  Speaker 3: So our lead this hour is from March Madness. Oh
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: but I can't believe you're starting with College Patch by
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the shocking. Yeah, what do you think I was gonna
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: talk about? Yeah, so we'll get into it right away.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: The upset always takes the lead here, and we came
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: this close to having the Duke Blue Devil radio roast.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We'll get to them in a minute. They ended up
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: winning the game, so that that ruined the fund. You
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: know they had lost, Oh my god, would have been amazing,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: It would.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Have been so great. They didn't so that sucks. So
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: we move on from that.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: And there were a couple of upsets throughout the first
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: day of the opening round.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Of the tournament.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: The upset that caught my attention because I watched it
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm of the age where I recall the glory
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: days of Carolina basketball. But the Carolina Blue that's the
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: game that I circled here and if you were watching that.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: There's a million games going on and every TV window.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: But Terrence Hill Junior, who I don't know, but he's
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: the hero today. Terrence Hill Junior made a step back
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: dagger three pointer with fifteen seconds left in overtime and
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: VCU the eleven c The reason this is session amazing
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: story is they were down nineteen points in the second
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: half and they made that all.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Go away and the stunner from down under not quite
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, number six seed, No.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: No naa goodbye. Yeah, they're out first round of the
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: tournament yet again. And this guy, Terrence Hill Junior, finished
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: with a bunch of three points in the set, three points.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: It was seven of ten from three point range, twenty
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: of his thirty four after halftime. So VCU, who's got
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a nice record, and know one of these teams that
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: didn't play anybody. They're all saying, hey, well, these big
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: schools don't want to play us, and they win their
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: first tournament game in a decade. So this was a
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: bracket buster for many that were a couple of bracketbusters.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: The better story, though, for Talk Radio is in the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: losing locker room and North Carolina up nineteen points and
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Henry Vasser, who's also projected to be a first round pick,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a late first round pick.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: He had twenty six the tar Hills ten rebounds.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: But North Carolina they lost Caleb Wilson, who's projected as
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: a top five, top.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Ten pick in the NBA draft. He got out. He
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: was ruled out with injury late in the season.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: There and North Carolina played three games without Wilson and loss, loss, loss.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: So let us discuss that's a good jumping up point.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Let us discuss the question.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Does North Carolina, an iconic basketball program, get a mulligan
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: because they played without their star player Caleb Wilson.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And so it's okay to lose in overtime to VCU.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: So I've got former teammate Carnival Cruise Line and Casey Caseum.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Three things that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Have never ever been put together. And we are gonna
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: soak them.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: In a bag, is what we're going to do.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Now, hey speaking in the bag North Carolina. In the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: bag as the body bag they.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Go down the Tar Hills. Now, my take here is
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: gonna surprise you. All right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: They absolutely do not get a mulligan. There's no Malard mulligan.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no no no no.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: No, no no no. It's not how this works. That
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: is not how any of this works. But they're just
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: student athletes. Those guys are all making more than I am.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: I'm a middle aged man. I've been in radio thirty years.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: They're making more money than I am. All right, so
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: shut up with that. This is North Carolina. This is
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: blue blood behemoth, the Cathedral of college basketball, the Dean Dome,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: all that crap. And it's like, come on, as our
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: former teammate Doug Gottlieb who quit the coach in Green Bay,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: actually he kept the job for a while then quitt.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: This is not nobody you. There's no moral victories here.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: The report card, the Malord report card reads d n
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: MS did not meet standard. Did not meet standard. That
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: is what the report card reads. Now ask for Kayla
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Wilson injury. Listen, it sucks. It's the atomic elbow. Ye,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: it's rotten exit. That's why they play the games. You
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: gotta pick it up.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: You know, you lose a guy here and there.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I was, well, you're so good, blah blah blah. But
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this is the big boy pay to play nil era
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of basketball.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: The portal.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: All these guys are free agents every year. And it's
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: not shirts and skins at the YMCA on a Saturday morning.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: So do your job, next man up. Not nobody step up,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: which is what happened here. Instead they folded.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: It's one thing. If they were trailing the entire game
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: and it was close, in a nineteen point lead.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: In college basketball, that's like a thirty eight point lead
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: compared to the NBA nineteen points. No excuses, no exemptions,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: no emotional escape hatch, only the portal and simply.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Stated, again, not good enough. Do better, be better.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Although this team will never play again because they'll together,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: there'll be a different group of players and then people will.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: Freak out about that.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: The following you now on turning the page on CBS
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: or was it true TV?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I just kept flipping my right hand was getting a workout.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know what channels I was watching. I think
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: it was some of it was CBS.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I couldn't tell you if you if
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you offered me a million dollars, I wouldn't know. It's
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: one of the channels of the games was on.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I was flipping around, so I think it was CBS,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: but it might have been True TV.
