Speaker 2 (00:19):
Today.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
The N'S just hired a new coach. Some people say
it's a terrible fit. We'll tell you why. It look
perfect choice sports and gambling scandal just rock in the
NBA and these people morons. They're saying it's bad for
the sports.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
They don't know anything exactly. We'll tell you why. It's
clearly good for the sport.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
And uh An NFL Kilb did something that's just so troubling.
If you're not troubled by it, well then you're an idiot.
Sat on you Yeah, on the subject to idiots, look
over that, Tony, because we got a situation we got
to address with our producer over there. First of all,
you know you were just that Fanatics festival New York,
right thanks to the massive appearance fee that you were given.
(00:56):
You know, people were wondering why I wasn't there. Well,
you know they thought five million was for the both
of us. Now that was five million each. That was clear. Well, Tony,
tell everyone how your time went there.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Well, you know, I'd like to show you how it
went there, but unfortunately our idiot producer over there lost
all the footage. Yeah dummy, good job, I didn't. I
didn't lose the footage. I just haven't had time to
offload it yet.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Oh oh, I see he's got to offload it. Yeah, well,
why you do that. I'm going to offload into your mom. Yeah.
There you go. Yeah, backfired on you. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
We'll get all that footage when our producer gets around
through it. But in the meantime, if you don't want

also follow the pod your rate and review the pod
on Apple Podcasts. And you know, we see the numbers
out that people millions of downloads per episode. Meal, you

Speaker 2 (01:56):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
People have the same work ethic as our producer over there.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
I have other things to do.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Oh, other things to do?
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Yeah, like dying.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, here's something for you to do. Shut up, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
All right, Look, we got a lot to do on
this show, so let's get right into our top story story.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
First, out the gate a gambling scandal just rocking the
NBA Diston's player Malik Beasley under investigation in a gambling probe,
accused of betting on games that he played in affecting
the outcome of those bets.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know, Frankly, I don't see what the outrage is
all about here, right, don'ty.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know, what do we always say the best players
in any sport do control the game exactly. Nobody controlled
the game better than Malik Beasley, especially late in the
fourth quarter clutch time, you know, when he would either
force a turnover or more usually deliberately turn the ball
(02:57):
over himself. You know, just total control of both sides
of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Terrific analysis that doty. And you know, with all these
gambling companies you know now working with the leagues, I
don't see why they're prosecuting players for gambling on these games.
I mean, they should be encouraging it, don't you'll think
so dumb?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
You know, imagine if you could get betting advice from
the actual players, Like what if you know Lebron James
came out before the game and said, bet on me
to miss more than twenty shots. Everybody would be taking
that bet. These companies would be swimming in cash.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Such smart advice, Dony, and that's why we're going to
take it ourselves. In fact, we have an exciting announcement
for all of you out there about our betting app,
full scope Bet, America's number one fastest growing betting app.
We are adding an exciting feature for all premium subscribers,

European soccer, and Russian men's tennis. Just please note fullsco

(04:18):
Go ahead download the fullsco Bet app.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Naw.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, very exciting development there for everybody.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Absolutely, and talking about exciting developments here, Tony. The Knicks
just announced they've hired four mccalvs and Lakers coach Mike
Brown to be their new head coach, and Tony, this
was just the perfect choice wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh, totally.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Nobody understands Knicks culture better than Mike Brown.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He can get them back to their roots. Sucking.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know, the Knicks will becoming too good and that's
not what Knicks basketball is all about. This guarantees them
a first round playoff exit and at the very worst,
a second round loss. You know, whatever the case, the
Knicks are solidly back on track.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Just terrific basketball analysis, Tony. And you know another reason
why this is an upgrade, Donny. My sources tell me
that so many people inside the Knicks organization we're getting
tired of having to remember how to spell Tom Thibodeau totally.
