We all mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is our number two, our number two, back at
it on the original Recipe podcast, and we head to
the Eastern Conference part of the bracket, and we focus
in on the Knicks who did not get it done?
Why couldn't Jalen Brunson's Knickerbockers close out the series in Boston? Also,
(00:27):
who is the biggest X factor the X factor in
Boston's win without Jason Tatum?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Now, is this loss an anomaly.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
For Tom Thibodeau's New York squad or a sign of
tending doom on the horizon?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Very dramatic.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We'll check in on that as well, and all of
it coming your way right here in our number two. Well,
they playing the Big Apple, but on this night they
were the big rotten Apple. Welcome in beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We are in the air everywayre that's right hand in hand.
As we know that sleep can wait, but sports takes
can not. What you need the takes I need My
sports takes coast to coast, border to border and beyond
(01:27):
on the mast and oncharacteristically powerful microphones of FSR ammating
live from the sack, are takes are so good you'll
buy him by the sack from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by really old man River Mike, who's in
(01:49):
Texas and says he spends most of the show listening
while he's on the throne, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Believe he's a king.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
This portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible by
ty Iraq. For over forty years, tyre Iraq 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 mobile tire installation.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Tyre raq dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
The way the tire buying show to be so our
lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball. We'll go
to Boston, a closeout game for the Celtics' opponent at
the Knicks, to advance Jalen Brunson and the Knickerbocker traveling
party going up I ninety five.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Of course, they.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Flew work assignment, work assignment versus Jalen Brown and the
Celtics who are weather beaten without Jason Tatum. It was
game number five, Game five New York with a chance
to level up and play Tyres Hallipburton and the Indiana
basketball team in the Eastern Conference Finals and wake up
(02:59):
the old clip of Reggie Miller from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
But I'm not sure whether you were watching this or not.
It was the early game on the basketball card. Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The story here was Derek White, who had thirty four
points seven seven three point shots through the basket there
to lead the Celtics to eight laffer they win one
twenty seven to one oh two haha.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
In Game five against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Night there at the TV Garden Eastern Conference semi Finals,
the Celtics, who could not make a three point shot
in multiple games in this series to save their life,
connected on twenty two twenty two to three pointers to
post their first home victory of the series and the
(03:48):
first without Jason Tatum. Following the snap crackle pop goes
the Achilles the ten in injury there. Now, the better
story is in the losing locker room where Josh Hart
was bloody early in the game. He led the Knicks
with twenty four points. He did leave briefly and that
(04:09):
was in the first quarter. There a bloody gash with
blood all over his face, and that was an omen
of things to come for the Knicks. There an inadvertent
elbow and he bled like a tomato.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So that was part of the story there. The photos
went viral.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Jalen Brunson had twenty two, but a very mellow kind
of performance by Brunson there he fouled out, was seven
nineteen to go in the game.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
He was out.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So the next do not do the thing they were
supposed to do at the time they were supposed to
do it, And so they will now have another opportunity.
They've got three chances to win one game. Now they
have two chances to win one game. The Knicks will
try to win the series. Back in midtown Manhattan, right
over Penn Station there on Friday, if the Celtics win
(05:02):
Game seven. We love Game seven. I want a Game seven.
I would link, I would Can we make that happen?
We all think positive vibrations. Let's get a Game seven
that would be in Boston on Monday, in Boston on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Why couldn't Jalen Brunson's Knicks close out this series?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Why could they not get this done? I've got my
observation of this.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I've got cocktail scrub a dub dub and PSA, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are gonna make a dirty water dog, is what We're
gonna make, a street dirty water dog. And that's what
we're gonna do, all right, So number I said Number Yeah,
(05:58):
let's start with the obvious that New York did not
play with the same mojo that they had been playing
with there. They looked I don't know that I would
use the word disheveled, but they were just a little off.
I'm not sure why that was. Some Knickerbocker apologists.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Are saying, well, it was the officials. The NBA wants
us to go to six. They actually wanted to go
to seven. They need a game seven. Blah blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Jalen Brunson sounded like the Uber driver call we took
last hour.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He was very subdued, very subdued.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
He was restrained, and several of the Knicks players were
completely frazzled, completely frazzled in this game. We'll get to
them in a minute. But here's Tom Thibodeau. You'll hear
the question and the answer. He's the coach of the NIXT.
Tom Thibodeau on how upsetting this was. Take a listen, Tom,
(06:55):
just off the bat, what most disappointed you tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
That we didn't play for forty eight minutes and you
know the start of the second quarter, we didn't play well.
We had a lead, didn't play tough with the lead,
came out to start the third, didn't play well. There
I can't afford to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Okay, so individually mentioned Brunson, who was.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Fine but needed to be better than that. But the
real villain.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
There was literally nothing redeeming about Og and Anenoby's performance.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
There was nothing redeeming.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Og played like he was Doa, not the old gangster
he was Doa. Played like someone spiked his cocktail with
elephant tranquilizers. He took twelve shots, he missed eleven of them,
shot less than ten percent eight point three percent in
a closeout game, had two assists, two turnovers, and three fouls.
(07:57):
How about Michale Bridges, he said, some bad games, he
saved them with key defensive plays late in games, and
no chance to do that here. Took fourteen shots, missed
ten of them. Missed ten of the fourteen shots he took.
That was a pratt fall performance by mkil Bridges. So
New York led by nine in the second quarter, Tom
(08:18):
Thibodeau referenced that they stopped playing from that point they
were up by nine to the close of the game,
they were outscored by what thirty five points? I believe
it was from that point to the end of the game,
which I.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Don't think is good. What do I know? I just
do the overnight show. I don't think that's good. Maybe
it is.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Maybe there's some kind of positivity. I don't know what
it would be, but who knows? All right now, paytrio
so who was the biggest X factor for Boston Without
Jason Tatum? Other people had to step up as the
line goes, and Jalen Brown was fine or Devin Derek White.
(08:55):
Derek White went bonkers. Derek White was trending. He was silky,
He was the smooth operator with all the three point shots.
