Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, Birth three, Our three,
and we hang out talking nature at least the nature
boy as Rick Flair throwing some haymakers the atomic elbow
from the top rope. How would you classify Rick Flair's
take on the modern NBA player and the modern wrestler?
(00:24):
And what do you make of Joe Missoula never being
on the hot seat? That's the latest report with the
Celtics that he was never on the hot seat. Why
has there been no traction on the Dame Lillard trade
front as that has reached a quagmire. We'll talk about
that and much more right now here. It is our
(00:46):
number three, the atomic elbow coming down on top of
NBA players and wrestlers at the same time, A two
for one special Well gom In beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mahler Show. We are in the air
(01:07):
everywhere as one as we explode with marginal takes coast
to coast, border the border and beyond on the mast
and epically powerful microphones of FSR emmating live from the
(01:27):
Griddle flipping burgers all night long. We are broadcasting live
from the ti rack dot Com studios. Tyrac dot Com
will help you get there, and unmatched selection, fastree shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
That's a that's a lot tire rack dot Com the
way tirebind should be. So we'll change it up a
(01:48):
little bit. This hour a story that crossed the sonar
in the north Woods when I was looking around there
and trying to figure out what was going on today
with interest me what I wanted to talk with you about,
what I think would make somewhat decent sports radio. So
our league comes from the nature boy. Rick Flair, a
(02:09):
wrestling icon that has passed through multiple generations and he
is now filling the content kitty. The legendary figure in
professional wrestling, has issued some spicy hot opinions on pro
bouncy ball and also the sport he's known for wrestling.
Enough you didn't see this and maybe you missed it.
(02:31):
Rick Flair says that his interest in pro basketball is
starting to wane. Why is that because this generation of
ballplayers in the NBA, they just don't show up to
work enough. They don't put the effort in that the
previous generations of basketball players did. Flair said, quote, these
(02:54):
basketball players are whiney, and he then said, BIATCHI as well.
It's taken a lot of the sport away from me.
Flair grumbling during a recent interview, he compared the bitching
from NBA players to wrestlers who often would wrestle back
(03:15):
in his day in pain, and then Rick Flair pivoted
and he said, hey, the modern rest he says, that's
what pisses me off. He said today about these basketball players,
they stubbed their toe. I got a torn nail. Wo wo.
But he also said the wrestlers do not do the
work that they did back in his day. So let
(03:36):
us discuss how would you classify Rick Flair's take on
the modern NBA and wrestlers of today. So I've got
triple Axel, missionary trip, and inflatable pink Flamingo, and we
will combine all of these. You can't give me the
(03:57):
buzzer before you even start sorry about that. It's a
bad job by you. Iowa was saying, I hit the
wrong button there, man, I haven't even given my full take.
I'm setting This is called take setting up. I was
aiming for the bell there and building up to a
crescendo is what I'm doing here. All right, someone again,
how would you classify Let's try this again, how would
(04:17):
you classify Rick Flair's take on the modern NBA player
and wrestler. Okay, so I've got triple axel, missionary mission
and inflatable pink Flamingo. You're still in the darkhouse. So
first of all, First of all, many will just dismiss
(04:38):
Rick Flair. What happens when you reach a certain age
and you give an opinion which is not popular. You
know what they call you, boomer? You're a boomer boomer boomer,
that's what they're gonna call out of touch, just an
old guy screaming at clouds. But Rick Flair, he's seventy
four years old, God bless him, but he's still got
He's got that street Craig Rick Flair. You know, he's
(05:00):
made more money since he retired. He's like semi retire.
Every once in a while has show up to a
wrestling event, but he's pretty much retired. He's made more
money from selling weed. He's a drug dealer, Rick Flair.
He makes more money from that than he did from
wrestling all those years for Vince McMahon. But in terms
of people ripping Rick Flair for his take on the
NBA and all that. I disagree that rant was so
(05:23):
food is what it was. And well, the problem is
inflated in the NBA where it's out of control. It's
encouraged by the coaching staff, the sports medicine people, the ownership,
the commissioner of the NBA all give their blessing for
the modern player to be a slug and not show
(05:45):
up to work and not put the work in. It's
part of the NBA. It's encouraged by the people in
charge there, which fascinates me. It's really an underlying condition
that started to really grow in basketball and has now spread.
And it's a social talksin that the more money you
(06:05):
make as a professional athlete, the bigger the wimp you
are as a professional. It's fascinating. Like the players back
you know, back in the old days, they were a
lot of working is they didn't make the ridiculous money.
They made a lot of money, but not the money
they make now. And yet because of that, the players
are surrounded by pillows and they're not supposed to put
(06:28):
any elbow grease in and don't play too many back
to back games, don't play any back to back games.
Limit your minutes. We know just how much you can play,
and then your body's gonna fall apart. We have all
the answers, and you don't have to pay your dues.
And that's really what Rick Flair was saying. The way
I interpreted his opinion is like these people, they don't
