Speaker 2 (02:12):
Be so our lead this We're gonna go back to
the story that we talked about earlier. There's a new
angle to it and our lead is from pro bouncy Ball.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yet again.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Luca put up forty five points. Lakers trailed in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They trailed against the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But they didn't win the game. They did come back
to win the game. One of the stories that everyone's
talking about. It's a bit of a sidebar, but it's.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The words words. Use your words of.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Jason Kidd, the Maverick coach Jason Kidd, who raised some
eyebrows with his commentary on the situation on involving Luke.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So if you didn't hear what he said, perhaps not.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Jason Kidd told reporters that some some are comparing Luka
the trade the Mavericks made with the Lakers, which really
wasn't a trade. He said, Jason Kidd that they've compared
it to the Babe Ruth trade. And then Kid said,
which is kind of cool. He said, it's kind of cool,
(03:19):
referring to the infamous decision to sell Babe Bruce contract.
The Red Sox made that decision to the Yankees in
nineteen twenty for one hundred thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Jason kidds saying that Luka Huka Luca's trade from the
Mavericks to the Lakers being compared to Babe Ruth is
quote kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So how do you decode this one?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I've got Fumblruski, Roger Clemens, and hemorrhoids, and we will
combine all of these things together and attempt to not
be the ghost at the feast. We're going to try
not to be the ghost at the feast, all right, So,
first of all, does this not sound awkward?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Am I the only one. Am I the only one
in the room where this sounds like.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I don't think it's awkward, but what he's talking about
it's awkward.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It is awkward. Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's red meat in the lions Den or red meat
at the Kidny table, because well, publicly, the narrative has
been that Jason Kidd was not involved in the decision
making process and was informed of the trade only after
it had been almost complete, so it was like the
(04:40):
eleventh hour, and then Jason Kidd they told them about
it privately. There have always been murmurs since the trade
went down that there was something else going on. A
mirror universe, if you will, mirror mirror on the wall,
an alternative reality in which Jason Kidd had high ranking
(05:02):
conversations with Nico Harrison and actually advocated that something needed
to change with Luke. Now, maybe not a trade.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But he wasn't happy with Luca and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Now that aside, looking at the Babe Ruth trade, we
don't know the outcome if you do a side by
side comparison with Lucature, we don't know how this is
going to turn out. Luca he could go out and
just fall off the Wagon, but the Red Sox if
you go back to that time in nineteen twenty, the
guy that owned the Red Sox was a theatrical producer
(05:39):
and there was a lot of money in that back
in those days. But he was also about to go
bankrupt because of things that were going on outside of baseball.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But he had problems in baseball too. He bought the
Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I've read a couple of books about this because I'm
a loser, and so this guy bought the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
In like four years early in nineteen sixteen, I think
it was.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But he bought it with borrowed money, which is always
a bad thing with somebody, even going back then one
hundred plus years ago, when you buy something with borrowed money,
it means you likely don't have enough money for running
a business to pay for the people in the business.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And so he was having all kinds of problems. The
debt was skyrocketing. So he sold Babe Ruth the Biggest Star.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
For one hundred thousand now in today's money, that would
be one point five million dollars in today's money. And
he also got a three hundred thousand dollars loan from
the guy that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Owned the Yankees at the time, and that helped pay
the mortgage.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
He would have gone bankrupt on Finway Park. Imagine, well,
back then it was just a normal ballpark. Nobody said, well,
it's kind of stupid they had that green wall now
and now it's revered. It's been around forever. But the
Red Sox also claimed at the time, much like the
Luca trade, if you go back and you read the
books about it, the Red Sox knew that Babe Ruth
(06:59):
was popping. Baseball was a big thing in an American,
big thing in Boston at that time. So they claimed
they traded Babe Ruth because he was out of control
on the field. He was womanizing, he was drinking too much,
and he had a major issue with the manager of
the Red Sox, this guy named Ed Barrow, I believe
was his name. He also had an issue Babe Ruth
(07:19):
with the owner. And I didn't know about this until
I read one of these dopey books. But Babe Ruth,
you know, he actually briefly retired from the Red Sox.
He was at loggerheads with the owner and he retired
from baseball to play golf. It's not a story that's
talked about much, but you can look it up.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm not making enough.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
He briefly retired to play golf, and that was after
I think it was like the year before he was traded,
or maybe that offseason before before he was traded. So anyway,
get to the point, please, how does this all relate
to Luca. So my hypothesis, the Mavericks have done similar things.
While they're not saying that Luke is, they're not hitting
(08:02):
all those points they are. I didn't hear the womanizing thing,
but the rest of it I heard was that, you know,
Luca's uncontrollable, he's uncoachable, He's got that I'm better than
everyone syndrome and all that stuff, and he is out
there partying with the hookah, the drinking and all that,
and he's not taking care of himself. Very similar to
(08:23):
the playbook the Red Sox used when they got rid
of Babe Ruth. All right, so my hypothesis, the Luca
Docik trade is trending to be worse than the Babe
Ruth trade. Here's why, Right, the Red Sox when they
got rid of Babe Ruth, they did it because they
had the owner had it to get the money, the Mavericks,
(08:47):
the people that are own the Mavericks, the gambling family.
They don't need the money. They didn't do this for money.
They did it for some other reason. Now the theory
is that the NBA medaled somebody from television medal or
that Nico Harrison is the village idiot. But either way,
it is a fumbbo a fumble Rooskie.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Is what it is. It's an unforced error all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Secondly to the NFL we go, and that is where
Justin Fields talk to some reporters this week.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He's a quarterback, not a good one.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So Justin Field says that he wasn't really comfortable playing
as a backup after he was demoted last year, benched
in favor of Russell Wilson, and then even after Russ
rode the vomit comet, Mike Tomlins like, I.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Want nothing to do with this Justin Fields guy. I
would rather leave Russ out there. So Fields this offseason
joined the Jets. He's a carpetbagger and they're trying to
upsell him with the Jets. He got a two year contract.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Forty million, not all of it guaranteed. Now, later on
when speaking with reporters. Here's where we're gonna get to
the meat of the So Justin Fields was asked about
the very real possibility that the draft, which is two
weeks from today, the Jets will draft a quarterback and
that quarterback will be anointed in the on deck circle
(10:16):
the quarterback and rating that they'll be ready to go
and the baton will be eventually passed to them. So,
when asked about that the possibility the Jets would draft
the quarterback, Justin Field said, quote, I'm not really interested
in rhetorical questions post quote. So how did you grade
Justin Field's response about rhetorical questions and the chatter regarding
(10:40):
