Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka Laca. It's our nub birth three and we're
talking pro bouncy ball here in our number three. And
oh what a night. It was an NBA game where
a team led by forty nine points was the most compelling,
most entertaining NBA broadcast all year. How did the NBC
(00:23):
throwback NBA broadcast work for you? As Bob Costas and
Doug Collins, the tzar of the telestrator Mike Fortello all
joined forces. Yet again, we'll discuss what it was like
to watch that game. Also, Lakers podcast coach JJ Reddick
says he's good with Luka Nancik and that they have
(00:44):
a great relationship despite getting into a sideline tiff the
other day, how do you see that one? And in baseball,
just jerks and Profar regret being one of the biggest
knuckleheads in recent baseball history. In the Atlanta Rayvufielders suspended
for one hundred and sixty two games the entire season,
(01:05):
he's dipped his hand in the ped cookie jar. Yet again,
we'll talk about that and much more right now, including
the Queen of Hearts with the Lorena. It's our number three.
It was an instant classic not on the scoreboard, No no,

(03:06):
from pro Bouncy Ball. Now, as you know, if you
pay close attention, you might not. I'm gonna assume that
you do pay somewhat close attention to the show that
we do a nightly show here right, We do a
nightly show and the podcast on the weekends. And as
I'm getting ready for the show, I normally have a
game on in the background, just keep an eye on,
(03:27):
not necessarily watching it. It's just kind of background noise,
and occasionally I'll look up if something exciting happens, and
if it's a really good game, I'll pay really good
attention to it, like playoff games and things like that.
But typically during the week slim pickets, slim pickets. So
I bring this up. It is pro Bouncy about so
wemby the Parisian prodigy Victor Wambanyama and the Spurs continued
(03:52):
their rodeo trop. I think this is like the end
of it. I believe, so they were in Philadelphia the
Delaware Valley to take on the seventy six and that
was a game that really wasn't much of a game.
You see, the Spurs San Antonio never trailed in the game.
They led by as many as forty nine forty nine
(04:13):
point lead at one point, ended up winning by close
to that, blowing the doors off Kerffleuey to the team
from Philadelphia. So why are we mentioning this game? Why
was this game the coolest NBA game of the entire season?
What made this night different than all other nights?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Maybe not? Maybe not? So this was the vintage broadcast
of the NBA. And we mentioned this in a previous
episode of the show, and there it was caught our attention.
I didn't have the game on mute. I had to
sound up. I normally mute it because the announcers annoy me,
(04:59):
but I had the audio going. I was enjoying this.
It was Bob Costas and Doug Collins and Mike Rattello,
the headliners on the NBA on NBC Throwback Broadcast, throw
Back Broadcast. Did you watch any of this? No bad
(05:19):
job by you. You should have watched it, all right, So,
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question how did the NBA on NBC throwback broadcast
work for you? How did it work for you? So
I've got porn Hub, Electromagnetic and super Big Gulp, and
(05:41):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to snap our fingers, is what we're going
to do, because I felt like snapping my fingers, like,
what is going on here? Have I flashed back thirty years? Like? Seriously,
this game was a blowout, forty nine point leader one
point for the Spurs, and yet that game was fantabulous, fantemic.
(06:05):
It was extra schmaltzy. I don't normally like schmaltz, Buddy,
it was. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the schmaltz I did.
It was a trip down glory road, is what it was.
And it wasn't for people under the age of thirty
or even thirty five. I would say, but X marks
(06:25):
the spot, jen X and above the boomers anyone in
the older demo. Man, was that good jack pot jack
Pot on the broadcast? It should have been sponsored. I
was texting a buddy and I was also watching the game,
and I said this should be sponsored by Pornhub. And
(06:46):
my buddy texts me when you lose it, he stupid,
And I said, no, no, it should be sponsored by
pornhub because it's pure, uncut sports nostalgia porn. That broadcast
was nothing but sports nostalgia porn. That's what that was, right, NBC.
They might as well have rolled out the DeLorean. I
(07:07):
know that was from the eighties, but roll out the
DeLorean right back to the future. They've made some back
to the Future movies in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Two.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Crank that baby up to eighty eight miles an hour
and suddenly it's nineteen ninety six again. Yeah. And then
to add on to the night, things lining up in
a row. The Great Steve de Sager came into where
I was hiding out in the back. Here down this
(07:33):
you out the door to my right, you go down
a little hall, make a right, you then make a left,
go down a long hall. Then you have to make
another left and then and then go down to the
end of that and then you make a little left.
