Welcome, It's our number one of the original Recipe podcast
back at Urday, New week in the hot microphone section
of the Fox Sports Radio studios. We're hanging out with you,
and we begin this Monday pod with pro bouncy Ball.
What is your ruling on Joe Missoula downplaying that's the
(00:25):
coach of the Celtics, downplaying Kyrie Irving's villain status for
Dallas entering the NBA Finals. Also, Rashid Wallace is the
four Pistons would have beaten the poop out of the
twenty seventeen Warriors.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Where you're at on this one?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And why did Darvin Ham reject a chance to join
the Sun's coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Do not be in a state of shock here it
is our number one.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Let the chatter continue.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Well, come in the beginning of another night, in another week.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Should be in quite the twenty four hours for me,
but we'll get more to that later. Our lead this
hour to begin the week, pro bouncy Ball.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Did you see that NBA Finals game that was played
on Sunday? O? MG, Now you did not.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Now I could have started with hockey and just mocked
Eddie Garcia for disrespecting my Edmonton Oilers, but I'm not
gonna do that. No, No, I'm a stick to my roots
here pro bouncy Ball. We'll get to the Oilers later,
as Eddie had them dead and buried mister hockey over there,
but we'll start out with the gap, not the gap gap,
but the gap the NBA Finals. As you probably know,
(02:37):
they don't get started for like a several more days.
It's our Monday show. They don't have the NBA Finals
until Thursday. One of the big storylines leading into the
finals has been.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
What good versus bad?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Good versus bad?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Kyrie Irving is right out of central casting. He's the villain,
and the Dallas Mavericks or the bad guys. The Celtics
by default are the good guys. So let him play.
Joe commented recently on this dynamic while we were away
from the watchtower here, and I thought this was interesting,
(03:11):
and it's really the story of the finals. It's the
thing that is being used to drum up interest if
you're not from Boston or that region, or Dallas or
that region. So if you didn't hear about this over
the week, maybe not. The Celtics coach Joe Missoula, let
him play, Joe. Joe Missoula he argued that when asked
(03:32):
about Kyrie Irving in his role, he has been characterized.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
As the evil villain.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, Joe Missoula argued that everyone can be seen as
a villain. Aren't we all in someone's eyes? He said,
we're all villains in someone's eyes. He also then slobbered
all over Kyrie Irving, saying that he's a great player,
he's done a lot of good things.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
On and on and on and on.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
All right, so let us discuss the question, what is
your ruling on Joe Missoula down playing right down playing
Kyrie Irving's villain status in the lead up to the
NBA Finals. So I've got Milton Bradley, star wars and
parachute and we will combine all of these things together.
(04:21):
We will throw them against the wall and see what sticks,
all right. So a on the surface, these comments by
coach Joe Sleep, eat Joe whatever you want to come
Joe Mazouol let him play Joe were innocuous.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Hi, that were innocuous.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You hear them and you chuckle. There's a term that
is used in sports. Some call it lou Holtz disease.
That's an old football coach from a million years ago.
Others call it poor mouthing. And that's the classic coaching
technique that calls for the effusive and insincere praise of
(04:59):
the opposition. Kill him with kindness is the mantra for many.
But when you dig a little deeper, it's more right.
It's more than that. And Joe Mizzoula has been around
Boston for a number of years. There he was given
the key to the castle because the previous Celtic coach
he stepped out of class there and had to be
(05:21):
kicked out out of the organization. But Joe Mizzoula, who
didn't really deserve to be the head coach, now he's
the head coach. And so does he know Kyrie? Does
he have a great I don't know. He probably does.
He Proba's a relationship with him. But that response was
Milton Bradley like it was twister. It was Missoula stretching
his hands and his feet all over those multi colored circles,
(05:43):
twisting his body into a pretzel to stretch the truth.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Clear lines have been drawn. That's that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm into it, like I'm pulling for the Celtics. I
don't like Kyrie Irving. How he loses, I don't ever
see him one again. Kyrie Irving's a low level batman
villain in my mind. He's a mischief maker, someone who
is a rogue actor. Now the only hiccup and this
is a problem, and I'm trying to wrap my head
how to get around this. While I have type cast
Kyrie Irving in the NBA Finals as the villain, like
(06:14):
I believe that my issue in this is a rather
big hiccups, A couple of hiccups, a couple of belches.
Is that Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown of the Boston
basketball team. They totally buy the dogma of Kyrie, right.
Kyrie is like a godlike figure for them, it would appear.
So it's Kyrie versus, not Tatum and Brown because they
(06:38):
all want to cuddle up together and eat donuts. It's
Kyrie versus the Boston fans. I and will Kyrie, who's
been on his top behavior here?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I don't know if he's on meds or what.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But will Kyrie be able to control himself when inevitably
something will go sideways between the Mavericks, Kyrie and the
fan base there in Boston, And how does Kyrie handle that?
And does everything unravel at that point? Now we pivot
away from that to a timeless conversation on the airwaves
(07:12):
of sports radio, The Great Debate, The Great Debate. Now
Rashid Wallace, remember him if you're oldier to know who
that is. Rashid Wallace recently said that the twenty oh
four Pistons, that he was a central figure in the
twenty oh four Pistons, would have.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Beaten the I'm gonna clean this up because we're on
the radio.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
The poopy out of the twenty seventeen Golden State Warriors.
So where are you at on this one? So this
is the standard trope. That's my first thought, the battle
of egos. Now I'm gonna side with Rashid Wallace on
this one.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You can't do that, you shock yock.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
No, let me explain.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Let me explain my rationale. There's two reasons.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
On one hand, I find Rashid Wallace to be much
more tolerable than Raymond Green. Right, Wallace, I still laugh.
