0:00
Speaker 1: Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number two, our number two,
0:07
Speaker 1: and it's all about the gripe department. What is the
0:11
Speaker 1: most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star players saying,
0:17
Speaker 1: pay us the activism over the weekend even though the
0:21
Speaker 1: league's losing millions and millions of dollars. Also, what are
0:24
Speaker 1: your expectations for Chris Paul's return to the Clippers for
0:28
Speaker 1: a last dance? And how do you process Ben Simmons
0:33
Speaker 1: drawing interest from not one, not two, not three, but
0:37
Speaker 1: four NBA teams. We'll talk about that as well right
0:41
Speaker 1: now here. It is our number two. It's another remake,
0:48
Speaker 1: clueless the basketball story. Welcome in the beginning of another
0:55
Speaker 1: hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,
0:59
Speaker 1: m Freewhere, shoulder to shoulders, we are your midnight companion,
1:06
Speaker 1: and beyond, coast to coast, border to border, on the
1:10
Speaker 1: vast and vivaciously powerful microphones of fs are am monating
1:16
Speaker 1: live from the board, just the sounding board of the
1:21
Speaker 1: nighttime hours here the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
1:26
Speaker 1: by Laker Lapdog Rick. Oh what a dope. But our
1:31
Speaker 1: lead this hours we get settled in is from Bouncy
1:36
Speaker 1: Ball but not not that kind of bouncy ball. This
1:38
Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part
1:41
Speaker 1: by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
1:44
Speaker 1: ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
1:48
Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
1:52
Speaker 1: freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
1:57
Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation tire Raq the way tire buying
2:01
Speaker 1: should be. So we'll get to the thing that you
2:04
Speaker 1: came here for in a minute, but I'm gonna start
2:06
Speaker 1: with this the protest department. I was told by several
2:11
Speaker 1: Pea ones that I let down my guard in the
2:16
Speaker 1: previous edition of the show. We were so hyper focused
2:19
Speaker 1: on the Mallard palooza. We had lean and mean, Lean
2:23
Speaker 1: and Mean Mather monologues, and several of you knuckleheads said, well,
2:27
Speaker 1: how could you know talk about the story was the
2:29
Speaker 1: biggest story in sports that you didn't talk about it?
2:31
Speaker 1: You should have talked about it. Why did you talk
2:33
Speaker 1: about it? Those angry women? You should have talked about
2:36
Speaker 1: the angry women. I was like, well, I don't really
2:39
Speaker 1: talk about that sport other than Caitlin Clark, But if
2:42
Speaker 1: you want me to talk about it, I will talk
2:44
Speaker 1: about it. So your dreams have come true. Your dreams
2:48
Speaker 1: have come true. So I think you might know where
2:50
Speaker 1: I'm going with this, but maybe not.
2:53
Speaker 2: So.
2:54
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, I did not see this. Why would
2:58
Speaker 1: I watch it? There's no reason for you to wort.
3:00
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. I don't really care. Apparently, the
3:03
Speaker 1: two teams representing the w NBA All Star Game wore
3:09
Speaker 1: protest shirts saying pay us what you owe us. Okay.
3:16
Speaker 1: That was in response to the ongoing negotiation and the blowback.
3:22
Speaker 1: These angry women here, very upset that the w NBA
3:25
Speaker 1: is not paying them the riches of Solomon, and so
3:29
Speaker 1: the players wore the shirts hurting warm ups. They later
3:31
Speaker 1: apparently held up pay the player signs Okay, well that's it.
3:36
Speaker 1: I'm sure the owners were like, well, we're not gonna
3:38
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do this. But once we saw those
3:40
Speaker 1: T shirts, we're in. I mean that, come on, we
3:44
Speaker 1: got to pay them. We weren't gonna pay them, but
3:45
Speaker 1: those T shirts were done. So the the w NBA,
3:49
Speaker 1: which is a fledgling operation with literally a few people watching,
3:56
Speaker 1: they've got this labor dispute going on, and of course
4:00
Speaker 1: all of this is getting overshadowed by the dogpile of
4:05
Speaker 1: people that cannot believe what they're witnessing, Like, what are
4:09
Speaker 1: we doing here? They're really doing this now. Caitlin Clark
4:14
Speaker 1: the only person worth watching in the entire WNBA. She
4:18
Speaker 1: did not play in the game, apparently I was told
4:21
Speaker 1: I didn't watched the game. But she was an honorary
4:23
Speaker 1: coach and she also took part in the protests, so
4:27
Speaker 1: there is that as well. So let us discuss the
4:29
Speaker 1: question question is what is the most puzzling What is
4:34
Speaker 1: the most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star pay
4:38
Speaker 1: us activism with the shirts at the All Star Game.
