Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we all it's our numb b two, our two
happy Thursday as we swing the balance here in our
number two.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Is there a deeper.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Meaning to Celtics coach Joe Missoula saying he's happy that
Chris stops Porzingi's played.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Covered in blood?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, what intrigues you the most about that Porzingis moment
against Orlando as the Celtic player very dramatically walked out
with blood everywhere?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And we'll talk some baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do you have any empathy for ken Lee Jansen and
the Angels public complaints over their travel.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Schedule, the boo hoo hoo. They're not happy. It's unfair,
it's unfair. We'll talk about all it's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We'll talk about all of that and more and try
to rock the boat. Here it is our number two
saying is you're bleeding green, but it turns out you're
actually bleeding red. Well, come in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in the
air everywhere, crawling as we stay in the game.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You gotta stay in the game.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Coast to coast, sport of the border and beyond on
the vast and tremendously powerful microphones of FSR.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Amminating live from.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Scratch as our secret sauce is made from scratch with
a secret family recipe right here at the Fox Sports
Radio Studios, which is approved that secret recipe by Stuck
in Sacramento. He approves that one hundred percent of the time.
And this portion of the Ben Malley Show made possible
(01:52):
by Tire Act for more for over forty years.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
For that's a long time. Over forty years, tire.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Act has been helping customers find the right time 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, tire act dot Com The Way Tire
Buying Show be so our lead this hour, Our lead,
this hour is from Boston. We peak around the playoff
(02:21):
card Eastern Conference, Eastern Conference out of the bracket, the
Boston basketball team playing without Jason Tatum. Oh my aching
wrist out by that. Yeah, he came down hard on
the wrist there and said he.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Was perfectly fine. Everything was good.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yet he did not play in Game two versus Orlando,
and this was one of the first games of the
night there. I don't know if you saw this or not
if you were checking it out, maybe you were objecting
to the game and watching something else you said, enough
is enough, But we watched, so you would not have
to Jalen Brown, who is being paid as a number
one type player, Well, Jaylen Brown went out and played
(02:58):
number He had thirty six points, ten rebounds, five assists.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And the story here was not so much Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It was Chris tops Porzingis, who dramatically returned to the
game after getting bloody, a big, bloody gash right on
his forehead, right in the middle of his forehead. Had
twenty points, and the Celtics beat the Magic, and so
Boston up two to OHO in the series. And they
(03:27):
win a game without Tatum, who has a.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Bone bruise, a contrusion.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He's got a bone bruise in his right wrist, and
he missed a playoff.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Game for the first time in his career, so he
was out.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But Boston up two oh and they are in good
shape here, led by his many's fifteen in the second half.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They did hold off a mild push by the team
from Mickey Town in Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
There the Celtics had twelve three pointers, which is not
that many for them. They were twenty five of thirty
three from the charity right. Game three is Friday in
Central Florida. The bigger story here, though, is the subplot,
and that is the moment that we will remember, not
(04:12):
long term, but we'll remember it for the short term.
Celtics center Christops Porzingis went to the locker room with
a massive gash right there on his forehead, blood in
the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And I came back out.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
They slapped a bandage on his forehead and he shot
a pair of foul shots.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He took a full elbow from.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
A guy I've never heard of on the Orlando Magic
is it Goga Bitadza. That's a mouthful anyway, for me,
not for him. And that that was in the third quarter. Now,
during the review, there was a lengthy review as they
wanted to watch every possible angle and high death of
the elbow from Bodza Bitadze rather as it hit Porzigis.
(05:01):
So during the review, Chris Stops dramatically emerged from the
locker room.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The crowd went wild. The crowd went wild.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He had blood down the back of his head, he
was completely disheveled and.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
At bandage right there in the four.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
As we mentioned, he re entered the game, connected one
of two foul shots, and then left the game again,
and that led to the great SoundBite of the night.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Joel Missoula Joe Missoula as.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Only he can do commenting on Chris stops Porzingis and
I think we have the audio on list listen to
Joe as he works himself up into a crescendo.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I like his overall just approach. I think he has
an ability and innate ability to take things very serious
and at the same time, you know, have great perspective
and then you know, you see how he I think
he can control his environment really well, with how he
handles the crowd and how he handles the physicality of it,
and he can maintain his kind of his poise, and
he just has a great way about him. And I
(06:02):
think that that that helps us. And like, yeah, I
do I love watching him. I like watching him lead
on the court. I think it's important and then he
you know, he comes back in and does his job.
So I do like that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
About Yeah, all right, I like that about it. Let's
we play that this this highlight that last part listen.
Listen again. This is the this is the money part
of it. Listen closely.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I like watching them lead on the court.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think it's important. Yeah, there you go. I like
watching them bleed on the court. I think it's important.
All right, So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Is there a deeper meaning to the Celtic coach Joe Mizzoula.
Let him play Joe Joe Mizoula being happy that Chris
stops porzingis played covered in blood. So my observations, I've
got Kleenex, milkman, and Paris baguette, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are going to
(06:55):
spike the punch bowl, is what we're gonna do. We're
gonna spike the punch bowl, all right, So no, can
I get a numb burn.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
To answer the question is there a deeper meaning of this?
I am nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yeah, yeah,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, I'm gone. I'letna get busy if I keep doing this.
Aside from Joe Mizoula continuing to be the quirky quote
machine of the NBA. Now, I am not, as you know,
a psychologist.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I am just a.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Mere peon in the radio world, the overnight gas bag. However,
I can't play a shrink on the radio. And here's
my diagnosi. Joe Mazoo was confessing. That was a confessional
that he is concerned. The coach of the Celtics is
worried that the reigning NBA champions are soft, and there
(07:51):
was meeting in that.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Coach Joe does not want to coach a team of flowers.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He doesn't want the pussy willow flower team out there.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now, to rephrase this for those of you a little
slow in the back of the room, Joe Mizoula is
worried about the Kleenex. He wants to avoid a tissue
paper team and instead he wants that thick scar tissue
is what he would like and it's unbecoming.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
If you're not like that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You might remember when when Jason Tatum got hurt in
Game one, Missoula ran out there and chased the trainer away.
