Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our ber two, our number two.
How do you do as the Knickerbockers have won in
advanced can you put into context Jalen Brunson's game winning
basket for the Knicks, a dagger three point shot in
the final five seconds? Also, are you convinced the Cade
(00:23):
Cuttingham Pistons have now arrived even though they lost that
series in six games? And do the Jalen Brunson Knickerbockers
have a chance to upend the favored Celtics in the
next round of the playoffs. We'll discuss that as well.
Here it is our number two. With a kiss to
(00:43):
the upper balcony, welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,
ay where as we drop in for a chat, we
are moving and grooving coast, the coast, border, the border,
(01:04):
and beyond on the vast and unfathomably powerful microphones of
fsre ammnating live from the whispers, the whispers of wisdom
from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as our friend Reggie
in Detroit and Joe Dogg and Eed Dogg in New
(01:27):
York would tell you, as we are hanging outside by
side here so exciting, unbelievable as we begin anew this
hour and this portion of the Ben Malers Show, made
possible by ti Rak for forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
(01:48):
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options very important
for fer dog like mobile tireinstallation ti raq dot com
the way that tire buying show. So our lead this
hour is from Motown. We'll get back to the people's
team winning. And I do have those numbers, I promise
if you're listening last hour, I was put on the
(02:09):
spot by that dope Jeff and Denver and Cooper Loop
And you're of any numbers back that was okay. I'll
give you the numbers later. But we're gonna start with
the game in the Motor City, which was a really
good game. I enjoyed it. I was sitting on my
ass watching the game Game six, the Detroit Basketball and
(02:30):
the New Yorkers, the Pistons looking to force a Game seven.
The Knickerbocker's trying to close things out and move on
to take on that Green team were you watching. I
hope you were. This was actually a pretty good game.
It came down to the final seconds with the clock
running down. Jalen Brunson the killer crossover dribble between his legs.
(02:53):
He got a little space and then the dagger from downtown,
a three point shot with four point three seconds left
in the clock, and then he blew a kiss right
there to the upper balcony. The crowd had been taunting him.
That's what good fans do. They taunt the best player
on the other team, and so they did. Now Brunson
(03:16):
had a forty burger in this game, forty points and
the Knicks win the game by three, and what a
great way for the piss and season. And they didn't
even get a shot up. They fetched the ball out
of bounds. Beasley fumbled the ball out of bounds, so
Detroit could have had a chance to tie the game,
and they blew it. And so the win goes to
(03:38):
the team from the Big Apple. New York will now
face the number two, the number two, the Boston basketball
team as they look to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
You realize the Knicks have not been to the Eastern
Conference finals. Saints two thousand. That's a generation. How is that? Man?
(04:05):
When I was growing up of old Buckle mar Day,
but it was like, oh, New York teams have all
the advantage. Those New York teams win all the time.
They have all the top players. Like the Jets have
been terrible. The Giants are an embarrassment. The Knickerbockers are pathetic,
like for the most part, the Mets are ridiculously bad.
The Mets haven't won the World Series since the nineteen eighties.
(04:28):
Ronald Reagan was the president the last time the next
one or the Mets won the World Series. The Yankees,
they're going on, how many years? Has been? Fifteen years
plus now the Yankees haven't won the World Series? So
who goofed? I've got to know. Anyway, let's get back
to this one. Now. The better story is in the
losing locker room. We'll get to that, but I wanted
to start with this, all right, So as we discussed
(04:50):
this game since the Knicks one and everyone has their
pants down because of Jalen Brunson, can you put into
context Jalen Unson's game winning basket for the Knicks. So
I've got meantastic f seventeen Nighthawk and Kentucky Bourbon, and
(05:11):
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna say, forget about it and just have some Detroit pizza.
I didn't even know Detroit pizza was a thing until
a few years ago. I didn't. I had no idea
it was a Detroit So I knew a Chicago style,
I knew New York style pizza. I didn't even know
there was a Detroit style pizza until a couple years
and then all of a sudden, it was like everywhere,
(05:32):
all right. So my first thought on this, I guess
we'll say, numb burn? Can I get a numb burn?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
All right? Enough of that, all right? So my first
thought is Baywatch, as in Jalen Brunson was the lifeguard
who saved the Knicks from themselves. Complete shambles for the Knicks.
They were drowning, the Knickerbockers were drowning. It looked early
on they were gonna blow out the pistons. They were
obbing fifteen. I jotted that down on my little notes app.
(06:01):
They were up fifteen early on, and then the pistons
came back, and then the next went ahead again, and
then It was a little bit bit of back and
forth game, but facing a door die game seven, Jalen
Brunson had to rescue his teammates from sinking into the
deep blue sea of Lake Michigan. It was bad. It
(06:22):
was bad, and the Pistons were on their way to
a historical possible comeback. In game seven, Detroit was leading
this by seven points with two point thirty five to Oh,
that's not insurmountable. But you're up by seven with two
and a half minutes to go. You're in pretty good
shape unless Doc Rivers is your coach. Doc Rivers was
(06:44):
not coaching the Pistons, but Jalen Brunson I didn't know
they had this on the betch, but he put his
cape on down the stretch, nerves of steel and that
dagger the crossover to get some space and then the
knockdown three point shot was me fantastic. Jalen Brunson went
twilight zone. You're a bad man. You're a very bad man.
(07:06):
Jalen Brunson with that shot, and it was chest thumping, kissing,
blown kisses up to the upper decks from the JIBBRONI up.
There was a good time and it is a reminder
that one big shot or a couple of big shots
cover up a lot of bad shots. Jalen Brunson took
fourteen shots in the fourth quarter. He only made four
(07:30):
of them. However, it's the last shot, obviously that people
will remember. They'll talk about it. Remember Jalen Brunson beat
the Pistons in a playoff game in the row with
that three point shot. They're not gonna say went four
or fourteen in the fourth quarter, but when they were downed,
when Detroit had a seven point lead, seven point lead,
in really good shape, really good shape. There in the
(07:53):
final couple minutes of the game, Jalen Brunson with was
three or five, four, eight points in the comeback, New
York outscored Detroit eleven to three to close out the
game and turn out the last the parties over for
the Pistons. Now, speaking of that, the better story is
in the losing locker room, So we're gonna go there now.
(08:13):
Despite the loss, I have been seeing a number of headlines,
number of stories, number of posts on the socials with
tributes pouring in that the social media world eulogizing the
Pistons performance, but celebrating that the Motown Hoopers, who had
not broken twenty five wins in the last five seasons.
(08:37):
They jumped all the way up from fourteen and sixty
eight to forty four and thirty eight. They were the
sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. The consensus among popular
people the pundits is that Detroit is now set up.
They've arrived. They're a force in the Eastern Conference for
(08:58):
years to come. Good to go. They're good to go,
all right, So that's the consensus. So I ask the
Esteem panel, which you are a part of, are you convinced?
Are you conmissed you make the call? Are you convinced
that the Cade Cunningham Pistons have a ride? So after
(09:18):
a minute long deliberation, I am shaking my head. No
again on this one, I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
This is a stinger. There was venom. There was venom there.