And then there's a room in the back and that's
where I hang out. And De Sager comes in there
and he hands me a photo that me and him
(07:57):
took together in the dugout at Dodge Stadium playing in
the immediate baseball game. I said, what year is that?
Nineteen ninety six? Holy crap, thirty years ago, I said,
my guy, unbelievable. But listen, this thing was amazing. I
loved it. You know, I hate everything as a talk
show host. I'm my default programming is to hate everything.
(08:18):
And there I was, I've become the old guy. And
I watched older geezers like Bob Cossas and Doug Collins
and Mike Rittello, the frickinsar of the Telestrader, and even
Jim Gray, who I just had on the podcast. He's
a listener. Jim who was at the Super Bowl radio row.
He came by, said hello. He was their court side
as always, like the nosy neighbor with a microphone and
(08:42):
all that. And they even had the pregame Hannah Storm.
She showed it. Where's she been? I don't know. Isaiah Thomas.
Isaiah seemed a little annoyed because he still does broadcasting
for NBA TV. I think he felt a little annoyed
that he was on the Old Timers broadcast, like I'm
not I shouldn't be here. I'm better than an old timer.
And then you had PJ Carlissimo, who's I just checked.
(09:04):
He just turned twelve hundred years old. And the good
news is Latrell Spreewell was not anywhere to be seen,
so PJ was okay. So it was like opening up
a time capsule watching this game that had been buried
underneath what used to be a Blockbuster video and it
was right next to a Toys r us you know,
and all that, and there was a radio strack in
(09:26):
that same thing. It was like, wow, that's pretty cool.
I enjoyed it. The presentation was solid. They really killed
the red round Ball Rock, which they've had this They
bought the rights to an NBC, so they had that.
That John Tesh song was blasting out of the boombox.
There was a lot of that. They had the retro
(09:47):
score bug, the grainy highlight packages. It was dusting off
whatever your old toys are, that the Ferbie, what a
night the care bears those old nineties toys. Mister potato head.
I don't know. I was all grown up in the nineties,
so I don't know what toys you had. Stretcher Armstrong
that was before that, I guess anyway, the game itself,
(10:08):
the game itself, dog Food, not all pro Alpo Alpo.
That was the game. The broadcast Cordon Bleue, Chef's Kiss,
Chef's Kiss, Blue Ribbon, Blue Ribbon for the broadcast of
the NBA on NBC. They killed it. And here's the thing,
(10:29):
Like NBC knows this and they really leaned into it,
and it's something that a lot of people don't want
to talk about because it's really troublesome for the sports industry,
Like it's the doomsday prophecies for the world of sports.
Like I grew up, I'm of the age sports were
a very big deal for me obviously, growing up right,
watching games, playing in the neighborhood with kids and stuff
(10:50):
like that. We had great memories as that doing that.
That's not the way obviously it is anymore. And I
know from doing the TV show for a couple of
years and talking to people who are executives on that end,
that's the feedback I've gotten. They've told me. I said, listen,
most of the people that are watching these games on
television are middle aged and older. Young people don't sit
(11:11):
down and watch games on television most of them don't,
and they just watch highlights on TikTok or Instagram or whatever.
They're not sitting down there and watching games, so they
should do more of this. They will see what the
I can't believe the ratings are gonna be any good.
The game was terrible, but for middle aged degenerates it
was amazing. It was like, Wow, this is great, loved it.
(11:35):
Didn't want the night to end. You know, I did
learn during the broadcast they Bob Costas had said they
wanted Marv Albert to do the game. Apparently Marv can't
do it. I guess he might have some health problems.
I don't know what's going on with mar but they
originally wanted Marv to do it. I didn't hear any
mention of Pete VESSI very better Pete VESSI didn't mention
his I didn't hear if it did happen, I didn't
(11:55):
hear it. Maybe I was getting snacks. I might have
been getting snacks. Well that was going on, but I
didn't hear his name come up. He had complained that
he wasn't part of the broadcast as well, so they
good job. They fed the right crow and we'll see
if they do. I guess they're gonna do another one,
at least one more before the season ends. All right. Now, Secondly,
follow up follow up Controversy of the Week, Controversy of
(12:17):
the Week dateline skid row that's where the Lakers play
skid row La and more on that viral, heated exchange
as Lakers star Loa Luka Dacik and podcaster JJ Reddick
getting into a kerfluffle during a recent game. Now, this is,
(12:41):
of course sparked questions, this viral kerfluffle. It is spark
questions about the relationship. What's really going on there? So
JJ Reddick before the Lakers played a team called the Pelicans.
