Speaker 1 (00:01):
We go. Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's our nuper one, our number one of the original
Recipe podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Happy Wednesday to you.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
It's hump day here the sixteenth day of April, and
in our one, it's all about the twilight zone. It
it's not the playoffs, it's not the regular season, and
the stats don't matter. But they played the games anyway.
How should Steph Curry be feeling and his teammates there
about the Warriors after a much closer than it should
have been playing victory over Memphis.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
The Warriors will now take on Houston in the playoffs.
Orlando beat Atlanta.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
The story here was Hawks guard Trey Young though being ejected.
Was that fair or foul? Was ejected with about five
minutes to go in the game. And how do you
digest these Zion Williamson trade talks from New Orleans? And
who do you see making a run at Zion on
the trademarket. We'll talk about all that and more, will

(01:01):
name and shame right now here.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
It is our number one.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
It wasn't supposed to be that close. It was not welcome.
In the beginning of another night of the Ben Mallory Show,
we are.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
In the air.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Andywares we chatter away sports talk without the sunshine.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
There is no sunshine as we are hanging out coast
to coast, border.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
To border and beyond on the vast and stylishly powerful
microphones of FSR, amminating live.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
From the wave the title wave of hot Takes.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
We're broadcasting live the Tirak dot Com studios tyraq dot com.
We'll help you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
pre road hazard protection and over ten that was in
recommended in stars tire raq dot com the way tire
bond should be. I know, not a burner, a big
supporter of ty Iraq, and he loves the number ten thousand.

(02:11):
So those two things I know are true. And we
are back at it now. The NBA Playoffs have not started.
There is a misnomer that the playoffs began with two games. No, no, no,
that was the Twighlight Zone. It doesn't exist. It's you know,
there's a show back in way back.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
In the nineties.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I was like a little kid and it was called
Seinfeld and they said it was the it was the
show about nothing.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
So they called the show.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Well, the playing tournament is basketball games about nothing. There
is no record. They just these games just vanish. They
don't exist, but for the moment they did exist. And
so that is our lead here pro bouncy ball, the
playing games. I don't know if you watch. We're gonna
start out in the Bay Area in San Francisco, where

(03:00):
Jimmy Butler put up a show thirty eight points, had
a bunch of other stats, but thirty eight points to
lead the way. Stephen Curry with thirty seven and that
one two punch was barely enough. The Warriors outlasted the Grizzlies,
who had an unimaginable fop at the end of this game,

(03:21):
like the kind of f up that should cause the
franchise to go to the G League, that kind of fop.
But the Warriors win it, and so they have earned
the seventh seed. Make sure to fill out your bracket accordingly.
Golden State, the seventh seed in the West. That means
they will go to Houston to hang out in the
den of.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Inequity, and they will iniquity there.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
They will hang out where the a holes have the
trash cans and all that.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
The baseball team, So that's where they're headed.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Desmond Baine, who sounds like a superhero villain, had thirty
points and Jahn Morant we almost had our first injury
in the Benny Bracket challenge that we're doing, calling it
come dumb name, but Ja Morant did leave this game
with a ankle injury. He came back in he had

(04:10):
twenty two points, and so the Grizzlies now they're still alive.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's not an elimination situation.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
But Memphis will head home and then they will await
the winner of the mav Recks and the Kings. That
will be Sacramento that wins that matchup, that game being
played here later on Wednesday night in the capital of
the People's Republic of California to determine.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
The eight spots.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
So it'll be the winner of that game, which will
be Sacramento, they will take on Memphis. I don't even
know why they're bothering to play that game. So let
us discuss the question.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Let's focus in first on the team that won, and
we know they're in the plus.

Speaker 2 (04:48):
How should Steph Curry and friends, Steph Curry and friends,
how should all of them be feeling about the Warriors
after a rather up and down own play in win
over Memphis. So I've got Bingham a jig, a Christmas story,
and double whammy, and we will combine all of these

(05:11):
things together and we are gonna make the Gabba ghoul.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna make the Gabba gool, all right.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
So a uh, the the thought I had two words here,
sweating bullets. Sweating bullets like you're in a hot yoga studio.
The the Warriors team, it's fair to say, despite the
gaudy record when they went out and got Jimmy Butler,
if you look at look at how they played the
last couple of weeks in key games, they are not

