• 0:21
  Speaker 2: a YouTube side chat. What vibe did you get from
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Lebron's a fireside chat with Pat McAfee.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Also, how did Lebron's general commentary about the NBA journey
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: that he's been on strike you and is there a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: deeper meaning to Lebron James implying the draft lottery was
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: rigged so the Calves would pick him back in three.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about that. Seems like kind of a big deal.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: We'll get to all that and more as we run

• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Ten thousand, tire rack dot com the Way tire Buying
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: show beat, And so we were back at it based
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: on the listener feedback that we get. And not that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I write back to any of you losers, but you
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: just send me email during the day and they give
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: me feedback, and I try to say, off the social media,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: that's the devil's playground. But I did get a lot
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: of a commentary about something that happened in Indianapolis, and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: it wasn't about what happened at night. I guess it
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: was an all day affair. It was a Lebron Day
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: in the Hoosier State. I don't know if the governor
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: declared it Lebron Day, but apparently it was. I didn't
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: get that memo. So anyway, Lebron James capping off his
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: day with a buzzer beater, a Obama like bailout of
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the Lakers a ten point fourth corter Luca had missed
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: what was supposed to be the game winning shot. He
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: had thirty four points of Lakers barely got by the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: By a whisker. Not impressed. That is a bad win
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: for the Lakers, who are clearly in trouble.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: The real ones know that the Lakers are not not
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: going anywhere. But that was the undercart, right, So that
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: was the undercart and everyone was he happening about the undercart,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: not the main event.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: So what was it? I'll tell you. So Lebron James
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: did an interview. Wow, who knew?
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: So Lebron went in studio with Pat McAfee and he
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: hammed it up on the YouTube Influencers show with his pals.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, I was so exciting. You see any of this? No,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: well probably not, probably missed it. So some of the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: talking points here and I could do the whole thing,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: but I'll give you some of them that you were like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: did you see what Lebron't believe Lebron did that?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Lebron ripped the rotun Brian Windhorse saying the NBA reporter, Well,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: rather let me tell you, uh, let's hear Lebron himself
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: here's Lebron commenting on Windy a longtime NBA reporter who
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: went to the same high school as Lebron in Ohio.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: See a lot of too, Like I seen Brian Warehurst
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: one of these shows not too long ago, Like.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: You guys played together.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, was like you know, he says, he's like my
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: best friend and these guys are just weird.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Just weird, all right, So someone say Lebron's weird. Here's Lebron. Also,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he talked back and forth about Stephen A. Smith. He
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: compared Stephen A. Smith to well to Taylor Swift. He
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: went on on that rant, said that he's not a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift like tour run. With this particular point, he also.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Explained why he stepped in to honor his son and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: his teammate there when things got off the rails.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And here's a little taste of what that was like.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: He's not on a Taylor Swift tour run right now,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: we're watching it. If there's one person Kelsey couldn't wait
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to the video or to drop so you can address it,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: is your ass. Like seriously, he completely like missed the
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: whole point. Never would I ever not allow people to
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: talk about the sport, criticize players about what they do
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: on the court.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: That is your job.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: But when you take it and you get personal with it,
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: it's my job to not only protect my damn household,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: but protect the players.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, do that in public. You could have done
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: that in private. But wait, there's more. Lebron also broke
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: down his relationship with Michael Jordan. Spoiler alert.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: He says he has none, says that's not going to
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: happen till Jordan retires. Also double spoiler alert, they ain't
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: hanging out when Jordan when he retires. Lebron retires either.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: But wait, there's more.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Lebron also suggesting the twenty oh three lottery, that the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: draft lottery that saw the Hometown Cadavers win the Lebron sweepstakes,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that that was a rigged deal. That he implied that
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: was rigged. So let us discuss the question what vibe
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: did you get from the very lengthy Lebron James fireside
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: chat with Pat McAfee. So I've got Egyptian roller coaster
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and mcmillions, and we will combine all of these things
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: together and we are going to make a mirror. Because
