who was the secret weapon for the Golden State warris
and how will the Lakers respond on Saturday Saturday Saturday.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
In Game three, we'll talk about all that and more.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Right now in our number one here it is a
splash and a splash. Well come, in the beginning of
another edition of the Ben Malor Show.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
We are in the air everywhere, old friends, as we

(02:33):
pro Bouncy Ball.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
You know the drill. This time of the year, in
the month of May, you get the obligatory, mandatory NBA
themed monologue playoff basketball, and now we react in real
time to what happened within the last couple hours. Here
the game of the night. We usually picked the game
of the night, and.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
There was only one game, one game to pick from,
so we picked that game. Not that hard Lakers, the
bane of the NBA, the blight of the NBA, the Lakers,
everyone hates him, playing the Golden State Warriors, and they
were wrangling by the bay now San Francisco. The scene
here and the scene to be seen.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
By the cool people.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Very expensive these tickets, and the Lakers looking to take
game two. They took game one. They got a little
help on that one. They see if they got a
little help in this game. Golden State looking to square
things up. So if you didn't watch this game, and
perhaps not Clay Thompson, who had had a couple of duds,
a couple of clunkers for Golden State, he came out

(03:38):
scored thirty points, Steph Curry twenty. He also had twelve assists.
And the Warriors they took out a bucket and a
mop and they mopped the.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Court with the Lakers.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Lakers look like they should be getting ready for the
draft lottery the way they played in this game, twenty
seven point win for Golden State. Wow, everyone was resting,
all the starters were wrestling in the fourth quarter of
Warriors Liby as many as thirty two and the game
turned in the second in the third quarter, and if
you saw the game, you know that the Warriors outscored

(04:12):
LA eighty four to forty seven in the twenty four
minute block that crossed over a halftime, so second and
third quarter. But for our purposes, the better story is
in the losing locker room. That would be the Laker
locker room. And there's only one person that everyone's talking about.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
So we want to join the parade. The congolone and
it's not really congo line.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's more like a pinata, and it's got a brow,
a unibrow on it.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
Anthony Davis. Now, the other night I was told unstoppable.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
No one on Golden State can possibly slow this guy down.
He's a modern day Wilt Chamberlain. That this is going
to cement the legacy of Anthony Davis.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
He will average thirty five points and twenty rebounds a
game because Golden State cannot possibly slow down.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Anthonydabs every genius, every blowhard and gas bag told me that. Okay,
So Anthony Davis had thirty points and twenty three rebounds
in game one, so surely he had what thirty five
points twenty rebounds in game game number two?

Speaker 1 (05:25):
No, let me let me check my notes.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
He had he had to have at least twenty points, right,
twenty points fifteen rebounds. Yeah, no, okay, Let mean, how
about a solid fifteen points ten rebounds, good workmanlike effort.
No eleven points in seven rebounds, unstoppable, my fat ass

(05:54):
in game two. So let us discuss the question. Do
the Lakers have an Antiany Davis problem? Yes, I am
nodding my head. Yes, I've got sci Fi Clipper, Darryl
and barn door and we will tie all of these
things together and we are going to make a nice
route or root, which is what we had in pro

(06:17):
bouncy ball with Golden State winning going away. No need
to even watch the fourth quarter. So, ay, Anthony Davis.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
You know what he is.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
He's the cherry red Porsche that looks great and everyone's
impressed and they're like, oh, you're so cool. You've got
a cherry red Porsche. But then when you drive it,
it's got faulty brakes and you could die going off
a cliff. That's Anthony Davis in a nutshell. You can't
trust the guy.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
It is a.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Boone doggle boone doggle. Davis sucked at a time you
cannot suck. He went out there on national television. He
got in the bed and got the baby yoga pos
and poop the bed and I love it. I think
it's great. I hope he plays the rest of his
career with the Lakers. He is such an enigma. The

(07:06):
unibrow is physically incapable of consistent domination. Imagine at your job,
if you had one good day of work and then
the next day you didn't show up like I'm trying
to in my world where I do radio.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Right, come in, I do the show every night.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Imagine if I say, you know, I'm gonna try to
have a good show on I'll come in on Monday
and Wednesday, and I'll mail it in a couple other
days of the week.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
How is that?

