beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Hour of the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
We are in the air everywhares we talk the talk
and are frozen in time. The coast, the coast, border,
the border in beyond, on the vast and unimaginably powerful
microphones of fsre.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Ammating live.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
From the mole as we play an audio game of
Lockable right here on Fox Sports Radio from the Fox
Sports Radio Studios, as approved by Jay who's in Vancouver,
and I believe we'll be at the mallor meet and
greet there, and he recommends tug Boat Annie's for poutine.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
So I don't know if that place is good or not,
but that's what he said.
Speaker 2 (01:57):

hour is not from pro Bouncy Ball. We'll get back
to that couple of upsets, as the Celtics sucked at
(02:35):
a time you cannot suck, blew a twenty point lead,
they lost to the Knickerbockers at home embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing,
and speaking of embarrassment, they number one seed in the
Western Conference, was up by thirteen points midway through the
fourth quarter and they rode to vomit comet Oklahoma City
(02:56):
so Denver on a late three point jumper, they knock
out Oklahoma said, not single elimination, but they did win
game one, so three wins away now from advancing to
the next round for both New York and for the
team from Denver. But our lead this hour is from
Baltimore Transaction Wire, the high speed sports wire working overtime
(03:21):
And if you did not see this or miss out
on im possibly the Ravens on a random Monday, not
a Friday news nump. We thought it would be a
Friday news nump, but I in random Monday when people
aren't really paying that much attention to the NFL Right now,
because it's the down time, the Ravens decided to fire
their kicker, Justin Tucker, the creepy kicker, parting ways with
(03:45):
the player that had been dubbed the most accurate kicker
in NFL history given his walking papers. Of course, he's
currently being investigated by the league for sexual misconduct. He
was playing touchy feet on the massage table and that
became problematic.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Now This is less than.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Two months after the president of the Baltimore Ravens came
out and said they're gonna wait to make any decision
on Justin Tucker until the NFL's finished with their investigation.
Spoiler alert, They're not finished with their investigation. So let
us discuss the question. Did the Ravens handle this situation
with Justin Tucker the right way or.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Did they Fumbo the optics?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So I've got tiny Tim, Bazooka, Joe and comic con
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we're gonna make Kung pou Chicken is what we're gonna make,
all right, So, first of all, to begin the dire tribe, here.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Another one of these stories that is on the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Shall you say, like it's just it's a weird deal,
because Fumbo it definitely is a fun he can say,
is it's not a fumble.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's a fumble, and it's one of these deals where
the Ravens it appeared. I read the statement several times.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
My friends Sports with Coleman immediately sent me the statement,
and then I read it, and I read it again,
and then I went back and I read it again,
and then I read it, I was trying to get
it all It's like fine art, you're trying to soak
it all in. And so it appeared to me, based
on my fifth time reading the press release by the Ravens,
that it was them trying to thread a needle. They
were doing needle point that Justin Tucker was my friend,
(05:32):
tries legend and he hasn't been convicted of anything. Right,
you are in the eyes of the law, You're not guilty.
He's not guilty of anything. He's not been charged with
a crime. There's a bunch of lawsuits and people making
statements or whatever, but there's an open investigation into his activity.
And so at this point, the way it works on
(05:53):
social media, you're guilty until proven innocent. So you're on
the same tug boat with the creepy quarterback Sean Watson,
and you're with Robert Kraft with the rub and tug
there at the orchards of Asia Day Spa in Florida
and all that. And the thing here with Justin Tucker is,
if you read the story Tucker has he's vehemently denied
(06:15):
the allegations that you know, he left the secret sauce
on the table at the massage parlor and he says,
all that's false, and it's desperate tabloid fodder and all this.
And I remember Deshaun Watson there was a woman that
had accused him of some hanky panky, and he came
out that first night said this essentially, this is not
(06:37):
just paraphrasing, is not true. And then there was another
one and another one, and it was it was like
a game of whackable. They were just popping up all
over the place.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I go, now you did this.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And then Watson just pulled out his check book and
just cut checks to all the women. All right here
you go go away. And then the Browns gave him
the biggest check of oz we know. But rather than
address this head on, right, rather than address this head on,
the Ravens decided that they would go tiny tim this
old song come Back of the Day. They tiptoed through
(07:08):
the tulips. They tiptoed through the tulips. The choice of
words by the Ravens, It's all about the words. So
the choice of words, they said, Sometimes football decisions are
incredibly difficult, and this one is one of those instances.
Football decisions. Ding ding ding, ding ding incredibly difficult. Ding
(07:29):
ding ding ding ding, who goofed. I've got to know.
It's one of those deals, like don't spit in my
cupcake and tell me it's frosty. If this was not
a thing, if Justin Tucker was not being accused of
these things, he would still be the Kicker even with
his declining play. And that's part of this. Tucker was
(07:50):
not as good this past year. He's thirty five, his
numbers have gone down recently, and so regardless of that,
he would still be there if it hadn't been for this.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This is the scandal, is the thing that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Flipped everything, that was a tipping point, as the famous
line goes, the straw that broke the campbell's back, or
in this case, broke the kicker's job.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And so he essentially wrote his own letter of.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Resignation from the Ravens, and they just didn't want to
say the thing that is the thing, so they just
tiptoed around it. Now, furthermore, what are the odds that
we see Justin Tucker play again in the NFL. We
know he's been fired by the Ravens. They same released
that's code for fire. That's a politically correct term in
(08:39):
sports were fired. So I'm gonna set the Mallor odds
the Mallard Sports book gods at plus one point fifty. Now,
that implies a forty percent chance, a forty percent chance
that he does kick again in the NFL, a sixty
percent chance that it's asta la vista and turn out
(09:01):
the lights. The party's over for Justin Tucker. So it
is a bazooka Joe story. Now what does that mean.
