0:43
Speaker 2: for the b block here in our number two. And

Speaker 2: customers like eat Dog from Long Island and blind Em
1:58
Speaker 2: at the Seahawks fan. I think those guys don't anymore.
2:00
Speaker 2: They don't find the right tires for how, what and where.
2:03
Speaker 2: They drive ship fast and free back by free road
2:07
Speaker 2: hazard protection which makes Uncle Moe in Jersey very happy,
2:13
Speaker 2: and with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation and
2:17
Speaker 2: I really saw man from Mississippi wants you to go
2:20
Speaker 2: to tire rack dot com the way tire buying should be.
2:24
Speaker 2: And we are back at it in the audio Dojoe
2:26
Speaker 2: on this Memorial Day weekend and we continue the Hot
2:31
Speaker 2: Talk last hour a flah a blog game in the NBA.
2:37
Speaker 2: In this hour we talk about something I love, one
2:40
Speaker 2: of my favorite punching bags in sports. The Beard. The Beard,
2:44
Speaker 2: the Beard, the Beard, Fear the Beard, Nobody fears the Beard,
2:48
Speaker 2: And what an amazing performance yet again over the weekend.
2:52
Speaker 2: So I lead this hour from Cleveland. I'm gonna tell
2:55
Speaker 2: you right now, we're gonna save the quote of the
2:57
Speaker 2: year for the B Block. We're saving the quote of
2:59
Speaker 2: the year for the B Block. We're gonna begin here.
3:02
Speaker 2: The New York Knickerbockers are on the brink of advancing
3:06
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals, where they will lose to San
3:09
Speaker 2: Antonio or Oklahoma City. That a different conversation, But New
3:13
Speaker 2: York leading the Eastern Conference Finals three nothing and they
3:17
Speaker 2: are on and not there's no momentum, but they're they're
3:20
Speaker 2: beating up a bunch of tomato cans here. They can
3:23
Speaker 2: put the final nail in the coffin on Monday night
3:26
Speaker 2: here and close it out. And yet again, though, the
3:29
Speaker 2: story of interest from this series continues to be in
3:32
Speaker 2: the barbershop and a guy that doesn't go to the
3:34
Speaker 2: barbershop that often, at least not to get a full
3:36
Speaker 2: shave the beard. The beard. If you haven't been following
3:40
Speaker 2: oh Man, hot Take validation Baby, So James Harden is
3:45
Speaker 2: getting absolutely charboiled critics and fans alike online and in
3:51
Speaker 2: the real world after multiple viral clips from Game three
3:55
Speaker 2: have made their way around the social media platforms. Now,
4:00
Speaker 2: for those of you that are blind, what do the
4:02
Speaker 2: clip show? Well, the multiple clips show during the Cavaliers
4:07
Speaker 2: loss to the Knickerbockers. It shows James Harden giving pretty
4:11
Speaker 2: much no effort on defense. It was five on four.
4:15
Speaker 2: I wonder how the next one. I don't know. They
4:17
Speaker 2: were on the power play, power play, power play, and
4:21
Speaker 2: key stretches of the second half. The footage is on
4:25
Speaker 2: brand for James Harden. It's ugly if you're unfamiliar with
4:28
Speaker 2: James Harden's skill. Several clips circulating around the world wide
4:33
Speaker 2: web show James Harden standing still defensively while the Knicks
4:40
Speaker 2: players are cutting behind him, rotating into open pre balls,
4:46
Speaker 2: or attacking the painted area for uncontested shots, all the
4:50
Speaker 2: things you know basketball is supposed to be about. Movement,
4:53
Speaker 2: constant movement, all that stuff. Yeah, Harden's like, well, I'm
4:57
Speaker 2: gonna save energy on that and on multi both possessions,
5:00
Speaker 2: James Harden appeared like he was locked onto the ball
5:04
Speaker 2: while completely losing track of his assignment off ball. He
5:08
Speaker 2: was paying attention, so Harden repeatedly failed to rotate. There
5:11
Speaker 2: was no movement. He didn't even bother to close out
5:14
Speaker 2: on shooters. Didn't even give a You know, some of
5:17
Speaker 2: these guys will give that fake effort where they kind
5:19
Speaker 2: of fake go out to stop the shoot. He didn't
5:21
Speaker 2: even do that. There was no effort to box out.
5:24
Speaker 2: Why would you box out, try to get near the
5:26
Speaker 2: rim get a rebound. Even when he did make some
5:30
Speaker 2: attempt to contest late, he often committed fouls instead of
5:34
Speaker 2: forcing difficult shots. It was a futile effort by James Harden.