the Jets drafting the quarterback?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So I loved it. I laughed my ass off. I
hope you did too.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
What a great testimonial to Justin and Cincinnati and all
the other Ohio listeners to the educational process, the professors
at Ohio State University. Way to go dot theieboys, dot
the I who goofed? I've got to know who goof?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Justin Fields pulled.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
A Roger Clemens Rogers and George's box and misremembered, misremember
Justin Field's misremembered the quote from sports cliche dot com,
which I have.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Been contributed to over the years.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Sports cliche dot com they if you look at the
page at the very bottom, they have a list of
contributors and my name's on there. I have contributed to
sports cliche dot com. I have content creator. So a
rhetorical question, I assume you learned this at some point.
A rhetorical question is asked to make a point rather
than get an answer. It's an obvious question, right, obvious question.
(11:40):
You're not trying to get an answer. A hypothetical question
refers to something that is a what if.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And we do a lot of what if, what if
this happened? What if that happens? What if? What if?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We do a lot of that. There's a lot of
what if, right, and so that's part of the job.
And Justin Fields is overjoyed at the idea the Jets
would take a young quarterback to replace him unless he's
not unless it makes him want a puke in his mouth.
All right, final thought, We are going to golf. That's right,
(12:17):
we are going to golf. A whole different ball of wax.
We're going to golf. The reason we're going to golf.
It's Master's week. Get out the green jacket, Grandma, it's
Master's week. It has been said by several snobby golf
pundits that one thing needs to change on the PGA Tour,
(12:40):
and golf must add something that is out of the
playbook of baseball now and basketball, even football has this.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Do you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So the noise, which has been the volume has been
cranked up because the Masters are going on this week.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But the chatter is that golf needs a shot clock.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I said it, that golf needs a shot clock similar
to the NBA or a play clock in football, or
the pitch clock in baseball. Question, should the PGA Tour
add a shot clock?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So I'm nodding my head. Yes. You can't see me.
My eyes are closed. I'm nodding my head.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yes, in a dark studio, but for some reason, their
lights on because it's gonna be on YouTube later.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So I'm nodding my head yes.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Okay, So anyway, the reason why, and I'm a casual golfer.
I'm a casual I golf. I used to golf once
a year. Now I'm down to like once every other year.
The reason the PGA Tour and these major golf tournament
should at a shot clock.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Boomtobe, boomtobe. It's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It is a TV show, and it's got to be
rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat. Doing TV,
you gotta go fast, much like I try to do
this show. You gotta keep it moving, Matt. There's nothing
worse in my opinion than watching a TV show or
listening to a radio show or I guess now podcasts
and it's just dull.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean, it is the worst of the way. It
just blows.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, I don't want any part of that. And the
problem that the PGA has. They're in the entertainment business
and the product sucks in terms of the way that
it is broadcast for the rank and file.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It just does.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now. I know the purists will say, do not mess
with the beauty of the game. Can you imagine how
terrible golf would be if they put in a shot clock.
The player must examine the green, they must look across
the entire hole that they're at.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They must gauge the wind finger to the wind.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
They got to pick the club, They've got to talk
to the caddy, they've got to pick their nose, they've
got to rub their tucus, and if you take away
the shot clock, that becomes unnatural.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. Yeah, let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I watch golf on television four times a year, the
four Majors, and typically at the end of every weekend
watching golf, I get hemorrhoids because golf is hemorrhoids inducing.
The PGA Tour, you realize the average round is between
four and a half and five hours, four and a
(15:37):
half and five are and you've got these slows on
the tour. Now, I don't want to name any names.
Let's say the initials are Bryson D.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Chambeau. Oh, I guess I gave him his old name,
B D. Bryson D. Chambeau. Okay, this guy I think
I saw somewhere.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I read one of these stories about the I was
getting ready for the the golf season, the major season,
which begins with the Masters here, and.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
He takes over a minute per shot, over a minute,
and it's very frustrating.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Now you're watching and you guse you get enough time,
you got to walk around. They don't allow the golf
carts and all that. And did you know that they
they've attempted to futz around with the shot clock the
European Tour, which I don't watch. I didn't read about this,
that they had a shot clock of forty seconds. They
tested this back in twenty nineteen, way back. I was
(16:32):
barely alive in twenty nineteen, but that was pre pandemic,
and it did cut the round times a lot like.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It chopped them down quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And the general consensus the arithmetic is one plus one
equals too. That faster play translates into more eyeballs on television,
and then the trickle down economics means you can charge
more for advertise and then make more money, which means.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You're happy if you're the broadcast partner.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
The PGA is happy because they're getting more money and
the ratings have gone down.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Now, the other thing you can do if you don't.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Want a shot clock is just find a reincarnation of
Tiger Woods, right, do that, by the way. Spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, I did not know this until I started
fussing around. Did you realize that professional golf. They already
have timing rules that under normal conditions, according to the
(17:34):
PGA Tour's pace of Play policy, you get forty seconds.
And it reminds me when I was reading about this,
it reminds me of baseball, because technically baseball never had
a clock, but in the rules they had certain time limits.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You were supposed to be in the box and all
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But much like baseball's rules were rarely enforced, golf it's
rarely enforced.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And one other thing, while we're at it, since I'm
on my soapbox.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Golf should also allow Heckley. They should allow Heckley. These
guys are mister softies. They are the softest, entitled most.
I mean, we goof on NBA players and you know
NBA players, they've got issues. Everyone's got issues, right, whether
it's Ja Morant being saubtoose. He's moved on from fake
(18:24):
guns to now fake hand grenades or Molotov cocktails.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
They've got issues. But golfers are such wooses.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That they run and hide from the media. They can't
handle any kind of criticism. They're elitist a holes. And
how much fun would it be for these mister softies
for those of us who are watching the patrons. If
you're allowed to make noise and heckle the golfer while
they are setting up for.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Their shot, how fun would that be? What another layer
of drama be great? I'm all for it.

