Speaker 1 (01:15):
Now we'll get to Mike Malone. Mike Malone coming up
in a minute. But I know you're showing me the
Thank you, coach, Malone social media post by the Nuggets.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Today, Hey we fired him. I want to say thanks.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
So, you know, the last few days, the last couple
of days, this dire wolf thing has become a really
big deal. Right. We bought back a species that last
existed on the earth like ten thousand years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:39):
The dire wolf is back.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
You see Rodyinson reemas the two dire wolves are going
really cute and hey, we're now bringing back, you know,
extinct animals.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's so gold Bloom's just time to shine minute. So
you're not just the wizard.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So I wake up today and I get a bunch
of text from my friends and I realized, you know,
the boy my friends maybe a little bit more uh
sophisticated than I am, who said to me, hey, dude,
I just read it. I just read your tweet in
Men's Journal. And I'm like, what, Men's Journal, what are
you talking about? And and and they go, yeah, they
just put your tweet in on the article on the
dire wolf and Men's Journal and I'm like what And

(02:17):
they send me the link and I look and they
did an article on the dire wolf and it was hey, people,
now you know, want new things now that we've brought
back the dire wolf, and I put my tweet of hey,
now that we've brought the dire wolf back, the three
animals we need to bring back in order are one
the Dodo bird, two the wooly mammoth, three the saber

(02:37):
tooth tiger. And then I wrote, wait now I'm just
doing ice age and you're either building ice age out
or where's the fleas?

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Here's the baby. But I feel like we need.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Because honestly, like you have to bring the dodo bird
back first, because it's the one, it's the only animal,
the first animal we all learned about as kids. The
dodo bird's been extinct for a long time.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Yeah, they defeated the dodo bird.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, something like the Dodo bird was fun to say.
They've been waiting for a long time. It's like in
Beetlejuice when you're waiting at the end to talk about
getting back to that life, like the Dodo bird has
been waiting a long time to come back.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
No, it is.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
You kind of have to bring the Dodo bird back first.
I'd love to see the wooly mammoth, but boy, the
wooly mammoth is big and the sabertooth tiger. Ooh, sabertooth
in the wild may get a little too Jurassic parkish,
but uh, I mean wooly mammoth, sabertooth tiger. I mean,
I'd love to see some of these, you know, animals
that were extinct, if I can see him in a
zoo or someplace where it's.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Safe, where I don't worry about it. I'd love to
see a wooly mammoth.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Oh my goodness, man, because when I picture wooly mammoth,
I picture the creatures.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
That they ride in Star Wars on tattooine. Oh nice. Yeah,
picture wooly mammoth walking with the big tusks. And there
that's what I think. That's what I think about. That's
pretty good. Yeah. Now we're recreating all the films that
we love so much.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yes, and then we've got the blueprint of how to
contain all these animals, yeah, one of all the Jurassic
Park movies. And that's the thing is I know that
that there's a big push out there. Didn't we learn
from Jurassic Park. This is a bad idea. Okay, stop
for one second. They brought back a couple of wolves Okay,
it's not an island that we're bringing back the most
dangerous animals that ever walked the earth. Okay, number one,

(04:15):
we're not doing it. B We're not gonna do something
stupid because it was kind of lazy to go, Uh,
did you use frog DNA? Yeah, just frog da Oh,
well that's why they're multiplying, So not only just using
frog DNA. Oh we should have known that. You would
think the biggest scientists in the world who bring dinosaurs
back from extinction would know, Oh, if we use frog DNA,
they're gonna be able to reproduce. Not only that, but

(04:38):
somehow you just put the frog DNA in and it
works for all of them right away. It's like viagra
for dinosaurs. Hey, we're all back down. He use a
frog DNA. We had to get from here to here
and keep it at a two hour running link.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
You shut up.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
We're all about not gonna happen. Not gonna happen is
some because I looked. The thing is, I looked at
the list of animals, and I gotta say, there's not
a lot that I'm trying out to see back outside
of those three. I'm like, oh, because all these other
breeds of animals are like, I never heard of that.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Okay, there's another there's another butterfly.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
Saber tooth ti. Yeah, it's bringing the saber tooth. Yeah,
see the big teeth coming down the side. Yeah, let
me see that.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I do like that.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Your tweet got it got in there, not because of
anything you were doing, you know physically. Yeah, Hey, I'm
walking off I mean my pH D weight lot na not. Hey,
he's getting himself in shape and lean and mean and
he's getting ready to run a run a marathon. Now
I had these three that I liked. Now my favorite
list of isles and g n C and whole foods.

