  Speaker 1: with the Lakers for now. How does this echo throughout
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the NBA and why did the Lakers send out a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: press release begging for a uniform sponsor. It's a bit
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: unbecoming for a team that always likes to talk about
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: how popular they are. Seems odd. We'll talk about that

• 4:07
  Speaker 1: begin anew this hour, and we start out with a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: developing story in the state of Wisconsin and involves a
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball player things getting cranked up with the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Greek freak. Did you see this? Non? Perhaps not so?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks. That's a basketball team, not a good one.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Bucks, who have found many opportunities to play
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: mediocre basketball. Shocking that didn't work out when they hired
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Doc Rivers as their coach or Doctor Rivers as Lorraina
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: calls them. So the Bucks, the story came about the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Bucks wanted to shut down Giannis adent to Cumbo. There's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: not that long to go in the NBA season, like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about a month or so to go in the NBA
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: regular season, and the Bucks are like, ixnay on the Yannise,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We're done, get out of here and just relax. We
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: want you out for the remainder of the season with
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: your latest injury. And the Bucks are not going to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs. The chances are slim and none, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Slim is on standby at the airport. However, here's the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: plot twist. So the Greek freak said, I am going
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to play. I refuse your request. I want to keep playing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point, a little
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: twister for you. So let us discuss the question. And
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Giannis at Denta Kumbo committee to continuing to play this season,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and he refuses the Bucks request to shut it down.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: What's the meaning that you're pulling from this one? What
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: meaning are you taking out of this? So my observations,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I've got stick shift, tarot cards and Clay Travis and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: we'll combine all of these things together and we are
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: going to preach to the choir is what we're gonna do.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: We're gonna preach to the choir. So Number I like
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to play the game who Leaked the Story? It's my
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: favorite parlor game to play who leaked the story? And
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we always ask two questions, who benefits and why now?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Who benefits from the leak and why now? And after
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: a minutes long Mallard investigation, Giannis Adenta Koombo checks both
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: boxes unless You're as dumb as a rock. I just
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: run the same wavelength here. Now he is painting the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Bucks like a franchise looking to flush away the final
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: few weeks of the regular season out of an abundance
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of caution. Of course, what about what about the people
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that bought tickets to watch the games and they want
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to see Yannis play and all that. Meanwhile, Yannis is
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: positioning himself as the I just want a hoop guy.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: He's the I just want a hoop guy. He grabbed
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the stick shift and he changed gears here into overdriveness
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: went overdrive, sending this story into the drama orama land.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Now this is campaigning, this is public pressure. This is
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: no more mister nice guy for GIANNISI dent to Coombo.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: This is a guy trying to force his way out
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of Milwaukee. He thought he was going to be traded
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: at the deadline. It didn't work out, and so now
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: he's continuing to try to get the message to these
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: dingbats in the front office with the Bucks, saying hey,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I want out of here. The timing, the word I
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: would use is surgical. Late in the season. It was
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on a day where there things were not that active
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: in the Sports World, so you get maximum attention. If
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: this happens when there's a lot going on, it doesn't
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: really get that much attention. But it is a perfect
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: timing and he's turning the screws, turning the screws right.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: You embarrassed the Bucks and everyone looks bad. It's it's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: leverage with an attitude, with attitude, and he's not playing along.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: That's the point. He's not playing along here because he
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to be there. And that's why, just like
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: in Vegas, remember late in the season, Max Crosby, he
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: wanted to keep playing, and the Raiders said about you,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: you're hurt, you can't play, and then Crosby sent a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: sizzle reel of him playing basketball like he was Steph
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Curry and like I'm fine, I can play. And so
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: that was Max's way of pushing the Raiders to trade him,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: which they did, and then the Ravens said, now we're
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna send that to Amazon return. We don't
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: want that Max Crosby. So it's a similar thing, obviously
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: different sport and all that, and it's the again, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: go back to the word drama, o rama, and it's
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: leverage and he's he's not playing along because he doesn't
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: want to be part of this. It's passive aggressive by Giannis.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: It's pressure all that stuff. You leak it, you embarrass
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the team, and you make things a little more uncomfortable.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: It's the workplace version. And this happens every once in
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a while. It always always pops up. You see it
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: on the interweb and somebody gets a tongue lashing and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: they go on and blast their boss on LinkedIn while
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: while cashing the paycheck. You know, like, hey, I love
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the game, I hate the situation. And that's a power
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: move by honest, is what that is. Now. Meanwhile, we
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: go to LA where Lakers center DeAndre Ayton made some
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: comments recently they caught my attention. He says he finally
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: realized that he's not that guy. You're not that guy, Pop,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy aate and said, quote, I just
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: started looking in the mirror and I said, yo, bro,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: you're not that guy. You don't need to be on
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: this team doing that at all. This team. You came
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: here to be the effort guy. All right, effort guy. Yeah,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: that's a I don't think of him as a glue guy.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: But there we are. So the question, DeAndre Ayton embracing
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: at least if you believe the quote, embracing a second
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: fiddle role with the Lakers, how does this echo throughout
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the NBA? So I'm pretty sure that the NBA, as
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: a collective, they did not blink. This echoed with a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: shrug and side. Right now, I don't laquer historians. Other
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: teams have fanboys, they have historians. They're eating this souff.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: He's matured. Lebron got to him, Luca got to him.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: He's evolved. DeAndre Ayton has evolved, evolved into what exactly
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: can you explain that to me? In one sentence a
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: guy who's finally finally read the job description, is that, Yeah, okay,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I'm skeptical. I am skeptical, and here's why. Two weeks ago,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I don't even think it was two weeks ago weeks,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: but I think it was less than two weeks. It
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: was I'm not Clint Capella, I'm not doing it. And
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, he's like he's essentially holding
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Capella's paw patrol lunchbox and said, can I shadow you?
