Speaker 1 (00:00):
We go welcome. It's our number what, our number one
original recipe podcast. We were up all night recording this
fresh pod, and here in our number one, we'll talk
about the big upset of the night. The Boston Celtics
lose again as the Knickerbockers come back from twenty down
in the final fifteen minutes to beat the Boston basketball team.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So who gets the biggest.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Slices of the Celtic's Boston cream pie.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Of blame as they lose at home on the Parque again?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Is this series exposing cracks in Boston's championship DNA?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Can you explain how Tom Thibodeau's Knicks have won both
of these games? What are they doing to come back.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
In these games?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
And what was the anatomy of the Celtic choke job?
We'll talk about that. Does the comp of Celtic coach
Joe Mozula being like JJ Reddick hold water? And is
Joe Mozula's confidence and asset or a liability for the
Celtics right about now, we'll talk about all of those
things and more. Here it is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio, So.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If you lose Game one, that's just a random occurrence.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But if you lose again, what is that like? Where
does that fall in the spectrum?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere providing dialogue
of the death as we have the wrong number coast
the coast, border to border and beyond on the mast
(01:52):
and fantastically powerful microphones of fsre amminating from the pepper
as our sports takes get extra pepper from the Fox
Sports radio studios, just like truck stop Fungus puts extra
pepper on his food at random truck stops across North America. Well,
(02:17):
this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
For over forty years, tire Rack.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation. I see Ferg Dog nodding his head. Yes,
tire rack dot com the way the tire buying shure
(02:45):
be So two NBA games, but only one really worthy
of much conversation. So that is where we will begin
the conversation and oh, what a fun conversation it will
be here because our lead is from Boston. As that
was the stage for Game two, everyone and their mother
anticipating that the Boston basketball team would come out with
(03:08):
vengeance and they were going to not let their guard
down like.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Many said they did in Game one.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But it was the Eastern Conference semi finals, Jason Tatum
and the Seas trying to even the ledger against Jalen
Brunson in the knickerbocket. Now this was the early game.
Some say the undercard undercard, and I don't know if
you were watching it or not. If not, we had
another o mgmulmut, another OMG malmt in this one.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
McHale Bridges ceiling, another massive comeback. The Knicks were down
by twenty. Again they did it again. Oops, it happened again.
Down twenty. The Knicks stormback, second straight win and second
straight game, ceiling steal at the very end, and the
(04:00):
Knickerbockers leave the Boston Celtics totally discombobulated as they win
ninety one ninety and now New York on the road,
up two games to none, they have the lead. The
upstart underdog slim pickings of the Knickerbockers in the Eastern Conference,
Semi found the Jalen Brunson didn't play all that well,
(04:21):
he only had seventeen points. But New York with Jalen
Brunson out there, he made a couple of foul shots
with twelve point seven seconds to go in the game,
so that left the score ninety one to ninety. Jason Tatum,
mister all everything, mister I'm the greatest, all that stuff.
Jason Tatum then could not get to the rim, and
(04:42):
McHale Bridges came over there, he moved in, he batted
the ball away, a futile effort by Jason Tatum, rather pathetic,
and the Knickerbockers got it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
And that's it. That's all she wrote.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So Josh Hart twenty three points, Carl Anthony Towns Kitty
Kat the old Timberwolve with twenty one points, seventeen rebounds,
and a partridge in the pear tree for New York,
who will now host Game three in Midtown Manhattan, right
adjacent to Penn Station there on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know what, the story here is the better story
in the losing locker room. But the question is who
gets the biggest slices of the Celtics Boston cream pie here,
who gets the biggest slices of that? So I've got
Green Comet, Nobel Prize winner and Prince and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(05:39):
to make a delicious soft pretzel, which the Celtics got
twisted into.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
In the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yet again, they got twisted into a delicious soft pretzel.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You can find out on the street. So a let's.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Start with the head of the fish. I was told
when I was younger that the fish rots from the
head Jason Tatum ding ding ding ding De Jason, Jason, Hey,
you know, I know you won your little championship last year,
but yeah, you still got to play this year. What
was that You're supposed to be the franchise player On
the final.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Possession, I'm gonna go back to that. So I don't
know that this can be understated.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The Knicks take a one point lead, and that Al
Horford came up to the top of the like the
three point line.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He said, a screen, Tatum is dribbling the ball.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So on the screen, I don't know if you noticed
this or not, but I jotted this down on my
little notesap.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
On my phone.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So Horford sets the screen. There's two Knicks players there
on the screen. Tatum at this point after the screen
is now guarded by Mitchell Robinson, a taller player, a
lumbering big man, Mitchell Robinson with not a lot of
lateral movement. And so what did Jason Tatum do? Did
(06:53):
Jason Tatum zoom past Mitchell Robinson or did he fall
back and he eat take it easy jumper over Robinson? No,
he hesitated, he snoozed, and he losed as he failed
to even get a shot up And then mentioned mkil
Bridges came over and snatched the ball the way Tatum
(07:15):
was actually trying to pass the ball.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
He's trying to pass the ball. You can't make this up.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So you have the two headliners on the Celtics, Jalen Brown,
who fetched the final play in game one, and now
Jason Tatum says, hold my beer and let me take
care of this right now. He failed to even get
a game winning shot. So both your star players, neither
one of them got the shot on the rim, or
even in Jenon Tatum's case, even get shot up at
(07:40):
all as time ran out. And on this night, when
the dust settle, Jason Tatum only had thirteen more points
than you and I had and we didn't play in
the game. He took nineteen shots, he missed fourteen of them.