Do you remember that he pushed the trainer away for
the Celtics, the medical staff away because he's trying to
toughen up Tatum. Turned out, Tatum missed the game, but
porzingis he's out there. There's blood on the floor, there's
(08:40):
blood everywhere, and Mozilla's his quote is, hey, he was happy.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He liked watching him bleed out on the court right there.
He enjoyed it. He enjoyed it. And so there we are.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And it's pretty wild though, considering that porzingis his reputation,
one of the reasons he kept moving around from the
Knickerbockers to the Mavericks and all these other teams. He's
played for Washington. His reputation is fragile, fradgile. He's your
prototypical modern NBA ballplayer who misses a ton of games.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He's always hurt. He was hurt last year.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
When the Celtics went on their run and they would
win the championship. He got hurt in that run, all
right now, Page two. So what intrigues you the most
about this individual? Christops berzingis moment for the Celtics. So
for me, it's the obvious cinematic nature of the event,
all right, the cinematic nature. If this had been during
(09:37):
an NBA Finals game, it would have been on par
on par with Paul Pierce, who needed a wheelchair because
he soiled his pants. He had poopy in the pantsy
and he had to get a wheelchair because he didn't
want people to see the streak down the.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Back of his pants. Now, Chris stops on this one.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Was the milkman now, not Milkman My in Colorado, although
Milkbad Mike in Colorado was.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
In Boston recently.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No, no, no, he was a different milkman because Porzingis
was playing to the crowd. He was smiling from ear
to ear. He was milking the malman, just enjoying the
hell out of it. As the crowd chanted his name.
Porzingis looked like he was in some kind of a fight,
like a Rocky Balboa old school boxing movie. Bloodied, battered, bruised,
(10:26):
and completely beaten.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But he came back into the game.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And was he actually growing a unicorn or did somebody
take the unicorn off of his forehead? Now, as for
Jason Tatum, that particular injury is at a big deal,
a little deal, or no deal. So I have it
as a no deal. I don't think it's a big deal,
even though he missed the game. I believe the reason
he missed the game is because the Celtics don't consider
(10:52):
the magic a.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Threat and they were right.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
They went out there without without Tatum and without Porzingis
for a stretch, and they still beat Orlando. So out
of an abundance of caution, remember that back in twenty
twenty shut the whole world down. I have an abundance
of caution. But out of an abundance of caution, they
rested Tatum. Had this been a tougher opponent, a worthy opponent,
(11:18):
we believe on this side of the microphones, that he
would have played. He would have played all right.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Final point.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Now, I was gonna talk about the calves and the heat,
and I attempted to find a talking point I did.
I don't want to shortchange the people of Cleveland. I
don't want to do that. I could not find a
talking point. I could not find a talking point. There's
nothing there. I know that Miami was within a couple
of points late in the fourth quarter, but there was
(11:46):
just nothing that really stood out, and so we moved
to the diamond. Baseball barbarism. A major league baseball team
complaining complaining about work conditions. Is it a baseball team
that plays in a minor league ballpark the Tampa Bay Rays. No,
Is it a baseball team that plays in a minor
(12:06):
league ballpark. The Sacramento Athletics, no, the team that wears
the halo, but making it seem like they're playing in
baseball hell. Now, to set this up, Bajor League baseball
teams normally play an afternoon game on a getaway day
before or they go to or leave the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's typically how it's done.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You fly to or from the West Coast, you play
a day because you got to sit on the plane
for a few hours, God forbid. And especially if there's
no often you don't have a day off between games.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You play the early game and then you go out
and you play. You play the following day at night.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The Angels our schedule here on this Thursday to play
the Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Pirates the Buckos. There's only one person I know that
cares about that game. That's serious, Sean. So the Pirates
and the Angels are gonna play in Anaheim. And then
the Angels will.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Take a chartered bus. They will have an escort. They
will go to the airport. They will go to a
special part of the airport not to be touched by
the unwashed. They will then board a chartered flight. They
will then fly to Minnesota. They will then get off
the plane to a private bus with an escort, and
(13:26):
they will then go to a hotel where they will
check in at a five star hotel and then play
a bunch of road games in Minnesota starting the following night.
And the Angels are spitting mad about this. Among the players,
you have closer Kenley Jansen, which is still very odd
that guy blew some big games with the Dodgers. Kenley
(13:48):
Jansen and outfielder Taylor Ward have called the travel schedule,
among other things, quote not healthy, quot quote end quote unfair.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
They're arguing it creates a competitive disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Ken Lee Jansen in particular, sounded like someone might die.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Because of this.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Do you have empathy for ken Lee Jansen and the
Angels and their public complaints about their travel schedule?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So I will be the judge, jury and executioner on
this one, and motion denied. Motion denied.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Now the Angels, I don't know if they have any
sponsors left because who I've watched day of those games,
but the Angels should be sponsored by Paris Baguette, because
that is a team filled with cream puffs. That is
a cream puff team complaining about the schedule.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I thought everyone learned this.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I thought one of the lessons of sport, one of
the lessons that we learn in sport is complaining about
the schedule does not change the schedule, and that the
teams that are good, the teams that win, the teams
that celebrate victories on a regular basis, they focus their
energy on adapting and using that as a badge of honor,
(15:05):
a badge of honor, preparing overcoming that. That is an obstacle.
That is machismo, that is masculinity. You've overcome an obstacle.
