tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be. And
we are back at it again in the salt mine
(01:43):
of talk and our lead this hour from the Delaware
Valley where there will be no more pro bouncy ball
until next season. Because the Sixers, they were trying to
stay alive, trying to stay alive and force a Game
seven against the Knickerbockers. But I wanted to do that.
I'm told they had to win game six. I didn't
play in the NBA, so I don't know that for sure.
(02:04):
But Josh Hart, you gotta have heart. He's the guy
that screwed up the last game. He missed a foul
shot late that helped facilitate the Philadelphia win with Josh Shart.
In this game, he hit the go ahead three pointer,
the moneyball top of the arc with twenty four point
four seconds left. That was enough to slay the Dragons,
(02:26):
send New York past Philly and into the second round.
But the headliner here Jalen Brunson forty one points twelve assists.
The Partriers in the Pear Tree led the Knicks, who
are now in the semi finals. They match up with Indiana,
who got rid of the Milwaukee basketball team game one
(02:48):
in that series. Will be Monday night in Gotham. The
better story, though, is in Philly the loser's locker room,
So that's where we will go. Let us discuss the
question who who gets the blame? Who gets the blame?
Cheese steak? For coach Nick Nurse's seventy six ers, it
was supposed to be different. It wasn't supposed to have
(03:10):
this kind of ending with the changes the Sixers made.
I've got Wimbledon, Betty Crocker, and wrenches, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to drive a hard bargain, is what we're going to do.
So a normally these things are rather simple. You dish
(03:33):
out the blame paint by numbers. Doesn't take a lot
of effort. This is not that deep. We just hang
out on the surface. But the Knicks in this game,
it's a little more complicated because the Knicks came out
and delivered. If you were watching the first quarter, they
delivered an early haymaker. They went blitzkreek early on. They
led by twenty two points. It was thirty three to
(03:53):
eleven about ten minutes into the game, thirty three to eleven.
So Philly then had to move mountains to get back
the thin, which they did. Was tied at ninety five
six forty five to go in the game, Joel Enbiid
and Tyrese Maxi. They were good down the stretch, but
not great down the stretch, and Bead fouled out in
(04:14):
the final minute. Overall, though people say, well, yeah, you're
gonna gonna blame this guy, that guy. You can't blame
the Headliners. It's not their fault. Popular punching bag, popular
pick by popular people to criticize is a certain small
forward for the Sixers who did not do anything of
note in the box score. But for me, if you're
(04:37):
assigning the blames, the blame cheese steak overall, ty Resee
Maxi gets the super sized blame HOGI. I give it
to him. And here's why the basketball media told me
and they told you as well, that the playoff series
for the Sixers against the Knicks was Maxie's bar mitzvah.
(04:59):
He was becoming a man in a headliner and a
superstar and all that. And yet in this game, and
maybe my TV was broken, I don't know, possibly, but
it seemed like for three quarters Maxi was like a
tennis player at Wimbledon, lot of unforced errors. Going into
the fourth quarter, he had taken ten field goal attempts,
(05:21):
he had two made field goals. He was two for
ten with five points over thirty six minutes of play.
And I thought he was an all encompassing type of
suck for the first part of that game, and then
in the fourth quarter he did have a nice finish.
(05:41):
But here we go Johnny as in Johnny Fun spoiler,
not quite there, not quite there? Now page two? What
does this win do for Jalen Brunson's career with the Knicks. Now,
you say it's only the first round of the playoffs,
you know who cares. You can't really get that excited
(06:02):
about the first round. But this is New York. They
get excited about everything. And I think of it like
Betty Crocker. You're baking a cake, and this is another
layer of the myth making cake. Once upon a time
there was a god named Jalen Brunson who was extraordinary,
exceptional and eye popping in playoff games. Oh hoops, pioneer.
(06:22):
He's not Johnny Fun spoiler, He's Johnny Appleseed of the Mecca.
And Jalen Brunson has been everything that Carmelo Anthony was
supposed to be back in the day but was not.
That is what Jalen Brunson has been. We were wrong
about Jalen Brunson and he continues to be a player
(06:44):
that does not. And he wasn't great the last game
in key moments, but overall, you're graded for your overall
body of work, and he was pretty good. Now the
last word here we head to Indy. Now, we're not
going to do a deep dive yet on the game.
We'll do that another hour, but we're gonna talk about
the story that everyone's talking about, not the game itself. Okay,
(07:04):
we'll get back to the actual game later. And trust me,
Doc Rivers is on the show Rundown. He's the punching bag.
The Doc Rivers punching bag will be up and we
will be boxing, will be sparring with the Doc Rivers
punching bag. But it's not about Doc Rivers. It's about
another person from my talk show career, someone we've talked
(07:27):
about a lot over the years, who had a want
to get away mall mate. At the end of this game,
Patrick Beverly. Patrick Beverley stole the headlines after he violently
tossed the ball enraged at some Pacer fans as the
Bucks were being excommunicated from the playoffs. The fans were rejoicing.
(07:52):
No da da da da da, Hey, hey good bye,
just like that. So there's two thirty two to go games.
Lopsided garbage time situation. Patrick Beverley threw a basketball at
a Pacer fan, which I'm told is taboo. But he
didn't do it just once. He threw it into the
crowd twice and at least one fan was hit in
(08:16):
the head. Who goofed? I've got to know. Now, As
Brook Lopez high fived his teammates, Patrick Beverly was caught
on candid camera throwing the basketball for the first time
at one fan, hitting them on the side of the head.
Now here's where it gets even crazier. So he then
(08:37):
asked for the ball back from a different fan, and
the fan gave him the ball back. And what do
you think Beverly did? Beverley said, Okay, we got this.
So Beverly gets his hands on the ball again, and
of course he threw it right back at the Indiana Patriot.
So how do you unscramble this Bucks guard? Patrick Beverly's
(09:00):
temper tantrum in this situation. Now we don't know the
whole story. We don't imagine he'll save it for his podcast,
and maybe this was just an effort to get people
to listen to his podcast. But as you know, we
on this show, we are glue guy Zelots. That said,
(09:23):
in this case, we're gonna pump the brakes because Beverly
needs some tough love. That's knucklehead activity. You are a
dre BRONI your mama Luke when you do that. And
I don't know about you, maybe you're different than me,
But when I was in kindergarten as a little boy,
I learned to keep your hands to yourself right and
(09:43):
your balls to yourself right. There's a level of stupidity
here that goes up, up and away it does. And
in public service announcement, we do a lot of those.
On the overnight public service announcement for fans in the future.
Engaging with Patrick Beverly, he played we all know that
follow the wisdom of Patches o'hallahan from Dodgeball, go out
(10:07):
and get some wrenches. If you can dodge a wrench,
you can dodge a basketball. You can't and actions have consequences.
We know Beverly is going to face the repercussions with
Big Brother because the NBA is going to get sued
up the wazoo, so there'll be a suspension. Right now,
there are ambulance chasing billboard lawyers that are trying to
(10:29):
find the number of the fans that were hit with
the basketballs. Those fans, by the time they get done
with these lawyers will have neck braces on. They'll be saying, oh,
my neck, my back, my neck, my back. Can you say,
jack Pot, I knew you could. I knew you could.
Nowhere does it say on the NBA ticket that you
(10:53):
are allowed or you should look out for a basketball
being thrown by a player who's out of the game
hitting you in the chin or the side of the face.
I don't think that's gonna be tough sledding for Patrick
Beverley and for the NBA lawyers. So good luck. At
least it's different, right, It's not the same crap ol,
(11:15):
but a different day. This is not something that we
get every single day of the week.
Speaker 2 (11:20):

Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven PM Pacific on

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Fox Sports, MLB Network
and Sports Illustrated, and I'm Joe Madden, and we're going
to be around to talk a little bit about managerial
decisions and what may have occurred to the dugout maybe
in the nineteen eighties. It's the Book of Joe Podcasts.
I can't wait for this, Joe. We're going to dive
into what goes on in the dugout and behind the
scenes in Major League Baseball, cars, wind whatever else we
(11:50):
want to talk about. Yeah, well, there are no boundaries, right.
Listen to the Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio app,
on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. If
you had rivers in the Milwaukee Bucks advancing in the
NBA playoffs, you lost your money. That is all, folks.
Well come, in the beginning of another hour of the
(12:14):
Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere a
consortium as we flip the coin of life coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the vast and beautifully
powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the sweat as
(12:36):
we sweat the details. We're broadcasting live from the tyrak
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended installers courtesy Flusher. Can't count
(12:59):
that high time. Iraq dot Com The Way tire Buying
show me and our lead this hour Hit the Road
Jack or doc from Indianapolis Bucks Pacers Game six Eastern
Opening Round playoff series. Milwaukee got dame time back before
(13:21):
game time, looking to win and force a winner take
all Game seven. I assume you know what happened by now,
but maybe you want the details. You might not have
watched and heard so someone named Obi Toppin We're told
that's a basketball player. He scored twenty one points. A
guy that looks like he'd be playing at the local YMCA.
TJ McConnell had twenty points in nine assists, and the
(13:43):
Indiana basketball team had a laugher over the Milwaukee basketball team.
As the Pacers are into the Eastern Conference semifinals for
the first time in a decade. Every ten years like clockwork,
and we will have plenty of time to give Indy
its flowers. They'll play the Knickerbockers. That series will begin
(14:04):
on Monday. Nicks eliminated Philadelphia. But for our purposes now,
the better and bigger story is in the loser's locker room.
So let us discuss and the most interesting man in
all of Wisconsin. We start with him. Where do the
Bucks go from here? With the good doctor Doc Rivers?
(14:25):
Where do they go from here with Glenn Rivers? So
I've got the Navy, Lincoln Park, and superpower, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make an air fryer because we're gonna airfry
some people right now. Number W Let me just get
(14:49):
this out of the way. Doc Rivers is a prolific
carpet bagger period stop. Okay, that's doctors. He's a shyster,
he's a sweet talker, he's overly charismatic. We all know
people like Doc Rivers. He's a used car salesman and
the Bucks should have never hired this guy in the
first place. But he's the milk of human kindness, Doc Rivers.
(15:13):
Even though you had the top record of these, Adrian Griffin,
a boob, got to bring in Doc Rivers. Doc Rivers,
at this point, if You're Milwaukee should be treated like
a Navy ship that's been on the oceans for many,
many years. He should be decommissioned. Rivers has become over
his time in the NBA a Rhodes scholar at excuses
(15:36):
and concession speeches. And I laughed when I heard what
he had to say after the game, because it's the
same crap that he was serving when he coached the Clippers.
It's the same nonsense he had in Philadelphia. He's got
this file. I'm convinced of it. Doc Rivers has a
file on his phone and he just types a couple
(15:57):
of words in. He's like, Okay, I'll repeat the same thing.
I'll do change a few names around, and while everyone
sinks into depression. That's that. Now we maintain. The twenty
eight Celtics with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce won the
most improbable pro bouncy ball championship. Wasn't the Pistons when
they beat Shaq and Kobe and all those guys in
(16:20):
the in the NBA Finals. Now it was not that.
The most improbable NBA championship is the eight Boston Celtics.
They won overcoming medical malpractice at least coaching malpractice in
Doc Rivers. And I know the media apologists out there,
they'll play the injury card is not his fault. He's
(16:40):
not a real doctor. They'll play that from the bottom
of the deck. And to that, we say fuey, We
say fooey. Dame Lillard, all right, Dame Lillard missed a
couple of games. He didn't miss all the games, and
you won. You won one of the games. He didn't
even play it. So if you own the Milwaukee Bucks,
(17:01):
what you should be doing is sending Doc Rivers back
to the boob too. But here's a little taste of
Doc Rivers. And he talked about the mindset winning and
all of that, and let's take a list.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Winning is incredibly hard. It takes twelve to fifteen players
turning themselves into one and buying in your staff being
together as one, and then health, and then you still
may not win. You know, it's just hard, and you're
not gonna win unless you're healthy or unless you're really deep.
(17:38):
So nothing you can do about it. You know, Jannis
plays the way he plays, and we need them to
continue to play that way. Dame probably out a season
this year where he never really get in the right
condition that he wanted because he didn't know where he
was going all summer, and so he couldn't work out.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
One thing after another thing after because you can't work
out unless you know what city you're gonna play in.
They don't have gyms. They don't allow you into the
gym unless you announce what city you're gonna be playing it.
They literally will ban you. They will ban you. It's
just so. It's like Doc Rivers walks into an NBA
(18:19):
locker room and it turns out to be a war
zone by the time he leaves. It's just so, so wonderful.
But I would have liked to have been a fly
on the wall wherever Adrian Griffin was. He can't say
anything publicly because he has a clause in his contract
not to besmirch the team that is still paying him
a ton of money. It's so great. I saw one
(18:42):
of the docs quotes. He says this all the time too.
He was asked about in wanting to win a championship
for the city of Milwaukee in the franchise, he said,
because it means more to me than I think you think,
he said, And then, when asked about his future with
the Bucks. Doc gave the time tested respect. He went
to his notes on his iPhone and he said, I'm
(19:03):
gonna do whatever I can for this franchise. I think
we can win, and I'm going to do everything I
can to create that because it means more to me
than you think. It's the same crap that he was serving,
repackaged with a different, different bow on top. He said
(19:23):
it with the clips. He said it almost verbatim when
they gagged against the Denver Nuggets in the bubble, and
he went to Philadelphia and said the same thing, the
same thing. Under Doc Rivers, the Milwaukee basketball team was
in the bottom half of the entire NBA and offensive rating,
(19:45):
defensive rating, net rating, an overall record. That's the Bucks.
That's the box under Doc Rivers. So enjoy enjoy it.
I hope the owner of the team enjoyed every single
one of those performances, because you deserve it. You served
up an absolute herd Burger, and you deserve it is
(20:09):
what you all right. Moving on from that, there is
a developing story, although it hasn't happened yet. We go
to Tinseltown. We are hearing the Lakers are expected to
purge Darvin Ham. That announcement likely to come down in
a Friday afternoon slash evening news dump behind a paywallt
the Old Gray Lady the Athletic. They say that the
(20:31):
decision has been made, that Darvin Ham is done. You're
