Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding dong.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number to our number two, and we are
all right with you here in our number two talking
some more pro bouncy ball. The Pistons, in a game
that was tied at ninety three late fourth quarter final
five minutes, played better down the stretch.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
They get the win.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So who gets the biggest helping of the blame Buckeyes
for the boys from the Buckeye State there, James Harden
and the Cavaliers. Also, what did cavstar Spider Mitchell accomplished
by calling out the Pistons for flopping and yelling about
the officials.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We'll discuss that in never never Land.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And you are Michigan College hoops coach Dusty May's career
counselor you make the call should he go to the
Golden State Warriors or the Orlando Magic for a nice
chunk of change wherever he ends up. We'll talk about
all that and more. It's like a night on the town,
but it just our number two.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Doing it. The Harden away.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Huh what Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We are in the.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Air a reware as we burn the clock, burn, baby burn,
and we know that freshness of the hot take is
our tradition.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Coast to coast, border the border.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And beyond on the vast and here catchingly powerful microphones
of FSR am moundating. We'll do it live from the Burden,
the Burden of proof gear wanteed human from the world
famous Fox Sports radio studios.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That is where we hang out side by side.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And I got a message from our friend Ruth in
La and she said, hey, can you tell me about tires?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Said, you know what, I'll do that? Why not?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
For over forty years, tire i Rak has been helping
customers like the Nature Boy find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection, which Manuel and Guardina loves
so much, with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
tire iraq dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So then I got this weird email from I think
it was Derek the Bill's Monster, it might have been
from Helmetman and they mentioned wee Bowl and I said,

Speaker 1 (03:13):
So our lead this hour.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We continue our in depth team coverage all night from
pro Bouncy Ball. We go to Motown. We head out
to Motown. Why not taps, bleep.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And lootly we go there.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was two for one special the early game. The
undercard had a game in Detroit. There if you didn't watch,
perhaps not. Kate Cuttingham had the most points, so he
gets the lead on the hero of the game as Caid.
Cuttingham scored twenty three points on some terrible shooting. Former
Clipper Tobias Harris added twenty and the Pistons swarmed the
(03:55):
Cavaliers late to upset Strip Club John one eleven to
one oh one. On Tuesday night, in Game number one,
uh the second run, Duncan Robinson got into a little
hissy with James Harden. He had nineteen points for the
Pistons as well, who ended a NBA record tying twelve
(04:20):
game postseason skid, aoo better known as a losing streak
against a single opponent, a drought that had dated way
back to seven. I was a child in O seven
in the Eastern Conference Finals. So Game two is Thursday night,
Thursday night there in Detroit basketball. So the better story
(04:43):
is always in the losing locker room and Cleveland getting scrutinized, dramatized, chastised, analyzed, stigmatized, sensationalized,
and of course criticized. Let's say cred homage to Don King,
an old school boxing promoter. You don't even know who
that is. You have to be really old to know
(05:03):
who Don King is, because Don King's like really really
really really really old.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
That was one of his great lines, and it was
even longer than that. So it's a good jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Let us discuss the question who gets the biggest helping
of blame buck guys for James Harden's Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So I've got Serena Williams, soft Launch and radio shack,
and we are gonna combine all of these things together,
and we are going to bet on the wrong horse,
is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We're gonna bet on the wrong horse. So number what
number one?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Number one?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Number one, number one and fun number one. So Donovan Mitchell,
Evan Mobley and James Harden, the three amigos, they get
big heaping portions of the blame buck guys for the Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Here, the Cavs didn't just lose the game.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It was like the holiday season and when you buy something,
would you like that gift wrapped?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay? Sure, can I get that gift wrap? Okay?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, because it's a holidays, We're not gonna even charge
you anymore. We're just gonna gif wrap this thing like
it is the holidays, and it's a holiday that you
don't even celebrate. Congratulations, and you don't need to be
Serena Williams to recognize the story here. Unforced errors, unforced
errors Okay, as they say in the Tennis World, twenty turnovers,
(06:32):
that's not offense. That is the salvation army. Okay, thirty
one free points to Detroit thirty one points off twenty giveaways.
Cleveland had sixteen. So my computer like brain using malarmath
tells me that that is a plus fifteen for the
(06:54):
home team, the Pistons. The game finished a ten point spread,
so you can your math and figure it out yourself.
It's a rather easy waltz. And that's game set and matchdown.
Even with that, the game was tied up at ninety
three with five twenty eight to go in the game,
so you did not need to watch.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The first forty two minutes of the game.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The last five to twenty eight of the game, Cleveland
played like a team seeing a basketball for the first
time ever, Like.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What is this round object? I don't where did that
come from?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Is that from somewhere outside the Milky Way galaxy?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I doub't know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
So Detroit they did. It wasn't their their name brand
players that played well in the final five to twenty eight.
It was some off brand players. The Sharks at feeding time,
they shot sixty three percent over the last five to
twenty eight of the game. The Cavs at thirty percent.
And they also had a prayer that was not answered.
And yes, you know how I do it here Supermarket
(07:58):
Steve Playoff Harden. The Playoff Harden experience showed up clunky,
sloppy seven turnovers, the turnover to assist ratio a one
for one proposition.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
The bottom line here, though, Cleveland did.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Not get beat They hit the self destruct button and
that's what happened. They just tuckered out in the final
five to twenty eight of the game, although they were
behind most of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Most of the game.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Now, James Harden has been the one common denominator. He's
changed teams and bounced around the NBA, and he has
consistently ridden the vomit comet in playoff games. He'll get
one or two really good performances and then the rest
of the time there'll be a couple where he's just
kind of there, he's just taking up space, and then
there'll be several where he rex havoc and literally is
(08:52):
like the sixth man, right, He's like the sixth man
of the other team.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Anyway, here's James Harden who was asked about.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I guess you'll hear the question on this and the
answer hardened about all the mistakes, a lot of mistakes
for James Harden in these playoff games and the Cabs
in general.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Here's hard take your list.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Do you think these turnovers are something that are correctable?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (09:21):
What do you like?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What do you think some of them are?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
You know, like non just said, you know, you look
at you look within first, and you look at my
turnovers and a lot of them are just on me
and nothing they did so and you know which led
to to you know, I don't even know how many
transition points they have, and it was way too many.
And I mean, if I had to put my my
print on one thing on the game, that's the game
(09:45):
right there. I mean, how many points a transitions that's
the game like it's nothing else, Like we talked about
last years, you get a shot on glass even half
of that, and it's a different ball game. So you know,
for me, I gotta be better and I will be
better turning the basketball over, you know, from turning the
bassball over again, shots up and then it gives our
(10:08):
defense a chance to get back, and said, you know,
I think we did it. Other than that, we played
a pretty solid game.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That SoundBite could have been from twenty sixteen. It could
have been from you know.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
To go back.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
As long as you want to go back twenty twelve,
you can keep going back. He didn't mention the Cavs.
