Speaker 3 (00:46):
What was the Uber eats order for the Timberwolves to
chow down on victory in La La Land? And how
do you evaluate podcaster JJ Reddick blowing a gasket over
questions about his coaching skills.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You handle it.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
About as well as you'd expect someone who doesn't know
what they're doing to handle it.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Our lead story is a feel good story for America.
And I don't know anyone that's not happy about this. Man,
It's this a great night in sports.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Awesome. Hellllelujah, hellllelujah. Yeah, we shout out.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Skid Row Adjacent, skid Row Adjacent that was the location
for Game five of the NBA plus memory Lakers in five,
Lakers in five. That's what you told me, you ben
the Lakers, then they're gonna win it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Fun. They lost that first one, but they're gonna win it.
Fuck all right.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So five game series five Game five, NBA playoff opening round,
you had Hookah Luca and the Lakers trying to stave
off elimination, to avoid termination from the postseason against Anthony
Edwards and the tim.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Wolves.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And yeah, they were trying to advance to a higher level.
So I don't know if you were watching it, and
I assume you were, but maybe not. Maybe you were
not watching, not listening. You don't know what happened there,
but we were, and the most shocking of things took place.
There was a metamorphosis that happened in that playoff game.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Rudy go Bear.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It was Rudy go bye bye Lakers, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy
Rudy playoff career high twenty seven points at twenty four rebounds.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I ticked their ass.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Rudy Gobert kicked your ass. How embarrassing is that? Oh
my god, that is even better than I could have
possibly imagined, and a former Laker, Julius Randall, who he
thought was trash, had twenty three and was better down
the stretch, was better down the stretch, and the team
(04:32):
that was superior the better team.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
The Timberwolves have advanced.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
In the NBA playoffs one oh three to ninety six,
and the Lakers are dead.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The Lakers are dead.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Anthony Edwards wasn't even good, had a quiet night.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And it didn't matter. As Minnesota has done it.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
They won three straight game games to eliminate Lebron and
Bronnie James. First time ever a father son combo has
been eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs,
and huk Luka he might show up next year at
seven hundred pounds, says he's out. First postseason as a
Laker and he's gone. And after winning a playoff round
(05:21):
in back to back seasons that has only happened one
other time for that franchise, the Wolves will now rest
up and they will face the winner of Houston and
Golden State.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That series has been extended to a sixth game.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
As Golden State forfeited a very bold move by Steve
Fourmore on that later, Steve Kerr conceding in the middle
of the game, the game was over, did not try
to win. That should be some kind of violation, I
would think, But you know, you got to have a
commission with balls to do that. The NBA does not
have that, so I would imagine that will not happen.
But let us discuss. Let's focus in on this glorious
(05:59):
night night for sports in America and North American rule
in the world. The Lakers are done so better stories
in the losing locker room. Let's begin with that. As
we discussed the question who gets the biggest piece of
the Lakers purple and gold accountability case of DIA because
they're Lazis.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So I've got Nascar, I hop and opera, and.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
We will combine all of these things together and we
will make an all inclusive trip to Cankun because that's
where the Laker players will be going.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
They won't be going to the second round. They'll be
going to can Coon.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Now a Lebron, James and Luca side by side, they
can enjoy and all you can eat special, all right,
all you can eat special in that case of d
here and it's a seafood actually it's a seafood case
of da I heard when I was younger that a
fish stinks from the head down. So you don't need
(06:57):
a best you told me you don't need you don't
need anyone.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
As long as you have.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Luca and Lebron, you're gonna win every close game in
the fourth quarter. No one will stop them. Oh, by god,
could you have been more wrong? What happened to that
championship pedigree?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
What happened to that? Are we allowed to say Lebron
looks cooked? Are we allowed to say that? Is that allowed?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Or am I gonna get in trouble for that? Am
I gonna get hit by lightning? From the sports radio gods?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Lebron looks cooked? Loser capital l as a Laker. What
a failure?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Lebron's been no championships as a Laker, more first round
exits than anything. An absolute failure as a Laker, Lebron James,
you're not supposed to say that, though, And those two,
Lebron and Luca, playing slow and dumb in crunch time Minnesota,
(07:53):
with the game on the line, dominating in physicality, they
were the faster team. They they won the fifty to
fifty balls, they secured the loose balls. They took advantage
of the Lakers' inability to match them mono amano.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And in the game that was played here on Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The Lakers in the fourth quarter, needing to win or
that's it, shot thirty percent in the fourth quarter thirty percent.
Lebron and Luca took ten shots. They made just three
of them combined for eight points. They were outscored by
Julius Randall. How does that taste? How does that that
taste good? That's better? Right, that's better. Julius Randall outscored
(08:38):
Lebron and Luca combined in the final twelve minutes of
the game.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And overall in this series. That is stat on TNT.
The Wolves were plus forty two in the fourth quarter
of the five games.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
They outscored the Lakers by forty two points in the
fourth quarter of these games.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Wowsers.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Now, to use the NASCAR terminal. As you're watching this series,
it appeared the Lakers, for some reason, we're driving their
stock car with restrictor plates on.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
While the Wolves were going zoom zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
Broom broom, broom, broom, broom, they upshifted. Is what they did.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They absolutely upshifted and we're just clearly the superior team
in this one. And my god, all, let's hear from
some of the participants. Jump over to Lebron first, and
we'll hear from someone else later. But here's Lebron. The
question is Lebron, you're old, you look like you can't
play anymore. The games passed you by and crunch time.
(09:43):
Will you finally retire? Lebron James? Will you finally retire?
Let's go to the audio.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Tape penter intern off season on a roster that has
lookadotcis that secured the number three seeds in the West
in a really tough West this year? What type of
thoughts does that give you a about your end game?
And you know, how many more years will we see you?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's a long question. I don't know. I don't have
the answer to that.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's something I sit down with my family, my wife, and.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
My support group and kind of just talk through it.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And see what happens, and and then I just have
a conversations with myself on how long I want to
continue to play.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I don't know the answer to that right now, to
be honest.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So yeah, it's Lebron's way of saying, I want everyone
to talk about me for the.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Next three weeks.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I want everyone to say, well, I play and it's
funny though, when Lebron says, hey, I need to get
with my wife and my family, that means his teammate, right,
because one of his family members is on the effing
team because you made him be on the effing team
and he sucks.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Holy crap, does Bronni James blow and he's on your team? Lebron,
because of you, you could have had an actual good
NBA player that could have been a bench player that
would have helped you out, but you had to put
your sucked bag kid on the team.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
How's that taste, Lebron? HA you loser all right now?
Pace two? What was the uber Eats order? If you will, in.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Honor of Femi in Minnesota, who's smiling from you to ear?
What was the uber Eats order for the Timberwolves to
child down on an easy five game series win over
the pathetic Lakers. The answer, I hop is the answer.
