- 2:56Speaker 1: this hour from pro bouncy ball? What are you talking
- 3:01Speaker 1: about basketball? For Mike? I calm down, We have other
- 3:05Speaker 1: things playing, but I wanted to start with basketball. I
- 3:07Speaker 1: thought this was interesting the story out of the Bay Area.
- 3:10Speaker 1: As the Golden State Warriors are morphing back to the
- 3:13Speaker 1: Adonal Foyle Warriors, where is Mike Montgomery bring him back
- 3:17Speaker 1: as the coach? My god, horrific, horrific. The Warriors were
- 3:21Speaker 1: leading the Clippers at one point by seventeen. They ended
- 3:24Speaker 1: up getting out score by twenty seven points in the
- 3:27Speaker 1: second half on a random, random Monday night, got smoked
- 3:31Speaker 1: by the People's team and the Clippers end up winning
- 3:33Speaker 1: that game going away. Now, Steph Curry is some chatter
- 3:37Speaker 1: he's gonna be shut down for another couple of days
- 3:41Speaker 1: and there's a talk that he's not gonna play again
- 3:43Speaker 1: this year. What's the point by the time he gets back,
- 3:46Speaker 1: the Warriors are going to be charbroiled. It's a mess.
- 3:50Speaker 1: It's a mess. So if you haven't heard the latest
- 3:53Speaker 1: though on how to fix the mess in San Francisco
- 3:58Speaker 1: and the adjacent area there. So if you have not,
- 4:00Speaker 1: as the world turns in pro bouncy ball. Who are
- 4:05Speaker 1: Steph Curry and Draymond Green expected to put a full
- 4:09Speaker 1: court press on to try to recruit d Ning Ning Ning, Yes,
- 4:14Speaker 1: Lebron James, Lebron games, Come on down, Lebron, come on down. Yes,
- 4:20Speaker 1: here you go as much sour no bread as you want.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Come on down. You need any fentanyl, just go to
- 4:25Speaker 1: anywhere you want. Well, you're in LA you can get
- 4:26Speaker 1: fentanyl there too, but there, come to San Francisco, Lebron,
- 4:29Speaker 1: come on. Man's what's not the like about that? So,
- 4:32Speaker 1: as Lebron most think is done with the Lakers, he'll
- 4:36Speaker 1: be leaving at the end of the year, and he
- 4:38Speaker 1: enters the free agent marketplace. The rumblings are that Steph
- 4:43Speaker 1: Curry and Draymond Green, who's already buddies, Draymond's buddy buddy
- 4:47Speaker 1: with Lebron, right, they love each other, yeah, best friends,
- 4:51Speaker 1: and so they're gonna put the pressure on Lebron to
- 4:53Speaker 1: come play in northern California. So that is a good
- 4:57Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let's play some make believes sports talk radio.
- 5:00Speaker 1: What do you say? That's fun? Right? All right, So
- 5:02Speaker 1: let's discuss the question what would Lebron James going to
- 5:08Speaker 1: Golden State look like with Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
- 5:12Speaker 1: So I've got Gia Delli Peek a Boo and Marie Antoinette,
- 5:18Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
- 5:21Speaker 1: we are going to go ABC and one two three.
- 5:24Speaker 1: But you always have to start with number one. I
- 5:28Speaker 1: said number one number. So it would look like a
- 5:33Speaker 1: remake of a film that's already been remade at least once,
- 5:37Speaker 1: if not twice. You remember this came out about ten
- 5:39Speaker 1: years ago. There was a film called Going in Style.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Do you remember? That was a bank heist movie. You
- 5:44Speaker 1: don't remember that. So it had Morgan Freeman and Michael
- 5:48Speaker 1: Keane were the headliners in that movie, and some other
- 5:52Speaker 1: old dude. But you know they went around and then
- 5:56Speaker 1: Rob Banks, you know, a bunch of legends. In this case,
- 6:00Speaker 1: instead of going in Style, it would be let me
- 6:03Speaker 1: bring my AA RP card in terms of at least basketball,
- 6:07Speaker 1: and you'd have Lebron, Steph and Draymond Green rolling down
- 6:11Speaker 1: Lombard Street in a rented convertible yelling we still got it,
- 6:19Speaker 1: we still got it. No you don't, we still got it. No,
- 6:22Speaker 1: you don't. In football, if you're an old timer. There
- 6:25Speaker 1: was a team called the Washington Redskins that had a
- 6:28Speaker 1: big fan base, won Super Bowls, and then the Wolchsters said,
- 6:30Speaker 1: you can't be called that, so they changed the name.