How pathetic is that? Pelicans? My god? So JJ Reddick
was asked about the incident. Now do you think a
(13:03):
JJ Reddick said, yes, I can't stand Luca and he
hates me. Do you think he said, be no comment
or see claim. We're all good. We're all good? All right?
So I'm told this is long. Let's play a little
bit of this and then if I get bored with it,
I'll give you the parts that I like. But here
(13:24):
is the podcaster who's pretending to be doing cosplay as
an NBA coach. JJ Reddick, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I didn't think much of it at the time. To
be honest with you, I don't think Luca did either.
I mean, he and I have a great relationship. I
really value our relationship, and I think those things happen,
you know, not every game, but they happen very frequently,
and you know, sometimes you have to rehash them with
(13:52):
a player or you know, as a teammate. Sometimes it
happens player to player.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
It just it's it's a competition, and you know, there's
two guys here who, in this case are trying to
win a basketball game, and uh, i'd be on the
same page about stuff, and frankly, like you know, talking.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
About Okay, that's enough. That's it now. If you listen,
there was a tell in that that exposed JJ Reddick.
I don't know if you're the key parts of that
are Reddick. You heard it. He said we have a
great relationship and it's just competition. So the question the
(14:31):
Laker podcaster who's pretending to be the coach because he's
buddies with Lebron, JJ Reddick says that, again, he's good
with Luca and they have a great relationship, relationship, So
how do you see it?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So this is obviously a d C situation, not DC comics,
a damage control situation. But there was something in the
speech pattern of JJ Reddick that was a dead dead
by JJ kept saying the words you know, and that
is a little glitch when you say the words you know.
(15:09):
When people say that, it's often because they don't know
what they're talking about, or they're making something up because
they're lying and they're trying to remember what to say.
I'm telling you, if you know what you're saying, you
don't say you know, you know, you know, you know,
(15:31):
just like yeah, but yeah, but yeahbit yeabbitt rabbit, you know,
you know, you know, gotta go, you know, gotta go.
Uh yeah. So he's out there saying Reddick, Hey, everything's
great here with Luca, We're all good. Here to quote Shakespeare.
I like just making quotes up from Shakespeare because you
can do anything. Uh Shakespeare saying the fellow dath protest
(15:59):
too much, thinks right, methinks he argues far beyond what
the moment required. So the giveaway was that, you know,
that was the giveaway. The purple and Gold in general
and I saw this from some other stories that were
bouncing around as I was getting ready for the talk show.
(16:19):
The what I call purple and gold electro magnetic force
field that was activated. I found it nauseating. You can
tell that there isn't something more going on. Unless you
can tell there's something more going on, it's called underlying tension.
Underlying tension, like Luca basically showed up the head coach
(16:43):
of the Lakers on the court during a game on camera,
candid camera, and there's no other way to interpret that.
There's no other way to interpret that. These guys know
that the camera's always on them. It showed a complet
lack of respect for the coach. And I'm not sitting
here saying that Reddick deserves respect. He didn't deserve to
(17:06):
be the head coach of the Lakers. It is a
joke he got the job. It's an embarrassment for all coaches.
Total fraud JJ Reddick, and he's proven to be a
terrible head coach. With the talent they have, they're not
very good. They're not a serious championship level team. But
that aside. The rules have always been you can yell, scream,
(17:27):
and shout at your coach, you just do it behind
closed doors. The fact that this went public that cranks
it up a couple of notches. They're at loggerheads during
the game. Was it Jared Vanderbilt had to come over
and be the peacemaker. I believe it was him. I
(17:48):
believe it was him so doing it on camera. That's
the tell. That is absolutely tell. And there's pr garbage,
the Lakers leaking to their useful idiots, circling the wagon
and leaking to their useful idiots in the media. Everything's
great here, nothing to see. I'm not buying it for
a second. Meanwhile, we go to baseball, and if you
(18:10):
have Jerkson Profar on your fantasy baseball team, you are
a loser. The Atlanta Rieves said bye bye to Jerkson
Profar after Major League Baseball handed him a one hundred
and sixty two game suspension. He's a PD cheat. According
(18:30):
to Major League Baseball, a prepared statement was released. Profar
tested positive for a testosterone laced substance, a performance enhancing substance.
