Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Laca. It's our number one on this sinko Demio.
It's our number one of the Ben Mathers Show. We
stet up all night providing you with a fresh pod
and it's all about pro bouncy ball here in our
number one. Who gets the blame? We like to play
the blame game as San Antonio stumbles at home in
(00:21):
Game one? Who gets the blame Tex mex for the
Spurs as they do not get or done at the beginning?
There also, what does this performance by ant man in
Minnesota do for his status in the NBA? And do
you give Joel Embiid and Philly a mulligan for the
(00:42):
Game one dud against the Knickerbockers. They lost by almost
forty points, but they played a seven game series, so
we're supposed to give him a pass, my ass. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is settling. It's our number one. All that work for
home cooking, it goes right out the window, right out
(01:04):
the window. Welcome in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air m
rewere as we have a slugfest and we always stay
demented in the overnight, coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and lavishly powerful microphones of
(01:29):
fsre ammating live from the tier the tear drop Jumper.
That's right, Benny Buckets, they called me back in the day.
Garon teed Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
where Inca Terror reminds us that this hour is made
(01:52):
possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like
Malar Prop, Guy fer Dog and Alf the Alien o
Pinter find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive ship fast and freeback by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options which Kathy and Maddison love
(02:16):
so much like mobile tire installation tire rack dot com
the way the tire buying should be. And I think
it was either Jonathan and Delaware or Stevie Meatballs who said,
can you please, Ben let the people know about DraftKings.
I said, you know what, If you want and you
ask and you say the magic word please, I'll do it.
(02:36):
And so they did. And the NBA Playoffs are here,
and DraftKings sports book is an official sports betting partner
of the NBA. Right now, use the promo code Mallard.
It's my last name, m A L l e Er
to claim your special offer at DraftKings again, that's promo
code Mallard at DraftKings. The crown is yours. And we
(03:00):
begin a new year settling in. We'll start with some
pro bouncy ball, as the playoffs will be going on
for the next eighteen months. I believe it's a year
and a half NBA playoff basketball there. They like to
get it quick and over with as soon as possible.
They don't like to drag these things out at all.
So we head to the Alamo. The Spurs back in
(03:23):
the playoffs, of course, advanced through Round one over the
Trailblazers and now taking on the Timberwolves in Game two.
So if you saw this game or not, you're watching observing,
perhaps not. And it was ant Man in many ways
stole the show cause he wasn't supposed to be on
(03:44):
the court. That's why Anthony Edwards had eighteen points. It
was not expected to play in this game. In the
lead up to it, over the weekend they said, wow,
he's not gonna play, and he did, and the Timberwolves
surviving a misshot in the final seconds by the Spurs,
and also a monster defensive performance by Victor Wembanyama. And
(04:09):
so Minnesota wins the game one oh four to one
oh two, And that tells me they only have to
win three more games to get into the next round
of the NBA playoffs. Here, so the conference semi finals
go the way of Minnesota. They get home court advantage.
Back now, when Banyama getting a lot of love. You
have eleven points, fifteen rebounds, and set an NBA postseason
(04:31):
record with twelve blocks, which we think is good. We
think that is good ween ban Yama, the big numbers.
San Antonio, though, ends up on the losing side of
the ledger, and that is the better story. The better
story is in the losing locker room, and that is
a good jogging off point. Let us discuss the question.
We'll keep it simple. Who gets the blame? Text mechs.
(04:53):
Who gets the blame? Text mechs for the Spurs stumbling
and bumbly and falling in the final seconds. They did
have the lead going to the fourth quarter, and San
Antonio loses, Minnesota gets the win. So I've got family
sized platter, phone booth, and mini golf, and we will
combine all of these things together and we're gonna channel
(05:17):
a minor league hockey team years ago called the Macon
Whoopee in Macon, Georgia, and then the great Turk Stevens
who used to work here. Turk was a play by
play announcer for the Macon Whoopie back in the day.
All right, so a the NBA hype machine, the NBA
hype machine is already firing up the excuse generator and
they're not wasting any time at all. They blame everyone
(05:40):
except the person that should be in the blame here,
and we'll break it down for you scientifically as only
we can do. So. They blame the rotation, the coaching
for San Antonio. I'm sure there's some kind of humidity issue.
They want to blame, blame everything and everyone other than
the seven foot something billboard who shot twenty nine percent. Yeah,
(06:07):
I'm going there. Oh you can't go there. You're not
allowed to go there. The NBA marble get you, they'll
a jack. Okay, I'm not worried. I got the Mallard Militia.
They got my back on this. So that's why I
look at it. Tough love, Mallard, tough love, Malar. Did
Victor weinban Yama have a bunch of block shots? Yet?
Do you have a bunch of rebounds? Absolutely? All right. However,
(06:27):
based on a minutes long deliberation after watching this game.
By the way, the broadcast is very boring on this game.
That's a different conversation. Nonetheless, Okay, breaking this game down,
the big giant pile of blame chips and guac goes
to the giant alien, the extraterrestrial Wemby. In fact, he
(06:50):
got a family size platter with an extra side of
salsa because of his offense, defense and rebounding elite obviously
champion level blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. The
issue here is the offense. It was cover your eyes,
plug your ears, don't even ask. Don't even ask, like
(07:13):
a middle school talent show type effort. Offensively, Wemby took
seventeen shots. He missed twelve of them. Twelve of the
seventeen clank doink didn't work out. Now you all told
me he's unguardable. You've told me this, and I'm not
a hater. Of Wemby. It sounds like I'm a hater
of Wemby. I'm not. However, if you're truly unguardable, and
(07:35):
that's on the brochure, and then you go out there
and you were unavailable. And the main issue I had
was in the fourth quarter here he took five shots
on the fourth quarter, made one of them. My computer,
like BRAIND tells me that's twenty percent. Was it amazing
defense by the Timberwolves and that gang and go Bar
and all those gh I think so. I don't think so.
(07:55):
But three points three points for Wemby when the lights
were the brightest here, and that was so bad? How
bad was it? It was so thanks for asking. That
was such a disappearing act. It was worthy of his
own residency in Vegas. And I guess Copper fields out
because he's a creepster, so they had to. They have
an open spot for a magician. So if Wemby wants
(08:15):
to go there, he can settle on into a Vegas residency.
And when nas Reid, Okay nas Read, who isn't even
the best nas Reid in his own house, When nas
Reed and Terence Shannon Junior are outscoring you in the
fourth quarter, and I realize they play on the other team,
(08:35):
but they scored more both of them than Victor Wembanyama did.
We got a problem. Oh, but you're being mean. You're
being mean. Okay, all right, I don't think I am.