He put on a shooting clinic there from behind the arc.
Those moneyballs. Now that said for me, it's scrub a
dub dub Luke Cornet, the scrub. I had to look
(09:17):
this guy up. Who the f is Luke Cornet? Who
is this guy? And he went out had ten points,
nine rebounds, seven block shots.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He went mutumbo, if you're old, you know who that is.
At twenty five minutes and as Shaq would say, I owe.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.
May the Force be with you, Luke, force multiplier, the butcher,
the baker, the candlestick maker, and that candlestick keeping hope alive.
The flame of hope is alive, keeping hope alive. And
now Joe Mizzoula gave a bunch of wild soundbites. This
guy is total whack a doodle, Joe Mozula. So, Joe
(09:55):
Mizoula was asked about the mentality for the rest of
the series. He said, four hours ago he said, we
had just one win and we had win one game.
Rather win one game, and now we just have to
win one game. That is known as the old wine
in New bottle. Old wine in New bottle a fancy
way to say, take it one day at a time.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Live in the moment. You must live in the moment now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The other quote which was hilarious from Joe Mizoula, and
it reminded me of a random NFL coach from years ago.
Joe Missoula was asked about the situation involving Chris stops
for Zingis. Now, Porzingis has been there, but hasn't really
been there because he's got the gobbledee gook and we're
(10:44):
not sure what he has. But it can't be that hard,
it can't be that difficult because he's playing right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean, it's not going to kill you. Whatever it is,
we don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's not contagious or else he wouldn't be with the team,
so we're not sure about that. But Joe Missoula, well,
I think we have the audience. So listen is Joe Mozoula.
Listen to him talk about Chris tops Porzingis and like
why he wasn't out there and take a listen.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Joe, You've always trusted your core lineup. You don't change
like the main lineup a ton You trust your top players.
So making the switch going away from KP for the
second half, just how difficult of a decision has it been?
Kind of maybe evaluating that throughout the series and then
making that call tonight.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I mean he did, I mean, he couldn't breathe and
you know, so he absolutely necessary and so that was
just a decision between me and him. He was having
just difficulties breathing, but he wanted to be out there.
And you know, if we absolutely needed him, we would
have been able to go to him.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And rely on him.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
But you've seen a lot of that this year. Is
changing the lineup at halftime is something that we've done
a lot, you know, this year, because it just adds
a different dimension and can change some sub patterns throughout
the game. So took credit to the guys just buying
into what gives us the best chance to win.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
We don't need all that.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The money part of it was he couldn't breathe like
they I don't know who edited that, but that's the
key part.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That he couldn't breathe, which reminded me.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
If you've been with the show a long time, you
might remember years ago, the Indianapolis Colts had a coach
named Chuck Pegano and it was a primetime game. Chuck
Pegana was coaching the Colts. I forget the name of
the quarterback. The quarterback played but wasn't supposed to play,
and so after the game Pegano said he was literally
(12:27):
on his deathbed.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Is what the coach said, I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It was literally under Now you have Joe Mozula saying
Porzingis couldn't breathe. So I went back and I looked
at the clip. I did not see any oxygen. I
did not see any oxygen for Forzingis.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
So if a man can't breathe, you need oxygen.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Fortunately, we can't report he has not died despite not
being able to breathe.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay, final point. Here is literally deathbed. Oh there it is.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
That's Chuck PEGANA No, no, that's what. Do we know
what year that was? That's got to be old. Now,
that's a long time that two fourteen.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Wow, man, That'srson wentz was it?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I think it was a hassleback or something, one of
the hassleback guys.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't, I guess. Look up quarterbacks for the Colson
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's been eleven years since that sound bite. I still
remember it. Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
All right, final point, so let's get to the New
York side of things. Is this loss by the Knickerbockers.
Is this loss an anomaly for Tom Thibodeau's Tom Thibodeau,
Tom Thibodeau his New York squad or a sign of
penning doom. So is this loss an anomaly for New York?
Or is this a sign of pending doom?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I love, absolutely love sky is falling Talk Radio.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I love it to me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
This is a public service announcement. It's an old school
public service announcement from the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
Don't play with matches. You're playing with matches.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
The Knicks are futzing around with matches, and in this case,
they're playing with their food. You keep hope alive for
the Celtics. You're keeping hope alive. The series has already
been handed to New York. You're up three to one.
Tatum goes down. You're up three to one.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
So if you look at our audio, we don't have
a telestrator because we're on radio, even though there's a
camera in here. But if you look at the audio straighter,
game six becomes do or die. Game six becomes don't
poop your pants. Game six becomes a diaper game. You
mess that up, And I would refer you to the chart.
(14:49):
F around and find out chart. I've got it right
up here. F around and find out.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
For now, things are okay.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That's one game, it doesn't matter, but it sets the foundation.
It sets the foundation that game okay, and even in
defeat like the next, they seem to be in fine
spirits and all that didn't seem to have worked off.
There was one moment I saw this clip making the
rounds on the socials at the Garden there in Boston.
(15:16):
After Jalen Brunson had fouled out. They put him on
the jumbo tron and he waved to the crowd and
it was hilarious because he's on the scoreboard and somebody
took this video from the upper deck and so you
see Brunson sitting on the Knicks bench, but you can
see it through the scoreboard and he's waving.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
At the crowd. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And they had a watch party in Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A bunch of Nick lap dogs were.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Out there and they were chanting, but they originally channing
or they're gonna win. And then they moved to Nixon six.
With the series now headed back to Madison Square Garden
on Friday night, you blow that and then it's a
do or die Game seven in Boston, and that puts
the Knicks on notice, choking dog notice, choking dog notice.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And despite having some family that like the Knicks, I look.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
At this as an opportunity. If the Knicks can blow
this on Friday. How awesome it would be to see
Tracy Morgan go out there and give a pep talk
to the Knicks before Game seven and then watch them
go out and projectile vomit like Tracy Morgan does at
Knicks games all over the court in a game seven.
