- 0:02Speaker 2: It's our numb birtwo, our number two, ready to go
- 0:08Speaker 2: on the Ben Maler Show podcast recorded live off terrestrial radio.
- 0:13Speaker 2: But you get to hear all the bad words that
- 0:15Speaker 2: others don't get to hear. So here in our number two.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Are you surprised that former NBA players are calling out
- 0:23Speaker 2: the longtime executive Pat Riley, saying that Miami should dump
- 0:28Speaker 2: Riley as the executive of basketball operations. Also, there's a
- 0:33Speaker 2: he said, he said situation. Golden State coach Steve Kerr
- 0:36Speaker 2: said that his star guard was exhausted, while Steph Curry
- 0:40Speaker 2: denied the accusation who's sadia on?
- 0:44Speaker 1: Who's being honest in that?
- 0:46Speaker 2: And comedian Tracy Morgan says that food poisoning led to
- 0:51Speaker 2: his wild ride on the vomit comment at mid court
- 0:55Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden during the Knickerbockers game. Do you
- 0:59Speaker 2: believe we'll talk about all that and more right now here?
- 1:04Speaker 2: It is our number two. The heat is definitely not on,
- 1:13Speaker 2: but it is on. What Welcome in the beginning of
- 1:19Speaker 2: yet another.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Hour of The Ben Maler Show.
- 1:21Speaker 2: We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as
- 1:27Speaker 2: we are the Captain's pick whatever that means. Coast to coast,
- 1:30Speaker 2: port of the motor and beyond on the mast and
- 1:34Speaker 2: refreshingly and heart stoppingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live

- 2:06Speaker 2: fan of the number ten thousand. So we settle into
- 2:09Speaker 2: our number two in our lead from pro Bouncy Ball.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I am not going to give you Clipper propaganda. I
- 2:14Speaker 2: will not do that. I will just tell you the
- 2:15Speaker 2: Clippers beat supposedly the best team in the NBA, the
- 2:18Speaker 2: top team there, the Cadavers, and dominated the second half.
- 2:21Speaker 2: But our lead is from the losing locker room, which
- 2:24Speaker 2: is not Cleveland's locker room.
- 2:25Speaker 1: No, no, no, because they're good.
- 2:27Speaker 2: They're not gonna win the championship, but they got a
- 2:29Speaker 2: good team during the regular season. The story here is
- 2:32Speaker 2: in South Florida, where the heat is definitely off, but
- 2:36Speaker 2: yet the heat is on at the same time. So
- 2:38Speaker 2: it has been a wicked bad season for the pro
- 2:41Speaker 2: bouncy ball team that lives and brees and enjoys the
- 2:47Speaker 2: tropical weather of South Florida. There is a dark cloud,
- 2:51Speaker 2: an ominous dark cloud, hovering over the franchise AA absolute
- 2:55Speaker 2: dreadful stretch before Jimmy Butler was traded, and it's gotten
- 3:00Speaker 2: even worse. This sinkhole has opened up to Dante's inferno
- 3:09Speaker 2: ever since Jimmy Butler was traded to Golden State. In fact,
- 3:12Speaker 2: the eight straight losses. How bad has it gotten? Eight
- 3:15Speaker 2: straight losses if you're not paying attention. But even that
- 3:20Speaker 2: does not encompass what is really going on in Miami
- 3:24Speaker 2: because a number of people are convinced they know why
- 3:29Speaker 2: the Miami Heat are manure. And the reason the Miami
- 3:34Speaker 2: Heat and manure is because of one person, one personal
- 3:38Speaker 2: you know who that is, ding Ding Ding Ding, That's right, Ryles,
- 3:44Speaker 2: NBA legend. In fact, some people putting their name on it,
- 3:48Speaker 2: former NBA All Star. Granted it was a fluke season,
- 3:51Speaker 2: but Jeff Tigue, remember Jeff Tigue played for the Atlanta Hawks,
- 3:56Speaker 2: was on the Celtics for a while, bounced around Journeyman Garbine.
