  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: All right, so our lead this. I had plenty of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: opportunity to go several different directions, and I did watch
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a good amount of what happened here. Saw the Bam
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: out of Bio, the most bogus eighty point game in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the history pro basketball.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: My god, oh my god.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And I really thought about doing that, but that would
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: reward the Miami Heat for the Shenanigans that took place
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in that game, as if they had a real commission
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: with balls, that there would be some.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Kind of mark on that. It was ridiculous.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It was embarrassing for the NBA, but most things that
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: happen the regular season are embarrassing.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that later.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Also, Aaron Judge playing like it's the World Series for
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Team USAI who goofed I've got to know. But we
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: begin with this our lead story from Lost Wages, Nevada,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: which is also Lost Trades Nevada.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so the story.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I think this is by far the biggest football story,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the biggest football story. The second day of What I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Love is the legal tampering period for the NFL. The
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Silver and Black continue to be in the headlines. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: know our buddy Purrito's were upset and a lot of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: the Raiders who their fan base, I will say this
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: for their their fan base has more passion than the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: team does. A It's almost like they still think they're good,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: which is hilarious to me. They blow they're the Browns
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: of the Jets. They just have a different logo. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: yet again a stunter from Sin City.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And man alive. This is why. So if you didn't hear,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I assume you've heard by now. You never know.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Maybe you don't pay attention. Perhaps you've been off the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: grid and you've been away from all forms of media.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So the Raiders, who a couple days ago it was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: announced with much fanfare, with much fanfare, had said bye
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: bye to Max Crosby. They sent his ass out of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Vegas and send him to Maryland. Well, now, psych the
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Raiders announced that the Ravens had backed out of the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: agreement to acquire Edge rusher Max Crosby. What does that mean?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: That means ix nay on the trade, a no trade. Now,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: this did not It is interesting to point out also
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: this did not come from the normal Jabbronis Adam Schefter
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: didn't have it, The rap Sheet didn't have it that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the NFL media. This was a story that was not leaked.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: It was delivered by the Raiders on social media. Normally
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: these things are just given to the insiders to get
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: out there. It was just a random social media post.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: One so random. There were people that truly believed that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the Raiders account had been hacked. And so the previous
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: agreed deal, the deal that previously had been agreed to
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: where the Raiders were sending Crosby to Baltimore and then
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: they got some crab fries and two first round draft
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: picks in return, and that was set to become official
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: officially I mean kosher in under twenty four hours. And
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it turns out no turnout. The loads's the parties over. Yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So the word is Crosby failed. The physical his representation
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: ran to the microphones or this gut social media this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, it'll be good to go. I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was gonna this summer. Everything will be good. Everything will
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be good, all right, So that is a good jumping
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: off point. Let us discuss the question the Ravens pulling
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: out of the Max Crosby trade with the Raiders because
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: of what is the claim is a failed physical How
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: realistic does that report come across. That's what's being tossed
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: out there, that the Ravens said. No, no, bad knee.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's a bad knee for Max Crosby. So my views
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: on this, I've got house band, champagne, and PlayStation and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we'll throw all of these together and we're going to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: drop a brand new album and whether you like it
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: or not, we're just gonna have a bunch of bots
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: download the album. Isn't that what all the people do today?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: All the kids just have bots downloaded, so it doesn't
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: matter if it's good or not. You just have artificially
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: fake downloads, all right. Anyway, first of all, this entire episode,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: if you are on the side, well, the Ravens are
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: in the right. Another, I believe the Ravens doctors. I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: have bad news. This is a stupid test and you've
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: just failed. Sorry, not sorry, Okay, you are gullible. Just
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: how gullible are you if you believe this is an
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: accurate story that's being fed to us that the Ravens
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: physical was the reason that Max Crosby's trade was declined.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: This is one of the oldest open secrets in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: NFL and all of sports. Even when I was a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: little kid, and I'm so old, I was around before
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the Internet. But even then, when I was growing up,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I knew about this the past. The physical dance is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: political as much as anything. It's not really medicine. It's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: not medicine, it's political. Let me explain for those of
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: you a little slow in the back of the room here.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: The team doctor, whether you work for the Ravens or
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the Patriots or the Vikings, whoever, the team doctor is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: all right. They work for the team. They don't work
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: for the Mayo Clinic. They're more like the house band.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: They're the house band, whether it's on a boat or
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: a casino, they're the house band, and they play whatever
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they are told to play. That's how it works. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: if the GM wants Max Crosby. If the ownership in
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Baltimore says we want Max Crosby, what happens then the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: story is, well, listen, the doctor gave him a physical.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He's got some minor wear and tear. It's perfectly normal.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: The guy's played a lot of snaps in the NFL,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Max Crosby, And it makes sense if you suddenly don't
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: want the player because you've had a change of heart,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: because you realize that wasn't such a great.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Trade for you for whatever reason.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: If you believe that, then the knee, the structural instability.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: We just can't make the trade. We just can't. We
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: just cannot do it. Should the doctor push back again?
