Boom shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dub birtwo. Our number two is ready for you.
Back at it in the magic audio box and here
an hour number two yay or nay on Knicks coach
Tom Thibodeau being on the hot seat after the playoff
elimination over the weekend against Indiana. Also, Nick players and
(00:24):
coaches reportedly frustrated with Karl Anthony Towns and his defensive habits,
his poor defensive habits. Give me your reaction to that?
And what is your level of excitement for the Pacers
versus the thunder Our first peak at the NBA Finals
matchup which will take place later this week. That and
more right now give it up for our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Gone in a ne York minute.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Welcome in not beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are in the a m where audio blokes.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
As we are just like you like it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The sports takes are on point unless they're not unless
they missed. The bullseye coast to coast border, the motor
and beyond on the mast and rowdally powerful microphones of
fs are emminating live from the Fade the Fade Away
Jumper from the Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved by Hoosier,
(01:31):
Bill and Parizo, who know that this portion of the
Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our friends
at tire Rack That's Right. For forty years, tire Rack
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like
(01:54):
mobile tire installation, tire rac dot Com the Way Tire
Buying Show. So our lead this hour is from pro
bouncy Ball Now. Over the weekend, while we were being
spoiled at a bougie dinner in Vancouver, the New York
Knickerbockers went cup put see you later, That's it, and
(02:18):
I was being impolite. I was allowed though our friend
Nico allowed me to check my phone. I was keeping
updated on the score. And then I went back and
I had some free time and I watched on the
NBA's website. They actually let you watch most of these
games on their website. So I went back on and
watched it, and the Pacers decommissioned Jalen Brunson and the Knicks,
(02:41):
sending them to can Kuhn vacation mode. There as Tyrese
Halliburton did not win the Most Valuable Player, much to
his surprise. Our friend and the greatest drop in the
history of the show, as provided by marcel In Brooklyn
Pascal Siakam the Eastern Conference Finals MVP. As Indiana advances
(03:04):
and they will take on OKC in the NBA Finals,
we have plenty of time to give them their flowers,
and we'll do some of that. We'll take our first
peak little peek a boo at the NBA Finals in
a minute. But you know the story here, the better story,
that's right, the better story in the losing locker room.
As our friends from the Big Apple have gone into
(03:26):
full meltdown mode.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Alarm bells are being sounded.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Say it ain't so all of that because of the
way the Knicks lost.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They lost the first.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Two games at home and they end up losing the
series in six games to Indiana, a series they were
heavily favored to win. Now, Tom Thibodeau is the one
getting the brunt of the anger the range, as a
number of fans calling for his head on a platter.
They would like him to lose his ob despite being
(04:01):
a couple of wins away from the NBA Finals. The
Natives are restless in Gotham. So let us discuss the
question yay or nay, yay ornay on coach Tom Thibodeau
being on the hot seat as the Knicks are exterminated
from the postseason. So I've got McDonald's allergic reaction and soybeans,
(04:27):
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We're gonna make the gobbagool is.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What we're gonna do, all right, So number why, I
said number why, So I am in the nay category.
Now I do realize that coaches are expendable. They are
like plastic forks. You use them and then throw them away.
They're not meant to be used more than one time.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I got that. However, I like the way that Tom.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Thibodeaux teams play guilty as charged your honor, I do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I like the way his teams play.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And you can fire Tom Thibodeau and bring in some
other jibbroni and all that, But I don't know how
you do that when you've already celebrated your championship. Remember
the New York Nick fan base had their championship. They
beat the Boston Celtics in the second round and tada, champions.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We are the.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Champions of the world. They had to celebrated. I think
they had the parade through the Canyon of Heroes. I
can't confirm that or not. I wasn't there. There were
rumors that were going to do that. They were throwing
trash at Pacer fans, the vermin in Manhattan so and
also Brian Winhorse got attacked by some of these geniuses there.
So you celebrate your championship. You're not supposed to play
(05:50):
another game after you win your championship. When you win
the Super Bowl, you don't have to play again. When
you win the NBA Championship and beat the Celtics like
the Knicks did, you're not supposed.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
To have to play again. So that's the problem here.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And so the little celebration in the Canyon of Heroes
and congratulations on these are the same fans. Though after
that moment where they beat the Celtics, they were ready
to rip apart some subway car, some MTA subway medal
off the cars there, and they were going to rip
those off and build a statue out of that medal
(06:24):
from some disowned subway car for Thibodeau. And since they
lost to the Pacers, now it's like you got to
get out of here, you know. Since the Pacers zoom
past them, that's it. It's over. And when you break
it down, the Knicks actually overachieved.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Who are you talking about me? Over? Okay they did.
Now they beat this out.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And now I'm not gonna say they beat the Cellies
because of Jason Tatum getting hurt, because they were ahead
in that series even when Tatum got hurt.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They had a choke hold on that series. So that's
not it. But if you look at Nick Ross, you've got.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Jalen Brunson, who's verified good, Karl Anthony Towns who spotty
but talented, and aside from that Tom Thibodeau. You look
at the rest of the Knicks roster there and it's.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Not totally patchwork.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
There's some gritty, blue collar players and all that, which
is what Tom Thibodeau generally likes to put.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Out in the court.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They got about where they should have gone Eastern Conference Finals,
that's about where the talent.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Would lead them to beas well.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Indiana, it wasn't their time, Well, it was their time
because they played better than expected, so it was the time.
But to think this franchise, it's wild to me that
that franchise in the biggest media market in America has
not won a title since Richard Nixon was in office
before the Watergate scandal.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And they get close, they have a little taste, just
a little nibble, say, going to Costco, getting a sample,
little nibble there, and then poof, they don't win the
whole thing.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They thought they won. They didn't win. The Nick fan.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Said, we beat the Celtics, that's our championship. They didn't
get the championship trophy. They're all upset. They have a
temper tantum like a toddler that went to McDonald's and
had a conniption fit because they didn't get their little championship, ringing.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Their happy meal. That's the Nick fan right there. That's it.
That's the Nick fan.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Go throw some trash on somebody else, you classy Nick fans,
all right now, patre So, it's not just the coaching shrapnel,
as Tom Thibodeau feeling the heat there, the Nick players
and coaches collectively putting their venom towards one person in particular,
who would that person be.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'll give you a clue.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Kitty, Kitty Kitty, that's right, Karl Anthony Towns. Karl Anthony Towns,
and several several detailed accounts documenting the defensive issues of
Carl Anthony Towns, longtime Minnesota timber wolf who came to
the Knicks in the off season. So give me your
(09:09):
reaction to multiple reports pointing the finger of.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Shame and blame at Karl Anthony Town's.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
So my reaction is stutterer with a capital S.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Stutterer right, Who could not have seen that one coming?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Wait, anyone that's been paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