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So they were trying to explain how the Tar Hills
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: gagged and Bruce Pearl, this guy entered the chat, so
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: let me frame the question this way. So Bruce Pearl
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: claimed that fatigue was a factor as to why North
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Carolina lost the VCU in overtime.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Is this acceptable or are we just lowering the bar
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: yet again?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So again was Pearl who coached a long time and
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: so long when he first started, not one of his first,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: one of the early jobs when he was in Milwaukee,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: we had him on I was going to show with
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Looney on the weekends and we used to once in
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a while chat to Bruce Pearl. And he went on
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to coach at some big schools, had some success and
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: all that and a lot of scandals which is now
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: just commerce in college sports. So is what Bruce Pearl
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: claimed fatigue? Is this acceptable or are we just lowering
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the bar again?
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So this is march madness, I think.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I mean every two minutes they're telling us it's march madness,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: and they're showing.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: His cheerleaders, and they're showing his people with their faces
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: painted and the kids crying.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And yeah, this is not a carnival cruise line limbo contest,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: although it appears to be based on that commentary.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: How low can you go? How low can you go?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Do the limbo to the limbo when it comes to.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Excuses and as far as fatigue, and again I go
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: back to my main point, your big bad North Carolina.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Who do you think you are? You're not Anthony richardson
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: the Colts.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You don't get to tap out because you don't feel good,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: because your legs are like over cook spaghetti.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: You don't get to tap out.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I don't buy it. They weren't tired, they were toast stop.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: They just didn't play well. They sucked at a time
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: you cannot suck. And if they were tired, and even
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: if they weren't, really this is just a referendum on
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the coach, right, Hubert Davis. Is he on the hot
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: seat at North Carolina? Is there some booster that wants
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: to get rid of Hubert Davis? Or is he going
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to survive this? Is he running a country club? Because
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: if they weren't in shape, that's on the coaching staff
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: to get the players in shape. They got to and
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: the training staff there basic cardio, get them a treadmill
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: or something like that. And how about halftime adjustments? What
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: are they doing at halftime? Did Hubert Davis pass out
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: scoops of cookie dough ice cream and then the boys
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: could have some caprice sons at halftime?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I mean, what are they doing? Seriously? You're up night
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: in nineteen and the second half and what do I know?
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I just do the Overnight Show. I've been around basketball
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: a long time. Was out at you know, interview guests a.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Long time ago, old school basketball guys, and the line
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I always got from these guys, I learned a lot.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: The first I learned the most from his dad. Unfortunately,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Bill Fitch, you know, you can look him up. Who's
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the He was a coach of the Celtics and the Clippers.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I was around him with the Clippers, and he he
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: gave me all these little these little fun factoids about
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: basketball life and all that is essentially said that every
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: game if both teams, both teams play hard. My man, No,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: he didn't say that both if teams play well they're
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: fundamentally sound, every game should be decided in the final
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: like five minutes.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: That was in the NBA.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: But also, if you have a big lead, if you
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: build up a big lead and you just play fundamentally
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: sound basketball that you play defense, you rebound, you box out,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: all that stuff, that you're gonna win, there's no way
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to come back.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And yet they blow a nineteen point lead.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: So Davis, I believe he's eight and four now in
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: the tournament, which is fine.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: They did make a final four. There's only been there
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: a few years. They made the final four.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: It's not elite, it's okay. It's just okay for Hubert Davis.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And it's dressed up in that iconic Carolina blue. The
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: thing that is going to sting. And this is why
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: you have to put Hubert Davis on the watch list.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: At least is North Carolina has now lost in the
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: round of sixty four, which is really the first round.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Nobody counts those games in Dayton.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: So the round of because no one's watching them, the
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: round of sixty four in consecutive tournaments for the first
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: time since nineteen eighty five. Ronald Reagan was in the
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: White House in nineteen eighty five. That was before the
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Berlin Wall came tumbling down. And Wowser's all right now,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: last word here, So going up to thirty thousand feet,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it's time now for the sampler plate.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: What else? Here's the question?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: What else stood out on day number one DOUBLEA tournament?