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: The house band, the doctor pushback. The Ravens would then
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: fly to Chicago. They visit lou mal Naddi's. They get
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a deep Dish pie and then have lunch with Doc Mike,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: who will then sign off on it. Our caller, Doc
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Mike from Chicago. Right. They'll say, yeah, no problem, ergo uh.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: The Ravens change their mind. They say, well, we don't
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: want to give up that many draft picks. That's not
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: what the Ravens do. First round draft picks like that,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: that's out of our culture. So we we have a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: chance here because the trade hasn't been sent through the league.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna bow out of it, and we're gonna
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: use the physical as a fall guy.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Everyone's got to have a fall guy, all right.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So secondly, keeping the rhythm of this hour, going the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: hour of Max Crosby. So Max Crosby goes back to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Vegas for now and Baltimore does the old mutambo. They
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: reject Max Crosby. So which part of this story the
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: most uncomfortable, Because there's a lot of uncomfortable things about
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this There's a lot of things that are very odd.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: There's oddities to this story, which makes it so good,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: just great. So the Raiders, I'm gonna start with them.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: They tried prematurely. We have pills. If you've got premature issues,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: listen to the Overnight Show. But the Raiders tried to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: celebrate prematurely. Now the breakup, the divorce papers had not
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: yet been signed, but they were already having a party
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to celebrate the divorce. And all that's classic mistake. You
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: never pop the champagne, ever, don't pop the champagne until
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the paperwork clears the League office. You don't measure the
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: drapes before you win the election. Okay, so bad job
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: by them, the Raiders. And then they did this just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ridiculous victory lap. Because the Raiders don't win during the
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: regular season, they suck. They're the Jets of the Browns.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So when they make a move a transaction in the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: off season, they celebrate like they're good at something. Say hey,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we blow, but we're good at this. Of course, anybody
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: can say they want a transaction because you won't know
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: for months and months and month. They don't play till September.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: We're sitting in March. They don't play till September. So
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the Raiders go around. It's like, look at us, man,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: let me, let me get like peacocks with their feathers
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: in the air everywhere. The Raiders, we got two first
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: round picks. We so excited, high fiving, chest pumping. Tom
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Brady probably in the back polishing the Lombardi right there.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Of course he has one one with the Raiders, twirling
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: his mustache like every cartoon villain. Tom Brady there, we're genius,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: says Oops of Daisy, Oops of Daisy. Tom failed physical
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and the trade is D E A D with Baltimore.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: So Crosby boomerangs back, and since this is the portion
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: where we talk about the shame, so Crosby goes back
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: on the old boomerang. He bounces back to the Raiders
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and kind of like bad calls on this show that
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: just keep coming back every day, whether you want them
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: or not, they just pop up. And I'm not I'm
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: not naming it Lrae. I'm not gonna name Michael Leprekron.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't say no, I'm not going hollering James. I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: not saying that name it. No, definitely not, definitely not no.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: But here's the point. So the Raiders get the player back,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: which you'd say, well, this guy was boring to be
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a Raider, this is great and all that stuff.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: It's wonderful.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: The plan would be just to flip cross begin They're
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: ready to spend a bunch of money on some marginal
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: players in free agency, and now they lost the two
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: first round picks they were all excited about and all
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: the all jazzed up for and they've lost. I don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: really care about the salary cap flexibility. Some people are
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: worked up into a ladder about that. I don't really
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: worry about that. The leverage part of it is where
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: they're screwed, because now the teams that were interested in
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Max s rawsby a number of them have filled the void,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and those that haven't filled the void, well, we don't
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: have to pay that much. You guys are screwed. You
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: got to work with us now, all right? And then
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: how about Crosby, the most awkward of them all, Max Crosby.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: This dude posted a thirteen minute could buy video to
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the Raiders thirteen minute heartfelt message to Raider Nation Max Crosby,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: ik umba, My god, it's like quitting your job, giving
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a very dramatic speech about how your bosses suck and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: the morale at work is terrible, and nobody ever gets
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: raises here and people are very upset. And then hr
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: walks in and says, oh, by the way, you know,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: actually that answer a thing didn't go through, So you got.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: To come back to work tomorrow. What say what?
