0:10
Speaker 1: you have stumbled onto the Ben Malor Show podcast on
0:12
Speaker 1: this fifth day of June. Happy Friday to you. We
0:16
Speaker 1: stayed up all night to give you a fresh pot
0:18
Speaker 1: and we're not stir crazy. To begin Hour two, will
0:21
Speaker 1: this NBA punishment a lifetime band stop future idiots from
0:27
Speaker 1: running onto the court or will it inspire the next
0:30
Speaker 1: TikTok daredevil as a fan ran out in the court
0:33
Speaker 1: during the NBA Finals Game one. Also, how does Nicks
0:36
Speaker 1: start Jalen Brunson keeping away from the Larry O'Brien trophy
0:41
Speaker 1: strike you? The NBA did a photo shoot and Brunson
0:44
Speaker 1: refused to get near the trophy. In addition to all that,
0:48
Speaker 1: in La La Land, is Austin Reeves truly worth a
0:52
Speaker 1: max contract with the Lakers? He's not going to give
0:56
Speaker 1: them a hometown discount. We'll talk about that as well.
0:58
Speaker 1: Right now, settle in. It's our number two.
1:07
Speaker 2: It is an alamo no no wel gome In the
1:13
Speaker 2: beginning of another.
1:16
Speaker 1: Hour of The Ben Malor Show. You know they keep happening.
1:20
Speaker 1: I can't we can't really stop it. We don't want
1:22
Speaker 1: to stop it. It's one after another, after another, after
1:27
Speaker 1: another after another, and it's it's kind of cool that
1:30
Speaker 1: it works that way. Yeah, we are in the air
1:34
Speaker 1: of reware as audio buddies make an all out effort
1:40
Speaker 1: to save a buck coast to coast, border to border
1:43
Speaker 1: and beyond on the vast and smashingly powerful microphones of
1:49
Speaker 1: fsre amminating live from the row, as I must be
1:55
Speaker 1: in the front row of your imagination unless I'm not
2:00
Speaker 1: teed human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio studios,
2:04
Speaker 1: where Blind Sea Bass, the Great Blind Sea Bass reminds us.
2:10
Speaker 1: This hour made possible in part by our friends at
2:12
Speaker 1: tire Rack. For over forty years, tire Rack has been

Speaker 1: tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast
2:27
Speaker 1: and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient
2:31
Speaker 1: installation options like mobile tire installation. I know our friend
2:37
Speaker 1: Kathy and Madison, a big fan of that, gives the
2:41
Speaker 1: old thumbs up on that move. And then I did
2:44
Speaker 1: get a message. I think it was Queen Roxanne, who
2:48
Speaker 1: reached out and said, Ben, can you please let the
2:50
Speaker 1: people know about express I said, okay, Queen Roxanne, you
2:54
Speaker 1: asked nice in Denver, so why not? And this hour
2:58
Speaker 1: is made possible by Expressing Employment Professionals. If you're skilled

3:07
Speaker 1: professionals connect skilled machinists, welders, and technicians with contract and
3:13
Speaker 1: full time manufacturing jobs. That's Express Employment Professionals. So our
3:19
Speaker 1: lead this hour is from pro bouncy Ball. Was there
3:24
Speaker 1: a game in pro bouncy Ball last night? Well? No,
3:28
Speaker 1: they don't play back to back. What do you want
3:31
Speaker 1: the players to die? Oh my god, they're bitching because
3:35
Speaker 1: they have days off between games and not enough time off.
3:38
Speaker 1: These guys, these modern claudiators of athletic competition. That's not
3:42
Speaker 1: we're going to start with them. We'll get to game
3:45
Speaker 1: two later on. We're going to focus in the story
3:48
Speaker 1: everyone's yapping about. This is how great the NBA is.
3:52
Speaker 1: You had a game that was somewhat closed, the Spurs
3:55
Speaker 1: blew a fourteen point lead, allowed the Knicks to score
3:59
Speaker 1: the final eleven points of the game. And the thing
4:03
Speaker 1: that everyone's talking about is some young dope who stormed
4:08
Speaker 1: the court. That's what everyone's yapping about. That's your NBA
4:12
Speaker 1: in a nutshell. So if you didn't see it, you
4:15
Speaker 1: didn't hear about it. I don't know what you've been doing.
4:18
Speaker 1: So one guy ran on the court, but there were
4:20
Speaker 1: two fans that were involved in this year. Because you
4:23
Speaker 1: got to have a partner in crime. Everyone knows that.