Now there are good signs. I'm not gonna sit here
and say there's no good signs. There were good signs. However,
the finished product is not there, and there are no
moral victories, at least not here. Maybe some other people
like to give us, but the Knickerbockers, I'm Detroit, I'm
(09:47):
spitting mad. The Knickerbockers should have lost this series, right,
they were plumped for the taken. Detroit blew this series.
And again, most games are lost them not one. We
talk about that all the time, and this is a
great exact down the stretch, four straight games were decided
by three points or less. Three of them were Detroit
(10:09):
Basketball home losses. They lost at home by two points,
by one point, by three points. Now, the big picture
the Pistons, if you look at that turnaround from fourteen
wins to forty four wins year to year, the Pistons
have been the last year the F seventeen nighthawk, and
(10:30):
that's what they were, certainly during the regular season this
year where they flew below the radar, they were not
detected by any radar. And you don't just pick up
or you left off. You have to start fresh. And
so they go back and to the very bottom and
have to push the rock back up the mountain. It's
kind of like you're playing a video game and in
(10:51):
the old days, and then the power goes out and
you've got to start over. It doesn't save it. You
got to go back to the very beginning, which is
not ideal. All right. Now, final point to the Jalen
Brunson Knickerbockers as they now have a chance or do
they have a chance to upend the Celtics. That's how
we're gonna frame this. Do the Jalen Brunson Knicks have
(11:14):
a chance to upend the Celtics? Boston with home court advantage, Boston,
the championship pedigree from a year ago, all that nonsense.
So do the Knicks have a chance? So I look
at this for the Knickerbockers. It's not ideal, but it
is Kentucky bourbon. It is a puncher's chance. It is
(11:34):
a puncher's chance. Okay. And the Celtics dominated the Knicks
in their four regular season meetings. They won all four games.
There was only one of them that was close. But
you can't really base too much of that because certain
star players don't play and so not everyone was out there.
And whatever you were back in November and December, obviously
you know you're not the same team. Things get better
(11:57):
or worse, they don't stay the same. Now, the big
red flag for the Knickerbockers. They played nine games against
the top teams Boston, Cleveland and Oklahoma City. Nine games.
Out of those nine games, how many did they win?
The answer would be as many as you and I
and Lorena and Coope and blind emmett Oer for nine.
(12:21):
The Knickerbockers against Boston Cleveland in Oklahoma City, which obviously
raises questions about the fraud nature of the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Fortunately I cannot stress this enough. Past results do not
guarantee future outcomes. Boston's reliance on three point shooting is
a blessing and a curse because when the threes are
not falling, they struggle. They can still win it. Beat
Orlando in a game they didn't make a three point
shot in half, but it's much more difficult. You've also
(12:51):
got Jalen Brown, who's taking time bomb with a knee
that's all wonky. You've got Porzingis who's made out of
glass most of the time. And in Game one, there's
an opportunity to sneak in there and steal Game one
that the Knicks have played, and played and played the Celtics.
You talk about the old debate, We have it every year.
Rus versus Rest, the football debate normally, but Russ versus Rest,
(13:14):
so the Celtics have been off for a number of days.
The Knicks just played here on Thursday night, so they
should be ready to pounce at the beginning of the game. Now,
for the Knicks, another problem is Carl Anthony Towns. Kitty
cat Karl Anthony Towns is in position physically to dominate,
he often does not. He often is a spectator when
(13:37):
he's on the court. He doesn't normally move the needle
in playoff games, at least he doesn't know back to
back games. And you never know from game to game
how Carl Anthony Towns is going to play. That's been
the curse going back to his days in Minnesota. It
hasn't changed with the Knickerbockers. And you know, Jalen Brunson
is the real deal, and he'll get some numbers and
he'll put up some good stats and all that. So
(13:58):
when I bet on the Knicks, I wouldn't bet on
the Knicks. Do I think this is gonna be a
sweep by the celt I would be very surprised. This
has six game series and the Celtics will lose a
game they shouldn't lose early on. They'll lose a game
at the Garden, But they'll end up the Madison Square Garden,
both teams playing the garden, but they'll end up winning
(14:18):
in the end. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. We'll
take your phone calls. If you'd like to be part,
you can join us right now eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six
six three six nine. So we have some business to
take care of. I was put on the spot by
people that are haters about playoff Harden. I pointed out
(14:39):
that in his career, James Harden has been a ninety
ten player, so ninety percent of the time he's been
okay or good. Ten percent of his playoff career, going
back to his days with the Rockets and the Oklahoma
City Thunder, ten percent of the time he's been an
atrocious waste of space, just dead weight. So I'll give
you the numbers on that. I'll give you them math
(15:00):
on that. We'll do that. We have to get to
the equine pick them at some point here this hour
as well, so we have that to get to. Also,
some buyer's remorse we have that. We've got Mallard of
the third degree coming up a little bit later. We
go a lot of get to We'll get to all
of it, and we will do it.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Neck be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific

We'll be used against you in the court of sports radio.
And remember that the tweets if you send in a
(16:36):
X tweets, whatever you send those in. They're like fine art.
People perceive art much differently. It's open to interpretation. It's
abstract art. Exhibition is what it is. And now back
to it. Oh, we get back to it and we
will have the equine pick them. Does everyone have the horses?
Do we all have the horses? Nobody has the horses? Yes,
let me know we all have the horses. We have
(16:57):
the horses. Okay, we'll do that, but let me first
a threat, Ben, Well, I I don't know yet. I
haven't I have the list of horses in front of me.
I think I know.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I've been studying for weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a lie. Uh and for my hat for weeks. Yeah? Yeah,
you know you ever been to the You've never been
to the derby. You've never been in Kentucky?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Right, No, but LA does their derby day La.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And that is fun to go to.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Wait, really the real, the real thing, though, the Kentucky Derby.
Have you been to Santa Anita? You're not that far
away from there. Have you been down to beautiful Santa
Anita for a big race? It's awesome? I have not.
You got to do that, man. Oh the hills in
the background Santa Anita is one of the most beautiful tracks.
I have been too many horse tracks, but it's it's awesome.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
So so I This was a question during asked Ben
yesterday that I did not get to, but it is.
It is relevant right now, and I forget who asked it,
but somebody wanted to know if we've ever tried a
mint julip.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
No, I have not. I heard They're not very good.
I heard it. It's like this kind of a thing
you do because it's but they don't actually taste good.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, no I do, but I do like mint, so
I don't think I might like it. I generally like mint.
I like midchip ice cream, I like mint chocolate. What
what do you what are you cut your throat?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I have had multiple minjush Oh, I bet you have.
I have had them, not only at New Orleans and Disneyland.
I have had them at New Orleans and New Orleans.
At the plantation that I went to, they served minjullups
and that one was really good.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
How similar is it to a mohido? It's not.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's more sweet, Oh, okay, more sugar forward, to be honest, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Sweet's not bad. It's not terrible. Terrible thing. Let me
address before we get to the equine pick them. Let
me address this right now Becausekoopleloop challenged me. This this dope,
Jeff in Denver. What you're talking about, jyps that me explain.