- 4:00Speaker 2: He didn't make an All Star team one time. So
- 4:01Speaker 2: Jeff Tig's got some podcasts. Because everyone's got a podcast,
- 4:03Speaker 2: no one's listened to him. Jeff Tigue has had an
- 4:07Speaker 2: appearance on a Podjeast. I don't even know what podcast
- 4:09Speaker 2: it was. I couldn't name it. There's so many of them.
- 4:13Speaker 2: So anyway, Jeff Teague said that the Heat have to
- 4:16Speaker 2: get rid of pat Riley.
- 4:19Speaker 1: They have to get rid of pat Riley, was the quote.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Of course this got blown up and it's tossed into
- 4:24Speaker 2: the echo chambers like, oh, this guy actually played in
- 4:26Speaker 2: the NBA, so he's got some more credibility in somebody,
- 4:29Speaker 2: some other Schmeddrick who didn't play in the NBA. So
- 4:31Speaker 2: let us discuss the question, are you surprised at all
- 4:36Speaker 2: of the heat that is on pat Riley and now
- 4:40Speaker 2: an NBA former NBA player calling for the Miami Heat
- 4:44Speaker 2: to dump pat Riley. So I've got Batman, Sorcerer's Workshop,
- 4:52Speaker 2: and Skunk and we will combine all of these things
- 4:56Speaker 2: together and we are going to make a del This
- 5:00Speaker 2: is just my tie, which pat Riley can have sitting
- 5:03Speaker 2: on the beach and maybe kind of sit in that
- 5:06Speaker 2: hammock and just kind of look at the palm trees
- 5:08Speaker 2: and look at the jet skis out there in the
- 5:10Speaker 2: water and just contemplate everything. So my first thought, num burr,
- 5:20Speaker 2: Let's try that again, numb bur one more time. Number,
- 5:25Speaker 2: work out the kinks, theirs, and now we got it.
- 5:27Speaker 2: We got it ready to go. So we would be surprised.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Answer the question, are we are we surprised that the
- 5:33Speaker 2: Rids getting heated? No, we would actually be surprised if
- 5:36Speaker 2: pat Riley were to be let go unless Riley wakes
- 5:41Speaker 2: up and says, I just can't do it anymore. I've
- 5:43Speaker 2: lost my way. It's not going to be a case
- 5:46Speaker 2: where ownership says we gotta.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Get rid of Riley.
- 5:48Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna get rid of him when he sucks,
- 5:50Speaker 2: and that's not gonna happen. I mean, uh, the fact
- 5:55Speaker 2: that they're serving up poop sandwiches three or four nights
- 5:57Speaker 2: a week in Miami is surprising and Riley this what happens.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Riley is considered because of his age and he's been
- 6:03Speaker 2: around forever, that he's an aging relic of the NBA.
- 6:07Speaker 2: He coached the Showtime Lakers for God's sakes in the
- 6:10Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, and it's been a minute, you know, it's
- 6:14Speaker 2: been a minute since then. And when you've been around
- 6:17Speaker 2: that long and you're not given the benefit of the doubt,
- 6:20Speaker 2: it's just the rule of thumb. You're not giving the
- 6:22Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt. The first sign of leakage, and
- 6:27Speaker 2: there is a dog pile, an absolute dogpile, and you're
- 6:32Speaker 2: not It's not acceptable to have a stinker.
- 6:34Speaker 1: It's what I'm trying to say.
- 6:36Speaker 2: It's not acceptable for you to have a stinker when
- 6:38Speaker 2: you're pat right, he's a gray beard.
- 6:40Speaker 1: And that's the way it goes.
- 6:40Speaker 2: And pat Riley literally and figuratively made the Miami Heat
- 6:45Speaker 2: a relevant franchise when he left New York and eventually made.
- 6:49Speaker 1: His way to Miami. The Heat were a laughing stock
- 6:53Speaker 1: prior to Riley arriving.
- 6:55Speaker 2: And that was a long time ago, and there have
- 6:57Speaker 2: been many coaches that have come through there, including Riley
- 6:59Speaker 2: himself who coached that team. But things have been declining.
