Hello and welcome. It's our naber to a yearly tradition,
a big download hit. We're going to break the record

it's all about the good ship clip that hit an
(00:20):
iceberg and sank in the NBA postseason? So what went
wrong for the Clippers in the postseason? Also, how do
the Clippers handle Kawhi Leonard who goes a wall every postseason?
How do they handle him going forward? And where does
Steve Balmer go from here with the Clippers and moving
into a new arena. We know that, but the cat
(00:41):
and mouse game and the playoffs continue, as we'll talk
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number two Just clip it well, Gume. In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show, We
are in the air everywhere, bedfellows, as the buck stops
(01:05):

buying show me and our leave this hour by request
(01:49):
from pro bouncy Ball. Now last Star. We did a
malamnologue about the Tom Brady roast, the Netflix roast, the
greatest roast of all time for Tom Brady, which was wonderful.
And I was planning on last hour starting with the
Orlando Magic blowing an eighteen point lead in Game seven
to lose to the Cavaliers. But I think we'll just
(02:13):
leave that us. I didn't even want to call up
and talk about that. We can, but we're not going
to wax poetic here about Spider Mitchell and the Cleveland
basketball team as they have a date with the Boston
Celtics and the semi finals of the Eastern Conference. However,
I've been told by more than one p one that
(02:33):
is my civic duty as a member of the Malord militia.
It is my civic duty to go down a certain highway,
a blockbuster of a highway. I think you know where
I'm going, but maybe not over the weekend while we
were away from the watchtower, overlooking the Serengetti of sport.
(02:54):
While we were away, these shorthanded Clippers succumbed to the
mav res in a series of could have, should have,
would have, and they would have and could have and
should have won in a different dimension, but they did not.
So let us discuss the question what went wrong for
the good ship Clip in their postseason matchup with the
(03:16):
mav Recks. So I've got embers, sci Fi and Belly.
Now we'll start with this. Everyone's going to head over
heels excited for Luke and the mav Recks for winning
this series. But I just wasn't impressed. I wasn't. It
was more about the Clipper incompetence than it was anything
(03:37):
that Dallas did it. I didn't see anyone reaching for
the moon on the Dallas side. But the first thought
number one, the best laid plans of Mysa men. The
Clippers loaded up with a gaggle of big resume guys.
They had a big resume guy here, big resume guy,
(03:59):
all star talent. People look back as the Clippers had
four four Hall of Famers on the team. For of them,
Chris It's basketball Hall of Fame. Everyone gets in, even
Alf the alien Opiner is going to be inducted into
the Basketball Hall of Fame soon just by living down
the street from me. But the Clippers had a roster
(04:21):
of big names, and then in key moments in the
last couple of games of the playoff series, if you
look at the end of it here you look at
he's like, well the quote a baseball player. I don't
think it was a specific kind of suck. I thought
it was an all encompassing type of suck. Paul George,
(04:42):
by George, if I see one more story, Paul George
is gonna leave and go to the Sixers, or Paul
George is gonna go here. Okay, good, I'll drive him
to the airport. Goodbye, bye, bye, see you later. Paul
George had an opportunity to prove that his critics were wrong,
that he could be the number one on a team
that would go on a deep run in the playoffs. Now,
(05:02):
he was part of the Final four Clipper team, but
that was a team that he took over after Kawhi
had gotten them to the Final four, and he couldn't
get it done after that. But the Clippers knew going in.
They were not naive to the fact that they needed
some help. So they did go out. They brought in reinforcements.
(05:22):
They figured, Kawhi Leonard will do what Kawhi Leonard does,
He'll not show up to work, He'll go a wall.
And that's exactly what Kawhi Leonard did. He lives up
to the back of his basketball card, his Wikipedia page
or whatever. And so they went out and they got
the reinforcements, only to watch the reinforcements poop the bed
James Harden, tentative and sluggish. Russell west Brick, I guess
(05:47):
he didn't have the suntan losh. He got burned. He
got absolutely burned, burn baby burn. The worst ending Russell Westbrook.
If you look at how he ended it for the
Clippers last five games. Westbrook shot, he shut nineteen percent
from the floor. He had five points per game and
(06:08):
one point to assists per game. We are told that
is the lowest field goal percentage over a five game
span in the playoffs in the last fifty years. That's
two and a half generations. You gotta go back to
see somebody that sucked as much as Russell west Brick
and what you got here is you've got a bunch
of dead embers. And we know that fires cannot be
(06:33):
made with dead embers. Nor, and this is the more
important part, enthusiasm. Nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men.
And these guys did not seem too concerned by what
was going on. They didn't seem too worried about this
while they were drowning. It should be a masculating you'd
think it would be a humiliation situation. You were the
(06:54):
better team. You let an inferior Dallas team win. But
that was not the body language that I got from
the People's team. Luca and Dallas were plumped for the take.
But it was about the Clipper and competence. Now page
two here, So how do the Clippers handle Kawhi Leonard
(07:14):
going forward? So they've made their bed of nails here,
they're gonna have to lay in it. I hope you
enjoy it. It's a cautionary tale. They have bet on
the wrong horse and the gate is about to open.
You bet on the wrong horse. I don't know if
you saw a Kentucky Derby or not. I finished their
dramatic finish at the Kentucky Derby, but Kawhi Leonard is
(07:36):
not going to get healthier. I am a distant relative
of no Stradamison, friend of Nostradamus. He lives in Seattle.
As you age, unless you take a basket full of pharmaceuticals,
the good stuff, you don't get better. There's only a
certain guy that's getting better with age. I wonder how
he's doing that. But Kawhi Leonard is not going to
(07:56):
become a healthier Kawhi Leonard as he ages. It is
a remind that when you go back in free agency,
it's kind of like sci fi. All great sci fi,
it has been said, is be careful what you wish for.
The Clippers wished for a whale. They wanted to catch
a whale. They caught the whale. Everyone wanted Kawhi Leondar.
(08:17):
Everyone was begging Kawhi Leonard to come to their team
when he was with Toronto. They got him, They got
the whale, they caught the whee. They harpooned the whale,
and since then they have had nothing but regrets. Because
Kawhi Leonard, his first act as a Clipper, before he
had even a greeted the trade, he demanded that the
Clippers acquire Paul George. He said, I can't go there alone.
(08:39):
I need Paul George. So the Clippers traded Jay Gilgis,
Alexander and a gaggle of picks. Now I don't give
a ants ass about the draft picks. Who cares about that?
But the Gilgas Alexander. He was showing signs of being
good with the Clippers. And so you watch Paul George
(08:59):
wet his diaper with the Clippers and shake yogos Alexander
blossom into an MVP finals while Kawhi Leonard has been
malingering the piece of glass that he is. My final point,
So some unsolicited advice, unsolicited overnight radio advice. Where does
Steve Balmer go from here? With the Clippers? Where does
(09:22):
Balmer go from here?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The owner?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So the Malard think tank has been activated. Here's what
you obviously, you roll up your sleeves, you go back
to the laboratory. The Clippers are moving into the taij
mahall of arenas. Everyone's gonna get their own urinal. It's
that massive an arena. It's going to be amazing the
greatest experience of all time for fans. That's the Clippers Arena.
The taj Mahal of basketball. But Steve Balmer last I checked,
(09:47):
is still the richest owner in American sport, if not globally.
And when you're just futching around because this is a toy,
you're not gonna rebuild. You're not gonna suck out loud
for fire five or six years. Why would you do that.
You just get a reload. You're gonna reload. You can
get some different AMMO, and you're gonna reload. Now. My
advice the belly exam. The Clippers right now have too
(10:12):
many guys who are fat and happy. They've made their money,
They've made their fame. They're already at the top in
terms of the fame game and the money game. They're
set in their ways. They're not gonna go the extra
mile for you. I look at Paul George, I see
a guy who's more worried about his next podcast. I
look at James Harden. People say, well, he wants to
win a championship. Forget the bubbly. He wants to go
(10:34):
to the champagne room and get a lap dance. And
then Kawhi Leonard is more concerned at this point about
the temperature and his infrared sauna at Casa San Diego
than he is getting his fat ass out in the court.
And then you got Russell Westbrook, who I think cares
but has fatal flaws in his game. He can't shoot
and his game much we talk about Dak Prescott and
(10:56):
certain people that vanish in postseason games, there's playoff risers
in this playoff full Russell Westbrook, I actually think he
means well, he just can't. His style of play does
not work in the play much like in basketball Dak Prescott.
But the Clippers just need to get players that have
more fire in their belly, that are ascending and not
(11:18):
just treading water. And the people that are looking for
the penhouse. They got a lot of guys that are
living in the penthouse, but they need that mix of
players that are on their way to try to get
to that penthouse. That would be my advice. So we'll
see what they do. But either way, they'll have better uniforms,
better arena, and and you know they won more games
(11:41):
yet again than the Lakers in the playoffs. So another
better year for the people's team than the chumps that
play on skid row in that dump down your skid
row it is the Ben Mallard Show. If you'd like

