Speaker 1 (02:41):
So we go to pro bouncy Ball. That is our
lead story this hour.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
One of the bright stars is expected to shine again.
As we're doing this here early on Friday tonight. If
you didn't hear about it, maybe not. We've learned that
the Celtic superstar Jason Tatum is expect to make his
season debut against the mav Rex and that'll take place
(03:08):
at the Garden there tonight in Boston. Tatum's return will
be less than ten months after Snapcrackle Pop to the
Achilles Tendon. Now Boston, led by Jalen Brown, who is
a MVP candidate, not the favorite, but an MVP candidate,
has the Celtics in second place. I believe there is
(03:28):
still in second place there in the Eastern Conference standings.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So there is some noise. There's some noise there.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And we had a caller the other day from Maine
who brought this up and it's like, oh, come on,
it's ridiculous, and there's some things being tossed out in
the echo chamber that Jason Tatum's return is going to be.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
A body blow, body blow to the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here, their lineup and he's going to mess. I love
this with the quote teen chemistry close quote. It's gonna
be a problem here. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And we're just gonna We're gonna lean into this spare
with me.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is this the beginning of the Celtics are better off
without Jason Tatum conversation he's returning the lineup?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is this the beginning of, Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The Celtics are just better off without Jason Tatum? Is
this the conversation? So I my take on this, I've
got political campaign, CTN and AMC theaters and we will
combine all of.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
These things together and we are going to have.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
An amazing, amazing plate of Teriokey chicken. All right. So
to tip off, though, you better believe I don't agree
with this, but you better.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Believe the Whisper campaign it's already out there.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We had the guy call up the other day, as
I said, and ranting about this topic. And now it's
bouncing all over the place. But it isn't Tatum, who
has not even laced it up in a real game,
hasn't put the sneakers on playing in the real.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Game as we're doing this, and already the.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Industrial complex of hot take artists is pounding the drum
like it's panic.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
At the disco night at the Garden like, this is
not a real problem. You know what this is for
the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It is a champagne problem. So you're telling me the
team's overachieved. It wasn't just Tatum they got rid of.
They got rid of a bunch of guys. Porzingis who's
always heard in average al Al Horford, he left and
Drew Holliday.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
They got a real bunch of guys. They got to
a bunch of guys.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
And so.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's this is a good thing. If Boston stumbles and
there will be some losses, there's only a Most teams
have about less than twenty games to go in this season,
and Boston's gonna lose a couple of games they shouldn't lose.
But the moment they stumble a little bit with Tatum
in there, the finger pointing is going to begin. Immediately,
(06:01):
point the finger at your Jason, point the finger. Welcome
to the NBA ecosystem. And I was trying to think,
does this happen anywhere else? Does this happen in the NFL?
When your star quar quarterback has hurt, your backup goes in,
you win a couple of games to peep, well, you
shouldn't change the quarterback Well, yeah, quarterback A is ten
(06:21):
times better than quarterback B though, But I know in
basketball it's like a political campaign. You're always one bad
game away from a absolute smear campaign. Just mud slinging
and all that. Now for me and I don't have
a dog in the fight. The bigger issue with this story,
(06:43):
and it's been this way for the last fifteen years
or so, the issue I have with this is the
dreaded minutes restriction theater, which the Celtics will be taking
part in.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The word is that Tatum.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They're gonna roll him out with training wheel on no
back to backs, limit minutes. They're gonna limit the amount
of time he's on the court. He's going to be
treated like he's an artifact at a museum. They're gonna
put him behind glass. And this is one of my
big pet peeves with the modern zeitgeist in sports, and
(07:18):
basketball more than the other sports.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It really gets.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Under my skin here. The minutes restriction in basketball is
voodoo science is what it is. You're either ready to
play and you can play, or you're not ready to play.
It's like are you pregnant or not pregnant? Either you're
pregnant and you could have a baby if the pregnancy
(07:45):
goes all the way through, or you're not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But either way, there's not a lot of gray area here.
