Speaker 1: Here we go. Welcome, It's our number two, our number two.
0:06
Speaker 1: On this Monday big NBA trade, Desmond Bane has been
0:12
Speaker 1: traded for four unprotected first round picks, with Orlando getting
0:18
Speaker 1: the player, Memphis getting the picks. How do you categorize
0:21
Speaker 1: this trade? Also a lot of paranoia over the number
0:26
Speaker 1: of picks the Orlando Magic gave up to get Desmond Baine.
0:31
Speaker 1: Where do you fall on that? And what does this
0:34
Speaker 1: Desmond Bane trade mean for John Moran's future in Memphis?
0:41
Speaker 1: Like you kind of know what it means. We'll talk
0:43
Speaker 1: about that and more right now here. It is our
0:45
Speaker 1: number two, the bane of my existence. Welcome. In the
0:54
Speaker 1: beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
0:58
Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere, making life interesting as
1:05
Speaker 2: we talk fresh, very fresh, coast to coast, boarding the
1:09
Speaker 2: border and beyond on the vast and flavorfully powerful microphones
1:15
Speaker 2: of FSR.
1:16
Speaker 1: Am monating live from the room from the locker room
1:23
Speaker 1: to the living room from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
1:26
Speaker 1: as approved by the ostrich ant, who regularly sends in
1:32
Speaker 1: artwork and random photos from the DC area. This portion
1:36
Speaker 1: of the Ben Males showmate possible in part by our
1:38
Speaker 1: friends at TI Iraq for over forty years. That's I'm
1:42
Speaker 1: told that's a long time. TI Iraq has been helping
1:45
Speaker 1: customers find the right tires for how, what and where
1:48
Speaker 1: they drive, ship fast and free back by free road
1:51
Speaker 1: hazard protection, with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
1:56
Speaker 1: tireraq dot com. The way the tire buying show, it'd
2:00
Speaker 1: be so a lot of trach if you love chrisch Now.
2:03
Speaker 1: Before I really got going in radio, I did a
2:05
Speaker 1: gossip website at Sports Rumor website for many years and
2:09
Speaker 1: loved the rumor. Didn't always love the trade. I like
2:12
Speaker 1: the rumor. The trade's a little bit of a letdown
2:16
Speaker 1: because then the rumor's over. It's the trade and all that.
2:19
Speaker 1: But our lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball.
2:23
Speaker 1: The Pacers and Thunders chose not to play basketball. You know,
2:26
Speaker 1: these pussy willows in the NBA can't play with just
2:29
Speaker 1: one day between games, so they didn't play depend on Friday.
2:33
Speaker 1: Normally Sunday is a big TV night. They said, no,
2:36
Speaker 1: we'll wait till Monday night, and so they'll be playing
2:39
Speaker 1: later on on Monday. But to fill the void and
2:43
Speaker 1: we will get back to the Rafael devastrate, but to
2:45
Speaker 1: fill the void as Devs goes from the Red Sox
2:47
Speaker 1: to the Giants. But in basketball, everyone's talking about this
2:50
Speaker 1: a massive transactional And if you have not heard, the
2:55
Speaker 1: Orlando Magic have said, you know what, we really want Desmondan.
3:00
Speaker 1: We need Desmond Bane. We must have Desmond Bane. And
3:04
Speaker 1: Memphis said it's gonna cost you, and Orlando said how much?
3:09
Speaker 1: And then they said sure, why not? And so Orlando
3:14
Speaker 1: is getting getting Desmond Bane from Memphis for Kentavious Caldwell
3:20
Speaker 1: Pope roster spam that gets bounced around the NBA Cole
3:24
Speaker 1: Anthony and not one, not two, not three, but four
3:28
Speaker 1: four unprotected first round draft ficks that also part of
3:32
Speaker 1: the deal goes to Memphis. And then there's a pick
3:35
Speaker 1: swap and some other pick swaps and all that. So
3:37
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question for the esteem panel which
3:42
Speaker 1: you are part of. Desmond Bane traded for four unprotected
3:48
Speaker 1: first round draft ficks to Orlando for Orlando from Memphis.
3:53
Speaker 1: So how do you categorize the Memphis Orlando trade of
3:56
Speaker 1: Desmond Bane for a bunch of draft picks? So I've
3:58
Speaker 1: got Jimminy Crick, Grand Theft Auto and graffiti, and we'll
4:05
Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we're going to
4:08
Speaker 1: make the Gabba ghoul. We're gonna make the Gabba go.