And Jason Tatum was the green comet, the green comet
of vomit is what he was in this game. Overall,
(08:02):
Tatum two games in two games in to the second
round of the NBA Playoffs, Jason Tatum, your all everything player,
shooting twenty eight and a half percent from the floor
and even worse than that from three point range, but
twelve to forty two from the floor. And this was
a team wide infestation of suck for the Celtics, who
(08:25):
definitely sucked at a time he cannot suck. The Green
team went more than eight minutes without a field goal
in the fourth quarter. More than eight minutes without a
field goal in the fourth quarter. They missed not one,
not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
not seven, not eight, not nine, not ten, not eleven,
not too how about thirteen consecutive shots? And what was
(08:49):
the coach doing over there in the sidelines? No no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Keep shooting bys. Yeah, thirteen consecutive misshots.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
So is the series exposing cracks in the Boston Championship, Danna,
there's so many hack sports casters like to say, so
a thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The dependence, the absolute dependence on the three ball is
at this point entering into ancient Egyptian territory. You know
that image that was left by the people that lived
in that time in the caves. They had the art
in the caves in Egypt, and there's the image of
the dragon eating its own tail. Sometimes it's a snake.
(09:35):
That's essentially the Celtics here, like they are a one
trick pony and they're okay with it. Right, it's a
self defeating style. You live by the three ball, you
die by the three ball.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, but they won last year, so you can't criticize them.
They won the championship last year.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You don't know basketball, that's what you're doing the Overnight
show on Calm Down.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
All right, Well, it ain't last year, it's this year.
And what goes around comes around.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Right now, the man aint mathin as the Celtics, Holy Conoley,
how bad are they? They have now based on the
mat they have a twelve point five percent chance of
coming back and winning this series. That's the percentage chance
on teams that have come back losing the first two
games at home. But that does tell you what has happened,
(10:19):
not what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Now, page two, can.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You explain how Tom Thibodeau's Knickerbockers have spotted Boston twenty
point leads and then come back and won both games?
So I'm gonna follow the teachings of the Nobel Prize
winner died a few.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Years ago, Desmond to two.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You don't often hear Desmond Tutu's name on sports radio,
but he famously is quoted as saying there is only
one way to eat an elephant, a bite at a time.
The Celtics had a massive lead in both games New York.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What do they do? They whittled the lead.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Down in the second half, and they trimmed it down
to bite side portions. And the thing that I will
credit them unlike a team that I like that's gutless,
the Clippers or the spineless Denver Nuggets that gave up
in that game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And okay, see more on that later, but there was
no white fight.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
They were getting punched the Knicks, but they didn't tap out,
and so well, you're never supposed to tap out. It's
the playoff teams tap out all the time. The Knicks
kept on, kept on fighting, trucking, whatever you want to say.
They finished the race, and a perfect embodiment of the
Knicks coming back. Mckill Bridges, who was on his way
(11:37):
to being the villain. He was on his way to
being the villain, and then he turned out to be
the hero because he rewrote the story in the fourth quarter.
If you weren't watching the game, Bridges was not only
a basketball player. He was terrible for a three quarters.
Certainly offensively, he was terrible. He mid some plays defense,
He've been oh of eight from the floor. He had
a goose egg in the points category over the first
(12:00):
three quarters. And then he ends up scoring all of
his fourteen points in the fourth quarter. And so in
the end, now everyone's saying he's a Celtic, he's a
villain for the Celtic fans, but he was gonna be
a villain for the for the next the way he
was playing all right, Now, what is the anatomy of
the Boston Celtics choke job.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So there's some sound.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I have four sounds for the Celtics and how they
lost this game.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Boom wop bang doink.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's the sound of the basketball missing the net.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Boom wop bang doink.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
So they were up seven, Boston was up seventy three,
fifty three, and I jotted it was a little over
three minutes to go in the third quarter. So they're
up by twenty. From that point, you want to take
a guess. Take a guess what the Celtics shot the
rest of the game. So the final fifteen minutes and
(12:57):
twelve seconds, I went back, I looked at the score.
I did the Malord math on this. So the Celtics
took twenty eight shots over the final fifteen minutes and
twelve seconds. Of those twenty eight, how many did they miss?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Not make?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
How many did they miss? Okay, got your answer, don't cheat.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The Celtics missed twenty three of twenty eight shots they shot. Somehow,
a professional basketball team, the reigning championship Pro Basketball in
the fourth quarter, in the final minutes of the third quarter,
shot seventeen point nine percent. Let me repeat that for
those of you A little slow because we're on at
night here. Seventeen point nine percent is the shooting percentage
(13:46):
for the C's in the final fifteen minutes, and Jalen
Brown took five shots in that stretch.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
He did not score zero points.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Jason Tatum made one basket from the floor, Boston. How
about from three point rinch They took fourteen pre point
shots in the final fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Of course they did, that's all they do, and they
missed twelve of them.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They shot actually worse from three point range than they
did from.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Two point range.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And anyway, two of fourteen from downtown for the Celtics,
who find themselves in a very very tough quagmire at
this point. All right, now, last word, So a couple
of you knuckleheads that listen to us in Boston on
the Sports Hub, and we thank you for that. You
requested that I comment on Joel Missoula. But in particular,
(14:38):
I guess there's.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
A nickname, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Gonna take your word for this, so hopefully you're not
lying to me, because if you're lying to me, I'm
gonna sound like a jacket. But two different people, as
far as I know, they know each other. They said, Hey,
I want to get you. You know, you got to talk
about this, apparently the popular afternoon shower in Boston, the
I guess it's the Felger and Mas Show.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
They gave the nickname to Celtics coach Joe missou Love.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
They said that his his nickname is JJ, after the
podcaster imposter Laker coach. Okay, so, uh that's that's I laughed.
