- 0:28Speaker 2: Do you actually have a chance to sign the player
- 0:30Speaker 2: who's currently with the Milwaukee Bucks but it appears would
- 0:33Speaker 2: like to leave Wisconsin? Also, how much stalk do you

- 1:17Speaker 2: patrons as we are the show that's Wings saw Wings
- 1:23Speaker 2: coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
- 1:26Speaker 2: vast and magically powerful microphones of fsre ammunating live from
- 1:34Speaker 2: the zone, the strike zone of the overnight and the
- 1:39Speaker 2: Fox Sports radio studios as approved by Chip in the
- 1:42Speaker 2: cues and this portion of the Ben Malor Show made
- 1:47Speaker 2: possible in part by tire Raq. Over forty years, ty
- 1:50Speaker 2: Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires.
- 1:53Speaker 1: For how, what and where they drive.
- 1:57Speaker 2: Ship fast and freeback by free road hazard detection with
- 2:01Speaker 2: convenient installation options like mobile tire installation.
- 2:06Speaker 1: I see a nod in your head over there for dog.
- 2:08Speaker 2: That's right, tire rack dot Com, the Way Tire Buying show,
- 2:13Speaker 2: so our lead this hour. I was debating going with baseball.
- 2:19Speaker 2: We did that the other day and I got several complaints.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Just start with baseball. It's only June. I don't understand.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It's not my god didn't play a million more games,
- 2:29Speaker 1: So shut up. I'm gonna talk about a sport. They're
- 2:31Speaker 1: not even gonna play this.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple of basketball games no one will
- 2:35Speaker 2: be watching this week starting on Thursday, but no games until.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Late in the year. Late in the year.
- 2:42Speaker 2: But our lead this hour is from pro bouncy Ball.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Pro bouncy Ball. Now, we got a bunch of downtime
- 2:49Speaker 2: before the matchup with the Cornfield versus the Soybean in
- 2:54Speaker 2: the NBA Finals. Now to fill the void, we have
- 2:58Speaker 2: cranked up the rumor machine. It has been working over
- 3:02Speaker 2: time and serving up some Greek food. That's right, a
- 3:06Speaker 2: little Greek food on that. And if you have not
- 3:09Speaker 2: been following, it's a bad job by you. Some chatter
- 3:14Speaker 2: that the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, the man that held up
- 3:19Speaker 2: the championship trophy a couple of years ago, Jannis Denta Cuombo,
- 3:24Speaker 2: has a wondering eye and he has been looking.
- 3:28Speaker 1: North of the border, all eyeing Toronto.
- 3:35Speaker 2: The Raptors there is said to be in breathless reporting
- 3:40Speaker 2: mutual interest, mutual interest between the Bucks Giannis Denta Cumbo
- 3:46Speaker 2: and Toronto. So Yannis, who's won not one, but two
- 3:53Speaker 2: Most Valuable Player awards, so I'm told that's pretty good.
- 3:56Speaker 2: I'm playing the NBA and the championship and all that stuff.
- 3:59Speaker 2: And it has been widely speculated that he is considering
- 4:05Speaker 2: a relocation situation. The Bucks have had not one, not two,
- 4:10Speaker 2: but three consecutive first round departures from the postseason. They
- 4:15Speaker 2: have been decommissioned in the first round three years in
- 4:17Speaker 2: a row. And you compound that with not having a coach.
- 4:22Speaker 2: They're the headless deer, Doc Rivers. I'd rather have an
- 4:27Speaker 2: actual doctor as my coach than a fake doctor, Doc Rivers.
- 4:31Speaker 2: When you hire Doc, you're not trying to win.
- 4:33Speaker 1: You're not.
- 4:33Speaker 2: When you hire Doc Rivers, you're trying to give good
- 4:36Speaker 2: soundbites to the media and have nice things said about you.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Because it's Doc Rivers. Everyone loves Doc.
- 4:41Speaker 2: He's Devin Air. He's got the smile. Everyone loves them.
- 4:43Speaker 2: Can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.
