Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to the Original Recipe Podcast. We
were up all night recording this. You better enjoy. If
you don't enjoy it, I'm going to come through the
audio device and poke your ear. So here in hour
number one, they said there was an NBA game on
Thursday night. Although it wasn't very competitive, the Minnesota Timberwolves
(00:25):
had a forty five point win. They won by forty
five points over the reigning champion Nuggets. Who gets the
shame plate of Rocky Mountain Oysters for the Nuggets losing
by forty five points. Also, Celtics star Jalen Brown says
he's embracing the villain role, but is he a compelling heel?
(00:46):
We'll examine that. Bronnie James has reiterated that he wouldn't
or doesn't does not see a scenario in which a
general manager would select him trying to get his father
to come join whatever team Bronnie ends up with. Is
Bronnie James Wright, would an nbagm stoop that load to
(01:07):
draft Bronnie trying to get lebron? Also, would Lebron be
willing to go anywhere, even Utah if they drafted Bronnie
James we'll talk about all that and more right now,
give it up. It's our number one. Well that was
(01:28):
quite the night. Welcome in not beginning of another night
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, companions,
as we tow the Mason Dixon Line, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond all the beast and sharply

ten thousand, but they have ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
iraq dot com the Way Tire Buying Show. Be and
(02:36):
greetings and salutations. We are back at it again and
our lead this hour from the hoop Dojo in the
Twin Cities. There was an island game, living the island life.
Only one game on the pro bouncy Ball card, and
oh what a game it was who what stinks?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Man?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't know if you saw this or not. You
didn't miss anything, you really we say that all the time.
Tongue in cheek, we say that all the time, tongue
in cheek. Well, we watched. You wouldn't have to. There
was really nothing to watch here. There was zero zero
to watch. The Nuggets came out, had an early ninety
two lead, and then after that, Nana nanaa ey, good bye,
(03:20):
Aunt Edwards coming up big. He had twenty seven points.
He pumped in the timmurles. The Minnesota basketball team led
by as many as fifty points. I didn't play in
the NBA, but I think that's pretty good. And they
ended up disemboweling the Nuggets by forty five points, one
fifteen to seventy your final. So if you bet on
(03:43):
the Nuggets, you're a loser. That game played in downtown
Minneapolis there at the Target Center. Game seven will be
back in Colorado over the weekend. Someone named Jayden McDaniels
had twenty one points, being credited for his amazing defense.
Mike Connley return he had thirteen points, and the MVP
(04:03):
the Mensa Nikola Jokic held to twenty two points. That's
not that great, all right. The better story is in
the losing locker room. So that is where we will begin,
and we'll discuss the question who gets the shame Rocky
Mountain oysters for the Nuggets. So I've got wingspin, buttons,
(04:30):
and goose and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a nice day off,
which is what the Denver basketball team got. This was
a baffling performance by Denby said, well, maybe they could lose,
but they're not going to get blown out. The game
will be closed. No, no, no, This was the kind
(04:53):
of performance and I don't want to exaggerate and do hyperbole.
It was the kind of an effort that it makes
you wonder whether the federal government's going to investigate. It's
one thing to not show up, but to be down
by fifty in a game where you could advance to
the Western Finals, what are you doing? You're playing hooky.
(05:13):
Denver allowed at one point a twenty to nothing run.
That was early in the game. I think it was
after that nine to two things and then later on
in the second half a twenty four to nothing run. Wow. Uh,
at least try a little bit they treated it like
it was the fourth game in five nights in the
middle of the season, and they were on the road,
(05:34):
and they were staying at a flea ridden, flea bag hotel. Man,
So we've heard a lot. I use this line quite
a bit. It's a make or miss league, make or
miss league. We hear that a lot. Okay, Denver took
eighty six shots. They missed sixty of them, many of
them wide open. Now, sometimes it's your night, sometimes it's
(05:57):
not your night. But I just it was such a
Nashville glaze, I guess is how we could describe it.
That's what the Timberwolves coach said of his team the
other day. But it wasn't because of amazing defense by Minnesota.
This didn't look like that. Unless my TV's broken, maybe
it is. Actually I was watching on my computer. But
Denver suffered from team wide diarrhea, die die diarrhea during
(06:24):
this game. All right. Now, in particular, we asked the question,
who gets these shame Rocky Mountain oysters for the Nuggets? Well,
Jamal Murray. All you can eat Rocky Mountain shame oysters. Man.
In fact, he also got Jamal Murray. He got one
of those little wing pins. Remember when you were a
kid back in the old days, you go on a plane,
they give you like a little wing pin. Yeah, he
(06:45):
was flying first class Jamal Murray on the Vomit Comet.
Murray took eighteen shots, he missed fourteen of the eighteen,
only had ten points, and he had a team wors
plus minus of minus thirty two. He then had the
hutzpah to blame his struggles on an elbow injury, not
(07:06):
Anthony Edwards defense or anything else, not that he just
had a bad game. It's oh, my elbow, it's my
ah my egging outbot.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now we're not buying what he's cooking. We're not. Jamal
Murray was waist deep in mud, gasping for breath. El stinko, right,
and this is the same pattern we have seen. And
I know I'm just screaming into the night here, I
get it. I'm howling at the moon the other night.
(07:40):
Jalen Brunson, we heard his body was falling apart. Luca
Dontrich would have taken two weeks off, he was that
broken up. And now Jamal Murray. Now we have Jamal Murray,
who they've all used the same play the get out
of Jail free car. Right, good game, they're fine, bad game,
(08:05):
and all of a sudden we need to get a
hospital gurdy out. Here is Jamal Murray, in his own words,
getting a little annoyed with the line of questioning. Let's
go to the audio tape. How difficult did Anthony Edwards
make it for you? When he was checking here? I
mean who for me?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
For me?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah? For you? I mean it was less about it
was more about my my elbow at that point. You know,
every time even some passes, you know, my arm U.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But he was more offensive for him losing him guarding me,
he was he was scoring on the other end.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, So are they gonna have to amputate his arm?