To Karl Anthony Towns during his NBA career nicknamed Kitty
Kat the feline of fun, Karl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
And so I think I'm correct in saying, what do
I know? I just do the Opennight show.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I think that is how Carl Anthony Towns has played
his entire career and finally the Minnesota and that there
were some financial reasons Minnesota got rid of him. However,
part of it also was the maddening way that he plays,
and if you look at his.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Body of work, he was the number one overall pick.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Because of his offensive ability, and he's a big guy,
can shoot from the outside and make a lot of
big baskets for you and all that stuff. He's got
a nice touch around the rim and so those are
all really cool things and people love that stuff. And
he does vanish at times in big games. However, on
the other end of the court. Now, by no means
(10:25):
are we defensive savants, but we do know just from
paying attention having to watch these games on a daily basis,
you might as well with Karl Anthony Towns for about
thirty to forty percent of the game, you might as
well go out there and put in Instead of putting
a nick jersey, you just put an orange traffic cone
out there and that's it. And you can put a
(10:47):
jersey on it if you want, But you just put
an orange traffic cone out there, and at least the
cone will stay in its position. You put it there,
you put the cone down, The cone's not going to
move unless someone kicks the cone. The cone, the orange
traffic cone's going to stay there. And so Carl any Towns,
he has a allergic reaction to defense and being in
(11:10):
the right place is supposed to be and there's a
bit of poetry in motion. When you play defense in basketball,
you're counting on your teammates being where they're supposed to
be and then it all works together and all that stuff.
And it is ironic that the coach had him.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Tibbs had him in Minnesota, knew what he was getting.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
They pick up Carl Anthony Towns, and a coach that
is all about defense, keep hearing, a defensive guy and
all that stuff. He wants gritty players. And they went
out and traded to get Karl Anthony Towns, and so
he doesn't play any defense for thirty or forty percent
of the game and all of a sudden, it's like.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
What are we doing here? And so the next dude,
you think they're gonna get rid of Carl Anthony.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
No, they're not going to trade him, not this year,
not this offseason. That would be a stunner. They got
to figure out a way to cover up that blind spot.
And if they can't figure it out, then eventually they
will get rid of him after this upcoming season. But
they know going in that Carl Anthony Towns is a
defensive liability. And if you're the other team and you're
(12:15):
going against the Knicks, you can take advantage of Carl
Anthony Towns as a soft spot. You can attack all
right now, final point, turning the page. It's NBA Finals time.
Now We've got copy later in the hour for pick
six from draftings. This was a matchup designed for that. Okay,
(12:38):
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm like, oh,
you should.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't work for the NBA. You should be a cheerleader, don't.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I mean, I got a show to do, so I'm
gonna watch and that's fine. And there's a couple of
things I'm into, but other than that, not so much.
So First Peak, Little Peak Aboo, First peak NBA Finals matchup,
which starts later this week. What is your level of excitement?
Level of excitement for the Pacers and the Thunder Small
(13:07):
Market USA in the NBA Finals on the showcase showdown,
So what is your level of excitement for the Pacers
versus the Thunder. So after a minutes long Malard deliberation,
taking in all factors, all the details, all of it,
we determined on a scale of one to ten, with
(13:28):
ten being must see TV, Must see TV. That's like,
you know, Kobe back in the day, Michael Jordan back
in the must see TV, not even Lebron is man person.
I'm going wait before that, So this matchup gets a toe.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I am at a two for.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The NBA Finals matchup, and the only reason I'm giving
it to two is because we have a member of
the Clippers Alumni Association SGA who won the MVP this
year now can cap it all off by winning a championship.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Other than that, Other.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Than that, looking around here, this is a matchup that
should be on NBA TV.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know how they put like the worst games on
NBA TV during the opening round of the playoffs, they
put the top games on Network TV, and then they
put the crap on NBA TV.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
This should be on NBA TV.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
In fact, this could even be like on a podcast
that no one listens to, which is most podcasts that
no one listens to, so they can put it on
a podcast. Unless you're in I don't know, Carmel, Indiana,
or Tulsa, Oklahoma, or somewhere.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
In that radius right around there.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
This is the Finals equivalent to sitting outside your home
and you're looking around and your neighbors decided to paint
their home, and not even their home, just a fence
near your home. So it's a defence that divides your
home in their own. So they've said, okay, I'm gonna
I'm gonna paint defence. And you're sitting there watching this
(15:03):
and they've decided to paint it a nice shade of beige.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And you sit there and watch it because you.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Have nothing else to do, and so you watch it. Whoobie,
that's what you do. And I get that for some people,
it's unique. And this is by far the worst matchup
in NBA Finals history in terms of juice. There is
no juice. It's adorable for some people, and they love it, and.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They're the people that will say it's great. People are
gonna watch.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
These are the same people during the NCAA basketball tournament
get excited when nowhere you wins on the opening a
couple of days of the tournament. So you get a
bunch of crap teams that win and then it turns out, well,
people don't like to watch those teams and it's it's
a problem. But the small markets, this is their moment, right,
this is your big moment in the sun.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The NBA changed all the rules to.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Accommodate the mid size to small markets, and so you
got teams. These are good basketball towns. Indianapolis I was
the last time the Pacers were in the finals. I
was there and it was wonderful. It was a great
The town was buzzing. It was a lot of fun.
The Pacers played the Lakers, the Shaq Kobe Lakers, and
I got to go to those games in Indianapolis. I
have great memories of that. And so Oklahoma City. I've
(16:18):
been to Oklahoma City. Not a lot going on, but
you got your basketball team.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You look around.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So it's like apple beans versus Golden Corral. It's porking
eggs from Oklahoma versus what cornfields and soybeans in Indianapolis,
in Indiana in that area there, And where's the sizzle?
Is there any sizzle? Probably not like the star Power.
(16:45):
What about Halliburton, Well you got the Envybesch say, jogis Alexander,
that's your meal ticket. That's the sizzle. Really, that's like
cooking in an air fryer. You know what I'm saying.
I mean, airfriar's good. Supposely he's healthier for you. I
use the air frar. It tastes better when you put
(17:06):
in a deep frier. There's no deep fryer. It's an
air fryer. That's what this is. I mean, these guys
are nice players and for some it's a good story.
And I however, does not move the needle naturally. And
then again, this is not my problem. This is an
NBA problem. And if you love shot in Freuda, if
you want to get back at the NBA and ESPN ABC,
(17:28):
then this is wonderful. This is the ultimate fu to
ESPN ABC to put these teams in the NBA Finals
because they're going to have to make so many make goods.
Is there any man, woman or child who's a casual
observer of a sport in places like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles,
the major metropolis is of America, Dallas that is going
(17:48):
to watch this matchup.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
If you're a gambler, I get it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
If you're you got know somebody on the team, okay,
fair enough. If you're from those areas, that's fine. But
outside of that, what is the reason to watch? What
is the reason to watch? And yeah, you got your
heart old people that will tune in no matter what,
And that's fine and again not our issue. This is
(18:16):
an Adam Silver problem. We'll watch because we have a
nightly show show to do. But my goodness, holy crap,
like what is going on here? Well, we'll see, we'll
see what watches and all that. It's and we do broadcasting,
not narrow casting. That would appear to be a narrow