Not the modern athlete, not the angels. No, no, no,
oh it's hard.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's so difficult. Ash shut up, so stupid, it is
so dumb.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Rather than say, Okay, we're gonna use this as an
exciting thing to build some mental toughness, and we're gonna
show what kind of tough team you are. You acknowledge it,
and then you rise above it. The angels, Oh no,
it's not healthy, it's unfair.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We gotta go on a chartered plane. A charted You're
not sitting on Southwest Group B. You're on a chartered plane.
You're not flying Spirit Airlines. Where if you breathe and
spit a loogie, they charge you for it. Then you
get on your luxury chartered bus, you go to your
five star hotel with eight gazillion thread count sheets. You
(16:05):
talk about hardship, you talk about overcoming, overcoming adverse. It's
like it's like skid Row amazing courage in sports. The
Angels courage in sports so embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
He's so stupid. Oh my god, I saw you gotta
be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And the other part of it is they're actually complaining
about ownership because the team decides the time of the game,
the home team decides, there are rules, there are rules,
But really what the Angel's entire team is doing is
complaining about Artie Marino. Look but yet, see they want
to be paid as much moneys they don't get as
far as I know. And so the Angels, they know
(16:50):
if they played the Pirates at one o'clock on a
Thursday afternoon in April, there would have been seven and
a half people there. Seven and one really short person
would have been there. Okay, seven and a half people
would have been a game. They played the game at night,
they got fifteen people, so they double the attendance at night,
so that's.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Why they did that.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Pro bouncy ball bleeding Celtic, not a bleeding hard a
bleeding forehead Celtic as the blood gushing and perzingis would
not be a good boxer. He is like a tomato can,
like a tomato can. Did the Orlando guy have a
razor blade? Did he have a razor blade on his elbow?
(21:45):
Because that's a lot of blood, Like that's a geyser
that's at a national park. They would say, look at
that geyser over there, look at all the blood and
the geyser with perzingis.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Coming up later this hour, we're gonna have Mallard to

Your Rocky reference could not have been more on point.
Was just waiting for Mickey to tell him to He
didn't hear no bells. I heard Nobel's what else a
late night drug test. This is the only conditions the
(22:21):
Angels players should be complaining about is the extremely high
expectations from Fergdog.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Ferg Dog says, I've.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Always wanted more Anaheim Angels talk on the show, but
not if you're going to make fun of them. Now,
I'm going to strike, just kidding. Striking is for losers,
Ferg Doog says, and his grounds for immediate removal from
the Malord militia. Okay, so he says that we should
(22:50):
kick out, we should kick out, say blind Scott and
super Market Steve, And it is under consideration we might
have to call a war tribunal to decide. I'll have
to get Alfie Alleno, Piner, Chip in the Cues Legends
and put them together and Justin and Cincinnati Robbie the
Mariner fan to decide what we're gonna do. Manuell and Guardina,
(23:11):
get them all side by side and see if we
can figure it out.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
What else do we have to see? Page down?
Speaker 1 (23:16):
Chip in the Cues who's got a bad knee, says
a plus on the mall monologue. I think Joe Mozilla
may need to get himself some serious therapy for his
obvious Dracula obsession.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What a ghoul this guy is? What a ghoul? He says.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Trucker Joe writes and says, sliding through Saint Louis right now,
I could wish I could get some barbecue at this
time of night, but nothing. Breakfast tacos from Dallas this morning.
Tell me the corn egg cheese, potatoes on corn tortilla,
so you don't need to brag about it. So Saint
(23:55):
Louis does not have a twenty four hour barbecue place.
It's a nice little photo you took from your truck
of the great arch. You ever been to Saint Louis Lorain?
You ever been to Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
And seeing that.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
You have not, It's it's just a nice looking place there.
You know, even like toasted ravioli. That's the home of
the toasted raviole.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
I love toasted ravioli. Okay, at the fair in Oregon,
you know how they have different fair foods. Yeah, sure,
there's a.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
Toasted ravioli stand and it's got the cheese on the inside.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
Yeah, oh goodness, good solid. Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
We'd also like to alert all the affiliates. Siria Sean
is on the train headed back to Arizona. Sirias Sean
is on the train headed back home. So he's he
did go to the Angel Pirate games. He did not
stay for the game on Thursday night, obviously his last night.
And there you go, ah right, why we have a
fun fact of the hour.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
How fun is that? A fun fact?
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Day later, the fun fact says, the Diamondbacks and Rays
playing this week. Here this this is a twenty four
hour fun fact. They began this series. Both franchises were
born in nineteen ninety eight. Both franchises have exactly at
the start of that series, they had twenty one hundred victories.
(25:10):
How about that both, It's like twib notes this week
in baseball exactly. Even Arizona does have that shiny championship
trophy from beating the Yankees in the World Series, Tampa
Bay they have none of that.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
They lost a couple times in the World Series, including
to the Doyers.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Back in the day, Architection calls it is yes, I

It was discussed in the West Wing, the Rockets owner
revealing rather casually that he was talking to the president.
The Rockets owner Tillman for Tita says he was talking
to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and
they discussed the Luca trade at the Oval Office. At
(28:31):
the Oval Office, the Rockets owner revealed that he talked
about the trade, the dumb ass trade.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
In the Oval Office.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Says he was in the White House in the Oval
Office there with the Prime Minister of Italy and President Trump.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
This was last last week.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
They talked about the Houston cougars for a little bit
and then they talked about the dumbass Luca trade. There
you go, imagine how riveting it must have been for
the Prime Minister of Italy to hear about the Houston cougars.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
The cougars are coming. The cougars are coming. Cougars are coming.
That's right. Hold the line. You got to hold the
line because the cougars are coming.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Well, a player that we've heard of is now into
a transfer portal, a receiver you know, the name Tyler Lockett.