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: The Raiders still have time to make this okay? For now,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it's the walk of shame. The walk of shame, you
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: know what it's like? Late night booty call there three
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: in the morning walking out, and a couple of people
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: for some reason awake. They look at you like, what
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: are you doing? You know what you're doing? All disheveled
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So everyone knows that Crosby wanted out,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: He wanted people the Raiders. He didn't like Alice Guerrero
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: or Tom Brady thinks he's a phony, and Brady does
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: appear to be a phony as an executive. So Crosby
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: wanted out, and so fine, and now he's got to again.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: For now he's got to go back and pretend, pretend
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: that the breakup thing didn't happen, all that stuff. So
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all right, now, final thought on this flipping forward. So
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: question here is where does this Max Crosby story.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Go next with the Raiders.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: So on this one you should pull up a chair
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: and get some popcorn, cause this is good. This is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: where it becomes a late night infomercial. But wait, there's more.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But wait, there's what are you talking about?
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: What?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Wait, there's more? What are you yapping about? Yeah?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so the think about like this, the PlayStation you're playing,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: you're doing your thing, You're like Kyler Murray whatever, you're
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: playing games. And then he's my favorite gamer Kyler Murray
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: little guy. So the PlayStation gets turned off and nothing
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: got saved. The memory card is toasted, and so the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Raiders have to start the game from the beginning level.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: They go back to the start this is my nightmare
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and the Ravens they hit the big red failed physical box.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: What's in the box? Hit that?
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: And so suddenly the whole deal goes poof like a
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: magician and Congress adulations to Max Crosby. Here he won
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the shammy whammy, So congratulations on that.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: You get the shammy whammy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And now the Raiders are back to where they start,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: as we said, and that's the interesting story here is
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: they're wandering through the flea market of the NFL here
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and like, okay, this is the NFL's trade bazaar, and
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: they're holding Crosby up like a slightly dented antique lamp
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: and they got this lamp. It's classic. It might be
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: worth a lot of money, however, we don't know. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: antiques road show is what it is.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: And it works great.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: A little wear and tear, no problem, no problem, use
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit pre owned. So there's the catch. Now
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: entering the conversation here, Baltimore very publicly red tagged. Max
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Crosby is damaged at a garage sale, So true or not,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that label is going to follow Crosby around. So now
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the puppets underneath Tom Brady, who do
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: nothing but just follow the instructions of Tom Brady in
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the raiderfront office, they now have to adjust the price.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: The market has spoken. They have to adjust the price.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: The dancing shoes are on. The dancing shoes are on there,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: and they're doing the limbo. Dude, the limbo? How low
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: can you go?
