  Speaker 1: We'd like to learn all you feel us down line.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Not only is this a great night to roast like
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a pig at a luau traditional Hawaiian lua, the San
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Antonio spurs. What a gag. We'll have fun with that
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: all night. And also, as promised and was a great
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: idea by the late night drug tester, the World Cup
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: pick them now. The hopper is not in the studio
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: with me. The hoppers in the green room right now
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that we're gonna bring the hopper out, and we need
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: if our math is correct, we need to get four
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: rounds in each hour for this to work. There's forty
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: eight teams at this start of the World Cup, and
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: a bunch of these teams are not very good, and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: they suck and they'll be kicked out and all that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: But we'll do all forty eight. We'll explain more about
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that coming up in a little bit. Big night. I
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: mean really just we're globe trekkers here with the World Cup.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Pick them. It's just so freaking exciting. We are fired up, however,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: our lead, so don't bear the lead. My man, Oh
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: what a night now. As we often point out, and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: again got an email from a listener in the New
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: York area, New Jersey who was like, oh man, you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: must be fired up then to get in there and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: talk about the game. And I'm like, and my reaction
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is always the same to this, because we get paid this.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It's like, we don't get paid extra if the game's
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: good or if there's something that's like really amazing that happens,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we get paid the same. Where there's no gifts. We
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: did it during the pandemic, there were no games. We
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: were talking about marble racing and it was the same thing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Lead this hours from New York City, right above Penn
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Station that was the Hippodrome for game number four of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the NBA. That's right, the NBA Finals. Now Wemby and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: San Antonio trying to square the books up against Jalen
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Brunson and the Knicks. And were you watching? Perhaps not,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: maybe you were watching, you turned it off. Well, if
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you did, bad job by you. The Knickerbockers came back
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and back and back and all the way back, as
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: they had a record setting night down twenty nine points
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: on multiple occasions, and they are now on the brink
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of a civil unrest in New York when the lunatic
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Nick fans start celebrating there but the first Championships its
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three, is in the on deck circle as
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the Knicks rally back for a one oh seven to
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: one oh six win in a game that will be
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: remembered for long time until we all die, and then
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it will be forgotten. The game was decided by og Annobi,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: who was not blocked out by the San Antonio Spurs
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: who were caught napping. He ran all the way in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and Tippy mctip and the miss of Jalen Brunson's three
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: ball attempt with one point two seconds remaining, and that
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the kill shot as the Knicks get a three to
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: one lead now in the NBA Finals, that means they
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: have three chances not to f this up and win
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the championship. Jalen Brunson helping bring the Knicks back with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: thirty six points and og Nanobi had thirty three. Now,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the better story is in the losing locker room the Spurs,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: who somehow had a twenty nine point lead and looked
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like they'd win by seventy. They had a twenty seven
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: point halftime lead, they went up by twenty nine, a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: couple points in the third quarter, and it all went away.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: All went to hell right there. And that is a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: good jumping off point. So let us discuss. Now the question,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: which is rather obvious, is who gets the blame for
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Wemby's Spurs on a historical twenty nine point blown lead
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: in the NBA Finals. Holy crap on a cracker. So
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: my thoughts on this, I've got speakeasy Sergeant Pepper and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: leftover lasagna, and we're gonna put all of these things
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: together and we're going to choke on some Texas toast,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: which I think is what the Spurs did. So first
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: of all, welcome to CSI MSG. It says CSI MSG.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Doctor Mahler is in and we are now performing a
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: forensic pathology report. The autopsy on the corpse of the
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs didn't just blow a twenty
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: nine point NBA Finals lead, they donated it to charity.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's taxed to doctor book. Congratulations. Now, they were up
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: eighty one two with nine on the clock above the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Mecca in the third quarter, and that is about the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: point Mitch Johnson. Listen, Mitch Johnson became Professor Doom, teaching