According to these scientists at Major League Baseball, and based
on the fact that this is his second violation, he
is going to forfeit his salary. This year. You canbine
(18:55):
this with the previous punishment and Jerkson Profar will have
lost over twenty million twenty million dollars doing the steroids question.
Does at Atlanta Brave soon to be former Atlanta Brave
outfielder Jerkson Profar regret being one of the biggest knuckleheads
(19:21):
in recent MLB history. So I have an unpopular opinion,
all right, I'm shaking my head. No unpopular opinion. I
do not believe if you gave Jerkson Profar trussorum, he
would say, oh, I made a mistake. I don't believe
that now. The mistake was getting caught. But in terms
of regrets, eh, I don't think so, And a lot
(19:45):
of people hate hearing that. Then the answers, no, he
does not have any regrets. Here's why this was a
fraud play from the very beginning. If you're dabbling in fraud,
then why would you be upset that it went the
way it went. You knew that was a risk going
in the old pump and dump scheme. If you will,
(20:07):
the Baseball edition Ponzie not Phonsie, the Ponzi scheme there
and think of it like the Bernie made Off playbook.
If you will you look at the timeline, no serious
look at the timeline. So for years Jerkson Profar was
a fringe, light hitting baseball player, not a terrible player,
(20:30):
but not a great player, just kind of a guy
that was the twenty four to twenty fifth guy on
your roster, and you'd play him at different positions and
all that. And then in twenty twenty three he betted
two forty with nine home runs and was getting paid
by baseball standards, not a lot. Two and a half
million dollars in baseball's not that much. He looked at
(20:51):
the timeline, looked at his age. He said, wait a minute,
I can get one more contract if I start putting
up cartoon numbers. One more, okay, put up cartoon numbers. Poof,
All of a sudden, he goes down to get the
super big gulp, and he gets that Jim juice flavor
of the super big gulp turns into the Credible Hark
(21:13):
Hulk for one year. One year, jerks and Profar was
the incredible Hulk. Has a big year. I think he
was a silver slugger, believe he was, and from life
support to coug boom, all of a sudden, performing spike
numbers explode. The Atlanta Braves are all hot and heavy.
They handed him a forty two million dollar contract to
(21:36):
come to Georgia like they were writing money to a
Nigerian prince that sent them email asking for money. Just
give me your bank account info and I'm gonna wire
you elevenka trillion dollars. Okay? Sure? Why not? Now? Even
after the suspension, Even after the suspension which is gonna
(21:56):
cost him twenty point eight million jerks, and Profar still
nets about twenty one million extra based on malar math accounting.
So why would you have regrets? You were going to
maybe get one more small contract, a year to year contract.
You went out. I don't know whether we went to
(22:17):
a pharmacy in Tijuana or wherever. Some guy named Hank
gave him. Hank in Tokyo gave him a bunch of stuff.
But he went out there and the Atlanta Braves got drifted.
Atlanta bought the fake Rolex. They bought the fake Rolex
at full price. They did. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Okay, all right, it's pretty simple.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Right.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
We had this guy hollering James who was fast asleep,
and he won the game, so it's not that hard questions.

Too much?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Okay? Let's see is Lucky lucky again?

Too much is the answer? Anthony Edwards and Luca are
tied with nine forty point games. Question number three for
a man who legally is named lucky. Legally, this man's
name is Lucky. There are only seven players in NFL
history with more seasons of thirteen plus sacks than Trey Hendrickson,
(31:59):
who the Bengals decided not to franchise tag Is that
too much or not enough?
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Not enough?
Speaker 1 (32:11):
You sure about that?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
I'm not sure, but I'm gonna go with it.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
All right, Luck? The luck ran out? Now? Too much?
That's all right? You still got too right? There was
more questions. There are only five only five players in
NFL history with more seasons of thirteen or more sacks.

Karl Anthony Towns leads the NBA with thirty five double
doubles this season. Is that too much or not enough?
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Too much?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Are you sure about that?