5:39
Speaker 2: And that is a good jumping off point. So let
5:41
Speaker 2: us discuss the question, how do you explain James Harden's
5:46
Speaker 2: lack of performance, lack of effort for the calves in
5:51
Speaker 2: these games. So my observations, I've got home depot, gil
5:55
Speaker 2: Roy Garlic festival, and the lawnmower and blower sponsor ship,
6:01
Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together and
6:04
Speaker 2: we are going to play Connect three is what we're
6:07
Speaker 2: going to do. So number one, one, one, one, stop
6:18
Speaker 2: stop some all right, So some in Cleveland. I saw
6:22
Speaker 2: some of the reaction here there. I am shocked. Who
6:26
Speaker 2: could possibly be shocked? Tell me you don't know ball?
6:29
Speaker 2: Without telling me you don't know ball. If the overnight
6:31
Speaker 2: guy knows this was a dumb the dumb, dumb, dumb trade.
6:36
Speaker 2: Then why do the people in the sport claim to
6:39
Speaker 2: not know I. They act like they bought the mystery
6:42
Speaker 2: box instead of a product with a fifteen year instruction
6:47
Speaker 2: manual printed in bold font that we know what the
6:50
Speaker 2: product is. James Harden is giving the Cavs GM Kobe
6:54
Speaker 2: Autman exactly what the packaging promised. No false advertising, that's it.
7:01
Speaker 2: He'll score some points early for you, he'll put up
7:03
Speaker 2: some stats in the first half, and he'll vanish when
7:06
Speaker 2: you need him the most. James Harden in the fourth
7:09
Speaker 2: quarter and overtime is like Bigfoot, blurry, distant and mostly
7:16
Speaker 2: a myth sasquatch. In the fourth quarter and overtime of
7:21
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals, James Harden, You're shooting twenty seven
7:24
Speaker 2: percent from the floor. He's averaging four more points per
7:27
Speaker 2: game than you and I are, and he is sitting
7:30
Speaker 2: at a minus thirty three. That is a biblical plus
7:33
Speaker 2: minus of minus thirty three in the fourth quarter and
7:37
Speaker 2: in overtime in the Eastern Conference Finals. Now that isn't
7:41
Speaker 2: just bad. That is a felony, basketball felony. That is
7:46
Speaker 2: Malfeasan's to the highest degree and on defense. As we
7:50
Speaker 2: talked about there, he is giving you that pure home
7:53
Speaker 2: depot like garden no Manager. If you went out to
7:56
Speaker 2: Home Depot or Low's or whatever your favorite hardware store
7:59
Speaker 2: is and you bought a garden gnome for the spring,
8:03
Speaker 2: that garden Gnome would have more defensive intensity than James Harden.
8:09
Speaker 2: Right now. Now he was said, well, you don't get
8:11
Speaker 2: James Harden for his defense, okay, but not any effort.
8:14
Speaker 2: Come on now, that said, it's like you don't buy
8:18
Speaker 2: a blender that always overheats and then complain when it overheats.
8:25
Speaker 2: If you look at Harden, he's the blender that's been
8:28
Speaker 2: overheating for years. And you bought the blender, and you
8:32
Speaker 2: could have asked the Clippers of the Nets of the Rockets,
8:35
Speaker 2: of the Sixers or any of these teams and they said, well, yeah,
8:38
Speaker 2: that blender is pretty good for a while, but then
8:40
Speaker 2: when you need it over overheats. And Spider Mitchell he
8:44
Speaker 2: was running around taking bows when that trade happened with
8:47
Speaker 2: the Clippers, and he didn't just advocate for James Harden
8:51
Speaker 2: to come to Northern Ohio. He vouched. He said, that's
8:54
Speaker 2: my guy, and this is gonna put us over the top.
8:56
Speaker 2: That's that Spider Mitchell, right, that's Spider Mitchell. He vouched
9:01
Speaker 2: for the sequel to a movie where everyone's already seen it,
9:06
Speaker 2: and he said, no, no, it's going to be different. It's
9:08
Speaker 2: gonna be a different movie. No, no, it's not, No,
9:10
Speaker 2: it's not. And Spider Mitchell wanted him. Spider Mitchell got
9:14
Speaker 2: James Harden, and Spider Mitchell owns this, owns this right,
9:18
Speaker 2: and the Cavs thought they were somehow the exception. This
9:21
Speaker 2: is the hubris of professional sports. The Cavaliers thought, wow,
9:25
Speaker 2: we're different. You know, we're different, and we know how
9:28
Speaker 2: to handle James Harden, and okay, how's that working out
9:32
Speaker 2: for it? Right now? Any team with James Harden on
9:36
Speaker 2: the roster is no longer a contender. They are a
9:39
Speaker 2: science experiment. Not even a pretender. They're a science experiment.
9:43
Speaker 2: The only surprise here is that the Cleveland basketball team
9:48
Speaker 2: is actually surprised. It's like, what are you doing? Harden
9:52
Speaker 2: didn't betray the Cadavers. Cleveland betrayed themselves with this transaction
9:59
Speaker 2: by thinking they're gonna be the first franchise in pro
10:03
Speaker 2: bouncy ball history immune to the glitch. That is playoff Harden, right,
10:09
Speaker 2: Harden's playoff glitch is the stuff of legend. And they thought, no, no, no, no,
10:15
Speaker 2: we've got we've got this shot that we took and
10:18
Speaker 2: we're immune. We have immunity. No you don't, no, you don't.