The Wolves child down on the Rudy tu d fresh
and fruity Rudy Gobert combo. The Lakers pathetic defense turned
(11:39):
Rudy go Bear.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
The butt of all jokes in that sport.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Rudy Gobert into a combo of Shaquille O'Neil and keem
Olaijahwan in that game. So you got your two pancakes,
you got your sweet syrupy fruit topping, got the strawberries
hell Minnesota tossed the blueberry topping on there. They had
the mixed barry, they had the apple. Sent him in
the whole thing, two eggs, a couple of pieces of
(12:08):
bacon on the side. Rudy Gobar was stupefying in this game,
and he left the Lakers in honor of the late
great Brian Wheeler, mystified, mesmerized, and mortified.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was a stunner, and Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Did everything they could to keep the game from going
their way.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
They missed eighteen.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Straight three balls, eighteen straight three point shots they missed.
They still won the game. Anthony Edwards had small D,
not big D, small D energy. He took nineteen shots,
he missed fourteen of them. He shot twenty six percent
in a closeout game, and it didn't matter because Rudy
go Bear was Shaquille O'Neil, un real, unreal? All right, now,
(12:55):
last word here, So to the blow up heard round
the hoops world. This is actually pregame before the Lakers
went out there and embarrassed the franchise yet again getting
stomped on by the Wolves. Podcaster masquerading doing cosplay as
a coach, JJ Reddick stormed out of his news conference
after he was asked if he would lean on his
assistance when it comes to fourth quarter substitutions, and Reddick
(13:20):
barked back.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
At some faceless reporter.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Are you saying that because I'm in experience with a
question mark? You think I don't talk to my assistance
about substitutions.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Every single time out?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Now?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
The reporter then try to calm the situation down and
said a lot of coaches talked to assistants and try
to soften the hot head Reddick. But well, rather than me,
just I can give you the playboy bet here's JJ Reddick.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Listen to this weird back and forth. Listen close.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
What do you recall about your thought process in the
moment sticking with the five you stuck with in the
fourth quarter the other day? And is there an assistant
or someone maybe they chill lean on tonight maybe to
try to get you know, some other guys involved if
that opportunity presents.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Are you saying that because I'm I'm inexperienced and that
was an inexperienced decision that I made. Do you think
I don't talk to my assistance about substitutions every single
time out?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
No? I just think there's a lot of coaches lean
on their assistance in those situations.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
As do a lack every single time. That's a weird assumption.
I watch it drops the mic Ah walks away.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
All right, So how do you evaluate that sound by
JJ Reddick blowing a gasket over his coaching skills. Well,
it's par for the course. JJ knows he's an embarrassment, right,
Everyone knows. JJ's an embarrassment to the Lakers. It's an
embarrassment to basketball. He's Lebron's podcast buddy, Like, I'm as
qualified to coach in the NBA I do podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Why don't I coach the Clippers? Why not?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's so embarrassing and he got out coached by nobody
can even named Minnesota's coach, This guy Finch, Nobody can
name him. But it's part for the course with JJ Redick.
Everything with Reddick is an Italian opera. He's the prima Donna.
He's temperamental, he's arrogant. He thinks he invented basketball. I
think he still believes he's doing a show like on
(15:16):
like first take with Steven A. When he talks to
the media, he's overly dramatic. He's self absorbed. He plays
to the cameras. And the good news is we can
say now officially, JJ Reddick as a coach is the
same as JJ Reddick as a player. The guy missed
every big shot with the Lob City Clippers when it mattered,
and as coach of the Lakers, he embarrassed himself in
(15:37):
the playff.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Of course, he was just.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Following the marching orders of Lebron James. His lead coach
is Lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
He's the assistant.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But man a lot and it's it's it's really is inflammation.
JJ Reddick is suffering from inflammation, nerve damage. That struck
a nerve. It's a sorp subject. He knows, he doesn't
he's not qualified to be a head coach. He didn't
pay his dues to become a head coach. He jumped
in line and that was a totally fair question to ask.
(16:07):
Reddick was the first and is the only coach, the
only one in the NBA to play all five guys
in the entire half of a playoff game. It had
never happened, and he did something ridiculous. Again, it's like
an fu to Rob Polink is very bizarre. What's going
on because like Lebron's kind of shadow running everything, but
(16:28):
it's like they're sending these messages out in this game.
The first person off the bench was Maxi Kleebah, who
you probably don't even know who was on a team.
He was trashed the Mavericks tossed in in that Luca trade.
The guy hadn't even practiced, according to the TNT broadcast
with the Lakers, but he came in there like the
first guy off the bench, which was the bird to
(16:51):
Rob Polenka, hadn't even practice and not a guy not
a game we talked about practice. And then you got
Jackson Hayes, who is so far in JJ Reddick's doghouse
and really Lebron's doghouse that he got a DNP coach's decision,
didn't get off the bench. He's got hemorrhoids, right, now
he's getting medication. He's getting medication hemorrhoids from sitting on
(17:15):
the bench.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I mean, it's so good, it's so great.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
All right, let's hear one more from JJ Reddick. This
was postgame. Here's Reddick doing some evaluation. I'm sure he's
going to say how bad he did. Unless he doesn't,
let's hear.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I'll use my own thoughts to evaluate myself, and I'll
use what my players say and what my coaching staff
says to evaluate. But you know, I know I can
be better, and I know I will get better. I
don't necessarily take any satisfaction from how the year went.
(17:51):
That's not to say I'm not proud of what the
group was able to do and how we're able to
figure things out on the fly and put ourselves in
a position to have home court in the first round.
But there's always there's always ways to get better, and
I can I can get a lot better.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, I'm sure your players will give you a big
thumbs up. You sat most of them on the bench
the entire time.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
You battle to get home courts, so you can lose
two home games. Some home court advantage, you losers.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Oh, it's so good. Oh my god, that is great,
So I'd fire him. I would fire JJ Reddick. The
Lakers don't really have an owner, they don't, you know,
so that won't happen. JJ should have never been hired.
I'd fire him. Let him go back and hang out
with Stephen A. Smith and give hot takes, you know,
rip old NBA players, old men say they were plumbers
(18:45):
and all that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Do that? Go ahead, JJ, Yeah, that'd be the way
to go. Jeez. Oh, it's how great when people like
that lose? Is that not? One of the great things
about being some of that fallows sports?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
When a holes lose like JJ Reddick and the Lakers,
is that good?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Man? Does that taste good? That is so good? Delicious? Delicious?
Delicious delicious?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
It is the Ben Mallard Show. If you'd like to
be part of this, you can join us right now.

glass of milk right now? All great? Is that? All right? Hey?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
For the rest of you, I want to celebrate this
Festivus of greatness eight seven seven.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Ninety nine on fuck.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It would be wrong, It would be wrong to pour
salt on the wound.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You should not do that.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Shod in Freude, Shine in Freuda eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox The number A Little Emoji payback, A
little Emoji payback?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What is that all about. We'll get to it and
we will do it next.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox It's Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
Up all night, every night, working the third shift. We
thank you for hanging out with us. If you're up
working or just having insomnia. You worked that second shift
and you're standing up relaxing after work, whatever it might be,
(20:25):
and we're here for you all night, every night, podcast

Speaker 2 (20:32):

Say a little Ben? That's right, Say a little Ben.