I chuckled when I saw that. So does the comp
does the comp of Joe Missoula Celtic coach Joe Mozula
(15:21):
being like JJ Reddick hold Water? So I'm gonna nod yes,
although there is a qualifiers, like Reddick is the podcast
puppet for Lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We know he's in over his head. You really know
what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I think he proved that in the playoffs. Uh, he
had a meltdown. It was a full circus meltdown when
he was questioned and then the Lakers went out there
lost the final game, which was.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Just great, just great.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But Joe Missoula, on the other hand, or JJ, I guess,
as they're calling Joe Mossoula is living in the as
he says, the expected world, attacking the game analytically, which
tells you he's not really.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Coaching like coaching is.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, I'm gonna mix in the analytics, but I'm also
gonna go by the field of the game.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's no feel of the game.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I promise you Joe Mizula does not follow the feel
of the game. If Joe Mosula followed the field of
the game, the Celtics would not have played the way they.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Played, right and uh and then both both are arrogant.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Although you gotta understand here side by side, if you
look at these guys, you got Reddick who's next level right,
next level, temperamental and all that, and a lot of bacteria.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Around both of them. Now, is Joe Mozoula in any
danger of the Celtics lose this series?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, because the entire organization this is how they want
to play. He is just a middle manager, sure, that
is all he is, Just like JJ Reddick is a
middle manager to Lebron and Lebron's coaching the team, and
JJ is pretending to be the coach and giving a
whole answers to the media. Joe Mozula is doing much
(17:12):
of the same thing, right, you know, in terms of
is Missoula. His confidence an asset or a liability for
the Celtics or right now it's a liability. But again,
I don't think he's in position to change anything. Like
he's a true believer in the dogma. He is a prince.
He's a partisan prince. He blindly follows the analytics. There's
(17:35):
no wiggle room and he's.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
At the point.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
And I didn't see much of the postgame news conference,
but he seems to be unwilling to even acknowledge that
there is an alternative way to play basketball. And if
anyone questions the way the Celtics play, he shames them.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
How dare you? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
It is?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
There's the Ben Malord Show. Hopefully nothing wrong with us.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
And the details there.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Were some details on the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
We'll post some stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Online too and let you know, but we're gonna be
there in Vancouver coming up in three weeks. We're not
NBA playoffs right now, playoffs as the postseason continues here,
and the run of good games ended in the second
game as the Oklahoma City Thunder put the whammy on
the Denver Nuggets Man Milkman Mike and Colorado White. Since
(22:14):
it's fantastic opening monologue, finally in office training for my
new position this week, and having you still in my ears,
making the night feel better unlike the debacle of a
Nuggets performance, Jeff bro save yourself and do not call
inexcusable performance. You're talking about course, Jeff and Denver, who
has become the face of the Denver Nuggets on this
(22:36):
show and has been a loud and pompous and all
of those things. Jeff and Denver. Now Milkman Mike. I'm
concerned here you said in office training. Does that mean
you will no longer be the Milkman? Are we gonna
lose Milkman Mike as a live listener? Are you gonna
go to the dreaded day shift because I don't know
(22:58):
if I can handle it?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Mark and Queens via Arlington, Texas says, let him play coach,
Joe Missoula nice clock and game management. Wow, setting basketball
back decades. Well, no, if he said basketball back to
a different ear they would have won the game. Man
uh Shane in Des Moines says, this kid Charlie in
(23:23):
Dallas is no Charlie in San Antonio. He says, I
missed that guy. He had a child around the same
time I had my youngest and disappeared. Yes, yeah, that
goes two ways. When when guys end up having a
family and they're overnight listeners, they either listen more because
(23:44):
the kids off puking and pooping in the middle of
the night, or they never listen again they feel like
they can't listen.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
At night because they had a kid.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, there's no there's no middle ground on that Berner account.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
The number one Ben Maller Berner says, good opening monologue. Men,
just checking in. I'm currently driving through Valley Head, Alabama,
delivering the Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Not out the late night shift, so he says, And
he did send a photo which appears to be his GPS.
I've never heard of that time. Anyone heard of that time?
Valley Head, Alabama, I've never No, definitely not, but it
sounds like the head of a valley, so it might
be nice. That's a tremendous analysis there. It's in northern Alabama.
(24:34):
Fun facts about.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It as of mallor fun fact The population in Valley Head, Alabama.
What do you think the population? Well, we'll go around
the room. We do around robin. We like doing round robins,
go around the room. Lo rain.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
How many people you think think live in Valley Head, Alabama.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, let me think you're very good. You're very good
with the math. By the way, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Hometown Rosberg only has twenty three thousand people, and that's
pretty small.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
But this sounds even smaller. So I'm gonna go with
thirteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Thirteen thousand, Okay, thirteen thousand people. That is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And again this is the number one burner account the
Ben Mountains. Number not number two, not number three, not
number four, number one driving through Valleyhead.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Alabama in his big rig. Right now, lead a lap.
Take a guess how many people live in Valley Head,
Alabama according to the twenty twenty census. I'm in twenty
twenty census. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
They haven't had another census is twenty they're every well,
I guess I guess they have actually, but this is
that's the last census where.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
We have the numbers. How about that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Let's say.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Thirty five hundred. Okay, thirty five hundred, well, showcase, Showdad rules.
Unfortunately you both lose the population five hundred and seventy seven.
Five hundred and seventy seven. Now that's small that's small
town living. And now that I look it up, they've
gained thirteen people. They're up to five ninety. So congrats
(26:04):
to Valide with those extra thirteen. You think there's a
Walmart there? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Probably not, Yeah, Sheriff bart writes, In says he's excited
about the way they all work. Okay, they all work
in the Walmart. Very funny Bill Miller. He sent the
Bill Miller. A lot of people have been sending the
Bill Miller Barbecue, which should be a sponsor of this show.
I don't understand how they're not a sponsor.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's a bad job by them, as missed opportunity by
Bill Miller Barbecue. They should absolutely be a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Spocks Weed rights in from the Oregon Trail says, I'm
not sure how great the Mall monologue was tonight, but
I found the pummeling of the Celtics to be delicious, delightful,
and delectable. Hat tip dear God, it's good the late
great Brian Wheeler wheels. Oh man, nobody quite did it
(26:55):
like Brian Wheeler as a play by play guy outstanding.
Supermarket Steve says, let him play. Joe is a great nickname.
In fact, when the Celtics had their final play the
announcer even said, Joe is gonna let him play. That's
what he does. That is what he does. Yeah, exactly,
all right, what else do we have? That's the page down?
(27:16):
Super Marcus Steve says he's upset with the mentions I
made of the Clippers. He says, it's my fault. This
is great, this, this this dink. Super Marcus Steve says
it's my fault because I didn't hold them accountable before
they got knocked out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yes, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
He says that my monologues did them in, says super Marit. Well,
I am very powerful, I'm Nomini present, I'm the oracle
of sports talk, so it is obvious that my commentary
affects the outcome of these games.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You I wish I could curse, I can't. I can't curse.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yes, So that just tells you that there's selective listening.
