• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Our lead is not from the NBA.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: We had a historical night though at the Mecca in Manhattan,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: as the celebrities were out, many of them getting older,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: not a lot of younger celebrities, but they were out
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: enjoying themselves a night in the garden, and the skunk
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: at the garden party turned out to be The Spurs
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: had a twenty nine point lead, the greatest choke job
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: in the history of that sport in the NBA Finals.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to Wemby. That is a legacy game. That stank
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: is going to be on you for some time. Wenby,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: you might want to go back to the park and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: draw some more statues.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: That was bad.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: So the Knicks are now a win away and it
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: appears that Saturday they have three chances to win one game.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, it's still possible for them to blow this series.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It's not over.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Although the way the Spurs looked body language wise, it
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: pretty much over see if they can rally back in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: San Antonio that next game on Saturday.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: We will not be on Saturday night, so that means
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: we will.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Be free of having to break down that game until Sunday,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: if it's even worthy of our time.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Sunday to Monday are.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Lead this hour, though, from Philadelphia we go where the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Eagles eat hey gee l eat, or as the mayor
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: spelled it, something different. Jalen Hurts. Jalen Hurts addressing the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: snuffle love igus in the room, what is that you ask?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: His first comments since A. J.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Brown was decommissioned by the Eagles and repackaged to the Patriots.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: His response to recent comments made by AJ Brown about
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the relationship cooling off the Arctic.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: So if you didn't see this, perhaps not.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: AJ had said that he and Hurts simply gruel part
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: over time. It's called AJ Brown, as sometimes happens in life,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: he said, and he noted they were closer when he
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: first joined the Eagles. Now Hurts was asked about that,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: he said, quote, I'm not in the place to challenge
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: anyone's perspective on anything.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: He said.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Now Hurts went on to acknowledge that from Brown's viewpoint,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they had drifted apart. You think Hurts was not invited
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to the wedding of aj Brown even though he's supposedly
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the godfather of his kid, one of his kids. Hurts
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he hey apped about having pride in what they achieved together,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl success and said nothing can take that away.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll see about that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: So he also want to it's time now to focus
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: on the new version of the Eagles and all that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So that is a good jumping off point. Let us
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: discuss the question Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts accepted AJ brown
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: story on their relationship getting into.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: The cool zone. So what is your instinct here?
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: I take I've got Smokey Bear, board game and doctor Vinnie,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: we are going to go Wowie Kazawi, Wowie Kazwi, and
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: then we're gonna have some gabaghul and some babago.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Now to kick off here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Look, Jalen Hurts making a lot of money quarterback for
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. He's also moonlighting for the US Forest
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Service as a wild land firefighter. I've determined that my
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: gut tells me that he didn't really accept Jalen Hurts
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: did not accept AJ Brown's version of events. He absorbed
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: it like a fire blanket. You feel me on that,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Like this is the NFL's version of no, No, I'm fine, really,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it's fine.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: And if you're in a relationship with a woman and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a woman says everything's fine, the house is on fire,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the house is on fire, it's not. It's not obviously,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: So this AJ Brown story is an active wildfire and
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and his crew just established control lines trying
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to prevent.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: The further spread of the fire.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And so Jalen's out there doing this PSA like he's
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Smoky Bear saying only you can prevent AJ brown questions
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: by not answering them.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: So this is a.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Strict crisis containment. This is not some kind of confession
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: like AJ Brown was right, He's not adding oxygen to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the blaze that's already jumped the ridge and is heading
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: up I ninety five to AJ Brown's locker with the Patriots.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Jalen was not was not answering a question. He was
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: digging a containment trench around said question. So think of
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it like he parachuted in from a helicopter and he
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: came down there and actually I guess from a plane
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: and then stomped out the flames and got out just
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: before the wind shifted, just in the nick of time.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So it's pr suppression at its finess. You be asked
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: any question, you don't have to answer the question.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You can just move on.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Now furthermore to Cleveland, and something happened for the first
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: time in two years. And it was not somebody yodling