because we are about to pay off this is very
valuable real estate. The malor Riddle of the day, and
here it is Ozy Gien, a manager with the White

(21:33):
major league baseball team is easier.
Speaker 1 (21:37):

(24:11):
As my guy hit a Randy Rose Arena hit a

What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
A Gunner says the answer is managing a baseball team

Malors Show of the Day after.
Speaker 2 (24:45):

Speaker 1 (24:51):
That that obviously true, obviously true.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
All right, Lorrae not do you have an answer? Lorraina
the Mallard Riddle of the day. Azygien, former Whites manager,
former Marlins manager, said managing a major league baseball team
is easier than blank.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I think it's easier than growing a garden.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Ben grow in your garden. You do not have a
green thumb, is that.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
What you're saying now? It's very, very hard for me.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, also not into cookie.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You'd agree, you're not a big cooking I can, though,
you can.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
I kill everything I try to grow though, So that's
a no go.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, okay, I got you. Well, that is incorrect, Unfortunately,
he turns out.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Ozzie Gan, former White Sox and Marlin's manager, recently said
that managing a Major League baseball team is easier.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Than hosting a sports talk radio show.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
How about that, Yes, Ozzie and claim that, hey, listen,
and my job as a manager was easier than doing
a daily talk show.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
And he's not wrongs, not wrong.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I've known a few managers over the years, three managers,
and they're you know, it's pretty easy gig.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It is, especially now.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's even more more of an easy gig now because
a lot of the work's done for you and you're
just a middle manager and you're essentially pushing buttons.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
But when you have a daily show, a daily talk
show every day, you can.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I've always said, like, if you do a talk show
every day, there's points in the year where it's anybody
could do it, Like there's a big story in the
NFL or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
But the thing that is different.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
There's no unlike these lazy NBA players that take nights
off and they don't play back to back, and we
think they should get a purple heart if they play
every game or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Like you do a daily talk show, you got it.
It's a grind.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It is the day in and day out, and it
does make it different. Baseball you do one hundred and
sixty two games. You travel on first class planes and
trains and automble beiles and all that stuff, state five
star hotels, and it varies in comparison. It just as
all right, so great, great crup. I'm gonna save that Ozziegan.
(27:11):
He's not alone. There was an NFL player We talked
about this a while back in the previous episode of
the show.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
For the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm on Ross Saint Brown who said that podcasting, which is,
you know, which is a lot easier than live radio.
But podcasting is harder than running a route or a route,
he said, so, but yeah, side by obviously a podcast
that's just a podcast on the weekend, and I've got
(27:40):
the radio show during the week and podcasting is so
much easier than the live radio show.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Not even close, not even close, which is fine.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I mean it's not you know, it's a it's I
listened to some podcasts, not many, but it's a much
easier skill set than doing the live show.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It just is. Anyway, Well, we'll.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Take some calls, and also we have asked Ben coming up.
That's your questions, our answers, And let's say a little
to Greg, who's in the Sunshine State.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
What's going on? Greg? Welcome.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
If you want a tough job. If you want a
tough job, tote bricks around all day, go out.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
There and be construction worker out there, and we actually
do some work.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Talk show host show. You gotta shoot your mouth off. Yeah,
that's yes.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I gotta put up.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
With losers like you, Greg, I got I gotta put
up with a holes like hang up on this loser.
I gotta sit here in the middle of the night,
all right, middle of the night. I got schmucks like you,
losers scum of the earth like Greg and Florida.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I don't know how that guy could call the show.
He's so stupid moron.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I had to dump him.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Let's go to the great Danny DeVito. Now this guy,
this guy's got a job too. We pick up trash.
That's a real job. I'm like that loser Greg who's
got no I don't even know why he's out there.
What a what a moron? That guy is dumb? Hello,
Danny DeVito.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Ben, the power of the President, the S and P
five hundred. I don't know if you're in stock so
I think just that thing went four hundred and seventy
five points with a minute yet today dollars yesterday? Did
you see that? How about?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah? Well, one thing I do have, Danny, I do
have some investments in Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But I I one thing. It's I treat the stock
market like I treat social media. I check in with it,
but I don't monitor every minute because I'll go crazy.
