Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb ber two, our
two ready to go as we talk about that big
showdown between Philly and New York at the Garden and
the Sixers somehow blew a five point lead in the
final thirty seconds of the game. A lot of controversy
(00:20):
in this game. Seventy six Ers star Joel Embiid called
the loss effing unacceptable. Where are you at on this one?
And do the Sixers and coach Nick Nurse have a
prayer of winning? The grievance with NBA officials will discuss that. Also,
Anthony Davis says the NBA doesn't like him and that's
(00:41):
why he won't win Defensive Player of the Year. Do
you have empathy for the unibrow who disappeared had as
many points as you did, by the way in that
Laker Nuggets game in the fourth quarter? And would you
support podcaster JJ Reddick getting an NBA coaching job in Charlotte.
He's going to interview for that job. We'll talk about
that and more right now here. It is our number two,
(01:03):
the gift from the gods, the basketball gods. Welcome. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler show.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
We are in the air everywhere, beside one another as
we get down to Bedrock Coast, the coast, border, the.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Border, and beyond all the vast vociferously powerful microphones of
fsre emmating live from climate as we undergo sports climate
change on a nightly basis. We're broadcasting live from the
ti Raq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
(01:46):
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended and sarves.
Freddie who hates Lebron and Matt the Warrior Raider fan
think that's a lot. Tire rack dot com the Way
tire Buying show me in our lead this hour, coming
(02:08):
from the other half of the bracket. Now we are
going to ignore the Cleveland Orlando game. There not much
to talk about there, but two good games on Turner Sports.
The NBA playoff doubleheader we mentioned last after just new
to the show here, the Lakers gaged a twenty point lead.
(02:29):
You know how harder is to blow a twenty point
lead if you're good, it's pretty hard. They blew a
twenty point lead against the Denver basketball team, and they
did it in splendid fashion. Jamal Murray hitting a game
winning shot as time expired right in front of the
Nuggets bench as Anthony Davis fell in to the bench,
which likely means he'll be hurt and missed the next game.
(02:50):
All right, So our lead though, is from Gotham. The
undercard featured the New York Knickerbockers, who gave out a
bunch of tickets to celebrities. They make the commoners, the
Wall Street crowd also have to buy tickets, but the
celebrities in New York at free tickets. They just can't
say anything bad about James Dolan or the Knicks, and
(03:11):
they're allowed to hang out and schmooze, and those are
very expensive tickets. So they were all there. Hey, if
you watched the game, Ben Stiller was hanging out there,
Chris Rock. So in terms of the actual game, his
historical type situation here, New York was dead for rights.
The last rights were being handed to the Knicks there
(03:31):
in this game they were gonna become the first home
team to lose in the playoffs. And then New York
guard Dante Stevencenzo, the old the Villanova guard. He made
a go ahead three point shot with thirteen seconds to
go in the game, and there was a helter skelter situation.
The Knicks went full Houdini and ended up winning the
(03:55):
game one oh four to one oh one. But the
setup on this the Knicks are up now two to
zero in the series. So the Knicks trailed by five
points down five final thirty seconds of the game, clock running,
final thirty second of the game, and it's one of
the all time wackiest playoff comebacks, which would not have
been possible without the generosity of the Philadelphia basketball team.
(04:19):
The rally started with Jalen Brunson, who had been terrible,
just horrific in this game. Jalen Brunson hit a three
pointer that hung around, bounced up on the rim, went
down corner, three point of the ball bounced at that
point it fell in. So at that point it's a
two point game, one to one to ninety nine. There's
twenty seven seconds remaining. So Josh Hart, who played every
(04:43):
minute of this game for New York, which is shocking.
It used to not be shocking, but now it's like
you're an iron man. Back before it was just expected.
But anyway, Josh Hart then stole the ball, a ball
from Tyrese MAXI very generous of Tyrese Maxie to mishandled
the ball. So the Knicks get the ball back and
they go out to Devincenzo and and then he ends
(05:08):
up missing he missed the shot. Oh no, well obviously
you know what happened. Uh. The former Clipper Isaiah Hartenstein
grabbed the rebound and tossed it back out to og
on Anobi, who then got the ball back to Devincenzo
and bang he made the shot there and that put
(05:29):
the Knicks up by one. They would go on and
win by three. And that led to a spicy comment
from joe El Nbad after after the game. Here's a
little taste of Joel Inbiid here on his commentary.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Everybody on the floor was trying to call Tom myself,
including Nico the coach on the saloon, but that didn't
give it to us. But you know, forget about of Tom.
There's a bunch of foss. Yeah, like I said, unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah. See that's the money quote and that's all we need.
We'll get to Nick Nurse in a minute, but we'll
start with Joel Embiids. So you just heard it. Joel
Embiid saying the Knicks loss or the Sixers loss to
the Knicks was efing unacceptable. So where are you at
on that particular quote. So I've got Fairbanks, worms and jays,
(06:22):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a zamboni, which they need
at Madison Square Garden. But not for the Knickerbockers. It's
the other team that's in the playoffs. So my first
observation here, my first thought on this is it is
efing unacceptable, but it doesn't go far enough. Okay, that's
(06:45):
number one. I had to keep Lorrain on guard there anyway.
So yeah, the first thought is it doesn't go far
enough to say, hey, it's effing unacceptable. There's a playoffs, right,
not a regular season game, not a regular team, but
we're talking about playoffs. Can't do it, can't have it happen.
(07:06):
That was a room service special. That was Santa Claus
on Christmas Morning, is what it was. That was Hanikah
Harry on the night of Hanaka. What are you doing
with any kind of discipline? The Sixers closed out the game.
They had a brain fart. There was brain flatulence that
went on by multiple players on the Sixers, and they
(07:27):
sucked at a time he cannot suck. It was low basketball, IQ.
They don't want to talk about that. They just kind
of glossed it over. But in the final seconds the
seventy six ers could not find you could say they
couldn't find the closer. And when they found the closer,
they had the great Pete Fairbanks of the Tampa Bay
Rays there that he was the closer. And as we
(07:49):
learned in a recent episode of the show, it was
an all encompassing type of suck. An all encompassing type
of suck. When you have a a five point lead
in thirty seconds of basketball, to close the lead and
you lose the game, that is all encompassing suck is
(08:09):
what that is. Now Philly plans to file a grievance.
Do we have Nick Nurse? Here is Nick Nurse, the
coach of the Philadelphia basketball team, talking about that the
final couple of seconds they tried to call time out
didn't was not granted. So take a listen to his complaints.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Obviously they score, we take a look at getting it
in quick. We don't get it in quick. I call
time out before he looked right at me, ignored me.