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a disaster class as coach. Over the final twenty one
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: plus minutes, San Antonio fell like they were at the Alamo.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That didn't end well. People hear the Alamo. The ending
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: was not good for the people at the Alamo. Outscored
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: fifty five to twenty five from the nine to forty
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: mark of the third quarter to the end of the game.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And why well, they have an addiction prom addicted to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the three ball. Live by the three, Die by the three.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: The Spurs Biblical meltdown, which this was they messed with
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the basketball gods with all the moneyballs they kept shooting.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: The basketball gods giveth and the basketball gods taketh away.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: The Spurs offending the mojo of basketball. They shot a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: horrific two of fifteen and I'm just talking about the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: stretch where they blew the twenty nine point lead. So
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the rest of the game the numbers were different. But
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: two of fifteen from up twenty nine to losing by one,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: that's thirteen point three percent, my computer, like brain tells me.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And from downtown and they from the floor took thirty
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: five shots when they went up by twenty nine, they
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: only made six of them seventeen point one percent on
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: two pointers. Throw in eight turnovers and four assists, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you have the collapse combo meal that is fully complete
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and supersized there for san Antonio and I didn't play
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. I just don't think that's good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Oh, your mean malor your mean mailer. Why would you
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: say that, I mean, what would you think? You think
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: it's easy to shoot? Yeah, seventeen point one percent. They
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: shot seventeen point one percent for the four thirteen point
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: three percent from three point range to close out the
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: game up twenty nine to lose. Now, Mitch Johnson, who
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: should be fired at this point? I'd fire him right now.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: I'd fire him in the middle of the series.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: What are you doing?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? Anyway? Here's Mitch Johnson that plausibly
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: for now the coach of the Spurs trying to explain
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: how he just was on the sidelines for the single
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: greatest suck in the history of basketball. Take a listen. Yeah,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I mean at the.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Top of the list, just in terms of obviously the
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: circumstances and the stakes of what we're playing for, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: to put as much good work into that first half
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: as we did and get the lead that we had
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: and not finish a job as dressing to say the least.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: He also said that they needed tough minded plays. He
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: said they needed some tough minded plays. Now that part
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of it is coach speak for my guys turned into
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: jet puff marshmallows.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: In fact, just to prove I'm not making that up,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: here's the coach here, Mitch Johnson talking about tough minded plays. Listen.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, honestly was tough. He felt the momentum too
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: much to overcom I didn't feel that until the clock
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: hit Zeros. I mean there was times where again I
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: felt it was part of that third quarter, and then
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: some part probably early mid and the fourth quarter again
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: where we just we got away from playing the Brandon basketball,
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: got us the lead, and then you saw the times
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: aggressiveness and the just conviction that we played with early
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: on dissipated a little bit and they made some shots
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: and that's where you felt the momentum a little bit.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: We just needed a few more tough minded plays to
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: finish the job.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, that's him calling his team soft. That's the
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: coach calling his players soft, and he's not wrong. That
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: was Marshmallow soft. We talked about the fluffer nutter this week.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: That's a fluffer nutter for San Antonio. Now, Victor Wembanyama,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: this is on his resume. Wemby officially earned his pilot's license.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Congratulations Wenby, you are now qualified to fly the vomit
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: comet choking away the game. Now mentioned, all these numbers
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: are when the Spurs went up by twenty nine to me.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That's obviously the twenty point from at that point on
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Spurs up twenty nine to the end of the game,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Wenby took twelve shots. He made two of them, two
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of twelve in the final twenty one minutes plus and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he went zero of two from missed a couple of
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: big shots from the charity strap. And then you've got
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the fox oh Man making our radio network look bad.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Daron Fox. Once a Sacramento King, always a Sacramento King.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Foxy went one of seven from the floor with four
