Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka Laca.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number whe our number one, ready to go
talking basketball here on the Ben Mathers Show. Happy Thursday,
the twenty third day of October.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
As we are united as one.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Hanging out together here and I stayed up all night
to give you this podcast. So here in our number one,
give me your opening impressions of the new but yet similar,
the new but yet similar version of Inside the NBA
with Shaq, Ernie Kenny and Charles Barkley. Also, how weird
has it been to see Charles Barkley back on television?
(00:38):
And he's fun sized. He's the fun sized version of
Charles Barkley. And give me your thoughts on Cooper Flag's
regular season NBA debut with the Mavericks. We'll talk about
that as well. Get to all of it right now here.
It is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Like an old friend returning welcome. In the beginning of
another night of The Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ywhere constituents brought together because we are your groovy host,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and enormously powerful microphones of FSR, amminating live from
the junction, the Jibber Jabber Junction from the world famous
(01:40):
Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Sirius Sean. He
gives the old thumbs up on that this portion of
the Ben Maler sewn Fox made possible in part by
our friends at Tirak.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
For over forty years, Tyrak.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com. The way tire
buying should be. Hope you're hanging in there. We're back
at it again. Long night on the overnight. We'll keep
(02:13):
a company here for many, many hours as we fly
the quiet overnight skies here in our lead this hour. Now,
you said, well, it suits basketball. If it's not only basketball,
it's television. And while the NBA regular season does not
move the needle, it does not. I'm not gonna sit
here as Oh I'm so excited. Now it's background noise
(02:36):
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And now the only time it's not background noise is
when there's a couple of people yapping on TV. I'll
take it off, mute. I didn't use the mute button
as much. By the way, it's it's amazing they get
rid of Doris Burke. I don't have to use the
mute button as much. But anyway, so I was watching
and it was in the background, you know, fussing around
getting ready for the show.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And there's one thing that I rarely miss and that
was back so an old friend and.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
A couple couple days there, we thought we were gonna
lose them. They were on life support when Turner said
bye bye to the NBA, but inside the NBA surviving
and they made their much anticipated by some debut on
the Four Letter Network out of Connecticut and the TNT
(03:27):
crew picking up right where they left off. No stumble,
no drop, none of that. If you didn't see any
of this, I don't know if you were watching it
or not, but they were there, all the gags, all
the jokes, goofing on Charles Barkley and his weight loss
more than that later. So if he didn't watch it,
maybe not after was it twenty five years? Man, that's
(03:49):
a long run. I got two for Benny versus the penny.
Twenty five year run on TNT. The boys started blabbing
and going on and on and on on the little
fledgling cable Channe, which are parentally losing a lot of
money because they keep laying people off there in Connecticut.
So a lot of opinions about this. I think we'll
jump off on that and discuss So let us talk
(04:11):
about it. The question giving your opening impressions, there was
a lot of doom and gloom. We were skeptical as
well of the new version of Inside the NBA with
shaq Ernie Kenny and Charles Buckley. But opening impressions. So
I've got disco ball, zz Top and craft Brewery, and
(04:32):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to have a gut wrenching good time, is
what we're going to do. And we're gonna make your
Babushka's favorite tomato bisk is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
All right. So first of all, I am surprised. I
am it worked.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And it was like the favorite pizza place that you
used to go to and you hadn't been there in
a long time, like mom and pop shop.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They sell the pie there, pizza Daddy will call it.
And they moved it to a.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
New strip mall. They brought the same oven over the
same people that worked at the restaurant, so it tasted
the same, different address, but the same great taste. And
watching Barkley and of all places, ESPN, it was like
a disco ball and a dungeon. Putting Charles Barkley on ESPN, like,
do you think Bristol, You think gray sterile programming, woke
(05:28):
sports factory, ESPN. And when Barkley's on their little soul,
of course they just outsourced it. So I guess the
lesson is, if it ain't broke, you don't need to
fix it. I think we all knew that. But I
will be Benny Brightside. I will I'm Benny Brideside on
this one. I thought, well, they'll screw this up. They'll
left this up because I work in broadcasting. I know
how broadcasting people operate. They have things up, that's what
(05:49):
they do, you know, in most places. And so shockingly,
they didn't change the recipe. This is not new coke.