I needed a time out there to advance. It would
have been good.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I couldn't get it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, he went on the Sixers to say, through the
media and Philly, they're gonna file a grievance with the
NBA over the officiating these first two games, not just
Game two, but the first two games at Madison Square Garden.
So let's wrap this one up. So this coach, you
just heard them a little taste of it. Nick Nurse unhappy,
(09:05):
angry they lost the game, and I said, the officials
ignored the timeout call at the end. There will be
a grievance that will be filed here according to the
Philly media. There do the Sixers have a prayer of
winning the grievance over the shoddy officiating. So the way
(09:25):
I will answer this, do they have a chance of winning?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
In fact, I would be surprised if the NBA doesn't say, hey,
bad job by us. Now we screwed that one up.
Should have given you a timeout. But they're not going
to replay the game, so who cares. That's not gonna say.
All right, everyone back to Madison Square Garden will play
at four o'clock this afternoon. Just to have the Sixers
(09:49):
come back on the train up to New York and
will play the game. They're not gonna do that, so
they'll say, oh, it's a bad job, boss. But as
I understand it, maybe I'm wrong on this. It's up
to the discretion of the referee to grant the time out.
They don't have to give you the time out. And
I would assume the referees are gonna argue, well, I
didn't see it. You know what. You weren't clear that
(10:11):
you wanted to call the time out, and there's a
gray area here and all that. Anyway, we pivot now
to the award season, and I was not planning on
talking about this, but these quotes are so delicious. I
have to go down this road. So they announced over
the weekend the finalists for various awards. The Lakers center
Anthony Davis was not one of the finalists for the
(10:34):
Defensive Player of the Year award. And who gives a
rats ass? He does, he gives a rats ass. He
gave the mother of all quotes to a Laker sycophant scribe, saying, quote,
I'll never get it, he said of the Defensive Player
of the Year award. He then went on to say
they're not giving it to me. The league. Here we go,
(10:58):
buckle up. The league does it like me? He stated,
the league doesn't like me. I'm the best defensive player
in the league. Close quote. And I thought it would
be appropriate to talk about this on a night where
Anthony Davis absolutely vanished in a big spot for the Lakers.
I thought this would be perfect. So Anthony Davis said,
(11:18):
and again for those of you that are a little inebriated,
Anthony Davis said that the NBA doesn't like him. That's
a great quote, and that he's never going to win
the Defensive Player of the Year award. Do you have
any empathy for the unibra? So I'll go first. I
(11:38):
have none. I have zero, zero empathy. The word for
this is emasculating. What are you doing? Seriously, Anthony Davis,
it's appropriate. He gave these quotes before he went out
and pitched a goose egg, a shutout, a perfect quarter
down the stretch, not even scoring a point, taking one shot,
(11:59):
although I don't even remember taking the one shot in
the fourth quarter. But this is the kind of attitude.
This is why this guy's a dope. And then this
guy's a Nimrod and a Schmendrick and all those things.
Anthony Davis, he did play a lot of games this
Year'll give him that. But his legend has already informed.
We talk a lot about this over the course of
(12:20):
the year. We'll mention this several times. When the legend
becomes the fact, you go with the legend the man
that shot Liberty Bounce. The legend of Anthony Davis is
he doesn't play, he's not reliable, and he's like he's
humming bars from this old century. It's from the thirteenth century.
There's a childhood song, a kid's song from Tonga, and
(12:42):
it goes something like that, nobody likes me, everybody hates me.
I think I'll go eat worms. That's essentially what Anthony
Davis just did here. And then he went out after
bragging about how great he is. And I don't remember
making any plays in the fourth What do you maybe
he did. I don't know. Maybe I was in a
(13:03):
coma or something. I blocked it out. But boooo, they
don't like me. Oh my god. That shows you the
personification of soft, the living embodiment of soft. And plus
we know he plays with lebron if Lebron can't win
the Defensive Player of the Year. Anthony Davis can't win
(13:24):
the Defensive Player of the all Right, real quick final point.
The news on the coaching circuit in the NBA involving
a podcaster. This is how pathetic the NBA is. They're
not going to interview podcasters for coaching jobs. Did you
see this? Yeah? Would you support JJ Reddick the podcaster
getting the Charlotte coaching job. He's gonna interview for the job.
(13:48):
So I will go yes on this. I will nod
my head. Yes, I support JJ Reddick getting a coaching
job as long as he ends his podcast and gets
off my television. I fully support that way to go right,
and in fact we will. We will fully support him
on tobacco Road. We'll we'll take him there, We'll buy
him some cigarettes. The Hornets, the way I look at
(14:11):
they're a irrelevant, right, They're a spam team, They're a
philler team. They suck. They've sucked for years, and they
they've tried to hire real coaches like they know what
they're doing, and that hasn't worked. So why not hire
a podcast or why not go for it? And I
have an unpopular opinion on JJ Reddick because I saw
him miss so many wide open three point shots in
the fourth quarter during the Lob City years. I'm not
(14:32):
a fan, but here's my position on JJ Reddick. I
can look that, I can put that to a side
and look past that. So JJ Redick is not really
cut out for sports media. He's not. And let me
tell you why. There was a comment he gave a
couple months ago that just outed him as a total
loser and a guy that can't handle the modern media
(14:54):
circuit the way it works here, because here's why, it's
like the the J's or the OJ's, the old song
from the ojs back in the seventies, give the people
what they want. JJ Reddick does not believe in giving
the people what they want. JJ's annoyance, right, his annoyance
with the fan who doesn't want to get inside the
(15:19):
strategy of basketball, and he complained about it. He started
some fugazi podcasts which likes three people are listening to
with Lebron about the strategy of the game. Who the
hell wants to get The answer is nobody right, People
tune in. It's been proven for generations now. People tune
in for the drama. They don't tune in for the
x's and o's. A lot of people are watching. They
(15:40):
couldn't tell you the difference between a basketball and volleyball,
but they tune in for the drama. And JJ Reddick
doesn't like that. So let him go coach a bunch
of losers in Charlotte and they can win twenty five
or thirty games a year, and he can brag about
all his x's and o's, and then, of course, because
of the jococracy, he'll come back and get a job
as a commentator. Again. That's how that works. It is
(16:00):

I don't think so. No, it's a big pickup, guys,
a number two pick in the NFL Draft. You got
him for a six round pick. I mean that's a
hell of a deal. A what a feather in the
cap for Sean Payton to go out and make that

out awards for best sucks. Anthony Davis is your winners.