4:25
Speaker 1: So you had the guy that ran out in the court,
4:28
Speaker 1: the dumb dumb and then his partner. These two guys,
4:32
Speaker 1: they were hit with lifetime NBA arena bands. Yeah, banned
4:39
Speaker 1: for life. And they're young. I believe they're not even adults,
4:44
Speaker 1: so of course who knows these days, But anyway, so
4:48
Speaker 1: they've been banned for life. All of that because of
4:50
Speaker 1: the prank in Game one of the Finals, where the
4:54
Speaker 1: Knicks would go on to win. With six twenty eight
4:56
Speaker 1: left in the fourth quarter and the Knickerbocker's le eating
5:00
Speaker 1: by six points in the fourth quarter, this guy, one fan,
5:03
Speaker 1: ran out on the court. He tried to take a
5:06
Speaker 1: selfie with Victor Wembanyama. Now play was briefly stopped. Security
5:11
Speaker 1: quickly grabbed the guy and dragged him off the court. Now,
5:17
Speaker 1: the fan we believe he's a juvenile. Does that mean
5:20
Speaker 1: he goes to juvenile hall, he goes to juvie?
5:21
Speaker 3: Is that?
5:22
Speaker 1: Okay? Heyway, we'll see. So he was arrested and, as
5:26
Speaker 1: we said, banned for life from all the arenas. The
5:29
Speaker 1: second guy involved also received a lifetime ban. And this
5:34
Speaker 1: guy's facing criminal charges including courting to TMZ, criminal trespass,
5:39
Speaker 1: and disrupting a public event. Yeah, all right, so that
5:44
Speaker 1: is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question,
5:48
Speaker 1: will will this Adam Silver NBA punishment stop future idiots
5:56
Speaker 1: or inspire the next TikTok daredevil to run out to
6:01
Speaker 1: the middle of the court during an NBA Finals game.
6:04
Speaker 1: So my observations here, I've got fully immersed tsa agent
6:10
Speaker 1: and pumpkin pie, and we will combine all of these
6:15
Speaker 1: things together and we hope to hit a gold mine.
6:19
Speaker 1: We hope. So we know we're gonna move a mile
6:21
Speaker 1: a minute. We know that.
6:23
Speaker 2: So number one, number one, number one, number one. All right, enough,
6:32
Speaker 2: all right, So let's keep it real here, Okay, Adam Silver,
6:36
Speaker 2: Adam Silver did not deter if the goal was deterred.
6:41
Speaker 1: He did not deter these kids. He just gave them
6:45
Speaker 1: a new challenge, to get new higher level of challenge
6:48
Speaker 1: to reach right. These cats are fully immersed in the matrix,
6:53
Speaker 1: indoctrinated and brainwashed into the social media world, the brain
6:58
Speaker 1: rot of TikTok and all that. So they're in it.
7:00
Speaker 1: They're fully in it, and they have no idea what
7:03
Speaker 1: they're involved in and how it's all being manipulated and
7:07
Speaker 1: all that. And that's a different conversation, all right. Remember
7:09
Speaker 1: there wasn't there a guy that ran onto the field
7:12
Speaker 1: during the Super Bowl and then did it again a
7:14
Speaker 1: couple of years later. Remember that? Ye, Like, there's an
7:17
Speaker 1: adrenaline rush when you do that kind of thing. And
7:20
Speaker 1: if that's you, I guess your your jolly's off. You're
7:23
Speaker 1: gonna try to do it again. And these Mama Lukes
7:26
Speaker 1: the thing about the Lifetime band, which I just laugh at.
7:28
Speaker 1: It's obvious they're not NBA fans. We get that whole
7:32
Speaker 1: lecture from the broadcaster. They're leglar about, Oh yeah, these
7:36
Speaker 1: are this was terrible for basketball at all. They're not
7:39
Speaker 1: basketball fans. These dopes. Listen, they're you know what they are.
7:43
Speaker 1: We said this the other they're non playable characters, just
7:46
Speaker 1: waiting for their next side quest. And all that, and
7:49
Speaker 1: charging the guy that ran on the court with misdemeanor whatever.
7:55
Speaker 1: You know, these two misdemeanor charges, it's like giving a
7:58
Speaker 1: mosquito a parking te Well, the mosquito don't really care.
8:02
Speaker 1: You don't ban these guys. I'm gonna tell you exactly
8:05
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna help out Adam Silver and society
8:08
Speaker 1: in general from the bully pulpit. The powers invested to
8:11
Speaker 1: me here on the Ben Maler Show. If you want
8:14
Speaker 1: to stop these guys that are trying to get clout
8:17
Speaker 1: on TikTok, running out on the court, live stream and everything,
8:20
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what you do, okay, And you need
8:23
Speaker 1: society to be on board with this. Forget banning them
8:26
Speaker 1: from NBA game. I don't care about the NBA. You
8:29
Speaker 1: ban them from the internet, you ban them from social media.