At Ben Mahler on Ex Lorraine, you can find her
FSR Tech Queen, FSR Tech Queen and Cooper Loop.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I don't know why Coop's in a bad mood.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I can't imagine why, but you can sail it to
Coop at uh Bronco fan, that's a Bronco fan. As
we are celebrating one of the great nights in sports,
Lebron James has been decommissioned for the NBA playoff.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yes, well, he's actually gonna go to.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
His mansion in la and then he'll go to his
mansion in Ohio, and then he'll go to some votes somewhere.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But let's get back to the show, all right.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
We will get back to the show, and also the
Golden State, which I think is an equally amazing story.
Steve Kirk gave up on a playoff game and no
one seems to be bothered by that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Again, I'm getting older. I just had a birthday this week.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I mean, I was not taught in sports that you
ever give up on a playoff game, and he did it,
and no one seems to really care.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
How did that happen?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
How did we get to the place where an NBA
coach does not give a crap about a playoff game
and gives up midway through, says, no, Moss throws the spot.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And that's acceptable.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That that's wild to me that nobody like I would
be upset if I was, I cared about the Golden
State words. The backups got close and then they could
have put the starters back in.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And they didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
That is unimaginable. And don't you have to pull for
the Rockets now to win that series? They probably won't,
but you have to pull for them, right, that's nuts.
We did start here with the Lakers, and we're commenting
on your your thoughts on that as they are out.
Malard prop guy rights since says the Malard militia is
(22:38):
relieved that you seem to enjoy your belated birthday gift.
I hope that you think of us often as you
enjoy and I enjoyed during the year. Well, thank you,
malaprop and really thank you for those those wonderful songs
that were just outstanding.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Love them so much.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Mister Luciano writes in and says, as a Laker fan,
I give this Mallard monologue a scale of one to ten,
a fifteen out of one to ten with some Laker tiers.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
On the side.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Ever since Lebron joined the Lakers, the team has absolutely sucked.
Get rid of them from mister Luciano a late night
drug tester, right, since this is the Lakers lost on
purpose only to help save the environment by not having
to fly back to Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, they're worried about that.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
They would have lost Game six, think of all the
airline fuel and the money they saved. Not necessarily true,
because all the players will be flying around on different
planes to exotic locations in one way or another. Ferg
Dog says, get out your top hats and brooms and
men a salta. It's a gentleman's sweep. It's also the
most embarrassing performance by a three seed in the first
(23:47):
round in NBA history, a new low for the pathetic
Fakers franchise. I saw this stat somewhere, and I'm not
sure where. I saw a lot of things they said.
This is the first time in the history of that
franchise that they've ever been a top three seed.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And lost in the first round.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
This is the most embarrassing in Laker history they had
anytime they had been good enough to be a top
three seed, they had never lost in the first round.
You can no longer say that you can't Andy in
Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says I'm loving it. That's got to
be the best battle of monologue of the year. Give
yourself a Benny, Benny, all right, what else do we have?
(24:24):
Page down, King Roy writes, since your monologue just proves
that the Lakers run la, he says, right into the ground.
The Clippers are getting ready to beat the Nuggets, and
you are celebrating. You're in a great mood, I am,
King Roy. I'm a wonderful mood here. It is a
great great Mitzvah is what it is. Joe the ghost
(24:46):
unner in Ohio rights and he's out chasing poltergeist, he says, helpathetic.
The Lakers sound like a new franchise. Jerry Buss is
trying to dig out of the grave as we speak.
Right now, Tom from Fullerton with a.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Gif of what I am doing right now? Who else
do you have pitched now? Supermarket? Steve writes in he's
no longer on strike, He.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Says, Duke should take back JJ Reddick his degree. He
is an awful representation of how smart you have to
be to attend Duke super Market, Steve says, refusing to
play your only center while the other teams center goes
for twenty seven and twenty four.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Is pretty effing stupid. I thought it was brilliant. I
thought it was great. Hey, listen, I'm stubborn. I'm stubborn too,
so I understand stubborn.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And if you think JJ Reddick's really making the decisions here,
come on. He was a podcast co host who got
the job because he did a podcast with Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
That's why he has the job. Hello, Big grig Rob
from the Highways and Byways of North America.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I've met him in Kansas City, he writes in good Man,
Big grig Rob. He says, Oh, how the mighty have fallen?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
The king is dead.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
These la fakers took the fraud bait hook line and sinker.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I think it's I think you got that out of order.
This is the goat. This is the guy who is
better than Jordan. There you go, Bendy.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Brian Wheeler reference earns you a doctorate tonight with honor.
I love, but I miss Brian with a great man
and one of the wonderful people that I've met on
my road in life.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It was the voice of the Trail Blazers for a
number of years.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He was a voice of the Blazers when they actually
had good teams. So it's a long time ago. Chipping
the q'es rights and says a plus on the Malay monologue.
I could laugh at the fate of the Lakers, but
unless my Rockets somehow I'd play the Warriors in the
next couple of games, they'll be sitting at home just
like the Lakers, unless Houston ends.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Up winning it all. It's a moot point to me. Well, yeah,
the Rockets shouldn't win Game six.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
However, if you think there's something called karma, you believe
in that kind of thing. Steve Kerr is certainly testing
that theory. I seem to remember a couple years back,
the Warriors gave up on a game in Memphis, conceded
a game to the Grizzlies.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And then they came back and won.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
So it has happened before, but that doesn't mean it's
going to happen again. Terry in England is riding in.
He's wearing his full brock Purty onesie, and he's got
his forty nine er diaper on. He says, Malar's strutting
like a peacock in full flow, destroying lefraud and his
(27:39):
Laker harem, So he says. Gunner in Minnesota writes in
he says it's over. Bye Bye King hand the crown over.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You're done, time to retire.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I'm sure Gunner Lebron's listening in his three hundred thousand
dollars automobile as he's driving around LA.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
He's listening to the show right now.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
He's saying, well, I wasn't going to retire, but Gunner
at the wall in northern Minnesota wants me to retire.
So I'm out. That's it. I'm gone see you later.
Bye bye. All right, let's go now, get a little
flavor on the state of the Lakers. The sky is falling,
and let's start out with Mike in the South Bay
(28:19):
there in Manhattan Beach. Mike, welcome your first up here.
It is the Ben Maler Show. Welcome Mike on Fox.
Mike is speechless. He doesn't know what to say. He's bewildered,
he's dishevel he's bedraggled.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Mike krazzled. I don't know. I went to him. I
don't hear him. Did he fall asleep? It's too early
to fall asleep. I mean usually it's later in the
show people fall asleep. Isn't that usually how that works?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
If you said Mike's a feisty caller, I thought he
would throw some fire. Now let's go to we'll get
rid of him. Let's go to Dennis in Sundyego. Hello, Dennis, welcome,
be less Ben.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
You all right?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
What's that? Dennis? What's that it said?