I don't believe he didn't mention the Pistons. That was
an evergreen SoundBite for the most part, and that's who
James Harden is. I heard it when he played for
the people's team, the Clippers, and he'd play a bad game.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And he'd comment about how we know what we need.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
To do and Okay, good, go out and do it. Nope,
not gonna do it, Not gonna happen. It is literally
baked into James Harden to suck in playoff games, Like,
I don't know how you get that out of James
harden Is. It's when he sweats, the suck comes out
in the playoff.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's wild.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now, moving on pitch two, So cavstar Donovan Mitchell went
on a bit of a rant postgame. He was asked
by reporters about the foul shot disparity, the free throw disparity,
not only in this series a game one, of course,
this series, but the entire postseason, and Mitchell went on
(11:21):
a bit of a rant. He said, I want to
separate this from the game, he said, and then he
dove into the game, which was thirty five sixteen advantage
for Detroit in the disparity from the foul line, and
he said, here's the key part, he says, not why
we lost tonight, Spider Mitchell says, I want to make
sure I say that.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But but he says, I don't know. I'm trying to
get downhill.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
A friend of mine got fine for talking about flopping.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I guess he's talking about Jayalen Brown.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
So a quote continues, I'm not gonna try to double down,
but I mean, I feel like that's what I gotta do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
At this point, he said, you know what I mean, right, Okay,
I keep going. He says, like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Trying to get downhill, trying to get to the bucket.
Sometimes there's people on the way and I'm trying to
fight through contact and I'm not getting these calls Clodes quote.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Question, So what did the Cavaliers Star Spider Mitchell accomplished
by calling out the referees and the seemingly the pistons flopping.
He didn't say pistons, but certainly implied there was some
flopping that went on. So Donovan Mitchell did not just
(12:40):
call out indirectly the pistons and obviously the referees. He
basically filed a lobbying brief with NBA headquarters in Manhattan,
and he did it on live TV. He hit the
classic Superstar two step, I am not blaming the referees.
But but but but but but but but but but.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, okay, so hey, it was musical.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm like Ohio Awler, Dick and Dayton or Jay Scoop
and just Josh. He said, but let me tell you
why we lost everything before the word but is a lie.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Every man woman knows that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Sometimes children know that too, but mostly men and women
know that. Now Spider says he's not pointing fingers, and
then spent about two minutes pointing every finger and some
thumbs that he had. It's the NBA's version of no offense.
But yeah, okay, so this wasn't a comment. It was
(13:41):
a soft launch. Political campaign happens all the time all
the time. It is expected that coaches and players will lobby,
and obviously Spider Mitchell wants to separate it from the game,
the same way I want to separate dessert from dinner.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I still eat both. I still have both when I eat.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And he used the refs as the fall guy and
sent up smoke signals begging for make good whistles is
what he Mitchell said that he's trying to get downhill,
but he went downhill straight into the complaint. Department in
the basement there. He went down to the complaint department,
and he didn't plant a seed. He planted an orchard
(14:23):
of referee guilt. Zebra guilt is what he did. All
of it aimed one message, Hey, Adam Silver, half man, half.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Alien, we'd like some freebies in game five. Yeah, I
did mean.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There's a lot of chatter there's gonna be some kind
of big UFO revelation coming out here in the coming
weeks and stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Wouldn't it be great if.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
They announced that there have been extraterrestrials living with us
and one of them runs the NBA.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Wouldn't that be awesome?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And Sam Cassell when he played years ago, also also
from somewhere else out in the cosmos, and that these.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Their hybrid human alien type people. Wouldn't that be awesome?
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Final point, This is a crossover story college basketball and
the NBA. So things are getting dusty. They're getting dusty
around here. Yeah, I'm talking about Dusty May the coach.
He's a Michigan Man, the Champions of Collegiate Basketball. Well,
Dusty Mate doesn't sound like he's gonna be a Michigan
(15:25):
Man much longer. Apparently, he's got a knock on the door.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You can hear it right there. Look at that. Do
I have not the greatest sound effects on all of
talk radio?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Look at that you're knocking, and the knock is the
NBA and they're saying, hey, Dusty, how would you like
to coach in the NBA? Now he just led Michigan
to a national championship. The speculation machine and the Naked
City's never wrong. The speculation machine says, the Orlando Magic
(15:53):
and the Golden State Warriors are said to be interested
in Dusty May in the month of May. Now, I
don't think Steve Kurrz officially been terminated or left the
Warriors yet, although Dusty May has no NBA coaching.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Experience, and may d'd agree.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You might remember he agreed to a contract extension, but
you know what that means. He hasn't signed it yet,
So until it's signed, it doesn't matter. And even if
he signs it, this language offset language and things like
that to get out of it. So the question you are,
now Michigan hoops coach Dusty May's career counselor should he
(16:34):
go to the Warriors or the Magic or stay at Michigan.
So if he's jumping, it's not even a choice. It's
Orlando or stay at Michigan or just retired. Dusty May
was able to catch lightning in an NIL sponsored bottle
at Michigan. He bought the right players. That's how you
(16:57):
play big time college football and basketball. Indiana, the right players,
they won the championship. Michigan bought the right players. They
won the championship. You don't, though, sit around. You don't
sit around waiting for the bottle. You've caught lightning in
a bottle. You don't sit around waiting for the bottle
of crack. The sequel is almost never the equal.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And you got Orlando and Golden State the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Please, that would be like buying stock in radio shack
because you believe in nostalgia. Well, congratulations, it ain't gonna
help you. Golden State is a dynasty on hospice at
this point. It is a museum exhibit with a gift shop,
and they've got some nice collectibles from the Splash brother
days and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And the only.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Thing that Dusty May would inherit is the blame when
things continue to go on a death spiral.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
For the Warriors, and they're they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Be so bad, so so bad. They're gonna they're gonna
bring back Baron Davis. That's how bad they're going to be.
My God, is a real job.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
All right now.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
If the Warriors want a miracle worker, I recommend calling
a priest, a rabbi, or a magician. Orlando's the job,
because that's it, full stop, Orlando. Not that that's a
great job. However, it's a younger team. It's a hungry team. Granted,
it's a bit of a confused team, which means Dusty
may could improve just by showing up in theory. With
(18:24):
Paolo Bonchero Franz Wagner and Desmond Baine as the big three,
although one of them may be traded, likely franz Wagner.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
There is raw talent.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
There is raw talent, and they just need something to
crank it up a couple of notches. The Magic are
like a mid level contender with upside. They're currently stuck
on a ditch on the side of the road. There's
ability for them to level up the Warriors. That is
a farewell tour. That is, hey, let's have flashback promotions
(18:59):
with Bob Heads for all these guys that no longer
play for the Warriors, so we'll bring them back. Why
not Orlando. There's a little runway there, so Dusty May's choice.