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: there's one thing Lebron loves more than anything, and it's
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: glazing at himself in the mirror.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He loves it all right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: So A obviously there's a lot to chew on here,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and I did watch A big chunk of this was
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I was on the treadmill and I wanted to poke
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: my eyes out till they start started bleeding. But the
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: big takeaway is this was obviously an oasis for Lebron.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: A couple of years ago the very popular term safe space.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: This was a safe space for Lebron, a very secure environment.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And watching the YouTube clip and then hearing the audio
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and putting everything together, it reminded me of ancient ancient Egypt,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: the ancient Egyptians. And you see some of the drawings
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: they left behind from ancient Egypt and the hieroglyphs, and imagine,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: if you will, in the cartoon bubble above your head,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: because this is what I was envisioning. Lebron is a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: pharaoh and he's sitting on the Pat McAfee pedestal, surrounded
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: by McAfee fan bearers, and they use those ostrich feathers
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: because that's what they did in Egypt.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: They use those ostrich.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Feathers and they fan Lebron to comfort him. And if
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: that doesn't work for you, you could go more like
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a more modern reference, that Lebron was at a seven
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to eleven and the only item that he was getting
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: from the McAfee crew was the slurpeit.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It was a slurp fest slurp slurp slurp slurpet.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Given at Rich Paul, the right hand man for Lebron,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the deal maker who was in the studio making sure
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that everything went just as planned. Don't ask about that.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Don't ask about that. Be careful what you talk about,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: all right now, page two.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So how did Lebron's general.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Commentary about his NBA journey strike you? Because a lot
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: of it was was fluff about Lebron, the kid from Akron,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah blah. So that part of it was
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: like a roller coaster ride. And I'm not talking about
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: a real white knuckle roller coaster. I'm talking about Dumbo,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the flying elephant, and the Lebron half man, half elephant.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He's got the memory of an elephant. He never seems
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: to forget near photograph memory for those who have taken
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: shots at him. Now, the part that I liked the
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: most was he's still bitter. All these years later, it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: almost been a generation, and Lebron's still bitter about people
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: pointing out how absurd that fugazy decision thing was in
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Connecticut and how.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Absurd that was.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: And he claimed, well, that was the turning point, you know.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: That's when I realized that I didn't like the media,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you know, and really Lebron's not all that special. He's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: just your classic grudge holder. And this is a diamond dozen.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: As I have said for many, many years, my position
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: has not changed. The most important element in sport is
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: the critic. Because every team that wins, every player, even
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: a guy like Lebron James who's been dominating the regular.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Season for years and then usually screws up in the playoffs.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: But Lebron still has that chip on his shoulder because
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: of the critic. Right, he retains all those negative comments
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: and he just.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Stews in those juices. He just stews in them. He's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: determined to prove the doubter is wrong.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And even when it's manufactured outrage, it doesn't seem to
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: matter all right now, last word here, so is there
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: a deeper meaning?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Let's get to that what I thought was the most
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: interesting part of this.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Was Lebron James implying that their draft lottery has.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Regularly been rigged, and it certainly was rigged when the
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Calves picked him back in three So.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there is a deeper me. I think this
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is a big deal. And it's one thing for Joe
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Blow talk show hosts to say it's rigged. It's another
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: thing for some dopey bot or algorithm on social media.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: To say it's rigged. But this is the bloody face
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: of the.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: League who seemingly believes that the NBA is a corrupt organization.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: How else could you take that? It seems like that's
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: gonna have legs.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Keep in mind that this storyline is as old as time,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: his oldest time. And I remember the former commissioner, the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: late Great Venerable David Stern, who dealt with this because
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: he was the commissioner when they first rigged the lottery
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: for Patrick Ewing in the nineteen eighties. And David Stern
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: dismissed it at the time. In fact, he said he