better off as a Ham sandwich, and then the head
coaching search will will begin. Darvinham is being pull axed
from the Laker franchise. Did he get a raw deal?
Did Darvinham get a raw deal? So I'll go first here,
(20:52):
I'm shaking my head. No, you knew what you were
getting yourself into when you took the gig. It's a
tempt job that pays well. If you have a problem,
go back on Express Pros and they'll find you a
different job. But the Lakers have this tremendous amount of instability.
They are dysfunctional franchise, and nobody has the balls and
(21:14):
the media to talk about it because they all want
their clicks and they all want to curry favor with
the Lakers. But ever since Jerry Buss died, the Laker
franchise has been a laughing stock when it comes into stability.
Under Genie Buss, the person running the team, the Lakers
(21:35):
the last twelve years, they will be on their eighth coach.
They've had seven in the past twelve years. They'll be
on coach number eight. They've also missed the playoffs. If
my math is correct, seven out of the last twelve
years they missed the playoffs. They also got eliminated in
the first round. A couple of times they did make
the playoffs. The one thing that I will say, in
(21:57):
the context of did Darvinham get a raw deal? The
one sidebar to this is you got to think of
that old Lincoln Park song friendly Fire, because Darvin Ham
did take friendly fire. Anthony Davis threw him onto an
oncoming subway train during the Denver series. But ultimately it's
(22:20):
on Darvin Ham because the Laker players did not like him.
He lost the locker room, the front office. They don't
give a rats ask. He Ham handed the coaching job,
and Darvin was under fire for his lack of in
game adjustments, and if you go by coaches challenges and
all that, he was pants by the Nuggets coach mister Malone.
(22:42):
There absolutely pants. My final point, we heading out of
the injury report, and I've been told I must talk
about this. If not I will be called the fraud.
So here we go. What is your reaction? What is
your reaction to Kawhi Leonard being ruled out for the
next Clipper playoff game, which, oh by the way, is
tonight against Dallas. It's a winner, go home game. So
(23:05):
my reaction is shoulder shruck, right, this is a contagious situation.
We believe, I said this earlier in the show about
hollering James. We believe that everyone has a superpower. Now
it's possible that your superpower you can't monetize, it's not
worth anything. But everyone has a superpower. For Kawhi Leonard
with the Clippers, his superpower has been malingering. That has
(23:29):
been a superpower. If he was a soldier, he would
you would say he had gone a wall because that's
what he does. It's not a matter of if, it's
a matter of when, and a wall the military abbreviation
for absent without leave. That is Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi has
been injured the last three postseasons, all of his time
(23:54):
with the Clippers. He's been heard he's missed one hundred
and sixty one games since he joined the People's team.
And if this was another business and you got paid
that amount of money and you missed that much time,
you would be brought up on grand larceny charges. But
Kawhi Leonard, now he sits there with a dopey look
on his face on the bench while the team melts
(24:15):
in front of him. La la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la. Let
me go back to my casa in San Diego. That's
the thing. It wouldn't be any better if Kawhi actually
looked like he cared and Paul George looked like he
had any kind of anger, or God forbid, James Harden
did something other than playing his night out at the
(24:38):
ballet rather, you know, maybe show some effort, perseverance, things
like that. But Kawhi, it's just so silly with this
guy has pulled off. So yeah, I'm not surprised he's
not playing on the game here in the game Friday
night here tonight. But here's the thing. I still think
the Clippers are winning. They'll be a game seven. There'll
be a game seven over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Be sure to catch Liva So the Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Here we got to the third degree. This is one
big Ben gets grilled over to the Kooper loop. See
if he's motivated here, if he's like Kawhi and indifferent
for the third.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Degree, mostly indifferent. Travis kelce recently spoke about his record
breaking contract extension and said that he is happy to
be able to quote move the needle for the tight
end room.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Ben.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Do you think Kelsey's rising tide will raise all tight
end ships?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
No? And here's why it's a tremendous contract for Travis kelcey.
It's also a golden parachute. Right he started declining. I
realize he played well in the postseason, but he was
not sensational during the regular season. I know for some
people that's hard to fathom. But he's only getting older,
I think. I don't think he's getting younger unless he's
got some kind of weird science and he's getting the
(25:59):
money for two resin the chiefs are really good, and
he happens to be dating a rather famous woman that
has helped the entire NFL rise up. It's a unique situation.
He does rise the money up for all the NFL
tight ends, but it's his situation. Cannot be matched by anyone,
(26:19):
because you'd have to be dating the most famous musician
in the world, and right now she's dating him and
she probably will not date another football player when they
break up.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Next, speaking of the Chiefs, it's being reported that the
team expects a lengthy suspension for wide receiver where she
writes for his involvement in a high speed car crash.
They're expecting it to be at least half the season. Then,
do you expect the suspension to be that long?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, Roger Goodell's used kid gloves. He's given some guy's immunity.
Now this is on tape. There's no way around it.
The NFL is going to have to punish him because
they can't go too light. But eight is it eight
or nine games? Because you know seventeen game seasons, so
eight and a half games, there will be punishment. There
(27:05):
will be come up ince, but it will not be
half the season. I'm gonna go six games. I'm going
six games. Rashie Rice will be out and then you
look at what the Chiefs have done this offseason. By
the time he comes back, you look at a number
three or number four wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Next, with Tom Brady joining the broadcast booth comes anticipation
of him calling a game in Foxborough. However, Brady is
part of the number one team for Fox and the
Patriots don't figure to be very good. Do you think
they'll have Brady call a pants game this year?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yes, because they want ratings, and it'll be I'll tell
you how it's gonna work, Coop A. It'll be a weekend.
They don't have a Cowboy game because the Cowboys Fox wins.
The whoever has the Cowboys wins the ratings every week,
so it'll be if you do the arithmetic, they won't
have the Cowboys. It'll be a game where it's got
to be somewhat early in the year. I'll and the
schedule's not announced yet when the games are like, we
(27:56):
know who they're playing, but we do know know the dates.
It'll be early in the year against a semi good opponent,
and they'll hype it up Tom Brady returns to Foxborough
and they'll get people to watch for about five minutes
until the game is a blowout. There it is Mallard
of the third degree. How did we do? Then?
Speaker 5 (28:18):
You pass this edition?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Dah, look at that no bidness? I won I know
you prats yet you lose this I won.

