  Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? Welcome in, happy early Tuesday
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: morning to you as we started off in style. Absolutely
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: love hearing from the militia. They've been active on X
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: at the no show. Appreciate the defeats, also calling in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: eight seven to seven ninety nine on Fox. Appreciate all
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the interaction, the feedback, the opinions. Love all that stuff.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Shipped fast and free back by free road hazard protection
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: dot Com. The way tire buying should be okay. So
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: the head coach who sounds like a defense attorney, that
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: would be Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson. So let's backtrack.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Wembin Yama Game four. This is Sunday evening. He gets frustrated,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: looks like he was fouled, no call, and so Wemby
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: throws an aggressive elbow right in the chin slash throat
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: area of one nas reed smackola. He hits them flush.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: The officials review it flagrant to Wemby is ejected. A
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: stupid play by Wembin Yama really really bad, not smart whatsoever.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: And his head coach, Listen, he's a defense attorney. If
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we're in a court of law, Mitch Johnson, the Spurs
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: head coach, is a defense attorney, and he's representing a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: guilty client, Okay, and he's gonna play this game where hey,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: my client deserves a fair trial, and I'm gonna make
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: an argument on this behalf and for these reasons, and YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: He's representing a guilty client. Wembin Yama is guilty, plain
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: as day. You can't elbow someone in the face. And
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: in today's NBA, there's a be like, eh, you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just well look the other way. It's when Minyama, what
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: are you gonna do? No, he's gonna get the gate,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he's gonna get ejected, and instead, Mitch Johnson on Sunday
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: he made it sound like, I don't know, like Wemby
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: had to do. This is basically what he was saying.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Here's Mitch Johnson. Check this out, because he's making it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: sound like Wenby shouldn't have even been ejected in Game four,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: let alone us having any conversation whatsoever that he would
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: be suspended for game five. He is not suspended for
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Game five. There's no further discipline for Wemby and his
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: vicious elbow. But this is Mitch Johnson, Spurs head coach,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: what he thinks about Wemby, the elbow and this series
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: going forward. Here's Mitch Johnson.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: If the people that are in charge of controlling the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: game and protecting the physicality of the game don't do that,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: then at some point he's gonna have to protect himself
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: with physicality that people try to impose on him, and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the lack of protection is really disappointing at some level,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: it's starting to get at actually disgusting. I'm glad he
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: took matters into his old hands again, not in terms
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: of hitting nas reed By all. I mean to be
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: very clear about that. I'm glad Nazrie was okay and
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't want him to elbow him, But he's gonna
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: have to protect himself if they're not, and I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it's disgusting.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Now, here's the thing I can understand
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in general what Mitch Johnson is saying, where fundamentally he's right.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: If the Timberwolves are physical with Wemby, he's gonna get
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: physical back with them. Fine, but like that's way too simplistic.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Wenby threw an elbow into nas Reed's face. That's where's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the highlight of a Timberwolves player doing that to Wemby
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: or any other Spurs player. Where's the highlight of Nasried
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: throwing an elbow right into Wemby's chin. It doesn't exist. Okay,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: there's no footage of Anthony Edwards throwing an elbow or
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert throwing an elbow and at landing flush. It
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: hasn't happened. Okay, So this idea that, well, Wemby he's
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: just got to protect himself. If they're gonna do that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to him, he's gonna have to do it back. It's
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: like pause right there. They haven't done that to him.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: No Timberwolves player has thrown an elbow that's connected with
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Wembin Yama or any of the other Spurs players. So
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: it's a stupid premise. It's not an accurate premise for
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: your argument. It's one of those things where again, he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: representing a guilty client. Mitch Johnson is a defense attorney
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: representing a client who's guilty as sin and he's trying
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to go a little misdirection, like, don't focus on this,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: focus on this instead, let's look at this over here.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: That's what he's doing. And my thought is, don't fall
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for it because it's a bad argument. Like fundamentally, physical
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: play on Wemby. Wemby's gonna give some physical playback. That's fair,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that's the playoffs. But no Timberwolf is thrown an elbow
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: in the face of Wemby. So don't tell me it's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: just Wemby returning physical play by hitting nas Red in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: the face with an elbow. It's not. That's something far
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: more than what Minnesota has dished out. Now we get
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to the next part of it, and there's Homer logic. Man,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: there's some Homer logic going on. So shout out to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: my good buddy Nate Brown. So, Nate Brown is a
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sports radio host and he hosts a show in South Dakota.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: And so from time to time Nate will text me
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and be like, hey, man, you got time to come
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on the show today. We went to do a quick interview,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, sure, anytime. And so I was
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on his show on Monday and he told me, he's like, hey, listen,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of Minnesota Timberwolves fans in this
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: area and they think Wembin Yama should be suspended game five.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, look, man, this is the ultimate Homer
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: logic over here. Like we had some Homer logic last
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: night where I think it was Anthony he called in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and he was like, what do you mean, OKC is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a dynasty in the making. The Timberwolves are a dynasty