Speaker 2 (21:44):
But Karl Anthony towns where's underwear with blank blank in them?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
All right? Very nice? What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Let's see page dan by a lot of angry comments
from the the Pacer Marching and Chowder Society. Nature Voices.
Any updates on Benny Versus The Penny? No nothing, nothing
yet to pass on Nature Boy, but to keep good
vibrations going. Hopefully we'll hear something soon on Benny Versus
(22:12):

Speaker 1 (22:18):
Hello, Joela, welcome, Yo? What's up there is? Yeah, he's
preparing to smile. He's gonna smile right now. He's in
a good mood.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
You already know what I have to push back on you.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Hey, these niche, I mean the Pacers, they're gonna get dusted.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Okay, So he's ready to roll.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I'm here in Dallas and I'm gonna tell you right now,
my boy, Shay Giltrace is going to win MVP.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So then they don't even have to play again. Just
give him the MVP right now and we'll get ready
for the NBA Draft.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
No, no, I gotta explain. I gotta explain.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
He said it would be boring. It's gonna be electric.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
They're gonna get Well, if it's.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
A sweep, how is it going to be electric? If
is by definition? If it's a sweep. It's boring. Has
there ever been an exciting sweep in the history of basketball?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
The NBA signed you're in business with the t N
T ESPN guys.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Once they left, we knew it was the beginning.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
There.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
The NBA is in good hand. They can signed a
seventy six billion dollars deal.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, you need moving, you do.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Want You do understand though, the way that advertising works.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They promised the advertisers a certain audience for the NBA Finals,
and these people buy their advertising and then so what's
gonna end up happening is they're gonna have to give
away free commercials. And I work for a broadcast company.
There's nothing broadcast companies hate more than giving away free commercials.
Trust me, they can't stand it. It drives the executives bokers.
They have to give away free commercials.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Okay, I'm telling you this is I didn't like that
take you had that That was.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
A great take. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It was one of my better basketball takes. What do
you what was wrong with that take?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Usually they're an we gotta hear me out.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
You sit there a but I just think this is
going to be an exciting finals.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You just said it was going to be a sweep again,
make your money easier.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
It'll be exciting.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
No, can't be. Can't tell me a sweep. It's been exciting.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Oh wait, go ahead, Okay, look, we'll have those dads,
will have dad versus.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, So okay, if if we do like a wrestling match, remember.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Last time I said that we didn't have that. That
should be the b.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That'd be a good idea.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
He's hand. Yeah, I think they're a good hands.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Seriously, though, I think they're a good hands.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You gotta it's conceivable.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The problem is they how do these guys resonate with
not us because we're basketball.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Fans, we're older, we're a little older.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I know, yeah, we're a little.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know, we're hip, we're cool, we're debonair, right, we
got life behind us and you know, little life ahead
of us.
Speaker 1 (24:52):

Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'll read Wikipedia pages.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I'll go through Wikipedia and hit random pages and read
them all.
Speaker 1 (25:26):

They're the same guy. One plays football, one played basketball.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But golly, Zion, Yeah, Zion had a tough week Zion
had a tough weekend, but I'm sure he made up
for it with some nice nice He probably had a
nice meal, so he's better now.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
So you know, it'll be a tough decade for him
if he keeps.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
It up, it won't be that tough because he'll be
out of the back. He'll be out of the NBA,
so you don't have to worry about it.

So the NBA Finals, the NBA Finals, they don't they
don't begin until what do we got three more days here?

We'll get traded for Zion or honest.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well, considering what happened over the weekend, I'm going to say, uh.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
And it's not criminal, so it's just a lawsuit against Zion,
so it's.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Not like the draft coming up.

Fox Sports radio listener, So that was nice. Let's go

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Backhanded shot that you took there.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You don't get you don't get it.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
You don't get up in the clouds enough to trigger this.
But a fair system for NFL quarterbacks would be, you know,
welcome to the week one and if they'll random quarterback
laundry and you got a ball with everybod's name went
pumps up and you got two take a low, go
into the to the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Now, imagine if tuisag of Lois and other random quarterbacks
played against each other back to back weeks on force,
you know, each on two suber teams. That's a fair system.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You're proposing that like before the season, like a week
to go each week everywhere every week.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Okay, that's better because it nurses you know what that is.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's a video game. You can do that on a
video game, can't you?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (29:30):

loved you to try to get the metaphorical intercourse on
the myself on the radio, and then I would I
would get it for you. I smoke a cigarette. I'd
laugh as I I slated it off. You said sweet
earlier they got sweet. It was sweat, dude. It's hard
as they get fleet. The current hits verb very difficult.

