  Speaker 2: This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I was keeping a close eye on hoops and the
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Spurs beat the Timberwolves down. Spurs beat them by twenty
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: nine points. It's kind of a crazy game because the
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: score was tied at sixty one, So the Spurs had
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: a twelve point lead at halftime, and the next thing
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: you know, to start the third quarter, Minnesota goes on
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: a run. They tie the game sixty one apiece. Just
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: under eight minutes to go in the third quarter. The
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Spurs and the third quarter on a thirty to twelve run.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: They took an eighteen point lead and they didn't look back.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: They just added to that won by twenty nine points.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Pretty crazy. A game like that's the NBA for you, man.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Just when you're thinking, hey man, Timberwolves Clawn back in
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: this thing. They tied it up. Yeah, they lost by
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: twenty nine, but that's life in the NBA. It was crazy.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Wembin Yama came to play. Was not suspended for Game
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: five in my opinion, nor should he have been. He
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: was ejected in Game four for the vicious elbow that
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: connected with nas reed. He missed two and a half
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: quarters of the game, Spurs lost the game. He had
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: no prior run ins, no rap sheet of this type
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: of behavior. So the NBA said, yeah, let's keep the
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: alien on the floor in game five. So he played
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: and he was marvelous. Wemby was fantastic. Twenty seven points,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: seventeen rebounds, added five assists in three blocks for good measure,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: very efficient too, nine for sixteen from the field, hit
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: a couple of three pointers. It is crazy because his
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: points prop was twenty seven and a half points for
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: the gamblers out there, right, and he had twenty one
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: points in the first half, so you might have been thinking,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: all right, feeling good, looking good. It's not probably not
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: a blowout, you know, Like I said, first four minutes
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: of the third quarter was tied up. It's a tight game,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: sixty one apiece. So you don't have to worry about Okay,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: this is getting out of hand. Wemby isn't gonna play
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. It wasn't anything like that. He
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: just didn't score that much. He ended up with twenty
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: seven points. He actually went to the free throw line
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: with twenty six points, right, so if he makes both
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of them, he goes over his points prop of twenty
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: seven and a half. He missed the first one and
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: then of course made the second one, so he ended
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: with twenty seven points. So if you were on the
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: over twenty seven and a half, dah, you got hooked.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: You got hooked, lost by half a point. So that
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: is that is sports betting in a nut shell right there.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: So hopefully you were either on the under or it
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: did tick down to twenty six and a half. If
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: you were over twenty six and a half, you're a winner.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Cash it.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: But Wenby played great, gambling to the side twenty seven
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: and seventeen the game. After he was ejected early in
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the second quarter in Game four, he responded, he was fantastic.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: He played great. The Spurs. They consistently doubled Anthony Edwards.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards was held in check, had twenty points. He
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: wasn't bad, but just twenty points, six for thirteen from
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the field, facing a lot of doubles and so Ant
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: was passing quite a bit, not getting a whole lot
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of shots, not a lot of volume. So they did
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: a good job on him. I like the defensive approach
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: by the Spurs, and he didn't get much else. It
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was a cold shooting night for the Timberwolves collectively, thirty
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: nine percent from the field, twenty seven percent from three.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Not what you're looking for. Ice cold this brick City
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: for the Timberwolves on Tuesday night, Orange Julius Randall, I
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: call them Orange Julius inefficient. Seventeen points on seventeen shots,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: not what you're looking for, zero for four from three.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Did have ten boards, but the scoring just wasn't there.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Timberwolves didn't have enough and they got worked by twenty
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: nine points. They will try to stave off elimination in
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: game six. We'll get to Game six on Thursday evening.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: But the Timberwolves offense can't be trusted. That's one of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: the major takeaways. They cannot be trusted. They settle for
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: way too many threes at times. There's a run in
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the first half where they tried a corner three, not
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: even close fast break for the Spurs. They tried another
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: corner three, not even close fast break for the Spurs.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know, why don't we try to
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: get to the bucket. Why don't we shoot mid range?