inst advice line an hour for the Malon Militia feud
later this hour. Mallard of the third degree all coming
up as we work our way through the overnight hours here,
(14:39):
and let's see who is next year. I don't know
if I want to read that on the air late night
drug tester says, never an easy monologue for you to
give year after year. But better your Clippers bow out
now and not beat your boss's Timberwolves in the Western
Conference finals. If Birddog says, the Clippers might have loss
(15:00):
to the mav Res. But you know what's even more
embarrassing firing your coach after hanging a banner for that
stupid nd season tournament. The Lakers haven't reached rock bottom yet,
they must be close. Yeah, they're right next to it,
right next to it. Clearly, who else you have? Page down?
(15:22):
Page down? Shane in Des Moines's I watched as much
of the Tom Brady roast as Eddie did the NBA.
I'm hoping someone on the crew did so it can
fill me in when we already talked about that, Shane,
I don't know what you were doing last are we
already thought podcast and go back and hear the podcast.
I mean, I'm not doing another monologue on the Brady
(15:43):
Radio roast. It was very good. I highly recommend it.
I give it five out of five stars. The King
Rory writes in says, my condolences to you and the Clippers,
but it is obviously you are somewhere between denial and
bargaining in the seven state. Is a grief once you
realize the Clippers will never win a championship in your life. No, no, no, no,
(16:04):
the Clippers have already won. They've got the richest owner
in sports. They've gonna have the greatest arena in all
of sport anywhere any country in the world. They're gonna
have the greatest arena when that thing opens up, and
everyone wants to be a Clipper. So I don't see
it downside wrong. YEA burner account, says Benjamin. I've been
your burner account for years now, and at this point,
(16:26):
I honestly feel kind of sorry for you, my man.
Year after year, the same result will this year be
the tipping point or do you wash, rinse and repeat.
No burner count A. The Dodgers won the World Series
a couple of years ago, hardest World Series both time.
I really count two World Series twenty seventeen and twenty twenty,
so they won two championships because the team is cheating
(16:47):
that the a holes from Houston. So that's two championships
for the Dodgers. The Rams beat Joe Burrow and Cincinnati
in the greatest Super Bowl I've seen in my lifetime,
So there's a championship there. So you've got that in.
The Clippers made the final four. So things are going
very well. Do not feel bad for me. Things are
going very well, and it's good to see the a
holes are still up to their old tricks there. And
(17:08):
you see over the weekend a security guard in Houston
had a fan turn their shirt inside out. This is
seven years later and we've been told, wow, you know,
nobody cares about the cheating anymore, and we've moved on
from that. Well. Woman at Washington Nationals fan wore a
(17:28):
T shirt and Astro security made her turn the shirt
inside out, and the shirt said it had a picture
of a foul pole and it said bang foul poles,
not trash cans was what it said. Oh my god,
that's how Tooby might see it with his little eyes.
He'll be very offended by that. He might. He might
(17:50):
show him the buzzer. So absurd, so so absurd. H.
This is the problem, rob man fraud. And this is
why as long as I have a microphone, I don't
even care. If I don't have a microphone, I'll just
go outside and start screaming like a crazy person. As
long as this goes on, no punishment. Rob Manford and
(18:11):
Baseball have run interference. They have run interference for the
cheaters of twenty seventeen, and I don't care if it's
twenty twenty four to nine. This is still a relevant
story because look, here's a poor, harmless, middle aged woman
who was forced to turn her shirt inside out because
it said bang foul poles, not trash can. That's the
a holes. That's the a holes right there. Ska rou
(18:35):
them is what I say. Scroo them. This go to
the phones. Will say hello to Poppy in San Diego,
Hello Poppy.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Bird Man Meller. Hey, I'm not telling you I'm happy
single to mile, I'm so excited, and I like your
Sorry Eddie, that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know, honest, it's not saying go to myle Poppy anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Go from that.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's I was supposed to say the last. But you
know what, I really liked your opening, Manila. And you know,
as a Netflix shareholder, I appreciate you talking about Tom
Brady getting roasted and you guys, you guys don't have
the fuck. Thank you for being a customer, Ben Maler
and everyone. As a shareholder Netflix, I really appreciate that
talks over five eighty. But you know what I mean
(19:22):
to tell you what I wanted to tell you, Ben
is I don't know if you know I got some
breaking news for you. You know, Arnie, he was saying
that he was saying that for some example, he doesn't
like coming from Ben Malors. Arnie. He said he knew
your schedule right, so he was saying that he knew
you were off for the whole week, and he knew
your whole schedule and he made it in my kid,
he talks to you and he says he doesn't want
(19:43):
to do the show right here.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Well I don't. I don't know what Arnie said. Arnie's afraid.
He's afraid of you, Poppy. He's afraid of he's afraid
of the malor militia. And that's just the reality. And Arnie,
you know, he's more than welcome if he wants to
sit in when I have to go away for whatever reason.
Arnie can come in here and do the show. But
he can't handle the militia. He has to take medication
(20:05):
from dealing with the idiots to call the show.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I agree you with saying that. And you know what,
I'm gonna roast. I'm gonna roast Arnie. You know, Arnie
with your Arizona iron those wild guys. Nobody cares about that,
you know, Arnie, And then me, his picks are horrible
that you just gotta you gotta say it ticks people.
I'm gonna I'm roasting you, Arnie. And then and I
know people want to hear picks picking with be heard
(20:29):
right here, and you guys can find me on YouTube
on my tunnel.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Wait been well, no, we don't need you to promote
I mean, you want to promout yourself doing on your own,
you don't need to promote it on my show.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Okay, let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Let me tell you something about I want to talk
to the NBA. Yes, I know, you open up with the NBA.
And this this is what I'm like, going Sam on
the NBA. Is the NBA, Gururgule. I don't know if
Scott Foster is gonna be right.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You can't, you can't, you can't pick you don't know
where guy. And by the way, Scott Foster did he
did he not do the last game between the Knicks
and the and the sixth and everyone and you you
you said, oh well Scott Foster bet off Philadelphia. Well
not so, yes, come at me.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I'm waiting for that. I thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
That's a good roast matter.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
And actually there's a pattern with this. Scott Foster lost
the seventy six ers. On the next game, he reps
the home team. You guys want to bet on the
home team on the money line, just to money line.
I think he's going to be wrapping the one Boston
Celtics and against the team that just want today, the
Kidney Cavs. I think it's gonna be.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
A fower all right, opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You don't know yet. You won't know you til the morning.
Six and all right, all right, I gotta go. Thank
you all right, that's wonderful. You're you're wondering the point
spread for the game. Well, actually there's two games on
this sixth day of May. The Nuggets were a four
(21:52):
and a half point they're up to a five and
a half point favorite over the Timberwolves and the Knickerbockers
also five and a half point favorite. That's actually down
a little bit. The Pacers opened up a getting six
and a half, so the Knicks rather laying six and
a half to start, and now it's at five and
a half. So those are the games coming up on
(22:12):
this Monday, Monday Fun Day. I'll go back to the falls.
Will Saleo to America's favorite drag queen caller in Buffalo.
Hello to Fulexus, Hello for Lexus. Hmmm, I think Felexus
has gone to bed. I was gonna ask for Lexis
if if Felexus was planning on traveling down to the
mallor meet and greet in Charleston, but I don't think
(22:36):
Felexis will make that trip. I thank you, Flexis.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let's say, how's your what's your flight like? For that?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I'm just curious, Well, there are no direct flight cities.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I didn't think so.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So I'll be flying into Atlanta and then flying flying
on to a beautiful Myrtle Beach. You ever been to
Myrtle Beach?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I have never been to the great state of South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I have not either, so I'll let you.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Know the Palmetto State.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I was told by someone who knows that now. I
was in Virginia Beach a couple of years ago. I
had to go to a wedding in North Carolina, but
we flew into Virginia Beach because it was close and
that that was not much to look at Virginia Beach.
He was kind of kind of like Venice Beach but worse,
you know, But then that had cool military like they had.
(23:20):
The military is big there. They had military basically.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Now, you and Jonas Knox pass you know, two ships
in the night.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Did you talk to him because he's lived in South Carolina?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, I know, I did. I asked him and he
said that when he worked there, he worked. Jonas worked
in radio in South Carolina. He had no money, so
he couldn't afford to go to any of the good places.
That's what he told me. So, yeah, I don't know.
I have family there, so I'll just, you know, whatever,
whatever they want to go, we'll do that. It'll be
wonderful and amazing. And unless it's not, and then I'll
(23:51):
rip them and and all that. So getting salty, Rudy
go Bear, the least popular player in the NBA, Rudy Gobert.
He was shading his former team, the Utah Jazz while
praising While praising his new team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, he
said he had never been on a team like Minnesota
(24:12):
that cares about each other. What isn't that sweet? So
it turns out the Utah Jazz, with Spider Mitchell and
all those other guys, they just didn't care for each other.
But the Minnesota Timberwolves, they hug each other. They love
each other. They can't get enough. Can I see your ball, sir?
I'd like to see a lot of that going on
in the showers.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Saw this note from the NFL. The headline was Johnson
announcing his retirement. And that's a common name. I was thinking,
who could this be? Johnson? Johnson? Johnson and Johnson turns
out it was running back Duke Johnson. You may or
may not remember.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Is this a big deal without good respect? He's a
maagabond journeyman.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Running same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He is fine, But we're gonna we're gonna stop and
honor Duke Johnson's career.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
It's funny because I was exact same thing. Well, how
is this aheadline? No disrespect, but don't get it Duke Johnson. Yes,
how will you remember the Duke Johnson era in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Very memorable?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
How many teams can you name that he played for?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, Cleveland that was the big one.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
But he played with the Texans, I think also, right, he.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Did play for the Texans and then had a very
brief stint in both Miami and Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I don't remember him with no.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Not for Miami for that, nor do I he had
He had west seventy one carries in Miami. I guess
that's not nothing. But he had two carries in Buffalo.
Appeared in one game, so four four yards, so four
more yards than you?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, thank you for that. It is the Ben
Mahler Show. As we roll on through the overnight hours,
we'll get back to the calls and we'll say hello
to Mark the full name guy in Medford, Oregon. Hello,
Mark the full name guy.
Speaker 7 (26:02):
Oh Van mallor So do they so use the duke
football in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Ben Maller, they call the ball the duke? They do
call the ball the duke.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Well, the football is more well known than the football
player by the same name.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That wasn't funny. Why are you laughing?
Speaker 7 (26:25):
That was not That was historically funny, Ben Maller. Now
you know you're the guy that says we shouldn't take
ourselves so seriously. There's no one nobody I know that
takes himself more seriously than you.