If you need the Aaron Fox and Stephen Castle to
give you a federal bailout and you're at home, then
you're not that guy. Yet you get there at some
(08:59):
point possibly guarantee you ever get there. You're not the
super duper star. You're just a basic superstar who's co
dependent in that regard here And why are we even
pretending that he did not serve up on offense a
cold plate of nope, Wemby in this game here, you
(09:19):
gotta put on the afterburners. Do better, be better. We
have high standards here, we absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Minnesota side, this was
a quite the shocking change from what the expected outcome was.
You just assume Anthony Edwards the other day it was like, well,
he's not gonna play, He's not gonna play. In fact,
he's gonna be out. Debbie Downer, he's gonna be out
for the first few games of this series. Maybe the
entire series and the whole thing. And typically these days
(09:46):
NBA players are so soft. When somebody says the guys
are gonna be out, you say, okay, they're done. You know,
you pull old Jason Tatum there and don't show up
to a game seven. This was game one, So you said,
why would you show up to the game one? It's
game one? If guys don't show up to the game seven,
why would you show up to a game one? But
there it was? And was it the greatest performance of
(10:06):
Anthony Edwards's career? No, however, it was good enough in
this game. So the question what does this performance by
ant man due to his status in the NBA. So
Anthony Edwards was not even again supposed to be in
(10:27):
the building, going to get around the clock medical treatment,
all the dramatic reporting and all that the doom and
gloom medical reports about NBA players, that he would miss
the first three or four games at best, at best
which means as good as all the rest, and instead
An Edwards out there, he walked into a phone booth.
I didn't even really had phone booths anymore. He goes
(10:49):
into a phone booth, throws on a cape and all
of a sudden, he's able to give Minnesota twenty five minutes. Now,
was it a vintage performance? Not? What a vintage performance
where there's some loose end that need to be fixed. Sure?
Absolutely absolutely. However, when the expectation is zero and you
do what Anthony Edwards did, that superstar math here and again,
(11:13):
I put that side by side with Jason Tatum. If
I remember Coink Joel Missoula on Friday of last week
said Tatum is healthy and we'll play in Game seven. Well,
over the weekend, Tatum was a healthy scratch. He did
not did not play in Game seven. He went a
wall and we know what happened there Boston. He had
(11:36):
the ghost of Jason Tatum there on the sidelines as
a cheerleader. He did not have the outfit on. He
was right there. And then Anthony Edwards goes out there
like a wounded lion or I guess a wounded timberwolf who
still hunted. And yeah, he didn't just gut it out.
He in many ways played as well offensively. In the
(11:57):
fourth quarter, he'scored eleven points. I know it wasn't all
him and all that, but he was the big man
on campus. Anthony Edwards in the fourth quarter eleven points.
And you look at the shooting seventy one percent in
the fourth quarter, and to put that in perspective, the
guy that wasn't even supposed to play, the guy that
wasn't even supposed to play, Edwards had as many points
(12:19):
in the final quarter as Wemby had the entire night,
the entire night. And that is a status separator, is
what that is. And that's an anti Edwards signature shoe
type commercial. That was Game one. It wasn't Game seven,
it was Game one. So it's that that kind of thing.
He rows up, and so you do, you do move
(12:40):
up a little bit. In an era where the players
are about as soft as you could possibly be. They
should all be sponsored by Marshmallows. It's refreshing to see
someone who's not supposed to play actually go out there
and play. And so in my book, Anthony Edwards leapfrogs
up a couple of notches, So good job by him. Meanwhile,
(13:01):
last word, we go to Madison Square Garden, the mecca
in midtown Manhattan where Jalen Brunson had it all going.
In the first I've hit thirty five points, but twenty
seven of them in the first quarter. I didn't play
in the NBA. I'm told that's pretty good. And the
Knickerbockers with a historic run. Now there is no such
(13:22):
thing as momentum, but the Knicks vaporizing the pathetic Philadelphia
seventy six Ers by thirty nine points in a playoff game.
This was not the second night of a back to
back and the fourth and five nights in January. This
is May. It's the NBA playoffs, and the Sixers quit.
(13:44):
They quit in this game. They did My god, horrific,
absolutely horrific. The nexts become the first team in NBA
history win three straight postseason games by at least twenty
five points, and they continue on upward and onward. Here
the Knickerbockers is they dismantled Atlanta and they're opening a
(14:08):
playoff series. They shot sixty three percent, led by forty points,
led by as many as forty points in this game.
Og Nnobi had eighteen seven of eight shooting. Everyone had
a great night. It's very easy to do that. When
Philadelphia quit. It's pretty embarrassing for the Sixers for sure,
(14:30):
and the excusemakers are saying, now this drives me insane.
So the excusemakers in the NBA are like, well, the
Sixers get a pass. They had to play seven games.
They played on Saturday, and then they had to come
back to work on Monday. Oh my god. This is
like being in some kind of sweat shops some were
making basketball shoes, or you're at some kind of labor
(14:52):
camp in North Korea. So you played, This is amazing.
So you had to play on Saturday at you know,
in the evening or whatever, and then you come back
and you had to play on Monday. You had a
day off. Oh, by god, mercy, mercy. So the question,
(15:13):
I think you know my answer. I've got a bad
poker face. So the question, do you give Joel Embiid
and Philadelphia a mulligan? Like many in the mainstream basketball
media seem to be doing that Game one you can't
really trust them, you can't well, you can't be upset
with them. I was going to try to say the
Sixers because of Game one against the Knicks, they just
(15:33):
had a bad day. So a mulligan, for ex why
would you get a mulligan? You didn't compete, you didn't
show up, you didn't seem to care, Give me a break.
This is supposedly you're playing for a championship, and it's
got all this meaning and all this stuff. It's the
NBA Playoffs. It's not recess. You're in fourth grade. You're
(15:57):
at recess playing some elementary school basketball. You're not, and
we don't really care if you're tired. You don't get
sympathy for that. In fact, you're supposed to. You're supposed
to be able to overcome that. The whole point is
you overcome that. You don't get a do over. There's
(16:18):
no do over here because the Celtics. Oh, the Celtics
made the Sixers work in Game seven on Saturday. Oh
my god, so bad. Yeah, just a nightmare. So I
guess it's okay that the Sixers they quit. You don't
lose a game by that many points. You're not down
by forty if you're trying, I'm sorry, you're not okay.
(16:40):
And you tell anyone who knows anything about basketball. If
you're competing, even if you're shorthanded. They weren't shorthanded the Sixers,
you don't end up in that kind of a sinkhole.
It doesn't happen. They quit. Tyrese Maxey was terrible and
Joel Eenbiid said, hold my beer. Combined, they shot thirty percent,
(17:02):
and that's any way. Any way you cut that up,
that's not good. So the Sixers did not lose their legs.
They lost their will to compete, which is on everybody.
It was royally pathetic, a monarchy type meltdown for the
Philadelphia seventy six ers here and the playoffs are supposed
to be the old War of attrition. It's an endurance test,
(17:22):
and Philadelphia failed the beep test in the first sixty seconds.