They kept the old coke. In fact, they went they
got the coke when they had cocaine. And that's how
good they got it. They got Ernie there, Ernie Johnson,
e J mister smooth operator. Kenny Smith's during the pot shack,
(06:10):
just tossing out weird one liners. And then Charles Barkley,
my god, who does look like a mini me version
of himself? There Barkley dropping a lot of weight since
we last saw him on TV. In fact, he dropped
so much, well, he dropping more weight than ESPN's losing
hockey ratings when they put hockey on. But my favorite part,
(06:34):
they did not duck the snuffleluffogus.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
In the room.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Now, what is the snuffleufogus in the room? Will go
to Sesame Street for this one. They opened up the
pregame coverage with a vignette of Charles Barkley's greatest hit,
It's now. The vignette was of Charles Barkley trashing ESPN
while on ESPN, which is just self deprecating, gold right,
just absolutely great.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Barkley was on.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The warpath there ripping the car wash treatment. So many
people get over there, and so let's not underestimate Okay,
let's not underestimate this.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Barkley was ESPN's El Dorado.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
If you feel me right, you feel me on that
the holy Grail of the White Whale. I don't know
how you want me to say it and the thing
that Bristol could never get. And I've been I got
friends that work over there, and then for years they're like,
oh man, that's the guy they want that they couldn't
get him in. They want it, kept offering him a
lot of money. He turned them down. Now they've got him,
and it already feels like and that's one night in
(07:39):
so who knows. It feels like they're the guest house.
And inside the NBA is like the sovereign nation surrounded
by despots and they're the ones setting the rules.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Though it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's not ESPN absorbing inside the NBA. It's inside the
NBA colonizing within ESPN. So hey, good job by Mickey Mouse.
Way to go, you didn't go goofy. Yeah, so you know,
don't touch it up, don't add analytical nerds. I don't
need to see some x W NBA player on there
hamming it up with Charles Barkley. I'm good on that.
(08:14):
Don't don't clean it up. There's nothing to clean up here.
Let shaq talk is nonsense. Let Kenny and and and Charles,
you know, bicker back and forth with what they do
and then you know, Ernie will be there doing his thing,
and so there you go.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Barkley will keep roasting himself and that's the secret sauce.
It works. We're all good.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And it is still I'm happy to report and must
see TV. And imagine how the people over at Turner feel.
I guess they're getting some money out of it, so
I probably don't.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Feel that bad. But that was their show. They had it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That was the top show in all of sports television.
They had it, and they they let it go. Although
it's still kind of there because they're doing it out
of the same studio. It's yeah, so it's not Likearles
Barkley actually physically went to ESPN.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He did not.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They got him because the Unicorn needed somewhere to go,
and Barkley was in talks with NBC as some people
he knows over there, but he chose to keep the
band together where he was all right now turning the Patriot,
but we're not going to turn far because speaking of
the greatest show on sports television these days inside the NBA,
(09:23):
A lot of fun with Charles Barkley and his weight loss,
and so he saw it for blind listeners. He's lost
a lot of weight.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't know how many pounds he's lost his lot.
So how weird was it? Here's the question, how weird
was it to see the.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Fund sized we'll call them fun sized version of Charles
bark So it looked like Charles Barkley was trapped in
a laundromat and they shrunk him in a dryer. It's
like they, I don't know how that happened, but they
put him in a dryer and he just shrunk and time.
(10:00):
That's the old joke, right, anytime you gain a couple
of pounds, Well, it's because my clothes were in the
dryer for too long. I didn't It's not the two
cheeseburgers I ate and the two chocolate Sundays. No, no, no,
it's the dryer. It's always the dryer. And so I
had to do a double take. I thought, well, that's weird.
Skinny chuck. Nobody wants. It's like a skinny skirt steak
you want to you want a nice big stake, It's
(10:21):
jar It's like seeing a Golden Retriever with a buzz cut.
You're like, well, I know that's a golden Retriever, I think,
but that's you know, something's a little loft there and
mention fun size.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It's just weird. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It is a double edged swort. As someone who lost
a great amount of weight in my life, I can
relate to what it's like now. I did not do
what Charles Barkley did. I did it el natural. I
would have cheated if there had been a way, but
they didn't exist. And you when I lost the weight.
But it's a double edged sword, right, And I know
(10:52):
this as a and I'll always be a fat person.
I'm like mid size. I don't think I'm skinny, but
I'm certainly not skinny. And I'm I'm I'm big, but
I don't know gigantic like I was. So when fat
people lose weight, everyone, I'll tell you what happens because
I know I've lived.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's how I relate.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
When you lose weight, here's what you get. And people
send you texts everything, Okay, people call it you're sick
and going on you want to talk about you know,
it's human nature, right. You look at people like that said, well,
what's going on here? I wonder if he's got some
(11:29):
kind of illness. Look like the mini me version of
himself there He even had Shaq calling Charles Barkley a
sex symbol, which of course a great comedy goal there now,
based on his own endorsement deal Charles who promoted the
fact that he lost weight not il natural with a needle,
(11:49):
It's fair to say Charles Barkley has gotten more weight
loss shots than Barry Bond's got the clear and the
cream back in the day.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Barkley's he's a yo yo up and down, most of us, sorry,
up and down, up and down.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You lose the weight, you gain the weight, you lose
the weight, you gain the weight. There you go and
eventually you lose all the weight. Eventually it all goes away.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But being fat, just fat people are funny. Being fat
was part of the comedy rhythm, right and cracking jokes.
