We broadcast this on terrestrial radio, but really for you, the podcast listener. So you could enjoy the show on demand, how you want it, and a couple things that are interesting going on in the sporting world. Here in hour number one, it's all about the no-no-no to the trade of Max Crosby. The Ravens pulling out of the Max Crosby trade. The Ravens pulling out of the Max Crosby trade with the Raiders. A failed physical has been cited. How realistic does that come across? And Max Crosby going back to Las Vegas after the Baltimore rejection.

3:02Which part of the story feels the most uncomfortable? What part of the story feels the most uncomfortable? And where does this Max Crosby story go next with the Raiders? We'll talk about all of that. And more, here it is, settle in. It's hour number one. Well, a trade is a trade until it is not a trade. And that is not apparently a trade. Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben Mallor Show. We are in the air, everywhere together, as we howl at the wolves. Coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast and monolithically powerful. Microphones of FSR emanating live. From the store. It's Benny's general store.

4:02And the hot takes are flying off the shelves of the world famous. Sports radio studios. The Buckeye Saad Buster. That's a new one. Buckeye Saad Buster reminds us that this hour may possible by our friends at Tire Rack for over 40 years. I'm told that's a long time. Tire Rack, two generations.

Investing in Balls Risk. For more information visit Webowl.com slash Disclosures. All right, so I lead this item. I'd play you an opportunity to go several different directions. And I did watch a good amount of what happened here. I saw the BAM out of bio. The most bogus 80 point game in the history of pro basketball. Oh my god. Oh my god. And I really thought about doing that. But that would reward the Miami Heat for the shenanigans that took place in that game. If they had a real commission with balls, there would be some kind of mark on that. It was ridiculous. It was embarrassing for the NBA. But most things that happened the regular season of embarrassing. We'll talk about that later. I was playing like it's the World Series for Team USA. Who goofed?

6:05I've got to know. But we begin with this. Our lead story from Lost Wages, Nevada. Which is also Lost Trades, Nevada. Yeah, so the story. I think this is by far the biggest football story. The biggest football story. The second day of what I love is the legal tampering period for the NFL. The silver and black continue to be in the headlines. I know our buddy Perritos were upset. And a lot of the the raiders who their fan base. I will say this with their fan base has more passion than the team does. It's almost like they still think they're good. Which is hilarious to me. They blow. They're the browns of the jets. They just have a different logo. So yet again, a stunner from Sin City. And man alive. This is wild. So if you didn't hear, I assume you've heard by now. You don't pay attention. Perhaps you've been off the grid. And you've been away from all forms of media. So the raiders who a couple days ago it was announced with much fanfare.

7:05With much fanfare. Had said bite by to Max Crosby. They sent his ass out of Vegas and send him to Maryland. Well, now psych. The raiders announced that the ravens had backed out of the agreement to acquire edge rusher max Crosby. What does that mean? That means X-NAY on the trade A. No trade. Now this did not. It is interesting to point out also. This did not come from the normal gibbonies. Adam Schefter didn't have it. The rap sheet didn't have it. The NFL media. This was a story that was not leaked. It was delivered by the raiders on social media. Normally these things are just given to the insiders to get out there. It was just a random social media post. One so random there were people that truly believed that the raiders account had been hacked.

8:05And so the previous agreed deal. The deal that previously had been agreed to where the raiders were sending Crosby to Baltimore. And then they got some crab fries and two first round draft picks in return. And that was set to become official official. We could make kosher in under 24 hours. And it turns out. No. Turn at the lights. The party's over. Yeah. So the word is Crosby failed the physical. His representation ran to the microphones. This gets social media. It'll be good to go. It's going to be summer. Everything will be good. So that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss the question. The ravens pulling out of the max Crosby trade with the raiders because of what is. The claim is a failed physical. How realistic does that report come across?

