Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: He we go. Welcome, it's our number wid, our one
- 0:06Speaker 1: of the original Recipe podcast. As we are kicking off
- 0:09Speaker 1: the brand new week here on the Ben Mather Show
- 0:11Speaker 1: on the final day of the month of March. This
- 0:14Speaker 1: is it the swan song. We're not doing another show
- 0:18Speaker 1: past today here in the month of March twenty twenty five.
- 0:22Speaker 1: The final four is set. You've got Auburn, Florida duke
- 0:26Speaker 1: in Houston. We have all number one seeds in the
- 0:29Speaker 1: final four. Is this a positive or a negative? Also
- 0:34Speaker 1: in terms of popularity, how do you rank the final
- 0:37Speaker 1: four teams? We'll get to that. Thumbs up or thumbs down?
- 0:41Speaker 1: Should you be allowed to brag and take a bow
- 0:45Speaker 1: if you had all four number one seeds left in
- 0:48Speaker 1: your final four bracket? We will discuss that and more
- 0:52Speaker 1: right now here. It is our number one cutting down
- 1:00Speaker 1: the nets. As I've always said, making the final four
- 1:05Speaker 1: is what matters. I remember a couple years ago when
- 1:07Speaker 1: the Clippers made the final four. How impressive that was.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another week of the Benmahlor Show.

- 2:00Speaker 1: I love he listened to the Fifth Hour podcast over
- 2:02Speaker 1: the weekend ten thousand times, and we thank him for that,
- 2:05Speaker 1: just kept listening over and over. He downloaded from different
- 2:07Speaker 1: devices and listened to it. We're thankful for that. So
- 2:10Speaker 1: I lead this hour, Play the hits ball Man, play
- 2:13Speaker 1: the Hits. I lead This hour is from the Elite eight,
- 2:16Speaker 1: as we had a pair of games. The final two
- 2:18Speaker 1: spots in the Final four were handed out on Sunday.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Sunday Sunday, the Road to San Antonio. And I don't
- 2:29Speaker 1: know if you were watching any of this. Maybe we
- 2:30Speaker 1: were out doing stuff for watching baseball or something else.
- 2:34Speaker 1: Perhaps you missed it, but don't worry. It is our
- 2:36Speaker 1: good mitsch of the day we watched so you would
- 2:38Speaker 1: not have to l J Crier. There's no cry. There's
- 2:43Speaker 1: no crying. But he had seventeen points of manuals sharp
- 2:47Speaker 1: also coming up big, massive performance in the second half,
- 2:51Speaker 1: fourteen of his sixteen there in Houston, riding their way
- 2:56Speaker 1: behind their defense into the Final four, the number one
- 3:02Speaker 1: they take down number two seed Tennessee. I didn't have
- 3:06Speaker 1: to watch this game to know that Tennessee did not
- 3:08Speaker 1: do well because are certain Tennessee volunteer apologiest who may
- 3:13Speaker 1: or may not now be living in Miami. The former
- 3:16Speaker 1: caller known as Danny in Nashville normally sends out a
- 3:19Speaker 1: lot of Tennessee propaganda. For some reason, there was no
- 3:23Speaker 1: Tennessee propaganda in this game, as that was man pu
- 3:29Speaker 1: What stinks but the seventh trip to the Final four
- 3:34Speaker 1: for Houston and they were the very top defensive team
- 3:38Speaker 1: in the country, and what an embarrassment for the volunteers.
- 3:42Speaker 1: My god, that fifteen points fifteen points at halftime. Okay,
- 3:49Speaker 1: that's like a youth basketball type situation is with that
- 3:52Speaker 1: is fifteen points. You're the number two seed and you
- 3:56Speaker 1: had fifteen points at halftime. In fact, that's the fewest
- 4:00Speaker 1: in any Elite Eight game since nineteen seventy nine, and
- 4:05Speaker 1: it was the lowest first half for a number two
- 4:08Speaker 1: seed since that same year in nineteen seventy nine. So
- 4:12Speaker 1: that was bad. Now earlier that was earlier on they
- 4:16Speaker 1: that game was pretty bad. And then later on you
- 4:21Speaker 1: had another game which wasn't wasn't all that competitive as
- 4:25Speaker 1: Joe and I Broom getting it done there for Auburn
- 4:29Speaker 1: as he had twenty five points, there was an injury
- 4:32Speaker 1: scare he left for a little bit. Twenty five points,
- 4:34Speaker 1: fourteen rebounds. Auburn able to dominate this game, seventeen unanswered points.