- 7:05Speaker 2: There's no way to spin it any other way.
- 7:09Speaker 1: This season. It's just terrible.
- 7:13Speaker 2: And this is a bad vibration from the moment they
- 7:15Speaker 2: showed up there, and so you're gonna.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Get all the Hey, you're an old fogie and you
- 7:21Speaker 1: don't know what you're doing.
- 7:22Speaker 2: But it's one of those things when you look at
- 7:25Speaker 2: what pat Riley's accomplished in Miami and they're not having
- 7:28Speaker 2: a good year at all, they blow Both those things
- 7:32Speaker 2: are true, right, So Riley's been a legend.
- 7:34Speaker 1: The team's no good right now.
- 7:36Speaker 2: But is this a long term situation or is this
- 7:39Speaker 2: a short term situation? And it blurs the lines between
- 7:45Speaker 2: fact and fiction?
- 7:46Speaker 3: Right?
- 7:46Speaker 2: Is it locked in stone? Is it written in stone
- 7:50Speaker 2: that this is the way the heater going to be
- 7:52Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future. I always thought like Miami is
- 7:56Speaker 2: one of those places you're just one off season move away,
- 8:00Speaker 2: because you can get almost anybody you want, because almost
- 8:03Speaker 2: everybody wants to live in Miami if you're playing in
- 8:06Speaker 2: the NBA.
- 8:07Speaker 1: So you don't really have to worry. It's not like
- 8:09Speaker 1: you're sitting there.
- 8:09Speaker 2: In Indianapolis or Milwaukee where guys are not dying to
- 8:14Speaker 2: go play there, no matter how much money you throw
- 8:16Speaker 2: at them. They just don't want to go there.
- 8:18Speaker 1: But Riley is the epitome of the quote from The
- 8:21Speaker 1: Dark Knight, the Batman movie. There where you either.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Die a hero or if you live long enough, you
- 8:30Speaker 2: become a villain. So for some he's become a villain.
- 8:35Speaker 2: See what the heat doing the off season, there'll be
- 8:38Speaker 2: the usual round of gossip that who's.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Likely to be traded? Big name players that will be moved.
- 8:45Speaker 2: This subject, well, anything's an option with If the Dallas
- 8:48Speaker 2: Mavericks didn't even trade Luca, they just gave him away.
- 8:51Speaker 2: And it's conceivable that the Milwaukee box or somebody said, oh, ill,
- 8:54Speaker 2: just give you Giannis. You know we want you to
- 8:57Speaker 2: have Giannis here. You go knock yourself out. You never
- 9:00Speaker 2: underestimate that in that business. If the Dallas Mavericks just
- 9:03Speaker 2: decided to give away their top franchise player for a
- 9:06Speaker 2: bag of beans, then why couldn't that happen again?
- 9:09Speaker 1: Right now?
- 9:10Speaker 2: Page two to the Bay Area where Steph Curry getting
- 9:15Speaker 2: called out by something they didn't play in the game
- 9:19Speaker 2: on Tuesday night. That was a game that the team
- 9:23Speaker 2: from Northern California won the Warriors without Stephan Curry in
- 9:28Speaker 2: the lineup. He did not play and the Warriors went
- 9:31Speaker 2: out and beat the Bucks on Tuesday. How embarrassing is
- 9:34Speaker 2: that for Damian Lillard and the aforementioned Giannis a Denta
- 9:37Speaker 2: Cuombo and so the Dubs they won that game. Congratulations
- 9:42Speaker 2: on that, But that's not the story. So there's conflicting
- 9:44Speaker 2: reports here on Steph Curry. Now what are the conflicting reports?
- 9:48Speaker 2: He had Golden State coach Steve Kerr, who had said
- 9:51Speaker 2: recently that his star guard was quote exhausted exhaustion for
- 9:58Speaker 2: Steph Curry. Now, Steph Curry denied that accusation from his coach.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So you've got to he said, he said, situation. You
- 10:07Speaker 2: got Steve Kerr said, oh man, he's tired Steph Curry,
- 10:12Speaker 2: And then you've got Curry said, that's not true. People
- 10:16Speaker 2: just trying to figure out what's wrong. I didn't play
- 10:18Speaker 2: well the other night against Denver, an embarrassing loss for
- 10:21Speaker 2: the Warriors. So to answer that, he said, he said,
- 10:24Speaker 2: situation the arrow on this one on who we believe.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Is Steph Curry.
