Chapter 1: What humorous references do the hosts make in the beginning?
It was, you know, like a snowball at a bar mitzvah, but when they say snowball, you're not going to any other partners. You're just staying there with your one boo thing. Like, yeah, they were absolutely, that's a Jewish reference there that maybe flew right over everyone. It's okay. I appreciate the explanation. I've never heard the I pronounced in Boothang.
I can't say that I've ever said Boothang. He said Boothang. Like this thing. Don't you know this song that everybody plays on TikTok? They say you're my little Boothang. Don't they? In that song? Maybe it's Two Americas? I don't know. The song that took over Instagram for a billion years? Yeah, but usually it's like Boothang. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
But some of us sound silly saying it that way. It's got like an accent mark on it or something. I don't know. You just didn't say us. I know you of all people, Mike Jones. I know you was now you're talking about us. But I'm still quoting Mike Jones. Back then they didn't want me. Now I'm hot. Yeah, but when we hang it out. Gardner Johnson's career with the Bears.
When we be hanging out, you say Mike Jones. Oh, but I don't know that. Maybe it's because to harken back to last transition from yesterday, one has to have a boo thing to say the phrase. This is true. I know one of us has a boo thing because he was like, can y'all get some more boo things? And then we had to explain that that supply was not as plentiful.
I would also just like to let you guys see. Curtain Jerker game going on right now. No DePaul. That's not the Curtain Jerker. That was one earlier. It was Arizona State, Iowa State. Iowa State shouldn't be a Curtain Jerker. That's why it was the Curtain Jerkers. They were up by like 45 points early in the second. You see the number one pick in the draft last night? C.A.J. DeBonsa of BYU?
You think he's the number one pick? Absolutely. I was watching the Italy World Baseball Classic game that nobody thought counted. I understood. I wasn't watching A.J. DeBonson live. I'm still the Darren Peterson guy. I know. I'm telling you it's A.J. DeBonson. DeBonson's great, though. Matt. It's A.J.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the term 'boo thing' in the conversation?
DeBonson. That dude is long and fluid. He can shoot and he can finish. And he put up 40 in the Big 12 Open. He's way too smooth to fall to where the Bulls will be falling. No, the Bulls have no chance. No, but I actually think the Bulls are going to be all right. I think this is a draft that is deep enough that they can find a difference-making player. More importantly, it might be deep enough.
It might be just deep enough that they don't have to worry about picking the guy because the guy falls to them much like Modest Blue Zealous because if they pick too high, they might pick the wrong guy. But now it might be you're on the cusp of the last really, really good guy.
I told you, I like Braden Burries, and I've seen a bunch of mocks that have him go into the Bulls at like 8 or 9, something like that. They can't go 8, though, right? This is what Marshall... Well, they physically... We were being a little bit dramatic. Mathematically, it doesn't seem like they can be... They can't fall any farther up.
You're either in the top 4 or you fall down from where you are, and they're not getting up to 7 or 8 at this rate. They're just not. They've won 3 of 5... I mean, I got a long day ahead of me. When in doubt, Warriors. When in doubt, Bulls pick seven. That's what I always joke. But Marshall, Modest had some moments last night. I'm good with Modest. I'm good with it. 41 of them.
The question we had in five on it is, are you okay with the win considering Modest is taking... Steps. No. Number three. That should be no. No, the answer is yes, because he's got either develop or not. And you have to turn him loose. No, that is a tank loss. That is a fail last night. But that's not on modest. No, but you're not okay with the win. The answer is no. I'm not okay.
Let me help you with your answer.

Chapter 3: How do the hosts analyze the Chicago Bulls' draft prospects?
No, I'm just kidding. Number two. I want to get back to number three before we get to number two. The options were either modest develops or the Bulls, they lose. I said modest develops. Oh, I see. Those were my given options. And listen, if they want to tank, they can tank. I don't know. Jalen Smith, who's missed some time with a calf injury, maybe he should be on a minutes restriction.
Just kidding. He played 34 last night. We were talking about Giddy being out for the rest of the year, and then he came back like two days later. That's a way that the front office can assure. that you do lose games. Like, oh, Josh, I'm so sorry about your back. What do you mean? There's nothing wrong with my back. Oh, there is something wrong with it. I don't think it has to be that serious.
Just minutes restrictions on everybody. Just minutes restrictions. Like Jalen Smith. That would require telling Billy what to do, and they don't have the balls to do that. They don't. You don't have to tell Billy what to do. You tell medical what to tell Billy. Well, they don't have the balls to tell him the full thing. Isn't there some money ball procedure that can be done here?
