Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):

don't want more information.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's on all our social media channels Instagram, Ben Mahler
on Fox, the Facebook page Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Here in our one we talk about the Eastern Conference
Finals Game number one? How'd that go? I'm pretty good
if you're a Miami fan.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
As the Heat get the jump on the Celtics, and
who gets the biggest slice of the Boston blame cream
pie for the Seas, who got run off the court
in the third quarter? And what was the game changing
moment if there was one in game number one? And
was this victory in Boston a testimonial to the Heat culture?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Say what, We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Here it is our number one, cranking up the Heat.
Wel come in the beginning of another edition of the
Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere in
partnership as our fresh takes are right out of the water.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
They are, I'm telling you coast to coast, border, the.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Border and beyond on the mast and definitely powerful microphones
of FSR and binnating live from the puff the creampuff
of the Overnight, kind of like the Celtics in the
third quarter an ice creampuff. We are broadcasting live from

Tyro rack dot com the way tire buying. Shoot me
and our lead to begin the flight on the Red
Eye Overnight. Here comes from pro Bouncy Ball. It is
(02:18):
the time of the year, the month of May, and
we talk a lot of playoff basketball Eastern Conference Final, Boston.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The scene Game one. You check this out.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Jimmy Buckets in the upstart heat, surviving the playing tournament,
knocking out the box, taking down the Knicks. Now trying
to stop Jason Tatum and the Celtics in Game one,
Boston riding high. Everyone across the NBA media has taken
turns smoaching the dry air of Jason Tatum and what
(02:49):
would he do for a follower? So if he didn't
see the game, you did not miss a classic. This
was not a classic. The Celtics but pretty well in
the first they had a double digit lead, and then
they had to play the rest of the game, Jimmy
Butler scoring twelve of his thirty five points during a
third quarter title wave. As Miami, they win, dominating the
(03:15):
second half, they never trailed in the fourth quarter of
the game. They win by seven in the lidlifters. So
the Heat get home court advantage just like that, presto.
And so now the Celtics will have to win at
least the game, at least a game in South Florida,
and Miami three wins away from going to the NBA
Finals again. But the better story is in the losing
(03:39):
locker room. That's where the drama is, That's where the emotion,
the raw emotion resides. And I know this firsthand. Did
I play in the NBA. No, but I did spend
a lot of time early in my career in locker rooms.
And I recall the team that won had the tunes blasting,
and the team that lost it was like you were
(04:00):
hanging out at a morgue.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So the question here, who gets the biggest slice of
the Boston Blame cream pie. It's a special special item.
Not most people have that many most people don't have that,
but we have it here. Who gets the biggest slice
of the Boston Blame cream Pie.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So I've got.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Alpha Charlie, Ron Burgundy, and Yogiism, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a nice migraine, which is what the Celtics. You
would think they would have a migraine after this performance
in the third quarter. So we'll we'll put all of
(04:40):
these things together. So A I immediately point the finger
at Jason Tatum, and the Tatum giveth and the Tatum
taketh away.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I think I read that in a a scripture back
in the day.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But anyway, listen, Jason Tatum had his coming out party.
I thought they were in the NBA F Finals last year, Boston,
but based on the NBA media reaction, Jason Tatum the
fourth quarter in Game six in Philly, when he was
horrific for the first three quarters and then the game
seven fifty one point spot that he put up against
Doc Rivers, Jason Tatum and the Sixers. Well, now he's arrived.
(05:19):
He's like a dog marking his territory and he's he's here,
and now just watch him go. And so what did
Jason Tatum do? He followed that up with I would
call this a crawl under a rock situation. Now, let
me point out this is an unpopular opinion, much like
(05:40):
we talked about in the Western Conference Finals Game one,
where Anthony Davis had all these points and ten rebounds
in his forty ten game and it was like, oh,
it was great. Well, no, he got outplayed by badly
outplayed by the opposing team's center in NICOLEA. Jokic's the joke.
It was such a joking perform it was ridiculous. But
(06:02):
you know, the low information observers like, oh, Anthony Davis
was great, and the same thing's happening here. It's like, well,
if you just read the box score, what's what's to
complain about? Are you just being you're you're being blowhart
Benny criticizing Tatum. Well, Tatum did have thirty points in
seven rebounds, However, however, what more do you expect him
(06:23):
to do?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's the argument. The answer is a lot more. Jason
Tatum just called himself one of the best players in
the world last week, which is a douche canoe move
to make. When you do that, he does have a
nice resume. There are a lot of blind spots, and
all those blind spots vanish over the course of time.
You don't remember the bad stuff, you remember the good stuff.
(06:46):
That's normally how that works. But this was an also
inducing performance, even with thirty points and seven rebounds, and Tatum,
you gotta you gotta do better, you gotta be better.
This is a Alpha Charlie type performance where you need
a chewing out, you need your yourself ripped apart by somebody.
I don't know who's going to be the person to
(07:07):
do it, but forget Alpha Charlie, how about Charlie Manson.
This was a helter skelter type of playoff for Tatum,
and it is appropriate that he is the face of
the Ruffle brand of potato chips because Jason Tatum, you
know how those Ruffles, they got a lot of folds
and the potato chip that's their secret. They got the fold. Well,
Jason Tatum's got a lot of folds.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They're like up and down and up and down, and
up and down and up and down, just like a
Ruffles potato chip. It's appropriate that he's on the face
of the potato chip.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now, Tatum the main argument, there's two main arguments with Tatum.
He did not forcefully demand the ball in the fourth quarter.
He had six points, but all of them from the
foul line. And there was that stretch ninety seconds of hell,
three consecutive times down for the Celtics, turnover, turnover, turnover,
(07:59):
all to hand of Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
He had two of them on traveling calls.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know how blatant, how blatant you have to run
with the ball to get called for traveling if you're
a star player in the NBA. But all of that
happened in ninety seconds or so. He dragged his pivot foot.
He's an obvious call, an obvious call, no field goal attempts,
and so it's one of those things. It's like the
(08:24):
classic lyrics from the Beastie Boys back in the day, Right,
you got to fight for the right to party with
the ball.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You gotta fight for the ball. What are you doing
being a decoy? All right now? Page two here?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
What was the game changing moment in game number one?