You know, like emails were getting kicked back. It was
just like total chaos. But now they won't have that
problem anymore, you know, No.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Mike Brown, very easy to spell problem. Sore problem solved.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Done.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Now let's move to the NFL, where, in a stunning move,
the Dolphins announce that they will be trading with the
Giants for Tight and Darren Waller, even though Waller retired
after the twenty twenty three season. Now many people will
questioning this move, saying it's stupid, not us, right, Donny, No.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean, I've never understood why the Dolphins don't go
after more retired players. You know, nobody knows the culture
in Miami better than retired people. You know, there's tons
of retirees in the area, and what do we always
say matters most with the player experience exactly. Sure, you
(06:11):
know they may be slow and out of shape and frail,
sickly and have early on set dementia, but hey, you
never have to worry about them breaking curfew because they're
in bed by seven pm.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm surprised more teams don't do this, Nay to donni.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, when you think about it, if you only
try to sign active players, well there's only a handful
you could choose from totally. If you look at retired players,
well then there's tens of thousands out there actually, and
you know so many of those players are not potential
Hall of famers but actual Hall of famers.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Frankly, I don't see why the Dolphins even went for
Darren Waller.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
When Tony Gonzalez was sitting there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Available, great boy, Tony, I was thinking the exact same,
thank you guy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, all right, Well to move on here.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We turned our attention to one of the big QLB
battles broughing in the league, this one on the Cleveland Browns.
We have several klbams Batlan for the startup position. Now,
many peopball idiots, you think Shadia Sanders should get the
starting job, don't.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's clearly the wrong move here is one hundred.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
There's no better quarterback to lead the Browns than Joe Flacco.
You know, people forget that Joe Flacco once beat DeMar
Hamlin for Comeback Player of the Year. You know, think
about that Damar Hamlin died and came back to life.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's the ultimate comeback.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And still everyone agreed Joe Flacco's comeback was even better.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Right now, there's no DEBTA franchise than the Browns, so
Flacco's clearly their best option, you know, unless Nick Foleson retires.
But our sources tell us that's not happening, you know,
of course, our source being Nick Foles himself.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Exactly. You got great inside reporting there by us. But hey,
why we're talking nfl qbindos. We do have to mention
this Patriots quarterback Drake May just got married to his
girlfriend and Michael Hudson who he's known since middle school.
Now payball, they're saying this is sweet, wonderful, YadA YadA,
dony If you're a Patriots fan, you've got to find
(08:19):
the scrubling, don't you.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh totally.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
This really just makes me question Drake May's decision making.
You want a quarterback who looks at different options at receiver,
Drake May clearly just went with his first option. He
didn't even bother looking at any of the others. I mean,
where do you think the term playing the field comes from?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean, you know, you look at Patrick Mahomes, married
his high school golfriend. He never even bothered looking at
all the options, exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
And that's why he had to become a running quarterback,
because he was just so bad at looking around.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And you know you look at the other side of this,
don'ty Aaron Rodgers never met dating different actresses, bouncing around,
you know, exploring too many options, paralysis by analysis, just
whole decision making, could never seem to find the right fit.
And now look, just bouncing from theme to theme, you
know exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You know that's why Jalen Hurts did it right.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Sure, Yep, he met his girlfriend in college, which is
a little too early, little early, yeah, but you know
he waited to propose, He explored all the options, read
through all the progressions, and before settling back on his
college sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You know, just great field awareness.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Exactly, absolutely Tony, and we're talking, you know, around this subject.
