Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number three, hour three of the show. We

The audio content does not stop here in our number three,
the latest stylings from pro Bouncy Ball, and how will
(00:24):
Joellen Bead's latest comments play out in Philadelphia? Is it
true that James Harden only wants a trade to the Clippers?
And what do you think of Doc Rivers being in
line to replace the fired Jeff Van Gundy on NBA
Network broadcast. We'll talk about all of those things and
(00:47):
much more right now here it is give it up
for our number three, A change of heart. Welcome, in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere, beside one another as
(01:09):
we dance with the devil, coast to coast, border, the.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Border and beyond.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Me.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So our lead this hour coming from Probouncy Ball, and
we go where the.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
News of the day takes us.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
In this case, that would be the City of Brotherly Love,
the Delaware Valley, a lot of moving parts. It's involving
the Sixers. But the story that is relatively new to
our ecosystem involves Joel and Bid, the reigning most valuable
player in the NBA, and he has decided he would
like to fill the collection kitty for this show and
(02:17):
fill the content kitty, and so he's doing it now.
If you did not hear what Joel Embiid had to say,
it is possible that you missed it. The loquacious Sixers
star sounds like a guy who's ready to leave the
people of Philadelphia. How do I know that I'm using
his own words, I'm weaponizing his own words. So he
(02:40):
recently appeared at a film festival in La La Land.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Of course, he's an NBA player, so he's getting into
the movie business. And rather than me give you the quote,
and I could do a hell of a Joel Embiid impersonation,
but rather than that, let's trust the process and take
a listen to a little snippet of Joel Embiid. He
is talking I think with Maverick Carter if I remember correctly.
But anyway, here's the conversation at a film festival recently
(03:07):
in Los Angeles. He's talking about his goals and listen close.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I'm just want with a championship. We know, whatever it takes.
I don't know what that's called. Meeting what is a
Philly Hills you know Edie Wells, you know, I just
want to have a chance to color psha that I
want to see what it feels like to win the
first one and then you can pick abob you know
the next one. You know it's not easy, but you
(03:33):
know he takes more than you know one, you know,
two to three outs. We will got to have a
you know, good people about you and you know myself,
you know every single day at walk Hall to you know,
be at that level so I can put you to
make it happen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So yeah, we put our microphone in Marino Valley and
Joelle was in West l a I think so that's
but we could hear what he said, and he said,
I want to win a champion ship and I don't
know where that's going to be, whether it's Philly or
anywhere else. That's the money quote, So let's talk about that.
(04:09):
And he also said you've got to be surrounded by
good people.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So Embiid now enters his eighth season. Where has the
time gone? Seventy six ers next upcoming NBA basketball season
was eighth in the league, and those quotes have been
bouncing around. At the same time, the franchise leaked out
to their buddies in the media that they think Embiid
wants to have a career akin to Kobe Bryant or
(04:34):
Dirk Noovichki. Clearly, I guess forgetting the fact that Kobe
Bryant desperately wanted to leave the Lakers and play for
the Chicago Bulls at one point and the Clippers at
one point, but we'll leave that aside. So the question,
as we discussed the question on this one, how will
Joellenbiid's latest commentary play out in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's the question. So I've got fourth Jet.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Blue and Die Die, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
delicious snicker doodle cookie, which was given the stamp of
approval by the Kooper Loop.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Is the greatest cookie.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Made yet in the Benny the Baker era, which is
coming to a pause, although other people saying I should
still bake cookies and not give up. But anyway, so
first of all, talking about Joel Embiid, the latest comments
of Embiid. We like Embiid, not that it matters. He
doesn't know who we are. We like Joel Embiid. He's
good for what we do here. He's got a charismatic persona.
(05:35):
It's good SoundBite, seems very approachable, he's charming. Those are
all wonderful things. Those are great qualities. And he was
able to guilt very impressively the NBA media to give
him a Most Valuable Player trophy he did not deserve.
