1:09
Speaker 1: Here in hour number one, we react to the story
1:13
Speaker 1: in the NBA is Sons owner Matt Ishbia said NBA
1:18
Speaker 1: tanking is losing behavior done by losers. We give our
1:22
Speaker 1: takeaway on that, also thumbs up or thumbs down on
1:27
Speaker 1: Sun's owner Matt Ishbia's claim that tanking is much worse
1:32
Speaker 1: than the NBA prop bet scandal, which they've also been
1:35
Speaker 1: dealing with, and our Adam Silver's plans to combat tanking.
1:39
Speaker 1: Going to fix the NBA problem, A bunch of rules
1:43
Speaker 1: have been tossed out. We'll talk about all of those
1:45
Speaker 1: things and more right now as we do the hustle
1:49
Speaker 1: in our number one cranking up the old sundial, if
1:58
Speaker 1: you will welcome in, not be getting of another night
2:04
Speaker 1: of the band Maelor show. We are in the air
2:08
Speaker 1: a rewhere waddling as we are your daily dose of Denis.
2:16
Speaker 1: She also takes coast to coast, border, the border and
2:19
Speaker 1: beyond on the mast and stylishly powerful microphones of FSR
2:26
Speaker 1: am monating a do It live from the War the
2:31
Speaker 1: War of Words from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
2:37
Speaker 1: as approved by Pickford and not a burner who remind
2:42
Speaker 1: us that this hour made possible in part by our
2:45
Speaker 1: friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years, ti Iraq
2:49
Speaker 1: has been helping customers like Alf the Alien, Opineter, Fergdog
2:53
Speaker 1: and Mallard prop Guy find the right tires for how,
2:57
Speaker 1: what and where they drive ship fast and free back
3:00
Speaker 1: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
3:05
Speaker 1: mobile tire installation, tire act dot Com the way tire
3:09
Speaker 1: buying should be. So the load management is not over.
3:16
Speaker 1: But the guess. The NBA decided to play basketball again
3:18
Speaker 1: and they had some nationally televised games. The New York Knicks,
3:23
Speaker 1: the softy Knicks, got beaten by the Pistons, who have
3:26
Speaker 1: the top record in the NBA. The Detroit Pistons have
3:29
Speaker 1: the top record in the NBA. There was that in
3:32
Speaker 1: the great effort by the Golden State Warriors there just
3:35
Speaker 1: tremendous got their ass handed to them by the Boston
3:38
Speaker 1: Celtics in one of the other featured games. And the
3:41
Speaker 1: People's team, the Clippers getting her done, get ner done
3:45
Speaker 1: with trading away two of their key players. No matter
3:48
Speaker 1: how about the Nuggets. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing for the
3:52
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets, but we're not gonna talk about that. The
3:53
Speaker 1: story here continues to be about things other than the
3:59
Speaker 1: actual games themselves. So our lead this out. We're gonna
4:02
Speaker 1: go to the Valley of the Sun indirectly some spicy words,
4:06
Speaker 1: and we love spicy words from the oligarch of the
4:10
Speaker 1: cat guy. Yes, if you didn't see this, perhaps you
4:14
Speaker 1: missed it. So Matt Ishbia, you might not know who
4:16
Speaker 1: that is. He's just a random rich dude who bought
4:18
Speaker 1: her basketball team. He owns the Suns. It's Matt with
4:22
Speaker 1: one T. I guess the family could not afford the
4:24
Speaker 1: other T. So Matt Ishbia sounding off on social media
4:30
Speaker 1: over the long standing issue has been going on for
4:33
Speaker 1: a while, but it's been in the spot like the
4:35
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks here that they finally realized they
4:39
Speaker 1: have a problem the NBA, that half the teams in
4:42
Speaker 1: their business are not trying to win games. And you
4:46
Speaker 1: had people come out and endorse this and also anyway,
4:49
Speaker 1: matt Isshbia get to the point place, all right, So
4:51
Speaker 1: to get to the point, Matt Isshbia, the Sun's owner
4:53
Speaker 1: there called the idea of tanking, the losing behavior done
4:58
Speaker 1: by losers, is what he said, and he also went
5:02
Speaker 1: on to say it's much worse than any prop bet scandal, which, oh,
5:07
Speaker 1: by the way, the NBA's got that going too. So
5:12
Speaker 1: it's they're talking about spinning plates here. I got a
5:15
Speaker 1: lot going on, So it's good jumping off point. Let
5:17
Speaker 1: us discuss. Let's start with the first part of that
5:19
Speaker 1: and then we'll work our way through it. So the
5:21
Speaker 1: question for the panel, and you're part of that, you're
5:25
Speaker 1: part of the panel, how did you react to the
5:29
Speaker 1: Sun's owner guy was an NBA team here, Matteshbia saying
5:33
Speaker 1: that NBA tanking is losing behavior done by losers. So
5:39
Speaker 1: I've got trojan antibiotic resistant and forty seven page manual,
5:46
Speaker 1: and we will combine all of these things together and
5:49
Speaker 1: we're gonna literally jump through hoops. We're gonna do the
5:52
Speaker 1: hula hoop is what we're gonna do. So A, I
5:56
Speaker 1: gotta tell you, all right, this is sometimes you tack
5:58
Speaker 1: here and you know, like, okay, I'll talk that this
6:00
Speaker 1: I'm interested in. If I were to pick an emoji
6:03
Speaker 1: for this, I would pick the heart emoji. I loved it.