So bad job by. You don't roll over like a
house cat and expect a pat on the head. It's
not how this works. No, I should say, that's not
how it works around here. I'm sure there'll be plenty
of fun boys in the media that will make excuses
(17:44):
and it's okay and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And so don't blame them.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Oh my god, don't be mean.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
God.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I hate that. So many of that, so much of
that attitude going around. We don't give out Mulligan's there's
no Malard mulligan for this. It's professional. It's basketball. We're
not playing hitch pitch putt golf. There's no windmill here
in the mini golf course. These Sixers were not exhausted,
they were exposed. And the question I had, and I
wonder if you had the same question. I'm watching this game,
(18:11):
I said, how the f did Jalen Brown and the
Celtics not even without Jason's deep? How do you not
win against the Sixers? Now? Who knows? The Celtics obviously
have some issues right now, and I don't like the
way they play. They just shoot seventy five three point
shots a game or whatever. Still, that's an end. If
I own the Celtics, I would fire Joel Mizzoula. After
(18:33):
watching the way the Sixers came out against the Decks,
I'd be like, we gotta get rid of our coach.
This is this is unacceptable. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

say hello there FSR Tech Queen want to talk to me?
And Kooble Loop at a Brocko Fin that's a Brocko
fan and you can be part of it. And Ben
writes in Lister. Ben says, Mallard dejected your guy Wemby
(21:54):
took the l in Game one. Courtesy of ant uh Uh.
I'm not dejected. I could. I'm the opposite. I'm like
one hundred and eighty degrees away from dejected. I'm fine.
I am Switzerland watching these games. I have no skin
in the game. In fact, I have more friends in
Minnesota than doing San Antonio. If you go by that,
(22:15):
you know said come on, Although I would argue hollering,
James couldn't name three players on the Timberwolves right now,
and he'll call up I'm sure he might be on hold.
My board is frozen, so I don't know. He might
call up here and say, hey, how about the Wolves,
you know, and then we're like, well, I don't know
when we do with that. You can't name three players
on the team? King Roy writes in from Wisconsin. He
(22:36):
says it sounds like Wemby just made a few more
blocks than the Spur. If you'd made a few more blocks,
the Spurs would have won the game. Now for the
seventy six ers, they have the Knicks just where they
want them, giving them a false sense of hope. We
all know how the Knicks are at blowing playoff series.
Oh yeah, I'm not sitting here. The Sixers are embarrassing.
(22:56):
I'm not gonna sit here buying this microphone, very powerful
micro from the bully pulpit at Fox Sports Radio and
say by any means that series is over. Even if
the Knicks win by fifty in Game two, I'm still
not saying it's over because they still have Karl Anthony
Towns on that team, and I don't trust that group
right now, it's looking pretty good. But he's like, come on,
(23:18):
come on, now, what are you doing? Let's see here.
Late Night Drug Tester says, dude, to circumstances beyond my control,
may not be able to interact live with the show.
Boss is on site. How dare the boss? What's wrong
with you? Give me your boss's number, Late Night Drug Tester,
You've got a side hustle. So he's actually answering some
of the questions are it's not how it works there,
bad job by you? What do we have here? Shannon
(23:41):
Moyes says, Mark the full name guy, did not lie
to you. I did ask him to call early and often.
He's a show legend, he says. Shane and de Moine
and I found a younger picture of Mark, by the way, well, yeah,
that's good. Was that when he was born? Is that
the first picture his parents took of him? I can't
see it, so the joke doesn't really work other than
(24:02):
Shane and des Moines, who can see exactly the photo.
And then there you go. Now, ferg Dog writes, and
he says, just like those who are surprised when Ben
takes a rare and appropriate day off, he says for
those people not listening to the fifth hour, if you
didn't see Minnesota winning Game one, you outed yourself for
(24:23):
not following Gunner's newsletter best basketball mind in the biz. Okay,
all right, well that's interesting. Let's go to the phones
and we'll start out with a heavy hitter. We go
right to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello Lucky Tony.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Hey man, what would I say to someone who made
sweet Lovin? To Veronica Lil?

Speaker 6 (24:58):
Ben, Hi Anthony, how was your weekend?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Well? Thanks for asking, Anthony. I appreciate that had a
good recovery weekend and a lot of traveling. It was
a helter skelter weekend the week before. And I'm ready
to go. I'm back, I've got my mojo back, and
I'm ready for another adventure. Because life's all about the adventure, Anthony,
As you know, it's about the adventure, right, Yes, yes,
(25:23):
what me?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
What was that you tell me the first day Minnesota Beach,
San Antonio?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yes, yes, shocking studding studying what. Yeah, I know you
seem overwhelmed. Try to you're for clem try to calm down.
You're very emotional, and I understand why you would be emotional.
That was not supposed to happen. The san Antonio at
home the better team, you figure, Anthony Edwards, even though
(25:52):
he played, he wasn't all right and all great and
all that, and it didn't matter. Isn't that That's why
they play the games? That's yes, san Antonio. By the way,
san Antonio was favored by I think what were they
favored about eleven and a half or something like that. Yeah,
I believe they were fair about eleven and a half
(26:13):
in that game. That's a that's a double digit favorite
for the Spurs and they lost outright.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Maybe the right. Hey, co, good morning, How you doing.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
When are you inviting Loraina to the family party? Are
you having like a barbecue or something like that this

that one. All right, okay, very good? Well, thank you, Anthony.
Not even to mention a Coop. Have you known? He's
just completely forgotten about Coop, Like he knows, Anthony. He
has to acknowledge me a little bit now. But Coop,
no acknowledgment, no acknowledgment at all. Eight seven seven ninety

I had to go to Liyanma, Ohio, and then drive
down to Cincinnati. I just couldn't make the trip. Man,
I'm very sorry I missed it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's all right, it's final happens. It's all good. You know.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Next time, Hey, maybe I'll try and be at the
reunion one next year.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, I would love to do a reunion. We had
a great turnout and it was a great fan who
came out to the event. Andy was there, and Andy
did not think anyone was going to show up. He
was shocked that people showed up.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
So well, shame on Andy. Anyway, try and talk a
little sense then, he I'm going to give you an
A plus plus on the monologue.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I'm mean, really, well, thank you.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
The NIXT beat Boston, which I love. First of all,
many I appreciate the NBA players, you know why, the hustle,
the grind.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Up and down the court.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I mean, they're running. I don't think anybody's in any
any better shape than NBA guys. I mean, I really
really don't, man, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm gonna go like people, Well, there's athletes that we
don't pay attention to because it's not fun to talk about,
like people that run marathons and things like that.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
You know, but how you know, yeah, what the for
the sisers to beat to sell that's and then turn
around and lose by forty points?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
It was only thirty nine, So come, I don't don't go,
don't be negative. It was only thirty nine, right, right, right, but.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Can you say, can you tell a little w ke
up out on that look in the in the bubble,
w ke up in the.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Bubble over the head.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yes, well, whatever you just said, we will will do that. Like,
what what are you doing? Bad job?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Can you call shenanigans on the NBA in overall though?