It's not really a debate. It's a map and there's
one road highlighted. It's a one way road and it's
got a spotlight on it.

Lorena's segment where we give a love of us it's
the Queen of Hearts with Lorena, so that'll be coming
up next hour. Later this hour, we have Mallord to
the third degree, so a lot to get to. In
the meantime, to the phones we go and we say
hello to.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Jed who fled? Hello, Jed who fled? Welcome.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Yeah, hey people, people, people with brains. I'm sure. I'm
sure the imminent alien invasion has nothing to do with
the fact deers on the side of the road, nothing
to do with the fact that generative AI can now
generate the videos that will full most of mankind. I'm
sure that when bleed Block comes out with the federal government,
(26:45):
Hey his blee Block. He's been he's been flipping burgers
over the you know, the in and out and you
know this guy. Nothing to do with the technology that
they could just make a video I could say, Jed
who fled farting into a microphone shaped like Ben mallin
face and being able to create it for me because
I'm a paid customer on both Gronx and chanzybt that
(27:07):
do you think that people with brains will realize what's going.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
On, Jed, is it true that you are from another
part of the universe.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
I've seen your in this, but I'm not from there.
Got to kids it early in my calling career. Now
they banned me from the why because you ask questions
if I'm from there, do you take it? What am
I here? I am feeling it from six point seven
eighty four Ship two three, and I'm from the Nebula
of whatever. I don't know if the nebula is actual?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I am I am Actually the Malord family comes from
I'm trying to touch up your barring me. I'm trying
to touch up your work. Now, the Mallard family. I've
never revealed this before on the radio.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
So that is offensive.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You don't need to the Mallory family tree. The Malord
family tree come from Uranus. That's where it comes to right.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
There you're talking about you're talking about hanging alien some trees. Dude,
that is a facus. Hey, what are you think it's good?
What if space jam meets uh Independence Day and we
have to play aliens in a sporting event for control
of Earth and his resources?
Speaker 8 (28:17):
What sport do we do?
Speaker 9 (28:18):
I'm thinking pickleball?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Pickleball, that's exactly what we need. I'm going bowling. I
think bowling would be great part.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Of the movies.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
It's gonna be convincing you a pickle bottle series game.
You know, it's gonna be like a montage in the
beginning or middle of it, when you're still skeptical, and
a lot of rocky music's gonna be played, and everybody
the end of that, I'm movie sweaty, and uh, you'll
be You'll be convinced that it's picklebossle jit.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Now, I am concerned. I'm concerned about you, Jed. And
here's why.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I've understood a lot of what you said today, and
I don't normally understand anything you say, so I'm disturbed.
That is everything okay? Would you like to share something
with the class?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Is everything all right with you?
Speaker 9 (28:51):
My alien friends have let it be know that if
I'm gonna be revealing the alien races exposure here on
your show, it'd be great if people could understand me.
And they said they they're very, very harsh after last
night's call where they're like, hid, You've got to be
understood or we will take cut you for pr for
the alien race. And I just said, hey, is it
didn't take me to York Waker and they didn't get
(29:12):
the reference because they don't know her films.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
You'll take me to your leader.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, you're my leader, Ben, all right, thank you all,
and I'm hanging up on you. Your leader is now
hanging up on you, and we are We're moving on
to someone that has very important information. In fact, this
person also maybe from somewhere out far away in the cosmos.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
We say, hello, is it a human? Is it a goblin?
Is it some kind of odd creature from somewhere out
in the far beyond?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Anthony in Louisiana, Hello, Anthony, Welcome, Hey me, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Anthony?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Would you be willing to be an ambassador for the
aliens when they come down from wherever they're at or
from the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Will you be a to negotiate with them?
Speaker 9 (30:02):
No? I don't understand them.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Okay, I offered you the job. You're a very kind
man to not accept the job.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
Coming to down and put the many grief.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Uh, well, if we come down, you're gonna show up.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I mean we haven't. I mean, got a few people
that call from Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We usually we got to people want to kind of
rally for a meet and greet and you know, let
us know. We had a lot of feedback in Cincinnati
for years, and Boston has been great, a great market
for the show.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So we need we need your brothers and sisters there, Anthony,
to let us know that they want us to come
to town. Otherwise we're not going on.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
What's that y'all going to Boxton this weekend?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yes, we we are, we are.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I'll you know when I'm flying over I don't think
we fly over Louisiana, but I'll wave at you as
we fly on to Boston. Okay, so I'll try to
find you on the map and I'll say, hey, look
there is that a bird?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Is it a plane?
Speaker 9 (30:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
That's the outback steakhouse where Anthony he takes the lady
to impress the ladies.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Right, Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
You can't match the liver cone.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I said, Hey, do I have to? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
all right, Oh there we go. You know, that's the
longest you've ever talked to me without bringing her name up.
I am a new record. That's a new record.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You're growing up, You're growing up, Anthony, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 9 (31:24):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Not too shabby?
Speaker 8 (31:27):
I packed today for Boston.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
It's good to hear from you, Loraine.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Better to hear from you.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Thanks for Collin.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
You can't Jonas, you can't Jonas uh reddy Queen. I said, hey, I.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Will tell them I'm att upset with you, Anthony. I'm
upset with you.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
How come you never say hey, Jonas let Ben Mallard,
No I say hello? Or you don't say hey, LeVar
let Ben Mallard, No, I want to say hello? How
come it's always we have to say hello to those guys?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
What's up with that?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:56):
Hey, man, you see it?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
My free Okay, as long as I'm your friend, Anthony,
we're pals, right me and you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, thank you? All right? All right, there he goes.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
It's a fan favorite. Anthony in Louisiana. My god, what
a treasure. How lucky are we that we have Anthony
calling our show? And just a treasure? Just like blind Scott? Hello,
blind Scott in Boston?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
What's going on? Scott? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Hey, what's up? I got something good for you? Lorena?
You'll fit in good in Boston because you're a white knight.
So maybe Joe Missoula will go on a date with
you because you're woke. So when you come to Boston,
you'll be beloved by the Boston crowd because you give
a lot of love to the people that need love
the most, the people that are segregated in Boston, because
in the history of Boston they have these spare policies. Hey, yeah,
(32:52):
I was trying that. It didn't really work. Tony ruined
the last hour.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Dude.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Whatever Tony did was way worth to what I.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Just did not know that was really good Tony eight hour.
The numbers are up, people are stream.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Numbers are wonderful, dude, Cony might have to get kicked
off the shops. Like, okay, let me tell you that that.
Would you come to Boston, I might meet you at
the airport. If you need a car at the airport,
I can get you one.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
You're blind, dude, you can't drive.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
Oh yeah, I'm nervous about the listeners. This the way
that I want to forget about that bit that failed earlier.