10:22
Speaker 2: He has shown you who he is for well over
10:25
Speaker 2: a decade, closer to two decades. You might want to
10:28
Speaker 2: believe James Harden. This is the Harden experience, this is
10:34
Speaker 2: the brochure. It's the whole Monty, the full Monty right there.
10:38
Speaker 2: Any team with Harden again, it's just kind of weird,
10:42
Speaker 2: voodoo bugaloo nonsense when you have Harden on the team.
10:46
Speaker 2: All right, now, page two to Detroit we go. Now,
10:51
Speaker 2: the NBA announced the All NBA teams for some reason
10:55
Speaker 2: on a random Sunday. They just announced that over the weekend.
10:58
Speaker 2: So Piston center Jalen durn was the third team All
11:03
Speaker 2: NBA center. That means the reason I bring this up,
11:06
Speaker 2: he now qualifies for a thirty percent maximum extension with
11:12
Speaker 2: the Detroit Pistons, worth a projected two hundred and eighty
11:15
Speaker 2: seven million over five years. So that is up from
11:19
Speaker 2: the prior two hundred thirty nine million so the economy
11:23
Speaker 2: is pretty good in basketball. And again, I just praise
11:25
Speaker 2: any business that gives out raises because I have worked
11:27
Speaker 2: for a lot that do not believe in giving out
11:29
Speaker 2: raises and rewarding their employees. So when I see a
11:32
Speaker 2: business that gives raises, I think that's great. Now that
11:34
Speaker 2: being said, this guy doesn't deserve the money. The new
11:37
Speaker 2: deal projects. Jalen durn is going to get forty nine
11:41
Speaker 2: if he signs this contract, and why wouldn't he forty
11:44
Speaker 2: nine and a half million dollars next season, escalating all
11:48
Speaker 2: the way to sixty five million over sixty five million
11:52
Speaker 2: in twenty thirty thirty one, And if he ends up
11:56
Speaker 2: going to another team, they would be limited to a
11:59
Speaker 2: four year, one hundred seventy seven million dollar contract. So
12:02
Speaker 2: I don't know how he's gonna be able to pay
12:03
Speaker 2: the HOA with that kind of contract. So Duran, he's
12:07
Speaker 2: in his early twenties and he played as an All
12:10
Speaker 2: Star during the regular season. Is no debating that the
12:14
Speaker 2: regular season, Jalen Dura is an All Star, and he
12:18
Speaker 2: had really good numbers nineteen and a half points, ten
12:21
Speaker 2: rebounds a game, and then his production there was a
12:25
Speaker 2: trap door that opened up in the playoffs and he
12:29
Speaker 2: fell right into a pit of vipers and piranha right there,
12:33
Speaker 2: boom done. All right, So the question you make the call.
12:37
Speaker 2: You make the call. Should the Pistons pay or trade
12:41
Speaker 2: all NBA center Jalen Duran. So if you weigh the evidence,
12:47
Speaker 2: and that's what we do here in the court of Mather,
12:49
Speaker 2: you weigh the evidence, it's rather clear. If your franchise
12:52
Speaker 2: center turns into a puddle in the month of May
12:56
Speaker 2: or April, he is not your franchise center and you
13:00
Speaker 2: should not pay him. Now, technically, Duran is a restricted
13:05
Speaker 2: free agent. My advice to the Detroit basketball team. They
13:09
Speaker 2: don't need a GM right now. No, no, no, they need
13:12
Speaker 2: Wayne Brady to host. Let's make a deal the front
13:16
Speaker 2: court edition and Duran. He didn't just get exposed in
13:20
Speaker 2: the playoffs. He got zonked. He got zonked like a
13:25
Speaker 2: contestant who picked the donkey behind curtain number three and
13:28
Speaker 2: turned down the car. It's a bad job by them.
13:31
Speaker 2: Call the uber black, load the extra bags. In fact,
13:35
Speaker 2: I'll even make a deal. I will make sure that
13:38
Speaker 2: Jalen Duran gets tsa pre check so he doesn't have
13:41
Speaker 2: to wait online when he goes to the airport there
13:43
Speaker 2: because he's out of here. And in the playoffs playoffs,
13:49
Speaker 2: Jalen Duran looked like Count Dracula at the Gilroy Garlic Festival,
13:56
Speaker 2: the Holy Land of Garlic, shrinking and melting and disappearing,
14:01
Speaker 2: and he can just regress. He fell off the statistical cliff,
14:06
Speaker 2: so steep. You gotta go back to Elgin Baylor in
14:10
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty nine, the last guy who saw the depths
14:16
Speaker 2: of despair that Jalen Dura did from regular season to
14:19
Speaker 2: the postseason, averaged nine point three points less per game,
14:24
Speaker 2: nine point three points less per game in the biggest
14:27
Speaker 2: games the postseason compared to the regular season. You have
14:30
Speaker 2: to go back almost as far as Haley's comment. You
14:34
Speaker 2: gotta go way back, way way way back. Hailey's comments,
14:37
Speaker 2: not fifty seven years, but fifty seven years is a
14:40
Speaker 2: long time to find a playoff collapse. This dramatic, as
14:43
Speaker 2: we said, it's it's Elgin Baylor with the Lakers back
14:46
Speaker 2: in the day. But this wasn't just a bad week.
