  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We are back at it here as just a few
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: hours ago as the crow flies to the East Coast,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: people complaining about, Oh, it's such.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: A late game.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, really not o'clock.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, bunch of losers. Stay up, you dope.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I stay up all night, you marons. Anyway, we will
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: not waste any time. We'll get to the main event,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the main event inside the Dome in Indianapolis, the Hippodrome,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the final act as the end of the road for
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: March Madness. That's all she wrote here in early April.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Dustyam mays Michigan squad looking to complete the mission on
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: an absolute burner in the tournament, and they go against
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley's Yukon squad. Did you watch were you engaged
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: in this? Were you locked in in this? No, we
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: had Iron Eagle Bill Raffrey, who's like a thousand years
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: old Onions still calling the games, and Grant Hill, the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: three amigos right out there calling the game on the TV.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: And don't worry if you did not watch, We watched
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: so you would not have to. It's our good mits
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for the day. And in the end, when all the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: confetti had fallen, Chigan is the champions, as they hoisted
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the national title trophy there at mid court, out Mustling,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: out Mustling the squad from Yukon sixty nine to sixty three.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Now it is interesting to note if you took Yukon
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and the points you won, so I should just put
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: that on the little nobody's betting on these games, of course,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: but Yukon did cover the six and a half to seven.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: The line was just before the end of the game.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Michigan wins this game. And they made not one, but
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: two more three point shots than you and I made two.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: They made two three point shots. What do we I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: say before the lust of that happens, before the three
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: point shot was put into college basketball. But anyway, final
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: fourth most Outstanding Player Elliott Cadot, don't you know, as
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: he wins it and led the Wolverines with nineteen points,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: including the first three pointer, which came at seven oh
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: four on the game clock in the second half. And
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: this is the program's second title. You got to go
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: back to Night teen eighty nine. Now, it is a
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: fun fact to point out that while many people assume
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the position that the Wolverines won a championship when they
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: had the Fab five, that would be fake. That is
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the Mondela What am I trying to think of? The
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Mandela effect? There would go the Mandela effect. People assume
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: if you're of a certain age, well, Chris Weber and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: those guys Jalen Rose, they must have won a championship
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: if that's the Mandela effect. No, they did not win.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: They did not win the championship. They got to the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: championship game a couple of times.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: But timeout time out. No, they didn't.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Didn't get it done, all right. The better story, though,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room. It's good jumping all point.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: As Yukon goes down. We had Yukon winning the whole thing,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: So we're bummed out by that. Let us discuss the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: question what went wrong? Simple question? What went wrong for
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley's Yukon squad As they had the leaded a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: couple of points early in the game, midway through the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: second half, it was close and only down by four
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: at halftime, they end up losing by six. So what
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: went wrong for Dan Hurley's Yukon squad. I've got rampage,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: foot locker and flirty techs.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and we'll combine all of these.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Things together and we're going to have a confetti party,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is what we're going to have.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So a Dan Hurley's team.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: As we talked about in the lead up to this game,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I know you listen to everything I say unless you don't.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But the lead up to this game, we talked about
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: how Yukon could win this game, what they had to
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: do to win this game.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: They played the way they wanted.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I truly believe Yukon played the way they wanted in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: this game. They dragged Michigan into a grinded out game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Michigan get close to ninety points like they had knowing
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ninety plus in every one of these games. It was
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a grind it out game. They played in the mud.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: In the mud, they played in the mud just like
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: they had designed, and they did not plan Dan Hurley
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: did not plan on doing some karaoke, and they did
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the karaoke there. They cranked up the old Commodores tune.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Brick house. It was a brick house and maker miss.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: They always s a maker miss mak or miss, gotta
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: make it or miss it, all that stuff. So Yu
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Khon struggled significantly from anywhere on the court.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: They just could not make a shot. Neither team shot
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Well, you toss in the Komodo dragon in the room.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: The foul trouble specifically what.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: We call a rampage by the Zebras, a trampling by
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the Zebras in this game Dan Hurley's team, it's an
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: unpopular opinion. It needs to be said. They got squeezed.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley's team got squeezed. And that's the reality here.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: You can roll your eyes all.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: You want, Oh you did, Why you say that you