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: You look around?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: You got buffalo out there, New England, Chicago, Dallas is
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: lurking around there. They're all circling like bargain hunters on
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a Monday morning when the new supplies come in at
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the Amazon liquidation store and they're trying to find some
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: good stuff there that's in the box. And Crosby's still
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a star. Just now he's on the not the full
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: discount rack, but a lot less than he was the
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: other day. So slightly scratched box now for Max Crosby,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and the Raiders are hoping someone still wants to purchase
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the Max Crosby package. Is the Bane Mahlor show If
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you would like to be part, you can join us
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: right now. We'll talk about that, or if you want
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: to discuss one of the most ridiculous accomplishments in NBA history,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: one of the most choreographed moments I've ever seen. Oh
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: my god, this Bam out of Bio performance. There should
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: be a lot of people embarrassed. They don't seem embarrassed.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know why they're not embarrassed, but I think
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you should be. That's kind of spinning a loogie at
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant and Wilt Chamberlain and so many others in
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: NBA history what Bam out of Bio did. But I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: guess they have no shame in that game anymore. It's
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: the modern NBA. Back in the old days, if you
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: had a twenty five point lead and you left your
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: star in the game to try to set some kind
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: of record, what would happen is some goon would come
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: over and just lay the lumber on top of that
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: guy and he would be out for the next month.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: But that's not how he work. Everyone's lovey dovey in
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the NBA, so they don't operate like that. And also,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Team USA losing to the Italians it's up with that
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: as Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper proving they're still chokar
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to some big games. If you want to call these
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: big games, which baseball does, and they did not get

  Speaker 3: So a lot going on.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: We talked earlier about Max Crosby as he is back
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: to the Raiders. A lot of people very upset in
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the NFL, and it's telling the NFL general managers many
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: of them appear to be upset because they know what
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: the Ravens are.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: Doing is dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty dirty.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk more about that later on, but our
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: lead this hour is from pro bouncy Ball. Now, you know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: if you listen to this show on a regular basis,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: for us to talk about pro bouncy Ball in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: month of March, something like really crazy has to happen,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: something really really crazy has to be taking place there,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: some kind of accomplishment.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Well that happened.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: There was an historic performance. And I assume you've been
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: paying attention here and you know what we're talking about.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But there's a chance that maybe you missed it somehow,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you were not paying attention. Maybe're watching the World Baseball Classic,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the Italians taking down Team the end the World Baseball Classic,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: not eliminated, but embarrassing. Not eliminated, but embarrassing for Team USA.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: And so with that being said, the story get to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: the point.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So the story is Bam bam at a Baio who
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: bam out of Bio? The Miami Heat big man, just
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: your generic NBA big man scored.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Let's see, how many points do you score? Fifty points?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: No, fifty five points, double nickels? No, how about sixty?
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: Do I hear sixty? How about sixty five?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Do I hear seventy seventy from the woman to the bat?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: No?
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Do I hear seventy five seventy five from the fat
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: guy with a cigar? No?
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Eighty three points?
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Bam bam eighty three points against the Wizards, which I'm
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: told is an NBA team, but not really. I'm told
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: an NBA team, but not really. That is the second
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: most points in NBA history. Let me repeat that last
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: part because it seems somewhat interesting. That is the second
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: most eighty three points. There's only been one person that
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: scored more points in an NBA game, the goat the
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: greatest of them all, Wilt Chamberlain. And now Bam out
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of Bio. So The story here is he passed Kobe
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Bryant twenty years ago. A little over twenty years Kobe
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Bryant had eighty one points against the Toronto Raptors on
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a Sunday night at the arena then called Staple Center,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a ragtag Laker team, which I believe, we're down by
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: double digits at halftime against Toronto, and they won that game,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and Kobe Bryant ended up with the eighty one point performance.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: And so now Bam out of Baio has passed Kobe
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: and not the all time record. Wilt Chamberlain still has
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the all time record. Considering the reputation or lack thereof,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: of Bam out of Bayo. He's had how many games
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: is here with less than ten points?
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Seven?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Because had seven games where he scored less than ten points,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and now he goes out and puts up an.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Eighty eighty three point game.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but considering that and also the opponent here and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: how all of this went down. As much as I
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: would love to sit here behind the bully pulpit in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the Benny bright Side and just sing sweet little byes
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: about how amazing Bam out of Bayo was, the problem,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: I watched the game. If I hadn't watched the game
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and I just you know, watching the score and looking
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: at the box score.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: So oh wow wee oh man.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Wowe kauz Awi, that's so exciting. But I watched the game.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: That's the problem.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of people that are like, well, this
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: is not a great accomplishment. How how could this not
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: be a great accomplishtion? You don't know, ball eighty three points?