First base is incredibly hard. You keep taking the players away. Yeah. You keep taking them away. They took Jaden Ivey away. Jaden Ivey might have taken himself away. That was somber. Rob Dillingham's got assist on his shooting. There are avenues, man. I don't think Rob Dillingham exists. Yeah, they could lose better.
Chapter 4: What insights do the hosts share about the Bulls' current season performance?
Oh, he did. He tried that steal and then the dunk and it didn't go dunk. If he plays, they could lose better. He would help them lose by playing. That is really how you're supposed to do it. Your front office is supposed to make the job obvious for you. You're not supposed to get players that are decent enough to be a problem as you try to lose. Why don't you just make them unavailable?
I mean, we got Todd in Philly. You know how to do it. I got a master class in that. But what I'm saying is I thought that was the case with Patrick Williams. He's out here playing and they're out here winning three or five games. That's my point. I would like to thank our guests because we had an array of guests. Mike Florio, Danny Parkins, and Roberto Garza. Roberto Garza.
I did not think that that was going to happen today. That was an amazing day. An amazing get by Ray. Ray, tell everybody what you told me about Roberto Garza. Oh, yeah. And I let Roberto Garza know this. I never fanboy out on our guests or anything like that because that's unprofessional. But I did let him know. I used to get fired up watching him when I was a kid.
When I would see Garza on the field, I would see that name, that Mexican name. Are you saying Jersey? That's cool. Representation. That's right. So I let him know that. That's excellent. That's what's up, Ray. Yeah, that's great.
man for it for him to know that it's a beautiful thing when he was uh first in the league i think it was 2007 well so maybe a few years in i think at the time they measured there were fewer than 20 players of his spare hispanic origin in the nfl wow that was a stat i had read it's incredible i think and he was very nice and interesting to talk to and true to form
taught us about javelinas and the dangers and a good center you grow up learning this stuff man i'm just telling you very solid center and doing it with no acls i mean that's the thing right okay i didn't want to joke about this because i was very curious about the process of a physical and what they told him you know about the liability forms and all of that that is really the the crux of this but how many times have we all complained about acls we as a society
You know, and as somebody joked about it on Twitter, they were like, you never hear anything good about them. That's a blank ass ligament. Well, so so which is true, except they said a different term. But and then it's like, oh, well, shouldn't that be the dream to not have the ACL? Wait, that's a problem, too, because you can't tear the ACL if you don't have it. Well, yeah, that's the thing.
I didn't know about the whole not having ACLs. This was not my introduction to it.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of the recent injuries discussed?
Mine was DeJuan Blair when I covered him at the University of Pittsburgh. He did not have ACLs in either leg, and yet he went on to be drafted and played in the NBA. I loved DeJuan Blair. I call these games against DePaul. Oh, that's right. You just don't think that it would be a problem. I was only born with two wisdom teeth on one side.
And it made me really happy because I didn't have to worry about the other two. And that's how it should be. It reminds me of a pitcher without a UCL, an ulnar collateral ligament. Right. R.A. Dickey. Won a Cy Young Award with no UCL at all. Knuckleballer. An incredible career. Do you know what happened? The Rangers team doctor looked at a composite picture and saw the way his arm was hanging.
And he realized, based on the way his arm was hanging at rest, that he was missing a UCL. He was missing a UCL. Now, obviously, they confirmed it. But exactly. See? Think safe. Point to your head. Smirk. Yeah. Because you can't tear something that you don't have. Right. But it probably limits the ceiling. I'd like to go back to yesterday's transition where I...
It was alerted to me that perhaps you guys might have felt accosted in any way about not having a relationship of consequence, so you can't bring it to the air. And really, I was just making a plea for the content. I didn't mean to make anyone feel judged about their relationship or their lack thereof or anything like that. This has been my statement, and I apologize.
Chapter 6: How do the hosts view the impact of player development on team success?
I was not offended. Marshall and I joke about being single all the time. Okay, good. Yeah, I'm good. I'll put it like this. It's just a lot of pressure to have to bring about my wife. But you don't have to. That's a good one. That's another fair point by my partner. That's a fair point. Here's my thing on this, Matt. What's that, Marshall? I am single, but I am single by choice.
I do not pretend that if I wanted to, quote unquote, have a significant other, if I wanted to have a girlfriend, I could have one. Oh, yeah. I just got other priorities right now. I got you. He's got to get through March Madness first. That's facts. We're in our work season here at the score. And I would just like to offer to everyone... curtain jerker games. Here they are.
Loyola versus Richmond. It's uncomfortable. At 10, that's a curtain jerker game. How dare you do that to the spiders? I will not have this spider slander in my house. The curtain jerker game feels like something that comes up in a joke about a sperm bank or something. It just makes me uncomfortable. The fact that there are conference tournament games that are already over.