So that's always been my point.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
So the crowd, and I've never had someone explain to me,
never had someone explain to me the logic behind the
minutes restriction.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So let me get this straight.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So if Tatum, let's say he comes out, plays twenty
five minutes, everything is sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. Everyone gets
a lolli. If Tatum plays twenty seven minutes, suddenly his
achilles goes kaboom and it'll look like lumpy cauliflower.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Is that what we're supposed to believe?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is that how this works? Am I getting it right?
It's medical guess work dressed up as strategy and nobody
knows anything.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is vodoo bugaloo.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Is what it is? All right? Now?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Furthermore, a long standing punching bag on this show.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
We have not done many of these monologues about this
guy in a number of years, but we go to Milwaukee.
The word is that Glen Rivers, better known as a doc.
He's as much a doc as Doc Mike in Chicago.
So we're hearing now that Doc Rivers is planning to
retie as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Our former Fox
(09:04):
Sports radio morning host Stephen Smith, you know what he's
doing now.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
For some reason, he uses his middle initial because his
name is Stephen Smith.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Anyway, Doc, he said, Doc Rivers is going to retire
at the end of this season. He's been coaching for
almost twenty five years and that will be all. She
wrote for Glenn Rivers. So the question, the report that
Doc Rivers plans to retire as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Who is dumb enough to buy this? Anyone want to
(09:36):
raise their hands? I'm looking, I'm looking to the I'm
looking to the right. I don't see any hands raised.
I'm looking. I think there might be one guy in
the middle of the back, and then I don't see
anyone of the left. So yeah, you would have to
have a brain made out of playdough, playdough to believe
(09:58):
this Doc is not tiring.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
What Doc Rivers is doing is evacuating the.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Building in Milwaukee before the roof comes crashing down and collapses.
It's the old CTN maneuver. What is this CTN, mover,
I'm not talking about the Christian Television Network. CTN is
controlling the narrative. You gotta control the narrative. You gotta
be out ahead of the narrative. If you say, hey,
I quit, I'm a quitter, which is what he's doing,
(10:28):
everyone looks down upon you.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh, you shouldn't quit. You shouldn't be a quitter.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You shouldn't do that. Yeah, the mystery comes in if
you say, well, listen, I'm gonna retire, because then everyone's like, oh,
all sins are forgiven again.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
If you quit, you look like a failure. If you retire,
we're all good.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Milwaukee hired Doc Rivers like he was gonna be magical
duct tape or some kind of glue to fix the
oaken thing of a jig and the dow Hickey that
wasn't working. There were some concerns that Yannis was going
to be able or was planning to leave, even a
(11:09):
couple of years ago. And it's like, well, we got
to make sure, Yanna says, so let's hire Doc Rivers.
Don't worry. Doc Rivers is a people person. He's lovable.
Doc Rivers. He's got the Svengali effect. And he'll smooth
things over with Yannis. Yeah, how do you like them apples?
How'd that work out? So the team has been operating
(11:31):
in Milwaukee like a Golden Corral buffet where the staff
has gone home and all that is left is some
cold mashed potatoes. That's it. They're not even garlic mashed potatoes.
They're just cold mashed potatoes. And he's been essentially a
five hundred coach in Milwaukee. No playoff series wins, no bite, nothing,
(11:54):
and Yannis is planning to leave. Meanwhile, Yannis is scrolling
Zillow right now, looking at condos in.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Miami, and he's like, I mean, let me see what's.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Going on in New York. Maybe I get a place
on the upper east Side, get a place I want
a view of Central Park? Do Maybe I don't want
to damn more lower. I don't know. Maybe I live
in the village.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So he's looking and so the Bucks have been dealing
with Doc Rivers not upgrading the team in terms of
their performance, and once the Greek Creek enters the transfer portal,
which is expected to be this summer, the Bucks will
go from.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Fear the Deer to road killed deer where.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sir scratch Off is going to drive over to I
ninety four, pick that up and have that for dinner.