You're just funnier when you've got a big fat belly
and you just are and skinny. Chuck feels off brand.
He's still funny and all it. He broke his glasses.
That was kind of funny. It's kind of like trimming
(12:32):
the synchronized foot long beards of zz top right. If
you know, you know they imagine what they look like there,
So I know they're old, but you just go with
the reference so zz top and they're still the same
zzy top, but it just doesn't look right right, you know.
If they're clean shaven, it's like, well, what happened to
the foot long and the beards and the red beards?
I don't understand where they go? I want them back,
(12:53):
all right, final thought. So I would be remiss if
I did not mention the thing that was a rack
the broadcast and I had the mute button going.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
But I did have it on in the background. They
had a.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Doubleheader the Cadavers and the Knickerbockers from Midtown Manhattan just
above Penn Station there.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They had that at the Mecca. I didn't really care
much for that game.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And then they had the main event, as they were
billing it, the two young superstars of pro bouncy ball
until eventually the NBA decides they want to ship one
of them to the Lakers in an orchestrated trade. But
until then they're in Texas. One in San Antonio. One
in Dallas. You had Victor Wemby, Niamma Wemby, the Parisian
(13:35):
prodigy who put it down. Are you not entertained by
Wemby forty points, fifteen rebounds and no turnovers. I'm told
that's good. I'm told sources not close to the situation
told me that's good. Forty points, fifteen rebounds, no turnover.
San Antonio gets a blowout win. The seven foot four Wemby,
(13:57):
who looks like he's about nine feet tall, was die
no mte for this burst. But that's not the story.
The story is the other player who made their much
bally Hood debut, good word bally Hood, They're much Ballyhood debut.
That was the number one overall FIM of the twenty
(14:20):
twenty five draft, playing for the Dallas basketball team. So question,
give me your thoughts on Cooper Flag's regular season NBA
debut with the mav Rex. So we know it was
the great Will Rogers that taught us you never get
(14:41):
a second chance to make a first impression. And holy smokers,
that was quite the introduction for Cooper Flag. He came
out looking like he had just walked out of a
nice local craft brewery called Frosty Stumblebum. It was a
stumble bomb. It's not the flag is up. The flag
(15:04):
was not up. No, no, no, the flag is down.
The kid from Maine gave birth in the first half. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I know that was possible. It is, you know a
couple of years ago was possible.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But Cooper Flag came out there and gave birth to
a goose egg. Yeah yeah, not a single point. You
and I scored as many points as Cooper Flag, the
number one overall in the twenty twenty five draft. He
pitched a shutout like a Dodger starter against the Brewers. Now,
if this were a one man Broadway show, one man
(15:38):
Broadway show, it would have been canceled by the intermission. Now,
he did score some points in the second half, the game,
going lopsided in the second half, ended up Cooper Flag
four of thirteen, which again didn't play in the NBA.
I don't think that's great. Ten points, a lot of
(15:59):
them coming once the Spurs had opened things up. Ten rebounds,
How many of those were off his own misshots?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Zero assists.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Despite all the hype about him being a jumbo sized
point guard and with Kyrie Irving not playing, you had
him listed Cooper Flag as the point guard. And let's
not forget unless my malord math is off. Congratulations to
Cooper Flag. You had a minus twenty nine plus minus,
(16:29):
which was the worst of any Dallas player.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
When he was out there, Dallas got apps a bleeping
loutlely steamrolled.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They just got steamrolled here.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So the marquee lights burned out, and I'm sure the
fanboys and the star worshippers and the media are already
making excuses.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's not his fault, it's somebody else's fault.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Blah blah blah blah blah blahm blom blah blah.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Strategy Ferg doog rights in The Starvation diet The way To,
Go fergdog, says do The clippers know the season? STARTED
i know we're still on pace for eighty one one and, One.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
But what the hell was? That? Oh my, god that
was so. NOW i didn't watch the, game SO i don't.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
KNOW i just saw the, stats SO i don't know
how it just based on the stats and some of
the HIGHLIGHTS i.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Saw those boys really don't like going.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
To Salt Lake. City they really do not want to
go To Salt Lake. City and they should have just
forfeited and saved the. Money and they could have just
forfeited and saved the money and that would have been,
that and they chose not to chose not to do. It,
so my, God Holy, canola that was. DISGUSTING i think
that nine nine was?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It nine? TURNOVERS i think in the first, quarter so
Bad god that they.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Sucked but you, KNOW i, mean you, know you know
what it probably, Was kawhi was tired from his other.
Job kawhi was probably busy at his other, job and he,
couldn't you, know he couldn't get out there and play
because you, know it's very.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Difficult this job is not that.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Easy they're a TEAM i want the worst teams in THE.
Nba SO i felt behind by twenty four points in
the first in the first. QUARTER i did a podcast last.
