- 2:28Speaker 1: up to the follow up to the follow up to
- 2:31Speaker 1: the follow up The Big Story There the King James
- 2:34Speaker 1: World Order, The King James World Order. We understand the
- 2:38Speaker 1: contract has been signed while we were away the Friday
- 2:42Speaker 1: News Dump the decision two point zero. That decision is in.
- 2:47Speaker 1: So Lebron decided to go play for the sixers and
- 2:53Speaker 1: uh wows, there's all kinds of wild reaction to Lebron
- 2:56Speaker 1: James going there. The wildest reaction I saw was, well,
- 3:02Speaker 1: there were a couple of things that said out. One
- 3:03Speaker 1: of them was from a former work friend, former work
- 3:07Speaker 1: friend of Lebron colleague.
- 3:09Speaker 2: If you didn't hear what he had to say, that be.
- 3:11Speaker 1: Patrick Beverly, the blue guy who bounced around, most known
- 3:16Speaker 1: as a Clipper, although he did have the greatest championship
- 3:19Speaker 1: celebration when the Timberwolves won the championship, the play in championship,
- 3:24Speaker 1: and he was crying and emotional. It was what a
- 3:27Speaker 1: night it was, What an amazing that it was. Anyway,
- 3:30Speaker 1: so Lebron James former teammate, Patrick Beverly told every man,
- 3:34Speaker 1: woman and child that the seventy six Ers are the
- 3:37Speaker 1: most dominant team ever after adding Lebron James. The most
- 3:43Speaker 1: dominant team ever after adding Lebron James. So that is
- 3:46Speaker 1: a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question
- 3:49Speaker 1: do you agree? Do you agree the seventy six ers
- 3:52Speaker 1: now with this addition Jalen Brown, You've got Lebron. You
- 3:58Speaker 1: had to throw on top of that, Joel Embiid when
- 4:01Speaker 1: he plays one out of every ten games. Most dominant
- 4:05Speaker 1: team ever, according to Patrick Beverly, do you approve of
- 4:10Speaker 1: Lebron picking Philadelphia and the idea that this.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Is the most dominant team we have seen.
- 4:17Speaker 1: So I've got spacesuit, Elon Musk and Maine Lapster, and
- 4:22Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we
- 4:27Speaker 1: are going to play Connect three.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Is what We're going to play a little Connect three here.
- 4:30Speaker 1: So number one, now, there is a chance that Patrick
- 4:34Speaker 1: Beverly is right. It's called the fat chance, fat chance
- 4:37Speaker 1: to Patrick Beverly is right. Beverly sounds like he's been
- 4:40Speaker 1: enjoying some Colombian bambam if you know what I mean
- 4:43Speaker 1: with that kind of statement. Now, either way, I don't mind.
- 4:48Speaker 1: I got some messages. You should be upset, mal You
- 4:50Speaker 1: shoid he was going to Cleveland.
- 4:52Speaker 2: You got it wrong. You should he was going to Cleveland. Yes,
- 4:55Speaker 2: that was my he should have gone to Cleveland.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I believe he'll play long enough to go back to
- 4:59Speaker 1: Cleveland and complete the circle, and he'll end up with Cleveland.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Just means he's gonna play a couple more years. That's it.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I'm not upset, though. It doesn't matter. I got a
- 5:08Speaker 1: daily talk show to do.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I try to point this out. Some of you are
- 5:11Speaker 2: so stupid.
- 5:12Speaker 1: You don't understand that it's good for what I do
- 5:15Speaker 1: to casuals. Scrolling a tablet looking at a depth chart,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, Lebron James, you get your pants
- 5:23Speaker 1: around your ankles. You're so excited. Lebron, Joel Embi, Jaylen
- 5:26Speaker 1: Brown Super Team. It's not, it's not. Lebron James took
- 5:32Speaker 1: the wrong off ramp and ended up in a city
- 5:36Speaker 1: that is most famous for throwing de cl energizer batteries
- 5:41Speaker 1: at people like JD. Drew and others over the years.