If there is such a thing? The heat never trailed
in the fourth quarter, But much like Game one of
the Western Finals, where the game was decided in the
first half by the Nuggets, in this game, nothing has
changed more in my lifetime than halftime adjustments, unless that
(08:57):
is just bs that sportscast say. And the Celtics, I
think I wasn't there, and I don't think you were
there either, But as far as I'm concerned, they passed
out at halftime horse tranquilizers, and right there at the
midpoint of the game, Joe Missoula did it right?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Let him play? Joe returned.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If you thought let him play Joe was gone, you
are wrong, because my man, Joe Missoula, this was an
all time classic performance.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't think coaches matter.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
All that much, but you gotta at least try, You
gotta at least put some effort in so as Miami
is running circles around Boston. They put up almost fifty
points in the third quarter. They shot sixty five percent
from the floor. They shot even better from three point range.
Dominating inside, outside, rebounds, hustle plays, you name it. So
(09:53):
what was Boston doing on the other side, what did
the coaching staff do?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Let him play. Joe stood there like a signed by the.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Side of the road and everything went by him right.
Never called the time out. That is malfeasance, He's what
dad is. That's coaching malfeasans. You at least have to
put a little effort in what are you doing? Like
you might as well buy a ticket like I'm pretty
sure the people sitting behind you in the front row
there at the garden could have also stood up and
(10:23):
put their hands on their on their knees and watched
the team crumble. What a juxtaposition too, because Eric Spolstra,
who is a traditionalist when it comes to coaching, and
the evidence on that at this I don't know. It
was the very beginning. It was early in the fourth quarter.
The Celtics came out, they had a little bit of
a spurt, a little bit of a blast. They closed
(10:46):
the deficit. It was like a seven nothing run if
I remember correctly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And so what did Miami do? Time out? Tipe out,
type out, tipe out?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, they went paint by numbers Eric Spolstra, and they
immediately called the time out. Now it worked out, Miami
won the game. And it wasn't just one guy in
the third quarter. Everyone Max Struse outscored Jalen Brown and
Jason Tatum combined in the third quarter. He had thirteen
points in the quarter, outscored Jimmy Butler as well, and
(11:19):
five of eight Tatum and Brown combined for eleven points
in the third quarter. Our last word here, so was
this victory in Boston by the heat because of the
heat culture? Now I need to address this, So I
would like to have an emergency meeting here among the
(11:39):
male Eblis.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
The answer to the question is no. But let me
explain why this has become a pet peeve of mine. Right,
Miami didn't win this game because of heat culture. They
played better than Boston in the third quarter. That's all
they had to do.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The Celtics outscored the Heat in every other corner, every
other quart or advantage Boston. But it's you're judged by
the full game. And in the third quarter the heat
vaporized the seas. It was like a cloud burst of
offense rebounds. It was they were playing at a different
speed just like in the Western Finals when Denver played
at a different speed than the Lakers in Game number
(12:18):
one of that series. But by every measurable statistic we have,
by the eyeball test, by the ear drum test, if
you don't have eyes, you dominated in the paint. He
scored second chance points, fast break points, and all that.
But as far as the heat culture, right, I love
Jimmy Butler, but if this continues, I'm gonna turn on
(12:39):
Jimmy Butler. The guy plays with gumpchin moxie.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I love that. I've always been a fan.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
If you've listened to show over the years, Butler's been
all over the place. He's a basketball hobo, and I've
always been a supporter of his because I appreciate that
and he's he's different than just about everyone else in
that in that particular business. But that's all of the
slobbering that I have seen by the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Media heat culture. You know what it does.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It makes me want to puke into a bucket, is
what it does. I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's like a modern day yogism. Shout out, Yogi bear.
It's too popular now. Nobody likes it anymore. Stop now
you're making me load. The term heat culture overexposed.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Calm down.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The Heat play hard, wonderful, right, But the reason again
that they are winning is not because.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
They play hard. It's because Jimmy Buckets is really really good.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And he's been better most of these games than Giannis
adent Tokumbo. He was as good or better than Jalen
Brunson in the in the previous series, and now he's
out played Jason Tatum in Game one of the Eastern
Conference Finals. But I will Garren Effin to you, if
you take Jimmy Butler off that roster and you put
some random guy and you indoctrinate him in the heat culture,
(14:03):
but he's not as good as Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You're not winning. You're not winning squat.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
So the Heat success, what it really is, is an indictment.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And that's the thing people understand. They're so two surround basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The Heat succeeding with this approach is an indictment of
the entire business model all of these other NBA teams
almost there's a few guys Damian Lillard, a few other
guys that play hard all the time, But the Heat
have gained notoriety, and the term heat culture has become
a popular term simply by showing perseverance.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Think about that for a second. Think about what that means,
that this is something that people are in awe of
the way the Miami Heat play because it's so foreign
to every other team that dabbles in the ancient art
of load management and taking nights off and resting and
not playing.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's fascinating, right, What is that about? In a league
where almost everyone phones it in? Right, they phone it in.
You're seen as some kind of innovator, some kind of
modern day Einstein, a great predictor of future things when
it's insane, all by hammering away wild to me. It's
(15:23):
absolutely wild to me. All right, is the band Mather show.
Let's get a little postgame flavor for you from the
Celtics and let them play Joe Joe Missoula, God forbid,
you call a time out when things are going sideways.
At least pretend like you're trying anyway. Here is Joe
Missoula pointing out the positive. There's a silver lining.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
For the Celtics. And as Warner Wolf used to say,
let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You know we won three out of the four quarters,
got away from who we are in the third quarter,
whether it's home or away, it's the details, it's the margins,
it's the little things. We've shown we can do it
both home in a way, and I don't think that
matters as much as what our mindset is during certain stretches.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
The Celtics have been. The Celtics have been a terrible
home team. They have been the last couple of years.
They don't have no advanced like, they don't even pretend like.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They have any advantage.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's it's why you think of the old days and
my my, my childhood thinking of the old Boston Garden
watching Celtic games, and I always thought there was like
a moat.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Around the Boston Garden. And I remember hearing stories.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It's through the eyes of a child, but I heard
these stories about Red Arbach and how the visiting team
at the Boston Garden would go to this really crappy
locker room and they turn the heat on in the
summer and they turn the air conditioning on and the
winter and there'd be no hot water and the showers,
and people loathed going to play the Celtics. There and
they won pretty much every game at home and all that,
(16:49):
and now you look at it like nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How about Jason Tatum.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Here's Jason Tatum, mister potato chip man, Jason Tatum here
pointing out that the.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Celtics there's something they need to work on. Let's go
to the audio tape.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
What is it.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
We gotta play with more pace?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
No, no, thank you.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I can't play too slow. You know, in the fourth
quarter we made a couple of runs. Those go hand
in hand with getting stops and getting out in transition.