Speaker 2 (07:37):
How is that possibly feasible that that is? But it happens,
and then the Lakers are enablers. They've allowed this to continue.
And as far as what happened in this. It's not
that hard. It's it's Ockham's razor. It's just not in
his makeup to have dominance consistently. It's pretty simple, right.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
We see this a lot. James Harden's the same way.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
James Harden occasionally have a great playoff game, but you
know he's gonna vanish at some point. And Anthony Davis
was canonized by the toe sucking NBA media after Game one.
Lebron James even went as far as to retire his
uniform number after Game one of the second round of
the NBA Playoffs, and the uni browse suffocated from all
the flowers.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
That he was given. And so what did Davis do
for an encore?

Speaker 2 (08:25):
This was a tinsel town, tinsel Town like performance, leading
man material, because Anthony Davis showed everyone all those Hollywood
phonies that like the Lakers because they're the Hollywood team,
the Clippers of the people's team. But Anthony Davis starred
against Golden State in a remake of a sci fi classic,

(08:46):
The Incredible Shrinking.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Man a wall Man. Was it fun to watch?

Speaker 2 (08:52):
How masculating this was Harry Houdini special watching Anthony Davis
sink into the quicksand It was orgasmic. Imagine thinking that
this guy's an alpha and.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I heard it.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
You should see the email that I get in my
inbox during the show. And athletes, Oh, he's so got out,
you're so wrong, you're no no basketball. These historians are
so Clovis, they're lovable, they're so stupid, these people.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
He is not that guy, pal, He's not that guy.
Anthony Davis is an omega. And that's the case.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Listen, this was not because of some brilliant coaching move
by Steve Kerr or some wild change of events. No,
Anthony Davis simply mailed it in the guy's lethargic.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
He tapped out.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
All right now page two here, who was the secret
weapon for the Warriors in this game?

Speaker 1 (09:48):
So two words mean green, right, mean green?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
And that that's a guy who's, you know, the guys,
hasn't earned a lot of money, hasn't been around, you know,
journeyman guy. But he earned his green because he was
me And we have said for years on this show,
and we documented the numbers.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Back it up. The Clippers run LA, they own the Lakers,
and this.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Performance was a Clipper Darryl special. He was he was
beaming because the Lakers not only lost the Golden State,
they lost the Clippers on Thursday night.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Let me make my elevator pitch. Why that is?

Speaker 2 (10:27):
The Golden State Warriors turned to Jamichael Finley. Jamichael Finley
was the guy they turned to, a proud Clipper alumni member,
and even Clipper rejects continue to dominate the Purple un Fold?
Or are they the Purple and Old because they got

(10:49):
played back to back yard games? As he went out
there and painted the Mona Liers in a limited role,
Jamichael Finley making all of Clipper nation problem. Finished with
fifteen points, six of nine shooting in thirteen minutes, all
of those points, all of them coming in the second
and third period avalanche, a virtuosoul performance. And yet again,

(11:13):
even in the playoffs, the Clippers continue to haunt the
Lakers as a Clipper alumni member beating beating the Lakers
in the playoffs. Now the last word here, so how
will the Lakers respond after being run off the court? A? Wow,
that was terrible type performances. They paled in comparison to
Golden State.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
So how will the Lakers respond?