Embiid was good, he wasn't as good as Nicola Yocus
during the regular season. It's not hindsight bias, we said
(05:56):
at the time. Now the last laugh went to the joke,
as he ended up getting the MVP of the NBA
Finals and all that, but he took advantage Embiid of
the power of the I ninety five corridor and taking
advantage of that to curry votes to win the Most
Valuable Player award.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
But on this.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Topic, get to the point. Please, on this topic, Joel
Embiid is using double talk. He is Embiid is forked
as in forked tongue. Is what he's doing here because
he's sending out mixed messages and he's clearly having some
trust issues. He doesn't trust the people around him in Philadelphia.
(06:38):
He said in that SoundBite, if you can make it out,
you gotta be surrounded by good people. And he must
think the people in Philadelphia at this point, maybe they're
not good and they're not helping him to the end
game there. He might have a problem with his nurse,
might need a new nurse to help him along. But
watching the bus terminal in in South Philly, there the Sixers'
(07:02):
locker room over the last few years, and the comings
and goings of Philadelphia pro Bouncy Ball, and Joel Embid's
relationship with the Sixers, is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It growing stale? Would he ever admit to it growing stale?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Is he looking to light a spark with the team
and maybe convince them to go out and do something
they wouldn't want to do. There, keeping them on their
toes at the very least, Joel embiid keeping them on their.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Toes, for example.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Speaking of that the second part of this Malard monologue,
is it true that James Harden only wants a trade
to the Clippers. No, We've talked about this over the
recent episodes of the show, and I am nodding my head. Yes,
I'm not in head. Yes, these streets have been talking,
and here's what they're saying. They're saying it's on brand
(07:53):
that all arrows are pointing at the same bullseye, the
same target here, and Harden is getting the sumo suit ready.
We talked about this and yesterday's program that there are
reports that James Harden has decided to spend some quality.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Time with the all you can eat buffet.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
He's up to the old Shenanigans he did in Houston
where the beard. Right now, he has a balanced diet
getting ready for the upcoming NBA season. He starts out
every morning with a couple of tasty cakes. He then
at lunch has some Philadelphia Bavarian pretzels, and then at
dinner time he has cheese steaks, double fisting cheese steaks,
(08:35):
and then he has a snack of a couple of
quarts of ice cream. And that's how he's getting ready,
getting in condition for the NBA season. He is James
Harden is domineering, is what he is. He's domineering. He
gets what he wants. And at this point, the Philadelphia
seventy six ers are flying on a Jet Blue Airlines
(08:58):
flight and the pilot has gone on the PA system
and says, ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on
the fasten your seat belts light and we are crossing
a zone of turbulence.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Please return to your seats and keep your seat belts fastened.
Thank you. That's what's going on. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And the Clippers, knowing that Harden only wants to play
for them, they are now in a position of strength.
I don't want to have much to do with James Harden,
but the Clippers clearly are interested in him. So here's
what they out of trade. They out of trade a
couple of canisters of leftover lasagna that Ralph Lawler, their
(09:40):
old play by play guy, left in the refrigerator at
the team facility. That tupperware with the old lasagna and
you can give that to Philadelphia and maybe maybe they'll
take it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
They might not, you know, they might not take it.
It is possible they will.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And I know for the ballet nance in Los Angeles
they really need James Harden because Harden is good for
the economy.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
He will take care.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
There's a lot of young ballet answers that want to
go to college and James Harden will pay for their
tuition and he'll help them out tremendously. Final thought, So
let's go to broadcasting now as we bounce around the
pro bouncy ball world. The interesting story that is not
surprising at all. It involves a number member who used
(10:27):
to be part of the Philadelphia sports scene, Glenn Rivers,
better known as a doctor. He's not but Glenn Rivers.
He got the nickname Doc because his favorite player was
Doctor J back in the day. Anyway, So Doc Rivers
and Doris Burke are supposed to be in the driver's
(10:47):
seat to replace Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy as
the lead commentators with Mike Breen on ABC's top NBA
broadcast team. Now, Doc Rivers was unceremoniously dumped by the
Sixers after their latest playoff flop, the old flopperou.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So let's talk about this for a couple of minutes.