14:48
Speaker 2: This was def Con one melt down under the brightest light.
14:52
Speaker 2: You needed a telescope and a NASA launch window to
14:57
Speaker 2: find the last time a star collapsed like this, so
15:00
Speaker 2: you're not a real star. And so if I'm the Pistons,
15:03
Speaker 2: I say, okay, let's do a little sign and trade action.
15:06
Speaker 2: We'll make it happen. We'll send a Durham to a
15:08
Speaker 2: team like the Lakers. They'll take him, or the Bulls
15:12
Speaker 2: or the Nets or somebody like that, some loser franchise
15:14
Speaker 2: that'll take this guy on. And said, well, we're gonna
15:17
Speaker 2: fix them because we know what we're doing. Okay, sure
15:19
Speaker 2: you do. Yeah, I'm sure you will figure it all out.
15:22
Speaker 2: Everything will be good, all right. Final point, we go
15:24
Speaker 2: to the NFL Arizona, which is vaguely in the NFL.
15:30
Speaker 2: So we had some reports over the weekend that said
15:32
Speaker 2: the Cardinals and quarterback Jacoby Brissett are quote significantly far
15:38
Speaker 2: apart on a rework deli oh for the twenty twenty
15:43
Speaker 2: six season. As we sit here in late May, almost June,
15:47
Speaker 2: and then training camp begins in about a month and
15:51
Speaker 2: a half. About a month and a half, the NFL
15:53
Speaker 2: training camp period will begin, which is a whole lot
15:56
Speaker 2: of nothing, and then some exhibition games you won't watch,
15:58
Speaker 2: and then the real season begins in September. So Brissett
16:03
Speaker 2: if you look at it here, he's got one year
16:06
Speaker 2: left on his deal and he can make up to
16:09
Speaker 2: five point three million, which is about where he is.
16:12
Speaker 2: The other options are Gardner Minshew and a third round
16:16
Speaker 2: pick Carson Beck out of Miami. Those are the other
16:19
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in the room. In the room, so you look around,
16:26
Speaker 2: look around, Gardner Minshee. So he's got a one year
16:28
Speaker 2: deal for about five point one million, which is less
16:30
Speaker 2: than Jacoby Brissett. The front office also invested, as we said,
16:35
Speaker 2: with Beca a draft pick. The question though, how do
16:39
Speaker 2: you see this impass between Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals
16:43
Speaker 2: working out? So let's be real here, Brissett he wants
16:48
Speaker 2: starter money, and the way I look at him, he's lucky.
16:53
Speaker 2: If the Cardinals give him the team Wi Fi password,
16:55
Speaker 2: that'd be like, okay, you get the Wi Fi. We're
16:57
Speaker 2: not going to give you a new contract, but we'll
16:58
Speaker 2: give you the Wi Fi its CRYPTI, Okay, good, thank you.
17:02
Speaker 2: I appreciate that he's thirty three years old and he's
17:06
Speaker 2: negotiating like he's some kind of victim. He's a victim
17:09
Speaker 2: early of his own stat line of anything. And only
17:12
Speaker 2: in the modern NFL does a quarterback with a resume
17:16
Speaker 2: as poor as Jacoby Brissett demand a raise with a
17:20
Speaker 2: straight face. No shame, no, I said, with the hutzba
17:24
Speaker 2: of doing that, Like what, I'm a sugarna. The Cardinals
17:27
Speaker 2: are arguing with a man who started twelve games last
17:32
Speaker 2: year and went one and eleven, and they're arguing with
17:35
Speaker 2: him like he's some kind of folk hero. Jacoby Burssett. Dude, Seriously,
17:40
Speaker 2: he has absolutely no leverage here. He's already made a
17:44
Speaker 2: mind boggling You know how much this guy's made By
17:46
Speaker 2: the way, I say mind boggling to me, it's mind boggling.
17:48
Speaker 2: You want to take a guess how much you think
17:50
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett Patriot backup Colts. She's bounced around the NFL.
17:55
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett has already made sixty seven million hiding in
18:01
Speaker 2: the shadows of the NFL sixty seven million. Batman had
18:07
Speaker 2: less job security. Arizona does not have a QB one.