Speaker 10 (33:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Because that's too much?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
No cats garbage. Let's find out. Ah Man, the luck's
running out here. Forty two believe it or not, forty
two double doubles. I do agree with you. In a
playoff game, I would not want Karl Anthony Towns on
my team. You know what I'm saying. Lucky, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 9 (33:19):
All right, come on, Lucky, you can do it.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
You can do it, Lucky.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Okay, I think I printed out the wrong copy for you. Yes,
you hear? Do you want to what's what's question fives?
I have? I have a repeat question, which I would
I think he would get right this time if I
gave it to him, I would hope. But yes, okay,
the the correct question is Jamiir Gibbs and David Montgomery
scored sixty five total touchdowns in games together. Is that
(33:49):
too much or not enough?
Speaker 10 (33:50):
You said?
Speaker 1 (33:51):
And and Montgomery, the David Montgomery who just got traded.
He got traded. The text that's too much, I see?
Is this is for the wind? Are you sure about that?
Speaker 10 (34:06):
Oh? Coop's using my line? There you go, come on,

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Get shorty, Get shorty,
Boom Shaka Laca. It's our nub birth three and we're
talking pro bouncy ball here in our number three. And
oh what a night. It was an NBA game where
a team led by forty nine points was the most compelling,
most entertaining NBA broadcast all year. How did the NBC
(00:23):
throwback NBA broadcast work for you? As Bob Costas and
Doug Collins, the tzar of the telestrator Mike Fortello all
joined forces. Yet again, we'll discuss what it was like
to watch that game. Also, Lakers podcast coach JJ Reddick
says he's good with Luka Nancik and that they have
(00:44):
a great relationship despite getting into a sideline tiff the
other day, how do you see that one? And in baseball,
just jerks and Profar regret being one of the biggest
knuckleheads in recent baseball history. In the Atlanta Rayvufielders suspended
for one hundred and sixty two games the entire season,
(01:05):
he's dipped his hand in the ped cookie jar. Yet again,
we'll talk about that and much more right now, including
the Queen of Hearts with the Lorena. It's our number three.
It was an instant classic not on the scoreboard, No no,
no Welcome. In the beginning of another hour of the

(03:06):
from pro Bouncy Ball. Now, as you know, if you
pay close attention, you might not. I'm gonna assume that
you do pay somewhat close attention to the show that
we do a nightly show here right, We do a
nightly show and the podcast on the weekends. And as
I'm getting ready for the show, I normally have a
game on in the background, just keep an eye on,
(03:27):
not necessarily watching it. It's just kind of background noise,
and occasionally I'll look up if something exciting happens, and
if it's a really good game, I'll pay really good
attention to it, like playoff games and things like that.
But typically during the week slim pickets, slim pickets. So
I bring this up. It is pro Bouncy about so
wemby the Parisian prodigy Victor Wambanyama and the Spurs continued
(03:52):
their rodeo trop. I think this is like the end
of it. I believe, so they were in Philadelphia the
Delaware Valley to take on the seventy six and that
was a game that really wasn't much of a game.
You see, the Spurs San Antonio never trailed in the game.
They led by as many as forty nine forty nine
(04:13):
point lead at one point, ended up winning by close
to that, blowing the doors off Kerffleuey to the team
from Philadelphia. So why are we mentioning this game? Why
was this game the coolest NBA game of the entire season?
What made this night different than all other nights?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Maybe not? Maybe not? So this was the vintage broadcast
of the NBA. And we mentioned this in a previous
episode of the show, and there it was caught our attention.
I didn't have the game on mute. I had to
sound up. I normally mute it because the announcers annoy me,
(04:59):
but I had the audio going. I was enjoying this.
It was Bob Costas and Doug Collins and Mike Rattello,
the headliners on the NBA on NBC Throwback Broadcast, throw
Back Broadcast. Did you watch any of this? No bad
(05:19):
job by you. You should have watched it, all right, So,
that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
the question how did the NBA on NBC throwback broadcast
work for you? How did it work for you? So
I've got porn Hub, Electromagnetic and super Big Gulp, and
(05:41):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to snap our fingers, is what we're going
to do, because I felt like snapping my fingers, like,
what is going on here? Have I flashed back thirty years? Like? Seriously,
this game was a blowout, forty nine point leader one
point for the Spurs, and yet that game was fantabulous, fantemic.
(06:05):
It was extra schmaltzy. I don't normally like schmaltz, Buddy,
it was. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the schmaltz I did.
