Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ding dong.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb birtwo, our number two, ready to go
on the Ben Maler Show podcast recorded live off terrestrial radio.
But you get to hear all the bad words that
others don't get to hear. So here in our number two.
Are you surprised that former NBA players are calling out
(00:23):
the longtime executive Pat Riley, saying that Miami should dump
Riley as the executive of basketball operations. Also, there's a
he said, he said situation. Golden State coach Steve Kerr
said that his star guard was exhausted, while Steph Curry
denied the accusation who's sadia on?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Who's being honest in that?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And comedian Tracy Morgan says that food poisoning led to
his wild ride on the vomit comment at mid court
at Madison Square Garden during the Knickerbockers game. Do you
believe we'll talk about all that and more right now here?
It is our number two. The heat is definitely not on,
(01:13):
but it is on. What Welcome in the beginning of
yet another.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Hour of The Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as
we are the Captain's pick whatever that means. Coast to coast,
port of the motor and beyond on the mast and
refreshingly and heart stoppingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live

(02:03):
I know, not a burner, not a burner, a big
fan of the number ten thousand. So we settle into
our number two in our lead from pro Bouncy Ball.
I am not going to give you Clipper propaganda. I
will not do that. I will just tell you the
Clippers beat supposedly the best team in the NBA, the
top team there, the Cadavers, and dominated the second half.
But our lead is from the losing locker room, which
(02:24):
is not Cleveland's locker room.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, no, no, because they're good.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They're not gonna win the championship, but they got a
good team during the regular season. The story here is
in South Florida, where the heat is definitely off, but
yet the heat is on at the same time. So
it has been a wicked bad season for the pro
bouncy ball team that lives and brees and enjoys the
tropical weather of South Florida. There is a dark cloud,
(02:51):
an ominous dark cloud, hovering over the franchise AA absolute
dreadful stretch before Jimmy Butler was traded, and it's gotten
even worse. This sinkhole has opened up to Dante's inferno
ever since Jimmy Butler was traded to Golden State. In fact,
(03:12):
the eight straight losses. How bad has it gotten? Eight
straight losses if you're not paying attention. But even that
does not encompass what is really going on in Miami
because a number of people are convinced they know why
the Miami Heat are manure. And the reason the Miami
(03:34):
Heat and manure is because of one person, one personal
you know who that is, ding Ding Ding Ding, That's right, Ryles,
NBA legend. In fact, some people putting their name on it,
former NBA All Star. Granted it was a fluke season,
but Jeff Tigue, remember Jeff Tigue played for the Atlanta Hawks,
(03:56):
was on the Celtics for a while, bounced around Journeyman Garbine.
He didn't make an All Star team one time. So
Jeff Tig's got some podcasts. Because everyone's got a podcast,
no one's listened to him. Jeff Tigue has had an
appearance on a Podjeast. I don't even know what podcast
it was. I couldn't name it. There's so many of them.
So anyway, Jeff Teague said that the Heat have to
(04:16):
get rid of pat Riley.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
They have to get rid of pat Riley, was the quote.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Of course this got blown up and it's tossed into
the echo chambers like, oh, this guy actually played in
the NBA, so he's got some more credibility in somebody,
some other Schmeddrick who didn't play in the NBA. So
let us discuss the question, are you surprised at all
of the heat that is on pat Riley and now
an NBA former NBA player calling for the Miami Heat
(04:44):
to dump pat Riley. So I've got Batman, Sorcerer's Workshop,
and Skunk and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a del This
is just my tie, which pat Riley can have sitting
on the beach and maybe kind of sit in that
(05:06):
hammock and just kind of look at the palm trees
and look at the jet skis out there in the
water and just contemplate everything. So my first thought, num burr,
Let's try that again, numb bur one more time. Number,
work out the kinks, theirs, and now we got it.
(05:27):
We got it ready to go. So we would be surprised.
Answer the question, are we are we surprised that the
Rids getting heated? No, we would actually be surprised if
pat Riley were to be let go unless Riley wakes
up and says, I just can't do it anymore. I've
lost my way. It's not going to be a case
where ownership says we gotta.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Get rid of Riley.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
We're gonna we're gonna get rid of him when he sucks,
and that's not gonna happen. I mean, uh, the fact
that they're serving up poop sandwiches three or four nights
a week in Miami is surprising and Riley this what happens.
Riley is considered because of his age and he's been
around forever, that he's an aging relic of the NBA.
He coached the Showtime Lakers for God's sakes in the
(06:10):
nineteen eighties, and it's been a minute, you know, it's
been a minute since then. And when you've been around
that long and you're not given the benefit of the doubt,
it's just the rule of thumb. You're not giving the
benefit of the doubt. The first sign of leakage, and
there is a dog pile, an absolute dogpile, and you're
(06:32):
not It's not acceptable to have a stinker.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's not acceptable for you to have a stinker when
you're pat right, he's a gray beard.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And pat Riley literally and figuratively made the Miami Heat
a relevant franchise when he left New York and eventually made.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
His way to Miami. The Heat were a laughing stock
prior to Riley arriving.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And that was a long time ago, and there have
been many coaches that have come through there, including Riley
himself who coached that team. But things have been declining.
There's no way to spin it any other way.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
This season. It's just terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And this is a bad vibration from the moment they
showed up there, and so you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Get all the Hey, you're an old fogie and you
don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But it's one of those things when you look at
what pat Riley's accomplished in Miami and they're not having
a good year at all, they blow Both those things
are true, right, So Riley's been a legend.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The team's no good right now.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But is this a long term situation or is this
a short term situation? And it blurs the lines between
fact and fiction?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is it locked in stone? Is it written in stone
that this is the way the heater going to be
for the foreseeable future. I always thought like Miami is
one of those places you're just one off season move away,
because you can get almost anybody you want, because almost
everybody wants to live in Miami if you're playing in
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So you don't really have to worry. It's not like
you're sitting there.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
In Indianapolis or Milwaukee where guys are not dying to
go play there, no matter how much money you throw
at them. They just don't want to go there.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But Riley is the epitome of the quote from The
Dark Knight, the Batman movie. There where you either.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Die a hero or if you live long enough, you
become a villain. So for some he's become a villain.
See what the heat doing the off season, there'll be
the usual round of gossip that who's.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Likely to be traded? Big name players that will be moved.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
This subject, well, anything's an option with If the Dallas
Mavericks didn't even trade Luca, they just gave him away.
And it's conceivable that the Milwaukee box or somebody said, oh, ill,
just give you Giannis. You know we want you to
have Giannis here. You go knock yourself out. You never
underestimate that in that business. If the Dallas Mavericks just
decided to give away their top franchise player for a
(09:06):
bag of beans, then why couldn't that happen again?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Page two to the Bay Area where Steph Curry getting
called out by something they didn't play in the game
on Tuesday night. That was a game that the team
from Northern California won the Warriors without Stephan Curry in
the lineup. He did not play and the Warriors went
(09:31):
out and beat the Bucks on Tuesday. How embarrassing is
that for Damian Lillard and the aforementioned Giannis a Denta
Cuombo and so the Dubs they won that game. Congratulations
on that, But that's not the story. So there's conflicting
reports here on Steph Curry. Now what are the conflicting reports?
He had Golden State coach Steve Kerr, who had said
recently that his star guard was quote exhausted exhaustion for
(09:58):
Steph Curry. Now, Steph Curry denied that accusation from his coach.
So you've got to he said, he said, situation. You
got Steve Kerr said, oh man, he's tired Steph Curry,
And then you've got Curry said, that's not true. People
just trying to figure out what's wrong. I didn't play
well the other night against Denver, an embarrassing loss for
(10:21):
the Warriors. So to answer that, he said, he said,
situation the arrow on this one on who we believe.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Is Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I Pat When we talked about Pat Riley and what
he did in Miami, and well, Pat Riley spent a
lot of time not protecting Jimmy Butler, Right, there were
stories leaked about Jimmy Butler. To me, well, Steve curR
is doing the opposite of what Pat Riley did because
he's protecting Steph Curry. He is circling the wagons around
(10:54):
Steph Curry, and Steve Kerr is in the sorcerer's workshop
cooking up a spell. It's got like dungeons and dragons.
He's got a ring of protection around Steph Curry. But
it is beyond a reasonable doubt that Steph Curry is
at the point in his career where this becomes the
new normal, that even though the coach is running the spin.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Cycle for Steph Curry, Curry is thirty seven. The common
denominator on.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Athletes when they get to their late thirty mid to
late thirties is extreme peaks and valleys, your big nights
where you look like you used to look, and.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Then you have nights where you're terrible, and you have
games where you score six or eight or ten points
and you're barely there. If you want to see what
that's like, look at.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Paul George by George in Philadelphia, a pretty similar situation
right now. Final point, we heading out of Manhattan. A
Mallor Show follow up, A Malor Show follow up to
the bar I've heard round the basketball world. Comedian Tracy Morgan,
(12:04):
who rode the vomit comment one of the great barfs.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
There's photographic evidence to show you exactly what happened. So
Tracy Morgan now has said that food poisoning led to
his ride in the first class seat on the vomit
comet during the Knickerbockers game the other night with the
Miami heat. So do you believe that was the only
thing going on there? So, after minutes long Mallard deliberation, no,
(12:38):
I think what we're getting here from Tracy Morgan is
a piecemeal explanation.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's a piecemeal explanation.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Or go.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
It's part of the story, but it's not the Wolstar.
It is more likely than not that yet Tracy Morgan
ate something that incahoots with something else set off the
nuclear bomb. You know how you combine certain foods together
and you have issues.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Now, I'm not sure what he was eating. We don't know.
I not there.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
With him, But as far as I know, there were
no mass reports of food poisoning at the next game,
So it's conceivable that he ate maybe before.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
The game, but he was spotted eating at the next game, sitting.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
There in the front with all the other celebrities, and
it was Saint Patrick's Day, and there's people say, well,
he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Drink, and maybe he doesn't drink. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It might not be drinking. But more, I've had food poisoning.
I've had it multiple times in my life. I've never
once needed a wheelchair when I had food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I have it.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
There was a listener Lance, the bus driver from San
Francisco came down here and brought some food and got
me very sick. But I made it with my dysentery.
I made it to the bathroom and I never puked
where my nose started bleeding. That's like next level. Yeah.
(14:09):
But again, there was no other reports of anyone having
food poisoning from the food at Madison Square.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Guard didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Tracy Morgan sue Walmart years ago, and I mean he
won some money. I remember that we talked about that story.
I vaguely remember that story. But this truly was the
skunk at the garden party, the vomit all over the
court there, and at least now, I.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Guess Tracy Morgan.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
The positive is he can now do an infomercial for
the barf O Mattic he's now qualified to do the
infomercial for the barf O Mattic. All right is the