8:33
Speaker 1: If you do that. If you say, if you run
8:35
Speaker 1: on and interrupt one of our beloved cultural events here,
8:38
Speaker 1: professional sports, overpaid athletes, if you interrupt that and rich
8:42
Speaker 1: people sitting in the front row, celebrity elites, the one
8:45
Speaker 1: percenters that watch these games. If you stop the one
8:48
Speaker 1: percenters and the professional athletes from enjoying their activity, you
8:52
Speaker 1: are banned from social media for life, you're banned from
8:55
Speaker 1: the Internet. That would put the kebash on this. It
9:00
Speaker 1: would never happen again because the only reason you do
9:03
Speaker 1: it is because you want to get clout online and
9:07
Speaker 1: you cannot scare a generation that thinks consequences are just
9:12
Speaker 1: like another filter on their phone. If they can't get
9:15
Speaker 1: on their phone because they don't have the Internet, then
9:17
Speaker 1: there you go. The goal, obviously was to go viral.
9:21
Speaker 1: He go was live streaming as he was running out
9:23
Speaker 1: on the court. He wanted to go viral, and that's
9:25
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. That's exactly what happened. And sure Victor
9:29
Speaker 1: went on Yama. You know, he didn't seem too upset
9:31
Speaker 1: by it. He seemed he was surprised. He smiled towards
9:34
Speaker 1: the phone, and he compared it to the bat flying
9:38
Speaker 1: around the arena across the court prior to the game.
9:43
Speaker 1: Why are there so many bats at that arena in
9:46
Speaker 1: San Antonio? Can anyone like I know there's bats everywhere?
9:48
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm not naive to that fact. It
9:50
Speaker 1: seems like of all the arenas in the NBA, there
9:54
Speaker 1: are more bats at that arena. Famously, Manu Genobili was
9:58
Speaker 1: bitten by a bat at a Spurs game years ago.
10:03
Speaker 1: It just seems like that's their thing. You know how
10:05
Speaker 1: in Cleveland they have the MiGs or whatever they're called,
10:09
Speaker 1: those little bugs. It's like out of the Bible there.
10:13
Speaker 1: They just come and they just attack everything, the little
10:16
Speaker 1: annoying bugs midges, I think they're called there in Cleveland
10:20
Speaker 1: in that area. But San Antonio they got bats And
10:23
Speaker 1: I never I watch a lot of Batman as a kid.
10:26
Speaker 1: I don't ever remember Batman being in San Antonio? Why not?
10:30
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Anyway, how it gets back to
10:32
Speaker 1: the point, so the only thing this kid actually assaulted
10:36
Speaker 1: was his own dignity. By the way, and if you're
10:38
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and get a lifetime ban, granted
10:41
Speaker 1: you don't really care about it. It's like like banning
10:44
Speaker 1: a fat guy from a salad bar, where they're not
10:46
Speaker 1: gonna care about it because they don't really eat salad,
10:48
Speaker 1: so who cares banning a guy doesn't like basketball from
10:51
Speaker 1: basketball next time? If you're gonna risk some kind of
10:55
Speaker 1: criminal charges and all this stuff, can you at least
10:59
Speaker 1: be cognizant enough to get the selfie to get when
11:04
Speaker 1: Banyama's head in the damn frame, your dummy, Like, what
11:08
Speaker 1: are you doing? Did you not think that? Wait a minute,
11:11
Speaker 1: this guy's seven ft four whatever, he is seven to
11:15
Speaker 1: five and this the guy that ran out in the
11:17
Speaker 1: court is probably like five nine or something like that. Like,
11:19
Speaker 1: what are you doing? All right now? Page two, Jalen Brunson,
11:24
Speaker 1: you know who that is? You do all right? Good
11:26
Speaker 1: for you? So Jalen Brunson is he's got a thing.
11:31
Speaker 1: He's got a thing that he it's it's a bit
11:34
Speaker 1: of a Michig gos. So Jalen Brunson were understand is
11:37
Speaker 1: staying away, far away from the Larry O'Brian trophy. Now
11:42
Speaker 1: that's the hunk of metal. The piece of metal is
11:44
Speaker 1: Rob Manfred would say, they give out to the top
11:46
Speaker 1: basketball team. It's just a piece of metal. It's a superstition.
11:51
Speaker 1: As the NBA Finals go on. Now, we heard that
11:54
Speaker 1: the people over at ABC and the NBA had a
11:57
Speaker 1: photo shoot and they were attempting to get all of
12:01
Speaker 1: the star players to take photos with the trophy. However,
12:06
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, the Knicks guard, said no. He refused to
12:10
Speaker 1: even enter the room or participate in the promotional shoot
12:15
Speaker 1: that featured the NBA's championship trophy, the Larry O'Brien Award.
12:20
Speaker 1: This was done at the media day prior to the
12:24
Speaker 1: NBA Finals. Now, when asked about it, bruntson what did
12:28
Speaker 1: he say? Did he say, A, I ain't touching that thing.