6:06
Speaker 1: I loved it, I loved it. I need that pumping
6:08
Speaker 1: in my veins. I love rich Guy on rich Guy
6:11
Speaker 1: crime right, owner and owner crime so good. Matt Ashbia,
6:15
Speaker 1: the Son's owner. There at some point he's gonna have
6:18
Speaker 1: to face all these other owners. Of course, they don't
6:20
Speaker 1: call him owners because Raymond Green got upset, so they
6:22
Speaker 1: have to call him Governor's which is the dumbest thing
6:24
Speaker 1: you could possibly do it. Anyway, Mattishbia is going to
6:28
Speaker 1: walk in with the other owners. I said it. Oh
6:30
Speaker 1: my god, you said it. You call them owners, Oh
6:32
Speaker 1: my god. Anyway, Ishbi is gonna walk into the NBA cartel,
6:37
Speaker 1: that smokey back room where all the rich oligarchs get together,
6:41
Speaker 1: and after he just ripped half of the League of
6:47
Speaker 1: Professional Bouncy Ball, calling them essentially bumps, eurobum, eurobum eurobum,
6:54
Speaker 1: calling out teams like the Pacers, the Kings, the Jazz,
6:58
Speaker 1: the Wizards, all dead wood, the Deadwood brigade of the NBA,
7:04
Speaker 1: and also giving a body blow to Mark Cuban, the
7:09
Speaker 1: anti Mark Cuban. Remember Cuban, the guy that owned the Mavericks,
7:13
Speaker 1: loved the Mavericks, identified as the Maverick Guy, got all
7:16
Speaker 1: these other gigs as he owned the Mavericks. Then sold
7:19
Speaker 1: the Mavericks, but still pretends like he owns the team,
7:23
Speaker 1: and he's the guy that wanted the NBA to embrace
7:25
Speaker 1: the tank. He wants that business to embrace the tank.
7:29
Speaker 1: Well it should be. The Suns owner said hell no,
7:33
Speaker 1: and good for him, right. And the whole tank thing
7:35
Speaker 1: is like it's putting a raccoon in the pantry and
7:39
Speaker 1: having the raccoon just toss the food around. If you
7:43
Speaker 1: tank to get the number one pick overall in the draft,
7:47
Speaker 1: the draft becomes a trojan horse, is what it becomes,
7:53
Speaker 1: because you're not most of the time, you're not going
7:55
Speaker 1: to get the number one pick. And then secondly, even
7:58
Speaker 1: when you do get the number one pick, not all
8:01
Speaker 1: of them turn out to be that great. The idea
8:04
Speaker 1: that oh you're guaranteed, Oh my god, no, not the case. Right,
8:08
Speaker 1: So it's a trojan horse to the soul of the
8:11
Speaker 1: game is what it is, It truly is, and it's
8:15
Speaker 1: it's malware. It's software that looks useful but rots the
8:20
Speaker 1: hard drive is what it is. And the NBA is
8:22
Speaker 1: dealing with that right now. And by the way, Matt
8:24
Speaker 1: Ishbia is a man of his word. He's not just
8:26
Speaker 1: talking to talk he's walking the walk. The Sun's dumped
8:30
Speaker 1: control of every first round pick to twenty thirty two.