- 5:45Speaker 1: It is the NBA's edition of the Science Fair. You know,
- 5:50Speaker 1: the Radio Shack used to sell these chemistry sets back
- 5:53Speaker 1: into this store called Radio Shack, and someone just handed
- 5:57Speaker 1: King James the mentos and diet Coke. You ever done
- 6:01Speaker 1: that with the die coke and the mint. That's fun, right,
- 6:03Speaker 1: it's cool. You're like, wow, look at that.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Oh, it's in the air everywhere. Wow, unbelievable. I can't
- 6:07Speaker 2: believe that it's called science. So Lebron didn't just join
- 6:11Speaker 2: the Sixers. He's gonna be there.
- 6:13Speaker 1: He acquired them emotionally. That's always the rub on Lebron.
- 6:17Speaker 1: When things turn upside down and they will turn upside down.
- 6:21Speaker 1: And Joel Embiid is driving the mister Softy truck around
- 6:25Speaker 1: the Delaware Valley and Jalen Brown turns out, miss miss
- 6:31Speaker 1: is what he had in Boston.
- 6:33Speaker 2: This is what he had there.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Lebron's trying to run another franchise from the locker room.
- 6:38Speaker 1: That's when the rubber meets the road. And that's what
- 6:41Speaker 1: I'm here for. I'm here for that every franchise becomes
- 6:44Speaker 1: Planet Lebron.
- 6:46Speaker 2: It's all about planet Lebron.
- 6:48Speaker 1: However, Philadelphia already has its own solar system. There rage
- 6:56Speaker 1: suspicion and cheese steaks and tasty cakes as well. They've
- 7:00Speaker 1: got that. Where are the think pieces? Are we going
- 7:03Speaker 1: to get a think piece? That Lebron's bad father? He
- 7:05Speaker 1: had his son as a workmate in la Lebron turned
- 7:10Speaker 1: his back on his child to go across the country.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Is that a good father? Is the we're gonna get
- 7:16Speaker 1: that think piece column? That that thing on the blog
- 7:19Speaker 1: somewhere le blog is fear? How could Lebron leave Bronnie?
- 7:25Speaker 1: How fast? I'm shocked that Bronnie Stephen still on the Lakers.
- 7:28Speaker 1: How did that happen? They shouldn't have gotten rid of
- 7:29Speaker 1: him by now the weekend is now over. You got
- 7:32Speaker 1: to get rid of BRONNI send him to Philadelphia and
- 7:36Speaker 1: then in return we'll get back. Well, we'll get some
- 7:40Speaker 1: a box of tasty cakes. Possibly we'll get we'll get something.
- 7:44Speaker 1: We'll figure out the trade. We'll work it out there.
- 7:46Speaker 1: So I hope Lebron when he gets to Philadelphia buys
- 7:50Speaker 1: a space suit. Now why would Lebron need a spacesuit
- 7:54Speaker 1: in Philadelphia Because that atmosphere melts, melts you, and he's
- 8:00Speaker 1: never experienced that. Now, I know he's gonna have the
- 8:02Speaker 1: usual media fatten boys that'll follow him around. They're looking
- 8:05Speaker 1: at real estate in Philadelphia. How can I get.
- 8:07Speaker 2: A home there? I've gonna live in Philadelphia, just.
- 8:10Speaker 1: Like I lived in Cleveland, Miami and La following Lebron
- 8:13Speaker 1: around the country.
- 8:14Speaker 2: But this is much different.
- 8:16Speaker 1: Than La, La Land and Cleveland and Miami. And that
- 8:22Speaker 1: is where Hope goes Philadelphia, where Hope goes to get
- 8:25Speaker 1: booed boom, That's where it goes to get booted Philadelphia.