(16:37):
So I and those other celebrities on Celebrity Row and
all that, man, that would be fun to watch all
them cry, Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
God, that would be cool me and when I love that?
Speaker 8 (16:45):

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Not back to bloviating Ben, All right, all right, Bill,
let's get back to it. Began this hour with a
Celtic Nicks monologue as the Celtics avoid elimination, they stay alive,
staying alive, stay alive, and they do it with some
rasmataz when going away.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
A lie's alive.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It What does it all mean? What does it all mean?
We'll find out sooner enough.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
And that is at Ben Mallor. That's at Ben Mallory.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
And Enzo did say he will be at the Malor
Meet and Greet in Vancouver two weeks. I can't believe
it's only two weeks away. Lorena's informed me she's gonna
be there, so we're a couple of weeks away from that.
It's gonna be a fun event. It's in Vancouver on
a Thursday night, so this is our Thursday show. So
(20:48):
two weeks from today, what do we say, like six
thirty seven o'clock until ten. I'm flying in that day,
we're all flying in. I got a little later flight,
So it depends on how all that goes. There's no hiccups,
I'll be there as early as possible. If there are hiccups,
well that becomes problematic. That becomes problematic. So anyway, that'll
(21:09):
be the night of the event. The Big Mallard Meet
and Greet. Details are on the social media, not on
X but you can find them on my Instagram page.
There's a video clip that was posted a couple of
days ago. Ben Maller on Fox also on the Facebook
page Ben Mahlor Show. That's Ben Mallor's show. Now, I
could give you the information, but most people that listen
(21:31):
to the to.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
The to the radio audio.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Are not able to just write stuff down and remember
all that and you know the whole because we got
to and it's it's it can be confusing.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And I can give you the name of the venue
if you want, you can google it. Just just google it.
That's all you have to just google it and then
you'll you'll be good to go.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I guess we probably should give out the name, right Loreen.
I mean, that would be the proper thing to do.
That would be the adult thing to do.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, all right. So the actual meet and greet that
we're doing, and we hope to have another event. Right now,
we only have one event.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Maybe we'll just get everyone that shows up and we'll
do something else that weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I don't know, you know how many people.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Are gonna be there, who knows, Maybe to be packed,
maybe it'll be seven people, maybe there'll be nobody, but
we'll be there. Mallard Meet and Greet Thursday, May twenty ninth,

And I'm thinking they'll be basketball or well it's so
it be hockey. We can watch hockey.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
They might even put throw me a bone and put
a basketball game on one of the TVs, but that'll
be that night there in Vancouver.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
So we'll have a lot of fun basketball team in Canada,
So you know, yeah, I think they'll pump that on.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I'm old enough.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Remember when they had an NBA team in Vancouver for
like a couple of years there. They were terrible. They
were so bad, the Vancouver Grizzlies. Holy crap, did they suck.
Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to uh.
I didn't want to mention we played the Chuck Pegano
sound and Alf the show historian Alf says that was
Matt Hasselbeck. We were talking that the coach was talking about.
(23:36):
He was literally on his deathbed. Matt Hasselbeck, Ike in Roseville, Minnesota,
says Missoula sounds like a town in Montana.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Ye, a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Shannon moy says the schedule release in the NFL likely
caused Michael leprechaun an unscheduled release.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't know about that. Check on that. All right,
let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to eeny
meany miney mall. Let's say hello to Jed who fled?
Who's in the Sunshine State? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 8 (24:07):
Two things you don't ever do. You don't hassle back,
You don't hassle mouth went back in ben mallor radio legens.
Now you make good to see it, even though I'm
five hundred jars from the neighbor, and that I'm looking
there right now, I'm trying to walk to my friends.
I'm on the road walking. But would you believe how
far your voice hold my phone can carry in the
darkness of the rural foot Florida, thousands of yards. I
(24:31):
got people at the Interstate inn like you put the
interest to the state calling me telling he's to that
I'm not represented to state very well. So I want
to take them as the ken No, no, no, but
I'm a bit anxious to be awaiting hopefully they're on
the show, on a.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Show, Lorenda. What did they say?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Well, I think he was saying, Ben that he's walking
on a deserted road and that your voice is traveling
very far on speed. That's exactly what he said.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What about the end of that, though, I couldn't understand
the end part like he started going off on a
tangent there at the end that's.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Hey, hey, Jed, do you call Glenn Becker? Only me?
Speaker 8 (25:17):
I called Glen back the radio guys. I called you
a radio like giving god, Well, I know you called
me a guy.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I was very kind of you to do that. I
appreciate that Glenn has been been doing this a long time.
But do you actually call his show? Does he take calls?
I don't know does he?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I am not trying to around because my cousin's life
hold of the houses. All that they do take calls, they
take calls or not. It's hardly get into those lines
and it is yours. I don't know why they is
whether it stay until lett me you have hours, or
whether it's the nationally syndicated radio all the time.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Yeah, you can't you believe that?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's harder to get into that show.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh, the Glenn Beck Show.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Yeah, it's a confusion of entertainment and enlightenment. You don't
have a fusion of anything you do. You got the
fusion of clippers and sucking.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I forget what I feel. Thank you, thank you, Jay
go away. All right, let's go to Bobby and Illinois. Hello, Bobby, welcome.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
Hey man, I called yesterday, told me to call back,
so I'm calling you back. I told Coop I'm a
conspiracy guy, but I don't know if you could really
call a conspiracy with us right in front of your face.
What's going on in the NBA is the atrocity first,
the lottery fixing that, now this game to make sure
to get back to New York.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
This is awful.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
It is really bad.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
It's it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
But well, Bobby, the conspiracy to extend the series or
did you see Draymond Green got fined for mouthing about
the point spread the other day. That would feed into
your conspiracy theory, right, that the NBA is so sensitive
about the perception that all this is rigged that they
(26:56):
find Draymond Green fifty thousand dollars for questioning the integrity
of the game officials. He was referring to the point
spread in a previous game in this series. At the
at the end there were I guess a late foul
call or whatever, and he was mouthing the point spread,
and so that that upset. But I promise you the
(27:17):
NBA does not want like Oklahoma City and Indiana in
the finals. They do not want that. That's not what
they want. They do not need that. That would not
be good for business.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I got all On another note, I
got some sad news or report. Uh vamb committed suicide
on my truck tonight, but uh I'm still moving.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You killed?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, I know?