- 10:32Speaker 2: I Pat When we talked about Pat Riley and what
- 10:36Speaker 2: he did in Miami, and well, Pat Riley spent a
- 10:39Speaker 2: lot of time not protecting Jimmy Butler, Right, there were
- 10:43Speaker 2: stories leaked about Jimmy Butler. To me, well, Steve curR
- 10:46Speaker 2: is doing the opposite of what Pat Riley did because
- 10:50Speaker 2: he's protecting Steph Curry. He is circling the wagons around
- 10:54Speaker 2: Steph Curry, and Steve Kerr is in the sorcerer's workshop
- 11:00Speaker 2: cooking up a spell. It's got like dungeons and dragons.
- 11:03Speaker 2: He's got a ring of protection around Steph Curry. But
- 11:07Speaker 2: it is beyond a reasonable doubt that Steph Curry is
- 11:12Speaker 2: at the point in his career where this becomes the
- 11:14Speaker 2: new normal, that even though the coach is running the spin.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Cycle for Steph Curry, Curry is thirty seven. The common
- 11:25Speaker 1: denominator on.
- 11:26Speaker 2: Athletes when they get to their late thirty mid to
- 11:28Speaker 2: late thirties is extreme peaks and valleys, your big nights
- 11:34Speaker 2: where you look like you used to look, and.
- 11:35Speaker 1: Then you have nights where you're terrible, and you have
- 11:38Speaker 1: games where you score six or eight or ten points
- 11:41Speaker 1: and you're barely there. If you want to see what
- 11:43Speaker 1: that's like, look at.
- 11:44Speaker 2: Paul George by George in Philadelphia, a pretty similar situation
- 11:51Speaker 2: right now. Final point, we heading out of Manhattan. A
- 11:54Speaker 2: Mallor Show follow up, A Malor Show follow up to
- 11:59Speaker 2: the bar I've heard round the basketball world. Comedian Tracy Morgan,
- 12:04Speaker 2: who rode the vomit comment one of the great barfs.
- 12:09Speaker 1: I've ever seen in my life.
- 12:11Speaker 2: There's photographic evidence to show you exactly what happened. So
- 12:14Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan now has said that food poisoning led to
- 12:20Speaker 2: his ride in the first class seat on the vomit
- 12:23Speaker 2: comet during the Knickerbockers game the other night with the
- 12:27Speaker 2: Miami heat. So do you believe that was the only
- 12:30Speaker 2: thing going on there? So, after minutes long Mallard deliberation, no,
- 12:38Speaker 2: I think what we're getting here from Tracy Morgan is
- 12:43Speaker 2: a piecemeal explanation.
- 12:45Speaker 1: It's a piecemeal explanation.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Or go.
- 12:48Speaker 2: It's part of the story, but it's not the Wolstar.
- 12:52Speaker 2: It is more likely than not that yet Tracy Morgan
- 12:55Speaker 2: ate something that incahoots with something else set off the
- 13:00Speaker 2: nuclear bomb. You know how you combine certain foods together
- 13:04Speaker 2: and you have issues.
- 13:05Speaker 1: Now, I'm not sure what he was eating. We don't know.
- 13:07Speaker 1: I not there.
- 13:09Speaker 2: With him, But as far as I know, there were
- 13:11Speaker 2: no mass reports of food poisoning at the next game,
- 13:15Speaker 2: So it's conceivable that he ate maybe before.
- 13:18Speaker 1: The game, but he was spotted eating at the next game, sitting.
- 13:22Speaker 2: There in the front with all the other celebrities, and
- 13:25Speaker 2: it was Saint Patrick's Day, and there's people say, well,
- 13:28Speaker 2: he doesn't.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Drink, and maybe he doesn't drink. I don't know.