- 8:31Speaker 1: So good luck on that. Lebron's never had to deal
- 8:34Speaker 1: with that as his home city Miami. If the team's good,
- 8:38Speaker 1: they'll support it. If it's bad, they'll go out in
- 8:41Speaker 1: yacht somewhere and have a great time in la as
- 8:44Speaker 1: they get upset, and they're entitled in the historians and
- 8:48Speaker 1: all that. They never embraced Lebron though he's always just
- 8:52Speaker 1: passing through. He was never going to be Kobe Bryant
- 8:55Speaker 1: or anywhere close to that. And Cleveland was different because
- 8:59Speaker 1: that's Akron obviously is not exactly Cleveland, but it's close,
- 9:02Speaker 1: the closest team, and so there was a kinship that
- 9:05Speaker 1: happened there, and he got ugly when he left. They
- 9:08Speaker 1: were burning stuff and freaking out and losing their mind
- 9:11Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And then but in Philadelphia, the
- 9:14Speaker 1: outrage machine. It runs twenty four to seven. It runs
- 9:19Speaker 1: twenty four to seven, and the first losing streak for
- 9:23Speaker 1: the Sixers is going to be treated like a meteor strike.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Lebron ordered the media or strike? How could he do that?
- 9:29Speaker 1: He's just meteors. They're just floating out. Well, Lebron ordered it, Well,
- 9:32Speaker 1: how do you order it? Why do you want a
- 9:33Speaker 1: team move or something? We can't order that on team move?
- 9:35Speaker 1: Why Amazon? Well you can't do it on Amazon either,
- 9:37Speaker 1: But Lebron did it all right? Now, pitched to him.
- 9:40Speaker 1: So reports say that Lebron James his camp reached out
- 9:46Speaker 1: early on to the New York Knicks, the Knickerbockers, and
- 9:50Speaker 1: so they were like, hey, Lebron, you know the Knicks,
- 9:54Speaker 1: they're interested.
- 9:56Speaker 2: Are they interested? Let's check.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Why don't we check with the Knicks and we'll see
- 9:59Speaker 1: if they're interested. Now, obviously he signed with Philadelphia. The
- 10:02Speaker 1: story was he did reach out his people, his intermediaries
- 10:05Speaker 1: reached out to New York who declined declined to pursue
- 10:13Speaker 1: the opportunity to bring Lebron to the reigning champions of
- 10:16Speaker 1: Pro bouncy Ball. According to the story, the Knicks rejected
- 10:19Speaker 1: the idea because they already won. They won the championship
- 10:24Speaker 1: and they didn't want to get rid of one of
- 10:26Speaker 1: the key players on the team or have to deal
- 10:28Speaker 1: with the internal palace intrigue of what Lebron would mean
- 10:33Speaker 1: to the Knickerbockers and disrupt the thing that they have
- 10:37Speaker 1: in New York.
- 10:38Speaker 2: And so that's it.
- 10:40Speaker 1: Now, let's assume, for the purposes of this malled monologue
- 10:43Speaker 1: that that is accurate. The question, did the Knicks make
- 10:47Speaker 1: the right call by not even engaging and passing on
- 10:52Speaker 1: Lebron James. So my answer is not Pepperoni. It's Yepparoni
- 10:59Speaker 1: one d percent yes, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep,
- 11:02Speaker 1: yep yep by Bronnie.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Now, why would you invite a one man traveling circus
- 11:09Speaker 1: into the locker room when you just proved you can
- 11:13Speaker 1: get over the top of the mountain to the top
- 11:16Speaker 1: and beyond it without Lebron.
- 11:20Speaker 2: If I'm trying to think, how can I discriver it?
- 11:22Speaker 1: So Lebron is like a dice in cordless vacuum. You
- 11:26Speaker 1: plug him in and he'll suck up every single ounce
- 11:30Speaker 1: of oxygen in the franchise. It just it just happened.
- 11:34Speaker 1: And every press conference, every lineup decision, a trade rumor
- 11:39Speaker 1: instantly gets filtered through the prism of the Lebron industrial complex.
- 11:46Speaker 1: That's what happens. You know it, and I know it.