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: turnovers in that fateful stretch from nine to forty to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: go in the third quarter to the end of the game,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: including the bone headed play of the day. That's right,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the boneheaded play of the day, which will be discussed
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and analyzed and all that up one spurs up one
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: thirteen seconds left, and this is one of those you
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: make the call moments. Okay, so you're d'aron Fox. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: have options. You could dribble it out, force the Knicks
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to foul you play the foul game and they got
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: a foul you because the time's gonna run out. Or
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you could call it time out and reset and run
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and play that way. Well, Deanon Fox decided, I don't
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: want to dribble out and get fouled, and I want
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: to call a time out instead. I'm gonna choose option C.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to force a layup attempt against a shadow
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: defender og and Anobi who's draped all over me. And
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: what does Anonobe do? He goes mutambo as we used
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to stay back in the day and swats it away,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and that set up New York for what turned out
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to be the game winning possession. And again the basketball
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: gods giveth, the basketball gods taketh away. And now that said,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: it's not all bad news for Wemby, Foxy and Mitch,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: because these boys have earned the secret password to the
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: speakeasy at the Sports Suck Bar and they can now
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: have cocktails with other choke artists. For example, the Dirty Birds.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: I see Matt Ryan over there, Julio Jones, coach Dan
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Quinn at the speakeasy of Sports Suck. They're all in there.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Members of that Yankee team that blew it against the
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Red Sox and the American League Championship Series. Those guys
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: are in there as well, having a grand old time. Now. Secondly,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: on the New York side of things, here the question
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: how much credit do Jalen Brunson's knicks get for the comeback?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So on the malor big board, not a list. Terry
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and England on the big board, I'm giving them five percent.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: They didn't come back. I'm not going to call this
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: a comeback. They just waited for the Spurs to choke
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: on their own puke. And that's exactly what the Spurs did,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and yet the Knicks are getting I've seen some of
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the coaches are getting a media tongue bath. It is.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: This tongue bath is so deep, I think we need
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: to call in a lifeguard for safety reason. Now, listen,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Brunson and og An Andobi they played well, obviously down
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the stretch, and they combined to score thirty three of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the fifty five points in the twenty nine point comeback
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: from that point, and they show twelve of eighteen and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: that was obviously great. In fact, it's sixty six point
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: six percent, which is a sign of the devil, which
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: is who the Spurs are hanging out with. After that performance,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Bruntson and og look like the adults in the room,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: and the Spurs look like the kids in the back
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: of the room that eat glue. That's what they look like.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And so you give the Knicks a little bit of
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: credit for not throwing in the sponge, and so they
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: kept scratchy and clonging. I believe that's worth five percent. However,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the garage band started here, and it was Sergeant Pepper's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Lonely Hearts Club band. It is mathematically impossible, mathematically impossible
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to rally back from twenty nine points down against a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: smart basketball team, against a team that just plays fundamental basketball.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The way that you are able to come back from
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: twenty nine down, you can't do it without a little
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: help from my friends or in this case the Spurs
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: acting like the Beatles. They were accomplices. Most games are lost,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: they're not won. This is a textbook exam Paul As
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: we said that it's a disaster class, absolute disaster class
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: by the Knickerbockers. Now the final thought here, big picture,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: big picture. The Spurs are facing elimination. Things are not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: going well. Here's Victor Wembanyama on the state of the Spurs.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: What's going through my mind right now? I think he's
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: gonna go one of two ways, one of two ways
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: and a bad one and a good one. And I
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: know the bad one would be giving up. The good
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: one would be getting stronger through this, getting more together,
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: and I know this is what we're gonna do.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Want to bet on that question? Is this NBA Finals
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: in the fridge for Jalen Brunson and the Knicks up