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Blest Ben?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Are you okay?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I hear cackling a lot down here in things wonder wonderful?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yes, I think the mighty the mighty six.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Remember you remember all the listers that go on to
Fox and become stars. We remember everybody down here.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Ben, Ben?
Speaker 7 (29:25):
What happened with you and the what happened with you
in the Lakers? Are you all right? Are you? You're
cackling like a mental patient about them losing and you
watch that.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
You got a talk show to do, Dennis. I'm doing.
I get I get you.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
I heard all the emails from England and all the
other places too. Hey Ben, who who after who? After
Brownie or Brandy James or at fifty five? Who would
have you taken if you were the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Play?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Ronnie James should not be on the roster. You should
have released him. You should not be on the team.
You gave him a guarantee contract. The fact that he
was taking up a roster that is embarrassing.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Who else should have they taken?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Who else have anyone? At this point, there's a million.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Basketball players out there. Bronnie James on the team. You're
because of his because of his kid? Yes, we're just okay,
you are well, you at loose.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You know you're a little person, Dennis. You're you're aware
you're a little person. You're aware of that.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Yeah, so so so who who should have they taken?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Literally anyone?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Dennis, And you know that, you know that you're defending nepotism.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You think it's.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Somebody Lebron was Lebron? Just admit right now, Dennis, admit
right now. Lebron was exposed. They had no bench, and
they they carried his his suck bag kid at the
didn't play d n P coach's decision. You could add
somebody on the team that could have played.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Sure, I'm not sure if it was a family member
that hurts you or somebody, but that sounds like some
deep seated hate.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Okay, again, you're doing I understand. I understand you don't
want to address the issue, and I don't blame Listen, Dennis, I.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Don't you're making this about me and I appreciate that, Dennis.
I know I'm more interesting than the Lakers. I understand
I'm more interesting than the Lakers. Coming well, I'm glad
that you're making it about me. And that's called moving,
that's called it, that's called the distraction, is what that is?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
You laugh like you laugh that JJ ended. You hate
JJ for for for adequately calling out a reporter that
was definitely calling out a.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Reporter that asked a legitimate question.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
He's the worst coach in NBA history and he gets
called out on it, and and he's so sensitive, he's
such a softy JJ Reddick. He can't he has no diplomacy,
he can't answer the question. He thinks he's on ESPN's
first pake when he's the coach of the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's unbelievable. The answer is so embarrassing. And here's the
great thing. Listen, Dennis, I understand, Dennis, you probably have
your Laker face paying on right now. You're all excited
about that.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
So you're okay with the Just for the record here,
this is your typical low information Laker historian. So you're
okay with the Lakers having Bronnie James Kidd on the team.
Who took up a roster spot. You're okay with the
Lakers having Bronnie James podcaster his podcaster buddy.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
By the way, Laurada, I know you're Laurada. Why are
you leaving him up? By the way, I do not
understand me.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
At some point the battle, Ben, at some point I'll
get somebody that will actually know how to do this.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
My god. All right, anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
I mean, I gotta teach radio now.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I teach like a radio class how to properly do
talk radio. I'll write a book. I guess I have
to do that. Oh my god, unbelievable. Anyway, all right,
it is the Ben Mahler Show. We'll take more of
these riveting phone calls from Laker fanboys. I'm honored, though,
that you are moving the conversation away from where it
should be at lebron Bronnie JJ Reddick, and you're making
(32:59):
this about me.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I'm flattered. I know I'm kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I get it, I understand it, my guy. All Right,
anyway is the Ben Malishow. Will take your calls. You
want to be part here, and we have the emoji.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
This is great. This story. We will say this is
one push this back.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
A little bit, but it is a doozy all right,
Emoji payback.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
It is so so good. We'll get to that. But
time now for the who am I?
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Game?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And here it is? Who am I?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Game? The only players who in NBA history with twenty
five or more points, twenty or more rebounds while shooting
seventy five percent or greater in an elimination game are
Rudy Gobert of the Wolves and me. Again, the only
players in NBA history with twenty five or more points,
(33:46):
twenty or more rebounds, seventy five percent field goal percentage
are greater in an elimination game are Rudy Gobert of
the Wolves and me.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Who Who am I? That is the question the answer.
We'll get to it and we will do it next.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
And now back to the gas Bockery, Well, back to it.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
We were celebrating one of the great knights in sports,
Lebron who had hijacked the Laker franchise has been eliminated
yet again, and they were talking about championship. Lebron didn't
win one as a Laker, no championships, bounced out of
the first round pretty much seemingly every other year. You
look at the math on that well three three times
in recent years, and didn't even make the playoffs a
(35:23):
couple of times, so really an abject failure anyway you
slice it. As a Laker, they thought they were getting
an exciting, astonishing, dramatic player and well, there's been a
lot of drama, but the.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Winning has not been there has not been there.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Somewhere in Dallas, a guy named Nico Harrison poured one
out as the Lakers. Luca was hobbling around in the
game in the second half, had a bad back, and
the Lakers went down to the Minnesota basketball team, which
is advanced to the second round of the playoffs, but
time to pay off the who Am I?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Game?
Speaker 3 (35:58):
The only players NBA history with twenty five or more points,
twenty or more rebounds on seventy five percent or more
field goal percentage shooting in an elimination game are Rudy
Gobert of America's team, the Timberwolves, and me, who am I?
That is the question? And what is the answer? And
(36:22):
does anyone know? Courtesy Flusher is going with the kool
Aid Man? Is his answer? Scrooge says NBA superstar Tracy
mc reynolds is the answer, or Tracy reynolds rather?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Malard prop guy says it's Ben Maler who's twenty nine
years old.
Speaker 2 (36:39):

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Who else?
Speaker 3 (38:12):
Tom from Fullerton says, Craig Ironhead Hayward is the answer?
Speaker 2 (38:17):

do you have an answer? By the way, you have
an answer?
Speaker 6 (39:01):
Lorrain, Yeah, my guess was going to be the greatest
to do at Shaquille O'Neal as well.

Be okay, you're going with Shaq is it Shaquille O'Neal?
I wrong, No, no, no, the correct answer. The only
players in NBA history with twenty five or more points,
twenty or more rebounds seventy five percent of greater shooting
in an elimination game are Rudy Gobert and Wilt Chamberlain,
Will Chamberlain, Holy cram Man. All right, Samantha writes, Sin says,
(39:30):
one step closer to having the plague that is Lebron
retire housting that sham coach and getting the team back

I wanted to mention it. The emoji payback. Mark Williams,
the guy that was traded the Lakers. They gave him
back to the Charlotte Hornets after the Lakers were eliminated,
(39:52):
he posted a smiley face emoji. He posted a smiley
face emoji. That is a mooji payback. That's salty amoj
I love it, Mark Williams.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
That's so good. Got you with an emoji,
We go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome.