You got a party mouth span.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Here's a fun fact about Lou Dort. You want a
fun fact about lou Dort. Fun fact, Lou Dort, fun fact.
Another Canadian, another Canadian basketball player. Yeah, okay, see the
team of Canada. And I didn't and at that mean
gry we did in Vancouver. I did not get to
sense any of those people in Vancouver were pulling for
(30:58):
the Oklahoma City Thunder because of of loud Dort and SGA.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
But he was.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Born in Montreal, Lude Dort, and he was an athlete
in Ontario. So he moved from Quebec at some point
to Ontario and the rest, as they say, is his story.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It is the Ben Mather Show. And asleep on the job.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Over the weekend, the Dodgers were beating the pulp out
of the Yankees so much, how much that they caught
show Haltani a sleep in the dugout. He fell asleep,
that's malfeasance. Otani was catching a snooze in the dugout.
It reminded me of years ago doing the weekend overnight
(31:47):
show and one of our update guys we went to
the update and he didn't talk, but he was in
the update studio, the old update studio, and I remember
the boardops like, hey, he's not he's not talking, but
he's there on the mic. And so I went over
and he had fallen asleep with the mic on and
(32:09):
was snoozing, like right in the middle, like sitting up, Yeah,
sitting up on the mic, ready to talk.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
A talented actually, and he was like that. It wasn't a.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Full hollering James, but it was a it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Was that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And yeah, that was very interesting. We thought maybe he
was having a medical condition, but it was just he
was tired. So and he's I haven't seen him in years.
He's got some website he still does. But it was interesting.
It was interesting. So Tony fallen asleep. I've not fallen
asleep while doing the show. I've wanted to fall asleep
while doing the show. I have not fallen asleep while
(32:46):
doing the show. That has not happened. I did mention
this last hour. I didn't pay it off. So the
Colorado Rockies the first team ever to lose fifty games,
before winning ten in baseball since nineteen on one. Dick
Monford perfect name for the owner of the Rockies, Dick
anyway before there be a little taste of that Dick.
(33:08):
Before the twenty twenty three season, somebody clipped and saved
this comedy.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Said, what the Padres are doing? Spending all this money?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
What the Padres are doing, I don't one hundred percent
agree with though I know that our fans probably agree
with it. The Rockies penny pinching owner said, we'll see
how it works out.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Since then, they've kept the receipts clip and saved. Since
the Rockies owner questioned the direction of the San Diego
Padres baseball team, the Padres since that date are thirty
four games above five hundred. The Colorado Rockies since that
comment by the Rockies owner are one hundred and twenty
(33:47):
five games below five hundred. The Colorado Rockies are one
hundred and twenty five games below five hundred. The Podres
are thirty four games above five hundred. Who goofed, I've
got to know, well, that would be the owner of
the baseball team there in Colorado. Must be making a
lot of money from TV and whatnot. We have Mallard
(34:08):
of the third degree. We'll get to that coming up
in a moment. Time now for the Insta trivia. So
over the weekend, Aaron Judge became the seventh player since
at least nineteen oh six to have multiple home runs
in a game when his team lost by at least
sixteen runs. And you say, stat Bandico.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I knew you could. Blank was the last to do it.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Again over the weekend, Aaron Judge became the seventh player
since at least nineteen oh six to have multiple home
home runs in a game when his team lost by
at least sixteen runs.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Blank was the last player to do it prior to
Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
That is the Insta Tribua the answer and Mallard of
a third degree.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
We'll get to it and we will do it next.