So I went back and I crunched the numbers on this.
So James saw coming into this year again, this is
not this playoff. Before this year, James Harden one hundred
(19:08):
and sixty six playoff games in his career. So what
is a bad playoff game? Using the metric that if
you take ten or more field goal attempts and you
make under three or underfield goals, you're not doing very well.
That is the metric that we use. So James Harden's
one of the all time great NBA players. He's a
(19:30):
Hall of Famer all that, and back in his salad
days with the Rockets, he was amazing during the regular season,
got an average like thirty points a game, was it saying?
So in the playoffs, if you have again here's the metric,
ten or more attempts and under three field goals made.
Out of one hundred and sixty six playoff games coming
into this year, James Harden had eighteen playoff games that
(19:55):
were horrific. That is ten point eight percent of the
time that Harden would essentially ghost his team. So any
other further questions coop before we move on.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
No, So okay, so what what constitutes.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Gave it to you? I just said it. I just
said it that ten or more attempts and three or
under made field goals in the playoffs. So that's like,
that's three for fifteen. You're terrible.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Okay, yeah, sure, but there's so many other things that
can cost a terrible game.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Okay, but this is the this is the criteria that
is used. You can come up for your criteria if
you well, it's my show.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's my yeah, of course, you spin everything that works.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
How am I spinning it? How am I spinning it?
I went through one hundred and sixty six stupid games
and those are the numbers.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Right, And I bet you if you looked at other factors,
he has a lot more terrible games than what you
are portraying it as.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I think that's a lot. Eighteen out of one hundred
and sixty six playoff games when you're an offensive player
and you don't play well, eighteen of one hundred and
sixty six. I don't think historically bad. That's that's a lot.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
That's a lot of that's a lot of playoff games,
though you're optimistic. It's a huge sample size. But I
want to know, like how many turnovers you know there's
you can produce?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Go ahead, produce, go ahead, do the research. I've done
the research. I got. I got a lot to I can't.
I know you want me to be your stat guy,
but I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Do we have any music for this? The equine Pickham
and this is coming up here? We're very excited. Oh
my god.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Wait, I gotta have good horse music for this. Give
me like thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Okay, all right, there's no chance she knows what good
horse music. No chance, no idea that she knows what
the music is. And this is the the big day
on Saturday. It is the one hundred and fifty first edition.
Nobody cares about it because not a round number people loved.
Last year it was one hundred and fiftieth Kentucky Derby.
(21:59):
This year is the Hunt in fifty first edition, the
Run for the Roses, a Triple Crown, first leg of
the Triple Crown. It'll be on Saturday post time is
at six point fifty seven. That's not bad. Twenty horses,
(22:19):
although I think one of them has already been knocked out,
so it's not only twenty, but the run for the
roses one and one fourth mile separating the horses, and
one of them will stand out on top of the
great thing about the Kentucky Derby the horses don't know
what the Kentucky Derby is. They just run. Somebody's hitting
them with the stick and so they run. It's they
(22:40):
have no idea what they're doing. It's the beauty of
horse racing. All right, let's get to it. So we'll
go in the order of longevity on the show. So
I'll go first. Coople go second, and oh my and
Loreno will go third.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Go go back to the last one this one.

radio loser, and they were. They were into journalism, and
so for that, I'm going to take journalism as my
first pick on the equine. Pick them the one journalism

All right, there it is the equine. Pick them, do
with that with what you want. Good luck to all
the horses, the trainers, the jockeys, and and I need
to at some point get to the Kentucky Derby at
some point. Anyway, all right, it is the Ben Malor Show.
(27:09):
As we are pressing, I'm will take some calls here.
We do have coming up later on this hour. Mallard
to the third degree, and let's see which way do
we want to go? And the phones will go eenie
meaning miney mone. By the way, the number eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. That's eight
seven seven ninety nine six six three sixty nine. If
you'd like to be part of the program. And my
(27:33):
phone thing has jammed, so I'll just take a random guess,
is sir scratch Off still there? Is he?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Still is he is?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh my god, sir scratch Off? Look at that? I
got lucky. Hello, sir scratch Off.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Man?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I want to take I want to take Patrens Spirit.
It's eight to one and I'll take I'll take Castle
as twenty to one.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Okay, Well, you realize what you are, sports book, So
how much you want on that?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Well you got you know, I used to kill the
dogs in Memphis, but they said they got battle or
health or whatever. They quit doing it. But the horses
are a whole lot better to bet on the dogs.
Dogs never warned that rabbit gonna stop. They're gonna quit,
So you gotta have something for the horses to do.
So I go them too, right.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
There, and I believe that.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I believe that's gonna be a good race Saturday.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'd love to be there, and I'll go five hundred.
Why do you go?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
You just drive out because I gotta go down to
this side of Oklahoma. My boy's in a big sawtball
term at all weekend. He plays saw ball at the weekend.
Evenin's oven. He can playing eleven years. He's really good
this thing too. He's got like two rings. They go
to Dallas and Oklahoma and Branson's there. They go all
over the place to play ball. Yeah, he's really But anyway,
(28:49):
that's uh. Like I said, they say it's gonna be
a good race. I believe it's gonna be a good race.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Well, anyway, even.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
If it's a bad race, it's two minutes, So who cares.
It's two minutes your life. It's not a three hour
NFL game or a three hour baseball game. It's it's
two and a half minutes. And then it's some some
NBC reporter on a horse trying to track down the
winning jockeyed interview.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You're right, man, I mean it's it's a go and
then it's over. You know, But I don't ask you.
Let me ask you a question. Do you think we
really did anything at all? I mean, I'm ready for football, dude,
I'm all in football right now, watching the movies play hockey.
He's down on one, two, and now we're we've won
two in a row and we've lost that third one,
so we're down. We're down two or three. So I mean,
(29:36):
we got to win bad.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
But uh, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Are you think that Rams did okay on any of
the picks we did pick on that on that NFL draft,
do you think we did anything at all that we
should have done.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well the NFL Draft? You're talking to the wrong person.
If you're looking for optimism. I'm always I'm always a
skeptic on the NFL Draft. I think the Rams of
I don't okay. I mean, the big move they made
was not the draft. It was a free agent signing
Davonte Adams, and I mean that's the guy that they're
counting on to slide on in and with Cooper cup
(30:12):
gone now that DeVante Adams still has a little bit
left in the tank and can be that number two
receiver next to Puka Nakua and the Rams offense can
keep going here. But the good thing is last year
the Rams showed that they were tough. They have to
do it again. They weren't your typical soft Rams team.
They actually went out there. They they gave the Eagles
the toughest game the Eagles had in the playoffs, Which
(30:33):
is it?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, and you don't been able to take something about
that game. I want I would love to play that game.