put the dues and the maniacal work ethic is not
(06:51):
something that you are rewarded for. You are looked down
upon if you do that. Having the ambition to play
in every game, play every possible minute, the fire in
your belly is seen as a net negative in the
modern NBA and apparently in wrestling, And as Clayton Kershaw
taught me last baseball season, you're pitching a perfect game
(07:16):
against the Minnesota Twins. You've never done that before. It's
early in the season. But to try to pitch a
perfect game a great individual accomplishment, that's a selfish goal.
Kershaw taught me that. I always thought perfect games were
an amazing thing and you should strive to do that.
But it wasn't until Clayton Kershaw told me that was
a selfish goal. Before that, I always thought that was
the way to go. I guess I was on the
(07:36):
wrong side of history. I was, But perseverance is seen
as a weakness, and so when Rick Flair won on
his little rant recently, that was the triple axel. As
far as I'm concerned, he landed the triple axel. Even
the East German judge scored that a perfect ten, so
(07:56):
good job by him. Now moving on from that and
just sticking with old school pro bouncy ball, we go
to Boston and even with the epic vanishing act at
the end of several playoff games where the head coach
of the Celtics was a mere spectator, choosing not to
call a timeout, not to drop a play, and just
along for the ride like he was Joe Blow in
(08:18):
the stands. The story bouncing around this week says the
Celtics never ever considered firing Joe Mozula, that he was
never on the hots despite the buzz that he should
have been fired, and then he was going to be fired.
(08:39):
Now we are told speculation about Joe Mosula's status was
quote overblown by who what do you make? What do
you make of the chatter that Joe Missoula was never
on the hot seat with the Celtics, never ever ever
on the hot seat for the Celings. So it is
a sign of the times. It is a sign of
(08:59):
the times in the the old country, let him play,
Joe would have been terminated, get out of here, see
you later. His coaching blunders made for great sports talk
radio during the NBA playoffs, tremendous cannon fodder. But based
on what we've heard now how the Celtics are put together,
(09:21):
you have to say, when you take a couple of
lancing looks at the Celtics here, that Joe Missoula is
the Dave Roberts or Aaron Boone of the Celtics. He's
in that same class of coaches, that he's on a
missionary mission when he goes into that Celtic locker room
there and he's merely spreading the gospel that the front
(09:44):
office has informed him of the vision from the front office.
And Joe Miszoula, if you look at this, he would
not have even sniffed the head coaching job had emy
Udoka kept his pants zipped up. But now here we are,
he's got the job, and Brad Stevens and the people
in the front office like you're our messenger. Pigeon and
(10:06):
all the merry men around Brad Stevens in Boston. They're like, well,
just play this all we want to play, want high
volume three point shooting. We want that style of basketball.
We value offense over defense. And it's just a make
and miss league. If we make enough three point shots
that we're gonna win. If we don't make enough three
point shots, we're not going to win. The goals to
get as many open three point looks as we can.
(10:28):
That's it. It's pop a shot. That's Celtic basketball. That's it.
And Red Arbach is choking on a cigar rolling over
in his grave right now, and all the other old
Celtics from back in the glory days of the Celtics
is all about, as Joe Madden would say, the analytical
membrane of the Celtics, the data. That's what it's all about.
(10:51):
What a world all right now, final thought, let's go
to the Pacific Northwest for our obligatory Mallard monologue about
Dame time. Damian Lillard of the Miami Heat continues to
do a public dance. Lillard with the Heat, they're doing
a dance of romance, trying to get together and they're
trying to have the relationship become official. They would like
(11:15):
to consummate the relationship, but the deal is said to
be not close at this point. We are now told
the Blazers and Heat have no real traction according to
Shem Sharania, who gets paid to throw rumors out there,
So there's no traction on a transaction that would send
Dame Lillard to South Florida at this particular point, despite
(11:38):
his desire. So why is there Here's the question, why
is there no traction on Damian Lillard being traded at
this particular point. So the answer simply is, there is
no rush. The time is on the side of Portland.
It's the inflatable pink flamingo season. Summer vacation time in
(12:04):
the NBA training camp does not start until late September
or early October, depending on when you report the training hip.
So that means sitting here in mid July, you've got
the rest of July, you got August and most if
not all of September to work out the details that
(12:25):
the fine print on this trade, and the Blazers clearly
do not like the sales pitch they're getting from the
Miami Heat at this point, Otherwise they would have made
the trade. But if they think that Lillard is and
I'm talking about Miami here, if they think that Lillard
is the dream boat and all that, then they're gonna
have to up the ante. And that's Portland's counting on
(12:47):
that at this point. And I do love the breathless reporting,
minute by minute coverage. When will Dame Lillard be traded
from the Blazers and so Miami. We're gonna hear some
reports coming up. Miami's frustrated, they don't know what to do.
Maybe they've they've turned away from Lillard, they're looking at
somebody else. Lillard will be exasperated and there'll be some
(13:12):
mystery team that will pop up. It is the Ben