Those were curtain-jerker games. I don't know. Iowa beating Maryland this morning is a curtain-jerker game. You guys know the sperm bank joke, right? You know that one? I'm scared to ask. No, it's a good one. It's a good one. 80-year-old guy goes to the sperm bank.
Chapter 7: What are the hosts' thoughts on the recent World Baseball Classic events?
Says, hi, I'm here. I'd like to donate. They're like, here you go. All right, sir. Here's a... They give him a jar, and they tell him to go behind a curtain, right? And he's back there for 10 minutes. He's back there for 20 minutes. And he comes out and he says, just can't do it. I tried my right hand, tried my left hand. I tried both hands. I can't open the jar. That's the joke. Come on now.
That's a good joke. Lawrence, could you please hand me a spoon? He couldn't. That's a joke. Come on. I think that's just on the line. That's a winner. No, it's totally crazy. He's on the edge like this, hanging on the edge. That's a Herm Spiegel special. What do you know from funny, you bastards? I know, it is funny. It is funny.
Lawrence is the only Jewish friend I have anymore at this radio station. Thank God you're here. How does that work? Just take it. Whatever group will have me, I'm fine. I call myself a friend of the tribe. That's good. You know what I tell you? If you don't pray for your guy, we don't get our guy. Wow. That's right. It's a partnership.
And look, if you've been watching the WBC, you've been learning a lot about that guy during commercial breaks. Yeah, you pointed out, by the way, you have been learning a lot.
Chapter 8: How do the hosts reflect on representation in sports and its significance?
Thank you, Mark Wahlberg, for that information. And thank you, Zachary Levi. But also, you pointed out... This is why you've got to watch on Tubi. The unfortunate tweet from Fox. Oh my God, what were they thinking? I think they have since taken it down, but they initially had put out Israel eliminated. With a giant Star of David. Israel has been eliminated. I didn't even think about that.
Israel eliminated. From the World Baseball Classic. I just thought it was a World Baseball Classic. It said from the World Baseball Classic. No, it did not. It just said Israel eliminated. That's not. Come on. And considering, you know, events that are outside of our purview. Sure. It's real scary. Every time you open a news app, you're wondering if such things are true. Yeah. It's tough.
So, danger. I'm sorry because I saw that and I was like, oh, they got eliminated for the World Baseball Classic. I didn't even think about the other thing. That's funny. Inside the mops said Sammy Davis Holmes Jr. That's good. Hey, he converted. He converted. Yeah, but apparently he was into some other stuff, too. I want to say Eddie Murphy had said during, what's Seinfeld show?
Comedians in Cars? Dead in Coffee? That apparently Sammy was kind of hinting at Satanism with him one day. It was like, you know, God's powerful, but so is the devil. And Eddie was like, alright. Was that a sales pitch? Apparently he was lining up for one. When I interest you in Satan, keep talking. Keep talking. Go on. That's crazy.
Which naturally reminds me of Russ Wilson saying, not today, Satan, not today. Not today. What was that one over there? Oh, Hot Ones. No, no. Russ Wilson. Oh, this is the Epstein Files. The Epstein Files, his name. Oh, yeah, that's right. Not the Hot Ones one. And then they were trying to sell him a yacht. He's like, not today, Satan. I was just there to buy a yacht.
No, they were pitching a yacht to him, right? Wasn't that it? Yeah, that's it. They came to him. Speaking of Russell Wilson, he had previously set the record for dead cap money with the Broncos, right? And then Tua broke that record. There's 99 mil of dead cap money. But when you do all the math on the Dolphins, including who is it? Bradley Chubb and Jalen Ramsey.
Is Tyreek's money still part of that deal? Tyreek Hill, thank you. $151 million this year alone in dead salary cap money for the Miami Dolphins. Congratulations, Dolphins. So it's a rebuilding year is what you're saying. 151! We are your secondary. My God! I got a couple of fouls to give. Let's go. That's mismanagement right there. Dude! And yet, but it's the NFL, man. I don't know.
Do you have fouls to give? If you have fouls to give, you should go immediately and sign up to play for the Washington Wizards. That's what I always say. I've got six fouls to give. Don't I? Those are useful. What else am I going to do out there? Bam was making those free throws, though. Yes, he was. You can foul them all you want. The shade, like the gatekeeping of an 83-point game.
No, but Brian O'Keefe was the best because I think he realized, if we had maybe played a little bit more defense in the first half, we wouldn't be in this mess. Says every NBA team ever. What did he have, 32 in the first? 31 in the first, 43 in the second half. So guess what? Kiss my ass. You get what you get. 62 through three quarters.