(05:41):
hitting on all cylinders. You don't have to be some
kind of basketball insider to know that, just have to
have some kind of you marginal elementary knowledge of basketball.
The struggle is real. And that wasn't playoff Jimmy, because
this is not a playoff game. It was playing Jimmy
on the rock and with him it was supposed to

(06:02):
be calm waters. You had a team on the other
side that fired their coach for some reason right before
the end of the year, and instead of calm waters,
calm pond water that doesn't move, it was turbulent seas.
Is what you had their Golden State was not able
to hit the thing of a jig. The thing of

(06:25):
a jig didn't work that it was supposed to turn
on the after burners, and so the thing of a
jig got stuck and they couldn't turn on the afterburds.
It looked at one point if you watched the game,
and that's my act of goodwill, that's my act of kindness.
I watched the game so you would not have to.
But they were unable to go full throttle. They did
have a twenty point lead Golden State in the second quarter,

(06:45):
and at that point you're like, all right, they're looking
like they're gonna blow out the Grizzlies, and I can
go watch some baseball game and just focusing on that
up twenty second quarter, and then you end up having
a finger biting fiesta at the end there.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
And even with.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
John Morant and his air hand grenades and air guns
and all the fake weaponry, he did suffer a sprain
ankle that was not a fake sprained ankle, that was
a real sprain ankle. But even with that, Steph Curry
and friends, if you if you look at the way
they play the lost home loss to San Antonio, the

(07:22):
loss of the Clippers, which you know, that's a that's
a good loss.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Clippers a better team than Golden State.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
But going to the Rockets, now, the Warriors have that
veteran pedigree as they take on the Rockets that it
also looks the way they're going here that they need
a shaman and a couple of witches on the team
plane down there to take on Houston.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Good luck Steph Curry. Is he washed up?

Speaker 3 (07:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I don't washed. I had a big game here. But
is he gassed? I think that's the word I was
looking for. Gas.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
And there were some quotes if you listen between the
words of Steve Kerr and some of the others, that
indicated the Warriors are tied.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
They're two. They can't handle the schedule.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
All right, my god, all right, now, let's get to
the Komodo Dragon the room.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
Can you explain in one word?

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Can you explain in one word the Memphis Grizzlies plausibly
an NBA team down three points fourth quarter, win and
you're in the playoffs. Lose, you gotta play another game.
Win and you're in the playoffs. Lose, you gotta play
another game. Down three five point four seconds left on
the clock. Ball out of bounds, Ball out of bounds.

(08:34):
How on God's green earth do you commit a five
second violation.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
In that situation?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
That the word I have is I jotted this down
on my notesapp on my phone.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Malfeasance. Don't ask me to smell it.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Malfeasance is the word that was why MCA like this
is what that was. Even know the name of the
interim coach with the Grizzlies, there's no need to learn
the name because he ain't keeping that job.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
But my god, what are you doing? I mean, I mean,
holy you know what. You're right there? He got to
get there. You can't get the ball and bounds.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
At least get a shot up, get the ball to
Desmond Baine who was killing it, and they didn't do that.
All right, Now we turn the page. We go to
Orlando where Mickey Mouse lives down the street. Cole Anthony,
he said, I'm no Mickey Mouse, I'm not Goofy, I'm
not Donald Duck. But he went wacky off the bench

(09:37):
twenty six points a lot of extended darbage time as
a bench player. Cole Anthony led the way twenty six
points six assists and the Orlando basketball team gets a
one twenty.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Nine five blowout.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
That's a vaporizing, a vaporizing of the team from Georgia,
the Hawks. And so that's that was the early game,
the Eastern Conference game. Paulo Bonceno seventeen points, nine rebound,
seven assists for the Floridians. As they have locked their

(10:13):
ticket in, they have earned the Eastern Conference seven seed,
a five hundred record, forty one up, forty one down,
and the Magic or the seventh seed. That means they
have a date in the Commonwealth, the Magic and Celtics
that'll kickoff on Sunday. And Orlando split four games against

(10:35):
Boston during the regular season. But you can't judge anything
off that because the players don't try in the regular season.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Most of them do not show up to work.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
It is a massive problem in that business and it
continues to be a problem no matter what they do.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
The players just are soft, they're weak. They can't handle it.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
The better story though in this one, was in the
losing locker room.