I don't do it.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, I'm starting to, Ben, I'm starting to because the
gambling is good, but I'm trying to invest my cash
in the market now. I'm trying to to get away
from the gambling.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's better and uh, you know there are you know
I I you know you should never take advice, ever
from financial advice from an overnight talk shows, but I
recommend you find those stocks that pay dividends.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's the way to go. Man, that's the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I was told that. I was told that by a
couple of different people, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, I mean there's some that there's some that are
relatively affordable that will pay a little bit, that's the
way to go.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And there's others that are you know, the rock solid.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
They don't really pay dividends. And so that's just my
my ten cents.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
And uh, Kevin Durant, I want to ask you about
this guy, Kevin Durant. Uh this is uh my own
personal opinion. If he never joined the Warriors, he would
have done nothing right or won nothing in that league. Right,
are you on board with that? Kevin Durant has done nothing? Uh,
Ben Ever since he left the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Every yeah, everywhere Durant's gone, there's been a malfunction other
than Golden State.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But he wasn't to be fair with the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He was.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Really good. He was the he was the top player
on those Warrior.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Teams when he was with Curry and Klay Thompson and
those guys, he was the top guy.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, he's a talented player, obviously, but I just think
if he never joined that team, he wanted to want nothing.
I mean he's joined the best team at the time,
that was the best team, and he gets joined.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
The that's his resume. That's there. He'll never outlive that, right,
that's the guy's resume.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Ben, I have to get back
to work.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Get Wow. You see that video justin uh he sent
over there. There was a wow. That's wild. It's some
funeral in Pennsylvania. They all went down there putting the
(31:46):
casket down, the whole the whole ground unloaded.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Oh I heard about that and they fell in.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, that's that's that's like a horror thing, right, that's
a nightmare situation.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I wonder if they opened up. You know.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I was driving when I was doing stuff in spring
training in Florida on Highway One there. I was going
to Port Saint Lucie for a spring training I think
it was Port Saint Lucie and there was an accident
on the other side of the traffic was.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Terrible and a hearst was turning.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Left on Highway One and got in a head on
accident and the casket came out of the back of
the hearse.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Now it didn't open, the body fall out, no, the
bit like the hearst. The casket didn't know, but it was.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm thinking, as long as I have my faculties into
my last breath, I will I will remember that visual
of driving like there's an accident was I wonder what happened?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And the boom.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
May said Paul Bear suffered in this one in Pennsylvania.
They had interest through their legs, hands and back and.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That is that is. Have you seen the clip on this, Lorene?
Have you seen this yet?

That's that's Nutso me.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Boy, I've been to a few funerals too, so I've
never had that as a concern. Like when I've gone
to the funeral, I've never thought, well, this is something
that could happen.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I didn't think that would be the the case.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
I have a funeral horror story for you.

Speaker 6 (37:52):
This one is from Milkman Mike. He wants to know,
if you could go back in time, what decade would
you like to live in?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
Oh Man, that's you know, in our lifetime, like the
decades we've lived.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
I say, I don't know, because it says, it says.
He says, what era slash decades?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
So well in my.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
Lifetime, I guess I would say maybe like the nineties.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah, I'd say the nineties. Well what about you, La Raine?
Speaker 6 (38:21):
Weren't you alive in the nineties, bro?

don't have everything smelled.
Speaker 2 (38:34):
Imagine the body odor, Imagine the body odor around that
only crap.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
There's no deodorant. You don't want to live in those times.
No toilet paper.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
This is the fifties, not I would see if I'm
thinking of it the way you're thinking of it, Ben,
and I would be staying my same age. I would
go back to the nineties for sure, even though I
was alive in the nineties. But if I'm going to
one that I was not alive in that I did
not experience, I picked the sixties.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Okay, that's fair enough. What is next? What we got?
Speaker 6 (39:02):
Donkey sausage would like to know? Crunchy or smooth? Peanut butter?
Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, I'm fine. You know I'm buy peanut butter. I'll
go either way, crunchy or smooth. I guess I lean
towards smooth.
Speaker 6 (39:16):
Lorena, I lean towards crunchy.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Back, Okay, you're an animal. What about your cool?
Speaker 6 (39:21):