- 4:46Speaker 2: That's a side. Then you've got the Dame train which
- 4:50Speaker 2: has gone off the tracks, and the Dame enjoying a
- 4:53Speaker 2: steady diet of rice crispy, snap, crackle and pop and
- 4:58Speaker 2: the Achilles there. So those are all the ingredients that
- 5:01Speaker 2: have gotten to this point. Now you know that Toronto,
- 5:06Speaker 2: they're they're out there kicking the time. They need that headline.
- 5:09Speaker 2: They're not anybody. Not that we talk much Raptors basketball here,
- 5:13Speaker 2: but they don't. So Milwaukee's championship windows seems to close
- 5:16Speaker 2: and it seems to be done dead bolted see it later.
- 5:19Speaker 2: It's not even a window anymore. It's like a wall
- 5:21Speaker 2: at this point. So let us discuss the question. You
- 5:26Speaker 2: make the call? You make the call question, if you're
- 5:29Speaker 2: the Raptors, do you go all in for Giannis a
- 5:35Speaker 2: Denta Kombo? And do you actually have a chance to
- 5:38Speaker 2: get the player? So my thoughts on this, I've got
- 5:42Speaker 2: Da Vinci, saber Tooth Tiger, and slow churn and we
- 5:49Speaker 2: will combine all of these things together and we are
- 5:54Speaker 2: going to make some ice. Ice baby, is what we're
- 5:58Speaker 2: gonna make. So a to answer the question question, if
- 6:01Speaker 2: you're the Raptors, you go all in? Yes, I'm not
- 6:03Speaker 2: in my head, yes of course. Now do you have
- 6:06Speaker 2: a chance to actually get the player? Well, that's where
- 6:09Speaker 2: things get a little foggy. That's where things get a
- 6:12Speaker 2: little foggy. But from the Toronto site, it's a no brainer, right,
- 6:15Speaker 2: It's an absolute no brainer. While it is generally considered
- 6:20Speaker 2: taboo for any star players to sign with the Toronto Raptor,
- 6:24Speaker 2: you can be traded there, but to actually sign now
- 6:27Speaker 2: and this would be a trade. This would be a trade,
- 6:29Speaker 2: but it's kind of trade where the player wants to
- 6:31Speaker 2: go there, So it's.
- 6:32Speaker 1: A fake trade.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Like a real trade is the player doesn't want to
- 6:36Speaker 2: go there, you trade them anyway.
- 6:37Speaker 1: This would be a faux trade.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Toronto for big names in the NBA is seen as
- 6:41Speaker 2: a barren wasteland. You just don't go there, and you
- 6:45Speaker 2: can get players in the draft. You can have a
- 6:49Speaker 2: bunch of no name, no brand type players and Yiannis, though,
- 6:54Speaker 2: the reason that there's something there, the reason I'm buying
- 6:58Speaker 2: that there's something there is Gianni's is a different breed
- 7:02Speaker 2: a kitty cat, a different breed of kitty cat here
- 7:05Speaker 2: and doesn't seem like he needs the suntan lotionan the
- 7:09Speaker 2: bikini bottoms.
- 7:10Speaker 1: That you get in La or Miami or anything like that.
- 7:12Speaker 2: But much like Da Vinci or Michelangelo, a renaissance man
- 7:18Speaker 2: to a point, I do believe the last couple of
- 7:20Speaker 2: years since winning the championship that Yannis has more more
- 7:25Speaker 2: into line with all the other a holes in the NBA.
- 7:29Speaker 2: He's still got that international flavor, flavor flavor, He's got
- 7:34Speaker 2: that going for him, and he could be convinced that hey,
- 7:39Speaker 2: I can go and enjoy maple syrup powdered powered snowblowers
- 7:45Speaker 2: and all that stuff, and maybe he always wanted to
- 7:48Speaker 2: play near the CN Tower and that he really wanted that.
- 7:52Speaker 2: And yeah, and there's a great Greek town. One of
- 7:56Speaker 2: our listeners that met at the meet and greets, well,
- 7:59Speaker 2: Toronto's guy, there's a big Greek population there and they've
- 8:02Speaker 2: got a great Greek job.