Speaker 1 (10:56):
There was some faux outrage at the end of this game.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
As the Hawks now they will play at home Friday night.
They're not eliminated, they'll play for the eighth spot. They'll
play the winner of the Bulls and the Heat on
Friday night. But Hawks star guard Tray Young was ejected
with four forty eight left in the fourth quarter. He
picked up not one but two quick technical fouls, the

(11:20):
first one for throwing the ball at an official in
an angerly manner, the second for kicking the ball away
before the magic shot foul shots. And that was the
old see you later, get out here. So some people say, oh,
you can't eject Trey Young, what are you doing here?
So was Trey Young? Was Trey Young's ejection with a

(11:43):
little less than five minutes to go fair or foul.
So upon an experedited review a seconds long.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
I only needed to watch this one time. Fair ball,
fair ball, fair call, fair ball, fair call Trey Young?
What he did here? He went a Christmas story.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
He tripled dog dared, triple dog dared.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
James Williams, the generically named official.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
And you and I both know if you triple dog
dare someone, they gotta do it. It's a triple dog dare.
And it was a triple dog dare by Trey Young.
And he wanted to get out of there, and he
was like he was singing, Nana na na eh good bye.
It was premeditated. The Hawks were getting spit roasted by Orlando.

(12:31):
They were down by twenty. It seemed like the entire
game they were getting there you know what hand of them.
And so Trey Young decided that he would get a
jump on everybody the creature comforts in the locker room
as opposed to hemorrhoids.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Sitting on the bench.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
All right now, turning the page away from these bugasey
playing games, we go down to the big easy where
the streets are talking and they are telling us that
the inevitable is about to become reality. If you're looking
ahead in the hot top time machine and trying to
figure out what's going to be the big story of
the silly season. Because every year in the silly season

(13:07):
in pro bouncy ball, you got to have at least
two big name players that change teams, or at least
the talk that at least two big name players that
change teams. They do it every year. It's all part
of the writing. The writing team there in the writing
room they put that together. So one of the names,
according to the chatter they're telling us that the Pelicans,
the silly named the basketball team there in Louisiana, that

(13:31):
they have given the ownership there has given the newly
appointed Joe Dumars.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
That's right. You think Joe Dumares had this job like
a month ago or two months ago. Probably did.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Joe Dumars, who's now the GM there, the old Piston guy,
and he has been mandated to deal away the dead
weight otherwise known as Zion Williamson. So how do you
digest how do you digest Zion Williamson trade talks that
will pop up here as we get through the next

(14:01):
couple of months and through the playoffs and all that
in New Orleans. So I digest this like Zion digests
a tray of Begnet's. I'm talking about puffy pastry, that delicious,
that donut, just wonderful. And Zion, who was drafted number
one overall number and recall at the time, and the

(14:26):
guy was so good he was literally jumping out of
his shoes at Duke the handful of games he played
for Duke, and so everyone said, oh man, this guy's
God's gift of basketball. He's the next prodigy and all
that stuff. So they tagged him with the capital P potential,
and again, a prospect is a suspect until proven otherwise.

(14:48):
And Zion, because of that, he wrote checks that were
massive and even though he has a just jumbos, just
absolutely jumbo size Paduncle Dunk could not cash those checks.
And he's got the double whammie Zion. He's overweight and
injury prone. Overweight and injury prone and injury prone. That's

(15:12):
a dime a dozen in the NBA. But you toss
in the overweight uh oh boy. So who do you see.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Making a run at Zion on the trade market? Now?

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Looking in to our Mallard crystal ball, which is never wrong,
the Mallard crystal ball never wrong. We see Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, Chicago,
Brooklyn and as a wild card, the crystal ball, which
is never wrong. The Charlotte Hornets go back close to

(15:48):
Homies from South Carolina. That's the closest team there in
North Carolina. The Hornets go down there below the Mason
Dixon line Miami. If they can get some of that
water that the fountain of youth from Poncete Leone.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
If they can do that, you go to Miami.

Speaker 2 (16:08):
Nothing good happens in basketball, and Brooklyn and the Bulls
have to suck for like one hundred years because they
had Michael Jordan for all those years. But Zion, either way,
he's a diminished asset.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
The bloom is off the rose at this particular point.
But there's enough people in that business.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
There's enough people that will say, well, he's young enough
and he just hasn't been coached up the right way,
and we'll just get him a big bottle of ozepic,
and he'll be lean and mean, and we'll keep them
away from the only fans models and watch out there
to the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to

(16:46):
the moon, to the moon, to the moon, to the moon.