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I know that Wemby is protecting the rim, that's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: great luxury to have, but the Timberwolves are not shy
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: about attacking the rim, attack, backing the basket, or getting
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: to the paint, getting mid range shots. They're just settling
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: for long jumpers far too often. And I realize you're
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: gonna have to shoot a good number of them against
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: a wem Bin Yama led defense.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: I get that, I do, but again they.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: They've Shannon Shannon Junior was like, Hey, we're not afraid
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: we're gonna attack him all the time.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: We're not.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: We're not shying away from Wemby. And the next thing
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just three three three. They shot twenty
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: seven percent. It's like less threes, a little more mid range,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a little more get to the bucket. But they were
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: just out ice cold from three, and I don't want
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: to see them settling for more threes. That's the Boston
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Celtics way of thinking, Hey, we're ice cold, let's.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Just shoot more of them like that. That's how they
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: get down.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Meanwhile, you know, I call them Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: That's what wem Bin Yama and the supporting cast is.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Wem Bin Yama is this uber star, right, he is
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: this megastar. And the rest of the supporting cast of
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the Spurs is really really good. Don't get me wrong.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: The Aaron Fox can place fon Castle is really really good.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Dylan Harper continues to do his thing twelve points and
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: ten rebounds. But it's just I don't know what it
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: is about the Spurs. They're really really solid, but it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: not like stardom. I feel like when Wemby was ejected
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: in game four, it would be like when Tom Petty
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: was alive and he was like, Hey, I'm gonna go
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: backstage for about five songs, but just hang out with
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the Heartbreakers.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: They got you covered.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I'll see you in about I don't know, half hour
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: at least, and he just left the stage. You'd be like,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: this is kind of weird, this kind of sucks. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: bring back Tom. There'd be chance Petty pet you'd want
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Tom Petty, you'd want the starback out there, right. That's
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: how I feel with the Spurs. When Wemby is off
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the floor, I'm kind of like, this is that's all right,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: but where's the star? Where's the main attraction? Like That's
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: how it feels with the Spurs. But they are very,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: very solid team. And there was a stat with Dylan Harper.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: He has scored the most points off the bench in
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the twenty twenty six NBA playoffs. He's scored one hundred
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and thirty six points. Nas Reeds second on the list
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: with one thirty three. But Dylan Harper is a really
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: really good player. He's a rookie second overall pick. But
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I was watching this game and I was thinking, you know,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: if you're looking at teams just based on excitement in
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: the NBA, who does it for you? I think that's
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: a good question, right, Because we're always ranking teams like, hey,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: who's gonna win the East, who's gonna win the West,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: who's gonna win the NBA Finals. We're always looking at
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: who's going to emerge, who's going to win? Nothing wrong
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: with that, But if I'm just looking at who is exciting,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: who is box office entertainment value. Forget about who's gonna
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: win the championship? Who are you most entertained by?
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: And sorry, I started thinking about this and of teams
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: that are still remaining, I would put the Knicks number one.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: The Knicks number one. Their style of play is I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: think it's entertaining. Jalen Brunson is a fun watch. He's
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: crazy with his moves. He's just very jittery and shifty,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: and it's really fun to watch a guy who's undersized
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: by NBA standards create enough space and get his shots
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: off all the time. And sometimes it'd be being guarded
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: by a guy that's way taller than him, and somehow,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: some way he'll get a shot off, create space and
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: he'll score on a tall guy and it's like, wow, man,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: he's fun to watch.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: And what the Knicks do? They're just grinders, man.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: The collection of Josh Hart, Michel Bridges a cat now
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: a facilitator, I don't know. They're an entertaining watch to me,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and coupled with their crazy fan base, and I mean
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: that in a complimentary way that they're crazy people over there.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I'm captivated by the Knicks fan base when they're playing
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: a home game, there's instant energy. It always feels like
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: a big game. And now that they're a big deal,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the road crowd is just taking over, right, So that's
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: fun too. So I have the k next top of
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the list most entertaining of the playoff teams, remaining number
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: two on the list. You might you might not agree
