- 2:07Speaker 2: spoiled at a bougie dinner in Vancouver, the New York
- 2:13Speaker 2: Knickerbockers went cup put see you later, That's it, and
- 2:18Speaker 2: I was being impolite. I was allowed though our friend
- 2:22Speaker 2: Nico allowed me to check my phone. I was keeping
- 2:24Speaker 2: updated on the score. And then I went back and
- 2:27Speaker 2: I had some free time and I watched on the
- 2:30Speaker 2: NBA's website. They actually let you watch most of these
- 2:34Speaker 2: games on their website. So I went back on and
- 2:36Speaker 2: watched it, and the Pacers decommissioned Jalen Brunson and the Knicks,
- 2:41Speaker 2: sending them to can Kuhn vacation mode. There as Tyrese
- 2:46Speaker 2: Halliburton did not win the Most Valuable Player, much to
- 2:51Speaker 2: his surprise. Our friend and the greatest drop in the
- 2:55Speaker 2: history of the show, as provided by marcel In Brooklyn
- 2:58Speaker 2: Pascal Siakam the Eastern Conference Finals MVP. As Indiana advances
- 3:04Speaker 2: and they will take on OKC in the NBA Finals,
- 3:07Speaker 2: we have plenty of time to give them their flowers,
- 3:11Speaker 2: and we'll do some of that. We'll take our first
- 3:13Speaker 2: peak little peek a boo at the NBA Finals in
- 3:16Speaker 2: a minute. But you know the story here, the better story,
- 3:19Speaker 2: that's right, the better story in the losing locker room.
- 3:23Speaker 2: As our friends from the Big Apple have gone into
- 3:26Speaker 2: full meltdown mode.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Alarm bells are being sounded.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Say it ain't so all of that because of the
- 3:37Speaker 2: way the Knicks lost.
- 3:39Speaker 1: They lost the first.
- 3:40Speaker 2: Two games at home and they end up losing the
- 3:41Speaker 2: series in six games to Indiana, a series they were
- 3:45Speaker 2: heavily favored to win. Now, Tom Thibodeau is the one
- 3:51Speaker 2: getting the brunt of the anger the range, as a
- 3:55Speaker 2: number of fans calling for his head on a platter.
- 3:58Speaker 2: They would like him to lose his ob despite being
- 4:01Speaker 2: a couple of wins away from the NBA Finals. The
- 4:05Speaker 2: Natives are restless in Gotham. So let us discuss the
- 4:09Speaker 2: question yay or nay, yay ornay on coach Tom Thibodeau
- 4:16Speaker 2: being on the hot seat as the Knicks are exterminated
- 4:20Speaker 2: from the postseason. So I've got McDonald's allergic reaction and soybeans,
- 4:27Speaker 2: and we will combine all of these things together, and
- 4:31Speaker 2: we are gonna make the gobbagool.
- 4:33Speaker 1: We're gonna make the gobbagool is.
- 4:35Speaker 2: What we're gonna do, all right, So number why, I
- 4:39Speaker 2: said number why, So I am in the nay category.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Now I do realize that coaches are expendable. They are
- 4:48Speaker 2: like plastic forks. You use them and then throw them away.
- 4:53Speaker 2: They're not meant to be used more than one time.
- 4:55Speaker 1: I got that. However, I like the way that Tom.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Thibodeaux teams play guilty as charged your honor, I do.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I like the way his teams play.
- 5:06Speaker 2: And you can fire Tom Thibodeau and bring in some
- 5:10Speaker 2: other jibbroni and all that, But I don't know how
- 5:13Speaker 2: you do that when you've already celebrated your championship. Remember
- 5:17Speaker 2: the New York Nick fan base had their championship. They
- 5:21Speaker 2: beat the Boston Celtics in the second round and tada, champions.
- 5:26Speaker 1: We are the.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Champions of the world. They had to celebrated. I think
- 5:31Speaker 2: they had the parade through the Canyon of Heroes. I
- 5:34Speaker 2: can't confirm that or not. I wasn't there. There were
- 5:36Speaker 2: rumors that were going to do that. They were throwing
- 5:38Speaker 2: trash at Pacer fans, the vermin in Manhattan so and
- 5:43Speaker 2: also Brian Winhorse got attacked by some of these geniuses there.