That's good eating, Sir scratch Offf's going to say that deer,
that's good eating. So he's got Doc Rivers channeling his
favorite cartoon as a kid, Looney Tunes, Porky Pig. That's
all folks, And then that's it, and so Doc will
(12:58):
then slide back.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
To the boob tube.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
He'll do some bad TV because they can't seem to
find anyone that knows what they're doing. The broadcast NBA
games over there, it's a hot mess. So he'll do TV,
pretend like nothing happened. And then he's just gonna sit
there and.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Wait for the next billionaire Oli gark who's dumb, du dumb, dumb.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Dumb and says, oh, I like the way Doc does
that TV, Let's hire him as our coach. He's a
championship coach. And again, the single most amazing championship in
my life. It is not the Toronto Raptors. Many people
say the Toronto Raptors because that team should never win
right there, Toronto. No, the team that is the most shocking,
(13:41):
the Doc Rivers coached Boston Celtics back in eight with
Paul Pierce. The fact that that team overcame Doc Rivers
to win a championship. What a testimonial to Ray Allen
and Paul Pierce and all those guys, Kevin Garnett and
all those guys in Boston.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
All right, last thing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I didn't think this was going to be on my
radar when I went to bed last night. But we
go now to or actually not last night, yesterday d'ur
in the morning, we go to Bakersfield, California, home of
a legendary Mallard meet and greet hosted by the Ambassador
of Bakersfield. Rod had a great time there with Rod
and his wife, had a funder one fun little get together,
had a nice dinner, great restaurant there in Bakersfield. Then
(14:22):
went out and we burned up and we had That
was the game Air Force. Andrew showed up at got
kicked out by the second inning, and then snuck back
in and got kicked out again. Yeah, I was a
wild night, wild night, and Bakersfield threw out the first
pitch team went out of business.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Anyway, why are we going to Bakersfield College? Basket will
you see the story. This is a humdinger of a story,
a hum dinger for story.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So Kevin Mays not Billy May's Hi, Billy May's here. No,
this is Kevin Mays. I just realized that Billy masling
doesn't work. He's been dead for a while. And I
don't think anyone who's under the ag toil like thirty
even knows who Billy Mays is. But whatever, So Kevin
Mays no relation a former assistant coach for cal State
(15:09):
Bakersfield the road Runners. That's right. For the first time ever,
we are doing a Mallard monologue on cal State Bakersfield basketball.
The Fox Sports Radio network has now reached a new low.
How low can you go? Well, this is a good
story and it has to be a good story for
us to talk about. So Kevin May's cow State Bakersfield
(15:30):
basketball was a trending topic. It went viral on social media.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
So if you didn't see this.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Maybe you're not on social media. Good for you. You're
a better person. It went viral because this guy had
a side hustle. Yeah, so what do you think this
guy was doing? What do you think do you think
he was selling crypto on the side and that was
illegal or something like that. Maybe he had a lollipop
business that he was doing. Was he selling illegal sports
(15:59):
merchant out of the back of his station wagon?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah. According to the local police, they the allegation is
that Kevin May's former assistant coach at cal State Bakersfield,
was moonlighting trying to make some extra money as a pimp. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Let me repeat that. A pimp, p I m p pimp?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
All right, question, So how does this cal State Bakersfield
coach working as a pimp? Story hit you? So I
saw this and I left it to the side. I
was like, okay, that that's not real, that's satire. He's
another one of these moments where I was like, Okay,
(16:47):
that's NBA sentel. They haven't done anything in a while,
so that's NBA sentel that I thought it was my
buddy Sports Talk Barry, who I had on the podcast.
I thought maybe the Sports Talk Barry. Is it butt
Crack Sports? Are they still around? No? No, it's not them.
Who could it be? And then I was like, wait
a minute, this is popping up in the mainstream here.
(17:10):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
And it's the real deal? Big West?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Now Cal State Bakers who plays in the Big West.
So Big West, big pimp. That is where we are now.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So the story hit me.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I wanted to go to an AMC theater and get
a big bucket of popcorn. I want to get a
big bucket of popcorn extra butter. I'm pretty sure the
people over at Netflix are already bidding on the rights
to the docu series.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I can think of the name like.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Baker's Field, Hustle, Secrets behind the Scoreboard, Coaching and crime
collide in the shadows.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And according to the report, this guy Mays is.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The allegation is he was operating a multi state pimp
ring for states California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. So I'm
sorry to Idaho, New Mexico. You guys didn't get any
of his services. And that is more than a sidehot.