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: with this, but to me, it's the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now again,
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: we're not looking for the best team, the team that's
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: gonna win the East, win the NBA Finals, just entertainment value.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Who is entertaining? Okay, I would put the Calvs up there.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell is a star Spider. Mitchell is fun to watch, athletic,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: creative shot maker. When he is firing man thirty nine
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: points in the second half of the last game like that,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: special ties an NBA playoff record for the most points
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: in any half. That's the type of of stardom that
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Donovan Mitchell brings to the table. So, and coupled with
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: is the Beard gonna play well tonight? He's gonna have
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: way more turnovers than made field goals like that. That
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: part of it is interesting to me. And the Calves
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: are just I don't know, man from play to play
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: from quarter to quarter, half to half. Sometimes they look great,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: sometimes they look like a disaster. But I'm entertained by them.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I am not entertained by the Pistons. I respect them.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Kate Cunningham is fun to watch. He is a star player.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: But the Pistons collectively, I like how they play defense,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: they compete, They're hard nosed, but they're just that fun
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: of a watch to me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's just me.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: You're trailing by twenty four points against the Magic, It's
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: just I'm not really captivated by them. I would put
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: the Timberwolves in the top three. I do like watching
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: the t Wolves. I think they're fun. Anthony Edwards is
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: a superstar, creative playmaker, athletic, competitive as hell. He's the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: best competitor in basketball, I think easily. He is fantastic
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: as far as that goes. He's got two injured knees.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: You would never know it. He goes out there and
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: just you know, puts his hard hat on and he
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: gives you some flair, playmaking ability, dunking on people. He's
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: a high flyer. Timberwolves are a fun watch, and I
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: like the supporting cast as well. Jade McDaniels competitive, nas
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: reed competitive.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: These dudes are dogs. So I like the Timberwolves.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Now, when you get to the Thunder and the Spurs,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: it's a legitimate question. Some people might look at me sideways,
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: but are you entertained by watching them play? I'm entertained
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: by the Spurs because Wemby is just an alien. He's
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: just something that you don't see anywhere else, and you
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: haven't seen anywhere else a guy his size, his frame
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: doing what he does.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: It's unprecedented.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I know there are some big dudes, some lan dudes
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: that can shoot, that can handle the rock. They can't
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: do everything that Wemby does. It's something's lacking. They're either
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: not great at blocking shots, they're not great at shooting threes,
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: they're not great at handling the rock. They're something something
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: is missing. We haven't seen anything like Wemby before, so
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: that is entertaining. It's an attraction, and if the Spurs
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: are on, it's like, oh, okay, cool. Yeah. I'm not
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: saying I'm not entertained by the Thunder, but Sga, as
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: much as I respect him, he's not one of the
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: more entertaining players in the game. He is highly effective
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: at what he does. He's able to get to the
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: free throw line, He's able to score on anybody.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: He's so efficient.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: But he'll get to the mid range and hit an
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: elbow jumper and it's like okay, And the supporting cast
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: is really good and at times fun to watch. But
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: they're just great at playing hard nosed defense, creating turnovers,
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: getting you know, live ball turnovers, converting them into points.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: They're a very very solid team, but they're not just
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: the most attractive team to watch entertainment wise. I do
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: think Thunder versus Spurs, if that's what we get in
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: the Western Conference Finals, you really got something there. Because
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: you might not be captivated by either style of play,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: but when they're going up against each other, I think
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be very competitive. I think it's gonna be
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of fun to watch. Spurs had the Thunder's
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: number in the regular season. We'll see if that carries
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: over to the postseason if if that is the matchup, right,
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: but I think that can be that could be compelling.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: I just buy themselves though it's like, eh, all right, okay,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: S's on TV tonight, Okay, I don't think you're running
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: to your TV set like, oh man, I gotta see this.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: You might do that if it's a big playoff game
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: in the garden and it's just electricity, you know what
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: I mean. So it's a legitimate question. Who are you
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: you most entertained by of the playoff teams remaining?
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Who's number one? Who's number two? On your list?