(05:39):
Now here's what I like to buy. What else we got?
You've never been to a g n C. I've driven
by even spelled. And what's the next one? How about
a sea cow? It's got guns and guns and coses
gn C. That's about the Golden toad. Well last scene

(06:01):
in nineteen eighty nine. Oh so it's not that far
then there's no But that means you and I have
been alive in the time that they killed off the
Golden There's other animals that should be on the list
to come back before the Golden I mean, I'm saying,
don't bring the Golden toad back. But there's there's a
Dodo bird's been waiting for millions of years. I think
the comelitless birds no, useless, right, how about the Atlas Bear.

(06:25):
Oh no, that that sounds like that sounds like someone
from the WWE Atlas Bear going in against John Cena
from the Mountains of Morocco. That was the last one
that was doing DoD Morocco. What did you say, the
Magnificent they dot Yeah, I know, yeah, not anymore though, No, no, no, no,
there's one rock now, the Rock Don Morocco. Okay, Yeah,

(06:45):
I've been going back and watching all the old WrestleManias
in anticipation of my trip to Vegas for next week. Boy,
I'm jacked up and my brothers will likely bludget me
as they did when we were in Dallas years ago.
So already trying to toughen myself up for that rock
exit out about a Fresca exit swollen Dome Jason Smith
Mike Harbon live from the tirech dot Com Studios Men's Journal. Yeah, yeah,

(07:09):
some of them on the Picture of health. I'm like, yeah,
that's me, right, here. Here's what I like to eat
every single day.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I like to just eat stuff that's healthy, all empty calories.
I like to have cabbage and lettuce and ice cubes.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
And when I'm feeling really randy on a Friday night,
I love a cucumber. And if you bring back this
particular animal, I'll re extinct his.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Ass now speaking out now, maybe.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
TJ, maybe not extinct, but clearly the Nuggets are in
their post Malone arrow after firing their.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
Head coach today.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
He's a big Pokemon collector, Oh post Malone or Mike
Malons Malone, Oh Post, I don't know, I know Mike,
Mike Michael Michael Michael Malone collects unemployment slips. So wow,
is gonna hate you too. It's it's a bit of
a it's a bit of a weird story. I admit

(08:05):
that you wake up today and see whoa wait, wait
a minute, wait, Michael Malone's been fired his head coach.
He's fired.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
The Nuggets are not bad?

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Wait wait, always fired? Yeah, the Nuggets have lost four
in a row. Okay, they've not been great since the
trade deadline, and the Nuggets needed to move in another direction.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Right.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
You also find out the GM is not coming back
as well, So it's a big organizational reset. And you've
seen so many comments about this story to the ilk
of what.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
Are they doing?

Speaker 1 (08:34):
How do you fire coach this close to the end
of the regular season. It's stupid, It doesn't make sense.
Hang on for a second. Just like the Mavericks didn't
wake up one day and decide we're going to trade
Luka Doncic, the Nuggets didn't just wake up today and
say we're getting rid of Michael Malone, the only guy
to win a championship for us. It was just a
couple of years ago. We've heard reports that maybe he

(08:57):
lost the locker room. This is when you get rid
of a coach, right, no matter what top part of
the year it's at. This is when you make a move.
If a coach is not getting the players to buy
in anymore, it doesn't matter who comes in, you're gonna
be better off. And if he had to go, he
had to go. And judging by the fact that this
was the narrative that was put out there today and

(09:19):
we've seen we've played for you tonight, Michael Malone ripping
his team as recently as a couple of weeks ago
not happy with his guys. Yeah, you can see where
maybe we're chafing and this relationship doesn't work anymore. Oh,
you can't do it this close to the playoffs. Hang on,
you can absolutely do it. And if he had to go,
am I am fine with this move because sometimes just

(09:39):
changing the leadership puts a team in a different in
a different stratosphere and gets the more mentally prepared for
what is ahead. Regular season of Major League baseball. Managers
don't get fired because they're terrible. They get fired because, well,
the team is underperforming. This will get their attention. That's
what happens. Oh, but you're fired right before the playoffs.
If it's not gonna work, things are bad. You don't

(10:01):
want a first round flame out because you're wasting a
postseason of Nikola Jokic while he's still the most talented
player in the NBA.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
So there's not.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Gonna be a big organizational reset, right. You have David
Adelman coming in to take over, and I'm young enough
to remember when his dad was a really good coach.