12:32
Speaker 1: I don't want to die, I'll kill me. B I
12:35
Speaker 1: just I felt sick or see no comment? Well, he
12:39
Speaker 1: did respond see no comment variations of no comment and
12:44
Speaker 1: asked how how do you hear about that? He essentially
12:47
Speaker 1: said he talked about it all once. The trophy is
12:50
Speaker 1: actually within reach, meaning the Knicks still have to win
12:53
Speaker 1: three more games. So the question for the esteem panel
12:58
Speaker 1: and you can answer this, I'll give out the number
13:00
Speaker 1: a minute. The question, how does Nicks start Jalen Brunson
13:04
Speaker 1: keeping away His activity of keeping away from the Larry
13:08
Speaker 1: O'Brien NBA championship trophies strike you. So this has happened
13:13
Speaker 1: from time to time. You know it's usually in football
13:16
Speaker 1: you don't touch the conference championship trophy like you're not
13:21
Speaker 1: supposed to do that. Jalen Brunson got a straight up.
13:25
Speaker 1: I guess he's got an allergy. He's allergically what are
13:28
Speaker 1: he gonna break out in hives? Jalen Brunson if he
13:30
Speaker 1: gets too close here, he's practicing championship celibacy. No touching,
13:36
Speaker 1: No touching until the vows are official. No, he's treating
13:41
Speaker 1: the Larry O'Brien trophy like it's patient zero. And there's
13:46
Speaker 1: another pandemic mask up, sanitize. Don't even breathe here it
13:50
Speaker 1: do not breathe. And I'm a man. I still God.
13:53
Speaker 1: I see people wear a mask. It blows me away,
13:55
Speaker 1: you know, six years later, chill out, man, I see
13:58
Speaker 1: it all the time. But he's giving that trophy six
14:00
Speaker 1: feet of social distancing space is what he's doing, Like
14:04
Speaker 1: it just coughed on the team bus and he's worried
14:07
Speaker 1: about it and all that. And I'm sure based on this,
14:09
Speaker 1: the Nick fans are probably already out there buying toilet
14:12
Speaker 1: paper and bottled water. Why not? And I get the mindset.
14:17
Speaker 1: Brunson is clearly a superstitious guy. He must be, and
14:22
Speaker 1: he's running the ultimate JINX prevention protocol. Think of it
14:27
Speaker 1: like Jalen Brunson is a TSA agent of premature celebration.
14:33
Speaker 1: And nothing probably nothing gets through without a full inspection
14:38
Speaker 1: you don't measure the saits in politics, you don't measure
14:41
Speaker 1: the drapes until you've won the election. I've heard that
14:43
Speaker 1: line over the years. And you keep the confetti cannons
14:47
Speaker 1: on standby because Jalen Brunson will not let a single
14:52
Speaker 1: single paper shred get optimistic. And somewhere there's already a
14:59
Speaker 1: fat lady who has not even warmed up yet, and
15:02
Speaker 1: he will not let her clear her throat or drink
15:05
Speaker 1: some water. That's how diabolical Jalen Brunson is. And it's
15:12
Speaker 1: completely on brand for the supposed mentality of the legend
15:16
Speaker 1: of Jalen Brunson. The job is not done. The knicks
15:19
Speaker 1: ultra focused, the legend building, the myth building, avoiding anything
15:24
Speaker 1: that feels like a premature party Kobe level insanity. Yeah,
15:28
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson acting like touching the trophy before the buzzer
15:32
Speaker 1: is a federal crime and you'd be eaten by a
15:35
Speaker 1: black mamba. So don't do it. And it is pretty common,
15:38
Speaker 1: it's not that rare. It's pretty common for athletes to
15:41
Speaker 1: have this superstition. I know, I will never touch a
15:44
Speaker 1: Marconi award until I win one. I will not touch
15:46
Speaker 1: the Marconi. That's my equivalent here in radio. When I
15:50
Speaker 1: get the Marconi, I'll hug it and i'll kiss it
15:52
Speaker 1: and i'll make out with it. Until then, though, I'm
15:54
Speaker 1: not touching the Marconi. Now. I have worked at a
15:56
Speaker 1: couple of stations that won the Marconi. That's a team
15:58
Speaker 1: award though, and I want the individual Marconi. And so
16:02
Speaker 1: until then, I'm not touching. I'm not gonna do it,
16:05
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So but avoiding the hardware until you've
16:10
Speaker 1: earned it and all that, and so this little extreme, extreme,
16:14
Speaker 1: little extreme. Now, speaking of extreme, we go to La
16:17
Speaker 1: La Land reports bouncing around the echo chamber that guard
16:21
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves, who is now an unrestricted free agent, well
16:26
Speaker 1: not officially because the new league year has to kick
16:28
Speaker 1: in after the finals and all that stuff, but he
16:29
Speaker 1: will be an unrestricted free agent. He declined the player option,
16:34
Speaker 1: and multiple reports telling us that Austin Reeves is demanding
16:40
Speaker 1: a max contract, and I hope he has better luck
16:43
Speaker 1: than I did when I asked for a max contract.
16:45
Speaker 1: That got laughed at and told to go wash the dishes.