Tyler Lockett has announced he's got a new team. Longtime
Seattle Seahawk Tyler Lockett has revealed he is taking his
talents to the tenant Sea Titans. He was fired by
(29:37):
the Seattle Seahawks very rude. So the Tennessee Titans have
added Tyler Lockett gets a contract.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Worth up to four million dollars, so.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He's buying dinner, he's buying lunch and all that pretty
good for a washed up wide receiver. But he has
revealed that he's heading to the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So it's it's.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Worth four men, but up to actually six mini ten
years in Seattle, and he's second all time behind Steve
Largin in that franchise's history. And so he is now
going to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And you you.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Look around in Tennessee Titans, they are on the clock.
The draft is tonight Tennessee with that number one overall pick.
They don't have a quarterback, they don't have much on
the offensive line, and they don't have much at receiver.
They got rid of DeAndre Hopkins last year. He was
getting on the long and the two side, and they
(30:40):
need an edge rusher. So they need help. They need
a lot of help, a lot of help there. And
we'll see what happens that the Titans with the top
pick in the draft tonight. Let's go back to the
phones and we'll say hello to uh Poppy.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh my god, Poppy, I thought he I thought he retired.
Is that really? This be a fake Poppy?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
In San Diego? This guy didn't call my show. He
calls those weekend shows. Is this poppy in San Diego?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (31:07):
What an honor it is to send before you to
night is a pod reception of the procedures worst Caller
of the Year award.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Mutt, I'd be recognized for my ability completely you know,
see now it's perfectly a good conversation on my radio.
You know, winning back to back to.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Back to back of anything is an easy just as.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Patrick Mahons and Andy Reid, you know, I just have
to you know, you know, think my mentor Ben Mallord,
you know, thanks sure, you know, inspire me for being
the worst collar on the show for three years. And
to all my fellow competitors, your call were equally as
painful or awkward, you know, And I said, every one
(31:52):
of you for your dedication of the art of this
bad radio you.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Know, keep me signing, mis pronouncing, miscommunicating, and you know,
and so we meet again. Extra lastly, to the show's producers,
I just want to thank you for recognizing the unique skill.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
They take to be the worst. It's not easy being
this consistently trouble, but someone have to do it right.
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, all right, hang up on him. That was actually
decent by Poppy. By Poppy standards, that is the worst
call that we have, but that by his standards, he
sees the opportunity like, that's the best case scenario for
a Poppy phone call.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That was actually good. I mean he was he was
still full hot air.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
However, you know, compared to the other stuff that we
had to deal with with Poppy, that was a masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Is he losing his way? Is he no longer going
to be the worst caller of the year?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Say it ain't, so, say it ain't. So we'll get
to the install trivia, and we have Mallard of the
third degree. Mallard of the third degree. That'll be coming

the first two games for Edmonton. That is tied for
the second most allowed by any NHL goalie in games

Speaker 4 (37:26):
They actually came back and won that series.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
This is one big Ben gets grilled Google.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
So the Rams won't say much about whether they are
looking to draft a quarterback, but we do know that
things are year to year with Matthew Stafford, who isn't
exactly a spring chicken. Now, Ben, do you think the
Rams wait until next offseason to address.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Their long term future at quarterback? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
So the Rams are in the try to win now
period still, so they need help on the offensive line,
they need help in the secondary.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
They'd like to add a tight.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
End, so they could draft somebody in the middle rounds,
but it's not a priority. And McVeigh is so cocky
and confident that when Stafford leaves, he thinks he can
turn anyone into a serviceable quarterback in the NFL. So
it is not something I would expect the Rams to
draft high.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
We'll see. I mean, I don't think any of these
guys are all that great in the draft. Next, that's
a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
As we mentioned on the show yesterday, Celtics card Peyton
Pritchard won sixth Man of the Year, but Calves owner
Dan Gilbert insists that it should have been his guy,
Tied Jerome, saying, anybody who watched Calves basketball this season
knows Ti Jerome is the sixth man of the Year.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Ben was Jerome overlooked? So let me get straight. The
owner of the Caves, Dan Gilbert, did he write a letter?
Did he do it in a letter? No?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Listen, Ty, every time I watched the Calves, Ty Jerome
playing great. He's making moneyballs, he's making big shots, he
looks wonderful. The problem is that Peyton pritchard he was
just better and the Celtics were you know, they didn't
have a better record than the Cavs and all that
in the regular season, but Peyton Pritcherd's impact was greater
than Ti Jerome. And Ti Jerome plays in Cleveland, So yeah,
(39:10):
you're overlooked when you're play in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
That's kind of how that works. You know, Ti Jerome's
played for four different NBA teams. I didn't. I'd never
even heard of the guy. Yeah, this was the first
I had heard of him.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
All right, next, basketball fans do not want to see
another thunder Grizzlies matchup. There were calls for a mercy
rule in the series all over social media, Tuesday evening. Ben,
do you think Memphis has any chance of winning a
game at home or will this be a suite for Okase?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Well, they have a chance because you have a bad
shooting night Shade Yogis, Alexander hasn't played well.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
The officials.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I mean, there's a shot that you get at least
one win, but they're just not competitive. They don't have
that fighting spirit in Memphis. So based on the way
that they just kind of go through the motions, I'd
say no, but yeah, they you can steal a game
with some help. How did we do you pass?
Speaker 2 (39:56):
This edition?
Speaker 4 (39:56):
There is on
Speaker 5 (40:00):
You are
Here we all it's our numb b two, our two
happy Thursday as we swing the balance here in our
number two.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Is there a deeper.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Meaning to Celtics coach Joe Missoula saying he's happy that
Chris stops Porzingi's played.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Covered in blood?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, what intrigues you the most about that Porzingis moment
against Orlando as the Celtic player very dramatically walked out
with blood everywhere?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
And we'll talk some baseball.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do you have any empathy for ken Lee Jansen and
the Angels public complaints over their travel.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Schedule, the boo hoo hoo. They're not happy. It's unfair,
it's unfair. We'll talk about all it's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
We'll talk about all of that and more and try
to rock the boat. Here it is our number two
saying is you're bleeding green, but it turns out you're
actually bleeding red. Well, come in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Maler Show. We are in the
air everywhere, crawling as we stay in the game.