Stay safe Lincoln Road. You go to see weed Man.
If you're in Miami Lincoln Road, say hello to weed Man.
He's he's out camping. Does he have a tent? I
never asked him that. I wonder if he has a tent.
He does definitely doesn't have a car. I know he
doesn't have a car. What if he's got like maybe
(31:30):
a sleeping bag. I'm not sure what his situation is.
And none of the things we just talked about me
and weed Man are going to happen. Next time he calls,
he will not know his number. He will not be
able to figure out how to download the podcast. I
will walk him through it. He won't be able to
figure that out. I will explain to him how to
get back on social media. He will not know how
(31:52):
to do that. So all everything I just said, none
of that will happen. None of that's going to happen.
Let's say hello to Tiger in Utah. Hello Tiger Man
in Utah.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Good to hear from you. I hope you having a
great weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
A half of sell up here.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
But snow, it's May. You can't get snow in May.
Who gets snow in May?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, when you're like eight thousand seed up, you get
some sell.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
In May, I guess. But apparently I know you're a
big Clippers fan.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
But I want to ask you a Lakers question.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Do you think that it's worth worth the Lakers time
to actually keep Lebron the guys talking about Ony and
team in Vegas?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And yeah, So here's the way, here's the way I'll
answer it. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So from a business standpoint,
Lebron is great because a lot of people will buy stuff.
The Lakers don't need to really worry about that. They
have a built in kool Aid drinkers that will buy
their product. But you have they're if you're gonna get
(32:54):
rid of Lebron, you have to replace him with someone
who's going to put up big stats, which they can
certainly do because they have they have no shortage of
getting players to the Lakers that have had have big names.
I would get out of lebron business. I would rather
get out a year or two soon than a year
too late. And I don't know what kind of goodies
Lebron's taken to be this productive. But if you know,
your Lakers, get somebody a little younger, shake it up,
(33:16):
a little bit, shake up the mix, that's what I
would do. All right, Well, all right, Tiger all right, yeah,
there you go, short and sweet tiger Man. No LSU references,
no Baton Rouge references from Tiger Man. He's slipping up
his game. Clearly. It's the beginning of the new week.
That's why. Now next home. We have the instant of
(33:38):
ice line straight ahead Mallard the third degree. But here's
the instant trivia. Here we go Cleveland. That's a baseball team.
They have a player by the name of Jose Ramirez.
He just hit his fifth home run in a ten
plus pitch played appearance. Only three MLB players have more
than four such home runs in those situations since they
(33:59):
started tracking that statistic back in nineteen eighty eight. They
are Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Helton, and Blank. Again, Jose Ramirez
of the Tribe the fifth hit his fifth home run
ten plus pitch play appearance. Only three MLB players have
more than four such home runs since the start of
pitches being tracked like that in nineteen eighty eight. They
(34:20):
are Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Helton, and Blank. That is the
insta tribua the answer. We'll get to it next.