not so much, Not so much late night drug tester says,
(17:00):
Miami fans need to leave pat Riley alone. Sure, his
decisions haven't brought a title lately, but neither has the
young Laker GM Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, Lebron.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'm surprised Lebron didn't get more crap for leaving the
Laker road trip last week because he needed to get treatment,
he said.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
On his ankle.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And then while the Lakers were playing the Denver Nuggets
last Friday, Lebron flew to Sacramento to watch his kids
high school game. Was he getting treatment as he was
sitting there at the arena in sacrament I don't know.
I'm asking for a friend. Seemed like that did not
become a I's like this was.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
A Friday night.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That's why it seemed like that would have been a
bigger deal. Yeah, but did not did not end up
that big a deal. What else do we have?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Page down here?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Shane in des Moines write, since says Nashville radio spoke
on how the Titans should paid the world for Sam
Darnold to be their quarterback and then trade the number
one pick. Now we are stuck with Sam's club at
quarterback in Seattle.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Well, no, you're only there for one year.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
You got him for one year, one year, and then
you'll end up being mediocre and then Sam will go
somewhere else. Mister irrigation Riding in from Houston, he says,

Speaker 6 (19:00):
I was just chiding on this j.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I got a good.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Joke for you, all right, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
There was this woman.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
She was married to three husbands, and she was married
and had a divorce with him, and they will wonder why.
And the first husband was a psychologist. All I did
was talk about it. The second husband was a gynecologist,
always did with a book at it. And the third
husband was a Mets fan. He gets, I'm saying, wait
till next.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Year, and there you go, that's a song. Look at
that you're goofing on Mets fans. Outstanding.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
So I'm going to be wearing my shirt tomorrow. It
says we hate Leo Alecki.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Still, okay, congratulations.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Do you know why I say that?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
I don't because in high school we made into the
state finals and Leo Alecti scored a goal against us
with like a minute left and double overtime.