So the move here.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
What do you think of Doc Rivers in line to
replace Jeff Van Gundy on Network NBA broadcast. So my
initial thought is.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Downgrade, down, down, down, downgrade.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Is that's my initial that it's akin if you like
a burger going from eating in and out burger and
then you go to Burger King. Now some people love
Burger King. I have nothing against Burger King, but it's
not as good as in and out. So you'd rather
have the in and out burger, but you can. You
have to settle for the Burger King with the whopper,
you got to settle for that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And this is a whopper of a story. Van Gundy.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
We believe the conspiracy theory that he was forced out
because people of the league office did not like that.
Van Gundy continued to poke the dragon and the dragon
breathed fire and Van Gundy went away. Now Doc Rivers
is debonair NBA. Media love Doc Rivers. He is the
(12:09):
media's sweetheart, is.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
What he is.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
He waxes, loquacious and he has a chronic case of
verbal die die diarrhea.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, verbal die die diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Watching him coach the Lobb City Clippers back in the day,
we always thought watching Doc Rivers attempt to coach that
team in key moments of playoff games that his calling
his highest level.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Of incompetence was broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And I, to my last breath on this mortal coil,
will believe the most improbable championship in NBA history, the
Boston Celtics, with Doc Rivers coaching that team. And I
don't know how he did it, Paul Pierce and that
group of Celtics Kevin Garnett, but they won with the
albatross Doc Rivers. And Doc will drive me nuts because
(13:02):
he'll get on TV and he'll kid around and joke
around and make his self deprecating and all that, and
people will love him. And he's also blamed other people
for his shortcomings, which of course we will we will
highlight and tackle jump on top of that. And as
for Doris Burke, I don't really care for her work.
(13:24):
I usually hit the mute button when she's on the broadcast,
so I guess I'll just hit the mute button some more.
And that's fine, but some people love her. I guess
I don't know. I don't know the fascination is with her,
but some people clearly appreciate her work. It is the

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, these are rip off, these are these are rogue actors.
Speaker 7 (16:46):

it was from Immaculate Grid.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
I mean he told me about the NHL one and
it was puck Roku.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I think it was.
Speaker 7 (16:57):

doesn't No one wants to be left standing out side
after the wordal uh.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, Roberto, our friend Roberto the bus driver text me.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And because there was a Dodger category, and I was
very proud of myself.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I had well, well no, I didn't need any my
help with that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But it was like two hundred strikeouts for the Dodgers,
and I picked Ramone Martinez, who had like zero point
three percent, picked vermone One. The only reason I remember
that I covered the game. He got the two hundred strikeout.
And here's a fun fact. So in the locker room,
you know how he take the photo with the baseball
with the two hundred on it. Ramone Martinez didn't want
(17:34):
the ball.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He gave it to me.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So somewhere in my storage, I have the two hundred
strikeout ball that Ramone Martinez took a photo with in
the Dodger.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Clubhouse because he didn't want it.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
That's really cool.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
The percentages on those immaculated good games or something I
don't get yet. Like Patrick was like haranguing me because
there was one category for an NFL one that was
Eagles and Lions, and I'm like, just put in Darius
Slay is like no, no, I need a look. Percentage one.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I was gonna ask, do you get more points if
it's a lower percentage?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
What points?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I mean the baseball one gives points, but this football
one doesn't appear to give points.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm looking at.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
Yeah, on the on the O g immaculate grid one,
you get like rarity points.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Yeah, so what do you spend those points on? Like
what do those points go towards?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Bragging rights streak?
Speaker 7 (18:19):
I but like the old, like when you would post
stuff like wordle onto Twitter, it's just hey, I got
all these right.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
I was excited to see this story from college football
where I saw that the Texas Oklahoma football matchup was
going back to its original name.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh, the red River Shootout.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Well that's what I thought.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Oh, but no, it went from the red River Showdown,
which it was called from twenty five to twenty thirteen,
back to the red River Rivalry. Now before for that
for many many years, of course, it was the red
River Shootout. They got rid of that because it was
too violent.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yes, because somebody hears that term and yeah, I just
want to go out and the same people, the same
people that say that are the same people that think
video games cause people.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
To heavy metal music.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yes, yes, these people. There's a word for these people, losers.
That is the word for these people.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
So my excitement about the Red River shootout returning was well,
didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Now, the first the first.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Week of college football is August twenty six, right, that's
the first weekend of college football.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
Is that correct, Eddy, I believe, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Saturday August I believe that is the first Saturday of
the college gridiron.