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in the making. It's like, dude, they've lost in five
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: games back to back years in the conference finals, Like
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: it's basically a gentleman sweep. They've lost. They haven't been
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: greatly challenging in the Western Conference Finals. There's nothing that
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: would lead me to believe this is a dynasty in
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the making. Maybe they win a ring, maybe they win one,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: maybe two, but that's pushing it. There's no way they're
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: going to be a dynasty. But this is Homer thinking.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: If any t Wolves fan is like I think when
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Ben Yama should be suspended for Game five, it's like, look,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: all things being equal, am I supposed to believe if
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards or whoever Rudy Gobert throws ano flush, you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: nails the Spurs player in the face is ejected from
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that game early in the second quarter. Am I supposed
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to believe the Timberwolves fan is going to be like,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you know what, Anthony rich Anthony Edwards should be suspended
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: also for game five. There's no Timberwolves fan on the
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: planet that would make that argument. Okay, So I don't
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: want to hear it from them that they really think
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Wenby should be suspended for game five. That's just homer logic.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: That's just rooting for something and turning it into what
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you honestly think, and it's not. The Homer test is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: very very helpful in life. Okay. What the Homer test
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: is if a favorite player of yours, a favorite team
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of yours is in the news, and you've got an
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: opinion about that player or a team, Okay, to check
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: yourself is to flip the scenario completely, do a one
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: point eighty and see if you feel the same way.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: If you feel the same way, you're being an objective.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: If you feel completely differently, you're being a homer. Okay. So,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: for instance, what I just laid out, Timberwolf fan says, oh,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I think that Wemby should be suspended for game five, okay,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: instead of Wemby throwing an elbow and connecting in Game four.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards did it? Do you think he should be
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: suspended for game five? No, you don't. You're being a homer. Okay,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that's all it is. That's really all it is. And look,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: there was no real chance Wenby was going to be
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: suspended for game five. I can understand. I can understand
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: if the scenario was a bit different. Okay, let's say
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Wemby threw an elbow and connected with nas Reed later
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, Wemby is ejected, the Spurs win
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the game, and they take a three to one series lead.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Could I see the NBA maybe being more more likely
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to say, all right, Wenby is suspended for Game five. Yeah,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: more likely. We probably still don't get to that level
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: because Wemby is a superstar, but I could see that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: being a lot more of a possibility. But the situation
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: being what it was, he got ejected early in the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: second quarter. They're like nine minutes to go, pretty close
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to nine minutes to go in the second quarter, so
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: that's the full second half, most of the second quarters.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: That's a lot of time that he missed in Game four,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and the Spurs lost that game, so with the series
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: being tied to to there was just there's no reasonable
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: way that Wenby was going to be suspended. But it
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was a talking point, like I like what Kendrick Perkins does,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: and Perk was on Sports Center on Sunday. This is
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: what he had to say after the game.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting to see what the league
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: the terms of what they come up with as they
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: continue to investigate situation, because if he's suspended for Game five, man,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: this may change the whole dynamic of this series.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, he's right, if he was suspended in Game five,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that would change the entire dynamic of the series. But
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I just didn't think it was realistic that Wenby was
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: gonna get he was gonna get the double gate, right,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: he just got. He got ejected in the second quarter
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: of Game four, and he's gonna get suspended for the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: full Game five. That just I know, I didn't see
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that at all. I will be honest with you guys,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: because I don't know. I was just hosting the show
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: last night and I just start running my mouth and
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: somehow someway I've said, there's no way this is happening.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: If it does happen. I'm so sure it won't. I
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: will shave my head and I will shave both of
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: my eyebrows off. That's what I said. I don't know
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: why I said those things. It just happened. And any
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: gambler will tell you, any honest gambler will tell you.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: If you bet big, you immediately start thinking about what
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: could go wrong. I don't know what it is with betting.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: It's such a weird thing.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You go into a bet and it's like, let's use
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Game four of the OKC Lakers series. You go into
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Game four and you're like, Okay, I'm gonna bet big
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: on the thunder just to win the game. I don't
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care what I have to lay. I'm gonna
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: lay whatever, a couple of thousand dollars to win a
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: few hundred a few hundred dollars, right, but I'm still
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: gonna come out winning. You know whatever. It happens to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: be like three four hundred dollars based on whatever you bet, right,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just guarantee myself I win four hundred bucks today.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna have to lay a good price, but
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: there's no way the Lakers are winning this game and
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: then I don't know what it is. If you press
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, confirm and the bet goes through,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you immediately start thinking of, well, wait a minute, what
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: if what if Sga gets hurt? What if I don't know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: what if Rui Hachimura just has a night. What if
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Lebron turns back the clock? What what if?