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Did you get did you get out of your did
you get out of your truck to make a proper
meal out of Bambi? Did you did you save Bamby
to have some nice stakes later?
Speaker 7 (27:55):
No? No, no, no, no, Jerky or net like that.
I just uh, I just made sure I took the
proper pictures I needed to for the company. And uh,
you know, of course I'm saddened by that. Uh yeah, yeah,
it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
But Bamby ran in front of your truck? Is that
what you're saying is just I don't know where?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah there?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And how much how much damage was done to your truck? Well?
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Surprisingly not a lot. Uh it's just it's I'm driving
a Mac truck and so uh not a lot of
damage at all. Really, it's you know, I'm still moving.
There have been times where it hit you know, and
the truck. I'm so bad you can't continue your trip.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
But yeah, okay, yeah I'm cured. I'm cure. How fast
were you going? I'm wondering how fast going.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
To legal speed limit? Sixty five?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I like that you threw the legal speed limit. Uh
that's uh, that's what I know. Moving man.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
When when the moving man comes out here, he he
hates going to California because you're like, you can't go
over the speed limit like at all.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I think or they'll just they'll.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Thing, Yeah I got a I got a big chicket
out there. So you said I was at Needles. I'm
pretty sure you.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Know Needles, right, I have Needles?
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, I was the Needles heading back
to Chicago. I'm going down the hill and UH truck
in front.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Of me sport.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
So I get in the left lane and boom, I've
seen the media. There's this SI trooper.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
It was too late.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
I got back over the right land. He pulled me over.
It was four hundred and sixty dollars tickets.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, I can. I can one up you if you want.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I was leaving the Fox Sports radio studio and I
was turning left. I had I had my car worked on.
You know when you go to the shop, you have
your car worked on, and they futzed around the pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I showed up.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I showed up to the studio during the day, so
I left at night. It was dark when I left,
and I they had reset my lights where they turned
my light My lights are normally automatic, they turned them
off to manually turn on. So I drove like literally
a block down the street and a cop saw me.
(30:13):
Cherry Tops pulls me over and gave me a five
hundred dollars ticket for not having my lights on.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
I drove.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I drove one block, one block.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Without my lights on, and I was like, couldn't he
give me a warning?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Every other cops all that. Yeah, they pull you over
because they want to make sure you're not drunk, and
then they tell you to turn your lights on.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
This this douche gave me a five hundred dollars ticket.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So there you go. Anyway, right, tell you Bobby conspiracy theory.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Season's only blank was younger. We all love youth.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Everyone loves youth. Everyone loves the youth. So that's the question.
What is the answer? A lot of reaction to Charlie's
phone call. Firk Dog says the answer is comode Charlie.
That that is the answer. Shannon Moyes says, Celtic legend
Walter McConney. I was very lucky to have a meal
(37:39):
one time with Tommy Heinzen, who told me why he
loved Walter McCarthy so much, And it was one of
the most memorable nights I've had, you know, doing sports stuff.

Is so cute?
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Kevin Durant is the answer?
Speaker 3 (38:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Here we go, here, we go here to third degree.
It's la la la la.
Speaker 11 (38:29):
Cool Ben just Steelers defensive end Cam Hayward recently said
on his podcast that the Steelers could be a better
team because of the George Pickens trade. He pointed to
Mike Tomlin's track record of trading receivers and it working
out better for the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Ben, do you think he's right with this one?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Well, here's the way I'll say.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
The argument is additioned by subscriber by substraction.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Right, you're upside down. It shouldn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That George Pickens is a talented player, and that if
you just look at the trade, it's it's lopsided for Dallas.
But this is an erratic person. This is somebody who
does not show up every game, and he's got a
lot of blotches on his resume. The way I look
at it, the Steels are gonna be fine. Aaron Rodgers
will be there. They'll be about where there they always
(39:16):
are in Pittsburgh. I don't think they'll be better. They'll
be about where they have been. Next where they'll be
gonna win nine to ten games, and that's that.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Next.
Speaker 11 (39:23):
Bruce Arians made a radio appearance this week where he
said that if the Bucks stay healthy, that reaching the
Super Bowl is definitely obtainable. Ben, do you think Tampa
Bay has improved enough to take the next step this season?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Bruce Arians is full of crap, because no one stays healthy.
The injury rate in the NFL's Hudder sent. So if
the Buccaneers path to get into the super Bowl is
one hundred percent health, they're not going to the super Bowl.
Everyone has injuries. You've got to have depth, You've got
to overcome the injuries. So anytime I hear someone say, well,
if they stay healthy, of course that's not the contest.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Next.
Speaker 11 (39:56):
Shaq said in a recent interview that he thinks he
may have won more titles with any Hardaway than he
did with Kobe had Penny not gotten injured.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
Ben do you agree with that.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Well, again we go back to, you know, in the multiverse.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, there's a dimension in the multiverse where Penny Hardaway
is amazing and people thought he was going to be
some better at the time, and then Kobe ever would
turn out to be. But I think Shack is blowing
smoke on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
How do we do?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
You passed this edition?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
That is a way put it on the court. I
won the game the right up. I won the game,
StEB new Balls, I'm a winner.
We all mission impossible.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It is our number two, our number two, back at
it on the original Recipe podcast, and we head to
the Eastern Conference part of the bracket, and we focus
in on the Knicks who did not get it done?
Why couldn't Jalen Brunson's Knickerbockers close out the series in Boston? Also,
(00:27):
who is the biggest X factor the X factor in
Boston's win without Jason Tatum?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Now, is this loss an anomaly.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
For Tom Thibodeau's New York squad or a sign of
tending doom on the horizon?