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: three games to one. So I'm nodding my head, Yes,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: this is shocking up. There is no such thing as momentum,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: so it's not like the knicker. You just gotta have
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: all the momentum going into the next game. I saw something.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: I saw a sign that I'll get to in a second.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: But as Chicky Baby, this old you don't even know
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: this guy's are before you were alive. There was this
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: guy named chick Hern who broadcast the Laker games. Actually
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: liked him. I was around him a little bit back
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: in the day when I was a young lad, and
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: he would say, this series is in the refrigerator, the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: doors closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cool,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and the butter's getting hard in the jello's jigglin. This
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: thing appears to be vacuum sealed, time stamped, and shoved
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: behind the leftover lasagna that you had back in April.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: The body language, that's to me the tell for this
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: first big body language guy, Benny body language. I saw
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the surrender cobra. I saw the surrender cobra. That is
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: a universal sign. Universal hands atop the head, Pose all right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: hands atop the head. As you realize defeat is inevitable,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: and you put your hands above your head like that.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: The math ain't math in here. The only path for
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: san Antonio back involves twisted ankles, divine intervention, and some
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: kind of clerical error. And forget just the nuns that
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they have in San Antonio. If the Spurs want to
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: flip this, they need more than just holy water I'm
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: talking about. They should bring in a rabbi, a priest,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a shaman, voodoo dolls, bags of garlic, garlic bulbs, the
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: whole thing. San Antonio needs a total spiritual reboot to
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: ward off the bag Juju man. They they should call
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the Ghostbusters. Who you gonna call? Call the Ghostbusters.

  Speaker 1: Our lead this hour is not from New York, where
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers were given the gift Christmas. In June Hanukkah.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: In June, the Knicks down twenty nine points. They were
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: getting ready for their last rights in that game, and
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: then San Antonio said, let me just fus around start
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: shooting from three point shots, and they had the greatest
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: choke job in the history of basketball. What an accomplishment.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: And Wemby's gonna be wearing that for a long time, long, long, long, long,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: long time. However, I mentioned Kansas City. So Patrick Mahomes,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: who is the gold standard at quarterback in the NFL,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: he has made some headlines here. Did you hear what
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: happened to him? You did not. We learned that Mahomes
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: and the chief us have agreed to a reworked contract.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: We ties him to the team through twenty thirty three.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: The total value of said contract now five hundred and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: four million dollars, the first NFL contract to exceed half
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a billion dollars. Yeah, Mahomes gets two hundred and thirty
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: nine million in new money, allegedly adds two years on
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the previous deal. And so we can go through all
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the numbers if you want. That's pretty boring. Mahomes Starting
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty seven, Mahomes will average sixty four million
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: per year. Yeah, that's right my tax bracket, you know. Close.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: No it is not, apparently not. That'll be a new
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: NFL record starting in twenty twenty seven until somebody else
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: zooms past him. So that is a good jumping off point.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Let us discuss the question what message are the Chiefs
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: sending with this? Patrick Mahomes rework contract extension. So my thoughts,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I've got t mobile, battery powered flashlight, and Dino nuggets
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together. We're
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: gonna try to shnazz up the radio show, going to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: shnazz it up, and we'll give you a high five.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: So a this one is rather simple. Kansas City is
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: shooting off a text message to everyone else in the NFL,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and it reads, we ain't going anywhere, you bozos, and
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: not just Boso the district attorney, you bozos, for anyone
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: hoping for a downfall. The heartbeat is still there, that's
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: what this is. The Fat Lady has not sung yet,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the party's not over, and the Chiefs are already reloading
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: the confetti cannons, getting those ready. And so the rest
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: of the NFL, this franchise, the Chiefs are like, hey,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: we're cockroaches. We're the ultimate cockroaches, and we refuse to die.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: The dynasty's not over yet. They just took a little
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: break here. Mahomes is the NFL's tea mobile tower, full bars,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: full coverage, no outages with his contract, and he is
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the bedrock of Arrowhead for the Chiefs. And look, Mahomes
