Hey, Hey, welcome, hen It's a mon Day, Monday Day,
Mom Day. They don't normally do that, but why not.
We're here for the week. The guys are on vacation.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
As I tweeted, mom and dad are on vacation. The
kids will play And then someone said, who's the mom,
and I was like, obviously Steve Cavino. Obviously Steve Cavino.

news Deskalo.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Isaac, Monty, Dan Monty Dan Dan.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
And Jason Stewart is here as is.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Hello everybody, Hello.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Iowa, Sam. Hello, how do spot taking care of things
on the live stream on YouTube?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Yes, thank you, spotty boy.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
We are set for the Western Conference semis and the
Eastern Conference semifinals. To start, it's the Sixers and Nicks
coming up at eight o'clock Eastern. Then at nine thirty
Eastern time, it's the Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs playing tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Manzi, why is there an overlap? Dan? Why does the
NBA hate its fans?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
This is Hey, I don't know. Necessarily, I don't have
an answer. This has to be an NBC sort of deal,
because remember they were the ones that had the regular
season where the East Coast gets the seven o'clock Eastern
Cuzintite and the West Coast gets their own game. You
(01:58):
don't get to see both games except on opening weekend. Yeah,
did you know that? You never got to see on
NBC here on the West Coast the early East Coast game.
The people on the East Coast saw the East Coast game,
but if they wanted to watch the late West Coast game,
they had to jump over to Peacock like we had
to for the early game. So their game, they'd watch
the NBA game, then they'd go into the probably the
(02:19):
nightly news. And for us here it was six o'clock
news into the night game on NBC. So that's what
NBC has given us. It does. I have to think
it's an NBC thing because with those tips ninety minutes apart,
you're saying, well, what about the time zones. These Western
(02:39):
Conference teams are all in the Central time zone. That's
nothing new. I think we've had games in Minnesota, We've
had games in Memphis, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston.
None of that is new. They're all in the Central
time zone. But when we go to Wednesday, Monzi and
the Knicks and Spurs are hosting their game twos seven
(03:01):
o'clock Eastern time tip on ESPN, nine thirty Eastern time
tip on ESPN two and a half hours in between,
So it has to be an NBC thing.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I don't like any of the logical answers you just
gave me.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Prime Video. Has it like ESPN? Does they give you.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The two and a half hours?
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yes, correct, NBC Tomorrow night, same thing. They'll be both
on NBC. Calves and Pistons will start at seven Eastern
Lakers and Thunder will start at eight thirty Eastern times.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So NBC hates Yes, that's what it is that makes
no sense. During the regular season, if this was the thing, fine,
but it's the damn playoffs. This is the time where
you should make exceptions to the rules maybe that you
have had throughout the regular This is NNZI.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
This is a network that has had a legacy care
Everyone was excited about the NBC coming back to the NBA.
It is the reason I believe that NBA ratings are
up and have been up and have been great numbers
because of the NBC factor, because of them being put
on prime time. This is a legacy network that you
(04:10):
don't care about in doing what they're doing. So you
know what I'm gonna do. I'm just gonna roll with it.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I just want to watch the games. Is that asking
for too much for a legacy network to just give
me the opportunity to watch to both games without having
to flip back and forth or leave. Can't you even
do that because it's on Peacock.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
The first game is on NBC, the second game is
on the NBC Sports Network. Both will be on Peacock.
But to think that you can just go last if
you have direct TV or table.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
No, you can't.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's what I'm saying, so, why why is it so difficult?
I just want to watch both games.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Take it up with NBC. I will take it up
with NBC. Maybe maybe Isaac knows, maybe Jason knows. Do
we have reference? What's that now movie? No, that was
the reference. But on why there would be staggered games,
I don't know. Maybe we should have figured this out
in our pre show meeting.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Maybe.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Sorry, that's sorry, Curveball.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
That's all right. I tried to transition to legacy because
you have been going off on legacies changing this past weekend,
because we've had the Rockets ousted on Friday night by
the Lakers, you had the Celtics booted on Saturday by
the seventy six ers, and then yesterday James Harden and
the Calves pick up a big victory in Game seven
over the Raptors. Legacies at stake in these NBA playoffs.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, and some have gone upward and some have fallen
so far off their cliff, and it's been it's been
an interesting playoffs so far because of that, because we've
only we're still only entering the second round.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Here's the funny thing. Manti has two players. I know
who they are and I think there's one obvious person
that triggered this topic. I think it's obvious. However, I
know who I'm dealing with. I think it's the other
person that made you want to talk about this topic.