- 5:48Speaker 2: So you celebrate your championship. You're not supposed to play
- 5:50Speaker 2: another game after you win your championship. When you win
- 5:53Speaker 2: the Super Bowl, you don't have to play again. When
- 5:54Speaker 2: you win the NBA Championship and beat the Celtics like
- 5:57Speaker 2: the Knicks did, you're not supposed.
- 5:58Speaker 1: To have to play again. So that's the problem here.
- 6:01Speaker 2: And so the little celebration in the Canyon of Heroes
- 6:05Speaker 2: and congratulations on these are the same fans. Though after
- 6:08Speaker 2: that moment where they beat the Celtics, they were ready
- 6:11Speaker 2: to rip apart some subway car, some MTA subway medal
- 6:17Speaker 2: off the cars there, and they were going to rip
- 6:19Speaker 2: those off and build a statue out of that medal
- 6:24Speaker 2: from some disowned subway car for Thibodeau. And since they
- 6:29Speaker 2: lost to the Pacers, now it's like you got to
- 6:31Speaker 2: get out of here, you know. Since the Pacers zoom
- 6:33Speaker 2: past them, that's it. It's over. And when you break
- 6:37Speaker 2: it down, the Knicks actually overachieved.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Who are you talking about me? Over? Okay they did.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Now they beat this out.
- 6:45Speaker 2: And now I'm not gonna say they beat the Cellies
- 6:47Speaker 2: because of Jason Tatum getting hurt, because they were ahead
- 6:50Speaker 2: in that series even when Tatum got hurt.
- 6:52Speaker 1: They had a choke hold on that series. So that's
- 6:56Speaker 1: not it. But if you look at Nick Ross, you've got.
- 6:58Speaker 2: Jalen Brunson, who's verified good, Karl Anthony Towns who spotty
- 7:06Speaker 2: but talented, and aside from that Tom Thibodeau. You look
- 7:09Speaker 2: at the rest of the Knicks roster there and it's.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Not totally patchwork.
- 7:16Speaker 2: There's some gritty, blue collar players and all that, which
- 7:19Speaker 2: is what Tom Thibodeau generally likes to put.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Out in the court.
- 7:22Speaker 2: They got about where they should have gone Eastern Conference Finals,
- 7:27Speaker 2: that's about where the talent.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Would lead them to beas well.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Indiana, it wasn't their time, Well, it was their time
- 7:33Speaker 2: because they played better than expected, so it was the time.
- 7:37Speaker 2: But to think this franchise, it's wild to me that
- 7:41Speaker 2: that franchise in the biggest media market in America has
- 7:45Speaker 2: not won a title since Richard Nixon was in office
- 7:50Speaker 2: before the Watergate scandal.
- 7:52Speaker 1: It's crazy to me.
- 7:53Speaker 2: And they get close, they have a little taste, just
- 7:57Speaker 2: a little nibble, say, going to Costco, getting a sample,
- 8:00Speaker 2: little nibble there, and then poof, they don't win the
- 8:03Speaker 2: whole thing.
- 8:04Speaker 1: They thought they won. They didn't win. The Nick fan.
- 8:07Speaker 2: Said, we beat the Celtics, that's our championship. They didn't
- 8:10Speaker 2: get the championship trophy. They're all upset. They have a
- 8:14Speaker 2: temper tantum like a toddler that went to McDonald's and
- 8:18Speaker 2: had a conniption fit because they didn't get their little championship, ringing.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Their happy meal. That's the Nick fan right there. That's it.
- 8:26Speaker 1: That's the Nick fan.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Go throw some trash on somebody else, you classy Nick fans,
- 8:30Speaker 2: all right now, patre So, it's not just the coaching shrapnel,
- 8:34Speaker 2: as Tom Thibodeau feeling the heat there, the Nick players
- 8:38Speaker 2: and coaches collectively putting their venom towards one person in particular,
- 8:45Speaker 2: who would that person be.
- 8:48Speaker 1: I'll give you a clue.