9:05That's what's being tossed out there that the ravens said no, no. Bad knee. It's a bad knee for max Crosby. So my views on this. I've got house band, champagne, and playstation. And we'll throw all of these together and we're going to drop a brand new album. And whether you like it or not, we're just going to have a bunch of bots download the album. Isn't that what all the people do today? All the kids. You just have bots downloaded. So it doesn't matter if it's good or not. You just have artificially fake downloads. This entire episode. If you are on the side, well, the ravens are in the right. And I believe the ravens doctors. I have bad news. This is a stupid test. And you've just failed. Sorry, not sorry. Okay. You are gullible. Just how gullible are you if you believe this is an accurate story that's being fed to us that the ravens physical was the reason

10:07the Crosby's trade was declined. This is one of the oldest open secrets in the NFL and all of sports. Even when I was a little kid. And I'm so old, I was around before the internet. But even then, when I was growing up, I knew about this. The past, the physical dance is political as much as anything. It's not really medicine. It's not medicine. It's political. Let me explain. For those of you who slow in the back of the room here, the team doctor, whether you work for the ravens or the patriots or the Vikings, whoever the team doctor is, they work for the team. They don't work for the male clinic. They're more like the house band. They're the house band, whether it's on a boat or a casino, they're the house band. However, they are told the play. That's how it works.

11:07And if the GM wants Max Crosby, if the ownership in Baltimore says we want Max Crosby, what happens? Then the story is, well, listen, the doctor gave him a physical, he's got some minor wear and tear. It's perfectly normal. The guys play a lot of snaps in the NFL Max Crosby. And it makes sense. If you suddenly don't want the player because you've had a change of heart, because you realize that wasn't such a great trade for you, for whatever reason, if you believe that, then the need, the structural instability, we just can't make the trade. We just can't, we just cannot do it. Should the doctor push back, again, the house band, should the doctor push back, the ravens would then fly to Chicago, they'd visit Lumal Notties, they'd get a deep dish pie, they'd get a deep dish pie, and then have lunch with Doc Mike, who will then sign off on it. Our caller, Doc Mike from Chicago, right?

12:07They'll say, yeah, no problem. Or go! The ravens change their mind. They say, well, we don't want to give up that many draft picks. That's not what the ravens do. First round draft picks like that. That's out of our culture. So we have a chance here, because the trade hasn't been sent through the league, so we're going to bow out of it. And we're going to use the physical as a fall guy. Everyone's got to have a fall guy. Secondly, keeping the rhythm of this hour going, the hour of Max Crosby. So Max Crosby goes back to Vegas for now, and Baltimore does the old Mutambo. They reject Max Crosby. So which part of this story feels the most uncomfortable? Because there's a lot of uncomfortable things about this. There's a lot of things that are very odd. There's oddities to this. Which makes it so good. It's just great. So the raiders, I'm going to start with them. They tried prematurely.

13:08We have pills if you've got premature issues. Listen to the overnight show. But the raiders tried to celebrate prematurely. Now, the breakup, the divorce papers, had not yet been signed, but they were already having a party to celebrate the divorce and all that's classic mistake. You never popped a champagne. Don't pop the champagne until the paperwork clears the league office. You don't measure the drapes before you win the election. Okay, so bad job by them. The raiders, and then they did this just ridiculous victory lap. Because the raiders don't win during the regular season. They suck. They're the jets of the browns. So when they make a move of transaction in the off season, they celebrate like they're good at something. It's like, hey, we blow, but we're good at this. Of course, anybody can say they want a transaction. Because you won't know for months and months and months. They don't play till September. We're sitting in March. They don't play till September. So the raiders go around. I look at us, man. I mean, I'm like, like peacocks.