I'm real mad at Joe Missoula, the coach of Celtics.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Why are you mad at?
Speaker 8 (33:24):
I don't think he deserved his job. Number One, I
think you know, the other guy should have kept it.
I think he's only there. The Celtics is run by
private equity. Now the Celtics is a garbage franchise. The
Celtics Boston the first round. Dude, I gotta tell you,
there's a specially way his listeners have to greet me.
This is going to be a big meet and greet.
I have friends sleeping at the airport, so I was
over the airport today showing them where to sleep. You guys,
(33:46):
oh dude, you can't really go to Salem when you're here.
You don't have enough time because of the traffics. You
know what I'm saying. I have a lot of people
meeting up with me at the met greet, so I
met with my Mom's sad. We put out all these
outfits that I'm gonna wear. I got dresses, I got
all types of stuff that I un away. My mom
prepped me for how man to deal with these people
that I don't like. She said, you just be nice
in them. But I really hate some of these listeners. Man,
(34:08):
how are you going to keep some of these people
that I hate so much away from me? Like these
hicks from the half there?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Hea, you won't even know they're you won't even know
they're there. You can't see them.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
So you know, like even though they do how to
talk to me, they're not allowed to talk to me.
They're not allowed to come near me. They are not
good radio focos. They almost ruin the show they call
I will. I hate these people. They can't speak to me,
But so it's to be nice to them on and say, oh, hey,
how you doing. You know, it's just see you. Thanks, hey,
thanks for find the show in your pizza. Crap, you
(34:37):
almost gone all radio.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
They're very angry again. You're angry.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You gotta calm down. You gotta relax life, short man.
You got to relax a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Okay, thank you, go away.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
It is the Ben Malor Show, and we are ready
to go, ready to go for the Insta Trivia and
then we'll get to Mallard third degree.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
So here it is show.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Hey Otani, the Dodgers lost another one of his starts.
That's actually happened a lot since he's taken over as
his starting pitcher. But Shoeyotani has a two point zero
four era over his first twenty starts with the Dodgers,
and that broke Blank's record for the lowest era over
the first twenty starts in LA Dodgers history. Again, Shoeyotani,
(35:30):
a two point four era first twenty starts in the
regular season with the Dodgers, that broke Blank's record for
the lowest era over the first twenty starts of a
LA Dodger career.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That is the instant tribute, the answer. We'll get to it.
We will do it next.
Speaker 7 (35:47):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific, Bill.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
Miller and you. It is the Ben Maller Show.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
We got Mallard of the third Degree coming up in
a couple minutes. This is a radio show that becomes
a podcast. You can consume it whatever you want. Listen
live all night every night, or you can listen on demand.
A lot of you get up, you got the creeping
crud late night, Go take a whiz, go back to bed.
But we're here all night, so when you're more awake,
(36:19):
you can download the Ben Maler Show podcast, the Fifth
Hour podcast, and we will have new episodes even though
we'll be traveling this weekend in Boston and beyond so
check out that fifth hour podcast. Back to it all right, Ton,
Now for the instat trivia and we'll get to Mallard
(36:41):
the thirty degree. But here's the Insta trivia show. Hel
Tanis started and Dodgers didn't win. But Otani now has
a ERA of two point oh four over his first
twenty starts with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
That breaks Blanks record.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
For the lowest era over the first twenty starts in
La dot your history. That is the question, what is
the answer alf the alien opine a going with Rick
Honeycut Well, look at that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, that's a that's a solid image. Of course. I
own Rick Honeycut God led the American League in.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
R I own Marco Rubio from FEMI the Uber eat
driver in Minnesota, Lee Tuttle, good name by Rob the Goatman,
Mark from Queen says, Doc white Lines Golden is the answer.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Pickleball number one world ranked.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Ben Johns is the answer from King Rory Squirrel with
the peanut allergy from just josh Don Drysdale from Analog Al,
Johnny Padres from ekeon Roseville, Minnesota, and Andy Bennis from
DJ Spin in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Friend Nando Alean Zuela from j T the Wingman. What
say you, Lorraine up, mister incredible, No, it's no.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Mo Mania has meo nomo in nineteen ninety five, it's Mallard.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
How about that? To the third degree, this is one
big event? Gets grilled? All right? Cool?
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Johan Dotson has been in the NFL for four seasons now,
and we'll be joining his third team on the Atlanta Falcons.
New team president Matt Ryan told reporters that he believes
Dotson has quote untapped potential. Ben do you think Matty
Ice is right?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Well, he's gonna what do you expect him to say?
He's the guy sucks. That's why he keeps changing teams
because he's no good. Of course he's gonna say that. Now,
it's one thing to say. The reason you're on what
he's gonna be have a third different NFL team is
because you haven't gotten there. And if you don't get there,
you're you're going to be selling insurance Jehan Dotson. So,
(38:53):
how many guys have gone to Atlanta and really blossom
with the Falcons?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
The answer is not many.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
Next now, speaking of potential pack top pick wide receiver
Matthew Golden from last season, was only able to rack
up three hundred and sixty one yards and no touchdowns
in his rookie season. However, Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenovich
told the media Monday, it's gonna be a big year
for Golden.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Deal agree me, well.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yes, he's gonna get three hundred and seventy yards. He's
gonna get nine more yards than last year, Koop. So
he will have a bigger year Matthew Golden than he
did last year for the Green Bay Packers. I love
analysis in May, June, and.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
July, and this is what we have to look forward to.
Parsing the words of coaches.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I would respect these guys if they ever said, oh,
this guy's gonna suck, dude, this guy is going he's
gonna be out of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
He's not gona even make the team. They never say that.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They only say, Oh, this guy's gonna blossom.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
He's got untapped potential.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
Next, the Pistons narrowly avoided a shocking first round upset,
but that was enough to get JB. Bickerstaff a contract extension.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Ben. Do you think he earned it? No, he didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I wish radio companies operated the way that NBA teams do,
and it's they gave him a new contract, but if
the Pistons come out next year and are terrible, they'll
fire him and then they'll pay him for a couple
extra years. That's the way this works in pro sports.