18:12
Speaker 2: They don't they have two QB two's fighting for the
18:15
Speaker 2: middle seat. Who wants the middle seat? Nobody wants the
18:18
Speaker 2: middle seat. Enter Gardner Minshew Minshew Mania, who is basically
18:24
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissette with a lawnmower and blower sponsorship. All right,
18:30
Speaker 2: that's what this is, right, You get the lawnmower, the
18:32
Speaker 2: blower sponsorships, interchangeable, interchangeable. Minshew is fun bad. He's not
18:37
Speaker 2: good bad. He's fun bad. You'll be bad, he'll be
18:41
Speaker 2: fun He's a mirror image quarterback for cheaper with twice
18:47
Speaker 2: the personality of Jacoby Brissett. We're not exactly talking about
18:50
Speaker 2: a quarterback matchup where you're deciding between Kurt Warner and
18:53
Speaker 2: some stiff like alligator Arms Murray, who's now going to
18:57
Speaker 2: poison the Minnesota Vikings Arizona. At this point, they're the
19:00
Speaker 2: headless birds, the Cardinals wandering off into the desert without
19:05
Speaker 2: a head. If I only had my head. The Mallord
19:08
Speaker 2: advice to the Cardinals, it's rather simple. Don't let the
19:12
Speaker 2: door hit you where the Good Lord split you. If
19:15
Speaker 2: you have to bring in a heavy hitter, bring in
19:16
Speaker 2: porky pig to close the next press conference. That's all, folks,
19:21
Speaker 2: and that's it to you later, get out of here.
19:24
Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mahlord Show. If you would like
19:27

Speaker 2: It's a piece of art. It's so crazy this quote.
19:58
Speaker 2: When I saw this, I originally thought to myself, Oh
20:02
Speaker 2: my god, I can't believe it. This is AI. It

21:11

22:07
Speaker 2: to it, TI, back to it we go as a
22:10
Speaker 2: touch sport of bounceyball. I save this for the b block.
22:13
Speaker 2: It is the dumbest quote that I have heard all year.
22:16
Speaker 2: And you know how there's people that get addicted to
22:19
Speaker 2: certain things, and it's very hard. It's very hard to
22:24
Speaker 2: get someone who's got an addiction problem cured. It's just
22:30
Speaker 2: one of the flaws that we have as human beings.
22:32
Speaker 2: We get addicted. You know, I was addicted to food
22:34
Speaker 2: for a long time. I still love food. I can't
22:35
Speaker 2: not get away from it. It was good. I don't
22:38
Speaker 2: eat as much of it as I did at one point.
22:41
Speaker 2: It was addicted to it. You can eat, yeah, and
22:44
Speaker 2: I did, and then I ate that, and then I
22:47
Speaker 2: ate the stuff over there, and then I did every
22:49
Speaker 2: I mean I I ate everything.
22:51
Speaker 7: You know.
22:52
Speaker 2: It was a quantity over quality, was my That was
22:58
Speaker 2: my belief for many many years. I know that I
23:01
Speaker 2: had my own addiction. I know I had that. So
23:04
Speaker 2: I bring this up. The Cleveland basketball team is on
23:09
Speaker 2: the brink of being exterminated decommissioned from the playoffs, and
23:14
Speaker 2: I think we have this audio. Hopefully we have that
23:16
Speaker 2: ready to go here with the Koper loop here. So
23:18
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson is the coach of the basketball team from
23:23
Speaker 2: Northern Ohio, and he said that despite the fact that
23:30
Speaker 2: the Cavaliers have not won a game in this series,
23:34
Speaker 2: he said that they're actually winning the series in one area.
23:38
Speaker 2: Let's see if we can make out. The audio is
23:39
Speaker 2: not great. I'm telling you it's the quality is not wonderful.
23:42
Speaker 2: We're gonna play it because we have it, and then
23:44
Speaker 2: I'll tell you exactly what he said if you can't understand.
23:46
Speaker 2: But here's Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the Cavs who
23:48
Speaker 2: were down one loss away from elimination against the Knicks.
23:52
Speaker 2: Listen to this bull crap tike A Lias.
23:54
Speaker 8: Analytically, I think we've won the I said three out
23:58
Speaker 8: of three. We're two out of three and they expected
24:00
Speaker 8: and if you guys follow that, there's that it's an
24:02
Speaker 8: expected score, you know, and we won two out of
24:06
Speaker 8: the free And I know you're looking at them choos, but.
24:08
Speaker 9: I know there is really you know, if you believe
24:12
Speaker 9: in process and all that, like man, so you know,
24:16
Speaker 9: take that layer.
24:17
Speaker 8: I know I don't throw that on them. I see
24:20
Speaker 8: it for myself.
24:21
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, we have this feeling.
24:24
Speaker 2: I have this feeling.
24:24
Speaker 9: Then I can vote our analytical table and be.
24:27
Speaker 8: Like, man, we are you know, last the last night of.
24:30
Speaker 2: This we expected score was like one point or two.