- 13:31Speaker 2: It might not be drinking. But more, I've had food poisoning.
- 13:36Speaker 2: I've had it multiple times in my life. I've never
- 13:39Speaker 2: once needed a wheelchair when I had food poisoning.
- 13:43Speaker 1: I have it.
- 13:44Speaker 2: There was a listener Lance, the bus driver from San
- 13:48Speaker 2: Francisco came down here and brought some food and got
- 13:52Speaker 2: me very sick. But I made it with my dysentery.
- 13:56Speaker 2: I made it to the bathroom and I never puked
- 14:02Speaker 2: where my nose started bleeding. That's like next level. Yeah.
- 14:09Speaker 2: But again, there was no other reports of anyone having
- 14:12Speaker 2: food poisoning from the food at Madison Square.
- 14:14Speaker 1: Guard didn't.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Tracy Morgan sue Walmart years ago, and I mean he
- 14:18Speaker 2: won some money. I remember that we talked about that story.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I vaguely remember that story. But this truly was the
- 14:24Speaker 2: skunk at the garden party, the vomit all over the
- 14:27Speaker 2: court there, and at least now, I.
- 14:30Speaker 1: Guess Tracy Morgan.
- 14:31Speaker 2: The positive is he can now do an infomercial for
- 14:33Speaker 2: the barf O Mattic he's now qualified to do the
- 14:36Speaker 2: infomercial for the barf O Mattic. All right is the

- 17:00Speaker 2: Miami fans need to leave pat Riley alone. Sure, his
- 17:03Speaker 2: decisions haven't brought a title lately, but neither has the
- 17:09Speaker 2: young Laker GM Lebron James.
- 17:12Speaker 1: Yeah, Lebron.
- 17:14Speaker 2: I'm surprised Lebron didn't get more crap for leaving the
- 17:18Speaker 2: Laker road trip last week because he needed to get treatment,
- 17:23Speaker 2: he said.
- 17:23Speaker 1: On his ankle.
- 17:25Speaker 2: And then while the Lakers were playing the Denver Nuggets
- 17:29Speaker 2: last Friday, Lebron flew to Sacramento to watch his kids
- 17:32Speaker 2: high school game. Was he getting treatment as he was
- 17:35Speaker 2: sitting there at the arena in sacrament I don't know.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I'm asking for a friend. Seemed like that did not
- 17:40Speaker 2: become a I's like this was.
- 17:41Speaker 1: A Friday night.
- 17:42Speaker 2: That's why it seemed like that would have been a
- 17:45Speaker 2: bigger deal. Yeah, but did not did not end up
- 17:49Speaker 2: that big a deal. What else do we have?
- 17:51Speaker 1: Page down here?
- 17:53Speaker 2: Shane in des Moines write, since says Nashville radio spoke
- 17:58Speaker 2: on how the Titans should paid the world for Sam
- 18:02Speaker 2: Darnold to be their quarterback and then trade the number
- 18:05Speaker 2: one pick. Now we are stuck with Sam's club at
- 18:09Speaker 2: quarterback in Seattle.
- 18:11Speaker 1: Well, no, you're only there for one year.
- 18:13Speaker 2: You got him for one year, one year, and then
- 18:16Speaker 2: you'll end up being mediocre and then Sam will go
- 18:19Speaker 2: somewhere else. Mister irrigation Riding in from Houston, he says,

- 23:12Speaker 1: Frog worried about.
- 23:13Speaker 2: Okay, see right, we said take down Oklahoma City. That's
- 23:15Speaker 2: what we're worried about.
- 23:16Speaker 7: That's exactly what we got.
- 23:18Speaker 1: To take down the former Clipper.
- 23:19Speaker 2: We hate to do it, but shake youngus Alexander ex Clipper,
- 23:22Speaker 2: who's gonna win the MVP Award.
- 23:24Speaker 1: We gotta beat him though.
- 23:25Speaker 8: That's who we got. The thing about it, he was
- 23:30Speaker 8: one of us.