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Very dramatic.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
We'll check in on that as well, and all of
it coming your way right here in our number two. Well,
they playing the Big Apple, but on this night they
were the big rotten Apple. Welcome in beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We are in the air everywayre that's right hand in hand.
As we know that sleep can wait, but sports takes
can not. What you need the takes I need My
sports takes coast to coast, border to border and beyond
(01:27):
on the mast and oncharacteristically powerful microphones of FSR ammating
live from the sack, are takes are so good you'll
buy him by the sack from the Fox Sports Radio Studios,
as approved by really old man River Mike, who's in
(01:49):
Texas and says he spends most of the show listening
while he's on the throne, and I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Believe he's a king.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
This portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible by
ty Iraq. For over forty years, tyre Iraq 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 mobile tire installation.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Tyre raq dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
The way the tire buying show to be so our
lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball. We'll go
to Boston, a closeout game for the Celtics' opponent at
the Knicks, to advance Jalen Brunson and the Knickerbocker traveling
party going up I ninety five.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Of course, they.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Flew work assignment, work assignment versus Jalen Brown and the
Celtics who are weather beaten without Jason Tatum. It was
game number five, Game five New York with a chance
to level up and play Tyres Hallipburton and the Indiana
basketball team in the Eastern Conference Finals and wake up
(02:59):
the old clip of Reggie Miller from back in the day.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
But I'm not sure whether you were watching this or not.
It was the early game on the basketball card. Maybe not.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The story here was Derek White, who had thirty four
points seven seven three point shots through the basket there
to lead the Celtics to eight laffer they win one
twenty seven to one oh two haha.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
In Game five against the Knicks on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Night there at the TV Garden Eastern Conference semi Finals,
the Celtics, who could not make a three point shot
in multiple games in this series to save their life,
connected on twenty two twenty two to three pointers to
post their first home victory of the series and the
(03:48):
first without Jason Tatum. Following the snap crackle pop goes
the Achilles the ten in injury there. Now, the better
story is in the losing locker room where Josh Hart
was bloody early in the game. He led the Knicks
with twenty four points. He did leave briefly and that
(04:09):
was in the first quarter. There a bloody gash with
blood all over his face, and that was an omen
of things to come for the Knicks. There an inadvertent
elbow and he bled like a tomato.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So that was part of the story there. The photos
went viral.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Jalen Brunson had twenty two, but a very mellow kind
of performance by Brunson there he fouled out, was seven
nineteen to go in the game.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
He was out.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
So the next do not do the thing they were
supposed to do at the time they were supposed to
do it, And so they will now have another opportunity.
They've got three chances to win one game. Now they
have two chances to win one game. The Knicks will
try to win the series. Back in midtown Manhattan, right
over Penn Station there on Friday, if the Celtics win
(05:02):
Game seven. We love Game seven. I want a Game seven.
I would link, I would Can we make that happen?
We all think positive vibrations. Let's get a Game seven
that would be in Boston on Monday, in Boston on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
So let us discuss the question.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Why couldn't Jalen Brunson's Knicks close out this series?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Why could they not get this done? I've got my
observation of this.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I've got cocktail scrub a dub dub and PSA, and
we will combine all of these things together, and we
are gonna make a dirty water dog, is what We're
gonna make, a street dirty water dog. And that's what
we're gonna do, all right, So number I said Number Yeah,
(05:58):
let's start with the obvious that New York did not
play with the same mojo that they had been playing
with there. They looked I don't know that I would
use the word disheveled, but they were just a little off.
I'm not sure why that was. Some Knickerbocker apologists.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Are saying, well, it was the officials. The NBA wants
us to go to six. They actually wanted to go
to seven. They need a game seven. Blah blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Jalen Brunson sounded like the Uber driver call we took
last hour.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
He was very subdued, very subdued.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
He was restrained, and several of the Knicks players were
completely frazzled, completely frazzled in this game. We'll get to
them in a minute. But here's Tom Thibodeau. You'll hear
the question and the answer. He's the coach of the NIXT.
Tom Thibodeau on how upsetting this was. Take a listen, Tom,
(06:55):
just off the bat, what most disappointed you tonight?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
That we didn't play for forty eight minutes and you
know the start of the second quarter, we didn't play well.
We had a lead, didn't play tough with the lead,
came out to start the third, didn't play well. There
I can't afford to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Okay, so individually mentioned Brunson, who was.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Fine but needed to be better than that. But the
real villain.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
There was literally nothing redeeming about Og and Anenoby's performance.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
There was nothing redeeming.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Og played like he was Doa, not the old gangster
he was Doa. Played like someone spiked his cocktail with
elephant tranquilizers. He took twelve shots, he missed eleven of them,
shot less than ten percent eight point three percent in
a closeout game, had two assists, two turnovers, and three fouls.
(07:57):
How about Michale Bridges, he said, some bad games, he
saved them with key defensive plays late in games, and
no chance to do that here. Took fourteen shots, missed
ten of them. Missed ten of the fourteen shots he took.
That was a pratt fall performance by mkil Bridges. So
New York led by nine in the second quarter, Tom
(08:18):
Thibodeau referenced that they stopped playing from that point they
were up by nine to the close of the game,
they were outscored by what thirty five points? I believe
it was from that point to the end of the game,
which I.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Don't think is good. What do I know? I just
do the overnight show. I don't think that's good. Maybe
it is.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Maybe there's some kind of positivity. I don't know what
it would be, but who knows? All right now, paytrio
so who was the biggest X factor for Boston Without
Jason Tatum? Other people had to step up as the
line goes, and Jalen Brown was fine or Devin Derek White.
(08:55):
Derek White went bonkers. Derek White was trending. He was silky,
He was the smooth operator with all the three point shots.
He put on a shooting clinic there from behind the arc.