We did shows years ago when he was playing for
the Portland jail Blazers, Rashid Wallace as they were known
in those days, and.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
He got in trouble for not talking to the media.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Kept getting fine, and so Rashid Wallace came out and
every answer he was told by some Portland pr hack
just give an answer, and that way you can't get fined.
So he kept saying, both teams played hard, my man,
both teams played hard.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It was the funniest thing.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
And that alone has me in Rashid Wallace's camp. The
other thing, as you appeal back the onion on this,
it's like Star Wars. You know the scene with Yoda
teaching Luke Skywalker the way of the Force, revealing his
identity as the Jedi Master. Well, Draymond Green was a
child around the Four Pistons and was influenced by the
(08:50):
teachings of Rashid Wallace. He's like a cheap ripoff version
of what Rashid Wallace was. Rashid Wallace was good, he
was a good player all around. Dreimon Green is not
that he's rode the coattails of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
But hypotheticals are also great because you're never wrong. You
can't you're wrong. No, I'm not wrong. These debates exist
(09:10):
in the abstract. Okay, It's impossible to prove or disprove
I'm right because the Four Pistons, if they had played
the seventeen Warriors, the Warrior players would have been children,
and if vice versa had happened, the Pistons players would
have been old dudes, middle aged dudes at that point.
You see, all right, last word here interesting story from
(09:33):
the coaching circuit in the NBA. We'll go to Arizona
where Mike Budenholzer. Yes, that's the new head coach of
the Phoenix basketball team. He made a run try to
convince Darvin Ham Ham Sam which Darvinham to come out of.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I don't know if he's not retired. He just got whacked.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
As coach of the Lakers to join the staff in Arizona,
and they said, why not, we'll reunite the band. Well,
Darvin Ham turned it down. He said, I don't want
to do that. I want nothing to do with that.
So Phoenix, we talked about this at the end of
last weekday. Instead kept David Fisdale. But the reason they
kept him they were going to get rid of him
as a coach as an assistant. Take that for data.
(10:11):
But they got rid of They didn't get rid of
him because Darvinham turned the job down. So why the
question is why did Darvinham reject the opportunity to stay
in the NBA on the sidelines join the Sun's coaching staff.
So many many say already I've seen some commas Darvinham,
and you know he's making a mistake here. He and
Budenholzer go back to the days of Atlanta in twenty thirteen.
(10:34):
They were together in Milwaukee when they won the Bucks
won the championship because of your honest but nevertheless, right,
Darvin's got the parachute. That's the main reason you don't
bother to take the job. He's got the golden parachute,
Genie Buss and the Lakers are going to be paying
all of his bills, his vacations, everything, It'll all be
(10:55):
paid for and he all he has to do is
not bad mouth the Lakers and he gets all that
money and he doesn't have to worry about anything. It's
all taken care so he can go on a paid
sabbatical or as our friends in Australia and New Zealand say, a.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Holiday you bloody rue and just go away.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And plus the other thing I was thinking about with Darvinham,
even though he likes Mike Budenholzer, even he knows the
Phoenix job is a dead end job. It's a dead
end job. It's a cluster bomb of a roster. The
pieces do not fit together, and that is problematic. I
don't care how wonderful you think you are as a coach,
(11:32):
you can only do so much. And as of all
the sports, as we've talked about many many times, if
you were to put a big board together, which I
do not do only on the podcast to do a
big board, but if you put a big board together
of all the sports back professional basketball coach is matter
the least in professional basketball. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

didn't didn't go so well there, Eddie. My Edmonton Oilers
now four wins away. Mister hockey, I'm gonna I'm gonna
have to host Puck the World, Eddie. I will have
to host Puck the I.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Mean, you're beating your chest pretty hard for someone finally
got something right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well the Oilers. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
If the goaltenders don't have great resumes, all that matters that.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And here's what matters. What you do in the moment,
that's all that matters. Handle them all.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Losing final to the floor.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They're gonna win the whole thing fan script.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Connor McDavid, hoist up Lord Stanley Cup gonna celebrated.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's going to happen.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
And it's despicable that you, as a supposed good American,
would be cheering for another country. That's awful, and in
particular greatness who eliminated our own beloved local l A Kings.
That's more respectful. They lost to the Stanley Cup. Loss
to the team is gonna win the Stanley Cuffe Oilers.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
And for the people at Dallas that the Stars lost
and the Mavericks are gonna lose the finals.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
To the If that happens, that that's the double.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, that's the Yeah, that's the kick to the knee
and then a poke in the eye.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That is what that is.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So uh but yes, all for the last two weeks,
Eddie has been spitting loogies at the Edmonton Oilers. And
now there are four wins away and I wouldn't say
that is.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Away from Milliman. They're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But I've already seen the script. It's all, it's all preordained.
But Connor Clippers are going to do something in the well.
I was right, and they changed the script. There was
the rewrite of the script. But Connor mc david, as
some people are saying, he's over the hump, I I
would say, no, he's got to win. I don't believe
the and I'm I'm not the hockey although it sounds
(16:22):
like I had no more than hockey, more hockey right
now than you. But I would say that just by
getting to the Stanley Cup final is not enough to
You gotta win.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You're the greatest player of this generation.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
You gotta win, absolutely all right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So I don't want to see any story you got
over the hump. Finally, No, you didn't got the hump.
There's another hump. It's a humpy hump. There is another hump. Yes,
it's a steeple chase.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
One more hump. You gotta go get over?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, yeah, okay, alright? Is that enough hockey ed? I
don't know a lot of the B block hockey. I mean,
I do have a hockey fun fact later. I think
I'll save it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
For another hour, but I I do have a hockey
fun fact, because you know what the fun facts.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Are, very you know what I had one too, and
now I've forgotten it.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I'll have to try and remember what it was.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I did there.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Well that is very true.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yes, all right, anyway, what else do we have? This
is the page down here?