- 8:49Speaker 2: Kitty, Kitty Kitty, that's right, Karl Anthony Towns. Karl Anthony Towns,
- 8:54Speaker 2: and several several detailed accounts documenting the defensive issues of
- 9:01Speaker 2: Carl Anthony Towns, longtime Minnesota timber wolf who came to
- 9:06Speaker 2: the Knicks in the off season. So give me your
- 9:09Speaker 2: reaction to multiple reports pointing the finger of.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Shame and blame at Karl Anthony Town's.
- 9:17Speaker 2: So my reaction is stutterer with a capital S.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Stutterer right, Who could not have seen that one coming?
- 9:25Speaker 3: Right? Oh?
- 9:26Speaker 1: Wait, anyone that's been paying attention.
- 9:28Speaker 2: To Karl Anthony Towns during his NBA career nicknamed Kitty
- 9:32Speaker 2: Kat the feline of fun, Karl Anthony Towns.
- 9:36Speaker 1: And so I think I'm correct in saying, what do
- 9:40Speaker 1: I know? I just do the Opennight show.
- 9:41Speaker 2: I think that is how Carl Anthony Towns has played
- 9:46Speaker 2: his entire career and finally the Minnesota and that there
- 9:49Speaker 2: were some financial reasons Minnesota got rid of him. However,
- 9:53Speaker 2: part of it also was the maddening way that he plays,
- 9:58Speaker 2: and if you look at his.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Body of work, he was the number one overall pick.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Because of his offensive ability, and he's a big guy,
- 10:08Speaker 2: can shoot from the outside and make a lot of
- 10:12Speaker 2: big baskets for you and all that stuff. He's got
- 10:14Speaker 2: a nice touch around the rim and so those are
- 10:17Speaker 2: all really cool things and people love that stuff. And
- 10:19Speaker 2: he does vanish at times in big games. However, on
- 10:22Speaker 2: the other end of the court. Now, by no means
- 10:25Speaker 2: are we defensive savants, but we do know just from
- 10:28Speaker 2: paying attention having to watch these games on a daily basis,
- 10:31Speaker 2: you might as well with Karl Anthony Towns for about
- 10:35Speaker 2: thirty to forty percent of the game, you might as
- 10:38Speaker 2: well go out there and put in Instead of putting
- 10:41Speaker 2: a nick jersey, you just put an orange traffic cone
- 10:44Speaker 2: out there and that's it. And you can put a
- 10:47Speaker 2: jersey on it if you want, But you just put
- 10:49Speaker 2: an orange traffic cone out there, and at least the
- 10:52Speaker 2: cone will stay in its position. You put it there,
- 10:55Speaker 2: you put the cone down, The cone's not going to
- 10:57Speaker 2: move unless someone kicks the cone. The cone, the orange
- 11:00Speaker 2: traffic cone's going to stay there. And so Carl any Towns,
- 11:04Speaker 2: he has a allergic reaction to defense and being in
- 11:10Speaker 2: the right place is supposed to be and there's a
- 11:13Speaker 2: bit of poetry in motion. When you play defense in basketball,
- 11:18Speaker 2: you're counting on your teammates being where they're supposed to
- 11:20Speaker 2: be and then it all works together and all that stuff.
- 11:22Speaker 2: And it is ironic that the coach had him.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Tibbs had him in Minnesota, knew what he was getting.
- 11:31Speaker 2: They pick up Carl Anthony Towns, and a coach that
- 11:35Speaker 2: is all about defense, keep hearing, a defensive guy and
- 11:38Speaker 2: all that stuff. He wants gritty players. And they went
- 11:41Speaker 2: out and traded to get Karl Anthony Towns, and so
- 11:44Speaker 2: he doesn't play any defense for thirty or forty percent
- 11:47Speaker 2: of the game and all of a sudden, it's like.
- 11:48Speaker 1: What are we doing here? And so the next dude,
- 11:52Speaker 1: you think they're gonna get rid of Carl Anthony.
- 11:54Speaker 2: No, they're not going to trade him, not this year,
- 11:56Speaker 2: not this offseason. That would be a stunner. They got
- 12:00Speaker 2: to figure out a way to cover up that blind spot.