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to diminish the the performance.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: So that's a good jumping off point.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question for the class as we discuss.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: This, what is the word?
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: What is the word for Miami Heat center Bam out
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of bio scoring eighty three points the second most in
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: NBA regular season history or playoff history, the way that
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: he did it for the Heat.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Now, what's the word?
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: So my observations, I've got skid row, sleeper cell, and
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: checking account, and we will combine all of these things
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make the reading rainbow
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: is what we're all right? So number wa, number wa. Yeah,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: So my word is deplorable with a capital D deploy
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: as in an absolute jumbo sized basket of deplorables. The
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: whole entire thing smells l Stinko is the phrase.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: That I will use the Miami Heat.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And again, this is something like if you're not a
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: knowledgeable fan, you don't watch ball, you don't understand.
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You're like all excited. You know, you got your face
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: paint your Miami Heat onesie, You're all excited. But we
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: watched the game and that's problematic. So the Heat were
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: up I think it was twenty five or twenty six
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: points or something like that, and the Miami Heat were
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: intentionally fouling the Washington Wizards players on the inbounds just
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: so Bam out of Bio would have more opportunities to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: get the ball. I'm not making this. They want to
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: have more possessions. So the Miami Heat, who were up
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: by twenty six, we're doing hack not hack a Shack
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: because he's long gone, but hack a Wizard, Hack a Wizard.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: It's like something from Harry Potter. That's what they were doing,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: and that I'm supposed to sit here and celebrate that.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: The Miami Heat up twenty six, are trying to elongate
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: the game so Bam out of Buyout can get a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: record my fat ass. They also missed foul shots intentionally.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: They intend Miami heat intentionally missed foul shots. So again
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: more opportunities missing foul shots on purpose. It wasn't basketball,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: It was the dumbing down, the dumbing down of the
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: NBA record book. You want a fun fact on dumbing down,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I got a fun fact for you.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: On fun fact.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Didn't you know the term dumbing down came from Hollywood
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: when they were making movies and if things were too complex,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: the studio executives would say dumb it down for the
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: people that bought tickets, because they thought their customers were idiots,
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and so they had to make everything elementary. So the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: term dumbing down is a movie term from early hollyw
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: hooray for Hollywood.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: All right, anyway, look that up, Coop. I think I'm
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: running there. I think I'm righting the so.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: No, but you got the Wizards here, the Wizards, who
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: are one of the many tanking tumbleweeds of the NBA,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: just kind of floating like a tumbleweed down the country road,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: just floating along, not trying to win, not trying to win.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: They want lottery balls. Right, everyone knows what's going on.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: There's about thirteen teams a Baker's dozen that are not
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: trying to win in the NBA, and they roll out
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: of lineup the Wizards that look like a collection of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: middle aged leftovers from a late Saturday at the YMCA.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: That's the Washington Wizards right there, and we are told
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: there I say this in the air, quotes their coach,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: somebody named Brian Keith. He's standing there on the sidelines
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: with this aw shucks look on his I don't know
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: what will only do it? Come on on the Wizards.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Now they're couple ble as well. They did not attempt
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: to double team Bam out of Bayo until midway through
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He had over forty points at halftime.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: They didn't say, well, maybe we should adjust here because
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: they weren't trying.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: To win the game. Hello.
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And then it was so comical. They were doing three
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: against one, So you had three guys guarding Bam out
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: of Bayo, and then you had the two other guys
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: on the Wizards who were just kind of dancing around.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I guess that's the The three and two zone was
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: not even his own. It's like three on one, and
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: then just two other people futzing around and all that stuff.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: And meanwhile, while all of this is going on.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: In the fourth court of the game's long over, the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Wizards aren't even trying to win the game. They're conceding
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the game. And then you have bam out of Bio
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: being force fed the ball like he's Joey Chestnut at
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the fourth of July hot dog eating contest, the Glizzy
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Globber just going for it. They're just trying to attack
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: as much as he can, shoveling it in forty three
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: forty three attempts at the foul line. Forty three. That
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: is not just a record. That is a trip to
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: skid row for the NBA. And when I say skid row,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about our favorite truck driver, truck stop Fungus,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: who is wearing his tidy whities. But this is a
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: skid mark, is what this is on the NBA. Does
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: anyone disagree? Do I see no one raising their hand?
