Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our name, bir three. Our three
is percolating in the air everywhere, and we talk about
a fascinating story out of the world of sports. The
Mavericks have done something that you're never supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
They're doing the thing you can't do at the time
you gotta do it.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
The Mavericks are offering refunds to disgruntled season ticket holders.
This over the Luca trade to the Lakers. Is this
a big deal, a little deal or no deal? Also,
SunStar Kevin Durant's name has been floated as a possibility
to return to the Golden State Warriors. How exactly would

(00:46):
that work? And we'll talk some baseball. The Blue Jays
have standing offers for both Pete Alonzo and Alex Bregman.
What happens next, We'll try to figure that out. We'll
get to all of that and more right now.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Settle in. It's our number three. You did what you
can't do that you know.

Speaker 1 (01:10):

Speaker 2 (02:15):

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Over the latest point spreads. But our lead this hour.
He is from Dallas. The fallout continues after the mav
Rex gave away the family jewels. You're never supposed to
give away the family jewels and.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Man did they do that? Wow?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Wawsers Wausers, Wauserswausers. And there will be many stories that
come out, Books will be written years from now about
this episode and what a debacle it is with the
post mortem on that trade which still has life, still
has life. There's been an uprising in Dallas.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
If you have not.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Been paying attention, the natives are not happy.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
They are not happy.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Anarchy, rebellion, underground fighting, the resistance of the Mavericks. It's
pretty wild, and I get it the closest come. I
was talking to somebody about the brewhaha going on with
Luca and it reminded me of the absolute outrage. This

(03:32):
is a different generation, but I'm going to date myself.
The Dodgers had a player who was the most popular
player in LA. The Lakers didn't have a very good
team at the time, and not that the Dodgers were
winning anything, but they were a playoff team and they
had this guy that everyone in town loved.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
He was the biggest star in sports in LA.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
There was no NFL in LA, and the Dodgers traded him.
Mike Piazza was his name, and there was quite the hullabaloo.
It was wild when that happened. They traded him to
the Florida Marlins.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
And there was chaos and bit of mayhem for a while.
That's a long time ago.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
It's different now because of social media, the insubordination, the
disobedience gets played a lot more. But this Luka Doncic
trade is next level, right. So the MAVs, if you
didn't hear.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
What they've done, they've offered refunds.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
They've offered refunds to fans who have canceled season tickets
as a direct result of them saying bye bye to
Luca Donzig and sending him to the Lakers. Now, in
a prepared statement from some, vice president b Lowhard of
the Dallas basketball team said via text message, we value

(04:54):
every season ticket member relationship and the reps are available
to take call members with any concerns or questions. So
that is not directly answering the question. But there are
TV stations in Dallas that claim they have the receipts,
they have evidence from season ticket holders that have gotten

(05:16):
their money back, So wowsers.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
So let us discuss the question.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
The Mavericks, based on the evidence, are offering refunds money
back to disgruntled season ticket holders because they got rid
of the franchise player, Luca Donzig. Is this a big deal,
a little deal or no deal?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
All right?

Speaker 1 (05:44):
So I've got Madonna, cigar smoke, and military jargon, and
we will combine all of these things together and try
to dodge a bullet, is what we're going to try
to do. So, first of all, this this is not
a little deal. It's not no deal. It's not a
big deal. It is a ginormous deal, is what this is.

(06:07):
We live in a world of professional sports where all sales.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
Are final, no returns.

Speaker 1 (06:14):
You leave the store, it's yours, and you're paying to
see the uniform. It doesn't matter if the star player
is there or not.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Now, there's a story that I heard years.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Ago, and I've only been to one Broadway show and
I hated it. There was too much singing, too much
for me. It was an old theater in Manhattan, the
seats were small, I didn't my legs were too long.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
It was not a good experience.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
And I learned this though, years ago that on Broadway
it's not really publicized, but if the headliner at a
Broadway show that is right there above the above the marquee,
as they say, they're build above the title in the
Broadway show, if that performer is out because of illness,
or they're on vacation, or they've got the snank or whatever,

(07:09):
right the people that bought the tickets, the theater goer
is entitled to a full refund or a ticket exchange.
That doesn't work like that in professional sports. So by
the Mavericks offering money back. They're acting like the lyrics
of that old Madonna song, Oh Father, I have sinned.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Actions speak louder than words.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
We've all learned that throughout our lives, and we all
know that to be true. And so despite doing everything
they can publicly by planning stories that Luca is an alcoholic,
that he should go to a fat farm, and all
these other stories, this is a confessional by the Dallas Matters.
They are admitting a betrayal of the relationship with the