(18:40):
Late Night Drug tester says, I thought I thought the
defensive player of the Year would have been lebron for
protecting ad for actually playing enough games to be eligible
for the awards. Shocking fer Dog rightes in, he says,
shouldn't Laker fans be happy with a close loss? Everyone
(19:00):
with a brain knew the Lakers did no chance against
the Nuggets. The only question was how competitive this year's
sweep would be. That well, that's right. These first two
games have been good losses for the for the Lakers,
solid losses, clearly, Yeah, can't close the Neil Neil right
Since says, speaking of sports personalities, we need Keith Oberman
(19:21):

with there with Oberman. Uh, he was a big star
out here in LA local TV before he went to ESPN.
Midnight Walker writes in from Syracuse. He says, up by
five with thirty seconds to play, How could Philly let
(19:42):
that game slip away? Grievance will be filed, but that
games in the books. Down two games to none, The
Sixers are cooked? Why the Grievers ben? Yeah, it's very upset,
very angry. Let's call the phone so we'll say hello

You want to break down that Warrior playoff game, Sam? No,
you can't. There's no playoff game to break there's no
playoff game to break down. There's nothing to break down.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
So the playing game is not the playoffs. I guess, okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
No it's not. The NBA doesn't count it. That's a
great that's a great point. The NBA is so stupid
they say, it's not the playoffs, it's not the regular season.
It's something else. It's it's a spot, but we're not
sure what spot it is. It's very weird.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Oh well, if that sucks even more. Anyway, I wanted
to talk about baseball before.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I get talking base ball. Yeah, that's let's talk some ball.
Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
We don't talk ball, Okay, before I get into that, though,
real quick, Coop the Loop. You need those four inches
because every time you pick up the phone, you act

S word. I would like to see us be allowed
to say it. My bosses they don't. If it was
(26:18):
up to me, I just let you say it. I
don't care. It's a safe harbor we're on in the
middle of the night. But I do not want our
friend Loreena to get a phone call. She needs to
sleep and he does not need to be awoken by
an angry boss. So that is why. But there are
there are like literally hundreds of ways to say and
(26:40):
many of them are much funnier than the S word.
Speaker 10 (26:43):
Right.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
What about dingleberry. Dingleberry is a great word, good word.
That is a fine I've used the word dingle bear.
It's a great word. You can go dingleberry and that.
People laugh when they hear dingleberry. It's hard not to.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Laugh when you hear that, right, it's just impossible. Anyway,
that's go back to the phones. Why not? I don't
see how many times we can use the dump button? Scared,
calm down? Everything be okay. Let's say hello to Mark
the full name guy in Medford, Organ, Hello, Mark the Yes, Yes,
what you know?
Speaker 10 (27:16):
The S word actually originates it's an actually an acronym
for a store high in transit, in reference to fertilizer
being shipped across the ocean.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, well you just meant you could use the word excrement.
You know, that was some real I almost lost my extrement.
That's a big word. How about I almost lost my dungue.
That would be funny, right, that's a fun word. Dung
is a good word. I use manure. I like the
word manure. I use fertilizer. Those are interchangeable cow patties.
(27:58):
I almost lost my cow patt that's a fun one, right, Oh,
col pies. That's right, Cal You're you're more of an
expert than I am. Mark.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
Yeah, well, I guess I've been at it longer than you.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Have, I guess. So how about metal muffins? Yeah, I
lost my metal muffins. That's a good one too, right, Yeah,
all right, Now here's here's a reference. I've used this
a few times going back. This goes back to the
Civil War in America, the Tennessee trots. You know what
(28:31):
the Tennessee Trotza is, Mark.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, I can't imagine.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
It isn't like the.
Speaker 10 (28:38):
Standards.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh yeah, well i've heard the as this is the
Tennessee Trotz is dysentery. It's uh which I'm told you
don't want to.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
Have, no very Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Sure, all right, now that we've turned the show into
a poop fest, how can we help you?
Speaker 12 (28:55):
Well, now, you know, I was thinking, I haven't been
to Magice Gordon in quite some time. I left New
York years and years ago, decades ago. But I had
fun going there when I did uh Rangers hockey back
in the day when it was only a six team league,
(29:17):
back in the old Madison Square Garden. And now the
Nick arrangements are both want some.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
So now when you would you walk there? Would you
take a cab or would you take the train independ station?
What was your movie?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Look at that? Oh man, unbelievable, amazing. All right, thank you?
(29:57):
All right, that's enough. There he goes, Marty full name guy.
Where he goes, Well, you'd have to follow him to
find out where he goes. I don't know. I'm not
his mother. I don't know where he's no idea. Kathy
and Madison writes in and says, hey, Benny, the jet
what about bowls at or scat means the same thing?
(30:22):
Can also jazz jazzing up the term I think is
wishing meant jazzing up the term and singing it. So
you know, this is a very important issue of Kathy
and Madison is sending us alternatives to the word pooh.
So thank you. And another guy from Montana the Saint,
I thought that would have been a good call. How
about bowel movement? You can do bowel movement, right, that's allowed.
(30:44):
It's allowed. Right, you can say that. You can definitely
say that. Yeah, Eddie says that all the time off there, right,
doesn't he say that a lot? He's a very very
big mouth. You could even say, yeah, you can say
turd burger, Yes, that's funny, turd berger, turd ferguson, that's
a movie reference.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
There's a lot of ways you can say the back
to the basketball, I guess this is plausibly a sports show.
So we had Joel enbi We played a little clip
of Joel nbi. I don't know if you paid attention
to it. The Sixers are down two to zero. They
blew a five point lead in thirty seconds, actually twenty
seven seconds, but he claims Joel embiid claims that the
(31:22):
Sixers are the better team than the Knickerbockers. So them
played like it, but he claims they're the better team.
And then you have Devin Booker. The Sons got run
off the court. They were mopped by the Minnesota basketball team.
The t Wolves mopped them in their Game one. And
he was asked about the people ripping the Suns for
(31:45):
their pathetic performance, and he said that the critics of
the Suns are quote over reacting to getting run off
the court in Game one. I do not agree. I
do not believe that you are overreacting. That was completely unexpected.
(32:07):
Minnesota is supposed to be the team that's lacking the
playoff pedigree, the rank and file, the core of that team.