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Be so our lead this We're gonna go back to
the story that we talked about earlier. There's a new
angle to it and our lead is from pro bouncy Ball.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yet again.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Luca put up forty five points. Lakers trailed in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
They trailed against the Mavericks.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
But they didn't win the game. They did come back
to win the game. One of the stories that everyone's
talking about. It's a bit of a sidebar, but it's.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The words words. Use your words of.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Jason Kidd, the Maverick coach Jason Kidd, who raised some
eyebrows with his commentary on the situation on involving Luke.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So if you didn't hear what he said, perhaps not.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Jason Kidd told reporters that some some are comparing Luka
the trade the Mavericks made with the Lakers, which really
wasn't a trade. He said, Jason Kidd that they've compared
it to the Babe Ruth trade. And then Kid said,
which is kind of cool. He said, it's kind of cool,
(03:19):
referring to the infamous decision to sell Babe Bruce contract.
The Red Sox made that decision to the Yankees in
nineteen twenty for one hundred thousand dollars in cash.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Jason kidds saying that Luka Huka Luca's trade from the
Mavericks to the Lakers being compared to Babe Ruth is
quote kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So how do you decode this one?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I've got Fumblruski, Roger Clemens, and hemorrhoids, and we will
combine all of these things together and attempt to not
be the ghost at the feast. We're going to try
not to be the ghost at the feast, all right, So,
first of all, does this not sound awkward?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Am I the only one. Am I the only one
in the room where this sounds like.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I don't think it's awkward, but what he's talking about
it's awkward.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
It is awkward. Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
It's red meat in the lions Den or red meat
at the Kidny table, because well, publicly, the narrative has
been that Jason Kidd was not involved in the decision
making process and was informed of the trade only after
it had been almost complete, so it was like the
(04:40):
eleventh hour, and then Jason Kidd they told them about
it privately. There have always been murmurs since the trade
went down that there was something else going on. A
mirror universe, if you will, mirror mirror on the wall,
an alternative reality in which Jason Kidd had high ranking
(05:02):
conversations with Nico Harrison and actually advocated that something needed
to change with Luke. Now, maybe not a trade.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
But he wasn't happy with Luca and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Now that aside, looking at the Babe Ruth trade, we
don't know the outcome if you do a side by
side comparison with Lucature, we don't know how this is
going to turn out. Luca he could go out and
just fall off the Wagon, but the Red Sox if
you go back to that time in nineteen twenty, the
guy that owned the Red Sox was a theatrical producer
(05:39):
and there was a lot of money in that back
in those days. But he was also about to go
bankrupt because of things that were going on outside of baseball.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But he had problems in baseball too. He bought the
Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I've read a couple of books about this because I'm
a loser, and so this guy bought the Red Sox.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
In like four years early in nineteen sixteen, I think
it was.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
But he bought it with borrowed money, which is always
a bad thing with somebody, even going back then one
hundred plus years ago, when you buy something with borrowed money,
it means you likely don't have enough money for running
a business to pay for the people in the business.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
And so he was having all kinds of problems. The
debt was skyrocketing. So he sold Babe Ruth the Biggest Star.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
For one hundred thousand now in today's money, that would
be one point five million dollars in today's money. And
he also got a three hundred thousand dollars loan from
the guy that.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Owned the Yankees at the time, and that helped pay
the mortgage.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
He would have gone bankrupt on Finway Park. Imagine, well,
back then it was just a normal ballpark. Nobody said, well,
it's kind of stupid they had that green wall now
and now it's revered. It's been around forever. But the
Red Sox also claimed at the time, much like the
Luca trade, if you go back and you read the
books about it, the Red Sox knew that Babe Ruth
(06:59):
was popping. Baseball was a big thing in an American,
big thing in Boston at that time. So they claimed
they traded Babe Ruth because he was out of control
on the field. He was womanizing, he was drinking too much,
and he had a major issue with the manager of
the Red Sox, this guy named Ed Barrow, I believe
was his name. He also had an issue Babe Ruth
(07:19):
with the owner. And I didn't know about this until
I read one of these dopey books. But Babe Ruth,
you know, he actually briefly retired from the Red Sox.
He was at loggerheads with the owner and he retired
from baseball to play golf. It's not a story that's
talked about much, but you can look it up.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I'm not making enough.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
He briefly retired to play golf, and that was after
I think it was like the year before he was traded,
or maybe that offseason before before he was traded. So anyway,
get to the point, please, how does this all relate
to Luca. So my hypothesis, the Mavericks have done similar things.
While they're not saying that Luke is, they're not hitting
(08:02):
all those points they are. I didn't hear the womanizing thing,
but the rest of it I heard was that, you know,
Luca's uncontrollable, he's uncoachable, He's got that I'm better than
everyone syndrome and all that stuff, and he is out
there partying with the hookah, the drinking and all that,
and he's not taking care of himself. Very similar to
(08:23):
the playbook the Red Sox used when they got rid
of Babe Ruth. All right, so my hypothesis, the Luca
Docik trade is trending to be worse than the Babe
Ruth trade. Here's why, Right, the Red Sox when they
got rid of Babe Ruth, they did it because they
had the owner had it to get the money, the Mavericks,
(08:47):
the people that are own the Mavericks, the gambling family.
They don't need the money. They didn't do this for money.
They did it for some other reason. Now the theory
is that the NBA medaled somebody from television medal or
that Nico Harrison is the village idiot. But either way,
it is a fumbbo a fumble Rooskie.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Is what it is. It's an unforced error all right. Now.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Secondly to the NFL we go, and that is where
Justin Fields talk to some reporters this week.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
He's a quarterback, not a good one.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So Justin Field says that he wasn't really comfortable playing
as a backup after he was demoted last year, benched
in favor of Russell Wilson, and then even after Russ
rode the vomit comet, Mike Tomlins like, I.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Want nothing to do with this Justin Fields guy. I
would rather leave Russ out there. So Fields this offseason
joined the Jets. He's a carpetbagger and they're trying to
upsell him with the Jets. He got a two year contract.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Forty million, not all of it guaranteed. Now, later on
when speaking with reporters. Here's where we're gonna get to
the meat of the So Justin Fields was asked about
the very real possibility that the draft, which is two
weeks from today, the Jets will draft a quarterback and
that quarterback will be anointed in the on deck circle
(10:16):
the quarterback and rating that they'll be ready to go
and the baton will be eventually passed to them. So,
when asked about that the possibility the Jets would draft
the quarterback, Justin Field said, quote, I'm not really interested
in rhetorical questions post quote. So how did you grade
Justin Field's response about rhetorical questions and the chatter regarding
(10:40):