- 6:32Speaker 1: Now nobody knows who's on the team. Nobody knows who
- 6:34Speaker 1: the team is, but they small the Redskins, and his
- 6:37Speaker 1: coach who loved old time players, he brought all those
- 6:40Speaker 1: old players from the Rams, George Allen, to the Redskins,
- 6:43Speaker 1: and they were nicknamed the over the Hill Gang. So
- 6:47Speaker 1: this would be the basketball version of the Over the
- 6:49Speaker 1: Hill Gang meets the Silicon Valley Venture Capitalist be the
- 6:54Speaker 1: way to go. And you three either completely washed up
- 6:58Speaker 1: or close to washed up players trying to chase one
- 7:02Speaker 1: last giant bag of gearedelly chocolate down near Fisherman's Wharf
- 7:06Speaker 1: and Garadelli Square. Just trying to get that one last
- 7:09Speaker 1: big bag of chocolate sounds great, sounds wonderful, until someone
- 7:15Speaker 1: has a hammy go whammy, and then it's a problem.
- 7:19Speaker 1: In the fog. Their hanmy goes whammy right in the fog.
- 7:22Speaker 1: It's not good. This, for my purposes would be a
- 7:25Speaker 1: great mitzvah. I think about it. These guys get together,
- 7:30Speaker 1: I mean these knuckleheads. A highly combustible situation. Highly combustible situation.
- 7:38Speaker 1: If these guys get together one bad loss and then
- 7:43Speaker 1: Draymond goes on that podcast and all of a sudden
- 7:47Speaker 1: he starts ranting, and it's like a hostage situation. It's
- 7:51Speaker 1: not right. It's just a mess basketball. From a basketball standpoint,
- 7:56Speaker 1: it's about as bad as it could possibly get. Three
- 8:00Speaker 1: guys trying to outthink Father Time in the NBA in
- 8:04Speaker 1: the shadow of the bay bridge right there. Okay, so
- 8:08Speaker 1: we have the opening scene. I will take like a
- 8:11Speaker 1: drone shot down the bay Bridge down and then around
- 8:14Speaker 1: where the arena is. That's the opening shot. We do
- 8:17Speaker 1: know that Lebron, I don't know if you heard about
- 8:19Speaker 1: this kind of has a big ego. You didn't know that.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Oh my god, you did not know that. Yeah, so Lebron,
- 8:26Speaker 1: And to be fair, I think most people like to
- 8:30Speaker 1: be recruited Lebron in particular, to be courted Lebron James
- 8:35Speaker 1: being courted by Steph and Draymond Green, putting the razzle
- 8:41Speaker 1: dazzle on these guys and recruiting them to a Cooper
- 8:46Speaker 1: Tino startup, you know, fundraising thing. Hey, Lebron, come out
- 8:50Speaker 1: there's some tech people. Okay, I'll go out. Why not?