That's why I have no problem ripping guys to get fired.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
How did we do you pass this edition? That is
a roll bunny on the bark
Ding dong.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number to our number two, and we are
all right with you here in our number two talking
some more pro bouncy ball. The Pistons, in a game
that was tied at ninety three late fourth quarter final
five minutes, played better down the stretch.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
They get the win.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
So who gets the biggest helping of the blame Buckeyes
for the boys from the Buckeye State there, James Harden
and the Cavaliers. Also, what did cavstar Spider Mitchell accomplished
by calling out the Pistons for flopping and yelling about
the officials.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
We'll discuss that in never never Land.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And you are Michigan College hoops coach Dusty May's career
counselor you make the call should he go to the
Golden State Warriors or the Orlando Magic for a nice
chunk of change wherever he ends up. We'll talk about
all that and more. It's like a night on the town,
but it just our number two.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Doing it. The Harden away.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Huh what Welcome in the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
We are in the.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Air a reware as we burn the clock, burn, baby burn,
and we know that freshness of the hot take is
our tradition.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Coast to coast, border the border.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
And beyond on the vast and here catchingly powerful microphones
of FSR am moundating. We'll do it live from the Burden,
the Burden of proof gear wanteed human from the world
famous Fox Sports radio studios.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
That is where we hang out side by side.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
And I got a message from our friend Ruth in
La and she said, hey, can you tell me about tires?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Said, you know what, I'll do that? Why not?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
For over forty years, tire i Rak has been helping
customers like the Nature Boy find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection, which Manuel and Guardina loves
so much, with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation
tire iraq dot com.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So then I got this weird email from I think
it was Derek the Bill's Monster, it might have been
from Helmetman and they mentioned wee Bowl and I said,
you know, it is time to get your financial portfolio
game ready. With wee Bowl, get powerful investing tools in
real time data, all in one platform. Get started by
downloading the wee bol app today or visiting we bowl
(02:57):
dot com. I know Mike, the insomniac there in Tampa,
agrees on that we both financial llcmember SIPC, FINRA investing
in ball's risk. For more information, visit we bowl dot
com slash disclosures.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So our lead this hour.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We continue our in depth team coverage all night from
pro Bouncy Ball. We go to Motown. We head out
to Motown. Why not taps, bleep.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And lootly we go there.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
It was two for one special the early game. The
undercard had a game in Detroit. There if you didn't watch,
perhaps not. Kate Cuttingham had the most points, so he
gets the lead on the hero of the game as Caid.
Cuttingham scored twenty three points on some terrible shooting. Former
Clipper Tobias Harris added twenty and the Pistons swarmed the
(03:55):
Cavaliers late to upset Strip Club John one eleven to
one oh one. On Tuesday night, in Game number one,
uh the second run, Duncan Robinson got into a little
hissy with James Harden. He had nineteen points for the
Pistons as well, who ended a NBA record tying twelve
(04:20):
game postseason skid, aoo better known as a losing streak
against a single opponent, a drought that had dated way
back to seven. I was a child in O seven
in the Eastern Conference Finals. So Game two is Thursday night,
Thursday night there in Detroit basketball. So the better story
(04:43):
is always in the losing locker room and Cleveland getting scrutinized, dramatized, chastised, analyzed, stigmatized, sensationalized,
and of course criticized. Let's say cred homage to Don King,
an old school boxing promoter. You don't even know who
that is. You have to be really old to know
(05:03):
who Don King is, because Don King's like really really
really really really old.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
That was one of his great lines, and it was
even longer than that. So it's a good jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Let us discuss the question who gets the biggest helping
of blame buck guys for James Harden's Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
That is the question.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So I've got Serena Williams, soft Launch and radio shack,
and we are gonna combine all of these things together,
and we are going to bet on the wrong horse,
is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
We're gonna bet on the wrong horse. So number what
number one?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Number one?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Number one, number one and fun number one. So Donovan Mitchell,
Evan Mobley and James Harden, the three amigos, they get
big heaping portions of the blame buck guys for the Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Here, the Cavs didn't just lose the game.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
It was like the holiday season and when you buy something,
would you like that gift wrapped?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay? Sure, can I get that gift wrap? Okay?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Well, because it's a holidays, We're not gonna even charge
you anymore. We're just gonna gif wrap this thing like
it is the holidays, and it's a holiday that you
don't even celebrate. Congratulations, and you don't need to be
Serena Williams to recognize the story here. Unforced errors, unforced
errors Okay, as they say in the Tennis World, twenty turnovers,
(06:32):
that's not offense. That is the salvation army. Okay, thirty
one free points to Detroit thirty one points off twenty giveaways.
Cleveland had sixteen. So my computer like brain using malarmath
tells me that that is a plus fifteen for the
(06:54):
home team, the Pistons. The game finished a ten point spread,
so you can your math and figure it out yourself.
It's a rather easy waltz. And that's game set and matchdown.
Even with that, the game was tied up at ninety
three with five twenty eight to go in the game,
so you did not need to watch.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
The first forty two minutes of the game.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
The last five to twenty eight of the game, Cleveland
played like a team seeing a basketball for the first
time ever, Like.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
What is this round object? I don't where did that
come from?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Is that from somewhere outside the Milky Way galaxy?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I doub't know.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
So Detroit they did. It wasn't their their name brand
players that played well in the final five to twenty eight.
It was some off brand players. The Sharks at feeding time,
they shot sixty three percent over the last five to
twenty eight of the game. The Cavs at thirty percent.
And they also had a prayer that was not answered.
And yes, you know how I do it here Supermarket
(07:58):
Steve Playoff Harden. The Playoff Harden experience showed up clunky,
sloppy seven turnovers, the turnover to assist ratio a one
for one proposition.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
The bottom line here, though, Cleveland did.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Not get beat They hit the self destruct button and
that's what happened. They just tuckered out in the final
five to twenty eight of the game, although they were
behind most of the game.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Most of the game.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Now, James Harden has been the one common denominator. He's
changed teams and bounced around the NBA, and he has
consistently ridden the vomit comet in playoff games. He'll get
one or two really good performances and then the rest
of the time there'll be a couple where he's just
kind of there, he's just taking up space, and then
there'll be several where he rex havoc and literally is
(08:52):
like the sixth man, right, He's like the sixth man
of the other team.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Anyway, here's James Harden who was asked about.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I guess you'll hear the question on this and the
answer hardened about all the mistakes, a lot of mistakes
for James Harden in these playoff games and the Cabs
in general.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Here's hard take your list.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Do you think these turnovers are something that are correctable?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Yep?
Speaker 6 (09:21):
What do you like?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
What do you think some of them are?
Speaker 4 (09:24):
You know, like non just said, you know, you look
at you look within first, and you look at my
turnovers and a lot of them are just on me
and nothing they did so and you know which led
to to you know, I don't even know how many
transition points they have, and it was way too many.
And I mean, if I had to put my my
print on one thing on the game, that's the game
(09:45):
right there. I mean, how many points a transitions that's
the game like it's nothing else, Like we talked about
last years, you get a shot on glass even half
of that, and it's a different ball game. So you know,
for me, I gotta be better and I will be
better turning the basketball over, you know, from turning the
bassball over again, shots up and then it gives our
(10:08):
defense a chance to get back, and said, you know,
I think we did it. Other than that, we played
a pretty solid game.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
That SoundBite could have been from twenty sixteen. It could
have been from you know.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
To go back.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
As long as you want to go back twenty twelve,
you can keep going back. He didn't mention the Cavs.