- 12:03Speaker 2: And if they can't figure it out, then eventually they
- 12:06Speaker 2: will get rid of him after this upcoming season. But
- 12:08Speaker 2: they know going in that Carl Anthony Towns is a
- 12:11Speaker 2: defensive liability. And if you're the other team and you're
- 12:15Speaker 2: going against the Knicks, you can take advantage of Carl
- 12:18Speaker 2: Anthony Towns as a soft spot. You can attack all
- 12:22Speaker 2: right now, final point, turning the page. It's NBA Finals time.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Now We've got copy later in the hour for pick
- 12:32Speaker 2: six from draftings. This was a matchup designed for that. Okay,
- 12:38Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm like, oh,
- 12:40Speaker 2: you should.
- 12:41Speaker 1: I don't work for the NBA. You should be a cheerleader, don't.
- 12:43Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 12:45Speaker 2: I mean, I got a show to do, so I'm
- 12:47Speaker 2: gonna watch and that's fine. And there's a couple of
- 12:49Speaker 2: things I'm into, but other than that, not so much.
- 12:53Speaker 2: So First Peak, Little Peak Aboo, First peak NBA Finals matchup,
- 12:58Speaker 2: which starts later this week. What is your level of excitement?
- 13:02Speaker 2: Level of excitement for the Pacers and the Thunder Small
- 13:07Speaker 2: Market USA in the NBA Finals on the showcase showdown,
- 13:13Speaker 2: So what is your level of excitement for the Pacers
- 13:16Speaker 2: versus the Thunder. So after a minutes long Malard deliberation,
- 13:21Speaker 2: taking in all factors, all the details, all of it,
- 13:26Speaker 2: we determined on a scale of one to ten, with
- 13:28Speaker 2: ten being must see TV, Must see TV. That's like,
- 13:34Speaker 2: you know, Kobe back in the day, Michael Jordan back
- 13:37Speaker 2: in the must see TV, not even Lebron is man person.
- 13:41Speaker 2: I'm going wait before that, So this matchup gets a toe.
- 13:47Speaker 1: I am at a two for.
- 13:49Speaker 2: The NBA Finals matchup, and the only reason I'm giving
- 13:51Speaker 2: it to two is because we have a member of
- 13:54Speaker 2: the Clippers Alumni Association SGA who won the MVP this
- 13:59Speaker 2: year now can cap it all off by winning a championship.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Other than that, Other.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Than that, looking around here, this is a matchup that
- 14:10Speaker 2: should be on NBA TV.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Am I wrong on that?
- 14:14Speaker 2: You know how they put like the worst games on
- 14:16Speaker 2: NBA TV during the opening round of the playoffs, they
- 14:20Speaker 2: put the top games on Network TV, and then they
- 14:22Speaker 2: put the crap on NBA TV.
- 14:24Speaker 1: This should be on NBA TV.
- 14:25Speaker 2: In fact, this could even be like on a podcast
- 14:27Speaker 2: that no one listens to, which is most podcasts that
- 14:29Speaker 2: no one listens to, so they can put it on
- 14:31Speaker 2: a podcast. Unless you're in I don't know, Carmel, Indiana,
- 14:36Speaker 2: or Tulsa, Oklahoma, or somewhere.
- 14:38Speaker 1: In that radius right around there.
- 14:41Speaker 2: This is the Finals equivalent to sitting outside your home
- 14:47Speaker 2: and you're looking around and your neighbors decided to paint
- 14:52Speaker 2: their home, and not even their home, just a fence
- 14:56Speaker 2: near your home. So it's a defence that divides your
- 14:59Speaker 2: home in their own. So they've said, okay, I'm gonna
- 15:00Speaker 2: I'm gonna paint defence. And you're sitting there watching this
- 15:03Speaker 2: and they've decided to paint it a nice shade of beige.
- 15:06Speaker 1: And you sit there and watch it because you.