Let's start on the defensive end. Just play with, you know,
some more pace, play a little bit faster.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hey, we'll fast. That's all you gotta do. How about
you try to play some defense. Maybe a body on body,
hand in the face. Possibly. You know what do I know?
I didn't play in the NB. I just do an
overnight show, all right. It is the Ben Malor Show.

Do not do what I just said.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Dump that. Roberto nor we started with some pro bouncy
ball fodder. Why not. That's a lot around these parts.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But a wild game and Boston the Celtics played pretty
well in the first half. He exploded in the third
quarter like a super nova and they end up winning
the game just.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Based on the third quarter. It was an exceptional basketball
although a lot of it was just incompetence. In my
diagnosis for the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Defensively, it was a dereliction of duties on defense, but
it did make for some jaw dropping moments for the
Heat as they were moving the ball around and overpowering
the Celtics for that twelve minute block of time. It
was a virtuoso performance, one that let him play. Joe
(20:46):
Mozoula loved so much that he sat there.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And watched everything was going on. Supermarket Steve writes it.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He says, did I really just hear Ben Mather praise
Eric Spolstra for calling a time out and stopping the
Celtics momentum? Does that mean, according to you, he called
the time out to stop something that doesn't exist. Now,
I never said the word momentum, dummy. What I said
is I'm a big believer and this is gonna blow
you away here. Okay, I'm a big believer. Supermarket Steve
(21:16):
in doing your job. Okay, do your job, and if
you're the coach of the Celtics, you're not eating a
bucket of popcorn and drinking a beer in the front row.
Your job is to call it time out and say, Okay,
this is what they're doing here, this is why they're
scoring a lot of baskets. We have the freedom to
(21:36):
change that. By the way, that is not blasphemy. There
is no such thing as momentum. In fact, that this
game proved it, super market Steve. If you saw the game,
the Celtics, they were dominating the first time, they had
all the momentum. Why would they give that up in
the third quarter? And then the Heat dominated the third quarter.
(21:57):
So then, by your argument, Day had all the momentum.
So then how did Boston come back and outscore the
Heat in the third quarter. You see, there's no such
thing as momentum. There's just one team playing better than
the other, and you make You can make some alterations
and things as the game goes on. But man, it
was embarrassing here what happened in this particular game.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Let's see this year.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
J two, not to be confused with Jay one or
J three, the sleeve guy says, Hey, Ben, he says,
that was a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Let him play. Joe the Celtics coach just there asleep
at the wheelman, he says, And he then rambles on,
I think there's some letters missing and all that, but
he says, let him play. Joe needs to go yeah,
I'll see. It's the NBA. You can get rid of
(22:49):
anybody for anything.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Even if the Celtics win a championship, they could still
fire Joe Miszula. If you don't believe me, ask that
nurse who left Toronto or coach Bud out of Milwaukee.
Femi writes in from Chicago, he says, Mallard a plus
and a Mickey D's Sunday on the monologue. However, no
Sundays for the Schlubbies. Today's loss, giving up four in
(23:13):
the bottom of the ninth to the Astros could be the
worst since the Steve Bartman game. The owners spend money
on real estate, not the team payroll. And then Yafimi
says the most offensive thing you can say about a
professional baseball team in the year twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
He calls them the Chicago A's wow. That is a shot.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Midnight Walker from the Ques writes in. He says, I
could not agree with you more.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Ben. We used to hear.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
About the miserable coach Pop and the Spurs culture. Funny
how that no longer made a difference when the Admiral
and Tim Duncan were gone and they sucked. It's players,
not coaches. The when culture is a fallacy, it can't enhance.
I'm not gonna sit here and say it's nothing, but
(24:08):
I have seen way too much of this nonsense about.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
The Heat culture and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's like, there's nothing else to talk about other than that,
unless you want to do a deep dive on Ja Moran,
which by the way, we do and we will next hour.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Because there's new information on that. But the Spurs is
a great analogy. Look at the Patriots too.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
The Patriots talked about the Patriot Way and all that,
and I bought into a lot of that stuff too,
and I do like Belichick. But once Tom Brady got
old and then Tom Brady left, the Patriot way is
anywhere between seven and nine wins, that's the Patriot Way.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
That's what you got with Mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Jason in Kansas City, formerly in Denver, he's moved on
to the big city in Kansas City. He says ten
out of ten on this mallet monologue Ben The Eastern
Confence Finals are basically the junior varsity version of the
two conference finals, where any of the Heat where any
of the Heat players drafted in the first round of
the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
That's it from Jason in Kansas City, not so much.

six is card James Harden not going to exercise his
player option for next season, He will become a free agent.
Is apparently looking for a four year deal from some team.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
This all Oh, by the way, if anyone wants to
offer me a four year contract, I've never had a
four year contract, so I would love to. They want
to offer me some money, Eddie, I I'm all yours.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I mean, I am under contract now, but once my
deal's up you know, I'm willing to listen. According to
league sources, I'm tweet that out, Coop, Yeah, tweet that out.
I'm sure management would love to see that on the
twitter feed. What could possibly go wrong with that?

(26:51):
bam out of bio.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Great name? Is that not a great name? Bam out
of bio?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who doesn't like that's a fun name to say? It
just flows off the tongue.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Bam out of bio. And he's a he's.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Got a better name than he does game. He's not
a terrible player, but he's not a great But he
had twenty points, he had eight rebounds, but he had
a great quote. Also, as Bam out of Bio said
that he is a quote phenomenal passer. Was his quote
that when you think of the great passing big man,
you think of Nicole the Jokic, and you think of
Bam out of Bio somewhere right around the Bill Russell level,
(27:28):
unless you don't as Bam out of Bio had.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Not one, not two, not three, not four.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I believe he had five assists and three turnovers for
the Miami Heat in the game against the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So but he's a phenomenal passer. But why not go
big puffery.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Everyone's got to be a puff fish, a puff puff
fish and just puff yourself up and all that knocked
yourself out, puffer fish.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Let's see, we'll go to the quote, Oh what about Bob?