4:11
Speaker 1: So number one, he said, Number one. The Magic are
4:18
Speaker 1: throwing caution to the wind, and I love it. I
4:23
Speaker 1: love it, I love it, I love it. They have
4:25
Speaker 1: no parachute. I'm pretty sure that there's no seatbelt, they
4:29
Speaker 1: don't have a safety net, there's no breaks, and just
4:32
Speaker 1: reckless abandon just old fashion. This is the player that
4:37
Speaker 1: we want. How much is it gonna cost? Okay, we
4:42
Speaker 1: want that player. They could have had anywhere. If you're
4:44
Speaker 1: willing to trade that many first round picks, you could
4:47
Speaker 1: have conceivably gotten just about anyone outside like the top
4:51
Speaker 1: fifteen players in the NBA. And it's like, okay, this
4:53
Speaker 1: is the guy they wanted. They looked around, they targeted,
4:56
Speaker 1: they put a bullseye on Desmond Bane and it's full
5:00
Speaker 1: Disney World Jimminy cricket. When you wish upon a star,
5:05
Speaker 1: or in this case, a second level player, but a
5:08
Speaker 1: good player, it makes no difference who you are. Even
5:11
Speaker 1: the Orlando Magic can make an app so anything your
5:14
Speaker 1: heart desires will come true. And in this case it's
5:17
Speaker 1: Desmond May nice player, nice ball player, occasionally shoots the
5:21
Speaker 1: light out lights out, pretty good defensive player as well.
5:24
Speaker 1: Desmond main And said to be a solid, rock solid
5:28
Speaker 1: teammate and all that. So the Magic are betting a
5:31
Speaker 1: lot that Desmond Bain will unlock new worlds if you will,
5:36
Speaker 1: that he'll reach a higher level and throwing all those
5:40
Speaker 1: unprotected draft picks out like there's a little fun sized
5:44
Speaker 1: snicker bars on Halloween. Just toss them out there. Again.
5:47
Speaker 1: I like it. I'm not involved, I have no skin
5:50
Speaker 1: in the game. I'm not a fan of either one
5:52
Speaker 1: of these teams. I'm just an outsider. But I love it.
5:55
Speaker 1: You know, no trust to process, jo slow and study
5:59
Speaker 1: wins the race. No, it's hey, this is a trade.
6:03
Speaker 1: Trades are quid pro quo. You got to give up
6:05
Speaker 1: something to get something, and so fine. Now the Malor
6:09
Speaker 1: report card, the Malar report card on the Desmond ban trade.
6:13
Speaker 1: The Orlando Magic get an a minus in a minus
6:18
Speaker 1: they get and the Grizzlies get the D. They get
6:21
Speaker 1: the D because they are announcing we are not even
6:25
Speaker 1: trying anymore. This is a trade announcing we are tanky mctank.
6:32
Speaker 1: The Memphis Grizzlies. Come for the barbecue, don't come from
6:35
Speaker 1: the basketball. Don't come for the basketball now, page two.
6:38
Speaker 1: So I've seen a lot and heard a lot of
6:40
Speaker 1: noise since this trade was announced, and it's like, how
6:43
Speaker 1: do you address the paranoia, I'll use the word paranoia.
6:46
Speaker 1: How do you address the paranoia from the number of
6:50
Speaker 1: people freaking out by all these draft picks that the
6:53
Speaker 1: Magic gave up to get Desmond Bank. You paid too much?
6:57
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Memphis is set up all crap. So
7:02
Speaker 1: I've always been annoyed by this. It's been something that's
7:04
Speaker 1: been a bit of a pet peeve over the years.
7:06
Speaker 1: And I will lay it on you if you're new
7:08
Speaker 1: to the show, if you've heard it before, just you know,
7:10
Speaker 1: sit back and have a drink. But my issue is
7:14
Speaker 1: the obsession which draft picks. Low information fans, dumb fans
7:21
Speaker 1: are convinced every one of those draft picks is going
7:23
Speaker 1: to be the next big thing, all right. Fans treat
7:26
Speaker 1: first round draft picks like they're playing Grand Theft Auto
7:30
Speaker 1: and it's a cheat code and they have it and
7:32
Speaker 1: they know how why did you get rid of Chico?
7:34
Speaker 1: You had a cheat code? You got to use the
7:35
Speaker 1: cheic code. You can't get rid of the cheeko, they say,
7:37
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert. Now we have
7:41
Speaker 1: seen a trend outside of the Luca deal, which was
7:45
Speaker 1: not a deal. I mean, it seems pretty obvious now
7:47
Speaker 1: based on these other trades that that was orchestrated by
7:50
Speaker 1: someone at the NBA or whether it's for TV or
7:52
Speaker 1: whatever reason, to just hand Luca to the Lakers. And
7:56
Speaker 1: this trade, if Desmond Baine is worth four unprotected first
8:00
Speaker 1: round draft picks and a couple of pick swaps and
8:04
Speaker 1: Luca is worth one first round pick and a broken down,
8:08
Speaker 1: washed up Anthony David, you gotta be joking, right, I mean,
8:13
Speaker 1: they've been hiding it. They're not even hiding it anyway,
8:17
Speaker 1: here's the deal, let's get down to it. The spoiler
8:20
Speaker 1: on this is that these picks in NBA circles do
8:25
Speaker 1: not have as much value. They just don't, right. Draft
8:28
Speaker 1: picks are a renewable asset. We have preached on that
8:32
Speaker 1: mountain top for many, many years. They're renewable and even
8:36
Speaker 1: if you give up a lot, eventually you'll be able
8:38
Speaker 1: to replace them because every year you get one, and
8:40
Speaker 1: if you trade four, you just got to be at
8:42
Speaker 1: least competitive for the next few years, and you can
8:44
Speaker 1: upgrade your ruster. There are different ways to do this.