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: at Browns camp. No quarterback Deshaun Watson. Yep, that Deshaun Watson,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: the connoisseur of the massage.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: They're not a massagery Deshaun Watson.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: He spoke to reporters after Mini camp this.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Week, saying, quote, it's very important to get an opportunity
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to start. Of course, everyone says that he missed all
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of last season as his achilles has both now two
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: times pop pop goes the achilles.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: He described himself as fully healthy, Watson said, noting that
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: he hadn't felt one hundred percent since a shoulder injury
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, and he's grown patient. Doctors would argue,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: if you've popped your achilles twice, you will never be
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent again.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Now, Watson the key part of this, the money part
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: of the quote.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: He was asked he hadn't spoken to the media in
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a couple of years, so he was asked about owner
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Haslam, who famously said last season that Deshaun Watson's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: trade from the Texans was a big saw wing an
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a miss.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Uh saw wing anemiss did not make contact.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Now, Watson, when asked about that, said, of the we
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: have his art, Well we have it. So let's hear
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: what Watson had to say about the relationship again. The
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: owner of the Brown said big swing and a miss.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Here is what Watson said.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, the relationship is great. I mean, indeed, Jimmy,
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: they're at my wedding. We talk all the time. He
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: calls me whenever you know, it happens and things like that.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: You know, one of my favorite baseball players that I've
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: been watching is Bryce Harper. Sometimes he swings, but he
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: stands back up and he gets an opportunity. It's all run,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: so you never know what the opportunity might show up.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: And that's what I have right now.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I like the fact at the beginning, can we play
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: this by again? At the beginning, you could hear the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: bus literally running over Deshaun Watson as he was talking.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You could hear relationship is great, man, there is watch
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: after shot.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Jimmy, you're at my wedding?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: We never oh right, all right, all right?
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: And he used the Bryce Harper analogy. Wonderful, al right,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: question where are you at? Where are you at? On
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson ending his media boycott to soft.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Pedal the comments made by the Browns owner.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: So here's another example of some manipulation going on. This
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: was not so much a news conference. It was a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: cleanup on Ile two.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Hundred and thirty million. It was Isle two hundred thirty million.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: There's a cleanup.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: We need a mop and a bucket on Ile two
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: hundred thirty million. Watson playing a board game. What board
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: game is he playing? That would be called trivial pursuit
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: as he's trying to trivialize, trivialize being called a saw
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: wing and amiss by the owner of the Browns. And
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he's like, oh, the relationship with owner Jimmy Haslum is strong.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Of course it is.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Watson has cashed every one of those checks, direct deposit,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: spend the money, every single check, chuck ching Chuck Chang
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Chi Ching. You look at Watson now, at this point
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: in his career, He's in the final year of a
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: fully guaranteed, astronomical contract that the Browns knew what they
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: were getting into, and they're so obtuse over there, They're
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: so clueless they signed up anyway. Since joining the Browns
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty two via a massive trade that
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: cost three first round picks and all you people love
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: your draft capital, Shaun Watson has played nineteen more games
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: than you have, and he's missed time because of suspension
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: for being the creepy quarterback and injuries, and under any
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: reasonable measurement, any reasonable measurement, Deshaun Watson has not only
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: been a quarterback, he's been absolute rubbish rubbish. This is
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the Mona Lisa of bad investments, is what it is.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: And now you look at it, and Watson is trapped
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: in this alleged quarterback competition with second year player Shadur Sanders,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: who also is a If he was a wrestler, his
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: name would be el Stinko the Wrestler. And Cleveland's quarterback
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: room is a coin flip where both sides are bent,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: all right, and you've got decaying seaweed on one side
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: and sweaty jym clothes on the other.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's quite the competition, all right.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Last thing, we go to Boston now talks in baseball
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: where Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, who hasn't pitched in
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a big league game since back in April April twenty fifth,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and he was placed on the Angel List my birthday
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: April twenty ninth.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Happy birthday to me on April twenty nine, and with.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: What was described at the time as a very low