Can you?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I do it every night, every night I call shenanigans.
It's my job in life to do Shenanigans standing.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So all right, body, I mean no, I guess that's
what I will say.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
All right, you said it, dam well, thank you Stanley.
All right, I'm gonna go. Well, there you go this
cardiac Stanley alive and well but unable to attend. We
had cardiac Stanley was not there far out. Dave did
not show up. He did not attend the event. He
said he was gonna be there. Bad job by him, right,
So we had some people that weren't supposed to show
up that showed up. So it even do it even done?
(29:59):
You know, let's if you can't make it. I understand
you got things going on in your life. So the
nitpicking department from the NBA Anthony Edwards giving the low
down on his performance. Now I thought he played pretty well,
concerning he wasn't supposed to play in the game at
all in Minnesota, a double digit underdog on the road
and they win the game. And Anthony Edwards, of course
(30:21):
wearing the trademarket Landam Braves hat and the sunglasses. In
the postgame news compact on the court, he actually said
that he was upset with the way he played, and
afterwards he continued the conversation. He said, quote, I made
so many mistakes at the end of the game. I'm
disappointed myself. He said. For me, Anthony A Were was saying,
seventy five percent of the game is my mind. My
(30:43):
mind got to be where it needed to eat. In
the last two minutes of the game, it wasn't gave
up two offensive rebounds, turned the ball over and he
said he will get better. We'll see. That's a shot.
He took a shot at San Antoni. He's like, Anthony
Edwards is like, I'm not even a good and I
beat your pathetic asses. Okay, I am, I'm bad. That
(31:05):
was bad, aunt man, and we still won the game. Okay,
that's what that is. Let's say hello to truck stop fungus.
Truck stop fungus is up next here in Florida. I
thought he was retired. I guess not. Hello, truck stop fungus,
I'm retired.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I'm just sitting here drinking a beer tonight, just talking
about the Timberwolves here with the old battle axe.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, well, it's good and glad that you've chosen to
call eating chili like you usually do.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
No, I had.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I had some cheeses for dinner tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Seems pretty healthy and it works exactly doctor recommended, if
it depends what you name me. The doctor is.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Doctor recommends a lot of pills for me, and I
don't take him. I just eat cheese its and some bananas.
Been working for me.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Seems like a good strategy.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, yeah, it works. Oh. I may not live very long,
but at least I'm living.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You're enjoying yourself right here. It's not how long you live,
it's the quality of life you're You're enjoying your life.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's just a good life. I'm sitting here in my
tidy whities tonight after that timber Wolves game, and I'm wondering,
I mean, are they actually the timber You know, I'm
from Minnesota, I'm down here now in Florida, nice and warm,
living by the by the beach.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Well, it's required if you if you're from a cold place,
you have to move to Florida and retires. That's how
that works. Yeah, they'll actually they'll actually arrest you if
you don't move to Florida and retire.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
So, oh you have to. And I got to say
I have to do that because Anthony.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
So required if it's very important you say that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yeah, well I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, go ahead, here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Is Minnesota actually good enough to actually win this series?
I mean they won tonight by a shoe string.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And yeah, absolutely they're good or now they can win
this series. It wouldn't be like if Anthony Edwards is
going to play absolutely they can win this series. Well
they're not. They're gonna have to win another game in
San Antonio because they're not going to sweep the games
at home, so they're gonna have to win another game there. However,
that works. The math on that, the malor math. But
there has been one of the better teams in the
NBA the last couple of years. They didn't have a
(33:25):
great regular season, but the were guys hurt. So they
say that's why.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And we'll see the ant man just took a couple
of freaking advil and then decided that he was going
to come back. And we're like, what the hell is
going on?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I know, it's shocking that someone actually wants to show
up and play and compete. I mean, we're not used
to that. It's not the way it's supposed to work.
Truck Stop Fungus, not in Minnesota, it's not. That's right,
all right, get back to your whatever you choose. It's
all right. I got your bow guarding at the time.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I got I got, I got my Maden NFL going here.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Okay, is it the Is it the latest version or
are you playing an old school Madden game?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
No, it's a it's a well it's mad in twenty six.
I'm I'm I'm actually I changed myself over to the
Jets that I'm nine and one right now. So that's
how you know it's.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
A video that is correct, that that's not reality. And
there's no the Jets have never been nine and one
in my lifetimes. All right, thank you, there you go.
Truck Stop Fungus checking in with his tidy whities. Mark

You Dingle Barry.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
What good name?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
You're a Mama loop and you know it.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Good mallor the snattering name Bob of negativity. That's your name,
you know the Casmo sarcasm.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I miss the old days when Marked the full Name
Guy lived in the Tenderloin district and called up with
stories of the streets of San Francisco. That's that. Those
are the days I missed Marked the full Name Guy.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, you'd like to hear me screaming after downing several
ounces of Brandy, don't you.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
It did make for entertaining radio that when you were
not my favorite Marked. My favorite calls of Mark, My
favorite calls from you were when the Giants had their
little dynasty and they were winning the World Series and
you were ripping boche. Those are my favorite memories of Mark,
the full name guy.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
So you're a liar, you did it?
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Ari when he had the same team and they had
the worst record twenty seventeen thirteen collapse the twenty THX
teams they stumped for an entire twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
(36:10):
twenty nineteen. He had the same team, their protunier, so
he had nothing to do with their winning totio.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
They weren't even that good during but the Giants, no,
but they were in the World Series a bunch, But
they weren't even that great during the regular season one.
They would just kind of get in the plug that's right, yeah,
and they wanted to know where you get.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
What they had was they had pitching up the uiniang
and a bullpen. And for Portio, all he had to
do was rage was left handed, right hand. It was
very difficult job.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
But they had mad Bum was insane. I was the
greatest postseason pitcher of my life? Is mad Madison Bumbos insane?
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yeah, I think I'll bring in the lefty. Oh yeah,
just for one batter. Very tough decision.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, are you done?
Speaker 6 (37:02):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I never said he's a genius. I never said that.
I just think it's very odd that you were doing anyway.
I gotta go, but thank you. Go away as Mark

Six to shoot. He settles for the three right side.
It's on its way. That's nothing. But next Anthony Edwards
is third three. He's up to thirteen points. All right?
That was was that Wolves Radio? I believe that sounded
like our old pal former Fox Sports Radio. Alumni member

Holy crap, Well that is the play of the day.

the blame game as San Antonio stumbles at home in
(00:21):
Game one? Who gets the blame Tex mex for the
Spurs as they do not get or done at the beginning?