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: didn't really care as long as people.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Were talking about the NBA. Yeah, but now now we're
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in the age where you shouldn't talk about us because
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't like what you're saying. But back then they're like, oh,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: how long you're talking about it? Now, there obviously is
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: no hard evidence, meaning no one's come out. There's no
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: whistleblower that has said, yeah, the lottery's rigged and here's
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: how they did it. There's none of that. There's no
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: hard evidence. There's a lot of circumstantial clues. There's many
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: convenient outcomes that had driven the conversation, such as Lebron
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: reference when he won, or his team, the Cavaliers, his
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: local team, you know from Mackman over in Cleveland. One
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: in three hometown kids stays in Cleveland.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: The Chicago Bulls got their local hero, Derrek Rose in
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: eight and I believe they had a less than two
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: percent chance that year of winning the draft lottery. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: then the other thing is when Lebron left for Miami,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: the conspiracy was, well, to make things better for the
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Cavaliers and Dan Gilbert the older, we'll make sure that
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: you get some good players in there. So the Cavaliers
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: in the span of you know, how long was Lebron
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: in Miami four years or something like that, the Cavaliers
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: got three number one picks in that time while Lebron
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: was in South Florida twenty eleven, twenty thirteen to twenty fourteen,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and so that raised some my bro.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I said, wait a minute, what's going on with that?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Trying to set the Cavs up, Like the League took
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: care of Cleveland because they lost Lebron and that lost
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a lot of capital.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to go to those games.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: The draft lottery truthers will point to these patterns and
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: also the ultimate storyline.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It's a TV show.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You need good stories for a TV show, even though
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: it's supposed to be real, and you know, you do
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the whole fiction nonfiction things supposed.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: To be real. However, you know you got to have
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: storylines and if.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: You need to nudge those along a little bit and
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it helps the revenue, it helps the bottom line, you
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: do it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: And the idea that it's impossible that there's too many
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: people involved to hear that a lot. But remember that
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that mcmillions. I saw that documentary a few years ago.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: It's great. I recommend it's still around. You can find
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: it if you know where to look. But that was
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: the one where.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: They rigged the much beloved McDonald's Monopoly game and so
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: if you can rig that, and they got away with
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: it for a very long time before before somebody stepped
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: in there. I guess I remember Uncle Jerry, if you
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: saw the documentary Uncle Jerry, some.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Mob guy was was setting it up.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: But since the weighted system started in nineteen ninety, so
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: that's that's almost thirty almost thirty five years of the
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: draft lottery, the team with the top odds has won
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the number one overall pick about twenty five percent of
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the time, about twenty five percent of the time.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And the nerds, the people that are good at.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Math, will say, well, that's that's right on par with
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: the probabilities, so that's there's nothing there's nothing wrong with that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: That's that's all good. But the theory is that you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: don't manipulate it every year because not every years there
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: a generational player.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: There just isn't right. There's a lot of years there's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: like suck bag guys. You know, some dude from France
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you never heard of, who will who will not sell
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: us single ticket, So you don't really rig it for
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: that who cares? But when it's rare and appropriate that
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you can help a storyline along and listen, I buy it.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I buy it. And I have worked over the years
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: with some people that were part of.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: That famous nineteen eighty five draft lottery where the Knickerbocker's
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: got Patrick Ewing, and based on what they have said
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: and others I've spoken to, I totally.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Now, you know, I don't think you do it every year,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: but rare and appropriate.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: There's some funny business that goes on all right, So
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: what do you think about all that? Did you have
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: a different perspective as we did the hypothesis or not hypothesis?
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: The recap, the recap of Lebron.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Doing the very long, very lengthy chit chat as the
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Lakers were in Indiana to play the Pacers, and then
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Lebron bailed out the Lakers, who are really falling apart here.