14:08With their feathers in the air everywhere. The raiders. We got two first round picks. Weee! So excited. High five in. Chest pumping. Tom Brady, probably in the back polishing. The Lombardi. Right there. Of course, he has one one with the raiders. Twirling his mustache. Like every cartoon villain. Tom Brady there. We're geniuses. Oops, a daisy. Oops, a daisy, Tom. Failed physical. And the trade is D-E-A-D. With Baltimore. So Crosby, boomerangs back. And since this is the portion where we talk about the shame game. So Crosby goes back on the old boomerang. He bounces back to the raiders. And kind of like bad calls on this show that just keep coming back every day. Whether you want them or not. They just pop up. And I'm not, I'm not naming it.

15:09No, Lorraine, I'm not going to name Michael Eppercoundler. I'm not doing it. I didn't hear it. I'm not, I didn't say no. I'm not going hollering James. I'm not saying that name. No. Definitely not. Definitely not. No. But here's the point. So the raiders get the player back. Which you'd say, well, this guy was important to be a raider. This is great. And all that stuff. It's wonderful. The plan would be just to flip Crosby. Again, the raider spent a bunch of money on some marginal players in free agency. And now they lost the two first round picks. They were all excited about and all the jazzed up for. And they've lost, I don't really care about the salary cap flexibility. Some people are worked up into a lather about that. I don't really worry about that. The leverage part of it's where they're screwed. Because now the teams that were interested in Max Crosby, a number of them have filled the void. And those that haven't filled the void. Well, we don't have to pay that much. You guys are screwed. You got to work with us now. All right.

16:09And then how about Crosby? The most awkward of them all. Max Crosby. This dude posted a 13-minute goodbye video to the Raiders. 13-minute heartfelt message to Raider Nation. Max Crosby. Ica Rumba. My God. It's like quitting your job, giving you a very dramatic speech about how your boss is suck. And the morale at work is terrible. And nobody ever gets raises here. And people are very upset. And then HR walks in and says, oh, by the way, you know, actually that transfer thing didn't go through. So you got to come back to work tomorrow. What? Say what? Now the Raiders still have time to make this okay. For now, it's the walk of shame. The walk of shame. You know what I'm saying? It's like, you know, late night booty call there three in the morning,

17:09walking out and a couple of people for some reason awake. They look at you like, what are you doing? You know what you're doing? All the sheveled and all that stuff. So everyone knows that Crosby wanted out. He wanted people with the Raiders. He didn't like Alex Guerrero or Tom Brady thinks he's a phony. And Brady does appear to be a phony as an executive. So Crosby wanted out. And so fine. And now he's got to, again, for now, he's got to go back and pretend pretend that the breakup thing didn't happen and all that stuff. So all right. Now final thought on this flipping forward. So question here is where does this max Crosby story go next with the Raiders? So on this one, you should pull up a chair and get some popcorn. Because this is good. This is where it becomes a late night infomercial. But wait, there's more. But wait, there's, what are you talking about?

18:09But wait, there's more. What, what are you? Yeah, put about. Yeah, yeah. So the thing about like this, the PlayStation, you're doing your thing. You're like Kyler Murray, whatever you playing games. And then he's my favorite gamer, Kyler Murray, little guy. So the PlayStation gets turned off. And nothing got saved. The memory card is toast. And so the Raiders have to start the game from the beginning level. They go back to the start. This is my nightmare. And the Ravens, they hit the big red failed physical box. What's in the box? They hit that. And so suddenly the whole deal goes poof. Like a magician and congratulations to max Crosby here. He won the shami whammy. So congratulations on that. You get the shami whammy. And now the Raiders are back to where they start as we said. And that's the interesting story here. Is they're wandering through the flea market of the NFL here. And like, okay, this is the NFL's trade bizarre.

19:10And they're holding Crosby up like a slightly dented antique lamp. And they got this lamp. It's classic. It might be worth a lot of money. However, we don't know. And antique's road show is what it is. And it works great. A little wear and tear. No problem. No problem. Use a little bit. Pre-owned. So there's the catch now entering the conversation here. Baltimore very publicly red tagged. Max Crosby is damaged at a garage sale. So true or not, that label is going to follow Crosby around. So now Tom Brady and the puppets underneath Tom Brady, who do nothing but just follow the instructions of Tom Brady in the Raider front office. They now have to adjust the price. The market has spoken. They have to adjust the price. The dancing shoes are on. The dancing shoes are on there. And they're doing the limbo. Dude, the limbo.