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
It appears the news is all but official now that
after twelve years at the Helm in the Bay Area,
what about Bob, Bob Myers is throwing in the sponge
(28:17):
and he will exit stage right now. I am told
by people that know more than me that the Warriors
and Bob Myers are going to position this as I
want to spend more time with my family. Pigong I
wants to spend more time with his family, wouldn't we
all like to spend more time with our families and
(28:38):
not have.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
To have, you know, have a job. So I always
get a kick out of that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
My favorite was when Danny Ainge was with the Sons
and he left the Suns said he wanted to spend
more time with his family and then took a job
at Turner Sports to travel every week to different cities
around the county to call NBA games. How do I
know that because I often saw him at an aleased
(29:05):
this arena called Staples Center in La I went to
a lot and he actually.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Was was there. It was like a couple of months
after he had left the Suns, and then he and
then he left that job shortly after that. I don't
think he was there very long. I don't remember how long.
And then he skidadled off to the Celtics and was
there for for a long time. Anyway, it's the Ben
Malejean Fox. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Ferg Dog says, there's one reason and one reason only
for the heat stealing game one from the Shamrocks Eric Spolstra.
He's one hell of a coach. Give the man his flowers,
says Fergdog.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The only flower I like is the pussy willow flower.
The greatest move Eric Spolstra made in Live was I
believe he's married to a Miami Heat cheerleader. I'm ninety
eight percent certain that he married one.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Of the cheerleaders for the Miami Heat.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So I'm good for good for them, good for the
little office romance who says, no, let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello. We'll say hello to Brandon. Who's listening
to us in Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
What's going on? Brandon? Welcome? Hello Brandon? Hm, hmmm, where
did Brandon go? There's a joke I can make. Oh
there he is right there. There you go. See the phones,
aren't that? Yes?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I'm talking and I have some good stuff?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And really now you're did you hang up?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
There you are? I hate I hate these what do
you what do you hate? Coop? The phones where they
call them.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
I swear it's working differently today than it did previously.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I know here.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Now do you want to be here?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
I do?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Okay, I am here now, So man, I had all
this good stuff. Now it's but whatever. That's anyway. So
if you're coming to Minnesota, you should learn the dialects right,
And I feel like you probably know some because of Wisconsin,
but uh, you know, here in Minnesota, we have some
words like op and we use those long oh as
like oh oap means something like oop.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Wait against sad. What's the word oak like that?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Oh pe op op?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Oh I got o? Do I sound Minnesota? Do I
sound like I'm a native?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Op?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Another thing we say is oofda. So if you're kind
of like gassed out or kind of like wow, you
go oh ooftu?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Now, how do I know you're not pulling my chant
and you're just making this up? How do I know
these are actual actual terms?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Either internet or wait until Saturday? There's trollably people that
talk about me.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Let me try that one. Do I sound Scandinavian? Do
I sound like I am from Scandinavia?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, I gots so. And we also say duck duck
gray ducks, not Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
That's gonna be impossible for me because I grew up
with duck duck goose, So duck duck, gray duck.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Working on gray ducks. And then we also say hiding
go seek, not hide and seek, hiding go seek.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, that's also gonna be tough because I was very
good at hiding. I was very good at Hide and Seek,
the game that I played as a kid. I was
very good, although I was not I was not good
at hiding because I was very large and it's hard
to hide when you're large. It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Are you gonna be there, Brand? Are you gonna be
hanging out of this thing on Saturday? Brand and either
come by?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Yes, I will absolutely be there. I want to thank
for putting all this together. That's actually really awesome.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
She's able to do that.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, she did a She did a wonderful job planning
a lot of this stuff. And I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I know some of the things are going to be there,
but I'm told there'll be some supper I don't know about.
So we'll find out on Saturday night. And information is
online if you want more information, if you're you want
in the area, if you're a geographically desirable come hang
out and hang out with me and other people that
like the show. You like minded people that all listen
late at night or yeah, all right, thank you, Brandon,
(33:18):
I said, Man, I am a big proponent that I
was talking to a buddy of mine in radio.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
He's like what are you doing? You get the weekend,
you're going to Minnesota. Are you going to hang out
with the listeners?
Speaker 8 (33:38):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And I said, I am a big believer that a
lot of life is all about the stories. R It's
just the things you do and the places you go
and the people you talk to. And today, I think,
even though I'm an introvert, this will be a very
interesting night and I should get many stories. Every one
of these that we've done over the years, there's always
been at least a couple of stories that have come
out of it, whether it's me hunting away from Wayne
(34:01):
in Southey at the Boston get together that we had,
or JJ in Renton trying to sneak me into a
Seahawks game when we were at the Seattle one, meeting
Robbie the Mariner fan who was there and Jay Scoop
who put that one together.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
So it's always interesting. And then also we had the
Malarman March in Seattle, which was wild. Yeah, it was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh yeah, we had Poppy. We hung out with Poppy
the La one. He showed up everyone boot him and
then people kind of liked him and then.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
They bowed him. When he left.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So go figure all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox and then we're we got the MLB pick him.
Speaker 1 (34:38):

Oh, this is a fresh take from Sir scratch Off.
He's upset with that guy Brandon that called up from
Minnesota with the local lexicon. He says, Malard sounds like
a freaking stupid Ben. He says, you don't have to
act like hicks.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Sir scratch Off is complaining accusing someone of acting like
a hick. Now, that is outstanding. That is wonderful on
many many levels. Robin Minnesota says, the one thing that
we all say in Minnesota is pop.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
We don't call it soda. Yeah, I'm okay with that.
I could go pop.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I'm not married to soda. I don't even drink soda anymore.
I don't even drink pop anymore. I might have a
rare and appropriate lemonade, but that's about it. Areek in
Minnesota says Brandon is not from here. I'm fifty four
and have never said oop and ufta. It's a duck duck,
gray duck. It is duck duck, gray duck.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
He says.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It's on all our social media channels Instagram, Ben Mahler
on Fox, the Facebook page Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Here in our one we talk about the Eastern Conference
Finals Game number one? How'd that go? I'm pretty good
if you're a Miami fan.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
As the Heat get the jump on the Celtics, and
who gets the biggest slice of the Boston blame cream
pie for the Seas, who got run off the court
in the third quarter? And what was the game changing
moment if there was one in game number one? And
was this victory in Boston a testimonial to the Heat culture?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Say what, We'll talk about that as well.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Here it is our number one, cranking up the Heat.
