• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour is from Party Plus. What
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: does that even mean? I'll explain. So the NBA is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: making more changes to their fugazy All Star Game. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: coming up here a couple of days from now would
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: be All Star Weekend, which used to be a big thing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: It mattered, it meant something for a lot of people.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And if you believe that it does still, you're a loser.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: It means nothing. They have killed. It's one of those
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: things and this happens. You get through life and it's
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: one of those things. It just doesn't matter. Kind of
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: like at one point people valued typewriters. People thought that
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that was very important. And the Horse and Buggy and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game in the NBA. Well, if you
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have not heard the latest on this, perhaps not, we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: know they had changed the format of the All Star Game. Well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it was announced to this week that we have learned
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the NBA is turning the twenty twenty six All Star Weekend,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: which is in Los Angeles, into a content factory more
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: than two hundred hand selected creators. We'll be roaming around LA.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Of course, this might mean something if you were in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a town where you don't have this, but I think
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: this is everywhere. LA is just filled with these a holes.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: They're everywhere. Anyway, The league picked this group of prominent
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: influencers to cover live broadcast All Star weekend in arena
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: programming on court competitions and fan events, and so that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: is a that's a good jumping off point. Let us
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: discuss the question what message is Adam Silver and his
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: group of minions sending to NBA fans that they've opened
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the doors hand picked influencers for the All Star Game.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So I've got Hannibal Lecter, camouflage and little Ditty, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we're
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: gonna make some chicken Alfredo fat accini alfredo, little chicken
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: on top there, the nice sauce, the alfredo sauce. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. So first of all, if
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you look up to the to the to the right,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: it's actually the If you look up to the right,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: here you will see on the very top of the
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I don't give an f mountain. You will see Adam
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Silver and he's waving a surrendered towel and it's got
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the NBA logo. It's right up there. He's got the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: NBA surrender logo on it, right there. The message for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: those few people that still look forward to All Star weekend,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you're not the customer we want. You're not your background noise.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: We're done with you. Turn out the lots, the parties over,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: just like that. So two hundred look at me, creators,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the plague of the Earth roaming around l A. This
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: sounds like the manuscript. It's like the plot of a
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: horror movie. This does not terrible. Oh my god, roaming
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: around here these evil monsters. Are they lizard people? No, No,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: even worse than lizard people. They're influencers. Oh my god.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: They've got their ring lights. They're gonna kill you in
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a selfie stick. Watch out, they're gonna kill you with
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: a selfie stack. Oh my god. The carnage so stupid.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: So the NBA, this is their plan. They multi billion
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: dollar business, the NBA. They've killed the regular season, they've
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: killed the All Star Game. So like we're gonna fix
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the All Star Game. I know what we're gonna do
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in our offices on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Here's what
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're gonna save the All Star Game.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But we couldn't save it. So now what we're gonna
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: do is we're just gonna turn All Star weekend into
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a petting zoo for tick talkers. Second, petty pet the
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: NBA player. There's a mascot over there. Look it's Benny
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: the Bull. It's it's the Condor from the Clippers. Look
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: at that a little video. It's so great. You realize
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this is like Hannibal Elector level stuff. Like this is
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Hannibal Lecter level stuff. The NBA is eating its own product,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: trying to stay alive. They've given up. They've said, no, Mas,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: we got nothing. All right, we got nothing, and all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: under the guys of saying it's about reaching the next generation.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: That's I love that. I love it. I love it,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I love it, I love it, I love it. I'm
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: trying to reach the next generation. And I hear that,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and my BS detector, my BS detector starts burning up.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: The motor in my BS detector actually starts burning up.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: You know what this is. I'll tell you exactly what
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this is I know people who are involved in these
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: type of decisions, and as I understand it, what happened
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: here is the people running the NBA fell for the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: same nonsense that the people that the NFL dealt with.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: We saw this, I saw this up close last week.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: But it's consultant nonsense is essentially what it is like.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: These leagues have been sold a bill of goods, like
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: imagine them going to an airport, seminar, a motel six,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: PowerPoint presentation, spider alert. I don't care how many influenced
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you can have, twenty five thousand influencers. Gen Z ain't watching.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You're not gonna make any money from gen Z. It's
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: not happening. They don't care. They've been raised on devices
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: on screens and we're not sitting there and watching a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: two and a half hour NBA game. They want no
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: part of that. And the idea that somehow this is
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: going to create a generation of fans, it is so ridiculous.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I would love to give an award whoever's was able