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: What if?
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: What if? What if? What if? You just start thinking
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like that it's so weird. But as soon as I
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: said that with I'll shave my head and both of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: my eyebrows off. If Wenby suspended for game five, it's
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: not happening. I immediately start thinking, oh gosh, what if
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I do have to do that? And I actually, for
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a second I thought I could go into the gym.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I could wear a bandana. I could wear a bandana
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: like a little bit low so you can't tell I
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: have no eyebrows. I could do that for you know,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, until I've got some stubble on
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the eye and I'm like, what am I doing right now?
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I just went from there's no way this is happening
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: to having serious thoughts of what I would do if
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I'm wrong I've been wrong before what if? What if?
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: This is another situation where I'm wrong. So I don't know.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I just found that to be funny. But at any event,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Wenby will be on the floor for Game five. He
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: is not suspended. I don't think he should have been suspended.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: There actually were arguments that went the exact opposite way.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: There were some people out there that were saying he
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: shouldn't have even been ejected for Game four. It's like, dude,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: in today's NBA, you can't just elbow someone in the
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: face and it's all good. And the concept of well,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: if they called the foul on nas Reed, Wemby wouldn't
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: have had to do that. I just can't believe that's
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: anybody's argument. That's a horrible argument. So the precedent is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: I elbowed you in the face, but it's all good
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: because you should have called the foul initially on the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: other guy. What what are we?
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: What are we?
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: How many times in an NBA game is a foul
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: not called? It's a legitimate foul, and it's there's just
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: no whistle, and so it's open season. You just start
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: elbowing people in the noses, the throats, the chins, like
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it's all good. They should have called that fall so
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: have ad it. No, what are we doing right now?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: There's no way that's going to be the NBA going forward.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: That's just a silly argument. But I just wouldn't buy
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: what Mitch Johnson is selling. He's protecting his player, he's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: trying to get the calls, but he's representing a guilty client.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: That's all it is. Wemby did something stupid. He deserved
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to get ejected. I think it's fine that he was
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: not suspended. I don't think he should have been suspended.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: I thought the punishment was good enough. I thought losing
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: him for two and a half games of a game
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: that they went on to lose. I thought that was
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: a decent enough punishment. I don't think it should be
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: more than that. So I'm fine. I think we're good here.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: It's just like, let's get these arguments in a little
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: bit better shape going forward. He shouldn't have been ejected.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: That's crazy that that's just not going to happen in
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: today's NBA. But in any event, looking forward to Game five, pivotal.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Game five, right, got to put pivotal in their series
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: tied to two, we'll be back in San Antonio on
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Tuesday night, Big one, big game, only show in town. Right,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: we don't have another series. The Knicks polished off the Sixers.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They can sit around and wait right now. It's only
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: one NBA game on Tuesday night. But it's a good one,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: very good one. Looking forward to it all right, eight seven,

  Speaker 1: thoughts here. I want to get to a team that finally, finally,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: long overdue, is starting to wise up, just finally showing
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: signs of wisening up and coming up next, I want
• 15:50

• 18:08
  Speaker 7: that song, I was like this. I was like, this
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: sounds like Rihanna, but I didn't know she had these
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: chops because I was just I was blown away by
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: the vocals and yeah it was Rihanna.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, well, very cool. I would go
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: man down myself. My favorite Rihanna song more of like
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: a B side ish song, Yeah, like a major hit.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I love that song. It's a great song, kind of
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: like a reggae feel to it, at least the way
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: she sings it. But I love that song. It's a
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: great song. I think you're the one who showed that
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: song to me. Yeah, I love that song. I think
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it's great. Yeah that was me. I rock man down
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: because you were like, that's I don't think i've heard
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: that one, so yeah, that's yeah, yeah, exactly. It's definitely
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: a B side, but it's it's awesome. It's a great song.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: What am I paying off over here? I have to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I have to watch the Rihanna video. I don't think
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I can watch it. Yeah, don't watch that right now.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not commercial banking. Yeah, there's no coherent sports take
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that I can give, or any non sports take I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: can give. Well, watching this Rihanna video, that sounds like
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: she's spoken hot in this thing. So I will wait.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I will wait on that one. Actually, I'm closing my