20:10How low can you go? You look around. You got buffalo out there. New England, Chicago. Dallas is lurking around there. They're all circling. Like bargain hunters on a Monday morning when the new supplies come in at the Amazon liquidation store. And they're trying to find some good stuff there that's in the box. Crosby's still a star. Just now he's on the, not that full discount rack, but a lot less than he was the other day. So slightly scratched box now for Max Crosby and the Raiders are hoping someone still wants to purchase the Max Crosby package. It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you would like to be part, you can join us right now. We'll talk about that. Or if you want to discuss one of the most ridiculous accomplishments in NBA history, one of the most choreographed moments I've ever seen. Oh, my God. This BAM at a bio performance. There should be a lot of people embarrassed.

21:11They don't seem embarrassed. I don't know why they're not embarrassed, but I think you should be. That's kind of spinning a lugey at Kobe Bryant and Wilk Chamberlain and so many others in NBA history. What BAM out of bio did, but I guess they have no shame in that game anymore. It's the modern NBA back in the old days. If you were to 25 point lead and you left your star in the game to try to set some kind of record, what would happen is some goon would come over and just lay the lumber on top of that guy and he would be out for the next month. But that's not how he work. Everyone's lovey-dovey in the NBA, so they don't operate like that. And also team USA losing the Italians. It's up with that. As Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper proving there's still choke artists in big games. If you want to call these big games, which baseball does, and they did not get or done. 877-99 on Fox. 877-9966369. Now mention Max Crosby on the move. So the Ravens are getting called out. There's a theory going around

22:12that the Ravens are playing dirty pool. And it's not necessarily because of the failed physical. That's part of it. But there's more to the story and what the Ravens are being accused of. We'll get to that. We'll take your calls. The whole thing. And we will do it. Next.

Here every night, Monday through Friday on the overnight. On the west coast, it seems more like Sunday through Thursday. But we're here 2 a.m. Eastern time. 11 p.m. in the west every day during the week. And then on the weekends, the 5th hour podcast takes over. This hour, the hour of Max Crosby as the Ravens say that's bad poetry. And he goes back to Vegas. I'm going to comment about that. Also got an 83 point game in the NBA. Man, man, a bio the second greatest performance in NBA history.

27:25As he said, all kinds of records there in one of the most horrific displays of nonsense. I've seen I watched the entire second half. And I'm still shocked at that. I got turned on and scared. Well, I don't know about it. Turn on genies. The ghost of genie and mentford, but it was it was odd. Anyway, we'll talk about that if you want. Also team USA gets upset by the Italians in the world baseball classic. They're not eliminated, but that's embarrassing. If you want to be part of the show, 877 99 on Fox on X at Ben Mallor. Lorraine. Right hand was getting a workout. Lorraine is here. FSR tech queen lady party and a couple loop at up. Bronco. Fans. Move comments can and will be used against you. In the court of sports radio show. And the Malam militia. All right, back to what we go. And we are just getting started here on the overnight.

28:27And let's see. What do we want to start on? There's a good bunch of people sending random messages. A dog in South Korea says team USA falters at the world baseball classic again. Potentially allowing Canada to take home bragging rights. Oh, Canada. I like Canada. I lean. I like the boutine in Vancouver. Like I like that Stanley park in Vancouver. That's awesome. Oh, it's so beautiful. What a great. That's better than Central Park. I also, well, Central Park is the gold standard in Manhattan. But no, no, no. It was raining and it was still like. I always ran into Vancouver, but Stanley Park was awesome. I lean in San Francisco. I mean, San Francisco says my local FSR affiliate is reliving tonight's warriors overtime loss on their post game show. So it's the Ben Malar show on I heart radio. Good job by you. I lean. That's how you do it. Right there. Boom. You see that. That's the backup. If the local yokels are talking about some crappy warriors team, then you can listen to us. And then we got you right here.