4:42
Speaker 1: So I've got ubering, Donnie Brasco and designer label and
4:49
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
4:53
Speaker 1: are going to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies, soft
4:58
Speaker 1: and chewy, gooey, chewy goodness. So number said number one umber.
5:08
Speaker 1: So this is rich. I don't mean as in the
5:11
Speaker 1: players are getting rich. It is just rich. And I
5:14
Speaker 1: would argue that hutzba, which is a very enjoyable word
5:18
Speaker 1: to say, the word hutsba, that does not quite cover
5:23
Speaker 1: the basis on this one. Using the word hutzba This
5:26
Speaker 1: is delusion. Delugion is what this is there, So where
5:31
Speaker 1: do we start? Why don't we start with this? How
5:33
Speaker 1: about we'll start with this? So owe you? What is
5:38
Speaker 1: the question? What exactly are you owed as a w
5:41
Speaker 1: NBA player? Last I checked, And I don't think I'm
5:44
Speaker 1: wrong on this, But as I understand the economics of
5:47
Speaker 1: the WNBA, the league exists not because of overwhelming public demand,
5:54
Speaker 1: not because of amazing ticket sales, not because of massive
5:57
Speaker 1: television ratings. No, no, no, no, no, no, none of
6:00
Speaker 1: those things. None of those things. It turns out that
6:04
Speaker 1: the WNBA exists because the NBA works as a wait
6:08
Speaker 1: for it, sugar daddy. That's right. The NBA is the
6:13
Speaker 1: sugar daddy. They are the ones keeping those checks coming
6:18
Speaker 1: in there and keeping the lights on and all that stuff.
6:20
Speaker 1: So it is a league that has been on life
6:23
Speaker 1: support for some time, subsidized by the sugar Nadi Adam
6:29
Speaker 1: Silver and Basketball atm Adam Silver and the people that
6:33
Speaker 1: own the NBA. And it's a little money here, little
6:37
Speaker 1: money there, and it's actually a lot of money. And
6:41
Speaker 1: they don't get a lot of bang for their buck.
6:43
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of bang for the buck there,
6:45
Speaker 1: and if the WNBA was a standalone business and they
6:51
Speaker 1: had to make it on their own, hear me, roar,
6:55
Speaker 1: they would have been so far gone like the people
7:00
Speaker 1: that are complaining about this now, they wouldn't even know
7:02
Speaker 1: the WM existed because it would have gone away before
7:04
Speaker 1: they were born. Okay, so it would have been buried
7:09
Speaker 1: in a popper's grave there decades ago. But somehow, somehow,
7:14
Speaker 1: some way, the players, because of social media, they believe
7:18
Speaker 1: they're getting short changed. They're getting the old screw job here,
7:20
Speaker 1: the WNBA players, And it's just wild to me. It
7:24
Speaker 1: blows me away the sports economy. What's popular, what's not popular?
7:31
Speaker 1: Like do they live in a parallel dimension. Maybe I'm
7:34
Speaker 1: living in a parallel dimension. But it just seems crazy
7:37
Speaker 1: that this is a league being propped up by the
7:39
Speaker 1: NBA and these women are out there complaining that they
7:41
Speaker 1: need to get more money. Without the NBA paying the bill,
7:45
Speaker 1: Without the sugar daddy NBA paying the bill, these teams,
7:49
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be flying charter, they wouldn't be flying commercial,
7:53
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be flying at all. They'd be nowhere to
7:55
Speaker 1: fly to. Okay, these women would be ubering to the
7:58
Speaker 1: why to play pickup back skip balls what they'd be doing, okay,
8:02
Speaker 1: and they'd have the same amount of people that care
8:04
Speaker 1: at the why as they do now. The average WNBA player,
8:08
Speaker 1: the average NBA player thinks and I don't know. Again,
8:13
Speaker 1: it's because of social media. They've convinced themselves that they
8:16
Speaker 1: are part of some kind of cultural revolution. But in reality,
8:20
Speaker 1: it's Caitlyn Clark and one hundred and fifty six other
8:24
Speaker 1: people who are writing her coattails. Okay, that's what's going
8:28
Speaker 1: on here. And so she is the lottery ticket. Caitlin Clark,
8:32
Speaker 1: as we've talked about, she's the show, she's the draw,
8:34
Speaker 1: she's the anomaly. And even when she plays poorly she
8:36
Speaker 1: has in some recent games, apparently it doesn't matter because
8:39
Speaker 1: when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the
8:41
Speaker 1: legend the man that shot Liberty Balance, the legend of
8:43
Speaker 1: Katelyn Clark, even if she has terrible stat lines, it
8:45
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And the rest of the
8:49
Speaker 1: WNBA it is a collection of flotsam and jetsam is
8:52
Speaker 1: what it is. Okay, that's what it is. It's swirling
8:56
Speaker 1: around in her wake. There's Caitlin Clark and all these
8:59
Speaker 1: other players are swirling around, and it's there's a scientifical
9:05
Speaker 1: term for this, it's mistaking relevance by association. You think
9:10
Speaker 1: you're relevant by the people you hang out with, but
9:13
Speaker 1: it's no, it's their their relevance. You're not relevant. You
9:17
Speaker 1: don't have any actual relevance at all. You don't. And
9:21
Speaker 1: so Caylin Clark, she's out there doing her thing whatever,
9:25
Speaker 1: and really the other players are weighing her down more
9:27
Speaker 1: than anything right there. If the NBA, and they ask
9:29
Speaker 1: you this, if the WNBA went away today, later today,
9:34
Speaker 1: when the sun comes up they announced the NBAA said,
9:36
Speaker 1: we're pulling the plug. ITX nay on the money, A
9:40
Speaker 1: We're out, no more checks, sugar, Daddy's done, Bye bye.