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: phone right now. Closed. I ge't that. Nothing's going on
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: over there. Oh okay. So I wanted to say this
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: about Lebron I did mention this at the top of
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the show, but the audience changes over quite a bit,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and so I wanted to bring it back. So it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a great game. Great game on Monday Night where the
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Thunder they survived against the Lakers, Just think about that statement.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: The Thunder who had been crushing the Lakers all regular season,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: all postseason. They won the four regular season games by
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: an average of twenty nine points per game. They had
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: won the first three games by gosh, somewhere around nineteen
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: ish points per game. Somewhere around there. They had covered
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: the spread every single game. Just you know, Boat Ray City.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And then Game four, you're thinking all right, time for
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the sweep, and throughout most of the fourth quarter you'll like,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if OKC is gonna win this game.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: You know, the Lakers, let's go by so Thunder one
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Game one, by eighteen, Game two, by eighteen. Game three
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they won by twenty three, right, so we're in the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: neighborhood of twenty points per game, close to that nineteen
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: twenty points per game they're winning by. They pulled out
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: the Game four clincher by five points, and it was
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: nip and tuck man And at the very end of
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the game, the Lakers had a chance to take a
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: one point lead. They were down by one point. Lebron
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: drove toward the basket, had a good look shot, was challenged.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: He'll tell you should have made it, but he didn't
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: just a little bit off the to the left, clang
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: off the rim, and then ok see they just shot
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: four free throws down the stretch and they ended up
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: winning by five points. I just think this. I think
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: let's start with the positive here. We'll go compliment sandwich.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: All right, Lebron is obviously an all time great. It's amazing.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: A couple of things that stand out. Lebron is as
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: old as both head coaches in this series. That's insanity
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to me. It bears repeating, right. Lebron is forty one
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: years old. JJ Reddick is forty one years old. Mark
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Dagnolt is forty one years old. That's crazy that the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: two head coaches in the series are the same age
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: as Lebron. Now, Lebron is forty one and four months old.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: You know, JJ Reddick is forty one and ten months old,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: So JJ's a little bit older, but not by leaps
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and bounds. Think about how long ago it was that
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: JJ Reddick was an active NBA player. It's been a
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: long time. Mark Dagnolt is forty one years old in
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: two months, so Lebron is you know, he's slightly older
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: than Mark d and JJ Reddick is slightly older than
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Lebron in the same team picture, right, they live on
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the same cul de sac of age, all forty one
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: year old guys, tour head coaches, not even we're close
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to an NBA uniform, you know. And Lebron is still
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: doing his thing and still productive. He played well on
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Monday night, you know. Is that line is pretty good
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: if you look at what Lebron did just statistically, twenty
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: four points eight of eighteen, you know, not not horribly inefficient,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: pretty pretty okay, and twelve rebounds like that at forty
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: one years old, playing forty minutes and putting up those numbers,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you'd take that every single time. So let me start
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: with that. Lebron has played now what, three hundred and
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: two career NBA playoff games. That's more than seventeen NBA franchises.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: That's insane, Like that is just insane. Some of these
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: franchises has been around way longer than Lebron's twenty plus
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: year career, okay, and they haven't had more playoff games
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: than Lebron himself. It's crazy, it really is. And also
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: one of the last positive things I'll say right now
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: before we get to it's the compliment sandwich. Ooh, reality
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: check is coming, baby, Like we got a doozy coming
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: up right here. But with Lebron the injury issues. Think
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: about all the injuries across the NBA. Kevin Durant played
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: one game in the series against the Lakers. It was
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: a six game series. He played one game. Lebron, with
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the same injuries, is not only playing one game. He's
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: playing every game, because that's what he's done his entire
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: playoff career. I saw I can't remember which player. I
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: think it was Asar Thompson with the Pistons. He rolled
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: his ankle slightly. He stayed in the game, but you
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: know he had to work it out a little bit,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: just a slight, slight role. I remember Lebron playing against
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the Bulls years ago in the playoffs. Dereck Rose was
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: still around with the Bulls. Lebron stepped on somebody's foot
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and rolled his ankle so nasty. Just like literally, he
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: steps on a Bulls player's foot and he rolls his
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: ankle so bad. I swear his ankle bone touches the
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: floor as his ankle is just rolling, and I'm like,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this guy is done. No way he