I don't believe he didn't mention the Pistons. That was
an evergreen SoundBite for the most part, and that's who
James Harden is. I heard it when he played for
the people's team, the Clippers, and he'd play a bad game.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
And he'd comment about how we know what we need.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
To do and Okay, good, go out and do it. Nope,
not gonna do it, Not gonna happen. It is literally
baked into James Harden to suck in playoff games, Like,
I don't know how you get that out of James
harden Is. It's when he sweats, the suck comes out
in the playoff.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
It's wild.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now, moving on pitch two, So cavstar Donovan Mitchell went
on a bit of a rant postgame. He was asked
by reporters about the foul shot disparity, the free throw disparity,
not only in this series a game one, of course,
this series, but the entire postseason, and Mitchell went on
(11:21):
a bit of a rant. He said, I want to
separate this from the game, he said, and then he
dove into the game, which was thirty five sixteen advantage
for Detroit in the disparity from the foul line, and
he said, here's the key part, he says, not why
we lost tonight, Spider Mitchell says, I want to make
sure I say that.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But but he says, I don't know. I'm trying to
get downhill.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
A friend of mine got fine for talking about flopping.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I guess he's talking about Jayalen Brown.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
So a quote continues, I'm not gonna try to double down,
but I mean, I feel like that's what I gotta do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
At this point, he said, you know what I mean, right, Okay,
I keep going. He says, like, I'm.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Trying to get downhill, trying to get to the bucket.
Sometimes there's people on the way and I'm trying to
fight through contact and I'm not getting these calls Clodes quote.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Question, So what did the Cavaliers Star Spider Mitchell accomplished
by calling out the referees and the seemingly the pistons flopping.
He didn't say pistons, but certainly implied there was some
flopping that went on. So Donovan Mitchell did not just
(12:40):
call out indirectly the pistons and obviously the referees. He
basically filed a lobbying brief with NBA headquarters in Manhattan,
and he did it on live TV. He hit the
classic Superstar two step, I am not blaming the referees.
But but but but but but but but but but.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Yeah, okay, so hey, it was musical.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I'm like Ohio Awler, Dick and Dayton or Jay Scoop
and just Josh. He said, but let me tell you
why we lost everything before the word but is a lie.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Every man woman knows that.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Sometimes children know that too, but mostly men and women
know that. Now Spider says he's not pointing fingers, and
then spent about two minutes pointing every finger and some
thumbs that he had. It's the NBA's version of no offense.
But yeah, okay, so this wasn't a comment. It was
(13:41):
a soft launch. Political campaign happens all the time all
the time. It is expected that coaches and players will lobby,
and obviously Spider Mitchell wants to separate it from the game,
the same way I want to separate dessert from dinner.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I still eat both. I still have both when I eat.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
And he used the refs as the fall guy and
sent up smoke signals begging for make good whistles is
what he Mitchell said that he's trying to get downhill,
but he went downhill straight into the complaint. Department in
the basement there. He went down to the complaint department,
and he didn't plant a seed. He planted an orchard
(14:23):
of referee guilt. Zebra guilt is what he did. All
of it aimed one message, Hey, Adam Silver, half man, half.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Alien, we'd like some freebies in game five. Yeah, I
did mean.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There's a lot of chatter there's gonna be some kind
of big UFO revelation coming out here in the coming
weeks and stuff.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Wouldn't it be great if.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
They announced that there have been extraterrestrials living with us
and one of them runs the NBA.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Wouldn't that be awesome?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
And Sam Cassell when he played years ago, also also
from somewhere else out in the cosmos, and that these.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Their hybrid human alien type people. Wouldn't that be awesome?
All right?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Final point, This is a crossover story college basketball and
the NBA. So things are getting dusty. They're getting dusty
around here. Yeah, I'm talking about Dusty May the coach.
He's a Michigan Man, the Champions of Collegiate Basketball. Well,
Dusty Mate doesn't sound like he's gonna be a Michigan
(15:25):
Man much longer. Apparently, he's got a knock on the door.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
You can hear it right there. Look at that. Do
I have not the greatest sound effects on all of
talk radio?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Look at that you're knocking, and the knock is the
NBA and they're saying, hey, Dusty, how would you like
to coach in the NBA? Now he just led Michigan
to a national championship. The speculation machine and the Naked
City's never wrong. The speculation machine says, the Orlando Magic
(15:53):
and the Golden State Warriors are said to be interested
in Dusty May in the month of May. Now, I
don't think Steve Kurrz officially been terminated or left the
Warriors yet, although Dusty May has no NBA coaching.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Experience, and may d'd agree.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You might remember he agreed to a contract extension, but
you know what that means. He hasn't signed it yet,
So until it's signed, it doesn't matter. And even if
he signs it, this language offset language and things like
that to get out of it. So the question you are,
now Michigan hoops coach Dusty May's career counselor should he
(16:34):
go to the Warriors or the Magic or stay at Michigan.
So if he's jumping, it's not even a choice. It's
Orlando or stay at Michigan or just retired. Dusty May
was able to catch lightning in an NIL sponsored bottle
at Michigan. He bought the right players. That's how you
(16:57):
play big time college football and basketball. Indiana, the right players,
they won the championship. Michigan bought the right players. They
won the championship. You don't, though, sit around. You don't
sit around waiting for the bottle. You've caught lightning in
a bottle. You don't sit around waiting for the bottle
of crack. The sequel is almost never the equal.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
And you got Orlando and Golden State the Warriors.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Please, that would be like buying stock in radio shack
because you believe in nostalgia. Well, congratulations, it ain't gonna
help you. Golden State is a dynasty on hospice at
this point. It is a museum exhibit with a gift shop,
and they've got some nice collectibles from the Splash brother
days and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And the only.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Thing that Dusty May would inherit is the blame when
things continue to go on a death spiral.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
For the Warriors, and they're they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
Be so bad, so so bad. They're gonna they're gonna
bring back Baron Davis. That's how bad they're going to be.
My God, is a real job.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
All right now.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
If the Warriors want a miracle worker, I recommend calling
a priest, a rabbi, or a magician. Orlando's the job,
because that's it, full stop, Orlando. Not that that's a
great job. However, it's a younger team. It's a hungry team. Granted,
it's a bit of a confused team, which means Dusty
may could improve just by showing up in theory. With
(18:24):
Paolo Bonchero Franz Wagner and Desmond Baine as the big three,
although one of them may be traded, likely franz Wagner.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
There is raw talent.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
There is raw talent, and they just need something to
crank it up a couple of notches. The Magic are
like a mid level contender with upside. They're currently stuck
on a ditch on the side of the road. There's
ability for them to level up the Warriors. That is
a farewell tour. That is, hey, let's have flashback promotions
(18:59):
with Bob Heads for all these guys that no longer
play for the Warriors, so we'll bring them back. Why
not Orlando. There's a little runway there, so Dusty May's choice.