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I'd like to learn from you. I thought you said
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: you didn't want to be me. Well, no, I'm not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that other guy, but I'm kind of like you. Now
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I have a malor theory. I have a theory. So
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton went to a fortune teller over on Sunset
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: and she shuffled the deck of tarot cards and she
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: pulled out the Hermit from the bottom of the deck,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: and the Hermit card the tarot card, the hermit means
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: soul searching, introspection, guidance, er go. Supporting actor. Yeah, supporting actor.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: So he went, in the span of about ten days
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: from wanting top billing to a tertiary role where he
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: fully embraces it. The third name in the credits behind
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Luca and Lebron background noise and also redneck Kobe, h'll
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Billy Kobe and all that, but it's all background. It
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: was like, we will believe it when we see it
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: for the long haul. This is like a kid cleaning
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: his room once and the parents calling a press conference
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and sending out a group text, Hey clean the room
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: all right. Way way to go, old habits die hard.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: You think DeAndre Ayton suddenly loves doing the dirty work,
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: setting screens and rebounding and that kind of stuff. This
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: guy was the number one overall pick. Okay, he's supposed
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to steamroll through teams and getting rebounds and setting screens
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and being that player. That's not who he is. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I will maintain there's only been a few games since
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: this has happened. Only been a few games. So I'm
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: gonna go out and limb here and say that by
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: the time we get to late April, when the playoffs
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: get going, and I can't say May or whatever Lakers like,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: they won't be in the playoffs by May, they'll be
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: one and done yet again. But that aside. Before you
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: know it, it's boom goes to dynamite, back to square one.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: He'll change his ways. He will not be happy. Something
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that will something will happen, and he will agonize over
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: it and the floodgates will open up. Now a final point,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: so we stay in La. The news came out the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Lakers are looking for a new patch for their uniforms.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: They want a new sponsor for their jersey. Now how
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: do we know this? How do we know they want
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: a new sponsor for their jerseys? Well, the Lakers announced
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: via a press release that they have ended their partnership
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: with that Korean food company. That was one hundred million
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: dollars Jersey Patch sponsorship that went back. It started in
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one and opening Bay bids, opening bids are
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: they're available. There's only a few games to go in
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: the regular season, but they're looking for the twenty twenty
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: six twenty twenty seven season, and so this is a
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: direct call to the public for global partners to step up.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So the question is this, why did the Lakers send
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: out a literal press release begging for a uniform sponsor.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that seem a little bitzarre to you? Like what
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: happened to the Purple and Gold Royalty, Like that we're
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: too cool for school energy. That pomp is west of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the four h five arrogant schmuck face energy that the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Lakers have. Because this is unbecoming. This like seeing a
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Beverly Hills socialite holding a cardboard side signed rather on
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: an offer ramp at the four oh five, like the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Lakers have always acted like the Rodeo Drive Royalty, Like
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: you know, their Rodeo, their Madison Avenue. Everyone should line
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: up blindfolded just to sniff their farts. That's how important
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: the Lakers are, just to ask them, they'll tell you.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: And yet here we are and it's like they're shaking
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the tip jar. They just want some change. So let
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: me decode this using the malar Rosetta stone. And as always,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you follow the money, money, money, ding ding ding ding ning. Yes,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the incoming new owners of the Lakers, the Guggenheim Group,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: from what I've heard, is it true? Is it true
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that they have jacked up the Asking prize like it's
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a Malibu beach front listing one that didn't burn down
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in Malibu during a housing bubble. They wanted King's ransom.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: The problem is the bidders are not there and that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: is why, that is why you had this news release
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: go out saying we have opened up global bidding for
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: our uniform Jersey patch. And they went like former Fox
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Sports radio morning guy Klay Travis, they outkicked their coverage,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: is what they did here. They priced it like Wago beef.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: The market said, no, no, that's not Wagoo beef, that's
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: mince meat. Well no, it says Wagoo beef on the label. No, no, no,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But you can't get anybody to pay for that. They