8:35
Speaker 1: It seems like it's far away, but if you look
8:37
Speaker 1: at the calendar, it's like six years away. It's not
8:40
Speaker 1: that far anyway. He's living the FM picks, F them picks,
8:45
Speaker 1: F them picks lifestyle. You don't this canna blow you away.
8:50
Speaker 1: You don't have to suck to put a competitive team
8:53
Speaker 1: on the court.
8:54
Speaker 2: Oh you know what you're talking about. That's what you're
8:56
Speaker 2: doing overnights. Oh my god, shut up, you lose there.
9:01
Speaker 2: There's more than one way to peel an orange. This
9:03
Speaker 2: is gonna really shock you, and I hope you're okay.
9:06
Speaker 2: You know, there is a way where you can actually
9:08
Speaker 2: develop talent. You can find hidden gems.
9:12
Speaker 1: Oh no, you can't, what's wrong with you? Yeah? You
9:16
Speaker 1: can actually use some old fashioned coaching. There's this term
9:18
Speaker 1: called coaching them up instead of just praying to the
9:22
Speaker 1: ping pong gods. It's ridiculous. I need the ping pong ball. No,
9:28
Speaker 1: you don't need. No.
9:29
Speaker 3: No.
9:31
Speaker 1: And so we are on the cancel the draft train.
9:36
Speaker 1: We are on that train right now. I don't think
9:37
Speaker 1: that's going to happen. We would like that to happen.
9:40
Speaker 1: That is the doomsday scenario. Now, riding the narrative wave
9:44
Speaker 1: that we're already on right now and turning the page two,
9:47
Speaker 1: so parsing the words, we'd like to parse the words,
9:51
Speaker 1: and we go back to the Sun's owner the question
9:55
Speaker 1: thumbs up or thumbs down. Thumbs up, thumbs down on
10:00
Speaker 1: the Sun's owner Matt Ashbia and his claim that tanking
10:04
Speaker 1: is much worse than the NBA's prop bet scandal. So
10:10
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go thumbs up on this. I agree with
10:14
Speaker 1: them on this too. We're two for two. Good take,
10:16
Speaker 1: good take day by the Sun's owner. We're two for two. Now,
10:19
Speaker 1: if you had to pick one of these, knife to
10:22
Speaker 1: your throat and you had to pick one, I'm gonna
10:25
Speaker 1: ride with Mattieshbia on this one, and the rest of
10:28
Speaker 1: you are stuck in the slow lane and I'm riding
10:30
Speaker 1: in the fast And here's why. Let me tell you why.
10:32
Speaker 1: Because on one side, yeah, there's no way that predicting
10:39
Speaker 1: or not predicting fixing these prop bets is good. Right,
10:42
Speaker 1: You've got mobsters involved, you've got point shaving goblins in
10:46
Speaker 1: the shadows and all that that's bad to the bone,
10:49
Speaker 1: bad bad to the bone. However, when you use the
10:53
Speaker 1: Mallard microscope, you get the Mallard microscope out the prop
10:57
Speaker 1: fix on a rebound prop over under or a point
11:02
Speaker 1: total prop or whatever that might be. That is what's
11:05
Speaker 1: called a contained outbreak. It's like a controlled burn. It's
11:10
Speaker 1: controlled burn. Now, it contained outbreak. It only bleeds the
11:15
Speaker 1: bookies and the degenerates that are betting a lot of
11:18
Speaker 1: money on props, right that a small percentage of those
11:22
Speaker 1: that consume the product. Tanking, though, is not just an eyesore.
11:27
Speaker 1: It's not just an eyesore. It is an antibiotic resistant
11:32
Speaker 1: staph infection, is what it is. It's a staff infection
11:35
Speaker 1: that can kill you. It damages every single person that
11:39
Speaker 1: buys a ticket. It kills your TV audience. Nobody wants
11:43
Speaker 1: to watch bad basketball teams that aren't trying. People know
11:46
Speaker 1: when they're not trying. And it gives you. Apathy is
11:51
Speaker 1: what it gives you. It's the deadliest thing in all
11:54
Speaker 1: of sport, is apathy. But you just don't care. You
11:57
Speaker 1: just don't care. And you said, well, yeah but yeah,
12:00
Speaker 1: bit yeah butit yeah butit yeah bit yeah butit yeah
12:02
Speaker 1: butit yeab it No, it's the abbot rabbit. So you go, yeah,
12:04
Speaker 1: but oh no, no, just give it a couple of years.
12:07
Speaker 1: They'll get that top pic and everyone will come back.