Buying Show be so our lead this hour, Our lead,
this hour is from Boston. We peak around the playoff
(02:21):
card Eastern Conference, Eastern Conference out of the bracket, the
Boston basketball team playing without Jason Tatum. Oh my aching
wrist out by that. Yeah, he came down hard on
the wrist there and said he.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Was perfectly fine. Everything was good.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yet he did not play in Game two versus Orlando,
and this was one of the first games of the
night there. I don't know if you saw this or not
if you were checking it out, maybe you were objecting
to the game and watching something else you said, enough
is enough, But we watched, so you would not have
to Jalen Brown, who is being paid as a number
one type player, Well, Jaylen Brown went out and played
(02:58):
number He had thirty six points, ten rebounds, five assists.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And the story here was not so much Jalen Brown.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It was Chris tops Porzingis, who dramatically returned to the
game after getting bloody, a big, bloody gash right on
his forehead, right in the middle of his forehead. Had
twenty points, and the Celtics beat the Magic, and so
Boston up two to OHO in the series. And they
(03:27):
win a game without Tatum, who has a.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Bone bruise, a contrusion.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He's got a bone bruise in his right wrist, and
he missed a playoff.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Game for the first time in his career, so he
was out.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
But Boston up two oh and they are in good
shape here, led by his many's fifteen in the second half.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They did hold off a mild push by the team
from Mickey Town in Florida.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
There the Celtics had twelve three pointers, which is not
that many for them. They were twenty five of thirty
three from the charity right. Game three is Friday in
Central Florida. The bigger story here, though, is the subplot,
and that is the moment that we will remember, not
(04:12):
long term, but we'll remember it for the short term.
Celtics center Christops Porzingis went to the locker room with
a massive gash right there on his forehead, blood in
the air everywhere.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And I came back out.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
They slapped a bandage on his forehead and he shot
a pair of foul shots.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
He took a full elbow from.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
A guy I've never heard of on the Orlando Magic
is it Goga Bitadza. That's a mouthful anyway, for me,
not for him. And that that was in the third quarter. Now,
during the review, there was a lengthy review as they
wanted to watch every possible angle and high death of
the elbow from Bodza Bitadze rather as it hit Porzigis.
(05:01):
So during the review, Chris Stops dramatically emerged from the
locker room.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The crowd went wild. The crowd went wild.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He had blood down the back of his head, he
was completely disheveled and.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
At bandage right there in the four.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
As we mentioned, he re entered the game, connected one
of two foul shots, and then left the game again,
and that led to the great SoundBite of the night.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Joel Missoula Joe Missoula as.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Only he can do commenting on Chris stops Porzingis and
I think we have the audio on list listen to
Joe as he works himself up into a crescendo.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Let's go to the audio tape.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I like his overall just approach. I think he has
an ability and innate ability to take things very serious
and at the same time, you know, have great perspective
and then you know, you see how he I think
he can control his environment really well, with how he
handles the crowd and how he handles the physicality of it,
and he can maintain his kind of his poise, and
he just has a great way about him. And I
(06:02):
think that that that helps us. And like, yeah, I
do I love watching him. I like watching him lead
on the court. I think it's important and then he
you know, he comes back in and does his job.
So I do like that.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
About Yeah, all right, I like that about it. Let's
we play that this this highlight that last part listen.
Listen again. This is the this is the money part
of it. Listen closely.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
I like watching them lead on the court.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
I think it's important. Yeah, there you go. I like
watching them bleed on the court. I think it's important.
All right, So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Is there a deeper meaning to the Celtic coach Joe Mizzoula.
Let him play Joe Joe Mizoula being happy that Chris
stops porzingis played covered in blood. So my observations, I've
got Kleenex, milkman, and Paris baguette, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are going to
(06:55):
spike the punch bowl, is what we're gonna do. We're
gonna spike the punch bowl, all right, So no, can
I get a numb burn.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
To answer the question is there a deeper meaning of this?
I am nodding my head. Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yeah, yeah,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Yes, I'm gone. I'letna get busy if I keep doing this.
Aside from Joe Mizoula continuing to be the quirky quote
machine of the NBA. Now, I am not, as you know,
a psychologist.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I am just a.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Mere peon in the radio world, the overnight gas bag. However,
I can't play a shrink on the radio. And here's
my diagnosi. Joe Mazoo was confessing. That was a confessional
that he is concerned. The coach of the Celtics is
worried that the reigning NBA champions are soft, and there
(07:51):
was meeting in that.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Coach Joe does not want to coach a team of flowers.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He doesn't want the pussy willow flower team out there.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
He doesn't.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now, to rephrase this for those of you a little
slow in the back of the room, Joe Mizoula is
worried about the Kleenex. He wants to avoid a tissue
paper team and instead he wants that thick scar tissue
is what he would like and it's unbecoming.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
If you're not like that.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
You might remember when when Jason Tatum got hurt in
Game one, Missoula ran out there and chased the trainer away.
Do you remember that he pushed the trainer away for
the Celtics, the medical staff away because he's trying to
toughen up Tatum. Turned out, Tatum missed the game, but
porzingis he's out there. There's blood on the floor, there's
(08:40):
blood everywhere, and Mozilla's his quote is, hey, he was happy.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He liked watching him bleed out on the court right there.