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: So I jotted down on my notes app on my phone.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I don't have a note pat. I I'm very technical,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: tech savvy, tech savvy, and I have a notes app
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: on my phone. I jot down a little notes when
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: I'm watching. So I jotted down not cornballs. I jotted
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: down corn Huskers. As Nebraska wins the game, the curse
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: is dead, pigs are flying.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: It's amazing.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they weren't just a basketball program, Nebraska.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: They were a mathematical anomaly. Now.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize this going into the tournament. You
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: just don't really think about Nebraska as a basketball school,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: and you really haven't thought about him as a football
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: school in many, many years.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: That used to be really good at football, but this
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: is wild.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: So a Power five team with a postseason resume of
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: a JV basketball squad as Nebraska becomes the last Power
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: five school to win a March Madness game. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Feel good for ned in Nebraska and all my guys
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: in Nebraska. They are fans of the show. Some of
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: you don't even care about Nebraska corner.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: It's just basketball.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Then I saw this quote, which I thought was fake.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's legit. You never know anymore. Double checked it,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: and to the best of my ability, I believe this
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: would be a legitimate quote. A guard for Nebraska, Braden Fragger,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: I believe is his name, he dropped the wackadoodle quote
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: that sounded so ridiculous you thought, well, this must be
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: one of those parody satire accounts, or it came from
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a fortune cookie that was written by someone who's never
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: seen a basketball game in college. The quote was we
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: didn't come to win one, we came to win two.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Was the quote.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately, you have to warn more than that to
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: get to the final four and all that. I felt
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: like this was a tribute to the late great Casey
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: case DJ, famous DJ from back in the day.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: the middle.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: It's not exactly how the quote goes, but nonetheless, now
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: the big one, the big Cahouna here was Duke, the Duke,
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Blue Devils, Cameron Boozer and the Blue Devils avoiding, avoiding ridicule,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: avoiding disaster and the massive march madness upset as they
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: took on Number sixteen Siena. And even though they won
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the game, Duke didn't come back and win the game.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: They had a late charge to win this game. Duke
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: became the first ever number one to trail by double
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: digits at halftime against the number sixteen.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: C Coach k is turning over his grave right now,
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: what happened? What are we doing here?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: That's kind of like owning a yacht, a really expensive
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: luxury a yacht, and then almost drowning in a bathtub,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: like seriously, so history says they're dead. By the way,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: teams that have played as poorly as Dupe did, even
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: though they won, they usually do not end up doing
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: much in the tournament. And then you have the Star
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: of Stars in the day one of the tournament, a
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: player that will be playing for some crappy NBA team
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: down the Winnemucker Road next season, questioning why am I
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: playing in Sacramento?
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I don't understand. Shouldn't I be somewhere else? Why am
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I in Utah? Why am I in Washington?
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: We're talking about BYU star aj Dibanza, who became the
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: first freshman to score thirty or more points in the
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: round of sixty four since Steph Curry. I don't know
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: what happened to him. I think he's still insurance right now.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Right he's just a TV pitchman.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Steph Curry.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: That was seventeen years ago. Oh my god, what were
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: you doing? Seventeen years ago? I was doing this. I
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: was talking about Steph Curry seventeen years ago. I said, Oh,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I think that got'll be okay in the NBA out
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: of Davidson. Well, anyway, the Corugar's lost, so they're out,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: and de Bonzo will now run off to the NBA
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to make more money. He's already making a lot at BYU.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Then you had Little high Point, which sounds like a
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: fake school. Doesn't that sound like a fake school? High Point?
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Little high Point from North Carolina took down the Badgers
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: of Wisconsin. So they're out, get out of here, and
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: now everyone's under the spell.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Of high point.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I can go my whole rant here if you want
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: to do it every year about the tournament and how
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: upside down it is and all you people that rant
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and rave.

• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Let's say hello to Big Daddy.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: Big Daddy is up first in Memphis, Tennessee. Hello, big Daddy, welcome.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Oh I think we've lost Big Daddy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: No, I think yeah, I think we might be having
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: a issue. You're having your phone what is that? So
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: the gremlins got into the phone? Is that well? I
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: mean when I press the button to put them on
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: the air. Yeah, it didn't work. Nothing, nothing happened. Does
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: that mean we have to hang up on everyone? I
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: don't know. I'm gonna try and it should be a
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: quick thing.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna try and troubleshoot this without hanging
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: up on anybody.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: All right, standby? Yeah, yeah, are technical difficulties stand by.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: In the meantime, we have a fun fact. You want
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: a fun fact, of course, you fun fact well through
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: twenty NC Double A Tournament games if you just blindly
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: bet the underdog against the spread. Now, no one should
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: ever bet on these games unless you should. If you
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: just blindly bet on underdogs. So far in the tournament,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: you would be six games above five hundred underdogs. That
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: teams that closed as dogs are thirteen and seven. We
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: are told against the spread straight up, where you can
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: make some decent money on the money line. If you're
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: a gambler, you know what that means. Nine and eleven,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: so a losing record, but you're getting value on the
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: line at nine and eleven. Now, just for reference, if
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: you go back to last year, the entire first four
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: and round of sixty four, which would be Thursday and
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Friday here and our Friday show, there were only eight
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: out right upsets. So there have already been more outright
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: forget to the pointspread just outright upsets in this tournament
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: so far than there were last year. So that's where
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: ahead of last year's pace, which is very exciting. I
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: hear somebody breathing. I think I don't know.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: That's good. I think I think I got it. We
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: have fixed it now.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Sign let's find out right now, Big daddy, Hello, big daddy, welcome.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: What's going on? I tried to get in last night.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I want to ask you about that. So let's
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: get right to it here. Don't bear the lead, my man,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: don't bear Draymond Green, how long have you were you
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: born in Memphis?
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Or have you? Did you move there when you're younger?
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: How long have you been I've been here?
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, you've been there. You you have seen everything,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: you have believed.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: You are the they cut you open, You're gonna bleed, Memphis.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: So you're all rot, all right?
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: So Draymond Green comes out the other day. I think
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: it was on his podcast, and he wants the NBA
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to move the Grizzlies to Nashville. He says they should,
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: They should wave the feed just to get him out
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: of Memphis. Not a fan of your city?
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: What say you?
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: As a member of the Chamber Chamber of Commerce of Memphis,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Big Daddy.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: What say you?
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: Well, it's been a long time coming. Being fans are
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: not going to the game. Only the reason they went
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: back then, you know what I'm saying. People just wanted
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: to say that they was there. But people are not
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: sure enough of the game. They'd be better off in
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: nash Wield. I'm not gonna lie to you. I swear
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: they would because we're not supporting them.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: You know, well, and let me play the whole let's sick.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm doing this, got it?
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Why would you? They're not trying to win their tanking?
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Why would you support them? Like, don't they have to?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Isn't there an agreement where the team has to at
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: least pretend at least pretend to win.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: You said that. I'm glad you said that. When they
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: came here as the Vancouver Gridglies. The only way they
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: stayed they had the contract that they stayed. They had
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: to stay here ten years in order for that to
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: seek in so Vancouver can get their money back. They've
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: been here twenty years and it ain't done nothing. Barely
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: got to the finals with Hubey and he was almost ninety.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Come on, man, you're look at you.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: I did not expect that answer, Gott, you are all right,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: all right, I got.
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: It, just like pinted Penty. Trying to do the best
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: you can. But we don't have no money to get
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: no players. You just said that they making more money
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: than you. That's out there money to bring the player.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: I did not expect.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Listen, that's why you're a celebrity caller, Big Daddy. That's
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: not a take I expected. I thought you would say
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: now they should stay here. I did not expect you
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: to say that. You endorsed Raymond Green saying the team
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: should leave Memphis.
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: Thing.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I don't care. He used to work. Who cares about that?
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I don't care. He's you know, he's a former colleague.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I don't care.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: All right, birthday, Thank you, big Daddy. There it goes
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: the great Big Daddy from the grocery store in Memphis.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: He's putting cans of corn right now on Aisle seven.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: So if you go down to Aisle seven, some fresh
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: cans of corn at the grocery store there in Memphis. Yeah,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: it is the Ben Mallor show time now for the
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: who am I?
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Game? Will go to pro bouncy Ball for this. So
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Luca don Chik. No one saw this.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: Game because going on during the tournament, apparently the Lakers
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: played a game in Miami and Luca I saw it.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Like I said, nobody watched it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: But Luca had a sixty point game, his third career
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: sixty point games, so he is in NBA history, including
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. Luca is now seventh all time in sixty
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: point games. Now, Wilt Chamberlain is like Secretariat in this statistic.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Wil Chamberlain has had the most and it's not even close. However,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: I am second all time in NBA history to the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: great Wilt Chamberlain for the most sixty point games. Again,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Luca is seventh all time, but I am second to
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Wilt Chamberlain in career sixty point games in NBA history.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Who am I?
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: That's the question. The answer will get to it and
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: we will do it next.