It's not really a debate. It's a map and there's
one road highlighted. It's a one way road and it's
got a spotlight on it.

event I did to Mala meet and greet. I'm not
going to say the place'll confuse people. When was that twenty.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
I don't know. It was a few years ago.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That was the one where Roscoe the Parrot and David
from Winter Park, Florida showed up and it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Was a Wild Rockets night Wayne from Southey. I did
it for Mala. We got to find that drop, by

bouncy ball. Alfi Alien oponter says, I've seen the script
and the government is going to announce that Otis Nixon
(24:58):
has been added to the alien Ross.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Good call, alf good call.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Yeah, so we've It would just be very calming if
the government came out to listen. There have been extraterrestrials
living with us. It's a pilot program we started many
many years ago. And in the pilot program, we had
Adam Silver running the NBA. They love sports, Sam Cassell,
Otis Nixon, who else? George Mirrosan he would he would

hello to.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Jed who fled? Hello, Jed who fled? Welcome.
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Yeah, hey people, people, people with brains. I'm sure. I'm
sure the imminent alien invasion has nothing to do with
the fact deers on the side of the road, nothing
to do with the fact that generative AI can now
generate the videos that will full most of mankind. I'm
sure that when bleed Block comes out with the federal government,
(26:45):
Hey his blee Block. He's been he's been flipping burgers
over the you know, the in and out and you
know this guy. Nothing to do with the technology that
they could just make a video I could say, Jed
who fled farting into a microphone shaped like Ben mallin
face and being able to create it for me because
I'm a paid customer on both Gronx and chanzybt that
(27:07):
do you think that people with brains will realize what's going.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
On, Jed, is it true that you are from another
part of the universe.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
I've seen your in this, but I'm not from there.
Got to kids it early in my calling career. Now
they banned me from the why because you ask questions
if I'm from there, do you take it? What am
I here? I am feeling it from six point seven
eighty four Ship two three, and I'm from the Nebula
of whatever. I don't know if the nebula is actual?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
I am I am Actually the Malord family comes from
I'm trying to touch up your barring me. I'm trying
to touch up your work. Now, the Mallard family. I've
never revealed this before on the radio.
Speaker 9 (27:53):
So that is offensive.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You don't need to the Mallory family tree. The Malord
family tree come from Uranus. That's where it comes to right.
Speaker 9 (28:02):
There you're talking about you're talking about hanging alien some trees. Dude,
that is a facus. Hey, what are you think it's good?
What if space jam meets uh Independence Day and we
have to play aliens in a sporting event for control
of Earth and his resources?
Speaker 8 (28:17):
What sport do we do?
Speaker 9 (28:18):
I'm thinking pickleball?
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Pickleball, that's exactly what we need. I'm going bowling. I
think bowling would be great part.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
Of the movies.
Speaker 9 (28:26):
It's gonna be convincing you a pickle bottle series game.
You know, it's gonna be like a montage in the
beginning or middle of it, when you're still skeptical, and
a lot of rocky music's gonna be played, and everybody
the end of that, I'm movie sweaty, and uh, you'll
be You'll be convinced that it's picklebossle jit.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Now, I am concerned. I'm concerned about you, Jed. And
here's why.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
I've understood a lot of what you said today, and
I don't normally understand anything you say, so I'm disturbed.
That is everything okay? Would you like to share something
with the class?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Is everything all right with you?
Speaker 9 (28:51):
My alien friends have let it be know that if
I'm gonna be revealing the alien races exposure here on
your show, it'd be great if people could understand me.
And they said they they're very, very harsh after last
night's call where they're like, hid, You've got to be
understood or we will take cut you for pr for
the alien race. And I just said, hey, is it
didn't take me to York Waker and they didn't get
(29:12):
the reference because they don't know her films.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
You'll take me to your leader.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Okay, you're my leader, Ben, all right, thank you all,
and I'm hanging up on you. Your leader is now
hanging up on you, and we are We're moving on
to someone that has very important information. In fact, this
person also maybe from somewhere out far away in the cosmos.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
We say, hello, is it a human? Is it a goblin?
Is it some kind of odd creature from somewhere out
in the far beyond?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Anthony in Louisiana, Hello, Anthony, Welcome, Hey me, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Anthony?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Would you be willing to be an ambassador for the
aliens when they come down from wherever they're at or
from the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Will you be a to negotiate with them?
Speaker 9 (30:02):
No? I don't understand them.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Okay, I offered you the job. You're a very kind
man to not accept the job.
Speaker 9 (30:10):
Coming to down and put the many grief.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Uh, well, if we come down, you're gonna show up.
Speaker 9 (30:16):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I mean we haven't. I mean, got a few people
that call from Louisiana.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
We usually we got to people want to kind of
rally for a meet and greet and you know, let
us know. We had a lot of feedback in Cincinnati
for years, and Boston has been great, a great market
for the show.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So we need we need your brothers and sisters there, Anthony,
to let us know that they want us to come
to town. Otherwise we're not going on.
Speaker 7 (30:40):
What's that y'all going to Boxton this weekend?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Yes, we we are, we are.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
I'll you know when I'm flying over I don't think
we fly over Louisiana, but I'll wave at you as
we fly on to Boston. Okay, so I'll try to
find you on the map and I'll say, hey, look
there is that a bird?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Is it a plane?
Speaker 9 (30:55):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
That's the outback steakhouse where Anthony he takes the lady
to impress the ladies.
Speaker 8 (31:01):
Right, Yeah, you can't.
Speaker 9 (31:03):
You can't match the liver cone.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I said, Hey, do I have to? Yeah? Yeah, okay,
all right, Oh there we go. You know, that's the
longest you've ever talked to me without bringing her name up.
I am a new record. That's a new record.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You're growing up, You're growing up, Anthony, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 9 (31:24):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Not too shabby?
Speaker 8 (31:27):
I packed today for Boston.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
It's good to hear from you, Loraine.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Better to hear from you.
Speaker 6 (31:32):
Thanks for Collin.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
You can't Jonas, you can't Jonas uh reddy Queen. I said, hey, I.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Will tell them I'm att upset with you, Anthony. I'm
upset with you.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
How come you never say hey, Jonas let Ben Mallard,
No I say hello? Or you don't say hey, LeVar
let Ben Mallard, No, I want to say hello? How
come it's always we have to say hello to those guys?
Speaker 1 (31:54):
What's up with that?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (31:56):
Hey, man, you see it?
Speaker 2 (31:57):
My free Okay, as long as I'm your friend, Anthony,
we're pals, right me and you? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, thank you? All right? All right, there he goes.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
It's a fan favorite. Anthony in Louisiana. My god, what
a treasure. How lucky are we that we have Anthony
calling our show? And just a treasure? Just like blind Scott? Hello,
blind Scott in Boston?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
What's going on? Scott? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (32:29):
Hey, what's up? I got something good for you? Lorena?