- 11:48Speaker 1: Every everything Suddenly the spotlight is all about that, from
- 11:54Speaker 1: the logo, from the uniform choices, everything he goes from
- 11:59Speaker 1: the the front of the uniform to the back of
- 12:02Speaker 1: the uniform, the name plate on the back of the uniform,
- 12:05Speaker 1: and that's just how it goes. Now, the real reason
- 12:08Speaker 1: I'm happy the Knicks did not engage. Here is cause
- 12:10Speaker 1: years ago, when the New York Knicks begged, begged, Lebron, please, Lebron,
- 12:17Speaker 1: we even hired Tony Soprano to come in here, the Sopranos,
- 12:21Speaker 1: to help get you to come play for the Knicks.
- 12:24Speaker 1: We made a cheeseball video that was back when that
- 12:26Speaker 1: show was popular on HBO, and Lebron never gave them
- 12:31Speaker 1: a second glance. He wanted nothing to do with the Knicks,
- 12:36Speaker 1: nothing at all to do. So now that Jalen Brunson
- 12:40Speaker 1: has become the savior, the messiah of the New York
- 12:43Speaker 1: Knickerbockers and they won, now they're supposed to roll out
- 12:47Speaker 1: the red carpet for Lebron James. It's kind of like
- 12:50Speaker 1: when you were trying to date a hot woman, right
- 12:52Speaker 1: and she wants nothing to It's like Elon Musks tried
- 12:55Speaker 1: to date a hot woman when he had no money
- 12:56Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and then the woman wouldn't give
- 13:00Speaker 1: him the time of day. And then all of a
- 13:01Speaker 1: sudden he comes up with Tesla and all this other crap,
- 13:04Speaker 1: and he's worth a lot of money.
- 13:05Speaker 2: And now that woman's like, well, yeah, let's go out.
- 13:08Speaker 2: I have a nice meal.
- 13:10Speaker 1: Well, no, you had your shot, you had your chance,
- 13:12Speaker 1: you blew it. We're good, We're good.
- 13:15Speaker 2: Now. It isn't twenty thirteen. It's not.
- 13:19Speaker 1: And King James isn't the sun anymore for the Knicks.
- 13:23Speaker 1: He's a flickering porch light at this point, and he's
- 13:26Speaker 1: bouncing around as a journeyman player. Jordan played for the
- 13:30Speaker 1: Wizards at the end. He didn't play for four teams
- 13:33Speaker 1: or five teams. He played for two, and would have
- 13:36Speaker 1: played for one if there hadn't been that whole gambling
- 13:39Speaker 1: thing and Jerry Reinsdorf and all that stuff here. But
- 13:42Speaker 1: the Knicks did not pass on Lebron. That's not how
- 13:45Speaker 1: this went down. They avoided becoming background extras in the
- 13:50Speaker 1: latest Lebron documentary. All right, now, final point. Now, this
- 13:54Speaker 1: is where we put on our tinfoil cap so al
- 13:56Speaker 1: ferg Dog malarprop guy. Make sure you have your tinfoil
- 13:59Speaker 1: caps on. Make sure you have those on. So the
- 14:02Speaker 1: Heat are not handling Lebron's rejection very well, they're not.
- 14:08Speaker 1: The snub is not going over well in Southward. And
- 14:11Speaker 1: what is my evidence on that? My evidence on that
- 14:14Speaker 1: is that the sixers of all teams Philadelphia in the
- 14:18Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, Northeastern cold Weather team and it gets Chile
- 14:23Speaker 1: and philadelphiature in the winter if you know that it does.
- 14:25Speaker 1: And Lebron picked that over South Florida picked that over
- 14:30Speaker 1: South Florida. So that is a pie on the face situation.