12:09
Speaker 1: When you know, people find other things to do, and
12:11
Speaker 1: they're like, it's a lot cheaper. I'm not gonna get
12:13
Speaker 1: my you know what handed me when I when I
12:15
Speaker 1: watch this team, I have to pay for this thing
12:17
Speaker 1: and that thing and what you're gonna call it and
12:18
Speaker 1: all that, and they don't come back. And I know
12:22
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys around my age, we were all
12:24
Speaker 1: huge sportsmans, loved sports right and a good number of
12:30
Speaker 1: my some of my closest friends growing up, they don't
12:32
Speaker 1: like sports anymore. They don't like what sports has become.
12:36
Speaker 1: They don't like the greed, they don't like the attitudes
12:40
Speaker 1: in sports, and so they just stop and they're not
12:42
Speaker 1: going back. And they're like, you're still doing that sports. Yeah,
12:45
Speaker 1: I do the sports. Oh I used to like sports.
12:47
Speaker 1: I used to like sports. And that's the danger. And
12:50
Speaker 1: so so idiots don't understand this. They're not that smart.
12:53
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand you wouldn't understand how that
12:55
Speaker 1: all works. But it's a massive, massive issue. And in
13:00
Speaker 1: this life, you either work hard, in life, you work hard,
13:04
Speaker 1: you save your money and try to make something better.
13:07
Speaker 1: Or in the NBA mindset, which is everywhere right now,
13:10
Speaker 1: you just go down to the casino, you pray for
13:14
Speaker 1: green double zero, and you spin the roulette wheel. Tanking
13:18
Speaker 1: is the NBA's roulette wheel, and it creates a culture
13:21
Speaker 1: of apathy that smells like a nice dumpster after a
13:26
Speaker 1: weekend at the state Fair on a Sunday afternoon. What house?
13:34
Speaker 1: Whose house? The crap house? Yes, nauseating all right, now,
13:37
Speaker 1: last word. So there is a new revelation on this topic,
13:42
Speaker 1: the tanking topic of the day, and Commissioner Adam Silver
13:48
Speaker 1: high ho Silver, Adam Silver and his minions from planet
13:55
Speaker 1: but dunka dunka dunka dunka dunka outside the cosmos, outside
13:58
Speaker 1: the milky Way. There, so Adam Silver and his people,
14:04
Speaker 1: the other lizard people are considering a gaggle, a gaggle
14:09
Speaker 1: of changes to put a choke hold on the end
14:13
Speaker 1: of the tank. And you're just gonna get rid of
14:17
Speaker 1: the not the lotter, You're gonna get rid of it.
14:19
Speaker 1: You're gonna change it. So if you didn't see this one,
14:21
Speaker 1: as we understand, at the NBA it's not locked in yet,
14:24
Speaker 1: but the plan is next season they will freeze lottery
14:27
Speaker 1: odds at the trade deadline or a later date. And
14:30
Speaker 1: that's just the tip of the spear. But wait, there's more.
14:33
Speaker 1: Only allowing first rounders to have top top four or
14:38
Speaker 1: top fourteen plus protection, so you're gonna limit the protections
14:41
Speaker 1: on that. You're going to block teams from selecting in
14:44
Speaker 1: the top four in consecutive years. That's called the long suck,
14:48
Speaker 1: not to short suck, the long suck or after consecutive
14:52
Speaker 1: bottom three finishes. It is interesting to note that Major
14:55
Speaker 1: League Baseball has that essentially that rule in there Chicago
15:00
Speaker 1: White Sox. If you're a baseball fan, a couple years ago,
15:02
Speaker 1: I had like the worst record in a long time
15:05
Speaker 1: and they could not get the number one pick because
15:08
Speaker 1: of the rules that Baseball put in. But preventing teams
15:13
Speaker 1: from having a top four pick a year after reaching
15:16
Speaker 1: the conference finals, Hello Indiana Pacers, ding ding ding ding
15:20
Speaker 1: ding ding ding ding ding. Moving lottery odds to records
15:25
Speaker 1: over a two year period rather than only for the
15:28
Speaker 1: previous season, all that one's just going to encourage long
15:30
Speaker 1: term suck playing tournament teams that for Gaysey Playing tournament
15:35
Speaker 1: that they have because Adam Silver got a you know what,
15:38
Speaker 1: I got a rash and thought that was a good idea.