• 15:57

  Speaker 1: Bulk of the games.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Will I will see at least part of the second
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: TV window on Opening Day. But we began here on
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the Ben Malor show yapping and reacting to Lebron as
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: he had a rip roaring over one hour, very.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Provocative unless it wasn't. It was a lot of slurping,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: a lot of slurping there for Lebron. I mean slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp, slop. Yeah,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: it was right there.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, he got his back scratched, his toes sucked. It
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: was a love fest. The biscuits were buttered all that
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: by Pat McAfee and his crew man.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: That was great. That was like Lebron was speaking the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: season ticket holders of the Lakers. My god. Anyway, we'll
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: reacting to that.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: If you would like to comment, you can join us
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: now at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Ran.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: Oh that's little Maggie, that clip. I've been here so long.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: That little sweet innocent girl Maggie from Cleveland is now
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: all grown up.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: She's a grown ass woman and.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: She likes what in her thirties.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: You don't have to go that farlow Raina. No. I
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: think she's in her late twenties now. I think she's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: out of college, I believe.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: And she reached out to me, and I know her
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: dad still listens.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: But they would drive around. I was from the weekend
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Overnight show.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: They'd drive around delivering newspapers and he used to bring
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: his daughter with him on the weekends. And so that
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: was when Lebron left to go to Miami the first time,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: and little Maggie.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Called up and then she said played again. Yeah, that's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: so cute, little sweet Maggie. She's all well, she's all
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: growing up.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Random Ryan writes in in Carolina says eight plus and
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a set of Goodyear tires from tire raq dot com
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: on the Mallard monologue. And I'm sure there was a
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: cold envelope involved in three to get Lebron to the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Horrible Cavaliers. Eugenie Chicago says, when you do the Baseball
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: hour Band, no Dodger talk because they're cheating with all
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: those damn all stars on the road. They're not cheating.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: There's no buzzers. They're not like the Astros. They're not
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: using whistles and buzzers and all that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: That's not going on, right, El Patriot, Pyatria, Patria, I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know this. I don't recognize his
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: name anyway. This guy writes it says NBA is rigged.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I'm still pissed about the ghostly fowls on the Clippers,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Loy vaught against Carl Malone and the Plus.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's old school, man. I've moved on from that.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I'm still bitter about the Clippers losing Game seven to
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the Mike d'antni Suns. I went to that game in
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Phoenix and still pissed off about that.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: That was.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: You know, they offer therapy for that, Ben.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: I don't eat there. I'm a manly man, Lorena. I'm
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: old therapy, I know, and I just complain. I have
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: four hours of talk radio therapy, and that you know
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that this is like therapy. I come in here, whatever
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: annoys me in sports, I just complain about and they
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: pay me for it, and then I leave and then
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the next day comes around and then hear I see
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: more stuff that pisses me off. And then I come
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: in here and I get on the bully pulpit and I.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Start ranting and raving, and there you go. Yeah, it's wonderful.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: So I get four hours of therapy. Alan in Utah
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: writes in he says, Mallard nailed it. Lebron harro X
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: were a fluke, pure lucky garbage. And he says, by
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the way, this may have been edited by Grock the ai.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: There on on Twitter so or ex or whatever the o.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: They're calling you a gunner who was in the running
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: for the Worst Call of the year. He's such a
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: bad caller he couldn't win the Worst Caller of the year.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: But Gunner writes in, he says, you think the Lakers are.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Falling apart, I'm here waiting for the Clippers to fall
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: apart like breaking ice.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: Well, bad news, Gunner. The People's team went into midtown Manhattan,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: the mecca Madison Square Garden and put a beating on
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: the knicker boxer Jason Smith. Couldn't even show his face
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: around here. That Nick suck up Jason Smith because the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: the La Clippers shoved it down the throat of the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Knickerbockers at the Garden at the Guy they buy as
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: many as nineteen points. They win vintage James Harden and
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard. They went back and forth in the second half.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: They were down a little bit early in the game,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: but that was just for for drama. You had big
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: celebrities like Chris Rock there and the people that no
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: one's ever heard of, like Russell Wilson, all in attendance
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: at the Garden, and they.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Give you free tickets.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: Now I watched the I watched the MSG feed on
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the satellite, and they give you if you're a celebrity,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: they give you like free tickets, but they have to
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: show you. They have celebrity row the Knicks like they
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: like to pat themselves in the back.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: We have all these.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: Celebrities that go to the games, and so they will
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: give you the tickets right there because rich people can't
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: afford to buy those tickets, so they give them to them,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: as I understand it, and then they put them on
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: the scoreboard, put them on the broadcast and all that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: But in the second half, Kawhi Leonard had nineteen points
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: and James Harden had sixteen, and the Clippers won, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: bad news for you.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Gun are bad news bears.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: If you look at your NBA standings, the Clippers now,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: even though they're tied, they win the tie breakers. So
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: the La Clippers are out of the play in and
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: are in the number six spot, and they are on
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the prowl closing in on the Lakers, closing in on Memphis,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: and the Lakers are falling apart here and so things
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: are looking up. I think the Lakers have the second
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: worst record among teams that are in playoff contention in
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: the Western Conference over the last ten games. They are
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: in some serious trouble there. I'd fire the podcaster. I'd
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: fire the podcast, get rid of him if you're trying
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Just bad news.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Nature boy rights in, I said, nature boy rights in.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: I guess we don't have it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, there it is, he says, I'm surprised Lebron didn't
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: have anything to say about Dwight Howard dancing after the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Lakers loss to Orlando. Yeah, wasn't that his? Now that
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: he didn't did he dance after? I know he danced
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: at halftime they had they put him in the Orlando
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Magic Ring of Honor. Who exactly is in the Orlando.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Is Nick Anderson in there for those miss foul shots back?