Speaker 9 (28:44):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I'm looking at some of the games here.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
We have Hawaii and Vanderbilt will play all right in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Vanderbilt is favorite. That game.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Tough game for San Diego State. They played the Ohio Bobcats.
It's a very tough game there. The Minutemen tough nickname
of you Mass will take on New Mexico State.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
These are some big matchups here.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Ready.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
The Midshipman and the Fighting Irish will play August twenty
six week once.
Speaker 9 (29:13):

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Right now. Who do we have here?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
We have Mark in Florida, who won the sweepstakes. Hello,
Mark in Florida.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Hello, man, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You sound like you're overwhelmed with emotion. You sound very
excited by this.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Well, it's four twenty nine, Lamora. Then I can't sleep.
I'm like, I'm going to come up and go for
a walk.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh, I'm sorry about that. Yeah, it's nice to you
to wait for the sun to come up though, until
you're going for a walk. That's kind of you to
do that.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah, we can't go.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
You can't go walking in the dark around here.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh you live in a bad part of what part
of Florida?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Are you in?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Delray Beach?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah? What's what's wrong with Delray Beach? A lot of
crime there.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Oh, we had a bail man get shot a couple
of months ago.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
It's not very good.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
It's not very good.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
You got gators around there? Are they any gators?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Oh? Yeah, there's a fourteen foot gator.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
See that's why I wouldn't walk, because I'd be worried
about getting eaten by a gator.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, a baby or an old person.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
See, what what do you do if a gator? What's
the protocol? If a gator attacks you?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
They sing to run the sight of the zigzag motion.
The gator's legs are too short to go in the
z egxag motions instead of just running straight up and down.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Actually, so the gator.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
What happens if you're running a zigzag where the gator
just get frustrated and give up, or where the gator
like flip on its back.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I don't know. I can go walk around the lake
and try and find out. For you.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Probably not a good idea to try that, in case
you're wrong. In case what your your strategy is.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Not worth Hold on a sect there, Mark who can't sleep,
So he's calling the show and he's going to play

It's our number three, hour three of the show. We

could hear all the fun and it never stops the content.
The audio content does not stop here in our number three,
the latest stylings from pro Bouncy Ball, and how will
(00:24):
Joellen Bead's latest comments play out in Philadelphia? Is it
true that James Harden only wants a trade to the Clippers?
And what do you think of Doc Rivers being in
line to replace the fired Jeff Van Gundy on NBA
Network broadcast. We'll talk about all of those things and
(00:47):
much more right now here it is give it up
for our number three, A change of heart. Welcome, in
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.
We are in the air everywhere, beside one another as
(01:09):
we dance with the devil, coast to coast, border, the.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Border and beyond.
Speaker 2 (01:13):

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Me.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So our lead this hour coming from Probouncy Ball, and
we go where the.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
News of the day takes us.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
In this case, that would be the City of Brotherly Love,
the Delaware Valley, a lot of moving parts. It's involving
the Sixers. But the story that is relatively new to
our ecosystem involves Joel and Bid, the reigning most valuable
player in the NBA, and he has decided he would
like to fill the collection kitty for this show and
(02:17):
fill the content kitty, and so he's doing it now.
If you did not hear what Joel Embiid had to say,
it is possible that you missed it. The loquacious Sixers
star sounds like a guy who's ready to leave the
people of Philadelphia. How do I know that I'm using
his own words, I'm weaponizing his own words. So he
(02:40):
recently appeared at a film festival in La La Land.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Here.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Of course, he's an NBA player, so he's getting into
the movie business. And rather than me give you the quote,
and I could do a hell of a Joel Embiid impersonation,
but rather than that, let's trust the process and take
a listen to a little snippet of Joel Embiid. He
is talking I think with Maverick Carter if I remember correctly.
But anyway, here's the conversation at a film festival recently
(03:07):
in Los Angeles. He's talking about his goals and listen close.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I'm just want with a championship. We know, whatever it takes.