(06:05):
I think the obvious person and has been talked about
and I've seen it on the screen is Kevin Durant. Yes,
but I think you wanted to talk about legacies because
of Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I did. I think Rudy Gobert is more of the
conversation that nobody is having, and it's mainly maybe for me,
it's because I've never thought Rudy Gobert was worth the
four first round draft picks. I never thought he was
the difference maker that other defensive player of the Year
players are. I have thought that he is a liability
(06:42):
in big moments for teams when they need him the most.
He is a seven footer. He should be more effective,
and I've never thought he was. But this past series
between Minnesota and Denver. Notice I didn't say Timberwolves, Minnesota
and Denver. I thought that Rudy Gobert actually was a
(07:06):
difference maker in how Minnesota won that series. And you're
not gonna see it in the box score. You're just
it's just how he was affecting Denver's offense. He was
not a liability. He wasn't taking out of the game,
because sometimes that happens. They would take him out because
he was liability on defense or just couldn't move. But
he actually surprised me in this series. I was like, man,
(07:27):
if this is the Rudy Gobert, Okay, okay, Minnesota, you
can get further than I thought you could. Obviously, Anthony
Edwards losing Dante Devincenzo that adds a lot to it
as to how far Minnesota can get. But I was
surprised at how Rudy Gobert handled this series against Denver.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Do you honestly think we will look at Rudy Gobert's
career differently from what happened.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I did two weeks I did, I will, I will.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
So when everybody goes Rudy Gobert was not worth those
four first dround picks, you're gonna say, hey, twenty twenty
six Western Conference first round, what he did against Nikola
jokicch the perennial MVP in the NBA, that's the Rudy
Gobert that I know.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
No, I think it's now I'm just curious what's going
to happen next. Now I want to watch Minnesota. Now
I'm more intrigued with Minnesota, and I think he's the
reason I'm more intrigued. Even with Anthony Edwards being injured,
I'm still wondering how far they're going to get, and
I think he's going to be a factor. So let's
see in a couple of weeks how far Minnesota gets.
I think there's a chance that more people are gonna
(08:30):
be talking about Rudy Gobert.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Your threshold is different than mine because I just don't think.
I don't think that Rudy Gobert is a player to
have a legacy, to be quite honest, to maybe that
word that level yet, But it's because I think it's
of the of the select few, a top like I
don't know if you know, I don't know if Julius
(08:53):
Randall has a legacy, and I, you know, would consider
him the second best player on Minnesota. I think Anthony
Towards will, I think Nicola Jokicic will in that series,
maybe Jamal Murray if we're just looking at you know,
like the two teams that were playing. But the legacies
that I look at are and the ones that were
affected honestly this weekend, Like I think just I don't
(09:15):
even think that Kevin Durant's legacy was hurt as much
as people want to talk about it. I think Jason
Tatum and Jaylen Brown's legacy from what happened this past
weekend took a turn because Tatum now being unavailable for
a team in Game seven and Celtics fans are like,
why why is Jason Tatum not available for this team?
(09:36):
I think Jaylen Brown not making the shots that he
could have made down the stretch with a missing shot
after shot in the final five minutes, that's telling me
that for his greatest Boston's regular season was Jalen Brown
was not the man that he maybe wanted to be
for the Celtics when they needed him the most, and
that's when Jason Tatum was out in a game that
(09:57):
you had to win to keep your season alive. I'm
looking at legacy. Does Jason Tatum miss Game seven take
a little bit of shine off the NBA title that
he won in twenty twenty four? Yeah, yeah, a little
bit for me and I understand the injury. You know,
rushed back, but when his team needed him, he wasn't.