Speaker 3 (00:02):
It's our number one, and a happy May to you.
It's the first day of May, a May day indeed.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
And here in our number one, it's all.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
About the celebration. Now people have said that I'm gonna
overdose on schadenfreude. Here in our number one, the Wolves
and Lakers turn out the lasts, the parties over. Lebron
and Luca only won one playoff game.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
That's it. That's it.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Who gets the biggest piece of the Lakers purple and
gold accountability case of dia as the Luca Lakers are
kicked out of the playoff party.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Also in honor of Femi in Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
What was the Uber eats order for the Timberwolves to
chow down on victory in La La Land? And how
do you evaluate podcaster JJ Reddick blowing a gasket over
questions about his coaching skills.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
You handle it.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
About as well as you'd expect someone who doesn't know
what they're doing to handle it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
We'll talk about that and much more right now here.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
It is our number one. If you had the Lakers
advancing in the NBA playoffs, you're a loser. Tim Wolves
well gone in not begating of another night of the

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Our lead story is a feel good story for America.
And I don't know anyone that's not happy about this. Man,
It's this a great night in sports.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Awesome. Hellllelujah, hellllelujah. Yeah, we shout out.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Skid Row Adjacent, skid Row Adjacent that was the location
for Game five of the NBA plus memory Lakers in five,
Lakers in five. That's what you told me, you ben
the Lakers, then they're gonna win it.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Fun. They lost that first one, but they're gonna win it.
Fuck all right.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
So five game series five Game five, NBA playoff opening round,
you had Hookah Luca and the Lakers trying to stave
off elimination, to avoid termination from the postseason against Anthony
Edwards and the tim.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Wolves.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And yeah, they were trying to advance to a higher level.
So I don't know if you were watching it, and
I assume you were, but maybe not. Maybe you were
not watching, not listening. You don't know what happened there,
but we were, and the most shocking of things took place.
There was a metamorphosis that happened in that playoff game.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Rudy go Bear.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
It was Rudy go bye bye Lakers, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy
Rudy playoff career high twenty seven points at twenty four rebounds.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
I ticked their ass.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Rudy Gobert kicked your ass. How embarrassing is that? Oh
my god, that is even better than I could have
possibly imagined, and a former Laker, Julius Randall, who he
thought was trash, had twenty three and was better down
the stretch, was better down the stretch, and the team
(04:32):
that was superior the better team.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
The Timberwolves have advanced.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
In the NBA playoffs one oh three to ninety six,
and the Lakers are dead.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The Lakers are dead.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Anthony Edwards wasn't even good, had a quiet night.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
And it didn't matter. As Minnesota has done it.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
They won three straight game games to eliminate Lebron and
Bronnie James. First time ever a father son combo has
been eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs,
and huk Luka he might show up next year at
seven hundred pounds, says he's out. First postseason as a
Laker and he's gone. And after winning a playoff round
(05:21):
in back to back seasons that has only happened one
other time for that franchise, the Wolves will now rest
up and they will face the winner of Houston and
Golden State.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That series has been extended to a sixth game.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
As Golden State forfeited a very bold move by Steve
Fourmore on that later, Steve Kerr conceding in the middle
of the game, the game was over, did not try
to win. That should be some kind of violation, I
would think, But you know, you got to have a
commission with balls to do that. The NBA does not
have that, so I would imagine that will not happen.
But let us discuss. Let's focus in on this glorious
(05:59):
night night for sports in America and North American rule
in the world. The Lakers are done so better stories
in the losing locker room. Let's begin with that. As
we discussed the question who gets the biggest piece of
the Lakers purple and gold accountability case of DIA because
they're Lazis.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
So I've got Nascar, I hop and opera, and.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
We will combine all of these things together and we
will make an all inclusive trip to Cankun because that's
where the Laker players will be going.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
They won't be going to the second round. They'll be
going to can Coon.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
Now a Lebron, James and Luca side by side, they
can enjoy and all you can eat special, all right,
all you can eat special in that case of d
here and it's a seafood actually it's a seafood case
of da I heard when I was younger that a
fish stinks from the head down. So you don't need
(06:57):
a best you told me you don't need you don't
need anyone.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
As long as you have.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Luca and Lebron, you're gonna win every close game in
the fourth quarter. No one will stop them. Oh, by god,
could you have been more wrong? What happened to that
championship pedigree?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
What happened to that? Are we allowed to say Lebron
looks cooked? Are we allowed to say that? Is that allowed?
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Or am I gonna get in trouble for that? Am
I gonna get hit by lightning? From the sports radio gods?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Lebron looks cooked? Loser capital l as a Laker. What
a failure?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Lebron's been no championships as a Laker, more first round
exits than anything. An absolute failure as a Laker, Lebron James,
you're not supposed to say that, though, And those two,
Lebron and Luca, playing slow and dumb in crunch time Minnesota,
(07:53):
with the game on the line, dominating in physicality, they
were the faster team. They they won the fifty to
fifty balls, they secured the loose balls. They took advantage
of the Lakers' inability to match them mono amano.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
And in the game that was played here on Wednesday night.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
The Lakers in the fourth quarter, needing to win or
that's it, shot thirty percent in the fourth quarter thirty percent.
Lebron and Luca took ten shots. They made just three
of them combined for eight points. They were outscored by
Julius Randall. How does that taste? How does that that
taste good? That's better? Right, that's better. Julius Randall outscored
(08:38):
Lebron and Luca combined in the final twelve minutes of
the game.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And overall in this series. That is stat on TNT.
The Wolves were plus forty two in the fourth quarter
of the five games.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
They outscored the Lakers by forty two points in the
fourth quarter of these games.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Wowsers.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Now, to use the NASCAR terminal. As you're watching this series,
it appeared the Lakers, for some reason, we're driving their
stock car with restrictor plates on.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
While the Wolves were going zoom zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
Broom broom, broom, broom, broom, they upshifted. Is what they did.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They absolutely upshifted and we're just clearly the superior team
in this one. And my god, all, let's hear from
some of the participants. Jump over to Lebron first, and
we'll hear from someone else later. But here's Lebron. The
question is Lebron, you're old, you look like you can't
play anymore. The games passed you by and crunch time.
(09:43):
Will you finally retire? Lebron James? Will you finally retire?
Let's go to the audio.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Tape penter intern off season on a roster that has
lookadotcis that secured the number three seeds in the West
in a really tough West this year? What type of
thoughts does that give you a about your end game?
And you know, how many more years will we see you?
Speaker 2 (10:05):
It's a long question. I don't know. I don't have
the answer to that.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
It's something I sit down with my family, my wife, and.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
My support group and kind of just talk through it.