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: want to pay a mince meat price. So now you
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: leak and it wasn't even a leak. It's just a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: press release. You send it out to everybody hoping to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: spark some kind of bidding war. It's a late night infomercial.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Operators are standing by now and any way you slice it,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: any way you slice it. The Lakers misread the room,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: they did, and now the velvet rope has been replaced.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Say well, now they're just begging, hoping someone somewhere far away.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: But it will just open up the wallet and throw
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: some shekels at him and all that. And it's it's
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: gone from a velvet rope situation to a clearance rack situation.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would like
• 17:17

  Speaker 1: about the latest developments with Jannis at Entakoombo the NBA.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: More than anyone else has mastered the art of dragging
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: out these stories. And this will be the story of
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: the summer. Well the Bucks trade him? Will they not
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: trade him? What's going to happen? Developing? Blah blah blah
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. And I do love this latest wrinkle.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I do love the latest wrinkle where Yannis would not
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: play a long and most of these guys play along.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: How many players in the NBA are not actually hurt,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: are pretending to be hurt because the team's like, hey,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: we're tanking, we were not trying to win, and we
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: don't know. We don't want you to be out there
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: because you might actually play well and then we'll win,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and then that's a problem. So yeah, Ferg Dog rights,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: and he says, speaking a two time Benny Award winner,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Ferg Dog, he says, speaking of the nine oh two
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: one oh socialites you spoke of in the Mallard monologue,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: were you a big fan of the show Beverly Hills
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: nine O two one oh, he says, Rob the goat Man,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: and I are and proud of it. Uh yeah, So
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I in those days, I was going to games every night.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch too much of anything. So no, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: did run in. I believe it was Jason Priestley, that's
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: his name, big hockey fan, and I covered the La Kings,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: and he used to be at those games all the time,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: and he was like that while that show the show
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: was on. He's like a big star or like a
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: big deal and all that. And I did run in
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: him several times. Alf the alien O Piner wrights and says,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: why do you keep busting my balls about signing up
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: for the FSR Bracket Challenge? You know that I'd probably
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: get every pick right except for the finals, and to
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: lose by to some schmuck who gets every pick right
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: and is instantly a millionaire. That's about right, Alf, Yeah,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: you'll lose to Ferg Dog Ferg Doogg will have the
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: first ever perfect bracket, the first ever perfect bracket. Charlie
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: d not a fan of our former teammate here Klay
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Travis said, very braggadocious. Well, everyone's everyone's a talk show host.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Charlie's braggadocius and all that. I don't know Clay that well.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: I ran into a few times that he worked here.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: He did the show remotely from Nashville. We ran a
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: golf event together. They before the pandemic. They dragged us
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: all out to golf, none of us. Well, let me
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: check that. So the daytime host, this is very odd.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: The daytime hosts all were golfers, like Colin cow heard
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: guys like that they were golf. The nighttime host no idea, like,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: no clue, no clue what we were doing. And so
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I used to golf once a year and I go
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I would go to the driving range at some clubs.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: We got rid of them when one of them I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: moved a few times over the years, and one of
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the moves, I was like, well, I don't golf that much.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It's taking up space. We got rid of the clubs.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: And then I realized how much golf clubs go for
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: because I was gifted those golf clubs, so I didn't
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: buy them. Somebody gave them to me. So I was like,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: oh man, and then I went to buy. I was like,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the golf store and buy some
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: golf clubs because I want to go back to the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: driving range and take some frustration out. And I could
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: not believe how I had sticker shock how much golf.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I was like, I can't. I'm not gonna spend that
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: money to golf once a year. So then I was
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: trying to find golf clubs that were cheaper, like secondhand
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: golf clubs. The problem is I'm kind of on the
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: tall side, so I can't just get regular golf clubs,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: so those cost more even on the on the secondary market.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones, though, Johnny Here, Johnny in Boston,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: what's going on? Johnny? Welcome? A lot of mbia, lot,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of ambient noise. Yes, Johnny, where you driving?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: To you at work? Right now?