There is Jaylen Brown that guy now with the legacy, Well,
(10:18):
Jalen Brown seemed to be the guy who was in
the MVP conversation throughout the year because of the absence
of Jason Tatum when they needed him the most. He
couldn't hit the shots that he needed to and they
put him unfortunately on Joel Embida at times and couldn't
stop him there. It's not his fault. I think it's
more of a Missoula thing, something you pointed out earlier today.
But those are the legacies that I look at, Like
(10:39):
Rudy Gobert doesn't have a ring yet to really even
be put in the conversation. But when I'm looking at legacies,
Durance not even my first go to this past week,
and it's Tatum and Brown.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
The fact that Rudy, I am with you on maybe
the word legacy not being exactly what I'm trying to
say with Rudy Gobert, because You're right, isn't it crazy
to say that a man who has one for Defensive
Player of the Year awards has no legacy like isn't
that crazy.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Yeah, I think that is his I guess if if
we're having the conversation like, there's just no way that
like a Lebron legacy and Rudy Gobert legacy mean the
same thing. And of course not. Rudy Gobert is who
he is, I guess is my point. He's a four
time Defensive Player of the Year. But I don't think
(11:28):
that we are going to change, at least it didn't
for me and it did for you. On how I
look at Rudy Gobert as a whole. I think it's
a good series. I think it's a series that you
probably should have had or you would expect him to have.
But I don't think that it's going to change anything
and how we look at Rudy Gobert moving forward, because
I just think legacy is really with the top dogs
(11:51):
like this Houston fallout like Durant. Yeah, it affects it
for a lot of different reasons on and off the court.
I think that's a part of the legacy. That's a
chapter in a book. When you look at Kevin Durant's career,
you're gonna say, oh, chapter twenty twenty six was awful. Yeah,
I had a bunch of burner accounts, and then you
know it was hurt when my team needed me the
(12:12):
most and I wasn't there.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Kevin Durant, what has happened to Kevin Durant needs to
be studied because he's by himself threw himself off the
cliff nobody else. He by himself has ruined his own legacy.
Nobody should want Kevin Durant. Like, if we're discussing, oh,
where'suld Vin Durant go a team that doesn't think they
can make it, Send him to the Wizards, Send everybody there.
Knowing my luck, he's gonna be a Clipper. That's how
(12:34):
all the cookie cripples.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
You don't think that we're gonna look at Kevin Durant
as maybe being the best basketball player in the game
like in the late twenty teams. Do you think that
like this, something like this would change like it did
for me with Jason Tatum in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
What Kevin Durant has done alone in this year from
the burner situation, from you playing how many games seventy
eight and then you bumped your knee and then you
just decided to no longer play in the series. That
makes no sense to me. He Unfortunately, I think in
a couple of years, like right now, it's like, to me,
Kevin dura is a walking bucket. That guy will score
(13:15):
whatever he freaking feels like it. But everything else that
comes with it is so bad that I think years
from now people will be like, oh, yeah, I remember
how good Kevin Durant was. Man, what an idiot to
just throw away throw it all away? And I'm just
talking about this year. We could go into what has
happened in his career, hopping from team to team, and
(13:35):
there's always something wrong with the team. You have to
start feeling like maybe he's the He's what's wrong with
the team, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's not
just it's just this year to add to all of
the already bad parts of Kd's career, because it's not
one thing. There's so many things we could talk about.
I'm just so surprised that this year how he literally
(13:56):
threw himself by himself over that cliff with Ride Gobert. Yeah,
maybe legacy is not the word, but that's crazy. A
four time MVP MVP, a four time defensive player, of
the Year, has no legacy. You're one hundred percent right.
I just now I'm looking at him, looking at him differently,
and I want to see what Minnesota does. And Minnesota
does pull this off with Anthony Edwards being half there
(14:17):
with his knees, No Dante Devincenzo. We'll see what Julius
Randall does. We'll see how this team gets comes together.