So that's like the entire Big West conference schedule multitasking.
(18:16):
Some some coaches like to run the zone defense. Other
coaches like to run Internet, not Internet like interstate commerce.
I guess it was probably on the Internet too, so
that is a new wrinkle. The transfer portal takes a
whole new meeting for this guy, and in his case,
nil stands for now. It's ladies apparently now it's much
(18:40):
different than name, image likeness.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
That is gonna be one hell of a docu series.
That is gonna be good.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
So this guy he got hired as a low level assistant.
They did a background check on him. That must have
been impressive. That's that's pretty good. All right.
Speaker 1 (18:58):

The quarterback Jackson Dart said that Blank is way worse
with the Giants than in college at Old miss That's
what we said, So.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That's the questions complaining.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He said, this is actually better when I was in
college in the Southeastern Conference at Mississippi than in the NFL.
So what is the answer? We go to the Hoy
paloi here the great Unwashed on X and again that's
at Ben Mahllor. That's at Ben Maller. If you want
to send an answer into these bits, Scrooge said, the
(23:33):
drugs is the answer. Courtesy Flusher claims the jails are better,
and Mississippi the grits and the hushpuppies. Those grits don't
look very good, but the Late Night directs us to
the hushpuppies. Outstanding Eke in Roseville, Minnesota said the parking spots.
(23:55):
Keith Oho texto says that Jackson Dark claimed, the hookers
and low are better in the college world. What else
we have a male strippers? Who would want to see
any of those guys? These guys strip. That's from Fergdok.
That's quite the motley crew that you put together. The
number of pimps from FEMI the top Uber, each delivery
(24:20):
driver there in the Greater Minneapolis said Twin Cities Area.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Twin Cities Area King Rory.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
The Homeless Camps Donkey Sausage went with hookers, the aroma
of the locker room, the aroma of the locker room
from Alf the Alien opiner, players cafeteria from Steve the
misplaced Sandy Agen.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Who else we have?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The attendance from Johnny Q, the massive rats from Trucker Joe.
You gotta have a fall guy, Gunner said the pimps.
That's Gunner from the Walmart in northern Minnesota, just below
the Canadian border.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
JT.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
The Wingman says, games of co ed Twister, Chili from
Philler Up Phil that's his answer. Ryan in San Diego says,
the stink of New York is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Who else you have?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That's the page down the Valet parking way worse, that's
from Mike the Leprechaun. That's his answer. Who else you have?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Page down up Lorraina, do you have an answer?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Jackson Dart, that's a quarterback, said recently that Blank is
way worse with.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
The giants in the NFL than in college at Ole,
miss The cafeteria food.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
The cafeteria food. That would be a fine answer. No, no, no, no.
Jackson Dart said that the travel is worse.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
The travel is worse. He said, yeah, what's up with
that man?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He said that one of the big things about being
in college name image and lightness. That he had a
deal with a private jet company in Oxford, Mississippi, and
so that means he had access as a college football
player to a fleet of seven private jets, seven of them,
(26:11):
and so he would travel around on private jets. But
now he's in the NFL. So when he travels he well,
the team obviously travels charter, but when he's traveling around
on his own, he does not have the access to that.
And he was recently spotted flying economy. Oh my god,
can we do a wellness check? Dart was spotted flying economy.
(26:33):
My god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Shocker, How did he survive. How did Jackson?

So we go to pro bouncy Ball. That is our
lead story this hour.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
One of the bright stars is expected to shine again.