There also, what does this performance by ant man in
Minnesota do for his status in the NBA? And do
you give Joel Embiid and Philly a mulligan for the
(00:42):
Game one dud against the Knickerbockers. They lost by almost
forty points, but they played a seven game series, so
we're supposed to give him a pass, my ass. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is settling. It's our number one. All that work for
home cooking, it goes right out the window, right out
(01:04):
the window. Welcome in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air m
rewere as we have a slugfest and we always stay
demented in the overnight, coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the vast and lavishly powerful microphones of
(01:29):
fsre ammating live from the tier the tear drop Jumper.
That's right, Benny Buckets, they called me back in the day.
Garon teed Human from the world famous Fox Sports Radio Studios,
where Inca Terror reminds us that this hour is made
(01:52):
possible in part by our friends at ti Iraq. For
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers like
Malar Prop, Guy fer Dog and Alf the Alien o
Pinter find the right tires for how, what and where
they drive ship fast and freeback by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options which Kathy and Maddison love
(02:16):
so much like mobile tire installation tire rack dot com
the way the tire buying should be. And I think
it was either Jonathan and Delaware or Stevie Meatballs who said,
can you please, Ben let the people know about DraftKings.
I said, you know what, If you want and you
ask and you say the magic word please, I'll do it.
(02:36):
And so they did. And the NBA Playoffs are here,
and DraftKings sports book is an official sports betting partner
of the NBA. Right now, use the promo code Mallard.
It's my last name, m A L l e Er
to claim your special offer at DraftKings again, that's promo
code Mallard at DraftKings. The crown is yours. And we
(03:00):
begin a new year settling in. We'll start with some
pro bouncy ball, as the playoffs will be going on
for the next eighteen months. I believe it's a year
and a half NBA playoff basketball there. They like to
get it quick and over with as soon as possible.
They don't like to drag these things out at all.
So we head to the Alamo. The Spurs back in
(03:23):
the playoffs, of course, advanced through Round one over the
Trailblazers and now taking on the Timberwolves in Game two.
So if you saw this game or not, you're watching observing,
perhaps not. And it was ant Man in many ways
stole the show cause he wasn't supposed to be on
(03:44):
the court. That's why Anthony Edwards had eighteen points. It
was not expected to play in this game. In the
lead up to it, over the weekend they said, wow,
he's not gonna play, and he did, and the Timberwolves
surviving a misshot in the final seconds by the Spurs,
and also a monster defensive performance by Victor Wembanyama. And
(04:09):
so Minnesota wins the game one oh four to one
oh two, And that tells me they only have to
win three more games to get into the next round
of the NBA playoffs. Here, so the conference semi finals
go the way of Minnesota. They get home court advantage.
Back now, when Banyama getting a lot of love. You
have eleven points, fifteen rebounds, and set an NBA postseason
(04:31):
record with twelve blocks, which we think is good. We
think that is good ween ban Yama, the big numbers.
San Antonio, though, ends up on the losing side of
the ledger, and that is the better story. The better
story is in the losing locker room, and that is
a good jogging off point. Let us discuss the question.
We'll keep it simple. Who gets the blame? Text mechs.
(04:53):
Who gets the blame? Text mechs for the Spurs stumbling
and bumbly and falling in the final seconds. They did
have the lead going to the fourth quarter, and San
Antonio loses, Minnesota gets the win. So I've got family
sized platter, phone booth, and mini golf, and we will
combine all of these things together and we're gonna channel
(05:17):
a minor league hockey team years ago called the Macon
Whoopee in Macon, Georgia, and then the great Turk Stevens
who used to work here. Turk was a play by
play announcer for the Macon Whoopie back in the day.
All right, so a the NBA hype machine, the NBA
hype machine is already firing up the excuse generator and
they're not wasting any time at all. They blame everyone
(05:40):
except the person that should be in the blame here,
and we'll break it down for you scientifically as only
we can do. So. They blame the rotation, the coaching
for San Antonio. I'm sure there's some kind of humidity issue.
They want to blame, blame everything and everyone other than
the seven foot something billboard who shot twenty nine percent. Yeah,
(06:07):
I'm going there. Oh you can't go there. You're not
allowed to go there. The NBA marble get you, they'll
a jack. Okay, I'm not worried. I got the Mallard Militia.
They got my back on this. So that's why I
look at it. Tough love, Mallard, tough love, Malar. Did
Victor weinban Yama have a bunch of block shots? Yet?
Do you have a bunch of rebounds? Absolutely? All right. However,
(06:27):
based on a minutes long deliberation after watching this game.
By the way, the broadcast is very boring on this game.
That's a different conversation. Nonetheless, Okay, breaking this game down,
the big giant pile of blame chips and guac goes
to the giant alien, the extraterrestrial Wemby. In fact, he
(06:50):
got a family size platter with an extra side of
salsa because of his offense, defense and rebounding elite obviously
champion level blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. The
issue here is the offense. It was cover your eyes,
plug your ears, don't even ask. Don't even ask, like
(07:13):
a middle school talent show type effort. Offensively, Wemby took
seventeen shots. He missed twelve of them. Twelve of the
seventeen clank doink didn't work out. Now you all told
me he's unguardable. You've told me this, and I'm not
a hater. Of Wemby. It sounds like I'm a hater
of Wemby. I'm not. However, if you're truly unguardable, and
(07:35):
that's on the brochure, and then you go out there
and you were unavailable. And the main issue I had
was in the fourth quarter here he took five shots
on the fourth quarter, made one of them. My computer,
like BRAIND tells me that's twenty percent. Was it amazing
defense by the Timberwolves and that gang and go Bar
and all those gh I think so. I don't think so.
(07:55):
But three points three points for Wemby when the lights
were the brightest here, and that was so bad? How
bad was it? It was so thanks for asking. That
was such a disappearing act. It was worthy of his
own residency in Vegas. And I guess Copper fields out
because he's a creepster, so they had to. They have
an open spot for a magician. So if Wemby wants
(08:15):
to go there, he can settle on into a Vegas residency.
And when nas Reid, Okay nas Read, who isn't even
the best nas Reid in his own house, When nas
Reed and Terence Shannon Junior are outscoring you in the
fourth quarter, and I realize they play on the other team,
(08:35):
but they scored more both of them than Victor Wembanyama did.
We got a problem. Oh, but you're being mean. You're
being mean. Okay, all right, I don't think I am.
If you need the Aaron Fox and Stephen Castle to
give you a federal bailout and you're at home, then
you're not that guy. Yet you get there at some
(08:59):
point possibly guarantee you ever get there. You're not the
super duper star. You're just a basic superstar who's co
dependent in that regard here And why are we even
pretending that he did not serve up on offense a
cold plate of nope, Wemby in this game here, you
(09:19):
gotta put on the afterburners. Do better, be better. We
have high standards here, we absolutely do.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Minnesota side, this was
a quite the shocking change from what the expected outcome was.