Speaker 3 (10:18):
So he's coming in. There's not gonna be a big change.
Not suddenly gonna say, hey, you know, Nicole, you're gonna
bring the ball up more so they're gonna.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Play their same style. But just being free from whatever
tension was going on. If it was a fact that
the locker room was lost, just the fact that energy
is different puts the Nuggets on a better level of
being able to compete in the playoffs. I you give
a better chance getting out of the first round, second round,
and on than I did before, because if this was

(10:46):
so bad, they weren't playing well, they weren't responding. You
don't just suddenly pick it up in the first round
of the playoffs, especially when the Western Conference is so
deep and your first round ain't gonna be an easy round, right,
and then you're talking about the second round being the thunder.
So you need something. And it's it's not that David
Adaman's gonna come in and suddenly say, hey, look, I'm
Eric Spolstra, or I'm gonna come in I'm Danny Hurley.

(11:07):
But I'm gonna come in and it's just gonna be different,
and I'll let the guys play and you're gonna see
a more freeing attitude, more freewheeling, less playing through the mud, whatever, whatever, cashit,
whatever a phrase you want to throw out there, you
will see a different Nuggets team and mentally not having

(11:28):
the situation of the coaching of the coaching shadow hanging
over them. They're going to play better and they're gonna
give a better chance of winning in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
I saw a little clip coming out from you know,
ownership and talking about where the disconnect was, and clearly
malone in the messaging of hey, here's how we can
get better.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Let's do film review, let's do this.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Commitment on defense, commitment to listening to instruction was clearly
not there. So uh, time for a change in voice.
And then there was a lot of questioning about Calvin
Booth and what he did in terms of surrounding Nicoley
Jokic with more talent. Right, you had a good core,
but it was one of the things we talked about

(12:11):
going back to the trade deadline of all right, didn't
do anything.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
Is that good or is that bad?

Speaker 1 (12:16):
And we've watched defensively, there's no commitment to playing consistent defense.
Help defense Yokic youa times seems absolutely lost out there,
and you've seen them drift down to where now they're
in a three way.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Tie for fifth place or for fourth place.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's the Clippers, the Nuggets, and the Warriors and their
percentage points ahead of the Grizzlies sitting there when you
get to tie breakers and all of that fun stuff.
So all of that to say, yeah, you need a
new voice. Whether Adaman's able to get through them. Part
of it's also do you get Murray back and healthy.
They're three and seven in their last ten, So yeah,
shuffle up and deal. Thought it would be to the

(12:54):
off season, but why wait, because maybe you can catch
lightning in the bottle right matchups, right cohesion, and maybe
more offense running.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
That isn't all.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Nikoley Jokich is a one man gang. See one man
Oh nice, and then he became a keem and it
really got weird. Yeah, a little bit little bit. Yeah, yeah,
the one man gang that was when that was the
very first Survivor series.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
Yeah, he was there.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
He was also in World Class Championship Wrestling with the
Von Erics back to Dallas before that.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Wow, very nice.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:28):

whole thing. I'm working in nineteen eighty seven. This is

that happened back then. I want to tell you back
and you see.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
All the whole We're going to get some videos in
at WrestleMania and see if we can't build baby build
exit out by the Fresco Exit, twell and' dome. If
he had to go, he had to go. The timing
is irrelevant, and trust me, the Nuggets will play better
and freer. It will be a different team. Coming up next,
we got more from the biggest story in the NBA tonight.