Speaker 6 (10:19):
And see what happens, and and then I just have
a conversations with myself on how long I want to
continue to play.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I don't know the answer to that right now, to
be honest.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So yeah, it's Lebron's way of saying, I want everyone
to talk about me for the.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Next three weeks.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I want everyone to say, well, I play and it's
funny though, when Lebron says, hey, I need to get
with my wife and my family, that means his teammate, right,
because one of his family members is on the effing
team because you made him be on the effing team
and he sucks.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He's terrible.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Holy crap, does Bronni James blow and he's on your team? Lebron,
because of you, you could have had an actual good
NBA player that could have been a bench player that
would have helped you out, but you had to put
your sucked bag kid on the team.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
How's that taste, Lebron? HA you loser all right now?
Pace two? What was the uber Eats order? If you will, in.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Honor of Femi in Minnesota, who's smiling from you to ear?
What was the uber Eats order for the Timberwolves to
child down on an easy five game series win over
the pathetic Lakers. The answer, I hop is the answer.
The Wolves child down on the Rudy tu d fresh
and fruity Rudy Gobert combo. The Lakers pathetic defense turned
(11:39):
Rudy go Bear.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
The butt of all jokes in that sport.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Rudy Gobert into a combo of Shaquille O'Neil and keem
Olaijahwan in that game. So you got your two pancakes,
you got your sweet syrupy fruit topping, got the strawberries
hell Minnesota tossed the blueberry topping on there. They had
the mixed barry, they had the apple. Sent him in
the whole thing, two eggs, a couple of pieces of
(12:08):
bacon on the side. Rudy Gobar was stupefying in this game,
and he left the Lakers in honor of the late
great Brian Wheeler, mystified, mesmerized, and mortified.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
He was a stunner, and Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Did everything they could to keep the game from going
their way.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
They missed eighteen.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Straight three balls, eighteen straight three point shots they missed.
They still won the game. Anthony Edwards had small D,
not big D, small D energy. He took nineteen shots,
he missed fourteen of them. He shot twenty six percent
in a closeout game, and it didn't matter because Rudy
go Bear was Shaquille O'Neil, un real, unreal? All right, now,
(12:55):
last word here, So to the blow up heard round
the hoops world. This is actually pregame before the Lakers
went out there and embarrassed the franchise yet again getting
stomped on by the Wolves. Podcaster masquerading doing cosplay as
a coach, JJ Reddick stormed out of his news conference
after he was asked if he would lean on his
assistance when it comes to fourth quarter substitutions, and Reddick
(13:20):
barked back.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
At some faceless reporter.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Are you saying that because I'm in experience with a
question mark? You think I don't talk to my assistance
about substitutions.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Every single time out?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Now?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
The reporter then try to calm the situation down and
said a lot of coaches talked to assistants and try
to soften the hot head Reddick. But well, rather than me,
just I can give you the playboy bet here's JJ Reddick.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Listen to this weird back and forth. Listen close.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
What do you recall about your thought process in the
moment sticking with the five you stuck with in the
fourth quarter the other day? And is there an assistant
or someone maybe they chill lean on tonight maybe to
try to get you know, some other guys involved if
that opportunity presents.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Are you saying that because I'm I'm inexperienced and that
was an inexperienced decision that I made. Do you think
I don't talk to my assistance about substitutions every single
time out?
Speaker 5 (14:17):
No? I just think there's a lot of coaches lean
on their assistance in those situations.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
As do a lack every single time. That's a weird assumption.
I watch it drops the mic Ah walks away.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
All right, So how do you evaluate that sound by
JJ Reddick blowing a gasket over his coaching skills. Well,
it's par for the course. JJ knows he's an embarrassment, right,
Everyone knows. JJ's an embarrassment to the Lakers. It's an
embarrassment to basketball. He's Lebron's podcast buddy, Like, I'm as
qualified to coach in the NBA I do podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Why don't I coach the Clippers? Why not?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
It's so embarrassing and he got out coached by nobody
can even named Minnesota's coach, This guy Finch, Nobody can
name him. But it's part for the course with JJ Redick.
Everything with Reddick is an Italian opera. He's the prima Donna.
He's temperamental, he's arrogant. He thinks he invented basketball. I
think he still believes he's doing a show like on
(15:16):
like first take with Steven A. When he talks to
the media, he's overly dramatic. He's self absorbed. He plays
to the cameras. And the good news is we can
say now officially, JJ Reddick as a coach is the
same as JJ Reddick as a player. The guy missed
every big shot with the Lob City Clippers when it mattered,
and as coach of the Lakers, he embarrassed himself in
(15:37):
the playff.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Of course, he was just.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Following the marching orders of Lebron James. His lead coach
is Lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
He's the assistant.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
But man a lot and it's it's it's really is inflammation.
JJ Reddick is suffering from inflammation, nerve damage. That struck
a nerve. It's a sorp subject. He knows, he doesn't
he's not qualified to be a head coach. He didn't
pay his dues to become a head coach. He jumped
in line and that was a totally fair question to ask.
(16:07):
Reddick was the first and is the only coach, the
only one in the NBA to play all five guys
in the entire half of a playoff game. It had
never happened, and he did something ridiculous. Again, it's like
an fu to Rob Polink is very bizarre. What's going
on because like Lebron's kind of shadow running everything, but
(16:28):
it's like they're sending these messages out in this game.
The first person off the bench was Maxi Kleebah, who
you probably don't even know who was on a team.
He was trashed the Mavericks tossed in in that Luca trade.
The guy hadn't even practiced, according to the TNT broadcast
with the Lakers, but he came in there like the
first guy off the bench, which was the bird to
(16:51):
Rob Polenka, hadn't even practice and not a guy not
a game we talked about practice. And then you got
Jackson Hayes, who is so far in JJ Reddick's doghouse
and really Lebron's doghouse that he got a DNP coach's decision,
didn't get off the bench. He's got hemorrhoids, right, now
he's getting medication. He's getting medication hemorrhoids from sitting on
(17:15):
the bench.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
I mean, it's so good, it's so great.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
All right, let's hear one more from JJ Reddick. This
was postgame. Here's Reddick doing some evaluation. I'm sure he's
going to say how bad he did. Unless he doesn't,
let's hear.
Speaker 6 (17:30):
I'll use my own thoughts to evaluate myself, and I'll
use what my players say and what my coaching staff
says to evaluate. But you know, I know I can
be better, and I know I will get better. I
don't necessarily take any satisfaction from how the year went.
(17:51):
That's not to say I'm not proud of what the
group was able to do and how we're able to
figure things out on the fly and put ourselves in
a position to have home court in the first round.
But there's always there's always ways to get better, and
I can I can get a lot better.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yeah, I'm sure your players will give you a big
thumbs up. You sat most of them on the bench
the entire time.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
You battle to get home courts, so you can lose
two home games. Some home court advantage, you losers.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Oh, it's so good. Oh my god, that is great,
So I'd fire him. I would fire JJ Reddick. The
Lakers don't really have an owner, they don't, you know,
so that won't happen. JJ should have never been hired.