Let's turn our attention to the WNBA the women, you know,
which again is something we never thought we'd actually say
that we must turn our attention from him. But anyway,
several controversies brewing there. First, in a recent players only vote,
the players ranked Caitlin Clark ninth among all guards in
(09:59):
the league. Some people that's saying, God, that's jealousy. This
is stupid, Donnie. They don't get it, do they? No,
not at all. You know, by definition, what does a
god do keep people out? That doesn't just apply to players,
but fans in the arena too. There's so many other
WNBA players who are so good at guarding and keeping
(10:23):
fans out of the arenas. You know, when you think
about it, the less fans you have in the stands,
the less distractions, the more you can focus on basketball.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Caitlin Clark is terrible at keeping fans out of the Arenas,
so in my opinion, she should actually be ranked way lower.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Just undebatable points all around that, Donny. And you know,
a lot of players in the WNBA they're still chirping
about their salaries because that they had, you know, forty
times less than the average NBA player. But they're not
seeing the big picture, are they at dony No.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
They don't get it.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
You know, I know this might sound somewhat controversial, but
I think it's great that WNBA players are so underpaid.
You know, they play hungry because they're actually hungry, you know,
since they're all underpaid and can't afford to live. You know,
you could see their hunger to win and also to eat.
(11:21):
You know, NBA players are so spoiled and lazy with
their huge salaries in their full stomachs, it takes away
their hunger and also slows them down because you know,
all the food in the stomach. You know, personally, I
think the WNBA players should be paid even less.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Controversial, Danke, Dunny, but must be said, you know, and
you know, when you think about it, what's the most
successful movie franchise of the century, The Hunger Games exactly?
You know, if they called it the full stomach Games.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Nobody would see the movie.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, you know, the WNB is basically just the Hunger
Games in real life, just with more lesbians.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Great point that, Tony, All right, well look, you know
we got some dime left in the show is so
you know, it's July. So we're gonna do it because
we understand the sports doc business better than anybody else, Tony.
And what you do in July, you don't sit and
come up with a bunch of days a waste to die.
What you do is you just open the phone lines
and you let other people come up with the tanks
(12:27):
and you just sit back and you go out that relax.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Good. That was bad, usually bad.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Anyway, We're gonna do that coming up after the break.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We'll be right back. We all know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The worst part about having clothing, lawn, chaundry. There you go, Well,
what if you never had to do laundry again? Well,
there's one simple way by there you go. That's why
you gotta hit up our sponsor, Fresh Clean Threads.
Speaker 2 (12:52):

Speaker 3 (12:54):
I haven't done my laundry in two years, and that's
all because I bought eight one hundred shirts from Fresh
Clean threads. This shirt is comfortable, looks great, feels soft,
and best of all, I'm saving money by not having
to buy laundry detergent. I don't even know how to

July is all about you just fill in space. You're
fill in the ad time, you know, and we're great
at that. But even we have our limits, you know,
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna open up
the phone lines, get some takes from you out there.
See what you got to say? Yeah, you know, probably
(14:19):
wind up regretting this, but let's go ahead and open
up the hot take hotline. Okay, producer, people they've been
sending in their videos with their takes. Hopefully it didn't
lose the ball like it did with the fanatics for actually,
you know, hopefully you can offload these, can you. Yeah
(14:42):
he's just staring at you. Okay, Yeah, he's angry. Okay,
look well here do your job. Tell us who's the
first first video you got back?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah? First got this one's from Caid in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right, Caid in Los Angeles, all right, play the clip,
go hot take.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Jalen Hurd says not a top ten quarterback. Top ten
Josh Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert Lamar, Stafford, Jaden Daniels, C. J. Stroud, Baker, Mayfield,
Jordan Love.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
All Right, First of all, that deake was terrible from
the get go. You know, first of all, you went
too fast. You gotta slow that exactly. I thought your
people in La moved slow. You know, they were laid back,
you know exactly, and they just going through fast. And
number two is that take was so backwards. Did you
see his shirt.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Downy, Yeah, it was backwards. The shirt was backwards, and
then the Laker's logo on it.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
The logo was back He doesn't even know what the
lake is logo supposed to look.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Doesn't exactly, doesn't know what the logo looks like.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
None.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That went back to typical la what.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
He was shooting in selfie mode, so it reverses everything.