(14:05):
Luca gets tossed. Should he have gotten tossed? Was it personal?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Now for the next few nights it works, Just chicken jockey.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
I'm supposed to respond like the people in the theater, right,

cowbell and still in the Hobo drop. You know, we

(15:58):
we talked about you being on the I Wait to
see you in the History Channel interview on you know,
here's the WWE at fifty or whatever. Yeah, because you're
kind of a WW story. I'm a kind of a nerd. Yeah,
I'd want to be in one of those pop culture
anthology shows about stuff because I'm telling you, telling you,
fella some more cowball as I'm telling you the Minecraft.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Movie is really bad.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
But seeing how it's been accepted, right, one hundred and
fifty five million dollars in the first week, and it's
a weird movie. You know how weird it is the
first two minutes in during Jack Black's voiceover, and you know,
obviously if you've played Minecraft, which you know, my my
family we've played Minecraft now for going on ten years,

(16:45):
it's just so much fun. So we of course we're
going to see the movie. It's so bad, but the acting,
everybody tries to sell it. Jack Black tries to sell it,
Jason Momoa tries to sell it. Jack Black gets to
sing three times in the movie. Right, it's so bad,
but it's gonna be legendary bad because, and I'm telling

(17:06):
you this, I'd go on one of these shows in
a few years from now, and I would say I
knew when the movie came out and Minecraft the movie
was gonna be Generation z's rocky horror picture show.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Right.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Two things for this number one, we should just produce
that show ourselves, okay, because we're just encyclopedias of nonsense
related to pop culture in all forms. Is number two
Chicken Jockey? I demanded that is it? Clinton Steel? No, No,
that's number three. The second thing, guess how much it's

(17:38):
made globally to this point.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh, it's a one hundred and fifty five million domestically,
two eighty three.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Twenty three. My goodness, after the first week. You know,
you just see the way I see the way my
daughter's generation is responding the people that are getting kicked
out of theaters after the Chicken Jockey moment, which is
did did not despoil? But it's a moment where a
zombie jumps on top of a chicken in the octagon

(18:05):
and Jack Black just says, chicken jockey, And there's been
enough enough screen grabs and recordings of that. Any social
media site you're on, you've.

Speaker 3 (18:14):
Run into it.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, there's there's no reason for it. It's not like
it's a big thing. It's just him saying, chicken jockey
with the movie and jack.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
The best jokes. It's a terrible movie. What does it matter?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
I know, but I'm telling you it's gonna be the
Rocky Horror Picture Show where for this generation where they're
going to continue to do things during them, hopefully not
stuff to get thrown out of movies.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Don't do that, but where Rocky Horror.

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Became the movie of a generation of going to the
midnight show and yelling stuff out and having the interactive experience.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
It still goes down the street from my house. Yeah,
it's all the time.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, the same night showing right there. You've gone to
see that in the We've gone to see that in
the theater. It's it's really fun. And I will throw
a toilet paper at you. Sure, yeah, riff, how do
you okay?

Speaker 3 (19:01):
So so can we we can go and lipstick of the.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
This is what the impact and this is how this
generation is gonna come to mindcraft. They're gonna go to
midnight uh, screenings of Minecraft the movie. They're gonna find
a way to participate in the movie while it's going on.
I mean it's going to be that kind of that
kind of movie where you know, Rocky, You're a picture
now is fifty years old, and it was a movie