It's gummy. It is a gummy story because Tucker is
gonna have to clear his name in some form to
get another opportunity in the NFL, unless he can convince
the Cleveland Browns to give him a guaranteed concept. We
(09:22):
know the Browns ownership would do that immediately. But outside
of that, it's a tricky little dance for Justin Tucker.
He's facing allegations from sixteen random women of the inappropriate
contact and each woman, each woman is a massage therapist,
and there's a lot of apparently in Baltimore accusing Tucker
(09:43):
of touchy feely massages.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So let's also not ignore the fact that Tucker it
was made easier because you've got the double whammy if
you got one strike, it's okay. Two strikes it becomes problematic.
Tucker had by far his worst season.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
In the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's not my opinion, it is a fact. He made
seventy three point three percent of his kicks thirty field
goal attempts. And so that's not that great. That's that's
not that great for Justin Tucker. And still if he's
able to clear his name, would it be shocking if
a team that has a terrible kicker, like the forty
(10:21):
nine ers for example, or some one of those teams
that they think they're still a.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Contender, whether they are or not, they're on the on
the fringes of contention. They're like, could either go either way.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You can certainly see a team like that or the
Cowboys bringing Tucker in.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But he's made a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He's made over fifty million dollars as an idiot kicker.
So you make over fifty million, you should be set financially.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I know, lawyers are expensive, there's a lot of billable hours,
and Tucker's spending a lot of money to try to
clear his name, so that takes away the money. It
shouldn't be that much money, and Remember he's not even
really a football player. A kicker is a specialist, not
a real football player is most of the time they're
on the side lines there and they don't hit anybody.
They're just kind of there, all right. Last thing, we
(11:04):
move now to the fashion world. We go over to
the fashion world where NFL stars from here, there and everywhere.
They were the talk of the fashion East, the world.
The twenty twenty five met Gala met Gala took place.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was on Monday night.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
There you had Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Justin Jefferson's quand Bark,
a bunch of other players and they were all there.
Among the jocks. A lot of jocks were hanging out,
strutting down the Grand Blue carpet, not the red carpet,
the Grand Blue carpet staircase there at the Metropolitan Museum
(11:45):
of Art in New York City. It's said to be
fashion's biggest night out.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So bunch of NFL stars strutting down the catwalk, if
you will, your thoughts on the jocks embracing the met
Gala yet again.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
So it's one of these things. It's not new, we know,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Listen this is something that's been going on. We've seen
crazy things over recent years at the MET gala, and
it's kind of become just the norm in recent years.
It's not really my scene. It's not really my scene
for many years up until probably I would say ten.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Ten years ago, so it seems like a long time.
I feel like it hasn't been that long. These worlds
did not did not intermingle.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like the.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Football player, the alpha male football player. If you would
have told that player, listen, we want you to go
out there and wear a clown.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Costume and sache.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And walk around, he said, no, No, I am a football player.
I love my masculinity. I would never do that. I'm
all about the machismo. Now, nada the alpha male football player.
There are still some, but not as many, and certainly
no one that attended the shindig last night, and now
(13:11):
they love to jump on the trendy train.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
True.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
True, it's all about the trendy train and the MET gallup.
I've determined over the years that this is like the
Comic Con for celebrities.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You know, Comic Con is for the nerd, the regular person,
the comic Con event, But the Met Gala is famous people.
Comic Con both are over the top. You get all
daulled up, all dressed up, and you're supposed to show
your creativity. And of course the celebrities bring in the
(13:43):
stylists and they've got the big budgets and all that crap. However,
instead of going to Comic Con and doing your cosplay
on a superhero, the gal of the A listers, the jocks,
the celebrities, the elites of society, they all get together
there the channel high factor stuff that you would never
(14:03):
be caught dead wearing in real life, but for one
night you dressed up over the top. How crazy you
can go? Now, some of the outfits here, justin Jefferson
for those of you that are blind, the Viking wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It looked like he was wearing.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
If you're old enough to remember the Seinfeld show, it
looked like he had a cross between the puffy shirt
from Seinfeld and the Inspector Gadget outfit.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Go Go Gadget was over the top.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Jalen Hurts, who could not find time to attend a
team event at the White House.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
He had scheduling conflicts. Apparently no scheduling conflicts for Jalen
Hurts to hang out with other one percenters at the
gala there in New York. It's amazing he was able
to find time to go to the Masquerade ball Jalen
Hurts and he was there honoring I guess he was
honoring Prince.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
He had a raspberry beret, at least some kind of
beret on there, so we had that. He had Stefan
Diggs of the Patriots. Now he showed up and he
was dressed like the King James Earl Jones character from
Coming to America. Stefan Diggs his outfit. He had a
large some kind of dead animal coat that was wrapped
(15:12):
around his body and very similar to the outfit worn
by the James Earl Jones character in Coming to America.
And yeah, pretty good, Pretty good. Now Joe Burrow, who
did not seem to be dressed up. I don't know
what was going on. He was there the Bengals quarterback.
He usually gets really crazy with wild outfits when he's
playing quarterback for the Bengals, and he had this like
(15:32):
South Beach wedding thing going on, like he was ready
to go to the Weddingham Florida somewhere or the tropics
and he's not all that crazy, not all that crazy.
Those are some of the outfits. Anyway, it is the
Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you are more than what. By the way,
Lebron could not attend because he hurt himself, he claimed
because of his injury. Lebron could not attend the med Gala.
(15:54):