I think for you to say.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Did you ask your therapist how you can cash in
calling talk radio?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is there a way to monetize calling in?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Was this girl?
Speaker 6 (20:43):

Speaker 1 (20:44):

the playoffs we're a road team.
Speaker 1 (22:49):

Frog worried about.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Okay, see right, we said take down Oklahoma City. That's
what we're worried about.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
That's exactly what we got.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
To take down the former Clipper.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
We hate to do it, but shake youngus Alexander ex Clipper,
who's gonna win the MVP Award.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
We gotta beat him though.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
That's who we got. The thing about it, he was
one of us.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Let me tell you though, that's that's Kawhi's fault though,
because he wanted Paul George bat job by him. But
koperus shaking his boots over. He's a Laker guy. My
producer is a Laker of apologist. He's getting nervous over there.
I can tell he's a little scared.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
And when you see Kawhi in Kawhi form, they know
what time it is.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Well, what about Harden?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Though, James Harden has had a great awakening, The Beard
has awoken from slumber.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
But see butnight tonight. I love tonight. What both Bunky
got he in and got his stuff going. He is
gonna be a key factor in our playoff run.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
There you go. That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, well, I don't know about that. He had a
good night, but he was so bad ad that I
still haven't forgiven him for that game. Was it against
the who is against the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It's terrible.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
You gotta remember he's.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I don't care about you. Gotta you know you're in
the NBA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he showed up.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
All right, James, I got I got one more Clipper
porn stat. James Harden has scored twenty or more points
now in nine straight games. That is his longest streak
in over four years. So it's been over four years
since James Harden's played this well for this long and
he's doing it for the Clips. All right, thank you, Omar.
There's a Clipper Omar checking in hot Clipper talk. See
(24:53):
what team was James Harden on four years ago? And see,
I mean I guess he was in maybe Brooklyn? Yeah,
I think that was Brooklyn. He barely had any good
moments with with Houston. He was all right, and then
the last year he got fat. He was fat James
and that became a problem and that didn't go so well. Well,
(25:14):
when Penny pitching goes bad, I love this. Or baseball
season is underway. There's one more game today.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And then there's a pause. One more game.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So the Miami Marlins are supposedly a Major League Baseball team,
but not a good one. So the Marlins came up
with this for gazy idea. They said, you know what,
why don't we have a practice squad and well, you know,
we'll just fu's around with that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Nobody else has one, but we're gonna have one.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So Major League Baseball found out about this, and it
violates the rules of baseball, and as a result, the
Marlins are in some trouble down. The Marlins are still
at last I heard, twenty million dollars under the luxury
tax payroll required by the agreement with the players union.
(26:07):
They're twenty million under where they need to be. And
so Major League Baseball contacted the Marlins about this practice
squad idea like they have in the NFL, because there
was an ad which was posted on a minor league
like LinkedIn page. Marlins Minor League operation staffers LinkedIn page
(26:30):
and it was being passed around on.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Social media over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
The ad offered non professional baseball players a chance to
play against the Marlins Low A affiliate for one hundred
and fifty dollars a day.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I am not making this up.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
By this sounds like something that would be made up
in a movie from like the eighties of the nineties. No,
this is a legitimate Is this not crazy? Am I
the only one that fixes this?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Great? So the Marlins had this for gays.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
The idea, they're like, all right, we're gonna put a
We're gonna put this group together, call it practice squad.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We'll pay these guys one hundred and fifty dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It is a unfortunately a violation of the agreement between
ownership and the players covering the minor leagues. Minor league
players required to make a minimum salary of over twenty
six thousand dollars in the Low A level, And I
mean there's different numbers that come up, but uh, there's
(27:30):
nothing in there that's one hundred and fifty dollars a day.
And already I hear like a poverty levels when you're
playing in the minor league. So it turns out the
post has now been yes, deleted. It has been deleted
for the proposed practice squad.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And we'll see what comes of that.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
There's supposedly going to be a big labor stoppage in
baseball next year. That will get through this year, and
then sometime in twenty twenty six, likely around spring training,
there'll be issues.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Let's go to the phones. Ashton in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, I give the Marlins an a though for effort execution,
not so much. Ashton is in Minnesota. What's going on
in Ashton? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
There's a lot of Ambian noise. Welcome? You're driving aroundhere?
Are you going to right now?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm passenger right now?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Your Paul? Who's driving?
Speaker 8 (28:23):
My dad?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
We worked together?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Oh cool man. Look at you guys, father and son.
That's some bonding right there. You guys get along good?
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Outstanding? All right? Well, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I had a question for you. So yesterday we had
a little situation and my mom had to pick us
up from work, and she doesn't like listening to talk radio.
She actually threatened us with violence if we turned on
the talk radio. So we weren't able to listen to
the trivia question last night, okay, and we were wondering
(28:57):
if we could get an extra trivia question to make
up for that.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, all right, so you want to you want, you know,
I'll do an Insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
How about that? I mean, I'll do an Insta trivia
like you want to give it to you right now.
I give you a preview of it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You want that?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds true.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Okay, all right, here's the instant tribute and this is
for you and your dad. You guys have advantage, all right.
So Blank scored a career high forty three points in
a first round NCAA tournament game. This is years ago,
and this player accounted for seventy two point nine percent
(29:35):
of his team's offensive output. And never before or never
since as a player been that dominant accounted for that
high a percentage of their team's points in an NCAA
playoff game.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
All right, do you get all that? Did you get
all that? Ashing? You got to tell your dad? So
think about that.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Okay, I think so, I think we got all that?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right, all right, be safe.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You tell us how many years ago it.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Was Within the last thirty years. How about that within
the last thirty years. All right, all right, good luck,
all right, there's Ashton and his dad. They're working together.
But yeah, that is the question. That was a preview.
I'll give it to you one more time, all right,
So fuck slowly. There's a lot of moving parts of this,
(30:21):
and then we're gonna have coming up in a little
bit mallord to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We'll get to that mallad of the thirty degree. But
here's the insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Blank scored a career high forty three points in a
first round n seed double A tournament game within the
last thirty years, and that accounted for almost seventy three
percent of his team's offensive output. And that is the
most dominant NCED double A tournament game in playoff history
(30:52):
all time.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
So that is the insta trivia. The answer.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
We'll get to it, will take your calls, the whole thing,
and we will do it next.