As we're doing this here early on Friday tonight. If
you didn't hear about it, maybe not. We've learned that
the Celtic superstar Jason Tatum is expect to make his
season debut against the mav Rex and that'll take place
(03:08):
at the Garden there tonight in Boston. Tatum's return will
be less than ten months after Snapcrackle Pop to the
Achilles Tendon. Now Boston, led by Jalen Brown, who is
a MVP candidate, not the favorite, but an MVP candidate,
has the Celtics in second place. I believe there is
(03:28):
still in second place there in the Eastern Conference standings.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So there is some noise. There's some noise there.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
And we had a caller the other day from Maine
who brought this up and it's like, oh, come on,
it's ridiculous, and there's some things being tossed out in
the echo chamber that Jason Tatum's return is going to be.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
A body blow, body blow to the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here, their lineup and he's going to mess. I love
this with the quote teen chemistry close quote. It's gonna
be a problem here. So that is a good jumping
off point. Let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
And we're just gonna We're gonna lean into this spare
with me.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Is this the beginning of the Celtics are better off
without Jason Tatum conversation he's returning the lineup?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Is this the beginning of, Hey.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
The Celtics are just better off without Jason Tatum? Is
this the conversation? So I my take on this, I've
got political campaign, CTN and AMC theaters and we will
combine all of.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
These things together and we are going to have.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
An amazing, amazing plate of Teriokey chicken. All right. So
to tip off, though, you better believe I don't agree
with this, but you better.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Believe the Whisper campaign it's already out there.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
You know.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
We had the guy call up the other day, as
I said, and ranting about this topic. And now it's
bouncing all over the place. But it isn't Tatum, who
has not even laced it up in a real game,
hasn't put the sneakers on playing in the real.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Game as we're doing this, and already the.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Industrial complex of hot take artists is pounding the drum
like it's panic.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
At the disco night at the Garden like, this is
not a real problem. You know what this is for
the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
It is a champagne problem. So you're telling me the
team's overachieved. It wasn't just Tatum they got rid of.
They got rid of a bunch of guys. Porzingis who's
always heard in average al Al Horford, he left and
Drew Holliday.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
They got a real bunch of guys. They got to
a bunch of guys.
Speaker 4 (05:38):
And so.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's this is a good thing. If Boston stumbles and
there will be some losses, there's only a Most teams
have about less than twenty games to go in this season,
and Boston's gonna lose a couple of games they shouldn't lose.
But the moment they stumble a little bit with Tatum
in there, the finger pointing is going to begin. Immediately,
(06:01):
point the finger at your Jason, point the finger. Welcome
to the NBA ecosystem. And I was trying to think,
does this happen anywhere else? Does this happen in the NFL?
When your star quar quarterback has hurt, your backup goes in,
you win a couple of games to peep, well, you
shouldn't change the quarterback Well, yeah, quarterback A is ten
(06:21):
times better than quarterback B though, But I know in
basketball it's like a political campaign. You're always one bad
game away from a absolute smear campaign. Just mud slinging
and all that. Now for me and I don't have
a dog in the fight. The bigger issue with this story,
(06:43):
and it's been this way for the last fifteen years
or so, the issue I have with this is the
dreaded minutes restriction theater, which the Celtics will be taking
part in.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
The word is that Tatum.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
They're gonna roll him out with training wheel on no
back to backs, limit minutes. They're gonna limit the amount
of time he's on the court. He's going to be
treated like he's an artifact at a museum. They're gonna
put him behind glass. And this is one of my
big pet peeves with the modern zeitgeist in sports, and
(07:18):
basketball more than the other sports.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
It really gets.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Under my skin here. The minutes restriction in basketball is
voodoo science is what it is. You're either ready to
play and you can play, or you're not ready to play.
It's like are you pregnant or not pregnant? Either you're
pregnant and you could have a baby if the pregnancy
(07:45):
goes all the way through, or you're not pregnant.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
But either way, there's not a lot of gray area here.
So that's always been my point.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
So the crowd, and I've never had someone explain to me,
never had someone explain to me the logic behind the
minutes restriction.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So let me get this straight.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
So if Tatum, let's say he comes out, plays twenty
five minutes, everything is sunshine, rainbows and lollipops. Everyone gets
a lolli. If Tatum plays twenty seven minutes, suddenly his
achilles goes kaboom and it'll look like lumpy cauliflower.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Is that what we're supposed to believe?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Is that how this works? Am I getting it right?