I mean, I'll be honest to you. I was hurts
ever since he's in Oklahoma and he went to he
went to the Alabama, then back to went to Okahma,
I mean after that, but then he went to you
know the NFL. It hurts. I mean, he deserved to
get that win. And I'm glad he beat Can't City
(30:56):
because I can't stand the Chiefs. But you know, because
everybody jumped wagon on the Rams and went over to
the Chiefs when they left town, you know, so I
would love to play to myself, the Rams beat the
Chiefs like dog crabs, like a raally, a bunch of
people's face. But I think the Rams they've done too
bad last two or three years. But I would love
to redone that one game. At the end, they're over
(31:16):
because that snow and that weather. I'm not saying that
stop this from winning. But it didn't help us none
because Matt Stafford and boys wasn't ready for that. I
just don't think we're ready for that and whatever, and.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It was bad for both teams. So you're gonna and
if you if you don't get home field advantage, your
chances are you're gonna in the NFC. You're gonna have
to go to Philadelphia in the playoffs, or you're gonna
have to go to some some cold weather city to play,
whether it's Green Bay or you know, somewhere in the
Midwest other than there are a lot of domes though, Minnesota, Detroit.
But anyway, all right, Well I've noticed now, sir, scratch off.
(31:49):
You've you've you've weaned down to a one day a
week caller. Now you're a one day a week.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I'm just like I told you here a few weeks ago. Man,
You like any won't talk about it when I get
off the radio, but you don't. Still I'm still worry
about my mother, and I've got a lot of my mind.
But my mother is the cancer, so you know, we
don't know what they should die. But she's been filling
better see weeks, but I see any white man, I've
got a lot of my mind.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
All right, well listen, listen. I you know, I've been there.
It's everything. Everything. One's got their own situation. But just
try to spend as much time.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
A stay way. I'm here man, I'm all.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, all right, I gotta go, thank you. All
right there he is the great Sir scratch Off, checking
in doing his thing, working his magic as only he
can do, as only he can do. It is the
Ben Malor Show. As we are working our magic through
the overnight, we have Mallard of the third degree that's
coming up in a couple of minutes. Buyer's remorse. Though
(32:46):
interesting story out of La La Land that there's some
some new after the fact reporting saying the real reason
the Lakers, The real reason the Lakers voided the trade
with Charlotte for Mark Williams is because they were worried
that they overpaid by trading Dalton Connect to Charlotte, and
(33:07):
they saw an out the way the way I saw,
the way I read the story is that they've got
the medical exams and it gave them an alibi. It
gave them an excuse to void the trade because they
thought they had given up too much. In How many
minutes did Dalton Connect play in the Zeros?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's zero bad? Zero? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Are you buying that report though?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
No?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I mean, it's gotta be so. How many trades have
been voided in NBA history? Not very many, Right, Most
of the time you're traded, you're traded. And the guy
played in the second half of the Hornets, So, I mean.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
It is weird, but yeah, you would think if that
was the case, they would have played Dalton Connect at
some point during the playoffs, like they.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Worried that Connect was going to go to Charlotte and
average twenty seeven points a game or whatever. I mean,
who cares you if you guy, if you need the center,
don't worry about that.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
And if we needed the center.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, anyway, all right, Well that's the latest story out
of La La Land regarding the Lakers, So take that
for what it's worth. We have mallardly third degree coming
up Momentelly ten. Now for the Insta trivia, Jalen Brunson
had forty plus points, seven plus assists in a best
of seven series road clincher. Blank was the last player
(34:29):
to put up that stat line prior to Jalen Brunson
of the Knicks in that game on Thursday night. That
is the Insta trivia. The answer. We'll get to it
and we will do it.

(36:59):
trae you Jalen Brunson Jalen Brunson had forty points, but
Jallemens had forty plus points seven plus assists in a
best of seven road clincher. Blank was the last player
to have a similar stat line in a game seven
clincher prior to the game last night. That is the question,
(37:22):
what is the answer? And lit'stene? Does anyone know the answer?
Ronald McDonald was guessed by King Rory Spirit the Champion
of Horses from Scrooge. Manuel in Guardina says, make sure
the call a seabiscuit who makes the calls better than
seed Dog in New York? Says Manuel in Guardina. Who
(37:45):
else do we have? Page down here? Jared salta Lamachia?
Who is forty today? From Late Night drug tester Nindo
Gottinari from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota? Any Canadian from Milkman
Mike in Colorado he made from Alf the alien opiner?
Who else we have? Vladimir rod Monovich was guessed by

Matt in l a final final gambit from our buddy
mister Irrigation, Doc Gooden, Yes by Shane in Des Moines.
Who else do we have? Terry in England says, is
it the liar? Sir Eliz a lot is that the
answer gold dust from Austin Powers Mojo, Bill Belichick's girlfriend
(38:28):
from Mark and Santa Monica Nature boy answering the call
to the wild, and he says it is Trojan horse.
All right, what's the answer, quickly, lorain a quick way.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
I was gonna say, Lebron James, uh No.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
The answer is actually Jalen Brunson. He did it last
time back last year. Jalen Brunson did it. So the
answer is, jentlemen, here we go, here we go, Here
we go, here we go, here we go. Here were
to the third degree.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
This is one big event.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Gets grilled cool.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
Earlier this week, Bill's GM Brandon Bean, expressed frustration over
being criticized for not drafting a receiver, and he pointed
out that he was also criticized for taking josh Allen Ben.
Do you think the criticism is warranted?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Well, the problem is that Bills have terrible wide receiver
like they scored a bunch of points in all that,
but Keon Coleman, Khalil Secure and Joshua Palmer who they
picked up from the Chargers does not exactly get you
all horny. So they should have done something there. I
know they I guess they added Elijah Moore the other
day this week from Cleveland. I think the criticism is fair.
(39:33):
This is the golden run for Josh Allen. They didn't
do enough.
Speaker 6 (39:36):
Next Tyre's Halliburton also hit back at his critics after
knocking out the Bucks by posting overrate that on X Now, Ben,
who do you think is actually the most overrated player
in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Well, how by the way, Tyrus Saliburton, you won a
first round series against Doc Rivers and the fucks I
would not celebrate. There's there's a bunch. How about Lebron
James as the most overrated? Next?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Ben, The Tiger were a Cinderella story last year, but
they're kind of leading the AL this year.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Do you think they're the team to beat?
Speaker 1 (40:05):
No, they're not. They're not the team to beat. They're
in the American League Central, the Central Terrible. Uh, they
are not the team to beat in the American League.
I'm still gonna say, the Yankees, how did we do?
Speaker 4 (40:14):
You failed? This edition?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
How do I fail? That's a winning edition of Mallard
of the third degree. It's a bad judging by you.
The judges. Biden
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our ber two, our number two.
How do you do as the Knickerbockers have won in
advanced can you put into context Jalen Brunson's game winning
basket for the Knicks, a dagger three point shot in
the final five seconds? Also, are you convinced the Cade
(00:23):
Cuttingham Pistons have now arrived even though they lost that
series in six games? And do the Jalen Brunson Knickerbockers
have a chance to upend the favored Celtics in the
next round of the playoffs. We'll discuss that as well.