Wel come in the beginning of another edition of the
Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere in
partnership as our fresh takes are right out of the water.
Speaker 1 (01:33):

and our lead to begin the flight on the Red
Eye Overnight. Here comes from pro Bouncy Ball. It is
(02:18):
the time of the year, the month of May, and
we talk a lot of playoff basketball Eastern Conference Final, Boston.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
The scene Game one. You check this out.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Jimmy Buckets in the upstart heat, surviving the playing tournament,
knocking out the box, taking down the Knicks. Now trying
to stop Jason Tatum and the Celtics in Game one,
Boston riding high. Everyone across the NBA media has taken
turns smoaching the dry air of Jason Tatum and what
(02:49):
would he do for a follower? So if he didn't
see the game, you did not miss a classic. This
was not a classic. The Celtics but pretty well in
the first they had a double digit lead, and then
they had to play the rest of the game, Jimmy
Butler scoring twelve of his thirty five points during a
third quarter title wave. As Miami, they win, dominating the
(03:15):
second half, they never trailed in the fourth quarter of
the game. They win by seven in the lidlifters. So
the Heat get home court advantage just like that, presto.
And so now the Celtics will have to win at
least the game, at least a game in South Florida,
and Miami three wins away from going to the NBA
Finals again. But the better story is in the losing
(03:39):
locker room. That's where the drama is, That's where the emotion,
the raw emotion resides. And I know this firsthand. Did
I play in the NBA. No, but I did spend
a lot of time early in my career in locker rooms.
And I recall the team that won had the tunes blasting,
and the team that lost it was like you were
(04:00):
hanging out at a morgue.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
So the question here, who gets the biggest slice of
the Boston Blame cream pie. It's a special special item.
Not most people have that many most people don't have that,
but we have it here. Who gets the biggest slice
of the Boston Blame cream Pie.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So I've got.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Alpha Charlie, Ron Burgundy, and Yogiism, and we will combine
all of these things together and we are going to
make a nice migraine, which is what the Celtics. You
would think they would have a migraine after this performance
in the third quarter. So we'll we'll put all of
(04:40):
these things together. So A I immediately point the finger
at Jason Tatum, and the Tatum giveth and the Tatum
taketh away.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I think I read that in a a scripture back
in the day.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
But anyway, listen, Jason Tatum had his coming out party.
I thought they were in the NBA F Finals last year, Boston,
but based on the NBA media reaction, Jason Tatum the
fourth quarter in Game six in Philly, when he was
horrific for the first three quarters and then the game
seven fifty one point spot that he put up against
Doc Rivers, Jason Tatum and the Sixers. Well, now he's arrived.
(05:19):
He's like a dog marking his territory and he's he's here,
and now just watch him go. And so what did
Jason Tatum do? He followed that up with I would
call this a crawl under a rock situation. Now, let
me point out this is an unpopular opinion, much like
(05:40):
we talked about in the Western Conference Finals Game one,
where Anthony Davis had all these points and ten rebounds
in his forty ten game and it was like, oh,
it was great. Well, no, he got outplayed by badly
outplayed by the opposing team's center in NICOLEA. Jokic's the joke.
It was such a joking perform it was ridiculous. But
(06:02):
you know, the low information observers like, oh, Anthony Davis
was great, and the same thing's happening here. It's like, well,
if you just read the box score, what's what's to
complain about? Are you just being you're you're being blowhart
Benny criticizing Tatum. Well, Tatum did have thirty points in
seven rebounds, However, however, what more do you expect him
(06:23):
to do?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
That's the argument. The answer is a lot more. Jason
Tatum just called himself one of the best players in
the world last week, which is a douche canoe move
to make. When you do that, he does have a
nice resume. There are a lot of blind spots, and
all those blind spots vanish over the course of time.
You don't remember the bad stuff, you remember the good stuff.
(06:46):
That's normally how that works. But this was an also
inducing performance, even with thirty points and seven rebounds, and Tatum,
you gotta you gotta do better, you gotta be better.
This is a Alpha Charlie type performance where you need
a chewing out, you need your yourself ripped apart by somebody.
I don't know who's going to be the person to
(07:07):
do it, but forget Alpha Charlie, how about Charlie Manson.
This was a helter skelter type of playoff for Tatum,
and it is appropriate that he is the face of
the Ruffle brand of potato chips because Jason Tatum, you
know how those Ruffles, they got a lot of folds
and the potato chip that's their secret. They got the fold. Well,
Jason Tatum's got a lot of folds.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They're like up and down and up and down, and
up and down and up and down, just like a
Ruffles potato chip. It's appropriate that he's on the face
of the potato chip.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now, Tatum the main argument, there's two main arguments with Tatum.
He did not forcefully demand the ball in the fourth quarter.
He had six points, but all of them from the
foul line. And there was that stretch ninety seconds of hell,
three consecutive times down for the Celtics, turnover, turnover, turnover,
(07:59):
all to hand of Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
He had two of them on traveling calls.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
You know how blatant, how blatant you have to run
with the ball to get called for traveling if you're
a star player in the NBA. But all of that
happened in ninety seconds or so. He dragged his pivot foot.
He's an obvious call, an obvious call, no field goal attempts,
and so it's one of those things. It's like the
(08:24):
classic lyrics from the Beastie Boys back in the day, Right,
you got to fight for the right to party with
the ball.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You gotta fight for the ball. What are you doing
being a decoy? All right now? Page two here?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
What was the game changing moment in game number one?
If there is such a thing? The heat never trailed
in the fourth quarter, But much like Game one of
the Western Finals, where the game was decided in the
first half by the Nuggets, in this game, nothing has
changed more in my lifetime than halftime adjustments, unless that
(08:57):
is just bs that sportscast say. And the Celtics, I
think I wasn't there, and I don't think you were
there either, But as far as I'm concerned, they passed
out at halftime horse tranquilizers, and right there at the
midpoint of the game, Joe Missoula did it right?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Let him play? Joe returned.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
If you thought let him play Joe was gone, you
are wrong, because my man, Joe Missoula, this was an
all time classic performance.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
I don't think coaches matter.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
All that much, but you gotta at least try, You
gotta at least put some effort in so as Miami
is running circles around Boston. They put up almost fifty
points in the third quarter. They shot sixty five percent
from the floor. They shot even better from three point range.