- 23:31Speaker 2: Let me tell you though, that's that's Kawhi's fault though,
- 23:34Speaker 2: because he wanted Paul George bat job by him. But
- 23:37Speaker 2: koperus shaking his boots over. He's a Laker guy. My
- 23:39Speaker 2: producer is a Laker of apologist. He's getting nervous over there.
- 23:43Speaker 2: I can tell he's a little scared.
- 23:45Speaker 8: And when you see Kawhi in Kawhi form, they know
- 23:49Speaker 8: what time it is.
- 23:49Speaker 1: Well, what about Harden?
- 23:50Speaker 2: Though, James Harden has had a great awakening, The Beard
- 23:54Speaker 2: has awoken from slumber.
- 23:57Speaker 8: But see butnight tonight. I love tonight. What both Bunky
- 24:03Speaker 8: got he in and got his stuff going. He is
- 24:06Speaker 8: gonna be a key factor in our playoff run.
- 24:10Speaker 1: There you go. That's it.
- 24:12Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I don't know about that. He had a
- 24:14Speaker 2: good night, but he was so bad ad that I
- 24:16Speaker 2: still haven't forgiven him for that game. Was it against
- 24:18Speaker 2: the who is against the Pistons.
- 24:20Speaker 1: It's terrible.
- 24:22Speaker 7: You gotta remember he's.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I don't care about you. Gotta you know you're in
- 24:26Speaker 1: the NBA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he showed up.
- 24:29Speaker 2: All right, James, I got I got one more Clipper
- 24:32Speaker 2: porn stat. James Harden has scored twenty or more points
- 24:35Speaker 2: now in nine straight games. That is his longest streak
- 24:38Speaker 2: in over four years. So it's been over four years
- 24:42Speaker 2: since James Harden's played this well for this long and
- 24:45Speaker 2: he's doing it for the Clips. All right, thank you, Omar.
- 24:47Speaker 2: There's a Clipper Omar checking in hot Clipper talk. See
- 24:53Speaker 2: what team was James Harden on four years ago? And see,
- 24:56Speaker 2: I mean I guess he was in maybe Brooklyn? Yeah,
- 25:01Speaker 2: I think that was Brooklyn. He barely had any good
- 25:04Speaker 2: moments with with Houston. He was all right, and then
- 25:07Speaker 2: the last year he got fat. He was fat James
- 25:10Speaker 2: and that became a problem and that didn't go so well. Well,
- 25:14Speaker 2: when Penny pitching goes bad, I love this. Or baseball
- 25:18Speaker 2: season is underway. There's one more game today.
- 25:21Speaker 1: And then there's a pause. One more game.
- 25:24Speaker 2: So the Miami Marlins are supposedly a Major League Baseball team,
- 25:29Speaker 2: but not a good one. So the Marlins came up
- 25:32Speaker 2: with this for gazy idea. They said, you know what,
- 25:34Speaker 2: why don't we have a practice squad and well, you know,
- 25:39Speaker 2: we'll just fu's around with that.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Nobody else has one, but we're gonna have one.
- 25:43Speaker 2: So Major League Baseball found out about this, and it
- 25:47Speaker 2: violates the rules of baseball, and as a result, the
- 25:53Speaker 2: Marlins are in some trouble down. The Marlins are still
- 25:57Speaker 2: at last I heard, twenty million dollars under the luxury
- 26:01Speaker 2: tax payroll required by the agreement with the players union.
- 26:07Speaker 2: They're twenty million under where they need to be. And
- 26:11Speaker 2: so Major League Baseball contacted the Marlins about this practice
- 26:15Speaker 2: squad idea like they have in the NFL, because there
- 26:19Speaker 2: was an ad which was posted on a minor league
- 26:25Speaker 2: like LinkedIn page. Marlins Minor League operation staffers LinkedIn page
- 26:30Speaker 2: and it was being passed around on.
- 26:32Speaker 1: Social media over the weekend.
- 26:33Speaker 2: The ad offered non professional baseball players a chance to
- 26:38Speaker 2: play against the Marlins Low A affiliate for one hundred
- 26:44Speaker 2: and fifty dollars a day.