I'm talking about aunt Anthony Edwards. Not a lot of
time marinating in the NBA playoffs. When you look at
the Suns with Durant and all the playoff games, Devin
Booker was in the finals a couple of years ago
with the Suns and the core of the Suns with
(32:30):
a wink and a nod to Bradley Beal, although even
he's been in some playoff games, but the guys have
been in more opportunities and so you normally expect them
to be okay, and I get run off the court
the way they were in that game. All right? Is
the Ben Mahlord Show. As we continue, I'm gonna have
Mallard of the third degree time now though for the
instead trivia, and we'll go to basketball for this. Blank
(32:54):
is considered one of the top young stars in the NBA,
but in the playoff this person has fifteen turnovers and
eight assists, which I do not believe is good. Again,
Blank considered one of the top young stars in the NBA,
but in the playoffs he's got fifteen turnovers, and eight
(33:14):
assists so far, not particularly good. That is the insta tribute.
The answer, We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
And here's the install trivia. Go to Basketball Pro bouncy
Ball where Blank is considered one of the top young
stars in the NBA, but in the playoffs playoffs has
fifteen turnovers and eight assists. Not getting it done at
this particular time. That is the instant trivia. What is
(34:22):
the answer, mister nice guy? Going with the great Pat Tabler,
of the nineteen eighty seven Cleveland Indians. Who else do
we have? Late night drug tester says Shabbaz Mohammed of
the Timberwolves. Interesting guests. Who else do we have? Alf
the Alien opiner going with our former morning guy Mark
Patrick on Sports mp OS. You know why Alf, you're
(34:45):
in the big chair. That's why Mark Patrick. I remember
when Mark dere Morning Show and he said, Hey, my
kid's pretty good at baseball. What do you think you know?
He sent me some clips of his son, who went
on to be the closer for the Washington Nationals. I
think he made an All Star game. Drew Storren the
kid's name. Robin Vegas says, Seth Freakin' Rollins from rob
(35:10):
That's from Robin Vegas. As I said, who else do
we have? Frank Shorter from Robin, Minnesota. A lot of Robs.
Matt the Warrior Raider fan is a blatant cheater. That's
why all those teams left. He got it right. King
Rory says, Billy Hoyle is the answer. Sam from the
Bay Area, I guess by Mallard prop guy, that's his answer.
(35:33):
Zion Williamson from Double O Mexican in San Diego. That's
like something that Justed in Cincinnati would say that it's
justin awake. I don't know, maybe sleepy Luca Garza from
Ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. Stevie Meatball says Tyler Turdberger. Hero is
the way to go. John going with the Oshkosh North
(35:56):
dirt bag Tyrese Haliburton as his answer, Horse Shack from
Andy from lion O Lakes. That's his answer, Eddie. What's
that you? Eddie?
Speaker 8 (36:07):
I'm gonna go with the former Detroit Tiger slugger Bobby Higginson.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Oh Higgey. Uh, that's incorrect, Eddie, b you. The correct
answer is the following blank Considered one of the top
young stars in the NBA, but the playoff fifteen turnovers,
eight assists not particularly good. That would be Paulo bon
Cheryl your lio magic. Here we go, Here, here we go.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
This is one gets great.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Yes, Cooper Loop, Well, Ben, we're gonna we're gonna do
two questions today.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Okay, you already answered one of them. All right, good.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
The Chargers are betting favorites to land Jim Harbaugh's old
running back from Michigan, Blake Korham Do Some mock drafts
have Krum being the first run back off the board
in the second round. Others have Korum as low as
the fifth best back in the draft and going in
the third round. Ben, How do you think Korum transitions
into the pros?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I think he'll be all right. The better question though, here, Coop,
is is Jim Harbaugh being legit with the football media.
Is he really trying to get all of his Michigan
guys together with the Chargers or is this all a ruse? Like?
What is the truth there? Because there's there's reports that
they want JJ McCarthy. They already have a quarterback and
(37:30):
they you know, they want the want the offensive lineman
from Michigan. Is that all just a bull crap? Or
is that really what Jim Harball wants? That's the better question.
I think Kram will be all right, but he doesn't
running backs it's a temporary job. Even if you're good,
you're a temp in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
Next, the Cleveland Guardians are the best record in the
AL and have the best point differential in all of baseball.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I think he's called run differential, Coop. But I don't
want to touch up your work there. But yeah, you
know whatever. Do you think the Guardians are contenders? Are pretenders? Well,
they are contenders because they have locate location location. I
know the Royals are playing better than expected, but they
think the White Sox are horrifically bad. I don't think
the Tigers are that good. So that's a bad division.
(38:11):
So by default they are in a playoff position. Now,
do they have a lot of name brand players? No,
Most average fans could not name more than a couple
players in the Guardians. They're in this group. How don't
we know? No, you said you I corrected your work, Coop.
You said, but you screwed up. I agree with that.
Here we go. Welcome, It's our numb ber two, our
two ready to go as we talk about that big
showdown between Philly and New York at the Garden and
the Sixers somehow blew a five point lead in the
final thirty seconds of the game. A lot of controversy
(00:20):
in this game. Seventy six Ers star Joel Embiid called
the loss effing unacceptable. Where are you at on this one?
And do the Sixers and coach Nick Nurse have a
prayer of winning? The grievance with NBA officials will discuss that. Also,
Anthony Davis says the NBA doesn't like him and that's
(00:41):
why he won't win Defensive Player of the Year. Do
you have empathy for the unibrow who disappeared had as
many points as you did, by the way in that
Laker Nuggets game in the fourth quarter? And would you
support podcaster JJ Reddick getting an NBA coaching job in Charlotte.
He's going to interview for that job. We'll talk about
that and more right now here. It is our number two,
(01:03):
the gift from the gods, the basketball gods. Welcome. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Maler show.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
We are in the air everywhere, beside one another as
we get down to Bedrock Coast, the coast, border, the.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Border, and beyond all the vast vociferously powerful microphones of
fsre emmating live from climate as we undergo sports climate
change on a nightly basis. We're broadcasting live from the
ti Raq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help
(01:46):
you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended and sarves.
Freddie who hates Lebron and Matt the Warrior Raider fan
think that's a lot. Tire rack dot com the Way
tire Buying show me in our lead this hour, coming
(02:08):
from the other half of the bracket. Now we are
going to ignore the Cleveland Orlando game. There not much
to talk about there, but two good games on Turner Sports.
The NBA playoff doubleheader we mentioned last after just new
to the show here, the Lakers gaged a twenty point lead.
(02:29):
You know how harder is to blow a twenty point
lead if you're good, it's pretty hard. They blew a
twenty point lead against the Denver basketball team, and they
did it in splendid fashion. Jamal Murray hitting a game
winning shot as time expired right in front of the
Nuggets bench as Anthony Davis fell in to the bench,
which likely means he'll be hurt and missed the next game.