Does anyone know that? Can we get an update on that?
Are they gonna have to cut his arm off? Because
the elbows a little a little wobbly. Now for Minnesota, again,
just to clarify, I don't think it was great defense
by Anthony Towards. I don't think it was the elbow.
I think he just played bad for Minnesota though. That
(09:07):
team you talk about bipolar come out first two games gamebusters, right,
they're flying high and They're like acrobats going all over
the places, and then they come back and suck for
three games, and now they come out there with a
masterpiece performance. So what happens game seven, Sunday night? Developing
hot dot dot dot. Now that game not much of
(09:28):
a talker, So we'll pivot away from the Minnesota Denver
game and go to Boston where the Celtics star Jalen
Brown talking recently about the spotlight that he's in playing
for the C's back in the final four of the NBA,
and he said he is embracing being a villain. Say
(09:49):
what I talked about getting older, poison old man and
trying to embrace it more, he said, embracing and not
giving an f're. He meant whether they whoever they are,
see his value or don't see it. So Celtics star
Jaalen Brown embracing the villain heel role. Thumbs up or
(10:13):
thumbs down? Is he a compelling heel Jalen Brown? So
I'll go first, thumbs down, All right, thumbs down. He
is the Robin to Batman, which is Jason Tatum. But
if you look at the heel criterion, I know heels.
I grew up watching professional wrestling back when it was
at its peak. Right, the heel, you have to have
(10:34):
the ability to evoke raw emotion. It's about storytelling, it's
about charisma, it's about presence. And I look at Jalen
Brown and he does not pass the heel eyeball test.
He doesn't evoke strong emotions from those watching the Celtics.
Even if you don't like the South, you're a fan
(10:56):
of the other team, which is really what you're this
is all about you. You're a fan of the other team.
You're looking.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
But now, the.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Celtics have had some legit, big time heels, and usually
they weren't even the top one or two players on
the team. Right if you go way back in the
you know the forty years ago, Danny Ainge who's been
an executive for the last twenty five years and coach,
and he was annoying, and they had a guy named
(11:23):
Greg Kite who was the center, who was also ridiculously annoying.
And there's not too many heels right now in the NBA.
I would say Rudy Gobert is because people really get annoyed.
They get a reaction from Rudy Gobert. But Jalen Brown.
He doesn't evoke a strong emotional reaction from those watching
the storytelling. I don't get that. He doesn't really press
(11:44):
people's buttons, doesn't get under people's skin. He's not an instigator.
He's a good player, but he's not someone who makes
you despise them or love to hate them, or cheer
for their downfall. That is what a heel is, right.
The heel is someone that because of their persona and
their attitude, they are able to get you to rise
(12:07):
up to a level where you want to punch them
in the face because you can't stand them, and you
love to hate them and look for them to do
poorly and celebrate their downfall. Shot in Freud, all right,
last word here we briefly go to the pro bouncy
ball draft. Not because I want to talk about the
pro bouncy ball draft, but because I thought this was
(12:27):
a good story. Bronnie James, that is the son of
lebron I'm told he was a good basketball player years ago,
but now not so much anyway. Bronnie James reiterating recently
that he does not Bronnie James does not see a
scenario in which any GM would select him in the
(12:50):
hopes of landing his daddy. Is he right? So let
me begin by saying it is understandable that this would
be the public position of Bronnie James, that he would
say this. However, to answer the question is he right,
I'm going no on this one. Bronnie James was born
(13:13):
with a silver spoon in his mouth, and while he
kind of won the genetic lottery, he didn't win the
height lottery. This is the family business though. Based on
the measurables and the fact that he was a backup
at USC on a bad team, Bronnie James at the
Pro bouncy Ball draft is the skunk at the combine, Right,
(13:37):
why would a team grab Scrownie Bronnie in the draft? Well,
the only real he's not good. He's not a good player.
The only reason to really do it is straight cash only.
And it all goes back to the goose, the golden goose.
Lebron James is the golden goose. He poops out gold eggs,
gold eggs, and it's the trickle down effect. If you
(13:58):
get Bronnie, you get lebron On and then you get
more TV games, more merchandise sales, influence you matter a
little more. Now this will be tested, right, would Lebron
really go to a place like Utah. The rumor of
the day was the Utah Jazz are considering drafting Bronnie James,
which I find a music but that would be the
(14:19):
ultimate double dog dare call your bluff Lebron scenario. And
for that part of me wants the Utah Jazz to
draft Bronnie James just to call Lebron's bluff, to see
whether or not he would actually go to Salt Lake
on a team that has no chance of being any
(14:40):
more than the Lakers and just losing the first round.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Roll it on as we began the festivities here yapping,
but that meanness sort of timmal performance a forty five
point win in a game facing elimination, a total domination,
no doubt about it, A no doubter man. And so
(17:06):
we'll see what happens in Game seven this week. And
Ya Feemi writes in from Chicago. He says, Hey, mal
Or a plus and a snickers on the Mala monologue.
The NFL is attempting to create storylines with this scheduling, Well,
yeah they are. There's a bunch of stories. We'll get
to some of them later on Jay Dot in Utah
says I would laugh my ass off if my Utah
(17:27):
Jazz drafted Brownie James to the to try to get lebron.
He says, there's absolutely nothing to do on Sundays in
Salt Lake City except to go see CND dancers at
the Strip Joint. They're perfect, and dive bars have fun. Yeah, okay, Well,
Jay Dots lived in Utah a long time. He knows
(17:48):

Speaker 3 (17:49):
Later, I guess he's not in jail.
Speaker 1 (17:51):

don't know. We haven't gotten an update on Jay Dot's
legal situation. We're really like legal advisors on this show.
We can help you out, Jay Dot, if you need advice.