Degree coming up in a couple of minutes. But I
got to pay off the Insta Trivia, which went to
the father son dynamic duo in Minnesota whose mom cannot
stand talk radio. It's a bad job by mom, But
here's the Insta trivia. Blank scored a career high forty
(32:52):
three points in a first round NCAA tournament game years ago,
and that accounted for seventy two point nine percent of
this player's offensive output for the entire team.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
And that is the.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Single most dominant performance in terms of percentage of points
scored by one player in NCAA tournament history.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
So we're looking for the name of that player.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
And as you try to come up with the answer
for that, like basketball, Tractor Supply knows that a winning

three points again in the first round NC double A
(34:17):
Tournament game years ago and accounting for an incredible seventy
two point nine percent of his team's offensive output. That
is the single most dominant performance based on percentage of
points scored for a team in Ncublea tournament history. So
that is the question. What is the answer, And let's
(34:39):
see does anyone know the answer? We go to the
great unwashed here the hoypolloy jay Buner guessed by mister
Shane and de Moine.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
There, thank you for that e dog. JT.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
The Wingman says his e dog actually Andre's dog. Inquiring
minds would like to know Robin Vegas going with King
Kong as his answer. Ferg Dog says Robbie the Mariner fan,
Well is that you? That's Ferg Dog is on the
left and Robbie's.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
On the right.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Is that correct? In that picture? Fergie, I didn't know
you and Robbie were friends. Robbie the Mariner fan going
with Jimmer for dead is his answer? Alf the Alien
Opiner says, Uncle Leo is the way to go. Late
night drug tester says you are Bruce Willis, who is
seventy years old today, And no he's not been in
good health, but Bruce willis seventy years old. Who else
(35:31):
to have bod Jeffrey Michael, Jeffrey Jordan, although King Roy
said Jeffrey Jordan was because as his kid.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Who else do we have? Page down?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says the beloved Christian Latner
is the answer. Trucker Joe says you are Jeffrey the
Draft from Toys r Us Fame.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Who else? Page down?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
See the wing Men's going with Loyal Chicago's Sister Jean
as the answer. God Sham God from Slick Watts from
Eke and Roseville, Minnesota. Rest in peace? All right, Mary Mack,
do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Mary Mack? Tracy Morgan, Tracy Morgan vomiting all over the court?
Is it Tracy Morgan?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
The correct answer would be Wally World Lollis Herbiac for
Miami of Ohio the RedHawks.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Way back in nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
He scored forty three of the fifty nine points Miami
of Ohio beat the Washington Huskies in a first round
game in nineteen ninety nine. That is the biggest individual
offensive output by one player for a team in that time.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
It's smeller we go, degree, here we go. This is
one big f gets.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Grilled Coop dal Loup.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
While many college football coaches are looking to end spring games,
Deon Sanders wants them to be more like NFL preseason games.
He wants to play against an actual opponent. And Ben,
could you see college football transitioning into that?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Well, I love the Dionz thinking outside the box. I
think it's great. And why not. Everyone's so paranoid in
college football. They're like, oh, we're gonna lose everyone. Deon's
the opposite of that. Deon's like, no, I want to
put this game on TV. I want to play another team.
Speaker 8 (37:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And it's great.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
He's not afraid and a lot of these other coaches
are afraid of losing players to the portal and I
love the fact that Dion Sanders wants to make this
a bigger spectacle. He's a showman. He's into the you know,
the show business element of it. And if it does
happen to Colorado, obviously, if it goes okay and they
(37:41):
get decent ratings and it seems like there's some buzz
about it, yes, but Dion and Colorado, they're the guinea
pig in this all right.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Next, Anthony Davis has been given a G League assignment
as he prepares to return from injury. Congratulations, Ben, Do
you think Davis and the MAVs will be able to
hold off the other three teams still in the hunt
for a playing spot.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
No, because Anthony Davis will come back and he's going
to go to the vending machine at the G League
locker room. He's going to buy a butterfinger. He's going
to eat the butterfinger. He's going to choke on the
butter finger and then need medical attention and miss another
month of the season. So no, the fact that he's
coming back doesn't mean anything. Because he comes back, he
(38:21):
gets hurt. That's what he does. That's just super power.
The guy gets hurt all the time. Now the Mavericks,
I don't buy. There's so much negativity around that team
and the players that complain about the fire Nico chance
and all that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It would be stunny. I don't see that in the
Cards next.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Last season, the Milwaukee Brewers defined the odds and won
ninety three games to take the NL Central Crown for
a second year in a row. They'll have to defy
expectations again, as the Cubs are favored to win the division. Ben,
do you think the brew crewe can out play odds
makers expectations?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Right now, the Chicago Cubs, first of all, are on
pace till there's one hundred and sixty two games. Who
I don't know if you saw the game yesterday, but
the Cubs offense totally few tile against Dodger pitching. In fact,
they got it early, won nothing lead, but then they
did nothing after that. Now, let the Brewers have guys
you've never heard of. They remind me of the midwestern
Tampa Bay Race. There's guys you've never heard of, but
they're usually pretty productive. So I'm going yeah for the
(39:14):
brew Crew. I'm going yeah for the brew Crew. Why not?
What the aff the other teams in that division stink,
so I'll go yes, how do we do?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He passes.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
That is a win.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I won.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
I'm a winner.
Ding dong.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our numb birtwo, our number two, ready to go
on the Ben Maler Show podcast recorded live off terrestrial radio.
But you get to hear all the bad words that
others don't get to hear. So here in our number two.
Are you surprised that former NBA players are calling out
(00:23):
the longtime executive Pat Riley, saying that Miami should dump
Riley as the executive of basketball operations. Also, there's a
he said, he said situation. Golden State coach Steve Kerr
said that his star guard was exhausted, while Steph Curry
denied the accusation who's sadia on?
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Who's being honest in that?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
And comedian Tracy Morgan says that food poisoning led to
his wild ride on the vomit comment at mid court
at Madison Square Garden during the Knickerbockers game. Do you
believe we'll talk about all that and more right now here?
It is our number two. The heat is definitely not on,
(01:13):
but it is on. What Welcome in the beginning of
yet another.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Hour of The Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
We are in the air everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, as
we are the Captain's pick whatever that means. Coast to coast,
port of the motor and beyond on the mast and
refreshingly and heart stoppingly powerful microphones of FSR emmating live
(01:42):
from the headquarters as we are your hot take headquarters
broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios. Tyraq dot
com will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten thousand
recommended installers iraq dot com. Loway tire buying should be
(02:03):
I know, not a burner, not a burner, a big
fan of the number ten thousand. So we settle into
our number two in our lead from pro Bouncy Ball.
I am not going to give you Clipper propaganda. I
will not do that. I will just tell you the
Clippers beat supposedly the best team in the NBA, the
top team there, the Cadavers, and dominated the second half.
But our lead is from the losing locker room, which
(02:24):
is not Cleveland's locker room.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No, no, no, because they're good.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
They're not gonna win the championship, but they got a
good team during the regular season. The story here is
in South Florida, where the heat is definitely off, but
yet the heat is on at the same time. So
it has been a wicked bad season for the pro
bouncy ball team that lives and brees and enjoys the
tropical weather of South Florida. There is a dark cloud,
(02:51):
an ominous dark cloud, hovering over the franchise AA absolute
dreadful stretch before Jimmy Butler was traded, and it's gotten
even worse. This sinkhole has opened up to Dante's inferno
ever since Jimmy Butler was traded to Golden State. In fact,
(03:12):
the eight straight losses. How bad has it gotten? Eight
straight losses if you're not paying attention. But even that
does not encompass what is really going on in Miami
because a number of people are convinced they know why
the Miami Heat are manure. And the reason the Miami
(03:34):
Heat and manure is because of one person, one personal
you know who that is, ding Ding Ding Ding, That's right, Ryles,
NBA legend. In fact, some people putting their name on it,
former NBA All Star. Granted it was a fluke season,
but Jeff Tigue, remember Jeff Tigue played for the Atlanta Hawks,
(03:56):
was on the Celtics for a while, bounced around Journeyman Garbine.
He didn't make an All Star team one time. So
Jeff Tig's got some podcasts. Because everyone's got a podcast,
no one's listened to him. Jeff Tigue has had an
appearance on a Podjeast. I don't even know what podcast
it was. I couldn't name it. There's so many of them.
So anyway, Jeff Teague said that the Heat have to
(04:16):
get rid of pat Riley.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