WEEK i talked about a FRIENDSHIP i had with the
(24:17):
Late Bill, fitch who coached in THE nba for a
number of, years And bill kind of educated me on
life in THE nba and like the Behind, now that
was a different.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
TIME i understand it was a long time ago and
he's gone.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Now but he explained to, me he's, listen if you play,
hard disciplined, basketball the difference between the worst team and the.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Best team is not that big a. Gap where the.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Games the way the league is designed is that the
games will we close with about four or five minutes
to go in the, game and then whoever plays better
in that stretch is going to win the. Game and
some of these teams it's it's The clippers never led
against The Utah. Jazz Did Carl malone suit up in John?
(24:59):
Stock then did they bring back from the other Side Mark?
Eaton and did they Find Greg ulster tag somewhere and
bring him?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Back man?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
MAN a lot of that was epically. Pathetic, now there
were a bunch of pathetic performances in THE, nba including
The Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Hawks how bad were?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
They they got a CAPITAL e grade From Trey, young
their star. Player hawks embarrassing opening, night And Trey young
did say that they were, embarrassed which is that's. True
they should have done something about that before before the. Game, absolutely,
(25:42):
absolutely let's go to the. Phones we got a man
caching a golden, ticket so he goes right to the
front of.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The, line no waiting at, all Mister. Irrigation, hello Mister, irrigation. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Hey, yeah that's kind of a DIFFERENT i guess in
the show yesterday and then lead off. TONIGHT i don't
Think i've ever done that. BEFORE i want a bunch
of gold of, tickets BUT i don't Think i've ever done.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
That so we are now listening to radio. History mister.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Irrigation you're both the closer and the leadoff hitter at
the same.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
Time, Congratulations, BEN i got in on the first hour
SO i could say hello to your pinpals who only
can listen there in that first hour at, least that's
what the last letter you read on.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
That that's.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Right we have we call those incarcerated. Listeners, yes they're
big fans of the. Show they love the, show and
for some, reason those evil prison guards will not allow
them to listen real. Some we have some that listen
the first, hour and then there's others that are able
to listen early on on The east, coast there's some
(26:48):
that will listen like early on the last. Hour so
it's but in, BETWEEN i guess they can't. LISTEN i
don't know what's up with, That.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Ben about just to talk a little bit about for
The texans Blow, man their offense is so. Bad do
you have a suggestion, THOUGH i was thinking some paaraway
skirts for the backfield would uh the offensive backfield With
hill Tremendously.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well you have to you have to check with THE
nfl shop on.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
THAT i don't. Know you have.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
To it's all about, branding as you, know mister. Irrigation
so you could wear anything if it has the shield
logo on, it and if it has your team. Logo
i'm told you can wear whatever you.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Want so you are not entertained by the Morbid texans.
Offense you.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Know and NOW i got a lot of, crap, mistergation
people that live in your. Town you live in The houston,
area BECAUSE i got to TAKE i appreciate. THAT i
did a rant before the season about C. J. STROUD
i was critical of C. J. Stroud there were people
that got very upset and, said, well that's why you're
doing overnight so that you don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
About you're not in. Town we know you.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Know they gave me the Whole we know better than
you because we're in we're In. Houston we know this.
Ballplayer we know how good he. Is you just don't
know how good he. Is you're, Wrong, okay so we.
Are we're about midway through the.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Season C. J stroud has the same passer rating as Justin.
Fields your, thoughts.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Well THEN i agree he. HAS i think it's the.
COACHING i don't know for, sure but this guy was
really it seemed like he was enthused and wanting TO i,
mean he didn't get a happy feet in the. Bucket
this guy's dancing around LIKE i don't, know like a
disco duck playing in the back.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Round, however, however didn't you just fire the offensive coordinator last?
Year you said it was coaching last year and you.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Blazed the turnover rate at that place is. Ridiculous they
need to start at the top and clean Out cal
and his goofy, craft because he's better. Off he should
be BREEDING akc black. Labs he does not need to
be okay running in THE nfl.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Team, yeah well that's that's the second. Generation that's the, problem,
Right this always. Happens you get the second, generation AND
i just know the.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Kids the girl up at The colt is doing?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Great is this she's the third?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Generation that second, generation she's the third generation because er,
Say Jim orsay inherited the team from his old man
who moved the team From. Baltimore and then this is
the third.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Generation, well you know they.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Came From dallas to originally you, know begin with they
were The Dallas texans and then turned into The Baltimore.
COLT i think it was fifty. ONE i don't like. That,
yeah Another Dallas texans before these morons chose that name
for A euston. Team. Too that's just it's been trashed
since then began. It if you look at What Bud
(29:44):
adams did and what the McNair's have, Done, yeah there's,
no there's, no there's no. COMPARISON i mean the McNair's

the twenty third day of October.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
As we are united as one.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Hanging out together here and I stayed up all night
to give you this podcast. So here in our number one,
give me your opening impressions of the new but yet similar,
the new but yet similar version of Inside the NBA
with Shaq, Ernie Kenny and Charles Barkley. Also, how weird
has it been to see Charles Barkley back on television?