I don't know what that's called. Meeting what is a
Philly Hills you know Edie Wells, you know, I just
want to have a chance to color psha that I
want to see what it feels like to win the
first one and then you can pick abob you know
the next one. You know it's not easy, but you
(03:33):
know he takes more than you know one, you know,
two to three outs. We will got to have a
you know, good people about you and you know myself,
you know every single day at walk Hall to you know,
be at that level so I can put you to
make it happen.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
So yeah, we put our microphone in Marino Valley and
Joelle was in West l a I think so that's
but we could hear what he said, and he said,
I want to win a champion ship and I don't
know where that's going to be, whether it's Philly or
anywhere else. That's the money quote, So let's talk about that.
(04:09):
And he also said you've got to be surrounded by
good people.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So Embiid now enters his eighth season. Where has the
time gone? Seventy six ers next upcoming NBA basketball season
was eighth in the league, and those quotes have been
bouncing around. At the same time, the franchise leaked out
to their buddies in the media that they think Embiid
wants to have a career akin to Kobe Bryant or
(04:34):
Dirk Noovichki. Clearly, I guess forgetting the fact that Kobe
Bryant desperately wanted to leave the Lakers and play for
the Chicago Bulls at one point and the Clippers at
one point, but we'll leave that aside. So the question,
as we discussed the question on this one, how will
Joellenbiid's latest commentary play out in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (04:52):
That's the question. So I've got fourth Jet.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Blue and Die Die, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
delicious snicker doodle cookie, which was given the stamp of
approval by the Kooper Loop.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Is the greatest cookie.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Made yet in the Benny the Baker era, which is
coming to a pause, although other people saying I should
still bake cookies and not give up. But anyway, so
first of all, talking about Joel Embiid, the latest comments
of Embiid. We like Embiid, not that it matters. He
doesn't know who we are. We like Joel Embiid. He's
good for what we do here. He's got a charismatic persona.
(05:35):
It's good SoundBite, seems very approachable, he's charming. Those are
all wonderful things. Those are great qualities. And he was
able to guilt very impressively the NBA media to give
him a Most Valuable Player trophy he did not deserve.
Embiid was good, he wasn't as good as Nicola Yocus
during the regular season. It's not hindsight bias, we said
(05:56):
at the time. Now the last laugh went to the joke,
as he ended up getting the MVP of the NBA
Finals and all that, but he took advantage Embiid of
the power of the I ninety five corridor and taking
advantage of that to curry votes to win the Most
Valuable Player award.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
But on this.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Topic, get to the point. Please, on this topic, Joel
Embiid is using double talk. He is Embiid is forked
as in forked tongue. Is what he's doing here because
he's sending out mixed messages and he's clearly having some
trust issues. He doesn't trust the people around him in Philadelphia.
(06:38):
He said in that SoundBite, if you can make it out,
you gotta be surrounded by good people. And he must
think the people in Philadelphia at this point, maybe they're
not good and they're not helping him to the end
game there. He might have a problem with his nurse,
might need a new nurse to help him along. But
watching the bus terminal in in South Philly, there the Sixers'
(07:02):
locker room over the last few years, and the comings
and goings of Philadelphia pro Bouncy Ball, and Joel Embid's
relationship with the Sixers, is.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It growing stale? Would he ever admit to it growing stale?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Is he looking to light a spark with the team
and maybe convince them to go out and do something
they wouldn't want to do. There, keeping them on their
toes at the very least, Joel embiid keeping them on their.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Toes, for example.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Speaking of that the second part of this Malard monologue,
is it true that James Harden only wants a trade
to the Clippers. No, We've talked about this over the
recent episodes of the show, and I am nodding my head. Yes,
I'm not in head. Yes, these streets have been talking,
and here's what they're saying. They're saying it's on brand
(07:53):
that all arrows are pointing at the same bullseye, the
same target here, and Harden is getting the sumo suit ready.