It's medical guess work dressed up as strategy and nobody
knows anything.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is vodoo bugaloo.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Is what it is? All right? Now?
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Furthermore, a long standing punching bag on this show.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
We have not done many of these monologues about this
guy in a number of years, but we go to Milwaukee.
The word is that Glen Rivers, better known as a doc.
He's as much a doc as Doc Mike in Chicago.
So we're hearing now that Doc Rivers is planning to
retie as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks. Our former Fox
(09:04):
Sports radio morning host Stephen Smith, you know what he's
doing now.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
For some reason, he uses his middle initial because his
name is Stephen Smith.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Anyway, Doc, he said, Doc Rivers is going to retire
at the end of this season. He's been coaching for
almost twenty five years and that will be all. She
wrote for Glenn Rivers. So the question, the report that
Doc Rivers plans to retire as coach of the Milwaukee Bucks.
Who is dumb enough to buy this? Anyone want to
(09:36):
raise their hands? I'm looking, I'm looking to the I'm
looking to the right. I don't see any hands raised.
I'm looking. I think there might be one guy in
the middle of the back, and then I don't see
anyone of the left. So yeah, you would have to
have a brain made out of playdough, playdough to believe
(09:58):
this Doc is not tiring.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
What Doc Rivers is doing is evacuating the.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Building in Milwaukee before the roof comes crashing down and collapses.
It's the old CTN maneuver. What is this CTN, mover,
I'm not talking about the Christian Television Network. CTN is
controlling the narrative. You gotta control the narrative. You gotta
be out ahead of the narrative. If you say, hey,
I quit, I'm a quitter, which is what he's doing,
(10:28):
everyone looks down upon you.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
Oh, you shouldn't quit. You shouldn't be a quitter.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
You shouldn't do that. Yeah, the mystery comes in if
you say, well, listen, I'm gonna retire, because then everyone's like, oh,
all sins are forgiven again.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
If you quit, you look like a failure. If you retire,
we're all good.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Milwaukee hired Doc Rivers like he was gonna be magical
duct tape or some kind of glue to fix the
oaken thing of a jig and the dow Hickey that
wasn't working. There were some concerns that Yannis was going
to be able or was planning to leave, even a
(11:09):
couple of years ago. And it's like, well, we got
to make sure, Yanna says, so let's hire Doc Rivers.
Don't worry. Doc Rivers is a people person. He's lovable.
Doc Rivers. He's got the Svengali effect. And he'll smooth
things over with Yannis. Yeah, how do you like them apples?
How'd that work out? So the team has been operating
(11:31):
in Milwaukee like a Golden Corral buffet where the staff
has gone home and all that is left is some
cold mashed potatoes. That's it. They're not even garlic mashed potatoes.
They're just cold mashed potatoes. And he's been essentially a
five hundred coach in Milwaukee. No playoff series wins, no bite, nothing,
(11:54):
and Yannis is planning to leave. Meanwhile, Yannis is scrolling
Zillow right now, looking at condos in.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Miami, and he's like, I mean, let me see what's.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Going on in New York. Maybe I get a place
on the upper east Side, get a place I want
a view of Central Park? Do Maybe I don't want
to damn more lower. I don't know. Maybe I live
in the village.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
So he's looking and so the Bucks have been dealing
with Doc Rivers not upgrading the team in terms of
their performance, and once the Greek Creek enters the transfer portal,
which is expected to be this summer, the Bucks will
go from.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Fear the Deer to road killed deer where.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Sir scratch Off is going to drive over to I
ninety four, pick that up and have that for dinner.