- 26:47Speaker 1: I am not making this up.
- 26:48Speaker 2: By this sounds like something that would be made up
- 26:50Speaker 2: in a movie from like the eighties of the nineties. No,
- 26:53Speaker 2: this is a legitimate Is this not crazy? Am I
- 26:57Speaker 2: the only one that fixes this?
- 26:58Speaker 1: Great? So the Marlins had this for gays.
- 27:00Speaker 2: The idea, they're like, all right, we're gonna put a
- 27:01Speaker 2: We're gonna put this group together, call it practice squad.
- 27:06Speaker 1: We'll pay these guys one hundred and fifty dollars a day.
- 27:10Speaker 2: It is a unfortunately a violation of the agreement between
- 27:14Speaker 2: ownership and the players covering the minor leagues. Minor league
- 27:18Speaker 2: players required to make a minimum salary of over twenty
- 27:23Speaker 2: six thousand dollars in the Low A level, And I
- 27:26Speaker 2: mean there's different numbers that come up, but uh, there's
- 27:30Speaker 2: nothing in there that's one hundred and fifty dollars a day.
- 27:33Speaker 2: And already I hear like a poverty levels when you're
- 27:39Speaker 2: playing in the minor league. So it turns out the
- 27:41Speaker 2: post has now been yes, deleted. It has been deleted
- 27:47Speaker 2: for the proposed practice squad.
- 27:49Speaker 1: And we'll see what comes of that.
- 27:51Speaker 2: There's supposedly going to be a big labor stoppage in
- 27:55Speaker 2: baseball next year. That will get through this year, and
- 27:57Speaker 2: then sometime in twenty twenty six, likely around spring training,
- 28:01Speaker 2: there'll be issues.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones. Ashton in Minnesota.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Well, I give the Marlins an a though for effort execution,
- 28:09Speaker 2: not so much. Ashton is in Minnesota. What's going on
- 28:11Speaker 2: in Ashton? Welcome?
- 28:14Speaker 5: Hey, how's it going?
- 28:14Speaker 6: Ben?

- 28:30Speaker 7: Yes, sir?
- 28:31Speaker 1: Outstanding? All right? Well, what's on your mind?
- 28:35Speaker 3: I had a question for you. So yesterday we had
- 28:38Speaker 3: a little situation and my mom had to pick us
- 28:42Speaker 3: up from work, and she doesn't like listening to talk radio.
- 28:46Speaker 3: She actually threatened us with violence if we turned on
- 28:49Speaker 3: the talk radio. So we weren't able to listen to
- 28:54Speaker 3: the trivia question last night, okay, and we were wondering
- 28:57Speaker 3: if we could get an extra trivia question to make
- 29:02Speaker 3: up for that.

- 36:07Speaker 1: Mary Mack? Tracy Morgan, Tracy Morgan vomiting all over the court?
- 36:11Speaker 1: Is it Tracy Morgan?
- 36:12Speaker 4: No?
- 36:13Speaker 2: The correct answer would be Wally World Lollis Herbiac for
- 36:18Speaker 2: Miami of Ohio the RedHawks.
- 36:23Speaker 1: Way back in nineteen ninety nine.
- 36:25Speaker 2: He scored forty three of the fifty nine points Miami
- 36:30Speaker 2: of Ohio beat the Washington Huskies in a first round
- 36:33Speaker 2: game in nineteen ninety nine. That is the biggest individual
- 36:36Speaker 2: offensive output by one player for a team in that time.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
- 36:42Speaker 5: It's smeller we go, degree, here we go. This is
- 36:47Speaker 5: one big f gets.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Grilled Coop dal Loup.
- 36:52Speaker 4: While many college football coaches are looking to end spring games,
- 36:55Speaker 4: Deon Sanders wants them to be more like NFL preseason games.
- 36:58Speaker 4: He wants to play against an actual opponent. And Ben,
- 37:01Speaker 4: could you see college football transitioning into that?