Here it is our number two. With a kiss to
(00:43):
the upper balcony, welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,
ay where as we drop in for a chat, we
are moving and grooving coast, the coast, border, the border,
(01:04):
and beyond on the vast and unfathomably powerful microphones of
fsre ammnating live from the whispers, the whispers of wisdom
from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as our friend Reggie
in Detroit and Joe Dogg and Eed Dogg in New
(01:27):
York would tell you, as we are hanging outside by
side here so exciting, unbelievable as we begin anew this
hour and this portion of the Ben Malers Show, made
possible by ti Rak for forty years, ty Iraq has
been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
(01:48):
free road hazard protection with convenient installation options very important
for fer dog like mobile tireinstallation ti raq dot com
the way that tire buying show. So our lead this
hour is from Motown. We'll get back to the people's
team winning. And I do have those numbers, I promise
if you're listening last hour, I was put on the
(02:09):
spot by that dope Jeff and Denver and Cooper Loop
And you're of any numbers back that was okay. I'll
give you the numbers later. But we're gonna start with
the game in the Motor City, which was a really
good game. I enjoyed it. I was sitting on my
ass watching the game Game six, the Detroit Basketball and
(02:30):
the New Yorkers, the Pistons looking to force a Game seven.
The Knickerbocker's trying to close things out and move on
to take on that Green team were you watching. I
hope you were. This was actually a pretty good game.
It came down to the final seconds with the clock
running down. Jalen Brunson the killer crossover dribble between his legs.
(02:53):
He got a little space and then the dagger from downtown,
a three point shot with four point three seconds left
in the clock, and then he blew a kiss right
there to the upper balcony. The crowd had been taunting him.
That's what good fans do. They taunt the best player
on the other team, and so they did. Now Brunson
(03:16):
had a forty burger in this game, forty points and
the Knicks win the game by three, and what a
great way for the piss and season. And they didn't
even get a shot up. They fetched the ball out
of bounds. Beasley fumbled the ball out of bounds, so
Detroit could have had a chance to tie the game,
and they blew it. And so the win goes to
(03:38):
the team from the Big Apple. New York will now
face the number two, the number two, the Boston basketball
team as they look to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
You realize the Knicks have not been to the Eastern
Conference finals. Saints two thousand. That's a generation. How is that? Man?
(04:05):
When I was growing up of old Buckle mar Day,
but it was like, oh, New York teams have all
the advantage. Those New York teams win all the time.
They have all the top players. Like the Jets have
been terrible. The Giants are an embarrassment. The Knickerbockers are pathetic,
like for the most part, the Mets are ridiculously bad.
The Mets haven't won the World Series since the nineteen eighties.
(04:28):
Ronald Reagan was the president the last time the next
one or the Mets won the World Series. The Yankees,
they're going on, how many years? Has been? Fifteen years
plus now the Yankees haven't won the World Series? So
who goofed? I've got to know. Anyway, let's get back
to this one. Now. The better story is in the
losing locker room. We'll get to that, but I wanted
to start with this, all right, So as we discussed
(04:50):
this game since the Knicks one and everyone has their
pants down because of Jalen Brunson, can you put into
context Jalen Unson's game winning basket for the Knicks. So
I've got meantastic f seventeen Nighthawk and Kentucky Bourbon, and
(05:11):
we will combine all of these things together, and we're
gonna say, forget about it and just have some Detroit pizza.
I didn't even know Detroit pizza was a thing until
a few years ago. I didn't. I had no idea
it was a Detroit So I knew a Chicago style,
I knew New York style pizza. I didn't even know
there was a Detroit style pizza until a couple years
and then all of a sudden, it was like everywhere,
(05:32):
all right. So my first thought on this, I guess
we'll say, numb burn? Can I get a numb burn?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
All right?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
All right? Enough of that, all right? So my first
thought is Baywatch, as in Jalen Brunson was the lifeguard
who saved the Knicks from themselves. Complete shambles for the Knicks.
They were drowning, the Knickerbockers were drowning. It looked early
on they were gonna blow out the pistons. They were
obbing fifteen. I jotted that down on my little notes app.
(06:01):
They were up fifteen early on, and then the pistons
came back, and then the next went ahead again, and
then It was a little bit bit of back and
forth game, but facing a door die game seven, Jalen
Brunson had to rescue his teammates from sinking into the
deep blue sea of Lake Michigan. It was bad. It
(06:22):
was bad, and the Pistons were on their way to
a historical possible comeback. In game seven, Detroit was leading
this by seven points with two point thirty five to Oh,
that's not insurmountable. But you're up by seven with two
and a half minutes to go. You're in pretty good
shape unless Doc Rivers is your coach. Doc Rivers was
(06:44):
not coaching the Pistons, but Jalen Brunson I didn't know
they had this on the betch, but he put his
cape on down the stretch, nerves of steel and that
dagger the crossover to get some space and then the
knockdown three point shot was me fantastic. Jalen Brunson went
twilight zone. You're a bad man. You're a very bad man.
(07:06):
Jalen Brunson with that shot, and it was chest thumping, kissing,
blown kisses up to the upper decks from the JIBBRONI up.
There was a good time and it is a reminder
that one big shot or a couple of big shots
cover up a lot of bad shots. Jalen Brunson took
fourteen shots in the fourth quarter. He only made four
(07:30):
of them. However, it's the last shot, obviously that people
will remember. They'll talk about it. Remember Jalen Brunson beat
the Pistons in a playoff game in the row with
that three point shot. They're not gonna say went four
or fourteen in the fourth quarter, but when they were downed,
when Detroit had a seven point lead, seven point lead,
in really good shape, really good shape. There in the
(07:53):
final couple minutes of the game, Jalen Brunson with was
three or five, four, eight points in the comeback, New
York outscored Detroit eleven to three to close out the
game and turn out the last the parties over for
the Pistons. Now, speaking of that, the better story is
in the losing locker room, So we're gonna go there now.
(08:13):
Despite the loss, I have been seeing a number of headlines,
number of stories, number of posts on the socials with
tributes pouring in that the social media world eulogizing the
Pistons performance, but celebrating that the Motown Hoopers, who had
not broken twenty five wins in the last five seasons.
(08:37):
They jumped all the way up from fourteen and sixty
eight to forty four and thirty eight. They were the
sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. The consensus among popular
people the pundits is that Detroit is now set up.
They've arrived. They're a force in the Eastern Conference for
(08:58):
years to come. Good to go. They're good to go,
all right, So that's the consensus. So I ask the
Esteem panel, which you are a part of, are you convinced?
Are you conmissed you make the call? Are you convinced
that the Cade Cunningham Pistons have a ride? So after
(09:18):
a minute long deliberation, I am shaking my head. No
again on this one, I'm shaking my head.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
This is a stinger. There was venom. There was venom there.
Now there are good signs. I'm not gonna sit here
and say there's no good signs. There were good signs. However,
the finished product is not there, and there are no
moral victories, at least not here. Maybe some other people
like to give us, but the Knickerbockers, I'm Detroit, I'm
(09:47):
spitting mad. The Knickerbockers should have lost this series, right,
they were plumped for the taken. Detroit blew this series.