Dominating inside, outside, rebounds, hustle plays, you name it. So
(09:53):
what was Boston doing on the other side, what did
the coaching staff do?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Well?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Let him play. Joe stood there like a signed by the.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
Side of the road and everything went by him right.
Never called the time out. That is malfeasance, He's what
dad is. That's coaching malfeasans. You at least have to
put a little effort in what are you doing? Like
you might as well buy a ticket like I'm pretty
sure the people sitting behind you in the front row
there at the garden could have also stood up and
(10:23):
put their hands on their on their knees and watched
the team crumble. What a juxtaposition too, because Eric Spolstra,
who is a traditionalist when it comes to coaching, and
the evidence on that at this I don't know. It
was the very beginning. It was early in the fourth quarter.
The Celtics came out, they had a little bit of
a spurt, a little bit of a blast. They closed
(10:46):
the deficit. It was like a seven nothing run if
I remember correctly.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
And so what did Miami do? Time out? Tipe out,
type out, tipe out?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, they went paint by numbers Eric Spolstra, and they
immediately called the time out. Now it worked out, Miami
won the game. And it wasn't just one guy in
the third quarter. Everyone Max Struse outscored Jalen Brown and
Jason Tatum combined in the third quarter. He had thirteen
points in the quarter, outscored Jimmy Butler as well, and
(11:19):
five of eight Tatum and Brown combined for eleven points
in the third quarter. Our last word here, so was
this victory in Boston by the heat because of the
heat culture? Now I need to address this, So I
would like to have an emergency meeting here among the
(11:39):
male Eblis.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
The answer to the question is no. But let me
explain why this has become a pet peeve of mine. Right,
Miami didn't win this game because of heat culture. They
played better than Boston in the third quarter. That's all
they had to do.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
The Celtics outscored the Heat in every other corner, every
other quart or advantage Boston. But it's you're judged by
the full game. And in the third quarter the heat
vaporized the seas. It was like a cloud burst of
offense rebounds. It was they were playing at a different
speed just like in the Western Finals when Denver played
at a different speed than the Lakers in Game number
(12:18):
one of that series. But by every measurable statistic we have,
by the eyeball test, by the ear drum test, if
you don't have eyes, you dominated in the paint. He
scored second chance points, fast break points, and all that.
But as far as the heat culture, right, I love
Jimmy Butler, but if this continues, I'm gonna turn on
(12:39):
Jimmy Butler. The guy plays with gumpchin moxie.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
I love that. I've always been a fan.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
If you've listened to show over the years, Butler's been
all over the place. He's a basketball hobo, and I've
always been a supporter of his because I appreciate that
and he's he's different than just about everyone else in
that in that particular business. But that's all of the
slobbering that I have seen by the NBA.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Media heat culture. You know what it does.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
It makes me want to puke into a bucket, is
what it does. I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 4 (13:10):
Stop.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
It's like a modern day yogism. Shout out, Yogi bear.
It's too popular now. Nobody likes it anymore. Stop now
you're making me load. The term heat culture overexposed.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Calm down.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
The Heat play hard, wonderful, right, But the reason again
that they are winning is not because.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
They play hard. It's because Jimmy Buckets is really really good.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And he's been better most of these games than Giannis
adent Tokumbo. He was as good or better than Jalen
Brunson in the in the previous series, and now he's
out played Jason Tatum in Game one of the Eastern
Conference Finals. But I will Garren Effin to you, if
you take Jimmy Butler off that roster and you put
some random guy and you indoctrinate him in the heat culture,
(14:03):
but he's not as good as Jimmy Butler.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You're not winning. You're not winning squat.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
So the Heat success, what it really is, is an indictment.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
And that's the thing people understand. They're so two surround basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
The Heat succeeding with this approach is an indictment of
the entire business model all of these other NBA teams
almost there's a few guys Damian Lillard, a few other
guys that play hard all the time, But the Heat
have gained notoriety, and the term heat culture has become
a popular term simply by showing perseverance.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Think about that for a second. Think about what that means,
that this is something that people are in awe of
the way the Miami Heat play because it's so foreign
to every other team that dabbles in the ancient art
of load management and taking nights off and resting and
not playing.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
It's fascinating, right, What is that about? In a league
where almost everyone phones it in? Right, they phone it in.
You're seen as some kind of innovator, some kind of
modern day Einstein, a great predictor of future things when
it's insane, all by hammering away wild to me. It's
(15:23):
absolutely wild to me. All right, is the band Mather show.
Let's get a little postgame flavor for you from the
Celtics and let them play Joe Joe Missoula, God forbid,
you call a time out when things are going sideways.
At least pretend like you're trying anyway. Here is Joe
Missoula pointing out the positive. There's a silver lining.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
For the Celtics. And as Warner Wolf used to say,
let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
You know we won three out of the four quarters,
got away from who we are in the third quarter,
whether it's home or away, it's the details, it's the margins,
it's the little things. We've shown we can do it
both home in a way, and I don't think that
matters as much as what our mindset is during certain stretches.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
The Celtics have been. The Celtics have been a terrible
home team. They have been the last couple of years.
They don't have no advanced like, they don't even pretend like.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
They have any advantage.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's it's why you think of the old days and
my my, my childhood thinking of the old Boston Garden
watching Celtic games, and I always thought there was like
a moat.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Around the Boston Garden. And I remember hearing stories.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It's through the eyes of a child, but I heard
these stories about Red Arbach and how the visiting team
at the Boston Garden would go to this really crappy
locker room and they turn the heat on in the
summer and they turn the air conditioning on and the
winter and there'd be no hot water and the showers,
and people loathed going to play the Celtics. There and
they won pretty much every game at home and all that,
(16:49):
and now you look at it like nothing.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
How about Jason Tatum.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Here's Jason Tatum, mister potato chip man, Jason Tatum here
pointing out that the.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Celtics there's something they need to work on. Let's go
to the audio tape.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
What is it.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
We gotta play with more pace?
Speaker 1 (17:06):
No, no, thank you.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
I can't play too slow. You know, in the fourth
quarter we made a couple of runs. Those go hand
in hand with getting stops and getting out in transition.
Let's start on the defensive end. Just play with, you know,
some more pace, play a little bit faster.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Hey, we'll fast. That's all you gotta do. How about
you try to play some defense. Maybe a body on body,
hand in the face. Possibly. You know what do I know?