I'd fire him. Let him go back and hang out
with Stephen A. Smith and give hot takes, you know,
rip old NBA players, old men say they were plumbers
(18:45):
and all that.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Do that? Go ahead, JJ, Yeah, that'd be the way
to go. Jeez. Oh, it's how great when people like
that lose? Is that not? One of the great things
about being some of that fallows sports?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
When a holes lose like JJ Reddick and the Lakers,
is that good?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Man? Does that taste good? That is so good? Delicious? Delicious?
Delicious delicious?
Speaker 3 (19:08):
It is the Ben Mallard Show. If you'd like to
be part of this, you can join us right now.
And I'm sure all those historians will.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Be calling up. They got their blankies and their warm
glass of milk right now? All great? Is that? All right? Hey?
Speaker 3 (19:23):
For the rest of you, I want to celebrate this
Festivus of greatness eight seven seven.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Ninety nine on fuck.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
It would be wrong, It would be wrong to pour
salt on the wound.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
You should not do that.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Shod in Freude, Shine in Freuda eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox The number A Little Emoji payback, A
little Emoji payback?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
What is that all about. We'll get to it and
we will do it next.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox It's Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Bill Miller and you. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
Up all night, every night, working the third shift. We
thank you for hanging out with us. If you're up
working or just having insomnia. You worked that second shift
and you're standing up relaxing after work, whatever it might be,
(20:25):
and we're here for you all night, every night, podcast
every day, even on the weekends.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
You can interact with the live show. That would be
the show going on right now? Do it?
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Say a little Ben? That's right, Say a little Ben.
At Ben Mahler on Ex Lorraine, you can find her
FSR Tech Queen, FSR Tech Queen and Cooper Loop.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I don't know why Coop's in a bad mood.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
I can't imagine why, but you can sail it to
Coop at uh Bronco fan, that's a Bronco fan. As
we are celebrating one of the great nights in sports,
Lebron James has been decommissioned for the NBA playoff.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Yes, well, he's actually gonna go to.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
His mansion in la and then he'll go to his
mansion in Ohio, and then he'll go to some votes somewhere.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
But let's get back to the show, all right.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
We will get back to the show, and also the
Golden State, which I think is an equally amazing story.
Steve Kirk gave up on a playoff game and no
one seems to be bothered by that.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Again, I'm getting older. I just had a birthday this week.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I mean, I was not taught in sports that you
ever give up on a playoff game, and he did it,
and no one seems to really care.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
How did that happen?
Speaker 3 (21:51):
How did we get to the place where an NBA
coach does not give a crap about a playoff game
and gives up midway through, says, no, Moss throws the spot.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And that's acceptable.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
That that's wild to me that nobody like I would
be upset if I was, I cared about the Golden
State words. The backups got close and then they could
have put the starters back in.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And they didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
That is unimaginable. And don't you have to pull for
the Rockets now to win that series? They probably won't,
but you have to pull for them, right, that's nuts.
We did start here with the Lakers, and we're commenting
on your your thoughts on that as they are out.
Malard prop guy rights since says the Malard militia is
(22:38):
relieved that you seem to enjoy your belated birthday gift.
I hope that you think of us often as you
enjoy and I enjoyed during the year. Well, thank you,
malaprop and really thank you for those those wonderful songs
that were just outstanding.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Love them so much.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Mister Luciano writes in and says, as a Laker fan,
I give this Mallard monologue a scale of one to ten,
a fifteen out of one to ten with some Laker tiers.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
On the side.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Ever since Lebron joined the Lakers, the team has absolutely sucked.
Get rid of them from mister Luciano a late night
drug tester, right, since this is the Lakers lost on
purpose only to help save the environment by not having
to fly back to Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Yes, they're worried about that.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
They would have lost Game six, think of all the
airline fuel and the money they saved. Not necessarily true,
because all the players will be flying around on different
planes to exotic locations in one way or another. Ferg
Dog says, get out your top hats and brooms and
men a salta. It's a gentleman's sweep. It's also the
most embarrassing performance by a three seed in the first
(23:47):
round in NBA history, a new low for the pathetic
Fakers franchise. I saw this stat somewhere, and I'm not
sure where. I saw a lot of things they said.
This is the first time in the history of that
franchise that they've ever been a top three seed.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
And lost in the first round.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
This is the most embarrassing in Laker history they had
anytime they had been good enough to be a top
three seed, they had never lost in the first round.
You can no longer say that you can't Andy in
Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says I'm loving it. That's got to
be the best battle of monologue of the year. Give
yourself a Benny, Benny, all right, what else do we have?
(24:24):
Page down, King Roy writes, since your monologue just proves
that the Lakers run la, he says, right into the ground.
The Clippers are getting ready to beat the Nuggets, and
you are celebrating. You're in a great mood, I am,
King Roy. I'm a wonderful mood here. It is a
great great Mitzvah is what it is. Joe the ghost
(24:46):
unner in Ohio rights and he's out chasing poltergeist, he says, helpathetic.
The Lakers sound like a new franchise. Jerry Buss is
trying to dig out of the grave as we speak.
Right now, Tom from Fullerton with a.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Gif of what I am doing right now? Who else
do you have pitched now? Supermarket? Steve writes in he's
no longer on strike, He.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Says, Duke should take back JJ Reddick his degree. He
is an awful representation of how smart you have to
be to attend Duke super Market, Steve says, refusing to
play your only center while the other teams center goes
for twenty seven and twenty four.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Is pretty effing stupid. I thought it was brilliant. I
thought it was great. Hey, listen, I'm stubborn. I'm stubborn too,
so I understand stubborn.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
And if you think JJ Reddick's really making the decisions here,
come on. He was a podcast co host who got
the job because he did a podcast with Lebron James.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
That's why he has the job. Hello, Big grig Rob
from the Highways and Byways of North America.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
I've met him in Kansas City, he writes in good Man,
Big grig Rob. He says, Oh, how the mighty have fallen?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
The king is dead.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
These la fakers took the fraud bait hook line and sinker.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I think it's I think you got that out of order.
This is the goat. This is the guy who is
better than Jordan. There you go, Bendy.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Brian Wheeler reference earns you a doctorate tonight with honor.
I love, but I miss Brian with a great man
and one of the wonderful people that I've met on
my road in life.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It was the voice of the Trail Blazers for a
number of years.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
He was a voice of the Blazers when they actually
had good teams. So it's a long time ago. Chipping
the q'es rights and says a plus on the Malay monologue.
I could laugh at the fate of the Lakers, but
unless my Rockets somehow I'd play the Warriors in the
next couple of games, they'll be sitting at home just
like the Lakers, unless Houston ends.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Up winning it all. It's a moot point to me. Well, yeah,
the Rockets shouldn't win Game six.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
However, if you think there's something called karma, you believe
in that kind of thing. Steve Kerr is certainly testing
that theory. I seem to remember a couple years back,
the Warriors gave up on a game in Memphis, conceded
a game to the Grizzlies.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And then they came back and won.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
So it has happened before, but that doesn't mean it's
going to happen again. Terry in England is riding in.