15:40
Speaker 1: So the play tournament teams would also be included in
15:42
Speaker 1: the draft lottery, and so they would flatten the lottery
15:45
Speaker 1: odds for all the team's question. Here's the question. Are
15:49
Speaker 1: Adam Silver's plans to combat tanking going to fix the
15:55
Speaker 1: NBA's problem. The rules that have been laid out, I
15:58
Speaker 1: only gave you some of them. There are other rule
16:00
Speaker 1: I did not have time to get to. You can
16:02
Speaker 1: look them up on your own. Are Adam Silver's plants
16:05
Speaker 1: You're going to going to work to fix tanking? So
16:07
Speaker 1: I am shaking my head.
16:09
Speaker 4: No.
16:10
Speaker 1: With my eyes closed here, I'm shaking my head. No,
16:13
Speaker 1: no chance. If you need this is a malar truism.
16:17
Speaker 1: If you need a forty seven page manual to stop
16:22
Speaker 1: teams from trying to lose, you've got a much bigger
16:27
Speaker 1: problem on your hands right now. They've got a pre
16:29
Speaker 1: existing condition. As we've talked about for forty plus years,
16:32
Speaker 1: the NBA has preached that the draft lottery is the
16:36
Speaker 1: pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You
16:39
Speaker 1: created the monster that's your baby, Frankenstein. You indoctrinated every
16:44
Speaker 1: coach GM and all these cats, and these guys that
16:48
Speaker 1: were not even a lot of them weren't even alive
16:51
Speaker 1: when the lottery started. I had a lot of young
16:53
Speaker 1: cats out there coaching in GM and all that stuff,
16:56
Speaker 1: or they were little kids when the lottery started. In
17:00
Speaker 1: you've led everyone to believe this is the only strategy.
17:03
Speaker 1: That's it. You train them to chase ping pong balls,
17:06
Speaker 1: that's all they know. And of course, now what's Adam
17:09
Speaker 1: Silver's answer. Bureaucracy, more and more layers, more and more layers.
17:16
Speaker 1: It's like Congress. It will solve all of life's problems
17:20
Speaker 1: with laws because people follow laws. Oh wait a minute,
17:24
Speaker 1: bad people don't follow laws. Okay, got it. Okay, So
17:28
Speaker 1: you're gonna put these rules in and the teams that
17:30
Speaker 1: are not trying to tank, okay, we'll follow the rules.
17:33
Speaker 1: But the teams that are trying to tank, they're gonna
17:34
Speaker 1: find new ways to circumvent the system there. And that's
17:37
Speaker 1: the way it goes. And so when I see these rules,
17:39
Speaker 1: I just yawn. I stretch and I yawn. And this
17:43
Speaker 1: is the walk of shame that you actually need to
17:47
Speaker 1: legislate or attempt to legislate, effort and trying to win
17:50
Speaker 1: the game. A statute, by the way, is not a
17:53
Speaker 1: force field. It is a boundary marker, as we said,
17:56
Speaker 1: right so, and you know and I know that nerd
17:59
Speaker 1: Army they're already coding up new ways to bend the system.
18:04
Speaker 1: Is there, Well, we can get around this rule. We
18:07
Speaker 1: have to win this number of games, and then the
18:09
Speaker 1: next year we can lose this number and then we'll
18:12
Speaker 1: be in good shape there. But either way, this wave
18:14
Speaker 1: of rules, it's not about integrity. It's about business partners
18:22
Speaker 1: and that's gambling with the capital. Do we like gambling.
18:25
Speaker 1: We support gambling. We think adults should be able to
18:28
Speaker 1: do that for recreational purposes. And you bet a little bit,
18:32
Speaker 1: don't go out of your means. It's something you can
18:34
Speaker 1: do as a grown up. It's fun and you know
18:37
Speaker 1: going in you're not going to probably win much, but
18:39
Speaker 1: maybe you'll win a little bit and that's all you need.
18:41
Speaker 1: But if betters think, if the casual better thinks that
18:46
Speaker 1: the game is being manipulated and they don't know how
18:49
Speaker 1: it's being manipulated and they can't figure it out, and
18:52
Speaker 1: they lose money, on it. Then eventually the handle dries up.