They have to get rid of pat Riley, was the quote.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Of course this got blown up and it's tossed into
the echo chambers like, oh, this guy actually played in
the NBA, so he's got some more credibility in somebody,
some other Schmeddrick who didn't play in the NBA. So
let us discuss the question, are you surprised at all
of the heat that is on pat Riley and now
an NBA former NBA player calling for the Miami Heat
(04:44):
to dump pat Riley. So I've got Batman, Sorcerer's Workshop,
and Skunk and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a del This
is just my tie, which pat Riley can have sitting
on the beach and maybe kind of sit in that
(05:06):
hammock and just kind of look at the palm trees
and look at the jet skis out there in the
water and just contemplate everything. So my first thought, num burr,
Let's try that again, numb bur one more time. Number,
work out the kinks, theirs, and now we got it.
(05:27):
We got it ready to go. So we would be surprised.
Answer the question, are we are we surprised that the
Rids getting heated? No, we would actually be surprised if
pat Riley were to be let go unless Riley wakes
up and says, I just can't do it anymore. I've
lost my way. It's not going to be a case
where ownership says we gotta.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Get rid of Riley.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
We're gonna we're gonna get rid of him when he sucks,
and that's not gonna happen. I mean, uh, the fact
that they're serving up poop sandwiches three or four nights
a week in Miami is surprising and Riley this what happens.
Riley is considered because of his age and he's been
around forever, that he's an aging relic of the NBA.
He coached the Showtime Lakers for God's sakes in the
(06:10):
nineteen eighties, and it's been a minute, you know, it's
been a minute since then. And when you've been around
that long and you're not given the benefit of the doubt,
it's just the rule of thumb. You're not giving the
benefit of the doubt. The first sign of leakage, and
there is a dog pile, an absolute dogpile, and you're
(06:32):
not It's not acceptable to have a stinker.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
It's what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
It's not acceptable for you to have a stinker when
you're pat right, he's a gray beard.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
And pat Riley literally and figuratively made the Miami Heat
a relevant franchise when he left New York and eventually made.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
His way to Miami. The Heat were a laughing stock
prior to Riley arriving.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
And that was a long time ago, and there have
been many coaches that have come through there, including Riley
himself who coached that team. But things have been declining.
There's no way to spin it any other way.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
This season. It's just terrible.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
And this is a bad vibration from the moment they
showed up there, and so you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Get all the Hey, you're an old fogie and you
don't know what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
But it's one of those things when you look at
what pat Riley's accomplished in Miami and they're not having
a good year at all, they blow Both those things
are true, right, So Riley's been a legend.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
The team's no good right now.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
But is this a long term situation or is this
a short term situation? And it blurs the lines between
fact and fiction?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is it locked in stone? Is it written in stone
that this is the way the heater going to be
for the foreseeable future. I always thought like Miami is
one of those places you're just one off season move away,
because you can get almost anybody you want, because almost
everybody wants to live in Miami if you're playing in
the NBA.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
So you don't really have to worry. It's not like
you're sitting there.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
In Indianapolis or Milwaukee where guys are not dying to
go play there, no matter how much money you throw
at them. They just don't want to go there.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But Riley is the epitome of the quote from The
Dark Knight, the Batman movie. There where you either.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Die a hero or if you live long enough, you
become a villain. So for some he's become a villain.
See what the heat doing the off season, there'll be
the usual round of gossip that who's.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Likely to be traded? Big name players that will be moved.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
This subject, well, anything's an option with If the Dallas
Mavericks didn't even trade Luca, they just gave him away.
And it's conceivable that the Milwaukee box or somebody said, oh, ill,
just give you Giannis. You know we want you to
have Giannis here. You go knock yourself out. You never
underestimate that in that business. If the Dallas Mavericks just
decided to give away their top franchise player for a
(09:06):
bag of beans, then why couldn't that happen again?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Page two to the Bay Area where Steph Curry getting
called out by something they didn't play in the game
on Tuesday night. That was a game that the team
from Northern California won the Warriors without Stephan Curry in
the lineup. He did not play and the Warriors went
(09:31):
out and beat the Bucks on Tuesday. How embarrassing is
that for Damian Lillard and the aforementioned Giannis a Denta
Cuombo and so the Dubs they won that game. Congratulations
on that, But that's not the story. So there's conflicting
reports here on Steph Curry. Now what are the conflicting reports?
He had Golden State coach Steve Kerr, who had said
recently that his star guard was quote exhausted exhaustion for
(09:58):
Steph Curry. Now, Steph Curry denied that accusation from his coach.
So you've got to he said, he said, situation. You
got Steve Kerr said, oh man, he's tired Steph Curry,
And then you've got Curry said, that's not true. People
just trying to figure out what's wrong. I didn't play
well the other night against Denver, an embarrassing loss for
(10:21):
the Warriors. So to answer that, he said, he said,
situation the arrow on this one on who we believe.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Is Steph Curry.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I Pat When we talked about Pat Riley and what
he did in Miami, and well, Pat Riley spent a
lot of time not protecting Jimmy Butler, Right, there were
stories leaked about Jimmy Butler. To me, well, Steve curR
is doing the opposite of what Pat Riley did because
he's protecting Steph Curry. He is circling the wagons around
(10:54):
Steph Curry, and Steve Kerr is in the sorcerer's workshop
cooking up a spell. It's got like dungeons and dragons.
He's got a ring of protection around Steph Curry. But
it is beyond a reasonable doubt that Steph Curry is
at the point in his career where this becomes the
new normal, that even though the coach is running the spin.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Cycle for Steph Curry, Curry is thirty seven. The common
denominator on.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Athletes when they get to their late thirty mid to
late thirties is extreme peaks and valleys, your big nights
where you look like you used to look, and.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Then you have nights where you're terrible, and you have
games where you score six or eight or ten points
and you're barely there. If you want to see what
that's like, look at.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Paul George by George in Philadelphia, a pretty similar situation
right now. Final point, we heading out of Manhattan. A
Mallor Show follow up, A Malor Show follow up to
the bar I've heard round the basketball world. Comedian Tracy Morgan,
(12:04):
who rode the vomit comment one of the great barfs.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
I've ever seen in my life.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
There's photographic evidence to show you exactly what happened. So
Tracy Morgan now has said that food poisoning led to
his ride in the first class seat on the vomit
comet during the Knickerbockers game the other night with the
Miami heat. So do you believe that was the only
thing going on there? So, after minutes long Mallard deliberation, no,
(12:38):
I think what we're getting here from Tracy Morgan is
a piecemeal explanation.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's a piecemeal explanation.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Or go.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
It's part of the story, but it's not the Wolstar.
It is more likely than not that yet Tracy Morgan
ate something that incahoots with something else set off the
nuclear bomb. You know how you combine certain foods together
and you have issues.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Now, I'm not sure what he was eating. We don't know.
I not there.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
With him, But as far as I know, there were
no mass reports of food poisoning at the next game,
So it's conceivable that he ate maybe before.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
The game, but he was spotted eating at the next game, sitting.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
There in the front with all the other celebrities, and
it was Saint Patrick's Day, and there's people say, well,
he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Drink, and maybe he doesn't drink. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It might not be drinking. But more, I've had food poisoning.
I've had it multiple times in my life. I've never
once needed a wheelchair when I had food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I have it.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
There was a listener Lance, the bus driver from San
Francisco came down here and brought some food and got
me very sick. But I made it with my dysentery.
I made it to the bathroom and I never puked
where my nose started bleeding. That's like next level. Yeah.
(14:09):
But again, there was no other reports of anyone having
food poisoning from the food at Madison Square.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Guard didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Tracy Morgan sue Walmart years ago, and I mean he
won some money. I remember that we talked about that story.
I vaguely remember that story. But this truly was the
skunk at the garden party, the vomit all over the
court there, and at least now, I.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Guess Tracy Morgan.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
The positive is he can now do an infomercial for
the barf O Mattic he's now qualified to do the
infomercial for the barf O Mattic. All right is the