8:48
Speaker 1: There are different ways to do this. And for those
8:51
Speaker 1: triggered by the mirror volume of the draft picks and
8:54
Speaker 1: all that stuff, what are the odds? A riddle me this, batman.
8:58
Speaker 1: What are the odds that any of the first round
9:00
Speaker 1: picks turn out to be a player, even as good
9:02
Speaker 1: as Desmond Bane? And you probably don't think Desmond ban
9:04
Speaker 1: is that good because you don't watch the Grizzlies and
9:06
Speaker 1: you don't really know basketball. Okay, he's not that great.
9:09
Speaker 1: What are the odds? What is it? Is it ten percent?
9:13
Speaker 1: Is it fifteen percent? I wouldn't say it's any more
9:17
Speaker 1: than fifteen percent, Probably less than that. Less than that
9:21
Speaker 1: one of those picks will turn out to be what
9:22
Speaker 1: Desmond Bain is. So you're gambling at this point in
9:25
Speaker 1: the NBA draft. You're gambling at betting on teenagers, a
9:30
Speaker 1: lot of them, like out of France or somewhere, and
9:32
Speaker 1: you're betting on them. Well, Bain is out there and
9:35
Speaker 1: he'll give you twenty points, likely more than that in
9:38
Speaker 1: Orlando because he'll be asked to do more than that.
9:41
Speaker 1: But twenty points, he'll defend the other team's top wing
9:44
Speaker 1: player and he's not going to cause a lot of drama,
9:48
Speaker 1: rama and all that. So what's wrong with that. It's
9:52
Speaker 1: the NBA's version of instead of building a car from
9:59
Speaker 1: just getting the parts and the Cardier's I'm gonna get
10:01
Speaker 1: a certified pre owned car. That's that's Desmond Maine. In
10:05
Speaker 1: this case, you certified, pretty good warranty figure for the
10:08
Speaker 1: next three or four years, he'll be fine. So you're
10:12
Speaker 1: getting a premium player, not a top ten or fifteen player,
10:15
Speaker 1: but a good, solid second line player, and that's what
10:18
Speaker 1: Orlando needed. Now, final point. Now we get down to
10:22
Speaker 1: the real interesting part of this is the meaning of
10:24
Speaker 1: it from thirty thousand feet in the sky. So what
10:27
Speaker 1: does this Desmond trade, Desmond Bain trade. What does this
10:31
Speaker 1: Desmond Bain trade mean for Ja Morant, Ja Morant and
10:37
Speaker 1: his future in Memphis. So we can strike up the
10:41
Speaker 1: band right now. Nada la da noa, Hey, goodbye, see
10:48
Speaker 1: you later. Yeah, he's on standby right now. Ja Morant
10:52
Speaker 1: is on stand by. The summer of transactions hasn't even
10:56
Speaker 1: gotten started. That begins after the NBA Finals and John
11:01
Speaker 1: Moran is on standby. If you can read the graffiti
11:04
Speaker 1: on the wall. Time to start packing. And for John Moran,
11:09
Speaker 1: he's got to pack up all his weapons, his finger gun,
11:11
Speaker 1: his imaginary grenades, his make believe torpedoes, got to pack
11:16
Speaker 1: all those up in his make believe suitcase. And you're gone.
11:19
Speaker 1: And look at the Grizzlies here. This trade, the Desmond
11:22
Speaker 1: Main trade, was an announcement. We are out of business
11:26
Speaker 1: in terms of trying to win. We're done. The barbecue
11:29
Speaker 1: is good, the basketball not so much. You've got a
11:33
Speaker 1: new coach who took over late in the season last
11:36
Speaker 1: year in Memphis. And that new coach, let's call it
11:40
Speaker 1: what it is here, is an entry level coach. You
11:43
Speaker 1: hired an entry level coach. You traded the number two
11:47
Speaker 1: player on the team, Desmond Bain, for some scratcher tickets.
11:51
Speaker 1: And they're not even good scratcher tickets. So you did that,
11:55
Speaker 1: and so who's next? Ja Moran? The logical move is Jomaran.
12:01
Speaker 1: He still has superstar value and when he's right, he's
12:05
Speaker 1: poetry in motion running around the court and all that stuff,
12:07
Speaker 1: and the catches and it's kind of a big catch,
12:10
Speaker 1: right everything no one's traded do is perfect. Everyone's got issues.
12:14
Speaker 1: So he's not on the court enough because he's always
12:18
Speaker 1: heard and if he's not heard, he's getting suspended for
12:21
Speaker 1: something stupid. And he's done it for years. And from
12:25
Speaker 1: what we've heard, the Grizzlies Decriaz. They they want to
12:30
Speaker 1: be the spitting image of Okay. See, this is a
12:34
Speaker 1: copycat move. That is what we're hearing here that Memphis
12:38
Speaker 1: is like, well, Oklahoma City's in the NBA Finals and
12:41
Speaker 1: they're the favorite to win the championship, and they did this.