(02:50):
All right, So our lead though, is from Gotham. The
undercard featured the New York Knickerbockers, who gave out a
bunch of tickets to celebrities. They make the commoners, the
Wall Street crowd also have to buy tickets, but the
celebrities in New York at free tickets. They just can't
say anything bad about James Dolan or the Knicks, and
(03:11):
they're allowed to hang out and schmooze, and those are
very expensive tickets. So they were all there. Hey, if
you watched the game, Ben Stiller was hanging out there,
Chris Rock. So in terms of the actual game, his
historical type situation here, New York was dead for rights.
The last rights were being handed to the Knicks there
(03:31):
in this game they were gonna become the first home
team to lose in the playoffs. And then New York
guard Dante Stevencenzo, the old the Villanova guard. He made
a go ahead three point shot with thirteen seconds to
go in the game, and there was a helter skelter situation.
The Knicks went full Houdini and ended up winning the
(03:55):
game one oh four to one oh one. But the
setup on this the Knicks are up now two to
zero in the series. So the Knicks trailed by five
points down five final thirty seconds of the game, clock running,
final thirty second of the game, and it's one of
the all time wackiest playoff comebacks, which would not have
been possible without the generosity of the Philadelphia basketball team.
(04:19):
The rally started with Jalen Brunson, who had been terrible,
just horrific in this game. Jalen Brunson hit a three
pointer that hung around, bounced up on the rim, went
down corner, three point of the ball bounced at that
point it fell in. So at that point it's a
two point game, one to one to ninety nine. There's
twenty seven seconds remaining. So Josh Hart, who played every
(04:43):
minute of this game for New York, which is shocking.
It used to not be shocking, but now it's like
you're an iron man. Back before it was just expected.
But anyway, Josh Hart then stole the ball, a ball
from Tyrese MAXI very generous of Tyrese Maxie to mishandled
the ball. So the Knicks get the ball back and
they go out to Devincenzo and and then he ends
(05:08):
up missing he missed the shot. Oh no, well obviously
you know what happened. Uh. The former Clipper Isaiah Hartenstein
grabbed the rebound and tossed it back out to og
on Anobi, who then got the ball back to Devincenzo
and bang he made the shot there and that put
(05:29):
the Knicks up by one. They would go on and
win by three. And that led to a spicy comment
from joe El Nbad after after the game. Here's a
little taste of Joel Inbiid here on his commentary.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Everybody on the floor was trying to call Tom myself,
including Nico the coach on the saloon, but that didn't
give it to us. But you know, forget about of Tom.
There's a bunch of foss. Yeah, like I said, unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah. See that's the money quote and that's all we need.
We'll get to Nick Nurse in a minute, but we'll
start with Joel Embiids. So you just heard it. Joel
Embiid saying the Knicks loss or the Sixers loss to
the Knicks was efing unacceptable. So where are you at
on that particular quote. So I've got Fairbanks, worms and jays,
(06:22):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a zamboni, which they need
at Madison Square Garden. But not for the Knickerbockers. It's
the other team that's in the playoffs. So my first
observation here, my first thought on this is it is
efing unacceptable, but it doesn't go far enough. Okay, that's
(06:45):
number one. I had to keep Lorrain on guard there anyway.
So yeah, the first thought is it doesn't go far
enough to say, hey, it's effing unacceptable. There's a playoffs, right,
not a regular season game, not a regular team, but
we're talking about playoffs. Can't do it, can't have it happen.
(07:06):
That was a room service special. That was Santa Claus
on Christmas Morning, is what it was. That was Hanikah
Harry on the night of Hanaka. What are you doing
with any kind of discipline? The Sixers closed out the game.
They had a brain fart. There was brain flatulence that
went on by multiple players on the Sixers, and they
(07:27):
sucked at a time he cannot suck. It was low basketball, IQ.
They don't want to talk about that. They just kind
of glossed it over. But in the final seconds the
seventy six ers could not find you could say they
couldn't find the closer. And when they found the closer,
they had the great Pete Fairbanks of the Tampa Bay
Rays there that he was the closer. And as we
(07:49):
learned in a recent episode of the show, it was
an all encompassing type of suck. An all encompassing type
of suck. When you have a a five point lead
in thirty seconds of basketball, to close the lead and
you lose the game, that is all encompassing suck is
(08:09):
what that is. Now Philly plans to file a grievance.
Do we have Nick Nurse? Here is Nick Nurse, the
coach of the Philadelphia basketball team, talking about that the
final couple of seconds they tried to call time out
didn't was not granted. So take a listen to his complaints.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Obviously they score, we take a look at getting it
in quick. We don't get it in quick. I call
time out before he looked right at me, ignored me.
I needed a time out there to advance. It would
have been good.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
I couldn't get it.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Yeah, he went on the Sixers to say, through the
media and Philly, they're gonna file a grievance with the
NBA over the officiating these first two games, not just
Game two, but the first two games at Madison Square Garden.
So let's wrap this one up. So this coach, you
just heard them a little taste of it. Nick Nurse unhappy,
(09:05):
angry they lost the game, and I said, the officials
ignored the timeout call at the end. There will be
a grievance that will be filed here according to the
Philly media. There do the Sixers have a prayer of
winning the grievance over the shoddy officiating. So the way
(09:25):
I will answer this, do they have a chance of winning?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
In fact, I would be surprised if the NBA doesn't say, hey,
bad job by us. Now we screwed that one up.
Should have given you a timeout. But they're not going
to replay the game, so who cares. That's not gonna say.
All right, everyone back to Madison Square Garden will play
at four o'clock this afternoon. Just to have the Sixers
(09:49):
come back on the train up to New York and
will play the game. They're not gonna do that, so
they'll say, oh, it's a bad job, boss. But as
I understand it, maybe I'm wrong on this. It's up
to the discretion of the referee to grant the time out.
They don't have to give you the time out. And
I would assume the referees are gonna argue, well, I
didn't see it. You know what. You weren't clear that
(10:11):
you wanted to call the time out, and there's a
gray area here and all that. Anyway, we pivot now
to the award season, and I was not planning on
talking about this, but these quotes are so delicious. I
have to go down this road. So they announced over
the weekend the finalists for various awards. The Lakers center
Anthony Davis was not one of the finalists for the
(10:34):
Defensive Player of the Year award. And who gives a
rats ass? He does, he gives a rats ass. He
gave the mother of all quotes to a Laker sycophant scribe, saying, quote,
I'll never get it, he said of the Defensive Player
of the Year award. He then went on to say
they're not giving it to me. The league. Here we go,
(10:58):
buckle up. The league does it like me? He stated,
the league doesn't like me. I'm the best defensive player
in the league. Close quote. And I thought it would
be appropriate to talk about this on a night where
Anthony Davis absolutely vanished in a big spot for the Lakers.