(19:26):
that when it came out didn't really make sense. It
was crazy stuff stuff happening where you're.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Like, how big is how big is this steiry? That
meat Loaf is still riding a motorcycle? Yeah, how big
is that Stairwell, you had to be at meat Loaf.
I gotta have it. I mean, well he was Eddie.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I mean, of course, let's do the time. So, but
that's gonna be this, it's gonna be different. It's not
just gonna be we're gonna go to movies and shout
stuff at the screen. But you're already seeing TikTok trends
with with with with these kids and they're all in
on it. And Zoe tells you that's all they're talking
about is the Minecraft. That's all they're talking about.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
She've seen it twice, she wants to see it again
this weekend. She saw it with us and then went
the next day with two of her best friends to
go say they couldn't wait to see it.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
They showed up at the theater. One of one of
her best friends showed up dressed up like Minecraft Steve
with a diamond sword.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
There you go. That was the best.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
And here I am trying to shop for a glittery
coat for WrestleMania.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
So I mean it all plays together.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
But all of that to say, you know, the main
point in all of this is find the good man. Like,
if that's what you embrace, go have fun with it.
Mamo and Black certainly did they get paid well, so
I'm gonna get paid well for a sequel. Yeah, well
you have the thing like it gonna be one of
those where well we can't touch this again.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
No, they're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
It's hard to touch it now they they did. Yeah,
there is but boy Jack watching. There's too much money
to leave it on the table.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
I think for the two of them, the hey, let's see,
let's see how the dust settles for as forward commit to.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
Came back to Aquaman too, unless maybe that well that
is true and the other Justice League. Yeah, and he
was ready. He signed on for more. If they would
have kept doing them the.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Tone of the movie is so weird, and it takes
about twenty minutes of the movie to just realize, Okay,
this is just how it is. There's no change because
it kind of seems like it's Jumanji, where oh, here's
four friends. They get sucked into Minecraft, which is a
video game, which is just like Jumanji, and it kind
of is a little bit. But the tone is so weird.
I know he was in a different movie.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
I think he did a little bit like looking around
for Kevin Hart.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Oh my, I am Bethany and I am but but
the tone is just so weird, and I'm like, this
is so and then I'm like, okay, about twy, I'm like, Okay,
this is just how it's gonna be.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Wait, who's the Karen Gillan in this one? Just how
it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Uh, the Karen Gillen is.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
The main cast.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
We all celebrate Karen get yeah, one of the main
character sisters. I've never seen her in anything before, so
I don't know who it is interesting, but it's that.
But it's gonna have that kind of impact on this generation.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
In the way.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
We really should produce that show. Not to get too

Speaker 5 (26:35):
Actually, it's probably eleven injured pitchers, no kidding. They've lost

Phoenix one thirty three.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Ninety five. Sons have lost seven in a row. Back
to you, Chicken Jockey, Thank you Steve.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Though.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Now we talked about Luca getting tossed from the game
tonight one point game in the fourth quarter and it
turns into a burial.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
After Luca gets tossed yelling at a fan, the official
thought that he was yelling at him. Yeah, so he
throws him out of the game. Luke jock in personally,
Luki Yell's right away, I was yelling at the fan.
The official said, no, no, no, you throw me out
of the game. Look, it's It's hard because you want
the officials to not take crap from the players. You

(28:59):
want this to happen, and it's their only way of
really keeping a lid on the game, and you don't
want to impugne their power because once you begin to
chip away at it, the power of the referee goes away,
and then then you open up a can of worms
to stuff where it's are we gonna even listen to
calls that happened? Are we gonna listen when when someone
gets thrown out of a game, or we gonna listen?

(29:19):
We always gonna get pushback when we call a foul.
So I get that part of it, But I mean,
I maintain this all night if you aren't gonna go
crazy for players sitting out back to back games, sitting
out nationally televised games. And the Lakers tonight decided we're
gonna have all our stars play.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
They have a.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Huge emotional game tomorrow night with Luca's return to the
Maverick to to Dallas to play the Mavericks. So they
got to turn the page on this one pretty fast.
And they're still trying to finish third in the Western Conference.
You had everybody play. They put everybody out there that
Peluca out there, Lebron is there not. This doesn't mean
you let them go and you let them say. Hey,
whatever happens happens. But if you're gonna throw Luka Doncic

(29:58):
out of the game, you gotta make damn sure you're
throwing him out for a good reason, not because I
thought he yelled something at me, which clearly he didn't.
You saw his reaction, you saw the Lakers reaction. He
didn't yell at the official.

Speaker 3 (30:10):
And this is.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Something that needs to be looked at better than just
a knee jerk reaction from an official who says, oh, hey,
people want to see me blow the whistle and throw
Luca out of the game. Because there's too much at stake.
And when you're throwing a star out, I'm not saying
you can't do it, but wow, you gotta be really careful.
Most of the time, it's obvious, right if someone yells

(30:31):
something Draymond Green gets in your face, you throw him out.
He stays in your face. I get it from most players,
but this is a situation where come on, man, the
guy saying something, he's going back down the court. He's
not embarrassing even if he's yelling at you, he's not
embarrassing you. He's doing it with his head turn, which
is how you do it, which is how players at
baton Major League Baseball. Disagree with it with the umpires,
they kind of talk when they're not looking at They