We've upset the mad Rick. He says, why are you
pooping on those of us in the Hampton Roads area.
The only thing Myrtle Beach has on Virginia Beach is
golf courses. I heard it, see Capital of Miniature Golf.
Mallard prop gusts every time I walk past Zoltar. I
wonder how a verbal octagon with him and Andrea might
entertain the Mallad militia. It's a great IDEA time now
(35:19):
for the instant trivia. Cleveland outfielder Jose Ramirez his fifth
home run in a ten plus pitch played appearance. Only
three MLB players have more than four such home runs
since they started tracking those back in nineteen eighty eight.
They are Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Helton and Blank. That is
(35:40):
the question, and what is the answer, unless he does
anyone know the answer? We do have coming up momentarily
here Mallard of the third degree. David Ortiz guessed by
Matt the Warrior Raider fan. Who else do we have
a Cobra? Also guested by Alf the Alien Opiner. Lafonso
Ellis from Cowboy Killer. That's his answer. Late Night Drug
(36:03):
tester says you are George Clooney, who is sixty three today.
Oscar de la Joya from Mister Knise. Mister nisk got
a good photo of him. Billy Ripkin from Donkey Sausage.
I had that card. I was gonna get rich on
that cart. Malo prop guy got this right. Bad job
by him. He cheated John Dude Stearns from I forty
Ian Dwight Evans guests by Rob in Minnesota. Who else
(36:25):
do we have? Alex Cora from Robbie the Mariner fan Eddie?
What say you, Eddie?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I'm gonna go with another former Cleveland Indian and that
would be the great Pat Tabler.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Good name is Pat Tabla, the hitting coach for the Giants.
I think he might be. No, he's not the correct answer.
The correct answer. I got my pats mixed up. Paul
Konerko Dodger Farman who wasn't Wango Tango when I was
at Wango Tango back in the day. It's maller. How
(36:58):
about that degree. This is one gets grilled Google.
Speaker 8 (37:07):
All right, Ben Jalen Brunson has been amazing in these playoffs,
but Draymond Green doesn't think that will be enough for
the Knicks. He said on a recent podcast episode, that's
a ball dominant. Jalen Brunson ain't gonna get you to
the promised land.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Benize right. Well, Draymond Green ought to stick to kicking
guys in the nuts, is what he ought to do,
because listen on this one. The Knicks are not going
to the NBA Finals unless three or four Celtic players
get hurt. So that's the first thing. The second thing is,
Jalen Brunson has been great. He's been everything as advertised.
(37:39):
He's been as we mentioned last week, He's been what
Carmelo Anthony was supposed to be Jalen Brant. Jalen Brunson
has been, and the Knicks aren't. This is simply not
good enough. The fact that they beat the Sixers with
Jalen Brunson and whatnot. I mean, that's a testimonial to Brunson.
But they could absolutely go to the finals with Brunson,
but they got to get another good player around him.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
After the Clippers were eliminated over the weekend, reports surface
that Russell Westbrook will leave the Clippers this summer due
to having to come off the bench, Ben, Will Westbrook
be able to get starting job anywhere?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Well, ay, he said that was He claimed that was fake.
He said he tried to debunk that. B The only
teams that would sign him would be to sell tickets.
Does he really sell tickets at this point? Are people
going out to buy tickets to watch Russell Westbrook?
Speaker 8 (38:25):
No, he's they go to yell at him, see if
they can get in a fight with them.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Well, that's easy to do. But yeah, yeah, I mean
he should go to just stay with the Clippers right next.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
The Minnesota Twins had a rough start to the season,
but then they reeled off their first twelve win twelve
game win streak easy for me to say, Yeah, their
longest since nineteen ninety one when they won the World Series. Ben,
do you think the Twins are legit?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
They are a playoff contender, but only because of the division.
I know the records are inflated in the Central but
that's not a great division, Joe, Yeah, they have a
shot to make the Fluffs because of location. How do
we know pass this edition? Start Dama
Hello and welcome. It's our naber to a yearly tradition,
a big download hit. We're going to break the record