(00:38):
And he's fun sized. He's the fun sized version of
Charles Barkley. And give me your thoughts on Cooper Flag's
regular season NBA debut with the Mavericks. We'll talk about
that as well. Get to all of it right now here.
It is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Like an old friend returning welcome. In the beginning of
another night of The Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ywhere constituents brought together because we are your groovy host,
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
vast and enormously powerful microphones of FSR, amminating live from
the junction, the Jibber Jabber Junction from the world famous
(01:40):
Fox Sports Radio studios, as approved by Sirius Sean. He
gives the old thumbs up on that this portion of
the Ben Maler sewn Fox made possible in part by
our friends at Tirak.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
For over forty years, Tyrak.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, tire rack dot Com. The way tire
buying should be. Hope you're hanging in there. We're back
at it again. Long night on the overnight. We'll keep
(02:13):
a company here for many, many hours as we fly
the quiet overnight skies here in our lead this hour. Now,
you said, well, it suits basketball. If it's not only basketball,
it's television. And while the NBA regular season does not
move the needle, it does not. I'm not gonna sit
here as Oh I'm so excited. Now it's background noise
(02:36):
for me.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I haven't.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
And now the only time it's not background noise is
when there's a couple of people yapping on TV. I'll
take it off, mute. I didn't use the mute button
as much. By the way, it's it's amazing they get
rid of Doris Burke. I don't have to use the
mute button as much. But anyway, so I was watching
and it was in the background, you know, fussing around
getting ready for the show.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
And there's one thing that I rarely miss and that
was back so an old friend and.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
A couple couple days there, we thought we were gonna
lose them. They were on life support when Turner said
bye bye to the NBA, but inside the NBA surviving
and they made their much anticipated by some debut on
the Four Letter Network out of Connecticut and the TNT
(03:27):
crew picking up right where they left off. No stumble,
no drop, none of that. If you didn't see any
of this, I don't know if you were watching it
or not, but they were there, all the gags, all
the jokes, goofing on Charles Barkley and his weight loss
more than that later. So if he didn't watch it,
maybe not after was it twenty five years? Man, that's
(03:49):
a long run. I got two for Benny versus the penny.
Twenty five year run on TNT. The boys started blabbing
and going on and on and on on the little
fledgling cable Channe, which are parentally losing a lot of
money because they keep laying people off there in Connecticut.
So a lot of opinions about this. I think we'll
jump off on that and discuss So let us talk
(04:11):
about it. The question giving your opening impressions, there was
a lot of doom and gloom. We were skeptical as
well of the new version of Inside the NBA with
shaq Ernie Kenny and Charles Buckley. But opening impressions. So
I've got disco ball, zz Top and craft Brewery, and
(04:32):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to have a gut wrenching good time, is
what we're going to do. And we're gonna make your
Babushka's favorite tomato bisk is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
All right. So first of all, I am surprised. I
am it worked.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And it was like the favorite pizza place that you
used to go to and you hadn't been there in
a long time, like mom and pop shop.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They sell the pie there, pizza Daddy will call it.
And they moved it to a.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
New strip mall. They brought the same oven over the
same people that worked at the restaurant, so it tasted
the same, different address, but the same great taste. And
watching Barkley and of all places, ESPN, it was like
a disco ball and a dungeon. Putting Charles Barkley on ESPN, like,
do you think Bristol, You think gray sterile programming, woke
(05:28):
sports factory, ESPN. And when Barkley's on their little soul,
of course they just outsourced it. So I guess the
lesson is, if it ain't broke, you don't need to
fix it. I think we all knew that. But I
will be Benny Brightside. I will I'm Benny Brideside on
this one. I thought, well, they'll screw this up. They'll
left this up because I work in broadcasting. I know
how broadcasting people operate. They have things up, that's what
(05:49):
they do, you know, in most places. And so shockingly,
they didn't change the recipe. This is not new coke.
They kept the old coke. In fact, they went they
got the coke when they had cocaine. And that's how
good they got it. They got Ernie there, Ernie Johnson,
e J mister smooth operator. Kenny Smith's during the pot shack,
(06:10):
just tossing out weird one liners. And then Charles Barkley,
my god, who does look like a mini me version
of himself? There Barkley dropping a lot of weight since
we last saw him on TV. In fact, he dropped
so much, well, he dropping more weight than ESPN's losing
hockey ratings when they put hockey on. But my favorite part,
(06:34):
they did not duck the snuffleluffogus.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
In the room.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Now, what is the snuffleufogus in the room? Will go
to Sesame Street for this one. They opened up the
pregame coverage with a vignette of Charles Barkley's greatest hit,
It's now. The vignette was of Charles Barkley trashing ESPN
while on ESPN, which is just self deprecating, gold right,
just absolutely great.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Barkley was on.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The warpath there ripping the car wash treatment. So many
people get over there, and so let's not underestimate Okay,
let's not underestimate this.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Barkley was ESPN's El Dorado.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
If you feel me right, you feel me on that
the holy Grail of the White Whale. I don't know
how you want me to say it and the thing
that Bristol could never get. And I've been I got
friends that work over there, and then for years they're like,
oh man, that's the guy they want that they couldn't
get him in. They want it, kept offering him a
lot of money. He turned them down. Now they've got him,
and it already feels like and that's one night in
(07:39):
so who knows. It feels like they're the guest house.