the Jets drafting the quarterback?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
So I loved it. I laughed my ass off. I
hope you did too.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
What a great testimonial to Justin and Cincinnati and all
the other Ohio listeners to the educational process, the professors
at Ohio State University. Way to go dot theieboys, dot
the I who goofed? I've got to know who goof?
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Justin Fields pulled.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
A Roger Clemens Rogers and George's box and misremembered, misremember
Justin Field's misremembered the quote from sports cliche dot com,
which I have.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Been contributed to over the years.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Sports cliche dot com they if you look at the
page at the very bottom, they have a list of
contributors and my name's on there. I have contributed to
sports cliche dot com. I have content creator. So a
rhetorical question, I assume you learned this at some point.
A rhetorical question is asked to make a point rather
than get an answer. It's an obvious question, right, obvious question.
(11:40):
You're not trying to get an answer. A hypothetical question
refers to something that is a what if.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
And we do a lot of what if, what if
this happened? What if that happens? What if? What if?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
What?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
We do a lot of that. There's a lot of
what if, right, and so that's part of the job.
And Justin Fields is overjoyed at the idea the Jets
would take a young quarterback to replace him unless he's
not unless it makes him want a puke in his mouth.
All right, final thought, We are going to golf. That's right,
(12:17):
we are going to golf. A whole different ball of wax.
We're going to golf. The reason we're going to golf.
It's Master's week. Get out the green jacket, Grandma, it's
Master's week. It has been said by several snobby golf
pundits that one thing needs to change on the PGA Tour,
(12:40):
and golf must add something that is out of the
playbook of baseball now and basketball, even football has this.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Do you know what it is?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
So the noise, which has been the volume has been
cranked up because the Masters are going on this week.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
But the chatter is that golf needs a shot clock.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
I said it, that golf needs a shot clock similar
to the NBA or a play clock in football, or
the pitch clock in baseball. Question, should the PGA Tour
add a shot clock?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
So I'm nodding my head. Yes. You can't see me.
My eyes are closed. I'm nodding my head.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Yes, in a dark studio, but for some reason, their
lights on because it's gonna be on YouTube later.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
So I'm nodding my head yes.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Okay, So anyway, the reason why, and I'm a casual golfer.
I'm a casual I golf. I used to golf once
a year. Now I'm down to like once every other year.
The reason the PGA Tour and these major golf tournament
should at a shot clock.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Boomtobe, boomtobe. It's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It is a TV show, and it's got to be
rat a tat tat, rat a tat tat. Doing TV,
you gotta go fast, much like I try to do
this show. You gotta keep it moving, Matt. There's nothing
worse in my opinion than watching a TV show or
listening to a radio show or I guess now podcasts
and it's just dull.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
I mean, it is the worst of the way. It
just blows.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Okay, I don't want any part of that. And the
problem that the PGA has. They're in the entertainment business
and the product sucks in terms of the way that
it is broadcast for the rank and file.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
It just does.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now. I know the purists will say, do not mess
with the beauty of the game. Can you imagine how
terrible golf would be if they put in a shot clock.
The player must examine the green, they must look across
the entire hole that they're at.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
They must gauge the wind finger to the wind.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
They got to pick the club, They've got to talk
to the caddy, they've got to pick their nose, they've
got to rub their tucus, and if you take away
the shot clock, that becomes unnatural.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. Yeah, let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I watch golf on television four times a year, the
four Majors, and typically at the end of every weekend
watching golf, I get hemorrhoids because golf is hemorrhoids inducing.
The PGA Tour, you realize the average round is between
four and a half and five hours, four and a
(15:37):
half and five are and you've got these slows on
the tour. Now, I don't want to name any names.
Let's say the initials are Bryson D.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Chambeau. Oh, I guess I gave him his old name,
B D. Bryson D. Chambeau. Okay, this guy I think
I saw somewhere.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
I read one of these stories about the I was
getting ready for the the golf season, the major season,
which begins with the Masters here, and.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
He takes over a minute per shot, over a minute,
and it's very frustrating.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Now you're watching and you guse you get enough time,
you got to walk around. They don't allow the golf
carts and all that. And did you know that they
they've attempted to futz around with the shot clock the
European Tour, which I don't watch. I didn't read about this,
that they had a shot clock of forty seconds. They
tested this back in twenty nineteen, way back. I was
(16:32):
barely alive in twenty nineteen, but that was pre pandemic,
and it did cut the round times a lot like.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It chopped them down quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And the general consensus the arithmetic is one plus one
equals too. That faster play translates into more eyeballs on television,
and then the trickle down economics means you can charge
more for advertise and then make more money, which means.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
You're happy if you're the broadcast partner.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
The PGA is happy because they're getting more money and
the ratings have gone down.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Now, the other thing you can do if you don't.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Want a shot clock is just find a reincarnation of
Tiger Woods, right, do that, by the way. Spoiler alert,
spoiler alert, I did not know this until I started
fussing around. Did you realize that professional golf. They already
have timing rules that under normal conditions, according to the
(17:34):
PGA Tour's pace of Play policy, you get forty seconds.
And it reminds me when I was reading about this,
it reminds me of baseball, because technically baseball never had
a clock, but in the rules they had certain time limits.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
You were supposed to be in the box and all
this stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But much like baseball's rules were rarely enforced, golf it's
rarely enforced.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
And one other thing, while we're at it, since I'm
on my soapbox.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Golf should also allow Heckley. They should allow Heckley. These
guys are mister softies. They are the softest, entitled most.
I mean, we goof on NBA players and you know
NBA players, they've got issues. Everyone's got issues, right, whether
it's Ja Morant being saubtoose. He's moved on from fake
(18:24):
guns to now fake hand grenades or Molotov cocktails.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
They've got issues. But golfers are such wooses.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
That they run and hide from the media. They can't
handle any kind of criticism. They're elitist a holes. And
how much fun would it be for these mister softies
for those of us who are watching the patrons. If
you're allowed to make noise and heckle the golfer while
they are setting up for.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Their shot, how fun would that be? What another layer
of drama be great? I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (18:58):