But I am looking at Rudy Gobert as possibly the
difference maker for Minnesota and how they end this year.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
I think that's I think that's an interesting angle to
it because I look at I look at like andre
Iguodala who had a nice career in the NBA and
then goes to Golden State, ends up winning finals MVP
amongst the star players, and now Andre Guadala went up
(14:52):
like four levels. Like if Minnesota goes on a run
and Rudy Gobert continues to play well and is at
least familiar with Victor women Yama, I mean both both
being Frenchmen. If he has a good series here, maybe
that's the sort of role it takes. Maybe it maybe
it evolves more into what you're saying. Maybe we're looking
back at that trade with less of a crooked eye
(15:13):
and saying four first rounders for for Rudy Gobert. I
think all of that. I will give you that in
that portion. I just don't think that the last two
weeks changed anything. But could there be a path, Yeah,
there could be. There could be that sort of route
for him, considering Minnesota is also shorthanded and you need
players to step up.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I like the way you put that because I agree
legacy is not the word, but maybe we're cracking that
door open.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
What about Embiid's legacy? How much has it changed just
in this one series?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
I think we're waiting. You can't. We can't. We can't
say everything's changed just because they beat the Celtics in
a game seven after you know, his appendec appendectomy. Did
I say that right? Yeah? That one we I don't
want to I don't want to jump the gun. I
don't want to jump the shark and say like everything
has changed for Joel, and but I do think all
of us are kind of like, okay, Joelle, all right.
(16:04):
The process took a little long, but it seems like
we were here.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
We talked earlier today about Joel Embiid being this now
player that you can root for. But I'm also not
naive to think that there's no way Joel Embiid makes
it from now until mid June if the Sixers end
up going on that run. And it's a crappy thing
to say, I get it, but the reality of the
(16:29):
situation is his body has been so fragile. In fact,
we think he's hurt now because of what happened with Maxi,
because of the hip being worked on. It is zero
guarantee that Joel Embiid is going to be available for
this team in every game that they play the rest
of the way. They got through a Boston team that
we hated the start of their their starting lineup. We
(16:53):
didn't like some of the decisions that Joe Missoula made,
and I just talked about the absence of Tatum in
Jaylen Brown's absence in making shot in the last five minutes.
So while the Sixers advanced and came back from that
three to one deficit and they seem like a completely
different team with a healthy Joel Embiid, it still is
a seven game series that they needed to win Game
seven down to the last minute, ned Foston go one
(17:14):
of twelve from the floor in the final five minutes.
So they're not perfect, but they can. It could develop
a story, and I think that Embiid, legacy wise, would
have the most game. And I joked yesterday and you
were here when I said, I can't imagine a world
where we have James Harden and Joel Embiid playing in
the Eastern Conference finals, because that means somebody's going to
(17:35):
the NBA Finals. That's right, and someone's legacy would be changed.
Thinking nothing away from the Pistons and Knicks, but that's
where we are in a bracket, and it could actually happen.
Is it going to happen? Probably not likely, just like
it's not likely to think Joel Embiid stays healthy over
these six weeks. But now his legacy has taken a
turn because I feel he's someone you can root for.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Absolutely. The most games that he's played in his career
in the regular season was sixty eight games a couple
of years ago. So he played thirty eight during the
regular season. What's the most he could possibly play right now?
What about twenty eight? Not anymore because the first round
he missed it twenty one games left, twenty one games left,
so he would reach about that number, so like he
could maybe make it, he could get through it.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Impossible, impossible, he says. I don't wish injury on anyone.
I just don't.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
You're just being realistic.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
These games are two and three times the intensity that
you play in the regular season, so I also think
that you're then two to three times maybe more prone
to something happening for someone who's always injured. I just
I it's it may be unfair, but I just think
that that's the reality that we live in that they're
going to be in a situation where if they continue
to advance, that Joel Embiid's not going to be there.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
And he doesn't And this is I like this about him.