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Oh I remember, I know what it is now it
came back to me. I'll save it though for you.
Well sexchange fun facts.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, next hour is my hockey fun fact. I'm I
can do it this out if you want to.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
You.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But Justin in Cincinnati is filing a formal complaint. He says,
too much w NBA talk on the network. So and
he's our de facto program director, Justin in Cincinnati.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
He's probably not wrong about that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, he listens all the time. Let's see here.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Jason in Kansas City says ten out of ten on
the Mallain monologue. I agree with you on Darvin Ham.
Why would you coach when you can waste time doing
nothing and make millions from the Lakers. Plus the Suns
are a hot mess?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Says Jason in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Shane and de Moyes says, Mark, the full Name guy
sucks to the point that blind Scott and I finally
agree on something would shred him in a verbal octagon.
There you go, rest in peace, the full Name guy.
We we do need to set that up though, blind
Scott wants to represent Boston and we need somebody to
(18:16):
represent the Mavericks in the octagon to decide who's going
to win the NBA Finals, and the octagon very rarely
is wrong. King Roy says, I believe a certain hockey
know at all owes you an apology, Ben claiming that
there was no way in hell that the Oilers will
beat the Stars the head of the Stanley caup and
(18:37):
if that happened, he'll replace his hockey segment with balling
with the girls a w NBA Weekly update.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Any not a chance?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
No, Okay, I've already been mandated to do enough of that.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I'm not not gonna get rid of the hockey for okay.
Scrooge writes it, I like that. The talk over the weekend,
and I'm not doing a model on this, is that
they need more thugs in the WNBA to defend Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I like that to talk.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Scrooge rights In says when former NBA players like Rashid
Wallace open their mouth about the sport they played, they
seemed to know less than the average fan. The twenty
seventeen Warriors would take a fat dump towards the four Pistons,
they'd be lucky to win a game.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Anyone with half a brain knows that.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Now you see, Scrooge, I think you're in northern California
if I'm correct, So you are speaking with your heart.
You are speaking with your heart, I would say, aesthetically pleasing. Wise,
the Warriors are much more aesthetically pleasing than the Pistons
of four. DeAndre, though he's on the other side of
the argument, says, I agree with Rashid Wallace. The Pistons
would beat the Warriors team. That Pistons team was too
defensive and too tough. Steph could shoot his threes, Draymond
(19:48):
would easily get body.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
According to DeAndre, yeah, well, listen, you can pick it.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Apart as we said, you're never wrong either side if
you picked the Warriors, or right if you picked the
Piston I'm on the side of Rashid Wallace and the Pistons,
so I'm I'm going with that. But you can't can't
argue the other side because it's impossible for that matchup
to happen.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
All right, So I want I want to change up
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I just wanted to mention this the last I haven't
talked about this on the radio or the podcast because
I felt like it wasn't It was a private matter,
and I did not want to address this publicly. But
I have spent a lot of time with TJ. Simer's
columnists for the LA Times, a lot a few we
visited semi regularly.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The last couple of months. TJ has been very sick.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
He passed away on Sunday, and I just wanted to
send my my condolences, is if his family. TJ was
a longtime columnist here in Los Angeles where we do
the show from. I have known TJ since I was
a punk kid starting in radio, and I was around
him when he became this very powerful columnist at the
(20:52):
LA Times, when that mattered.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And there was a revolt.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We've we've we had a good chance the last couple
of months to talk about some of those old stories
when he took over and the Dodger people were so
upset that he was, you know, trashing some of the
people out there.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Was it was quite the quite the time.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
TJ was a guy that was a flamethrower as a columnist,
and I love that, love that LA is a town
that does not have a lot of media people that
are like that.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
They're mostly soft, and TJ.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Was the personification of he'll just attack. And I had
him on my podcast last year. He did not get sick.
He did not know he was sick until a few
months ago, so this happened rather rather quickly.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
But I had on my podcast rock Hard La Media. Yes,
at the end.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Of twenty twenty three, I had TJ on I think
it was near the end of I don't even remember.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The time just flies together.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And he was one of the original panelists on I
was around the Horn on ESPN. And I want to
give my condoles to kids. He did radio here in
La at our flagship AM five seventy and I have
so many great so I'll save a lot of it
for the podcast, so I don't you know, I don't
want to spend my all the time here, so I'll
(22:04):
save some of that stuff for the weekend. But again
my condolences. TJ had been very sick. I saw him
Tuesday of this week. I went and visited him. My
friend Jay, one of my good friends who I've known
for years since I did my website as a former
Muckety Muck at the la times, and so we kind
of all would tell stories about you know, it's just
(22:25):
kind of what was going on. I mean, this was
something that TJ knew was going to happen. You'd been
in in hospice for for a while. So my condolences
to TJ's TJ obviously his memory and I will continue
to throw haymakers in honor of TJ.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So I wanted to mention that he passed in the
afternoon there on.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Sunday, which I was telling Lorraina and Coop I had,
I had like a very adult day on Sunday because
I had I started the day by going to a funeral,
not obviously TJ because he just passed, but I went
to a funeral for someone I iced to work with
back here at Fox Sports Radio's mom passed away, So
(23:07):
I went to that. I then got in the car
to drive back to get ready for this show, and
then was planning on heading back to the main studio
him doing it from the remote studio tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Because I got in an accident.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I got re ended on the way on the way back,
and then I get I get rear ended, so I
then you know, need to pint in the ass you
got to exchange insurance and all that stuff. And the
good thing, I'm told that if you get rear ended,
the person that rear ends you is at fault.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I believe.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
So anyway, what I've always heard that, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I don't know if that's true. I guess we'll find out.