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to sell these NBA executives that this is the way
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to do it. What a sales pitch? Could you imagine
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: the elevator pitch Okay, So the people that watch a
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: one second clip, by the way, you get credit for
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: one second, one second clip, are they gonna watch the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Charlotte Hornets play the Toronto Raptors on a Wednesday night
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: at seven o'clock please? Please? Uh? And in comparison, if
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: you look at the amount of revenue that you can make,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and it's not a big time business here on TikTok
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and Instagram platforms like that, it's essentially pocket lint compared
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: to with the real cash cow, which has been television.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And people aren't watching as much television they used to
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: because of the same situation. So in comparison, it's pennies
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: on the dollar compared to television. So the message is
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: again the messages the NBA. They don't believe in their
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: own product. They have given up on trying to convince
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the athletes to try and compete. They they've said, we
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: can't do it. They don't want to compete, and we're done,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and so let's just bring in the selfie stick crowd
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: And I saw it at the Super Bowl. Radio row
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: has been tarnished forever by these dopes that were running around.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It was a nightmare, is what it was. And but
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: there's been no evidence that I have seen that this works.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And I've often ranted about the matrix and how it
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is so easy to manipulate the numbers online and there
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: are more people on Instagram that live in the world.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: It's it's insane, you know, it's it's really and yet
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: it is the greatest hustle, and there are people that
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: are able to pull it off, and they're able to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: convince really smart people and listen, I knew this. I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: read a book about magic. I was fascinated as a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: kid with magic. I love magic. I used to go
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: to the magic Shop at Disney I grew up near Disneyland,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: used to go there all the time, loved it. My
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: favorite spot at disney I was a magic shop. And
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: then I started reading books about magic, and it was
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't sitting here. You can see anything
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you want online. But I would be like, hey, you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: know this is cool. Then and I'd learned like some
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: of the smartest people, leaders of countries, people that have
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the nuclear codes, would fall for basic magic tricks. So
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter how smart you are, how educated you are,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you can fall for the hustle. And to me, this
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: is one of the great all time hustles that there
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: are people obviously a lot of people on social media,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: but the numbers, it is a dystopian number that is
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: tossed out. You can manipulate the numbers, and these there
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: are major companies that are worth billions, and there is
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: so much manipulation going on if the lay person doesn't
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: understand it. But I'm telling you, it's wild. It's absolutely wild.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: So there you go. So the NBA does not believe
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: in their product anymore again, and instead of selling you steak,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: they are now going to sell you little bite sized
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: pieces with a toothpick of that steak. All right now.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Secondly to La we Go, Lakers got blown out by this.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: How great was that? Go San Antonio, go Wemby. Of
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: course Lakers didn't try. They forfeited that game, although they
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: didn't tell the people that paid money to go to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the game they were forfeiting the game, but they did.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: They didn't play a single starter and so great way
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: to screw over your fan base. That's the Lakers anyway.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: So prior to that, Lebron James got snippy. Lebron James
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: got a little snippy with the media. He was asked
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: about how the Lakers match up to the reigning champions
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of the NBA OKC Do you see this? And Lebron
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: got his panties in a bunch. He said, you want
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: me to compare us to them? That's a championship right there.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Lebron said, we're not. He grumbled to the media. We
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: can't sustain energy or an effort, he said for forty
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: eight minutes, and they can. That's why they won a championship.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Close quote, all right, question what was Lebron James hoping
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to accomplish by pointing out that the Lakers are not
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: a championship? Big headline all over the way. So Lebron
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was executing the calculated narrative shift. He knows how this
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: is going to go. The Lakers didn't have Luca in
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: these last couple of games, says what happened to? Luca's
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: in great shape. He's not going to get hurt. He's
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: ready to go. He got hurt, remember those stories, greatest
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: shape his life. He was on the cover of like
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Men's Fitness or whatever that magazine no one reads is
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and oh, he's in such great shape, but he's never
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: gonna get hurt. Raised seems like he's hurt. Can't talk
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: about that part though, But as far as Lebron, by
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: publicly declaring the Lakers are not a championship team, what
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Lebron is doing is he is downplaying any expectations. This
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: is a classic move by Lebron. Some people run towards
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: they want the high expectation. Lebron's not one of those people.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Lebron is creating camouflagh might as well be working for
