00:00All right, let's do this. Five Reasons I Hate You, Los Angeles Lakers edition.
00:03We'll do a St. Louis Cardinals edition for the Astros opponent this weekend in the 8 o'clock hour.
00:09Number five, Seth, their only title of the LeBron era is a phony, phony-ass bubble title
00:17that they won in the COVID year, which is what that was.
00:23Which LeBron framed as basically it was like going off the war.
00:27Oh, yeah. People didn't understand the adversity we faced in that luxury hotel.
00:31Oh, my God. Cut off. Cut off from society and the world at large,
00:37except for, you know, food deliveries from whichever restaurant we wanted.
00:41Did you know we only had three choice cuts of meat to choose from each night?
00:45Yeah, yeah. It was it was poverty is what it was.
00:48Yeah. So I actually saw an interview with Anthony Davis.
00:50I should have pulled this for this segment where Anthony Davis, who's no longer a Laker,
00:55so it's easier for him to do this, probably. But even he was like, man, it was like Disneyland in
01:00there.
01:01He's like it was like it was it's just, you know, I actually did during the break.
01:07I just didn't have time to pull the audio. But the direct quote admitted that the Anthony Davis admitted
01:11that the 2020 bubble championship was, quote, essentially fantasy camp at Disney.
01:16Those of you holding on to the idea that it was legitimate or delusional.
01:22That's you know what? Oh, that it was legitimate in terms of the actual.
01:27I haven't listened to the whole cut, but that's what the cut.
01:30That's the transcribed quote that's in the tweet. Yeah.
01:33Well, you know, the one thing about the bubble championship was that it was a really good brand of basketball.
01:38It was just all the advanced stats on how fast guys were running and everything.
01:44Guys had fresh legs from having played a shortened season.
01:47Everybody was super dialed in because they had nothing to do but basketball.
01:50They couldn't go out at night. Yeah. Yeah.
01:52It was really it was if I if I had my druthers, I would have a bubble.
01:57If the Lakers could Bobby, this one tells you about the Lakers under LeBron James.
02:02It's it. They don't handle distraction well at all.
02:05Yeah. When they were forced to not partake of everything else that life has to offer.
02:10They were incredible. But now, you know, once they're once they're left out into the wild
02:15and they can go diminish themselves in any which way they choose.
02:19It's not so hot. Yep. That's right. LeBron James bad leader.
02:23Yep. That's the takeaway. So their only title during the LeBron era, phony, phony baloney bubble title.
02:30Phony baloney. Phony baloney. You're phony baloney, Mr. Dad joke.
02:35Um, so, um, number four, nepo, baby, brawny, nepo, baby, nepo, baby, brawny, LeBron James,
02:43essentially forcing the Lakers to draft his son with the 55th overall pick when by my big board,
02:50Seth, he was the 314th best player in that draft class. 314th is what I had. No exaggeration at all.
02:58Um, I don't have a big board, um, but nepo, baby, brawny, uh, and I have a, this is where
03:03thing I
03:03don't like to take it out on, on brawny. Right. I like the, I just like the, to question LeBron
03:10and his choice of like trying to, trying to have his son make a go at it in this world.
03:16Like, why
03:16don't you just, why don't you just cut the apron strings, fella? Yeah. And let brawny go out and do
03:21it on his own instead of giving him this cushiony, uh, environment in which to, in which to operate.
03:27And, uh, I've got to go play D league for a couple of days and now I'll go back up
03:32to the NBA and
03:33just, yeah, just let it, let it go, man. You're smothering him. We might see some brawny in this
03:39series with these injuries. The Lakers have right now. He's been pointed to as a potential X factor.
03:44Oh really? Yeah. X factor, huh? I read a article somewhere out of LA. Okay. Okay. So I'm, you know,
03:50when I'm getting my, uh, when I'm getting the trade paper or the trades about the Hollywood industry.
03:55Yes. Yeah. Um, the, uh, Hollywood reporter. Mm-hmm. Um, yeah. So you're right. That's,
04:01it's not, I don't want to take this out on brawny. The, I just put nepo baby brawny as the,
04:06just sort of the catch-all I'd say helicopter parent LeBron. Yeah. Yeah. It's more of a LeBron
04:11thing for sure. You're right about that. He's suffocating brawny. Yep. Yep. He's like,
04:15you know what he is? He's like, uh, he's like that elephant that sat on the egg for a while.
04:20Horton,
04:20that fella. Is that, was it? Is that, was it Horton that sat on the egg? Uh, and then the
04:26mom
04:26came back in and tried to be like, act like, Oh, Hey, time for you to go. I don't know
04:30if it was
04:31it a Dr. Seuss book. Cause it was Dr. Seuss. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. Text in Ben or Ben.
04:36This
04:36is, if it were a movie, Ben would very literary. I don't know this one. You don't know this one.
04:40Okay.
04:40Okay. Yeah. Text in boy. A lot of people hate the Lakers. That's what I'm learning by looking at
04:44the text page. Wow. Uh, we'll get to some of your texts on the base power text line in just
04:48a minute. Um,
04:49five reasons. I hate you. We're up to number three. Do I need to remind everybody? If you're
04:54trying to hate the Lakers as if it's not easy enough to do, these are the same people that
04:59root for the Dodgers. Yeah. These are the same people that continue 10 years later to bring
05:07up the sign stealing back in 2017 people that had their children throw baseballs at placards
05:15of Jose Altuve. Correct. And try to decapitate, uh, and, and effigy of Jose Altuve. Cardboard
05:22Altuve. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like these are murderous, awful people. They're bad people. Yeah. These
05:27are bad citizens. These are bad Americans. These are people who would wish death upon it unironically.