9:45
Speaker 1: If the WNBA went away, poof just vanished in the
9:51
Speaker 1: thin air, just gone see you later. Would you notice
9:58
Speaker 1: how many people would really care? I don't not many.
10:03
Speaker 1: I know there'd be some woke journalists out there that right,
10:05
Speaker 1: think pieces on the internet, oh my god, this was
10:07
Speaker 1: the worst stuck in the world. Of course, those people
10:09
Speaker 1: have the very long bios about how great they are
10:12
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and there'd be a handful of
10:14
Speaker 1: lunatics out there complaining on I guess cable news or whatever.
10:18
Speaker 1: But other than that, that's about it. So again, if
10:21
Speaker 1: you want fairness, if we strive for fairness, and you
10:26
Speaker 1: look at the economics here, the WNBA lost, according to
10:30
Speaker 1: multiple sources, forty million dollars last year. They were going
10:34
Speaker 1: to lose fifty they made up ten millions. They lost
10:36
Speaker 1: forty million dollars last year. So let's do some back
10:40
Speaker 1: of the napkin malard map. So roughly one hundred and
10:44
Speaker 1: fifty six players in the WNBA. Divide the forty million
10:48
Speaker 1: loss by those one hundred fifty six players. So each
10:52
Speaker 1: player would then have to cut a check for over
10:54
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That would be fair.
10:59
Speaker 1: Do you think that's going to happened? I don't think so. Yeah,
11:01
Speaker 1: I think we know the answer to that. Now page two,
11:04
Speaker 1: let's transition to a sport people actually do care about
11:07
Speaker 1: pro bouncy ball, the men's version. And after weeks of chatter, chitter, chatter,
11:13
Speaker 1: weeks and weeks of chatter, the deal is now done.
11:17
Speaker 1: The deal is now done. What is it? C P
11:23
Speaker 1: Three Going back to the people's team, So question, what
11:26
Speaker 1: are your expectations for Chris Paul and his return to
11:32
Speaker 1: the Clippers for a last dance in La La Land.
11:38
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna tackle it this way. There's a lot
11:41
Speaker 1: of unknowledgeable people out there, like Rico and some others
11:47
Speaker 1: who seem to think that Chris Paul's going to go
11:50
Speaker 1: in there and be a thirty five to forty minute
11:52
Speaker 1: a night player. This one called low information fan. It's
11:55
Speaker 1: a low information fan. Am I excited about Chris Paul Clippers? No,
12:00
Speaker 1: not particularly, I'm not. I know he's gonna be a
12:03
Speaker 1: bit player. He's gonna be like kind of a trophy,
12:05
Speaker 1: a mascot. He can hang out with Chuck the Condor,
12:08
Speaker 1: they can do bits at halftime. So I look at
12:11
Speaker 1: it like Chris Paul's treating the Clippers like, Hey, I
12:15
Speaker 1: want to be in La. My family's in La now,
12:17
Speaker 1: my life is in La. So I'm gonna treat the
12:19
Speaker 1: Clippers like a nostalgia museum. And the Clippers are okay,
12:24
Speaker 1: we'll take that. We're fine. If you give us fifteen
12:26
Speaker 1: minutes a game or whatever, we're in cahoots. Now. My
12:29
Speaker 1: expectation is Chris Paul's gonna play a little bit, He'll
12:33
Speaker 1: win a couple of games from him, he'll get hurt
12:36
Speaker 1: and that's it. But it's like, I have no real
12:39
Speaker 1: expectations for Chris Paul doing anything. Why would I, Because
12:43
Speaker 1: when the moment's the biggest, he comes up the smallest.