A late night drug tester says, I'm sure Jamal Murray's
elbow doesn't hurt. He says, since he gave away his
(18:13):
heat pack to the referee in Game two, he hasn't
been able to keep up. Was his with his therapy,
he says. He says, I'm sure Murray's elbow does hurt,
all right. Rob in Vegas says solid professional wrestling. Opening monologue, Benjamin,
I love me a good heel. Thank goodness you didn't
go with pro bouncier ball. Shout out Norman in Oklahoma.
(18:37):
That's Randy. I think it was Randy and Norman I
remember correctly, but he moved to Orlando. Call us up
one more time, and then that was that. Jason the
diamond Man says, former wrestling World champion Iron Chic approves
of that a block in our one, so he says yes.
(18:58):
The Burner account rites and says, whatever happened to the
caller formerly known as Gunner aka water Pistol. I'm sure
he's at the Walmart smiling right now. He tried to
warn us about the timber pups. Benjamin, That's true. It's
one of the great one hit wonders in the history
of the show. If you've been with the show a
long time, there are many people that call up for
a couple of weeks or a couple of months, and
(19:21):
they become somewhat of a celebrity on the show. They
get a cult following, and then they vanish. And I
had forgot about Gunner. But Gunner worked at a Walmart
in Minnesota and would call up with all kinds of
Timberwolf propaganda and was just dreadful as a caller. But
we liked him. He kept trying and it just did
(19:42):
not work out. A G Manage in Chicago says, appreciate
the Mallard monologue. I got to say the NBA product
is bad. Who's watching a one twelve sixty eight playoff
game that wasn't quite it is even worse than that.
Who there you go? He says, it's turned itself into
a European league. It's week lazy, incompetent, pretentious, simply pathetic.
(20:05):
G Man says the league all time scorer is a liar,
narcissist and not degoat. Okay, how do you really? Yeah?
Big fan there? Robin Minnesota says there was a time
on your show when the only Timberwolves news was from
that northern Minnesota Walmart worker named Gunner. How about that?
Two people not related in any way, both mentioning the
(20:29):
caller Gunner that the amazing work of Gunner. How bad
was Gunner? Yeah? How soon before the good people of
Minnesota start calling up saying, well, we're gonna lose on
game seven. We're done. We are absolutely done. It's over,
Drew writes in he's playing that cowboy game. He says,
if the Timberwolves win Game seven, I'm going to finally
(20:53):
clip the skin tags off. He says, his own skin
tag's there, and make a portrait of you out of
my skin. Tax very special, very very special to have that.
They would add that to my collection with Doc Mike's
goat head back in the day, and all the weird
(21:14):
stuff the people have sent me over the years. And
it is quite quite the collection of weird stuff. Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Tony in
the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, Hey man.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I was gonna challenge Marcel to a sing off, but
apparently my singing is found upon. It's kind of odd
because when I sing along with oldies, I sound pretty good,
but when the oldies are off, I sound like the frog.
Ain't that a bitch?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, that's a big problem. Yeah, that is a problem, Tony.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I also want to give a shout out to Matt
Rempy and the Texas. Not the Texas but the hockey
team New Yorkers. Yeah, there you go, because they won.
And uh, I don't know if they're familiar with Matt Rempy,
but he's a rookie who's been punching in bunches. I'm
pretty sure you scored a score. I know he's been
(22:10):
punching people out. If you guys want to watch some highlights,
it's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah. Yeah, no, I've heard about him. We mentioned him
once or twice on the show. Yeah, he likes to
he likes to throw down. That's like, if you were
a hockey player, you'd be Matt Rempy. That's who you'd be, right.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I don't think i'd be a stuff as that guy,
but i'd throw a few here and there.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Rock Hard. Have you had any more dreams recently? You
like to tell us about your dreams? Anything recently you
want to share with the class.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I do have a few, some disturbing and some just
the normal, you know stuff. If you want to hear.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
One, all right, do we want to hear normal or disturbing?
What do we think? Let's go disturbing? Why not?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
So I was at another cholo party, I guess, and
I was it seemed like every group I hung out
with I pissed him off, and eventually the third group
kind of they didn't jump me, but they kind of
assaulted me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
And then.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
At the end of the party we start everybody just
starts walking in different directions and there's like some alleyways
where some other chogos are throwing bottles at us and stuff.
And the guys that I was walking with Wanda climbing
a thirty foot fence like spiders, and I was thinking
to myself, Man, if I climb this, I'll bust my ass.
And then I pretty much woke up.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
So okay, well, thank you for sharing. I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Can I hang up on you? I'm gonna hang up
on you.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's not you, thank you, it's the clock. Oh you
hang up on yourself. Go away? Alrighty. I like Tony.
Tony's one of my favorite callers. I think he made
it on there the whole. I don't think we had
a dump in it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
All Right, we press on here and on and on
and on, but it is time for well. It's a
staple of this show. Go ahead, fun fact, putting the
fun in fun fact, because that's what we do here.
That's what we do here. Here's the fun fact of
the hour. A madhouse at Chavez Ravine, all because of
(24:24):
a bobblehead. It was the first show. Hey otani bobble Now,
I don't get this.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I bet Roberto was out there.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Was he out there?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
God wouldn't. He always gets them and sells them. He's
an entrepreneur with the bobbleheads.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So even Loraina wants it, but I think she just
wants it to resell to people.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Well that's what Roberto does as well.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah Japan, Well yeah, I would think I've.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Got a I'm not trying to overtake your story here,
I've got a Tani Angels Jedi bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Ooh, you should sell that.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I should online to see how it is. No, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You should do that.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
But the scene that I was not at Dodger stay,
but the scene at Dodger Stadium was insane. If people
were camping out essentially they they were waiting for the
gates to open, and there was a traffic. There was
like there's always traffic in La, but there were people
lined up. There were so many people because you got
to get in early to get one of the bobbleheads
and all that. Because even though they have fifty three
(25:28):
thousand people, they only give out forty thousand bobbleheads. That's it.