I didn't play in the NB. I just do an
overnight show, all right. It is the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Him that, Oh okay, oh they don't do not do that.
Do not do what I just said.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Dump that. Roberto nor we started with some pro bouncy
ball fodder. Why not. That's a lot around these parts.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
But a wild game and Boston the Celtics played pretty
well in the first half. He exploded in the third
quarter like a super nova and they end up winning
the game just.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Based on the third quarter. It was an exceptional basketball
although a lot of it was just incompetence. In my
diagnosis for the Celtics.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Defensively, it was a dereliction of duties on defense, but
it did make for some jaw dropping moments for the
Heat as they were moving the ball around and overpowering
the Celtics for that twelve minute block of time. It
was a virtuoso performance, one that let him play. Joe
(20:46):
Mozoula loved so much that he sat there.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
And watched everything was going on. Supermarket Steve writes it.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He says, did I really just hear Ben Mather praise
Eric Spolstra for calling a time out and stopping the
Celtics momentum? Does that mean, according to you, he called
the time out to stop something that doesn't exist. Now,
I never said the word momentum, dummy. What I said
is I'm a big believer and this is gonna blow
you away here. Okay, I'm a big believer. Supermarket Steve
(21:16):
in doing your job. Okay, do your job, and if
you're the coach of the Celtics, you're not eating a
bucket of popcorn and drinking a beer in the front row.
Your job is to call it time out and say, Okay,
this is what they're doing here, this is why they're
scoring a lot of baskets. We have the freedom to
(21:36):
change that. By the way, that is not blasphemy. There
is no such thing as momentum. In fact, that this
game proved it, super market Steve. If you saw the game,
the Celtics, they were dominating the first time, they had
all the momentum. Why would they give that up in
the third quarter? And then the Heat dominated the third quarter.
(21:57):
So then, by your argument, Day had all the momentum.
So then how did Boston come back and outscore the
Heat in the third quarter. You see, there's no such
thing as momentum. There's just one team playing better than
the other, and you make You can make some alterations
and things as the game goes on. But man, it
was embarrassing here what happened in this particular game.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Let's see this year.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
J two, not to be confused with Jay one or
J three, the sleeve guy says, Hey, Ben, he says,
that was a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Let him play. Joe the Celtics coach just there asleep
at the wheelman, he says, And he then rambles on,
I think there's some letters missing and all that, but
he says, let him play. Joe needs to go yeah,
I'll see. It's the NBA. You can get rid of
(22:49):
anybody for anything.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Even if the Celtics win a championship, they could still
fire Joe Miszula. If you don't believe me, ask that
nurse who left Toronto or coach Bud out of Milwaukee.
Femi writes in from Chicago, he says, Mallard a plus
and a Mickey D's Sunday on the monologue. However, no
Sundays for the Schlubbies. Today's loss, giving up four in
(23:13):
the bottom of the ninth to the Astros could be the
worst since the Steve Bartman game. The owners spend money
on real estate, not the team payroll. And then Yafimi
says the most offensive thing you can say about a
professional baseball team in the year twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
He calls them the Chicago A's wow. That is a shot.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Midnight Walker from the Ques writes in. He says, I
could not agree with you more.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Ben. We used to hear.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
About the miserable coach Pop and the Spurs culture. Funny
how that no longer made a difference when the Admiral
and Tim Duncan were gone and they sucked. It's players,
not coaches. The when culture is a fallacy, it can't enhance.
I'm not gonna sit here and say it's nothing, but
(24:08):
I have seen way too much of this nonsense about.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
The Heat culture and all that.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
It's like, there's nothing else to talk about other than that,
unless you want to do a deep dive on Ja Moran,
which by the way, we do and we will next hour.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Because there's new information on that. But the Spurs is
a great analogy. Look at the Patriots too.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
The Patriots talked about the Patriot Way and all that,
and I bought into a lot of that stuff too,
and I do like Belichick. But once Tom Brady got
old and then Tom Brady left, the Patriot way is
anywhere between seven and nine wins, that's the Patriot Way.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
That's what you got with Mac Jones.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Jason in Kansas City, formerly in Denver, he's moved on
to the big city in Kansas City. He says ten
out of ten on this mallet monologue Ben The Eastern
Confence Finals are basically the junior varsity version of the
two conference finals, where any of the Heat where any
of the Heat players drafted in the first round of
the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
That's it from Jason in Kansas City, not so much.

Back to the NBA were no surprise here is seventy
six is card James Harden not going to exercise his
player option for next season, He will become a free agent.
Is apparently looking for a four year deal from some team.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
This all Oh, by the way, if anyone wants to
offer me a four year contract, I've never had a
four year contract, so I would love to. They want
to offer me some money, Eddie, I I'm all yours.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I mean, I am under contract now, but once my
deal's up you know, I'm willing to listen. According to
league sources, I'm tweet that out, Coop, Yeah, tweet that out.
I'm sure management would love to see that on the
twitter feed. What could possibly go wrong with that?

(26:51):
bam out of bio.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Great name? Is that not a great name? Bam out
of bio?
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Who doesn't like that's a fun name to say? It
just flows off the tongue.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Bam out of bio. And he's a he's.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Got a better name than he does game. He's not
a terrible player, but he's not a great But he
had twenty points, he had eight rebounds, but he had
a great quote. Also, as Bam out of Bio said
that he is a quote phenomenal passer. Was his quote
that when you think of the great passing big man,
you think of Nicole the Jokic, and you think of
Bam out of Bio somewhere right around the Bill Russell level,
(27:28):
unless you don't as Bam out of Bio had.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Not one, not two, not three, not four.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
I believe he had five assists and three turnovers for
the Miami Heat in the game against the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
So but he's a phenomenal passer. But why not go
big puffery.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Everyone's got to be a puff fish, a puff puff
fish and just puff yourself up and all that knocked
yourself out, puffer fish.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Let's go.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
Let's see, we'll go to the quote, Oh what about Bob?
We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.