You just assume Anthony Edwards the other day it was like, well,
he's not gonna play, He's not gonna play. In fact,
he's gonna be out. Debbie Downer, he's gonna be out
for the first few games of this series. Maybe the
entire series and the whole thing. And typically these days
(09:46):
NBA players are so soft. When somebody says the guys
are gonna be out, you say, okay, they're done. You know,
you pull old Jason Tatum there and don't show up
to a game seven. This was game one, So you said,
why would you show up to the game one? It's
game one? If guys don't show up to the game seven,
why would you show up to a game one? But
there it was? And was it the greatest performance of
(10:06):
Anthony Edwards's career? No, however, it was good enough in
this game. So the question what does this performance by
ant man due to his status in the NBA. So
Anthony Edwards was not even again supposed to be in
(10:27):
the building, going to get around the clock medical treatment,
all the dramatic reporting and all that the doom and
gloom medical reports about NBA players, that he would miss
the first three or four games at best, at best
which means as good as all the rest, and instead
An Edwards out there, he walked into a phone booth.
I didn't even really had phone booths anymore. He goes
(10:49):
into a phone booth, throws on a cape and all
of a sudden, he's able to give Minnesota twenty five minutes. Now,
was it a vintage performance? Not? What a vintage performance
where there's some loose end that need to be fixed. Sure?
Absolutely absolutely. However, when the expectation is zero and you
do what Anthony Edwards did, that superstar math here and again,
(11:13):
I put that side by side with Jason Tatum. If
I remember Coink Joel Missoula on Friday of last week
said Tatum is healthy and we'll play in Game seven. Well,
over the weekend, Tatum was a healthy scratch. He did
not did not play in Game seven. He went a
wall and we know what happened there Boston. He had
(11:36):
the ghost of Jason Tatum there on the sidelines as
a cheerleader. He did not have the outfit on. He
was right there. And then Anthony Edwards goes out there
like a wounded lion or I guess a wounded timberwolf who
still hunted. And yeah, he didn't just gut it out.
He in many ways played as well offensively. In the
(11:57):
fourth quarter, he'scored eleven points. I know it wasn't all
him and all that, but he was the big man
on campus. Anthony Edwards in the fourth quarter eleven points.
And you look at the shooting seventy one percent in
the fourth quarter, and to put that in perspective, the
guy that wasn't even supposed to play, the guy that
wasn't even supposed to play, Edwards had as many points
(12:19):
in the final quarter as Wemby had the entire night,
the entire night. And that is a status separator, is
what that is. And that's an anti Edwards signature shoe
type commercial. That was Game one. It wasn't Game seven,
it was Game one. So it's that that kind of thing.
He rows up, and so you do, you do move
(12:40):
up a little bit. In an era where the players
are about as soft as you could possibly be. They
should all be sponsored by Marshmallows. It's refreshing to see
someone who's not supposed to play actually go out there
and play. And so in my book, Anthony Edwards leapfrogs
up a couple of notches, So good job by him. Meanwhile,
(13:01):
last word, we go to Madison Square Garden, the mecca
in midtown Manhattan where Jalen Brunson had it all going.
In the first I've hit thirty five points, but twenty
seven of them in the first quarter. I didn't play
in the NBA. I'm told that's pretty good. And the
Knickerbockers with a historic run. Now there is no such
(13:22):
thing as momentum, but the Knicks vaporizing the pathetic Philadelphia
seventy six Ers by thirty nine points in a playoff game.
This was not the second night of a back to
back and the fourth and five nights in January. This
is May. It's the NBA playoffs, and the Sixers quit.
(13:44):
They quit in this game. They did My god, horrific,
absolutely horrific. The nexts become the first team in NBA
history win three straight postseason games by at least twenty
five points, and they continue on upward and onward. Here
the Knickerbockers is they dismantled Atlanta and they're opening a
(14:08):
playoff series. They shot sixty three percent, led by forty points,
led by as many as forty points in this game.
Og Nnobi had eighteen seven of eight shooting. Everyone had
a great night. It's very easy to do that. When
Philadelphia quit. It's pretty embarrassing for the Sixers for sure,
(14:30):
and the excusemakers are saying, now this drives me insane.
So the excusemakers in the NBA are like, well, the
Sixers get a pass. They had to play seven games.
They played on Saturday, and then they had to come
back to work on Monday. Oh my god. This is
like being in some kind of sweat shops some were
making basketball shoes, or you're at some kind of labor
(14:52):
camp in North Korea. So you played, This is amazing.
So you had to play on Saturday at you know,
in the evening or whatever, and then you come back
and you had to play on Monday. You had a
day off. Oh, by god, mercy, mercy. So the question,
(15:13):
I think you know my answer. I've got a bad
poker face. So the question, do you give Joel Embiid
and Philadelphia a mulligan? Like many in the mainstream basketball
media seem to be doing that Game one you can't
really trust them, you can't well, you can't be upset
with them. I was going to try to say the
Sixers because of Game one against the Knicks, they just
(15:33):
had a bad day. So a mulligan, for ex why
would you get a mulligan? You didn't compete, you didn't
show up, you didn't seem to care, Give me a break.
This is supposedly you're playing for a championship, and it's
got all this meaning and all this stuff. It's the
NBA Playoffs. It's not recess. You're in fourth grade. You're
(15:57):
at recess playing some elementary school basketball. You're not, and
we don't really care if you're tired. You don't get
sympathy for that. In fact, you're supposed to. You're supposed
to be able to overcome that. The whole point is
you overcome that. You don't get a do over. There's
(16:18):
no do over here because the Celtics. Oh, the Celtics
made the Sixers work in Game seven on Saturday. Oh
my god, so bad. Yeah, just a nightmare. So I
guess it's okay that the Sixers they quit. You don't
lose a game by that many points. You're not down
by forty if you're trying, I'm sorry, you're not okay.
(16:40):
And you tell anyone who knows anything about basketball. If
you're competing, even if you're shorthanded. They weren't shorthanded the Sixers,
you don't end up in that kind of a sinkhole.
It doesn't happen. They quit. Tyrese Maxey was terrible and
Joel Eenbiid said, hold my beer. Combined, they shot thirty percent,
(17:02):
and that's any way. Any way you cut that up,
that's not good. So the Sixers did not lose their legs.
They lost their will to compete, which is on everybody.
It was royally pathetic, a monarchy type meltdown for the
Philadelphia seventy six ers here and the playoffs are supposed
to be the old War of attrition. It's an endurance test,
(17:22):
and Philadelphia failed the beep test in the first sixty seconds.
