• 3:51
  Speaker 1: pro Bouncy Ball Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy. The hiatus
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: on the NBA Finals ends tonight. It's back on and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like Donkey Kong, so Jalen Runson and the New York
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Knicks looking to end a long Championship draft that goes
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: back before cable television, before the Internet, when rotary phones
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: were ruling the world, way back in the day. And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: they'll take on Wemby, the Parisian Prodigy, the Import from
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Peri and the San Antonio Spurs. Game one is in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: San Antonio, which means it is time for everyone's favorite
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: guessing game, predictions. Predictions. Predictions. As you know, predictions are
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: like fortune cookies, vague enough to sound smart later. The
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: key is to be vague. So that is a good
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: jumping off point. Let's discuss toss up question. Who you
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: got the Knicks or the Spurs. Who's going to win
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the NBA Finals? Make the call. So I've got shampoo,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Ferrara Brands, and East River. We'll combine all of these
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: things together and we are going to give you a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: migraine headache unless we don't, but we'll give some pharmacy
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: great ibuprof and so you'll be okay. So number one,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: number one, number one, number one one one, all right,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna go with the boys from the Alamo.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: That's right, Sand and Tonio. We'll stand atop the mountain
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. Another June and another
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: therapy bill for the New York Knickerbocker fans. As San Antonio,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we'll add a fresh chapter to the Book of Manhattan Misery.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. So now if you look on a
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: tablet and not on paper. Nobody really uses paper, although
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: we do on a tablet though. New York is bringing
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a knife, a plastic knife, and then San Antonio's got
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a lightsaber. It's a lightsaber fight, and the Knicks have
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a knife, a plastic knife. And the reason is because
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Victor Wembonyama is going to do ufo things. We live
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: in the Age of Discovery. The goblins are out there
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and as far as I know, there's at least a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: one percent chance that Victor Wamanyama is a creation from
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: somewhere else out in the cosmos. So Wemby is gonna
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: go out there and he's going to do his thing,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and Nick'll be trying to read the instruction manual. How
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: do we stop this? What do we doing? And it's
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: like like the shampoo. Okay, Wemby is head and shoulders,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: head and shoulders the top player in the NBA finals,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and you don't need to go too deep it's an
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Okham's razor situation. The simplest answer is the right answer.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: He's head and shoulders above everyone else. In fact, he's
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: three zip codes. I looked it up. I looked at
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the US postal code. He's three zip codes above anyone else. Wemby. Now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: there is one little thing that I'd like to address here,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the memo to Wemby. No naps, no lollygagging, and no mercy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: There were some stretches against the thunder where he didn't shoot,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: he wasn't aggressive, he was way too passive. He looked
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like a French soldier retreating. So don't do that. Don't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: do that, don't be daydreaming like the words. If you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: take every possession like it matters, and you don't take
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a half off here or a quarter off there, San Antonio,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: there's no way they can lose this series. Now, New York,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: do you have to imagine going in just based on
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: common basketball one oh one. You don't have to be
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: some kind of insider to know that New York is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: going to try to bully Wemby, because that appears to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: be the only part of his game where there is
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a weakness there that He's about as heavy when Banyama
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: as a feather, and so you attack him and the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: thunder had a little success until they realized, well, chet
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Holmgrin sucks. He can't do it, and so Carl Anthony
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: town So do you have any confidence in Carl Anthony
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Towns because I don't. He doesn't strike me as the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: kind of guy capable of physicality and bully ball. Now
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: he's gonna prove me wrong. Is Karl Anthony Town's gonna
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: prove me wrong in the NBA Finals. I'll believe it
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: when I see it.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: The other key, and this is for San Antonio. If
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: you really want to f up the Knicks, you just
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: booby trapped Jalen Brunson. That's it. And they have the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: players that are capable of doing it with you look
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: at the guards there, Dearon Fox and Castle and the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: different guys they have that can match up with Jalen
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: bruns So you harass Brunson and you can't overhelp obviously,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: because that becomes a problem. They have the type of
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: players with great length, as the Wise Man said there,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that can disrupt. As Phil Jackson said back in the day,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: hands on balls, hands on balls, disrupt those passes, get