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: didn't miss any time none. It was insane. He hasn't
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: missed a playoff game in his career. Just think of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: the longevity and that alone. Think of the guys that
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: have been banged up in this postseason and last postseason.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: We had all those Achilles tears. Last postseason we had
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Jason Tatum got banged up. Og Ananobi has missed the
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: last two games like the end go on, and Edwards
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: he barely missed any time whatsoever, but hyper extended his knee,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: missed a couple of games in the Nuggets series, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to his credit, he's battling through two knee injuries right
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: now against the Spurs and just scored thirty six points.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: He's productive on top of that. I love Anthony Edwards,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: but to not miss a single game is insanity and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Lebron should absolutely be applauded for that. Now here's the little,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the big criticism within the compliment Sandwich. Okay, Lebron James.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: As ugly as this sounds, and as much as you
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: might want to push back on this immediately, Lebron James
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: is the king of compilers. That is the SEA word
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: that Lebron is. It's not the C word. Which is
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: we all know that he's another sword. He is a compiler.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: He is the Craig Bigo of scorers. That's what Lebron
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: James is. Okay, Lebron James has been around forever and
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: he's a marvel in terms of longevity. But what he's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: been able to do over the course of a long,
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: long NBA career is compile a bunch of points every season.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And look, this is not a hater take this is
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: not to turn a positive into a negative. This is
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: just the reality. Lebron James has never been a dynamic scorer.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: It's like, well, Brian, he's the all time leading scorer,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: how can he not be dynamic. He's not dynamic because
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: he has one scoring title one in his entire NBA career.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Jordan had ten straight. Kevin Durant active players, he's got
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: the most with four, right like the Beard has three,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Luca Steph Curry. These guys have two Apiece, Russell Westbrook two.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Lebron's got one. So although Lebron is the all time
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: leading scorer, he's never been one of the best scorers
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: in NBA history. Never. And look, it's not to crack
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: on Lebron it's just the reality of the situation here.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of people get that twisted. And
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: that's the only reason I'm bringing this up is they'll
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: be like, well, he's scored the most points in the
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: history of the game, Lebron, He's got the right and
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: he's not even known as a scorer. And that's true.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: He's an all around player and that's remarkable. But I'm
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: just saying, don't get it twisted. When you're looking at
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, you're talking about pure scorers, the Iceman,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: George Gerby, like you can go on and on and on.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: There are guys that are better scorers, just pure scorers.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Alan Iverson better pure scorers than Lebron is And that's
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: just the reality of it. So he's done a great
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: job lasting as long as he has. The longevity is
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: off the charts. It's insane. He's been able to compete
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and perform at this level, produce at this level for
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: that long. It's insanity. But don't kid yourself and think
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that he's the best scorer of all time. He's not
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: even close, even though he's the number one scorer due
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: to the longevity that's why it is, and that's the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: definition of compiling. That's why Lebron is a seaword. He
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: is a compiler. And I know that sounds ugly and
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: it sounds like it's this vicious, nasty, haterish take. It's not.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: It's not at all. It's just to say, that's just
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: what it is. And look, I'm not gonna kill him
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: for coming up short on a shot. He had a
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: good look, he missed it. He'd tell you should have
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: made it. But I'm not gonna kill him over that.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it just doesn't go in. It wasn't
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: a choke job, it wasn't anything like that. That could
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: have been Lebron's final career, final shot in a Laker uniform.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That's not his final shot in an NBA uniform. There's
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: just no way. There's no way Lebron, you know, two
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: weeks from now, a month from now, he's like, hey,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: by the way, that was my last game. I'm just,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you know, gonna hang it up. There's nothing about Lebron
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: that's just like I'm just gonna go like peacefully into
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: the night. No, that's not happening with Lebron. He deserves
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: a retirement. Tour. He should get a lot of accolades
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: and recognition. He's earned that, and Lebron loves the limelight,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: you know, Lebron loves the attention. He's not just going
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to go off into the night. He's going to have
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: a grand tour. This is not the end of Lebron
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: in an NBA uniform. I could see it being the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: end of his Laker run, though I could see him
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: being elsewhere next year. We'll see how it plays out.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: All right, let me get to the militia. They want
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: to check in. John is in Maine. Got a Wenby
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: thought for us? What's going on?