29:29It's a hack. Yeah, Femi in back in the old days, you couldn't do that back in the my day. It was only one way. We had no podcasting. There was nothing. You only listen live. It was disposable. It's no longer disposable. Yafimi in Chicago says the Ravens realized that Crosby is broken. Yeah, that's right. What else? That's nice. Nice meeting there. Let's see page and not a burner says Bill Miller was spotted behind the Malar mansion in the north woods, engaging in suspicious activities similar to a scene from the movie Fargo. Yeah, I think that's Iksnay on that. Jason, the diamond man writes into the Ravens team doctor. Dr. Nick Riviera gives Malar a perfect score on the hour. Number one. Malar. Malar. And a hello, everyone. That's a diamond man is listening live. Chris and Ohio is complaining. All this guy does is complain. We got there's a wing of the Malar militia. The the lake elephant and Chris and Ohio, these guys just bitch and complain about everything.

30:31Just chill out. It's not that deep. It's an overnight talk show. Like what are we doing here, dude? I mean, my God. It's ridiculous is what it is. What else do we have to see? Double old Mexican. This guy's a real radar fan. Unlike some of these fraudulent fraudulent. These fraudulent radar fans, double old Mexican says 9.1 out of 10 on the Malar monologue. 100% correct. The Ravens had buyers remorse and pulled the failed physical from the bottom of the deck from the bottom. And I'm telling you, not double old Mexican. I know I met you at the the Malar meet and read things in the past, but it blows me away. How many people are like, oh, well, clearly the Ravens doctors are 100% correct. And that Crosby's damage goods and all like, what are you doing? And as some have pointed out, these physicals, I said two doctors can see the same thing. And one person can say you've got this problem. And the other person can say you have this problem. And so that is why you are supposed to get a second and third opinion when you deal with doctors.

31:36You just don't go to one doctor and believe that one doctor, you got to go and do that. The most famous example of a failed physical, the most famous example would be back in the early 2000s. Not that early. Drew Breeze was going to go play for Nick Saber to the Miami Dolphins. And then the Dolphins doctor said, no, no, no, you failed physical. Although the theory was that's more because the Dolphins got cold feet. And then he went to see the saints and their doctors are like, okay, we're good. We are absolutely good. I'm a doctor. Yeah, I'm a doctor. There you go. A truck stop fungus who's now retired. So he gets to play with the fungus. He says, speaking of PlayStation, I'm sitting in my tidy whiteies with a beer playing Madden 26 already won the Super Bowl with the Vikings three times. So that's how you know it's a video game. That's how you know it's a video game right there. Clearly, Mark from Queens writes in says Ben, I love when my favorite gas bag radio host skillfully mixes in.

32:37Lay the lumber. I don't think the pistons hold bad boys. The pistons old bad boys rather would allow a stat bandito. The lumber would be laid waiting for Rick Mahorn and Bill Lambeer to chime in on on this. Yeah. Well, that's there. There've always been teams that have occasionally tanked. Like the Washington wizards are a blight on the landscape of pro basketball. They have no heart. They have no guts. They're spineless losers. And that's on them. They just stood there. And a lot of the referees also helped the BAM out of bio in that 83 point game. We'll talk about that more later on. The fact that the wizards didn't step up and do anything. Right. DJ, the kid writes in says, why am I not surprised that Mallor found a way to hate on BAM's 83 instead of giving the man his props. You got to find a way to criticize them.