- 8:03Speaker 1: All right.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Honest is I believe under contract if I'm not mistaken
- 8:07Speaker 2: for another couple of seasons. So it would have to
- 8:10Speaker 2: be a trade. Any bucks I am told will demand
- 8:12Speaker 2: a king's ransom. You also have the meddling NBA power
- 8:16Speaker 2: brokers who are gonna try to encourage encourage a Yiannis
- 8:21Speaker 2: to go to a big, big, big, big big market,
- 8:24Speaker 2: the usual suspects LA Miami, New York, and those are
- 8:28Speaker 2: the usual. Maybe Golden State, maybe a Golden State gets
- 8:31Speaker 2: mixed in there, and he's a known commodity.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Though you're the raptors and you're trying to get that
- 8:35Speaker 1: big guy.
- 8:36Speaker 2: That's a guy you can actually get, and you're gonna
- 8:38Speaker 2: have to give up a bunch of promissory notes and
- 8:41Speaker 2: you get a proven star who's in the near end
- 8:46Speaker 2: of his prime. A couple more years of Giannis and
- 8:48Speaker 2: then it's a slow decline. All right, now, turning the
- 8:50Speaker 2: page the round mound of rebound. He was known as
- 8:54Speaker 2: that when he played Charles Barkley making some news. He's
- 8:59Speaker 2: announced that he has it all mapped out his great
- 9:03Speaker 2: escape from television, appearing right here on Fox Sports Radio
- 9:08Speaker 2: with Dan Patrick, who also has got it all mapped out.
- 9:11Speaker 2: Dan's got a plan to retire, so Charles Barkley revealed
- 9:15Speaker 2: that he only intends to.
- 9:16Speaker 1: Work two more years. That's it.
- 9:20Speaker 2: He's got a two hundred million dollar contract. But here's
- 9:25Speaker 2: Barkley explaining what his plan is as he's still with
- 9:30Speaker 2: Warner Brothers. It's kind of weird, but it's it's gonna
- 9:33Speaker 2: be on ESPN, but he's not gonna really be an
- 9:36Speaker 2: ESPN and play anyway.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Listen, here's what Barkley had to say.
- 9:39Speaker 3: I actually have seven years left on my contract. I're like, yeah,
- 9:41Speaker 3: there's no way I'm working seven years. I says. You know,
- 9:43Speaker 3: I'm gonna be a good soldier for Kenny, Ernie and
- 9:45Speaker 3: Shaq and the people I work with, because I love
- 9:49Speaker 3: the people I work with, especially behind the scenes. I said,
- 9:51Speaker 3: but the best I can do is two years.
- 9:54Speaker 1: All right, so he said two years.
- 9:56Speaker 2: He is also concerned, he says if ESPN overworks him,
- 9:59Speaker 2: even though he's going to be working for Turner, he said,
- 10:01Speaker 2: he'll just go home.
- 10:03Speaker 1: He said, He'll just go home.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So let us discuss how much stalk? How much doc
- 10:10Speaker 2: do you give Charles Barkley, the greatest ex jock turned
- 10:13Speaker 2: player that jock ocracy usually produces crap with former players
- 10:17Speaker 2: on television, but Charles.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Barkley is not that.
- 10:21Speaker 2: He is at the very top of the food chain
- 10:24Speaker 2: when he comes to broadcasting. So how much doc do
- 10:27Speaker 2: you give Charles Barkley? As he has announced he is
- 10:29Speaker 2: planning to retire from TV in two years. So after
- 10:32Speaker 2: a thorough deliberation of the available information, we have given
- 10:37Speaker 2: this a solid zero, a solid zero. So Charles Barkley
- 10:43Speaker 2: and one thing I've come to know over the last
- 10:45Speaker 2: ten plus years of talking about Charles Barkley, and it's
- 10:48Speaker 2: been longer than that, but just the last decade plus,
- 10:51Speaker 2: Charles Barkley loves a saber tooth tiger. But really what
- 10:58Speaker 2: he loves is saber rat. He loves saber rattling. When
- 11:03Speaker 2: talking about his future, I guess everyone all worked up
- 11:05Speaker 2: into a nice tizzy and likes. Barkley's the guy that
- 11:11Speaker 2: will spit in your pocket and announce that it's raining.