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: lose her? I know, call like I see it, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: that's what happened.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Now you can say that's what should have happened, and
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you're okay with it.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: That's fine. It happened.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: They got squeezed. They did, and you know you can
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: do what you want with that. The numbers don't lie. Michigan.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I believe it was twenty eight foul shot attempts. Yukon
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: had fifteen, and that is a plus thirteen gap. Closed
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the gap, Close the gap. It is interesting to know
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that the Yukon Huskies on real basketball, not with official intervention,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: with real basketball, straight up Yukon actually outscored Michigan. They
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: scored more baskets than Michigan did, all right, and so
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but Michigan had the whistle whistle, whistle whistle, and they
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: had that, and so the foul trouble wrecked the Yukon
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: rotation and any kind of rhythm that they had was
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: knocked out, although they really didn't have much. Neither team
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: had much rhythm at all. It was just a horrific,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: horrific game in terms of that. And he said, well,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: it's good defense. Was it really good defense or just
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: horrific offense? But the whole thing was a buzzkill, right,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: The whole thing was an absolute buzzkill. And you're asking
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a team shooting thirty percent to overcome the officials who
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: were clearly leaning towards Michigan for whatever reason. And so
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: there you go. It wasn't just the Michigan Wolverines. It
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: was the sixth, seventh, and eighth man which happened to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: have the zebra thing on there.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And that was that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Now, As for me, Chagan, the champions of college basketball,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a team that will live in the annals of Wolverine Basketball.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Y Axel Lendenborg, the crown jewel, the crown jewel of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the Wolverines transfer portal class for the ages. As these
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: guys came in, got checks, and they produced, and they
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: won and all that. He was asked after the game.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You saw the postgame coverage there about being well, he
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't as specifically about being mercenaries. He was asked in channel.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: He brought this up on his own, as Lindenburgh brought
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this up on his own. He was asked how this
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Michigan team is going to be remembered, and he said, quote,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: they might still be calling us mercenaries, but were the
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: heart is playing team in college basketball.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: We're the best team.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: You know what that means, best team in college basketball,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and we want to be one of the greats. Ever
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I think he meant greatest, but he said greats. All right,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: So question the star the Jewel, and I actually like
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: this guy.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: He's a good quote, and we need more guys like that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Like he said at halftime that he was just terrible,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: and he was and normally guys don't admit that, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I thought that was great. And so he just didn't
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: play well in this game. And I tip of the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: old headphones that he did say that. As far as
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this particular quote, we're parsing the words here. The actually
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Lendenbergh defending the mercenary label. I still might colls mercenaries,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but the hardest playing team all that stuff. So is
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Michigan the champions of college basketball, the biggest beneficiary of
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the nil or the biggest abuser of the name image
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: likeness in college basketball? So the answer is not. It
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is not that they're the biggest beneficiary. It is not
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: that they're the biggest abuser. The answer is see.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: All of the above.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: That's my answer, all right, See, and that is the
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: point of whatever this is now. I know President Trump's
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: trying to change it, and we'll see if that actually works.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: They'll supposed to be some legal battles to prevent some
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: of those things from happening. We'll see how that plays.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Out politically, but for now, this is what we have right.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: So this is the system that's in place in college basketball.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Just like Indiana just brought in a bunch of players
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and they won in college football, Michigan brought in a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: bunch of players and they won in basketball.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: This is how you play the game. This is how
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: it is done here.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: And so as they say at foot locker, if the
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: shoe fits, you should probably buy it. If the shoe fits,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you should probably buy. And this isn't a loophole. This
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is the business model under Dusty made. The Wolverines did
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: not accidentally trip into the portal and land six transfers. No,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this is not some kind of klinkie dink that took place.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And every man, woman and child knows it. That is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a shopping spree at the super mall, the nil super mall.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: They got the platinum credit card and they went out
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and they went for it. Lindenberg, their top player, imported
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: from UAB. Every key player, every single key player that
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: got it done. A seventy five percent of the points
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: score in the championship game came from players who were