By Supermarket Steve. As I did a monologue before the
playoffs about James Harden.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
He vanished ten percent of the time. Playoff Harden is
a thing. I gave the numbers on it. Ten percent
of the time he vanishes. I talked about.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Kawhi Leonard getting hurt. But I guess you weren't listening,
Supermarket Steve. Maybe you should go to.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
An ear doctor. You should go, you go hang out
and an ear doctor.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
How about that? Yeah, milkman Mike, good news. We'd like
to confirmed all the affiliates down the line. Milkman Mike
is not leaving the milk business.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
He actually took a.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Promotion to route or root supervisor, so he'll still be
working the overnight shift, just not delivering every night.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All right. We didn't want to lose the milkman. I
mean we can't. We can't. You cannot lose the milk.
Cannot do it. Let's go to the phones. Let's see
any meanie mighty mo. Let's go to Liam in the Commonwealth. Liam.
Welcome on, you are on the Ben Maler Show. What's
going on? Liam?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
How are we doing? The first time? Long time? A
long time? First time to be honest. Yeah, So I
just want to say, man, I don't know Watson. That
last player the other game, Tatum, he looked like when
you let that, like you know, special kid join in
on the pickup game for like you know, the last
play to make it still special, and then he just
does some dumb stuff and.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
I don't know if he was going to do his mind.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I know Missoula let him play, but they don't play
top of ball, like you know, they don't want to shoot.
They got the big guys, but why are they not
attacking the rim? Like what do you think they're gonna
do with for zingers?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Well, what do you I mean, he can't he's not
helping them. So I don't know what are you gonna do?
You shut him down or are you gonna play a
little bit and not really do anything? I mean the.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Tatum he's so he was so passive. He was matched
up with Mitchell Robinson. You can't, right, you tell me
you can't blow past Robinson, or at least if you
can't blow past him, fall back and in a jump shot.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Easy, like he had that little heavy on him in
the beginning, and I was like, oooh, he got this.
This is game right here. Then I don't know what
he did. He tried to like, you.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Know, you wanted to run to the side, and.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Then last second, you know, decided to do that little
want to be Colby saying rust in peace. But like
I thought, it was just really whack.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
I still say, you know, Celtic and six and let
me let me guess you were.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You were saying Celtics and four before the series.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Now you then you went to five, and now you're
at six, and then after Saturday you'll be seven, right,
you'll be at seven.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You know I was.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
I was in Central I was in Central Park this
past weekend and I was, let everyone know four and
now you know, forggin, I feel.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Bad now here.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Well that's all right, Well you just looking at it
this way, Liam, whoever you told that to whatever, Nick
fans are smiling thinking about how stupid you look.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
So they're they're happy because of you. So yeah, all right,
thank you, all right, go away. There's Liam here and
the commy wealth. I'm talking about Tatum.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
His numbers are cringeworthy, for I know it's only two
games and who cares? Well, okay again, I mentioned twenty
eight percent shooting he's twenty five percent from three point range.
He has eight turnovers, and the Celtics have blown two
twenty point leads, not one two.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
That's hard to do back to back in belly to
belly at Home.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Did look like there were a lot of Nick fans
at the game in Boston, and that actually is what
we wanted to talk about here because the playground for
the rich the playground for the rich. So the ticket
prices in Boston were pretty high. However, for Game three
(31:33):
at Madison Square Garden on a Saturday afternoon in New
York City, it is estimated on the secondary market that
some of those high fallutin Wall Street people are going
to pay as much as over one hundred thousand dollars
(31:53):
to get in to watch Game three. Not a closeout game,
not a closeout game, just Game three. Even if the
Knicks win, the series is not over. But the record
amount for ticket prices to watch Game three at Madison
Square Garden on Saturday, there was a story that has
gone viable here the Knicks one hundred and eight thousand,
(32:15):
but for two tickets, so it's not per tickets fifty
what's the math on the fifty four thousand per ticket.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
And do you want me to check your math on that?
Ben No.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Eight thousand divided by Is that after taxes? Though? Is
that after taxes?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Do we know now the Knicks always give those like
Spike Lee and those guys get free tickets.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
They This is I haven't told for years. The Knicks
give the celebrities in New York.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
The people can actually afford to buy the tickets, they
give them free. They have celebrity row. And then the
key is they show them on the scoreboard that they're
allowed to brag that they have all these famous a
holes that go to the games and they give.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Them free tickets. Do you think Morgan will barfall over
the court on Saturday? Do you think he'll do that?
What are the odds on that? What are the odds
that Tracy Morgan rides with the vomit comment right there halftime?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I would I ever want to pay that much to
go to a game, even if I had the money,
I really don't think I would want to.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I don't think I would want to spend that amount
of money to go to a single sporting event, certainly
not one.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
In the second round of the playoffs. But that shows
you there's.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Still a lot of people, a lot of people in
New York that have disposable income. They have more money
than they know what to do. If you're gonna spend
over fifty thousand per ticket to see a second round
NBA Playoff game, you're doing okay, you're doing pretty good.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Let's go back to the phones and see who do
we have here? Eeny meany, miney mo.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Let's go now to Memphis and Big Daddy is up next.

Like Don Money did back in the seventies.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Or I mean, come on, alf the alien Opiner says
the Boston Hater arrest in peace. Yeah, we we tend
to think at this point we lost the Boston hater,
but he was one of the great callers in the
history of the show. Called us every year when the
Bruins were eliminated, the Celtics, the Red Sox and the Patriots,
(39:25):
And for twenty years he called every every single time
those teams were eliminated.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
And then he gave a Rick Burleson joke.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
He did a bunch of he had the same lines
Zazah this actress from back and I mean there was
I remember all his lines and so does alf the

Ben?