- 14:34Speaker 1: So my evidence on how this is not going well
- 14:37Speaker 1: it appears, and is it true that one of pat
- 14:42Speaker 1: Riley's Miami media toast sucking buddies is questioning whether there
- 14:48Speaker 1: is more behind the scenes, behind the scenes foul play
- 14:54Speaker 1: involving the recruitment of Lebron James to the Delaware Valley
- 14:58Speaker 1: or go a guy named Michael Rubin. Who the hell
- 15:02Speaker 1: is Michael Rubin. He's a bit owner, a minority owner
- 15:08Speaker 1: of the Sixers, and he influenced is believed influenced Lebron
- 15:15Speaker 1: to go to Philly. Now, Rubin has a unusually buddy
- 15:21Speaker 1: buddy relationship with a number of superstar athletes. He's also
- 15:25Speaker 1: being credited with convincing Lebron James to go into professional
- 15:28Speaker 1: or not Lebron Tom Brady to go into professional wrestling,
- 15:33Speaker 1: as Brady's preparing to do that and fighting one of
- 15:36Speaker 1: those annoying Paul Kits YouTube punks. He's gonna get into
- 15:41Speaker 1: that with Michael Rubin, supposedly if you if you believe
- 15:44Speaker 1: the gossip about this, there are questions on whether his
- 15:49Speaker 1: influence extended behind beyond the typical relationship you get. So
- 15:55Speaker 1: the question is there something suspicious? Is there something spacious
- 16:00Speaker 1: about the Sixers minority owner Michael Rubin and his relationship.
- 16:06Speaker 2: With Lebron James.
- 16:09Speaker 1: So, taking a step back and analyzing from left to
- 16:13Speaker 1: right the story here, Yeah, pat Riley hasn't been this mad.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Pat Riley has not been this mad since someone hit
- 16:22Speaker 1: his hair jail when he was working for the Lakers
- 16:25Speaker 1: back in the day. I was like nineteen eighty seven.
- 16:27Speaker 1: This somebody hit his hair jail. He was very upset
- 16:28Speaker 1: by that. And the fingerprints are everywhere everywhere on this.
- 16:34Speaker 1: So Michael Rubin, who is a bit owner of the Sixers,
- 16:38Speaker 1: he's more known as the CEO of Fanatics, the company
- 16:44Speaker 1: that's got a choke hold on making sure to price
- 16:47Speaker 1: gouge fans and all the big sports overpriced, poorly made
- 16:51Speaker 1: products in the air everywhere there a low quality fan
- 16:55Speaker 1: merch that you pay top dollar for. He's the guy
- 16:58Speaker 1: behind that, and he spent the weekend before Lebron chose
- 17:01Speaker 1: to go to Philadelphia. He spent the weekend in New
- 17:04Speaker 1: York with Lebron, whining and dining, whining and dining Lebron
- 17:10Speaker 1: at the Fanatics Fest, where you can have the honor
- 17:14Speaker 1: paying nine hundred dollars to have a photo taken with
- 17:16Speaker 1: Jalen Bronson, or you can just get on AI and
- 17:19Speaker 1: have it made for about free. Probably I'll probably do
- 17:23Speaker 1: it right now. So anyway, that's the story. Technically, here's
- 17:26Speaker 1: the problem. So on a technicality, we went and looked
- 17:30Speaker 1: back at the review on this, so the Booth review.
- 17:34Speaker 1: Technically this is kosher. But you know what that means.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Michael Rubin's operating was profoundly swampy, very swampy by Michael Rubin,
- 17:46Speaker 1: and you've got the billionaire sting operation straight out of
- 17:51Speaker 1: Tricky Dicky. President Richard Nixon's playbook from back.
- 17:55Speaker 2: In the day.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Here and Ruben would call it hospitality with intent, little
- 18:00Speaker 1: hospitality with intent. However, Lebron, he wasn't really recruited something
- 18:06Speaker 1: very white right would describe it. He was courted like
- 18:09Speaker 1: the head of state. Now, the ugly truth is, we
- 18:13Speaker 1: all know this. The ugly truth is that everyone is
- 18:17Speaker 1: in bed with everyone else in the NBA, in those circles,
- 18:21Speaker 1: and all the sports leagues. It's the robber barons league wide,
- 18:26Speaker 1: all of them, from the Heat to the Calves to
- 18:29Speaker 1: the Warriors. They were all buttering Lebron like a main
- 18:33Speaker 1: lobster role, just buttering up his biscuits, and Ruben was
- 18:38Speaker 1: just more charming, bewitching Michael Rubin and now Riley pat
- 18:43Speaker 1: Riley and his pals in Miami are beaten and broken.