oh six to have multiple home runs in a game
where his team lost by at least sixteen Can you
say stet Bendito who blank was the last to do it?
That is the question? What is the answer? And let's
see does anyone know the answer? Busta rhymes from far
(36:12):
Out Dave Ronnie Fossio. There's a blast in the past
from Bill on the great high school coaches around Mexican
John Dutton going with my weed dealer, Bill Miller sucks.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
That was answered by Mike who else do we have?
Page down?
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Dudley do Right from Alf the Alien, O Piner, Haul
Cogan from Scrooge Nelson Cruz guess by Eke Reggie Jackson
from Malibu, Rubin Frank Howard from I forty Ian.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Who else do we have? Paige Down? Can't read that?
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Cal Raley of the Mariners from Andy and lion Ol Lakes, Minnesota.
Page down, Pete Lecoq from Rob and Minnesota. Ken, that's
a baseball player, Ken Camminetti from Double Omexican Art Lorrainea.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Do you have an answer? It's not Adam Dunn guests
by Jordan. It's gotta be Jojo Siwa Ben Okay, great answer. No,
it's Christian Scares.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Of the Red Sox back in twenty twenty two, Red
Sox lost twenty eight to five.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
You're two almosts here we go. It's maller. How about that?
To the third degree?
Speaker 3 (37:12):
This is one that gets hard.
Speaker 6 (37:15):
Late last week, Jason Kelsey suggested on his podcast that
a team representing the NFL and a team representing flag
football players, so you know, likes professional flag football players
have a game to determine who the twenty twenty eight
US Olympic team will be.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Ben, what do you think of this idea?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
It's a terrible idea because the NFL players would lose
and that would be embarrassing. And the NFL wants their
players in the game. So no, that's a terrible idea.
These people play flag football all the time. They're good
at it. The NFL players aren't. They played tackle football.
It's a different sport. The NFL is good. They want
their players in the Olympics, and that's a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Next.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
John Harbaugh recently spoke with the media and said that
he wants to see tight end Isaiah Likely being All
Pro next season and that he is very capable of
doing it.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Ben, do you think Likely can be an All Pro?
Tight ends? So the Chargers coach thinks one of his
players should be an All Pro? Shouldn't they all be
All Pro? Shouldn't you want everyone to be? Shouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
I mean, if you're the the Ravens, rather wouldn't want
everyone to be an All Pro?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yes? Lamar Jackson loves tight ends, so yes, absolutely. Next.
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Kirby Smart said over the weekend that he thinks the
biggest issue with college football is the timing or the
transfer portal windows right now there are two, when in
December one and April Smart says they should only be
one and that other coaches unanimously agree.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
That is he right about it being the biggest issue.
But it's a giant problem. It's not the it's one
of the biggest issues. Let's put it that way. They
got to fix that's ridiculous. How do we do He
passes Thursday when put it on the board,
Boom shaka laka.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our dub birtwo. Our number two is ready for you.
Back at it in the magic audio box and here
an hour number two yay or nay on Knicks coach
Tom Thibodeau being on the hot seat after the playoff
elimination over the weekend against Indiana. Also, Nick players and
(00:24):
coaches reportedly frustrated with Karl Anthony Towns and his defensive habits,
his poor defensive habits. Give me your reaction to that?
And what is your level of excitement for the Pacers
versus the thunder Our first peak at the NBA Finals
matchup which will take place later this week. That and
more right now give it up for our number two.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Gone in a ne York minute.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Welcome in not beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are in the a m where audio blokes.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
As we are just like you like it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
The sports takes are on point unless they're not unless
they missed. The bullseye coast to coast border, the motor
and beyond on the mast and rowdally powerful microphones of
fs are emminating live from the Fade the Fade Away
Jumper from the Fox Sports Radio Studios as approved by Hoosier,
(01:31):
Bill and Parizo, who know that this portion of the
Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our friends
at tire Rack That's Right. For forty years, tire Rack
has been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
by free road hazard protection, with convenient installation options like
(01:54):
mobile tire installation, tire rac dot Com the Way Tire
Buying Show. So our lead this hour is from pro
bouncy Ball Now. Over the weekend, while we were being
spoiled at a bougie dinner in Vancouver, the New York
Knickerbockers went cup put see you later, That's it, and
(02:18):
I was being impolite. I was allowed though our friend
Nico allowed me to check my phone. I was keeping
updated on the score. And then I went back and
I had some free time and I watched on the
NBA's website. They actually let you watch most of these
games on their website. So I went back on and
watched it, and the Pacers decommissioned Jalen Brunson and the Knicks,
(02:41):
sending them to can Kuhn vacation mode. There as Tyrese
Halliburton did not win the Most Valuable Player, much to
his surprise. Our friend and the greatest drop in the
history of the show, as provided by marcel In Brooklyn
Pascal Siakam the Eastern Conference Finals MVP. As Indiana advances
(03:04):
and they will take on OKC in the NBA Finals,
we have plenty of time to give them their flowers,
and we'll do some of that. We'll take our first
peak little peek a boo at the NBA Finals in
a minute. But you know the story here, the better story,
that's right, the better story in the losing locker room.
As our friends from the Big Apple have gone into
(03:26):
full meltdown mode.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Alarm bells are being sounded.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Say it ain't so all of that because of the
way the Knicks lost.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
They lost the first.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Two games at home and they end up losing the
series in six games to Indiana, a series they were
heavily favored to win. Now, Tom Thibodeau is the one
getting the brunt of the anger the range, as a
number of fans calling for his head on a platter.
They would like him to lose his ob despite being
(04:01):
a couple of wins away from the NBA Finals. The
Natives are restless in Gotham. So let us discuss the
question yay or nay, yay ornay on coach Tom Thibodeau
being on the hot seat as the Knicks are exterminated
from the postseason. So I've got McDonald's allergic reaction and soybeans,
(04:27):
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are gonna make the gobbagool.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
We're gonna make the gobbagool is.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
What we're gonna do, all right, So number why, I
said number why, So I am in the nay category.
Now I do realize that coaches are expendable. They are
like plastic forks. You use them and then throw them away.
They're not meant to be used more than one time.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
I got that. However, I like the way that Tom.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Thibodeaux teams play guilty as charged your honor, I do.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I like the way his teams play.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
And you can fire Tom Thibodeau and bring in some
other jibbroni and all that, But I don't know how
you do that when you've already celebrated your championship. Remember
the New York Nick fan base had their championship. They
beat the Boston Celtics in the second round and tada, champions.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
We are the.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Champions of the world. They had to celebrated. I think
they had the parade through the Canyon of Heroes. I
can't confirm that or not. I wasn't there. There were
rumors that were going to do that. They were throwing
trash at Pacer fans, the vermin in Manhattan so and
also Brian Winhorse got attacked by some of these geniuses there.
So you celebrate your championship. You're not supposed to play
(05:50):
another game after you win your championship. When you win
the Super Bowl, you don't have to play again. When
you win the NBA Championship and beat the Celtics like
the Knicks did, you're not supposed.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
To have to play again. So that's the problem here.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
And so the little celebration in the Canyon of Heroes
and congratulations on these are the same fans. Though after
that moment where they beat the Celtics, they were ready
to rip apart some subway car, some MTA subway medal
off the cars there, and they were going to rip
those off and build a statue out of that medal
(06:24):
from some disowned subway car for Thibodeau. And since they
lost to the Pacers, now it's like you got to
get out of here, you know. Since the Pacers zoom
past them, that's it. It's over. And when you break
it down, the Knicks actually overachieved.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Who are you talking about me? Over? Okay they did.
Now they beat this out.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
And now I'm not gonna say they beat the Cellies
because of Jason Tatum getting hurt, because they were ahead
in that series even when Tatum got hurt.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They had a choke hold on that series. So that's
not it. But if you look at Nick Ross, you've got.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Jalen Brunson, who's verified good, Karl Anthony Towns who spotty
but talented, and aside from that Tom Thibodeau. You look
at the rest of the Knicks roster there and it's.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Not totally patchwork.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
There's some gritty, blue collar players and all that, which
is what Tom Thibodeau generally likes to put.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Out in the court.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
They got about where they should have gone Eastern Conference Finals,
that's about where the talent.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Would lead them to beas well.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Indiana, it wasn't their time, Well, it was their time
because they played better than expected, so it was the time.
But to think this franchise, it's wild to me that
that franchise in the biggest media market in America has
not won a title since Richard Nixon was in office
before the Watergate scandal.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