- 11:16Speaker 2: As he's spitting a nice thick loogie in your pocket.
- 11:19Speaker 1: He'll announce it's rain.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Now, we went back to the copious amounts of notes
- 11:24Speaker 2: that we do on a daily basis for these Mallard monologues,
- 11:27Speaker 2: and we went all the way back, back back back
- 11:29Speaker 2: back back in the hot top time machine to twenty twelve,
- 11:33Speaker 2: and we then searched keywords, and we determined that Charles
- 11:38Speaker 2: bark has publicly discussed or announced he's done with television
- 11:46Speaker 2: six times since twenty twelve. Six times I'm out, and
- 11:51Speaker 2: every time Barkley's continue to work. Every time we in
- 11:56Speaker 2: our notes, we had twenty twelve, twenty fifteen, twenty eighteen,
- 11:59Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty four,
- 12:03Speaker 2: and now we can add twenty twenty five. Although he
- 12:06Speaker 2: didn't announce he's going to quit right away, he say
- 12:08Speaker 2: it's going to be a couple of years and all that,
- 12:10Speaker 2: and every time he's announced this, every single time he
- 12:14Speaker 2: has continued to work. He signed new contracts and he
- 12:17Speaker 2: has reversed those retirement plans.
- 12:19Speaker 1: But wait, there's more.
- 12:22Speaker 2: Barkley also loved in the past claiming he was going
- 12:26Speaker 2: to become the governor of Alabama. This was a big
- 12:29Speaker 2: thing that Barkley brought up many times. There were four
- 12:32Speaker 2: times that goes back to the nineties where Barkley announced
- 12:36Speaker 2: that he was going to be the governor of his
- 12:38Speaker 2: home state, his native state of Alabama. He did that
- 12:41Speaker 2: in the nineties, the six as well, eight and actually
- 12:46Speaker 2: twice in eight he.
- 12:47Speaker 1: Announced he was going to become the governor of Alabama.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And either time or all the times, I should say
- 12:54Speaker 2: all the times he failed failed. Barkley failed to actually
- 12:57Speaker 2: run for governor of Alabama.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Never did it.
- 13:00Speaker 2: He always abandoned that plan, and his political ambitions were bullshoy.
- 13:07Speaker 1: We're absolutely bullshoy.
- 13:09Speaker 2: Now there is an age situation which is a factor,
- 13:13Speaker 2: but only a little bit. Barkley is now sixty two,
- 13:17Speaker 2: so he's he's at the point he's got a lot
- 13:20Speaker 2: of money, and he's got a lot of money because
- 13:22Speaker 2: of television. He's got money because of TV, not because
- 13:24Speaker 2: of basketball, because of basketball and TV. But Charles Barkley
- 13:29Speaker 2: is a TV commentator. He's not a former player. He's
- 13:33Speaker 2: a TV guy and it really isn't work. Like I've
- 13:38Speaker 2: been lucky enough Alascos had a TV show and like
- 13:40Speaker 2: this has worked, like the radio shows where I do
- 13:43Speaker 2: everything for the show, put it all together. Like the
- 13:45Speaker 2: TV show, there's people that help you. There's like support staff,
- 13:47Speaker 2: producers and directors and people that make you look good
- 13:51Speaker 2: and it helps out a lot. And it's wonderful to
- 13:54Speaker 2: be in that environment. So if you're doing TV like Barkley,
- 13:56Speaker 2: I mean, you got a million people helping you show
- 14:00Speaker 2: up and you don't have to worry about putting monologues
- 14:03Speaker 2: together and doing all the other You don't worry about it,
- 14:05Speaker 2: right because you know people actually help you out. It's
- 14:07Speaker 2: a it's amazing thing. And Barkley's getting twelve and a
- 14:10Speaker 2: half million dollars per year and he has earned a
- 14:14Speaker 2: massive amount more as a TV guy than a player.