- 4:40Speaker 1: They essentially won the game in the first half. They
- 4:42Speaker 1: had to play the rest of the game, and for
- 4:44Speaker 1: the most part, Michigan State was kept at arm's length year.
- 4:47Speaker 1: But seventeen unanswered points for the Auburn Tigers and they
- 4:52Speaker 1: beat Michigan State seventy to sixty four the final. So
- 4:57Speaker 1: if you like those number one O seeds, man, this
- 5:01Speaker 1: is your dream come true. In the final four. The
- 5:03Speaker 1: higher seeded teams went twelve and oh in the regional
- 5:08Speaker 1: semi finals. If that seems pretty wild. That seems pretty crazy.
- 5:13Speaker 1: It's the first time since the tournament expanded back in
- 5:16Speaker 1: nineteen eighty five that this has ever happened. And so
- 5:20Speaker 1: Auburn is joined by Florida, Duke and Houston. All the
- 5:25Speaker 1: top seeds have advanced, and let us discuss the question
- 5:30Speaker 1: for the esteem panel. So we have all number one
- 5:34Speaker 1: seeds in the final four. Is this a positive or
- 5:38Speaker 1: is this a negative? Situation? So I've got common denominator,
- 5:45Speaker 1: hemoglobin and peacock, and we will combine all of these
- 5:50Speaker 1: things together. And we were going to make a televangelist
- 5:53Speaker 1: on TV. For some reason one of the TVs. I
- 5:55Speaker 1: don't know who's into televangelism, but one of the people
- 5:59Speaker 1: I come in here there's a tell evangelist on the
- 6:01Speaker 1: TV right in front of me. Yeah, that's wild Man,
- 6:04Speaker 1: all right. I guess somebody's really going for it. All right. Anyway, See,
- 6:08Speaker 1: is it a positive or a negative? So I am
- 6:12Speaker 1: in team positive. I'm on the side of positivity. I'm
- 6:16Speaker 1: Benny Brightside on having all four number one seeds into
- 6:20Speaker 1: the final four. These teams, unless I'm mistaken, backed up
- 6:25Speaker 1: the fact that the selection committee and all the nerd
- 6:28Speaker 1: stats and everything was accurate that these were the four
- 6:32Speaker 1: most deserving teams of getting there. They were the top
- 6:35Speaker 1: seeds during the college basketball season. They earned that right.
- 6:38Speaker 1: And so the Gators, the Blue Devils, the Cougars, the
- 6:41Speaker 1: Cougars are coming. The Cougars are coming, and the Tigers
- 6:45Speaker 1: validating what they did during the regular season. And before
- 6:49Speaker 1: there was panic at the disco about other things in
- 6:53Speaker 1: college basketball. Now it's all about Nil name, image and
- 6:56Speaker 1: likeness and all that. And I would advise you to
- 6:59Speaker 1: just take take a breath. I just take a deep breath,
- 7:03Speaker 1: breathe in right. This is the first time that Nil's
- 7:07Speaker 1: been around for a few years. This is the first
- 7:09Speaker 1: time that all the top seeds have reached the final
- 7:13Speaker 1: four since way back in twenty oh eight, and there
- 7:17Speaker 1: was no Nil in twenty oh eight. The only other
- 7:21Speaker 1: time that all the number one seeds got to the
- 7:23Speaker 1: final four was back then in eight. They've been doing
- 7:26Speaker 1: this this type of tournament since nineteen seventy nine. The
- 7:31Speaker 1: common denominator in all this is the Alamo Dome, the venue,
- 7:38Speaker 1: because in twenty oh eight the final four, which at
- 7:41Speaker 1: that year had Kansas, you had Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA,
- 7:47Speaker 1: and that was held at the Alamo Dome. That's the
- 7:51Speaker 1: common denominator there in San Antonio. And that true solid
- 7:55Speaker 1: but not spectacular ratings. As I recall, the ratings were fine,
- 7:59Speaker 1: they were not amazing. Now page two, in terms of popularity,
- 8:06Speaker 1: how would you rank the teams that we will see
- 8:10Speaker 1: here next weekend in San Antonio in the final four.