33:38DJ, did you watch the game DJ? If you watched the game and thought that was legit, you got a problem. Okay. And I'm the bad guy. What am I supposed to? I don't work for the NBA. I don't get paid by the NBA. I'm not a shill. If you want somebody to carry the water, there's plenty of guys in media that carry the water for the NBA. I'm not one of them. I'm not. Right. Doc Dan says you mentioned PlayStation. You are a baller. I'm still playing my Sega Genesis. Well, hey, listen, nothing wrong with the Sega Genesis at all. Andy, in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota writes in says another informer of Mallor monologue. I think Mr. Crosby after seeing what the Ravens had going on. Out there decided why the hell would I want to come here and put the cabosh on the deal? It's just one man's opinion. So he's going against the popular opinion is what he's doing. Yeah. Bay City Tony says I am doing the I heart as well in Bay City.

34:38The Warriors insufferable post game goes on forever on and on. Well, good for them. They must have sold a lot of spots if they're doing a long post game show. Because I know when I did the Dodger post game show back in the day, we did it as long as we had commercials. And if they didn't sell a lot of spots that week, the post game show was very short. If they sold a lot of spots, we kept going because the advertisers had to get their spots on. And that's how that goes. Honey. That's all about the money. Let's go. Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello. Any, any money. Let's go to Perito. Boy, he's a big radar guy and not very happy with me. He's part of the radar PR department. Hello, Perito. Welcome. I'm in a great mood tonight, Ben. You are? Why is that? It's not with you. Oh, just not with you, though. What did I do? I just speak the facts. All I do is spit the facts. Spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit spit. It's funny because you know what? I hope he stayed with him. I'm glad they said no. I mean, it's a crappy city Baltimore.

35:39It's like the STD capital of America. Is that true? Can we fact check that? Are there more STDs in Baltimore than any other place? I feel like that's wrong. I'll look it up right now. I feel like that can't be right. I'm thinking of blood. I'm thinking of a good evening, Lorena. Hello, Perito. Hey, Ben. Huh? Yeah. I got something in here. Oh, you have something? I'm Perito. Is that right? There's a... I did see some mail on the table. But I... I stopped really looking at the mail because it's all for you. And I don't get mail anymore. That's not true. It is true. I used to have... You just got hats the other week. Before... Yeah, that's rare. But before you started working here, the mail was for me. And I don't even... I haven't gotten prison mail. You really... I don't even get prison mail anymore. The boys... I don't know where your prison lovers went. But we can... I miss my... Where are my prison lovers? I need my men in prison. Where are you guys? Come on. We got a chocolate pecan pie. Really? Yeah. Okay. You got my attention. Some bear dolls. They miss pecan pies. Oh, I love pecan pies. I...

36:39I didn't eat pecan pie for a while because I thought who would want to pie with pecans? And then, like, 15 years ago, I was like, Oh, my God. It's so good. Amazing. The pecan pie. One of the underrated pies. It's... Apple's big pie. Apple's the big pie. Pumpkin's the big pie. But... No. I don't know. Oh, God. Thank you, Barito. Thank you, Barito. It's very kind of you. You didn't poison my part. Did you, Barito? You didn't poison? No, no. I'm kidding. I already got my wish, Ian. The big owl will do it. Hey, but I got something for the three stars. The show for the lotting that tonight. Yeah. Since you have all those big names, I have two for her. And I have a challenge to you with Malibu Lesha to come up with others. But I call her now Queen in the box. And the pickle princess from Portland. Oh, God. Well, she's not really from Portland. You know, the stick's out there. Close enough. Close enough enough enough. You L.A. people think everything in Oregon is Portland.