24:35
Speaker 8: I was shooting way below expected.
24:37
Speaker 9: I'm shooting way.
24:38
Speaker 2: Over, you know.
24:41
Speaker 8: And I know when no one wants to hear that.
24:42
Speaker 8: I think you guys like here, man, I know you know,
24:46
Speaker 8: general public, no one wants to everyone's outcome faced.
24:49
Speaker 2: And you know for sure I get that too, all right.
24:54
Speaker 2: That was Kenny Atkinson who said, again this is wild
24:58
Speaker 2: to me. He said that in the series, analytically the
25:04
Speaker 2: Cavs have either won all three or two of three
25:08
Speaker 2: in the series. Do you realize what a zealot Kenny
25:12
Speaker 2: Atkinson is that he loves this dogma so much, the
25:16
Speaker 2: analytical dogma. And it's the kind of bull crap that
25:20
Speaker 2: we hear in baseball all the time, because baseball people
25:22
Speaker 2: lose their minds because analytically, over the long haul stuff works,
25:28
Speaker 2: but in a small sample size it doesn't work. But
25:32
Speaker 2: these people, they believe in the analytical manifesto. So much
25:38
Speaker 2: they're drinking the kool aid all that. There's such psycho
25:42
Speaker 2: pass these people. You can't put any common sense, Like
25:45
Speaker 2: by the way, James Harten. Okay, if you look at
25:49
Speaker 2: the analytics on James Harden, he's sucked in every playoff
25:52
Speaker 2: with every other team, but he's a Hall of Fame
25:54
Speaker 2: level player and all that. I mean, it's just insane.
25:56
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson again for those who didn't pay an attention
26:00
Speaker 2: to it, Kenny Akinson, head coach of an NBA team
26:02
Speaker 2: that's about to be swept out of the playoffs, and
26:05
Speaker 2: Kenny Atkinson saying that analytically they've won either all three
26:11
Speaker 2: games or two of three. Do you understand the extremist
26:15
Speaker 2: views that, and this is why he's a head coach
26:18
Speaker 2: in the NBA. Atkinson and the gullible type say, be
26:22
Speaker 2: buys it to everything. Well, if you look at the
26:25
Speaker 2: analytics of it, we're in really good shrine be expected
26:28
Speaker 2: to score. It's amazing. The only analytics stat that matters, dummy,
26:34
Speaker 2: is the scoreboard.
26:35
Speaker 4: Mark.
26:35
Speaker 2: I feel like Jim Rowman, like nineteen ninety three scoreboard.
26:39
Speaker 2: That's it. You ponds so ridiculously.
26:43
Speaker 7: Only idiots care about the outcome.
26:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly cool. It's unfreaking believable. It's seriously that playing again.
26:52
Speaker 2: I want to hear this. A head coach of a
26:54
Speaker 2: team about to be swept and he's singing the doctrine
26:58
Speaker 2: of the analytics and how the expected outcome. Shove it
27:02
Speaker 2: up your ass. Take a listen.
27:04
Speaker 8: Analytically, I think we've won the expect I said three
27:08
Speaker 8: out of three. We're two out of three. Let you
27:10
Speaker 8: guys follow that an expected score, expected score two out
27:15
Speaker 8: of the three.
27:16
Speaker 2: I know you're looking at confused, but.
27:18
Speaker 9: I know there is really you know, if you believe
27:21
Speaker 9: in process and.
27:22
Speaker 2: All that process, Yes, so you know, take that layer.
27:27
Speaker 2: I know I don't trust the process.
27:29
Speaker 8: I see it for myself.
27:33
Speaker 2: I don't need that. I don't need the rest of it.
27:35
Speaker 2: This is so stupid. Do you understand? Do you understand?
27:38
Speaker 2: This is what we're dealing with here? This is a
27:40
Speaker 2: This is a mind rot, the literally mind rod. They
27:43
Speaker 2: do measurable outcomes, the smarty pants, all the up to
27:48
Speaker 2: date analytics and all that they've got all your we
27:51
Speaker 2: have the patterns of data that tell us what's supposed
27:54
Speaker 2: to happen, the law of probability. This is it this
27:58
Speaker 2: is our sports. This is what happens. It's an invasive species.
28:01
Speaker 2: Our sports got taken over by nerds, by nerds, and
28:06
Speaker 2: this is what happened. The head coach of an NBA
28:09
Speaker 2: team about to be swept says, look at the analytics,
28:13
Speaker 2: look at the numbers. I don't care that we're not
28:16
Speaker 2: actually winning the scoreboard. My poindexter friends tell me expected outcome.
28:23
Speaker 2: It's machine like. Do you understand it's me. You gotta
28:28
Speaker 2: fire this guy, right, you gotta fire. You gotta fire Atkins.
28:30
Speaker 2: I don't know, he's just doing the dogma.