So why I've never understood why not just give if
you have fifty three thousand seats? How hot is it
to have the people in China make an extra thirteen
thousand bobbleheads. I don't get now the thing here, here's
the fun part of this, not that there's traffic and
(25:48):
people were lined up, but they tossed in the golden
ticket version of the bobble hets. The standard bobblehead was
the white jersey, but they tossed in some gray bobbleheads.
There were seventeen hundred gray Road Dodger uniform o Tani bibbleheads,
(26:12):
and those have been going for thousands of dollars on
the secondary market. Let me check right now, do we
have any music with out? Check right now. I'm gonna see.
Let's see what the top price is for an Otawani bobblehead.
Let's see, this is just the game is just a
few hours ago. Let's see here they have auction. I'm
(26:38):
trying to get the most expensive. There's a lot for
three hundred dollars. Oh, here's one for eighteen hundred dollars.
The gray bobblehead eighteen hundred bucks. I knew it a thousand.
Come up, here's a gray one for one thousand, fifteen
hundred dollars. They're right around thousand dollars. The white one
(27:01):
is just like a couple hundred bucks. Here's one for
twenty five hundred bucks. Rare. Otani bobblehead, gray uniform rare.
It's so stupid. Oh, here's one for three thousand dollars.
That must be a rebirt of a bus driver. He
must be selling his for three thousand dollars. Oh, and here,
good news, Eddie. I'm looking at the you mentioned the
(27:23):
Otani Star Wars bobblehead that you said you have. Yes,
that is on sale right now on the secondary market
for eighty dollars, Eddie. So you should sell that for
eighty dollars. I mean, you know, it's an eighty dollars.
You know, you can go out and get a meal
or something like that, you know, buy some popcorns. How
much is the average ticket for a Dodger game? Yeah,
(27:44):
it depends where you sit, but you know, good luck
getting into Oh yeah, that's that's good. I like the music.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Light up, Eddie. I don't think it does.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's yeah, that's just all right. That ends my fun
fact of the hour. But isn't that not fun? Come on,
that's fun fun fun fun fun fun. Hey, are you

the Athletic revealed that the Knicks comeback win. The blowout
(29:05):
win was inspired by I'm gonna read this verbatim, an
epic fart that the flatulence loosened up the Knickerbocker locker
room ahead of that blowout win and it put the
players at ease. Wow. Yeah, it's so so stupid. Ah,
(29:32):
this is this is great. Uh. The writer for the
Athletic says the said fart was purely audio and if
you're you're wondering, but as a matter of fact, he
said when it happened, it's strung along for a lot
longer than one might expect. And he mentioned that the
(29:53):
the for a fart of that volume and that context.
So that's that's the reporting, that's the sports riding right there,
that the Knickerbockers there was there was this is a legit.
I'm not even this is a legitimate. No, the fart
heard around the world or the fart smelled round around
(30:13):
the world, that is now it sounds like it's a
rumby tumbly situation right that. But that nothing was spoken,
but people knew that was a sign that the guy
had eaten too many you know, beans, or had too
much soda, and all of a sudden he had an
(30:37):
upset stomach. And then he had to give the old
butt Mazooka a shot, and that that led the Nicks.
So we don't know the name of the player. Who
do you think the Knickerbocker player was that that let
it rip? Because I I'm going with Hartenstein. He looks
(30:59):
like he's a big guy. I bet he has a
lot of farts. Number fifty five in your Nick program,
but number one your heart. That's why I'm going with
Isaiah Hartenstein, former Clipper. He's the guy, He's the guy
that inspired the Knicks. That's what I'm going. I have
(31:20):
no inside information. I just believe that in my heart.
That's what I'm going Anyway, it is the Ben Mallards.
I love that that is being reported and it's just
just absolutely, absolutely great. And I've worked with a few
people who were epic in that department, and they never
inspired me to do good radio. So it must be basketball.
(31:41):
It must not be radio. It must be a basketball
thing that when you hear the airing out of the sphincter,
that that inspires you to play basketball. But it does
not help you when you do a talk show. It
does not help you at all.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Ben, I don't know if you know this or not,
but there is a member of the staff who makes
a lot of news with his flatulence. News well, the
news amongst the folks he works with. Yeah, Lorena knows
all too well who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Oh my god, are you talking about Lee?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, the great lead of the.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Great Leader lap Yeah, right, is so bad? That sounds
like an HR.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I was going to say, yeah, yeah, you don't have
to put up with that, you.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Know, Lorena, I'm gonna build a wall. How about this,
I think you should get at a gas mask.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, that's actually a better idea.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Lead A lap should call the Knicks. He's very proud
of it, is very proud. But Lee should go to
New York and he can be like a special advisor.
He can be an assistant coach of the Knicks. And
then you can fart on demand and then like, the
Knicks will never lose another game, right, I mean they
start here and that Bark and Spider and they get
(33:02):
all excited. They are gonna win again. We're gonna have
the equine pickam because there's kind of a big race
in Baltimore on Saturday, the second leg of the Triple Crown.
So we'll get to that. But here's the who am
I game. Nuggets guard Jamal Murray this postseason is averaging
nineteen point three points per game on twenty point two
(33:26):
field goal attempts. Only in history of the NBA, only
Bob Koozy and me have averaged less points per game
on twenty or more field goal attempts in a single
playoff run minimum of course ten games played who am I?
That is the question the answer, We'll get to it
and we will do it next.

Here we go. Welcome to the Original Recipe Podcast. We
were up all night recording this. You better enjoy. If
you don't enjoy it, I'm going to come through the
audio device and poke your ear. So here in hour
number one, they said there was an NBA game on
Thursday night. Although it wasn't very competitive, the Minnesota Timberwolves
(00:25):
had a forty five point win. They won by forty
five points over the reigning champion Nuggets. Who gets the
shame plate of Rocky Mountain Oysters for the Nuggets losing
by forty five points. Also, Celtics star Jalen Brown says
he's embracing the villain role, but is he a compelling heel?