- 18:47Speaker 1: They're devastated here, they're annoyed, and they think there was
- 18:51Speaker 1: some suspicious activity going on here. However, how do you
- 18:55Speaker 1: think this plays out? I would be stunned if there's
- 18:58Speaker 1: anything that comes out of this. The main reason not
- 19:00Speaker 1: that I don't think there might have been something that
- 19:02Speaker 1: wasn't exactly right that took place here that you could say,
- 19:06Speaker 1: wait a minute, that's not right, that's that's punishable.
- 19:10Speaker 2: The reason I'm skeptical.
- 19:12Speaker 1: Is the NBA is so busy cashing the fanatics checks
- 19:18Speaker 1: from all the overpriced merch that they're selling there, the
- 19:21Speaker 1: poorly made, overpriced merch that they're peddling.
- 19:24Speaker 2: They don't want to upset Michael Rubin, so they're Oh,
- 19:27Speaker 2: that's fine, that's okay.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Let's get people to spend another sixty bucks on a
- 19:32Speaker 1: hat that's got the logo off center or the jersey
- 19:35Speaker 1: with the wrong the wrong number or name plate on it.
- 19:39Speaker 2: That seems like a good idea. Why not? It is
- 19:42Speaker 2: the Ben Mahlor Show.
- 19:44Speaker 1: If you would like to be part, there is a
- 19:47Speaker 1: line open first time so far tonight? Fill that up
- 19:50Speaker 1: right now? Why do I have a line open? Eight

- 28:20Speaker 3: Hit ninety five. Check out the family in Jersey. You
- 28:22Speaker 3: got family in Philly. They're excited right now, they're excited
- 28:25Speaker 3: about what's happening with Lebron. But I gotta get out
- 28:27Speaker 3: and spread my wings, you know, maybe get out there
- 28:30Speaker 3: and tick that road for about to visit you, you know,
- 28:32Speaker 3: on the other coast, on the left coast. That's uh.
- 28:35Speaker 3: You know the plans that I have now been speaking
- 28:37Speaker 3: of driving this situation with Kyle Shanahan, it doesn't ed
- 28:41Speaker 3: up right. The math, The math is not mathing for
- 28:43Speaker 3: me for for a number of reasons, and you've alluded
- 28:46Speaker 3: to a number of them. Uh, serious accident and major injury.
- 28:49Speaker 3: I mean, I know Kyle Shannon a tough guy. He's
- 28:50Speaker 3: a football coach, I mean the coach. He's not out there,
- 28:53Speaker 3: you know, you know, getting banged up, you know, with
- 28:55Speaker 3: the linebackers and the full bat but he's the coach.
- 28:57Speaker 3: He's used to the physicality. But some significant that we
- 29:00Speaker 3: don't have any photo footage. But beyond that then okay,
- 29:04Speaker 3: a week plus and there's not a murmur. Now, listen,
- 29:08Speaker 3: we have to stay divided, ash you mean united. We
- 29:11Speaker 3: gotta say we gotta stay together. Okay, and I'm not
- 29:14Speaker 3: trying to be divisive here, but I do have to say.
- 29:18Speaker 3: If we put Kyle Shanahan's name out for Mike Tomlins
- 29:21Speaker 3: and there's a similar accident, I don't know if it's
- 29:25Speaker 3: radio silence. I don't know if mum's the word. I
- 29:28Speaker 3: don't know if everybody's on pins and needles over here.