it's all about the good ship clip that hit an
(00:20):
iceberg and sank in the NBA postseason? So what went
wrong for the Clippers in the postseason? Also, how do
the Clippers handle Kawhi Leonard who goes a wall every postseason?
How do they handle him going forward? And where does
Steve Balmer go from here with the Clippers and moving
into a new arena. We know that, but the cat
(00:41):
and mouse game and the playoffs continue, as we'll talk
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number two Just clip it well, Gume. In the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahler Show, We

buying show me and our leave this hour by request
(01:49):
from pro bouncy Ball. Now last Star. We did a
malamnologue about the Tom Brady roast, the Netflix roast, the
greatest roast of all time for Tom Brady, which was wonderful.
And I was planning on last hour starting with the
Orlando Magic blowing an eighteen point lead in Game seven
to lose to the Cavaliers. But I think we'll just
(02:13):
leave that us. I didn't even want to call up
and talk about that. We can, but we're not going
to wax poetic here about Spider Mitchell and the Cleveland
basketball team as they have a date with the Boston
Celtics and the semi finals of the Eastern Conference. However,
I've been told by more than one p one that
(02:33):
is my civic duty as a member of the Malord militia.
It is my civic duty to go down a certain highway,
a blockbuster of a highway. I think you know where
I'm going, but maybe not over the weekend while we
were away from the watchtower, overlooking the Serengetti of sport.
(02:54):
While we were away, these shorthanded Clippers succumbed to the
mav res in a series of could have, should have,
would have, and they would have and could have and
should have won in a different dimension, but they did not.
So let us discuss the question what went wrong for
the good ship Clip in their postseason matchup with the
(03:16):
mav Recks. So I've got embers, sci Fi and Belly.
Now we'll start with this. Everyone's going to head over
heels excited for Luke and the mav Recks for winning
this series. But I just wasn't impressed. I wasn't. It
was more about the Clipper incompetence than it was anything
(03:37):
that Dallas did it. I didn't see anyone reaching for
the moon on the Dallas side. But the first thought
number one, the best laid plans of Mysa men. The
Clippers loaded up with a gaggle of big resume guys.
They had a big resume guy here, big resume guy,
(03:59):
all star talent. People look back as the Clippers had
four four Hall of Famers on the team. For of them,
Chris It's basketball Hall of Fame. Everyone gets in, even
Alf the alien Opiner is going to be inducted into
the Basketball Hall of Fame soon just by living down
the street from me. But the Clippers had a roster
(04:21):
of big names, and then in key moments in the
last couple of games of the playoff series, if you
look at the end of it here you look at
he's like, well the quote a baseball player. I don't
think it was a specific kind of suck. I thought
it was an all encompassing type of suck. Paul George,
(04:42):
by George, if I see one more story, Paul George
is gonna leave and go to the Sixers, or Paul
George is gonna go here. Okay, good, I'll drive him
to the airport. Goodbye, bye, bye, see you later. Paul
George had an opportunity to prove that his critics were wrong,
that he could be the number one on a team
that would go on a deep run in the playoffs. Now,
(05:02):
he was part of the Final four Clipper team, but
that was a team that he took over after Kawhi
had gotten them to the Final four, and he couldn't
get it done after that. But the Clippers knew going in.
They were not naive to the fact that they needed
some help. So they did go out. They brought in reinforcements.
(05:22):
They figured, Kawhi Leonard will do what Kawhi Leonard does,
He'll not show up to work, He'll go a wall.
And that's exactly what Kawhi Leonard did. He lives up
to the back of his basketball card, his Wikipedia page
or whatever. And so they went out and they got
the reinforcements, only to watch the reinforcements poop the bed
James Harden, tentative and sluggish. Russell west Brick, I guess
(05:47):
he didn't have the suntan losh. He got burned. He
got absolutely burned, burn baby burn. The worst ending Russell Westbrook.
If you look at how he ended it for the
Clippers last five games. Westbrook shot, he shut nineteen percent
from the floor. He had five points per game and
(06:08):
one point to assists per game. We are told that
is the lowest field goal percentage over a five game
span in the playoffs in the last fifty years. That's
two and a half generations. You gotta go back to
see somebody that sucked as much as Russell west Brick
and what you got here is you've got a bunch
of dead embers. And we know that fires cannot be
(06:33):
made with dead embers. Nor, and this is the more
important part, enthusiasm. Nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men.
And these guys did not seem too concerned by what
was going on. They didn't seem too worried about this
while they were drowning. It should be a masculating you'd
think it would be a humiliation situation. You were the
(06:54):
better team. You let an inferior Dallas team win. But
that was not the body language that I got from
the People's team. Luca and Dallas were plumped for the take.
But it was about the Clipper and competence. Now page
two here, So how do the Clippers handle Kawhi Leonard
(07:14):
going forward? So they've made their bed of nails here,
they're gonna have to lay in it. I hope you
enjoy it. It's a cautionary tale. They have bet on
the wrong horse and the gate is about to open.
You bet on the wrong horse. I don't know if
you saw a Kentucky Derby or not. I finished their
dramatic finish at the Kentucky Derby, but Kawhi Leonard is
(07:36):
not going to get healthier. I am a distant relative
of no Stradamison, friend of Nostradamus. He lives in Seattle.
As you age, unless you take a basket full of pharmaceuticals,
the good stuff, you don't get better. There's only a
certain guy that's getting better with age. I wonder how
he's doing that. But Kawhi Leonard is not going to
(07:56):
become a healthier Kawhi Leonard as he ages. It is
a remind that when you go back in free agency,
it's kind of like sci fi. All great sci fi,
it has been said, is be careful what you wish for.
The Clippers wished for a whale. They wanted to catch
a whale. They caught the whale. Everyone wanted Kawhi Leondar.
(08:17):
Everyone was begging Kawhi Leonard to come to their team
when he was with Toronto. They got him, They got
the whale, they caught the whee. They harpooned the whale,
and since then they have had nothing but regrets. Because
Kawhi Leonard, his first act as a Clipper, before he
had even a greeted the trade, he demanded that the
Clippers acquire Paul George. He said, I can't go there alone.
(08:39):
I need Paul George. So the Clippers traded Jay Gilgis,
Alexander and a gaggle of picks. Now I don't give
a ants ass about the draft picks. Who cares about that?
But the Gilgas Alexander. He was showing signs of being
good with the Clippers. And so you watch Paul George
(08:59):
wet his diaper with the Clippers and shake yogos Alexander
blossom into an MVP finals while Kawhi Leonard has been
malingering the piece of glass that he is. My final point,
So some unsolicited advice, unsolicited overnight radio advice. Where does
Steve Balmer go from here? With the Clippers? Where does
(09:22):
Balmer go from here?
Speaker 2 (09:22):
The owner?
Speaker 1 (09:24):
So the Malard think tank has been activated. Here's what
you obviously, you roll up your sleeves, you go back
to the laboratory. The Clippers are moving into the taij
mahall of arenas. Everyone's gonna get their own urinal. It's
that massive an arena. It's going to be amazing the
greatest experience of all time for fans. That's the Clippers Arena.
The taj Mahal of basketball. But Steve Balmer last I checked,
(09:47):
is still the richest owner in American sport, if not globally.
And when you're just futching around because this is a toy,
you're not gonna rebuild. You're not gonna suck out loud
for fire five or six years. Why would you do that.
You just get a reload. You're gonna reload. You can
get some different AMMO, and you're gonna reload. Now. My
advice the belly exam. The Clippers right now have too
(10:12):
many guys who are fat and happy. They've made their money,
They've made their fame. They're already at the top in
terms of the fame game and the money game. They're
set in their ways. They're not gonna go the extra
mile for you. I look at Paul George, I see
a guy who's more worried about his next podcast. I
look at James Harden. People say, well, he wants to
win a championship. Forget the bubbly. He wants to go
(10:34):
to the champagne room and get a lap dance. And
then Kawhi Leonard is more concerned at this point about
the temperature and his infrared sauna at Casa San Diego
than he is getting his fat ass out in the court.
And then you got Russell Westbrook, who I think cares
but has fatal flaws in his game. He can't shoot
and his game much we talk about Dak Prescott and
(10:56):
certain people that vanish in postseason games, there's playoff risers
in this playoff full Russell Westbrook, I actually think he
means well, he just can't. His style of play does
not work in the play much like in basketball Dak Prescott.
But the Clippers just need to get players that have
more fire in their belly, that are ascending and not
(11:18):
just treading water. And the people that are looking for
the penhouse. They got a lot of guys that are
living in the penthouse, but they need that mix of
players that are on their way to try to get
to that penthouse. That would be my advice. So we'll
see what they do. But either way, they'll have better uniforms,
better arena, and and you know they won more games
(11:41):
yet again than the Lakers in the playoffs. So another
better year for the people's team than the chumps that
play on skid row in that dump down your skid
row it is the Ben Mallard Show. If you'd like

Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Step into a world of imagination. The Ben Maler Show
has no marketing budget. We need your assistance in growing
the congregation of the malur Malosia. How do we do
it well? The tag Malor related content on all social
media networks. You are the missing jigsaw puzzle piece to
unlock the Ben Malor Show to new compatriots and now
live from the tire rack dot Com, Fox Sports Radio studios.
(14:14):
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Get back to the calls coming up in a couple
of minutes as we roll through these late night hours
here and coming up next hour, we will have the
inst advice line an hour for the Malon Militia feud
later this hour. Mallard of the third degree all coming
up as we work our way through the overnight hours here,
(14:39):
and let's see who is next year. I don't know
if I want to read that on the air late night
drug tester says, never an easy monologue for you to
give year after year. But better your Clippers bow out
now and not beat your boss's Timberwolves in the Western
Conference finals. If Birddog says, the Clippers might have loss
(15:00):
to the mav Res. But you know what's even more
embarrassing firing your coach after hanging a banner for that
stupid nd season tournament. The Lakers haven't reached rock bottom yet,
they must be close. Yeah, they're right next to it,
right next to it. Clearly, who else you have? Page down?
(15:22):
Page down? Shane in Des Moines's I watched as much
of the Tom Brady roast as Eddie did the NBA.
I'm hoping someone on the crew did so it can
fill me in when we already talked about that, Shane,
I don't know what you were doing last are we
already thought podcast and go back and hear the podcast.
I mean, I'm not doing another monologue on the Brady
(15:43):
Radio roast. It was very good. I highly recommend it.
I give it five out of five stars. The King
Rory writes in says, my condolences to you and the Clippers,
but it is obviously you are somewhere between denial and
bargaining in the seven state. Is a grief once you
realize the Clippers will never win a championship in your life. No, no, no, no,
(16:04):
the Clippers have already won. They've got the richest owner
in sports. They've gonna have the greatest arena in all
of sport anywhere any country in the world. They're gonna
have the greatest arena when that thing opens up, and
everyone wants to be a Clipper. So I don't see
it downside wrong. YEA burner account, says Benjamin. I've been
your burner account for years now, and at this point,
(16:26):
I honestly feel kind of sorry for you, my man.
Year after year, the same result will this year be
the tipping point or do you wash, rinse and repeat.
No burner count A. The Dodgers won the World Series
a couple of years ago, hardest World Series both time.
I really count two World Series twenty seventeen and twenty twenty,
so they won two championships because the team is cheating
(16:47):
that the a holes from Houston. So that's two championships
for the Dodgers. The Rams beat Joe Burrow and Cincinnati
in the greatest Super Bowl I've seen in my lifetime,
So there's a championship there. So you've got that in.
The Clippers made the final four. So things are going
very well. Do not feel bad for me. Things are
going very well, and it's good to see the a
holes are still up to their old tricks there. And
(17:08):
you see over the weekend a security guard in Houston
had a fan turn their shirt inside out. This is
seven years later and we've been told, wow, you know,
nobody cares about the cheating anymore, and we've moved on
from that. Well. Woman at Washington Nationals fan wore a
(17:28):
T shirt and Astro security made her turn the shirt
inside out, and the shirt said it had a picture
of a foul pole and it said bang foul poles,
not trash cans was what it said. Oh my god,
that's how Tooby might see it with his little eyes.
He'll be very offended by that. He might. He might
(17:50):
show him the buzzer. So absurd, so so absurd. H.
This is the problem, rob man fraud. And this is
why as long as I have a microphone, I don't
even care. If I don't have a microphone, I'll just
go outside and start screaming like a crazy person. As
long as this goes on, no punishment. Rob Manford and
(18:11):
Baseball have run interference. They have run interference for the
cheaters of twenty seventeen, and I don't care if it's
twenty twenty four to nine. This is still a relevant
story because look, here's a poor, harmless, middle aged woman
who was forced to turn her shirt inside out because
it said bang foul poles, not trash can. That's the
a holes. That's the a holes right there. Ska rou
(18:35):
them is what I say. Scroo them. This go to
the phones. Will say hello to Poppy in San Diego,
Hello Poppy.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Bird Man Meller. Hey, I'm not telling you I'm happy
single to mile, I'm so excited, and I like your
Sorry Eddie, that was amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
You know, honest, it's not saying go to myle Poppy anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Go from that.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
That's I was supposed to say the last. But you
know what, I really liked your opening, Manila. And you know,
as a Netflix shareholder, I appreciate you talking about Tom
Brady getting roasted and you guys, you guys don't have
the fuck. Thank you for being a customer, Ben Maler
and everyone. As a shareholder Netflix, I really appreciate that
talks over five eighty. But you know what I mean
(19:22):
to tell you what I wanted to tell you, Ben
is I don't know if you know I got some
breaking news for you. You know, Arnie, he was saying
that he was saying that for some example, he doesn't
like coming from Ben Malors. Arnie. He said he knew
your schedule right, so he was saying that he knew
you were off for the whole week, and he knew
your whole schedule and he made it in my kid,
he talks to you and he says he doesn't want
(19:43):
to do the show right here.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Well I don't. I don't know what Arnie said. Arnie's afraid.
He's afraid of you, Poppy. He's afraid of he's afraid
of the malor militia. And that's just the reality. And Arnie,
you know, he's more than welcome if he wants to
sit in when I have to go away for whatever reason.
Arnie can come in here and do the show. But
he can't handle the militia. He has to take medication
(20:05):
from dealing with the idiots to call the show.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I agree you with saying that. And you know what,
I'm gonna roast. I'm gonna roast Arnie. You know, Arnie
with your Arizona iron those wild guys. Nobody cares about that,
you know, Arnie, And then me, his picks are horrible
that you just gotta you gotta say it ticks people.
I'm gonna I'm roasting you, Arnie. And then and I
know people want to hear picks picking with be heard
(20:29):
right here, and you guys can find me on YouTube