(00:46):
We'll examine that. Bronnie James has reiterated that he wouldn't
or doesn't does not see a scenario in which a
general manager would select him trying to get his father
to come join whatever team Bronnie ends up with. Is
Bronnie James Wright, would an nbagm stoop that load to
(01:07):
draft Bronnie trying to get lebron? Also, would Lebron be
willing to go anywhere, even Utah if they drafted Bronnie
James we'll talk about all that and more right now,
give it up. It's our number one. Well that was
(01:28):
quite the night. Welcome in not beginning of another night
of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, companions,
as we tow the Mason Dixon Line, coast to coast,
border to border and beyond all the beast and sharply
(01:52):
powerful microphones of fsr mminating live from the horn as
we lock horns with your ear drums. We are broadcasting
live from the tire raq dot com studios. Tyre rac
dot com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast,
(02:13):
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. My guy Femi in the Twin Cities. He says,
that's how many points the Minnesota basketball team won by
ten thousand, but they have ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
iraq dot com the Way Tire Buying Show. Be and
(02:36):
greetings and salutations. We are back at it again and
our lead this hour from the hoop Dojo in the
Twin Cities. There was an island game, living the island life.
Only one game on the pro bouncy Ball card, and
oh what a game it was who what stinks?
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Man?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't know if you saw this or not. You
didn't miss anything, you really we say that all the time.
Tongue in cheek, we say that all the time, tongue
in cheek. Well, we watched. You wouldn't have to. There
was really nothing to watch here. There was zero zero
to watch. The Nuggets came out, had an early ninety
two lead, and then after that, Nana nanaa ey, good bye,
(03:20):
Aunt Edwards coming up big. He had twenty seven points.
He pumped in the timmurles. The Minnesota basketball team led
by as many as fifty points. I didn't play in
the NBA, but I think that's pretty good. And they
ended up disemboweling the Nuggets by forty five points, one
fifteen to seventy your final. So if you bet on
(03:43):
the Nuggets, you're a loser. That game played in downtown
Minneapolis there at the Target Center. Game seven will be
back in Colorado over the weekend. Someone named Jayden McDaniels
had twenty one points, being credited for his amazing defense.
Mike Connley return he had thirteen points, and the MVP
(04:03):
the Mensa Nikola Jokic held to twenty two points. That's
not that great, all right. The better story is in
the losing locker room. So that is where we will begin,
and we'll discuss the question who gets the shame Rocky
Mountain oysters for the Nuggets. So I've got wingspin, buttons,
(04:30):
and goose and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a nice day off,
which is what the Denver basketball team got. This was
a baffling performance by Denby said, well, maybe they could lose,
but they're not going to get blown out. The game
will be closed. No, no, no, This was the kind
(04:53):
of performance and I don't want to exaggerate and do hyperbole.
It was the kind of an effort that it makes
you wonder whether the federal government's going to investigate. It's
one thing to not show up, but to be down
by fifty in a game where you could advance to
the Western Finals, what are you doing? You're playing hooky.
(05:13):
Denver allowed at one point a twenty to nothing run.
That was early in the game. I think it was
after that nine to two things and then later on
in the second half a twenty four to nothing run. Wow. Uh,
at least try a little bit they treated it like
it was the fourth game in five nights in the
middle of the season, and they were on the road,
(05:34):
and they were staying at a flea ridden, flea bag hotel. Man,
So we've heard a lot. I use this line quite
a bit. It's a make or miss league, make or
miss league. We hear that a lot. Okay, Denver took
eighty six shots. They missed sixty of them, many of
them wide open. Now, sometimes it's your night, sometimes it's
(05:57):
not your night. But I just it was such a
Nashville glaze, I guess is how we could describe it.
That's what the Timberwolves coach said of his team the
other day. But it wasn't because of amazing defense by Minnesota.
This didn't look like that. Unless my TV's broken, maybe
it is. Actually I was watching on my computer. But
Denver suffered from team wide diarrhea, die die diarrhea during
(06:24):
this game. All right. Now, in particular, we asked the question,
who gets these shame Rocky Mountain oysters for the Nuggets? Well,
Jamal Murray. All you can eat Rocky Mountain shame oysters. Man.
In fact, he also got Jamal Murray. He got one
of those little wing pins. Remember when you were a
kid back in the old days, you go on a plane,
they give you like a little wing pin. Yeah, he
(06:45):
was flying first class Jamal Murray on the Vomit Comet.
Murray took eighteen shots, he missed fourteen of the eighteen,
only had ten points, and he had a team wors
plus minus of minus thirty two. He then had the
hutzpah to blame his struggles on an elbow injury, not
(07:06):
Anthony Edwards defense or anything else, not that he just
had a bad game. It's oh, my elbow, it's my
ah my egging outbot.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
It's so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now we're not buying what he's cooking. We're not. Jamal
Murray was waist deep in mud, gasping for breath. El stinko, right,
and this is the same pattern we have seen. And
I know I'm just screaming into the night here, I
get it. I'm howling at the moon the other night.
(07:40):
Jalen Brunson, we heard his body was falling apart. Luca
Dontrich would have taken two weeks off, he was that
broken up. And now Jamal Murray. Now we have Jamal Murray,
who they've all used the same play the get out
of Jail free car. Right, good game, they're fine, bad game,
(08:05):
and all of a sudden we need to get a
hospital gurdy out. Here is Jamal Murray, in his own words,
getting a little annoyed with the line of questioning. Let's
go to the audio tape. How difficult did Anthony Edwards
make it for you? When he was checking here? I
mean who for me?