He says he's a Disney character for a Bugs Life.
He said he learned this when he was a kid
way back in nineteen ninety eight. He said that the
Disney movie taught him a valuable lesson about sticking together.
(18:08):

backs are like ants. He says he's Flick the inventive ant.

You've never seen that ride?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
No, I don't know. Past I know we go, we

things that were to see, but apparently not. Kind of
a little kid plays.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Hold on security. You know. There's they're saying that they
a bugs Land. I guess it's no longer there. It
was there, but it's no longer there. I haven't been.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Then, well, I don't make that much money at it,

last time I was there, I remember walking around they
had bugs Lin. Yeah, they don't anymore. It's a pretty
solid animated film.

have done that well because if it was any good,
they would have made five of them and they wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
Have closed the I mean, does that That's what It's
a pretty big indict.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
But that's about right though, because it says the according

the ride was there a long time? When did it?
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Well, they've got also got like Cinderella and those kinds
of rides. They're still there, so they haven't got rid
of those.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
They closed in twenty eighteen. I have not been to
Disneyland since twenty eighteen, so last time I was there,
they had a Bugs lance. There you go is the
Ben Mall Show newby Night. Let's say hello to Becky.

These guys now are just a bunch of flipping babies.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
That's right, man, absolutely correct.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Well, the reason I called is because my son listens
to you all the time, and he's also fasting. And
he said, man, you need to call him.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Oh great, what's your son's name, Becky Colby? Nice? And
how's the fasting going for your son? Good?

good woman. That's not find a good woman that's not
going to take advantage of you.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
That's important too, right. You know, as a woman, there's
a lot of women out there that will take advantage
of a man. They use their feminily powers to take
advantage of a man.