- 14:19Speaker 2: In fact, I went back I look Barkley when he
- 14:22Speaker 2: played for the Sixers and the Suns and bounced around
- 14:25Speaker 2: the NBA a little bit, mostly the Suns and the Sixers,
- 14:28Speaker 2: but Charles Barkley played with the Rocket Saalz.
- 14:31Speaker 1: But his total.
- 14:32Speaker 2: Earnings like forty million, which a lot of money and
- 14:35Speaker 2: let's old old money. Forty million as a player he
- 14:38Speaker 2: has made it's estimated close to two hundred million as
- 14:44Speaker 2: a broadcaster. So forty million is a player. I think
- 14:46Speaker 2: it's like one hundred and seventy hundred and seventy five
- 14:48Speaker 2: million something like in that ballpark, which is a good ballpark.
- 14:52Speaker 2: And that does not even include like the endorsement stuff
- 14:56Speaker 2: that he's he's got. So he's cashing it in now,
- 14:59Speaker 2: last words, speak of the jockocracy of basketball. Flipping the
- 15:04Speaker 2: page here. Warriors star Stephen Curry making some news recently.
- 15:09Speaker 2: He's not retiring from the NBA, not yet, however, he
- 15:13Speaker 2: told c NBC. He said, Lizen, I got it all
- 15:18Speaker 2: mapped out. I got this whole plan right, this whole
- 15:22Speaker 2: plan mapped out right.
- 15:25Speaker 1: And uh and so what what is that? What is
- 15:27Speaker 1: the well?
- 15:27Speaker 2: So he mentioned to c NBC that TV broadcasting he's
- 15:32Speaker 2: thinking about doing that. Uh, he's got team ownership and
- 15:36Speaker 2: possibly playing on the PGA Tour championship.
- 15:40Speaker 1: Uh, the champions.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Tour for the PGA Tour. They got all the mapdown
- 15:43Speaker 2: all right. So to me, the most interesting thing, you know,
- 15:45Speaker 2: athlete owns a team. We've seen that with Jordan we've seen,
- 15:49Speaker 2: you know, stars run teams like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. Uh.
- 15:53Speaker 2: And so that doesn't really interest me. The TV thing
- 15:56Speaker 2: because we just talked about Barkley that interests me. So
- 16:00Speaker 2: would Steph Curry be a good TV broadcast? All right,
- 16:05Speaker 2: So let's go to the wheel of fortune here. Can
- 16:08Speaker 2: I get an N? And can I I'd.
- 16:11Speaker 1: Like an N? And can I buy a vowel? I
- 16:13Speaker 1: would like an oh? I would like an oh? That
- 16:16Speaker 1: would be no.
- 16:17Speaker 2: He's going to be terrible as a broches my god.
- 16:22Speaker 2: So let's break this down unscientifically. Now, Steph Curry is
- 16:28Speaker 2: seen as a charming individual. He is seen as smart,
- 16:33Speaker 2: he is seen as well spoken, and those are all
- 16:36Speaker 2: positive attributes. They're all positive blah blah blah blah. All that.
- 16:42Speaker 2: That does not mean that he is cut out to
- 16:44Speaker 2: sit in a broadcast booth or in a studio and
- 16:47Speaker 2: commentate on pro balancy ball. Because Steph Curry is like
- 16:52Speaker 2: slow churned vanilla bean ice cream when it comes to
- 16:56Speaker 2: the things he says, He just is you need it edge.