He's wearing his full brock Purty onesie, and he's got
his forty nine er diaper on. He says, Malar's strutting
like a peacock in full flow, destroying lefraud and his
(27:39):
Laker harem, So he says. Gunner in Minnesota writes in
he says it's over. Bye Bye King hand the crown over.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
You're done, time to retire.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
I'm sure Gunner Lebron's listening in his three hundred thousand
dollars automobile as he's driving around LA.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
He's listening to the show right now.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
He's saying, well, I wasn't going to retire, but Gunner
at the wall in northern Minnesota wants me to retire.
So I'm out. That's it. I'm gone see you later.
Bye bye. All right, let's go now, get a little
flavor on the state of the Lakers. The sky is falling,
and let's start out with Mike in the South Bay
(28:19):
there in Manhattan Beach. Mike, welcome your first up here.
It is the Ben Maler Show. Welcome Mike on Fox.
Mike is speechless. He doesn't know what to say. He's bewildered,
he's dishevel he's bedraggled.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Mike krazzled. I don't know. I went to him. I
don't hear him. Did he fall asleep? It's too early
to fall asleep. I mean usually it's later in the
show people fall asleep. Isn't that usually how that works?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
If you said Mike's a feisty caller, I thought he
would throw some fire. Now let's go to we'll get
rid of him. Let's go to Dennis in Sundyego. Hello, Dennis, welcome,
be less Ben.
Speaker 7 (29:00):
You all right?
Speaker 2 (29:01):
What's that? Dennis? What's that it said?
Speaker 7 (29:03):
Blest Ben?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Are you okay?
Speaker 3 (29:06):
I hear cackling a lot down here in things wonder wonderful?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yes, I think the mighty the mighty six.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
Remember you remember all the listers that go on to
Fox and become stars. We remember everybody down here.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Ben, Ben?
Speaker 7 (29:25):
What happened with you and the what happened with you
in the Lakers? Are you all right? Are you? You're
cackling like a mental patient about them losing and you
watch that.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
You got a talk show to do, Dennis. I'm doing.
I get I get you.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
I heard all the emails from England and all the
other places too. Hey Ben, who who after who? After
Brownie or Brandy James or at fifty five? Who would
have you taken if you were the Lakers?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Play?
Speaker 3 (29:51):
Ronnie James should not be on the roster. You should
have released him. You should not be on the team.
You gave him a guarantee contract. The fact that he
was taking up a roster that is embarrassing.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Who else should have they taken?
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Who else have anyone? At this point, there's a million.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Basketball players out there. Bronnie James on the team. You're
because of his because of his kid? Yes, we're just okay,
you are well, you at loose.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
You know you're a little person, Dennis. You're you're aware
you're a little person. You're aware of that.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Yeah, so so so who who should have they taken?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Literally anyone?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Dennis, And you know that, you know that you're defending nepotism.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
You think it's.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Somebody Lebron was Lebron? Just admit right now, Dennis, admit
right now. Lebron was exposed. They had no bench, and
they they carried his his suck bag kid at the
didn't play d n P coach's decision. You could add
somebody on the team that could have played.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Sure, I'm not sure if it was a family member
that hurts you or somebody, but that sounds like some
deep seated hate.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Okay, again, you're doing I understand. I understand you don't
want to address the issue, and I don't blame Listen, Dennis, I.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Don't you're making this about me and I appreciate that, Dennis.
I know I'm more interesting than the Lakers. I understand
I'm more interesting than the Lakers. Coming well, I'm glad
that you're making it about me. And that's called moving,
that's called it, that's called the distraction, is what that is?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
You laugh like you laugh that JJ ended. You hate
JJ for for for adequately calling out a reporter that
was definitely calling out a.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Reporter that asked a legitimate question.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
He's the worst coach in NBA history and he gets
called out on it, and and he's so sensitive, he's
such a softy JJ Reddick. He can't he has no diplomacy,
he can't answer the question. He thinks he's on ESPN's
first pake when he's the coach of the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
It's unbelievable. The answer is so embarrassing. And here's the
great thing. Listen, Dennis, I understand, Dennis, you probably have
your Laker face paying on right now. You're all excited
about that.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
So you're okay with the Just for the record here,
this is your typical low information Laker historian. So you're
okay with the Lakers having Bronnie James Kidd on the team.
Who took up a roster spot. You're okay with the
Lakers having Bronnie James podcaster his podcaster buddy.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
By the way, Laurada, I know you're Laurada. Why are
you leaving him up? By the way, I do not
understand me.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
At some point the battle, Ben, at some point I'll
get somebody that will actually know how to do this.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
My god. All right, anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
I mean, I gotta teach radio now.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
I teach like a radio class how to properly do
talk radio. I'll write a book. I guess I have
to do that. Oh my god, unbelievable. Anyway, all right,
it is the Ben Mahler Show. We'll take more of
these riveting phone calls from Laker fanboys. I'm honored, though,
that you are moving the conversation away from where it
should be at lebron Bronnie JJ Reddick, and you're making
(32:59):
this about me.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I'm flattered. I know I'm kind of a big deal.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I get it, I understand it, my guy. All Right,
anyway is the Ben Malishow. Will take your calls. You
want to be part here, and we have the emoji.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
This is great. This story. We will say this is
one push this back.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
A little bit, but it is a doozy all right,
Emoji payback.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
It is so so good. We'll get to that. But
time now for the who am I?
Speaker 7 (33:24):
Game?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And here it is? Who am I?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Game? The only players who in NBA history with twenty
five or more points, twenty or more rebounds while shooting
seventy five percent or greater in an elimination game are
Rudy Gobert of the Wolves and me. Again, the only
players in NBA history with twenty five or more points,
(33:46):
twenty or more rebounds, seventy five percent field goal percentage
are greater in an elimination game are Rudy Gobert of
the Wolves and me.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Who Who am I? That is the question the answer.
We'll get to it and we will do it next.

And now back to the gas Bockery, Well, back to it.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
We were celebrating one of the great knights in sports,
Lebron who had hijacked the Laker franchise has been eliminated
yet again, and they were talking about championship. Lebron didn't
win one as a Laker, no championships, bounced out of
the first round pretty much seemingly every other year. You
look at the math on that well three three times
in recent years, and didn't even make the playoffs a
(35:23):
couple of times, so really an abject failure anyway you
slice it. As a Laker, they thought they were getting
an exciting, astonishing, dramatic player and well, there's been a
lot of drama, but the.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Winning has not been there has not been there.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Somewhere in Dallas, a guy named Nico Harrison poured one
out as the Lakers. Luca was hobbling around in the
game in the second half, had a bad back, and
the Lakers went down to the Minnesota basketball team, which
is advanced to the second round of the playoffs, but
time to pay off the who Am I?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