But I didn't hit anyone. I got rear ended. So
and the thing is such is the guy that hit
me from behind, he stopped in time, but then the
car behind him walloped into him, and then he came
forward to hit my car on like a chain reaction thing.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, thing though, Ben, the guy behind you is still
at fault because he was technically too close to you.
He should have had ample distance between his car and yours.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Okay, I mean I don't I don't know how they
sort that all out, but U So, then I get
back in the car and my friend texts me the
TJ passed.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I was like, wow, this is.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Like a triple whammy. This is like a triple whammy
type situation. But but anyway, listen that that's that's that,
and the car will be repaired. It's not it's some
back obviously bumper damage. And although my experience this has
happened multiple times where I've gotten hit where I stopped
and somebody behind.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Me hit me like a chain reaction thing.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it doesn't look like it's that messed up. But
yet every time I've taken it to the repair shop,
it's always like ridiculously expensive.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Like it's they can't just replace like the bumper anymore,
the whole front end, because it's all connected.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's all there's a bunch of crap, like exactly, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It is. There's like the.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Cars are created now where you can't, you know, just
replace one little thing. It's got to replace ten things.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, is the car that is older, it's not even
that new car.

Speaker 8 (25:09):
I did want to mention an update on a story
we briefly talked about last week. There was a story
involving Brandon McManus, the kicker for the Washington Commanders. He
had a lawsuit filed against him for sexual assault member.
It was the alleged he rubbed up on some stewardesses
I think when the team that he was with the
(25:29):
Jaguars and they're flying overseas.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Sodom and gomore in the back of the planet. He
had the sex, drugs and rock.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
And roll and well they watched. The commanders have said
bye bye to Brandon McManus.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
They have released him. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Okay, so he has been fired, fired from his job. Eddie,
you get out of here. You're done. You're done, they said,
we don't. You're an idiot kicker. We're done with you,
is what they said.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Let's have some fun here. We got.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I'm gonna save the.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Hockey for next hour, so we get hockey two hours
in a row.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That way, Eddie will not I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Have to talk hockey the rest of the week because
I'll do it two days in a row. But we
go to basketball where the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston
Celtics are gonna play on Thursday, Game one of the
NBA Finals. Did you know that Dallas rookie center Derek
Lively has played in more career postseason games than Boston
(26:43):
Celtics center Chris stops Porzingis and Lively as a rookie
he has played sixteen games, and Chris stops Porzingis, who
has been around the NBA for years, years and years
and years and years, has only played fourteen. Course, he
did play for the Washington he played for the Knicks
(27:03):
and the Washington Wizards for a long time. But he's
been in the NBA going back to twenty fifteen when
he was twenty years old, the end of the NBA,
So you got to go back all those years. And
I missed the year because he got hurt. He had
an ACL injury, so he missed the year. But still
I think that's ten years in my mouth. I think
my math is correct. Ten years in the NBA, give
(27:26):
or take, and yet Lively as a rookie's played more games.
That's my fun fact that I'm sticking to it. And
we'll get to the hockey fun fact. We'll see if
me and Eddie are lined up on our hockey fun fact,
we'll find out about that. But we have some calls
to take here, and let's see where shall we go?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Eenie meenie, miney mo. Let's say loo to Sirius Sean.
Who is somewhere? Is he in Arizona?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Is he on a train? He's on a train all
over the country.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Where's he going?
Speaker 5 (27:58):
He's going to Chicago?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I believe all right, Hello Sean, Hey.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Eddie, can you believe that were two hours ahead of you?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
It is it is hard to believe.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Yes, at other places in the world that are not
on the same time as us.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yes, time zones, yes, Sean. Do you know why we
have time zones?
Speaker 10 (28:19):
I have no idea why, ben.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Because of the trains, Because of the trains.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
They had to align the trains because there were everyone had.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
A different time in all the different parts of the country.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
So they had to come up with universal time zone
so the trains could run on time.
Speaker 10 (28:34):
Oh well, I had no idea where the time boundaries
are resistant them. I'm going to a town called Laramore
in North Dakota. Here I was observed North Dakota was
a mountain or central.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, it's a it's quite the happening town. You should
just get off the train there and enjoy a beautiful
North Dakota.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Now, yeah, actually we did have a fresh air break.
I got off. We had a two hour break. I
got off in the Rainbow Valley as they called it,
and I had a good time in here and.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Fresh air.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Brake.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I've never been in something where we need you need
to have a fresh air break. But I guess if
you're on a train you need that.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Can't you open the window on the train and get
fresh air that way?
Speaker 10 (29:15):
No, it's only open for an emergency exit. But it's
it's the conductor's nights we have. Calling it a smoke break.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Ah, smoke him if you got him.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
He's smoking weed out there. What's he doing? Is he
smokeing tobacco?
Speaker 10 (29:30):
I don't smoke.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
I wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Hey, Sean, if you only want one times go to China,
they only have one time zone him.
Speaker 1 (29:37):

Speaker 8 (29:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, only one The trains work in China, yes, Sean.

do they then have to get rid of the chartered
flights because the only reason they have chartered flights.

Is because of her. Because no one watches that sport.
Speaker 9 (37:37):
Other than nothing to do with it, It has everything
to do with these girls want them Monday. They want to,
can they? But I care about the about the girl
at the at the end of the bench. They don't
care about Caitlin. There's only so much corporate welfare to
(37:59):
go around. They want them Monday money they wanted.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
I want the money, Show me the money, Show me
the money, Show me the money.
Speaker 9 (38:16):
They don't care about. They would rather have their league
go down and flame and collect a welfare check and
then have anyone succeeds.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
No socialism, all right, all right, listen, But that's I
believe it. There, I'm up against up against the clock.
