: It's like talking to a brick wall. It's not gonna
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: help anything. That was the realization from Coop right there
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: by the way. Sorry, false advertising. I said I would
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: get to the militia, and I'm screwing that up. I
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: will next hour. Sorry Jola. Jola bounced he was gonna
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: talk playoffs. I wanted to hear what he had to
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: say to Wordy over here. Lebron James, what blows my
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: mind is do you guys see this probably did the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: other day? Lebron is the same age as both head
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: coaches in the Lakers Thunder series. Like all three of
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: these guys are forty one years old. Lebron's forty one,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: JJ Redick's forty one. Mark Dagnolt, the OKC thunder head coach,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: is forty one. Actually, Mark Dagnolt is about two months
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: older than Lebron James. Is is that right, No, No,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: jj Reddick is old. Okay, Jay Lebron is just barely
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: older than Mark Dagnolt. But just put that in perspective,
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the head coach of both teams are the same age.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: They're all forty one years old as Lebron, and Lebron's
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: still productive. He's still a very very good player. But
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that is one decent indication of why the Lakers are
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: down three is they've got a guy who's as old
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: as both head coaches in the same series. That's not
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the greast. The other stat is Lebron has played more
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: playoff games than seventeen other NBA teams. That's ridiculous, right,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: A big winner and a huge loser, and they didn't
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: even play on Sunday.