16:49
Speaker 1: So Austin Reeves wants two hundred and forty one million dollars.
16:54
Speaker 1: I suppose he wants to stay with the Historians. He's
16:59
Speaker 1: played there his entire career. However, he's not willing to
17:03
Speaker 1: give a hometown discount. Oh boo hoo hoo. I've given
17:07
Speaker 1: so many hometown discounts. I'm a discount store at this point.
17:10
Speaker 1: So Lonzo Ball and others have argued that Austin Reeves
17:15
Speaker 1: is not a true alpha star worth that kind of money.
17:21
Speaker 1: So the question is Austin Reeves truly worth a max contract,
17:25
Speaker 1: which he is demanding with the Lakers. So there are
17:31
Speaker 1: a lot of players who have been given the max
17:35
Speaker 1: contract who I roll my eyes at and say, well,
17:38
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's what are you doing. That's not
17:40
Speaker 1: a max player. It's a whole different conversation. And look,
17:44
Speaker 1: you're worth what somebody is dumb enough to pay you.
17:47
Speaker 1: That's always been the case and doesn't mean we can't
17:50
Speaker 1: rip you for making the amount of money you're making. However,
17:54
Speaker 1: unless you put a knife to someone's throat or a
17:56
Speaker 1: gun to their head, it doesn't really it doesn't really matter.
18:00
Speaker 1: Javes turned down a smaller extension he bet on himself
18:04
Speaker 1: in free agency, and now the Lakers can offer him
18:08
Speaker 1: the full max, the famous bird rights. If you're a
18:12
Speaker 1: salary cap NERD, you know exactly what the bird rights are.
18:15
Speaker 1: Now that said, I certainly do not see this ballplayer
18:19
Speaker 1: as indispensable, and I would if I don't. Obviously, I
18:23
Speaker 1: don't like the Lakers. I hate the Lakers. I wouldn't
18:25
Speaker 1: really be upset if he left, if I cared about
18:28
Speaker 1: that team. Austin Reeves is what you call a nice player. However,
18:33
Speaker 1: MAX players are not supposed to be called nice players.
18:36
Speaker 1: There's something, there's a higher level. So when you say
18:39
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves is a nice player, I would agree he's
18:40
Speaker 1: a nice player. However, max players are something else. He
18:45
Speaker 1: is a complementary piece, not a center piece. That's what
18:48
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. And you can't be a max
18:50
Speaker 1: player if every postseason you turned into a piece of
18:55
Speaker 1: pumpkin pie at midnight. And Austin Reeves is a He's
18:59
Speaker 1: a esla in the regular season, and he's a used
19:04
Speaker 1: corolla in the playoffs playoffs, and everyone loves to bash
19:10
Speaker 1: playoff Harden. And I've spent a lot of my time
19:12
Speaker 1: here in very valuable real estate behind the microphones with
19:15
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio treating playoff Harden as a pinata, and
19:19
Speaker 1: he's earned it. You know who gets a pass? Playoff Austin,
19:24
Speaker 1: play Off Austin. It's a real thing, and it's a
19:27
Speaker 1: horror movie. In the postseason, he has been exposed like
19:31
Speaker 1: a vampire to garlic, as someone who does not possess
19:37
Speaker 1: postseason stardust. It's not my opinion, it's a fact. He
19:41
Speaker 1: is a liability last two years, liability against Minnesota a
19:46
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, liability this year against Oklahoma City,
19:50
Speaker 1: struggling to guard elite quicker players. That he's just not
19:54
Speaker 1: good enough on the perimeter. And the biggest problem is that, well,
19:58
Speaker 1: he's bad defensively. Okay, he makes up for it offensively, No,
20:01
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's been a bad three point shooter in
20:04
Speaker 1: the playoffs. He's got a lot of turnovers under pressure.
20:09
Speaker 1: He he's got this thing that goes sideways, the what
20:12
Speaker 1: you would call it doesn't quite work. There's also some
20:15
Speaker 1: durability concerns about Austin Reeves and am I saying that
20:19
Speaker 1: no one's gonna pay him. No, of course he'll get paid.