That's good eating, Sir scratch Offf's going to say that deer,
that's good eating. So he's got Doc Rivers channeling his
favorite cartoon as a kid, Looney Tunes, Porky Pig. That's
all folks, And then that's it, and so Doc will
(12:58):
then slide back.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
To the boob tube.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
He'll do some bad TV because they can't seem to
find anyone that knows what they're doing. The broadcast NBA
games over there, it's a hot mess. So he'll do TV,
pretend like nothing happened. And then he's just gonna sit
there and.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Wait for the next billionaire Oli gark who's dumb, du dumb, dumb.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Dumb and says, oh, I like the way Doc does
that TV, Let's hire him as our coach. He's a
championship coach. And again, the single most amazing championship in
my life. It is not the Toronto Raptors. Many people
say the Toronto Raptors because that team should never win
right there, Toronto. No, the team that is the most shocking,
(13:41):
the Doc Rivers coached Boston Celtics back in eight with
Paul Pierce. The fact that that team overcame Doc Rivers
to win a championship. What a testimonial to Ray Allen
and Paul Pierce and all those guys, Kevin Garnett and
all those guys in Boston.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
All right, last thing.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
I didn't think this was going to be on my
radar when I went to bed last night. But we
go now to or actually not last night, yesterday d'ur
in the morning, we go to Bakersfield, California, home of
a legendary Mallard meet and greet hosted by the Ambassador
of Bakersfield. Rod had a great time there with Rod
and his wife, had a funder one fun little get together,
had a nice dinner, great restaurant there in Bakersfield. Then
(14:22):
went out and we burned up and we had That
was the game Air Force. Andrew showed up at got
kicked out by the second inning, and then snuck back
in and got kicked out again. Yeah, I was a
wild night, wild night, and Bakersfield threw out the first
pitch team went out of business.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Anyway, why are we going to Bakersfield College? Basket will
you see the story. This is a humdinger of a story,
a hum dinger for story.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
So Kevin Mays not Billy May's Hi, Billy May's here. No,
this is Kevin Mays. I just realized that Billy masling
doesn't work. He's been dead for a while. And I
don't think anyone who's under the ag toil like thirty
even knows who Billy Mays is. But whatever, So Kevin
Mays no relation a former assistant coach for cal State
(15:09):
Bakersfield the road Runners. That's right. For the first time ever,
we are doing a Mallard monologue on cal State Bakersfield basketball.
The Fox Sports Radio network has now reached a new low.
How low can you go? Well, this is a good
story and it has to be a good story for
us to talk about. So Kevin May's cow State Bakersfield
(15:30):
basketball was a trending topic. It went viral on social media.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
So if you didn't see this.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Maybe you're not on social media. Good for you. You're
a better person. It went viral because this guy had
a side hustle. Yeah, so what do you think this
guy was doing? What do you think do you think
he was selling crypto on the side and that was
illegal or something like that. Maybe he had a lollipop
business that he was doing. Was he selling illegal sports
(15:59):
merchant out of the back of his station wagon?
Speaker 4 (16:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah. According to the local police, they the allegation is
that Kevin May's former assistant coach at cal State Bakersfield,
was moonlighting trying to make some extra money as a pimp. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Let me repeat that. A pimp, p I m p pimp?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
All right, question, So how does this cal State Bakersfield
coach working as a pimp? Story hit you? So I
saw this and I left it to the side. I
was like, okay, that that's not real, that's satire. He's
another one of these moments where I was like, Okay,
(16:47):
that's NBA sentel. They haven't done anything in a while,
so that's NBA sentel that I thought it was my
buddy Sports Talk Barry, who I had on the podcast.
I thought maybe the Sports Talk Barry. Is it butt
Crack Sports? Are they still around? No? No, it's not them.
Who could it be? And then I was like, wait
a minute, this is popping up in the mainstream here.
(17:10):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (17:13):
And it's the real deal? Big West?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Now Cal State Bakers who plays in the Big West.
So Big West, big pimp. That is where we are now.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So the story hit me.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I wanted to go to an AMC theater and get
a big bucket of popcorn. I want to get a
big bucket of popcorn extra butter. I'm pretty sure the
people over at Netflix are already bidding on the rights
to the docu series.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I can think of the name like.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Baker's Field, Hustle, Secrets behind the Scoreboard, Coaching and crime
collide in the shadows.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
And according to the report, this guy Mays is.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
The allegation is he was operating a multi state pimp
ring for states California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. So I'm
sorry to Idaho, New Mexico. You guys didn't get any
of his services. And that is more than a sidehot.