Speaker 3 (40:15):
My guess is Nicole Kidman.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
Well, Nicole was wonderful back in the day with the Lakers,
but unfortunately as incorrect. The correct answer is shay jilgis
Alexander and the game that was played on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Night plus fifty one. That's pretty good and he did
it in three quarters. That's not a bad night
We go welcome. It's our number what, our number one
original recipe podcast. We were up all night recording this
fresh pod, and here in our number one, we'll talk
about the big upset of the night. The Boston Celtics
lose again as the Knickerbockers come back from twenty down
in the final fifteen minutes to beat the Boston basketball team.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
So who gets the biggest.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Slices of the Celtic's Boston cream pie.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Of blame as they lose at home on the Parque again?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Is this series exposing cracks in Boston's championship DNA?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
We'll talk about that.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Can you explain how Tom Thibodeau's Knicks have won both
of these games? What are they doing to come back.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
In these games?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
And what was the anatomy of the Celtic choke job?
We'll talk about that. Does the comp of Celtic coach
Joe Mozula being like JJ Reddick hold water? And is
Joe Mozula's confidence and asset or a liability for the
Celtics right about now, we'll talk about all of those
things and more. Here it is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio, So.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
If you lose Game one, that's just a random occurrence.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
But if you lose again, what is that like? Where
does that fall in the spectrum?
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere providing dialogue
of the death as we have the wrong number coast
the coast, border to border and beyond on the mast
(01:52):
and fantastically powerful microphones of fsre amminating from the pepper
as our sports takes get extra pepper from the Fox
Sports radio studios, just like truck stop Fungus puts extra
pepper on his food at random truck stops across North America. Well,
(02:17):
this portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in
part by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
For over forty years, tire Rack.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation. I see Ferg Dog nodding his head. Yes,
tire rack dot com the way the tire buying shure
(02:45):
be So two NBA games, but only one really worthy
of much conversation. So that is where we will begin
the conversation and oh, what a fun conversation it will
be here because our lead is from Boston. As that
was the stage for Game two, everyone and their mother
anticipating that the Boston basketball team would come out with
(03:08):
vengeance and they were going to not let their guard
down like.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Many said they did in Game one.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
But it was the Eastern Conference semi finals, Jason Tatum
and the Seas trying to even the ledger against Jalen
Brunson in the knickerbocket. Now this was the early game.
Some say the undercard undercard, and I don't know if
you were watching it or not. If not, we had
another o mgmulmut, another OMG malmt in this one.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
What was it?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
McHale Bridges ceiling, another massive comeback. The Knicks were down
by twenty. Again they did it again. Oops, it happened again.
Down twenty. The Knicks stormback, second straight win and second
straight game, ceiling steal at the very end, and the
(04:00):
Knickerbockers leave the Boston Celtics totally discombobulated as they win
ninety one ninety and now New York on the road,
up two games to none, they have the lead. The
upstart underdog slim pickings of the Knickerbockers in the Eastern Conference,
Semi found the Jalen Brunson didn't play all that well,
(04:21):
he only had seventeen points. But New York with Jalen
Brunson out there, he made a couple of foul shots
with twelve point seven seconds to go in the game,
so that left the score ninety one to ninety. Jason Tatum,
mister all everything, mister I'm the greatest, all that stuff.
Jason Tatum then could not get to the rim, and
(04:42):
McHale Bridges came over there, he moved in, he batted
the ball away, a futile effort by Jason Tatum, rather pathetic,
and the Knickerbockers got it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
And that's it. That's all she wrote.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
So Josh Hart twenty three points, Carl Anthony Towns Kitty
Kat the old Timberwolve with twenty one points, seventeen rebounds,
and a partridge in the pear tree for New York,
who will now host Game three in Midtown Manhattan, right
adjacent to Penn Station there on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
You know what, the story here is the better story
in the losing locker room. But the question is who
gets the biggest slices of the Celtics Boston cream pie here,
who gets the biggest slices of that? So I've got
Green Comet, Nobel Prize winner and Prince and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going
(05:39):
to make a delicious soft pretzel, which the Celtics got
twisted into.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
In the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yet again, they got twisted into a delicious soft pretzel.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You can find out on the street. So a let's.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Start with the head of the fish. I was told
when I was younger that the fish rots from the
head Jason Tatum ding ding ding ding De Jason, Jason, Hey,
you know, I know you won your little championship last year,
but yeah, you still got to play this year. What
was that You're supposed to be the franchise player On
the final.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Possession, I'm gonna go back to that. So I don't
know that this can be understated.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The Knicks take a one point lead, and that Al
Horford came up to the top of the like the
three point line.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
He said, a screen, Tatum is dribbling the ball.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
So on the screen, I don't know if you noticed
this or not, but I jotted this down on my
little notesap.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
On my phone.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
So Horford sets the screen. There's two Knicks players there
on the screen. Tatum at this point after the screen
is now guarded by Mitchell Robinson, a taller player, a
lumbering big man, Mitchell Robinson with not a lot of
lateral movement. And so what did Jason Tatum do? Did
(06:53):
Jason Tatum zoom past Mitchell Robinson or did he fall
back and he eat take it easy jumper over Robinson? No,
he hesitated, he snoozed, and he losed as he failed
to even get a shot up And then mentioned mkil
Bridges came over and snatched the ball the way Tatum
(07:15):
was actually trying to pass the ball.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
He's trying to pass the ball. You can't make this up.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So you have the two headliners on the Celtics, Jalen Brown,
who fetched the final play in game one, and now
Jason Tatum says, hold my beer and let me take
care of this right now. He failed to even get
a game winning shot. So both your star players, neither
one of them got the shot on the rim, or
even in Jenon Tatum's case, even get shot up at
(07:40):
all as time ran out. And on this night, when
the dust settle, Jason Tatum only had thirteen more points
than you and I had and we didn't play in
the game. He took nineteen shots, he missed fourteen of them.