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: a finger on the balls, and then the ball will
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: go flying the opposite direction. And also it help to
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: get rebounds. Get some rebounds there. That would help control
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the glass and force the Knicks to just shoot mid
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: range jump shots because they don't really kill you. Even
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: if they make a lot of them, they don't really
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: kill you. And do that, and you'll be eating as
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: much text mex as you want. You'll be partying on
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the riverwalk. So that's it now, page two. Here on
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the New York side, in particular, here, there's been a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: lot of bandwidth. I've been consuming the content from the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: basketball media elites, and they tell me that it's all
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: about momentum, that the reason the Knicks are going to
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: win is because of Uncle Moe, not the guy who
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: lives in Jersey momentum. Okay, So I like to be
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the guy that pumps the breaks on the momentum talk.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: I'll be that guy. You're not that guy, Pal, You're
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: not that guy. I am that guy. Now. New York,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: it is true, has won eleven consecutive games in the playoffs,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: eleven in a row, all of them by double digits.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So I was all excited about that. They swept the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Sixers and then the Cadavers in the Eastern Conference finals.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: And at this moment, as we get ready to begin
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty six NBA Finals, at this moment, the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Knickerbockers have the top point differential in NBA playoff history.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I'm told that's pretty good. They enter the finals at
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: plus two hundred and seventy one across. I believe that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the right number across all of their playoff games. That
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: is uncharted territory as we enter the NBA Finals. So
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the question how much does the Jalen Brunson Nick's momentum
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: narrative matter? That's the question. So, as I have pointed out,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I will go a little deeper here. This so called
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: momentum is pure, unadulterated Grade A juice. It's hogwash juice
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is what it is. It's all natural, no artificial sweeteners,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: because it's hogwash, is what it is. Now, beating the Hawks,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the Sixers, and the Cadavers, this was not the Gauntlet,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: This was the candy Isle. All the Knicks so far
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs have beaten the Ferrara brands, They beat
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: the Nerds, the sweet Tarts, and the fundip that's who
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: they played so far, not actual quality opponents in any
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: is around. So congratulations, you beat playoff Harden. Are we
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: supposed to be impressed? You beat playoff Harden in the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference frontal Pg. Thirteen and Philadelphia shouldn't even been there.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And then the CJ. McCollum is your top player option
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks, the journeyman CJ. McCollum. We all right, So
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: congratulations on that. And as far as the other part
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: of it, which is obviously if you're new to the show,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: let me be the voice of reason here. Momentum is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: a bunch of gibberish, and it's one of those things
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you tell before reality shows up. It's like a fairy tale.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: This woo for the New York Knicks will evaporate the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: second the Spurs are able to exploit the many mismatches
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that they have in their favor. All right, And so
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: he said, okay, Victor wemban Yama starts treating the Knicks
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: front court like a clearance rack. And then what happened
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to the momentum? They had all the momentum the first
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: off shooting night for the Knicks. Where did that go?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why it didn't make all those shots.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: They had all the momentum. Yeah. So I've been doing
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: this for a minute to and if you look at
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the annals of sports, like the history of sports, it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: is a graveyard littered with momentum darlings, media darlings of momentum,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and they end up getting bounced. It's like the fairy
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: tale Cinderella's carriage turning back into a pumpkin well before midnight.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And you don't talk about these teams because they lost.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They lost. It doesn't matter their accolades and all that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: They didn't get it done. Now, the final point, and
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: this is a big problem for a lot of people.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: What I'm about to say, we'll stick with the owner's box.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: So for years and years and years, the Knicks have
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: served up dog food teams. It has been back and
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the one common denominator has been James Dolan, the owner. Right,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: many media pundits have attacked Dolan and they've just cursed
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: his name. James Dolan, the Knicks owner, has been called
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: by many so called experts the worst owner in sports. Now.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: He has owned the Knicks since his daddy bought the
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: team back in the nineties and put him in charge.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So it's been like thirty years. James Dolan has run