league baseball team is easier.

because we are about to pay off this is very
valuable real estate. The malor Riddle of the day, and
here it is Ozy Gien, a manager with the White
Sox and briefly the Marlins. Ozzie Gien says, managing a
(21:33):
major league baseball team is easier.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Than blank? All right? Uh is uh is? Uh is

team is easier than winning a benny, Easier than a
dance battle.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Guest by Alf the Alien o Piner.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Going to be a spokesperson for Taco Bell from Milkman
Mike in Colorado making an over easy egg Man, It's
tough to flip, says far Out Dave. Easier than going

Speaker 1 (22:46):
A donkey sausage. Interesting answers today. I like the sausage.
So the great karen Ka making a rare appearance. Let's

Speaker 2 (22:55):
A major chip hazard from the skull king page down
Chris and Kent Washington says easier than milking a.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yak is the answer? Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota says owning a cat is the answer.
Super make Ozzie says managing a baseball team is easier

Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Trucker Joe says it's easier than taking a thirty minute
shower like helmet man.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Kathy in Madison, Wisconsin is up with us all night.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah you're not kidding, No, stra Denis says easier than

least know going in, You know going in those for
Denis because you can see the future, much like myself.
A distant relative of nos True Damas and friend of yours,
no strudenas you know, you know that things are not
gonna go well. Didn't the Mariners get the crazy win though?
(24:11):
As my guy hit a Randy Rose Arena hit a
Grand Slam yesterday. Terry in England says it's easier to
manage in the major leagues. Then stop stopping Robbie the
Mariner fan from eating.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
A Gunner says the answer is managing a baseball team
is easier, absolutely easier than watching the Minnesota Timberwolves blow
a twenty plus point lead in the fourth court of
the Milwaukee Bucks and then hiding from the.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Malors Show of the Day after.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Ricardo says the managing in the major leagues is easier
than dealing with blind Scott.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
That that obviously true, obviously true.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
All right, Lorrae not do you have an answer? Lorraina
the Mallard Riddle of the day. Azygien, former Whites manager,
former Marlins manager, said managing a major league baseball team
is easier than blank.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
I think it's easier than growing a garden.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Ben grow in your garden. You do not have a
green thumb, is that.
Speaker 6 (25:14):
What you're saying now? It's very, very hard for me.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Yeah, also not into cookie.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You'd agree, you're not a big cooking I can, though,
you can.
Speaker 6 (25:24):
I kill everything I try to grow though, So that's
a no go.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, okay, I got you. Well, that is incorrect, Unfortunately,
he turns out.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Ozzie Gan, former White Sox and Marlin's manager, recently said
that managing a Major League baseball team is easier.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Than hosting a sports talk radio show.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
How about that, Yes, Ozzie and claim that, hey, listen,
and my job as a manager was easier than doing
a daily talk show.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
And he's not wrongs, not wrong.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I've known a few managers over the years, three managers,
and they're you know, it's pretty easy gig.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
It is, especially now.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
It's even more more of an easy gig now because
a lot of the work's done for you and you're
just a middle manager and you're essentially pushing buttons.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
And that's it.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
But when you have a daily show, a daily talk
show every day, you can.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Now.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I've always said, like, if you do a talk show
every day, there's points in the year where it's anybody
could do it, Like there's a big story in the
NFL or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
But the thing that is different.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
There's no unlike these lazy NBA players that take nights
off and they don't play back to back, and we
think they should get a purple heart if they play
every game or something like that.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Like you do a daily talk show, you got it.
It's a grind.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
It is the day in and day out, and it
does make it different. Baseball you do one hundred and
sixty two games. You travel on first class planes and
trains and automble beiles and all that stuff, state five
star hotels, and it varies in comparison. It just as
all right, so great, great crup. I'm gonna save that Ozziegan.
(27:11):
He's not alone. There was an NFL player We talked
about this a while back in the previous episode of
the show.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
For the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm on Ross Saint Brown who said that podcasting, which is,
you know, which is a lot easier than live radio.
But podcasting is harder than running a route or a route,
he said, so, but yeah, side by obviously a podcast
that's just a podcast on the weekend, and I've got
(27:40):
the radio show during the week and podcasting is so
much easier than the live radio show.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Not even close, not even close, which is fine.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I mean it's not you know, it's a it's I
listened to some podcasts, not many, but it's a much
easier skill set than doing the live show.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It just is. Anyway, Well, we'll.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Take some calls, and also we have asked Ben coming up.
That's your questions, our answers, And let's say a little