12:43
Speaker 1: They traded all these guys away and they just got
12:45
Speaker 1: a bunch of draft picks, and we're going to copy them.
12:47
Speaker 1: We're in a similar market, Memphis and Oklahoma City, and
12:50
Speaker 1: why not. We're just one of these flyover teams. That's
12:53
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. And so we got four first
12:55
Speaker 1: round picks unprotected for Desmond Maine. We'll get another three
12:59
Speaker 1: or four first round pick for John Moran. We'll have
13:01
Speaker 1: like eight first round picks. We'll be set up and
13:04
Speaker 1: then we're gonna pick all the right players and we're
13:06
Speaker 1: going to be the new OKC period stop. And then
13:10
Speaker 1: they wake up and they realize the chances of getting
13:13
Speaker 1: the picks right, good luck. And also, let's not pretend
13:16
Speaker 1: like the key part of the OKAC Thunder is not
13:20
Speaker 1: a player they drafted, it's a player the Clippers drafted
13:24
Speaker 1: in SGA. That's the reason the thunder is so good.
13:27
Speaker 1: It's not the players they drafted, it's the MVP of
13:31
Speaker 1: the league is a guy the Clippers drafted. So they
13:33
Speaker 1: didn't even draft an MVP in OKC. They got him
13:38
Speaker 1: in a trade. But Memphis is trying to copy that
13:40
Speaker 1: blueprint and they're just gonna load up draft picks, put
13:43
Speaker 1: a blindfold on, and throw darts and whatever name comes up, boom,
13:48
Speaker 1: there you go. Meanwhile, John Moran, where's he gonna end up?
13:52
Speaker 1: Where's he going now? The early favorite I've heard is Miami,
13:55
Speaker 1: and Miami's trying to desperately get a headliner. And Tyler
13:59
Speaker 1: Hero is not that guy. You're not that guy, Poalp,
14:02
Speaker 1: You're not that guy. So John Morant Miami, that makes
14:05
Speaker 1: some sense, and he's like Philadelphia somewhere like that, the
14:09
Speaker 1: usual suspects outside of Miami, which is also a usual suspect.
14:14
Speaker 1: The argument is that John Moran is a change of
14:16
Speaker 1: scenery guy, although I don't know how if you're getting
14:19
Speaker 1: into trouble in Memphis. Wouldn't you get into more trouble
14:22
Speaker 1: than Miami? Isn't that a town built on trouble? Like
14:26
Speaker 1: if you're looking now? Of course, the argument is, if
14:28
Speaker 1: you're looking for trouble, you're gonna find it no matter
14:29
Speaker 1: where you are, right, Brett Farv had issues. Brett Farav
14:33
Speaker 1: had problems in uh, you know, Atlanta. They traded him
14:36
Speaker 1: to Green Bay. He still had some issues when he
14:39
Speaker 1: got to green Bay years ago. So maybe he'll grow up.
14:42
Speaker 1: John Morant, new coach, new city, some accountability. I wouldn't
14:47
Speaker 1: hold my breath right. Maybe is a weasel word. May
14:53
Speaker 1: be a weasel word, big weasel word, verbal equivalent of
14:57
Speaker 1: half hearted shrug, like I don't know, I don't know,
15:01
Speaker 1: say mate, so just a little bit of commitment, but
15:04
Speaker 1: not full commitment. You're dodging full responsibility and you have
15:09
Speaker 1: plausible deniability. It is the Bean Maler Show. If you'd
15:12
Speaker 1: like to be part, you can join us right now.
15:15

Speaker 1: seven or something for Brad Marshan, who they traded. He's
18:36
Speaker 1: a free agent. Maybe we'll go back to the Bruins.
18:39
Speaker 1: The captain of the Bruins there see, Shannon de Moyes
18:42
Speaker 1: says the Malamus is waiting on more Major League Baseball monologues.
18:47
Speaker 1: Chip and the Que says, hey, plus and the monologue.
18:49
Speaker 1: John Morant might someday grow up. Taylor Swift also might
18:53
Speaker 1: dump Travis Kelcey for me. But I'm not gonna hold
18:57
Speaker 1: my breath that either will ever happen. You might die. Uh,
19:02
Speaker 1: let's see here, Ozzie Wash says Hayes, having six beers
19:05
Speaker 1: a night, he needs to pump them up. Those are
19:08
Speaker 1: rookie numbers. Well, yeah, you're Australia dude, Ozzy was Come on,
19:13
Speaker 1: you can't compare the alcohol consumption of a hard working
19:17
Speaker 1: Australian to Hayes, who picks up dead bodies for a
19:22
Speaker 1: living and drives them around Minnesota. Okay, come on, let's
19:26
Speaker 1: go to the phones and let's say hello to who
19:28
Speaker 1: do we have? Let's say sailo to Tony, who's in
19:32
Speaker 1: so caw Hello Tony, welcome.
19:35
Speaker 4: Hey Ben Buster Posey really stuck it to the Dodgers.