- 8:52Speaker 1: What the hell? There? You go? Now when the dust settles, though,
- 8:57Speaker 1: I am not changing my position. I am locked in
- 9:01Speaker 1: and I am not changing my position that all roads
- 9:04Speaker 1: for Lebron lead back to Cleveland, that he's going to
- 9:07Speaker 1: complete the circle. And you complete the circle by going
- 9:11Speaker 1: back there and forcing the Cavs to take Bronnie James
- 9:14Speaker 1: on because that's the only way Bronni will stay in
- 9:16Speaker 1: the NBA. Otherwise he'll be never play another game in
- 9:18Speaker 1: the NBA without Lebron. So bring him in there. And
- 9:22Speaker 1: the reason you go to Cleveland is even though they
- 9:24Speaker 1: got James Harden, he'll be gone after this year, but
- 9:26Speaker 1: you bring you bring Lebron in there because they got
- 9:29Speaker 1: Spider Mitchell. He got some younger guys and they're they're
- 9:32Speaker 1: more in the prime ability athletically, so that would be
- 9:36Speaker 1: the way to go. Fresher legs generally works out pretty
- 9:39Speaker 1: well in that business. The whole warrior thing, the thing
- 9:43Speaker 1: of a jig with the Golden State Warriors, like you
- 9:47Speaker 1: toss Lebron in there and again it would be wonderful
- 9:50Speaker 1: from my job because these guys would be at each
- 9:53Speaker 1: other's necks. They'd be be complete chaos and chaos is
- 9:58Speaker 1: good talk radio. Again, a terrible idea in terms of
- 10:02Speaker 1: actually trying to win, But if you're just trying to
- 10:04Speaker 1: get headlines, boy, that would be the way to go now.
- 10:06Speaker 1: Page two Tala La Land follow up follow up a
- 10:10Speaker 1: story the other night as Lebron's buddy there who got
- 10:14Speaker 1: they're not really friends. In fact, it looks like they
- 10:16Speaker 1: don't like each other at all. But Luca Luka Hooka,
- 10:19Speaker 1: Luca Houkah, Luca not having a lot of fun right
- 10:23Speaker 1: now in Lakerland. Remember those stories that were planted by
- 10:25Speaker 1: Lucas people before the year. He's in the greatest shape
- 10:27Speaker 1: of his life. Oh my god, Luca Luca. Yeah, he
- 10:31Speaker 1: was in like the health magazines. He went to a
- 10:33Speaker 1: Yankee game, went in the booth with Michael Kay and
- 10:36Speaker 1: they were all bragging and all that. And while the
- 10:39Speaker 1: stats are pretty good for Luca, he's not in any
- 10:42Speaker 1: of the conversations for the MVP Award, and it appears
- 10:45Speaker 1: he's not having much fun. He's not having much fun.
- 10:48Speaker 1: So we didn't get too much into it in a
- 10:51Speaker 1: previous episode of the show, but during a recent Laker game,
- 10:55Speaker 1: Luka Doncic and JJ Reddick appeared to get into a
- 11:01Speaker 1: dust up as Luca was not having any of what
- 11:06Speaker 1: JJ Reddick was serving. You had to have somebody step
- 11:10Speaker 1: in as a peacemaker between those two. Now, immediately the
- 11:15Speaker 1: basketball community rallied around, and most of the talk was
- 11:21Speaker 1: it's not done, big a deal. What are you doing here?
- 11:25Speaker 1: What's wrong? Were you? Now? Others were concerned about this argument.
- 11:31Speaker 1: This is not this is not a great look. This
- 11:33Speaker 1: is not a great look. Luca the star player and
- 11:36Speaker 1: JJ Reddick. So agent Rich Paul Lebron's tody, the guy
- 11:42Speaker 1: that's ridden Lebron's coattails and made a fortune from the
- 11:46Speaker 1: Lebron True train. Yes, so Rich Paul claimed that the
- 11:52Speaker 1: interaction between Luca and JJ Reddick, he claimed, was part
- 11:57Speaker 1: of a healthy relationship. That's what I'm not making this up,
- 12:06Speaker 1: all right. So question, You've got Luka Doncik and JJ
- 12:10Speaker 1: Reddick clearly beefing during a Laker game, during a Laker game,
- 12:16Speaker 1: and the agent for Lebron's like, oh no, this is
- 12:21Speaker 1: all healthy here? Is this something or is this nothing?
- 12:26Speaker 1: Is it something or nothing? So the arrow on this
- 12:28Speaker 1: one is pointed at something. It was the Rich Paul
- 12:35Speaker 1: quote it was profound respect. He said, it was profound respect.
- 12:39Speaker 1: That was one of the quotes he gave there. So
- 12:42Speaker 1: this becomes a Peekaboo special. It's a Pekaboo special, as
- 12:49Speaker 1: in a peak behind the curtain, pinkaboo behind the curtain.