And again, most games are lost them not one. We
talk about that all the time, and this is a
great exact down the stretch, four straight games were decided
by three points or less. Three of them were Detroit
(10:09):
Basketball home losses. They lost at home by two points,
by one point, by three points. Now, the big picture
the Pistons, if you look at that turnaround from fourteen
wins to forty four wins year to year, the Pistons
have been the last year the F seventeen nighthawk, and
(10:30):
that's what they were, certainly during the regular season this
year where they flew below the radar, they were not
detected by any radar. And you don't just pick up
or you left off. You have to start fresh. And
so they go back and to the very bottom and
have to push the rock back up the mountain. It's
kind of like you're playing a video game and in
(10:51):
the old days, and then the power goes out and
you've got to start over. It doesn't save it. You
got to go back to the very beginning, which is
not ideal. All right. Now, final point to the Jalen
Brunson Knickerbockers as they now have a chance or do
they have a chance to upend the Celtics. That's how
we're gonna frame this. Do the Jalen Brunson Knicks have
(11:14):
a chance to upend the Celtics? Boston with home court advantage, Boston,
the championship pedigree from a year ago, all that nonsense.
So do the Knicks have a chance? So I look
at this for the Knickerbockers. It's not ideal, but it
is Kentucky bourbon. It is a puncher's chance. It is
(11:34):
a puncher's chance. Okay. And the Celtics dominated the Knicks
in their four regular season meetings. They won all four games.
There was only one of them that was close. But
you can't really base too much of that because certain
star players don't play and so not everyone was out there.
And whatever you were back in November and December, obviously
you know you're not the same team. Things get better
(11:57):
or worse, they don't stay the same. Now, the big
red flag for the Knickerbockers. They played nine games against
the top teams Boston, Cleveland and Oklahoma City. Nine games.
Out of those nine games, how many did they win?
The answer would be as many as you and I
and Lorena and Coope and blind emmett Oer for nine.
(12:21):
The Knickerbockers against Boston Cleveland in Oklahoma City, which obviously
raises questions about the fraud nature of the Knickerbockers.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Now.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Fortunately I cannot stress this enough. Past results do not
guarantee future outcomes. Boston's reliance on three point shooting is
a blessing and a curse because when the threes are
not falling, they struggle. They can still win it. Beat
Orlando in a game they didn't make a three point
shot in half, but it's much more difficult. You've also
(12:51):
got Jalen Brown, who's taking time bomb with a knee
that's all wonky. You've got Porzingis who's made out of
glass most of the time. And in Game one, there's
an opportunity to sneak in there and steal Game one
that the Knicks have played, and played and played the Celtics.
You talk about the old debate, We have it every year.
Rus versus Rest, the football debate normally, but Russ versus Rest,
(13:14):
so the Celtics have been off for a number of days.
The Knicks just played here on Thursday night, so they
should be ready to pounce at the beginning of the game. Now,
for the Knicks, another problem is Carl Anthony Towns. Kitty
cat Karl Anthony Towns is in position physically to dominate,
he often does not. He often is a spectator when
(13:37):
he's on the court. He doesn't normally move the needle
in playoff games, at least he doesn't know back to
back games. And you never know from game to game
how Carl Anthony Towns is going to play. That's been
the curse going back to his days in Minnesota. It
hasn't changed with the Knickerbockers. And you know, Jalen Brunson
is the real deal, and he'll get some numbers and
he'll put up some good stats and all that. So
(13:58):
when I bet on the Knicks, I wouldn't bet on
the Knicks. Do I think this is gonna be a
sweep by the celt I would be very surprised. This
has six game series and the Celtics will lose a
game they shouldn't lose early on. They'll lose a game
at the Garden, But they'll end up the Madison Square Garden,
both teams playing the garden, but they'll end up winning
(14:18):
in the end. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. We'll
take your phone calls. If you'd like to be part,
you can join us right now eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six
six three six nine. So we have some business to
take care of. I was put on the spot by
people that are haters about playoff Harden. I pointed out
(14:39):
that in his career, James Harden has been a ninety
ten player, so ninety percent of the time he's been
okay or good. Ten percent of his playoff career, going
back to his days with the Rockets and the Oklahoma
City Thunder, ten percent of the time he's been an
atrocious waste of space, just dead weight. So I'll give
you the numbers on that. I'll give you them math
(15:00):
on that. We'll do that. We have to get to
the equine pick them at some point here this hour
as well, so we have that to get to. Also,
some buyer's remorse we have that. We've got Mallard of
the third degree coming up a little bit later. We
go a lot of get to We'll get to all
of it, and we will do it.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Neck be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific

And remember that the tweets if you send in a
(16:36):
X tweets, whatever you send those in. They're like fine art.
People perceive art much differently. It's open to interpretation. It's
abstract art. Exhibition is what it is. And now back
to it. Oh, we get back to it and we
will have the equine pick them. Does everyone have the horses?
Do we all have the horses? Nobody has the horses? Yes,
let me know we all have the horses. We have
(16:57):
the horses. Okay, we'll do that, but let me first
a threat, Ben, Well, I I don't know yet. I
haven't I have the list of horses in front of me.
I think I know.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I've been studying for weeks.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
That's a lie. Uh and for my hat for weeks. Yeah? Yeah,
you know you ever been to the You've never been
to the derby. You've never been in Kentucky?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Right, No, but LA does their derby day La.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
And that is fun to go to.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Wait, really the real, the real thing, though, the Kentucky Derby.
Have you been to Santa Anita? You're not that far
away from there. Have you been down to beautiful Santa
Anita for a big race? It's awesome? I have not.
You got to do that, man. Oh the hills in
the background Santa Anita is one of the most beautiful tracks.
I have been too many horse tracks, but it's it's awesome.
Speaker 6 (17:43):
So so I This was a question during asked Ben
yesterday that I did not get to, but it is.
It is relevant right now, and I forget who asked it,
but somebody wanted to know if we've ever tried a
mint julip.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
No, I have not. I heard They're not very good.
I heard it. It's like this kind of a thing
you do because it's but they don't actually taste good.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah, no I do, but I do like mint, so
I don't think I might like it. I generally like mint.
I like midchip ice cream, I like mint chocolate. What
what do you what are you cut your throat?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I have had multiple minjush Oh, I bet you have.
I have had them, not only at New Orleans and Disneyland.
I have had them at New Orleans and New Orleans.
At the plantation that I went to, they served minjullups
and that one was really good.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
How similar is it to a mohido? It's not.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's more sweet, Oh, okay, more sugar forward, to be honest, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Sweet's not bad. It's not terrible. Terrible thing. Let me
address before we get to the equine pick them. Let
me address this right now Becausekoopleloop challenged me. This this dope,
Jeff in Denver. What you're talking about, jyps that me explain.
So I went back and I crunched the numbers on this.
So James saw coming into this year again, this is
not this playoff. Before this year, James Harden one hundred
(19:08):
and sixty six playoff games in his career. So what
is a bad playoff game? Using the metric that if
you take ten or more field goal attempts and you
make under three or underfield goals, you're not doing very well.