19:39
Speaker 4: Like last week, the word got out the Dodgers were
19:41
Speaker 4: looking for left handed power. Maybe this was the guy
19:44
Speaker 4: that they were trying to do a deal and Buster
19:47
Speaker 4: got in front of him. Man. Really, you know, if
19:50
Speaker 4: the Dodgers had some pictures to trade, they could have
19:53
Speaker 4: done it. But they can't afford to trade pictures. All
19:56
Speaker 4: they got is Max Munsey and CONFORDO. And if they
19:59
Speaker 4: had kept Christade they can put him in the deal.
20:01
Speaker 4: But they don't even have any minor leaguers that are
20:04
Speaker 4: worth training. They got nothing, Well.
20:06
Speaker 1: They don't devs does. He can't play third base. He
20:08
Speaker 1: doesn't want to play third base, So why would the
20:11
Speaker 1: Dodgers trade for him as a DH just to have
20:13
Speaker 1: him as a DH. That wouldn't make any sense.
20:15
Speaker 4: Well, he when when when Otani pitches or when the
20:21
Speaker 4: day after? Maybe he wants to play third base?
20:24
Speaker 5: Right?
20:24
Speaker 1: Well, he did, and then then when they the Bregman
20:28
Speaker 1: got hurt. They so they said, well, maybe we'll moving
20:30
Speaker 1: back to third base. And he freaked out and I'm
20:32
Speaker 1: a DH, you said, I'm a D I'm a d
20:34
Speaker 1: h R. That's one of the reason they traded.
20:37
Speaker 4: The Dodgers were looking for left handed DH. They were saying,
20:39
Speaker 4: I think this buster. Posey found out about it and
20:42
Speaker 4: got yeh list.
20:44
Speaker 1: The Giants need, they need to start. But this guy's
20:47
Speaker 1: a star, like they don't have it. And you look
20:49
Speaker 1: at that team. They got a good record, but they're not.
20:51
Speaker 1: They don't have any stars.
20:52
Speaker 4: And the Giants are paying all the money. The Boston's
20:54
Speaker 4: paying no money, none of his salary. Giants are taking
20:56
Speaker 4: all of it.
20:57
Speaker 1: Well, they can afford it. They got they got money there.
20:59
Speaker 1: They can spend the money.
21:00
Speaker 4: The dev If the Dodgers don't make if the Dodgers
21:02
Speaker 4: don't win the division, They're in big trouble if they
21:04
Speaker 4: have to go wildcard run.
21:05
Speaker 1: No stop, listen, I mean half these guys are lingering
21:08
Speaker 1: on the injured list there with Blake Snell and Glass.
21:11
Speaker 1: Now what disasters those players are? What's what thiefs? Those
21:15
Speaker 1: two are? Blake Snell? We knew that guy. We said
21:18
Speaker 1: that guy, Blake Snell. Everyone that gets into a beef
21:21
Speaker 1: with me online, I got no beef with him in
21:23
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. What a loser, Blake Snell.
21:25
Speaker 4: The glassnow injury is really really suspicious.
21:28
Speaker 1: It's like he's been hurt the whole time since he
21:30
Speaker 1: got here. The guy's been hurt the whole time.
21:32
Speaker 4: It's like that guy that came over from what's his name,
21:35
Speaker 4: he went to Houston or whatever. It was, that guy
21:37
Speaker 4: which guy you talk the darger pitcher who didn't want
21:40
Speaker 4: to pitch in the game six? Remember was that guy?
21:42
Speaker 4: The big name guy?
21:44
Speaker 1: Oh oh you're talking about Jeff Sure, Max Shirley, Yeah, yeah,
21:47
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that guy.
21:48
Speaker 3: I've ever.
21:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't pitch. I can't. We need you in
21:53
Speaker 1: game six now I can't. I'll be available maybe in
21:55
Speaker 1: game seven. S throw you. There's no game seven. You
21:57
Speaker 1: lost game six to you loser.
21:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just he's just like him.
22:00
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, sures there is dead to me too. I
22:02
Speaker 1: hate guys like that, and NASCAR is.
22:03
Speaker 4: Like totally dead, is it? They're going to tear down
22:06
Speaker 4: the California Speedway they already did it.
22:09
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I remember when that opened. I was doing
22:11
Speaker 1: local radio at the time. They were so excited. They're like, man,
22:14
Speaker 1: NASCAR is going to take over La baby, and it
22:18
Speaker 1: never happened. I go, I thank you. Yeah, so it's
22:23
Speaker 1: NASCAR story.
22:23
Speaker 5: Now.
22:23
Speaker 1: I'm not a NASCAR guy, so I don't know much
22:25
Speaker 1: about this, but I saw this and it caught my attention.
22:28
Speaker 1: So the conspiracy theory is that NASCAR pulled an NBA.