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: And is he in the Orlando Magic Ring Honor? They
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: have a pretty cool mascot. They have a fat green mascot.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: So maybe that guy's in there. That mascot's in there.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but you can send us a message
• 25:45

  Speaker 5: I'm working in the Fenway area and an old school fan.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard you say in the.

• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I do. I say that.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: I believe Loreena, I say that at the top of
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: every hour. I believe right, yes, all right, that's a
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: bad job by you, BK.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know I.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: Understand sports of casts everywhere?
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Are you blaming ninety eight five. The sports up is that?
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Why are you blaming the local station? Are you throwing
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: them out of the bosting guy? Yeah, it must be
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the board ops probably eating popcorn or something like that,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and he didn't he didn't pop me up or something.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: I bet that happened.
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, fair enough, all right, but.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: You just want to say hello. You're just driving around,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: You're like, hey, what's going on?
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: I'm driving back, I'm listening, and you know, like, what's
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: the hype? And you know there's a little hype in
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: the Fenway area about the Red Sox being you know
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: last year I went to opening day, right, Yeah, the
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: Tim Wakefield thing, and then they brought the twenty twenty
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: four World champions back and that was fun. It was amazing.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: I was playing catch with Johnny Damon out in the outfield,
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: but we all just sat there and watched the team
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: get obliterated and no one cared. And working in the
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: area now and we made some trades. I think the
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: team's gonna look good this year.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's hard for me.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: If you've heard the show over the years, you know,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: I can't really pull for Alex Bregman because he's a
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: cheating Astro so I can't. He's a moral enemy, but objectively, yeah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the Red Sox are a better team. There's certainly better
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: than to n They should be better than Tampa Bay.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: The wild card.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: To me is the Yankees, because the Yankees. Everyone a
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yankees are gonna make the playoffs. The Yankees, if you
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: look at that roster, they don't look like a playoff
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: team to me, like that's they got a messed up
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: pitching staff.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Garrett Coles out all year, so he's gone.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: And if the Yankees are out, the Red Sox should
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: at the very least be a wildcard to you in Baltimore,
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: even though they got pitching issues. They'll be a better
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: team during the regular season. But the Red Soxs would
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: be be right there. The other problem, though, is you
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: have Garrett Crochet who you better be careful there, Bka
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: because if you sneeze on him, he's gonna miss about
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: a month of the season.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: So be careful.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Don't sneeze on him, whatever you do, Okay, please, I
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: got it, Okay, all right, day, I gotta go. Thank
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: you some hot Red Sox talk right there. Red Sox
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: have the same record of every other team in the
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: American League. They are two games behind the Dodgers for
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: the top record in baseball, and the Socks are two
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: games ahead of the Cubs for the worst record in baseball.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: And when is Trevor Story? He hasn't got hurt yet,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: When does he get hurt? We know when?