I thought this would be perfect. So Anthony Davis said,
(11:18):
and again for those of you that are a little inebriated,
Anthony Davis said that the NBA doesn't like him. That's
a great quote, and that he's never going to win
the Defensive Player of the Year award. Do you have
any empathy for the unibra? So I'll go first. I
(11:38):
have none. I have zero, zero empathy. The word for
this is emasculating. What are you doing? Seriously, Anthony Davis,
it's appropriate. He gave these quotes before he went out
and pitched a goose egg, a shutout, a perfect quarter
down the stretch, not even scoring a point, taking one shot,
(11:59):
although I don't even remember taking the one shot in
the fourth quarter. But this is the kind of attitude.
This is why this guy's a dope. And then this
guy's a Nimrod and a Schmendrick and all those things.
Anthony Davis, he did play a lot of games this
Year'll give him that. But his legend has already informed.
We talk a lot about this over the course of
(12:20):
the year. We'll mention this several times. When the legend
becomes the fact, you go with the legend the man
that shot Liberty Bounce. The legend of Anthony Davis is
he doesn't play, he's not reliable, and he's like he's
humming bars from this old century. It's from the thirteenth century.
There's a childhood song, a kid's song from Tonga, and
(12:42):
it goes something like that, nobody likes me, everybody hates me.
I think I'll go eat worms. That's essentially what Anthony
Davis just did here. And then he went out after
bragging about how great he is. And I don't remember
making any plays in the fourth What do you maybe
he did. I don't know. Maybe I was in a
(13:03):
coma or something. I blocked it out. But boooo, they
don't like me. Oh my god. That shows you the
personification of soft, the living embodiment of soft. And plus
we know he plays with lebron if Lebron can't win
the Defensive Player of the Year. Anthony Davis can't win
(13:24):
the Defensive Player of the all Right, real quick final point.
The news on the coaching circuit in the NBA involving
a podcaster. This is how pathetic the NBA is. They're
not going to interview podcasters for coaching jobs. Did you
see this? Yeah? Would you support JJ Reddick the podcaster
getting the Charlotte coaching job. He's gonna interview for the job.
(13:48):
So I will go yes on this. I will nod
my head. Yes, I support JJ Reddick getting a coaching
job as long as he ends his podcast and gets
off my television. I fully support that way to go right,
and in fact we will. We will fully support him
on tobacco Road. We'll we'll take him there, We'll buy
him some cigarettes. The Hornets, the way I look at
(14:11):
they're a irrelevant, right, They're a spam team, They're a
philler team. They suck. They've sucked for years, and they
they've tried to hire real coaches like they know what
they're doing, and that hasn't worked. So why not hire
a podcast or why not go for it? And I
have an unpopular opinion on JJ Reddick because I saw
him miss so many wide open three point shots in
the fourth quarter during the Lob City years. I'm not
(14:32):
a fan, but here's my position on JJ Reddick. I
can look that, I can put that to a side
and look past that. So JJ Redick is not really
cut out for sports media. He's not. And let me
tell you why. There was a comment he gave a
couple months ago that just outed him as a total
loser and a guy that can't handle the modern media
(14:54):
circuit the way it works here, because here's why, it's
like the the J's or the OJ's, the old song
from the ojs back in the seventies, give the people
what they want. JJ Reddick does not believe in giving
the people what they want. JJ's annoyance, right, his annoyance
with the fan who doesn't want to get inside the
(15:19):
strategy of basketball, and he complained about it. He started
some fugazi podcasts which likes three people are listening to
with Lebron about the strategy of the game. Who the
hell wants to get The answer is nobody right, People
tune in. It's been proven for generations now. People tune
in for the drama. They don't tune in for the
x's and o's. A lot of people are watching. They
(15:40):
couldn't tell you the difference between a basketball and volleyball,
but they tune in for the drama. And JJ Reddick
doesn't like that. So let him go coach a bunch
of losers in Charlotte and they can win twenty five
or thirty games a year, and he can brag about
all his x's and o's, and then, of course, because
of the jococracy, he'll come back and get a job
as a commentator. Again. That's how that works. It is
(16:00):
the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to come in
on any of that, you can join us. A lot
of lines are full, so don't bother calling right now,
but something opens up. We will take your calls also
on X at Ben Mahlor. That is at Ben Mahlor
the old calm down mixed with a bold claim. We'll

Sports Radio Network. It's the coop, the loop Justin Cooper
and he's at u H Bronco fan.
Speaker 9 (17:46):
I would add four inches.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
A Bronco fan, and I'll live from the tyrack dot
Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
It's Ben Maller. I think he's changing his name to
a Zach Wilson fan. That's gonna be his new handle.
I don't think so. No, it's a big pickup, guys,
a number two pick in the NFL Draft. You got
him for a six round pick. I mean that's a
hell of a deal. A what a feather in the
cap for Sean Payton to go out and make that
deal so exciting. And his mom's going to be there too, right,
(18:17):
that'll be hanging out. The tabloids loved his mom in
New York. They talked a lot about that. Anyway, we
began this hour ranting about the NBA. Freddie writes in
he says, I would love to win Employee of the Month,
but that's never gonna happen either. If the NBA gives
out awards for best sucks. Anthony Davis is your winners.
(18:40):
Late Night Drug tester says, I thought I thought the
defensive player of the Year would have been lebron for
protecting ad for actually playing enough games to be eligible
for the awards. Shocking fer Dog rightes in, he says,
shouldn't Laker fans be happy with a close loss? Everyone
(19:00):
with a brain knew the Lakers did no chance against
the Nuggets. The only question was how competitive this year's
sweep would be. That well, that's right. These first two
games have been good losses for the for the Lakers,
solid losses, clearly, Yeah, can't close the Neil Neil right
Since says, speaking of sports personalities, we need Keith Oberman
(19:21):
back on TV. The guy's meltdowns on social media comedy goal. Yeah,
I think that's probably over with. I think that's over
with there with Oberman. Uh, he was a big star
out here in LA local TV before he went to ESPN.
Midnight Walker writes in from Syracuse. He says, up by
five with thirty seconds to play, How could Philly let
(19:42):
that game slip away? Grievance will be filed, but that
games in the books. Down two games to none, The
Sixers are cooked? Why the Grievers ben? Yeah, it's very upset,
very angry. Let's call the phone so we'll say hello
to any meenie miney Moe. Let's say hello to Sam,
(20:04):
who's in San Francisco. What's going on? Sam? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Sam, thank you, thank you, great to talk to you,
and sir, how are you?