(17:00):
Miami fans need to leave pat Riley alone. Sure, his
decisions haven't brought a title lately, but neither has the
young Laker GM Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Yeah, Lebron.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
I'm surprised Lebron didn't get more crap for leaving the
Laker road trip last week because he needed to get treatment,
he said.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
On his ankle.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
And then while the Lakers were playing the Denver Nuggets
last Friday, Lebron flew to Sacramento to watch his kids
high school game. Was he getting treatment as he was
sitting there at the arena in sacrament I don't know.
I'm asking for a friend. Seemed like that did not
become a I's like this was.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
A Friday night.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
That's why it seemed like that would have been a
bigger deal. Yeah, but did not did not end up
that big a deal. What else do we have?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Page down here?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Shane in des Moines write, since says Nashville radio spoke

Speaker 1 (19:04):
Joke for you, all right, go ahead.
Speaker 6 (19:08):
There was this woman.
Speaker 7 (19:08):
She was married to three husbands, and she was married
and had a divorce with him, and they will wonder why.
And the first husband was a psychologist. All I did
was talk about it. The second husband was a gynecologist,
always did with a book at it. And the third
husband was a Mets fan. He gets, I'm saying, wait
till next.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
Year, and there you go, that's a song. Look at
that you're goofing on Mets fans. Outstanding.
Speaker 6 (19:33):
So I'm going to be wearing my shirt tomorrow. It
says we hate Leo Alecki.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Still, okay, congratulations.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Do you know why I say that?
Speaker 1 (19:45):
No?
Speaker 6 (19:46):

state finals and Leo Alecti scored a goal against us
with like a minute left and double overtime.
Speaker 1 (19:56):

I think for you to say.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Did you ask your therapist how you can cash in
calling talk radio?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Is there a way to monetize calling in?
Speaker 7 (20:42):
Was this girl?
Speaker 6 (20:43):

Speaker 1 (20:44):