- 8:14Speaker 1: So now this is not a list. This is a
- 8:17Speaker 1: big board, which is not a list. It's Big Bend's
- 8:20Speaker 1: big board in terms of the halves and have nots.
- 8:23Speaker 1: So they're all halves, they are all number one seeds
- 8:25Speaker 1: and all that stuff. This is a Chalky Mickchalk Final four,
- 8:31Speaker 1: Chalky Mickchalk final fource and we know that going in.
- 8:33Speaker 1: But you look at the hemoglobin and so it's really
- 8:37Speaker 1: one against three and here's how I break it down.
- 8:40Speaker 1: So it's all about the blue bloods. It's all about
- 8:44Speaker 1: the blue bloods. And there is a difference now the
- 8:46Speaker 1: term chalk. If you're not familiar, so well, hear the
- 8:49Speaker 1: term chalk, but I don't really know what it means.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Was it mean? Explain what it means. I'll explain what
- 8:52Speaker 1: it means. So the term chalk, I think we use
- 8:54Speaker 1: this on the Fifth Hour podcast months and months ago.
- 8:57Speaker 1: But the term schalk is a well known term for
- 9:00Speaker 1: the team that is favored. It's a dated term. It
- 9:03Speaker 1: goes back to the days when horse racing dominated the
- 9:06Speaker 1: landscape in America, and a team that's the favorite now
- 9:11Speaker 1: is called the chalk and they're expected to win. And
- 9:13Speaker 1: the origin dates back to when people really loved horse
- 9:16Speaker 1: racing and they didn't have digital screens and computers and
- 9:20Speaker 1: all that stuff. Those things didn't exist, and so the
- 9:23Speaker 1: book maker, as in that long forgotten era, the bookmaker
- 9:28Speaker 1: would actually have these chalkboards like you're in class in
- 9:32Speaker 1: elementary school, and they'd display the odds for each horse.
- 9:35Speaker 1: And if you've ever been to the track and bet
- 9:37Speaker 1: the ponies, you know that the odds shift, especially depending
- 9:44Speaker 1: on the favorites and the amount of money and what
- 9:47Speaker 1: the action is from the betters. And so what would
- 9:51Speaker 1: end up happening with the chalk the bookies would erase
- 9:55Speaker 1: the end and then if to rewrite the odds with chalk,
- 9:59Speaker 1: because it was a chalk leaving the favorite smudge, your
- 10:04Speaker 1: little smudge there, and all that stuff covered in chalk
- 10:06Speaker 1: dust because of all the many updates throughout the day
- 10:09Speaker 1: before the race happens. But in terms of the blue bloods,
- 10:14Speaker 1: there is a creepy pasta party of one situation going
- 10:19Speaker 1: on here. It is really just the Blue Devils. That's it, right,
- 10:22Speaker 1: that's it, the Blue Devils. They're the only blue blood
- 10:26Speaker 1: even though it's all chalk. They stand head and shoulders above.
- 10:30Speaker 1: You know, Duke is the one that meets the criteria
- 10:34Speaker 1: here program that you think about, what is it blue blood? Well,
- 10:38Speaker 1: you've you're considered top of the class in your industry,
- 10:43Speaker 1: in your sport, and you've done it for a long time.