(07:58):
fan and this is a boondoggle. It is an admission
the Mavericks have announced to the rest of the sporting world.
We are the Dallas Mavericks. We soiled our underwear. We
screwed the pooch, we messed up. Now some have said

(08:18):
they're looking to cut the class action lawsuit the Billboard
lawyers off at the pass. I don't believe that to
be true. There have been many lawsuits that have been
filed over the years, people demanding money back because somebody
got hurt, a star player got hurt, or there were
other star players that got traded, and in court it

(08:42):
has been determined and asked legal beagles this it has
been determined by the courts that when you buy a
ticket to a sporting event, you are buying a ticket
to watch the uniform. You're there to watch the laundry.
You're not there to watch the player. Even when these
teams market the headline player, the court system decided it

(09:05):
doesn't matter you're there.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
They could put any kind of.

Speaker 1 (09:09):
Strapper, any kind of JABBRONI Dingleberry out there on the
court wearing that.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Uniform, and you get what you get, and you're gonna
like it. You're not gonna win any ground.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So they the Mavericks would have won if they'd gone
to court, if somebody had sued them, But by paying
out money, and who knows how much they're gonna have
to end up paying out the Dallas Mavericks. And now
if you start paying some people out, don't you have
to pay everybody out that wants a refund?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Is and that normally how that works. What a mess?
What a mess.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
It also is an indication that you know, is there
something else going on, right big brother NBA, or it
was a mandated to do this. I'm starting to lean
more that direction based on the fact that the Mavericks
are offering refunds like they realize, hey, they're moral compass there.
They're like, well, we screwed this up and we need

(10:05):
to give people their money back.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Need to do them a solid now. Secondly, as we
close in on the and be a trade.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Deadline, which is coming up here in a couple of days,
the Suns I think it's tomorrow. The Suns continue to
test the wind to gauge the market for Kevin Durant.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
The Golden State Warriors said to be hot and heavy
bird dogging KD. But they are not the only team
trying to find a way to get Durant. They're at
thirty six years old and he's on a Sun's team.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
That it's like a seesaw back and forth, right back
and forth, not really getting anywhere.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
The mav Rex believe it or not, and the Rockets
are also said to be observing gauging the market as
well for Kevin Durant now the big one which has
been bouncing around the pinball machine of sports chatter, Golden
State Kevin Durant would end up with the Warriors and

(11:15):
Jimmy Butler would end up in Phoenix, and supposedly this
is in play be a three team trade, so let
us discuss this.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
The Suns. Kevin Durant, his name.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Has been floated over the last few hours as a
possibility to return to the Golden State Warriors. How would
that work? Considering how Kevin Durant exited stage left, So
how would that work? It would work like good business

(11:48):
is how it worked, This type of move, which will
only pour fuel jet fuel on the conspiracy of NBA
executives going into a dusty, cigar smoke filled broom closet
somewhere in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue there right above the

(12:11):
NBA store in Midtown Manhattan, working out ways to artificially
enhance the low television ratings.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I know what we're gonna do. Why don't we just
have Luca relocate to the Lakers.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
And Kevin Durant will go back to the Bay Area
and abra cadabra, hocus pocus. Just like that, we have
some excitement in the air everywhere. As far as Durant,
he is a basketball home bow. He will always be
a basketball hole bow.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
He really has no home. He is a chameleon.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
He has shown the ability to adapt, sometimes better than
other times, to his surroundings to ensure his survival. Change
his teams every couple of years. Who would Golden State
trade in order to make this happen. To facilitate the trade,
the chatter is they're willing to unload and Drew Wiggins,

(13:07):
that Wiggins and some other spare parts would go to Miami,
Jimmy Buckets would go to the Valley of the Sun,
and Kevin Durant would end up in the Bay Area.
There's a lot of moving parts. For example, one of
the reasons we believe that Jimmy Butler wanted to go
to the Suns was because of Kevin Durant. So if

(13:31):
you trade Kevin Durant for Jimmy Butler, do you get
an unhappy Jimmy Buckets.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
And if you want to know what that's like, ask
pat Riley. He would say, no, bueno is what he
would say. Night final, fuck. Let's go to baseball.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Some last minute, last minute shopping before spring training. We
are hearing the Blue Jays have offers on the table,
not only to the Polar Bear Peedelanzi. I feel like
a guy named the Polar Bear should playing in Canada
three year offer to Peter Alonzo, but also cheating Astro

(14:09):
Alex Bregman, a six year offer to the cheating a hole.
So Toronto is in play to land whoever selects the
offer first between Bregman and the aforementioned Peter Alonzo. So
the Blue Jays have these standing offers to these guys,
Peede Alonzo and Alex Bregman.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
What happens next?