You'll fit in good in Boston because you're a white knight.
So maybe Joe Missoula will go on a date with
you because you're woke. So when you come to Boston,
you'll be beloved by the Boston crowd because you give
a lot of love to the people that need love
the most, the people that are segregated in Boston, because
in the history of Boston they have these spare policies. Hey, yeah,
(32:52):
I was trying that. It didn't really work. Tony ruined
the last hour.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Dude.
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Whatever Tony did was way worth to what I.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Just did not know that was really good Tony eight hour.
The numbers are up, people are stream.
Speaker 8 (33:02):
Numbers are wonderful, dude, Cony might have to get kicked
off the shops. Like, okay, let me tell you that that.
Would you come to Boston, I might meet you at
the airport. If you need a car at the airport,
I can get you one.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
You're blind, dude, you can't drive.
Speaker 8 (33:15):
Oh yeah, I'm nervous about the listeners. This the way
that I want to forget about that bit that failed earlier.
I'm real mad at Joe Missoula, the coach of Celtics.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Why are you mad at?
Speaker 8 (33:24):
I don't think he deserved his job. Number One, I
think you know, the other guy should have kept it.
I think he's only there. The Celtics is run by
private equity. Now the Celtics is a garbage franchise. The
Celtics Boston the first round. Dude, I gotta tell you,
there's a specially way his listeners have to greet me.
This is going to be a big meet and greet.
I have friends sleeping at the airport, so I was
over the airport today showing them where to sleep. You guys,
(33:46):
oh dude, you can't really go to Salem when you're here.
You don't have enough time because of the traffics. You
know what I'm saying. I have a lot of people
meeting up with me at the met greet, so I
met with my Mom's sad. We put out all these
outfits that I'm gonna wear. I got dresses, I got
all types of stuff that I un away. My mom
prepped me for how man to deal with these people
that I don't like. She said, you just be nice
in them. But I really hate some of these listeners. Man,
(34:08):
how are you going to keep some of these people
that I hate so much away from me? Like these
hicks from the half there?
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Hea, you won't even know they're you won't even know
they're there. You can't see them.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
So you know, like even though they do how to
talk to me, they're not allowed to talk to me.
They're not allowed to come near me. They are not
good radio focos. They almost ruin the show they call
I will. I hate these people. They can't speak to me,
But so it's to be nice to them on and say, oh, hey,
how you doing. You know, it's just see you. Thanks, hey,
thanks for find the show in your pizza. Crap, you
(34:37):
almost gone all radio.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
They're very angry again. You're angry.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
You gotta calm down. You gotta relax life, short man.
You got to relax a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Okay, thank you, go away.
Speaker 2 (34:49):

to go, ready to go for the Insta Trivia and
then we'll get to Mallard third degree.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
So here it is show.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Hey Otani, the Dodgers lost another one of his starts.
That's actually happened a lot since he's taken over as
his starting pitcher. But Shoeyotani has a two point zero
four era over his first twenty starts with the Dodgers,
and that broke Blank's record for the lowest era over
the first twenty starts in LA Dodgers history. Again, Shoeyotani,
(35:30):
a two point four era first twenty starts in the
regular season with the Dodgers, that broke Blank's record for
the lowest era over the first twenty starts of a
LA Dodger career.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
That is the instant tribute, the answer. We'll get to it.
We will do it next.

Now for the instat trivia and we'll get to Mallard
(36:41):
the thirty degree. But here's the Insta trivia show. Hel
Tanis started and Dodgers didn't win. But Otani now has
a ERA of two point oh four over his first
twenty starts with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
That breaks Blanks record.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
For the lowest era over the first twenty starts in
La dot your history. That is the question, what is
the answer alf the alien opine a going with Rick
Honeycut Well, look at that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Yeah, that's a that's a solid image. Of course. I
own Rick Honeycut God led the American League in.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
R I own Marco Rubio from FEMI the Uber eat
driver in Minnesota, Lee Tuttle, good name by Rob the Goatman,
Mark from Queen says, Doc white Lines Golden is the answer.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Pickleball number one world ranked.

Ben Johns is the answer from King Rory Squirrel with
the peanut allergy from just josh Don Drysdale from Analog Al,
Johnny Padres from ekeon Roseville, Minnesota, and Andy Bennis from
DJ Spin in San Diego.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Friend Nando Alean Zuela from j T the Wingman. What
say you, Lorraine up, mister incredible, No, it's no.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Mo Mania has meo nomo in nineteen ninety five, it's Mallard.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
How about that? To the third degree, this is one
big event? Gets grilled? All right? Cool?
Speaker 6 (38:17):
Johan Dotson has been in the NFL for four seasons now,
and we'll be joining his third team on the Atlanta Falcons.
New team president Matt Ryan told reporters that he believes
Dotson has quote untapped potential. Ben do you think Matty
Ice is right?
Speaker 2 (38:30):
Well, he's gonna what do you expect him to say?
He's the guy sucks. That's why he keeps changing teams
because he's no good. Of course he's gonna say that. Now,
it's one thing to say. The reason you're on what
he's gonna be have a third different NFL team is
because you haven't gotten there. And if you don't get there,
you're you're going to be selling insurance Jehan Dotson. So,
(38:53):
how many guys have gone to Atlanta and really blossom
with the Falcons?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
The answer is not many.
Speaker 6 (38:58):
Next now, speaking of potential pack top pick wide receiver
Matthew Golden from last season, was only able to rack
up three hundred and sixty one yards and no touchdowns
in his rookie season. However, Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenovich
told the media Monday, it's gonna be a big year
for Golden.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Deal agree me, well.
Speaker 2 (39:13):
Yes, he's gonna get three hundred and seventy yards. He's
gonna get nine more yards than last year, Koop. So
he will have a bigger year Matthew Golden than he
did last year for the Green Bay Packers. I love
analysis in May, June, and.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
July, and this is what we have to look forward to.
Parsing the words of coaches.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
I would respect these guys if they ever said, oh,
this guy's gonna suck, dude, this guy is going he's
gonna be out of the NFL.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
He's not gona even make the team. They never say that.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
They only say, Oh, this guy's gonna blossom.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
He's got untapped potential.
Speaker 6 (39:47):
Next, the Pistons narrowly avoided a shocking first round upset,
but that was enough to get JB. Bickerstaff a contract extension.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Ben. Do you think he earned it? No, he didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
I wish radio companies operated the way that NBA teams do,
and it's they gave him a new contract, but if
the Pistons come out next year and are terrible, they'll
fire him and then they'll pay him for a couple
extra years. That's the way this works in pro sports.
That's why I have no problem ripping guys to get fired.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
How did we do you pass this edition? That is
a roll bunny on the bark

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