And inside the NBA is like the sovereign nation surrounded
by despots and they're the ones setting the rules.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Though it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
It's not ESPN absorbing inside the NBA. It's inside the
NBA colonizing within ESPN. So hey, good job by Mickey Mouse.
Way to go, you didn't go goofy. Yeah, so you know,
don't touch it up, don't add analytical nerds. I don't
need to see some x W NBA player on there
hamming it up with Charles Barkley. I'm good on that.
(08:14):
Don't don't clean it up. There's nothing to clean up here.
Let shaq talk is nonsense. Let Kenny and and and Charles,
you know, bicker back and forth with what they do
and then you know, Ernie will be there doing his thing,
and so there you go.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Barkley will keep roasting himself and that's the secret sauce.
It works. We're all good.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
And it is still I'm happy to report and must
see TV. And imagine how the people over at Turner feel.
I guess they're getting some money out of it, so
I probably don't.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Feel that bad. But that was their show. They had it.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
That was the top show in all of sports television.
They had it, and they they let it go. Although
it's still kind of there because they're doing it out
of the same studio. It's yeah, so it's not Likearles
Barkley actually physically went to ESPN.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
He did not.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
They got him because the Unicorn needed somewhere to go,
and Barkley was in talks with NBC as some people
he knows over there, but he chose to keep the
band together where he was all right now turning the Patriot,
but we're not going to turn far because speaking of
the greatest show on sports television these days inside the NBA,
(09:23):
A lot of fun with Charles Barkley and his weight loss,
and so he saw it for blind listeners. He's lost
a lot of weight.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I don't know how many pounds he's lost his lot.
So how weird was it? Here's the question, how weird
was it to see the.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Fund sized we'll call them fun sized version of Charles
bark So it looked like Charles Barkley was trapped in
a laundromat and they shrunk him in a dryer. It's
like they, I don't know how that happened, but they
put him in a dryer and he just shrunk and time.
(10:00):
That's the old joke, right, anytime you gain a couple
of pounds, Well, it's because my clothes were in the
dryer for too long. I didn't It's not the two
cheeseburgers I ate and the two chocolate Sundays. No, no, no,
it's the dryer. It's always the dryer. And so I
had to do a double take. I thought, well, that's weird.
Skinny chuck. Nobody wants. It's like a skinny skirt steak
you want to you want a nice big stake, It's
(10:21):
jar It's like seeing a Golden Retriever with a buzz cut.
You're like, well, I know that's a golden Retriever, I think,
but that's you know, something's a little loft there and
mention fun size.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It's just weird. Now.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
It is a double edged swort. As someone who lost
a great amount of weight in my life, I can
relate to what it's like now. I did not do
what Charles Barkley did. I did it el natural. I
would have cheated if there had been a way, but
they didn't exist. And you when I lost the weight.
But it's a double edged sword, right, And I know
(10:52):
this as a and I'll always be a fat person.
I'm like mid size. I don't think I'm skinny, but
I'm certainly not skinny. And I'm I'm I'm big, but
I don't know gigantic like I was. So when fat
people lose weight, everyone, I'll tell you what happens because
I know I've lived.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
That's how I relate.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
When you lose weight, here's what you get. And people
send you texts everything, Okay, people call it you're sick
and going on you want to talk about you know,
it's human nature, right. You look at people like that said, well,
what's going on here? I wonder if he's got some
(11:29):
kind of illness. Look like the mini me version of
himself there He even had Shaq calling Charles Barkley a
sex symbol, which of course a great comedy goal there now,
based on his own endorsement deal Charles who promoted the
fact that he lost weight not il natural with a needle,
(11:49):
It's fair to say Charles Barkley has gotten more weight
loss shots than Barry Bond's got the clear and the
cream back in the day.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
We'll see how this goes.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Barkley's he's a yo yo up and down, most of us, sorry,
up and down, up and down.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
You lose the weight, you gain the weight, you lose
the weight, you gain the weight. There you go and
eventually you lose all the weight. Eventually it all goes away.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
But being fat, just fat people are funny. Being fat
was part of the comedy rhythm, right and cracking jokes.
You're just funnier when you've got a big fat belly
and you just are and skinny. Chuck feels off brand.
He's still funny and all it. He broke his glasses.