- 29:31Speaker 3: What is this like the situation in Kentucky again with
- 29:34Speaker 3: Mitch O'Connell, where we have no idea what's happening with
- 29:38Speaker 3: a sitting United States senator and everybody nobody sees anything
- 29:41Speaker 3: and there's no update whatsoever. Now let's come back over
- 29:44Speaker 3: to the world of sports, were gonna leave politics. But
- 29:46Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan getting a serious dague. I mean, and we
- 29:50Speaker 3: just get well, you know, he checked himself in, checked
- 29:52Speaker 3: himself out, but he's got major injuries. I don't like
- 29:54Speaker 3: the sound of it. And beyond I want Kyle Shanahan
- 29:57Speaker 3: to be okay. But if this is others origin and
- 30:00Speaker 3: all these type of stories are going on, who has
- 30:02Speaker 3: a job, who doesn't have to have a job, all
- 30:05Speaker 3: this type of stuff going up, just tell this. That's
- 30:07Speaker 3: what makes me.
- 30:08Speaker 2: Even Well, we're gonna we're gonna find out some more today.
- 30:11Speaker 1: Some of the places you can get information like their
- 30:14Speaker 1: their clothes on the weekend. So that's one of the
- 30:16Speaker 1: reasons we think they announced the Niners this on a Saturday,
- 30:19Speaker 1: because you couldn't get some of this stuff you can
- 30:21Speaker 1: get on a Monday. So we'll see if anything else
- 30:24Speaker 1: comes out on this and TMZ and the usual suspects,
- 30:27Speaker 1: if they put some other it's got to me there's
- 30:29Speaker 1: gotta be something else. I don't believe that we're we're
- 30:32Speaker 1: getting the good stuff, and we'll see if there is
- 30:36Speaker 1: something there. If there is something there, will come out
- 30:37Speaker 1: like who'd he getting? Was he at fault?
- 30:39Speaker 2: In the accident, what caused it and all that that.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Whole thing so all right, will come out visitors sometimes
- 30:46Speaker 1: the great Andre from the Commonwealth and its dog Wellis
- 30:51Speaker 1: did a nice love song.
- 30:52Speaker 2: For Lorraina there at the Mallard paloosers. I gave it
- 30:54Speaker 2: a t out of ten.
- 30:55Speaker 1: I know you did again, Yes, absolutely right, boy Drew?
- 31:00Speaker 1: Who had the Mallor heifer? The Mallor heifer from Cowboy Drew?
- 31:05Speaker 2: Is that still around, Cowboy Drew?
- 31:07Speaker 1: I thought you sent that to the butcher shop anyway,
- 31:10Speaker 1: says I think Lebron not touch my cow. Okay, that's
- 31:13Speaker 1: my heifer, Cowo Drew says, I wish Lebron would go away.
- 31:17Speaker 1: Hearing about him is as bad as hearing about Travis
- 31:20Speaker 1: Kelcey and Taylor Swift.
- 31:24Speaker 2: Buckle up, buckle Roo.
- 31:26Speaker 1: Late Night drug Testers says Famous Philly treats for Bronnie
- 31:30Speaker 1: seems like way too high of a price to pay.
- 31:34Speaker 2: Fair enough, fair enough? What else do we have to see?
- 31:37Speaker 1: Page and Jayscoop says, I thought one of the things
- 31:41Speaker 1: that Lebron wanted to make sure was that he was
- 31:44Speaker 1: the first or second option on his team. But at
- 31:48Speaker 1: Philly wouldn't he be number three. Let's see what you did,
- 31:57Speaker 1: your little rascal.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Jay Scoop, how dare you?
- 31:59Speaker 1: Michael? And Tulsa says, I'm not a Philly hater, but
- 32:03Speaker 1: I can't wait for the vitriol with every single loss
- 32:07Speaker 1: the seventy sixers.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Are going to have with Lebron.
- 32:09Speaker 1: I might get out popcorn for every game, most of
- 32:12Speaker 1: which will likely be on national TV, just to see
- 32:15Speaker 1: the crowd and maybe the riots.
- 32:17Speaker 2: I don't be no riot.
- 32:18Speaker 1: I was talking to a couple of my radio buddies
- 32:20Speaker 1: over the weekend. We were texting, and we both agree
- 32:24Speaker 1: it's a shame that Lebron didn't do this when Philly
- 32:27Speaker 1: sports radio was in its heyday with guys like Howard
- 32:30Speaker 1: Eskin and Angelo Cataldi, the great Philadelphia legends of sports radio.