(30:52):
don't want to show him up. But in the end,
he wasn't even talking to the official. But you gotta
makedamn sure that if we're throwing a guy out, can
we look at this and say, let's look at all
the evidence we can to make sure we're making the
right call. This is just as big a call of hey,
who's this ball out of bounds? Off of in a
one point game with five seconds left to go? It's
a big deal. Is the final two minute review and

(31:13):
you can go back and look at things. Was this
a three pointer? Was his foot on the line? I'm okay.
Was taken five minutes saying are we throwing Luca Dancich
out of this game? Do we have the reason to?
And that whatever you come to after there, okay, agree
or disagree, But at least we went to the wall.
We went as far as we could to figure this out.
This was you're out of the game. And I'm sorry,
we can't fit. No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
That needs to be figured out because if you're saying, hey,
it's important that you guys play, it's important that the
officials know when they make big decisions like this that
it's the best decision they can make and not something
knee jerk like that.

Speaker 4 (31:42):
No.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
I really hope for there are saying tomorrow with this
big game against Dallas, that you get a special guest
referee like it is a WWE event, or suddenly walks
Danny Davis is gonna come into referee dangerous Danny Davis.
Nicely done. But no, that or is part of the mix.
But in all seriousness, it comes back to the old
mantra of the show.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
One of the many is this is a.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
TV show, right, I e. Why you want your stars
out there and why you're upset about load management and
missing those windows. Remember that big issue that came to
a head. What was it four or five years ago
when you had a month of ABC Saturday games where
one after another the team's were like, yeah, the hell
with it, our stars aren't playing, and then the Warriors

(32:28):
sat down everybody and that was it. That was the
typic On was like we're done. Same thing here with
the officials, is it's a TV show. Calm the hell down,
make sure you get the call right, Calm and convening,
Convene the officiating crew and figured out. But until those
rules are in place, he thought he called them a
dirty name, so he ran him. Got tired of Luca

(32:50):
trying to wear him out for forty minutes at a time.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
And I mean, is there history of beef man? Lucas
says he don't want to beef but maybe maybe he's
not charred vernible to the game. Say that.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
After the first technical, the official said, I'll talk to
anybody but Lucas, so you know it's personal.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Yeah, I can't officiate. Kennedy went after his family. I
get it. Well, you say one thing and you get
a technical. Okay, I got it. Back up.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
Do you really think Luca after getting that first technical,
just with that without seeing any evidence, do you really
think Luca after getting that first technical with a one
point game in a big game where all the Lakers day,
we're all we're all gonna play tonight, we got a
big game tomorrow, we're all gonna play. And do you
really think he's gonna lose his mind and say something
to the referee to get thrown out.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Sometimes the emotions get to you. He's been he's been around.
He's been around a little bit. He's been around a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
I think, and you also think that you can probably
push the official where he's not gonna throw you out
because you're Luca Dutch. If this is an early February
game where you're playing at Detroit and it's a ten
point deficit in the fourth quarter, I get blowing your top.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
It's a one point game where you have no idea
what or went through to really try.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Let's be sive. I can't even say that with this,
I don't think lucas doing I don't think Luca's doing it.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
I really.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
I mean it's a it's an awful decision by the
official to do this, and hopefully the NBA figures out Okay,
we can't.

Speaker 3 (34:08):
It was a game.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Changer, firmly establishing Rockets as your number two seed on
the Western.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
Conflop one they lost by fifteen. There you go, that's
family unraveled.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
This is like the Barman play for suddenly your short
stuff can't field, your left fielder is jumping up and
down like a three year old who was told he
can't go to a birthday party because he can clean
his room, and then your pitcher melts down on the mound. Dude,
forget about SGA. This fan should be the NBA MVP
this year. Hey, I got Luca thrown though, right because

(34:40):
he said he'd had beef with them before he did
it when he was in Dallas.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Speaking of beef, do we have it beef coming up next?

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Do we have a story not involving beef as much
as it involves chicken? Chicken wings, chicken jockey that's next,
Chasing the Bike? Fox Sports Radio. It really does involve
chicken wings? Really doesn't?