So that's like the entire Big West conference schedule multitasking.
(18:16):
Some some coaches like to run the zone defense. Other
coaches like to run Internet, not Internet like interstate commerce.
I guess it was probably on the Internet too, so
that is a new wrinkle. The transfer portal takes a
whole new meeting for this guy, and in his case,
nil stands for now. It's ladies apparently now it's much
(18:40):
different than name, image likeness.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
That is gonna be one hell of a docu series.
That is gonna be good.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
So this guy he got hired as a low level assistant.
They did a background check on him. That must have
been impressive. That's that's pretty good. All right.
Speaker 1 (18:58):

The quarterback Jackson Dart said that Blank is way worse
with the Giants than in college at Old miss That's
what we said, So.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That's the questions complaining.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
He said, this is actually better when I was in
college in the Southeastern Conference at Mississippi than in the NFL.
So what is the answer? We go to the Hoy
paloi here the great Unwashed on X and again that's
at Ben Mahllor. That's at Ben Maller. If you want
to send an answer into these bits, Scrooge said, the
(23:33):
drugs is the answer. Courtesy Flusher claims the jails are better,
and Mississippi the grits and the hushpuppies. Those grits don't
look very good, but the Late Night directs us to
the hushpuppies. Outstanding Eke in Roseville, Minnesota said the parking spots.
(23:55):
Keith Oho texto says that Jackson Dark claimed, the hookers
and low are better in the college world. What else
we have a male strippers? Who would want to see
any of those guys? These guys strip. That's from Fergdok.
That's quite the motley crew that you put together. The
number of pimps from FEMI the top Uber, each delivery
(24:20):
driver there in the Greater Minneapolis said Twin Cities Area.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Twin Cities Area King Rory.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
The Homeless Camps Donkey Sausage went with hookers, the aroma
of the locker room, the aroma of the locker room
from Alf the Alien opiner, players cafeteria from Steve the
misplaced Sandy Agen.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Who else we have?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
The attendance from Johnny Q, the massive rats from Trucker Joe.
You gotta have a fall guy, Gunner said the pimps.
That's Gunner from the Walmart in northern Minnesota, just below
the Canadian border.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
JT.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
The Wingman says, games of co ed Twister, Chili from
Philler Up Phil that's his answer. Ryan in San Diego says,
the stink of New York is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Who else you have?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
That's the page down the Valet parking way worse, that's
from Mike the Leprechaun. That's his answer. Who else you have?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Page down up Lorraina, do you have an answer?
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Jackson Dart, that's a quarterback, said recently that Blank is
way worse with.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
The giants in the NFL than in college at Ole,
miss The cafeteria food.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
The cafeteria food. That would be a fine answer. No, no, no, no.
Jackson Dart said that the travel is worse.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
The travel is worse. He said, yeah, what's up with
that man?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
He said that one of the big things about being
in college name image and lightness. That he had a
deal with a private jet company in Oxford, Mississippi, and
so that means he had access as a college football
player to a fleet of seven private jets, seven of them,
(26:11):
and so he would travel around on private jets. But
now he's in the NFL. So when he travels he well,
the team obviously travels charter, but when he's traveling around
on his own, he does not have the access to that.
And he was recently spotted flying economy. Oh my god,
can we do a wellness check? Dart was spotted flying economy.
(26:33):
My god, I can't believe it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Shocker, How did he survive. How did Jackson?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
He should write a book, I Survived Flying Economy, an
amazing tale, A tale of survival. Honestly, I feel like
a survivor every time I get off an economy flight,
which is all I've ever flown my whole life. So yeah, yeah,
well I also fly only the economy. I've only sat
in class a couple of times. One was because the
(27:02):
people I was working with paid for it, and the
other time I got upgraded because the flight. You know
how they offer those deals, hey that we need people
to take the vow. Take the next flight.
Speaker 5 (27:13):

class on the next flight. Okay, I'll take you.
Speaker 1 (27:29):

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.