- 10:46Speaker 1: You've got a storied history of success. You have a
- 10:50Speaker 1: lot of people that hate your guts. That's Duke. Does
- 10:53Speaker 1: anyone really hate Auburn basketball or Houston basketball or even
- 10:57Speaker 1: Florida Gator basketball? Nah, not really, but Duke. There are
- 11:02Speaker 1: many people that will watch just to see Duke lose.
- 11:06Speaker 1: And that means you have reached a higher air if
- 11:09Speaker 1: you will. Here. And you've had iconic coaches, well they
- 11:13Speaker 1: had one coach k that lasted for like eighty years
- 11:17Speaker 1: that Duke, it seemed, and he was there forever. And
- 11:20Speaker 1: there are a lot of players that you wanted to
- 11:21Speaker 1: punch like that podcaster JJ Reddick, and you go through
- 11:26Speaker 1: the history of the school, have been many that many
- 11:29Speaker 1: of them flopped in the NBA, but they were legit
- 11:32Speaker 1: college players at the time, and you have an annoying
- 11:37Speaker 1: fan base, you also would like to punch them. So
- 11:41Speaker 1: Duke meets all of that. Duke gets all that critter.
- 11:44Speaker 1: So they're the only blue blood. Florida has had some success.
- 11:48Speaker 1: They under Billy Donovan, they won a couple of championships
- 11:52Speaker 1: and so they had their little run of success back
- 11:54Speaker 1: in the day, but not consistently sustained success. And Houston
- 11:59Speaker 1: with Akeem Elijah On back in the day for a
- 12:03Speaker 1: couple of years they were amazing, but for the most part, eh,
- 12:08Speaker 1: not so much. And Auburn in the round mound of
- 12:12Speaker 1: rebound Charles Barkley days a long time ago in a
- 12:15Speaker 1: land far far away. Also pretty good, not pretty good,
- 12:19Speaker 1: but not most of the time. They're in the middle.
- 12:23Speaker 1: It's kind of in the middle. That's the way it is.
- 12:25Speaker 1: And so you got one blue blood and then you
- 12:26Speaker 1: got three others kind of standing out to the side.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Now the last word here. So we are heading to
- 12:33Speaker 1: the final three games of the college basketball season, reaching
- 12:39Speaker 1: the crescendo which is Saturday, and then the Monday night
- 12:43Speaker 1: the championship game. So we are at the point now
- 12:46Speaker 1: where you start to re examine everything. So question thumbs
- 12:50Speaker 1: up or thumbs down? Should you be allowed to take
- 12:54Speaker 1: a bow? If you had all four number one in
- 13:01Speaker 1: the final four bracket, If your bracket is alive and
- 13:06Speaker 1: well and you have all four number one seeds, thumbs
- 13:09Speaker 1: up or thumbs down, shouldn't you be allowed to take
- 13:12Speaker 1: a bow? Right? That is the question? What is the answer?
- 13:17Speaker 1: And so I'm actually gonna go on this one. I
- 13:19Speaker 1: am gonna go thumbs up on this. Okay, I'm gonna
- 13:22Speaker 1: go thumbs up on this. And here's why. I think
- 13:25Speaker 1: you should be able to streut around like a peacock
- 13:28Speaker 1: with your feathers out and all that. And the reason
- 13:31Speaker 1: why is because you stood your ground. Okay, you stood
- 13:35Speaker 1: your ground and while others likely tried to sway you.
- 13:39Speaker 1: And we've talked about this in the past. There's there's
- 13:41Speaker 1: pick shaming when it comes to filling out your bracket.