He doesn't seem to want to protect himself, you know
what I mean, Like he'll dive for the ball knowing
he just crashed with somebody. There was a in this game,
Game seven against the Celtics. Late in the game, they're
pulling away from the Celtics and there's kind of like
a loose ball that he dives for, and I was like,
what are you doing. You didn't need to.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
Die for that.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
You gotta protect yourself. So you make a point that
he May because because he goes for it, he goes
for it, he doesn't protect himself.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
He broke eighteen bones on that dive. No, I'm just kidding,
just kidding, but he's stealing on the hip issue, and
he had the knee issue when Maxie fell into him
in Game seven. So again something to watch. But if
there is a legacy that changed, I think it's Tatum
and Brown and I think em beads can turn. Durance
is whatever, And you're right, like he's the constant to
all of.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
The drama, the constant everywhere he goes. If he would
have just stayed with the Warriors, it probably would have
won five more rings. But instead he was offended that
people said it was STEP's team. It is STEP's team.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Manzi's gonna be chanting Rudy Gobert tonight as.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
They all take on the San Antonio Spurs.

Is it for the Celtics funeral? Sure? The magic Jamal
Mosley loses his job today? Well, JB. Bickerstaff gets a
(20:42):
contract extension. I don't mean to do all of Isaac
Lohencron's work, but he's at the news desk giving us
the latest, and then we'll find out why Moncey Blans
loves the Savannah bananas and hates those who don't. Isaac
take it away, Well, I guess she hates me anyway.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Who that's what we call that's what we call it teas.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
I don't think that's a tease. I think that's he's
saying he's not a fan of.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
The Savanna, but he shows violence today.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Idea coming up. I don't know if he's got any
highlights on the Savannah bananas.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
No, clearly not.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
They sold out there one hundred thousand at Kyle Field
in College Station, Texas over the weekend, even with the
left field line being like one hundred and fifty feet away.
To Monty's point, they didn't put up a big net. Yes,
it's good safety wise. You don't want guys getting kids
getting hit by line drives that would have been a
double in left field. But the point is is one
(21:34):
hundred thousand people showed up, not how high was the
fence and left field. And this is the topic of
conversation that has happened on Cavino and Rich before. And
you want to stick up for those banana tails.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I don't know if it's my algorithm or what, but
the amount of just visceral hate, not just people saying like,
oh it's not for me, I don't want to go
to Savanna bananas. That's not what I'm talking about like
my algorithm is like showing people like truly hate what
the Savannah Bananas are. And I'm having a hard time
understanding you don't have to like it. That's I get that,
(22:06):
you don't have to go I understand all that, but
why so much hate towards it to the point where
they're just like hoping that it dies soon and it's
not gonna people love it. One hundred and two thousand
people went to watch this show.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Are is the hate just men?
Speaker 1 (22:27):
No, it's not. In fact, it came across my I
think because I clicked on one. But it was a
gal that I don't follow, but a gal with like
a following, a young gal, attractive, and she.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Went to Asnial.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
No she was not an old bat that made paint
come off the wall. No, no, no, she was an
attractive young gal that had like a following, and she
went to a Savanna Bana Games game and just crushed it.
Just said it was the worst thing ever. And everyone
joined in. They're like, yeah, it's ruining baseball. This isn't baseball.
You're not going to watch this because you want to
(23:02):
watch it. You're like, oh, I can't go to a
Dodger game, so I'll go to Savana Banas. This is
not what this is supposed to be. So I just
don't understand how you want to just talk so negatively
upon something that so many people clearly enjoy. How does
it affect your life so badly that you have to
say again, it's not saying that's not for me. Maybe
Isaac can tell me what he meant, because he definitely
(23:24):
indicated that it. Maybe he is the scal that I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Yeah, that's my burner account. I share it with Kevin
Durant and we forgot the passwords that it is. No,
I'm actually I'm actually one of the people. I don't
hate it by any means, but I just completely don't
get it. I think it's really cool that they're getting
all the success, and I'm surprised in a good way
that it's sustained. I don't hate it by any means.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
I literally just.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Don't get it. I do not get it, not in
a negative way. So for people like me, what would
you guys say?