- 12:53Speaker 1: And what I saw from years and years of watching
- 12:58Speaker 1: similar situations in basket ball in other sports, I saw
- 13:02Speaker 1: two dudes who cannot stand each other, and this was
- 13:06Speaker 1: a flashpoint. This was a flashpoint. Didn't like each other,
- 13:11Speaker 1: and for a few seconds, I don't know if it
- 13:13Speaker 1: was six, ten, twelve seconds, whatever it was, these two
- 13:17Speaker 1: guys forgot that the red light is always on the camera.
- 13:21Speaker 1: They're always on camera, and what you saw there was reality.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Luca look like he had just had enough. He wanted
- 13:32Speaker 1: no more of podcast coach guy, the guy that got
- 13:36Speaker 1: the job because he suck up to Lebron more than anybody.
- 13:39Speaker 1: JJ Reddick, who should not be an NBA coach. I
- 13:41Speaker 1: think he's proven he shouldn't be an NBA coach by
- 13:44Speaker 1: the job that he's done with the Lakers. So Lucas
- 13:47Speaker 1: I don't want to deal with this guy. And Reddick
- 13:50Speaker 1: also had he give He just gives the punch me
- 13:53Speaker 1: in the fase vibe, doesn't he He's like, he's like
- 13:55Speaker 1: the entitled trust fund baby rich guy. Punch him in
- 13:59Speaker 1: the face. Guy, that's JJ Reddick. That's how he comes across,
- 14:04Speaker 1: so and ready like pouring gas on the fire. Yeah.
- 14:06Speaker 1: The other people it's like a you know, villian thing
- 14:09Speaker 1: where they gotta come in and interrupt these guys. So,
- 14:12Speaker 1: my theor is, you don't publicly snap like that, knowing
- 14:15Speaker 1: you're on camera. You're it's in a game. Unless the
- 14:19Speaker 1: wires were already frayed. The wires were already frayed. And
- 14:24Speaker 1: so a healthy relationship, my fat ass healthy relationship. Come on,
- 14:30Speaker 1: that's what you say when you go out there. You
- 14:34Speaker 1: punch a hole in the drywall, And he said, ah,
- 14:36Speaker 1: I just remodeling, you know, just no, you were angry,
- 14:38Speaker 1: you punched the drywall. There's a hole in the drywall,
- 14:40Speaker 1: get it fix? No, no, no, no, I was just remodeling.
- 14:43Speaker 1: It was I'm not sure what I'm gonna do with it,
- 14:45Speaker 1: but I just want to remind well, no, that's what
- 14:46Speaker 1: you're doing. So if it's so healthy, if this is
- 14:50Speaker 1: so healthy between these two guys, all right, why did
- 14:54Speaker 1: they go public with it, right, Why did they go public?
- 14:56Speaker 1: I mean, it's not they're not whispering, it's it's snarling. Right,
- 15:02Speaker 1: Normally you do this stuff behind closed doors. There are
- 15:04Speaker 1: people that hate each other all the time. In sports,
- 15:06Speaker 1: you got to live together for six seven months, depending
- 15:09Speaker 1: on the sport. There. You travel together planes, trains, and automobiles,
- 15:12Speaker 1: and you don't like people normally you put up with.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Eventually you get fed up and you have a point
- 15:19Speaker 1: where you snap, or you're like Juan Soto of the
- 15:23Speaker 1: Mets and you just have everyone you don't like traded
- 15:26Speaker 1: and Francisco Lindor because you don't like their politics or whatever.
- 15:29Speaker 1: So you haven't traded other teams. That's what the Mets did.
- 15:31Speaker 1: But the Lakers they just had a they had a
- 15:33Speaker 1: meltdown right there, and just Luca had that. He didn't
- 15:39Speaker 1: look inspired, let's put it that way. He looked irritated.
- 15:42Speaker 1: He looked irritated to me. And sometimes you say it's passion.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I didn't get the vibe. This was passion. I did not.