It's crazy to me.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And they get close, they have a little taste, just
a little nibble, say, going to Costco, getting a sample,
little nibble there, and then poof, they don't win the
whole thing.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
They thought they won. They didn't win. The Nick fan.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Said, we beat the Celtics, that's our championship. They didn't
get the championship trophy. They're all upset. They have a
temper tantum like a toddler that went to McDonald's and
had a conniption fit because they didn't get their little championship, ringing.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Their happy meal. That's the Nick fan right there. That's it.
That's the Nick fan.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Go throw some trash on somebody else, you classy Nick fans,
all right now, patre So, it's not just the coaching shrapnel,
as Tom Thibodeau feeling the heat there, the Nick players
and coaches collectively putting their venom towards one person in particular,
who would that person be.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I'll give you a clue.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Kitty, Kitty Kitty, that's right, Karl Anthony Towns. Karl Anthony Towns,
and several several detailed accounts documenting the defensive issues of
Carl Anthony Towns, longtime Minnesota timber wolf who came to
the Knicks in the off season. So give me your
(09:09):
reaction to multiple reports pointing the finger of.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Shame and blame at Karl Anthony Town's.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
So my reaction is stutterer with a capital S.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Stutterer right, Who could not have seen that one coming?
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Right? Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Wait, anyone that's been paying attention.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
To Karl Anthony Towns during his NBA career nicknamed Kitty
Kat the feline of fun, Karl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
And so I think I'm correct in saying, what do
I know? I just do the Opennight show.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
I think that is how Carl Anthony Towns has played
his entire career and finally the Minnesota and that there
were some financial reasons Minnesota got rid of him. However,
part of it also was the maddening way that he plays,
and if you look at his.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Body of work, he was the number one overall pick.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Because of his offensive ability, and he's a big guy,
can shoot from the outside and make a lot of
big baskets for you and all that stuff. He's got
a nice touch around the rim and so those are
all really cool things and people love that stuff. And
he does vanish at times in big games. However, on
the other end of the court. Now, by no means
(10:25):
are we defensive savants, but we do know just from
paying attention having to watch these games on a daily basis,
you might as well with Karl Anthony Towns for about
thirty to forty percent of the game, you might as
well go out there and put in Instead of putting
a nick jersey, you just put an orange traffic cone
out there and that's it. And you can put a
(10:47):
jersey on it if you want, But you just put
an orange traffic cone out there, and at least the
cone will stay in its position. You put it there,
you put the cone down, The cone's not going to
move unless someone kicks the cone. The cone, the orange
traffic cone's going to stay there. And so Carl any Towns,
he has a allergic reaction to defense and being in
(11:10):
the right place is supposed to be and there's a
bit of poetry in motion. When you play defense in basketball,
you're counting on your teammates being where they're supposed to
be and then it all works together and all that stuff.
And it is ironic that the coach had him.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Tibbs had him in Minnesota, knew what he was getting.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
They pick up Carl Anthony Towns, and a coach that
is all about defense, keep hearing, a defensive guy and
all that stuff. He wants gritty players. And they went
out and traded to get Karl Anthony Towns, and so
he doesn't play any defense for thirty or forty percent
of the game and all of a sudden, it's like.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
What are we doing here? And so the next dude,
you think they're gonna get rid of Carl Anthony.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
No, they're not going to trade him, not this year,
not this offseason. That would be a stunner. They got
to figure out a way to cover up that blind spot.
And if they can't figure it out, then eventually they
will get rid of him after this upcoming season. But
they know going in that Carl Anthony Towns is a
defensive liability. And if you're the other team and you're
(12:15):
going against the Knicks, you can take advantage of Carl
Anthony Towns as a soft spot. You can attack all
right now, final point, turning the page. It's NBA Finals time.
Now We've got copy later in the hour for pick
six from draftings. This was a matchup designed for that. Okay,
(12:38):
I'm not gonna sit here and pretend I'm like, oh,
you should.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I don't work for the NBA. You should be a cheerleader, don't.
I don't care.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
I mean, I got a show to do, so I'm
gonna watch and that's fine. And there's a couple of
things I'm into, but other than that, not so much.
So First Peak, Little Peak Aboo, First peak NBA Finals matchup,
which starts later this week. What is your level of excitement?
Level of excitement for the Pacers and the Thunder Small
(13:07):
Market USA in the NBA Finals on the showcase showdown,
So what is your level of excitement for the Pacers
versus the Thunder. So after a minutes long Malard deliberation,
taking in all factors, all the details, all of it,
we determined on a scale of one to ten, with
(13:28):
ten being must see TV, Must see TV. That's like,
you know, Kobe back in the day, Michael Jordan back
in the must see TV, not even Lebron is man person.
I'm going wait before that, So this matchup gets a toe.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I am at a two for.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
The NBA Finals matchup, and the only reason I'm giving
it to two is because we have a member of
the Clippers Alumni Association SGA who won the MVP this
year now can cap it all off by winning a championship.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Other than that, Other.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Than that, looking around here, this is a matchup that
should be on NBA TV.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (14:14):
You know how they put like the worst games on
NBA TV during the opening round of the playoffs, they
put the top games on Network TV, and then they
put the crap on NBA TV.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
This should be on NBA TV.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
In fact, this could even be like on a podcast
that no one listens to, which is most podcasts that
no one listens to, so they can put it on
a podcast. Unless you're in I don't know, Carmel, Indiana,
or Tulsa, Oklahoma, or somewhere.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
In that radius right around there.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
This is the Finals equivalent to sitting outside your home
and you're looking around and your neighbors decided to paint
their home, and not even their home, just a fence
near your home. So it's a defence that divides your
home in their own. So they've said, okay, I'm gonna
I'm gonna paint defence. And you're sitting there watching this
(15:03):
and they've decided to paint it a nice shade of beige.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And you sit there and watch it because you.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Have nothing else to do, and so you watch it. Whoobie,
that's what you do. And I get that for some people,
it's unique. And this is by far the worst matchup
in NBA Finals history in terms of juice. There is
no juice. It's adorable for some people, and they love it, and.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
They're the people that will say it's great. People are
gonna watch.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
These are the same people during the NCAA basketball tournament
get excited when nowhere you wins on the opening a
couple of days of the tournament. So you get a
bunch of crap teams that win and then it turns out, well,
people don't like to watch those teams and it's it's
a problem. But the small markets, this is their moment, right,
this is your big moment in the sun.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The NBA changed all the rules to.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Accommodate the mid size to small markets, and so you
got teams. These are good basketball towns. Indianapolis I was
the last time the Pacers were in the finals. I
was there and it was wonderful. It was a great
The town was buzzing. It was a lot of fun.
The Pacers played the Lakers, the Shaq Kobe Lakers, and
I got to go to those games in Indianapolis. I
have great memories of that. And so Oklahoma City. I've
(16:18):
been to Oklahoma City. Not a lot going on, but
you got your basketball team.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You look around.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
So it's like apple beans versus Golden Corral. It's porking
eggs from Oklahoma versus what cornfields and soybeans in Indianapolis,
in Indiana in that area there, And where's the sizzle?
Is there any sizzle? Probably not like the star Power.
(16:45):
What about Halliburton, Well you got the Envybesch say, jogis Alexander,
that's your meal ticket. That's the sizzle. Really, that's like
cooking in an air fryer. You know what I'm saying.
I mean, airfriar's good. Supposely he's healthier for you. I
use the air frar. It tastes better when you put
(17:06):
in a deep frier. There's no deep fryer. It's an
air fryer. That's what this is. I mean, these guys
are nice players and for some it's a good story.
And I however, does not move the needle naturally. And
then again, this is not my problem. This is an
NBA problem. And if you love shot in Freuda, if
you want to get back at the NBA and ESPN ABC,
(17:28):
then this is wonderful. This is the ultimate fu to
ESPN ABC to put these teams in the NBA Finals
because they're going to have to make so many make goods.
Is there any man, woman or child who's a casual
observer of a sport in places like Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles,
the major metropolis is of America, Dallas that is going
(17:48):
to watch this matchup.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
If you're a gambler, I get it.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
If you're you got know somebody on the team, okay,
fair enough. If you're from those areas, that's fine. But
outside of that, what is the reason to watch? What
is the reason to watch? And yeah, you got your
heart old people that will tune in no matter what,
And that's fine and again not our issue. This is
(18:16):
an Adam Silver problem. We'll watch because we have a
nightly show show to do. But my goodness, holy crap,
like what is going on here? Well, we'll see, we'll
see what watches and all that. It's and we do broadcasting,
not narrow casting. That would appear to be a narrow
(18:37):