12:45
Speaker 1: That's what Chris Paul's always done. And if you ever
12:49
Speaker 1: hang on, I don't know how old you are, but
12:51
Speaker 1: if you have that T shirt, that really comfortable t shirt,
12:53
Speaker 1: maybe it's a pair of boxer shorts or whatever that
12:56
Speaker 1: you had, maybe back in college, and you hold on
12:58
Speaker 1: to it because it's just wonder and it brings back
13:01
Speaker 1: fond memories, it's got sentimental value, and you're like, well,
13:03
Speaker 1: this is pretty cool. That's essentially what CP three is.
13:07
Speaker 1: He's an old pair of boxer shorts with holes in
13:09
Speaker 1: them and the clippers kind of like it. If you
13:12
Speaker 1: want to use a food analogy to the impact Chris
13:15
Speaker 1: Paul is going to have, it's like going through the
13:18
Speaker 1: drive through at McDonald's and you order the big Mac
13:22
Speaker 1: combo meal from McDonald's and you go through the bag.
13:26
Speaker 1: At the very bottom of the bag, you've taken the
13:28
Speaker 1: items out of the bag, and you take a look
13:32
Speaker 1: and there's an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Now,
13:36
Speaker 1: you didn't ask for an extra fy. You said I
13:37
Speaker 1: don't need an extra fy. I mean, I got enough.
13:40
Speaker 1: But you look, it's right there, and it's it's kind
13:43
Speaker 1: of an older fry. Maybe got caught in something in
13:46
Speaker 1: the machine and all that, and it's getting kind of
13:49
Speaker 1: soft and soggy and all that, and it's not that good,
13:52
Speaker 1: but it's still food.
13:53
Speaker 2: You know.
13:53
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, technically, you know you didn't ask for it,
13:56
Speaker 1: you didn't expect it. But this gets to be a nonsense.
14:00
Speaker 1: This is what I low these retirement tours. You don't
14:04
Speaker 1: announce your retirement, you just retire. Now I'm retiring. Just
14:09
Speaker 1: step away. Do what Tim Duncan did. Just put on
14:13
Speaker 1: some dad jeans and that's it. Go away. But instead
14:17
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one video tribute after another. Every city
14:19
Speaker 1: he goes to Chris Paul. Like I said, he'd be
14:21
Speaker 1: hanging out with Chuck the Condor. He'll be hanging out
14:25
Speaker 1: at halftime of games. He'll be kissing babies, taking photos
14:28
Speaker 1: with fans. They should have a photo booth with Chris Paul.
14:32
Speaker 1: So there's that, and it's like the farewell Tour sponsored
14:37
Speaker 1: by AARP which is a sponsor of the Washington Nationals.
14:40
Speaker 1: By the way, I was watching the Nationals game with
14:42
Speaker 1: the Reds last night and they had on the field AARP,
14:46
Speaker 1: which I'm sure Baseball's marketing people love because they try
14:48
Speaker 1: to trying to get a younger crowd, so they have
14:50
Speaker 1: AARP as their sponsor. Anyway, it's kind of like a
14:55
Speaker 1: restaurant to use a different approach to this. Chris Paul
14:59
Speaker 1: to the Clippers like a restaurant trying to revive its
15:01
Speaker 1: business by bringing back a popular waiter they got rid
15:04
Speaker 1: of thirty years ago. This bring that waiter back. Then
15:08
Speaker 1: people like that waiter. We'll bring the waiter back. God,
15:10
Speaker 1: but Chris Paul used to be a big deal, and
15:12
Speaker 1: I love the Lob City. The Lob City days were fun.
15:15
Speaker 1: I don't hate the Lob City days. I hate Doc Rivers,
15:17
Speaker 1: I hate Blake Griffin and those guys. But the Lob
15:21
Speaker 1: City is that was the arrival, That was the birth
15:23
Speaker 1: of the Clippers. They were irrelevant, they didn't matter. Now
15:25
Speaker 1: they run La La runs through the Clippers because of
15:28
Speaker 1: the Lob City days. Ever since then, they're one of
15:30
Speaker 1: the top teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been
15:32
Speaker 1: an embarrassment, no championship since Kobe Bryant and the Clippers
15:35
Speaker 1: got to a Final four. In that time, it's been wonderful.