- 13:44Speaker 1: You've gotta pick some small school nobody you has got
- 13:49Speaker 1: Leeble likes to call it. You've got to pick some
- 13:51Speaker 1: crap school to get far in the tournament. If you don't,
- 13:56Speaker 1: you're a bad person. And if you pick all chalks
- 13:59Speaker 1: donnoy anything you do, you have no idea, and yet
- 14:02Speaker 1: here we are. It actually takes more guts to pick
- 14:07Speaker 1: all the top seeds than you would think, right, so
- 14:10Speaker 1: you can strut around like a peacock. Humans are hardwired
- 14:14Speaker 1: to go with groupthink, right. We saw that back during
- 14:17Speaker 1: the pandemic. A lot of bad advice from people in power,
- 14:20Speaker 1: but a lot of people just follow along because it
- 14:22Speaker 1: was groupthink. You know, you're supposed to just follow along
- 14:25Speaker 1: and not not push back against the machine. But the
- 14:28Speaker 1: people that picked all number one seeds did not bend
- 14:32Speaker 1: to peer pressure. Right, They did not bend to peer pressure,
- 14:35Speaker 1: and so good and studies show oftentimes people in any
- 14:39Speaker 1: group will take the advice of others, and they will
- 14:44Speaker 1: do things even when they know it's wrong, because they
- 14:49Speaker 1: don't want to resist. They don't want to resist the
- 14:52Speaker 1: popular opinion and all that stuff, and so they want
- 14:54Speaker 1: to be part of that. But if you take the favorites,
- 14:57Speaker 1: which is what if you have four teams left in
- 14:59Speaker 1: your bracket, you've taken all the favorites. If you take
- 15:02Speaker 1: the favorites, you are mocked, you are ridiculed, the what
- 15:04Speaker 1: are you doing? But the odds on having a perfect
- 15:10Speaker 1: bracket picking. The top seeds in the tournament are minischool.
- 15:14Speaker 1: In fact, since nineteen seventy nine, all four favorites that
- 15:19Speaker 1: meeting the number one seeds in the tournament have made
- 15:21Speaker 1: the final four four point three percent of the time,
- 15:24Speaker 1: which is actually just two times two times. That's it.
- 15:28Speaker 1: And what are we looking at here? Going back to
- 15:30Speaker 1: seventy nine, so that's forty six years of data and
- 15:34Speaker 1: it's only happened twice. All right, It is the Ben
- 15:37Speaker 1: Mahlor Show. If you want to comment on any of this,
- 15:41Speaker 1: you are more of the welcome and there's plenty of
- 15:43Speaker 1: other things going on if you're not into the whole
- 15:45Speaker 1: college basketball scene. It is a big week for NFL
- 15:49Speaker 1: drama o rama. Boardroom style will actually resort styles. The
- 15:54Speaker 1: NFL owners get together at a swankie resort in Florida,
- 15:58Speaker 1: the Billionaires Boys Club, and they will all go over
- 16:01Speaker 1: the rules of the game while they're eating their five
- 16:04Speaker 1: star ham and egg breakfast, and they'll just be having
- 16:08Speaker 1: a field day there for the next couple of days. Anyway,
- 16:11Speaker 1: if you want to be part eight seven seven ninety
- 16:13Speaker 1: nine on Fox, that's eight seven seven nine nine six

- 19:01Speaker 1: photo of the cow. It looked like a nice cow.
- 19:03Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of would you be upset
- 19:05Speaker 3: if it was a female cow.

- 19:30Speaker 1: f Coach k and the douche Blue Devils. The only
- 19:35Speaker 1: year people console me was. The only time they consoled
- 19:38Speaker 1: me was when Zion had his injury. By the way,

- 20:04Speaker 1: I'm fat or not. He hasn't seen me in years.
- 20:06Speaker 1: He's so busy licking the toes of all the Dodger players.