Those moneyballs. Now that said for me, it's scrub a
dub dub Luke Cornet, the scrub. I had to look
(09:17):
this guy up. Who the f is Luke Cornet? Who
is this guy? And he went out had ten points,
nine rebounds, seven block shots.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He went mutumbo, if you're old, you know who that is.
At twenty five minutes and as Shaq would say, I owe.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You an apology. I wasn't really familiar with your game.
May the Force be with you, Luke, force multiplier, the butcher,
the baker, the candlestick maker, and that candlestick keeping hope alive.
The flame of hope is alive, keeping hope alive. And
now Joe Mizzoula gave a bunch of wild soundbites. This
guy is total whack a doodle, Joe Mozula. So, Joe
(09:55):
Mizoula was asked about the mentality for the rest of
the series. He said, four hours ago he said, we
had just one win and we had win one game.
Rather win one game, and now we just have to
win one game. That is known as the old wine
in New bottle. Old wine in New bottle a fancy
way to say, take it one day at a time.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Live in the moment. You must live in the moment now.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The other quote which was hilarious from Joe Mizoula, and
it reminded me of a random NFL coach from years ago.
Joe Missoula was asked about the situation involving Chris stops
for Zingis. Now, Porzingis has been there, but hasn't really
been there because he's got the gobbledee gook and we're
(10:44):
not sure what he has. But it can't be that hard,
it can't be that difficult because he's playing right.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I mean, it's not going to kill you. Whatever it is,
we don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's not contagious or else he wouldn't be with the team,
so we're not sure about that. But Joe Missoula, well,
I think we have the audience. So listen is Joe Mozoula.
Listen to him talk about Chris tops Porzingis and like
why he wasn't out there and take a listen.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Joe, You've always trusted your core lineup. You don't change
like the main lineup a ton You trust your top players.
So making the switch going away from KP for the
second half, just how difficult of a decision has it been?
Kind of maybe evaluating that throughout the series and then
making that call tonight.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
I mean he did, I mean, he couldn't breathe and
you know, so he absolutely necessary and so that was
just a decision between me and him. He was having
just difficulties breathing, but he wanted to be out there.
And you know, if we absolutely needed him, we would
have been able to go to him.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And rely on him.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
But you've seen a lot of that this year. Is
changing the lineup at halftime is something that we've done
a lot, you know, this year, because it just adds
a different dimension and can change some sub patterns throughout
the game. So took credit to the guys just buying
into what gives us the best chance to win.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
We don't need all that.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
The money part of it was he couldn't breathe like
they I don't know who edited that, but that's the
key part.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
That he couldn't breathe, which reminded me.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
If you've been with the show a long time, you
might remember years ago, the Indianapolis Colts had a coach
named Chuck Pegano and it was a primetime game. Chuck
Pegana was coaching the Colts. I forget the name of
the quarterback. The quarterback played but wasn't supposed to play,
and so after the game Pegano said he was literally
(12:27):
on his deathbed.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Is what the coach said, I'll never forget that.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
It was literally under Now you have Joe Mozula saying
Porzingis couldn't breathe. So I went back and I looked
at the clip. I did not see any oxygen. I
did not see any oxygen for Forzingis.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
So if a man can't breathe, you need oxygen.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Fortunately, we can't report he has not died despite not
being able to breathe.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Okay, final point. Here is literally deathbed. Oh there it is.
That's it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
That's Chuck PEGANA No, no, that's what. Do we know
what year that was? That's got to be old. Now,
that's a long time that two fourteen.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Wow, man, That'srson wentz was it?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
I think it was a hassleback or something, one of
the hassleback guys.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I don't, I guess. Look up quarterbacks for the Colson
twenty fourteen.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
It's been eleven years since that sound bite. I still
remember it. Wow.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
All right, final point, so let's get to the New
York side of things. Is this loss by the Knickerbockers.
Is this loss an anomaly for Tom Thibodeau's Tom Thibodeau,
Tom Thibodeau his New York squad or a sign of
penning doom. So is this loss an anomaly for New York?
Or is this a sign of pending doom?
Speaker 3 (13:49):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I love, absolutely love sky is falling Talk Radio.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
I love it to me.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
This is a public service announcement. It's an old school
public service announcement from the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
Don't play with matches. You're playing with matches.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
The Knicks are futzing around with matches, and in this case,
they're playing with their food. You keep hope alive for
the Celtics. You're keeping hope alive. The series has already
been handed to New York. You're up three to one.
Tatum goes down. You're up three to one.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
So if you look at our audio, we don't have
a telestrator because we're on radio, even though there's a
camera in here. But if you look at the audio straighter,
game six becomes do or die. Game six becomes don't
poop your pants. Game six becomes a diaper game. You
mess that up, And I would refer you to the chart.
(14:49):
F around and find out chart. I've got it right
up here. F around and find out.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
For now, things are okay.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
That's one game, it doesn't matter, but it sets the foundation.
It sets the foundation that game okay, and even in
defeat like the next, they seem to be in fine
spirits and all that didn't seem to have worked off.
There was one moment I saw this clip making the
rounds on the socials at the Garden there in Boston.
(15:16):
After Jalen Brunson had fouled out. They put him on
the jumbo tron and he waved to the crowd and
it was hilarious because he's on the scoreboard and somebody
took this video from the upper deck and so you
see Brunson sitting on the Knicks bench, but you can
see it through the scoreboard and he's waving.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
At the crowd. It was pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
And they had a watch party in Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
A bunch of Nick lap dogs were.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Out there and they were chanting, but they originally channing
or they're gonna win. And then they moved to Nixon six.
With the series now headed back to Madison Square Garden
on Friday night, you blow that and then it's a
do or die Game seven in Boston, and that puts
the Knicks on notice, choking dog notice, choking dog notice.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And despite having some family that like the Knicks, I look.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
At this as an opportunity. If the Knicks can blow
this on Friday. How awesome it would be to see
Tracy Morgan go out there and give a pep talk
to the Knicks before Game seven and then watch them
go out and projectile vomit like Tracy Morgan does at
Knicks games all over the court in a game seven.