Speaker 1 (14:31):
So what happens next is military jargon, hurry up and wait,
hurry up and wait. Now, today is February fifth. You
know that pitchers and catchers for the Chicago Cubs will
report to spring training in four days. We are four
days away.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
From the Cubs of the first team to open up
spring training.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
And then over the next like two or three days,
pretty much every other team in baseball will arise in
Arizona and Florida. They'll start trickling in for spring training,
and then about a day after that they'll start having
Tommy John operations right and left. But it's getting laid
early around here, and based on what we're hearing, it

(15:17):
sounds now that Alonzo is torn. He's got almost identical offers,
one from Toronto.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
And one from the Mets.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
So if that's the case, you would think that the
polar Bear goes back with his tail between his legs
and hangs out with mister met and is the King
of Queens or maybe the Prince of Queens now because
of Juan Soto being a New York Met. As far
as the cheating Astro Alex Bregman is concerned, based on

(15:48):
my read of the room, Bregman goes to Canada, that's
the guy they're gonna get. The Astros general manager Dana
Brown or the cheating a holes. He said that Alex
Bregman will not be returning to the team. So now
these guys change their mind all the time, because the
Mets pretty much said that Alonso was not going to

(16:10):
go back to the Mets, and now it sounds like
he's leaning that direction. But the Astros GM said Bregman
will not return to the team. So Bregman's name is
dirt and he doesn't have a lot of options. He
doesn't Canada is a pretty good halfway house for Bregman.
They accept cheaters. In Toronto, they've had George Springer, that

(16:34):
dirty rotten dog. George Springer has been a Blue Jay
for several years. He was the MVP of a world
series where the team cheated. But because he plays in Toronto.
He's getting a free pass and all that. But those
of us that are real, the real fans, they know
what's going on. So we still have him with a
scarlet letter for the rest of his career. George Springer

(16:56):
and he can be joined by Alex Bregman and someday
Jose Alboo by Jose Albooby can join them.

Speaker 1 (24:51):
In fact, I'll give it to you right now. Our
friends over at DraftKings have all the numbers.

They have all the props for Super Bowl fifty nine.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
There was like page after page after page or prop.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Bets and all that.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
As far as the game itself cansa City and Philadelphia
and the points spread is one and a half. The
Chiefs are favored by one and a half points in
that game.

Speaker 9 (25:20):
I like that. I won't say something right now, man,
you know that twenty what was that toy twenty three?
He lost another game?

Speaker 7 (25:28):
Hurts.

Speaker 9 (25:28):
I wanted to win this game, man.

Speaker 8 (25:30):
I think it's time it Hurts does something to get
a big win, because you know he.

Speaker 9 (25:34):
Went to Obama and he got screwed over and he
went to Oklahoma did real well.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
And ever since he's been in that bel he hadn't
been too bad.

Speaker 8 (25:40):
I mean, I lock you.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
All right, he's gonna lose.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
And as far as the prop bets are concerned, the
one on DraftKings that boy you really like is Sekwan Barkley.
Anytime touchdown score Now it's minus one ninety five, so
it's not the line's not the greatest, but you gotta
think that he's gonna score at least one touchdown in
this game, right Sakwan Barkley. At some point here, he's

(26:05):
gonna get his hands on the ball and get in
the end zone.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
But you can check out all of those numbers.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Are you listening to Lorena over at DraftKings dot com?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
All the numbers right there.

Speaker 7 (26:22):
I'll be Big nine to Mark.

Speaker 9 (26:24):
And I'll say something right now.

Speaker 8 (26:25):
I just hope Herson does some good and I hope
we don't get up there and get.

Speaker 9 (26:28):
Scanned my fifteen to twenty points.

Speaker 8 (26:31):
But I'll pack a twenty seven to twenty four score.

Speaker 2 (26:34):
All right, well it'll be it'll be close. I Kansas
City will win, but it'll be it'll be a close game.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
And Donald Jersey, Donald Trump, do you see Trump's gonna
be the first sitting president to attend the super How
is that possible?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
That no president is attended the Super Bowl? Is nuts?

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Like, don't you think somewhere along the way, like when
a Reagan or somebody or Clinton would have shown up
to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
That's wild?