- 15:09Speaker 2: Have nothing else to do, and so you watch it. Whoobie,
- 15:13Speaker 2: that's what you do. And I get that for some people,
- 15:16Speaker 2: it's unique. And this is by far the worst matchup
- 15:19Speaker 2: in NBA Finals history in terms of juice. There is
- 15:23Speaker 2: no juice. It's adorable for some people, and they love it, and.
- 15:30Speaker 1: They're the people that will say it's great. People are
- 15:32Speaker 1: gonna watch.
- 15:33Speaker 2: These are the same people during the NCAA basketball tournament
- 15:36Speaker 2: get excited when nowhere you wins on the opening a
- 15:40Speaker 2: couple of days of the tournament. So you get a
- 15:42Speaker 2: bunch of crap teams that win and then it turns out, well,
- 15:45Speaker 2: people don't like to watch those teams and it's it's
- 15:48Speaker 2: a problem. But the small markets, this is their moment, right,
- 15:51Speaker 2: this is your big moment in the sun.
- 15:53Speaker 1: The NBA changed all the rules to.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Accommodate the mid size to small markets, and so you
- 15:59Speaker 2: got teams. These are good basketball towns. Indianapolis I was
- 16:02Speaker 2: the last time the Pacers were in the finals. I
- 16:04Speaker 2: was there and it was wonderful. It was a great
- 16:06Speaker 2: The town was buzzing. It was a lot of fun.
- 16:08Speaker 2: The Pacers played the Lakers, the Shaq Kobe Lakers, and
- 16:12Speaker 2: I got to go to those games in Indianapolis. I
- 16:14Speaker 2: have great memories of that. And so Oklahoma City. I've
- 16:18Speaker 2: been to Oklahoma City. Not a lot going on, but
- 16:21Speaker 2: you got your basketball team.
- 16:22Speaker 1: You look around.
- 16:22Speaker 2: So it's like apple beans versus Golden Corral. It's porking
- 16:28Speaker 2: eggs from Oklahoma versus what cornfields and soybeans in Indianapolis,
- 16:34Speaker 2: in Indiana in that area there, And where's the sizzle?
- 16:40Speaker 2: Is there any sizzle? Probably not like the star Power.
- 16:45Speaker 2: What about Halliburton, Well you got the Envybesch say, jogis Alexander,
- 16:52Speaker 2: that's your meal ticket. That's the sizzle. Really, that's like
- 16:57Speaker 2: cooking in an air fryer. You know what I'm saying.
- 17:00Speaker 2: I mean, airfriar's good. Supposely he's healthier for you. I
- 17:04Speaker 2: use the air frar. It tastes better when you put
- 17:06Speaker 2: in a deep frier. There's no deep fryer. It's an
- 17:09Speaker 2: air fryer. That's what this is. I mean, these guys
- 17:12Speaker 2: are nice players and for some it's a good story.
- 17:14Speaker 2: And I however, does not move the needle naturally. And
- 17:18Speaker 2: then again, this is not my problem. This is an
- 17:21Speaker 2: NBA problem. And if you love shot in Freuda, if
- 17:24Speaker 2: you want to get back at the NBA and ESPN ABC,
- 17:28Speaker 2: then this is wonderful. This is the ultimate fu to
- 17:31Speaker 2: ESPN ABC to put these teams in the NBA Finals
- 17:35Speaker 2: because they're going to have to make so many make goods.
- 17:38Speaker 2: Is there any man, woman or child who's a casual
- 17:41Speaker 2: observer of a sport in places like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles,
- 17:45Speaker 2: the major metropolis is of America, Dallas that is going
- 17:48Speaker 2: to watch this matchup.
- 17:51Speaker 1: If you're a gambler, I get it.
- 17:54Speaker 2: If you're you got know somebody on the team, okay,
- 17:58Speaker 2: fair enough. If you're from those areas, that's fine. But
- 18:02Speaker 2: outside of that, what is the reason to watch? What
- 18:06Speaker 2: is the reason to watch? And yeah, you got your
- 18:10Speaker 2: heart old people that will tune in no matter what,
- 18:13Speaker 2: And that's fine and again not our issue. This is
- 18:16Speaker 2: an Adam Silver problem. We'll watch because we have a
- 18:20Speaker 2: nightly show show to do. But my goodness, holy crap,
- 18:27Speaker 2: like what is going on here? Well, we'll see, we'll
- 18:30Speaker 2: see what watches and all that. It's and we do broadcasting,
- 18:34Speaker 2: not narrow casting. That would appear to be a narrow
- 18:37Speaker 2: audience for the NBA Finals. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

- 23:12Speaker 5: T ESPN guys.