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Now? I'm driving to work. So remember I called a
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: few weeks ago about me and my seven kids.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, I do recall that. What's new, any new development?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: No?
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: I just wanted to ask your thoughts on Damn's eighty
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: three point game. What your thoughts were on that.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: I watched it. I turned it on at halftime because
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I saw how he had like forty something points at halftime,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: forty one. I think, yeah, yeah, I watched this. I
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: watched the second half and I wanted to puke in
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: my mouth. It was I know I did too, and
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and and the other thing. John I don't know if
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: you Johnny I mean the other thing is like I
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: love these people that are on you know, Saint Mountain
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: who are like you should not be ripping Bam out
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: of Bio for the eighty three point get. The game
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: was a joke. It was a climb. It was like
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: god Globe Trotter's Washington General's game, except they had the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: bullets out there.
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, I know, Oh that's why I asked you. I knew,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: I knew you would think the same way I thought.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: No, it was ridiculous, I mean it was it was
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I couldn't be in the in the heat. Like Eric Spolstra.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: We played the sound by rights Evergreen Drop. I apologize
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to absolutely no one, you know, and I don't apologize
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: for anything and all that, and it was like, well,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: it's just it just left a bad taste, like because
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: it wasn't legit it it really did. All right, now
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: look at that. That's not good talk radio. But we agree,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: we no, no, no, we do agree.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: And then one other things Tatam's comeback with the Celtics,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: like like what are your thoughts on that? And then
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: what the future is and then like I don't.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Know, it was just any yeah, you just you just scrammed.
• 25:50

• 26:08
  Speaker 1: What are you driving early? Okay, you're a good employee.
• 26:13

  Speaker 1: to get to the job earlier.
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: You know.

• 26:23
  Speaker 1: we don't know till the plant tatums. Look he's looked, Okay,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: is he the same tatum? Then the whole pecking order
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: thing will come up again. And I watched a little
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: bit of the Celtics game with the Warriors. The Wars
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: is so bad it's hard to get any kind of intel.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: I want to eat you.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: She does not cook. She she spends twenty dollars on
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a combo meal at a fast food restaurant, is what
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: she does. She I'm serious. She she got she got
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: up charged at a fast food restaurant. You want to
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: on the air, No, Loraine, you're gonna complain. I don't know, so,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and then what's the other the gobbol the gobba gool, Yeah,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: the Gobbagle that's where then, Yeah, my last name is Cooper,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: so you might be related to Cooper. All right, I
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: gotta go, john be saying I have a good day
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: at work, though, Johnny getting there early. All right, Lorena
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: does not make anything. I'm the one.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: Not true, but it is.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, how did I? How did I? I didn't cook
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: anything other than TV dinners for the first like thirty
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: five years of my life. And how do I like?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't I like I? I think I cook more
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: than anyone on the show. It's pretty wild. It's pretty crazy.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I'm cooking stuff every day.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I didn't have a lifestyle change financially.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It would help you out a lot. Right, it's expensive.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: It's just pricey, man.
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: I looked it up on my to see what like
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: my eat out take us. I eat fancy restaurant dinners too, right,
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: it's not just like fans fast food.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Anyways, my total was like nine and eighty dollars
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: for the month's but.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: One thousand dollars on food. Yeah, and you don't even
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: eat that much.
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: I know that's the worst part. Who probably ate seven
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: hundred of it?
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Wow? That is that's wow.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: One of the reasons that I started trying to cook
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: more is because I could not believe how I was
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: getting up charged when I would go out to eat,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: and I was like, this is ridiculous. This is not
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: that worth that much the food. I know, people have
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: to earn money because they make the food, they serve
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the food. I understand that, But then we have this
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: thing on YouTube where you could make copycat recipes for pretty.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: Much anything, right, like the super tiscana from Olive Garden.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta tell you. There's there's a taco place
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: over in Culver City I love. I went there. The
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: tacos were like two dollars per taco, crunchy taco place,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and I'm not going to promote them because they're ridiculous
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: how they're price gauging their piece the customers. The tacos
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: now are like six fifty seven dollars a talk and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: I figured out and I watched a bunch of a
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: bunch of videos on YouTube, and I was learning how
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: to like properly make this the ripoff version. And I've
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: got it. I've got it pretty pretty down on point there,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: pretty down down point there.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: I did go get my receipt out of the carbon.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so how much did the meal cost?