All right, all right, let's get to the jokes, and
here we go. Well, why did Lizzo have to have
a bail of hay delivered to her home? That's not
the joke. The answer is because she became a vegan.

Oh okay, did you know this used? No?
Speaker 1 (41:51):
No, no, no, don't do any fake imaging. That's my imaging.

Speaker 5 (41:58):
No, I did not know this an old TV show
from the eighties, Lee Majors, The six Million Dollar Man.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I'll played the title character, doing the show for ninety
year olds. Come on, I got yes, we are for
some people.
Speaker 5 (42:11):
Fun fact, yes.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
That is that's not funny.
Speaker 5 (42:15):
Was a great fun fact.
Speaker 1 (42:15):
Everyone's like, who's that? I gotta go to google that guy.
Speaker 5 (42:20):
All right. Moving over to television, we have a lot
of stuff on TV this weekend. First thing that I
want to point out is a documentary on Hulu. It
is available right now. It is called The Contestant, and
it is a documentary feature that re examines the often
told story which I have not heard of. It's been
(42:41):
told often, apparently of Tomoaki Hamamatsu.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Sure about that? Yep? Okay.
Speaker 5 (42:49):
He was given a starring role on a Japanese reality
show without his knowledge that left him naked and alone
in a room for months, forced to obtain all of
his food and clothing and appliances by entering multiple sweepstakes.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Wowah, beminds me, Well, it's not it's more extreme. Remember
that the jury show where the one guy didn't realize
he was on a TV show? Remember that the reality show?
No you didn't watch that one?
Speaker 6 (43:11):
No?
Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, I forget what cha But everyone on the jury
they did a whole mock trial.
Speaker 5 (43:17):
Oh oh, yes, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
One of the guys wasn't actually aware that he was
on a TV show.
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Right, Yeah, yeah, I know, I know what you're talking about.
Somebody suggested that to me. Was also available right now,
by the way, That is on Hulu, available right now.
The Contestant, that's what it's called, got good reviews. Also
available right now on Max is the third season of
the comedy Hacks. I have watched the first two seasons.
It is a fantastic show. Stars Jean Smart and Hannah
(43:45):
Einbeinder And uh yeah that is You've got Christopher Lloyd,
Helen Hunt, George Wallace, Christina Hendrix, they're all making guest
appearances in this season. That is on Max. Then we
move over to Prime Video for the ladies listening. This
(44:06):
is a Yeah, this is a romance movie.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
What about Kathy and Madison? She's listening to.
Speaker 5 (44:12):
Yeah, Kathy and Madison, all the other ladies. This is
a romance starring Anne Hathaway as a fort I love
her as a forty year old divorced single mother who
begins a whirlwind romance with the lead singer of a
popular boy band after a chance encounter with him at Coachella.
(44:32):
Oh yeah, so that is on Amazon Prime. And then
I want to bring this one up and before I
run out of time here. It's got bad reviews, but
I'm still very interested. I'm gonna check it out. It's
called Unfrosted, all right, and it is a movie that
is available right now on Netflix. It is the directorial
(44:53):
debut of Jerry Seinfeld. Oh it is a comedy.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
But what he did interviews for this and he said,
no one watches movies anymore or something.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Well, so yeah it is. It is a comedic look
back at the real life race between rival Breakfast Cereal
companies to create a toaster pastry in the early nineteen sixties.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Oh, this sounds I might write reel house.
Speaker 5 (45:17):
What's the name of it unfrosted.
Speaker 1 (45:19):
What channels it on?
Speaker 5 (45:20):
It is on Netflix? Wait, what about's dad? This is
about pop tarts?
Speaker 1 (45:24):
No pop tarts. I did a whole episode of my
podcast on poptists. You know, pop tarts were originally like
the technologies for dogs what became pop I'm not making
that up.
Speaker 5 (45:33):
I did not know that, but yeah, this is this
is basically a comedic spin on a pot pop tarts
origin story.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
Original pop tarts did not have frosting. About that.
Speaker 5 (45:43):
Yeah, that's why it's called doun frosted. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
So.
Speaker 5 (45:46):
Seinfeld also writes and stars in a loaded cast that
includes Melissa McCarthy, Hugh Grant, James Marsden, Rachel Harris, Christian Slater,
Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, Fred Armisen, Bill Burr, Jack McBriar.
So loaded cast, but it's got like a forty nine
on Metacritic, But I'll check it out anyway because it
(46:07):
sounds weird.
Speaker 1 (46:08):
Very Seinfeld calls you up. If you're a comedian, you
got to answer the
Speaker 5 (46:11):
Call, right, Yeah, exactly, Seinfeld, And that is coop scoop

