Thank you for hanging out with us today the return

Everyone's taking a run at it. This segment is brought
to you by Rollertown Beer Works up there in Salina, Texas.
Been and I are the partners in that brewery and man,

season from two to seven local vendors, live music pre
order links for all this can be found on our
social media and then also it culminates in live comedy
night Free Comedians or Des O'Neil, Danny Tran and Michael Passfar.
Should be a lot of fun. So hey, make plans

(00:41):
to go to the brewery, and of course you can
pick us up all over the Metroplex to go at
places like Tom thom Albertson's HB Total Wine and more.
It's a big thing. It's Rollertown Beer Works. But right
now it's time for this.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
It's time to go into the biting scription.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, all right.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
So the twenty eighteen NBA Draft happened on June twenty
first of twenty eighteen.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
What a day.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
So if we were to go back seven years on
this day, we would have been pretty excited about the
Dallas Mavericks having the number five pick in the draft.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
We would have not been excited. We would have been disappointed,
but we would have been sitting there going, I think
we can get Mobamba at five and I think he's
finally gonna get this franchise turned around.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
Could it be Wendell Carter Junior?

Speaker 5 (01:28):
No, dude, you.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Want a pair a bomba with Dennis Smith Junior and
just watch the future unfold in a magical way.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
So what we did is we got a holds of
bloggers from different teams throughout that week. We might approach
another one on Friday involving one of these teams, but OK,
for today, it was my guy from the Sun's blog
because the Suns had the number one pick. Yeah, and
they could have taken Luka Doncic maybe lots of people,

(01:58):
but instead of having you guys talk to this fella,
who better than Billy ray Brooks and Mitch Marblemouth McCoy. Incredible,
These Texas sports boys. Uh, you know, I don't really
know how much of a set up these Texas sports
boys really need country guys fired up. One of them
he's got crap in his mouth. He just can't understand.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
He's definitely a boom hour.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
So, uh, they're real fired up. And uh, this is
a kind of a pre draft. Look with the Sons
who have the number one pick of the draft.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
Pook Dog is an NBA draft because we Dallas Mavericks
of Dallas got themselves a badass top five pick guaranteed
that these other four teams are gonna blow it and
the next Michael Jordan is gonna fall directly into the
lap of the Dallas Mavericks. And Uh, you know what
I gotta say to you right now, Mitch, is you
know when you look at.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
The jaws of this draft, that is amazingly prophetic because
it happen. DeAndre Ayton didn't work out, Bagley was trash.
I mean, you did get a young ended up being
fine and uh, Jack solid, But they did get the
next Michael Jordan falling in their life. They did as

(03:10):
Jordan went number three. Look at number three.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Is you know when you look at the depth of
this draft, is it a four man draft and the
MAVs are screwed? Or is it a five man draft
and the MAVs are set for life.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
And Ryan on many and the im anything nothing marrying
on their in mind and mind of them getting the
black dirkny Ah.

Speaker 6 (05:26):
You do that when Trey Young's available next team?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
As it's all about that versatility.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Versatility, I don't know what does that mean? You're trying
to get people from all over places? I don't what
word is that.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
You've got to have a guy who's gonna be able to,
uh to do a whole lot of different things. Choop, pass,
play off, the ball on the ball just makes everything
easier one.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
Around a guy that you wanted to kind of glint
right answer the questions asking if you wanted to click
or not?

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, I mean you've got to have a guy that
Devin Booker is not gonna be able to do it
on his own.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
And I forgot y'all had Booker? Who else?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
Y'all got a good question?

Speaker 2 (05:59):
Josh Jackson the number four pick in last year's draft,
and uh drug and Bender number four picks?

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Dragon Bender?

Speaker 4 (06:05):
What is he from?

Speaker 5 (06:06):
Lower to the flies? I don't understand, you know, Dragon Bender?

Speaker 3 (06:09):
What does he?

Speaker 2 (06:09):
You know what?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
They're million round like Garnerman, game of their own right?

Speaker 4 (06:13):
That sound like dragons?

Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know them? Women?

Speaker 5 (06:18):
And here what I want to know? You bring Donkey
Itch in there? How is it?

Speaker 6 (06:22):
How do you know who's going to have the ball?
Because if I were called Devin Booker, he likes to dribble.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
He sure does. But you know, they brought in New
York A Koskov, the coach that had on his team
last year, and he made it work with with Dantic
and Gordon Dragitch, who also played in Phoenix.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
I the one of the ling when you got in
there and denre a right out of you Unverne Arizona,
and you got.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
A drafting buy named Donkey Itch.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Haydon's the guy that the rest of the the city
seems to want. I do think that'll be their pick
in the end.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
Well, no, they better not do that.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
I wouldn't do that, you know, I wouldn't do that
because y'all got a gentleman I like to call tass
and mother e f and chambon. And he was here
when we want a ring. We all got rings, we
all got bleams, we all got nice things because of him.
You don't need no other center when you got taxing.
So your whole donkey philosophy makes sense. A donkey Joe.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
The last time he was good was in Dallas, So
he's he's not the answer.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Speaker 6 (07:22):
Are you tires?

Speaker 5 (07:22):
Shots fire are fire, and shots at our guy sh shouts,
and everybody around you pray your mother scretcher man the help.

(07:43):
He's shouting you fire and shots.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Being honest. This guy that he's nearing the end of
his career.

Speaker 5 (07:49):
I think this, hold on, hold on a second.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
Anytime somebody fire shots, we gotta go to my guy,
Mitch McCoy. You know he's on that nineteen eighthing Jammishi team.
Nobody knows more about the hoops than Mitch.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Mitch.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
Take this food of tasks.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Well, let mean you know a little man Brandan Lean,
and that your rental name Diamond Naylor won them monitorings
in before monitors inter name Lean. But then you know
Myney talking about being a row spinning high but on
the ram for Dann Ram, get down that I being
a row, Broy that Garl got him out. Don't live
me in dow the lane. Grain, Ay, boy, you don't
think dying down? And got what you got his name?
And I think you know man real you gotta hey,

(08:22):
let me ask you a question. Brendan, you ever heard
of the band Imagine dragons? I have well, imagine draggon
his nuts on your face. You just got old son.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
What's your responsing dunk?

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Don't hey?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
I mean we'll see what happened but Tyson Chandler couldn't
even make it through back to back game. He's he's
getting up there. I don't think he would disagree with
what I'm saying at all.

Speaker 6 (08:50):
I mean, I ain't no man, You're on the road,
and it's quite possible you're gonna lose your media credential
over this interview.

Speaker 4 (08:57):
It's so bad.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
But I like you.

Speaker 6 (08:59):
You you got swagger, you got spunk, and you I
can I like the add the name of the blog.
But I mean, you've messed up everything from projecting the
pick and you got owned by a couple of East
Texas sports boys. What do you want to say for yourself?

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Hey, Well, I mean I I hope for your guys' sake,
you get a good player too, because you know, you
guys are are struggling just as much as we are.
Nobody wants to be picking in the top five. But
I think you're right, it's a deep draft. I think well,
I think we could both walk away happy and we
can disagree about Tyson Chandler, but maybe come June twenty first,
we'll actually both have a player we can get excited about.

Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, I got like the running you Nan we Nang nang.
We ain't gotta like you.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
No, we all agree on them terms. Who's your favorite
member of van Halen.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
The one that the band's named after.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
I don't have. I feel like you don't know nothing
about basketball or Van Halen.

Today Ben is back and everything is right with the world.
I'll never forget the time Katie looked all four original
members of Van Halen dead in their eye. He pulled
down his pants and he said the poon is a
bit of a mystery, and David.