Speaker 2 (11:35):
I believe Saturday is Game three, So the better question
is rather than how the Lakers gonna respond.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
I would advise you to check the barn door.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
If you can, let me know which way the Zebras
are going to be leaning inside the barn. I'll tell
you who's gonna win the game, because if they're gonna
call the game straight up, then this series is over
in five games. It's over in five games. The Warriors
will win the next three games and that's it. The
Lakers proved in both of these games that they are

(12:07):
second class citizens. They're chumps compared to Golden State, and
they can't keep up. The Lakers were suffocating trying to
guard the perimeter of Golden State. And this game validated
by the way a take we had in a previous
episode of the show. The referees medaled.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
They meddled, They meddled, they medled. In game one.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
If the game had been officiated straight up, this would
be two. The Lakers were looking at a two deficit
against Golden State. And these historians, who I feel like
I'm a teacher. I have to educate these people. They
don't have basketball. They just like the colors and the
Hollywood phonies that go those Laking They're obtuse, right, consider
this my radio webinar. Officiating is subjective, Okay, it is

(12:53):
a subjective thing, just like we always talk about in
football during the NFL season. You can call by the
of the law, you can call holding on every play
in the NFL. Well, you can also blow the whistle
or choose to swallow the whistle on every possession. In
the NBA, there is physical contact on almost every possession

(13:15):
of the NBA.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
And this was a it's been.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
A textbook example of the clear and obvious bias the
Lakers get from time to time in the playoffs. They
got it in Game one and my evidence. Game one,
the Lakers twenty nine foul shot attempts, the Warriors had six,
plus twenty three.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Game two, the Lakers had more foul.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Attempts four shot attempts than the Lakers seven than the
Warriors rather seventeen to sixteen. But it was called fair,
was called an an even game. And the idiots wearing
their purple and goal boxer Shorts told me, well.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
It's because Golden State's a jump shooting team. That's why,
that's why there's a dismairiting. There's nothing to see here, moron.
In this game, the Warriors shot forty two to three pointers.
The Lakers shot thirty four three balls, and yet somehow
the referees called it even.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Imagine that, Holy crap on a cracker, they called the
game even. They called it straight up again the Lakers.
It's not difficult. The Lakers are not good enough. They
cannot guard the perimeter snipers for Golden State. The Warriors
shot fifty percent in this game two on three point shots.

(14:32):
The Lakers they took thirty four, they missed twenty four
of them, less than thirty percent from outside.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Wow, is this a missmatch? But it's not over because
the NBA. I've seen these too.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Many times over the years, phone calls made, Scott Foster
comes in, some kind of bull crap happens, and then
the thing turns upside down. All right, It is the
Ben Maler Show. If you want to comment on any
of that, you can join us here. The Lions will

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I guess they put that away for the night. I
don't know what happened with that that Laker gear. Yes,

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Let's see page down, Page down, Andy the comic book
book Guy says.

Incredible opening monologue. There you go.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
I would say you've already won the Benny for the
new category, the best Laker monologue of all of sports
talk radio. Darryl by the Way writes, and he agrees.
He says that Anthony Davis is a problem with the Lakers.
They're not gonna win anything. That's Daryl in Wisconsin. Matt
de Warrior Raider as fan says nine out of ten.

(17:28):
He said he would have given me a ten, but
unfortunately Brian Finley is in for Eddie, so the show
is not gonna be that good tonight.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Unfortunately.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Now we will take your calls at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
But I wanted to mention this now.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
I was gonna play the audio for this, but it's
not that good, and I figured we it's you can
barely hear it, so why play it?

Speaker 1 (17:48):
But NIKOLEA.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Jokic of the Nuggets, who are up two zero against
the Suns, was asked by some moron in the media
if he expects the Suns to be more energetic now
that they're going back home for Game three, Like like
just a dumb question, right, No, I think they're I
don't think they're gonna try. I think they're gonna roll over.

(18:09):
Get in the fetal position. The Suns can start sucking
their thumb, is what they're going to do.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
It's like, it's it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
So Nicola Jokic answering the question by saying, quote, no,
my friend, I expect them to surrender and give us
the win is.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
What Nicola Jokicic had to say. Uh. Following that, I
thought that was was.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Wonderful because that line of questioning so ridiculous, so moronic,
and all that. Any We'll go to the calls at
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

No, no, but no, no, that's not how'd you get?
How did you get?

Speaker 2 (19:46):

too long ago. That's expired. That Benny's expired. Benny expired.
Though you didn't use the Benny in time. That's expired.
That Benny's expired. You can't use it inspired Benny. You're

Speaker 8 (20:04):

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Hey? That mother?