22:34
Speaker 1: Now what do I mean by that? They were racing
22:36
Speaker 1: in Mexico City, and you want to take a guess
22:41
Speaker 1: who won the race in Mexico City. Yes, a Mexican
22:47
Speaker 1: driver won the race. So the theory is that NASCAR
22:51
Speaker 1: rigged the race. Now, there are ways, it's actually not
22:55
Speaker 1: that hard to rig a race. If you allow certain
22:56
Speaker 1: things in certain cars. Nobody be wrong. You should never
22:59
Speaker 1: do that. But people are pointing, asking, wait a minute,
23:02
Speaker 1: what's going on Daniel Suarez. This actually on Saturday, the
23:07
Speaker 1: Infinity Series, which is not the main the main event,
23:11
Speaker 1: but he won, and there were many that believe there
23:14
Speaker 1: was some funny business going on that the race outside
23:19
Speaker 1: of the United States. I believe that was the first
23:23
Speaker 1: points race outside. On Sunday, they had the first points
23:26
Speaker 1: race outside the US in sixty seven years, and so
23:28
Speaker 1: people were like, well, what's going on, Wait a minute,
23:31
Speaker 1: there's some rigging. I didn't watch it, so I don't
23:34
Speaker 1: know whether that was the case. Is this the first
23:36
Speaker 1: time a non American driver has won? Uh no, but
23:41
Speaker 1: in Mexico. It's just kind of a weird coincidence that
23:44
Speaker 1: a driver in Mexico and they're promoting trying to get
23:48
Speaker 1: people there to win, and people are like, well, what's
23:51
Speaker 1: going on Wait a minute here, and the race was
23:55
Speaker 1: was rigged, and yeah, listen, I like a good conspiration theory.
24:00
Speaker 1: I don't think it's impossible that something like that would happen.
24:05
Speaker 1: But you need a little more than just people randomly
24:07
Speaker 1: throwing it out saying that rigg You know, more than that.
24:10
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Bruce the Walker. This guy's up
24:14
Speaker 1: all night walking around his complex there in beautiful Santa
24:18
Speaker 1: Monica not going outside because there's hoodlums out there. Hello,
24:21
Speaker 1: Bruce the walker, Hold I was let me punch him up, Bruce,
24:27
Speaker 1: I think the line, see the line is not working
24:29
Speaker 1: on my end. I'm punching the button. I'm hitting the button.
24:31
Speaker 1: I have them up on my side. No, I know
24:33
Speaker 1: I punched the lineup.
24:34
Speaker 5: So can you hear me?
24:36
Speaker 3: There?
24:36
Speaker 1: You go? All right? Well, that's weird?
24:38
Speaker 5: How you doing?
24:39
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be taking a snooze.
24:42
Speaker 1: But no, no, I'm all right. What's up with you? Bruce?
24:45
Speaker 1: How many?
24:45
Speaker 5: Still I'm feeling I'm feeling fantastic. The air is fresh,
24:48
Speaker 5: it's warm out. I'm just I'm feeling great. The only
24:51
Speaker 5: thing is I got a new pair of runners in
24:53
Speaker 5: a new brand, and I don't think my feet are
24:56
Speaker 5: a bit sore.
24:57
Speaker 1: But we gotta break him in. As you know, when
24:58
Speaker 1: you get new shoes, you gotta break them and it
25:00
Speaker 1: takes a little time there. I need to get some
25:02
Speaker 1: new shoes too. My shoes are all messed up.
25:04
Speaker 5: Can we say brand names on the air or no?
25:06
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't care. Say whatever you want. Yes,
25:08
Speaker 1: you just can't say to buy.
25:09
Speaker 5: Them Okay, okay, I was wearing a new balance for
25:13
Speaker 5: like twenty years, but I tried on, you know, Roger Fetters.
25:16
Speaker 5: I'm wearing on right now, and they're not as good.
25:18
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna rip them. You're allowed to
25:20
Speaker 1: rip them. You don't have to. You can't sell people
25:22
Speaker 1: to buy them, but you can rip them, that's right.
25:24
Speaker 1: And how long you've been walking? Let's try to guess
25:26
Speaker 1: how many steps you've been at there, Bruce. What time
25:28
Speaker 1: did you start walking?
25:30
Speaker 5: About two hours ago?
25:31
Speaker 1: About two hours ago? All right, so about two hours ago.
25:35
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, you've told us your casual, your casual walker.
25:40
Speaker 5: So I'm carrying a phone. I can't even want I
25:44
Speaker 5: can't even yeah, I can't even sway the second arm.
25:47
Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, I think you're at six.
25:51
Speaker 1: I'll go six thousan one hundred steps. Anyone else I'm
25:54
Speaker 1: gonna go with thirty two hundred thirty two that's too low.
25:56
Speaker 1: What about you. I'm gonna go.
26:01
Speaker 5: Nine thousan around nine I just undertain you have really
26:06
Speaker 5: got three miles.
26:07
Speaker 1: Three miles hour mile and a half an hour.
26:11
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, three miles, and then it's about around nine
26:17
Speaker 5: thousand steps.
26:18
Speaker 1: Okay, but I got listen.
26:22
Speaker 5: I've been doing some reading ben around. You're familiar obviously
26:25
Speaker 5: with nil, right.
26:27
Speaker 1: Yes, I wish I could get some nil. I'd like
26:29
Speaker 1: to be able to me too. Anyway.