18:56
Speaker 1: That's the amount of money that's wagered, and then that's
18:59
Speaker 1: a sintally the butcher knife. The gambling houses are like,
19:02
Speaker 1: why are we spending all this money on advertising and
19:05
Speaker 1: all this what's the point. You just took a butcher
19:08
Speaker 1: knife to our heart. It doesn't seem like a good,
19:11
Speaker 1: good business that we want to be part of. So
19:14
Speaker 1: what are you doing? It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
19:18

19:40
Speaker 1: teams in professional sports has decided they are going to

Speaker 1: a heavy pro bouncy ball Mallard monologue and much to
22:55
Speaker 1: the chagrin of those that regularly said what are you doing, dude,
23:00
Speaker 1: see a message here from a guy saying, actually, we
23:01
Speaker 1: have talked about the figure skating at the Olympics. And
23:04
Speaker 1: if you think that I was going to do a
23:06
Speaker 1: deep dive on the figure skating Olympics, so you got
23:09
Speaker 1: the wrong short, pal, You got the wrong short pal.
23:12
Speaker 1: That's a yeah, that's not there would have to be.
23:17
Speaker 1: I don't want to date myself, but let's just say
23:19
Speaker 1: I might have been on the radio when some figure
23:21
Speaker 1: skater got attacked by a goon. Now that was a
23:25
Speaker 1: good story. That was hot sports talk. That was hot
23:30
Speaker 1: detrot sports talk. Now, if you give me one of
23:32
Speaker 1: those stories, I'll talk some I'll talk figure skating. I
23:35
Speaker 1: will absolutely break down figures. That's a good story. That's
23:38
Speaker 1: a that's a crime story, a mystery story. That's a
23:41
Speaker 1: wonderful story. If I don't get that, I don't think.
23:44
Speaker 1: I don't think I want to go there. I don't
23:45
Speaker 1: think I want to go there. Although I did see
23:47
Speaker 1: a little bit of the there was a women's hockey game.
23:49
Speaker 1: Kenny Albert, friend of the show, The Great Kenny Albert there,
23:53
Speaker 1: one of the few NBC broadcast NBC broadcasters they actually
23:56
Speaker 1: flew over to Milan for the Olympics. Most of them
23:59
Speaker 1: are not there. They're doing it from a studio in Connecticut,
24:02
Speaker 1: but they he was there doing the play by play
24:04
Speaker 1: and all that. About that pretty cool coming up in
24:06
Speaker 1: a few minutes, A very popular sports franchise in North America,
24:10
Speaker 1: their fan base getting the screw job. And I love it.
24:14
Speaker 1: I love it. Levitt, Levett, Levett, Levett. Be careful what
24:19
Speaker 1: you wish for, kids, Be careful what you wish for.
24:23
Speaker 1: Let's go to the social media cloud and what do
24:26
Speaker 1: we have to page down? Scrooge says. So yesterday's show,
24:32
Speaker 1: Michael Leprecaun said he was the worst caller. Scrooge is
24:36
Speaker 1: in the Younger Demo in the year Shuck he's in
24:40
Speaker 1: the Bay Area a Jason. I guess anyway, he says.
24:42
Speaker 1: Yesterday show Michael Leprecaun said he was the worst caller.
24:46
Speaker 1: You're the worst five casts. Does this count as a list, Scrooge,
24:49
Speaker 1: because Terry and England haven't heard from Terry in a
24:51
Speaker 1: while if he's still listening. But Terry would get upset
24:53
Speaker 1: if it's a list, he said, Number five, Number five
24:57
Speaker 1: Gunner says Gunner is horrible. Number four is e Dog
25:03
Speaker 1: who hasn't called in a while from Long Island. E
25:06
Speaker 1: Dog is the fourth worst call in the show. Number
25:09
Speaker 1: three is hollering James. Number Yeah, James when awake is
25:16
Speaker 1: one of the worst callers on the show. It's interesting
25:21
Speaker 1: to note when James is sleeping he is considered one
25:24
Speaker 1: of the great callers in the show. You talk about
25:26
Speaker 1: a split personality as a caller. If he would only
25:30
Speaker 1: call up to sleep, he'd be an all time great caller.
25:33
Speaker 1: For some reason, he wants to talk about the Vikings
25:36
Speaker 1: or whatever, and it just ruins it. Mike the leprechot
25:38
Speaker 1: number two according to Screwed, How appropriate is that? And
25:43
Speaker 1: then number one the worst bot. Congratulations to Poppy in
25:48
Speaker 1: San Diego. Way to go, Way to go. That's the
25:54
Speaker 1: way it goes. Yeah, all right. Racer X says a
26:00
Speaker 1: trojan is not an antibiotic resistant to the forty seven
26:04
Speaker 1: page manual of how to tank in the NBA, although
26:06
Speaker 1: most likely will keep you from getting pregnant. There you go.