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the Army of the Marines here. Wants to hide the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: fact that he's always supposed to be winning championships and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: playing for championships. He's been an abject failure with the Lakers.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: They've won no championships since Lebron got to the Lakers,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and this is gonna be another lost season for the Lakers.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: It's mediocrity. And despite all the glitz and glamours. Oh,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: they got big names, they got Luca, they got Lebron.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: The Lakers are firmly entrenched in a place I call
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: the middleweight division. They're not a heavyweight. They're a middleweight.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It could be a lightweight. They're not that. They're a
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: middleweight team. They got the star power with Lebron and
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Luca and gives the the shimmer illusion that they are
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: an elite team. Mean, at this butt, this thing keeps snapping,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: all right, so they say, hey, you know we're we
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: are this you know, big star laden team and we're
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: good to go and all that stuff, and yeah, not
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: so much. You look behind the curtain and it's like
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: they don't really play much defense. That's like YMCA level.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It's like pickup basketball defense. If they used to play
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: pick up basketball. I was Moneyball Mallard back in the day,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: and pick up basketball there's usually one guy who's really
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: annoying that tries to play defense, and everyone else just
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: wants to play offense, and that one guy's really annoying.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: They don't even have one guy that's trying to play defense.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The Lakers are twenty eighth in block shots. How's that
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton thing we're working out? There's seventeenth in scoring
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: defense at a thirty league team, a thirty team league.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: That's average at best, and so not exactly an iron wall,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: more like a creampuff. But wait, there's more. The Lakers
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: have actually been statistically better. You would know this on
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the game that was played on Tuesday night, But the
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Lakers have been better this year without Lebron James on
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the court. They had a higher winning percentage. They still do.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: It's not as good as it was because they lost
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that game last night. So they've been better without him,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: and Lebron liesn't he can see the writing on the wall,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: the graffiti on the wall. This squad is destined for
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: another early playoff bump. They're not going far. And it's
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the same old Lebron James script. We've seen him. He's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: been in the league so long, we've seen it. He
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: knows he's pigeonholed this team because he knows they're frauds.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: It wasn't used as some kind of wake up call. No,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: he knows they're frauds and he just wanted to point
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: it out. So just don't get your expectations up and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: anything like that. It's a total cynicism by Lebron James,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: is what it is. And so he's lowering the bar.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to elevate the bar. You're lowering the bar,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and they'll get bounced the first round. See him losing
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the first round depending on matchups, or is it the
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: second round? And then Lebron and said, I told you so,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: we just were not a championship team. Play the Yabbitt game.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah but yeah, but yeah, but yeah it Yeah but
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: if Luca hadn't got hurt, Yeah, but ye have it,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: ye have it, you have it. Yeah. But if we
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: had made that trade, yeah it, ye have it, ye
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: have it. Yeah, the Yabbitt Rabbit. All right, Final five
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: to Northern Ohio. We go where the weather sucks and
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: the basketball's pretty good lately. Donovan Spider Mitchell. We have
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: a follow up, follow up, new comments, follow up new
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: comments from Donovan Mitchell discussing the championship pedigree and the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: pressure the Cadavers have and he believes the time is now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: The time is now o MG YEP. Calves acquired James
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Harden from the People's Team recently the trade deadline, and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Mitchell said, quote, I think you understand what's at stake,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: He said to the Calves beat writers. You see what's here.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: There's a window. This is the window. This is there's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the time, Donovan Mitchell said, in a sense, the team
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: is going all in. It's time to go when you
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: make that move. Meeting James Harden. Understanding James age Mitchell's
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: quote continues, and where he's at in his career, the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: time is now. There is no runway, Mitchell said, in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: a sense with a group like that, you sacrifice even more,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: you believe even more. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Now,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I added that last part blah blah blah blah blah
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. I added that was not an
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: actual quote from Donovan Mitchell. The beginning part was the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: last part blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: added that question where do you stand on Donovan Mitchell
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and his announcement from the top of the bully pulpit
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: that this is the window for the new Look Cavaliers
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: with James Harden. So where do I stand? I stand.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to find the win though, Like where is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: what is the window there? I don't say the window
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: for sadness, the window for regret? Is that what Donovan
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Mitchell's talking about? Which window is it? Because like, what
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Another therapy bill for people in Cleveland? Like, well,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: we haven't won?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Will you won?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: With Lebron we don't win? Well, okay, well you're not
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: gonna win with James Harden. It is pure bravado. Pure
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: bravado is what it is. And Mitchell's out there pounding
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: his chest saying that this is our time. Listen. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: like that. I like the machismo. Do you understand that
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: it sounds like you are the creator of the dumbbell
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: ride when you say that adding James Harden is going
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: to put you over the top. Have you not watched