- 20:10Speaker 1: I can't imagine he hasn't seen the light of day,
- 20:13Speaker 1: and so long he's heads up there Tukis's. Vassay is
- 20:16Speaker 1: such a houseman for the Dodgers. It's embarrassing. And listen,
- 20:20Speaker 1: I don't see Vassay. The Dodgers don't want me out
- 20:22Speaker 1: there because I actually criticize the team, even though I've
- 20:24Speaker 1: been called the houseman, and so I'm not allowed out there.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Clearly that must be part of the reason. Otherwise, I
- 20:30Speaker 1: a lot of those media guys have have been welcome back,
- 20:33Speaker 1: but I'm not. I mean, I've been critical, and so
- 20:36Speaker 1: I don't see Vassay. I guess I need to suck
- 20:38Speaker 1: up to the players more so I get access like
- 20:40Speaker 1: Vassay does. But you'd have to ask him. Uh. And
- 20:43Speaker 1: Adrian the pokey pokey pokey guy right since says, hey, Ben,
- 20:47Speaker 1: it's my birthday and he says, can you or do
- 20:51Speaker 1: Kemi Mutamba wish me a happy birthday? No, we are
- 20:54Speaker 1: not a morning Zoos show. Trust me. Every time I
- 20:56Speaker 1: get paid, I am reminded we are doing an overnight show.
- 20:58Speaker 1: We are not show, So we don't give shout outs
- 21:02Speaker 1: to people. Just cannot do it. Cannot do it. Shane
- 21:06Speaker 1: and the Mory says, can we get a wellness check
- 21:08Speaker 1: on Andy the comic book guy? He went a wall
- 21:11Speaker 1: after the octagon loss, destroyed by sports with Coleman and
- 21:18Speaker 1: I don't know what happened to Andy the comic book guy.
- 21:21Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I've not heard from him. I think
- 21:23Speaker 1: he's working the day shift. Andy was a huge fan
- 21:26Speaker 1: of the show. He's probably so embarrassed by another Bills
- 21:28Speaker 1: let down. He has no idea how to handle that,
- 21:30Speaker 1: and he just moved on. But I don't know. I
- 21:34Speaker 1: liked his calls to the show and I really enjoyed
- 21:37Speaker 1: and when he gave a shoulder rub to a certain
- 21:40Speaker 1: wide receiver, mister Diggs there with the Buffalo Bills and
- 21:44Speaker 1: everything we said was actually correct. Now Justin in Cincinnati
- 21:47Speaker 1: says the Yankees are using aluminum bats. We will have

- 21:54Speaker 1: Do Batman, I will do a bat monologue coming up
- 21:57Speaker 1: later on Jason in Kansas City Rights. He says, Oh,
- 22:02Speaker 1: that's what the Yankees bats sounded like against the Brewers.
- 22:04Speaker 1: He says ten out of ten on the opening mall
- 22:06Speaker 1: of monologue. Ben Duke is the most compelling team left
- 22:10Speaker 1: in the tournament. Also, they eliminated Alabama and their nerd
- 22:16Speaker 1: in induced coaching philosophy. Shooting threes didn't work for them,

- 26:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, see, you're making the story up now. You
- 26:46Speaker 1: just got caughty dog. That was a day game. I
- 26:48Speaker 1: remember early, you know, living on the West Coast, that
- 26:51Speaker 1: was an early game. It's not a night game on no,
- 26:54Speaker 1: I know that. But you weren't having dinner. It was
- 26:56Speaker 1: in the afternoon. It was in the morning in on
- 26:58Speaker 1: the West Coast, which is like early afternoon.
- 27:01Speaker 4: I don't know.

- 27:33Speaker 1: Me, I think they're going to make the final four
- 27:35Speaker 1: this year. That's a bold statement. He dog, all right,
- 27:38Speaker 1: thank you, go away. There's a dog, you know.
- 27:41Speaker 2: Ben.
- 27:41Speaker 3: Back in the day, they used to call dinner like
- 27:44Speaker 3: that in between and supper was what they'd call dinner.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Now you know what I'm saying. So instead of breakfast,
- 27:48Speaker 3: lunch and dinner, it was breakfast, dinner, and supper.