That's why it was backwards.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, you should shoot your selfie if you catch my drift.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
You know what else I do backwards? Your mom?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
There you go, shut up, shut up to tell us
who's next with the next video?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Liam from Canada?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
All right, Liam from Canada, I play it go.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Barkley is the greatest basketball player of all time. Yeah
you heard me, Basketball not football. People say, Liam, that's insane.
Sac one plays in the NFL. To that, I say,
position irrelevant?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
What is this? You know? This is why we can't
like Canadians on the show. They don't know anything anything
about sports. I don't even think he knows what a
sport is.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
No exactly, you know, it's probably because it's freezing cold
up there that his brain cells froze over.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
His brain cells. Yeah, they froze over.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Short.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
What it's summer in Canada now, it's it's like seventy
five degrees in Toronto right now?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh yeah, well it's going to be seventy. I have
one hundred degrees and you're a pot that when I
light it on fire.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, just shut up already, you know, just just play
the next one.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Can you just play the next one? And stop interrupted? Stop?
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Although I gotta say, Tony, I actually guided the interruptions.
You know, these takes are so terrible. I can't decide
which is worse. Yeah, I have to agree with you,
all right?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Anyway, all right? Who's this next one? From?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
This one is from Kyle in Canada?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh so after all that, you pick a Canadian?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Are you even one? Are you even watching the show?
Are you?
Speaker 1 (17:31):

even one? I look play the video go you.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Are you sure he's staring at us? Like again, just
keep playing it fine, let's keep going it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So first off, I just got to say something that
no one else has. The goal say out loud, produce
a deserves a race.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
This is all the clips you select, Yeah, that's the one.
You're the hotline. It's hang up.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You know you know that. Now we do the show.
That was too much work, too much Mark. In fact,
I'm sweating you. Yeah, they were supposed to like in
the law. I wish I was in Canada right now
where it could be colder, because I'm just sweating from
all that bad.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We need to go to Canada to cool off a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Let's just wrap the show.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm gonna wrap duct tape around your mouth.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Corrections.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What is it you get?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Go? You said players should be able to bet on
games they're playing it.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Yeah, bro, it's called interactivity. Bro, it's called stupid. That
would ruin the integrity of all sports. It's that that's
just a terrible idea in every possible way.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Oh yeah, well, you know what, I'm going to bet
on you dying tonight.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, every way possible is how I'm gonna bang your
mom o.

Great one.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
And by the way, you said about Drake May marrying
his first option. Ye, that was offensive.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Well, you're gonna marry your only option, your right hand.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
There you go, and then you'll be able to easily

NBA Diston's player Malik Beasley under investigation in a gambling probe,
accused of betting on games that he played in affecting
the outcome of those bets.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You know, Frankly, I don't see what the outrage is
all about here, right, don'ty.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, me neither.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
You know, what do we always say the best players
in any sport do control the game exactly. Nobody controlled
the game better than Malik Beasley, especially late in the
fourth quarter clutch time, you know, when he would either
force a turnover or more usually deliberately turn the ball
(02:57):
over himself. You know, just total control of both sides
of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Terrific analysis that doty. And you know, with all these
gambling companies you know now working with the leagues, I
don't see why they're prosecuting players for gambling on these games.
I mean, they should be encouraging it, don't you'll think
so dumb?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Of course?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
You know, imagine if you could get betting advice from
the actual players, Like what if you know Lebron James
came out before the game and said, bet on me
to miss more than twenty shots. Everybody would be taking
that bet. These companies would be swimming in cash.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Such smart advice, Dony, and that's why we're going to
take it ourselves. In fact, we have an exciting announcement
for all of you out there about our betting app,

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Naw.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Yeah, very exciting development there for everybody.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Absolutely, and talking about exciting developments here, Tony. The Knicks
just announced they've hired four mccalvs and Lakers coach Mike
Brown to be their new head coach, and Tony, this
was just the perfect choice wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
Oh, totally.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Nobody understands Knicks culture better than Mike Brown.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
He can get them back to their roots. Sucking.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
You know, the Knicks will becoming too good and that's
not what Knicks basketball is all about. This guarantees them
a first round playoff exit and at the very worst,
a second round loss. You know, whatever the case, the
Knicks are solidly back on track.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Just terrific basketball analysis, Tony. And you know another reason
why this is an upgrade, Donny. My sources tell me
that so many people inside the Knicks organization we're getting
tired of having to remember how to spell Tom Thibodeau totally.