That was kind of funny. It's kind of like trimming
(12:32):
the synchronized foot long beards of zz top right. If
you know, you know they imagine what they look like there,
So I know they're old, but you just go with
the reference so zz top and they're still the same
zzy top, but it just doesn't look right right, you know.
If they're clean shaven, it's like, well, what happened to
the foot long and the beards and the red beards?
I don't understand where they go? I want them back,
(12:53):
all right, final thought. So I would be remiss if
I did not mention the thing that was a rack
the broadcast and I had the mute button going.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
But I did have it on in the background. They
had a.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Doubleheader the Cadavers and the Knickerbockers from Midtown Manhattan just
above Penn Station there.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
They had that at the Mecca. I didn't really care
much for that game.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And then they had the main event, as they were
billing it, the two young superstars of pro bouncy ball
until eventually the NBA decides they want to ship one
of them to the Lakers in an orchestrated trade. But
until then they're in Texas. One in San Antonio. One
in Dallas. You had Victor Wemby, Niamma Wemby, the Parisian
(13:35):
prodigy who put it down. Are you not entertained by
Wemby forty points, fifteen rebounds and no turnovers. I'm told
that's good. I'm told sources not close to the situation
told me that's good. Forty points, fifteen rebounds, no turnover.
San Antonio gets a blowout win. The seven foot four Wemby,
(13:57):
who looks like he's about nine feet tall, was die
no mte for this burst. But that's not the story.
The story is the other player who made their much
bally Hood debut, good word bally Hood, They're much Ballyhood debut.
That was the number one overall FIM of the twenty
(14:20):
twenty five draft, playing for the Dallas basketball team. So question,
give me your thoughts on Cooper Flag's regular season NBA
debut with the mav Rex. So we know it was
the great Will Rogers that taught us you never get
(14:41):
a second chance to make a first impression. And holy smokers,
that was quite the introduction for Cooper Flag. He came
out looking like he had just walked out of a
nice local craft brewery called Frosty Stumblebum. It was a
stumble bomb. It's not the flag is up. The flag
(15:04):
was not up. No, no, no, the flag is down.
The kid from Maine gave birth in the first half. Congratulations.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I know that was possible. It is, you know a
couple of years ago was possible.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
But Cooper Flag came out there and gave birth to
a goose egg. Yeah yeah, not a single point. You
and I scored as many points as Cooper Flag, the
number one overall in the twenty twenty five draft. He
pitched a shutout like a Dodger starter against the Brewers. Now,
if this were a one man Broadway show, one man
(15:38):
Broadway show, it would have been canceled by the intermission. Now,
he did score some points in the second half, the game,
going lopsided in the second half, ended up Cooper Flag
four of thirteen, which again didn't play in the NBA.
I don't think that's great. Ten points, a lot of
(15:59):
them coming once the Spurs had opened things up. Ten rebounds,
How many of those were off his own misshots?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Zero assists.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Despite all the hype about him being a jumbo sized
point guard and with Kyrie Irving not playing, you had
him listed Cooper Flag as the point guard. And let's
not forget unless my malord math is off. Congratulations to
Cooper Flag. You had a minus twenty nine plus minus,
(16:29):
which was the worst of any Dallas player.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
When he was out there, Dallas got apps a bleeping
loutlely steamrolled.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
They just got steamrolled here.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So the marquee lights burned out, and I'm sure the
fanboys and the star worshippers and the media are already
making excuses.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
It's not his fault, it's somebody else's fault.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Blah blah blah blah blah blahm blom blah blah.

today today it is. Ozempic SO i my.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
THING i did like eight one meal of the. Day
i'd skip a couple of days or.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Whatever it.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Is kind OF i figured IF i didn't need, anything
it would be very difficult to gain.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Weight that was my.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Strategy Ferg doog rights in The Starvation diet The way To,
Go fergdog, says do The clippers know the season? STARTED
i know we're still on pace for eighty one one and, One.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
But what the hell was? That? Oh my, god that
was so. NOW i didn't watch the, game SO i don't.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
KNOW i just saw the, stats SO i don't know
how it just based on the stats and some of
the HIGHLIGHTS i.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Saw those boys really don't like going.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
To Salt Lake. City they really do not want to
go To Salt Lake. City and they should have just
forfeited and saved the. Money and they could have just
forfeited and saved the money and that would have been,
that and they chose not to chose not to do. It,
so my, God Holy, canola that was. DISGUSTING i think
that nine nine was?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
It nine? TURNOVERS i think in the first, quarter so
Bad god that they.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Sucked but you, KNOW i, mean you, know you know
what it probably, Was kawhi was tired from his other.
Job kawhi was probably busy at his other, job and he,
couldn't you, know he couldn't get out there and play
because you, know it's very.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Difficult this job is not that.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Easy they're a TEAM i want the worst teams in THE.