He enjoyed it. He enjoyed it. And so there we are.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
And it's pretty wild though, considering that porzingis his reputation,
one of the reasons he kept moving around from the
Knickerbockers to the Mavericks and all these other teams. He's
played for Washington. His reputation is fragile, fradgile. He's your
prototypical modern NBA ballplayer who misses a ton of games.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
He's always hurt. He was hurt last year.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
When the Celtics went on their run and they would
win the championship. He got hurt in that run, all
right now, Page two. So what intrigues you the most
about this individual? Christops berzingis moment for the Celtics. So
for me, it's the obvious cinematic nature of the event,
all right, the cinematic nature. If this had been during
(09:37):
an NBA Finals game, it would have been on par
on par with Paul Pierce, who needed a wheelchair because
he soiled his pants. He had poopy in the pantsy
and he had to get a wheelchair because he didn't
want people to see the streak down the.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Back of his pants. Now, Chris stops on this one.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Was the milkman now, not Milkman My in Colorado, although
Milkbad Mike in Colorado was.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
In Boston recently.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
No, no, no, he was a different milkman because Porzingis
was playing to the crowd. He was smiling from ear
to ear. He was milking the malman, just enjoying the
hell out of it. As the crowd chanted his name.
Porzingis looked like he was in some kind of a fight,
like a Rocky Balboa old school boxing movie. Bloodied, battered, bruised,
(10:26):
and completely beaten.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
But he came back into the game.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
And was he actually growing a unicorn or did somebody
take the unicorn off of his forehead? Now, as for
Jason Tatum, that particular injury is at a big deal,
a little deal, or no deal. So I have it
as a no deal. I don't think it's a big deal,
even though he missed the game. I believe the reason
he missed the game is because the Celtics don't consider
(10:52):
the magic a.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Threat and they were right.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
They went out there without without Tatum and without Porzingis
for a stretch, and they still beat Orlando. So out
of an abundance of caution, remember that back in twenty
twenty shut the whole world down. I have an abundance
of caution. But out of an abundance of caution, they
rested Tatum. Had this been a tougher opponent, a worthy opponent,
(11:18):
we believe on this side of the microphones, that he
would have played. He would have played all right.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Final point.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Now, I was gonna talk about the calves and the heat,
and I attempted to find a talking point I did.
I don't want to shortchange the people of Cleveland. I
don't want to do that. I could not find a
talking point. I could not find a talking point. There's
nothing there. I know that Miami was within a couple
of points late in the fourth quarter, but there was
(11:46):
just nothing that really stood out, and so we moved
to the diamond. Baseball barbarism. A major league baseball team
complaining complaining about work conditions. Is it a baseball team
that plays in a minor league ballpark the Tampa Bay Rays. No,
Is it a baseball team that plays in a minor
(12:06):
league ballpark. The Sacramento Athletics, no, the team that wears
the halo, but making it seem like they're playing in
baseball hell. Now, to set this up, Bajor League baseball
teams normally play an afternoon game on a getaway day
before or they go to or leave the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That's typically how it's done.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
You fly to or from the West Coast, you play
a day because you got to sit on the plane
for a few hours, God forbid. And especially if there's
no often you don't have a day off between games.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You play the early game and then you go out
and you play. You play the following day at night.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
The Angels our schedule here on this Thursday to play
the Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Pirates the Buckos. There's only one person I know that
cares about that game. That's serious, Sean. So the Pirates
and the Angels are gonna play in Anaheim. And then
the Angels will.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Take a chartered bus. They will have an escort. They
will go to the airport. They will go to a
special part of the airport not to be touched by
the unwashed. They will then board a chartered flight. They
will then fly to Minnesota. They will then get off
the plane to a private bus with an escort, and
(13:26):
they will then go to a hotel where they will
check in at a five star hotel and then play
a bunch of road games in Minnesota starting the following night.
And the Angels are spitting mad about this. Among the players,
you have closer Kenley Jansen, which is still very odd
that guy blew some big games with the Dodgers. Kenley
(13:48):
Jansen and outfielder Taylor Ward have called the travel schedule,
among other things, quote not healthy, quot quote end quote unfair.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
They're arguing it creates a competitive disadvantage.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Ken Lee Jansen in particular, sounded like someone might die.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Because of this.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Do you have empathy for ken Lee Jansen and the
Angels and their public complaints about their travel schedule?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
So I will be the judge, jury and executioner on
this one, and motion denied. Motion denied.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Now the Angels, I don't know if they have any
sponsors left because who I've watched day of those games,
but the Angels should be sponsored by Paris Baguette, because
that is a team filled with cream puffs. That is
a cream puff team complaining about the schedule.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I thought everyone learned this.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
I thought one of the lessons of sport, one of
the lessons that we learn in sport is complaining about
the schedule does not change the schedule, and that the
teams that are good, the teams that win, the teams
that celebrate victories on a regular basis, they focus their
energy on adapting and using that as a badge of honor,
(15:05):
a badge of honor, preparing overcoming that. That is an obstacle.
That is machismo, that is masculinity. You've overcome an obstacle.
Not the modern athlete, not the angels. No, no, no,
oh it's hard.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
It's so difficult. Ash shut up, so stupid, it is
so dumb.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Rather than say, Okay, we're gonna use this as an
exciting thing to build some mental toughness, and we're gonna
show what kind of tough team you are. You acknowledge it,
and then you rise above it. The angels, Oh no,
it's not healthy, it's unfair.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
We gotta go on a chartered plane. A charted You're
not sitting on Southwest Group B. You're on a chartered plane.