- 15:51Speaker 1: It was contempt of podcast coach guy. Contempt of podcast
- 15:55Speaker 1: coach guy. And so there you go. And the good
- 15:58Speaker 1: news is rheticuald be fire, Lebron will be gone, Radical'll
- 16:01Speaker 1: be back on television, and then some other JABBRONI will
- 16:04Speaker 1: be coaching the Lakers next year. All right, now, final point,
- 16:08Speaker 1: I wanted to mention this. Several people have sent me
- 16:10Speaker 1: emails on this. We did not talk about it in
- 16:12Speaker 1: the previous episode of the show, but we'll talk about
- 16:14Speaker 1: it here because I just so you stop sending me
- 16:17Speaker 1: messages about it, because I'll address So we go to
- 16:20Speaker 1: baseball Saint Louis, Missouri, where the Cardinals the Redbirds announced
- 16:26Speaker 1: over the weekend a new ticket option that offers bottomless
- 16:31Speaker 1: soft drinks and various ballpark foods. Yeah, yeah, including in
- 16:37Speaker 1: the price. To believe, it's twenty nine dollars. You get
- 16:40Speaker 1: a seat in Big Macland, they give you a wristband.
- 16:44Speaker 1: You know this has happened. Dodgers used to do this
- 16:46Speaker 1: back in the day, and it allows the fan to
- 16:49Speaker 1: return to a specific concession stand as many times as
- 16:53Speaker 1: they want at no additional charge. Now they have a
- 16:57Speaker 1: variety of food items that are available. However, you have
- 17:01Speaker 1: to limit it to three items, So twenty nine dollars
- 17:04Speaker 1: you get three items and you get your standard hot
- 17:07Speaker 1: dog popcorn, you've got soft drinks, you got all this
- 17:12Speaker 1: stuff on there, chicken fingers, all that. But you can
- 17:15Speaker 1: only choose three per game. So that's it. Three items.
- 17:19Speaker 1: That's an art question. Can you explain what signal the
- 17:25Speaker 1: Saint Louis Cardinals are sending their fans by adding this
- 17:28Speaker 1: all you can eat section? Yeah, so this is the signal,
- 17:33Speaker 1: is a flare gun from the Cardinals right in the
- 17:35Speaker 1: night sky. It's a dog whistle, is what it is.
- 17:38Speaker 1: It's not not just for the canines on the field,
- 17:41Speaker 1: because I'm old enough to remember when the Cardinals used
- 17:44Speaker 1: to win a lot and they had good teams, and
- 17:46Speaker 1: they don't anymore. They suck, they're bad. You know that
- 17:50Speaker 1: roster does not look like a playoff roster, and they
- 17:54Speaker 1: might want to give fans as they leave the stadium
- 17:56Speaker 1: a flea bath when you leave the stadium because you're
- 17:59Speaker 1: likely cover and fleas watching that Cardinal team out there
- 18:01Speaker 1: playing baseball. But this is the baseball version when you
- 18:05Speaker 1: announce and all you can eat section. It's the baseball
- 18:08Speaker 1: version of a white flag in March. It is. The
- 18:12Speaker 1: Dodgers used to have this when they weren't winning. They
- 18:15Speaker 1: got rid of it. And they started winning the World Series.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Of course they bought all the good players, but they
- 18:20Speaker 1: got rid of it. When your team, this is a malarism,
- 18:23Speaker 1: when your team starts pushing bottomless, broughtwurst and ice cream cups.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Dead di Wight, dead do Wight. Yeah, it's a long
- 18:33Speaker 1: standing belief of mine. When teams suck, you lean into
- 18:37Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. You cannot put a competitive team
- 18:40Speaker 1: on the field, so you lean into Ring of Honor.
- 18:45Speaker 1: You retire numbers from the glory days, you have more
- 18:49Speaker 1: bobblehead nights like the Angels do. Because the moms in
- 18:52Speaker 1: Orange County don't care if they win or not. They
- 18:54Speaker 1: just want to take their kids to a ball game,
- 18:55Speaker 1: and they don't really care who wins because it's Anaheim,
- 18:58Speaker 1: it's Orange County. I toss in that same family the
- 19:02Speaker 1: all you can eat but the all you can eat ticket,
- 19:05Speaker 1: which is it's like the Marie Antoinette of Major League Baseball.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Let them eat waders, let them eat nacho cheese from
- 19:16Speaker 1: a pump that's probably older than your kids and your
- 19:20Speaker 1: grandkids and all that. That's cardinal baseball. Baby, there you go.