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: at other schools, started at other schools around college basketball.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: So it's like mall go on Amazon Prime, same.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Day delivery and no development, no loyalty needed.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: And all that. Just your welcome.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: And so the critics yelling mercenaries, mercenaries, all mercenaries.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: And all that. Yeah, no kidding, thank you very much,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: Captain a.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: VI.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: That is the modern Division one men's basketball and football model.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Everyone is a hired gun, every single one of these
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: guys who's any good and Michigan just better at getting
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it done. So that's how you have to do it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And it's I would say, a good thing. Anybody that's
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: got eight to twelve million, that's what these teams are.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: The payrolls at eight to twelve million, that's what's going
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to cost you. And Duke had a bigger payroll. They
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: didn't get it done, but eight to twelve million. So
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and so are the wolver reasons abusing the nil No,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're still saying student athlete, you're a dinosaur,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: is what you are, right? It's free agency with mid terms,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: it's all that. And so the Michigan's not abusing the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: nil thing at all.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: Only I do you think the rules?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Using the rules properly is somehow cheating? If you believe that,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: then okay, that's fine, But Michigan break the system. They
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: understood the system and they went out. They used and
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: we'll use them out the mount Seventy five percent of
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the players were in the portal. They got one hundred
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: percent of that was intentional. And there are zero apologies
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: given they're not in this case. They're not the villains.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: They're not.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: This is the modern form of college basketball. This is
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: a manifest destiny. And like I said, anybody who's got
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the money, you should you hire the right coach. You
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: spend eight to twelve million. You got shot to win
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a whole championship.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Whoever you are like the anti eaters of uc er, fine,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: if they had twelve million dollars in the right coach
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: could go out and win the championship.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: If your program isn't doing this, you're already behind. So
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it is all right now, last word to the victor,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: goes the rumor. As the confetti has fallen. It is
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: not cold yet. The confetti it has fallen down from
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: the there and the vultures. If you look up, the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: vultures are circling overhead. We are already hearing rumblings, the rumble,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and the tummy that me Schaghan. Head coach Dusty May,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I believe he's only been there two years, is expected
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to receive NBA interest as the offseason gets going here
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for many teams, once there's only a few days to
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: go in the regular season of the NBA, then the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: playoffs will take place, which will go on for like
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: seven months, and then they'll have the silly season in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the NBA. The chatter is that Dusty May will not
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: will not go to any college job. However, he's not
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: shutting the door to the pros. That's a different story.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: So the question our NBA teams genuinely intrigued by Michigan
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: coach Dusty May or is this the old classic agent
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: plant smoke? So Michigan has to pay more more money
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and pay a premium to give Dusty May an extra
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: extra large check to keep him around. So this is not,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I believe fairy dust. After a minute long Mallard investigation,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Dusty May put the transfer portal avengers together and now
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the NBA's they're out there. Those executives are sending those
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: two am flirty texts, Hey big fella, you up like
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: You know, hey, what are you doing? You know that thing?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So that's how they go in the NBA is circling
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: like the vultures over the rotting carcass of an animal
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: out there in the serengetti, and they're like, hey, wait
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a minute. You know you go those teams like Orlando
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and the Wizards and the you know these some of
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: these other suck bag teams Memphis and hey, we're gonna
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: have a top five pick of the NBA tram lottery,
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: and we need a new coach in New Orleans. All
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: these terrible jobs, and there is a apply chain shortage
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of coaches the same cycle every year. It's paint by numbers,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: paint by numbers, hot coach in this case, transfer portal
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Maestro and Boom goes to the Dynamite, next big thing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And so Dusty May is holding the golden hammer. And
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I would be shocked if Dan Hurley gets some more
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: calls from the NBA also, But this is about Dusty May,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the coach of me Chegan. So he's he's got leverage
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: literally coming out of his nose and his ears and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: his eyes.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: It's oozing out the leverage out of his nostrils, his
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: ears and his eyeballs. It's it's wild and Dusty may Is.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: He's at a fork in the road, like does he
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: get He's obviously gonna get a raised at Michigan.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: That's a given. That's how that works.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: He's gonna get a raise, must be nice. They don't
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: most companies don't give those out. They're too cheap. But
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get a raised and so and otherwise he's
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: he could get that or go to the NBA and
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: follow the Muppets and be Gonzo Gonzo the Muppet, Bye bye.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: So the plot thick as we keep an eye on
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: this story in the coming days.

• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Subscribe, hit that thumbs up icon and comment away. So
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: our lead this hour, we keep the beat going. College basketball.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Michigan has won the championship, but it's not about Michigan. No, no, no,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: some other news, some other news. Who's in the college
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: game If you did not see it because you were
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: not paying attention. We go to Chapel Hill where North Carolina,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: an old blue blood North Carolina, believe it or not,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: they've decided to hire a coach.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: Shocking.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Did you think they were gonna go without a coach? No,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: we all thought they'd hire a coach. So we've learned
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the tar Hills intend. They haven't signed the deal yet,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: but they intend to hire longtime NBA coach Michael Malone. Yes,
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: that Michael Malone, who hoisted the championship for the Denver
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Nuggets couple years back, and now Michael Malone, after doing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: some bad television, we'll be back in the saddle again,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: but not in the NBA. Malone will be the new
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: head coach at North Carolina. He's got the championship win,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: over five hundred games in pro bouncy ball, twelve seasons,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: twelve seasons as a head coach, bouncing around the association,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and now he heads just adjacent to Tobacco Go Road
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: where Spaccoli can give him a place to stay until
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: he finds a home there and he returns to the
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: college game.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: So it's a good jumping off point.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss and the question what is the word?
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: What is the word for Michael Malone leaving the comforts
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of the NBA, the creature comforts of the NBA, to
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: go to North Carolina. So my observations, I have Steve Carell,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Brand Ambassador and show Time Rotisserie, and we will combine
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're going to go vroom,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: vroom is what we're going to do. So number I said,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: number number one.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: All right, my word is cocka doodle do? Is my word?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Cocka doodle do?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: That is my word. This is life imitating art. Michael
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Malone going to North Carolina. It's the college basketball version
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: of I believe it's on HBO that show Rooster with
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Steve Carell.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm talking about. Any we've seeing that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Show, Michael Malone decides to shake off the monotony of
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: his life as being a boring talking head on the
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: boob Tube by taking a position as a coach at
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: a prestigious university in North Carolina, a el classico blue blood,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: following the footsteps of Dean Smith and Roy Williams and
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, James Worthy and all the other legends. And
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: while reluctant to take on the role, of course, he
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: is thrilled to be closer to his daughter, Hello Bridget
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: who plays volleyball. We are told for the Tar Hills,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: so much like the Rooster TV show, you had a
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: daughter there, although this kid's still in school on the
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: TV show. I guess the daughter's all grown up. But anyway,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the same thing I should make for a compelling HBO
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: documentary and if not HBO Netflix docu series. Now page two,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: lot of buzz about what does this all mean?
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: The meaning of life through sport? The meaning of life
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: through sports?
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So I bring this up and the question from thirty
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: thousand feet in the sky, what letter grade get out
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the Mallard score card? What letter grade do you give
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Michael Malone's hiring by North Carolina?
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Now keep in mind.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: That nobody, nobody at Michael Malone even interested in the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: North Carolina job.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: This was completely off the radar.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: So let me ask a simple question here, is this
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: a coaching hire by the tar Hills or some kind
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: of midlife adventure by Malone with the whistle like? It's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: very odd, it's an odd connection. So on the Malor
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: report car I'm gonna give this despite that being an
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: odd connection and no one connecting the dots, I'm going
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to give this a B plus. I'm gonna give this
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: a B plus.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Not bad. You're just not ahead of the class here.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: You're not that so.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Somewhere in between honor roll and needs parental help, some
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: kind of signature. I would have given this an A plus.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Michael Malone to North Carolina. However, going from the NBA
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: life and then going to college, it's kind of like saying,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm going to trade in the pineapple for
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the avocado. Now, sure they're both fruit, technically the avocados fruit.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Try making the same meal with pineapple and avocado. It's
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: very difficult. I do not believe North Carolina will be
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: able to have the joker play for them, which is problematic.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: So Malone now gets to deal with boosters who want
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: return on investment for their spending.