- 23:13Speaker 4: Once they left, we knew it was the beginning.

- 23:19Speaker 4: This is great.
- 23:20Speaker 3: Yeah, you need moving, you do.
- 23:22Speaker 1: Want You do understand though, the way that advertising works.
- 23:25Speaker 2: They promised the advertisers a certain audience for the NBA Finals,
- 23:29Speaker 2: and these people buy their advertising and then so what's
- 23:32Speaker 2: gonna end up happening is they're gonna have to give
- 23:33Speaker 2: away free commercials. And I work for a broadcast company.
- 23:36Speaker 2: There's nothing broadcast companies hate more than giving away free commercials.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Trust me, they can't stand it. It drives the executives bokers.

- 24:04Speaker 2: You just said it was going to be a sweep again,
- 24:06Speaker 2: make your money easier.
- 24:07Speaker 5: It'll be exciting.

- 24:27Speaker 4: He's hand. Yeah, I think they're a good hands.
- 24:30Speaker 5: Seriously, though, I think they're a good hands.
- 24:34Speaker 1: You gotta it's conceivable.
- 24:37Speaker 2: The problem is they how do these guys resonate with
- 24:42Speaker 2: not us because we're basketball.
- 24:43Speaker 5: Fans, we're older, we're a little older.
- 24:45Speaker 4: I know, yeah, we're a little.
- 24:46Speaker 2: You know, we're hip, we're cool, we're debonair, right, we
- 24:49Speaker 2: got life behind us and you know, little life ahead
- 24:52Speaker 2: of us.
- 24:52Speaker 1: We hope. But here's the thing.
- 24:53Speaker 2: I mean, if you you know, I mean, who knows
- 24:56Speaker 2: whether these guys are going to resonate with people that
- 24:58Speaker 2: aren't hardcore fans.
- 24:59Speaker 1: That's the this is all about.
- 25:00Speaker 4: I don't I get you.

- 26:19Speaker 2: for it with some nice nice He probably had a
- 26:21Speaker 2: nice meal, so he's better now.
- 26:22Speaker 5: So you know, it'll be a tough decade for him
- 26:25Speaker 5: if he keeps.
- 26:25Speaker 1: It up, it won't be that tough because he'll be
- 26:28Speaker 1: out of the back. He'll be out of the NBA,

- 31:25Speaker 2: Over the weekend, the Dodgers were beating the pulp out
- 31:27Speaker 2: of the Yankees so much, how much that they caught
- 31:31Speaker 2: show Haltani a sleep in the dugout. He fell asleep,
- 31:37Speaker 2: that's malfeasance. Otani was catching a snooze in the dugout.
- 31:43Speaker 2: It reminded me of years ago doing the weekend overnight
- 31:47Speaker 2: show and one of our update guys we went to
- 31:49Speaker 2: the update and he didn't talk, but he was in
- 31:54Speaker 2: the update studio, the old update studio, and I remember
- 31:57Speaker 2: the boardops like, hey, he's not he's not talking, but
- 32:01Speaker 2: he's there on the mic. And so I went over
- 32:04Speaker 2: and he had fallen asleep with the mic on and
- 32:09Speaker 2: was snoozing, like right in the middle, like sitting up, Yeah,
- 32:13Speaker 2: sitting up on the mic, ready to talk.
- 32:15Speaker 1: A talented actually, and he was like that. It wasn't a.

- 32:24Speaker 1: Was that kind of thing.
- 32:26Speaker 2: And yeah, that was very interesting. We thought maybe he
- 32:29Speaker 2: was having a medical condition, but it was just he
- 32:31Speaker 2: was tired. So and he's I haven't seen him in years.
- 32:34Speaker 2: He's got some website he still does. But it was interesting.