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Oh? Okay?

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Really? Which will give me the chance to say chicken jockey.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
And I used to have Wednesdays and thursdays off when
I was first starting in sports, right, But.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
The actual Friday is three days away, so even no,
But I used to work Friday through through Tuesday. Yeah,
but the day is still Friday. How do you know?
Because I know you don't. I look at a calendar.
It's five pm somewhere. I look at a calendar. I
look at a calendar. Calendar says time for big mac.
That's time for a big mac.

Speaker 1 (35:51):
So file this under the category of bizarre sports injuries
for twenty five. Okay, Cody Bell, you missed the Yankee
game earlier because of a case of food poisoning, which
has been attributed to a bad order of chicken wings.
Chicken jockey a bad order of chicken wings that he

(36:12):
had the night before. Well, now here's the thing I
want to do. I want to I want exam because
we put this on. We had this injury, and you
got Freddy Freeman slipping in the shower and being hurt.

Speaker 4 (36:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Remember back in the day, you had Clinton Barmeus of
the Rockies carrying Jimmy Eat up a flight of stairs
after hunting.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
If you have.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
Bad wings, I gotta think that I'm thinking about the
wings being undercooked, right, Like that's something you'd be able
to tell pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Right, I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
There's enough sauce, but you're biting, you're seeing it, You're
looking at going, oh, this looks like this is not done.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
I mean, I can't believe you're a liar.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
No, no, know.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
What I'm saying is like.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
Could it have been like the dry rub or could
it have been the sauce like I mean, if it's
like could have been bad? Because I gotta think that
if it was the chicken, it's a chicken jockey, if
it was the chicken itself, that you'd be able to know,
like I think I would like to know. I'd be
able to Okay, this is no, this chicken is not done.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Can't have it.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
Maybe you were just hungry. Maybe it was late, you
weren't paying attention, you just started eating chicken. I think again, texture,
texture was enough, and it was covered with sauces and whatever.
You bite into bad chicken, you know, like you know
this is oh this is cold.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Bad chicken mess. You up, chicken jockey.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Uh, I got it would taste different enough to know
I got it.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
I don't know. Maybe maybe Tody Bellinger doesn't have a
sensitive palate. It's a weird thing.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
I again, maybe it's a bad Maybe it's a cover up,
something else.

Speaker 3 (37:47):
To cover up. Blame it on the chicken. I love
the chicken, Jerry, I love it. Blaming the chicken, and
there's something else going on. I love the chicken. Jack.
Maybe you just need it a day off and they
found that excuse for it.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
That weird if you're saying that this doesn't, if this doesn't,
you know, pass the smell test, no pun intended weirder injury. Yeah,
Cody Bellinger or Freddie Freeman, Oh this this oh yeah, yeah,
you know everybody's i mean slipped in a shower, yeah,
you know. And then you can have a lot of
guesses as to how that comes into play. Whether you're

(38:19):
repairing something and maybe you slips as you're working on it,
or I don't know, bad footing. I'm with you, badfooting,
mess you up, I'm with you. You don't have one
of those mats down for grip.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Okay, well you're not. Okay, you know, you know stepping
on this, Uh you might. Uh.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
The thing is is that, like I have this not
a fear of it, but I think like you know
every sy like when you turn forty, what do you
do when you turn Someone.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Asked me once, Hey, what do you do differently? What's
the biggest thing from turning fifty?

Speaker 1 (38:49):
And I said, I make sure I wash one foot
of the time in the shower, like I make sure
like before, I just i'd washed both feet yet done down,
finished up. I'm like, no, no, no, I'm not gonna
s so I watched wash and washing up anyway.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (39:02):
I watched foot, put it down, get, you know, stand up,
wash the other foot.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
I'm just making sure that. Okay, I am going to
make sure I wash one foot nice, stand up, make
sure it's all good. Then I'll watch the.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Other foot slipping in the showers. One of those terrifying
kind of things. Been plenty of folks met their bitter
end in horror films through the years. Downstairs, Yeah, I
mean it can happen that way, Joe. Now to finish
up here, Frostburg, you have something that we need to
hear from Kevin Harlan. Yes, this is what happens when

(39:37):
an announcer reinvents an entire company's business model.