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: What day Trevor Story? We should do that if I
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: was doing local Boston radio, which I'm not, but I
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: would do like a what day does Trevor Story get hurt?
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: We could? We could always fun, always a fun, a
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: fun thing to do for sure. Anyway, Art, it is
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the Ben Malor Show. As we are working our way
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: through the overnight. So when you think art, when you
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: think high class, you think sports talk radio. I said,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: it's almost like being at the lou Right, it's very
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: damn right. Yeah, we are high for louton. We're high class.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: We are. People think we're not, but we are. Those
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: people are losers that don't People line up to come
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: and see this Ben.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly. There's windows outside. They look at us.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Some of them smoke crack while they're looking, but they're outside,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: they're looking.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Unlike the Mona Lisa, you can't touch it. Hello all right? Anyway,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: it's the smells are free. It's like, what's that, Jimmy Johns.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: The smells are free? Oh I love that place. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: I like that advertising. That's good, the smells everything.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Years ago, Michael Jordan his first ever jersey, first ever jersey,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: this goes back to nineteen eighty five. It sold at auction.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: The first jersey Michael.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Jordan ever wore in the NBA with the Chicago.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Bulls sold at auction for eight hundred dollars. Is number
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: twenty three, that old school Chicago Bulls red jersey.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: For eight hundred dollars.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: And over forty years later, the same jersey was back
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: on the market and it just sold on Wednesday afternoon
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: at Sotheby's auction house for.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: How much you want to take a guess, how about
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: four point four point two million? Four point two million.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Now Jordan wore this during a nineteen eighty four preseason
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: game and.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: They actually sold it.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: This is how crazy sports memorabilia was back in the day. Like,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: this is this weird thing that happened right around like
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: the late eighties early nineties where there's a huge boom
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: in baseball cards and sports memorabilia and then they mass
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: produced because I'm of the age where I was, like,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: I collected baseball cards, and they mass produced baseball cards
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and sports memorabilia about that time, so it all the
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: value went to hell. And I remember the peak. But
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: before that, there wasn't much much hype, and that Jordan
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: jersey was just given to the Washington Bullets to sell
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: it a charity. They sold it at a charity and
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: for eight hundred bucks, and Jordan had eighteen points in
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: that preseason game. We were about two thousand people at the game.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: And here we are all these years later, and what
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: do you do with that? You gotta frame it, right,
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: It's obviously be framed. Do you just stare at it?
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Do you have like people over to the cocktail party
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and say, hey, look at that, that's Michael Jordan's original jersey.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: There's if you smell it, there might be some sweat.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're being sweat smells though from nineteen
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: eighty four it's been forty years. I would think there's
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: no smells in that. But man, four million bucks now,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I remember the story.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Recently, somewhat recently, somebody bought Michael Jordan's old home in Chicago.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: And they wanted to make it. I think they did
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: make it an airbnb and.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: It hasn't gone well. Do you see this no, uh yeah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: yeah yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: So this guy bought Jordan's old home in Chicago, and
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: he was, you know, charging I think it was like
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: a like one hundred thousand, some ridiculous amount of money
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: to rent out Jordan's home per per night, and apparently
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: no one really had that. The guy paid nine point
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: five million for Jordan's mansion and then he was Originally
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I was wrong. So originally the story was I got
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: my numbers mixed. I used Mallar math.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: So originally it was two hundred thirty thousand dollars a month,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: so we're gonna go by the month, not a night.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a night. But two hundred thirty
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: thousand a month was the rental price. And they just
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: cut that rental price because nobody was paying the two
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: hundred thirty thousand dollars, so they had to cut that
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: to try to get somebody to rent it out. They
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: cut the price by fifty thousand dollars. Oh my gosh,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: so quite the deal at one hundred and eighty thousand
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: dollars a month to live in Michael Jordan's and Jordan
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: had so much money. He lived in the suburbs of Chicago.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: He had so much money, he just like nobody wanted
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: the house. He bailed and that was it, and the
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: house was empty for years. Got the basketball court in there.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: It's got the you know, all the craft that Jordan had.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I guess they renovated it a little bit because they'd
• 34:56