  Speaker 3: It's like, okay, alright, so it's gonna be in Casey
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: so there are a couple of things here. I would
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: read into this a certain way. Now, not everybody will
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: look at this the same way. Some might disagree, some
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: might push back. That's fine, reasonable minds can disagree. But
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: the way I look at this game being in Week
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: one is this, it's a big bet by the NFL.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: When the NFL makes big bets, the NFL normally wins
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: big bets. Okay, So by having the Chiefs play in
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Week one Monday Night Football primetime, they're hosting the Broncos,
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: who won the division last year, were a bon Knicks
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: injury away from probably going to the Super Bowl. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: for the Chiefs to be hosting the Broncos, that's a
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: pretty good clue that all Mahomes probably gonna be upright
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: and ready to go in Week one, coming off the
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: torn ACL. It's just another clue. Now, Well, before this
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: was announced, I've thought all along that Mahomes.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Will be there, he will be playing in Week one.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: I hear a lot of talk, a lot of conversations,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of questions, is he gonna be ready? Do
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: we know if he's gonna Yeah, he's gonna be ready.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: And the NFL scheduling this game in Week one is
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: an indication of that. It's a clue that Mahomes will
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: be out there. Who is quick, off the top of
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: your head, who's the Chief's backup quarterback? I don't know either.
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I have to look it up real back. Who is
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs backup quarterback? That would be one Justin Fields. Okay,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: So just picture this week one Monday Night football. We
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: got Troy Aikman, we got Joe Buck.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: They're ready. Let's go.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: First Monday night game of this of the season. We're
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: fired up over here, all right. We got Bone and
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the Broncos Bonnicks healthy back from injury taking on Justin
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Fields and the Kansas City Chiefs, Like, what the hell
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: was the old Vincelabardy?
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: What the hell's going on out here?
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: That's what we'd be saying.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: If that's the case, that's not going to be the case.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: All Right, Mahome's gonna be out there, man, You're going
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: to rehab like a crazy person.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: He'll be ready to go. I'd be shocked if he's
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: not stunned.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: I am ninety five to five that Mahomes will be there,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: And I think that the NFL is probably close to
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: the same thing. Otherwise they scheduled some other game in
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Week one, So Broncos Chiefs in Week one. And I
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: think the other thing is this. Now you might not
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: agree with this, but I think it's a it's an
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: indication if the if it were up to the NFL, Okay,
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: they could have they could They could write the storyline, right.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: They always say the script, the NFL script. The NFL
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: was actually writing the script if they could have it
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: their way and they had a choice between which team
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: has a great season. Do you think they'd sign up
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: for the Broncos to have a great season or for
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs to have a great season. It's the Chiefs
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: all day, Okay, all day. And it's a small indication
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: because this game is in Kansas City. Are They're not
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: starting in Denver. This isn't Week one at Denver. This
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: is Week one at Kansas City. So and just do
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: the math on this. If you look at the Chiefs,
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: they're a more compelling storyline. We've got history with the Chiefs.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: They're three time Super Bowl winners with Mahomes, they've been
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: to a couple other Super Bowls. They fell flat on
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: their face last year. Mahomes didn't have a great individual season.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: He got hurt at the end of a disastrous season.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: If the Chiefs get back to prominence, that's pretty interesting.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: If the Broncos just continue building on the season that
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: they had, I mean, it's not like a dud story,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: but it's not. It doesn't have the same pizaz as
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: like the riches to rags back to riches story that
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs could have. I think that's a more compelling storyline.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: And so I think and some might disagree with this.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: They might be like, Brian, you're reading way too far
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: into this. I don't think the NFL is in the
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: business of just Oh, I hadn't thought of that. Yeah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: that's just a random coincidence, you know, Like the NFL
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: isn't down like that. Okay, everything is thought about. There's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: a purpose for these things when these when these games
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: are being released. They didn't have to release this one.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: They purposefully released this one. Why right, There are reasons
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: why they released it, and there are reasons why the
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: game is in Kansas City. I think if they were
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: up to the NFL, they'd be elated. If Kansas City
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: had a resurgence and all of a sudden, they're this
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: team that was on top and then they're having this
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: disastrous season. What were they last year? Six and eleven?