15:38
Speaker 1: It's been wonderful. But in terms of him being a
15:40
Speaker 1: leading actor, Chris Paul with the Clippers, to quote Donnie Brasco,
15:43
Speaker 1: forgot about it. Remember that old forgot about it. Come on,
15:46
Speaker 1: if the Clippers playoff fortunes are dependent on CP three
15:52
Speaker 1: stepping his game up in a key MOLMD in the spring,
15:56
Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty six, they're porked. They're done.
15:59
Speaker 1: That's it. See you later, all right, now, final point.
16:01
Speaker 1: We turned the page. After a brief sojourn with the Clippers,
16:07
Speaker 1: the former number one overall pick NBA draft, the Aussie
16:12
Speaker 1: muffed it Ben Simmons, making all Ben's look bad. So
16:16
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons is looking for a gig, we are told
16:19
Speaker 1: now the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns, the New York Knickerbockers,
16:23
Speaker 1: and the Sacramento Kings have all kicked the tires on
16:27
Speaker 1: Ben Simmons. So how do you process a failed basketball
16:32
Speaker 1: player that has not one, not two, not three, but
16:34
Speaker 1: four teams that he's drawing interest from around the NBA.
16:39
Speaker 1: So your thoughts on this. So Ben Simmons continues to
16:43
Speaker 1: be tantalizing because people are stuck in a different era, right,
16:50
Speaker 1: That's the problem in the league. They say this in
16:52
Speaker 1: all sports, but in football and basketball, you never give
16:55
Speaker 1: up on talent. Every coach thinks they have the magic
16:59
Speaker 1: recipe to unlock the higher ability of a player. And
17:05
Speaker 1: so Ben Simmons is like the ultimate what if? What
17:10
Speaker 1: if he stayed healthy? What if he found a love
17:12
Speaker 1: for basketball? What if he found a jump shot? What
17:15
Speaker 1: if you could convince him that anything outside the painted
17:19
Speaker 1: area is not lava and you can actually go out
17:21
Speaker 1: there and shoot the basketball. And it's the ultimate what if?
17:25
Speaker 1: Like if only he got his conference? What about this?
17:28
Speaker 1: What about that? What about? What about? What about? What about?
17:30
Speaker 1: What about? What about? What about? What about? What about?
17:32
Speaker 1: It's what about?
17:33
Speaker 2: Is up?
17:34
Speaker 1: So really the Celtics, the Knicks and these other teams
17:38
Speaker 1: that have been mentioned in the gossip, what they are
17:41
Speaker 1: doing is they're going HGTV. They're doing the beach Front
17:46
Speaker 1: bargain hunt. They're trying to find a bargain, Like, how
17:49
Speaker 1: can we do this? Ben Simmons, It's like what Rob
17:52
Speaker 1: Parker does our friend Rob when he goes shopping, Rob
17:56
Speaker 1: tries to find the designer label on a clearance rack,
18:01
Speaker 1: and that's Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons was a designer label.
18:04
Speaker 1: He was a prodigy, he was international man of mystery.
18:08
Speaker 1: He was all of that and a bag of chips.
18:11
Speaker 1: And he's none of that anymore. However, at the time
18:15
Speaker 1: you can sell it, you said, well, this guy was
18:17
Speaker 1: the number one pick and all this stuff. But he's
18:19

Speaker 2: The people they got on the phone.
25:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do realize you're on the phone. Hello, You're
25:54
Speaker 1: you're self incriminating. You're on the phone. You're ripping the
25:58
Speaker 1: people on the phone. You're literally on the phone right
26:00
Speaker 1: now on the air.
26:01
Speaker 2: Hello, you want, you want? These people have gotten better
26:08
Speaker 2: to do with their lives.

26:21
Speaker 1: Angry Bill, you're repeating yourself.
26:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't repeat yourself. You know what?
26:25
Speaker 1: You sound like a nine year old girls? Would you
26:28
Speaker 1: sound like? How about that?
26:29
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah makes sense to me.
26:31
Speaker 1: All right, go away, thank you feel better, Angry Bill.
26:34
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're you're you're well enough to call up
26:36
Speaker 1: and bitch, I'm thank you. So happy he's back, man, Yeah,
26:41
Speaker 1: he's back. How lucky are we? Sailo to Andrew in Bakersfield,
26:47
Speaker 1: who did some kind of hip hop rapping. My ears
26:54
Speaker 1: are still bleeding from that. Hello Andrew?