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: NBA playoff basketball for the last fifteen years? Like, where
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: have you been? What have you been doing? Seriously, is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: this make believe? Are we doing make Maybe we're doing
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: make believe. It's like betting on the Indy five hundred
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: or upcoming the Daytona five hundred, which is just coming
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: up here. It's like betting on the Daytona five hundred.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: And then I'd like the car that doesn't have any
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: spark plugs to win. Well, it's probably not gonna win.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's probably not gonna win. Good luck on that. So Cleveland,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned about pH poisoning. It's a big problem in
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: the NBA postseason. Have you heard of pH poisoning? No,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you have not. I should have put out a warning
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: that's playoff Harden. Poisoning is what it is. And we
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: have a little ditty for my friends in Cleveland Strip Club,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: John and all the boys in northern Ohio, OHIOI we
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: have a little ditty here and it goes like this, Oh,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: you better watch out. You better not cry, you better
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: not shout. I'm telling you why. Playoff Harden is coming
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: to town. Playoff Harden's coming to town, and he's gonna
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: vomit in the vomit comment. All right, now, hide the women,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: hide the children, hide the faint of heart. It is
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: not fun for all ages unless you bet on the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: other team. James Carden's body of work is legend. I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: tried to give him the benefit of doubt. He did
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: it the same crap with the Clippers. I said, things
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: are gonna be different with the Clippers. They were not
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: same crap bag player in the playoffs, he's some guys
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: are cut out for big games and some guys aren't.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: We know which category James Harden is in. The guy's
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: a leegend to Hall of Famer, first Battle Hall of Famer,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: right next to Muffett McGraw in the pro bouncy Ball
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. And then he performs measurably worse in
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: just about every area in the postseason, or another way
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: to phrase it, he disappears. It's like Bermuda Triangle, playoff Harden,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: big games and dominant regular season ballplayer high stakes elimination time,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: and he's getting a lap dance, is what he's doing.
• 21:45

• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I can't say, I can't do it. It is fascinating
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: how many suckbag coaches do the Raiders have to hire before.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Some people are like, well, maybe we should have some
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: critical thinking here and not get excited because they hired
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: somebody who's a NEPO baby. I don't, what do you
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: want me to do? So? Raiders fans are so funny, right, who?
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't think I said anything outrageous. I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: like this, They've hired a parade of losers.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: And I'm sure you don't even know this because like
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: you don't really check social media other than when you're
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: doing the show. Yeah, but uh, you know if the
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio count tweeted out a video of your
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: monologue from yesterday's show about Clint Kobyac and you just
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: got you got so much hate in the comments section
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: from all these Raiders fans calling you every name of
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: the book, and it's like, what do you what do
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: you have to stand on?
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: What?
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: What part of your history over the last twenty years
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: tells you that this is gonna be different?
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah? You're You're essentially the Cleveland Browns with black and silver. Yeah,
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I mean it's just seems terrible. I I love it.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: I am so happy. I you really I want to
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: thank the Raider fans coop because they really. I mean,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: it touches my heart that you get that work, you
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: really value my opinion. I am honored that you're that
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: offended by just I don't even think it's an outrageous take.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's not. I'm just really pointing out what's been going on.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: I've been here twenty I've been here twenty five years,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and the Raiders have maybe John Gruden was good, but
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: other than that, every other coach has been terrible. Every
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: other coaches sucked. And I gotta sit here and pretend like, oh,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: this guy's gonna be great. Why because he grew up
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: when his dad was changing diapers while he was coaching
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: in the NFL. Come on, anyway, let me pay off
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the riddle of the day. Here it is. Officials released
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: a prepared statement saying that Olympic medals will no longer blank,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: will no longer blank, and Andy and Lionel Lakes, Minnesota
• 26:47

• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Right Bobby and Florida Key Lime Pie Bobby says, no
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: longer redeemable for Benny Awards is the answer far out.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Dave in Ohio says, slither, shrink, stink, super slimy serious
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: silver shank shard. He just put a bunch of s
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: words together. That's far out. Dave Lady Sideburns, a fan favorite,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: says no longer be physical objects. We're going all digital. Baby,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Alf the Alien Pinter also said
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: no longer will be physical only accessible on your phone?
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Said your photo of a medal? What else do we
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: have a page on the Sawman says medals will no
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: longer be accepted as EBT cards. Took a shot, he said, no.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: No generations watching the NBA All Star Game or the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. That that is correct. All generations have agreed
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that that's not worth our time. Not good. Malaprop guy
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: says Olympic medals no longer can be used to pay
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: tolls in California because of rising costs.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, that reminds me I need to pay
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: my toll for crossing.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: The bridge, which the Bay Bridge?