I am on time out of by the clock for
the clock, plausibly all about the clock. But that's not
really that different than any other profession. Right, people look
out for themselves, They get jealous. Those are natural, Uh,
those are pillars of being a human.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Right. There's a lot of faults. But it's really embarrassing
what's gone in that sport. My goodness,
Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, It's our number one of the original Recipe podcast
back at Urday, New week in the hot microphone section
of the Fox Sports Radio studios. We're hanging out with you,
and we begin this Monday pod with pro bouncy Ball.
What is your ruling on Joe Missoula downplaying that's the
(00:25):
coach of the Celtics, downplaying Kyrie Irving's villain status for
Dallas entering the NBA Finals. Also, Rashid Wallace is the
four Pistons would have beaten the poop out of the
twenty seventeen Warriors.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Where you're at on this one?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
And why did Darvin Ham reject a chance to join
the Sun's coaching staff.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Do not be in a state of shock here it
is our number one.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Let the chatter continue.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Well, come in the beginning of another night, in another week.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Of the Benmalor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
We are in the air everywhere as we chatter away,

The way tire buying.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Should be in quite the twenty four hours for me,
but we'll get more to that later. Our lead this
hour to begin the week, pro bouncy Ball.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Did you see that NBA Finals game that was played
on Sunday? O? MG, Now you did not.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Now I could have started with hockey and just mocked
Eddie Garcia for disrespecting my Edmonton Oilers, but I'm not
gonna do that. No, No, I'm a stick to my roots
here pro bouncy Ball. We'll get to the Oilers later,
as Eddie had them dead and buried mister hockey over there,
but we'll start out with the gap, not the gap gap,
but the gap the NBA Finals. As you probably know,
(02:37):
they don't get started for like a several more days.
It's our Monday show. They don't have the NBA Finals
until Thursday. One of the big storylines leading into the
finals has been.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
What good versus bad?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Good versus bad?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Kyrie Irving is right out of central casting. He's the villain,
and the Dallas Mavericks or the bad guys. The Celtics
by default are the good guys. So let him play.
Joe commented recently on this dynamic while we were away
from the watchtower here, and I thought this was interesting,
(03:11):
and it's really the story of the finals. It's the
thing that is being used to drum up interest if
you're not from Boston or that region, or Dallas or
that region. So if you didn't hear about this over
the week, maybe not. The Celtics coach Joe Missoula, let
him play, Joe. Joe Missoula he argued that when asked
(03:32):
about Kyrie Irving in his role, he has been characterized.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
As the evil villain.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Well, Joe Missoula argued that everyone can be seen as
a villain. Aren't we all in someone's eyes? He said,
we're all villains in someone's eyes. He also then slobbered
all over Kyrie Irving, saying that he's a great player,
he's done a lot of good things.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
On and on and on and on.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
All right, so let us discuss the question, what is
your ruling on Joe Missoula down playing right down playing
Kyrie Irving's villain status in the lead up to the
NBA Finals. So I've got Milton Bradley, star wars and
parachute and we will combine all of these things together.
(04:21):
We will throw them against the wall and see what sticks,
all right. So a on the surface, these comments by
coach Joe Sleep, eat Joe whatever you want to come
Joe Mazouol let him play Joe were innocuous.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Hi, that were innocuous.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You hear them and you chuckle. There's a term that
is used in sports. Some call it lou Holtz disease.
That's an old football coach from a million years ago.
Others call it poor mouthing. And that's the classic coaching
technique that calls for the effusive and insincere praise of
(04:59):
the opposition. Kill him with kindness is the mantra for many.
But when you dig a little deeper, it's more right.
It's more than that. And Joe Mizzoula has been around
Boston for a number of years. There he was given
the key to the castle because the previous Celtic coach
he stepped out of class there and had to be
(05:21):
kicked out out of the organization. But Joe Mizzoula, who
didn't really deserve to be the head coach, now he's
the head coach. And so does he know Kyrie? Does
he have a great I don't know. He probably does.
He Proba's a relationship with him. But that response was
Milton Bradley like it was twister. It was Missoula stretching
his hands and his feet all over those multi colored circles,
(05:43):
twisting his body into a pretzel to stretch the truth.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Clear lines have been drawn. That's that's it.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I'm into it, like I'm pulling for the Celtics. I
don't like Kyrie Irving. How he loses, I don't ever
see him one again. Kyrie Irving's a low level batman
villain in my mind. He's a mischief maker, someone who
is a rogue actor. Now the only hiccup and this
is a problem, and I'm trying to wrap my head
how to get around this. While I have type cast
Kyrie Irving in the NBA Finals as the villain, like
(06:14):
I believe that my issue in this is a rather
big hiccups, A couple of hiccups, a couple of belches.
Is that Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown of the Boston
basketball team. They totally buy the dogma of Kyrie, right.
Kyrie is like a godlike figure for them, it would appear.
So it's Kyrie versus, not Tatum and Brown because they
(06:38):
all want to cuddle up together and eat donuts. It's
Kyrie versus the Boston fans. I and will Kyrie, who's
been on his top behavior here?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I don't know if he's on meds or what.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But will Kyrie be able to control himself when inevitably
something will go sideways between the Mavericks, Kyrie and the
fan base there in Boston, And how does Kyrie handle that?
And does everything unravel at that point? Now we pivot
away from that to a timeless conversation on the airwaves
(07:12):
of sports radio, The Great Debate, The Great Debate. Now
Rashid Wallace, remember him if you're oldier to know who
that is. Rashid Wallace recently said that the twenty oh
four Pistons, that he was a central figure in the
twenty oh four Pistons, would have.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Beaten the I'm gonna clean this up because we're on
the radio.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
The poopy out of the twenty seventeen Golden State Warriors.