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: through some of the biggest names in that sport. I'm
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: talking about Isaiah Thomas, Larry Brown, Phil Jackson, Tom Thibodeau,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Mike Dan Tony, these are big names that it just
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: was a disaster when they worked at the building above
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Penn Station. It just did not go well there. He's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: lost sexual harassment lawsuits for millions of dollars. James Dolan,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: he turned MSG into a police state where they used
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: facial recognition technology. Not to keep bad guys out, not
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to keep criminals out. No, no, no, to ban personal
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: enemies of James doll they've used facial They got in
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: trouble for that. Google it. I'm not making that up.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: They sued the Raptors James Dolan did for like ten
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: million dollars, claiming they stole analytical data. Of course, why
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: would anyone steal anything from the Knicks. They were terrible
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: for twenty five years, and then he quietly dropped that lawsuit.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I can go on and on. Banned a fan from
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden for telling him to sell the team
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: a few years back. Ban Charles Oakley, where of the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Great Knicks was banned from MSG. So the question if
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the Knicks to five the Malord prediction, and if I'm
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: wrong and the New York Knicks end up winning the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: title here, what would that do to the legend of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: James Dolan being the worst owner in sports and the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: idea that you need to have a good owner to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: win is always the argument. We can't win, We've got
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a bad owner. I hear that all that Ardy Marino
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: with the Angels. He's an income poop. They can't win
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: because of already sell the team. People chanting sell well,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: people chant it for years to James Dolan to sell
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: the Knickerbockers. So if the Knicks win the title, James
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Dolan a long running punchline, the patron saint of bad optics,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: James Dolan, the human cease and Desist letter. That guy,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: he gets a ring on his resume. The Knicks win
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: this thing, and for thirty years, the pundits, they all
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: blamed him for every single thing that went wrong. They
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: bamed him for the losing the size of the subway
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: rats in Manhattan, the smell of trash in August on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: a hot summer night in the city, which is the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: really the aroma of Manhattan. That smell of that rotting
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: food and the rats eating get there at five, six,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock at night when they're picking up the trash there,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that's the smell. Blame him, Blame him. A title wouldn't
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: just crack the you need a great owner to win narrative.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: It would detonate that debt kaboom a kaboom, leaving that
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: narrative floating face down in the East River. Okay, and
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you're you're looking at the ultimate MythBusters. It's not like
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: James Dolan has changed. He's the same guy he was.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: It would be proof that you don't need a great owner,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: that you just hire enough people eventually will hire one
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: that knows what they're doing, and you get a couple
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: of good players and that's it, and just don't actively
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: burn the building down. If you're the owner, and it
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter what kind of loser you are and what
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: kind of schmuck you are, your team can win. And
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: if Dolan wins every sports you know, mythologist, if you will,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: needs to turn in their badge and gone, and that's it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: The nick fans also, who have spent decades chanting sell
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: THECK tape. Sell the tape at Madison Square Garden. Are
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: you now going to have to send thank you notes
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to Dolan? Is that how that works? The legend would
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: be dead the bad guy wins if the Knicks win,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: do you want the bad guy to win? And then
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: you can turn on the blues music? It is the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show. We are going to have round three
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: and four of the NFL Book Them, and I need
• 18:30

  Speaker 1: mighty six ninety way back many years ago. Probably good
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: thing she didn't get the job. My paths are cool
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: like that. You never know. She became a sideline reporter
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: in the NFL for many, many years. Let's say hello
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: to blind Scott. Oh, hold onmy punched the right line up.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: That's not blind Scott. That's blind Scott. Hello, blind Scott
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: on the North end of Boston.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I did everything you told me to.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: I looked into take a medication.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I talked to a therapist.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: I can't get to a doctor's department because I'll go
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: to the bathroom in my pants. But I'm having a
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: schizophrenic episode in the past twenty four hours. So I've
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: been talking. We've been talking for twenty five years. So
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: for a while I just isolated the episode to Ben
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Maller's email, but Ben threw me out of his email.