- 17:01Speaker 2: You need an edge to be good. You need to
- 17:03Speaker 2: tell it like it is. You need to goof around,
- 17:06Speaker 2: have self deprecating humor like Charles Barkley. And when a
- 17:10Speaker 2: player goes out there and is a brick house and
- 17:14Speaker 2: just blows and everyone knows the players can't hit a
- 17:18Speaker 2: jumper save his life, plays El Mattador defense. And you
- 17:21Speaker 2: get on there and make excuses for that player or
- 17:23Speaker 2: downplay it. You've lost all credibility. Your fraud is what
- 17:27Speaker 2: you are. And Steph Curry as a broadcasterer barring some
- 17:31Speaker 2: kind of shocking renaissance milk toast, that's what you read
- 17:35Speaker 2: in milk Toast. And mister, oh, you know, gee, golly,
- 17:41Speaker 2: I love golf. I love my family and all this stuff.
- 17:43Speaker 2: It's very nice. It's nice to love golf. It means
- 17:45Speaker 2: you've got money. I don't know anyone poor that likes golf.
- 17:48Speaker 2: I've never met anyone poor in my life that likes
- 17:51Speaker 2: golf and is able to play golf. Rich people like golf,
- 17:54Speaker 2: and super rich we all love golf. They play it
- 17:56Speaker 2: all the time. Right, he's much too pot Steph Curry
- 18:01Speaker 2: to be any good as Rochester. Now that doesn't mean
- 18:03Speaker 2: he's not gonna get a chance. Because of the jockocracy,
- 18:05Speaker 2: which has been around since the eighties. There's this old
- 18:07Speaker 2: sportscaster you've never heard of named Howard Cosell, who knew
- 18:10Speaker 2: right away what was going on. But you know everything
- 18:13Speaker 2: Curry says now, and I don't think he's gonna change much.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Every take that Curry has is dipped in sugar and
- 18:21Speaker 2: then rolled in sprinkles, So you got the sugar, you
- 18:24Speaker 2: got the sprinkles and all that.
- 18:26Speaker 1: And I get it. He's been the golden child for
- 18:29Speaker 1: many in the.
- 18:29Speaker 2: NBA for over a decade and the media has been
- 18:34Speaker 2: licking his toes for a long time here, And you know,
- 18:37Speaker 2: give me someone who's not not afraid to ruffle some
- 18:42Speaker 2: feathers and is not trying to stay in the upper
- 18:46Speaker 2: crust of the oligarchy of the NBA. And because that
- 18:51Speaker 2: courage is gonna be like a sleep aid is what
- 18:53Speaker 2: he's gonna be.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Anyway, What do you think about that?
- 18:55Speaker 2: If you'd like to be part eight seven seven ninety

- 21:31Speaker 2: I don't believe for a minute that Charles Barkley will
- 21:33Speaker 2: give up all that money and attention anytime soon, unless
- 21:36Speaker 2: his health were to go into the toilet. He isn't
- 21:39Speaker 2: going anywhere anytime soon.
- 21:43Speaker 1: No, he is not. See what else do you I?
- 21:47Speaker 2: Chip also says I would love to take up the
- 21:49Speaker 2: game of golf even though I'm not a rich man,
- 21:51Speaker 2: but unfortunately I'm not able to and not good enough
- 21:55Speaker 2: health anymore to run those eighteen bases. They have these
- 21:58Speaker 2: things called golf carts slough Chip. You can get one
- 22:01Speaker 2: of those, and of course you'd have to have a
- 22:03Speaker 2: one money to rent a golf cart, but then you're
- 22:05Speaker 2: you're good to go on that supermarket. Steve says, Charles
- 22:09Speaker 2: all talked about how much money, how much more money
- 22:12Speaker 2: players make now than they did back then. Charles, I
- 22:15Speaker 2: wonder how much more money you make than Marv Albert
- 22:19Speaker 2: used to make. And then super marg Steve, who's always
- 22:23Speaker 2: questioning everything that has said, doesn't believe anything. He says
- 22:27Speaker 2: that Barkley made a lot more money than that during
- 22:30Speaker 2: his career. If you listen to the rest of the
- 22:33Speaker 2: I did not listen to the interview. I'm sleeping when
- 22:36Speaker 2: Dan Patrick's on. I saw the clip, so Dan's like
- 22:40Speaker 2: an overnight show for me. I don't hear Dan show anyway.