Speaker 1 (16:48):

Night.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
That's not an official nickname, Bill bad job by you.

Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, okay, anyway, listen, We're we're here. We're just getting started.
We began with some pro bouncy ball talk as that
was the top story.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Chip in the Ques writes in says a.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
Plus on the Mallard monologue as a lifelong Rockets fan,
Chip in Syracuse says, I don't want Zion in Houston.
L's because there's some good restaurant in Houston and there's
no zoning laws, so Zion could take up like seven blocks.
He can get so big, there's no there's no zoning
laws there.

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Big Yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Bagel Boy writes in says Memphis urinated down their leg
when they needed a diaper. No escape that choke job,
and then Jaws gun shot blanks on the last play
a begel Boy says, how the heck does Memphis get
a five second?

Speaker 1 (20:27):
He says malfeasance or whatever they puked?

Speaker 2 (20:31):
And I guarantee that is not how you spell malfeasance,
Bagel boy, I don't know how to spell that well.
I use spell check on my phone like everyone else
in my email, But did you check?

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Do you ever like write it down and then guess
what it is and then go back and check it. No,
I'm not that interested.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I know if I get it close, if I the
AI is so good on spell check now that you
just have to kind of get.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
It close and it guesses for you.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Yeah, it's perfect, It's great. Why couldn't I have this
in school? I would have I would have gone to
a better I mean, not that Saddleback wasn't a great school,
but I mean, my god, I would have done done
some amazing things.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Absolutely. Ozzie was from the land of the Kangaroo? Who
the great? You don't know who Ozzie was? He is?
What kind of loser are you? This guy's a star.
He We have a one hundred share in the little
town that he lives in because there's no other human
beings within about you know, one hundred miles. We use
miles here in the state's oz.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
He was h far and there's nowhere around OZI Wah says.
Who would have thought that the Warriors have already opened
up as a one point favorite in Game one against
against the Rockets. Well, I haven't looked at the line.
I'll take your word for it.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
As he was.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
And remember the line is not necessarily an indicator of
how the game will turn out. It is merely an
effort to get equal money, and as long as the
money is the same or relatively the same on both sides,
the house will end up win. On the juice A
lot of casual people do not understand that if a

(22:05):
team is favored, it doesn't necessarily mean that the house
believes that team's gonna win. They just have to get
people to bet on both sides. So factor that in.
I don't know that even the biggest lapdog for the
Golden State Warriors would sit here and say, I'm feeling
pretty confident about this team now. The thing the Warriors
do have going for them is that the NBA and

(22:31):
the TV people would love to have Lakers and Warriors
in the second round. They want that. That's good TV.
They think they can get ratings on that. That's a winner,
so they'd like to have that.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Now.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm sure that nobody would kind of give an edge
to one team or another. That would be wrong. That's
never happened in the NBA. Tim Donnie said that never happens.
Never ever happened. Milkman Mike writes in from Colorado's fabulous
opening monologue, But I think you missed what was obviously
a new make celebration from Jah Morant. He debuted the
self inflicted gunshot wound dance. Oh is that what he

(23:04):
was doing? Yeah, I guess that's what he was doing
is hopping up and down. Late night drug Tester writes
in he says, the Warriors did not look sharp, but
I expect them to take out the Rockets in round one.
It's not like the difficulty the Nuggets will face when
they play the Clippers in their Olympic grade arena, the