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: So the grilled chicken sandwich meal that she charged me
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: for was thirteen dollars and nineteen cents, and then she
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: added the PJ cheese for forty cents, the onion bacon
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: for two dollars and thirty cents, the pickle two dollars?
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Is that a dollar?
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Is that?
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Two slices of bacon?
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: Two slices of actually a dollars one piece sliced into
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: three pieces.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Wow, So one piece of bacon they charged you two
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: dollars for two dollars.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: And thirty cents. And then the pickled hull apinio is
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: another thirty cents.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: You can get a whole can of halapanos at the
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: store for like like a dollar, like a dollar. Maybe
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: that's why it's a ton of hall of faenias. I'm
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: tearing it up. No, don't tear, no, no, do not
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: tear no, no, no, you're right, it's twenty twenty six.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: What you do is you go on social media and
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: you complain.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: It's gonna check it, right, now and he's gonna tell
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: me it should have it's only like sixty cents off,
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: which will totally remove my theory.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I have learned from the podcast I do on the weekends,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the fifth Hour. We talked mostly about food and just
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: random stuff, not sports on the podcast, and so I
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: have learned that they the fast food restaurants take advantage
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: of people that are lazy. And you can't actually get
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: cheap fast food, but you have to use the app.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: So if you eat a lot of fast food, you
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: gotta have like the Windy's app, the McDonald's app, you
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: gotta have the Taco bell app. You gotta have eighteen
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: apps on your fricking phone to get a reasonably priced meal.
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: And it's it's annoying because if you just go in
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: and then they realize people are usually just it's too
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: much work.
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: Hello, would you like to use your points today? Will
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: you been checking in with the app?
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: Oh?
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: On top of it, I get free food all the time. Okay,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: see right, coop. But if you don't use the if
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: you do not use the app, you're not getting that.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: You're just exactly they're they're charging you the full amount.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: And most people that go in there. I bet you
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: most of the business they do or not on the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: app and because they want to track you and all that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: So all right, let's keep going. What do we got here?
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Let's see any Meani miney moe. Let's say hello to
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Jed who fled? Who's next in the Redneck Riviera? Hello,

  Speaker 2: This is one big gets grilled.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Koblo And it was reported on Wednesday that the Dolphins
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: have been telling teams that running back to von a
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: Chain is not available for trade. Now been a team
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: that's obviously not trying to win, the Dolphins. Are you
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: surprised that they're holding on to a chain?
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Well, they can say whatever they want. And anyway, why
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: would you You're not You're not talking about the greatest
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: running back. He's a good player. He's not a great player.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: He's a good player. In the NFL. So I don't
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: believe the Dolphins. It doesn't matter what they say public
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Like politicians, these people say one thing publicly and then
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: privately like, all right, give us a couple Eicra picks,
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: you can have him. You know, this happens all the time.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: So I don't think they're they're gonna hold on to him.
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: I think eventually they'll trade. What's the point of keeping them.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: It's like putting a Lamborghini in front of a you know,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a mobile home. It doesn't make any sense.
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: Next now, well, former Alabama quarterback Tys Simpson was being
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: linked to the steel It's now being reported that Pittsburgh
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: won't be looking at Simpson the twenty first overall pick,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: and that Simpson's actually tumbling down draft boards. Ben, when
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: do you think Simpson will go in the draft?
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: What did he do to tumble down draft boards? Coop?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: He hadn't played a game. Alabama hasn't played a game
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: in months. This whole rising and falling thing about the
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: draft is another reason to hate the NFL draft. I've
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: seen some clips on YouTube. He doesn't look all that
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: good to me. I watched him. Obviously at Alabama. They
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: earned some every game is a big game at Alabama.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: I'm worried my rams are gonna take him. Fortunately, they
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: traded their late first round pick, so they won't draft
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: him in the first round. I don't draft him in
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: the top ten. He didn't look all that good to me.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: But he'll still be drafted in the first two rounds
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: of the draft next.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Now, the Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau after a second round
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: exit last year. Now, as we approach the NBA playoffs
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: this year, do you think the Knicks are a better
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: team now than they were under Tims a year ago?
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: No?
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: No, I am a Tom Thibodeau truther. I like Tom Thibodeau.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I like the way he coaches and plays his guys
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: and doesn't buy into the dogma, the bull crap about
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: load management and all that. I don't think Mike Brown,
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's all that. He's a nice guy.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Mike Brown. Nobody says he's a good coach. They all
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: say he's a nice guy. I don't think the Knicks
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: are I think they're in the same spot they were
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: last year. How'd we do cope? You pass this edition
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: that they would put it on that fog When I
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: went on Chicken dinn