28:33

32:42
Speaker 1: on the Spurs right, And Ben Maller, like I was
32:45
Speaker 1: gonna say, I know you guys want to pay a pick.
32:48
Speaker 1: Mean you guys buve a pick, but won't give you
32:50
Speaker 1: that the pick.
32:51
Speaker 2: W I don't see anyone raising their hand here, Poppy,
32:54
Speaker 2: I don't know what you're talking about. Well, earlier, how
32:57
Speaker 2: upset Poppy on a scale of one to ten, pop
33:00
Speaker 2: be how upset were you that Bernie wasn't in for
33:02
Speaker 2: me tonight?
33:04
Speaker 1: Well, to be honest with you, look, I don't know
33:08
Speaker 1: if I could go you shunning a little bit repetitive
33:10
Speaker 1: on that, Ben Maller. People want to hear me on here,
33:13
Speaker 1: and you're my mentor. I always show you loving.
33:15
Speaker 2: People want to Bernie's guy. Now it's weekend at Bernie's
33:18
Speaker 2: with you.
33:19
Speaker 1: You're my mother. No, no, no, Ben Maller. Whatever I
33:23
Speaker 1: say here, people are a coffee cat. They open here.
33:25
Speaker 1: They want to hear what Poppy Day was, Ben Mallard,
33:28
Speaker 1: And then they copy us and then did you win
33:30
Speaker 1: in the morning whatever? Like then I become I become
33:34
Speaker 1: Bible whatever I say. But look, Ben Maller, it's true.
33:37
Speaker 1: I do want to have a segment for the World
33:38
Speaker 1: Cup's gonna come up, and I do want to give
33:40
Speaker 1: World Cup picks. But but besides that saying that, Ben Maller,
33:45
Speaker 1: I do want to give a pick. The next are
33:47
Speaker 1: playing the cap and look I met Adam Silver, and
33:49
Speaker 1: we know he's an alien, your friend.
33:51
Speaker 2: Your buddy's right with Adam Silver, your palace.
33:54
Speaker 1: I'm really buddied with him that he gave me some
33:56
Speaker 1: free tickets to the first mittig and tournament. But look,
34:00
Speaker 1: the next are going to be playing the Calves and
34:02
Speaker 1: everyone's betting on And I loved your monologue in the
34:05
Speaker 1: first hour, how you're bashing the cat and everyone's bashing
34:08
Speaker 1: the calf. Everyone's been in the next we're going the
34:09
Speaker 1: opposite direction. We're gonna go with the Calves plus two
34:12
Speaker 1: and a half. I believe they're gonna send the restor
34:15
Speaker 1: to help the Cats, and I think it's gonna be
34:16
Speaker 1: Tony Brothers, So please add them Silvers and Brothers in there.
34:20
Speaker 1: We're gonna play and a half on the Cleveland Calves
34:23
Speaker 1: and do the money leg and you guys can take
34:25
Speaker 1: me later when we make that blink blink blinks lots
34:28
Speaker 1: of money. Ben Maller, what do you.
34:30
Speaker 2: Think about I would not touch the Cavaliers. I would
34:34
Speaker 2: really run away from the Cavaliers. Yes, they have, that's
34:39
Speaker 2: if they're done, they planning their vacation. They have. If
34:43
Speaker 2: they haven't had any they haven't shown any fight up
34:45
Speaker 2: until this point, Why all of a sudden they're gonna
34:47
Speaker 2: go to show fight unless somebody gets hurt by the Knicks.
34:50
Speaker 2: Forget about it. And everyone is betting on the on
34:53
Speaker 2: the Knicks for sure. It seems like free money. Nicks
34:57
Speaker 2: are favored by two and a half on draftings like
34:59
Speaker 2: seventy percent, and of the action is in favor of
35:01
Speaker 2: the Knickers racks.
35:03
Speaker 1: So, and when you said, Ben Maler, have everyone's going
35:07
Speaker 1: down one direction, we've got to go the opposite way.
35:09
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go plus two and a half with
35:10
Speaker 1: the Cavs. And I believe Donovan Mitchell is going to
35:12
Speaker 1: have a good game. Ivan Mobley and the rev.
35:17
Speaker 2: All right, all right, Poppy. We'll talk to you in
35:19
Speaker 2: a month, thank you. There he goes, there's Poppy from
35:21
Speaker 2: San Diego. The Knicks are currently having the most dominant
35:25
Speaker 2: playoff run of the modern era, and yet, based on
35:29
Speaker 2: the gambling market, have less than a twenty five percent
35:34
Speaker 2: chance of winning the championship. So let me repeat that
35:37
Speaker 2: for those of you a little slow. So, the Knicks
35:39
Speaker 2: currently have not lost in over a month. If they've
35:42
Speaker 2: won ten straight, they have the largest point differential over
35:45
Speaker 2: any ten game span. They've outscored the opposition by two
35:48
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five points. Of course, compliments of the
35:52
Speaker 2: sixers quitting and some of these other nonsense things that
35:55
Speaker 2: have happened, it's been a perfect storm. They have the
35:57
Speaker 2: highest true shooting percentage in playoff history, the Knickerbockers, and
36:02
Speaker 2: yet they have a twenty two percent chance based on
36:05
Speaker 2: the prediction market, of winning the championship. So the numbers
36:09
Speaker 2: not favoring the Knicks, even though they've been playing very well.