It was a trip down glory road, is what it was.
And it wasn't for people under the age of thirty
or even thirty five. I would say, but X marks
(06:25):
the spot, jen X and above the boomers anyone in
the older demo. Man, was that good jack pot jack
Pot on the broadcast? It should have been sponsored. I
was texting a buddy and I was also watching the game,
and I said this should be sponsored by Pornhub. And
(06:46):
my buddy texts me when you lose it, he stupid,
And I said, no, no, it should be sponsored by
pornhub because it's pure, uncut sports nostalgia porn. That broadcast
was nothing but sports nostalgia porn. That's what that was, right, NBC.
They might as well have rolled out the DeLorean. I
(07:07):
know that was from the eighties, but roll out the
DeLorean right back to the future. They've made some back
to the Future movies in the nineties.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Two.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Crank that baby up to eighty eight miles an hour
and suddenly it's nineteen ninety six again. Yeah. And then
to add on to the night, things lining up in
a row. The Great Steve de Sager came into where
I was hiding out in the back. Here down this
(07:33):
you out the door to my right, you go down
a little hall, make a right, you then make a left,
go down a long hall. Then you have to make
another left and then and then go down to the
end of that and then you make a little left.
And then there's a room in the back and that's
where I hang out. And De Sager comes in there
and he hands me a photo that me and him
(07:57):
took together in the dugout at Dodge Stadium playing in
the immediate baseball game. I said, what year is that?
Nineteen ninety six? Holy crap, thirty years ago, I said,
my guy, unbelievable. But listen, this thing was amazing. I
loved it. You know, I hate everything as a talk
show host. I'm my default programming is to hate everything.
(08:18):
And there I was, I've become the old guy. And
I watched older geezers like Bob Cossas and Doug Collins
and Mike Rittello, the frickinsar of the Telestrader, and even
Jim Gray, who I just had on the podcast. He's
a listener. Jim who was at the Super Bowl radio row.
He came by, said hello. He was their court side
as always, like the nosy neighbor with a microphone and
(08:42):
all that. And they even had the pregame Hannah Storm.
She showed it. Where's she been? I don't know. Isaiah Thomas.
Isaiah seemed a little annoyed because he still does broadcasting
for NBA TV. I think he felt a little annoyed
that he was on the Old Timers broadcast, like I'm
not I shouldn't be here. I'm better than an old timer.
And then you had PJ Carlissimo, who's I just checked.
(09:04):
He just turned twelve hundred years old. And the good
news is Latrell Spreewell was not anywhere to be seen,
so PJ was okay. So it was like opening up
a time capsule watching this game that had been buried
underneath what used to be a Blockbuster video and it
was right next to a Toys r us you know,
and all that, and there was a radio strack in
(09:26):
that same thing. It was like, wow, that's pretty cool.
I enjoyed it. The presentation was solid. They really killed
the red round Ball Rock, which they've had this They
bought the rights to an NBC, so they had that.
That John Tesh song was blasting out of the boombox.
There was a lot of that. They had the retro
(09:47):
score bug, the grainy highlight packages. It was dusting off
whatever your old toys are, that the Ferbie, what a
night the care bears those old nineties toys. Mister potato head.
I don't know. I was all grown up in the nineties,
so I don't know what toys you had. Stretcher Armstrong
that was before that, I guess anyway, the game itself,
(10:08):
the game itself, dog Food, not all pro Alpo Alpo.
That was the game. The broadcast Cordon Bleue, Chef's Kiss,
Chef's Kiss, Blue Ribbon, Blue Ribbon for the broadcast of
the NBA on NBC. They killed it. And here's the thing,
(10:29):
Like NBC knows this and they really leaned into it,
and it's something that a lot of people don't want
to talk about because it's really troublesome for the sports industry,
Like it's the doomsday prophecies for the world of sports.
Like I grew up, I'm of the age sports were
a very big deal for me obviously, growing up right,
watching games, playing in the neighborhood with kids and stuff
(10:50):
like that. We had great memories as that doing that.
That's not the way obviously it is anymore. And I
know from doing the TV show for a couple of
years and talking to people who are executives on that end,
that's the feedback I've gotten. They've told me. I said, listen,
most of the people that are watching these games on
television are middle aged and older. Young people don't sit
(11:11):
down and watch games on television most of them don't,
and they just watch highlights on TikTok or Instagram or whatever.