Speaker 8 (22:05):
You already know man, I'm big out here, man out
here and clip for town man. I just got to
give a shout out man to those Clips man. Tonight
was a big win, one of the biggest win of
the season. Kawhi Leonard is coming back in pure form.
Shout out to Zubox, Happy birthday, the big Zoo.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
He's right, we do.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
You know why because it's hip the clip. That's why
it's hip the clip. And nobody's going to go in
there to the end to a dome and when when
on that? I think the Clips were undefeated at home
in the playoffs with that, with that wall, the unstoppable wall.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Absolutely, and we are a road team. Everyone knows in
the playoffs we're a road team.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Now. I want here's what I want. I have a dream, Omar.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
I want to take down Luca and Lebron in the playoff.
That's what the Clippers got. Take those hey holes down.
Beat the schmucks.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
You know we are here in La. We're not even
worried about the Lakers. You know why we're not worrying.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
About Why is that why we're not worried about.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
The Lakers, Because we got bigger fish to.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Frog worried about.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Okay, see right, we said take down Oklahoma City. That's
what we're worried about.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
That's exactly what we got.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
To take down the former Clipper.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
We hate to do it, but shake youngus Alexander ex Clipper,
who's gonna win the MVP Award.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
We gotta beat him though.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
That's who we got. The thing about it, he was
one of us.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Let me tell you though, that's that's Kawhi's fault though,
because he wanted Paul George bat job by him. But
koperus shaking his boots over. He's a Laker guy. My
producer is a Laker of apologist. He's getting nervous over there.
I can tell he's a little scared.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
And when you see Kawhi in Kawhi form, they know
what time it is.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Well, what about Harden?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Though, James Harden has had a great awakening, The Beard
has awoken from slumber.
Speaker 8 (23:57):
But see butnight tonight. I love tonight. What both Bunky
got he in and got his stuff going. He is
gonna be a key factor in our playoff run.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
There you go. That's it.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Yeah, well, I don't know about that. He had a
good night, but he was so bad ad that I
still haven't forgiven him for that game. Was it against
the who is against the Pistons.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
It's terrible.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
You gotta remember he's.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
I don't care about you. Gotta you know you're in
the NBA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he showed up.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
All right, James, I got I got one more Clipper
porn stat. James Harden has scored twenty or more points
now in nine straight games. That is his longest streak
in over four years. So it's been over four years
since James Harden's played this well for this long and
he's doing it for the Clips. All right, thank you, Omar.
There's a Clipper Omar checking in hot Clipper talk. See
(24:53):
what team was James Harden on four years ago? And see,
I mean I guess he was in maybe Brooklyn? Yeah,
I think that was Brooklyn. He barely had any good
moments with with Houston. He was all right, and then
the last year he got fat. He was fat James
and that became a problem and that didn't go so well. Well,
(25:14):
when Penny pitching goes bad, I love this. Or baseball
season is underway. There's one more game today.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
And then there's a pause. One more game.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So the Miami Marlins are supposedly a Major League Baseball team,
but not a good one. So the Marlins came up
with this for gazy idea. They said, you know what,
why don't we have a practice squad and well, you know,
we'll just fu's around with that.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Nobody else has one, but we're gonna have one.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
So Major League Baseball found out about this, and it
violates the rules of baseball, and as a result, the
Marlins are in some trouble down. The Marlins are still
at last I heard, twenty million dollars under the luxury
tax payroll required by the agreement with the players union.
(26:07):
They're twenty million under where they need to be. And
so Major League Baseball contacted the Marlins about this practice
squad idea like they have in the NFL, because there
was an ad which was posted on a minor league
like LinkedIn page. Marlins Minor League operation staffers LinkedIn page
(26:30):
and it was being passed around on.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Social media over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
The ad offered non professional baseball players a chance to
play against the Marlins Low A affiliate for one hundred
and fifty dollars a day.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I am not making this up.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
By this sounds like something that would be made up
in a movie from like the eighties of the nineties. No,
this is a legitimate Is this not crazy? Am I
the only one that fixes this?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Great? So the Marlins had this for gays.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
The idea, they're like, all right, we're gonna put a
We're gonna put this group together, call it practice squad.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
We'll pay these guys one hundred and fifty dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It is a unfortunately a violation of the agreement between
ownership and the players covering the minor leagues. Minor league
players required to make a minimum salary of over twenty
six thousand dollars in the Low A level, And I
mean there's different numbers that come up, but uh, there's
(27:30):
nothing in there that's one hundred and fifty dollars a day.
And already I hear like a poverty levels when you're
playing in the minor league. So it turns out the
post has now been yes, deleted. It has been deleted
for the proposed practice squad.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
And we'll see what comes of that.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
There's supposedly going to be a big labor stoppage in
baseball next year. That will get through this year, and
then sometime in twenty twenty six, likely around spring training,
there'll be issues.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Let's go to the phones. Ashton in Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Well, I give the Marlins an a though for effort execution,
not so much. Ashton is in Minnesota. What's going on
in Ashton? Welcome?
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 6 (28:14):
Ben?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
There's a lot of Ambian noise. Welcome? You're driving aroundhere?
Are you going to right now?
Speaker 6 (28:19):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
I'm passenger right now?
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Your Paul? Who's driving?
Speaker 8 (28:23):
My dad?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
We worked together?
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Oh cool man. Look at you guys, father and son.
That's some bonding right there. You guys get along good?
Speaker 7 (28:30):
Yes, sir?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Outstanding? All right? Well, what's on your mind?
Speaker 3 (28:35):
I had a question for you. So yesterday we had
a little situation and my mom had to pick us
up from work, and she doesn't like listening to talk radio.
She actually threatened us with violence if we turned on
the talk radio. So we weren't able to listen to
the trivia question last night, okay, and we were wondering
(28:57):
if we could get an extra trivia question to make
up for that.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, all right, so you want to you want, you know,
I'll do an Insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
How about that? I mean, I'll do an Insta trivia
like you want to give it to you right now.
I give you a preview of it.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You want that?
Speaker 3 (29:13):
Yeah, yeah, that sounds true.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Okay, all right, here's the instant tribute and this is
for you and your dad. You guys have advantage, all right.
So Blank scored a career high forty three points in
a first round NCAA tournament game. This is years ago,
and this player accounted for seventy two point nine percent
(29:35):
of his team's offensive output. And never before or never
since as a player been that dominant accounted for that
high a percentage of their team's points in an NCAA
playoff game.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
All right, do you get all that? Did you get
all that? Ashing? You got to tell your dad? So
think about that.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Okay, I think so, I think we got all that?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
All right, all right, be safe.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
You tell us how many years ago it.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
Was Within the last thirty years. How about that within
the last thirty years. All right, all right, good luck,
all right, there's Ashton and his dad. They're working together.
But yeah, that is the question. That was a preview.
I'll give it to you one more time, all right,
So fuck slowly. There's a lot of moving parts of this,
(30:21):
and then we're gonna have coming up in a little
bit mallord to the third degree.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We'll get to that mallad of the thirty degree. But
here's the insta trivia.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Blank scored a career high forty three points in a
first round n seed double A tournament game within the
last thirty years, and that accounted for almost seventy three
percent of his team's offensive output. And that is the
most dominant NCED double A tournament game in playoff history
(30:52):
all time.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
So that is the insta trivia. The answer.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
We'll get to it, will take your calls, the whole thing,
and we will do it next.
Speaker 5 (31:01):