You know, like emails were getting kicked back. It was
just like total chaos. But now they won't have that
problem anymore, you know, No.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Mike Brown, very easy to spell problem. Sore problem solved.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Done.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Well.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Now let's move to the NFL, where, in a stunning move,
the Dolphins announce that they will be trading with the
Giants for Tight and Darren Waller, even though Waller retired
after the twenty twenty three season. Now many people will
questioning this move, saying it's stupid, not us, right, Donny, No.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
I mean, I've never understood why the Dolphins don't go
after more retired players. You know, nobody knows the culture
in Miami better than retired people. You know, there's tons
of retirees in the area, and what do we always
say matters most with the player experience exactly. Sure, you
(06:11):
know they may be slow and out of shape and frail,
sickly and have early on set dementia, but hey, you
never have to worry about them breaking curfew because they're
in bed by seven pm.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm surprised more teams don't do this, Nay to donni.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I mean, when you think about it, if you only
try to sign active players, well there's only a handful
you could choose from totally. If you look at retired players,
well then there's tens of thousands out there actually, and
you know so many of those players are not potential
Hall of famers but actual Hall of famers.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Frankly, I don't see why the Dolphins even went for
Darren Waller.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
When Tony Gonzalez was sitting there.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Available, great boy, Tony, I was thinking the exact same,
thank you guy.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Yeah, all right, Well to move on here.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
We turned our attention to one of the big QLB
battles broughing in the league, this one on the Cleveland Browns.
We have several klbams Batlan for the startup position. Now,
many peopball idiots, you think Shadia Sanders should get the
starting job, don't.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
That's clearly the wrong move here is one hundred.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
There's no better quarterback to lead the Browns than Joe Flacco.
You know, people forget that Joe Flacco once beat DeMar
Hamlin for Comeback Player of the Year. You know, think
about that Damar Hamlin died and came back to life.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's the ultimate comeback.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And still everyone agreed Joe Flacco's comeback was even better.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You know.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Right now, there's no DEBTA franchise than the Browns, so
Flacco's clearly their best option, you know, unless Nick Foleson retires.
But our sources tell us that's not happening, you know,
of course, our source being Nick Foles himself.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Exactly. You got great inside reporting there by us. But hey,
why we're talking nfl qbindos. We do have to mention
this Patriots quarterback Drake May just got married to his
girlfriend and Michael Hudson who he's known since middle school.
Now payball, they're saying this is sweet, wonderful, YadA YadA,
dony If you're a Patriots fan, you've got to find
(08:19):
the scrubling, don't you.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh totally.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
This really just makes me question Drake May's decision making.
You want a quarterback who looks at different options at receiver,
Drake May clearly just went with his first option. He
didn't even bother looking at any of the others. I mean,
where do you think the term playing the field comes from?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Exactly?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean, you know, you look at Patrick Mahomes, married
his high school golfriend. He never even bothered looking at
all the options, exactly.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
And that's why he had to become a running quarterback,
because he was just so bad at looking around.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
And you know you look at the other side of this,
don'ty Aaron Rodgers never met dating different actresses, bouncing around,
you know, exploring too many options, paralysis by analysis, just
whole decision making, could never seem to find the right fit.