We talked about this and yesterday's program that there are
reports that James Harden has decided to spend some quality.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Time with the all you can eat buffet.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
He's up to the old Shenanigans he did in Houston
where the beard. Right now, he has a balanced diet
getting ready for the upcoming NBA season. He starts out
every morning with a couple of tasty cakes. He then
at lunch has some Philadelphia Bavarian pretzels, and then at
dinner time he has cheese steaks, double fisting cheese steaks,
(08:35):
and then he has a snack of a couple of
quarts of ice cream. And that's how he's getting ready,
getting in condition for the NBA season. He is James
Harden is domineering, is what he is. He's domineering. He
gets what he wants. And at this point, the Philadelphia
seventy six ers are flying on a Jet Blue Airlines
(08:58):
flight and the pilot has gone on the PA system
and says, ladies and gentlemen, the captain has turned on
the fasten your seat belts light and we are crossing
a zone of turbulence.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Please return to your seats and keep your seat belts fastened.
Thank you. That's what's going on. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
And the Clippers, knowing that Harden only wants to play
for them, they are now in a position of strength.
I don't want to have much to do with James Harden,
but the Clippers clearly are interested in him. So here's
what they out of trade. They out of trade a
couple of canisters of leftover lasagna that Ralph Lawler, their
(09:40):
old play by play guy, left in the refrigerator at
the team facility. That tupperware with the old lasagna and
you can give that to Philadelphia and maybe maybe they'll
take it.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
They might not, you know, they might not take it.
It is possible they will.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
And I know for the ballet nance in Los Angeles
they really need James Harden because Harden is good for
the economy.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
He will take care.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
There's a lot of young ballet answers that want to
go to college and James Harden will pay for their
tuition and he'll help them out tremendously. Final thought, So
let's go to broadcasting now as we bounce around the
pro bouncy ball world. The interesting story that is not
surprising at all. It involves a number member who used
(10:27):
to be part of the Philadelphia sports scene, Glenn Rivers,
better known as a doctor. He's not but Glenn Rivers.
He got the nickname Doc because his favorite player was
Doctor J back in the day. Anyway, So Doc Rivers
and Doris Burke are supposed to be in the driver's
(10:47):
seat to replace Mark Jackson and Jeff Van Gundy as
the lead commentators with Mike Breen on ABC's top NBA
broadcast team. Now, Doc Rivers was unceremoniously dumped by the
Sixers after their latest playoff flop, the old flopperou.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So let's talk about this for a couple of minutes.
So the move here.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
What do you think of Doc Rivers in line to
replace Jeff Van Gundy on Network NBA broadcast. So my
initial thought is.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Downgrade, down, down, down, downgrade.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Is that's my initial that it's akin if you like
a burger going from eating in and out burger and
then you go to Burger King. Now some people love
Burger King. I have nothing against Burger King, but it's
not as good as in and out. So you'd rather
have the in and out burger, but you can. You
have to settle for the Burger King with the whopper,
you got to settle for that.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And this is a whopper of a story. Van Gundy.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
We believe the conspiracy theory that he was forced out
because people of the league office did not like that.
Van Gundy continued to poke the dragon and the dragon
breathed fire and Van Gundy went away. Now Doc Rivers
is debonair NBA. Media love Doc Rivers. He is the
(12:09):
media's sweetheart, is.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
What he is.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
He waxes, loquacious and he has a chronic case of
verbal die die diarrhea.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah, verbal die die diarrhea.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Watching him coach the Lobb City Clippers back in the day,
we always thought watching Doc Rivers attempt to coach that
team in key moments of playoff games that his calling
his highest level.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Of incompetence was broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
And I, to my last breath on this mortal coil,
will believe the most improbable championship in NBA history, the
Boston Celtics, with Doc Rivers coaching that team. And I
don't know how he did it, Paul Pierce and that
group of Celtics Kevin Garnett, but they won with the
albatross Doc Rivers. And Doc will drive me nuts because
(13:02):
he'll get on TV and he'll kid around and joke
around and make his self deprecating and all that, and
people will love him. And he's also blamed other people
for his shortcomings, which of course we will we will
highlight and tackle jump on top of that. And as
for Doris Burke, I don't really care for her work.
(13:24):
I usually hit the mute button when she's on the broadcast,
so I guess I'll just hit the mute button some more.
