Speaker 1: All right, it's the been in Skin Show ninety seven
Speaker 1: point one, the Eagle.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So there was Ben and I were just talking about
Speaker 1: we were down at the MAVs offices and as we
Speaker 1: were leaving, there was some shocking sports news that came
Speaker 1: down in that Mike Malone got fired from the Denver Nuggets. Now,
Speaker 1: this is probably not a story a lot of our
Speaker 1: listeners are following, but it's weird because it's the I
Speaker 1: think it's the latest firing in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 2: At tied when HUGHB.
Speaker 1: Brown got fired in nineteen eighty one.
Speaker 2: What seed are they right now?
Speaker 1: They are tied with I think like four other teams
Speaker 1: for anywhere from three to six.
Speaker 2: Why would they fire him right before they go to
Speaker 2: the playoffs.
Speaker 1: So that's what's so crazy about it, Ben, And not
Speaker 1: only that, they also fired the general manager, the great
Speaker 1: Calvin Booth who hit that jumper over the Utah Jazz
Speaker 1: that we all remember so well in nineteen ninety or
Speaker 1: two thousand and one.
Speaker 2: I guess that's two thousand. Remind me of Humpty Hump.
Speaker 2: He did.
Speaker 1: He looked a lot like the Humpty Hump and Nick
Speaker 1: Cage kind of merged to get other. Uh So, looking
Speaker 1: at the standings right now, they're fourth in the West.
Speaker 1: They're fourth in the West, and they are globbed together
Speaker 1: with one, two, three, four other teams that are all
Speaker 1: separated by half a game. Now, Jokich is putting up
Speaker 1: his best season, probably if he's gonna be the MVP
Speaker 1: if it's not Shay. Right, So their record is forty
Speaker 1: seven and thirty two. Now there has been slippid since
Speaker 1: the All Star break, and they are giving up a
Speaker 1: lot of points and they're not getting any stops. But
Speaker 1: the guy who's replacing him is actually the son of
Speaker 1: an old NBA coach, a guy named Rick Adelman who
Speaker 1: coached the Kings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, mustache man.
Speaker 1: His son, Dave Adelman, is is gonna coach him with
Speaker 1: three games left and then go into the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So it's very strange news, and it comes on the
Speaker 1: heels of two weeks ago us being shocked that Memphis
Speaker 1: fired Taylor Jenkins. By the way, when Memphis fired Taylor Jenkins,
Speaker 1: they're currently half a game behind the Denver Nuggets. So
Speaker 1: if you're looking at this and you're keeping score at home,
Speaker 1: all these teams that are way above five hundred, I
Speaker 1: mean way above five hundred, double digit games above five
Speaker 1: hundred are firing their coaches in the final weeks of
Speaker 1: the season. So it's strange. And then obviously Sports News
Speaker 1: is going to react to this and they are going,
Speaker 1: we're all hands on deck. We got to get everybody
Speaker 1: on the case here. And so I want to show
Speaker 1: you a picture that I saw on the television when
Speaker 1: I walked in today to do the show, just moments
Speaker 1: after we had the firing. Do you guys know who
Speaker 1: Ramona Shelburne is? Yeah, of course, all right. I just
Speaker 1: sent you guys a picture and I walked in and
Speaker 1: this is on ESPN as we are in the day
Speaker 1: and age of Ah.
Speaker 2: She did to get her reaction from her car. Please,
Speaker 2: Why do they have to get a reaction from her car? Dude?
Speaker 3: Come on, okay, hold on, ESPN is getting reaction. They've
Speaker 3: got one broadcaster in a studio. This backing behind her
Speaker 3: looks great, huge production value, million dollars set.
Speaker 2: And then Ramona Shelburne.
Speaker 3: Is, uh, she's just kind of disheveled.
Speaker 2: Her hair's kind of messed up.
Speaker 3: She appears to be in a Pontiac Grand Amy.
Speaker 2: We don't go live because we're ready. We go live
Speaker 2: because news broke.
Speaker 1: Now and then skip over one picture and you can
Speaker 1: see when they went to full screen.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have done that.
Speaker 3: Just get out of your car, though, even if you
Speaker 3: got out of your car, just I just let the
Speaker 3: background of you.
Speaker 2: I don't even know where this camera is.
Speaker 1: Okay, I know, but she's not giving you better audio
Speaker 1: with whatever technology there is.
Speaker 2: Put her picture up there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ramona Shelburne calling in from the airport whatever. She
Speaker 3: suddenly looks like the Chewbacca lady. And why can't she
Speaker 3: just hold the phone up? It's a steering wheel pov.
Speaker 3: Hey do you want to see what's inside my nose?
Speaker 3: Let me tell you why I think Mike Malone got fired.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a day and age of zooming and technology.
Speaker 3: We can't be taking phone calls anymore. We don't need
Speaker 3: to zoom in this circumstance.
Speaker 2: Yea.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of times where, like on the
Speaker 1: cable news networks, they fly it or they you know,
Speaker 1: zoom in somebody and man, they don't have a good
Speaker 1: setup for it. No, and that's when you should just
Speaker 1: put up a picture. That's what we watched on the.
Speaker 3: News for decades, for decades before we had zoom technology,
Speaker 3: they would show you a picture of Buster Olney and
Speaker 3: he would call in from the ballpark. Just because we
Speaker 3: have zoom doesn't mean that we need to use it
Speaker 3: because this is stupid looking, yes.
Speaker 1: Or you know, like, let's get our staff of hundreds
Speaker 1: and get someone else in the case until you're at home.
Speaker 2: Right right? Anyone else get home? Is there anyone who's
Speaker 2: not in their car who could be on TV? Right now?
Speaker 2: All right? Are now Denver fired their head coach? All right?
Speaker 3: Now, let's go for Ramota's car to Tim McMahon's car. Tim,
Speaker 3: you're on the highway, be careful while you're driving and zooming.
Speaker 3: We're all starting to pauland Winhurst from the highway and
Speaker 3: triple box this.
Speaker 2: Dude.
Speaker 3: If I'm on a zoom and I happen to be
Speaker 3: in my car, I'll turn the camera off, yes, because
Speaker 3: I don't even want the people in.
Speaker 2: A zoom to have to see that pov.
Speaker 3: No, and she is on television, live television, and when
Speaker 3: it's the sun, it couldn't be any more lit, dude,
Speaker 3: Like this is the best lighting you can possibly get
Speaker 3: for a POV shot from the steering wheel into her nose.
Speaker 3: As she's driving a car, I can see more of
Speaker 3: her head rest than her head. All right, here we go.
Speaker 3: We are off to the races coming up next in
Speaker 3: the Hollywood Shuffle, the White Lotus ratings are in and
Speaker 3: they might surprise you.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that next