And now look, just bouncing from theme to theme, you
know exactly.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
You know that's why Jalen Hurts did it right.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Sure, Yep, he met his girlfriend in college, which is
a little too early, little early, yeah, but you know
he waited to propose, He explored all the options, read
through all the progressions, and before settling back on his
college sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
You know, just great field awareness.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Exactly, absolutely Tony, and we're talking, you know, around this subject.
Let's turn our attention to the WNBA the women, you know,
which again is something we never thought we'd actually say
that we must turn our attention from him. But anyway,
several controversies brewing there. First, in a recent players only vote,
the players ranked Caitlin Clark ninth among all guards in
(09:59):
the league. Some people that's saying, God, that's jealousy. This
is stupid, Donnie. They don't get it, do they? No,
not at all. You know, by definition, what does a
god do keep people out? That doesn't just apply to players,
but fans in the arena too. There's so many other
WNBA players who are so good at guarding and keeping
(10:23):
fans out of the arenas. You know, when you think
about it, the less fans you have in the stands,
the less distractions, the more you can focus on basketball.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Caitlin Clark is terrible at keeping fans out of the Arenas,
so in my opinion, she should actually be ranked way lower.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Just undebatable points all around that, Donny. And you know,
a lot of players in the WNBA they're still chirping
about their salaries because that they had, you know, forty
times less than the average NBA player. But they're not
seeing the big picture, are they at dony No.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
They don't get it.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
You know, I know this might sound somewhat controversial, but
I think it's great that WNBA players are so underpaid.
You know, they play hungry because they're actually hungry, you know,
since they're all underpaid and can't afford to live. You know,
you could see their hunger to win and also to eat.
(11:21):
You know, NBA players are so spoiled and lazy with
their huge salaries in their full stomachs, it takes away
their hunger and also slows them down because you know,
all the food in the stomach. You know, personally, I
think the WNBA players should be paid even less.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Controversial, Danke, Dunny, but must be said, you know, and
you know, when you think about it, what's the most
successful movie franchise of the century, The Hunger Games exactly?
You know, if they called it the full stomach Games.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Nobody would see the movie.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, you know, the WNB is basically just the Hunger
Games in real life, just with more lesbians.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Great point that, Tony, All right, well look, you know
we got some dime left in the show is so
you know, it's July. So we're gonna do it because
we understand the sports doc business better than anybody else, Tony.
And what you do in July, you don't sit and
come up with a bunch of days a waste to die.
What you do is you just open the phone lines
and you let other people come up with the tanks
(12:27):
and you just sit back and you go out that relax.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Good. That was bad, usually bad.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Anyway, We're gonna do that coming up after the break.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
We'll be right back. We all know.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
The worst part about having clothing, lawn, chaundry. There you go, Well,
what if you never had to do laundry again? Well,
there's one simple way by there you go. That's why
you gotta hit up our sponsor, Fresh Clean Threads.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Isn't that right, Tony?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I haven't done my laundry in two years, and that's
all because I bought eight one hundred shirts from Fresh
Clean threads. This shirt is comfortable, looks great, feels soft,
and best of all, I'm saving money by not having
to buy laundry detergent. I don't even know how to
(13:16):
use a laundry machine. Yep, thank you, Fresh Clean Threads.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
We're back from bray Tony. As we said, it's July,
and you know, when you're in July, it's hot. You know,
July is all about you just fill in space. You're
fill in the ad time, you know, and we're great
at that. But even we have our limits, you know,
So what we're gonna do is we're gonna open up
the phone lines, get some takes from you out there.
See what you got to say? Yeah, you know, probably
(14:19):
wind up regretting this, but let's go ahead and open
up the hot take hotline. Okay, producer, people they've been
sending in their videos with their takes. Hopefully it didn't
lose the ball like it did with the fanatics for actually,
you know, hopefully you can offload these, can you. Yeah
(14:42):
he's just staring at you. Okay, Yeah, he's angry. Okay,
look well here do your job. Tell us who's the
first first video you got back?