They're not sitting down there and watching games, so they
should do more of this. They will see what the
I can't believe the ratings are gonna be any good.
The game was terrible, but for middle aged degenerates it
was amazing. It was like, Wow, this is great, loved it.
(11:35):
Didn't want the night to end. You know, I did
learn during the broadcast they Bob Costas had said they
wanted Marv Albert to do the game. Apparently Marv can't
do it. I guess he might have some health problems.
I don't know what's going on with mar but they
originally wanted Marv to do it. I didn't hear any
mention of Pete VESSI very better Pete VESSI didn't mention
his I didn't hear if it did happen, I didn't
(11:55):
hear it. Maybe I was getting snacks. I might have
been getting snacks. Well that was going on, but I
didn't hear his name come up. He had complained that
he wasn't part of the broadcast as well, so they
good job. They fed the right crow and we'll see
if they do. I guess they're gonna do another one,
at least one more before the season ends. All right. Now, Secondly,
follow up follow up Controversy of the Week, Controversy of
(12:17):
the Week dateline skid row that's where the Lakers play
skid row La and more on that viral, heated exchange
as Lakers star Loa Luka Dacik and podcaster JJ Reddick
getting into a kerfluffle during a recent game. Now, this is,
(12:41):
of course sparked questions, this viral kerfluffle. It is spark
questions about the relationship. What's really going on there? So
JJ Reddick before the Lakers played a team called the Pelicans.
How pathetic is that? Pelicans? My god? So JJ Reddick
was asked about the incident. Now do you think a
(13:03):
JJ Reddick said, yes, I can't stand Luca and he
hates me. Do you think he said, be no comment
or see claim. We're all good. We're all good? All right?
So I'm told this is long. Let's play a little
bit of this and then if I get bored with it,
I'll give you the parts that I like. But here
(13:24):
is the podcaster who's pretending to be doing cosplay as
an NBA coach. JJ Reddick, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I didn't think much of it at the time. To
be honest with you, I don't think Luca did either.
I mean, he and I have a great relationship. I
really value our relationship, and I think those things happen,
you know, not every game, but they happen very frequently,
and you know, sometimes you have to rehash them with
(13:52):
a player or you know, as a teammate. Sometimes it
happens player to player.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
It just it's it's a competition, and you know, there's
two guys here who, in this case are trying to
win a basketball game, and uh, i'd be on the
same page about stuff, and frankly, like you know, talking.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
About Okay, that's enough. That's it now. If you listen,
there was a tell in that that exposed JJ Reddick.
I don't know if you're the key parts of that
are Reddick. You heard it. He said we have a
great relationship and it's just competition. So the question the
(14:31):
Laker podcaster who's pretending to be the coach because he's
buddies with Lebron, JJ Reddick says that, again, he's good
with Luca and they have a great relationship, relationship, So
how do you see it?
Speaker 4 (14:44):
All? Right?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
So this is obviously a d C situation, not DC comics,
a damage control situation. But there was something in the
speech pattern of JJ Reddick that was a dead dead
by JJ kept saying the words you know, and that
is a little glitch when you say the words you know.
(15:09):
When people say that, it's often because they don't know
what they're talking about, or they're making something up because
they're lying and they're trying to remember what to say.
I'm telling you, if you know what you're saying, you
don't say you know, you know, you know, you know,
(15:31):
just like yeah, but yeah, but yeahbit yeabbitt rabbit, you know,
you know, you know, gotta go, you know, gotta go.
Uh yeah. So he's out there saying Reddick, Hey, everything's
great here with Luca, We're all good. Here to quote Shakespeare.
I like just making quotes up from Shakespeare because you
can do anything. Uh Shakespeare saying the fellow dath protest
(15:59):
too much, thinks right, methinks he argues far beyond what
the moment required. So the giveaway was that, you know,
that was the giveaway. The purple and Gold in general
and I saw this from some other stories that were
bouncing around as I was getting ready for the talk show.
(16:19):
The what I call purple and gold electro magnetic force
field that was activated. I found it nauseating. You can
tell that there isn't something more going on. Unless you
can tell there's something more going on, it's called underlying tension.
Underlying tension, like Luca basically showed up the head coach
(16:43):
of the Lakers on the court during a game on camera,
candid camera, and there's no other way to interpret that.