26:31
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've heard about this. Have you
26:33
Speaker 5: heard about the the house settlement between the n C
26:36
Speaker 5: Double A and and the two the two players that
26:41
Speaker 5: sued the n C Double A house and the Donum.
26:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is going to clear the way for salaries, right,
26:47
Speaker 1: I suppose this will clear the way for players a million.
26:50
Speaker 5: Every Division One team is allowed to spend twenty million
26:53
Speaker 5: paying players starting in September, and I just think a
26:56
Speaker 5: lot of people are gainst it. I think it's great
26:58
Speaker 5: because a lot of schools are in major conferences like
27:02
Speaker 5: I don't know, Illinois or Northwestern or Vanderbilt, who have
27:06
Speaker 5: never been able to compete with the big boys like
27:08
Speaker 5: Ohio State and Alabama. Now they got twenty million to
27:10
Speaker 5: pay players. I think it's gonna lead a better competition.
27:14
Speaker 1: Well, don't you have to come up with the money
27:15
Speaker 1: though they're they're not handing out there and not every
27:17
Speaker 1: school is getting twenty million. You have to come up
27:20
Speaker 1: on revenue.
27:20
Speaker 5: If you're in Illinois, you're getting Big ten TV money, if
27:23
Speaker 5: you're Vanderbilt you're getting scc TV money.
27:26
Speaker 1: Well well, as I understand it, though, this is just
27:29
Speaker 1: going to open up what we used to have where
27:31
Speaker 1: your limit you're cut off at twenty million, so the
27:34
Speaker 1: extra money will just be handed out in those Manila
27:37
Speaker 1: envelopes like they used to do. Like, yeah, you check
27:40
Speaker 1: into them, you can.
27:40
Speaker 5: Legally pay players.
27:41
Speaker 1: I think it's I know, well you can legally pay them,
27:44
Speaker 1: but there's a limit. So then if you know, teams
27:47
Speaker 1: are going to pay more than that, the teams that
27:48
Speaker 1: can afford it though.
27:49
Speaker 5: Well yeah, yeah, maybe, but I just think I think
27:53
Speaker 5: it's a good a good way to try to even
27:54
Speaker 5: out the competition because a lot of people don't think
27:58
Speaker 5: of the fact there are so many school the major
28:00
Speaker 5: conferences that never really ever get any good. You know,
28:04
Speaker 5: maybe once every ten years they have a decent season
28:06
Speaker 5: or something like a team like Vanderbilt or Illinois.
28:09
Speaker 1: Well now now that used to be the case, but
28:11
Speaker 1: now that'll never be the case now because if you
28:14
Speaker 1: with nil, if you have a good year, if you
28:17
Speaker 1: have a couple like upstart, like the mid major thing
28:19
Speaker 1: in college basketball. You have a couple of good players
28:22
Speaker 1: on a mid major team, you're gonna get poached by
28:25
Speaker 1: somebody else who can pay you more money. So you're
28:27
Speaker 1: gonna go somewhere else because you can get more cash.
28:29
Speaker 1: Why would you stay there at a mid major when
28:31
Speaker 1: you can go to a power school and get more cash.
28:35
Speaker 5: Because every school will be able to pay twenty million.
28:38
Speaker 1: Well, I understand, but I think we're having a like.
28:42
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, and in theory, if everyone
28:44
Speaker 1: honored the rules, you'd be right greating.
28:47
Speaker 5: I won't honor the rules. I see what you're And
28:50
Speaker 5: how about Nick shab and crying after n I I
28:53
Speaker 5: can't keep my players anything.
28:55
Speaker 1: All those balls guys retire like coach k is An
29:00
Speaker 1: all the one he got out. You know it's imagine me,
29:04
Speaker 1: Imagine me. I've been doing radio since before podcasting. Imagine
29:07
Speaker 1: like when podcasting came, I'm out. I can't handle people
29:09
Speaker 1: doing podcasts. Now. These jocks, these meathead jocks, are getting podcasts.
29:13
Speaker 1: You're getting millions of dollars. They sucked, right, and they're
29:16
Speaker 1: getting millions of dollars. So I'm done. I'm gonna quit
29:19
Speaker 1: radio because they're getting millions to do a crappy podcast
29:21
Speaker 1: no one's listening to.
29:22
Speaker 5: Why is Nick Shaban revered is the greatest coach when
29:24
Speaker 5: he's just a big cry babies like a little girl,
29:27
Speaker 5: And same with dab Well.
29:28
Speaker 1: I think the championships is why Nick Saban's called the
29:30
Speaker 1: greatest coach. He won a lot of championships, and so that's.
29:32
Speaker 5: Usually because because he told the brand name and he
29:36
Speaker 5: was able to have every player on his roster was
29:39
Speaker 5: better than all the backups.
29:41
Speaker 1: Well that's that's how you. Phil Jackson coached Michael Jordan
29:45
Speaker 1: and Scottie Pippen and Shaq and Kobe, and he's the
29:48
Speaker 1: great NBA championship coach. All right, I gotta go, thank you.