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Yeah? First got this one's from Caid in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
All right, Caid in Los Angeles, all right, play the clip,
go hot take.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Jalen Hurd says not a top ten quarterback. Top ten
Josh Allen, Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert Lamar, Stafford, Jaden Daniels, C. J. Stroud, Baker, Mayfield,
Jordan Love.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
All Right, First of all, that deake was terrible from
the get go. You know, first of all, you went
too fast. You gotta slow that exactly. I thought your
people in La moved slow. You know, they were laid back,
you know exactly, and they just going through fast. And
number two is that take was so backwards. Did you
see his shirt.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Downy, Yeah, it was backwards. The shirt was backwards, and
then the Laker's logo on it.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
The logo was back He doesn't even know what the
lake is logo supposed to look.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Doesn't exactly, doesn't know what the logo looks like.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
None.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
That went back to typical la what.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
He was shooting in selfie mode, so it reverses everything.
That's why it was backwards.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Well, you should shoot your selfie if you catch my drift.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
You know what else I do backwards? Your mom?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
There you go, shut up, shut up to tell us
who's next with the next video?
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Liam from Canada?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
All right, Liam from Canada, I play it go.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
Barkley is the greatest basketball player of all time. Yeah
you heard me, Basketball not football. People say, Liam, that's insane.
Sac one plays in the NFL. To that, I say,
position irrelevant?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
What is this? You know? This is why we can't
like Canadians on the show. They don't know anything anything
about sports. I don't even think he knows what a
sport is.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
No exactly, you know, it's probably because it's freezing cold
up there that his brain cells froze over.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
His brain cells. Yeah, they froze over.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Short.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
What it's summer in Canada now, it's it's like seventy
five degrees in Toronto right now?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Oh yeah, well it's going to be seventy. I have
one hundred degrees and you're a pot that when I
light it on fire.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
Yeah, just shut up already, you know, just just play
the next one.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Can you just play the next one? And stop interrupted? Stop?
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Although I gotta say, Tony, I actually guided the interruptions.
You know, these takes are so terrible. I can't decide
which is worse. Yeah, I have to agree with you,
all right?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Anyway, all right? Who's this next one? From?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
This one is from Kyle in Canada?
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Oh so after all that, you pick a Canadian?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Are you even one? Are you even watching the show?
Are you?
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I don't think Maybe your brain froze over if there's
even one? I look play the video go you.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Know what's up.
Speaker 7 (17:38):
I'm Kyle Anderson, I'm eighteen, I'm from Toronto, Canada.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And yes we do have Wi Fi if here. Thank
you for wait.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
This guy's from Canada you said he's got a Boston accident.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Are you sure he's staring at us? Like again, just
keep playing it fine, let's keep going it.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So first off, I just got to say something that
no one else has. The goal say out loud, produce
a deserves a race.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
This is all the clips you select, Yeah, that's the one.
You're the hotline. It's hang up.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
You know you know that. Now we do the show.
That was too much work, too much Mark. In fact,
I'm sweating you. Yeah, they were supposed to like in
the law. I wish I was in Canada right now
where it could be colder, because I'm just sweating from
all that bad.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We need to go to Canada to cool off a
little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Let's just wrap the show.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You can't.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
I'm gonna wrap duct tape around your mouth.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Corrections.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
What is it you get?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Go? You said players should be able to bet on
games they're playing it.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
Yeah, bro, it's called interactivity. Bro, it's called stupid. That
would ruin the integrity of all sports. It's that that's
just a terrible idea in every possible way.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Oh yeah, well, you know what, I'm going to bet
on you dying tonight.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Yeah, every way possible is how I'm gonna bang your
mom o.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Great one.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
And by the way, you said about Drake May marrying
his first option. Ye, that was offensive.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Well, you're gonna marry your only option, your right hand.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
There you go, and then you'll be able to easily
put a ring on it so it exacts out perfectly
for you. Oh but you know it just worked out perfectly.