You're not flying Spirit Airlines. Where if you breathe and
spit a loogie, they charge you for it. Then you
get on your luxury chartered bus, you go to your
five star hotel with eight gazillion thread count sheets. You
(16:05):
talk about hardship, you talk about overcoming, overcoming adverse. It's
like it's like skid Row amazing courage in sports. The
Angels courage in sports so embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
He's so stupid. Oh my god, I saw you gotta
be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And the other part of it is they're actually complaining
about ownership because the team decides the time of the game,
the home team decides, there are rules, there are rules,
But really what the Angel's entire team is doing is
complaining about Artie Marino. Look but yet, see they want
to be paid as much moneys they don't get as
far as I know. And so the Angels, they know
(16:50):
if they played the Pirates at one o'clock on a
Thursday afternoon in April, there would have been seven and
a half people there. Seven and one really short person
would have been there. Okay, seven and a half people
would have been a game. They played the game at night,
they got fifteen people, so they double the attendance at night,
so that's.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Why they did that.
Speaker 1 (17:11):

Speaker 1 (21:23):
Pro bouncy ball bleeding Celtic, not a bleeding hard a
bleeding forehead Celtic as the blood gushing and perzingis would
not be a good boxer. He is like a tomato can,
like a tomato can. Did the Orlando guy have a
razor blade? Did he have a razor blade on his elbow?
(21:45):
Because that's a lot of blood, Like that's a geyser

didn't hear no bells. I heard Nobel's what else a
late night drug test. This is the only conditions the
(22:21):
Angels players should be complaining about is the extremely high
expectations from Fergdog.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Ferg Dog says, I've.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Always wanted more Anaheim Angels talk on the show, but
not if you're going to make fun of them. Now,
I'm going to strike, just kidding. Striking is for losers,
Ferg Doog says, and his grounds for immediate removal from
the Malord militia. Okay, so he says that we should
(22:50):
kick out, we should kick out, say blind Scott and
super Market Steve, And it is under consideration we might
have to call a war tribunal to decide. I'll have
to get Alfie Alleno, Piner, Chip in the Cues Legends
and put them together and Justin and Cincinnati Robbie the
Mariner fan to decide what we're gonna do. Manuell and Guardina,
(23:11):

Speaker 2 (23:14):

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Chip in the Cues who's got a bad knee, says
a plus on the mall monologue. I think Joe Mozilla
may need to get himself some serious therapy for his
obvious Dracula obsession.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
What a ghoul this guy is? What a ghoul? He says.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Trucker Joe writes and says, sliding through Saint Louis right now,
I could wish I could get some barbecue at this
time of night, but nothing. Breakfast tacos from Dallas this morning.
Tell me the corn egg cheese, potatoes on corn tortilla,
so you don't need to brag about it. So Saint
(23:55):
Louis does not have a twenty four hour barbecue place.
It's a nice little photo you took from your truck
of the great arch. You ever been to Saint Louis Lorain?
You ever been to Saint Louis.
Speaker 2 (24:04):

hour fun fact. They began this series. Both franchises were
born in nineteen ninety eight. Both franchises have exactly at
the start of that series, they had twenty one hundred victories.
(25:10):
How about that both, It's like twib notes this week
in baseball exactly. Even Arizona does have that shiny championship
trophy from beating the Yankees in the World Series, Tampa
Bay they have none of that.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
They lost a couple times in the World Series, including
to the Doyers.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Back in the day, Architection calls it is yes, I

so bad?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
It was discussed in the West Wing, the Rockets owner
revealing rather casually that he was talking to the president.
The Rockets owner Tillman for Tita says he was talking
to the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and
they discussed the Luca trade at the Oval Office. At
(28:31):
the Oval Office, the Rockets owner revealed that he talked
about the trade, the dumb ass trade.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
In the Oval Office.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Says he was in the White House in the Oval
Office there with the Prime Minister of Italy and President Trump.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
This was last last week.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
They talked about the Houston cougars for a little bit
and then they talked about the dumbass Luca trade. There
you go, imagine how riveting it must have been for
the Prime Minister of Italy to hear about the Houston cougars.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
The cougars are coming. The cougars are coming. Cougars are coming.
That's right. Hold the line. You got to hold the
line because the cougars are coming.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Well, a player that we've heard of is now into
a transfer portal, a receiver you know, the name Tyler Lockett.
Tyler Lockett has announced he's got a new team. Longtime
Seattle Seahawk Tyler Lockett has revealed he is taking his
talents to the tenant Sea Titans. He was fired by
(29:37):
the Seattle Seahawks very rude. So the Tennessee Titans have
added Tyler Lockett gets a contract.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Worth up to four million dollars, so.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He's buying dinner, he's buying lunch and all that pretty
good for a washed up wide receiver. But he has
revealed that he's heading to the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
So it's it's.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Worth four men, but up to actually six mini ten
years in Seattle, and he's second all time behind Steve
Largin in that franchise's history. And so he is now
going to Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
And you you.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
Look around in Tennessee Titans, they are on the clock.
The draft is tonight Tennessee with that number one overall pick.
They don't have a quarterback, they don't have much on
the offensive line, and they don't have much at receiver.
They got rid of DeAndre Hopkins last year. He was
getting on the long and the two side, and they
(30:40):
need an edge rusher. So they need help. They need
a lot of help, a lot of help there. And
we'll see what happens that the Titans with the top
pick in the draft tonight. Let's go back to the
phones and we'll say hello to uh Poppy.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Oh my god, Poppy, I thought he I thought he retired.
Is that really? This be a fake Poppy?
Speaker 1 (31:00):
In San Diego? This guy didn't call my show. He
calls those weekend shows. Is this poppy in San Diego?
Speaker 6 (31:07):
Wow?
Speaker 7 (31:07):
What an honor it is to send before you to
night is a pod reception of the procedures worst Caller
of the Year award.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Mutt, I'd be recognized for my ability completely you know,
see now it's perfectly a good conversation on my radio.
You know, winning back to back to.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Back to back of anything is an easy just as.