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: John?
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Hey?
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: How are you doing this morning?
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Pretty good? John? What's on your mind?
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: The wimby thing.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: They had to eject him for one thing, and I
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: think it was a proper punishment because if they didn't
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: eject him, tempers are flying. The other team's just going
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: to put in like a low ranking person later in
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: the half or the next half, and they could have
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: taken him out. I mean, revenge is a very bad.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Thing, and.
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: He was a marked man after that, so they had
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: to get him off the floor. I don't think they
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: should have suspend or should suspend him because that was
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: his first time getting ejected from a game. He's a
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: he's a good player. He doesn't play dirty. He's just
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: an aggressive player and they got the best of them.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: So get him off, get him the floor before he
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: gets injured by the other team.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, man, I agree with you, John, you should
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: have been ejected, and I appreciate you checking in. Man,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: he should have been ejected. I don't think he should
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: have been suspended if he's you know, flowing throwing an
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: elbow at the very end of the fourth quarter of
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: a game they won. Yeah, he might be suspended for
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Game five. But when it's toward the beginning of the
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: second quarter and he's off the floor for over two
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and a half quarters in a game the Spurs lose,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna get suspended. But I don't understand the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: people that are like, he shouldn't have even been ejected.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: It's like, dude, you can't just elbow somebody in the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: face out of frustration. In today's NBA, They're not going
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: to let you get away with that. Frank is in
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Iowa talking Purple and Gold. What's going on, Frank, You're
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: How's going being out.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 31:38
  Speaker 9: Man's nothing nothing much? You know, the Lakers need to
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: get rid of Laron James, send him back to Cleveland
• 31:45
  Speaker 9: and take his son with him, and JJ Reddick and JJ.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: You don't like jjy.
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: He didn't do nothing on the court.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: He really didn't do that.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: He really never heard of him.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: He never won nothing. Darvin hand won something.
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: He won a championship as a player, and they didn't
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: want to firing him for nothing. And then they need
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: to trade Lron James and take a son with him
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: for Evan, Evan Mosley, Jared Allen and anybody but James
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: Harden because he's a clipper killer, Bill Miller, clipper killer.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Man. I don't know that they're gonna get anybody for Lebron.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get a young player like you know, Evan Mobley.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I know he's got his naysayers, but he's young. He's
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: it seems like he's half the age in basketball years
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: as Lebron. You know, you're not. You're not gonna get
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: anybody big time for Lebron. Lebron's too old. He's still productive.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: He's so he's ancient, you know.
• 32:40
  Speaker 9: Yes, true, yes, true, He's still productive.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: But he's getting up an agent and and then his son,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: his son, his son's got.
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: They need a red shirting because you know, he's got
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: a heart condition. They need a red shirting.
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Well, I think he's okay in terms of that, but uh,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: you know, he's just growing. You know, he's a young
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: young player and trying to get some playing time. It's
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: really hard to grow when you're you know, getting like
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: four minutes or are you getting pop up time. It's
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: hard to grow like that. But hey, man, we'll see.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I'm very curious to see where Lebron ends up. I think, yes,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna go somewhere else.
• 33:14
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, you're waiting, you know, see what they get
• 33:17
  Speaker 9: out of me, see what you get out of them
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: in the deal.