And Jason Tatum was the green comet, the green comet
of vomit is what he was in this game. Overall,
(08:02):
Tatum two games in two games in to the second
round of the NBA Playoffs, Jason Tatum, your all everything player,
shooting twenty eight and a half percent from the floor
and even worse than that from three point range, but
twelve to forty two from the floor. And this was
a team wide infestation of suck for the Celtics, who
(08:25):
definitely sucked at a time he cannot suck. The Green
team went more than eight minutes without a field goal
in the fourth quarter. More than eight minutes without a
field goal in the fourth quarter. They missed not one,
not two, not three, not four, not five, not six,
not seven, not eight, not nine, not ten, not eleven,
not too how about thirteen consecutive shots? And what was
(08:49):
the coach doing over there in the sidelines? No no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Keep shooting bys. Yeah, thirteen consecutive misshots.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
So is the series exposing cracks in the Boston Championship, Danna,
there's so many hack sports casters like to say, so
a thousand percent.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
The dependence, the absolute dependence on the three ball is
at this point entering into ancient Egyptian territory. You know
that image that was left by the people that lived
in that time in the caves. They had the art
in the caves in Egypt, and there's the image of
the dragon eating its own tail. Sometimes it's a snake.
(09:35):
That's essentially the Celtics here, like they are a one
trick pony and they're okay with it. Right, it's a
self defeating style. You live by the three ball, you
die by the three ball.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, but they won last year, so you can't criticize them.
They won the championship last year.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You don't know basketball, that's what you're doing the Overnight
show on Calm Down.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
All right, Well, it ain't last year, it's this year.
And what goes around comes around.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Right now, the man aint mathin as the Celtics, Holy Conoley,
how bad are they? They have now based on the
mat they have a twelve point five percent chance of
coming back and winning this series. That's the percentage chance
on teams that have come back losing the first two
games at home. But that does tell you what has happened,
(10:19):
not what's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Now, page two, can.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
You explain how Tom Thibodeau's Knickerbockers have spotted Boston twenty
point leads and then come back and won both games?
So I'm gonna follow the teachings of the Nobel Prize
winner died a few.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Years ago, Desmond to two.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You don't often hear Desmond Tutu's name on sports radio,
but he famously is quoted as saying there is only
one way to eat an elephant, a bite at a time.
The Celtics had a massive lead in both games New York.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
What do they do? They whittled the lead.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Down in the second half, and they trimmed it down
to bite side portions. And the thing that I will
credit them unlike a team that I like that's gutless,
the Clippers or the spineless Denver Nuggets that gave up
in that game.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
And okay, see more on that later, but there was
no white fight.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
They were getting punched the Knicks, but they didn't tap out,
and so well, you're never supposed to tap out. It's
the playoff teams tap out all the time. The Knicks
kept on, kept on fighting, trucking, whatever you want to say.
They finished the race, and a perfect embodiment of the
Knicks coming back. Mckill Bridges, who was on his way
(11:37):
to being the villain. He was on his way to
being the villain, and then he turned out to be
the hero because he rewrote the story in the fourth quarter.
If you weren't watching the game, Bridges was not only
a basketball player. He was terrible for a three quarters.
Certainly offensively, he was terrible. He mid some plays defense,
He've been oh of eight from the floor. He had
a goose egg in the points category over the first
(12:00):
three quarters. And then he ends up scoring all of
his fourteen points in the fourth quarter. And so in
the end, now everyone's saying he's a Celtic, he's a
villain for the Celtic fans, but he was gonna be
a villain for the for the next the way he
was playing all right, Now, what is the anatomy of
the Boston Celtics choke job.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
So there's some sound.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I have four sounds for the Celtics and how they
lost this game.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Boom wop bang doink.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
That's the sound of the basketball missing the net.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Boom wop bang doink.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
So they were up seven, Boston was up seventy three,
fifty three, and I jotted it was a little over
three minutes to go in the third quarter. So they're
up by twenty. From that point, you want to take
a guess. Take a guess what the Celtics shot the
rest of the game. So the final fifteen minutes and
(12:57):
twelve seconds, I went back, I looked at the score.
I did the Malord math on this. So the Celtics
took twenty eight shots over the final fifteen minutes and
twelve seconds. Of those twenty eight, how many did they miss?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Not make?
Speaker 2 (13:16):
How many did they miss? Okay, got your answer, don't cheat.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
The Celtics missed twenty three of twenty eight shots they shot. Somehow,
a professional basketball team, the reigning championship Pro Basketball in
the fourth quarter, in the final minutes of the third quarter,
shot seventeen point nine percent. Let me repeat that for
those of you A little slow because we're on at
night here. Seventeen point nine percent is the shooting percentage
(13:46):
for the C's in the final fifteen minutes, and Jalen
Brown took five shots in that stretch.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
He did not score zero points.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Jason Tatum made one basket from the floor, Boston. How
about from three point rinch They took fourteen pre point
shots in the final fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Of course they did, that's all they do, and they
missed twelve of them.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
They shot actually worse from three point range than they
did from.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Two point range.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
And anyway, two of fourteen from downtown for the Celtics,
who find themselves in a very very tough quagmire at
this point. All right, now, last word, So a couple
of you knuckleheads that listen to us in Boston on
the Sports Hub, and we thank you for that. You
requested that I comment on Joel Missoula. But in particular,
(14:38):
I guess there's.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
A nickname, and I'm.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Gonna take your word for this, so hopefully you're not
lying to me, because if you're lying to me, I'm
gonna sound like a jacket. But two different people, as
far as I know, they know each other. They said, Hey,
I want to get you. You know, you got to talk
about this, apparently the popular afternoon shower in Boston, the
I guess it's the Felger and Mas Show.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
They gave the nickname to Celtics coach Joe missou Love.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
They said that his his nickname is JJ, after the
podcaster imposter Laker coach. Okay, so, uh that's that's I laughed.