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: That's insane, man, I still can't believe they had that
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: bad of a season. With Mahomes on the field for
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: most of the year. You would think the Chiefs six
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: and eleven, he got hurt on the first play in
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the first week, not the case. So I think that
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's a compelling storyline and for all the
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: people that were just worn out by the Chiefs, and
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: I get that they had such sustained success winning super Bowls,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: getting to super Bowls that if it was just tired
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: of them getting calls. That's the other thing. A lot
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: of people hate the Chiefs were getting favorable calls. I
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: don't think that there's any conspiracy theory. I think sometimes
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: there's way too much made of that. But I'm just
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: telling you there are a lot of people that dislike
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs because they think they get the calls. I
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: think a lot of that went away last year. Now
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: it can be rekindled. Really, the Chiefs start off the
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: season five to ohero and get a super favorable call
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: in week six, and all of a sudden, the world
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: hates their guts again. It can happen like that very quickly.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: But listen, hate is good for business. If you're looking
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: at this from the NFL's perspective, you would want fans
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: that are engaged. What's the deal with the Cowboys? You
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: either love them or you hate them, but you're gonna watch.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: It's very similar with the Chiefs. You either love what
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: they're doing, you love their success, or you hate it
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: and you're annoyed by it and you want to see
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: them lose. That's all good for business for the NFL
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: because you're paying attention. So if the Chiefs are relevant again,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I think the NFL wins big time as far as
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: that goes. Once that connected to this first Week one matchup,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: first Monday night football game, I can't believe this is
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: even true. So the running backs last year for the Chiefs,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt main guys, they combined for
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: only one rushing attempt that went farther than twenty yards.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: That is unbelievable to me. Man Like that blows my mind.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco was a really good running back. He just
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: ran so angry, right is the old Kyle Brant Angry
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: runs Pacheco was on it all the time.
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: He just is like he was mad at the ground.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: He ran with such force and then he got hurt
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: and then he's never regained his form. He's just not
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: the same guy. And for a Pachecko and Hunt to
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: only have one combined rush for more than twenty yards
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: is astounding to me. Man, But they picked up Kenneth
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Walker from the Seahawks to be their their main running
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: back and he had a ton of at least ten
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: yard rushes last season, So hey, maybe brighter days for
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs. I just think that it was a calamity
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: last season. I think that they'll be much better this season,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: and I wouldn't be surprised if they're, you know, making
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: a deep run in the playoffs again, wouldn't be surprised whatsoever.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: The other game that was announced on Tuesday was an
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: international game, so be week nine we're looking at. November eighth,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: will be a Sunday Bengals and Falcons in Madrid, Spain.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: And I listen, A couple of things come to mind
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: with this game. The Bengals, I just what a disappointment.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: It's funny when I talk about the Bengals and I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: passit on the Bengals. I will get some pushback. There'll
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: be some random hooda fan that's like, oh what, why
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: do you say that, Brian, Why do you think they
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: don't have a chance this year. It's like, well, I
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: don't know. Their defense sucks, they always disappoint You have
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, you have a franchise quarterback who gets banged
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: up quite a bit, and yet somehow the last three
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: seasons they were six and eleven. Last season they were
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: nine and eight in each of the previous two seasons.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: You know what the Bengals are.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: The Bengals are a poor man's version of the Steelers.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: That's what they are. That's exactly what the Bengals are.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: We always talk about the Steelers like, ah, they're gonna
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: be ten and seven, they're gonna be nine and eight,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: they'll sneak into the playoffs and then they'll fizzle out
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: right away. The Bengals are a lesser version of that. Okay,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: the last three years, that's exactly what they've been. Their
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: record has been worse. They haven't even gotten to the playoffs.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: So they're a lesser version of the Steelers. And we
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: don't speak about the Steelers in glowing terms the last
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: three years, do we No, we don't. The Bengals are
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: a lesser version of Pittsburgh, that's what they are. They
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: actually have a franchise quarterback. The Steelers have a band
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: aid in Aaron Rodgers that's playing out the rest of
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: his NFL career. And yet the Bengals are still a
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: less version of the Steelers. That's crazy, but that's exactly
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: what they are. But you rest assured I'll get someone, well, Brian,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: not this year. Man like watch out, man, don't sleep
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: on the Bengals. Okay, I'm fast asleep, all right, fastest sleep.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: You gotta play this thing called defense in the NFL
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: these days. Got to be able to play some defense.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And I'm not convinced they're gonna be able to do
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: that at a legitimate rate. They did make some they
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: made some pickups. They made that crazy trade for Dexter Lawrence.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: They got Sexy Dexy over there trying to stabilize the
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: defensive line. But you lost Trey Hendrickson. Did you gain
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: in the office. I don't know that you gained. You
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: replaced Trey Hendrickson with Boye Mafe. I don't think that's
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: a gain. So I don't expect the defense to be
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: all world and the silly Bengals where it's like, hey,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: we've got Jamar Chase, let's pay te Higgins huge money.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Also, let's do that. You know who else is doing that?