20:22
Speaker 1: The Lakers will likely pay him, despite my tongue lashing,
20:25
Speaker 1: they'll pay him and then I'll enjoy every bad playoff
20:27
Speaker 1: game he has and I'll be very happy and I'll
20:30
Speaker 1: say I told you so no no, no, no, no no,
20:32
Speaker 1: I told you, And that's how I'm gonna celebrate. So
20:37
Speaker 1: doesn't magn give a sermon every day about Austin Reeves

Speaker 1: this hour ranting and raving. Will pro bouncy ball A
23:14
Speaker 1: fan that I say, a fan, A guy that bought
23:17
Speaker 1: a ticket. The other part about that? Sorry, the kid
23:19
Speaker 1: that bought the ticket, he's underage, So how does he
23:25
Speaker 1: have enough that's expensive ticket? Like, how does he have
23:28
Speaker 1: enough money to buy an NBA Finals ticket? Is he
23:31
Speaker 1: like a big social media influence? I haven't heard who
23:33
Speaker 1: the guy is. I don't know who he is. He's
23:36
Speaker 1: a nobody. He was able to come up with enough
23:39
Speaker 1: money to get into the arena somehow and run out
23:43
Speaker 1: on the court. So it's obviously got some access to
23:47
Speaker 1: some cash. So there is that. And let's see what
23:52
Speaker 1: do we have on the X machine and we'll go
23:55
Speaker 1: page down here. I can't read that. Late Night Directors,
24:01
Speaker 1: says Madden. Added either Canadian or Arena football teams alf
24:08
Speaker 1: the Alien opiner says, EA Sports added a promo code
24:12
Speaker 1: for the Sedona hotel where Mike Vrabel likes to go
24:15
Speaker 1: with his NFL insider friends. Do you think Vrabel ever
24:19
Speaker 1: asked other insiders like Schefter those guys to go hang
24:22
Speaker 1: out or Glazier to go hang out with him at
24:24
Speaker 1: the hotel in Sedona. No, no Stradinis, He's right there.
24:29
Speaker 1: No straudenas says Madden. Twenty seven added the biggest and
24:34
Speaker 1: most appropriate feature in years, a perfectly executed two point
24:39
Speaker 1: conversion off a backward pass, which alting in a touchdown
24:44
Speaker 1: and confirmation by the crooked referees. Good job by Madden,
24:48
Speaker 1: Yeah there is. It's probably enough. No studios, I looked
24:51
Speaker 1: at this. I don't know if this has gone viral
24:52
Speaker 1: or not. There's a cheat code where if you play
24:55
Speaker 1: with Seattle and you're losing, and you're about to lose
24:59
Speaker 1: to the better the Rams, then the NFL if you
25:02
Speaker 1: type the right code in, what they'll do for you
25:06
Speaker 1: is they'll give you some free points. Now this year,
25:08
Speaker 1: I saw the script for the upcoming season. Now they're
25:11
Speaker 1: not done with it. They're still they're still working on
25:14
Speaker 1: I just saw the first draft and they're saying the
25:16
Speaker 1: Seahawks need an extras they need a touchdown, not just
25:18
Speaker 1: a two point conversion. That the Rams are that much better,
25:21
Speaker 1: that much better than Seattle. It's what a shame the
25:24
Speaker 1: dynasty had to end by the Rams making a trade
25:27
Speaker 1: for for Miles Garrett. It's a shame, it really is.
25:33
Speaker 1: Daniel says, bad take. You've insulted the used Toyota Corolla market.
25:39
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll be devastated and we're gonna lose a
25:42
Speaker 1: lot of market share because of that, a lot of
25:45
Speaker 1: market share. Yeah, Malaprop guy says it's too bad that
25:49
Speaker 1: this national nightmare did not happen on a morning. When
25:53
Speaker 1: you accept unsolicited advice, fer Dog may find solace in
25:59
Speaker 1: the thoughts and prayers of your listeners. Well, I promise,
26:04
Speaker 1: if Ferg Dog is still in ex jail when we
26:08
Speaker 1: get past the weekend, I will provide advice. We will
26:13
Speaker 1: make sure no matter what happens. I mean a lot
26:16
Speaker 1: of things that happened between now and when we come
26:18
Speaker 1: back over the weekend, I know how to do the
26:20
Speaker 1: podcast every day, and we don't really talk much sports
26:23
Speaker 1: on there, so a lot of things will take place,
26:26
Speaker 1: and so so we'll see Larry D writes it. He says,
26:29
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson gets near the trophy, he starts saying, I'm
26:34
Speaker 1: I'm coming, Elizabeth, I'm coming, uh super market Steve says,
26:42
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the Manu. I like how he spelled
26:45
Speaker 1: Jenobili j A n O b l i e s
26:51
Speaker 1: the guy that corrects everything, the guy that is the
26:55
Speaker 1: he's got the stick up his took his super market Steve,
26:58
Speaker 1: he spelled Manu Genobili's name j A n O b
27:02
Speaker 1: l i e s. He says, I'm pretty sure that
27:06
Speaker 1: Manu Genobi smacked the bat out of the air. The
27:09
Speaker 1: bat never bid him, Nobody bites Manu and gets away
27:13
Speaker 1: with it. Well, I remember him having to go to
27:15
Speaker 1: the hospital and get a bunch of shots because of
27:18
Speaker 1: rabies and things like that. I just there must be
27:21
Speaker 1: some kind of big bat cave situation right around the
27:25
Speaker 1: arena in San Antonio. It's gotta be. Shane in des
27:30
Speaker 1: Moines says, blowing a fourteen point lead seems like something
27:34
Speaker 1: that happens a lot in the NBA, as Lee cliche goes,
27:38
Speaker 1: no lead is safe. Well, Shane and the moyin, that's
27:40
Speaker 1: actually what broadcasters say, and I learned this years ago.