tyrack dot com the way tire buying should be. And
we are back at it again in the salt mine
(01:43):
of talk and our lead this hour from the Delaware
Valley where there will be no more pro bouncy ball
until next season. Because the Sixers, they were trying to
stay alive, trying to stay alive and force a Game
seven against the Knickerbockers. But I wanted to do that.
I'm told they had to win game six. I didn't
play in the NBA, so I don't know that for sure.
(02:04):
But Josh Hart, you gotta have heart. He's the guy
that screwed up the last game. He missed a foul
shot late that helped facilitate the Philadelphia win with Josh Shart.
In this game, he hit the go ahead three pointer,
the moneyball top of the arc with twenty four point
four seconds left. That was enough to slay the Dragons,
(02:26):
send New York past Philly and into the second round.
But the headliner here Jalen Brunson forty one points twelve assists.
The Partriers in the Pear Tree led the Knicks, who
are now in the semi finals. They match up with Indiana,
who got rid of the Milwaukee basketball team game one
(02:48):
in that series. Will be Monday night in Gotham. The
better story, though, is in Philly the loser's locker room,
So that's where we will go. Let us discuss the
question who who gets the blame? Who gets the blame?
Cheese steak? For coach Nick Nurse's seventy six ers, it
was supposed to be different. It wasn't supposed to have
(03:10):
this kind of ending with the changes the Sixers made.
I've got Wimbledon, Betty Crocker, and wrenches, and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
to drive a hard bargain, is what we're going to do.
So a normally these things are rather simple. You dish
(03:33):
out the blame paint by numbers. Doesn't take a lot
of effort. This is not that deep. We just hang
out on the surface. But the Knicks in this game,
it's a little more complicated because the Knicks came out
and delivered. If you were watching the first quarter, they
delivered an early haymaker. They went blitzkreek early on. They
led by twenty two points. It was thirty three to
(03:53):
eleven about ten minutes into the game, thirty three to eleven.
So Philly then had to move mountains to get back
the thin, which they did. Was tied at ninety five
six forty five to go in the game, Joel Enbiid
and Tyrese Maxi. They were good down the stretch, but
not great down the stretch, and Bead fouled out in
(04:14):
the final minute. Overall, though people say, well, yeah, you're
gonna gonna blame this guy, that guy. You can't blame
the Headliners. It's not their fault. Popular punching bag, popular
pick by popular people to criticize is a certain small
forward for the Sixers who did not do anything of
note in the box score. But for me, if you're
(04:37):
assigning the blames, the blame cheese steak overall, ty Resee
Maxi gets the super sized blame HOGI. I give it
to him. And here's why the basketball media told me
and they told you as well, that the playoff series
for the Sixers against the Knicks was Maxie's bar mitzvah.
(04:59):
He was becoming a man in a headliner and a
superstar and all that. And yet in this game, and
maybe my TV was broken, I don't know, possibly, but
it seemed like for three quarters Maxi was like a
tennis player at Wimbledon, lot of unforced errors. Going into
the fourth quarter, he had taken ten field goal attempts,
(05:21):
he had two made field goals. He was two for
ten with five points over thirty six minutes of play.
And I thought he was an all encompassing type of
suck for the first part of that game, and then
in the fourth quarter he did have a nice finish.
(05:41):
But here we go Johnny as in Johnny Fun spoiler,
not quite there, not quite there? Now page two? What
does this win do for Jalen Brunson's career with the Knicks. Now,
you say it's only the first round of the playoffs,
you know who cares. You can't really get that excited
(06:02):
about the first round. But this is New York. They
get excited about everything. And I think of it like
Betty Crocker. You're baking a cake, and this is another
layer of the myth making cake. Once upon a time
there was a god named Jalen Brunson who was extraordinary,
exceptional and eye popping in playoff games. Oh hoops, pioneer.
(06:22):
He's not Johnny Fun spoiler, He's Johnny Appleseed of the Mecca.
And Jalen Brunson has been everything that Carmelo Anthony was
supposed to be back in the day but was not.
That is what Jalen Brunson has been. We were wrong
about Jalen Brunson and he continues to be a player
(06:44):
that does not. And he wasn't great the last game
in key moments, but overall, you're graded for your overall
body of work, and he was pretty good. Now the
last word here we head to Indy. Now, we're not
going to do a deep dive yet on the game.
We'll do that another hour, but we're gonna talk about
the story that everyone's talking about, not the game itself. Okay,
(07:04):
we'll get back to the actual game later. And trust me,
Doc Rivers is on the show Rundown. He's the punching bag.
The Doc Rivers punching bag will be up and we
will be boxing, will be sparring with the Doc Rivers
punching bag. But it's not about Doc Rivers. It's about
another person from my talk show career, someone we've talked
(07:27):
about a lot over the years, who had a want
to get away mall mate. At the end of this game,
Patrick Beverly. Patrick Beverley stole the headlines after he violently
tossed the ball enraged at some Pacer fans as the
Bucks were being excommunicated from the playoffs. The fans were rejoicing.
(07:52):
No da da da da da, Hey, hey good bye,
just like that. So there's two thirty two to go games.
Lopsided garbage time situation. Patrick Beverley threw a basketball at
a Pacer fan, which I'm told is taboo. But he
didn't do it just once. He threw it into the
crowd twice and at least one fan was hit in
(08:16):
the head. Who goofed? I've got to know. Now, As
Brook Lopez high fived his teammates, Patrick Beverly was caught
on candid camera throwing the basketball for the first time
at one fan, hitting them on the side of the head.
Now here's where it gets even crazier. So he then
(08:37):
asked for the ball back from a different fan, and
the fan gave him the ball back. And what do
you think Beverly did? Beverley said, Okay, we got this.
So Beverly gets his hands on the ball again, and
of course he threw it right back at the Indiana Patriot.
So how do you unscramble this Bucks guard? Patrick Beverly's
(09:00):
temper tantrum in this situation. Now we don't know the
whole story. We don't imagine he'll save it for his podcast,
and maybe this was just an effort to get people
to listen to his podcast. But as you know, we
on this show, we are glue guy Zelots. That said,
(09:23):
in this case, we're gonna pump the brakes because Beverly
needs some tough love. That's knucklehead activity. You are a
dre BRONI your mama Luke when you do that. And
I don't know about you, maybe you're different than me,
But when I was in kindergarten as a little boy,
I learned to keep your hands to yourself right and
(09:43):
your balls to yourself right. There's a level of stupidity
here that goes up, up and away it does. And
in public service announcement, we do a lot of those.
On the overnight public service announcement for fans in the future.
Engaging with Patrick Beverly, he played we all know that
follow the wisdom of Patches o'hallahan from Dodgeball, go out
(10:07):
and get some wrenches. If you can dodge a wrench,
you can dodge a basketball. You can't and actions have consequences.
We know Beverly is going to face the repercussions with
Big Brother because the NBA is going to get sued
up the wazoo, so there'll be a suspension. Right now,
there are ambulance chasing billboard lawyers that are trying to
(10:29):
find the number of the fans that were hit with
the basketballs. Those fans, by the time they get done
with these lawyers will have neck braces on. They'll be saying, oh,
my neck, my back, my neck, my back. Can you say,
jack Pot, I knew you could. I knew you could.
Nowhere does it say on the NBA ticket that you
(10:53):
are allowed or you should look out for a basketball
being thrown by a player who's out of the game
hitting you in the chin or the side of the face.
I don't think that's gonna be tough sledding for Patrick
Beverley and for the NBA lawyers. So good luck. At
least it's different, right, It's not the same crap ol,
(11:15):
but a different day. This is not something that we
get every single day of the week.