to Greg, who's in the Sunshine State.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
What's going on? Greg? Welcome.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
If you want a tough job. If you want a
tough job, tote bricks around all day, go out.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
There and be construction worker out there, and we actually
do some work.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Talk show host show. You gotta shoot your mouth off. Yeah,
that's yes.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I gotta put up.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
With losers like you, Greg, I got I gotta put
up with a holes like hang up on this loser.
I gotta sit here in the middle of the night,
all right, middle of the night. I got schmucks like you,
losers scum of the earth like Greg and Florida.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I don't know how that guy could call the show.
He's so stupid moron.
Speaker 6 (28:44):
I had to dump him.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Ben.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Let's go to the great Danny DeVito. Now this guy,
this guy's got a job too. We pick up trash.
That's a real job. I'm like that loser Greg who's
got no I don't even know why he's out there.
What a what a moron? That guy is dumb? Hello,
Danny DeVito.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Ben, the power of the President, the S and P
five hundred. I don't know if you're in stock so
I think just that thing went four hundred and seventy
five points with a minute yet today dollars yesterday? Did
you see that? How about?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah? Well, one thing I do have, Danny, I do
have some investments in Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
But I I one thing. It's I treat the stock
market like I treat social media. I check in with it,
but I don't monitor every minute because I'll go crazy.
I don't do it.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, I'm starting to, Ben, I'm starting to because the
gambling is good, but I'm trying to invest my cash
in the market now. I'm trying to to get away
from the gambling.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
It's better and uh, you know there are you know
I I you know you should never take advice, ever
from financial advice from an overnight talk shows, but I
recommend you find those stocks that pay dividends.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
That's the way to go. Man, that's the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
I was told that. I was told that by a
couple of different people, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Yeah, I mean there's some that there's some that are
relatively affordable that will pay a little bit, that's the
way to go.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
And there's others that are you know, the rock solid.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
They don't really pay dividends. And so that's just my
my ten cents.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
And uh, Kevin Durant, I want to ask you about
this guy, Kevin Durant. Uh this is uh my own
personal opinion. If he never joined the Warriors, he would
have done nothing right or won nothing in that league. Right,
are you on board with that? Kevin Durant has done nothing? Uh,
Ben Ever since he left the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Every yeah, everywhere Durant's gone, there's been a malfunction other
than Golden State.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But he wasn't to be fair with the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
He was.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Really good. He was the he was the top player
on those Warrior.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Teams when he was with Curry and Klay Thompson and
those guys, he was the top guy.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
Yeah, he's a talented player, obviously, but I just think
if he never joined that team, he wanted to want nothing.
I mean he's joined the best team at the time,
that was the best team, and he gets joined.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
The that's his resume. That's there. He'll never outlive that, right,
that's the guy's resume.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Yeah, yeah, all right, Ben, I have to get back
to work.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Get Wow. You see that video justin uh he sent
over there. There was a wow. That's wild. It's some
funeral in Pennsylvania. They all went down there putting the
(31:46):
casket down, the whole the whole ground unloaded.
Speaker 6 (31:48):
Oh I heard about that and they fell in.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Yeah, that's that's that's like a horror thing, right, that's
a nightmare situation.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I wonder if they opened up. You know.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
I was driving when I was doing stuff in spring
training in Florida on Highway One there. I was going
to Port Saint Lucie for a spring training I think
it was Port Saint Lucie and there was an accident
on the other side of the traffic was.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Terrible and a hearst was turning.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Left on Highway One and got in a head on
accident and the casket came out of the back of
the hearse.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Now it didn't open, the body fall out, no, the
bit like the hearst. The casket didn't know, but it was.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I'm thinking, as long as I have my faculties into
my last breath, I will I will remember that visual
of driving like there's an accident was I wonder what happened?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
And the boom.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
May said Paul Bear suffered in this one in Pennsylvania.
They had interest through their legs, hands and back and.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
That is that is. Have you seen the clip on this, Lorene?
Have you seen this yet?
Speaker 5 (33:02):

Yeah, I'll send it over here can check it out.
That's that's Nutso me.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Boy, I've been to a few funerals too, so I've
never had that as a concern. Like when I've gone
to the funeral, I've never thought, well, this is something
that could happen.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
I didn't think that would be the the case.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
I have a funeral horror story for you.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Oh yeah, what happened.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