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Why?
Speaker 2 (23:56):
What's its appeal to so many people? For people who
do get it? Because it's clear a lot of people
don't get you are.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Going to be able to answer that question better than
I would because I haven't been there. But I'm going
to say one thing about Isaac because I've told Cavino
and Rich as well that I am not a fan
of Savannah bananas. I don't hate on them. I just
realized recently, and now there's a term for it, main
character syndrome. It's also easy to just say it's not
for me, it's not meant for me, But there are
(24:23):
people who just feel that they are the main character,
so they're going to go to the lengths. And it's
easy to hate on something that has become very very
popular because then you go into a lane that is
less crowded. That is why I think what you're saying
is happening with the people with the hate is they
can't say, maybe what Isaac is saying, or what I
am saying, is that it's just not it's not for me,
(24:45):
like I wouldn't. I don't find an interest in it.
And I think some people have a difficulty saying that, which.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Is fine, but that's not what this is. This is
just people saying like it's ruining baseball. How is this
ruining the sport that you like? So much. I don't
understand stand that connection to it saying it's not for you.
I get that, I understand this is it's a show.
It is to me, I would say this is a show.
It is a two hour baseball show. I never saw
(25:11):
the Harlem Globetrotters. I never I've seen video that, I've
never seen them in person. This I don't know if
it felt like a show, but the Samanna Banana is
a show.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Like It's a good analogy, though, Monsey, that's a good.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Analogy, you know what I'm saying. But I don't know
if that felt like a show or if it felt
more like a exhibition, like this is a show.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Yeah, I've never caught on the dude perfect. I've never
That's never been my thing. Like, I just felt everything
was staged, you know, the guys that I was like,
who that shoot? You know, will take a basketball from
the upper deck to the stadium and then they end
up making it like yeah, like that just I never
have understood why that has gained such by the way
(25:53):
an enormous following and a lot with younger kids as
well in watching that. I have never been to a
Savannah Banana's game, and maybe I should because the last
time that I spoke about this and saying that it's
not for me, our boss texted me and said, now
only did we go the first night? We had so
much fun we ended up going the second night for it.
(26:14):
So like there's a point where I don't think people
are leaving the stadium saying that's stunk. It was two
hours of.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
This gal that I came across. That's exactly what's what
she said.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Yes, I think it's more people not going there and
having their opinions, but I guess to each their own.
If she's walking away from the ballpark feeling that she's
unsatisfied with what she saw, and.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Again, it's like, it's not a baseball game. So if
anybody is purchasing a ticket to go see a Savannah
Bana game and then you walk out of there upset
that you didn't see baseball in its purest form, then
I don't know why you bought a ticket, because I
don't think Savanna Banas are hiding what they're doing. They're
not telling you it's a baseball game. You know, it's
a big party essentially, like there's music playing, there's skits
(26:57):
going on while baseball is going on. There's a lot
going on. So if it's not for you, I get it.
But the hate for it to fail, for people to
stop going, that's like that. And again it might be
my algorithm. After I clicked on this Scal's video, but
it was like a picture of her after the game
and she was just like, this is the worst thing
I've ever seen. It's just ruining baseball. Girl, You sound
(27:17):
fun at parties.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
Jason Stewart is our executive producer. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
I think if your take is that it's ruining baseball,
then you're just dumb and that you're really just not
that smart. It's not meant for the baseball audience. I
think it's meant, as Dan just said, for kids. I
think we underestimate the market for things that you could
take your kids to for a couple hours. And I
think that's what maybe why Isaac doesn't get it, why
(27:44):
Dan probably didn't get it. I certainly don't get it.
I would not go if I was not bringing a
child to the event. And I will say this too.