all Game seven. I assume you know what happened by now,
but maybe you want the details. You might not have
watched and heard so someone named Obi Toppin We're told
that's a basketball player. He scored twenty one points. A
guy that looks like he'd be playing at the local YMCA.
TJ McConnell had twenty points in nine assists, and the
(13:43):
Indiana basketball team had a laugher over the Milwaukee basketball team.
As the Pacers are into the Eastern Conference semifinals for
the first time in a decade. Every ten years like clockwork,
and we will have plenty of time to give Indy
its flowers. They'll play the Knickerbockers. That series will begin
(14:04):
on Monday. Nicks eliminated Philadelphia. But for our purposes now,
the better and bigger story is in the loser's locker room.
So let us discuss and the most interesting man in
all of Wisconsin. We start with him. Where do the
Bucks go from here? With the good doctor Doc Rivers?
(14:25):
Where do they go from here with Glenn Rivers? So
I've got the Navy, Lincoln Park, and superpower, and we
will combine all of these things together, and we are
going to make an air fryer because we're gonna airfry
some people right now. Number W Let me just get
(14:49):
this out of the way. Doc Rivers is a prolific
carpet bagger period stop. Okay, that's doctors. He's a shyster,
he's a sweet talker, he's overly charismatic. We all know
people like Doc Rivers. He's a used car salesman and
the Bucks should have never hired this guy in the
first place. But he's the milk of human kindness, Doc Rivers.
(15:13):
Even though you had the top record of these, Adrian Griffin,
a boob, got to bring in Doc Rivers. Doc Rivers,
at this point, if You're Milwaukee should be treated like
a Navy ship that's been on the oceans for many,
many years. He should be decommissioned. Rivers has become over
his time in the NBA a Rhodes scholar at excuses
(15:36):
and concession speeches. And I laughed when I heard what
he had to say after the game, because it's the
same crap that he was serving when he coached the Clippers.
It's the same nonsense he had in Philadelphia. He's got
this file. I'm convinced of it. Doc Rivers has a
file on his phone and he just types a couple
(15:57):
of words in. He's like, Okay, I'll repeat the same thing.
I'll do change a few names around, and while everyone
sinks into depression. That's that. Now we maintain. The twenty
eight Celtics with Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce won the
most improbable pro bouncy ball championship. Wasn't the Pistons when
they beat Shaq and Kobe and all those guys in
(16:20):
the in the NBA Finals. Now it was not that.
The most improbable NBA championship is the eight Boston Celtics.
They won overcoming medical malpractice at least coaching malpractice in
Doc Rivers. And I know the media apologists out there,
they'll play the injury card is not his fault. He's
(16:40):
not a real doctor. They'll play that from the bottom
of the deck. And to that, we say fuey, We
say fooey. Dame Lillard, all right, Dame Lillard missed a
couple of games. He didn't miss all the games, and
you won. You won one of the games. He didn't
even play it. So if you own the Milwaukee Bucks,
(17:01):
what you should be doing is sending Doc Rivers back
to the boob too. But here's a little taste of
Doc Rivers. And he talked about the mindset winning and
all of that, and let's take a list.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Winning is incredibly hard. It takes twelve to fifteen players
turning themselves into one and buying in your staff being
together as one, and then health, and then you still
may not win. You know, it's just hard, and you're
not gonna win unless you're healthy or unless you're really deep.
(17:38):
So nothing you can do about it. You know, Jannis
plays the way he plays, and we need them to
continue to play that way. Dame probably out a season
this year where he never really get in the right
condition that he wanted because he didn't know where he
was going all summer, and so he couldn't work out.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
One thing after another thing after because you can't work
out unless you know what city you're gonna play in.
They don't have gyms. They don't allow you into the
gym unless you announce what city you're gonna be playing it.
They literally will ban you. They will ban you. It's
just so. It's like Doc Rivers walks into an NBA
(18:19):
locker room and it turns out to be a war
zone by the time he leaves. It's just so, so wonderful.
But I would have liked to have been a fly
on the wall wherever Adrian Griffin was. He can't say
anything publicly because he has a clause in his contract
not to besmirch the team that is still paying him
a ton of money. It's so great. I saw one
(18:42):
of the docs quotes. He says this all the time too.
He was asked about in wanting to win a championship
for the city of Milwaukee in the franchise, he said,
because it means more to me than I think you think,
he said, And then, when asked about his future with
the Bucks. Doc gave the time tested respect. He went
to his notes on his iPhone and he said, I'm
(19:03):
gonna do whatever I can for this franchise. I think
we can win, and I'm going to do everything I
can to create that because it means more to me
than you think. It's the same crap that he was serving,
repackaged with a different, different bow on top. He said
(19:23):
it with the clips. He said it almost verbatim when
they gagged against the Denver Nuggets in the bubble, and
he went to Philadelphia and said the same thing, the
same thing. Under Doc Rivers, the Milwaukee basketball team was
in the bottom half of the entire NBA and offensive rating,
(19:45):
defensive rating, net rating, an overall record. That's the Bucks.
That's the box under Doc Rivers. So enjoy enjoy it.
I hope the owner of the team enjoyed every single
one of those performances, because you deserve it. You served
up an absolute herd Burger, and you deserve it is
(20:09):
what you all right. Moving on from that, there is
a developing story, although it hasn't happened yet. We go
to Tinseltown. We are hearing the Lakers are expected to
purge Darvin Ham. That announcement likely to come down in
a Friday afternoon slash evening news dump behind a paywallt
the Old Gray Lady the Athletic. They say that the
(20:31):
decision has been made, that Darvin Ham is done. You're
better off as a Ham sandwich, and then the head
coaching search will will begin. Darvinham is being pull axed
from the Laker franchise. Did he get a raw deal?
Did Darvinham get a raw deal? So I'll go first here,
(20:52):
I'm shaking my head. No, you knew what you were
getting yourself into when you took the gig. It's a
tempt job that pays well. If you have a problem,
go back on Express Pros and they'll find you a
different job. But the Lakers have this tremendous amount of instability.
They are dysfunctional franchise, and nobody has the balls and
(21:14):
the media to talk about it because they all want
their clicks and they all want to curry favor with
the Lakers. But ever since Jerry Buss died, the Laker