So where are you at on this one? So this
is the standard trope. That's my first thought, the battle
of egos. Now I'm gonna side with Rashid Wallace on
this one.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
You can't do that, you shock yock.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
No, let me explain.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Let me explain my rationale. There's two reasons.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
On one hand, I find Rashid Wallace to be much
more tolerable than Raymond Green. Right, Wallace, I still laugh.
We did shows years ago when he was playing for
the Portland jail Blazers, Rashid Wallace as they were known
in those days, and.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
He got in trouble for not talking to the media.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Kept getting fine, and so Rashid Wallace came out and
every answer he was told by some Portland pr hack
just give an answer, and that way you can't get fined.
So he kept saying, both teams played hard, my man,
both teams played hard.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
It was the funniest thing.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
And that alone has me in Rashid Wallace's camp. The
other thing, as you appeal back the onion on this,
it's like Star Wars. You know the scene with Yoda
teaching Luke Skywalker the way of the Force, revealing his
identity as the Jedi Master. Well, Draymond Green was a
child around the Four Pistons and was influenced by the
(08:50):
teachings of Rashid Wallace. He's like a cheap ripoff version
of what Rashid Wallace was. Rashid Wallace was good, he
was a good player all around. Dreimon Green is not
that he's rode the coattails of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
But hypotheticals are also great because you're never wrong. You
can't you're wrong. No, I'm not wrong. These debates exist
(09:10):
in the abstract. Okay, It's impossible to prove or disprove
I'm right because the Four Pistons, if they had played
the seventeen Warriors, the Warrior players would have been children,
and if vice versa had happened, the Pistons players would
have been old dudes, middle aged dudes at that point.
You see, all right, last word here interesting story from
(09:33):
the coaching circuit in the NBA. We'll go to Arizona
where Mike Budenholzer. Yes, that's the new head coach of
the Phoenix basketball team. He made a run try to
convince Darvin Ham Ham Sam which Darvinham to come out of.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I don't know if he's not retired. He just got whacked.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
As coach of the Lakers to join the staff in Arizona,
and they said, why not, we'll reunite the band. Well,
Darvin Ham turned it down. He said, I don't want
to do that. I want nothing to do with that.
So Phoenix, we talked about this at the end of
last weekday. Instead kept David Fisdale. But the reason they
kept him they were going to get rid of him
as a coach as an assistant. Take that for data.
(10:11):
But they got rid of They didn't get rid of
him because Darvinham turned the job down. So why the
question is why did Darvinham reject the opportunity to stay
in the NBA on the sidelines join the Sun's coaching staff.
So many many say already I've seen some commas Darvinham,
and you know he's making a mistake here. He and
Budenholzer go back to the days of Atlanta in twenty thirteen.
(10:34):
They were together in Milwaukee when they won the Bucks
won the championship because of your honest but nevertheless, right,
Darvin's got the parachute. That's the main reason you don't
bother to take the job. He's got the golden parachute,
Genie Buss and the Lakers are going to be paying
all of his bills, his vacations, everything, It'll all be
(10:55):
paid for and he all he has to do is
not bad mouth the Lakers and he gets all that
money and he doesn't have to worry about anything. It's
all taken care so he can go on a paid
sabbatical or as our friends in Australia and New Zealand say, a.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Holiday you bloody rue and just go away.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
And plus the other thing I was thinking about with Darvinham,
even though he likes Mike Budenholzer, even he knows the
Phoenix job is a dead end job. It's a dead
end job. It's a cluster bomb of a roster. The
pieces do not fit together, and that is problematic. I
don't care how wonderful you think you are as a coach,
(11:32):
you can only do so much. And as of all
the sports, as we've talked about many many times, if
you were to put a big board together, which I
do not do only on the podcast to do a
big board, but if you put a big board together
of all the sports back professional basketball coach is matter
the least in professional basketball. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you would like to be part of this, you
(11:52):

(14:20):
And oh, I from the tire rack dot Com. Fox
Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well, tough, tough night for Eddie is the Dallas Stars, Well,
didn't didn't go so well there, Eddie. My Edmonton Oilers
now four wins away. Mister hockey, I'm gonna I'm gonna
have to host Puck the World, Eddie. I will have
to host Puck the I.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Mean, you're beating your chest pretty hard for someone finally
got something right.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well the Oilers. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
If the goaltenders don't have great resumes, all that matters that.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
And here's what matters. What you do in the moment,
that's all that matters. Handle them all.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Losing final to the floor.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
They're gonna win the whole thing fan script.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Connor McDavid, hoist up Lord Stanley Cup gonna celebrated.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
It's going to happen.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
And it's despicable that you, as a supposed good American,
would be cheering for another country. That's awful, and in
particular greatness who eliminated our own beloved local l A Kings.
That's more respectful. They lost to the Stanley Cup. Loss
to the team is gonna win the Stanley Cuffe Oilers.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
And for the people at Dallas that the Stars lost
and the Mavericks are gonna lose the finals.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
To the If that happens, that that's the double.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, that's the Yeah, that's the kick to the knee
and then a poke in the eye.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
That is what that is.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
So uh but yes, all for the last two weeks,
Eddie has been spitting loogies at the Edmonton Oilers. And
now there are four wins away and I wouldn't say
that is.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Away from Milliman. They're gonna win.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
But I've already seen the script. It's all, it's all preordained.
But Connor Clippers are going to do something in the well.
I was right, and they changed the script. There was
the rewrite of the script. But Connor mc david, as
some people are saying, he's over the hump, I I
would say, no, he's got to win. I don't believe
the and I'm I'm not the hockey although it sounds
(16:22):
like I had no more than hockey, more hockey right
now than you. But I would say that just by
getting to the Stanley Cup final is not enough to
You gotta win.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You're the greatest player of this generation.
Speaker 5 (16:35):
You gotta win, absolutely all right.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So I don't want to see any story you got
over the hump. Finally, No, you didn't got the hump.