That is the metric that we use. So James Harden's
one of the all time great NBA players. He's a
(19:30):
Hall of Famer all that, and back in his salad
days with the Rockets, he was amazing during the regular season,
got an average like thirty points a game, was it saying?
So in the playoffs, if you have again here's the metric,
ten or more attempts and under three field goals made.
Out of one hundred and sixty six playoff games coming
into this year, James Harden had eighteen playoff games that
(19:55):
were horrific. That is ten point eight percent of the
time that Harden would essentially ghost his team. So any
other further questions coop before we move on.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
No, So okay, so what what constitutes.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Gave it to you? I just said it. I just
said it that ten or more attempts and three or
under made field goals in the playoffs. So that's like,
that's three for fifteen. You're terrible.
Speaker 6 (20:27):
Okay, yeah, sure, but there's so many other things that
can cost a terrible game.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Okay, but this is the this is the criteria that
is used. You can come up for your criteria if
you well, it's my show.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's my yeah, of course, you spin everything that works.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
How am I spinning it? How am I spinning it?
I went through one hundred and sixty six stupid games
and those are the numbers.
Speaker 6 (20:50):
Right, And I bet you if you looked at other factors,
he has a lot more terrible games than what you
are portraying it as.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I think that's a lot. Eighteen out of one hundred
and sixty six playoff games when you're an offensive player
and you don't play well, eighteen of one hundred and
sixty six. I don't think historically bad. That's that's a lot.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
That's a lot of that's a lot of playoff games,
though you're optimistic. It's a huge sample size. But I
want to know, like how many turnovers you know there's
you can produce?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Go ahead, produce, go ahead, do the research. I've done
the research. I got. I got a lot to I can't.
I know you want me to be your stat guy,
but I'm not gonna do that.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Do we have any music for this? The equine Pickham
and this is coming up here? We're very excited. Oh
my god.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Wait, I gotta have good horse music for this. Give
me like thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Okay, all right, there's no chance she knows what good
horse music. No chance, no idea that she knows what
the music is. And this is the the big day
on Saturday. It is the one hundred and fifty first edition.
Nobody cares about it because not a round number people loved.
Last year it was one hundred and fiftieth Kentucky Derby.
(21:59):
This year is the Hunt in fifty first edition, the
Run for the Roses, a Triple Crown, first leg of
the Triple Crown. It'll be on Saturday post time is
at six point fifty seven. That's not bad. Twenty horses,
(22:19):
although I think one of them has already been knocked out,
so it's not only twenty, but the run for the
roses one and one fourth mile separating the horses, and
one of them will stand out on top of the
great thing about the Kentucky Derby the horses don't know
what the Kentucky Derby is. They just run. Somebody's hitting
them with the stick and so they run. It's they
(22:40):
have no idea what they're doing. It's the beauty of
horse racing. All right, let's get to it. So we'll
go in the order of longevity on the show. So
I'll go first. Coople go second, and oh my and
Loreno will go third.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Go go back to the last one this one.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Oh come on, Lorena, you're killing me here. All right,
I will go first. I am going to take with
the first pick. I need some music here, get me
in the mood going back. All right, we're going to
go back. You're listening to a live coverage here, the
one hundred and fifty first edition of the Kentucky Derby.
(23:17):
Say something, I play some music, My god, all right,
that's fine. With the first pick on the equine, pick
them twenty twenty five for the Kentucky Derby. I will
support all my friends. I knew was a young radio.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Lad shocking, shocking back here.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
What are you talking about? They were proud, a proud newspaperman.
They used to tell me how I was just a
radio loser, and they were. They were into journalism, and
so for that, I'm going to take journalism as my
first pick on the equine. Pick them the one journalism
(23:57):

a chance. And then the rest of them I'm gonna
go with with names that I like. Yeah, So my
first pick, I'm gonna go with Sandman.

Oh see, it's not bad. I I once stayed at

(25:46):

don't know what the hell are we doing here? Go ahead, Coop?
All right.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
From my last pick, I'm gonna go with flying Mohawk.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Flying mohawk, classic move. And your last pick, here we go,
Lorraine Rodriguez scratched, scratched. That's the one that got thrashed.
That's that's why we didn't pick Rodriguez. Uh yeah, Bob
Bafford to Horus there everyone Baffort was banned.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Tis tastic, tis tastic.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
All right, there it is the equine. Pick them, do
with that with what you want. Good luck to all
the horses, the trainers, the jockeys, and and I need

(27:09):
As we are pressing, I'm will take some calls here.
We do have coming up later on this hour. Mallard
to the third degree, and let's see which way do
we want to go? And the phones will go eenie
meaning miney mone. By the way, the number eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. That's eight
seven seven ninety nine six six three sixty nine. If
you'd like to be part of the program. And my
(27:33):
phone thing has jammed, so I'll just take a random guess,
is sir scratch Off still there? Is he?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
Still is he is?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Oh my god, sir scratch Off? Look at that? I
got lucky. Hello, sir scratch Off.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
What's going on?
Speaker 6 (27:45):
Man?
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I want to take I want to take Patrens Spirit.
It's eight to one and I'll take I'll take Castle
as twenty to one.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Okay, Well, you realize what you are, sports book, So
how much you want on that?
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Well you got you know, I used to kill the
dogs in Memphis, but they said they got battle or
health or whatever. They quit doing it. But the horses
are a whole lot better to bet on the dogs.
Dogs never warned that rabbit gonna stop. They're gonna quit,
So you gotta have something for the horses to do.
So I go them too, right.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
There, and I believe that.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I believe that's gonna be a good race Saturday.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'd love to be there, and I'll go five hundred.
Why do you go?
Speaker 3 (28:27):
You just drive out because I gotta go down to
this side of Oklahoma. My boy's in a big sawtball
term at all weekend. He plays saw ball at the weekend.
Evenin's oven. He can playing eleven years. He's really good
this thing too. He's got like two rings. They go
to Dallas and Oklahoma and Branson's there. They go all
over the place to play ball. Yeah, he's really But anyway,
(28:49):
that's uh. Like I said, they say it's gonna be
a good race. I believe it's gonna be a good race.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
Well, anyway, even.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
If it's a bad race, it's two minutes, So who cares.
It's two minutes your life. It's not a three hour
NFL game or a three hour baseball game. It's it's
two and a half minutes. And then it's some some
NBC reporter on a horse trying to track down the
winning jockeyed interview.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
You're right, man, I mean it's it's a go and
then it's over. You know, But I don't ask you.
Let me ask you a question. Do you think we
really did anything at all? I mean, I'm ready for football, dude,
I'm all in football right now, watching the movies play hockey.
He's down on one, two, and now we're we've won
two in a row and we've lost that third one,
so we're down. We're down two or three. So I mean,
(29:36):
we got to win bad.
Speaker 5 (29:38):
But uh, are you ready?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Are you think that Rams did okay on any of
the picks we did pick on that on that NFL draft,
do you think we did anything at all that we
should have done.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Well the NFL Draft? You're talking to the wrong person.