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: the foundation. Everything else is just it's interior decorating everything
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: else on the Chiefs. And Clark Hunt, the guy that
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: runs the team. There, he came out. He's been spreading
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the gospel. He's got knee pads on praising Mahomes generational talent,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: elite human being. And of course I always loved the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: elite human being. Like how does anyone know that anyway? Yeah,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: So it's kissing your ass, that's it. Why not I
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: get it. You get your ass, kiss both cheeks when
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you've been to five Super Bowls and won three championships,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: that's usually how that goes. Now, keeping the buzz going here,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So Swarycap doom and Gloomers, you know who you are
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the nerds in the back of the room, the salarycap truthers.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I am a salary cap truh. They're not. We disagree,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: but the salary cap dooman gloomers. Dooman gloomers are up
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: in arms saying that when the contract kicks in the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: contract increase, Mahomes will be making sixty four million annual
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: average value AAV sixty four million per year starting in
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. The question are the Chiefs now? According
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: to the salary cap dooman gloomers, the Chiefs are cooked
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: because of the increased money, and they will not have
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: enough money to fill out the roster properly. And so
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: even though they get Mahomes, they're not going to give
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: him enough players around on the roster. So he's cooked,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He's porked. So are the Chiefs cooked? Hell No, I
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: don't believe that. I don't believe that that money is
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: just the cost of doing business in the NFL. Now,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Brett Veach the GM in Kansas City, like every other
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: good team, he is playing a shell game with the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: salary cap, the payroll, chasing that financial that little p
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: under the walnutshell. For the third time in six years
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: futching around with the salary cap and so the Chiefs,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: if the math is right here, they have committed six
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: hundred and eighty nine million in new money to Mahomes
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: through twenty thirty three. If Mahomes is still the super
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: nova that he had been, then this is fine. It works,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: mazel tov, good for you. However, if Mahomes is now
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a battery powered flashlight, then that's a much different conversation
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: because this becomes a capitol Q quagmar. It's a big quagmire.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: And yet belief is undefeated. People believe that Mahomes is
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the top quarterback. However, lately, the legend is still elite,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: the commercials are still elite, the statuet is filing agrievance,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: and he has become in the last year and a
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: half the NFL screen merchant, the Sultan of Swing passes,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: relying on the short game, the helter skelter improv plays
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: while blaming many around the Chiefs, blaming the supporting cast
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and all that. The eyeball test says Mahomes has not
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: been quite as good recently, and the numbers back that up.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, despite a Super Bowl run, he
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: was average fifteenth rank quarterback in the NFL. Mahomes and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: this past year he was number twenty one on the
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Big Board of Quarterbacks, neck and neck with Justin Fields,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: who is now the backup at Arrowhead. Nevertheless, it is
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: a pure man who shot liberty valance situation when it
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: comes to Mahomes, when the legend becomes the fact, you
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: print the legend. The Chiefs have already made so much
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: money off Mahomes and all that, and so even if
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: they paid him a billion dollar, that would not cover
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the amount of money they've been able to take in
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: because of their success in this golden era of Chiefs football.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Now last word to Viva las Vegas, we go. The
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Raiders always carrying some excess baggage and good for headlines,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: not good for wins. Not good for wins. They're always
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: rowing upstream against the tide. I bring this up because
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, who I believe is thirty seven now and
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: signed with the Raiders, and he is now pushing back
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: on the very popular narrative that he was brought to
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Vegas solely to mentor for Nando Mendoza, the unpolished quarterback who,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: for some reason was taken number one over out of
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Indiana the Hoosiers. He's twenty two for Nando Mendoza. Cousins,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: when asked about all that, said, the labeling by the
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: media of him as Mendoza's mentor is quote a bit
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: of a reach and quote more of a narrative than
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it is the truth. Now, Cousins emphasized a collaborative dynamic
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: of working together. Well, isn't that special? So the question