- 19:25Speaker 1: You show up the size of a small pony and
- 19:28Speaker 1: by the time you're done with the all you can eat,
- 19:30Speaker 1: you leave as big as one of those Budweiser Clydesdale's.
- 19:33Speaker 1: You're just massive. They have to roll you in a
- 19:36Speaker 1: wheelbarrow out of the stadium. You're that big, right, and
- 19:38Speaker 1: they're still gonna make money. I'm not gonna do the
- 19:41Speaker 1: rant here. You've done it on my podcast the Fifth Hour,
- 19:44Speaker 1: like how buffets make money and what's the business model

- 19:57Speaker 1: that you really only have a finite time Like buffets
- 20:01Speaker 1: used to have endless there was no time limit, and
- 20:03Speaker 1: then they added a time limit. So you go to
- 20:06Speaker 1: like these buffets and it's like you got two hours
- 20:10Speaker 1: or two and a half, three hours to eat. Well,
- 20:12Speaker 1: it's about the time of a baseball game, and it
- 20:14Speaker 1: could be even less than that. Baseball now has a clock,
- 20:18Speaker 1: and sometimes these games end in less than two hours.

- 23:19Speaker 1: I see there are some questions coming in. And Mark
- 23:23Speaker 1: the full Name Guy, still fired up, says, you may
- 23:26Speaker 1: be right about the Saint Louis Card and those are
- 23:29Speaker 1: once proud franchise, best in the National League. Dodgers of
- 23:33Speaker 1: flourished since free agency, printing money, raiding Fort Knox, mutilating
- 23:38Speaker 1: little old ladies, blah blah blah blah blah, werewolves of London,
- 23:42Speaker 1: says Mark the full Name Guy. Now, a lot of
- 23:45Speaker 1: people don't understand the finances of the Dodger. The Dodgers
- 23:48Speaker 1: are fine financially. The problem will be in like twenty
- 23:52Speaker 1: thirty eight or something like that. That's gonna be the
- 23:55Speaker 1: problem because at some point they got to pay Otani
- 23:58Speaker 1: almost all of his money when he's no longer playing
- 24:01Speaker 1: and he's back in Japan and they're gonna have to
- 24:03Speaker 1: pay him all the money, and then that becomes a mess,
- 24:06Speaker 1: and then all these other guys that have deferred money.
- 24:09Speaker 1: By then the Cougenheim group, you would think, would sell
- 24:11Speaker 1: the team and someone else would have to take that on.
- 24:16Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a problem for later.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a now problem. You enjoy now and
- 24:20Speaker 1: then later on you're the Miami Marlins or the Sacramento
- 24:25Speaker 1: A's or something like that. And it's the way that
- 24:28Speaker 1: it goes. For now, though, it's really good for now,
- 24:30Speaker 1: it's really really good. Ferg Dog says, great job referencing
- 24:33Speaker 1: the movie Going in Style. Come to the Ben Malor
- 24:37Speaker 1: show for the hot sports takes, but you stay for
- 24:40Speaker 1: the pop culture references, and nobody knows more pop culture
- 24:44Speaker 1: than Big Ben. Yeah, of course. Let me tell you something.
- 24:46Speaker 1: I mean, how many other people could mention a movie
- 24:49Speaker 1: that nobody saw ten years ago? And right, not many?
- 24:53Speaker 6: That's why you're so impressive.
- 24:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you figure you put Morgan Freeman's name
- 24:57Speaker 1: in there, that people would watch it. Don't think it
- 25:00Speaker 1: won any awards or anything like that, and not that
- 25:02Speaker 1: that matters. But uh M writes in listener M, he's
- 25:07Speaker 1: a judge unless he's not, says first time listener, a
- 25:10Speaker 1: longtime caller. Well, that is true. There are a lot
- 25:12Speaker 1: of people that call the show that do not listen.
- 25:15Speaker 1: There are many people that call the show that do
- 25:17Speaker 1: not listen. With that being said, though, here we go,
- 25:19Speaker 1: let's strike up the man. We have no imaging for this.