And is I Ben?
Speaker 2 (32:30):
As we continue, we're gonna have Mallard of the Third
Degree coming up in a couple of minutes. But I
got to pay off the Insta Trivia, which went to
the father son dynamic duo in Minnesota whose mom cannot
stand talk radio. It's a bad job by mom, But
here's the Insta trivia. Blank scored a career high forty
(32:52):
three points in a first round NCAA tournament game years ago,
and that accounted for seventy two point nine percent of
this player's offensive output for the entire team.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
And that is the.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Single most dominant performance in terms of percentage of points
scored by one player in NCAA tournament history.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
So we're looking for the name of that player.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
And as you try to come up with the answer
for that, like basketball, Tractor Supply knows that a winning

three points again in the first round NC double A
(34:17):
Tournament game years ago and accounting for an incredible seventy
two point nine percent of his team's offensive output. That
is the single most dominant performance based on percentage of
points scored for a team in Ncublea tournament history. So
that is the question. What is the answer, And let's
(34:39):
see does anyone know the answer? We go to the
great unwashed here the hoypolloy jay Buner guessed by mister
Shane and de Moine.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
There, thank you for that e dog. JT.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
The Wingman says his e dog actually Andre's dog. Inquiring
minds would like to know Robin Vegas going with King
Kong as his answer. Ferg Dog says Robbie the Mariner fan,
Well is that you? That's Ferg Dog is on the
left and Robbie's.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
On the right.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Is that correct? In that picture? Fergie, I didn't know
you and Robbie were friends. Robbie the Mariner fan going
with Jimmer for dead is his answer? Alf the Alien
Opiner says, Uncle Leo is the way to go. Late
night drug tester says you are Bruce Willis, who is
seventy years old today, And no he's not been in
good health, but Bruce willis seventy years old. Who else
(35:31):

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Andy in Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says the beloved Christian Latner

Eke and Roseville, Minnesota. Rest in peace? All right, Mary Mack,
do you have an answer?
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Mary Mack? Tracy Morgan, Tracy Morgan vomiting all over the court?
Is it Tracy Morgan?
Speaker 4 (36:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (36:13):
The correct answer would be Wally World Lollis Herbiac for
Miami of Ohio the RedHawks.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Way back in nineteen ninety nine.
Speaker 2 (36:25):
He scored forty three of the fifty nine points Miami
of Ohio beat the Washington Huskies in a first round
game in nineteen ninety nine. That is the biggest individual
offensive output by one player for a team in that time.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Here we go, Here we go, Here we go.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
It's smeller we go, degree, here we go. This is
one big f gets.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Grilled Coop dal Loup.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
While many college football coaches are looking to end spring games,
Deon Sanders wants them to be more like NFL preseason games.
He wants to play against an actual opponent. And Ben,
could you see college football transitioning into that?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Well, I love the Dionz thinking outside the box. I
think it's great. And why not. Everyone's so paranoid in
college football. They're like, oh, we're gonna lose everyone. Deon's
the opposite of that. Deon's like, no, I want to
put this game on TV. I want to play another team.
Speaker 8 (37:19):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
And it's great.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
He's not afraid and a lot of these other coaches
are afraid of losing players to the portal and I
love the fact that Dion Sanders wants to make this
a bigger spectacle. He's a showman. He's into the you know,
the show business element of it. And if it does
happen to Colorado, obviously, if it goes okay and they
(37:41):
get decent ratings and it seems like there's some buzz
about it, yes, but Dion and Colorado, they're the guinea
pig in this all right.
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Next, Anthony Davis has been given a G League assignment
as he prepares to return from injury. Congratulations, Ben, Do
you think Davis and the MAVs will be able to
hold off the other three teams still in the hunt
for a playing spot.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
No, because Anthony Davis will come back and he's going
to go to the vending machine at the G League
locker room. He's going to buy a butterfinger. He's going
to eat the butterfinger. He's going to choke on the
butter finger and then need medical attention and miss another
month of the season. So no, the fact that he's
coming back doesn't mean anything. Because he comes back, he
(38:21):
gets hurt. That's what he does. That's just super power.
The guy gets hurt all the time. Now the Mavericks,
I don't buy. There's so much negativity around that team
and the players that complain about the fire Nico chance
and all that.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
It would be stunny. I don't see that in the
Cards next.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Last season, the Milwaukee Brewers defined the odds and won
ninety three games to take the NL Central Crown for
a second year in a row. They'll have to defy
expectations again, as the Cubs are favored to win the division. Ben,
do you think the brew crewe can out play odds
makers expectations?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Well?
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Right now, the Chicago Cubs, first of all, are on
pace till there's one hundred and sixty two games. Who
I don't know if you saw the game yesterday, but
the Cubs offense totally few tile against Dodger pitching. In fact,
they got it early, won nothing lead, but then they
did nothing after that. Now, let the Brewers have guys
you've never heard of. They remind me of the midwestern
Tampa Bay Race. There's guys you've never heard of, but
they're usually pretty productive. So I'm going yeah for the
(39:14):
brew Crew. I'm going yeah for the brew Crew. Why not?
What the aff the other teams in that division stink,
so I'll go yes, how do we do?
Speaker 1 (39:22):
He passes.
Speaker 5 (39:22):
That is a win.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I won.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
I'm a winner.