Speaker 7 (20:08):

Speaker 7 (20:13):
Golden ticket, nice and heart for all working over a
year for that golden ticket. But hey, what I was
gonna tell you to guess where Poppy came out on TV?
You guys want to guess what network I came out on?

Speaker 8 (20:42):

Speaker 1 (20:42):
I actually hung up on him. I did not mean
to do.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
You see that Cooper, you get a golden ticket, you
get a golden break. That was an accident, Poppy, I
swear Poppy, that was an intentional act. That Coople Hoop
Coople Hoop hates you and he hung up on you
on on purpose. That's what happened there, Sir scratch Off
writes in from Arkansas. He says, Liz O ready for

(21:05):
a joke hour. I'm sure she'll listen. Tell weed Man
to step aside. No, weed Man, that's the only thing
he has to look forward to in his life. He
has no teeth, he has no money, he's got no home,
he's got nothing. All he's got is the lame jokes.
All these God is the lame jokes. Now the naked truth.

(21:26):
I go back to that matchup between the Suns and
the Nuggets, because we had I mentioned just a few
minutes ago Nikola Jokic, who had said he was asked
a dumb question. He says, no, I think the I
think the Suns will surrender and give us the win.
So DeAndre Ayton was exposed in some video online. There
was a video clip posted on the socials that showed

(21:50):
Nicola Jokic getting an offensive rebound while DeAndre Ayton stood
there like a mannequin in a in the front of
a you know, a display case, and so so DeAndre
Ayton was asked about that's a you know, it doesn't
look really good. I mean, the guy's getting an offensive rebound.
You're standing there like you're a spectator. And he said,

(22:13):
uh quote, I just clapped my hands. I don't know
what you want me to do right there.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
H so good DeAndre Ayton.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Then he wanted to leave, right he wanted to leave
Phoenix last year. They brought him back. And how's that
working out? That's that's going very well. That is going
very very well, unless it is not. Unless it is not, be.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller Show

you sick and tired of these stupid sports shows where

Speaker 5 (23:04):
Or Lebron James is good at basketball, which he is
clearly not.

Speaker 9 (23:08):
See we give you smart takes, and we also bring

Speaker 6 (23:28):
By the way, happy belated birthday.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Well thank you. I I was very kind of you. You
didn't have to get me a present. I thought, you know,
it's kind of cool, though I appreciate you.

Speaker 6 (23:37):
If you were here, you would have I would have
given you a jar of almond butter.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Yeah, well, I'm right, I'm righty, I don't need almond butter, though,
I'm good, and please, I know you you were a
slab in the other studio and there's almond butter all
over the sit Try not to eat in the studio
because you're right near the kitchen. So you just go
out of the back room. There's a table there you
can eat. We don't need almond butter all over the
table in the studio.

Speaker 1 (23:59):
Well said.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
It is the Ben Maler Show. So what it's not
really a fun fact, it's more of a fun story.
So Regional Cable television is not doing well. The Bally's
Sports network of channels, the parent company Diamond Sports, has
gone belly up, and so a bunch of teams as

(24:21):
a result, are scrambling to try to get television deals.
And what has happened in Phoenix and now in Las
Vegas is they're going old school, back to over the
air broadcast television, terrestrial television.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
It's happening.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
The Golden Knights, the Vegas Golden Knights, the latest team
that has just signed a deal to put their games
on free television. Imagine that. I mean, what a wacky,
wacky world that is. Say what, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
They're attempting this.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
The NHL c in in next season twenty twenty three,
twenty twenty four.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
They will also have some direct to consumer options and
all that.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
But the two teams now an NHL team and an
NBA team going back old school. If you're old, you
remember the days when all the games were on over
the air broadcast television and radio. But for many, many years,
for generation over a generation has all been paid to
play on cable television.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
And that's changing a wee bit, changing a wee bit.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
At this particular point, who else do let's go to
the phones here.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
I was gonna take a tweet.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Just Josh in Cincinnati says Disneyland needed a backup jar
Jar for their Star Wars celebration, so tonight we get
a Ferg Dog Ferdug's boyfriend Philly.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Is it true?