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Yes, did you pay your toll?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't go that. I went the long way. I
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: took every way you go in you have to pay? No, No,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I'm good the way I went. I didn't go. I
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: didn't I didn't have to pay. Wait what Yeah, I
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: went the long way you curve around, you can avoid
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: paying the biscuits. Yeah, it took me ten hours to
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: get back, though I saved five bucks on a toll.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: It took me ten hours to get back. But I say,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: one on one you have fun. I took the one
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: on one. Not a lot of fun on the one
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: o one. I did go through Gilroy, though I love Gilroy.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Smells like garth.
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: Have you ever had the garlic ice cream?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been. I used to go to the Garlic festival.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: This is my first time taking the one fifty three
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: or whatever it was, and I was like, ooh, garlic
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: ice cream.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: You see a little stop, little gift shop right near
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the highway there, Yeah, it's beautiful.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Eloi from Compton said the Olympic medals will no longer
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: be purchased from TIMU all right, and I said no
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: longer made by Nike employees from late night drug tester. No,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: this is pretty funny. Children, Jared Jared points out they
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: will no longer be made of precious medals. They will
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: be switching to chocolate coins. Eke and Rosevil, Minnesota said
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: cracker jack box medals now that'll be coming there all
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: right now, very good. Let's go to the phones and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: the answer. By the way they rander, you have the answer.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: I was going to guess, well, someone actually stole my
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: answer about the emails.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: But my second guest.
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: Was because you know, each season has a specific curator,
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: so they're just all going to be the same, all.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Gonna be the same. No, that is in great. The Olympic
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: officials say the medals will no longer this is great.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: They send out a prepared statement saying they will no
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: longer fall apart. Can you imagine? Can you imagine being
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: that incompetent that you have to send out a statement
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: to announce that you will no long the medals will
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: no longer be falling apart. You've spent your entire childhood
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: trying to become an Olympic athlete, and the medal has
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: been falling by but this time it's going to be different.
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: Well did you hear about the design this year? Because
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: they're half like glass through and then half like snowy,
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: So they tried to make them all pretty, but the
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: part that sticks out isn't connecting to where it connects,
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: so they're breaking.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: I watched like five minutes of an Olympic hockey game.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And that's all I've I really haven't. It's on here,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: it's on you guys have it on the Is that live?
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Is it something? Is it live? Really a celebrating there,
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: So he's happy. I think because of timing reasons, I
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: think we should get right to the game show right,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: what do you say here? Why not? Here we go
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: hit that button, Ben Meller game. We've endored too many
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: of these, hasy too much or not enough enough already.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: The chance is that this guy is awake or slim
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: and none, and Slim has just left town and has
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: across the border. Let's say hello to hollering James. Hello,

• 31:04
  Speaker 2: So no, it's thirty six plus one, it's thirty seven.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: That's what I said.
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: That's what he said, said that Ben's very good at mass.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Not really too much. I'm gonna go.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: With the over on that. I'm gonna hit hard on
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: the over like.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: Mcgamblin talk holloorreina hey loreaino.

  Speaker 5: Yeah, give me one of those. I'm gonna make a
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: whole little sound by give me one of those. You
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: want one of those?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: You can't have it?
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: You wrong mind. He has no idea what to tell
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: you that. They don't call him listening James, so they
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: call him hollering James or snoring James, the man of
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: many nicknames. James, you your fan favorite. People get upset
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: now when you you're awake. All right, let's play the game.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Here we go, James, you gotta get free rate. You
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: won this game fast asleep. That's when the legend of
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: hollering James went next level. That's when the legend you
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: became a superstar caller by sleeping. I would should be Floyd.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: It's a dated reference. All right, here we go now
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: I question number one, number one. All the answers are
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough? You gotta get three right
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: to win the game. Question one. Since seating began back
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five, number one seed has won the
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl twenty times. Is that too much or not enough?
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Not enough?
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: And that is correct? I believe it not twenty seven times?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Now as Seattle the latest team to do it. James,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: you are off to a one to oh star. Question
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: number two for hollering James. Drake May is the ten
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: quarterback to debut in the Super Bowl era and win
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: each of his first three career playoff starts. Is that
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: too much or not enough? Too much? All rightlet's find
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: out here that's wrong? Not enough. He is the fourteenth
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: quarterback to do it, But he is the only one
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to complete less than sixty percent of his passes in
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: all three starts and turn the ball over seven times
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: via fumble. Question number three for hollering James, Only that's right.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Only nine players. Only nine players in NBA history average
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: three or more steels made per game, three or more
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: steels per game? Is that too much or not enough?