(16:37):
So I and those other celebrities on Celebrity Row and
all that, man, that would be fun to watch all
them cry, Oh.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
God, that would be cool me and when I love that?
Speaker 8 (16:45):

Celtic Nicks monologue as the Celtics avoid elimination, they stay alive,
staying alive, stay alive, and they do it with some
rasmataz when going away.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
A lie's alive.
Speaker 1 (19:44):

Speaker 2 (20:25):
And Enzo did say he will be at the Malor
Meet and Greet in Vancouver two weeks. I can't believe
it's only two weeks away. Lorena's informed me she's gonna
be there, so we're a couple of weeks away from that.
It's gonna be a fun event. It's in Vancouver on
a Thursday night, so this is our Thursday show. So
(20:48):
two weeks from today, what do we say, like six
thirty seven o'clock until ten. I'm flying in that day,
we're all flying in. I got a little later flight,
So it depends on how all that goes. There's no hiccups,
I'll be there as early as possible. If there are hiccups,
well that becomes problematic. That becomes problematic. So anyway, that'll
(21:09):
be the night of the event. The Big Mallard Meet
and Greet. Details are on the social media, not on
X but you can find them on my Instagram page.
There's a video clip that was posted a couple of
days ago. Ben Maller on Fox also on the Facebook

could give you the information, but most people that listen
(21:31):
to the to.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
The to the radio audio.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Are not able to just write stuff down and remember
all that and you know the whole because we got
to and it's it's it can be confusing.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
And I can give you the name of the venue
if you want, you can google it. Just just google it.
That's all you have to just google it and then
you'll you'll be good to go.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
I guess we probably should give out the name, right Loreen.
I mean, that would be the proper thing to do.
That would be the adult thing to do.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, all right. So the actual meet and greet that
we're doing, and we hope to have another event. Right now,
we only have one event.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Maybe we'll just get everyone that shows up and we'll
do something else that weekend.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I don't know, you know how many people.
Speaker 2 (22:11):

it be hockey. We can watch hockey.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
They might even put throw me a bone and put
a basketball game on one of the TVs, but that'll
be that night there in Vancouver.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
So we'll have a lot of fun basketball team in Canada,
So you know, yeah, I think they'll pump that on.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
I'm old enough.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Remember when they had an NBA team in Vancouver for
like a couple of years there. They were terrible. They
were so bad, the Vancouver Grizzlies. Holy crap, did they suck.
Let's go to the phones. Let's say hello to uh.
I didn't want to mention we played the Chuck Pegano
sound and Alf the show historian Alf says that was
Matt Hasselbeck. We were talking that the coach was talking about.
(23:36):
He was literally on his deathbed. Matt Hasselbeck, Ike in Roseville, Minnesota,
says Missoula sounds like a town in Montana.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Ye, a little bit, a little bit.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Shannon moy says the schedule release in the NFL likely
caused Michael leprechaun an unscheduled release.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I don't know about that. Check on that. All right,
let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to eeny
meany miney mall. Let's say hello to Jed who fled?
Who's in the Sunshine State? Hello, Jed who fled?
Speaker 8 (24:07):
Two things you don't ever do. You don't hassle back,
You don't hassle mouth went back in ben mallor radio legens.
Now you make good to see it, even though I'm
five hundred jars from the neighbor, and that I'm looking
there right now, I'm trying to walk to my friends.
I'm on the road walking. But would you believe how
far your voice hold my phone can carry in the
darkness of the rural foot Florida, thousands of yards. I
(24:31):
got people at the Interstate inn like you put the
interest to the state calling me telling he's to that
I'm not represented to state very well. So I want
to take them as the ken No, no, no, but
I'm a bit anxious to be awaiting hopefully they're on
the show, on a.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Show, Lorenda. What did they say?
Speaker 6 (24:54):
Well, I think he was saying, Ben that he's walking
on a deserted road and that your voice is traveling
very far on speed. That's exactly what he said.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
What about the end of that, though, I couldn't understand
the end part like he started going off on a
tangent there at the end that's.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Hey, hey, Jed, do you call Glenn Becker? Only me?
Speaker 8 (25:17):
I called Glen back the radio guys. I called you
a radio like giving god, Well, I know you called
me a guy.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I was very kind of you to do that. I
appreciate that Glenn has been been doing this a long time.
But do you actually call his show? Does he take calls?
I don't know does he?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I am not trying to around because my cousin's life
hold of the houses. All that they do take calls, they
take calls or not. It's hardly get into those lines
and it is yours. I don't know why they is
whether it stay until lett me you have hours, or
whether it's the nationally syndicated radio all the time.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Yeah, you can't you believe that?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
What's that? What's that?
Speaker 6 (25:48):
It's harder to get into that show.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Oh, the Glenn Beck Show.
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Yeah, it's a confusion of entertainment and enlightenment. You don't
have a fusion of anything you do. You got the
fusion of clippers and sucking.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I forget what I feel. Thank you, thank you, Jay
go away. All right, let's go to Bobby and Illinois. Hello, Bobby, welcome.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
Hey man, I called yesterday, told me to call back,
so I'm calling you back. I told Coop I'm a
conspiracy guy, but I don't know if you could really
call a conspiracy with us right in front of your face.
What's going on in the NBA is the atrocity first,
the lottery fixing that, now this game to make sure
to get back to New York.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
This is awful.
Speaker 10 (26:32):
It is really bad.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
It's it's terrible.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
But well, Bobby, the conspiracy to extend the series or
did you see Draymond Green got fined for mouthing about
the point spread the other day. That would feed into
your conspiracy theory, right, that the NBA is so sensitive
about the perception that all this is rigged that they
(26:56):
find Draymond Green fifty thousand dollars for questioning the integrity
of the game officials. He was referring to the point
spread in a previous game in this series. At the
at the end there were I guess a late foul
call or whatever, and he was mouthing the point spread,
and so that that upset. But I promise you the
(27:17):
NBA does not want like Oklahoma City and Indiana in
the finals. They do not want that. That's not what
they want. They do not need that. That would not
be good for business.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I got all On another note, I
got some sad news or report. Uh vamb committed suicide
on my truck tonight, but uh I'm still moving.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
You killed?