And that's fine, but some people love her. I guess
I don't know. I don't know the fascination is with her,
but some people clearly appreciate her work. It is the

Immaculate Grid now has like hockey and football as well.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Well, these are rip off, these are these are rogue actors.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Someone someone else in Fox, but I think it was
Brandon was playing like an NFL one that looked like
it was from Immaculate Grid.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
I mean he told me about the NHL one and
it was puck Roku.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
I think it was.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
Called Yeah, everyone's getting in on these things now, ever,
doesn't No one wants to be left standing out side
after the wordal uh.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Well, Roberto, our friend Roberto the bus driver text me.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
And because there was a Dodger category, and I was
very proud of myself.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I had well, well no, I didn't need any my
help with that.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
But it was like two hundred strikeouts for the Dodgers,
and I picked Ramone Martinez, who had like zero point
three percent, picked vermone One. The only reason I remember
that I covered the game. He got the two hundred strikeout.
And here's a fun fact. So in the locker room,
you know how he take the photo with the baseball
with the two hundred on it. Ramone Martinez didn't want
(17:34):
the ball.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
He gave it to me.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
So somewhere in my storage, I have the two hundred
strikeout ball that Ramone Martinez took a photo with in
the Dodger.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Clubhouse because he didn't want it.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
That's really cool.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
The percentages on those immaculated good games or something I
don't get yet. Like Patrick was like haranguing me because
there was one category for an NFL one that was
Eagles and Lions, and I'm like, just put in Darius
Slay is like no, no, I need a look. Percentage one.
Speaker 6 (18:00):
I was gonna ask, do you get more points if
it's a lower percentage?
Speaker 7 (18:04):
What points?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
I mean the baseball one gives points, but this football
one doesn't appear to give points.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I'm looking at.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
Yeah, on the on the O g immaculate grid one,
you get like rarity points.
Speaker 7 (18:13):
Yeah, so what do you spend those points on? Like
what do those points go towards?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Bragging rights streak?

Speaker 6 (27:31):
I was excited to see this story from college football
where I saw that the Texas Oklahoma football matchup was
going back to its original name.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Oh, the red River Shootout.
Speaker 9 (27:45):
Well that's what I thought.
Speaker 6 (27:46):
Oh, but no, it went from the red River Showdown,
which it was called from twenty five to twenty thirteen,
back to the red River Rivalry. Now before for that
for many many years, of course, it was the red
River Shootout. They got rid of that because it was
too violent.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yes, because somebody hears that term and yeah, I just
want to go out and the same people, the same
people that say that are the same people that think
video games cause people.
Speaker 9 (28:16):
To heavy metal music.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Yes, yes, these people. There's a word for these people, losers.
That is the word for these people.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
So my excitement about the Red River shootout returning was well,
didn't happen?

Mark in Florida.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Hello, man, how's it going?
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
You sound like you're overwhelmed with emotion. You sound very
excited by this.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Well, it's four twenty nine, Lamora. Then I can't sleep.
I'm like, I'm going to come up and go for
a walk.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh, I'm sorry about that. Yeah, it's nice to you
to wait for the sun to come up though, until
you're going for a walk. That's kind of you to
do that.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
Yeah, we can't go.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
You can't go walking in the dark around here.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Oh you live in a bad part of what part
of Florida?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Are you in?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Delray Beach?
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah? What's what's wrong with Delray Beach? A lot of
crime there.
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Oh, we had a bail man get shot a couple
of months ago.
Speaker 1 (30:36):

Speaker 9 (30:37):
It's not very good.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
You got gators around there? Are they any gators?
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Oh? Yeah, there's a fourteen foot gator.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
See that's why I wouldn't walk, because I'd be worried
about getting eaten by a gator.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Yeah, a baby or an old person.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
See, what what do you do if a gator? What's
the protocol? If a gator attacks you?
Speaker 3 (30:56):
They sing to run the sight of the zigzag motion.
The gator's legs are too short to go in the
z egxag motions instead of just running straight up and down.
Speaker 9 (31:06):
Yeah that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Actually, so the gator.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
What happens if you're running a zigzag where the gator
just get frustrated and give up, or where the gator
like flip on its back.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
I don't know. I can go walk around the lake
and try and find out. For you.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Probably not a good idea to try that, in case
you're wrong. In case what your your strategy is.