26:57
Speaker 7: What's up? Ben so in the vain as Tony in
27:01
Speaker 7: the bay? Okay, I'd like to say I was thinking
27:04
Speaker 7: about fitting it into the rhyme yesterday. But if Ben
27:10
Speaker 7: was any better, he'd be a Clipper, but not a
27:13
Speaker 7: Los Angeles Clipper because they suck.
27:20
Speaker 1: Well, he gets worse and worse. I mean, I don't
27:23
Speaker 1: know how someone could be that bad at calling talk radio.
27:26
Speaker 1: It seems so simple. You call up and you talk
27:28
Speaker 1: and does he not realize that Tony the bey aer
27:31
Speaker 1: is actually funny with the stuff that he does. Does
27:33
Speaker 1: he not understand Andrew, You're not funny? Is just the
27:36
Speaker 1: Hour of Terrible? Is just like the out Can I
27:39
Speaker 1: get anybody? Does any other callers suck more? Can I
27:41
Speaker 1: get all the bad people on the phone right now?
27:43
Speaker 8: I think it's like the pendulum, Ben, it has to
27:46
Speaker 8: come back.
27:47
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. It is amusing, though, that
27:52
Speaker 1: the Lakers wanted all of these washed up players, right
27:55
Speaker 1: the Clippers have added but yet they picked the Clippers right,
27:58
Speaker 1: Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, the Lakers wanted him, Chris Paul
28:03
Speaker 1: but since they didn't sign with the Lakers, it's like, well,
28:06
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, they're all a bunch of stiffs. They
28:08
Speaker 1: all suck all that stuff. Okay, it's hilarious.
28:11
Speaker 8: You always talked about how Bradley Beal is such a
28:14
Speaker 8: stiff and he sucks, and you know, now it's like, oh,
28:18
Speaker 8: the Clippers got on the people's team.
28:20
Speaker 1: He wanted to come to the people's team. Well, he
28:22
Speaker 1: did choose the Clippers rather than the Lakers or anyone else.
28:26
Speaker 1: I think it's rather impressive. It's a great testimonial to
28:29
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer's ownership that the players want to go there.
28:32
Speaker 1: It's a destination.
28:33
Speaker 7: You got.
28:35
Speaker 1: Suck. They've got They don't play on skid row. They
28:37
Speaker 1: played a beautiful palace, the Dome, the into It Dome
28:41
Speaker 1: there in the hood in Inglewood. It's just just wonderful.
28:44
Speaker 1: So and what are the Lakers got. They got Luca
28:47
Speaker 1: eating cake off on the side there.
28:49
Speaker 8: That's what they Luca's ripped, he's felt in trouble. He's
28:56
Speaker 8: got a defensive Player of the Year on the team
29:00
Speaker 8: watch out.
29:01
Speaker 1: From ten years ago. Yes, and he's gonna have the
29:04
Speaker 1: guy eating the morning shoot around eating donuts and then
29:07
Speaker 1: you know, the third week of the season, by the
29:09
Speaker 1: time he keeps eating those donuts every morning, forget about it.
29:12
Speaker 1: Let's sailo to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre,
29:15
Speaker 1: save us from the hour of terrible. Andre and his
29:18
Speaker 1: dog Willis, we're in the malor Palooza. Yesterday did not
29:21
Speaker 1: go well for Willis and Andre. A compelling act, but
29:26
Speaker 1: they did not finish in the final four. Hello to you, Andre,
29:30
Speaker 1: and your dog. Willis.
29:32
Speaker 6: Hello, Ben, It's good to be with you. Willis right now,
29:35
Speaker 6: he's in the mix. Actually he's been stirred so he
29:38
Speaker 6: might participate in this call. But Ben, let me first
29:41
Speaker 6: of all say put a victor goes to spoils.
29:44
Speaker 9: So we got Jade Schoop, we.
29:45
Speaker 6: Got Ohio kick drinking, Steve ben Att the comedian, and
29:49
Speaker 6: Valerie I tip my hand, all right, to the final four.
29:52
Speaker 6: I'm gonna play the ball. I'm not gonna say hooman
29:54
Speaker 6: a vote for specifically, but Willis and I were showing respect,
29:58
Speaker 6: all right, for those who have made it this Listen
30:00
Speaker 6: at NCAA tournament then, where we got sixty eight teams, okay,
30:03
Speaker 6: and only four make it to that, to that semi finals,
30:06
Speaker 6: and never mind a championship. All right, So we're talking
30:08
Speaker 6: about the zenis a right of a mountain, and I'm
30:11
Speaker 6: not talking about mountain and Nadnock then, okay, maybe Mount McKinley.