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: So today I had a problem with my phone broke,
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: so I looked at it, taking this medication. It's called sarahquill.
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: So I took it in the pass and it makes
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: me feel like I don't want to live anymore when
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: I take it. So I can't take that. But I'm
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: non violence. I'm not going to admit myself at this time,
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: so no other radio shows will take my call. So
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: the solution is I'm calling your show. But Ben, I
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: wish you would unblock me on email because my mom
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: was confronting me with the same issues that you and
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: your wife were. Kept fright to me and I could
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: put you both on an email because I'm making partners
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: with the problem is I'm trying to get people fired
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: from their jobs again.
• 24:13

• 24:24
  Speaker 1: email friend for many, many years. I think it was
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the seventy seventh time you threatened to kill me that
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I decided that was enough. If it had only been
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: seventy six, I would have kept it at seventy six,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But then you went to seventy seven, and I said,
• 24:36

  Speaker 1: it's Mallard. How about that?
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: To the third degree, this is one gets grilled.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: All right, here we go and the koubaloo for the
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: reading of the questions. But it won't sound like he's
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: reading well.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is calling this transition to analyst a pause
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: on his playing career.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: But let's say he never plays another down again. Will
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: he make it to the Hall of Fame? Well, I
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: imagine that at some point he will get to Canton, Ohio,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: and he will buy a ticket to get into Canton, Ohio.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: There is no chance he is going to be not
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame. He never even got a vote
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: for the MVP Award, never never made an All Pro team,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and the team that he won with he was along
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: for the ride. It was the legion of boom defense
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. Russ is one of He had a long career,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: not a Hall of Fame career, not anywhere close by
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: any metric. He's he a Hall of Favory.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Next, despite his poor performance in the Western Conference finals,
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the Oklahoma City Thunder have decided that they are not
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: wanting to pursue a trade of chen Holmgren.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: Ben, Do you think this is the right move by then?
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: All right? So I don't believe the Thunder They're gonna
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: listen and if they get the right offer, they will
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: trade chet Holmgren. There is little reason to keep him.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: He's a max player who became a mouse. A mouse
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: at the most important time. I had two chances to
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: win the Western Conference and this guy choked, So why
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: would you keep him? They change it up a little bit,
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: trade him. He's got to you know, you can get
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: something for him. Still, so I don't believe they're obviously
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: gonna say they're gonna keep him. We'll find out when
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: we get back to the NBA three months from now,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: when they come right back next.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Later this week, EA Sports will announce the next cover
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: athlete for the Madden video game in Chicago. Now being
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: in Chicago has led people to speculate that it'll be
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. But if you were choosing the cover athlete
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: for this year's installments, who would you have picked.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Well, he obviously picked Miles Garrett. Put him in that
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Ram uniform on there, and that's the guy they picked.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: The whole Caleb Williams thing, it is a truly with
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: all joking aside, it is a slap at the Seattle
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Seahawks because Seattle, that's how uninteresting the Seahawks were. You'd think, well,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: let's put Jackson Smith and Jigba in there or somebody
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: like it. With Sam Donald, you can't put Sam Donald
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and it wasn't gonna buy the video game, so that's it.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Didn't Barkley was on there last year right this set,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Philadelphia had won the Super Bowl and he had a
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: great year. That tells you how mediocre that Seattle team was.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: That they're just not popular and they can't sell video games.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: So that to me, that's the story. Now Caleb Williams like,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: that's fine. I don't really believe in the whole Wami
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: thing and all that. It doesn't matter that Bears aren't
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: winning the Rams gona win. There we go, Coop Mallard
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: of the third degree, how did we go.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: I won the game.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I won lucky. I loved the game.