- 37:05Speaker 2: Well, I love the Dionz thinking outside the box. I
- 37:07Speaker 2: think it's great. And why not. Everyone's so paranoid in
- 37:11Speaker 2: college football. They're like, oh, we're gonna lose everyone. Deon's
- 37:14Speaker 2: the opposite of that. Deon's like, no, I want to
- 37:16Speaker 2: put this game on TV. I want to play another team.
- 37:19Speaker 8: Uh.
- 37:20Speaker 1: And it's great.
- 37:21Speaker 2: He's not afraid and a lot of these other coaches
- 37:25Speaker 2: are afraid of losing players to the portal and I
- 37:28Speaker 2: love the fact that Dion Sanders wants to make this
- 37:32Speaker 2: a bigger spectacle. He's a showman. He's into the you know,
- 37:35Speaker 2: the show business element of it. And if it does
- 37:38Speaker 2: happen to Colorado, obviously, if it goes okay and they
- 37:41Speaker 2: get decent ratings and it seems like there's some buzz
- 37:44Speaker 2: about it, yes, but Dion and Colorado, they're the guinea
- 37:48Speaker 2: pig in this all right.
- 37:49Speaker 4: Next, Anthony Davis has been given a G League assignment
- 37:53Speaker 4: as he prepares to return from injury. Congratulations, Ben, Do
- 37:56Speaker 4: you think Davis and the MAVs will be able to
- 37:57Speaker 4: hold off the other three teams still in the hunt
- 38:00Speaker 4: for a playing spot.
- 38:01Speaker 2: No, because Anthony Davis will come back and he's going
- 38:05Speaker 2: to go to the vending machine at the G League
- 38:07Speaker 2: locker room. He's going to buy a butterfinger. He's going
- 38:10Speaker 2: to eat the butterfinger. He's going to choke on the
- 38:13Speaker 2: butter finger and then need medical attention and miss another
- 38:17Speaker 2: month of the season. So no, the fact that he's
- 38:19Speaker 2: coming back doesn't mean anything. Because he comes back, he
- 38:21Speaker 2: gets hurt. That's what he does. That's just super power.
- 38:23Speaker 2: The guy gets hurt all the time. Now the Mavericks,
- 38:26Speaker 2: I don't buy. There's so much negativity around that team
- 38:32Speaker 2: and the players that complain about the fire Nico chance
- 38:35Speaker 2: and all that.
- 38:35Speaker 1: It would be stunny. I don't see that in the
- 38:37Speaker 1: Cards next.
- 38:38Speaker 4: Last season, the Milwaukee Brewers defined the odds and won
- 38:42Speaker 4: ninety three games to take the NL Central Crown for
- 38:44Speaker 4: a second year in a row. They'll have to defy
- 38:46Speaker 4: expectations again, as the Cubs are favored to win the division. Ben,
- 38:49Speaker 4: do you think the brew crewe can out play odds
- 38:51Speaker 4: makers expectations?
- 38:52Speaker 1: Well?
- 38:52Speaker 2: Right now, the Chicago Cubs, first of all, are on
- 38:54Speaker 2: pace till there's one hundred and sixty two games. Who
- 38:56Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw the game yesterday, but
- 38:58Speaker 2: the Cubs offense totally few tile against Dodger pitching. In fact,
- 39:01Speaker 2: they got it early, won nothing lead, but then they
- 39:04Speaker 2: did nothing after that. Now, let the Brewers have guys
- 39:06Speaker 2: you've never heard of. They remind me of the midwestern
- 39:08Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Race. There's guys you've never heard of, but
- 39:11Speaker 2: they're usually pretty productive. So I'm going yeah for the
- 39:14Speaker 2: brew Crew. I'm going yeah for the brew Crew. Why not?
- 39:17Speaker 2: What the aff the other teams in that division stink,
- 39:20Speaker 2: so I'll go yes, how do we do?
- 39:22Speaker 1: He passes.
- 39:22Speaker 5: That is a win.
- 39:25Speaker 1: I won.
- 39:26Speaker 7: I'm a winner.