Speaker 10 (20:13):
Sam?
Speaker 1 (20:14):
You want to break down that Warrior playoff game, Sam? No,
you can't. There's no playoff game to break there's no
playoff game to break down. There's nothing to break down.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
So the playing game is not the playoffs. I guess, okay,
all right.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
No it's not. The NBA doesn't count it. That's a
great that's a great point. The NBA is so stupid
they say, it's not the playoffs, it's not the regular season.
It's something else. It's it's a spot, but we're not
sure what spot it is. It's very weird.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Oh well, if that sucks even more. Anyway, I wanted
to talk about baseball before.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I get talking base ball. Yeah, that's let's talk some ball.
Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
We don't talk ball, Okay, before I get into that, though,
real quick, Coop the Loop. You need those four inches
because every time you pick up the phone, you act
like you got seven.
Speaker 10 (21:04):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Look at that man's attacking you. Look at Sam's attacking you,
Cooper Loop, I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
What do you mean we produced the lines? Bro, Why
don't you be nice when.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
You pick out?
Speaker 6 (21:18):
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Are you mean to the customer's coop?
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Are you rude to the people to call in here?
Speaker 9 (21:23):
He's just mad because when I answered the phone, I said,
Ben Malors show this and he said he said, he
said Sam, And I said, no, this is the Ben
Malor show. And he goes, no, I'm saying my name
is Sam, And I said, well, you put a question
mark at the.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
End of Sam. Is that? What would you Sam? Would
you say it like?
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Oh wow?
Speaker 1 (21:40):
He called you? Oh oh, coop just hung up by
Oh my god, he hung up bot. Yeah, good job.
Cuss at the call screen or moron. Well, you do
get to do that once you're allowed. You're allowed to
do that one time and then that's kick them off
the air. What's a curse? Well, I mean to get
(22:02):
on the air and rip you and now, yeah, you'll
never let him on the air again. Yeah, exactly, it's
banned there. But Sam, next time you call up, we'll
give you like a massage, you know, bottle of wine.
What do you want beg to lay down on? No? Blanket.
You need a blanket. He can have the cockroach from
last night. It's not there. I did see though, somebody
(22:24):
left the door open to that studio, so if the
cockroach wants to go in the studio will not be
stopped at the door. The door is open to get
into that old studio. So I wait, the cockroach is
still there. No, no, no, the door's open though. They
the door is open. They're they're building. I think that's
for cowherd or something. They're building a studio over him,
his own little private studio. Yeah, why do we get
(22:48):
my own studio? When's that happen? When's that happened? When
do I get in my own studio? I need my
own studio. Do you have your own? Do you have
your own studio? It's in your house, I know, but
they forced me to come in here a couple of
times a week, so I haven't told that. They're working
on it on the on the for their efforting. Yeah,
I could see your name in big lights behind your head. Yeah,
that'd be great. That's a great idea. Yeah, we could
add that right rather than this thing that's behind me

Speaker 10 (25:49):
Ship when a.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Fire? Can we say the word crap? Can we say crap?
Can we poopoo? Can we say doo doo? All right?
How about I come up with options instead of saying
the yes word, which again I think we should be
allowed to say. I'm pro S word. I'm on team
S word. I would like to see us be allowed
to say it. My bosses they don't. If it was
(26:18):
up to me, I just let you say it. I
don't care. It's a safe harbor we're on in the
middle of the night. But I do not want our
friend Loreena to get a phone call. She needs to
sleep and he does not need to be awoken by
an angry boss. So that is why. But there are
there are like literally hundreds of ways to say and
(26:40):
many of them are much funnier than the S word.
Speaker 10 (26:43):
Right.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
What about dingleberry. Dingleberry is a great word, good word.
That is a fine I've used the word dingle bear.
It's a great word. You can go dingleberry and that.
People laugh when they hear dingleberry. It's hard not to.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Laugh when you hear that, right, it's just impossible. Anyway,
that's go back to the phones. Why not? I don't
see how many times we can use the dump button? Scared,
calm down? Everything be okay. Let's say hello to Mark
the full name guy in Medford, Organ, Hello, Mark the Yes, Yes,
what you know?
Speaker 10 (27:16):
The S word actually originates it's an actually an acronym
for a store high in transit, in reference to fertilizer
being shipped across the ocean.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, well you just meant you could use the word excrement.
You know, that was some real I almost lost my extrement.
That's a big word. How about I almost lost my dungue.
That would be funny, right, that's a fun word. Dung
is a good word. I use manure. I like the
word manure. I use fertilizer. Those are interchangeable cow patties.
(27:58):
I almost lost my cow patt that's a fun one, right, Oh,
col pies. That's right, Cal You're you're more of an
expert than I am. Mark.
Speaker 12 (28:07):
Yeah, well, I guess I've been at it longer than you.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Have, I guess. So how about metal muffins? Yeah, I
lost my metal muffins. That's a good one too, right, Yeah,
all right, Now here's here's a reference. I've used this
a few times going back. This goes back to the
Civil War in America, the Tennessee trots. You know what
(28:31):
the Tennessee Trotza is, Mark.
Speaker 10 (28:33):
Yeah, I can't imagine.
Speaker 5 (28:35):
It isn't like the.
Speaker 10 (28:38):
Standards.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Oh yeah, well i've heard the as this is the
Tennessee Trotz is dysentery. It's uh which I'm told you
don't want to.
Speaker 12 (28:47):
Have, no very Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Sure, all right, now that we've turned the show into
a poop fest, how can we help you?
Speaker 12 (28:55):
Well, now, you know, I was thinking, I haven't been
to Magice Gordon in quite some time. I left New
York years and years ago, decades ago. But I had
fun going there when I did uh Rangers hockey back
in the day when it was only a six team league,
(29:17):
back in the old Madison Square Garden. And now the
Nick arrangements are both want some.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
So now when you would you walk there? Would you
take a cab or would you take the train independ station?
What was your movie?
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Look at that? Oh man, unbelievable, amazing. All right, thank you?
(29:57):
All right, that's enough. There he goes, Marty full name guy.
Where he goes, Well, you'd have to follow him to
find out where he goes. I don't know. I'm not
his mother. I don't know where he's no idea. Kathy
and Madison writes in and says, hey, Benny, the jet
what about bowls at or scat means the same thing?