If you're looking for optimism. I'm always I'm always a
skeptic on the NFL Draft. I think the Rams of
I don't okay. I mean, the big move they made
was not the draft. It was a free agent signing
Davonte Adams, and I mean that's the guy that they're
counting on to slide on in and with Cooper cup
(30:12):
gone now that DeVante Adams still has a little bit
left in the tank and can be that number two
receiver next to Puka Nakua and the Rams offense can
keep going here. But the good thing is last year
the Rams showed that they were tough. They have to
do it again. They weren't your typical soft Rams team.
They actually went out there. They they gave the Eagles
the toughest game the Eagles had in the playoffs, Which
(30:33):
is it?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yeah, and you don't been able to take something about
that game. I want I would love to play that game.
I mean, I'll be honest to you. I was hurts
ever since he's in Oklahoma and he went to he
went to the Alabama, then back to went to Okahma,
I mean after that, but then he went to you
know the NFL. It hurts. I mean, he deserved to
get that win. And I'm glad he beat Can't City
(30:56):
because I can't stand the Chiefs. But you know, because
everybody jumped wagon on the Rams and went over to
the Chiefs when they left town, you know, so I
would love to play to myself, the Rams beat the
Chiefs like dog crabs, like a raally, a bunch of
people's face. But I think the Rams they've done too
bad last two or three years. But I would love
to redone that one game. At the end, they're over
(31:16):
because that snow and that weather. I'm not saying that
stop this from winning. But it didn't help us none
because Matt Stafford and boys wasn't ready for that. I
just don't think we're ready for that and whatever, and.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
It was bad for both teams. So you're gonna and
if you if you don't get home field advantage, your
chances are you're gonna in the NFC. You're gonna have
to go to Philadelphia in the playoffs, or you're gonna
have to go to some some cold weather city to play,
whether it's Green Bay or you know, somewhere in the
Midwest other than there are a lot of domes though, Minnesota, Detroit.
But anyway, all right, Well I've noticed now, sir, scratch off.
(31:49):
You've you've you've weaned down to a one day a
week caller. Now you're a one day a week.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I'm just like I told you here a few weeks ago. Man,
You like any won't talk about it when I get
off the radio, but you don't. Still I'm still worry
about my mother, and I've got a lot of my mind.
But my mother is the cancer, so you know, we
don't know what they should die. But she's been filling
better see weeks, but I see any white man, I've
got a lot of my mind.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
All right, well listen, listen. I you know, I've been there.
It's everything. Everything. One's got their own situation. But just
try to spend as much time.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
A stay way. I'm here man, I'm all.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, all right, I gotta go, thank you. All
right there he is the great Sir scratch Off, checking
in doing his thing, working his magic as only he
can do, as only he can do. It is the
Ben Malor Show. As we are working our magic through
the overnight, we have Mallard of the third degree that's
coming up in a couple of minutes. Buyer's remorse. Though
(32:46):
interesting story out of La La Land that there's some
some new after the fact reporting saying the real reason
the Lakers, The real reason the Lakers voided the trade
with Charlotte for Mark Williams is because they were worried
that they overpaid by trading Dalton Connect to Charlotte, and
(33:07):
they saw an out the way the way I saw,
the way I read the story is that they've got
the medical exams and it gave them an alibi. It
gave them an excuse to void the trade because they
thought they had given up too much. In How many
minutes did Dalton Connect play in the Zeros?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
It's zero bad? Zero? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (33:30):
Are you?
Speaker 4 (33:30):
Are you buying that report though?
Speaker 1 (33:32):
No?
Speaker 4 (33:33):
I yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
I mean, it's gotta be so. How many trades have
been voided in NBA history? Not very many, Right, Most
of the time you're traded, you're traded. And the guy
played in the second half of the Hornets, So, I mean.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
It is weird, but yeah, you would think if that
was the case, they would have played Dalton Connect at
some point during the playoffs, like they.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Worried that Connect was going to go to Charlotte and
average twenty seeven points a game or whatever. I mean,
who cares you if you guy, if you need the center,
don't worry about that.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
And if we needed the center.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yeah, anyway, all right, Well that's the latest story out
of La La Land regarding the Lakers, So take that
for what it's worth. We have mallardly third degree coming
up Momentelly ten. Now for the Insta trivia, Jalen Brunson
had forty plus points, seven plus assists in a best
of seven series road clincher. Blank was the last player
(34:29):
to put up that stat line prior to Jalen Brunson
of the Knicks in that game on Thursday night. That
is the Insta trivia. The answer. We'll get to it
and we will do it.

Gottinari from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota? Any Canadian from Milkman
Mike in Colorado he made from Alf the alien opiner?
Who else we have? Vladimir rod Monovich was guessed by
(38:07):
Matt in l a final final gambit from our buddy
mister Irrigation, Doc Gooden, Yes by Shane in Des Moines.
Who else do we have? Terry in England says, is
it the liar? Sir Eliz a lot is that the
answer gold dust from Austin Powers Mojo, Bill Belichick's girlfriend
(38:28):
from Mark and Santa Monica Nature boy answering the call
to the wild, and he says it is Trojan horse.
All right, what's the answer, quickly, lorain a quick way.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
I was gonna say, Lebron James, uh No.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
The answer is actually Jalen Brunson. He did it last
time back last year. Jalen Brunson did it. So the
answer is, jentlemen, here we go, here we go, Here
we go, here we go, here we go. Here were
to the third degree.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
This is one big event.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Gets grilled cool.
Speaker 6 (38:59):
Earlier this week, Bill's GM Brandon Bean, expressed frustration over
being criticized for not drafting a receiver, and he pointed
out that he was also criticized for taking josh Allen Ben.
Do you think the criticism is warranted?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Well, the problem is that Bills have terrible wide receiver
like they scored a bunch of points in all that,
but Keon Coleman, Khalil Secure and Joshua Palmer who they
picked up from the Chargers does not exactly get you
all horny. So they should have done something there. I
know they I guess they added Elijah Moore the other
day this week from Cleveland. I think the criticism is fair.
(39:33):
This is the golden run for Josh Allen. They didn't
do enough.
Speaker 6 (39:36):
Next Tyre's Halliburton also hit back at his critics after
knocking out the Bucks by posting overrate that on X Now, Ben,
who do you think is actually the most overrated player
in the NBA?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Well, how by the way, Tyrus Saliburton, you won a
first round series against Doc Rivers and the fucks I
would not celebrate. There's there's a bunch. How about Lebron
James as the most overrated? Next?
Speaker 6 (39:59):
Ben, The Tiger were a Cinderella story last year, but
they're kind of leading the AL this year.
Speaker 4 (40:03):
Do you think they're the team to beat?
Speaker 1 (40:05):
No, they're not. They're not the team to beat. They're
in the American League Central, the Central Terrible. Uh, they
are not the team to beat in the American League.
I'm still gonna say, the Yankees, how did we do?
Speaker 4 (40:14):
You failed? This edition?
Speaker 1 (40:16):
How do I fail? That's a winning edition of Mallard
of the third degree. It's a bad judging by you.