There's another hump. It's a humpy hump. There is another hump. Yes,
it's a steeple chase.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
One more hump. You gotta go get over?
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, yeah, okay, alright? Is that enough hockey ed? I
don't know a lot of the B block hockey. I mean,
I do have a hockey fun fact later. I think
I'll save it.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
For another hour, but I I do have a hockey
fun fact, because you know what the fun facts.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Are, very you know what I had one too, and
now I've forgotten it.
Speaker 5 (17:05):
I'll have to try and remember what it was.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
But I did there.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
Well that is very true.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Yes, all right, anyway, what else do we have? This
is the page down here?
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Oh I remember, I know what it is now it
came back to me. I'll save it though for you.
Well sexchange fun facts.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, next hour is my hockey fun fact. I'm I
can do it this out if you want to.
Speaker 5 (17:25):
You.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
But Justin in Cincinnati is filing a formal complaint. He says,
too much w NBA talk on the network. So and
he's our de facto program director, Justin in Cincinnati.
Speaker 5 (17:36):
He's probably not wrong about that.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Yeah, he listens all the time. Let's see here.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Jason in Kansas City says ten out of ten on
the Mallain monologue. I agree with you on Darvin Ham.
Why would you coach when you can waste time doing
nothing and make millions from the Lakers. Plus the Suns
are a hot mess?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Says Jason in Kansas City.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Shane and de Moyes says, Mark, the full Name guy
sucks to the point that blind Scott and I finally
agree on something would shred him in a verbal octagon.
There you go, rest in peace, the full Name guy.
We we do need to set that up though, blind
Scott wants to represent Boston and we need somebody to
(18:16):
represent the Mavericks in the octagon to decide who's going
to win the NBA Finals, and the octagon very rarely
is wrong. King Roy says, I believe a certain hockey
know at all owes you an apology, Ben claiming that
there was no way in hell that the Oilers will
beat the Stars the head of the Stanley caup and
(18:37):
if that happened, he'll replace his hockey segment with balling
with the girls a w NBA Weekly update.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Is that true?
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Any not a chance?
Speaker 8 (18:45):
No, Okay, I've already been mandated to do enough of that.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I'm not not gonna get rid of the hockey for okay.
Scrooge writes it, I like that. The talk over the weekend,
and I'm not doing a model on this, is that
they need more thugs in the WNBA to defend Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I like that to talk.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Scrooge rights In says when former NBA players like Rashid
Wallace open their mouth about the sport they played, they
seemed to know less than the average fan. The twenty
seventeen Warriors would take a fat dump towards the four Pistons,
they'd be lucky to win a game.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Anyone with half a brain knows that.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Now you see, Scrooge, I think you're in northern California
if I'm correct, So you are speaking with your heart.
You are speaking with your heart, I would say, aesthetically pleasing. Wise,
the Warriors are much more aesthetically pleasing than the Pistons
of four. DeAndre, though he's on the other side of
the argument, says, I agree with Rashid Wallace. The Pistons
would beat the Warriors team. That Pistons team was too
defensive and too tough. Steph could shoot his threes, Draymond
(19:48):
would easily get body.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
According to DeAndre, yeah, well, listen, you can pick it.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Apart as we said, you're never wrong either side if
you picked the Warriors, or right if you picked the
Piston I'm on the side of Rashid Wallace and the Pistons,
so I'm I'm going with that. But you can't can't
argue the other side because it's impossible for that matchup
to happen.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
All right, So I want I want to change up
a little bit.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
I just wanted to mention this the last I haven't
talked about this on the radio or the podcast because
I felt like it wasn't It was a private matter,
and I did not want to address this publicly. But
I have spent a lot of time with TJ. Simer's
columnists for the LA Times, a lot a few we
visited semi regularly.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
The last couple of months. TJ has been very sick.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
He passed away on Sunday, and I just wanted to
send my my condolences, is if his family. TJ was
a longtime columnist here in Los Angeles where we do
the show from. I have known TJ since I was
a punk kid starting in radio, and I was around
him when he became this very powerful columnist at the
(20:52):
LA Times, when that mattered.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
And there was a revolt.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
We've we've we had a good chance the last couple
of months to talk about some of those old stories
when he took over and the Dodger people were so
upset that he was, you know, trashing some of the
people out there.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Was it was quite the quite the time.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
TJ was a guy that was a flamethrower as a columnist,
and I love that, love that LA is a town
that does not have a lot of media people that
are like that.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
They're mostly soft, and TJ.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Was the personification of he'll just attack. And I had
him on my podcast last year. He did not get sick.
He did not know he was sick until a few
months ago, so this happened rather rather quickly.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
But I had on my podcast rock Hard La Media. Yes,
at the end.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Of twenty twenty three, I had TJ on I think
it was near the end of I don't even remember.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
The time just flies together.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
And he was one of the original panelists on I
was around the Horn on ESPN. And I want to
give my condoles to kids. He did radio here in
La at our flagship AM five seventy and I have
so many great so I'll save a lot of it
for the podcast, so I don't you know, I don't
want to spend my all the time here, so I'll
(22:04):
save some of that stuff for the weekend. But again
my condolences. TJ had been very sick. I saw him
Tuesday of this week. I went and visited him. My
friend Jay, one of my good friends who I've known
for years since I did my website as a former
Muckety Muck at the la times, and so we kind
of all would tell stories about you know, it's just
(22:25):
kind of what was going on. I mean, this was
something that TJ knew was going to happen. You'd been
in in hospice for for a while. So my condolences
to TJ's TJ obviously his memory and I will continue
to throw haymakers in honor of TJ.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So I wanted to mention that he passed in the
afternoon there on.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Sunday, which I was telling Lorraina and Coop I had,
I had like a very adult day on Sunday because
I had I started the day by going to a funeral,
not obviously TJ because he just passed, but I went
to a funeral for someone I iced to work with
back here at Fox Sports Radio's mom passed away, So
(23:07):
I went to that. I then got in the car
to drive back to get ready for this show, and
then was planning on heading back to the main studio
him doing it from the remote studio tonight.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Because I got in an accident.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
I got re ended on the way on the way back,
and then I get I get rear ended, so I
then you know, need to pint in the ass you
got to exchange insurance and all that stuff. And the
good thing, I'm told that if you get rear ended,
the person that rear ends you is at fault.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I believe.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
So anyway, what I've always heard that, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I don't know if that's true. I guess we'll find out.