- 27:50Speaker 1: Well, regionally still people call it supper. Depends on where
- 27:53Speaker 1: you are. Oh, Like, sandwiches are called sandwiches, but some
- 27:57Speaker 1: places they're called hogis. Some people playle call them he
- 28:01Speaker 1: pens soda pop. Yeah, it depends. It's still there's still
- 28:05Speaker 1: bubbles and talked about the language, but the language has
- 28:08Speaker 1: over the last like twenty five years, the language has
- 28:10Speaker 1: pretty much gone more towards the neutral because of the
- 28:13Speaker 1: Internet and things like that. So you don't see as
- 28:16Speaker 1: many people you go to like Boston, there's not as
- 28:18Speaker 1: many people that have that that thick Boston accent, like
- 28:23Speaker 1: Wayne in Southey, when he called the show. And even
- 28:26Speaker 1: in New York, it's not as many New Yorkers that
- 28:29Speaker 1: have the thick he guess along Island, there's a lot
- 28:32Speaker 1: of people that still do. But it's not it's not
- 28:34Speaker 1: like it once was, like in the day. Well, one
- 28:37Speaker 1: man's trash is another man's treasure. So let's go back
- 28:40Speaker 1: in the hot tough time machine to twenty twenty one.
- 28:44Speaker 1: You n l V and De Paul were looking for
- 28:47Speaker 1: head coaches of their men's college basketball teams. Both of
- 28:51Speaker 1: them interviewed a guy named John Shier to be the
- 28:55Speaker 1: head coach for the Running Rebels and the Blue Devils
- 28:59Speaker 1: there and he interviewed for both and neither one wanted
- 29:05Speaker 1: to hire John Schier as the coach. A couple months later,
- 29:09Speaker 1: coach K said that's it, I'm done, I'm retiring. And
- 29:14Speaker 1: now John Shier has gone to the Final Four as
- 29:19Speaker 1: the replacement for coach K Mike Krzyzewski. And he wasn't
- 29:24Speaker 1: good enough to get the Unov job or the DePaul job,
- 29:28Speaker 1: couldn't get hired there. And now at Duke granted, you
- 29:32Speaker 1: have a few more goodies to play with when you're
- 29:34Speaker 1: coaching the Duke Blue devils. But here we are in
- 29:37Speaker 1: position to get to a championship, two wins away from
- 29:42Speaker 1: winning a national championship. Now the delusions of the portal.
- 29:46Speaker 1: There are many delusions of the portal. The latest example
- 29:50Speaker 1: there is a seven foot two sophomore center named will Berg.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Probably don't know who that is. He played for Purdue.
- 30:00Speaker 1: I say that in air quotes. I heard that will
- 30:03Speaker 1: Berg played for Purdue. Well, will Berg has entered the
- 30:06Speaker 1: transfer portal. His agency he's got an agency. Of course
- 30:12Speaker 1: you do when you're will Berg and you're seven foot
- 30:15Speaker 1: two and you went to Purdue. So he's got an
- 30:17Speaker 1: agency that announced that he is entering the portal. He's
- 30:21Speaker 1: a native of Sweden. We are told he played twenty
- 30:24Speaker 1: two games for the boiler Makers this year. He started
- 30:27Speaker 1: three of those games and averaged one point eight points
- 30:33Speaker 1: per game and played right around six minutes per game,
- 30:38Speaker 1: and he is now entering the portal trying to get
- 30:40Speaker 1: that money. How much is that worth? If I average
- 30:44Speaker 1: less than two points a game and I play less
- 30:47Speaker 1: than six minutes per game, or right around six minutes
- 30:50Speaker 1: per game, what is that worth? On the open mark?
- 30:53Speaker 1: Can I get a couple of boxes of cheesy bread.
- 30:56Speaker 1: Can I what do I get for that? Do I
- 30:58Speaker 1: get a sandwich? Do I get a pie?
- 31:01Speaker 4: Like?
- 31:01Speaker 1: How much does that worth? Is he gonna get a check?
- 31:04Speaker 1: He's seven foot two, he can't apparently play all that much.
- 31:08Speaker 1: But man, some of these websites that keep track of
- 31:11Speaker 1: the portal, then you gotta keep clicking refresh, refresh, refresh,
- 31:16Speaker 1: and y is not really not really my thing all right?
- 31:20Speaker 1: Time Now for the who am I? Game? This is
- 31:23Speaker 1: where I pretend to be somebody else. Now, if you