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: ROI need some of that. You've got the spreadsheets.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: You've got parents with delusions that they're teenagers are the
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: second coming here. You know, they've all got brand managers.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: They think they're seventeen year old son. These pageant moms
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: and dads think the kids the next Michael Jordan, Sure
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: they are. You got to be charming all that stuff.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: And so maybe he just maybe Malone enjoys Mi grane headaches.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's possible he enjoys my grand head So he figures
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that North Carolina's gonna have a big enough payroll that
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter you're to twelve to fifteen million dollars
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: payroll inflation. You're in good shape there. Someone, someone should
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: get him an endorsement deal, at least a brand ambassadorship,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: brand ambassador for pharmacy grade.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Ibut profit because he's gonna need a whole bunch of that.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: And we we do wonder how committed this is. It's
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: kind of like my theory TV people to get into radio.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: I've been doing radio my entire life, and they did
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: a little TV.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I wasn't good at it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: But when you do radio, it's much harder than television
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: because in TV you've got a bunch of people that
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: try to make you look good, and that doesn't.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Usually happen in radio.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So you're pretty much on your own there and you
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: don't have like seven eight people working on making you
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: look good, and you have to put the work in
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: or you're exposed and a lot and like in coaching,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: is Michael Malone really doing this because he wants to
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: do it. His daughter happens to be there, and it's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: like a good job. Michael Malone's a little older than
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: I am, I believe, and so if you're around my age,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the North Carolina job is one of the great jobs
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: out there. They haven't really been all that great for
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: a long time, but the idea of North Carolina, if
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you're of a certain age, is a big deal. So
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it does make you go hmmm, Like if things go
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: sideways allah, Bill Belichick on the football side, if things
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: go sideways there, Malone's got the escape patch. He can
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: go into the little escape thing, hit the button and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: then bye bye, And he's got this in his back
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: pocket and it's the hotel key card to escape you
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: put that in, you type the code in, you're gone.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Safety net installed, safety net installed, no assembly required, You're
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: good to go.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: And that's it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And so you can go back to the NBA, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: there's always some terrible team that's like, oh, we can
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: hire a guy that won a championship, let's hire him.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Hell, Doc Rivers keeps getting jobs. He hasn't been a
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: good coach ever.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: And there we are all right now, final point, as
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: they expect banners in Chapel Hill.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: We moved to the NFL.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: I thought this was interesting, as we have the calm
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: before the storm. The NFL Draft in a few weeks
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and this is the same weekend will be in since
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Cinnati the Cincinnati area for the Big Mallard Meet and greet,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the Ohio Malard Meet and Greet, which I guess will
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: be like Ohio Kentucky. We'll combine everything together there and so,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: but within reasonable driving distance we'll have a great time.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: So it's a few weeks away. And the Vikings, I
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: just read this. I don't if you saw this or now.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: So the Vikings have decided that they will not have
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: a permanent general manager in place to replace the legendary
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: quazy Adolpha mensa, the guy that was just drafting players
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: based on Pro Football focus. They will not be replacing
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: him before the draft. They won't even be looking. They
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: haven't even started their search. They claim to find a
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: general manager. Now, some people are like, oh my god,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: they're going to allow the interim GM to draft the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: players with input from coach Kevin O'Connell. So the question,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: should the min Minnesota fans. We have a lot of
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: people in Minnesota love this show. Should the Minnesota fan
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: be worried that the Vikings are going without a general
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: manager for the twenty twenty six NFL Draft? So on
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: this one, I am I'm shaking my head no, going
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: back and forth. My eyes are closed and I'm shaking
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: my head.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: No.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: And here's why. The uncomfortable truth that people do not
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: like to talk about, they don't even like to whisper
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: it is it doesn't matter. Oh my god, you can't
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: say that the general manager's so important.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: You can't say it doesn't matter. It used to matter.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: It used to matter back when scouting was trench warfare
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and mud tape and gut instinct and have a hunch,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: draft a bunch that's not how it works anymore. That's
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: not how any of this works anymore. Now it's the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: Ron Popeel showtime rotisserie, set it and forget it. That's
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: what this is about. The draft is an open book
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: test where everyone has the same cheet sheet. The measurables
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: are available. It's not like teams are working these guys
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: out individually to get different measurements. Everything's either done at
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: the combine or the Pro Day or a little bit
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: of both. And so that's how that goes. So you
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: think the Vikings are missing out again, Hell no they're not.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: They're not missing out here. Every team's got the same
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: pro football focused information which the former GM there quasi
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: a doolpha mensa used to apparently draft players, right, And
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: so that's that's it. And the analytics apartment they've got
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the data that looks like it's from NASA, a control
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: room at NASA. And so there is that. And for
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: many teams, the gentlemen, not all, I mean there are
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: There are obviously exceptions the rules, but for most teams,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the GM on draft weekend is a ceremonial position. It's
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: ceremonial position, a ribbon cutter. The real work whatever that
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: is has already been done. They've got the algorithms now,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: the scouts, the consensus boards, and it's the very top
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: the first round. We actually talked about this on the
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: mail Bag podcast on the fifth hour. We had a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: conversation about this. I forget how it came up in conversation.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: We were talking about the draft with Robbie who was
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: on with me, and we were yapping about that, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: I believe Robbie conceded that I won the take. He
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: thought I had a boomer take. But the NFL first
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a couple of picks of the draft's popularity contest. It's
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: got who's got the most sizzle, who's got the razzle dazzle,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: who can excite the base. It's like a political convention.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You got to excite the base. It's not the it's
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: not the top candidate. It's the one that excites the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: bass that gets the nomination. So the NFL draft is
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: much like that. Who's got the good story, who's got
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: the Cinderella story, Who's got this?