05:36Like they just really went in, not to mention a violent crew as well. They're very violent at the
05:41ballpark. We know that at Chavez ravine, it gets, that's not even us being tongue in cheek. It gets
05:47dicey at Chavez ravine. We get the videos to prove it. So yeah, these are, these are Dodger fans. We
05:52hate Dodger fans and thus we hate Laker fans by the transitive property of equality. Um, number two,
06:00for some reason, teams just hand the Lakers superstars through the years. It's like other
06:06GMs. It's like whoever the GM is for the Lakers at the time, whether it's, whether it's, uh, uh,
06:12Palenka right now, or whether it was Jerry West back in the day, they get these, these other
06:17GMs on a zoom call and they just do that thing where you swing the little, little pocket watch
06:22in front of them here and you are getting very sleepy. But before you fall asleep, you're going
06:27to give me Pau Gasol for nothing. You're going to give me Anthony Davis for nothing. Yeah.
06:33Yeah. And, and like the way they did it with Luka Doncic, they dupe the other GM into keeping
06:38it quiet. Don't even tell anybody in your own organization about it because it's such a great
06:43deal for all of us. They won't want you to have it. They won't want you to do it. So
06:48you
06:49end up, they just, they do, they hypnotize people. That's where the, the danger of like the, the
06:54modern NBA player doesn't give a damn about, uh, the Showtime Lakers or anything. It's that
07:00they like LA. I think they like the idea of going to work and play in the city of Los
07:04Angeles. Um, but the allure of the Lakers, that aura, it still applies. I think when
07:10it comes to other, the people our age and that's where they get into trouble, the GMs
07:15and whatnot. Well, that's what makes this series so fun is I don't care that the Lakers are
07:21debilitated. This is a chance to beat the laundry. This is a chance to beat the Laker
07:26uniform. This is a chance to, as, as we've got, uh, folks pointing out champ slice pointing
07:31out on the base power tax line reasons to hate the Lakers. The 09 series was rigged in
07:36their favor. The Rockets played the Lakers in 2009. And that was a series where they
07:42had lost Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady to injury. And they still took them to seven games, right?
07:47They still took them to seven. No. And, and like, let's remember too, what, what is the
07:51league doing now? They're, they're giving the Lakers two days rest between every game
07:58in this damn series as they, they hope that LeBron can rest and recuperate and recover.
08:04And maybe Don church, if he tries to play has an extra day to recover with his hamstring
08:09and all that. They're doing every damn thing they can to try to foist up this dying phony
08:14franchise. We can throw this in to be what they once were. We can throw this in as a reason
08:18to hate the Lakers. However, my number one reason to hate the Lakers, as I mentioned before,
08:23you know, the crossover hit of Laker fans being Dodger fans, the crossover hit of JJ
08:28Reddick being not only the coach of the Lakers, not only being somewhat of a Nepo coach. Cause
08:33I think the biggest reason he got the job was because LeBron likes him. You know, they
08:37did their little podcast for a while where the two of them would sip wine, like a couple
08:41of fancy lads and sit there.
08:42JJ Reddick would, as he was also, he would get on his podcast and whine about the job that he
08:46accepted to do on television. Like, I can't believe they want me to do the job I was accepted
08:52to do. These guys aren't as smart as I am on my podcast. I'm whining, but somehow framing
09:00it as it's because I'm such a pure basketball soul.
09:03Right. And the other thing, he went to Duke. He went to Duke as if I need any more reasons
09:09to hate JJ Reddick as if you, the Houston, Texas tax paying citizen needs any more reason
09:16to hate the Lakers or JJ Reddick. He went to Duke. So those suppress all of the secrets
09:22that, that coach K wanted him to suppress exactly right. Any kind of scandals or anything else
09:28like that. He keeps his mouth shut like a good little boy. Yep. Um, uh, we got a lot of
09:33people
09:33hating on the Lakers text message. I hate the Lakers because magic Johnson is a lie.
09:39He deceived gullible children. Nothing classy about that. Might as well claim. Oh, I'm not
09:43going to read that one. I'm not going to read who he's going to claim to be because there's
09:47kids in the car. How did he deceive people? Probably because he had a, he, he had a very
09:53pure, you know, he had like a kind of a very pure image throughout the eighties. And as it turns
09:56out, he was sleeping around with a lot of people. I feel like that person might be actually
10:00diving into some kind of deeper conspiracy theory about something. Maybe I, his life.
10:05Okay. Okay. Yeah. Maybe. I don't know. Um, but, uh, there are a lot of conspiracy theories
10:10about him that are basically like, it's a, people that don't understand the timing of
10:14a, I don't want to get into it. Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, reasons to hate the Lakers. Uh,
10:18they are the premier basketball franchise and LeBron is going to dump them for Cleveland champ slice.
10:23Um, I don't know if that's a reason to hate them, but that could happen this off season.
10:26Reason to hate the Lakers, JJ Reddick, Luka Doncic and Austin Reeves. Too many white dudes. Okay.
10:34There's a good chance that's coming from a white dude. Yeah. Oh yeah. You know, it's champ slice.
10:38Champ slice is a white. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's definitely, uh,
10:41definitely. Champ slice is white. Yeah. I believe so. Yeah. If I'm not mistaken.
10:45I just assumed that that name was, uh, it had a little too much, it had a little too much
10:49style
10:50and then panache to it for it to be a, one of us. Good job champ. Yeah. Yeah. You know,
10:55I'm pretty, I'm, I'm fairly certain champ slice. Champ getting invited to the cookout.
11:00All right. All right. 713-572-4610. If you, uh, if you want to get in on the Laker hatred
11:10here.