on my tunnel.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Wait been well, no, we don't need you to promote
I mean, you want to promout yourself doing on your own,
you don't need to promote it on my show.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
Okay, let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
Let me tell you something about I want to talk
to the NBA. Yes, I know, you open up with the NBA.
And this this is what I'm like, going Sam on
the NBA. Is the NBA, Gururgule. I don't know if
Scott Foster is gonna be right.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
You can't, you can't, you can't pick you don't know
where guy. And by the way, Scott Foster did he
did he not do the last game between the Knicks
and the and the sixth and everyone and you you
you said, oh well Scott Foster bet off Philadelphia. Well
not so, yes, come at me.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
I'm waiting for that. I thank you.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
That's a good roast matter.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
And actually there's a pattern with this. Scott Foster lost
the seventy six ers. On the next game, he reps
the home team. You guys want to bet on the
home team on the money line, just to money line.
I think he's going to be wrapping the one Boston
Celtics and against the team that just want today, the
Kidney Cavs. I think it's gonna be.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
A fower all right, opinion.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You don't know yet. You won't know you til the morning.
Six and all right, all right, I gotta go. Thank
you all right, that's wonderful. You're you're wondering the point
spread for the game. Well, actually there's two games on
this sixth day of May. The Nuggets were a four
(21:52):
and a half point they're up to a five and
a half point favorite over the Timberwolves and the Knickerbockers
also five and a half point favorite. That's actually down
a little bit. The Pacers opened up a getting six
and a half, so the Knicks rather laying six and
a half to start, and now it's at five and
a half. So those are the games coming up on
(22:12):
this Monday, Monday Fun Day. I'll go back to the falls.
Will Saleo to America's favorite drag queen caller in Buffalo.
Hello to Fulexus, Hello for Lexus. Hmmm, I think Felexus
has gone to bed. I was gonna ask for Lexis
if if Felexus was planning on traveling down to the
mallor meet and greet in Charleston, but I don't think
(22:36):
Felexis will make that trip. I thank you, Flexis.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Let's say, how's your what's your flight like? For that?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I'm just curious, Well, there are no direct flight cities.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
I didn't think so.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
So I'll be flying into Atlanta and then flying flying
on to a beautiful Myrtle Beach. You ever been to
Myrtle Beach?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I have never been to the great state of South Carolina.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I have not either, so I'll let you.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Know the Palmetto State.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
I was told by someone who knows that now. I
was in Virginia Beach a couple of years ago. I
had to go to a wedding in North Carolina, but
we flew into Virginia Beach because it was close and
that that was not much to look at Virginia Beach.
He was kind of kind of like Venice Beach but worse,
you know, But then that had cool military like they had.
(23:20):
The military is big there. They had military basically.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Now, you and Jonas Knox pass you know, two ships
in the night.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yes, we did.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Did you talk to him because he's lived in South Carolina?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, I know, I did. I asked him and he
said that when he worked there, he worked. Jonas worked
in radio in South Carolina. He had no money, so
he couldn't afford to go to any of the good places.
That's what he told me. So, yeah, I don't know.
I have family there, so I'll just, you know, whatever,
whatever they want to go, we'll do that. It'll be
wonderful and amazing. And unless it's not, and then I'll
(23:51):
rip them and and all that. So getting salty, Rudy
go Bear, the least popular player in the NBA, Rudy Gobert.
He was shading his former team, the Utah Jazz while
praising While praising his new team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, he
said he had never been on a team like Minnesota
(24:12):
that cares about each other. What isn't that sweet? So
it turns out the Utah Jazz, with Spider Mitchell and
all those other guys, they just didn't care for each other.
But the Minnesota Timberwolves, they hug each other. They love
each other. They can't get enough. Can I see your ball, sir?
I'd like to see a lot of that going on
in the showers.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Saw this note from the NFL. The headline was Johnson
announcing his retirement. And that's a common name. I was thinking,
who could this be? Johnson? Johnson? Johnson and Johnson turns
out it was running back Duke Johnson. You may or
may not remember.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Is this a big deal without good respect? He's a
maagabond journeyman.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Running same thing.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
He is fine, But we're gonna we're gonna stop and
honor Duke Johnson's career.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
It's funny because I was exact same thing. Well, how
is this aheadline? No disrespect, but don't get it Duke Johnson. Yes,
how will you remember the Duke Johnson era in the NFL?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Very memorable?
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:20):
How many teams can you name that he played for?
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Well, Cleveland that was the big one.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
But he played with the Texans, I think also, right, he.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Did play for the Texans and then had a very
brief stint in both Miami and Buffalo.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I don't remember him with no.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Not for Miami for that, nor do I he had
He had west seventy one carries in Miami. I guess
that's not nothing. But he had two carries in Buffalo.
Appeared in one game, so four four yards, so four
more yards than you?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, thank you for that. It is the Ben
Mahler Show. As we roll on through the overnight hours,