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Oh Mike, you know what, You just nailed it. I
think just Josh is onto something. Is it conceivable? But
the reason Eddie did not show up to work is
because he was celebrating May the Fourth be with You?
Is that?

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Is that possible that he was celebrating it? Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Somebody can somebody check to see if Eddie took the
day off from work as a middle aged adult male
to go to Disneyland.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I think that might be the case.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Justin in Cincinnati or the enchanted for says every time
Finley is in for Eddie, I remember how unforgiving God is.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Well, that's not that's not nice. That's that's not nice
at all. It's a bad job by you. All Right,
let's see, let's go to the phones and we'll say
it is May fourth, right, Well that was on Thursday, right,
May the Fourth be with you?

Speaker 5 (26:43):
Right?

Speaker 2 (26:43):
That's the Yeah, that's the day right, and not the
day Friday?

Speaker 1 (26:48):
But did Eddie take the day off to go to
Star Wars That Star Wars? God, I think he did?
What else? I didn't say that.

Speaker 2 (26:59):
It's he was on the schedule that comes out the
company sends out a schedule.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
I checked it because I was like, I don't think
I don't.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Remember him not supposed to be so wow, we have
to get confirmation. If we get confirmation, then Any's gonna
have to come up with a new nickname that is
next level.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Can you imagine missing work to go to Star Wars Land?
Oh my god?

Speaker 2 (27:22):
All right, Uh, let's see here, eenie meanie, mighty mod.
Let's say hello to Jed who Fled? Jed who Fled

Hello Jed, that is the longest I've ever been quiet
in my life. Dude. That was very comfortable. When your
name is one letter of weight from Jedi, you hear
all the Star Wars jokes you ever want to hear, Dudes,
But the people keep messing with me, and all of
a sudden I popped back into their house about the
thirty time they thought I was gonna leave, and I'm like, hey,
get another return of the SETI to now, dude, see
what happens now, I irritate my way right out of it.

(28:19):
May the Force be with you? Huh, I'm saying, May

That's not coolil Man, I had nothing to so ben
phone calls. I got nothing that you say. You don't
need any Almond Brothers, dude, because Ramblin Man is one
of the greatest songs of all times. Betnight Writer's not bad.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Well, I don't mind the Almond Brothers, but the Almond Butter.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
I don't need the ad. Do you like almond but
you're in Florida? You don't like almond butter? They don't
even sell it in Florida. You can't even buy almond
butter in Florida. You gotta buy real butter.

Speaker 8 (28:50):

Speaker 5 (29:07):
What do you want me to do?

Speaker 8 (29:08):
Hey? How about if bluetooth a bunch you get a
bunch of late trying bluetooth and you call it blue
Teeth Productions. Justin Cooper loved that joke and I've told
it to a numerous times for the ATREUS Sacling. Do
you have any idea what I'm talking about? Because if
you don't, If I don't know, how are you bennne?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (29:23):
I need I need hill?

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah? Can you hang up on yourself please? You're drowning.
You're drowning. You need a life.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, say something like that. You need something like that
to save the call? No, thank you, my god. So
the vampire is knocking at the door. Our friend Patrick Beverly,
veteran NBA player, Patrick Beverly revealed recently that Russell Westbrook

(29:52):
has informed him that if the unthinkable happens and the
the Lakers get all of help and they get the
power play every game from the referees, and they get
gifted another bogus championship, Patrick Beverley says Russell Westbrook has
told him he would like to get a ring. He

(30:13):
would like to get a ring if that happens, which
is somewhat awkward considering that when he played for the Lakers,
they hated him and he hated them. It was a
mutual we despise each other. And then when he left,
they called him a vampire. They goofed on him, the Lakers'