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: This is a skid mark on the NBA. What bam
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Adebayo did. It's embarrassing. It's absolutely embarrassing. Is it memorable?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Is it historic? No, it is not historic. It's synthetic.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like going and walking around in Ikea,
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and you know they got all displays. They've got the
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: sofa display section, they got the office section, they've got
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the kitchen section. Like going into the kitchen section while
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: you're walking around Ikea and grabbing one of those plastic
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: apples and saying, Okay, that's my meal, that's dinner.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: No, it's not. That's not it's not real. It's not real.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: But wait, there's more.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Now have you heard as we turned the pager, have
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you heard the conspiracy that is going on with this
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio?
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: So you have not okay, good?
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: So there is a conspiracy theory that what led to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Bam out of Bayo having an eighty three point performance
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat the greatest modern performance Wilt Chamberlain
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of course, million years ago and back back in the day,
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: but that defected in the history of basketball, Bam out
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: of Bio. His performance here and what he was able
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: to do, and how little he had done up until
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: this point. Six averaging sixteen points a game, I believe,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: was the number in the history of the NBA, in
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: the entire history of league. Somebody with that kind of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: stat line had never even scored sixty in an NBA
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: game and Bam goes out there and scores eighty. So
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: let's get to the conspiracy. Three eighty three was his number.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So question, is it true that Heat coach Eric Spolstra
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: coach Spo Heat coach Eric Spolstra orchestrated orchestrated Bam out
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of bios historic performance as payback to a franchise legend
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: developing hot dot dot dot. So now I'm gonna wear
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: my tinfoil hat. Just imagine I've got a tinfoil hat
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna slide that down here.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Nice hat, Thank you.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: So both Eric Spolstra and Bam out of Bio in
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: their postgame reference comments made by Flash now not the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: actual superhero Flash no, no, no, no.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: The basketball version.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: The guy that has a statue that looks nothing like
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: him outside the arena in Miami. That guy, yeah, the
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: forefather of the glory days.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Of the Miami Heat. Dwayne Wade. Uh, Dwayne Wade.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: So, Dwayne Wade did some interview on a podcast for
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: friends and family recently, and Wade said that he had
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: visited Miami.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I paraphrasing this, but he had visited Miami. The Heat were.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Missing a star player. He said who could bring a
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: certain quote buzz to the city, And he implied that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Miami just wasn't buying into the Miami Heat because they
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: did not have that star that got people excited. That
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: things were a little sleepy when it came to the Heat.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: And by the way, Dwayne Wade is not wrong. He's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: not wrong. Tyler Hero and bam out of Baio do
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: not move the needle.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: They don't. They don't move the needle.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: So Miami's a middling team. They're a middling team the
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Eastern conf It's just not very good. They're a jat jat,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: just a team that's the Miami Heat. Nevertheless, the conspiracy
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: is that that commentary was so upsetting the coach, Spoe
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: and to bam out of Bayo as their former teammate,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: and then in case of obviously Spolster was the coach
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and bam Adebayo and and Wade know each other very
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: well and all that so so that they were upset
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and these comments were kind of a big deal in
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: that world.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: We're not in that world, but that was a big deal.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: So that was a CTA situation, a call to action situation,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: activating the sleeper cell and the result was what happened
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: in the game on Tuesday night.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: That's it. So I buy that.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: I buy that Eric Spolstra and bam Adebayo were opportunists.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: They were opportunitists.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: They didn't know going into the game that this opportunity
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: would present themselves. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that far to say that this was rigged from the
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: league office. However, all right, they took advantage of the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: tomato cans from DC. They should really change the Wizards
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: should change their name and contact the Harlem Globe Trotters
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: and see if they can get that Washington general's name.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: That's really what they need, living up to the legacy
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: of Washington basketball. Yeah, why not? The Heat in this game?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: They never trailed. They never trailed in this game. The
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: game was over from jump Street, and despite holding a
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: commanding lead to twenty five to twenty six points something
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: like that in the fourth quarter, the Heat did not
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: pull bam out of Bio until very late in the
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: fourth quarter, very very late in the fourth quarter, allowing
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: him to get the most bogus stat line you've ever
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: seen in the history of the NBA. There the second
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: highest single game point total in the history of the association.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And it's all because d Wade said there's no buzz
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and the star players don't really do anything for the
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: people who are sports fans in Miami, and Wade takes
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: a shot at them, and all of a sudden, this happens.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: And let me ask you a question, is that heat culture?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Is that the Heat culture? Like, what are we doing here?