Speaker 8 (26:57):

Easy enough. The hollereing James won this game fast asleep
in one year. Okay, here we go, let's do it

Yeah, they blow.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
That was their nineteenth twenty point loss of the season.

Oh yes, give me all the love questions from our

Speaker 1 (35:33):
All right, you think love? You think the overnight listener
fact Mike writes in he says, with only Papa Smurf,
how did they get all those other smurfs from?

Speaker 2 (35:47):
From Mike good Smurf's question.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
To beginning, Well, if you think about it, the only
Smurfet was created by Gargamel. So the smurfs probably reproduce
without needing the other thing, just like some fly their
plants to And they're really tiny, like little bugs.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
So I think they don't even have like junk.

Speaker 6 (36:05):
Yeah, I don't think they even have reproductive system at all.
I don't even think they think about that.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Probably not because they're smurfs. Yeah, worried about worried about
enjoying life and avoiding.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
Or maybe that's why they're blue, because.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
King Roy says they got not blue balls, they got
blue skin.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
So if we can't find a babysitter, should my wife
and I include our children, whether Valentine's Day dinner or
just cancel it?

Speaker 6 (36:35):
No, just leave the kids at home, put on a
baby monitor and tell them not to hurt each other.
Go into your spouse or lock them out of the bedroom.
Like they don't need to be involved. They're involved in
everyday life.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
Wow, get the kids out of there. No kids, No kids,
they need a babysitter. So that means they're probably what
you think, like maybe under the age of one, under.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
The age of nine or ten or something.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Yeah, yeah, even tens pushing at these When.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Did you start using baby when you were a kid?
Your parents? Did they use babysitters up until what age?

Speaker 9 (37:05):
Well?

Speaker 5 (37:05):
I had older brothers, so I never really you never.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Needed a babysit. Yeah. I am the middle child.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
I have an older brother and a younger brother, and
my parents went out to a nice dinner and they
allowed me and my older brother to watch my younger brother.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
When they got home, they had to take my younger
brother to the emergency room.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
Because we were doing professional wrestling moves and he broke
his arm jumping off the sofa.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
He was but he really looked good when he did it.

Speaker 5 (37:29):
But I bet your parents had a great time while
they were out.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
They did. They were slightly upset when they got home
that they had to go to the emergency room, but
you know that happens.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Ferd Dog says a friend of mine doesn't have a
car and just ubers everywhere.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
How big of a turnoff is that the women?

Speaker 5 (37:44):
Oh, I don't know if i'd call it a turnoff.

Speaker 6 (37:48):
If you're willing to pay for my Uber, that'd be great,
But I usually drive everywhere anyways.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Well, it's tough loerin in LA.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
But if you're like in New York or somewhere where
there's transit where you can get around.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
In the city, way better.

Speaker 5 (38:00):
Uber is way better. Why would you want a car
payment and insurance?

Speaker 9 (38:03):
Like?

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Yeah, I would think also for Dog, if you don't
have a car, you should sell yourself as some kind
of like hippie tree hugging environmentalists. Great idea and that
you're giving back. And then women, some women love that.
They get all turned on by that, like you're you're
saving the world. You know.

Speaker 5 (38:18):
See, man, you are good at relationships.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Not really. JT the Wingman Rights and says, are you
in support.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Of old school chivalry or more of a feminist that
can open the door yourself?

Speaker 5 (38:30):
Lorena, I love chivalry.

Speaker 6 (38:33):
I hate when I have to ask for it, so
I will never ask for it. But I think it's
always appreciated, and I it's not just me. I think
it's multiple women.

Speaker 9 (38:41):
It's very normal.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
I'm annoyed now. That's in general. Women do not they
want things but don't ask for them, which is quite annoying.
It's annoying. Lo right, you know what I'm saying. It's
annoy Yeah, I'm sorry, but you just say what you want.
I think most guys will.

Speaker 6 (38:56):
No, I need everyone to read my mind twenty four
to seven and if I even get a face, you
have to be able to decode said face.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Tell you about men? Men are pretty simple, black and white? Right,
yes or no?

Speaker 5 (39:08):
It's not you know, need the You know it's funny
because we overthink it too. We were like, oh, no,
there has to be more to this story.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
No, no, not really. Art Puffin says, is color coordinating
your wardrobe with your significant other too much or not enough.
I think we've been asked this before. Too much or
not enough? Same outfit you gonna go out, You're wearing
the same.

Speaker 4 (39:28):
I like it.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
Let's Disney bound like that. Yeah, we dress up the same.

Speaker 6 (39:33):
We'd be so cute, especially when it happens unintentionally.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