Nba SO i felt behind by twenty four points in
the first in the first. QUARTER i did a podcast last.
WEEK i talked about a FRIENDSHIP i had with the
(24:17):
Late Bill, fitch who coached in THE nba for a
number of, years And bill kind of educated me on
life in THE nba and like the Behind, now that
was a different.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
TIME i understand it was a long time ago and
he's gone.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Now but he explained to, me he's, listen if you play,
hard disciplined, basketball the difference between the worst team and the.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Best team is not that big a. Gap where the.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Games the way the league is designed is that the
games will we close with about four or five minutes
to go in the, game and then whoever plays better
in that stretch is going to win the. Game and
some of these teams it's it's The clippers never led
against The Utah. Jazz Did Carl malone suit up in John?
(24:59):
Stock then did they bring back from the other Side Mark?
Eaton and did they Find Greg ulster tag somewhere and
bring him?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Back man?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
MAN a lot of that was epically. Pathetic, now there
were a bunch of pathetic performances in THE, nba including
The Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Hawks how bad were?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
They they got a CAPITAL e grade From Trey, young
their star. Player hawks embarrassing opening, night And Trey young
did say that they were, embarrassed which is that's. True
they should have done something about that before before the. Game, absolutely,
(25:42):
absolutely let's go to the. Phones we got a man
caching a golden, ticket so he goes right to the
front of.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The, line no waiting at, all Mister. Irrigation, hello Mister, irrigation. Welcome.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Hey, yeah that's kind of a DIFFERENT i guess in
the show yesterday and then lead off. TONIGHT i don't
Think i've ever done that. BEFORE i want a bunch
of gold of, tickets BUT i don't Think i've ever done.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
That so we are now listening to radio. History mister.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Irrigation you're both the closer and the leadoff hitter at
the same.
Speaker 8 (26:16):
Time, Congratulations, BEN i got in on the first hour
SO i could say hello to your pinpals who only
can listen there in that first hour at, least that's
what the last letter you read on.

That that's.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Right we have we call those incarcerated. Listeners, yes they're
big fans of the. Show they love the, show and
for some, reason those evil prison guards will not allow
them to listen real. Some we have some that listen
the first, hour and then there's others that are able
to listen early on on The east, coast there's some
(26:48):
that will listen like early on the last. Hour so
it's but in, BETWEEN i guess they can't. LISTEN i
don't know what's up with, That.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Ben about just to talk a little bit about for
The texans Blow, man their offense is so. Bad do
you have a suggestion, THOUGH i was thinking some paaraway
skirts for the backfield would uh the offensive backfield With
hill Tremendously.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Well you have to you have to check with THE
nfl shop on.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
THAT i don't. Know you have.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
To it's all about, branding as you, know mister. Irrigation
so you could wear anything if it has the shield
logo on, it and if it has your team. Logo
i'm told you can wear whatever you.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Want so you are not entertained by the Morbid texans.
Offense you.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Know and NOW i got a lot of, crap, mistergation
people that live in your. Town you live in The houston,
area BECAUSE i got to TAKE i appreciate. THAT i
did a rant before the season about C. J. STROUD
i was critical of C. J. Stroud there were people
that got very upset and, said, well that's why you're
doing overnight so that you don't know what you're talking.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
About you're not in. Town we know you.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Know they gave me the Whole we know better than
you because we're in we're In. Houston we know this.
Ballplayer we know how good he. Is you just don't
know how good he. Is you're, Wrong, okay so we.
Are we're about midway through the.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Season C. J stroud has the same passer rating as Justin.
Fields your, thoughts.
Speaker 7 (28:14):
Well THEN i agree he. HAS i think it's the.
COACHING i don't know for, sure but this guy was
really it seemed like he was enthused and wanting TO i,
mean he didn't get a happy feet in the. Bucket
this guy's dancing around LIKE i don't, know like a
disco duck playing in the back.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Round, however, however didn't you just fire the offensive coordinator last?
Year you said it was coaching last year and you.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Blazed the turnover rate at that place is. Ridiculous they
need to start at the top and clean Out cal
and his goofy, craft because he's better. Off he should
be BREEDING akc black. Labs he does not need to
be okay running in THE nfl.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Team, yeah well that's that's the second. Generation that's the, problem,
Right this always. Happens you get the second, generation AND
i just know the.
Speaker 7 (29:05):
Kids the girl up at The colt is doing?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Great is this she's the third?
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Generation that second, generation she's the third generation because er,
Say Jim orsay inherited the team from his old man
who moved the team From. Baltimore and then this is
the third.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Generation, well you know they.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
Came From dallas to originally you, know begin with they
were The Dallas texans and then turned into The Baltimore.
COLT i think it was fifty. ONE i don't like. That,

since then began. It if you look at What Bud
(29:44):
adams did and what the McNair's have, Done, yeah there's,
no there's, no there's no. COMPARISON i mean the McNair's

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