There's no other way to interpret that. These guys know
that the camera's always on them. It showed a complet
lack of respect for the coach. And I'm not sitting
here saying that Reddick deserves respect. He didn't deserve to
(17:06):
be the head coach of the Lakers. It is a
joke he got the job. It's an embarrassment for all coaches.
Total fraud JJ Reddick, and he's proven to be a
terrible head coach. With the talent they have, they're not
very good. They're not a serious championship level team. But
that aside. The rules have always been you can yell, scream,
(17:27):
and shout at your coach, you just do it behind
closed doors. The fact that this went public that cranks
it up a couple of notches. They're at loggerheads during
the game. Was it Jared Vanderbilt had to come over
and be the peacemaker. I believe it was him. I
(17:48):
believe it was him so doing it on camera. That's
the tell. That is absolutely tell. And there's pr garbage,
the Lakers leaking to their useful idiots, circling the wagon
and leaking to their useful idiots in the media. Everything's
great here, nothing to see. I'm not buying it for
a second. Meanwhile, we go to baseball, and if you
(18:10):
have Jerkson Profar on your fantasy baseball team, you are
a loser. The Atlanta Rieves said bye bye to Jerkson
Profar after Major League Baseball handed him a one hundred
and sixty two game suspension. He's a PD cheat. According
(18:30):
to Major League Baseball, a prepared statement was released. Profar
tested positive for a testosterone laced substance, a performance enhancing substance.
According to these scientists at Major League Baseball, and based
on the fact that this is his second violation, he
is going to forfeit his salary. This year. You canbine
(18:55):
this with the previous punishment and Jerkson Profar will have
lost over twenty million twenty million dollars doing the steroids question.
Does at Atlanta Brave soon to be former Atlanta Brave
outfielder Jerkson Profar regret being one of the biggest knuckleheads
(19:21):
in recent MLB history. So I have an unpopular opinion,
all right, I'm shaking my head. No unpopular opinion. I
do not believe if you gave Jerkson Profar trussorum, he
would say, oh, I made a mistake. I don't believe
that now. The mistake was getting caught. But in terms
of regrets, eh, I don't think so, And a lot
(19:45):
of people hate hearing that. Then the answers, no, he
does not have any regrets. Here's why this was a
fraud play from the very beginning. If you're dabbling in fraud,
then why would you be upset that it went the
way it went. You knew that was a risk going
in the old pump and dump scheme. If you will,
(20:07):
the Baseball edition Ponzie not Phonsie, the Ponzi scheme there
and think of it like the Bernie made Off playbook.
If you will you look at the timeline, no serious
look at the timeline. So for years Jerkson Profar was
a fringe, light hitting baseball player, not a terrible player,
(20:30):
but not a great player, just kind of a guy
that was the twenty four to twenty fifth guy on
your roster, and you'd play him at different positions and
all that. And then in twenty twenty three he betted
two forty with nine home runs and was getting paid
by baseball standards, not a lot. Two and a half
million dollars in baseball's not that much. He looked at
(20:51):
the timeline, looked at his age. He said, wait a minute,
I can get one more contract if I start putting
up cartoon numbers. One more, okay, put up cartoon numbers. Poof,
All of a sudden, he goes down to get the
super big gulp, and he gets that Jim juice flavor
of the super big gulp turns into the Credible Hark
(21:13):
Hulk for one year. One year, jerks and Profar was
the incredible Hulk. Has a big year. I think he
was a silver slugger, believe he was, and from life
support to coug boom, all of a sudden, performing spike
numbers explode. The Atlanta Braves are all hot and heavy.
They handed him a forty two million dollar contract to
(21:36):
come to Georgia like they were writing money to a
Nigerian prince that sent them email asking for money. Just
give me your bank account info and I'm gonna wire
you elevenka trillion dollars. Okay? Sure? Why not? Now? Even
after the suspension, Even after the suspension which is gonna
(21:56):
cost him twenty point eight million jerks, and Profar still
nets about twenty one million extra based on malar math accounting.
So why would you have regrets? You were going to
maybe get one more small contract, a year to year contract.
You went out. I don't know whether we went to
(22:17):
a pharmacy in Tijuana or wherever. Some guy named Hank
gave him. Hank in Tokyo gave him a bunch of stuff.
But he went out there and the Atlanta Braves got drifted.
Atlanta bought the fake Rolex. They bought the fake Rolex
at full price. They did. It is the Ben Maler Show.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