26:10
Speaker 1: Very funny. That's racer X paying close attention to the
26:14
Speaker 1: malor monologue, and for that we we thank you. Valls
26:19
Speaker 1: fan Jimmy, there's a legend. Valls fan Jimmy, who's been
26:23
Speaker 1: around many many years sent me a nice hat back
26:26
Speaker 1: in the day, says you should have tanked that monologue.
26:30
Speaker 1: Here we go. I'm telling you, these guys hate what
26:31
Speaker 1: they're triggered when I talk NBA. You should have tanked
26:34
Speaker 1: that monologue because it was horrible. NBA tanking for your
26:38
Speaker 1: opening monologue. Whoever your producer is should be fired. That's
26:41
Speaker 1: according to Jimmy Jordan right since says the NBA needs
26:46
Speaker 1: to drop the number of teams in the playoffs so
26:49
Speaker 1: the regular season matter again, go to best of nine
26:53
Speaker 1: playoff series to not lose playoff games, and invert the
26:58
Speaker 1: non playoff teams in the drafts so the best record
27:03
Speaker 1: to miss the get the gets the number one pick.
27:05
Speaker 1: They're easy, and Jordan is offering his services as the commissioner,
27:11
Speaker 1: says he'd be willing to be the commissioner of pro bouncetball.
27:14
Speaker 1: It is something that has been an issue for the NBA,
27:17
Speaker 1: and they keep adding teams to make the postseason. That
27:22
Speaker 1: whole playing thing that has been around for a couple
27:27
Speaker 1: of years now that that was the baby, that was
27:31
Speaker 1: the baby of Adam Silver. And it's like each team,
27:35
Speaker 1: each conference had eight teams, which was more than enough.
27:38
Speaker 1: And there were years even this goes back when Michael
27:41
Speaker 1: Jordan played for the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls made the
27:43
Speaker 1: playoffs and they had at least once or twice losing
27:48
Speaker 1: records early in Jordan's career that they made the playoffs
27:50
Speaker 1: because there was not enough good teams in these That
27:52
Speaker 1: was when they had eight. So now it's like, well,
27:54
Speaker 1: it's not really the plus. It's just like the twilight
27:57
Speaker 1: zone where you're not in the playoff, but you're not
28:00
Speaker 1: in the lottery. You know, you're in this weird area
28:04
Speaker 1: and and all that. So they really messed that thing up.
28:09
Speaker 1: What else we have page down here? What do we got?
28:13
Speaker 1: Michael writes, and he says, how does the long suck
28:17
Speaker 1: versus the short suck compared to the drive within LA
28:21
Speaker 1: the LA area daily to the drive from Phoenix or
28:25
Speaker 1: the drive to San France. Yes, I listened to the
28:28
Speaker 1: fifth Hour podcast there you go. Yeah, it's it's I've
28:34
Speaker 1: done both recently, the drive from LA to Phoenix and
28:37
Speaker 1: the drive from LA to San Francisco. And it's really
28:41
Speaker 1: it's in many ways it's similar. There's really nothing in
28:44
Speaker 1: between the big cities in California. It's just farmland. It's
28:48
Speaker 1: just Cal's Farton. That's all you got. You just close
28:51
Speaker 1: your windows because it's just cal Fartan all the way
28:53
Speaker 1: up I five through the Grapevine and you keep going
28:57
Speaker 1: up there, and you keep going and going and going.
28:59
Speaker 1: Then you get to go and you smell the garlic,
29:01
Speaker 1: which is just freaking great. Love the guard dude. That
29:03
Speaker 1: cow smell is so overwhelming though, it is terrible. Yeah,
29:06
Speaker 1: in the in central part of California, even if you
29:08
Speaker 1: turn the air off in your car, it still seeps in. Yeah,
29:12
Speaker 1: it's very powerful. It's almost like you can taste it.