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Seriously?
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: So where the bell coach Spo and bam Otebayo? The
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: shame Bell shame, shame, shame. Yeah, now the heat culture.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: If that's heat culture, they have sunk to a new low.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: If that's the Miami Heat. And of course I know
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: the way this works. And over time, the low information
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: fan doesn't remember the nuance. They only remember the outcome, right,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and they'll see the eighty three point game. They'll fail
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: to mention the fact that there's some context involved in this,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and it always gets lost over time. And I know
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: we talked a lot over the years about the greatest
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: scandal in my lifetime, the cheating as one two holes,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: and I'll bring that up and people.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: Say, why are you still talking about that? They won
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: the world seriously, just let it go and all that.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Because people can't handle nuance because they're morons, they're dumb dums, they.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: Can't handle it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: So I understand those details will vanish over time, that
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Bam out of Bio, the ridiculousness of this will vanish,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: and only certain people will remember what we all know
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: in the moment and things, certain things get stored away
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: and other things go away and they don't make it
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: to that lasting memory. All right now, Final point to
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the Zebras question, what should the NBA do about the
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: officiating crew of Ben Taylor, Pat Frere and d Drick
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: Taylor after the Bam out of Bio eighty three point
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: conga line to the charity stripe. It was a free
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: throw jamboree is what it was in this game and
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: NBA record for attempts, NBA record for make foul shots
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: in this game. So my answer on what the NBA
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: should do with these guys is simple. You send Ben
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Taylor Pat Prayer I believe that's his name, and Didrich
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Taylor send those guys a box of chocolates and a
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: rule book an NBA rule book old school, not on
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: a tablet, an actual rule book, preferably the one they
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: ignored the one they ignored in this game. Fouls are
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: judgment calls. You are never supposed to call every foul.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: You have to be able to let the game breathe.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: You don't call everything. You have to swallow a whistle
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: at times. That's a grown up a referee. These guys
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: a bunch of amateurs, A bunch of amateurs. Right, These Schmendricks,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the three horsemen of the NBA statistical apocalypse, out there
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: galloping through the game with whistles blazing. Right, It's like
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: they just discovered a new toy. Wee, let's call a fowl.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: We Oh, somebody breathed on bam outa baiu foul. Oh
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: my god, someone's in his same sea code, call a foul.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Dumb dumbs bam Adamau didn't just get to the foul line.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: He opened a checking account at merchants Bank. Even SGA
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: thought that was egregious. What happened to that game? Even
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Shade Jogas Alexander's like, oh my god, you're a you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: a merchant.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: It's ridiculous.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: Thirty six of forty three from the foul line. That
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: is not a stat line, That is a membership plan.