Speaker 6 (27:42):
Yeah, I know?
Speaker 7 (27:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Did you get did you get out of your did
you get out of your truck to make a proper
meal out of Bambi? Did you did you save Bamby
to have some nice stakes later?
Speaker 7 (27:55):
No? No, no, no, no, Jerky or net like that.
I just uh, I just made sure I took the
proper pictures I needed to for the company. And uh,
you know, of course I'm saddened by that. Uh yeah, yeah,
it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
But Bamby ran in front of your truck? Is that
what you're saying is just I don't know where?
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah there?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
And how much how much damage was done to your truck? Well?
Speaker 7 (28:21):
Surprisingly not a lot. Uh it's just it's I'm driving
a Mac truck and so uh not a lot of
damage at all. Really, it's you know, I'm still moving.
There have been times where it hit you know, and
the truck. I'm so bad you can't continue your trip.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
But yeah, okay, yeah I'm cured. I'm cure. How fast
were you going? I'm wondering how fast going.
Speaker 7 (28:44):
To legal speed limit? Sixty five?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
I like that you threw the legal speed limit. Uh
that's uh, that's what I know. Moving man.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
When when the moving man comes out here, he he
hates going to California because you're like, you can't go
over the speed limit like at all.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
I think or they'll just they'll.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Thing, Yeah I got a I got a big chicket
out there. So you said I was at Needles. I'm
pretty sure you.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Know Needles, right, I have Needles?
Speaker 7 (29:15):
Yeah, yeah, yes, yes, I was the Needles heading back
to Chicago. I'm going down the hill and UH truck
in front.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Of me sport.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
So I get in the left lane and boom, I've
seen the media. There's this SI trooper.
Speaker 6 (29:30):
It was too late.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
I got back over the right land. He pulled me over.
It was four hundred and sixty dollars tickets.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, I can. I can one up you if you want.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I was leaving the Fox Sports radio studio and I
was turning left. I had I had my car worked on.
You know when you go to the shop, you have
your car worked on, and they futzed around the pressure.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I showed up.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
I showed up to the studio during the day, so
I left at night. It was dark when I left,
and I they had reset my lights where they turned
my light My lights are normally automatic, they turned them
off to manually turn on. So I drove like literally
a block down the street and a cop saw me.
(30:13):
Cherry Tops pulls me over and gave me a five
hundred dollars ticket for not having my lights on.
Speaker 6 (30:18):
I drove.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
I drove one block, one block.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Without my lights on, and I was like, couldn't he
give me a warning?
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Every other cops all that. Yeah, they pull you over
because they want to make sure you're not drunk, and
then they tell you to turn your lights on.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
This this douche gave me a five hundred dollars ticket.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
So there you go. Anyway, right, tell you Bobby conspiracy theory.
Bobby and he killed Bambi. He killed Bambi. Let's go
to Charlie, the Royal Flush, Charlie in Dallas. What's going on? Charlie?
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Then, hell are you? Charlie's back in the bathroom. I
think that's got to be your nickname, the Royal Flush.
You gotta be the Royal Flush Charlie. Now, Charlie, you
I got a question. Do you have your own room
or do you have like do you have siblings that
you share your room with?
Speaker 3 (31:06):

What's your situation? I got my own room and bathroom.

Do you do you have irrible bowel syndrome or something
like that?
Speaker 1 (31:23):
Why are you in the bathroom so much? Does anyone

think that?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I think that's a good nickname, the Royal Flush, Charli.
You approve of that, right, That's a royal nickname, the
Royal Flush.

Walter McConney. I was very lucky to have a meal

Speaker 11 (38:29):
Cool Ben just Steelers defensive end Cam Hayward recently said
on his podcast that the Steelers could be a better
team because of the George Pickens trade. He pointed to
Mike Tomlin's track record of trading receivers and it working
out better for the Steelers.
Speaker 6 (38:45):
Ben, do you think he's right with this one?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Well, here's the way I'll say.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
The argument is additioned by subscriber by substraction.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
Right, you're upside down. It shouldn't work that way.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That George Pickens is a talented player, and that if
you just look at the trade, it's it's lopsided for Dallas.
But this is an erratic person. This is somebody who
does not show up every game, and he's got a
lot of blotches on his resume. The way I look
at it, the Steels are gonna be fine. Aaron Rodgers
will be there. They'll be about where there they always
(39:16):
are in Pittsburgh. I don't think they'll be better. They'll
be about where they have been. Next where they'll be
gonna win nine to ten games, and that's that.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Next.
Speaker 11 (39:23):
Bruce Arians made a radio appearance this week where he
said that if the Bucks stay healthy, that reaching the
Super Bowl is definitely obtainable. Ben, do you think Tampa
Bay has improved enough to take the next step this season?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Bruce Arians is full of crap, because no one stays healthy.
The injury rate in the NFL's Hudder sent. So if
the Buccaneers path to get into the super Bowl is
one hundred percent health, they're not going to the super Bowl.
Everyone has injuries. You've got to have depth, You've got
to overcome the injuries. So anytime I hear someone say, well,
if they stay healthy, of course that's not the contest.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Next.
Speaker 11 (39:56):
Shaq said in a recent interview that he thinks he
may have won more titles with any Hardaway than he
did with Kobe had Penny not gotten injured.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
Ben do you agree with that.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Well, again we go back to, you know, in the multiverse.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, there's a dimension in the multiverse where Penny Hardaway
is amazing and people thought he was going to be
some better at the time, and then Kobe ever would
turn out to be. But I think Shack is blowing
smoke on a podcast.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
How do we do?
Speaker 6 (40:21):
You passed this edition?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
That is a way put it on the court. I
won the game the right up. I won the game,
StEB new Balls, I'm a winner.