29:16
Speaker 1: And there are people that live there, not not right
29:18
Speaker 1: next to the farms, but they live live off the
29:21
Speaker 1: Beaten Path, and then on the way to Arizona, there's
29:23
Speaker 1: literally nothing between Palm Springs. There's like one desert town
29:28
Speaker 1: in Arizona, and then there's nothing until you get to
29:32
Speaker 1: the first outlying I think it's good Year First Spring
29:36
Speaker 1: Training Town, which is kind of out on the outskirts
29:39
Speaker 1: of the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area. So, but thank you
29:42
Speaker 1: Michael for listening to the Fifth Hour podcast. I do
29:44
Speaker 1: appreciate that. It means a lot. You're you're a real
29:46

Speaker 1: pay it off. So a popular sports team sticking it
34:21
Speaker 1: to their loyal fans, and that would be the Los
34:25
Speaker 1: Angeles Lakers. Did you see this? Say? Developing story. So
34:30
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of messages on social media and
34:34
Speaker 1: on email from the historians as I like to call them,
34:38
Speaker 1: who were just shoving it into my face. They were
34:41
Speaker 1: so happy. They were aroused because Mark Walter, the guy
34:45
Speaker 1: that runs the Guggenheim Sports Division, and they owned the Dodgers,
34:50
Speaker 1: and this guy's buying the Lakers. He's got the Lakers now.
34:53
Speaker 1: Like Jeanie Buss sold out the family business. She sold
34:56
Speaker 1: out the Bus family business for ten billion dollars or whatever.
35:00
Speaker 1: After taxes in california's about two dollars. But Mark Walter
35:03
Speaker 1: bought the Lakers, and so they're taken over and they're
35:07
Speaker 1: whacking all these old time Lakers employees. I don't really
35:09
Speaker 1: care about that because that's usually what happens. However, the
35:13
Speaker 1: Lakers are reportedly increasing their season ticket prices by how much?
35:18
Speaker 1: What do you think? What percentage? You got a guess
35:20
Speaker 1: in your head. Okay the answer. The Lakers are said
35:25
Speaker 1: to be increasing their six season ticket prices by forty
35:30
Speaker 1: percent next season. Forty Keep on, They're not a championship team.
35:34
Speaker 1: They haven't won a championship since Kobe Bryant, and they're
35:37
Speaker 1: raising their champion their their ticket prices to forty by
35:41
Speaker 1: forty percent. A season ticket older posted online message he
35:45
Speaker 1: got from the Lakers said he's had tickets for the
35:48
Speaker 1: past ten years, and or he's posted stuff for the
35:52
Speaker 1: last ten years, and he has he says, has a
35:54
Speaker 1: seat in the last row down there on skid row
35:57
Speaker 1: at the Lakers Arena. And he says he he's about
36:00
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars for five tickets and he just got
36:05
Speaker 1: an invoice that they're raising it to by seven thousand dollars.
36:10
Speaker 1: If you do the math on that, you can figure
36:13
Speaker 1: it out. So yeah, Mark Walter, and this is the
36:16
Speaker 1: Dodgers of them the same thing. The Dodgers used to
36:18
Speaker 1: be the cheap, cheapest ticket in LA Sports, most family
36:22
Speaker 1: friendly team. They are the least family friendly team in
36:24
Speaker 1: all of LA Sports. They screw over their fan base,
36:26
Speaker 1: the Dodgers with the tickets and all that, and they win,
36:30
Speaker 1: and so people are okay with it and they reinvest
36:33
Speaker 1: the money and the team and all that. But they're not.
36:35
Speaker 1: They don't care about the fans in terms of, you know,
36:37
Speaker 1: having a affordable experience. They consider themselves a luxury item,
36:43
Speaker 1: and so as a luxury item, they want to screw
36:45
Speaker 1: over the fan base. And they have with the Dodgers,
36:48
Speaker 1: and they know the same thing with the Lakers. So
36:50
Speaker 1: enjoy that. Enjoy those increased ticket prices. Steve Balmer, who's
36:53
Speaker 1: got a ton of money, he's he hasn't stuck it
36:56
Speaker 1: to the Clipper fan base. I don't think they didn't
36:59
Speaker 1: raise Their ticket is forty percent in any season anyway.
37:03
Speaker 1: It is the Ben Mahler Show. Time now for the
37:06
Speaker 1: who am I game? Speaking of the Clippers, I'm embarrassing
37:10
Speaker 1: for the Nuggets. The Clippers traded two of their top
37:12
Speaker 1: players and still beat the Nuggets. And they beat them
37:15
Speaker 1: because Benedict Mathern off the Bench had thirty eight points
37:19
Speaker 1: off the bench, the first Clipper to have thirty five
37:22
Speaker 1: or more points in a game off the bench. Since me,
37:27