Speaker 3 (08:25):
For me?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Yeah? For you? I mean it was less about it
was more about my my elbow at that point. You know,
every time even some passes, you know, my arm U.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
But he was more offensive for him losing him guarding me,
he was he was scoring on the other end.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, So are they gonna have to amputate his arm?
Does anyone know that? Can we get an update on that?
Are they gonna have to cut his arm off? Because
the elbows a little a little wobbly. Now for Minnesota, again,
just to clarify, I don't think it was great defense
by Anthony Towards. I don't think it was the elbow.
I think he just played bad for Minnesota though. That
(09:07):
team you talk about bipolar come out first two games gamebusters, right,
they're flying high and They're like acrobats going all over
the places, and then they come back and suck for
three games, and now they come out there with a
masterpiece performance. So what happens game seven, Sunday night? Developing
hot dot dot dot. Now that game not much of
(09:28):
a talker, So we'll pivot away from the Minnesota Denver
game and go to Boston where the Celtics star Jalen
Brown talking recently about the spotlight that he's in playing
for the C's back in the final four of the NBA,
and he said he is embracing being a villain. Say
(09:49):
what I talked about getting older, poison old man and
trying to embrace it more, he said, embracing and not
giving an f're. He meant whether they whoever they are,
see his value or don't see it. So Celtics star
Jaalen Brown embracing the villain heel role. Thumbs up or
(10:13):
thumbs down? Is he a compelling heel Jalen Brown? So
I'll go first, thumbs down, All right, thumbs down. He
is the Robin to Batman, which is Jason Tatum. But
if you look at the heel criterion, I know heels.
I grew up watching professional wrestling back when it was
at its peak. Right, the heel, you have to have
(10:34):
the ability to evoke raw emotion. It's about storytelling, it's
about charisma, it's about presence. And I look at Jalen
Brown and he does not pass the heel eyeball test.
He doesn't evoke strong emotions from those watching the Celtics.
Even if you don't like the South, you're a fan
(10:56):
of the other team, which is really what you're this
is all about you. You're a fan of the other team.
You're looking.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
But now, the.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Celtics have had some legit, big time heels, and usually
they weren't even the top one or two players on
the team. Right if you go way back in the
you know the forty years ago, Danny Ainge who's been
an executive for the last twenty five years and coach,
and he was annoying, and they had a guy named
(11:23):
Greg Kite who was the center, who was also ridiculously annoying.
And there's not too many heels right now in the NBA.
I would say Rudy Gobert is because people really get annoyed.
They get a reaction from Rudy Gobert. But Jalen Brown.
He doesn't evoke a strong emotional reaction from those watching
the storytelling. I don't get that. He doesn't really press
(11:44):
people's buttons, doesn't get under people's skin. He's not an instigator.
He's a good player, but he's not someone who makes
you despise them or love to hate them, or cheer
for their downfall. That is what a heel is, right.
The heel is someone that because of their persona and
their attitude, they are able to get you to rise
(12:07):
up to a level where you want to punch them
in the face because you can't stand them, and you
love to hate them and look for them to do
poorly and celebrate their downfall. Shot in Freud, all right,
last word here we briefly go to the pro bouncy
ball draft. Not because I want to talk about the
pro bouncy ball draft, but because I thought this was
(12:27):
a good story. Bronnie James, that is the son of
lebron I'm told he was a good basketball player years ago,
but now not so much anyway. Bronnie James reiterating recently
that he does not Bronnie James does not see a
scenario in which any GM would select him in the
(12:50):
hopes of landing his daddy. Is he right? So let
me begin by saying it is understandable that this would
be the public position of Bronnie James, that he would
say this. However, to answer the question is he right,
I'm going no on this one. Bronnie James was born
(13:13):
with a silver spoon in his mouth, and while he
kind of won the genetic lottery, he didn't win the
height lottery. This is the family business though. Based on
the measurables and the fact that he was a backup
at USC on a bad team, Bronnie James at the
Pro bouncy Ball draft is the skunk at the combine, Right,
(13:37):
why would a team grab Scrownie Bronnie in the draft? Well,
the only real he's not good. He's not a good player.
The only reason to really do it is straight cash only.
And it all goes back to the goose, the golden goose.
Lebron James is the golden goose. He poops out gold eggs,
gold eggs, and it's the trickle down effect. If you
(13:58):
get Bronnie, you get lebron On and then you get
more TV games, more merchandise sales, influence you matter a
little more. Now this will be tested, right, would Lebron
really go to a place like Utah. The rumor of
the day was the Utah Jazz are considering drafting Bronnie James,
which I find a music but that would be the
(14:19):
ultimate double dog dare call your bluff Lebron scenario. And
for that part of me wants the Utah Jazz to
draft Bronnie James just to call Lebron's bluff, to see
whether or not he would actually go to Salt Lake
on a team that has no chance of being any
(14:40):
more than the Lakers and just losing the first round.
All right, is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you would

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Roll it on as we began the festivities here yapping,
but that meanness sort of timmal performance a forty five
point win in a game facing elimination, a total domination,
no doubt about it, A no doubter man. And so
(17:06):
we'll see what happens in Game seven this week. And
Ya Feemi writes in from Chicago. He says, Hey, mal
Or a plus and a snickers on the Mala monologue.
The NFL is attempting to create storylines with this scheduling, Well,
yeah they are. There's a bunch of stories. We'll get
to some of them later on Jay Dot in Utah
says I would laugh my ass off if my Utah
(17:27):
Jazz drafted Brownie James to the to try to get lebron.
He says, there's absolutely nothing to do on Sundays in
Salt Lake City except to go see CND dancers at
the Strip Joint. They're perfect, and dive bars have fun. Yeah, okay, Well,
Jay Dots lived in Utah a long time. He knows
(17:48):
what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Later, I guess he's not in jail.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Apparently not. I thought they stopped sending people to gym.
Maybe in Utah they send people to gym, but I
don't know. We haven't gotten an update on Jay Dot's
legal situation. We're really like legal advisors on this show.