So bad job by. You don't roll over like a
house cat and expect a pat on the head. It's
not how this works. No, I should say, that's not
how it works around here. I'm sure there'll be plenty
of fun boys in the media that will make excuses
(17:44):
and it's okay and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
And so don't blame them.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Oh my god, don't be mean.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
God.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I hate that. So many of that, so much of
that attitude going around. We don't give out Mulligan's there's
no Malard mulligan for this. It's professional. It's basketball. We're
not playing hitch pitch putt golf. There's no windmill here
in the mini golf course. These Sixers were not exhausted,
they were exposed. And the question I had, and I
wonder if you had the same question. I'm watching this game,
(18:11):
I said, how the f did Jalen Brown and the
Celtics not even without Jason's deep? How do you not
win against the Sixers? Now? Who knows? The Celtics obviously
have some issues right now, and I don't like the
way they play. They just shoot seventy five three point
shots a game or whatever. Still, that's an end. If
I own the Celtics, I would fire Joel Mizzoula. After
(18:33):
watching the way the Sixers came out against the Decks,
I'd be like, we gotta get rid of our coach.
This is this is unacceptable. It is the Ben Mahler Show.

And Kooble Loop at a Brocko Fin that's a Brocko
fan and you can be part of it. And Ben
writes in Lister. Ben says, Mallard dejected your guy Wemby
(21:54):
took the l in Game one. Courtesy of ant uh Uh.
I'm not dejected. I could. I'm the opposite. I'm like
one hundred and eighty degrees away from dejected. I'm fine.
I am Switzerland watching these games. I have no skin
in the game. In fact, I have more friends in
Minnesota than doing San Antonio. If you go by that,
(22:15):
you know said come on, Although I would argue hollering,
James couldn't name three players on the Timberwolves right now,
and he'll call up I'm sure he might be on hold.
My board is frozen, so I don't know. He might
call up here and say, hey, how about the Wolves,
you know, and then we're like, well, I don't know
when we do with that. You can't name three players
on the team? King Roy writes in from Wisconsin. He
(22:36):
says it sounds like Wemby just made a few more
blocks than the Spur. If you'd made a few more blocks,
the Spurs would have won the game. Now for the
seventy six ers, they have the Knicks just where they
want them, giving them a false sense of hope. We
all know how the Knicks are at blowing playoff series.
Oh yeah, I'm not sitting here. The Sixers are embarrassing.
(22:56):
I'm not gonna sit here buying this microphone, very powerful
micro from the bully pulpit at Fox Sports Radio and
say by any means that series is over. Even if
the Knicks win by fifty in Game two, I'm still
not saying it's over because they still have Karl Anthony
Towns on that team, and I don't trust that group
right now, it's looking pretty good. But he's like, come on,
(23:18):
come on, now, what are you doing? Let's see here.
Late Night Drug Tester says, dude, to circumstances beyond my control,
may not be able to interact live with the show.
Boss is on site. How dare the boss? What's wrong
with you? Give me your boss's number, Late Night Drug Tester,
You've got a side hustle. So he's actually answering some
of the questions are it's not how it works there,
bad job by you? What do we have here? Shannon
(23:41):
Moyes says, Mark the full name guy, did not lie
to you. I did ask him to call early and often.
He's a show legend, he says. Shane and de Moine
and I found a younger picture of Mark, by the way, well, yeah,
that's good. Was that when he was born? Is that
the first picture his parents took of him? I can't
see it, so the joke doesn't really work other than
(24:02):
Shane and des Moines, who can see exactly the photo.
And then there you go. Now, ferg Dog writes, and
he says, just like those who are surprised when Ben
takes a rare and appropriate day off, he says for
those people not listening to the fifth hour, if you
didn't see Minnesota winning Game one, you outed yourself for
(24:23):
not following Gunner's newsletter best basketball mind in the biz. Okay,
all right, well that's interesting. Let's go to the phones
and we'll start out with a heavy hitter. We go
right to Lucky Tony in the Bay Area. Hello Lucky Tony.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Hey man, what would I say to someone who made
sweet Lovin? To Veronica Lil?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
I don't know what oob do?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I want to be like you do do?
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Thanks? Ben.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Anthony is in Louisiana on the Ben Malor Show. Hello Anthony, Hey.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Ben, Hi Anthony, how was your weekend?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Well? Thanks for asking, Anthony. I appreciate that had a
good recovery weekend and a lot of traveling. It was
a helter skelter weekend the week before. And I'm ready
to go. I'm back, I've got my mojo back, and
I'm ready for another adventure. Because life's all about the adventure, Anthony,
As you know, it's about the adventure, right, Yes, yes,
(25:23):
what me?
Speaker 6 (25:24):
What was that you tell me the first day Minnesota Beach,
San Antonio?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Yes, yes, shocking studding studying what. Yeah, I know you
seem overwhelmed. Try to you're for clem try to calm down.
You're very emotional, and I understand why you would be emotional.
That was not supposed to happen. The san Antonio at
home the better team, you figure, Anthony Edwards, even though
(25:52):
he played, he wasn't all right and all great and
all that, and it didn't matter. Isn't that That's why
they play the games? That's yes, san Antonio. By the way,
san Antonio was favored by I think what were they
favored about eleven and a half or something like that. Yeah,
I believe they were fair about eleven and a half
(26:13):
in that game. That's a that's a double digit favorite
for the Spurs and they lost outright.
Speaker 6 (26:18):
Maybe the right. Hey, co, good morning, How you doing.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
When are you inviting Loraina to the family party? Are
you having like a barbecue or something like that this
summer or some kind of social event we see? Oh? Really, okay,

That's the go to, right, you got to go with
that one. All right, okay, very good? Well, thank you, Anthony.
Not even to mention a Coop. Have you known? He's
just completely forgotten about Coop, Like he knows, Anthony. He
has to acknowledge me a little bit now. But Coop,
no acknowledgment, no acknowledgment at all. Eight seven seven ninety
(27:17):
nine on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine
nine six sixty three sixty nine. Let's say hello to
a man that went a wall at the big meeting.
We were all excited. We promoted him, We billboarded this guy,
but he was not able to attend. We hope he's okay,
the great cardiac Stanley. Hello Stanley, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Benny, let me talk him.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I had to go.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I had to go to Liyanma, Ohio, and then drive
down to Cincinnati. I just couldn't make the trip. Man,
I'm very sorry I missed it.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
That's all right, it's final happens. It's all good. You know.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Next time, Hey, maybe I'll try and be at the
reunion one next year.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, I would love to do a reunion. We had
a great turnout and it was a great fan who
came out to the event. Andy was there, and Andy
did not think anyone was going to show up. He
was shocked that people showed up.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
So well, shame on Andy. Anyway, try and talk a
little sense then, he I'm going to give you an
A plus plus on the monologue.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
I'm mean, really, well, thank you.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
The NIXT beat Boston, which I love. First of all,
many I appreciate the NBA players, you know why, the hustle,
the grind.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Up and down the court.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
I mean, they're running. I don't think anybody's in any
any better shape than NBA guys. I mean, I really
really don't, man, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
I'm gonna go like people, Well, there's athletes that we
don't pay attention to because it's not fun to talk about,
like people that run marathons and things like that.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
You know, but how you know, yeah, what the for
the sisers to beat to sell that's and then turn
around and lose by forty points?