Speaker 6 (31:30):
Patrick Mahons and Andy Reid, you know, I just have
to you know, you know, think my mentor Ben Mallord,
you know, thanks sure, you know, inspire me for being
the worst collar on the show for three years. And
to all my fellow competitors, your call were equally as
painful or awkward, you know, And I said, every one
(31:52):
of you for your dedication of the art of this
bad radio you.
Speaker 7 (31:56):
Know, keep me signing, mis pronouncing, miscommunicating, and you know,
and so we meet again. Extra lastly, to the show's producers,
I just want to thank you for recognizing the unique skill.
Speaker 6 (32:08):
They take to be the worst. It's not easy being
this consistently trouble, but someone have to do it right.
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay, all right, hang up on him. That was actually
decent by Poppy. By Poppy standards, that is the worst
call that we have, but that by his standards, he
sees the opportunity like, that's the best case scenario for
a Poppy phone call.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
That was actually good. I mean he was he was
still full hot air.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
However, you know, compared to the other stuff that we
had to deal with with Poppy, that was a masterpiece.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Is he losing his way? Is he no longer going
to be the worst caller of the year?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Say it ain't, so, say it ain't. So we'll get
to the install trivia, and we have Mallard of the
third degree. Mallard of the third degree. That'll be coming
up here momentarily. But first now we have oh yeah,
it's that time. Time for the instant trivia. We go
to hockey. That's right, don't tell Eddie, we go to hockey.

Stewart Skinner allowed eleven goals in the first two games
for the Oilers against the Kings, tied for the second
most allowed by a goalie in games one and two
of a playoff series in.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
The last thirty years.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Blank is the only goalie to allow more in the
past three decades, in the first two games of a
playoff series again, Stuart Skinner has allowed eleven goals in
the first two games for Edmonton. That is tied for
the second most allowed by any NHL goalie in games
one and two of a series in the last thirty years.

one and two of a playoff series in the last
(35:47):
thirty seasons. Holy crap, Blank is the only goalie to
allow more than that in the first two games over
the past three decades.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
And that is the question. What is the answer?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Let's see does anyone know the answer? And Ron Hextall
blind bowler Ron Hextall from Stevie Meatball's Lucifer morning Star
from Scrooge in the Bay Area, Garth Alger from I
forty Ian, that's his answer, Dave Killer Carlson from Donkey Sausage,
(36:22):
A lot of mentions of people from movies.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Alf went with a North.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Stars goalie I've never heard of, Kurt Engel from Shane
in Des Moines, Page Down, Gump Worsley from Andy in
Lino Lakes, Minnesota, Joe Carey, Who's thirty three today?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
From Late Night Drug Tester.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Charlestown goalie, Dennis Lemieux from Milkman, Mike and Colorado.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
The Hanson Brothers guest by William.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Ben Died Died, Diarrhia Bishop from Miguel on Fire Chester,
Cheeto from Far Out, Dave Marc Andre Fleury by Jason.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Don Bouprey from Rob in Minnesota, Tom Google Otogus by
Sean and Portland Rogie Vashan from Nature Boy, All right,
what say you?
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Lorraine the Duck Scully from the nineties Guy Herbert.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Gee Gee Bear, Oh boy, he screwed up both his days.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
Uh no, it said Jonathan Jonathan quick Of.
Speaker 4 (37:26):
They actually came back and won that series.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here
we go, Here we go.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
This is one big Ben gets grilled Google.
Speaker 5 (37:43):
So the Rams won't say much about whether they are
looking to draft a quarterback, but we do know that
things are year to year with Matthew Stafford, who isn't
exactly a spring chicken. Now, Ben, do you think the
Rams wait until next offseason to address.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Their long term future at quarterback? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
So the Rams are in the try to win now
period still, so they need help on the offensive line,
they need help in the secondary.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
They'd like to add a tight.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
End, so they could draft somebody in the middle rounds,
but it's not a priority. And McVeigh is so cocky
and confident that when Stafford leaves, he thinks he can
turn anyone into a serviceable quarterback in the NFL. So
it is not something I would expect the Rams to
draft high.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
We'll see. I mean, I don't think any of these
guys are all that great in the draft. Next, that's
a quarterback.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
As we mentioned on the show yesterday, Celtics card Peyton
Pritchard won sixth Man of the Year, but Calves owner
Dan Gilbert insists that it should have been his guy,
Tied Jerome, saying, anybody who watched Calves basketball this season
knows Ti Jerome is the sixth man of the Year.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Ben was Jerome overlooked? So let me get straight. The
owner of the Caves, Dan Gilbert, did he write a letter?
Did he do it in a letter? No?
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Listen, Ty, every time I watched the Calves, Ty Jerome
playing great. He's making moneyballs, he's making big shots, he
looks wonderful. The problem is that Peyton pritchard he was
just better and the Celtics were you know, they didn't
have a better record than the Cavs and all that
in the regular season, but Peyton Pritcherd's impact was greater
than Ti Jerome. And Ti Jerome plays in Cleveland, So yeah,
(39:10):
you're overlooked when you're play in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
That's kind of how that works. You know, Ti Jerome's
played for four different NBA teams. I didn't. I'd never
even heard of the guy. Yeah, this was the first
I had heard of him.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
All right, next, basketball fans do not want to see
another thunder Grizzlies matchup. There were calls for a mercy
rule in the series all over social media, Tuesday evening. Ben,
do you think Memphis has any chance of winning a
game at home or will this be a suite for Okase?
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Well, they have a chance because you have a bad
shooting night Shade Yogis, Alexander hasn't played well.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
The officials.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
I mean, there's a shot that you get at least
one win, but they're just not competitive. They don't have
that fighting spirit in Memphis. So based on the way
that they just kind of go through the motions, I'd
say no, but yeah, they you can steal a game
with some help. How did we do you pass?