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: grade left lat string.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Initially it was like a shoulder inflammation and all that. Well,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: now we can update the story.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: And if you've not been following along, this is the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: mother of all quotes. Crochet told The Globe that the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: injury is quote a lot worse than we thought. He
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: last threw a simulated game on May twenty sixth, that's
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: over two weeks ago, and he felt a little bit.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Of a squeeze, a little tightness there.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: When asked about a timeline for even playing catch again,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Garrett Crochet said, quote, I have no idea. All right,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Chad Tracy. I was a fan of his dad, Jim Tracy.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Chad Tracy, the interim Red Sox manager said further testing
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: is scheduled later this week. So they're continuing to run
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: him through the many, many medical people that are getting
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: paid and laughing all the way to the bank. Okay,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: So the question on this one, You've got Red Sox
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: ace Garrett Crochet, who said his back injury is quote
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a lot worse than originally thought. So how are you
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: interpreting these comments and the timing of these comments. So
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Crochet just walked up to the podium during this case
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: to the Beat writer and he dropped a full blown indictment,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: a referendum on the Red Sox as they are completely
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: incinerated on a nightly basis here or a day basis.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Got lost again yesterday and after the team.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I always laugh at the initial reports in New York
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Aaron Judge when he initially was out of the Anche lineup.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: They said he'll be out a couple of days and
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: he'll be back. It's just precautionary, and then he's gonna
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: be out to August. So I remember I was on
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: the night Garrett Crochet got heart I believe it was against
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the Minnesota Twins, got absolutely shelled by the Twins and
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: we were on and I said, well that they're saying
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: it's just a kind of a minor thing. Want to
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: bet on that? Yeah, good luck. The team called it
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a low grade injury they expected. When Crochet went out,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: they said, I'll be back soon. It's quick return. And
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: now Crochet is basically pointing the finger at the medical
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: staff for the Red Sox and said them them over there, them.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: He pushed the training staff onto the live hand grenade.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: There you go, enjoy that live hand.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Grenade, using the training staff as a human shield, by
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: saying his injury is far worse than originally thought.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: So this is a dog pile, is what this is.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: He's basically hinted that the person in charge of the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Red Sox training department is like doctor Vinnie Boombats at
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: this point, and they could not diagnose a sunburn. And now,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: but wait, there's more. The one hundred and seventy million
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: dollar ACE is now on the sixty day Nautilus. The
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: used to be the DL, now it's the IL and
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: then that'll be offensive and they'll change it again. There's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: no end date. This is open ended. He's on the
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Siberian Express. There's no end date. And again that's not
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: low grade. That is a semester abroad. Sixty days is
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: a semester abroad. And after signing a six year deal,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he started this season for the for the Socks three
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and three with an urn run average of over six
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And again, what do I know? I just see the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: overnight show. That doesn't seem very good. So the Red Sox, now,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: they're not cursed. They're in last place. They're not cursed.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They're just bad. They're bad at diagnosing injuries. They appear
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to be bad at developing minor league blue chip players.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: They're bad at deploying the offense and delivering wins. Other
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: than that, everything's fine. Every they're howling success as they
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: are wandering through a corn maze, the Boston Red Sox
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: holding a lit match, wondering why everything smells like popcorn?
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Where's the butter?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Where's the butter?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahlor Show. And we were a
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: little behind on the World Cup. Pick them, a little.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: Bit behind in the World Cup, pick them.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: So we we're gonna have to go rapid fire if
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: you would like to be representing the people.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: As we've got the hopper. Here we go.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: There.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: It is the hopper, hop on, hop off the hopper.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: We do have a reper I'm told we do have
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: a representative for the World Cup. Pick them, so we're
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: gonna run through that when I think we have four rounds.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Our math was a little off on this. I did
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: not use Malard math. I used back of the napkin math,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: and that's why we're a little off. So we'll get
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to the World Cup. Pick them as it is beginning.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Do you have the soccer fever? Do you need some
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: medicine because you got the soccer fever.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Also, in addition to that, we have there's a couple
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: of goofy World Cup stores. I don't know, I have
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: time to get to them, but including.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: One place that people could be fined for putting a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: flag up from the World Cup. That seems kind of odd. Anyway,
• 19:11