30:15
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna say Everest, but it's up there. It's
30:17
Speaker 6: up there now. One of the previous callers right below
30:20
Speaker 6: some disparaging comments.
30:22
Speaker 2: All right.
30:22
Speaker 6: First of all, the credit belongs to the man in
30:24
Speaker 6: the arena all right, so the previous call if you
30:27
Speaker 6: have an issue with the mallor militia the mallet palooza,
30:29
Speaker 6: all right and put your hat in the ring, right
30:32
Speaker 6: and get down for the crown, you know so myself,
30:34
Speaker 6: that's right.
30:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, these guys are a bunch of cowards. Angry Bill's
30:37
Speaker 1: a coward, is what he is coming. But none of
30:39
Speaker 1: them actually on the mine. He hides his phone. All
30:42
Speaker 1: these guys are fake tough guys, you know what I mean.
30:45
Speaker 6: So me and Willis, we're thrilled, okay, you know, we
30:49
Speaker 6: try to put together in a little bit a little something,
30:51
Speaker 6: you know, with Willis, chime, Danie, look quiet right now.
30:54
Speaker 6: You know he's recuperating, but he's gonna be back wolf
30:56
Speaker 6: and better than ever, you know. And there was a ron.
30:58
Speaker 1: It was a very emotional, very emotional night for Willis.
31:01
Speaker 1: There's a lot of barking that went on there and
31:03
Speaker 1: uh not enough, but a lot. And so that's likely
31:07
Speaker 1: why Willis is for clemped, very emotional right right.
31:11
Speaker 6: Right, he got he got to step up the barking,
31:12
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, when when they say we're
31:14
Speaker 6: the dogs that Willis has to be right there. But
31:16
Speaker 6: he was excited at the prospect We were excited at
31:20
Speaker 6: the prospects. Possibly all right, he's getting fired up, possibly
31:24
Speaker 6: being a mascot, because that was the theme yesterday.
31:26
Speaker 9: So you know, I love you know what I mean.
31:29
Speaker 6: And the Mallard Militia, you know, the Mallor pound dogs okay,
31:33
Speaker 6: all right, or the Malor war dogs, you know, because
31:35
Speaker 6: Willis he is a malinof those are the canine dogs
31:38
Speaker 6: that serve for the police unit. You know, they serve
31:40
Speaker 6: our military folks. So he had that in him. Okay,
31:43
Speaker 6: it's a topic for further discussion. Obviously, we're gonna need
31:46
Speaker 6: a quorum of the Malon Militia before any such decision
31:48
Speaker 6: is made, all right, But just to be in the
31:51
Speaker 6: mix in the conversation was what was thrilling for us, Ben,
31:55
Speaker 6: So I'm going to place the vote top four. We're
31:57
Speaker 6: tipping the hat to you now. In terms of sorts,
32:00
Speaker 6: then this w NBA situation and by the way, it
32:03
Speaker 6: is the situation, okay, in terms of the players, and
32:06
Speaker 6: they want to get there just due. But never mind,
32:08
Speaker 6: the league has never made money. You know, they only
32:10
Speaker 6: get nine percent of the salary. They want more, and
32:12
Speaker 6: we're kind of going back and forth here, you know,
32:15
Speaker 6: I have to say, you know, as a true blue
32:17
Speaker 6: hooper that supports the w NBA hook line and sinker,
32:19
Speaker 6: We're going back to ninety seven ben Tina Cooper, uh
32:23
Speaker 6: Tina Thompson, Cynthia Cooper, the Houston Rockets, the initial championship
32:26
Speaker 6: under the leadership of David Turns. The bottom line is,
32:28
Speaker 6: if this back and forth nonsense with the presiding star
32:32
Speaker 6: that's Kaitlyn Clark, it has to end. A couple of
32:35
Speaker 6: WNBA players went in the press conference and they said,
32:37
Speaker 6: I'm not talking out of school, but I don't mind
32:39
Speaker 6: telling you that Kitlyn Clark's team didn't wear the pay shirts.
32:44
Speaker 1: That girl's name Kelse Plump.
32:46
Speaker 6: Come on, now, you know what are we doing, Chelsea.
32:51
Speaker 6: The bottom line on kicking over the other callers.
32:53
Speaker 1: The SB comedy bit. Nobody knows who these people are.
32:58
Speaker 6: It has to stop the feuding among himself. It's gone beyond.