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what is Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins implying by saying he
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: is not the mentor of rookie Fernando Mendoz. So this
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: is one of those things that comes up pretty much
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: every year where there's some young, hotshot quarterback that enters
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: the NFL and there's a more experienced quarterback ahead of them.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: The NFL and especially the media in the NFL, they're
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: all buddy buddy. They love to sell mentorship in the NFL.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It's like a Disney Like Disney selling magic, they love it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It's a scam, it's a myth. It's a bedtime story
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: for you gullible dopes. Kirk Cousins is not mentoring anybody.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: He's trying to keep Mendoza from stealing his parking spot
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: is what he's trying to do there. Now, it's already preordained.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: According to Clint Kubiak, the coach, you never have to
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: learn the name of the Raiders coach because they don't
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: last long. Clint Kubiak has indicated that Mendoza would ideally
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: sit and learn with a veteran such as Cousins or
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: go the Raiders. They are saying they want Cousins to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: be what a bridge. Cousins wants to be a drawbridge.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He wants to go up closed nobody's crossing. The drawbridge
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: is up, and so Mendoza can learn. If he learns
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: by osmosis, great, If not, he's gonna learn by watching
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins get sacked. The Raiders overdrafted a project to
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: be kind who let's just say, in the cooking world,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: the culinary world needs a lot of seasoning, and they
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: have paired Fernando Mendoza with a guy and Kirk Cousins,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: who doesn't want to share the salt or the pepper,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: wants to keep all the salt in the pepper. So
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Thiker Mendoza like a startup and Cousins is the legacy software.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: They do not integrate, not in a mean way. Cousins
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: doesn't have I don't think he has a mean bone
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in his body, which is part of the problem. They're
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: not going to be buddy buddy. They're not gonna be
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: enemies though, And so Cousins is not planning on feeding
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Mendoza Dino nuggets in the Raider quarterback room. He's not
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: even going to give him the Wi Fi password over
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: there in Henderson, Nevada. So if Cousins wants to mentor right,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: if that's what he wants in life, he'd retire and
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: go coach a high school team somewhere in Georgia and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: or Texas or wherever. Instead, Cousins will start the twenty
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: twenty six season. The Raiders open up the regular season
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: in September against the Miami football team, the Dolphins. Couple
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: of teams that used to matter, that don't matter. They're
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: a relevant they're laughing stock franchises, the Dolphins and the Raiders.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: And so while that's going on for Nando mendozao, we
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: anticipate will put on a fit bid or an Apple
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Watch and get ten thousand steps up and down on
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the sidelines. So that is how that is going to go.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of the Ben Maler
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, we go to the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: third degree. This is one big bet gets grilled all right?
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Cool? Well, Usually when players express their individual goals for
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: the season, they're pretty lofty. Not the case with Packers'
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: wide receiver Christian Watson. Although it might be lofty for him,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Watson says he's aiming for more than eleven hundred yards
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: and double digit touchdowns. Now, Ben, I know you said
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: that he doesn't deserve his contract extension, but do you
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: think he can hit these goals?
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Well, no, because something's going to go. Hey, why he
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: gets hurt all the time. To get those numbers, you
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: have to stay healthy. You're not going to get those
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: numbers who you play eight or nine games. And that's
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: just the reality of Watson. He has not been able
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: to stay healthy. That's the problem. When he's played, he's
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: been good, he hasn't been great. The Packers are betting
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: clearly that Christian Watson is going to take off the
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: training wheels and go to the next level. I see
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: no evidence that would indicate that he's going to be
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: able to make it through a season healthy, and so
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I'm going to know those are not realistic goals. To
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: get double digit touchdowns, you have to play in pretty
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: much every game because you're not going to usually get
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: more than one touchdown a game. Very rarely does that happen.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Next, Kyrie Irving is now being linked to four realistic
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: trade suitors in the Pistons, the Timberwolves, the Rockets, and
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: the Lakers. Ben, would you take a shot with Kyrie
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: if you were one of those teams?