But I didn't hit anyone. I got rear ended. So
and the thing is such is the guy that hit
me from behind, he stopped in time, but then the
car behind him walloped into him, and then he came
forward to hit my car on like a chain reaction thing.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, thing though, Ben, the guy behind you is still
at fault because he was technically too close to you.
He should have had ample distance between his car and yours.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Okay, I mean I don't I don't know how they
sort that all out, but U So, then I get
back in the car and my friend texts me the
TJ passed.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I was like, wow, this is.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Like a triple whammy. This is like a triple whammy
type situation. But but anyway, listen that that's that's that,
and the car will be repaired. It's not it's some
back obviously bumper damage. And although my experience this has
happened multiple times where I've gotten hit where I stopped
and somebody behind.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Me hit me like a chain reaction thing.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
And it doesn't look like it's that messed up. But
yet every time I've taken it to the repair shop,
it's always like ridiculously expensive.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Like it's they can't just replace like the bumper anymore,
the whole front end, because it's all connected.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's all there's a bunch of crap, like exactly, That's
what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It is. There's like the.
Speaker 8 (24:55):
Cars are created now where you can't, you know, just
replace one little thing. It's got to replace ten things.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Yeah, is the car that is older, it's not even
that new car.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
I did want to mention an update on a story
we briefly talked about last week. There was a story
involving Brandon McManus, the kicker for the Washington Commanders. He
had a lawsuit filed against him for sexual assault member.
It was the alleged he rubbed up on some stewardesses
I think when the team that he was with the
(25:29):
Jaguars and they're flying overseas.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Sodom and gomore in the back of the planet. He
had the sex, drugs and rock.
Speaker 8 (25:35):
And roll and well they watched. The commanders have said
bye bye to Brandon McManus.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
They have released him. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Okay, so he has been fired, fired from his job. Eddie,
you get out of here. You're done. You're done, they said,
we don't. You're an idiot kicker. We're done with you,
is what they said.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Hey, this portion of the show made possible by thorwbd Racer.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Let's have some fun here. We got.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I'm gonna save the.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Hockey for next hour, so we get hockey two hours
in a row.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That way, Eddie will not I don't.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Have to talk hockey the rest of the week because
I'll do it two days in a row. But we
go to basketball where the Dallas Mavericks and the Boston
Celtics are gonna play on Thursday, Game one of the
NBA Finals. Did you know that Dallas rookie center Derek
Lively has played in more career postseason games than Boston
(26:43):
Celtics center Chris stops Porzingis and Lively as a rookie
he has played sixteen games, and Chris stops Porzingis, who
has been around the NBA for years, years and years
and years and years, has only played fourteen. Course, he
did play for the Washington he played for the Knicks
(27:03):
and the Washington Wizards for a long time. But he's
been in the NBA going back to twenty fifteen when
he was twenty years old, the end of the NBA,
So you got to go back all those years. And
I missed the year because he got hurt. He had
an ACL injury, so he missed the year. But still
I think that's ten years in my mouth. I think
my math is correct. Ten years in the NBA, give
(27:26):
or take, and yet Lively as a rookie's played more games.
That's my fun fact that I'm sticking to it. And
we'll get to the hockey fun fact. We'll see if
me and Eddie are lined up on our hockey fun fact,
we'll find out about that. But we have some calls
to take here, and let's see where shall we go?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Eenie meenie, miney mo. Let's say loo to Sirius Sean.
Who is somewhere? Is he in Arizona?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Is he on a train? He's on a train all
over the country.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Where's he going?
Speaker 5 (27:58):
He's going to Chicago?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
I believe all right, Hello Sean, Hey.
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Eddie, can you believe that were two hours ahead of you?
Speaker 5 (28:08):
It is it is hard to believe.
Speaker 8 (28:10):
Yes, at other places in the world that are not
on the same time as us.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yes, time zones, yes, Sean. Do you know why we
have time zones?
Speaker 10 (28:19):
I have no idea why, ben.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Because of the trains, Because of the trains.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
They had to align the trains because there were everyone had.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
A different time in all the different parts of the country.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
So they had to come up with universal time zone
so the trains could run on time.
Speaker 10 (28:34):
Oh well, I had no idea where the time boundaries
are resistant them. I'm going to a town called Laramore
in North Dakota. Here I was observed North Dakota was
a mountain or central.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Well, it's a it's quite the happening town. You should
just get off the train there and enjoy a beautiful
North Dakota.
Speaker 10 (28:53):
Now, yeah, actually we did have a fresh air break.
I got off. We had a two hour break. I
got off in the Rainbow Valley as they called it,
and I had a good time in here and.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Fresh air.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Brake.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
I've never been in something where we need you need
to have a fresh air break. But I guess if
you're on a train you need that.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Can't you open the window on the train and get
fresh air that way?
Speaker 10 (29:15):
No, it's only open for an emergency exit. But it's
it's the conductor's nights we have. Calling it a smoke break.
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Ah, smoke him if you got him.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
He's smoking weed out there. What's he doing? Is he
smokeing tobacco?