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: Pretty much? No one like to give a long term
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: extension to two top receivers, but the Bengals are doing that,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: and shockingly their defense is a hot mess. Crazy how
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: that works out. The other question with the Falcons would
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: be when week nine rolls around, who's playing quarterback for them?
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: That's a crazy question to wonder about right now, Like
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: not barring injury, okay, because you could go around the
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: league and say, injury is not a factor. Hey, who's
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: playing quarterback for the Bears in Week nine? Well, if
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: injury is not a factor, it's going to be Caleb Williams.
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: You know, you just go around the league like, hey,
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: who's going to be playing quarterback for the Rams in
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: Week nine? Well, if Stafford isn't injured, it's gonna be Stafford, right, Like,
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: you could play that game with a lot of teams
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. With the Falcons, no injury issues, who's
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: their quarterback in week nine? I don't know it's either
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: gonna be Michael Pennix Junior or to a Tongue of Iloa.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: But your guest is as good as mine. Who's behind
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: center come week nine? I have no idea. I just
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: know that a lot of people believe that they didn't
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: bring into a Tongue of Iloa to be a backup
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: to Pennix Junior. So I'm very curious to see how
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: that whole thing sorts itself out. The one answer that
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: we haven't gotten yet, and I thought of the phone
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: call that we had last night. We had was it
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Kevin in Phoenix. I think Kevin gave us a call
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: and we're looking for the Week one opponent for the Seahawks,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: and so we got a couple other teams. They're off
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: the list now, so no Rams, no Niners. Those teams
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: are playing each other in Australia the next night, So
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: the first game of the season, Seahawks hosting a mystery
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: opponent on Wednesday. Then Thursday we'll see the Rams and
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the Niners. So that's not on the list right. We
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: also know that the Cowboys are face seeing the Giants
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: in Week one. So those teams that Seahawks can't host.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: We also learned that the Chiefs they're gonna be playing
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: on Monday night, so they're not a possible home game
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: for the Seahawks either. So it's down to four teams
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: and I think three. Real answer, it was Mike in Phoenix,
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: My bad Mike, not Kevin. Mike hit us up and
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: he was like, it's gonna be the Arizona Cardinals taking
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: on the Seahawks. And I'm like, no, it's not. But
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: he was cool and we had some fun. But he
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: gave us a couple of reasons. He's like, you got
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame running backs, Jeremiah loved Jadarian Price on opposite
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: teams going up against each other, kind of a fun angle.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: You know, it's not a national it's not a national game.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: It's not a national matchup. That's not going to be it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: So it's really down to three teams. It's either the Chargers,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: the Bears, or the Patriots for that Week one season opener.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: It's the Banner Day, you know, the whole thing with
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks. Who are they hosting. I kind of hope
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: it's the Bears. I do hope it's the Bears. I
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: think that's the most intriguing matchup. I don't know that
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: they would run it back with the Patriots. You really
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: want to go through all that? Can you imagine if
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: that's the Week one matchup, first game of the year,
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Wednesday Night, Wednesday Night football? The Patriots come to town
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: to take on the Seahawks. And maybe you heard about
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: this whole Mike Vrabel thing all off season long. Do
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: you think the NFL wants to go into that Week
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: one for your premiere event?
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Season is back?
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: Football's back?
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Baby?
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Hey, let's talk more Mike Vrabel in the love boat
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: with Diana Rassinia.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: Probably not?