29:51
Speaker 1: Enjoy your walking. There's Bruce de Walker unless we come
29:54
Speaker 1: up with a better nickname. And uh again, I guess
29:57
Speaker 1: we had to reset the phones because I can't hang
29:58
Speaker 1: up on him. So I but there we go, right,
30:03
Speaker 1: very nice. Let's see here, Well, let's punch up Andrea.
30:07
Speaker 1: Let's see if that works here, you coop, you will
30:08
Speaker 1: have to do that. It's good to know the equipment.
30:11
Speaker 1: It's a national network, the number one sports radio network
30:13
Speaker 1: in the country, and the phones don't work. Hello Andrea
30:16
Speaker 1: in Berkeley, virgal and service. She's the astrology insider.
30:21
Speaker 6: Oh I like that, Hello Ben, how are you?
30:24
Speaker 1: If I was any better, I'd be a giant watch.
30:27
Speaker 1: I guess it would be. They got they made the
30:28
Speaker 1: big trade, the Giants. They got the player from the
30:31
Speaker 1: Red Sox Raffaeld Divers, big doings in the Bay Area.
30:35
Speaker 6: Yes, it's been a busy, nice for her, my sports astrology.
30:39
Speaker 6: I like that, the astrology insider. And yeah, you know,
30:44
Speaker 6: timing is everything. Devers is born October twenty four, nineteen
30:49
Speaker 6: ninety six, and he's twenty eight, and he's having his
30:52
Speaker 6: satur return, which is a cycle of endings and new
30:56
Speaker 6: beginnings and increased career responsibility. So it's really interesting. A
31:02
Speaker 6: lot of people get traded or move on during their
31:05
Speaker 6: satur return and make major life changes. And he's an
31:08
Speaker 6: intense scorpio, so you know, no strange of the transformation.
31:13
Speaker 6: And he's got this intensity and this determination and this focus,
31:18
Speaker 6: and you know, the Giants were kind of desperate for
31:21
Speaker 6: a good bat, so they got that. He's about a
31:24
Speaker 6: two eighty hitter and you know, well it remains to
31:29
Speaker 6: be seen. We're playing in the field. Obviously that's a
31:32
Speaker 6: boat of contention, but nonetheless it's kind of good timing.
31:37
Speaker 6: It was just interesting, like right before you know, the
31:40
Speaker 6: Giants pitcher was about to pitch, it was like, not
31:44
Speaker 6: so fast, you've been traded.
31:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah the game.
31:49
Speaker 5: You were at the game.
31:49
Speaker 1: I was at the Giants. Yeah yeah, but it's like
31:51
Speaker 1: it was like thirty minutes before the games. I got
31:54
Speaker 1: my phone started blowing up. Was like, yeah, there was
31:55
Speaker 1: a trade, and I was like, yeah, that's kind of weird,
31:58
Speaker 1: that's odd, know, I guess, you know, let's good for
32:01
Speaker 1: the guys on the Giants. I mean, the Giants didn't
32:03
Speaker 1: really give up anything of value. And then but those
32:04
Speaker 1: guys go to the Red Sox, and the Red Sox
32:06
Speaker 1: are you know, competitive team. They have the chance to
32:09
Speaker 1: make the playoffs.
32:10
Speaker 6: They've been playing better lately, right, I know, it's watching's
32:12
Speaker 6: fortinite New York. And they were glad that he was
32:15
Speaker 6: leaving the Red Sox because he would, you know, make
32:17
Speaker 6: the Yankees lose a lot of games. So you know,
32:20
Speaker 6: they just got swept by the Red Sox.
32:22
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, yeah, big surprise over the weekend though, Well,
32:25
Speaker 1: Red Soxs are gonna sweep the Yankees, right, the mighty
32:29
Speaker 1: New York Yankes. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
32:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, so they were like happy that he's leaving town.
32:35
Speaker 6: So it'll be interesting to see, you know, how that
32:37
Speaker 6: manifest for the Giants. But obviously they needed, you know,
32:41
Speaker 6: a good hitter.
32:42
Speaker 1: So well, it's always odd though, those guys that leave
32:44
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and have to go to a ballpark
32:46
Speaker 1: that's not a hitter's ballpark, and that's a big ballpark
32:50
Speaker 1: in San Francisco.
32:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that's a good point. So it'll be
32:53
Speaker 6: interesting to see how that manifests itself. But that was
32:57

Speaker 1: up once training camp opens up in July. It's the
38:40
Speaker 1: I call it the yo yo the guys that suck,
38:43
Speaker 1: and then the half the guys that suck say I
38:46
Speaker 1: need to get stronger, and then the other half the
38:49
Speaker 1: guys that suck, say I need to get lighter. And
38:51
Speaker 1: then what happens is if they play well, it's because
38:54
Speaker 1: they've got heavier, they got lighter, and if they suck,
38:57
Speaker 1: it's because they got too light or too heavy. So

Speaker 7: you think it's time for the Nats to move on
39:27
Speaker 7: from Martinez? Well, no, they're not really trying to win anyway.
39:31
Speaker 7: I tell that to my boss too. Why does the