(30:35):
character assassination. They buried him in the media because they're
a classless organization. They buried Russell Westbrook in the media
and called him a vampire and all that that was
the Lakers that leaked that story. That wasn't obviously from
Russell Westbrook. Why would he leak that story? But he
wants a ring, which means what it means, he probably
wants that down the line, even though he's making forty
million dollars a year right now. He wants to pawn

(30:56):
that off down the line, sell that on eBay, or
give that as a gift to somebody. But he supposed
that Beverly's if he's telling the truth. That's what Patrick
Beverly said. That Russell Westbrook wants a a ring.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
He's got a better chance.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Of winning one with the Clippers next year than he
does getting one from the Lakers.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Good luck on that. And yeah, that's not likely to happen.
Not likely to happen at all at all.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
Now, as far as sliding into the DMS, we go
now to the Boogie Down Bronx where Michael Kay, longtime
television voice in the New York Yankees and blow hard
gash bag on a lowly rated New York talk show.
Michael Kay made the mistake of doing the thing you

(31:46):
can't do at the time you can't do it. He
listened to the noise. He listened to the noise. Now,
let me explain, So Michael Kay, I used it was
on Wednesday or when there was Tuesday Wednesday. This week,
Kay's in the broadcast booth.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
I guess it was on Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
So he's calling the Yankee game, and he's doing the
broadcast whatever, and some random jamoke some Mama Luke on
Twitter on the Twitter machine sends him a message saying
that he's essentially a suck up to Brian Cashman, the
GM of the Yankees, and taking a little shot at

(32:29):
him as he's.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Saying her home or whatever. So what does Michael Ka do.
He slides into this guy's DP.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
He slides in the direct message and responds to the
guy and he says, you watch every game, right, Explain
to me how you could possibly Uh, the guy said,
explain to me how you can possibly defend Cashman. So
then Ka responds, he says, Okay, let's do this. He

(32:59):
wrote back, you give me a quote or a sentence
where I defended Cashman on the air tonight. Any proof
you can come up with, and I will make a
sizable donation to your favorite charity. Again, any instance he
said of me defending the Yankee GM during the broadcast,
I will gladly make the donation. This is from the

(33:20):
Voice of the New York Yankees, the Voice of the
New York Yankees. And of course the guy screenshot at
it and then shared it with everybody, and then Kay
had to then respond and defend himself.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
And there was this whole big to do.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
That is fascinating to me. You know, the nasty, terrible
things these losers on Twitter say about me.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
I don't read them. I don't go on Twitter. I'm
onitoring the show.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
But pretty much anybody that says anything bad about me,
I just mute them, so I don't even see it.
That people have been sending me messages for years and
I don't even get them because they're muted. That's the
ultimate lethal weapon to get back of these people.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
You don't follow them and send it direct message. You
just mute them.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
And these morons send you comments and they think they're
getting on your skin.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
You don't even see them.

Speaker 2 (34:12):
It's the greatest thing in the world. And the dumb
dumbs keep sending them anyway. It is the Ben Mahler Show.
So Michael Kay, bad job by you.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Come on. You're making a ton of money.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
He's probably making seven hundred thousand dollars a year between
the Yankees and the radio show.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
You're in New York. You've done that forever. What are
you doing? And the stupid Arod thing on Sunday Night
Baseball A h Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
There's a bunch, but I don't have time for that
right now. But anyway, we have the equine pick them.
The Kentucky Derby is this weekend, so I figured we'd
have some fun. We change it up and have some
who am I and insta trivia about the Derby.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
So here we go.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Here's the who am I? I'm sure the answers will
be amazing. I am a legendary jockey who mistook the
sixteenth poll of the Kentucky Derby for the finish line.
I started celebrating by the time him I realized my blunder.
I ended up losing the Kentucky Derby.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Buy a nose? Who Am I? The answer? We'll get
to it, and we will do it next.

three times that we do the equine pick them, and
today is one of those times because it's a big weekend,
the Run for the Roses. The Kentucky Derby at Churchill

gonna make a big deal about number one fifty, So
we'll have that, and we'll also give you the who
am I Game? We went deep into the bag o
trivia on the who am I Game?