You make the Harlem Globe Trotter's analogy. I've been to
that and it is a tough set, like just two
and a half hours of them like trying half quarters
and missing them. It's two and a half hours of
(28:06):
them trying bits that don't quite make it. But I
think the genius of the Savannah Bananas is that it
plays so well on social media that you just think
it's like two and a half hours of that. I'm
guessing it's more like kind of the Harlem Glot Prowders,
where you're just kind of sitting until something happens.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
No, no, no, there's yeah, there's there's nothing dragging about
a Savannah Banana game. In fact, there's a timer whatever
the MC, the host, whatever that guy is. He's like,
all right, it's time for Banana Ball. And they literally
put a two hour timer and so the game is
gonna end with probably the Savanna Banas beating the firefighters.
But it's going to end and there's no there's no downtime.
(28:43):
It keeps going. I saw them at Petco Park and
they brought Trevor Hoffman out to close out.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
The game with the music and everything.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
With the music and everything, that's how that one ended.
Like that was really fun. Derek Kuff, who was a
Dancing with the Stars, he came out and he danced
with the bananas in a like a little skit. But
it's like there's no downtime. The tickets are way affordable,
Like you can't I don't think you can sell your
ticket on a third party, like you have to go
through their system, and they're very affordable. It's hard to
(29:11):
get tickets, but they seem to be doing it all
the right ways, and like you said, it probably is
for family. I went and I had a fun time.
I was like, man, this is a this is not
I didn't know what I was getting into, and I
just thought it was a lot of fun. And I
don't understand the hate not being into it is something else. Yes, Jason,
I can see you not wanting to go to Savanna
Banana game. But I bet you if you went with Christina,
(29:33):
I bet you would walk out of there and be like,
that's better than I thought.
Speaker 5 (29:37):
I don't doubt you. I don't doubt it.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I wonder if there are guys who are just jealous
because you have just a bunch of twenty something good
looking fit guys putting on a show and may feel jealousy.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It's so funny that you say that, because there was
ladies older ladies that were getting hot and heavy for
these juggins without the Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
I was like, okay, all right, ma'am, giddy guys don't
like that. They don't. By the way, I will probably
go to a game within the next five years. She
would take my son. God, you would check out the experience.
And at that point, I don't see if my opinion changes.
But am I actively going to go on now and
say like, hey, let's go to Savannah Bananas game. Probably not.
(30:19):
The other thing that would drive me away is one
hundred thousand people, Like imagine the traffic, you know, like
you're dealing with. I know they do it every Saturday
at College Station when when the Yankees take the field,
but you know, to just even that portion for a
baseball game, You're like, I don't know, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
No, that doesn't sound appealing. But that's with any sport,
like anything, I don't want to go to so far and.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's yeah, and it's only two hours, as you said,
so it's so at least your time away. You may
be in the car for longer, but you're not at
least stuck at the stadium for a long time. Fair enough,
She's Monzi Blanios. I'm Dan Byer. We are in for
Cavino and Rich Jason Stewart, Iowa Sam and Isaac Glowing
Cronner here, Sam, did you want to weigh in? Did
you have anything on Savannah Bananas?
Speaker 7 (31:02):
I remember, I want to say, about five or six
years ago, I saw a clip of them. I started
following their Twitter accunt when they had less than one hundred.
I don't know how many I have now. I'm guessing
it's like five hundred thousand to a million, or maybe
I'm wrong, But I started following them they had like
fourteen thousand Twitter followers or like it was. It was
not a lot, And I'm like, these guys are novel
I think it's really hard to make something that original
(31:25):
in this day and age. And I was listening to
a little bit of Arnie Spanier of the Weekend here
in Fox Sports Radio. I think he was with Aaron Torres,
and he was talking about how the founder, the creator
of the Savannah Bananas, he had a lot of tweaking
added due to it, and he lost money and he
it took a lot of failures to get this thing
going and now it's so successful and Arnie was just
(31:46):
going on about how that the founder and I'm drawing
a blank on his name, but how he's just like
this great guy, and yes, he wants to keep the
ticket prices low.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Yeah, he wants to like he wants to make it
sign everyone experience, like, you know, being like, hey, well
we'll sign this, you know, we'll sign to the sun
comes up.
Speaker 7 (32:00):
So I'm not a huge I'm not like huge into it.