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: Hell No.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: The idea of Kyrie Irving is great. The reality of
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving is he doesn't much like Christian Watson, he
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't play that much. There's always some kind of underlying
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: condition when Kyrie is on your team. It's been consistent
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: other than when he played with Lebron. Right outside of that,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I guess you can say, well, can join go join Lebron.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And he's getting older, which means Kyrie is going to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: get hurt even more based on the comparisons to other
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: athletes that have come before him. So uh, he'll he'll
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: get obviously get a job. I would not want Kyrie
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: on my team. I would not get excited, which means
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: he'll probably end up with the Clippers next.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Speaking of the Mavericks, it's also being reported that they
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: are targeting Joel Embiid. Would this be a mistake or
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: could a Flag Embid pairing make some noise?
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So there's a theme here, Coop, and the theme is
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: all of these guys are not all that available. And
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: so yeah, if Joel Embiid, if if you gave some
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: kind of health serum, some kind of some kind of
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: punch that he could drink and be healthy, all yeah, sure,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Joel and Bid would be wonderful, absolutely great. With Flag,
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that's not going to happen, So hell no, uh don't
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: want that combination. If I'm Dawis, how did we do? Coop?
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You pass?
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: This a show that is a wee.

  Speaker 4: All right, Ben, we are going to start off with
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: a question from JT the wingman.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: Hi JT, I've met him multiple times.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: He wants to know do you use a water pick flosser.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: I have used the water pick flosser. It typically breaks.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: It doesn't last that long, so I've I've got o
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: g I go back to just the regular flow. So
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I have used it. I'm not against it. It doesn't
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: the thing the machine. We've had a couple of them
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: over the years. They don't usually last that long. What
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: about you?
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: The rate it?
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I want I'm like you, I've used one. I
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: have one, but I don't I don't actively use it.
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: I prefer hand flossing. I have a little flaws sticks,
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: you know, one that has like a pointy side.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: And yes, oh I love yeah, yeah, I'm a I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: am an epic philosopher. When it comes to those little philosophers.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: I keep them in my bag.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: They're great, good to have. I love the clank, the
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: clankity clank. What about you, cool, I'm the same.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: We have a water pick. I have used it, before,
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: but I don't really use it. I use the little
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: individual ones too much. There's too much work. I mean,
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: it's just a convenience. It's just the regular flos.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: All right, what's next? What do we got here? It's
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: ask man? Your question is are answer? All right?
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: I love this question. This is from Alf the Alien opiner. Hi, Alf,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: sweet tarts or spree.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Uh? I'm a sweetheart guy, I'm a sweet target. What
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: about you, Lorena?
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: Oh that's really hard. I forget about spreees complete right,
• 32:07
  Speaker 8: but I really enjoyed the texture of sore you. I
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: think I'm gonna go with sprees right.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Fine, that's a bad job by you.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: What about you?
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Coop?
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: So I'm adding the caveat. If it's the chewy spreeze,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: absolutely like over sweethearts all day, every day. But if
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: it's the original spree like you have in your picture, Alf,
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: the hard spreeese, I'm gonna pick sweethearts. Yeah, I want
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: the chewy spreees. That's what I want to know.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: What's next? Alpha, were like a pickle tart? What is next?
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: What do we got?
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Donkey Sausage would like to know, Donkey, Donkey, I think
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: we've had this before. But we'll do it again. What
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: would the title of your memoir.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Be grumpy talk show host guy won't shut up or
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: something like that. I don't I haven't thought about that.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Verse is easy. What in the air everywhere?
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I guess fine.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Whatever.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: What about you, Lorena? You're gonna write a book about
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: your amazing life, all the adventures you've gone on, all
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the just keep going. Well, that's it. Yeah, she keep
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: going to the lights turn off and then game over.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: That's it, everything gets reset. What about you, Lorraina or
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Coop brother.
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say mine would be called no lies.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Oh, no lies, the claw. I thought you'd call it
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: the claw though.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: All uh. The next question is from the King Rory.