- 22:44Speaker 2: This is Michael Jordan convinced him to take most of
- 22:47Speaker 2: his Nike contract and stock options, turned it to fifty money.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Well again, super Mark, Steve, I know comprehension is not
- 22:53Speaker 2: your friend. But I didn't say that he made great investments.
- 22:58Speaker 2: It was how much money he made a player for
- 23:00Speaker 2: the Sixers and the Suns, and then you can buy
- 23:04Speaker 2: that and then you see how much money he's I'm
- 23:06Speaker 2: sure he's made a lot of money on the stock
- 23:07Speaker 2: market as a broadcaster.
- 23:09Speaker 1: Who cares? What p damn do?
- 23:13Speaker 2: Charman Harmon says, Hey, all the raptors have to do
- 23:17Speaker 2: is sign Giannie's brother for big money and boom, they'll
- 23:22Speaker 2: get him. Okay, and not everyone in agreement, though, there's
- 23:27Speaker 2: some people saying that there's no way he's going to Canada.
- 23:30Speaker 2: Not going to happen. What are you talking about? Jac
- 23:33Speaker 2: says there's no way Giannis wants to play in Canada,
- 23:36Speaker 2: He says, a terrible country, insanely high taxes, in terrible healthcare.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Well a, if you play in Toronto you get paid
- 23:45Speaker 2: in US dollars and if you have a good accountant.
- 23:48Speaker 2: As you know, JC, the rich people don't pay taxes.
- 23:52Speaker 2: It's the poor people that the middle class that pays taxes.
- 23:55Speaker 2: The rich people find loopholes to get out of paying taxes.
- 24:00Speaker 2: That's so if you're rich, you don't pay the taxes.
- 24:04Speaker 2: So that's that you put up a bunch of shell
- 24:06Speaker 2: charities out there.
- 24:08Speaker 1: And you're on your way now.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Trucker Joe says, Hey, Ben, when Dan Patrick retires and
- 24:12Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio comes to you and offers you a
- 24:15Speaker 2: show any bigger bag than what you get now, are
- 24:19Speaker 2: you going to sell out and go to the dreaded
- 24:22Speaker 2: day shift for a slightly bigger bag and better quality
- 24:26Speaker 2: of life?
- 24:26Speaker 1: Just asking for a friend.
- 24:27Speaker 2: Absolutely, I will, I fully admit I will sell out
- 24:31Speaker 2: if somebody's dumb enough to pay me a lot of
- 24:32Speaker 2: money to do what I'm doing right now, I will
- 24:35Speaker 2: absolutely sell out and go to the dreaded day shift
- 24:40Speaker 2: one thousand. I would just like that that schmuck Chris
- 24:43Speaker 2: and Houston who sold out for the day shift, and
- 24:46Speaker 2: all these other guys that have sold that. Yeah, of
- 24:47Speaker 2: course they pay me some real money, you know, and
- 24:51Speaker 2: maybe include me in some of the promotional videos and
- 24:53Speaker 2: things they don't normally do around these parts.
- 24:54Speaker 1: I would absolutely do it. One sign me up for that.
- 24:59Speaker 2: Mister Irrigation says, I love golf and I'm far from rich,
- 25:02Speaker 2: which leads to my question, would you rather have a
- 25:05Speaker 2: hole in one at Cyprus point hole sixteen at Pebble
- 25:07Speaker 2: Beach at the annual Pro am or pick up the
- 25:11Speaker 2: seven to ten split in a pro Bowlers tournament. Like
- 25:15Speaker 2: John Mose, I'd go Pebble Beach because I can. It
- 25:21Speaker 2: ain't making bowl. You drink while you're bowling, it's hard
- 25:24Speaker 2: to be really good. I know people drink while you
- 25:26Speaker 2: golf too, but it's hard to be really good at
- 25:28Speaker 2: that while you're completely sloshed. Late night drug test rights
- 25:31Speaker 2: and it says Charles Barkley knows that he can keep
- 25:33Speaker 2: getting me one year deals from ESPN plenty cash.