I chuckled when I saw that. So does the comp
does the comp of Joe Missoula Celtic coach Joe Mozula
(15:21):
being like JJ Reddick hold Water? So I'm gonna nod yes,
although there is a qualifiers, like Reddick is the podcast
puppet for Lebron.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
We know he's in over his head. You really know
what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I think he proved that in the playoffs. Uh, he
had a meltdown. It was a full circus meltdown when
he was questioned and then the Lakers went out there
lost the final game, which was.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Just great, just great.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
But Joe Missoula, on the other hand, or JJ, I guess,
as they're calling Joe Mossoula is living in the as
he says, the expected world, attacking the game analytically, which
tells you he's not really.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Coaching like coaching is.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Okay, I'm gonna mix in the analytics, but I'm also
gonna go by the field of the game.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's no feel of the game.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
I promise you Joe Mizula does not follow the feel
of the game. If Joe Mosula followed the field of
the game, the Celtics would not have played the way they.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Played, right and uh and then both both are arrogant.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Although you gotta understand here side by side, if you
look at these guys, you got Reddick who's next level right,
next level, temperamental and all that, and a lot of bacteria.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Around both of them. Now, is Joe Mozoula in any
danger of the Celtics lose this series?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, because the entire organization this is how they want
to play. He is just a middle manager, sure, that
is all he is, Just like JJ Reddick is a
middle manager to Lebron and Lebron's coaching the team, and
JJ is pretending to be the coach and giving a
whole answers to the media. Joe Mozula is doing much
(17:12):
of the same thing, right, you know, in terms of
is Missoula. His confidence an asset or a liability for
the Celtics or right now it's a liability. But again,
I don't think he's in position to change anything. Like
he's a true believer in the dogma. He is a prince.
He's a partisan prince. He blindly follows the analytics. There's
(17:35):
no wiggle room and he's.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
At the point.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
And I didn't see much of the postgame news conference,
but he seems to be unwilling to even acknowledge that
there is an alternative way to play basketball. And if
anyone questions the way the Celtics play, he shames them.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Shame, shame, shame.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
How dare you? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
It is?
Speaker 2 (18:00):
There's the Ben Malord Show. Hopefully nothing wrong with us.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
And the details there.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Were some details on the podcast, the Fifth Hour podcast
a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
We'll post some stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Online too and let you know, but we're gonna be
there in Vancouver coming up in three weeks. We're not
NBA playoffs right now, playoffs as the postseason continues here,
and the run of good games ended in the second
game as the Oklahoma City Thunder put the whammy on
the Denver Nuggets Man Milkman Mike and Colorado White. Since
(22:14):
it's fantastic opening monologue, finally in office training for my
new position this week, and having you still in my ears,
making the night feel better unlike the debacle of a
Nuggets performance, Jeff bro save yourself and do not call
inexcusable performance. You're talking about course, Jeff and Denver, who
has become the face of the Denver Nuggets on this
(22:36):
show and has been a loud and pompous and all
of those things. Jeff and Denver. Now Milkman Mike. I'm
concerned here you said in office training. Does that mean
you will no longer be the Milkman? Are we gonna
lose Milkman Mike as a live listener? Are you gonna
go to the dreaded day shift because I don't know
(22:58):
if I can handle it?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Mark and Queens via Arlington, Texas says, let him play coach,
Joe Missoula nice clock and game management. Wow, setting basketball
back decades. Well, no, if he said basketball back to
a different ear they would have won the game. Man
uh Shane in Des Moines says, this kid Charlie in
(23:23):
Dallas is no Charlie in San Antonio. He says, I
missed that guy. He had a child around the same
time I had my youngest and disappeared. Yes, yeah, that
goes two ways. When when guys end up having a
family and they're overnight listeners, they either listen more because
(23:44):
the kids off puking and pooping in the middle of
the night, or they never listen again they feel like
they can't listen.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
At night because they had a kid.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, there's no there's no middle ground on that Berner account.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
The number one Ben Maller Berner says, good opening monologue. Men,
just checking in. I'm currently driving through Valley Head, Alabama,
delivering the Pottsville, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Not out the late night shift, so he says, And
he did send a photo which appears to be his GPS.
I've never heard of that time. Anyone heard of that time?
Valley Head, Alabama, I've never No, definitely not, but it
sounds like the head of a valley, so it might
be nice. That's a tremendous analysis there. It's in northern Alabama.
(24:34):
Fun facts about.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
It as of mallor fun fact The population in Valley Head, Alabama.
What do you think the population? Well, we'll go around
the room. We do around robin. We like doing round robins,
go around the room. Lo rain.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
How many people you think think live in Valley Head, Alabama.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Well, let me think you're very good. You're very good
with the math. By the way, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Hometown Rosberg only has twenty three thousand people, and that's
pretty small.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
But this sounds even smaller. So I'm gonna go with
thirteen thousand.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Thirteen thousand, Okay, thirteen thousand people. That is the answer.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
And again this is the number one burner account the
Ben Mountains. Number not number two, not number three, not
number four, number one driving through Valleyhead.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
Alabama in his big rig. Right now, lead a lap.
Take a guess how many people live in Valley Head,
Alabama according to the twenty twenty census. I'm in twenty
twenty census. I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
They haven't had another census is twenty they're every well,
I guess I guess they have actually, but this is
that's the last census where.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
We have the numbers. How about that.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Let's say.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Thirty five hundred. Okay, thirty five hundred, well, showcase, Showdad rules.
Unfortunately you both lose the population five hundred and seventy seven.
Five hundred and seventy seven. Now that's small that's small
town living. And now that I look it up, they've
gained thirteen people. They're up to five ninety. So congrats
(26:04):
to Valide with those extra thirteen. You think there's a
Walmart there? Probably not?
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Probably not, Yeah, Sheriff bart writes, In says he's excited
about the way they all work. Okay, they all work
in the Walmart. Very funny Bill Miller. He sent the
Bill Miller. A lot of people have been sending the
Bill Miller Barbecue, which should be a sponsor of this show.
I don't understand how they're not a sponsor.
Speaker 2 (26:28):
That's a bad job by them, as missed opportunity by
Bill Miller Barbecue. They should absolutely be a sponsor.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Spocks Weed rights in from the Oregon Trail says, I'm
not sure how great the Mall monologue was tonight, but
I found the pummeling of the Celtics to be delicious, delightful,
and delectable. Hat tip dear God, it's good the late
great Brian Wheeler wheels. Oh man, nobody quite did it
(26:55):
like Brian Wheeler as a play by play guy outstanding.