(23:24):
Into It Dome.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Well, Clippers are now favored, even though they don't have
home court. They're now favored to beat the Nuggets that
in that series, which does scare me a little bit.
I don't like hearing these nice things being said about
the Clippers. I'm used to people saying mean things about
the Clippers, so it bothers me.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
And it's a new era.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Ben be excited. I don't want it, Lorraina. I don't.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
I want good well, I want them to do well,
but I don't want people to say nice things about it.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
I don't. I don't need people to talk up the team.
I don't need that.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
I want you to continue to spit loogies at my teams.
I like when you spit loogi's at my team's okay,
like the the the podre.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
Fans, my old my, my old boys there in San Diego.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Like they're feeling good about themselves and all that they
finally lost at home. I guess that they thought they
were gonna win every game and never lose, never choke
on a fish taco. They're in San Diego, they find
the lost but they're they're.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Like, oh, yeah, Dodgers went out and bought all these players.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
They're not gonna They're gonna fish in third place behind
the Giants and the Podrays and Okay, so there's not
even we're not even out of April yet.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
So like, what are you doing? But as far as
the Clippers are concerned, a lot of a lot of
you know.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
Any of the Clippers are great, all this stuff, and
this is there's always the overreaction. I don't think it's
an overreaction. The Clippers are good, but there's an overreaction
because they beat Golden State. People thought Golden State was
gonna win that game, and so now it's like the
pendulum just flips, and it flips over in the direction
of the Clippers. If the warriorsn't won that game, it
would have been knee pads and and manny and a

(25:00):
petty for the Warriors. But the Clippers won the game,
so instead it goes that direction eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. If you would like to be part
eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine,
and you can be part of the big Baffosco program.

smoke the Nuggets.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
I'm not taking a timeouts my show, all right, listen,
there's no one who is a There is no one
who is a Nuggets fan, a basketball fan that would
say the things you're saying.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
You should.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
You have the better in the world, the greatest player
in the world, who will be riding horses in two
weeks when the Nuggets are eliminated, he'll be back in
his home land and he'll.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
Be hanging out with his horses drinking beer.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
The fraud is someone who dodged the bullet from eating
Rocky Mountain oyster.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
You hang up with this guy. This guy's a loser.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
I ate Rocky Mountain oysters, you dumb, dumb, And there
is documentation on the internet.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
It is on the interweb. It was disgusting. And remember
I had some extra Rocky Mountain oisters. That's bulls testicles.
I had those, and.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
I said, at the time, there was this guy Eddie
Garcia used to work on the show who whacked the testicles.
And I said, Eddie, you want something. No, I'm not
gonna eat that's disgusting. I said, Coop you want that? No, Roberto,
do you want it?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
No, it's disgusting. I'm not gonna eat that.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
And then these these phonies, these frauds, Okay, you really

of these little you know what, would eat those, not
one because they were disgusting. And I paid off my
bet and that guy, Jeff, that guy's just a troll,
that guy, and I.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Didn't fall for it. I didn't fall That's right.

Speaker 2 (31:16):
The guys a maron eight seven seven eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox, if you'd like to be part
and again, even Nicola Jokic does not believe. But that
guy was smoking, okay, and he's out there in the
Amazon and he's got the ayahuasca.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Is what he's doing.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
It's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous what that guy was doing. Right
there we are on ex at Ben Mallor and Jason
in Kansas City Rights then says ten out of ten
on the Mallard monologue, Ben, my biggest takeaway from tonight
is how absolutely pathetic the Atlanta Hawks played. I know

(31:55):
they didn't have Johnson and Capella, but that was awful.
Luca for iced, Trey has not worked out Jason in
Kansas City, Well, haven't the Hawks? They've been to the
conference finals a few times with Trey Young.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
I think they have. So they've made the final four,
I believe multiple times. If I'm correct on that, I
think that's the case. What else do we have here?

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Malaprop guy right since says, is this limited edition David
Vase squish plush the stuffy you referenced on the back
of Ferg Dog's AMC Gremlin.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
No, but I need to wash my eyes out after
looking at that.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
And that's not authentic because a real vass A squishy
would would be attached to Blake Snell's tuckus, So I
don't see Blake Snell's tuk us on that at all.
Ferg Dog says, way to school that Denver Nuggies fan band,
the Clippers rule.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
There you go.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
Freddie Wrightsin says, the People's team gonna eat them nuggets.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
He says, pointing that out.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
Absolutely AB's here. Zephyr says, when are you getting a
Dodgers endorsement for your show? He says, David Vassi got one.
I don't know what that means you. When you learn
how to spell people's names, that's when that's going to happen. Yeah,

(33:20):
And when that, when that takes place, that'll that'll be
how we do that.

card from the bottom of the deck. TNT's Brian Anderson
ripping Trey Young. He said, there's a lot of kids watching,

(38:44):

is a great take. If it was, like, I don't know,
nineteen eighty seven or nineteen ninety seven. I don't know,

saying today to take, it's a hockey take.