football in the NFL?

Ben Maller, they call the ball the duke? They do
call the ball the duke.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
Well, the football is more well known than the football
player by the same name.

That wasn't funny. Why are you laughing?
Speaker 7 (26:25):
That was not That was historically funny, Ben Maller. Now

ourselves so seriously. There's no one nobody I know that

He does definitely doesn't have a car. I know he
doesn't have a car. What if he's got like maybe
(31:30):
a sleeping bag. I'm not sure what his situation is.
And none of the things we just talked about me

he will not know his number. He will not be
able to figure out how to download the podcast. I
will walk him through it. He won't be able to
figure that out. I will explain to him how to
get back on social media. He will not know how
(31:52):
to do that. So all everything I just said, none
of that will happen. None of that's going to happen.
Let's say hello to Tiger in Utah. Hello Tiger Man
in Utah.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
Good to hear from you. I hope you having a
great weekend.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
A half of sell up here.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
But snow, it's May. You can't get snow in May.
Who gets snow in May?
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Well, when you're like eight thousand seed up, you get
some sell.
Speaker 6 (32:19):
In May, I guess. But apparently I know you're a
big Clippers fan.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
But I want to ask you a Lakers question.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Do you think that it's worth worth the Lakers time
to actually keep Lebron the guys talking about Ony and
team in Vegas?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
And yeah, So here's the way, here's the way I'll
answer it. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So from a business standpoint,
Lebron is great because a lot of people will buy stuff.
The Lakers don't need to really worry about that. They
have a built in kool Aid drinkers that will buy
their product. But you have they're if you're gonna get
(32:54):
rid of Lebron, you have to replace him with someone
who's going to put up big stats, which they can
certainly do because they have they have no shortage of
getting players to the Lakers that have had have big names.
I would get out of lebron business. I would rather
get out a year or two soon than a year
too late. And I don't know what kind of goodies
Lebron's taken to be this productive. But if you know,
your Lakers, get somebody a little younger, shake it up,
(33:16):
a little bit, shake up the mix, that's what I
would do. All right, Well, all right, Tiger all right, yeah,
there you go, short and sweet tiger Man. No LSU references,
no Baton Rouge references from Tiger Man. He's slipping up
his game. Clearly. It's the beginning of the new week.
That's why. Now next home. We have the instant of
(33:38):
ice line straight ahead Mallard the third degree. But here's
the instant trivia. Here we go Cleveland. That's a baseball team.
They have a player by the name of Jose Ramirez.
He just hit his fifth home run in a ten
plus pitch played appearance. Only three MLB players have more
than four such home runs in those situations since they
(33:59):
started tracking that statistic back in nineteen eighty eight. They
are Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Helton, and Blank. Again, Jose Ramirez
of the Tribe the fifth hit his fifth home run
ten plus pitch play appearance. Only three MLB players have
more than four such home runs since the start of
pitches being tracked like that in nineteen eighty eight. They
(34:20):
are Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Helton, and Blank. That is the
insta tribua the answer. We'll get to it next.

pooping on those of us in the Hampton Roads area.
The only thing Myrtle Beach has on Virginia Beach is
golf courses. I heard it, see Capital of Miniature Golf.
Mallard prop gusts every time I walk past Zoltar. I
wonder how a verbal octagon with him and Andrea might
entertain the Mallad militia. It's a great IDEA time now
(35:19):
for the instant trivia. Cleveland outfielder Jose Ramirez his fifth
home run in a ten plus pitch played appearance. Only
three MLB players have more than four such home runs
since they started tracking those back in nineteen eighty eight.
They are Paul Goldschmidt, Todd Helton and Blank. That is
(35:40):
the question, and what is the answer, unless he does
anyone know the answer? We do have coming up momentarily
here Mallard of the third degree. David Ortiz guessed by
Matt the Warrior Raider fan. Who else do we have
a Cobra? Also guested by Alf the Alien Opiner. Lafonso
Ellis from Cowboy Killer. That's his answer. Late Night Drug
(36:03):
tester says you are George Clooney, who is sixty three today.
Oscar de la Joya from Mister Knise. Mister nisk got
a good photo of him. Billy Ripkin from Donkey Sausage.
I had that card. I was gonna get rich on
that cart. Malo prop guy got this right. Bad job
by him. He cheated John Dude Stearns from I forty
Ian Dwight Evans guests by Rob in Minnesota. Who else
(36:25):
do we have? Alex Cora from Robbie the Mariner fan Eddie?
What say you, Eddie?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
I'm gonna go with another former Cleveland Indian and that
would be the great Pat Tabler.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Good name is Pat Tabla, the hitting coach for the Giants.
I think he might be. No, he's not the correct answer.
The correct answer. I got my pats mixed up. Paul
Konerko Dodger Farman who wasn't Wango Tango when I was
at Wango Tango back in the day. It's maller. How
(36:58):
about that degree. This is one gets grilled Google.
Speaker 8 (37:07):
All right, Ben Jalen Brunson has been amazing in these playoffs,
but Draymond Green doesn't think that will be enough for
the Knicks. He said on a recent podcast episode, that's
a ball dominant. Jalen Brunson ain't gonna get you to
the promised land.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Benize right. Well, Draymond Green ought to stick to kicking
guys in the nuts, is what he ought to do,
because listen on this one. The Knicks are not going
to the NBA Finals unless three or four Celtic players
get hurt. So that's the first thing. The second thing is,
Jalen Brunson has been great. He's been everything as advertised.
(37:39):
He's been as we mentioned last week, He's been what
Carmelo Anthony was supposed to be Jalen Brant. Jalen Brunson
has been, and the Knicks aren't. This is simply not
good enough. The fact that they beat the Sixers with
Jalen Brunson and whatnot. I mean, that's a testimonial to Brunson.
But they could absolutely go to the finals with Brunson,
but they got to get another good player around him.
Speaker 8 (38:01):
After the Clippers were eliminated over the weekend, reports surface
that Russell Westbrook will leave the Clippers this summer due
to having to come off the bench, Ben, Will Westbrook
be able to get starting job anywhere?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Well, ay, he said that was He claimed that was fake.
He said he tried to debunk that. B The only
teams that would sign him would be to sell tickets.
Does he really sell tickets at this point? Are people
going out to buy tickets to watch Russell Westbrook?
Speaker 8 (38:25):
No, he's they go to yell at him, see if
they can get in a fight with them.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Well, that's easy to do. But yeah, yeah, I mean
he should go to just stay with the Clippers right next.
Speaker 8 (38:33):
The Minnesota Twins had a rough start to the season,
but then they reeled off their first twelve win twelve
game win streak easy for me to say, Yeah, their
longest since nineteen ninety one when they won the World Series. Ben,
do you think the Twins are legit?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
They are a playoff contender, but only because of the division.
I know the records are inflated in the Central but
that's not a great division, Joe, Yeah, they have a
shot to make the Fluffs because of location. How do
we know pass this edition? Start Dama