Supermarket Steve says, let him play. Joe is a great nickname.
In fact, when the Celtics had their final play the
announcer even said, Joe is gonna let him play. That's
what he does. That is what he does. Yeah, exactly,
all right, what else do we have? That's the page down?
(27:16):
Super Marcus Steve says he's upset with the mentions I
made of the Clippers. He says, it's my fault. This
is great, this, this this dink. Super Marcus Steve says
it's my fault because I didn't hold them accountable before
they got knocked out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yes, he says.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
He says that my monologues did them in, says super Marit. Well,
I am very powerful, I'm Nomini present, I'm the oracle
of sports talk, so it is obvious that my commentary
affects the outcome of these games.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
You I wish I could curse, I can't. I can't curse.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yes, So that just tells you that there's selective listening.
By Supermarket Steve. As I did a monologue before the
playoffs about James Harden.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
He vanished ten percent of the time. Playoff Harden is
a thing. I gave the numbers on it. Ten percent
of the time he vanishes. I talked about.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Kawhi Leonard getting hurt. But I guess you weren't listening,
Supermarket Steve. Maybe you should go to.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
An ear doctor. You should go, you go hang out
and an ear doctor.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
How about that? Yeah, milkman Mike, good news. We'd like
to confirmed all the affiliates down the line. Milkman Mike
is not leaving the milk business.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
He actually took a.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Promotion to route or root supervisor, so he'll still be
working the overnight shift, just not delivering every night.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
All right. We didn't want to lose the milkman. I
mean we can't. We can't. You cannot lose the milk.
Cannot do it. Let's go to the phones. Let's see
any meanie mighty mo. Let's go to Liam in the Commonwealth. Liam.
Welcome on, you are on the Ben Maler Show. What's
going on? Liam?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (28:54):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (28:54):
How are we doing? The first time? Long time? A
long time? First time to be honest. Yeah, So I
just want to say, man, I don't know Watson. That
last player the other game, Tatum, he looked like when
you let that, like you know, special kid join in
on the pickup game for like you know, the last
play to make it still special, and then he just
does some dumb stuff and.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
I don't know if he was going to do his mind.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
I know Missoula let him play, but they don't play
top of ball, like you know, they don't want to shoot.
They got the big guys, but why are they not
attacking the rim? Like what do you think they're gonna
do with for zingers?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Well, what do you I mean, he can't he's not
helping them. So I don't know what are you gonna do?
You shut him down or are you gonna play a
little bit and not really do anything? I mean the.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Tatum he's so he was so passive. He was matched
up with Mitchell Robinson. You can't, right, you tell me
you can't blow past Robinson, or at least if you
can't blow past him, fall back and in a jump shot.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Easy, like he had that little heavy on him in
the beginning, and I was like, oooh, he got this.
This is game right here. Then I don't know what
he did. He tried to like, you.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Know, you wanted to run to the side, and.
Speaker 5 (30:01):
Then last second, you know, decided to do that little
want to be Colby saying rust in peace. But like
I thought, it was just really whack.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You know.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
I still say, you know, Celtic and six and let
me let me guess you were.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
You were saying Celtics and four before the series.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Now you then you went to five, and now you're
at six, and then after Saturday you'll be seven, right,
you'll be at seven.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
You know I was.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
I was in Central I was in Central Park this
past weekend and I was, let everyone know four and
now you know, forggin, I feel.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Bad now here.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Well that's all right, Well you just looking at it
this way, Liam, whoever you told that to whatever, Nick
fans are smiling thinking about how stupid you look.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
So they're they're happy because of you. So yeah, all right,
thank you, all right, go away. There's Liam here and
the commy wealth. I'm talking about Tatum.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
His numbers are cringeworthy, for I know it's only two
games and who cares? Well, okay again, I mentioned twenty
eight percent shooting he's twenty five percent from three point range.
He has eight turnovers, and the Celtics have blown two
twenty point leads, not one two.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
That's hard to do back to back in belly to
belly at Home.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Did look like there were a lot of Nick fans
at the game in Boston, and that actually is what
we wanted to talk about here because the playground for
the rich the playground for the rich. So the ticket
prices in Boston were pretty high. However, for Game three
(31:33):
at Madison Square Garden on a Saturday afternoon in New
York City, it is estimated on the secondary market that
some of those high fallutin Wall Street people are going
to pay as much as over one hundred thousand dollars
(31:53):
to get in to watch Game three. Not a closeout game,
not a closeout game, just Game three. Even if the
Knicks win, the series is not over. But the record
amount for ticket prices to watch Game three at Madison
Square Garden on Saturday, there was a story that has
gone viable here the Knicks one hundred and eight thousand,
(32:15):
but for two tickets, so it's not per tickets fifty
what's the math on the fifty four thousand per ticket.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
And do you want me to check your math on that?
Ben No.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Eight thousand divided by Is that after taxes? Though? Is
that after taxes?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Do we know now the Knicks always give those like
Spike Lee and those guys get free tickets.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
They This is I haven't told for years. The Knicks
give the celebrities in New York.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
The people can actually afford to buy the tickets, they
give them free. They have celebrity row. And then the
key is they show them on the scoreboard that they're
allowed to brag that they have all these famous a
holes that go to the games and they give.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Them free tickets. Do you think Morgan will barfall over
the court on Saturday? Do you think he'll do that?
What are the odds on that? What are the odds
that Tracy Morgan rides with the vomit comment right there halftime?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
I would I ever want to pay that much to
go to a game, even if I had the money,
I really don't think I would want to.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
I don't think I would want to spend that amount
of money to go to a single sporting event, certainly
not one.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
In the second round of the playoffs. But that shows
you there's.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Still a lot of people, a lot of people in
New York that have disposable income. They have more money
than they know what to do. If you're gonna spend
over fifty thousand per ticket to see a second round
NBA Playoff game, you're doing okay, you're doing pretty good.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Let's go back to the phones and see who do
we have here? Eeny meany, miney mo.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Let's go now to Memphis and Big Daddy is up next.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Hello, big Daddy, welcome.