franchise has been a laughing stock when it comes into stability.
Under Genie Buss, the person running the team, the Lakers
(21:35):
the last twelve years, they will be on their eighth coach.
They've had seven in the past twelve years. They'll be
on coach number eight. They've also missed the playoffs. If
my math is correct, seven out of the last twelve
years they missed the playoffs. They also got eliminated in
the first round. A couple of times they did make
the playoffs. The one thing that I will say, in
(21:57):
the context of did Darvinham get a raw deal? The
one sidebar to this is you got to think of
that old Lincoln Park song friendly Fire, because Darvin Ham
did take friendly fire. Anthony Davis threw him onto an
oncoming subway train during the Denver series. But ultimately it's
(22:20):
on Darvin Ham because the Laker players did not like him.
He lost the locker room, the front office. They don't
give a rats ask. He Ham handed the coaching job,
and Darvin was under fire for his lack of in
game adjustments, and if you go by coaches challenges and
all that, he was pants by the Nuggets coach mister Malone.
(22:42):
There absolutely pants. My final point, we heading out of
the injury report, and I've been told I must talk
about this. If not I will be called the fraud.
So here we go. What is your reaction? What is
your reaction to Kawhi Leonard being ruled out for the
next Clipper playoff game, which, oh by the way, is
tonight against Dallas. It's a winner, go home game. So
(23:05):
my reaction is shoulder shruck, right, this is a contagious situation.
We believe, I said this earlier in the show about
hollering James. We believe that everyone has a superpower. Now
it's possible that your superpower you can't monetize, it's not
worth anything. But everyone has a superpower. For Kawhi Leonard
with the Clippers, his superpower has been malingering. That has
(23:29):
been a superpower. If he was a soldier, he would
you would say he had gone a wall because that's
what he does. It's not a matter of if, it's
a matter of when, and a wall the military abbreviation
for absent without leave. That is Kawhi Leonard. Kawhi has
been injured the last three postseasons, all of his time
(23:54):
with the Clippers. He's been heard he's missed one hundred
and sixty one games since he joined the People's team.
And if this was another business and you got paid
that amount of money and you missed that much time,
you would be brought up on grand larceny charges. But
Kawhi Leonard, now he sits there with a dopey look
on his face on the bench while the team melts
(24:15):
in front of him. La la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la. Let
me go back to my casa in San Diego. That's
the thing. It wouldn't be any better if Kawhi actually
looked like he cared and Paul George looked like he
had any kind of anger, or God forbid, James Harden
did something other than playing his night out at the
(24:38):
ballet rather, you know, maybe show some effort, perseverance, things
like that. But Kawhi, it's just so silly with this
guy has pulled off. So yeah, I'm not surprised he's
not playing on the game here in the game Friday
night here tonight. But here's the thing. I still think
the Clippers are winning. They'll be a game seven. There'll
be a game seven over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Be sure to catch Liva So the Ben Maller Show
weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Here we got to the third degree. This is one
big Ben gets grilled over to the Kooper loop. See
if he's motivated here, if he's like Kawhi and indifferent
for the third.
Speaker 5 (25:21):
Degree, mostly indifferent. Travis kelce recently spoke about his record
breaking contract extension and said that he is happy to
be able to quote move the needle for the tight
end room.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Ben.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Do you think Kelsey's rising tide will raise all tight
end ships?
Speaker 1 (25:37):
No? And here's why it's a tremendous contract for Travis kelcey.
It's also a golden parachute. Right he started declining. I
realize he played well in the postseason, but he was
not sensational during the regular season. I know for some
people that's hard to fathom. But he's only getting older,
I think. I don't think he's getting younger unless he's
got some kind of weird science and he's getting the
(25:59):
money for two resin the chiefs are really good, and
he happens to be dating a rather famous woman that
has helped the entire NFL rise up. It's a unique situation.
He does rise the money up for all the NFL
tight ends, but it's his situation. Cannot be matched by anyone,
(26:19):
because you'd have to be dating the most famous musician
in the world, and right now she's dating him and
she probably will not date another football player when they
break up.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
Next, speaking of the Chiefs, it's being reported that the
team expects a lengthy suspension for wide receiver where she
writes for his involvement in a high speed car crash.
They're expecting it to be at least half the season. Then,
do you expect the suspension to be that long?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
No, Roger Goodell's used kid gloves. He's given some guy's immunity.
Now this is on tape. There's no way around it.
The NFL is going to have to punish him because
they can't go too light. But eight is it eight
or nine games? Because you know seventeen game seasons, so
eight and a half games, there will be punishment. There
(27:05):
will be come up ince, but it will not be
half the season. I'm gonna go six games. I'm going
six games. Rashie Rice will be out and then you
look at what the Chiefs have done this offseason. By
the time he comes back, you look at a number
three or number four wide receiver.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
Next, with Tom Brady joining the broadcast booth comes anticipation
of him calling a game in Foxborough. However, Brady is
part of the number one team for Fox and the
Patriots don't figure to be very good. Do you think
they'll have Brady call a pants game this year?
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Yes, because they want ratings, and it'll be I'll tell
you how it's gonna work, Coop A. It'll be a weekend.
They don't have a Cowboy game because the Cowboys Fox wins.
The whoever has the Cowboys wins the ratings every week,
so it'll be if you do the arithmetic, they won't
have the Cowboys. It'll be a game where it's got
to be somewhat early in the year. I'll and the
schedule's not announced yet when the games are like, we
(27:56):
know who they're playing, but we do know know the dates.
It'll be early in the year against a semi good opponent,
and they'll hype it up Tom Brady returns to Foxborough
and they'll get people to watch for about five minutes
until the game is a blowout. There it is Mallard
of the third degree. How did we do? Then?
Speaker 5 (28:18):
You pass this edition?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Dah, look at that no bidness? I won I know
you prats yet you lose this I won.