match up they deserve. They want to continue to stay woke,
and it says you know blankety blank with China Good FM.
(20:16):

(21:26):
do we have? Let's see, Uh, Bill, he's in He's

fan and I cannot argue with you. Ben.
Speaker 1 (21:35):

Speaker 2 (21:37):
So I think I've I've upset him, he says, there
you go.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
He says, don't read this on a hot mic.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
But Karl Anthony towns where's underwear with blank blank in them?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
All right? Very nice? What else do we have?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
Let's see page dan by a lot of angry comments
from the the Pacer Marching and Chowder Society. Nature Voices.
Any updates on Benny Versus The Penny? No nothing, nothing
yet to pass on Nature Boy, but to keep good
vibrations going. Hopefully we'll hear something soon on Benny Versus
(22:12):
the Penny? Will there be a season three? Let's go
to Dallas and Joela in Dallas is ready to go.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Hello, Joela, welcome, Yo? What's up there is? Yeah, he's
preparing to smile. He's gonna smile right now. He's in
a good mood.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
You already know what I have to push back on you.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
Hey, these niche, I mean the Pacers, they're gonna get dusted.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Okay, So he's ready to roll.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
I'm here in Dallas and I'm gonna tell you right now,
my boy, Shay Giltrace is going to win MVP.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
So then they don't even have to play again. Just
give him the MVP right now and we'll get ready
for the NBA Draft.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
No, no, I gotta explain. I gotta explain.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
He said it would be boring. It's gonna be electric.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
They're gonna get Well, if it's.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
A sweep, how is it going to be electric? If
is by definition? If it's a sweep. It's boring. Has
there ever been an exciting sweep in the history of basketball?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
The NBA signed you're in business with the t N
T ESPN guys.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
Once they left, we knew it was the beginning.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
There.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
The NBA is in good hand. They can signed a
seventy six billion dollars deal.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
This is great.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Yeah, you need moving, you do.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Want You do understand though, the way that advertising works.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They promised the advertisers a certain audience for the NBA Finals,
and these people buy their advertising and then so what's
gonna end up happening is they're gonna have to give
away free commercials. And I work for a broadcast company.
There's nothing broadcast companies hate more than giving away free commercials.
Trust me, they can't stand it. It drives the executives bokers.
They have to give away free commercials.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Okay, I'm telling you this is I didn't like that
take you had that That was.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
A great take. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It was one of my better basketball takes. What do
you what was wrong with that take?
Speaker 4 (23:57):
Usually they're an we gotta hear me out.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
You sit there a but I just think this is
going to be an exciting finals.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You just said it was going to be a sweep again,
make your money easier.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
It'll be exciting.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
No, can't be. Can't tell me a sweep. It's been exciting.
Speaker 5 (24:11):
Oh wait, go ahead, Okay, look, we'll have those dads,
will have dad versus.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Okay, So okay, if if we do like a wrestling match, remember.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Last time I said that we didn't have that. That
should be the b.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
That'd be a good idea.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
He's hand. Yeah, I think they're a good hands.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Seriously, though, I think they're a good hands.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
You gotta it's conceivable.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
The problem is they how do these guys resonate with
not us because we're basketball.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Fans, we're older, we're a little older.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
I know, yeah, we're a little.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
You know, we're hip, we're cool, we're debonair, right, we
got life behind us and you know, little life ahead
of us.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
We hope. But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
I mean, if you you know, I mean, who knows
whether these guys are going to resonate with people that
aren't hardcore fans.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
That's the this is all about.
Speaker 4 (25:00):
I don't I get you.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
I just think it's gonna work. I promise you. You're
gonna have so much to talk about. If you're able
to talk this long about it, I know you gonna
make it.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You know what I'm saying, Well, I'm a gas bag.
I am a gas bag.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
That's what I do. I'll talk about anything I can
talk about the uf ufl if I had to, I
don't care. I got four hours a night I gotta fill.
I'll fill it one way or another. I'll fill it.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I'll read Wikipedia pages.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
I'll go through Wikipedia and hit random pages and read
them all.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I don't care.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Hey, shout out Coop, shoutow Lorena. I always say Morena.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
Hey.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
But I'm telling lou Dort versus Halliburton, what's the Hallie.
We don't have to see that. That's gonna be a
good matchup.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, lout Dort.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Get the family around the TV to watch Louten dortsus.
But you're really getting me excited for this, man, I
gotta tell you, I can't wait. I mean, I wish
it would start tonight.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I mean, my god, I mean.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
That is.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
Stefan Diggs. They're in the same deal.
Speaker 5 (26:08):
They're the same guy. One plays football, one played basketball.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
But golly, Zion, Yeah, Zion had a tough week Zion
had a tough weekend, but I'm sure he made up
for it with some nice nice He probably had a
nice meal, so he's better now.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
So you know, it'll be a tough decade for him
if he keeps.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
It up, it won't be that tough because he'll be
out of the back. He'll be out of the NBA,
so you don't have to worry about it.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
So the NBA Finals, the NBA Finals, they don't they
don't begin until what do we got three more days here?
Speaker 1 (26:38):
They don't be getting up Thursday.
Speaker 5 (26:39):
So no, man, what who do you think will trade first?
We'll get traded for Zion or honest.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Well, considering what happened over the weekend, I'm going to say, uh.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
And it's not criminal, so it's just a lawsuit against Zion,
so it's.
Speaker 5 (26:57):
Not like the draft coming up.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Yeah, I guess you be honest.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
I hear people in his circle are trying to get
him out of Milwaukee and get him somewhere where you
can make more money and endorsements and all that. So
we'll see. All right, I gotta go, Thank you, Joel,
all right? You always happy? I love you, man, all right,
big big smile.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Sorry cut off his love you. I'm sorry, sorry, I
felt the love. Okay, Joe keeps it real, man, there's
a bond there. He's one of Rob Parker's guys.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Yeah, he's happy. A lot of these guys call up.
They sound angry. Why calling it might be angry? I understand,
I mean, don't get it. But he seems like he's
in a good movies. Rob Parker guy crossed over the
Fox Sports radio listener, So that was nice. Let's go
to the phones again. Let's hello to Jed who fled?
(27:44):
Who got the nickname because he fled a verbal octagon
and he is in the Sunshine State and he is next. Hello,
Jed who fled?
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Can't be love.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
Talking little doors. It's like viagrash of basketball.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Shouldn't the NBA do a promo?
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Uh come out watch the NBA final lou Dort in
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
That'll get people fired.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
You want to have to have like the radio version
of like a censor, you know, like, uh, man, what
do they put on the front of brath albums?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Do they?
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Could they put some sort of warning on there? Thanks?
Thankfully hadn't bought whatever. I haven't got a few relictably,