We can help you out, Jay Dot, if you need advice.
A late night drug tester says, I'm sure Jamal Murray's
elbow doesn't hurt. He says, since he gave away his
(18:13):
heat pack to the referee in Game two, he hasn't
been able to keep up. Was his with his therapy,
he says. He says, I'm sure Murray's elbow does hurt,
all right. Rob in Vegas says solid professional wrestling. Opening monologue, Benjamin,
I love me a good heel. Thank goodness you didn't
go with pro bouncier ball. Shout out Norman in Oklahoma.
(18:37):
That's Randy. I think it was Randy and Norman I
remember correctly, but he moved to Orlando. Call us up
one more time, and then that was that. Jason the
diamond Man says, former wrestling World champion Iron Chic approves
of that a block in our one, so he says yes.
(18:58):
The Burner account rites and says, whatever happened to the
caller formerly known as Gunner aka water Pistol. I'm sure
he's at the Walmart smiling right now. He tried to
warn us about the timber pups. Benjamin, That's true. It's
one of the great one hit wonders in the history
of the show. If you've been with the show a
long time, there are many people that call up for
a couple of weeks or a couple of months, and
(19:21):
they become somewhat of a celebrity on the show. They
get a cult following, and then they vanish. And I
had forgot about Gunner. But Gunner worked at a Walmart
in Minnesota and would call up with all kinds of
Timberwolf propaganda and was just dreadful as a caller. But
we liked him. He kept trying and it just did
(19:42):
not work out. A G Manage in Chicago says, appreciate
the Mallard monologue. I got to say the NBA product
is bad. Who's watching a one twelve sixty eight playoff
game that wasn't quite it is even worse than that.
Who there you go? He says, it's turned itself into
a European league. It's week lazy, incompetent, pretentious, simply pathetic.
(20:05):
G Man says the league all time scorer is a liar,
narcissist and not degoat. Okay, how do you really? Yeah?
Big fan there? Robin Minnesota says there was a time
on your show when the only Timberwolves news was from
that northern Minnesota Walmart worker named Gunner. How about that?
Two people not related in any way, both mentioning the
(20:29):
caller Gunner that the amazing work of Gunner. How bad
was Gunner? Yeah? How soon before the good people of
Minnesota start calling up saying, well, we're gonna lose on
game seven. We're done. We are absolutely done. It's over,
Drew writes in he's playing that cowboy game. He says,
if the Timberwolves win Game seven, I'm going to finally
(20:53):
clip the skin tags off. He says, his own skin
tag's there, and make a portrait of you out of
my skin. Tax very special, very very special to have that.
They would add that to my collection with Doc Mike's
goat head back in the day, and all the weird
(21:14):
stuff the people have sent me over the years. And
it is quite quite the collection of weird stuff. Let's
go to the phones. We'll say hello to Tony in
the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, Hey man.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
I was gonna challenge Marcel to a sing off, but
apparently my singing is found upon. It's kind of odd
because when I sing along with oldies, I sound pretty good,
but when the oldies are off, I sound like the frog.
Ain't that a bitch?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Yeah, that's a big problem. Yeah, that is a problem, Tony.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
I also want to give a shout out to Matt
Rempy and the Texas. Not the Texas but the hockey
team New Yorkers. Yeah, there you go, because they won.
And uh, I don't know if they're familiar with Matt Rempy,
but he's a rookie who's been punching in bunches. I'm
pretty sure you scored a score. I know he's been
(22:10):
punching people out. If you guys want to watch some highlights,
it's pretty good stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Yeah. Yeah, no, I've heard about him. We mentioned him
once or twice on the show. Yeah, he likes to
he likes to throw down. That's like, if you were
a hockey player, you'd be Matt Rempy. That's who you'd be, right.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
I don't think i'd be a stuff as that guy,
but i'd throw a few here and there.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Rock Hard. Have you had any more dreams recently? You
like to tell us about your dreams? Anything recently you
want to share with the class.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
I do have a few, some disturbing and some just
the normal, you know stuff. If you want to hear.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
One, all right, do we want to hear normal or disturbing?
What do we think? Let's go disturbing? Why not?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
So I was at another cholo party, I guess, and
I was it seemed like every group I hung out
with I pissed him off, and eventually the third group
kind of they didn't jump me, but they kind of
assaulted me a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
And then.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
At the end of the party we start everybody just
starts walking in different directions and there's like some alleyways
where some other chogos are throwing bottles at us and stuff.
And the guys that I was walking with Wanda climbing
a thirty foot fence like spiders, and I was thinking
to myself, Man, if I climb this, I'll bust my ass.
And then I pretty much woke up.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
So okay, well, thank you for sharing. I appreciate that.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You're welcome.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
Can I hang up on you? I'm gonna hang up
on you.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
It's not you, thank you, it's the clock. Oh you
hang up on yourself. Go away? Alrighty. I like Tony.
Tony's one of my favorite callers. I think he made
it on there the whole. I don't think we had
a dump in it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
All Right, we press on here and on and on
and on, but it is time for well. It's a
staple of this show. Go ahead, fun fact, putting the
fun in fun fact, because that's what we do here.
That's what we do here. Here's the fun fact of
the hour. A madhouse at Chavez Ravine, all because of
(24:24):
a bobblehead. It was the first show. Hey otani bobble Now,
I don't get this.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
I bet Roberto was out there.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Was he out there?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
God wouldn't. He always gets them and sells them. He's
an entrepreneur with the bobbleheads.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
So even Loraina wants it, but I think she just
wants it to resell to people.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Well that's what Roberto does as well.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah Japan, Well yeah, I would think I've.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Got a I'm not trying to overtake your story here,
I've got a Tani Angels Jedi bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Ooh, you should sell that.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
I should online to see how it is. No, I haven't.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
You should do that.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
But the scene that I was not at Dodger stay,
but the scene at Dodger Stadium was insane. If people
were camping out essentially they they were waiting for the
gates to open, and there was a traffic. There was
like there's always traffic in La, but there were people
lined up. There were so many people because you got
to get in early to get one of the bobbleheads
and all that. Because even though they have fifty three
(25:28):
thousand people, they only give out forty thousand bobbleheads. That's it.