- 25:36Speaker 1: He's got a ten year deal.
- 25:38Speaker 2: It says they're taking applications for putting on a mascot
- 25:41Speaker 2: heead during college football. Milkman Mike and Colorado says, great
- 25:46Speaker 2: o'ply monologue, start the night off. You couldn't be more
- 25:48Speaker 2: correct about Doc Rivers. They'd be better off having Doc
- 25:53Speaker 2: Severnson directing the game plan. I don't think he's available.
- 25:56Speaker 2: They'd probably go further in the playoffs. All right, let's

- 31:00Speaker 1: Show b.
- 31:05Speaker 2: So you've heard of the name Lamar Odom. Well, Lamar's
- 31:08Speaker 2: back in the headlines here. It seems he's having some
- 31:11Speaker 2: financial difficulties or he just decided he doesn't need to
- 31:14Speaker 2: pay his bills. You see that Lamar Odom played the
- 31:19Speaker 2: Lakers and the Clippers and a bunch of teams bounced
- 31:21Speaker 2: around the NBA. Well, he has been evicted from his
- 31:26Speaker 2: La Area residents because he did not pay his rent.
- 31:31Speaker 2: How could he not have any money to pay his rent?
- 31:33Speaker 2: And the whole Kardashian thing and all that. Well, Lamar
- 31:39Speaker 2: who is forty five, Lamar owed him forty five years old,
- 31:42Speaker 2: and he has failed to pay his mortgage or not
- 31:47Speaker 2: mortgage his rent. Though this is right near us, we
- 31:50Speaker 2: do the show from Sherman Oaks in one of the
- 31:51Speaker 2: next cities over his studio city.
- 31:53Speaker 1: So I could go to this house. I have the address.
- 31:55Speaker 1: We can go to the house.
- 31:57Speaker 2: But he failed to pay the monthly rent and he
- 32:02Speaker 2: had to pay back rent of forty.
- 32:05Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars.
- 32:07Speaker 2: What Yeah, his monthly rent was fifteen thousand dollars and
- 32:11Speaker 2: then he didn't pay for each additional month he had
- 32:14Speaker 2: to pay also, so it ended up forty five thousand
- 32:17Speaker 2: and so the people that ran the they owned the property,
- 32:21Speaker 2: sued Otom for not being able to pay what he
- 32:26Speaker 2: owed and notice was sent for forty five thousand dollars
- 32:30Speaker 2: had to pay that with him three days and he
- 32:33Speaker 2: failed to do it. This was not the first time
- 32:36Speaker 2: that Lamar Odom has failed to pay his bills.
- 32:41Speaker 1: This has happened in the past. So there you go.
- 32:45Speaker 1: More a good reminder not to live above your means.
- 32:49Speaker 2: Yeah, I know LA is expensive, but you don't have
- 32:52Speaker 2: to pay fifteen thousand dollars a month. You can get
- 32:55Speaker 2: like a nice one bedroom apartment for like three grand.
- 32:58Speaker 1: You can get well some places that will get your
- 33:03Speaker 1: studio apartment. But there you go.
- 33:05Speaker 2: So Lamar having some issues, he said, well he should
- 33:09Speaker 2: have learned that in college. Well, he didn't really go
- 33:10Speaker 2: to college. He bounced around for a couple of years.
- 33:13Speaker 2: And how many colleges. Did he go to Rhode Island?
- 33:16Speaker 2: He went to UNLV A bunch of places he bounced around.
- 33:21Speaker 1: Yikes.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Terry in England has a conspiracy theory. He believes that
- 33:25Speaker 2: Anthony from Louisiana is justin in Cincinnati wearing a very
- 33:31Speaker 2: tight banana hammock.
- 33:33Speaker 1: So that is his theory.
- 33:35Speaker 2: Mister irrigation believes Anthony in Louisiana sounds like he might
- 33:39Speaker 2: be Charlie's classmate. Well, he's older though, Anthony. I like that, Anthony.
- 33:44Speaker 2: You get that Anthony call more often? Get that on