- 32:35Speaker 1: It's not quite the same. There's a lot of guys
- 32:37Speaker 1: doing it then. They don't have the edge. They don't
- 32:39Speaker 1: have the edge that those guys had back in the
- 32:42Speaker 1: day doing sports talk radio.
- 32:44Speaker 2: So it's not going.
- 32:45Speaker 1: To be quite as nasty, quite as nasty as it
- 32:49Speaker 1: would have been. Lemn'll get his he'll get his crapola,
- 32:53Speaker 1: for sure, he'll get he'll get fed some nonsense and
- 32:58Speaker 1: that's it. Michael Leppergun says, Oh, Nory Mack is leaving.
- 33:01Speaker 1: She was so nice to meet when I visited. Yeah,
- 33:05Speaker 1: she told us she's leaving because of you. Actually, is
- 33:07Speaker 1: that true? I might be making that up.
- 33:09Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, she doesn't like working with me
- 33:10Speaker 2: like any other female.
- 33:11Speaker 1: No, no, no, I met Mike the Leprecun. She's leaving
- 33:13Speaker 1: because of Michael Eleperkun. She met was retroactive. She met
- 33:16Speaker 1: Michael Leprecaun and then decided I better wait a year
- 33:19Speaker 1: and then leave a year and a half.
- 33:20Speaker 2: Then I'll get out of here. Right. Yeah, yeah, maybe
- 33:23Speaker 2: makes sense. It's plausible. No, I'm being pregnant though, thank you.
- 33:27Speaker 2: I'm being pragmatic about the situation.
- 33:29Speaker 1: So you should be upset with if you're disappointed, because
- 33:32Speaker 1: you might have to do some extra work because Mary's
- 33:34Speaker 1: not gonna be with the company anymore. Be upset with
- 33:36Speaker 1: Mike the Leprecaun, Lorena, because indirectly he's responsible.
- 33:40Speaker 2: Another reason, Yeah, another reason. Add it to the big board,
- 33:45Speaker 2: the big old board. Yep, the big board. Well, this
- 33:48Speaker 2: is not good if you're a Golden State Warrior fan.
- 33:50Speaker 1: Steph Curry, seemingly accepting his fate in life, that the
- 33:55Speaker 1: upcoming NBA season will be a waste, it will be
- 33:59Speaker 1: a gap year for the Golden State Warriors.
- 34:01Speaker 2: When they were.
- 34:02Speaker 1: Rejected by Lebron James say what, uh yeah, the Warriors
- 34:08Speaker 1: put all their chips in there, and Curry spoke about
- 34:11Speaker 1: the possible return of Moses Moody and Jimmy Butler to
- 34:16Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors.
- 34:18Speaker 2: I said, oh, you hope they can come back and
- 34:20Speaker 2: all that and blah blah blah blah blah, and.
- 34:22Speaker 1: I'm hopeful for all the creative ideas of getting the
- 34:25Speaker 1: best possible team, the best team possible. Curry said, we
- 34:30Speaker 1: had those conversations, but when you have the injuries at
- 34:35Speaker 1: the top like that, it's always gonna change.
- 34:37Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah.
- 34:38Speaker 1: But the tone of Curry's comments were essentially, Hey, we're
- 34:44Speaker 1: gonna suck, and if we don't suck, we're gonna blow.
- 34:47Speaker 1: And that's just he was thirty eight. Can you really
- 34:49Speaker 1: have a gap year?
- 34:50Speaker 3: Though?
- 34:50Speaker 1: When you're thirty eight, how many more years is Curry
- 34:53Speaker 1: going to play? You know what I'm saying, You can't
- 34:55Speaker 1: really have a gap You can have a gap year
- 34:57Speaker 1: when you're twenty five or twenty eight, you can have
- 35:00Speaker 1: again when you're thirty.
- 35:01Speaker 2: Eight, not so much, all right?