27:45
Speaker 1: It'll change if you pay attention what I'm about to say.
27:47
Speaker 1: It'll change your experience watching sports on TV because it's
27:52
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a hustle. So the announcers at
27:55
Speaker 1: the beginning of the game, they'll try to hype up
27:58
Speaker 1: both teams and they'll celebrate both teams. And then normally,
28:02
Speaker 1: if it's a basketball game, right around the middle of
28:05
Speaker 1: the second quarter, whoever is losing the game they start
28:11
Speaker 1: cheering for They start trying to pump the tires on
28:13
Speaker 1: and say, oh, no, oh, this team's gonna play better,
28:15
Speaker 1: they're gonna bounce back and all this stuff. And that'll
28:18
Speaker 1: be the same thing in football. Whoever's losing, they try
28:21
Speaker 1: to sell that they're gonna come back and win the game.
28:24
Speaker 1: And they do that because they're all neurotic about losing
28:27
Speaker 1: market share, losing audience, and it's ridiculous and oftentimes teams
28:33
Speaker 1: don't blow big leagues like the If you look at
28:36
Speaker 1: the odds when you go up like twenty points, if
28:39
Speaker 1: you're up by twenty points in the second Obviously this
28:41
Speaker 1: was fourteen, so it wasn't twenty. You're gonna win most
28:45
Speaker 1: of the time, like most of the time, and San
28:48
Speaker 1: Antonio got outscored by twenty four points. They went up
28:50
Speaker 1: by fourteen, got outscored by twenty four points, obviously eleven
28:53
Speaker 1: to nothing at the end of the game. It's crazy now,
28:56
Speaker 1: Rebecca the long suffering Ram fan rights, and she says,
29:00
Speaker 1: it's not just players that are superstitious. I've done things
29:03
Speaker 1: that were silly in regards to the Rams. During game,
29:07
Speaker 1: if they're falling behind, I'll get up out of my
29:11
Speaker 1: seat and go to the merchandise store or get something
29:16
Speaker 1: to eat and swear. Rebecca the Ram fan says, swear
29:21
Speaker 1: they often pull ahead, and she says, I know, well, okay,
29:26
Speaker 1: so I get that, and I'm not saying that that's bad.
29:31
Speaker 1: I'm just like Jalen Brunson, the thing about like don't
29:33
Speaker 1: touch the trophy and all they don't tell you. God forbid.
29:36
Speaker 1: If both teams touch the trophy, then doesn't that get
29:39
Speaker 1: rid of the bad mojo? Because both teams are touching that.
29:42
Speaker 1: Michael and Tulsa writes in he says a plus on
29:45
Speaker 1: the opening mallet monologue this hour regarding schmucks running onto
29:48
Speaker 1: the court or the field, they should not be thrown
29:52
Speaker 1: in jail security and or the players should just beat
29:57
Speaker 1: the you know what out of him, or at least
29:59
Speaker 1: break their fingers or wrists for a social media te o. Ye,
30:07
Speaker 1: so you want old school mob Vegas justice. Right, You
30:11
Speaker 1: try to cheat the casino and they take you underneath
30:15
Speaker 1: the casino and there's a there's a guy with the
30:18
Speaker 1: Louisville Slugger and he's bat in the thousand. He's bat
30:22
Speaker 1: in the thousand, and you are the person that he
30:25
Speaker 1: is working on. Uh yeah, why not. Let's go to
30:29
Speaker 1: the phones. Let's say hello eeni meeni miney made. Let's
30:33

30:51
Speaker 3: they blind. Maybe I'll tell you aboutself about that, like
30:54
Speaker 3: so like I said, you so much? Oh yeah, remember
30:56
Speaker 3: when I started once solover when I was walking Yeah,
30:59
Speaker 3: it so it looks and you walk when you're blind
31:01
Speaker 3: because you have to wiggle yourself around and fidget all
31:05
Speaker 3: your joints and your arms to stay standing up straight
31:07
Speaker 3: because you're off center of gravity because you can't see.
31:10
Speaker 3: So like, I've worn out all older.
31:12
Speaker 1: Scott A timehouse, Scott. We were doing that. You were

31:18
Speaker 1: Willie Wonka. You were doing the Willie Walker walk.
31:21
Speaker 3: No, I know there's a speed bump then that. When
31:23
Speaker 3: I was headed towards you, there was a scaffolding block
31:25
Speaker 3: and where you were sitting in a speed bump. I
31:27
Speaker 3: had to get around. But what were they gonna I
31:31
Speaker 3: was gonna tell you something. God, God, damn it that
31:35
Speaker 3: guy that ran out on the cour Oh yeah, so dude,
31:37
Speaker 3: here's what I'm tell you. The Massachusetts Massachusetts Media Broadcasting
31:41
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame Inductee dinner was last night. They had
31:45
Speaker 3: a ceremony to induct media members into the Massachusetts Hall
31:49
Speaker 3: of Fame. Now get ready, I'm gonna now now, guess
31:52
Speaker 3: where they had this event. Don't just play a game,
31:54
Speaker 3: it's an exercise. Yeah, guess where they had this lovely event.