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: That's what that's about.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, And so the the work's all done and it's
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: consensus this, that and the other thing. And so when
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: you get to the draft. It's like a self driving tesla.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: And I've been told by many people around the NFL
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: that the first like four or five rounds is great
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: because everything's programmed. And then the sixth and seventh round
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: players actively don't want to be drafted. They would rather
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: just pick the team. You get to the sixth and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: seventh round the draft, then players are like the agents are.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Like, no, no, don't draft our guy.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: We don't want we want to go here, we don't
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: want to go there, and so they make they make
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: a big deal about that. It's a self again, self
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: driving tesla. You just keep your hands on the you know,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: kind of near the wheel, pay somewhat attention, and make
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: it look like you're paying attention, you're not just futsing
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: around your phone and all that stuff.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: And that's it. And the interim guy pushes the button.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell again comes in there and nods, he approves,
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you know, he gives the old nod there and the
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: wink and all that and boom, just next name up
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: on your draft board. No different than half the league.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: So again, it's one of those things we were romanticize.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of romanticizing the general manager and oh,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: what a great thing this is for the draft and
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. It's it's not like it's not like
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: it was where you would have guys go out and
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: scout everything and have one on one you'd find diamonds
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: in the rough. You look at the legend of Jerry
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Rice and you know, as a million years ago. I
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: know it's a million years ago, but players like that,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and there are players that slipped through the cracks, but
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: for the most part, they're far and few between.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: And that's the way that goes.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And so you know, the GM is not the draft whisper,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: not anymore, not anymore. And it's just kind of an
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: assembly line. It's everything set up and it's down the
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: line you go. So Minnesota, they're just working the conveyor
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: belt like everyone else, everyone else, And it was a
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: big deal to have a GM, they'd hire a GM.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: It's comesy not a big deal to have a GM.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: They've had a GM in Minnesota and they've had some
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: terrible drafts, so better off.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Not having one.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

  Speaker 2: Third degree, this is one big fan gets rail got.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: Steelers' cornerback Joey Porter Junior made a recent podcast appearance
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: where he laid out his case for being considered a
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: top five corner in the league. He also believes that
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: he it's unfairly criticized for committing too many penalties in
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: his second season. Ben is Joey Porter Junior not getting
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: the recognition he deserves.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: He's fine, and Steelers are a mediocre team, and he's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: a guy. His dad was a good player, so we
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: know who he is because of his dad and penalties.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: If you commit a lot of penalties, that kills your team.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: So I don't see the problem here. I feel like
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: he's properly the analysis is proper.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Next, recently retired Bucks linebacker Levonte David came to the
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: defense of Baker Mayfield in a recent interview where he
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: explained that Baker was dealing with a multitude of injuries
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: last season. Ben, you expect that he bounced back here
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: from Baker in the Bucks.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Now, Baker's a mid level quarterback and they don't have
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans now, and I know they've signed some other guys,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: I don't expect much from Baker.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: I think be an average NFL quarterback.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Next, Arizona made it to the Final Four for the
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: first time in twenty five years, but we're eliminated in
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: blowout fashion. On Saturday. After the game, coach Tommy Lloyd promised,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: the team is going to show back up and hopefully
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: do a little bit better. Ben.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Do you think they'll show back up?
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna spend eight to fifteen million or whatever
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: it is on nil.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: As long as you spend the money, they'll be fine. Yeah.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: How do we do pass? That is a bye? One?
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: I won the game by one.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I won.