Thank you, Dennis. What did members of the fitness center
(30:42):
say when Lizzo told them she might be joining?
Speaker 5 (30:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:46):
What they said, fat chance is what they said. That's Mike,
Mike in Promidence. Yeah, what did God do on the
first day of creation? He said, let there be light
and then pushed Lizzo out of the way. That's from
Donnie in g R Donnie, who's got more oil than
(31:13):
Saudi Arabia? I don't know Lizzo's skin. No, No, Austin
set that one in. Thank you, Noah. What's what's a
worse idea than hiring Doc Rivers to coach your team
in the playoffs? Hiring Lizzo to drive your ice cream truck?
(31:36):
That's a fake laugh. You didn't like that, weed Man,

of stuff on TV this weekend. First thing that I
want to point out is a documentary on Hulu. It
is available right now. It is called The Contestant, and
it is a documentary feature that re examines the often
told story which I have not heard of. It's been
(42:41):
told often, apparently of Tomoaki Hamamatsu.

show without his knowledge that left him naked and alone
in a room for months, forced to obtain all of
his food and clothing and appliances by entering multiple sweepstakes.
Speaker 1 (43:02):
Wowah, beminds me, Well, it's not it's more extreme. Remember
that the jury show where the one guy didn't realize
he was on a TV show? Remember that the reality show?

Speaker 6 (43:11):

Speaker 1 (43:13):
Yeah, I forget what cha But everyone on the jury
they did a whole mock trial.
Speaker 5 (43:17):

Speaker 1 (43:19):
One of the guys wasn't actually aware that he was
on a TV show.

popular boy band after a chance encounter with him at Coachella.

Oh yeah, so that is on Amazon Prime. And then
I want to bring this one up and before I
run out of time here. It's got bad reviews, but
I'm still very interested. I'm gonna check it out. It's
called Unfrosted, all right, and it is a movie that
is available right now on Netflix. It is the directorial
(44:53):
debut of Jerry Seinfeld. Oh it is a comedy.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
But what he did interviews for this and he said,
no one watches movies anymore or something.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Well, so yeah it is. It is a comedic look
back at the real life race between rival Breakfast Cereal
companies to create a toaster pastry in the early nineteen sixties.

podcast on poptists. You know, pop tarts were originally like
the technologies for dogs what became pop I'm not making
that up.

is basically a comedic spin on a pot pop tarts
origin story.