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: I think costco membership is what you got. All kinds
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: of records were absolutely vaporized here. And yet, if you're honest,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: out of bio again, he didn't do it alone. The
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Washington Wizards were part of this. They're in competence. The
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: coach with the aw shucks body.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Language, I don't know what to do. And then you've got.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: The referees over there that were like the lookout person
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: and the getaway driver. That was the referees and Washington
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: just any kind of if if a little bit of
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: sweat got on bam, that was a foul. If one
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of the guys on the Wizards checked out a hot
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: girl in the crowd, that was a foul. The whole
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: thing so using malor math, and I watched the entire
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: second half. I didn't watch a second of the first half,
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: but watch the entire second half. Sixty five percent of
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the foul calls were softer than a marshmallow in July
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: in Arizona. Okay, And so yes, the league and why
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: not you investigate everything else, Not that anything's gonna come
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: on this, but you might as well investigate it. It
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: was so bad that it made you think that something
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: funny was going on. Yeah.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I know the NBA they don't really care about credibility
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: anymore because of load management.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: And you got coaches advocating for less games because the
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: players are soft and all is embarrassing.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: But the message should be simple, stay in your lane. Now.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: Is it possible that they just got carried carried away
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: in the moment? Do you think somebody from the mob
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: got a hold of them?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it was. I have no idea.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: It just looks so shady that it makes you wonder.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: And there have been games where people have fixed stats
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and whatnot, and that's going on right now. So it's
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing that makes you go, hmmm, wonder
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: what that's all about.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. It's Mallard.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: How about that? To the third degree? This is one
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: thing that gets grill cobal.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Gardner Minshew on Monday, and
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: now Minshew joined Jacoby Brissett and Keaton Slovis.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: What do you say?
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: It like that?
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: There's a question, Mark says the only quarterbacks on the roster. Ben,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: do you think the Cardinals signed Minshew to be cul
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Murray's replacement or are they still moves to be made.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well they don't have a replacement Brissett. And I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: like Gardner Minshew, but he's made me look like an idiot.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: It's fair to say the Cardinals are running low and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: they're not trying to win.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Coop.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: This is a sign you're not trying to put a
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: winning team together when you have that quarterback room, buy
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: your Cardinals season tickets.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: Next, Jags wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior had an outstanding
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: rookie season, but came crashing back down to earth last year.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: It's now being reported that the Jags are listening to
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: offers for the wide receiver Ben Do you think Jacksonville
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: is giving up on him too quickly or was last
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: year more than just a sophomore slump?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: All right, So the way this goes Coop, the rumors
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: pop off that Brian Thomas Junior is gonna be traded,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: then the Jags deny it, Then the rumors pop up again,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: then they deny it, and so they did deny this round.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: But if someone's willing to meet the asking price, it's
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: kind of like at auction. Right, if you meet the
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: minimum the requirement, you get the players. So I absolutely
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: there's a shot he gets straighted between and now in
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: the draft. And I don't think it's giving up on him.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I think he's got issues next.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: This is funny timing, but the other day Steve Curse
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: said over the weekend that the NBA needs to rethink
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: how the game's being officiated, as offensive players have too
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: much freedom with their off arm puts defenders in impossible positions.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Benezee right. I think they need a lot of soul
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: searching at the NBA coop. I think they need to
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment. I hope this bam out of
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: bio thing was the moment.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: How did we you pass.
• 40:02

• 40:38
  Speaker 6: and I had a topic that came up earlier this
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: week about going through your partner's phones and if it's toxic,
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: if it's a bad idea, and I just want to say, yes,
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: it is a bad idea.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: It was on your phone. Moreno, don't even.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: Plant it in your head that you should go through
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: their phone, because then you start like conjuring ideas and
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: then it starts manifesting, and then it just.
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Starts itching in your brain. They go and take a shower,
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: and you're like.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Oh, now you shouldn't. Yeah, I mean you should be spying.
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. You should trust your partner.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: But is there stuff on there that I'm not talking
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: about my phone?
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, Coop, Yeah, you know, I don't know my wife
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: knows my phone password.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: I know her phone password, my wife.
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: And that's fine if you have like that type of thing.
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: But I'm talking about like.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: That type of thing, like an open, honest relationship.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: All I have is I have some you know, people
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: that try to threaten to kill me. I have them
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: saved on my phone or whatever. But other than that,
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's nothing, nothing too exciting on there.
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I had. I had a guy try
• 41:48
  Speaker 7: to give me his password the other day and I
• 41:50
  Speaker 7: was like, I don't need.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: That really, thank you, though, Yeah.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: What about his bank account? It was a very important question. Now,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: this guy's a big p one. He's a senior Brigadio
• 42:02

  Speaker 1: big fan of the Asian women. Yes, he found himself.
• 42:16

• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Oh gosh, he's sixty five, this lady's twenty six.