Speaker 1 (29:00):
It was only thirty nine, So come, I don't don't go,
don't be negative. It was only thirty nine, right, right, right, but.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Can you say, can you tell a little w ke
up out on that look in the in the bubble,
w ke up in the.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Bubble over the head.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yes, well, whatever you just said, we will will do that. Like,
what what are you doing? Bad job?
Speaker 5 (29:19):
Can you call shenanigans on the NBA in overall though?
Can you?
Speaker 1 (29:25):
I do it every night, every night I call shenanigans.
It's my job in life to do Shenanigans standing.
Speaker 5 (29:33):
So all right, body, I mean no, I guess that's
what I will say.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
All right, you said it, dam well, thank you Stanley.
All right, I'm gonna go. Well, there you go this
cardiac Stanley alive and well but unable to attend. We
had cardiac Stanley was not there far out. Dave did
not show up. He did not attend the event. He
said he was gonna be there. Bad job by him, right,
So we had some people that weren't supposed to show
up that showed up. So it even do it even done?
(29:59):
You know, let's if you can't make it. I understand
you got things going on in your life. So the
nitpicking department from the NBA Anthony Edwards giving the low
down on his performance. Now I thought he played pretty well,
concerning he wasn't supposed to play in the game at
all in Minnesota, a double digit underdog on the road
and they win the game. And Anthony Edwards, of course
(30:21):
wearing the trademarket Landam Braves hat and the sunglasses. In
the postgame news compact on the court, he actually said
that he was upset with the way he played, and
afterwards he continued the conversation. He said, quote, I made
so many mistakes at the end of the game. I'm
disappointed myself. He said. For me, Anthony A Were was saying,
seventy five percent of the game is my mind. My
(30:43):
mind got to be where it needed to eat. In
the last two minutes of the game, it wasn't gave
up two offensive rebounds, turned the ball over and he
said he will get better. We'll see. That's a shot.
He took a shot at San Antoni. He's like, Anthony
Edwards is like, I'm not even a good and I
beat your pathetic asses. Okay, I am, I'm bad. That
(31:05):
was bad, aunt man, and we still won the game. Okay,
that's what that is. Let's say hello to truck stop fungus.
Truck stop fungus is up next here in Florida. I
thought he was retired. I guess not. Hello, truck stop fungus,
I'm retired.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
I'm just sitting here drinking a beer tonight, just talking
about the Timberwolves here with the old battle axe.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Okay, well, it's good and glad that you've chosen to
call eating chili like you usually do.
Speaker 6 (31:37):
No, I had.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
I had some cheeses for dinner tonight.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Seems pretty healthy and it works exactly doctor recommended, if
it depends what you name me. The doctor is.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Doctor recommends a lot of pills for me, and I
don't take him. I just eat cheese its and some bananas.
Been working for me.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
For a while.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Seems like a good strategy.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, yeah, it works. Oh. I may not live very long,
but at least I'm living.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
You're enjoying yourself right here. It's not how long you live,
it's the quality of life you're You're enjoying your life.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
That's just a good life. I'm sitting here in my
tidy whities tonight after that timber Wolves game, and I'm wondering,
I mean, are they actually the timber You know, I'm
from Minnesota, I'm down here now in Florida, nice and warm,
living by the by the beach.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
Well, it's required if you if you're from a cold place,
you have to move to Florida and retires. That's how
that works. Yeah, they'll actually they'll actually arrest you if
you don't move to Florida and retire.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
So, oh you have to. And I got to say
I have to do that because Anthony.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
So required if it's very important you say that.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yeah, well I'm just wondering.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, go ahead, here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Is Minnesota actually good enough to actually win this series?
I mean they won tonight by a shoe string.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
And yeah, absolutely they're good or now they can win
this series. It wouldn't be like if Anthony Edwards is
going to play absolutely they can win this series. Well
they're not. They're gonna have to win another game in
San Antonio because they're not going to sweep the games
at home, so they're gonna have to win another game there. However,
that works. The math on that, the malor math. But
there has been one of the better teams in the
NBA the last couple of years. They didn't have a
(33:25):
great regular season, but the were guys hurt. So they
say that's why.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
And we'll see the ant man just took a couple
of freaking advil and then decided that he was going
to come back. And we're like, what the hell is
going on?
Speaker 1 (33:37):
I know, it's shocking that someone actually wants to show
up and play and compete. I mean, we're not used
to that. It's not the way it's supposed to work.
Truck Stop Fungus, not in Minnesota, it's not. That's right,
all right, get back to your whatever you choose. It's
all right. I got your bow guarding at the time.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
I got I got, I got my Maden NFL going here.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Okay, is it the Is it the latest version or
are you playing an old school Madden game?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
No, it's a it's a well it's mad in twenty six.
I'm I'm I'm actually I changed myself over to the
Jets that I'm nine and one right now. So that's
how you know it's.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
A video that is correct, that that's not reality. And
there's no the Jets have never been nine and one
in my lifetimes. All right, thank you, there you go.
Truck Stop Fungus checking in with his tidy whities. Mark
the full name Guy is in Oregon. He's on the
Oregon Trail. Hello, Mark the full name Guy.

You Dingle Barry.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
What good name?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
You're a Mama loop and you know it.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Good mallor the snattering name Bob of negativity. That's your name,
you know the Casmo sarcasm.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I miss the old days when Marked the full Name
Guy lived in the Tenderloin district and called up with
stories of the streets of San Francisco. That's that. Those
are the days I missed Marked the full Name Guy.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Yeah, you'd like to hear me screaming after downing several
ounces of Brandy, don't you.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
It did make for entertaining radio that when you were
not my favorite Marked. My favorite calls of Mark, My
favorite calls from you were when the Giants had their
little dynasty and they were winning the World Series and
you were ripping boche. Those are my favorite memories of Mark,
the full name guy.
Speaker 5 (35:46):
So you're a liar, you did it?
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Ari when he had the same team and they had
the worst record twenty seventeen thirteen collapse the twenty THX
teams they stumped for an entire twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,
(36:10):
twenty nineteen. He had the same team, their protunier, so
he had nothing to do with their winning totio.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
They weren't even that good during but the Giants, no,
but they were in the World Series a bunch, But
they weren't even that great during the regular season one.
They would just kind of get in the plug that's right, yeah,
and they wanted to know where you get.
Speaker 6 (36:33):
What they had was they had pitching up the uiniang
and a bullpen. And for Portio, all he had to
do was rage was left handed, right hand. It was
very difficult job.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
But they had mad Bum was insane. I was the
greatest postseason pitcher of my life? Is mad Madison Bumbos insane?
Speaker 6 (36:52):
Yeah, I think I'll bring in the lefty. Oh yeah,
just for one batter. Very tough decision.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Okay, are you done?
Speaker 6 (37:02):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
I never said he's a genius. I never said that.
I just think it's very odd that you were doing anyway.
I gotta go, but thank you. Go away as Mark
the full name guy, all right where he goes only

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