33:01
Speaker 1: There's nothing diffute about it. They're not making money. There's
33:05
Speaker 1: no when they start making money they can then argue
33:08
Speaker 1: for some of the money. They're not making money, so
33:10
Speaker 1: there's nothing to fight about. If you're in a business
33:12
Speaker 1: that's not making money, you're not going to be able
33:15
Speaker 1: to get more money. I got to leave it there,
33:16
Speaker 1: but thank you. On let's go to John in the
33:18
Speaker 1: truck who's cruising around. I'll get him on. He goes
33:21
Speaker 1: to the top of the line because all the other
33:23
Speaker 1: calls on. Hold sock, Hello John, what's going on? John?
33:27
Speaker 2: Then?
33:27
Speaker 9: First time, long time?
33:28
Speaker 2: How you doing?
33:29
Speaker 1: First time, long time? Wonderful? What's up sir? How can
33:33
Speaker 1: we help you?
33:34
Speaker 9: So from one of your feelings, I got to give
33:36
Speaker 9: them credit. That's where I got this idea from. But
33:39
Speaker 9: I wanted to hear your take on it. They were
33:42
Speaker 9: talking about how provos and the All Star Games are
33:47
Speaker 9: now just a waste of time from the viewers perspective.
33:51
Speaker 9: You know, these players, these multimillionaires, go out there but
33:56
Speaker 9: don't want to, you know, hurt themselves or try too hard.
34:00
Speaker 1: What you're saying is yes. You're saying there was is yes, yes?
34:05
Speaker 9: And do you think that they I know it's just
34:10
Speaker 9: a cash crowd for all these other billionaires that own
34:13
Speaker 9: the teams, but do you think there's any way possible
34:16
Speaker 9: they might get rid of these All Star Games? That
34:19
Speaker 9: you know? I'm a younger millennial, so I remember back
34:22
Speaker 9: in the early two thousands, those for the like the
34:25
Speaker 9: football Pro Bowls, those were fun to watch, you know,
34:29
Speaker 9: they were something to actually look into. But nowadays you
34:33
Speaker 9: just said touch football and if they seem too close
34:36
Speaker 9: to each other they fall.
34:37
Speaker 1: Well, it's not even it's not even that it's dodgeball,
34:40
Speaker 1: it's tic tac tall, it's tug of war like that,
34:43
Speaker 1: it's a flag football game. It's ridiculous. It's like they've
34:46
Speaker 1: pretty much gotten rid of it. And hockey they the
34:49
Speaker 1: only thing they had success with. They did that, the
34:52
Speaker 1: Four Nations thing. They that did pretty well. They got
34:54
Speaker 1: some buzz on that. But they do make money. It's
34:58
Speaker 1: a big event for corporate sponsors, as you know, John,
35:00
Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, right, You got to get
35:02
Speaker 1: those corporate people. It's a party, so vacation for a weekend.
35:06
Speaker 1: You go to the All Star festivities and all that stuff.
35:08
Speaker 1: But it's it's pretty bad. And you know, it's like
35:12
Speaker 1: you talk about where sports came from when they were
35:14
Speaker 1: trying to build up a fan base and where they
35:17
Speaker 1: are now. Now, maybe they'll get back to that point
35:19
Speaker 1: where they have to do things for fans, but they
35:21
Speaker 1: don't care about the people watching. They don't why should they?
35:25
Speaker 1: They get their money no matter what. It's like. I
35:28
Speaker 1: remember telling stories years ago there was a guy that
35:30
Speaker 1: played who was somebody I dealt with, This guy named
35:34
Speaker 1: Tommy Hawkins who played with the Lakers when they moved
35:37
Speaker 1: from Minneapolis, and Tommy would tell me stories about nobody
35:40
Speaker 1: cared about basketball, nobody cared about the NBA in those
35:43
Speaker 1: days in Sack and to get people to go to
35:45
Speaker 1: the games. When the Lakers moved from Minneapolis to La,
35:48
Speaker 1: Tommy Hawkins and the other Laker players were going the
35:50
Speaker 1: back of a flatbed truck and drive around with a
35:53
Speaker 1: megaphone around La saying, Hey, we're playing you know whoever tonight,
35:57
Speaker 1: come out and watch us play. Like the actual players
36:00
Speaker 1: in the afternoon would drive around and try to get
36:02
Speaker 1: people to go to watch them play. But they don't
36:05
Speaker 1: need that anymore. So it's like they don't do the
36:07
Speaker 1: bare minimum. They're all paranoid about getting hurt and all
36:09
Speaker 1: that stuff, and out of an abundance of cautions, nothing
36:12
Speaker 1: will ever get done out of an abundance of caution.
36:14
Speaker 1: I gotta leave it there, but thank you John in