So why I've never understood why not just give if
you have fifty three thousand seats? How hot is it
to have the people in China make an extra thirteen
thousand bobbleheads. I don't get now the thing here, here's
the fun part of this, not that there's traffic and
(25:48):
people were lined up, but they tossed in the golden
ticket version of the bobble hets. The standard bobblehead was
the white jersey, but they tossed in some gray bobbleheads.
There were seventeen hundred gray Road Dodger uniform o Tani bibbleheads,
(26:12):
and those have been going for thousands of dollars on
the secondary market. Let me check right now, do we
have any music with out? Check right now. I'm gonna see.
Let's see what the top price is for an Otawani bobblehead.
Let's see, this is just the game is just a
few hours ago. Let's see here they have auction. I'm
(26:38):
trying to get the most expensive. There's a lot for
three hundred dollars. Oh, here's one for eighteen hundred dollars.
The gray bobblehead eighteen hundred bucks. I knew it a thousand.
Come up, here's a gray one for one thousand, fifteen
hundred dollars. They're right around thousand dollars. The white one
(27:01):
is just like a couple hundred bucks. Here's one for
twenty five hundred bucks. Rare. Otani bobblehead, gray uniform rare.
It's so stupid. Oh, here's one for three thousand dollars.
That must be a rebirt of a bus driver. He
must be selling his for three thousand dollars. Oh, and here,
good news, Eddie. I'm looking at the you mentioned the
(27:23):
Otani Star Wars bobblehead that you said you have. Yes,
that is on sale right now on the secondary market
for eighty dollars, Eddie. So you should sell that for
eighty dollars. I mean, you know, it's an eighty dollars.
You know, you can go out and get a meal
or something like that, you know, buy some popcorns. How
much is the average ticket for a Dodger game? Yeah,
(27:44):
it depends where you sit, but you know, good luck
getting into Oh yeah, that's that's good. I like the music.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Light up, Eddie. I don't think it does.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
That's yeah, that's just all right. That ends my fun
fact of the hour. But isn't that not fun? Come on,
that's fun fun fun fun fun fun. Hey, are you

fueled by flatulence. This is one of the funniest stories.
I thought this was butt crack sports. I thought this
was my guy Barry sports Talk Barry, one of these
(28:41):
characters that goofs around, futs around, makes up stuff. But
apparently this is legit. Someone from the Athletic that's supposedly
a legitimate outfit. They're owned by the New York Times
The Old Gray Lady. So, a nick beat writer for
the Athletic revealed that the Knicks comeback win. The blowout
(29:05):
win was inspired by I'm gonna read this verbatim, an
epic fart that the flatulence loosened up the Knickerbocker locker
room ahead of that blowout win and it put the
players at ease. Wow. Yeah, it's so so stupid. Ah,
(29:32):
this is this is great. Uh. The writer for the
Athletic says the said fart was purely audio and if
you're you're wondering, but as a matter of fact, he
said when it happened, it's strung along for a lot
longer than one might expect. And he mentioned that the
(29:53):
the for a fart of that volume and that context.
So that's that's the reporting, that's the sports riding right there,
that the Knickerbockers there was there was this is a legit.
I'm not even this is a legitimate. No, the fart
heard around the world or the fart smelled round around
(30:13):
the world, that is now it sounds like it's a
rumby tumbly situation right that. But that nothing was spoken,
but people knew that was a sign that the guy
had eaten too many you know, beans, or had too
much soda, and all of a sudden he had an
(30:37):
upset stomach. And then he had to give the old
butt Mazooka a shot, and that that led the Nicks.
So we don't know the name of the player. Who
do you think the Knickerbocker player was that that let
it rip? Because I I'm going with Hartenstein. He looks
(30:59):
like he's a big guy. I bet he has a
lot of farts. Number fifty five in your Nick program,
but number one your heart. That's why I'm going with
Isaiah Hartenstein, former Clipper. He's the guy, He's the guy
that inspired the Knicks. That's what I'm going. I have
(31:20):
no inside information. I just believe that in my heart.
That's what I'm going Anyway, it is the Ben Mallards.
I love that that is being reported and it's just
just absolutely, absolutely great. And I've worked with a few
people who were epic in that department, and they never
inspired me to do good radio. So it must be basketball.
(31:41):
It must not be radio. It must be a basketball
thing that when you hear the airing out of the sphincter,
that that inspires you to play basketball. But it does
not help you when you do a talk show. It
does not help you at all.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Ben, I don't know if you know this or not,
but there is a member of the staff who makes
a lot of news with his flatulence. News well, the
news amongst the folks he works with. Yeah, Lorena knows
all too well who I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Oh my god, are you talking about Lee?
Speaker 3 (32:15):
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, the great lead of the.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Great Leader lap Yeah, right, is so bad? That sounds
like an HR.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
I was going to say, yeah, yeah, you don't have
to put up with that, you.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Know, Lorena, I'm gonna build a wall. How about this,
I think you should get at a gas mask.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Yeah, that's actually a better idea.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Lead A lap should call the Knicks. He's very proud
of it, is very proud. But Lee should go to
New York and he can be like a special advisor.
He can be an assistant coach of the Knicks. And
then you can fart on demand and then like, the
Knicks will never lose another game, right, I mean they
start here and that Bark and Spider and they get
(33:02):
all excited. They are gonna win again. We're gonna have
the equine pickam because there's kind of a big race
in Baltimore on Saturday, the second leg of the Triple Crown.
So we'll get to that. But here's the who am
I game. Nuggets guard Jamal Murray this postseason is averaging