• 33:22
  Speaker 1: appreciate it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: I just it's a weird thing because Lebron's productive, but
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: he's just he's ancient. Why would you trade like a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: draft pick any young asset you're not trading who else
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: has a guy in the league that's productive in around
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: forty one? You like to know what? So I yeah,

• 33:52
  Speaker 1: the end as we can. Also, I have to pay
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: off a team that is finally, finally, way overdue starting
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: to wisen up. I will pay that off and hopefully

• 34:59
  Speaker 1: right here? Lorraine? What's going on in the background? I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: have no idea. It's called In My Darkest Hour? Oh
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: that's Megadeth all day. Yeah, it sounded like Megdeth to me. Yeah,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: you got some love for Dave Mustaine? I know you.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: You have to. You got it. Any any rock slash
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: metal fan has got to have a little bit of
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: love for Dave Mustaine, no doubt. Hey, if you're skilled
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: in manufacturing, skip the online job search nightmare. Express employment
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: professionals connect skilled machinists, welders, and technicians with contract and
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: full time manufacturing jobs. All right, real quick take, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I'll get to the militia here momentarily. Finally, the Milwaukee
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Bucks are starting to wise up. They are open for
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: trade calls and offers for Yannis, only a couple of
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: years overdue. I don't know what they were doing keeping
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: this guy the last season. The handwritings on the wall,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. The Damien Lillard situation didn't work out,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: he got injured. They went with the stretch provision. They
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: just don't have a good enough roster. They don't have
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: anywhere close to a championship contending roster to go around
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Yannis Giannis was banged up quite a bit throughout the year.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: They're lucky he didn't blow his achilles or's something. He's
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: got these calf issues and they're still playing the guy.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: It was insanity. I don't know what they're thinking. They
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: should have traded him well before this past season. He
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: never should have played for the Bucks this whole past year.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: It was ridiculous. It was obnoxious that the only possible
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: path forward for the Bucks is to trade him, go young,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: get a bunch of draft assets, and reset. They don't
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: have draft picks. That's the other thing. I don't know
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: if you know that with the Bucks, they don't have
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: draft picks. So kind of hard to build around Yiannis
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: as he's aging right now. Their roster is nowhere near
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: championship contention, nowhere near. Giannice is still a baller. Steph
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Curry is still a baller. They don't have a supporting
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: cast that's anywhere near competing for a championship around Steph Curry.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: They don't, and Giannis wants to compete for a title,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen in Milwaukee. They should have moved him.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: But listen, I get some of it. Where they had
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: been irrelevant for so long. Giannice has meant so much
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: to that city, to that franchise, and they're just like
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: clinging on. He's like like, no, it's our favorite blankie.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get rid of my favorite blankie.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: And it's like, it's time to move on.
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: It wasn't easy for the Colts to get rid of
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. They did. You gotta you know, like same thing,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: small market franchise. Peyton Manning meant everything to that organization,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: and they're like, yo, we gotta move them. We gotta
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: go young, we gotta reset. And if Andrew Luck stuck around,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: they might have had big success with him. So yeah,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: you gotta go young, you gotta move on, and that's
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: their only possible path forward. And it seems like they're
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: finally starting to wise up to the reality of, yeah,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: we're not going to challenge for championships with the roster
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: being what it is. That's just the reality here. Let
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: me get to I believe Poppy is with us over
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: in San Diego. Poppy, what's going on, Buddy? You're on

• 39:21
  Speaker 4: whatever the spread is on the point, I think you'll

  Speaker 4: go on over. What are you saying, Brian, Oh.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, you like Wemby's over. Let me check it real quick,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and thanks for checking in, Poppy. Always good to hear
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: from you. It's let me see real fast. Wemby is
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: that is probably right in twenty six and a half
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: something like that. He is at goodness, let's see, they
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: got a lot listed over here. Bet mgm, he's at
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: twenty seven and a half for Wemby right there. So
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Poppy likes the over. I I kind of like the
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: under for the game, like Wemby could certainly go over.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Poppy and I could both be right. I kind of
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: like the under. I think it's too eighteen and a half.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know that we're just gonna have offensive fireworks.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: I think it could be a little bit more of
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: a defensive oriented game. So we'll see. Enjoy it Tuesday night,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: enjoy the day on Tuesday. We'll see you