36:13
Speaker 2: More of a byproduct of the competition, which is l stinko.
36:18
Speaker 2: We have Mallard the third degree that is coming up momentarily.
36:21
Speaker 2: Mallard the third degree.
36:22
Speaker 1: Time.

38:14
Speaker 2: the answer? Shannon Moyne going with Omar vs. SkELL as
38:18
Speaker 2: his answer. Michael, he's in Tulsa, he says. Our Vitas
38:23
Speaker 2: Sabonis is the answer? All right? What else do we have?
38:27
Speaker 2: A big reg and I well part of our offensive line,
38:30
Speaker 2: says David Vass Is that him with Blake Snell? Or
38:34
Speaker 2: is that him with Mookie Betts? I don't know who
38:36
Speaker 2: else do we have? Alf the alien Opiner says, a
38:40
Speaker 2: variation of Benny Bigfoot, the baron of the Big Apple
38:45
Speaker 2: and his fashionable shoes. Yes, I told that story on
38:48
Speaker 2: the Fifth Hour podcast. My left foot became numb because
38:53
Speaker 2: we walked so much around New York, and I blame
38:55
Speaker 2: my older brother. Who is he runs marathons and stuff
38:59
Speaker 2: like that. He pig guests by Eileen in San Francisco.
39:03
Speaker 2: Who else do we have? I can't read that year
39:05
Speaker 2: people ripping poppy. Do you have an answer, Lorraine? Yes,
39:08
Speaker 2: I'm going with John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Fine name, but
39:12
Speaker 2: that's saying correct. The correct answer would be the name Jalen,
39:15
Speaker 2: as in Jalen Brown, Jalen Brunson. There are fifteen players
39:20
Speaker 2: named Jalen in the NBA. Four of them were named
39:22
Speaker 2: of the All NBA team. Here we go, Here we go,
39:24
Speaker 2: Here we go.
39:24
Speaker 4: To the mall agree this is one Big Ben gets grilled.
39:32
Speaker 2: Cooper Loo Ben.
39:34
Speaker 7: Henry Ruggs is eligible for parole in August of this year.
39:40
Speaker 7: If he gets out on parole, do you think there's
39:42
Speaker 7: a chance that he returns to the the NFL.
39:45
Speaker 2: Well, I would like to think, Kooper Loop that there's
39:47
Speaker 2: no chance that the NFL wants nothing to do with
39:50
Speaker 2: Henry Ruggs. However, I know how the NFL operates. He'll
39:54
Speaker 2: be in the NFL. He will get workouts. In the end.
39:57
Speaker 2: I would be shocked if he doesn't get an opportunity,
40:00
Speaker 2: whether that's Kansas City, Andy Reid's brought some guys in,
40:03
Speaker 2: that's guys that have had issues. This is this is
40:05
Speaker 2: not just issues. He literally killed someone and their dog
40:08
Speaker 2: burned off in the car because of him. But he'll
40:10
Speaker 2: get it, he'll get an opportunity. Good next.
40:13
Speaker 7: UH Panthers defensive tackle Derek Brown said over the weekend
40:16
Speaker 7: about Bryce Young, he's our guy. We ride with number
40:20
Speaker 7: nine all the way. People don't want to admit how
40:22
Speaker 7: good he's becoming because they're gonna have to go back
40:24
Speaker 7: and admit how wrong they were.
40:26
Speaker 2: Ben, do you think people were wrong about Bryce? No? No,
40:29
Speaker 2: no one was wrong. No, he's not that good. He's
40:32
Speaker 2: now he's gone from the worst, the worst to backside
40:35
Speaker 2: of average to bad. So he's not as bad as
40:39
Speaker 2: he was, but there's no world he's good.
40:41
Speaker 7: Next Ben, Travis Kelsey's gonna climb up the all time
40:44
Speaker 7: receptions list this year. He's only a you know, few
40:47
Speaker 7: away from Tim Brown. But do you think you can
40:49
Speaker 7: catch Tony Gonzalez as the top tight end? He's like
40:52
Speaker 7: a couple hundred away.
40:54
Speaker 2: No, no, no, he's gonna play get married in a
40:57
Speaker 2: few weeks or whatever. That he's gonna fade away after
40:59
Speaker 2: this year. He's not to catch the all timer. How
41:01
Speaker 2: we do cubolo. He passes in a shop. That's a way.
41:03
Speaker 6: I want, I want, I want, I Want, I want,
41:04
Speaker 6: I want, I want, I want