I'd go to one, I'd experience it. But I think
it's it's novel, it's great for kids and families. I
have no problem with it out. I probably took him.
I like the guy in the stilts, the pitcher on
the stilts. That's cool. I mean, I think just maybe
one and done for me. But you know, I think
I have no problem with it.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
All amazing. We didn't give out the phone numbers, but
we do have a caller. Do we want to go quickly? Chason?
Do we even know who it is?
Speaker 5 (32:25):
David and Illinois?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
David Illinois, all right, yeah, you know the number?
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Afternoon. Yeah. So I'd like to start by saying this.
First of all, You're right, it's absolutely about the children,
it really is. But here's the other thing, when you
take a child to the ballpark, you see these phenomenal athletes.
These guys are professionals, but you see them at their
form to where you know they're not out messing around
like these guys are. I don't think people quite understand
(32:50):
how hard it is to get a pitch down the middle,
to have the batter hit the ball to center field
perfectly for a guy to do a backflip and catch it.
These guys are putting on a display for these young
children about how good it is to be a professional
athlete the way they are, and you're seeing them in
their fun form, just like the Halem Globetrotters, not serious
(33:12):
in playing baseball, but that's the biggest thing here. These
guys are exceptional athletes, and these kids get a little
bit of a taste of what it takes.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
To be that good. Good job. David, Yeah, great, And

Speaker 1 (33:53):
The real MVP.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Bum Knees and all I know Colin and Canada on
the live stream on YouTube. Said, Spot made a good
point last week. How coming you only hear about the
bananas and never the other teams who compete against them.
But I think there are more teams being built right
to compete against because the brand has become so big.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Correct, Yeah, And I responded, I said, I think they
only play the firefighters.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Mants responded, I thought it was someone with a fake
account that was Manzi's name, look at first, and then
I realized, no, that actually is her because she put
a smiley emoji after it. Time now for a tirect

Day courtesy of ninety seven point won the ticket and
the Pistons radio network knock'clock violation for the Magic.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
The Pistons have it thirteen seconds, supplay the Pistons one sixteen,
The Magic's ninety four.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
And that's it. That's it on Jamal Moseley's tenure with
the Magic, and the Pistons move on to face the
Calves in the series starting tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
You know, it's crazy. It's like Mosley gets fired, bigger
stuff gets an extension, and had the game ended differently,
which just would have been the opposite, it would have
been a bigger staff, you're fired. Mostly you get an extension,
you're fired. Yeah, did basket? I love that.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I was unable to see. I don't know if because
it wasn't on ESPN yesterday. We haven't. We don't have
the Gone Fishing for the Toronto Raptors yet but or
for the Orlando Magic, but we do for the Boston Celtics.
Did you see it?
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I saw it? You saw it?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
You see it, Jason Stewart, you see the Gone Fishing?
Speaker 5 (35:43):
I did, I did ye.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
Bill Simmons made it.
Speaker 1 (35:48):
There were some some other faces and Titanic like Mark Wahlberg, Yeah, yeah,
Mark Wahlberg was in there.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
In Titanic fashion. Mike Vrabel and Diana Rossini front of
the boat. Oh jeez, Like just when you think they've
lost their fastball, you know what, maybe inside the NBA
should move on the graphics department in a gone fishing
brings in a record Marlin like this thing. I mean,
everyone was tweeting about it. You had to like, it's
(36:18):
just there, like you can't whatever your feelings are, it's great,
you have to laugh about it. But just when you think, yeah,
I don't know, maybe this isn't working on ESPN anymore,
what do they do? They really ye.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Back in they really did. It was funny. Like you said,
you just had to laugh because I wasn't expecting it,
and the Titanic aspect of it made it funnier. That
was even funnier.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
People were speculating on what the Chargers are going to
do on their schedule release because the Patriots may be on.
I can't remember who said that, but somebody pointed out, like,
oh my goodness, what are the Chargers going to do
to the Patriots? We shall see this will not stop.
She's Monte Milanos. I'm Dan Byer. It's made the forth
that's next.