37:40There's other cities in Oregon. Big boy lives in the woods out there. So, you know, it's like you guys from Orange County. I'll think you're L.A. He was your your baseball team. Well, they don't have a baseball team in Orange County. There's one baseball team in L.A. It's the Dodgers. The angels exist. So that's a AAA team. Moms can bring their kids out and get bobble heads. Hot dogs. They don't care about me. So pathetic. We could probably throw out the first person in an angel game at this point. I bet you we could. Let's contact the angels. But I got this thing in Worcester with the Wu Sox. We'll probably throw out the first pitch there. And so we'll see if we can make it happen. All right, Perrito. Thank you, buddy. All right. You have a good night. All right. There goes Perrito. Where he goes. Only he knows. Well, I mentioned this guy. He's up late. Normally not up late anymore. A double low Mexican. A real rater fan in San Diego. Hello, double low Mexican. What's going on? Big Ben. What's going on?

38:40I 100% agree. I think the Ravens are trying to pull a fast one and trying to find Trey Hadnard's exonant cheap since he's still available. Well, that is the conspiracy. I'm glad you brought that up because I teased that. And now I can pay that off. Yeah, the theory is there is some kind of deep state collusion with the Ravens and that they were like, well, we can't we don't want to pay. Trey Hendrickson is going to be out of the budget and all that stuff. But then they talked to him and he's like, well, yeah, you know, I'd be willing to play there and all that stuff. So the Ravens backed out of a Max Crosby trade. And now the speculation is that they're going to sign Trey Hendrickson later today. And his market value is either the same as Crosby a little less. And people already calling double low Mexican for an investigation. It hasn't even happened yet if people are calling for an investigation. The thing I have an issue with and this is before any of this happened is I hate this legal tampering.

39:41What is that? Like, I don't understand. Start the league or don't start the league. So you don't have these issues. No, no, they want to milk this. This is all about milking it. As a talk shows, I don't care. I'm happy because this drags on the transactions though. I got a show to do every day, double a Mexican. We're going to milk this thing for a week. And then next week there'll be another round of stories. I'm all about it, man. Come on. Come on. I think. Yeah. I think Robby ends up staying with the Raiders. I'm a Saudi cap trusser. They got. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Listen to the Raiders. He doesn't want to be there whether whether they want him or not. He doesn't want to be there. He doesn't like Alice Guerrero or Tom Brady. He wants out of there. And so they'll find whether it's Dallas or somewhere else. Maybe a train of the Patriots and that'll be that. We'll see. We'll see. In that 80, whatever point game doesn't count one big of my book. That was the biggest sham. How do they not close line that guy? How is he shooting 43 to those?

40:41How does that count? It was a 43, I believe. 43,000. How did that happen? What is he? How? He's Michael Jordan LeBron James. Will Chamberlain, all mixed into one. Bam out of bio. Bam, bam. You got to be kidding me. So ridiculous. It was, I watched the game. And the wizard, now they were sometimes they actually did foul them. He, I believe it was the number was 26. He drew 26 fouls. 26. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. Yeah. That point record is about as legit as a LeBron James. No, you've upset. No, double them. You've upset DJ, the kid. He's not happy because he thinks you're being negative here about Bam out of bio. He yelled at me. So he was going to yell at you. DJ, the kid's very upset with you for trashing Bam out of bio. I watched basketball before 2010. Yeah. Exactly. All right. You working nights again? Or is this just a rare and appropriate time for you to go?

41:42It's a rare and appropriate time to call. But I'm looking to call a little more. I'm working a little bit later some nights. So you'll be hearing more from me. All right, buddy. Be good out there. Thank you. The great double old Mexican in San Diego. Our buddy. Love that guy. Just to be a regular. He was working the night shift, but now I'm working the dreaded day shift. All right. Time now for the who am I game? And here we go. So Bam out of bio thing. So Bam out of bio made 36 free throws. He attempted 43. So 43 attempts. He made 36 of them. And those are both records. But Bam out of bio the heat made 36 foul shots. Who? Which is the NBA single game record. He broke the record held by Wilt Chamberlain. Who? And me. It was a shared record. All right. Again, Bam out of bio the heat made 36 foul shots. Which is the NBA single game record. He broke the record that had been shared by Wilt Chamberlain and me. Who am I? The answer.