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Probably not so, And really just put that to the
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: side the matchup itself, just football wise. As a football fan,
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I'm not that intrigued with that matchup. If that's what
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: it is, I'd watch it beginning to end. Don't get
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: me wrong, But Patriots Seahawks. I just watched the Seahawks
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: smack around the Patriots on a neutral field. You think
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: it's gonna be completely different with the Patriots on the road.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I don't.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not huge on that matchup, So I hope it's
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: the Bears. I'd be Okay, with the Chargers, I wouldn't
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: hate that, but I'd go bear Seahawks. I think those
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: two teams they're gonna be in the mix throughout the season,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: should be in the playoffs. I'm guessing they will be there.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: You know what's crazy is both the Patriots and the Seahawks,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the teams that were in last year's Super Bowl, right
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: last season super Bowl, they were not playoff teams the
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: season prior. That's pretty crazy, right, So you think about
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: the Seahawks not only won the super Bowl, they were
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: the one seed. They went from non playoff team to
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: number one seed and super Bowl champs. The Patriots went
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: from four and thirteen to a two seed and a
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: super Bowl appearance. So it just shows you how much
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: parody there is in the end. Well, really, give me
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: your best guess the two non playoff teams from last
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: season that will be a one seed and a two
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: seed and meet in the super Bowl this season. But
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: good luck, good luck figuring that one out. It's not
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: easy to do at all, as far as the team's
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: pulling it out and as far as guessing who would

  Speaker 8: nature didn't cooperate.
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: It did rain a little bit, but I absolutely loved
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: the whole Boston Massachusetts thing. I was actually looking up
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: a place to rent in Salem. I think that would
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: be a really fun place to live for a little while,
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: But it's really expensive over there, so I don't know
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: how that's gonna work.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Hmm. Yeah, you really must have liked Salem a lot.
• 35:00
  Speaker 7: You loved it, and now I'm looking at like going
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: back in October or something when it's actually like spooky season.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: Why did you love it so much? What did it
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: for you? You're looking up rent over there?
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: No, I like the small town vibe of it. I
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: like how everything was really historical and kind of old.
• 35:19
  Speaker 7: And then every movie I've watched, like hocus Pocase since then,
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: and I'm just like, I just love the whole vibe
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: of it.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: I think I could are you like a horror movie girl.
• 35:30
  Speaker 7: No, I cover my eyes and I swell my popcorn
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: when I get scared.

  Speaker 3: you that I'm sure a lot of.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: People have on the male side, Lorena.
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: What would you say are a couple of ways for
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: a guy just to be a more attractive bachelor, just
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: the more attractive candidate in general.

  Speaker 4: What would you say?
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: Okay, I'm going to say, make sure you have all
• 36:06
  Speaker 7: your ducks in a row, right. If you really want
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: to be a good a good match for a person,
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: you got to make sure you have all your things together.

  Speaker 7: So maybe maybe you're a car, your own place, like
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: things that, make sure you can have your own feet right,
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: because you want to make sure you can support so
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: on and so forth. Maybe yeah, yeah, just make sure

• 36:51
  Speaker 7: what I'm saying.

• 36:54
  Speaker 7: Unless you want to struggle bus together, which a lot
• 36:55
  Speaker 7: of people love to do. I'm not there.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Really, that's the new thing. That's a new relationship thing.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Let's just struggle together instead, yeah, separately.
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: And you know, and then you can sing that song
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: together sort of from the bottom now we're here.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: No, not me though, No, you don't. You don't get
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: down like that.
• 37:11

• 37:14
  Speaker 7: and I don't want to play sugar mama. That's not
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: my that's not my thing.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: You know what, there's a really funny Chris Rock bit
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: that just popped into my head where he said men
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: cannot go backwards in life sexually, right, and women cannot
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: go back backwards in life, you know, like living style wise. Yeah,
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of truth to that, right, And the
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: examples he gave is off the top of my head,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: is years and years ago. But he's like, if you know,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: if a girl went to a guy's place and he
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: had his own place, that girl is never going to
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: go out with a guy that doesn't have his own
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: place anymore, right, Like that's just how they roll from
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: that point forward.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: You'd probably agree with that. I think there's a lot
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: of truth to that.
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: I'm both indeed, Yeah.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, yeap.