That's a tremendous endorsement.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Okay, have it is this? Brian? No, he's not okay?
Is that a better endorsement? I don't think that he
is okay?
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Backhanded shot that you took there.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
You don't get you don't get it.
Speaker 7 (28:48):
You don't get up in the clouds enough to trigger this.
But a fair system for NFL quarterbacks would be, you know,
welcome to the week one and if they'll random quarterback
laundry and you got a ball with everybod's name went
pumps up and you got two take a low, go
into the to the Seahawks.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Now, imagine if tuisag of Lois and other random quarterbacks
played against each other back to back weeks on force,
you know, each on two suber teams. That's a fair system.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
You're proposing that like before the season, like a week
to go each week everywhere every week.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Okay, that's better because it nurses you know what that is.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
That's a video game. You can do that on a
video game, can't you?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Ben?
Speaker 4 (29:30):
And I grant that thought that I can bang a
hooker and get my money back, but I don't do it.
Realize Okay, ok, don't move on, don't move on, don't
do it. You love me? You look? I love you.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I love you, sure about that. I don't know that

about that.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
I don't know, man. I would tell you that I
loved you to try to get the metaphorical intercourse on
the myself on the radio, and then I would I
would get it for you. I smoke a cigarette. I'd
laugh as I I slated it off. You said sweet
earlier they got sweet. It was sweat, dude. It's hard
as they get fleet. The current hits verb very difficult.
Can you think show with Rock Party? They overpaidon what
(30:08):
other city in America has people openly deprecating on the
streets and anjacking hard and narcotics. Those type of people
overpaid Rock Party? He got a pretty mouth?

Okay, So some cosmic we don't know about is there's
some kind of full moons.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
You got a party mouth span.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Here's a fun fact about Lou Dort. You want a
fun fact about lou Dort. Fun fact, Lou Dort, fun fact.
Another Canadian, another Canadian basketball player. Yeah, okay, see the
team of Canada. And I didn't and at that mean
gry we did in Vancouver. I did not get to
sense any of those people in Vancouver were pulling for
(30:58):
the Oklahoma City Thunder because of of loud Dort and SGA.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
But he was.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
Born in Montreal, Lude Dort, and he was an athlete
in Ontario. So he moved from Quebec at some point
to Ontario and the rest, as they say, is his story.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
It is the Ben Mather Show. And asleep on the job.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Over the weekend, the Dodgers were beating the pulp out
of the Yankees so much, how much that they caught
show Haltani a sleep in the dugout. He fell asleep,
that's malfeasance. Otani was catching a snooze in the dugout.
It reminded me of years ago doing the weekend overnight
(31:47):
show and one of our update guys we went to
the update and he didn't talk, but he was in
the update studio, the old update studio, and I remember
the boardops like, hey, he's not he's not talking, but
he's there on the mic. And so I went over
and he had fallen asleep with the mic on and
(32:09):
was snoozing, like right in the middle, like sitting up, Yeah,
sitting up on the mic, ready to talk.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
A talented actually, and he was like that. It wasn't a.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Full hollering James, but it was a it.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Was that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
And yeah, that was very interesting. We thought maybe he
was having a medical condition, but it was just he
was tired. So and he's I haven't seen him in years.
He's got some website he still does. But it was interesting.
It was interesting. So Tony fallen asleep. I've not fallen
asleep while doing the show. I've wanted to fall asleep
while doing the show. I have not fallen asleep while
(32:46):
doing the show. That has not happened. I did mention
this last hour. I didn't pay it off. So the
Colorado Rockies the first team ever to lose fifty games,
before winning ten in baseball since nineteen on one. Dick
Monford perfect name for the owner of the Rockies, Dick
anyway before there be a little taste of that Dick.
(33:08):
Before the twenty twenty three season, somebody clipped and saved
this comedy.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Said, what the Padres are doing? Spending all this money?
Speaker 2 (33:15):
What the Padres are doing, I don't one hundred percent
agree with though I know that our fans probably agree
with it. The Rockies penny pinching owner said, we'll see
how it works out.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Well.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Since then, they've kept the receipts clip and saved. Since
the Rockies owner questioned the direction of the San Diego
Padres baseball team, the Padres since that date are thirty
four games above five hundred. The Colorado Rockies since that
comment by the Rockies owner are one hundred and twenty
(33:47):
five games below five hundred. The Colorado Rockies are one
hundred and twenty five games below five hundred. The Podres
are thirty four games above five hundred. Who goofed, I've
got to know, well, that would be the owner of
the baseball team there in Colorado. Must be making a
lot of money from TV and whatnot. We have Mallard

since at least nineteen oh six to have multiple home
home runs in a game when his team lost by
at least sixteen runs.
Speaker 1 (34:44):

Aaron Judge.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
That is the Insta Tribua the answer and Mallard of
a third degree.
Speaker 1 (34:51):

Late last week, Jason Kelsey suggested on his podcast that
a team representing the NFL and a team representing flag
football players, so you know, likes professional flag football players
have a game to determine who the twenty twenty eight
US Olympic team will be.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Ben, what do you think of this idea?
Speaker 2 (37:31):
It's a terrible idea because the NFL players would lose
and that would be embarrassing. And the NFL wants their
players in the game. So no, that's a terrible idea.
These people play flag football all the time. They're good
at it. The NFL players aren't. They played tackle football.
It's a different sport. The NFL is good. They want
their players in the Olympics, and that's a bad idea.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Next.
Speaker 6 (37:51):
John Harbaugh recently spoke with the media and said that
he wants to see tight end Isaiah Likely being All
Pro next season and that he is very capable of
doing it.
Speaker 1 (37:58):
Ben, do you think Likely can be an All Pro?
Tight ends? So the Chargers coach thinks one of his
players should be an All Pro? Shouldn't they all be
All Pro? Shouldn't you want everyone to be? Shouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (38:07):
I mean, if you're the the Ravens, rather wouldn't want
everyone to be an All Pro?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Yes? Lamar Jackson loves tight ends, so yes, absolutely. Next.
Speaker 6 (38:16):
Kirby Smart said over the weekend that he thinks the
biggest issue with college football is the timing or the
transfer portal windows right now there are two, when in
December one and April Smart says they should only be
one and that other coaches unanimously agree.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
That is he right about it being the biggest issue.
But it's a giant problem. It's not the it's one
of the biggest issues. Let's put it that way. They
got to fix that's ridiculous. How do we do He
passes Thursday when put it on the board,