(30:22):
Can also jazz jazzing up the term I think is
wishing meant jazzing up the term and singing it. So
you know, this is a very important issue of Kathy
and Madison is sending us alternatives to the word pooh.
So thank you. And another guy from Montana the Saint,
I thought that would have been a good call. How
about bowel movement? You can do bowel movement, right, that's allowed.
(30:44):
It's allowed. Right, you can say that. You can definitely
say that. Yeah, Eddie says that all the time off there, right,
doesn't he say that a lot? He's a very very
big mouth. You could even say, yeah, you can say
turd burger, Yes, that's funny, turd berger, turd ferguson, that's
a movie reference.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
You.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
There's a lot of ways you can say the back
to the basketball, I guess this is plausibly a sports show.
So we had Joel enbi We played a little clip
of Joel nbi. I don't know if you paid attention
to it. The Sixers are down two to zero. They
blew a five point lead in thirty seconds, actually twenty
seven seconds, but he claims Joel embiid claims that the
(31:22):
Sixers are the better team than the Knickerbockers. So them
played like it, but he claims they're the better team.
And then you have Devin Booker. The Sons got run
off the court. They were mopped by the Minnesota basketball team.
The t Wolves mopped them in their Game one. And
he was asked about the people ripping the Suns for
(31:45):
their pathetic performance, and he said that the critics of
the Suns are quote over reacting to getting run off
the court in Game one. I do not agree. I
do not believe that you are overreacting. That was completely unexpected.
(32:07):
Minnesota is supposed to be the team that's lacking the
playoff pedigree, the rank and file, the core of that team.
I'm talking about aunt Anthony Edwards. Not a lot of
time marinating in the NBA playoffs. When you look at
the Suns with Durant and all the playoff games, Devin
Booker was in the finals a couple of years ago
with the Suns and the core of the Suns with
(32:30):
a wink and a nod to Bradley Beal, although even
he's been in some playoff games, but the guys have
been in more opportunities and so you normally expect them
to be okay, and I get run off the court
the way they were in that game. All right? Is
the Ben Mahlord Show. As we continue, I'm gonna have
Mallard of the third degree time now though for the
instead trivia, and we'll go to basketball for this. Blank
(32:54):
is considered one of the top young stars in the NBA,
but in the playoff this person has fifteen turnovers and
eight assists, which I do not believe is good. Again,
Blank considered one of the top young stars in the NBA,
but in the playoffs he's got fifteen turnovers, and eight
(33:14):
assists so far, not particularly good. That is the insta tribute.
The answer, We'll get to it. We'll do it next.
Speaker 6 (33:22):

Speaker 1 (33:59):
And here's the install trivia. Go to Basketball Pro bouncy
Ball where Blank is considered one of the top young
stars in the NBA, but in the playoffs playoffs has
fifteen turnovers and eight assists. Not getting it done at
this particular time. That is the instant trivia. What is
(34:22):
the answer, mister nice guy? Going with the great Pat Tabler,
of the nineteen eighty seven Cleveland Indians. Who else do
we have? Late night drug tester says Shabbaz Mohammed of
the Timberwolves. Interesting guests. Who else do we have? Alf
the Alien opiner going with our former morning guy Mark
Patrick on Sports mp OS. You know why Alf, you're
(34:45):
in the big chair. That's why Mark Patrick. I remember
when Mark dere Morning Show and he said, Hey, my
kid's pretty good at baseball. What do you think you know?
He sent me some clips of his son, who went
on to be the closer for the Washington Nationals. I
think he made an All Star game. Drew Storren the
kid's name. Robin Vegas says, Seth Freakin' Rollins from rob
(35:10):
That's from Robin Vegas. As I said, who else do
we have? Frank Shorter from Robin, Minnesota. A lot of Robs.
Matt the Warrior Raider fan is a blatant cheater. That's
why all those teams left. He got it right. King
Rory says, Billy Hoyle is the answer. Sam from the
Bay Area, I guess by Mallard prop guy, that's his answer.
(35:33):
Zion Williamson from Double O Mexican in San Diego. That's
like something that Justed in Cincinnati would say that it's
justin awake. I don't know, maybe sleepy Luca Garza from
Ekeon Roseville, Minnesota. Stevie Meatball says Tyler Turdberger. Hero is
the way to go. John going with the Oshkosh North
(35:56):
dirt bag Tyrese Haliburton as his answer, Horse Shack from
Andy from lion O Lakes. That's his answer, Eddie. What's
that you? Eddie?
Speaker 8 (36:07):
I'm gonna go with the former Detroit Tiger slugger Bobby Higginson.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Oh Higgey. Uh, that's incorrect, Eddie, b you. The correct
answer is the following blank Considered one of the top
young stars in the NBA, but the playoff fifteen turnovers,
eight assists not particularly good. That would be Paulo bon
Cheryl your lio magic. Here we go, Here, here we go.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
This is one gets great.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Yes, Cooper Loop, Well, Ben, we're gonna we're gonna do
two questions today.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Okay, you already answered one of them. All right, good.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
The Chargers are betting favorites to land Jim Harbaugh's old
running back from Michigan, Blake Korham Do Some mock drafts
have Krum being the first run back off the board
in the second round. Others have Korum as low as
the fifth best back in the draft and going in
the third round. Ben, How do you think Korum transitions
into the pros?
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
I think he'll be all right. The better question though, here, Coop,
is is Jim Harbaugh being legit with the football media.
Is he really trying to get all of his Michigan
guys together with the Chargers or is this all a ruse? Like?
What is the truth there? Because there's there's reports that
they want JJ McCarthy. They already have a quarterback and
(37:30):
they you know, they want the want the offensive lineman
from Michigan. Is that all just a bull crap? Or
is that really what Jim Harball wants? That's the better question.
I think Kram will be all right, but he doesn't
running backs it's a temporary job. Even if you're good,
you're a temp in the NFL.
Speaker 9 (37:44):
Next, the Cleveland Guardians are the best record in the
AL and have the best point differential in all of baseball.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I think he's called run differential, Coop. But I don't
want to touch up your work there. But yeah, you
know whatever. Do you think the Guardians are contenders? Are pretenders? Well,
they are contenders because they have locate location location. I
know the Royals are playing better than expected, but they
think the White Sox are horrifically bad. I don't think
the Tigers are that good. So that's a bad division.
(38:11):
So by default they are in a playoff position. Now,
do they have a lot of name brand players? No,
Most average fans could not name more than a couple
players in the Guardians. They're in this group. How don't
we know? No, you said you I corrected your work, Coop.
You said, but you screwed up. I agree with that.