31:57
Speaker 3: You know, it's called the Massachusetts Media Hall of Fame.
32:00
Speaker 1: Sam, Yeah, that's very exciting.
32:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Where do you think they would have this the.
32:04
Speaker 1: Writ like, uh, I think they had it at a Chili's.
32:11
Speaker 1: They found a Chili's and they handed at a chili
32:14
Speaker 1: They ended.
32:14
Speaker 3: At the Renaissance Hotel and framing him, and then you
32:18
Speaker 3: can go to like Ken Steak, how it's after you know,
32:21
Speaker 3: it just shows it. It's not like a real thing. Dude,
32:23
Speaker 3: when you won the Marconi's for those companies. I mean,
32:26
Speaker 3: I don't think I sorts to say what was going
32:28
Speaker 3: on when you won those Marconi's, but I just can't
32:31
Speaker 3: say it on the radio. But it is three point
32:33
Speaker 3: thirty in the morning, dude, I'm real popular right now. Then,
32:35
Speaker 3: by the way I play the guitar, I participate in
32:38
Speaker 3: multiple rates.
32:39
Speaker 1: I have a question. There's some people making accusations about you,
32:42
Speaker 1: and I wanted to address these. Are you willing to
32:43
Speaker 1: address these accusations?
32:45
Speaker 3: Why do you ask the guy himself like, what doesn't
32:48
Speaker 3: he called? I don't want to be at what your
32:50
Speaker 3: audience sucks?
32:51
Speaker 1: You have the why are you getting himself? Why are
32:58
Speaker 1: you calm down? Okay, to make a breath. Let me
33:01
Speaker 1: give you the accusation all right, so is it true?
33:06
Speaker 1: It may or may not be Shane in des Moine,
33:08
Speaker 1: who says he's betting ten thousand dollars of radio funny
33:12
Speaker 1: money that the person who reported Fergdog and got Ferg
33:16
Speaker 1: Dog in jail is a caller from Boston. So, Scott,
33:20
Speaker 1: how do you answer. I'm not saying it's you, Scott.
33:23
Speaker 1: He just said a caller from Boston, So it could
33:24
Speaker 1: have been somebody else. Maybe it's Danny DeVito, the dick.
33:27
Speaker 3: Oh, your weaponizing your audience against me. You're a pizza
33:30
Speaker 3: crap and shut the help.
33:32
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Scott. That sounds like something you
33:36
Speaker 1: would say if you had something to hide. I'm just saying,
33:38
Speaker 1: doesn't that sound like something you would say if you
33:40
Speaker 1: didn't want to address the Komodo dragon in the room.
33:44
Speaker 1: That seems like that that'd be something you might bring up.
33:47
Speaker 1: All right, that one pretty well well? Ea Sports, it's
33:52
Speaker 1: in the game. Madden twenty seven has added tushy. Yeah,
33:59
Speaker 1: they've added the tush push, the infamous tush push. I
34:02
Speaker 1: didn't know it was. I haven't played Madden. Like the
34:04
Speaker 1: latest versions of Madden. Madden twenty seven is adding the
34:08
Speaker 1: Eagles tush Push as its newest add on item, and
34:14
Speaker 1: they let the people see the tush push. Now every
34:19
Speaker 1: team can run it, I would imagine, right, So why
34:22
Speaker 1: would you just run anytime you get down a one
34:26
Speaker 1: yard fourth down and one third down and run, you
34:28
Speaker 1: just run the toush Push. In fact, I'm thinking about
34:31
Speaker 1: buying the Madden game and just running the tush push
34:33
Speaker 1: every other plays. It's unstoppable, it is. But it'll be
34:39
Speaker 1: the thirty ninth installment of the Madden franchise and they're
34:44
Speaker 1: adding the tush push, which was almost banned a couple boats,
34:50
Speaker 1: just a couple boats away from being banned. Time now
34:53
Speaker 1: for the instock trivia. Then we'll get to Mallard of
34:55
Speaker 1: the Third Degree. Here's the Insta Trivia show. Hey, oh
34:59
Speaker 1: Ton has the third lowest ERA by a big league
35:04
Speaker 1: starting pitcher after ten starts in a season. Now, this
35:09
Speaker 1: is since they started tracking ERA in nineteen thirteen, trailing
35:12
Speaker 1: only Jacob Degram and Blank. Again, Otani third lowest ERA
35:18
Speaker 1: starting pitcher after ten starts in a season since they
35:21

Speaker 1: he's already done everything.
39:43