- 32:38Speaker 2: It was interesting. So Tony fallen asleep. I've not fallen
- 32:41Speaker 2: asleep while doing the show. I've wanted to fall asleep
- 32:44Speaker 2: while doing the show. I have not fallen asleep while
- 32:46Speaker 2: doing the show. That has not happened. I did mention
- 32:50Speaker 2: this last hour. I didn't pay it off. So the
- 32:54Speaker 2: Colorado Rockies the first team ever to lose fifty games,
- 32:57Speaker 2: before winning ten in baseball since nineteen on one. Dick
- 33:01Speaker 2: Monford perfect name for the owner of the Rockies, Dick
- 33:06Speaker 2: anyway before there be a little taste of that Dick.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Before the twenty twenty three season, somebody clipped and saved
- 33:11Speaker 2: this comedy.
- 33:12Speaker 1: Said, what the Padres are doing? Spending all this money?
- 33:15Speaker 2: What the Padres are doing, I don't one hundred percent
- 33:17Speaker 2: agree with though I know that our fans probably agree
- 33:21Speaker 2: with it. The Rockies penny pinching owner said, we'll see
- 33:25Speaker 2: how it works out.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Well.
- 33:26Speaker 2: Since then, they've kept the receipts clip and saved. Since
- 33:30Speaker 2: the Rockies owner questioned the direction of the San Diego
- 33:33Speaker 2: Padres baseball team, the Padres since that date are thirty
- 33:37Speaker 2: four games above five hundred. The Colorado Rockies since that
- 33:43Speaker 2: comment by the Rockies owner are one hundred and twenty
- 33:47Speaker 2: five games below five hundred. The Colorado Rockies are one
- 33:51Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five games below five hundred. The Podres
- 33:54Speaker 2: are thirty four games above five hundred. Who goofed, I've
- 33:59Speaker 2: got to know, well, that would be the owner of

- 37:15Speaker 6: Late last week, Jason Kelsey suggested on his podcast that
- 37:19Speaker 6: a team representing the NFL and a team representing flag
- 37:21Speaker 6: football players, so you know, likes professional flag football players
- 37:25Speaker 6: have a game to determine who the twenty twenty eight
- 37:28Speaker 6: US Olympic team will be.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Ben, what do you think of this idea?
- 37:31Speaker 2: It's a terrible idea because the NFL players would lose
- 37:34Speaker 2: and that would be embarrassing. And the NFL wants their
- 37:37Speaker 2: players in the game. So no, that's a terrible idea.
- 37:40Speaker 2: These people play flag football all the time. They're good
- 37:42Speaker 2: at it. The NFL players aren't. They played tackle football.
- 37:45Speaker 2: It's a different sport. The NFL is good. They want
- 37:48Speaker 2: their players in the Olympics, and that's a bad idea.

- 37:55Speaker 6: Pro next season and that he is very capable of
- 37:58Speaker 6: doing it.
- 37:58Speaker 1: Ben, do you think Likely can be an All Pro?
- 38:00Speaker 1: Tight ends? So the Chargers coach thinks one of his
- 38:02Speaker 1: players should be an All Pro? Shouldn't they all be
- 38:04Speaker 1: All Pro? Shouldn't you want everyone to be? Shouldn't you?
- 38:07Speaker 2: I mean, if you're the the Ravens, rather wouldn't want
- 38:10Speaker 2: everyone to be an All Pro?
- 38:11Speaker 1: Yes? Lamar Jackson loves tight ends, so yes, absolutely. Next.
- 38:16Speaker 6: Kirby Smart said over the weekend that he thinks the
- 38:18Speaker 6: biggest issue with college football is the timing or the
- 38:20Speaker 6: transfer portal windows right now there are two, when in
- 38:22Speaker 6: December one and April Smart says they should only be
- 38:24Speaker 6: one and that other coaches unanimously agree.
- 38:27Speaker 1: That is he right about it being the biggest issue.
- 38:29Speaker 1: But it's a giant problem. It's not the it's one
- 38:32Speaker 1: of the biggest issues. Let's put it that way. They
- 38:34Speaker 1: got to fix that's ridiculous. How do we do He