It appears the news is all but official now that
after twelve years at the Helm in the Bay Area,
what about Bob, Bob Myers is throwing in the sponge
(28:17):
and he will exit stage right now. I am told
by people that know more than me that the Warriors
and Bob Myers are going to position this as I
want to spend more time with my family. Pigong I
wants to spend more time with his family, wouldn't we
all like to spend more time with our families and
(28:38):
not have.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
To have, you know, have a job. So I always
get a kick out of that.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
My favorite was when Danny Ainge was with the Sons
and he left the Suns said he wanted to spend
more time with his family and then took a job
at Turner Sports to travel every week to different cities
around the county to call NBA games. How do I
know that because I often saw him at an aleased
(29:05):
this arena called Staples Center in La I went to
a lot and he actually.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Was was there. It was like a couple of months
after he had left the Suns, and then he and
then he left that job shortly after that. I don't
think he was there very long. I don't remember how long.
And then he skidadled off to the Celtics and was
there for for a long time. Anyway, it's the Ben
Malejean Fox. Let's see.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Ferg Dog says, there's one reason and one reason only
for the heat stealing game one from the Shamrocks Eric Spolstra.
He's one hell of a coach. Give the man his flowers,
says Fergdog.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The only flower I like is the pussy willow flower.
The greatest move Eric Spolstra made in Live was I
believe he's married to a Miami Heat cheerleader. I'm ninety
eight percent certain that he married one.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Of the cheerleaders for the Miami Heat.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
So I'm good for good for them, good for the
little office romance who says, no, let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello. We'll say hello to Brandon. Who's listening
to us in Minnesota?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
What's going on? Brandon? Welcome? Hello Brandon? Hm, hmmm, where
did Brandon go? There's a joke I can make. Oh
there he is right there. There you go. See the phones,
aren't that? Yes?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I'm talking and I have some good stuff?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
And really now you're did you hang up?
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (30:37):
There you are? I hate I hate these what do
you what do you hate? Coop? The phones where they
call them.
Speaker 8 (30:44):
I swear it's working differently today than it did previously.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
I know here.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Now do you want to be here?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
I do?
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Okay, I am here now, So man, I had all
this good stuff. Now it's but whatever. That's anyway. So
if you're coming to Minnesota, you should learn the dialects right,
And I feel like you probably know some because of Wisconsin,
but uh, you know, here in Minnesota, we have some
words like op and we use those long oh as
like oh oap means something like oop.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Wait against sad. What's the word oak like that?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (31:25):
Oh pe op op?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Oh I got o? Do I sound Minnesota? Do I
sound like I'm a native?
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Op?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (31:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
Another thing we say is oofda. So if you're kind
of like gassed out or kind of like wow, you
go oh ooftu?
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Now, how do I know you're not pulling my chant
and you're just making this up? How do I know
these are actual actual terms?
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Either internet or wait until Saturday? There's trollably people that
talk about me.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Let me try that one. Do I sound Scandinavian? Do
I sound like I am from Scandinavia?
Speaker 8 (32:06):
No?
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Yeah, I gots so. And we also say duck duck
gray ducks, not Oh.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
That's gonna be impossible for me because I grew up
with duck duck goose, So duck duck, gray duck.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
Working on gray ducks. And then we also say hiding
go seek, not hide and seek, hiding go seek.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Yeah, that's also gonna be tough because I was very
good at hiding. I was very good at Hide and Seek,
the game that I played as a kid. I was
very good, although I was not I was not good
at hiding because I was very large and it's hard
to hide when you're large. It's impossible.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Are you gonna be there, Brand? Are you gonna be
hanging out of this thing on Saturday? Brand and either
come by?
Speaker 4 (32:44):
Yes, I will absolutely be there. I want to thank
for putting all this together. That's actually really awesome.
Speaker 6 (32:50):
She's able to do that.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, she did a She did a wonderful job planning
a lot of this stuff. And I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I know some of the things are going to be there,
but I'm told there'll be some supper I don't know about.
So we'll find out on Saturday night. And information is
online if you want more information, if you're you want
in the area, if you're a geographically desirable come hang
out and hang out with me and other people that
like the show. You like minded people that all listen
late at night or yeah, all right, thank you, Brandon,
(33:18):
I said, Man, I am a big proponent that I
was talking to a buddy of mine in radio.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
He's like what are you doing? You get the weekend,
you're going to Minnesota. Are you going to hang out
with the listeners?
Speaker 8 (33:38):
What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (33:39):
And I said, I am a big believer that a
lot of life is all about the stories. R It's
just the things you do and the places you go
and the people you talk to. And today, I think,
even though I'm an introvert, this will be a very
interesting night and I should get many stories. Every one
of these that we've done over the years, there's always
been at least a couple of stories that have come
out of it, whether it's me hunting away from Wayne
(34:01):
in Southey at the Boston get together that we had,
or JJ in Renton trying to sneak me into a
Seahawks game when we were at the Seattle one, meeting
Robbie the Mariner fan who was there and Jay Scoop
who put that one together.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
So it's always interesting. And then also we had the
Malarman March in Seattle, which was wild. Yeah, it was
pretty good.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Oh yeah, we had Poppy. We hung out with Poppy
the La one. He showed up everyone boot him and
then people kind of liked him and then.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
They bowed him. When he left.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
So go figure all right, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox and then we're we got the MLB pick him.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Here's the who am I?
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Game?
Speaker 1 (34:40):
We'll go to baseball. Entering play on Wednesday, I'm the.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Only player in the MLB with less than thirty games
played to have nine or more home runs. Again, entering
play on Wednesday, yesterday, i am the only player in
MLB with less than thirty games played to have nine
or more home runs?
Speaker 8 (35:02):
Who am I? The answer?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
We'll get to it. We will do it next.

Minnesota with the local lexicon. He says, Malard sounds like
a freaking stupid Ben. He says, you don't have to
act like hicks.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Sir scratch Off is complaining accusing someone of acting like
a hick. Now, that is outstanding. That is wonderful on
many many levels. Robin Minnesota says, the one thing that
we all say in Minnesota is pop.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
We don't call it soda. Yeah, I'm okay with that.
I could go pop.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
I'm not married to soda. I don't even drink soda anymore.
I don't even drink pop anymore. I might have a
rare and appropriate lemonade, but that's about it. Areek in
Minnesota says Brandon is not from here. I'm fifty four
and have never said oop and ufta. It's a duck duck,
gray duck. It is duck duck, gray duck.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
He says.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
And he wants to let everyone know, including Regina, that
a Reek will be attending, but he says he does
not realize he does not know how to RSVP, so
he'll just be showing up.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
And that's that.