Speaker 2 (20:12):
How about this, you, Jerome, Jerome, you have a better
chance of going to the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame
than Aaron going to happen, which is just like, just
like Aaron Gordon's not going to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Listen, he made a couple of shots. Good for him.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And you're admitting, though, Jerome, the Clippers gave that series away, right,
They blew game one, They had the lead, They shouldn't
have gone to overtime, should have won a regulation.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
They blew that game, and they blew the game and
they gave Denver two games. You're admitting that.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Look, I know you're never going to be over this,
but you know, you gotta play a grip, man, You
gotta get a grip, and it happens. Man, who shouldn't teasing.

Does Draymond Green condicted that the Ones are going to
win the championship this year? Does he know anything about that? Because, Uh,
they don't have anything to say about that.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, so somebody predicted, So somebody predicted they're gonna win
the championship. Who cares, right, It doesn't matter. He's a
Draymond's a podcaster too. He's more worried about his podcast
things basketball.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Draymond Green wouldn't lie, would he?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, Athletes never lie. No knowing in sports ever lies
at all. Coaches don't lie, players don't lie. Nobody lies.
They're all upstanding. They always speak the gospel, Derom. Just
like your phone calls, they speak the gospel.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Hey, Bertie, stop doing Bernie stuff.

Yes, in fact, I listened to Bertie. I listened.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Let me tell you something, Droe. I listened to Bernie

shot without Bernie.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
That's right. You're listening to the best man. They could
be where you could be listening amount of people this.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is where you name a munch of people you don't like,
and you go through the whole list and you bunch
your name right, thank you, all right, go away? All right,
there's jaral. Let's say them to. Who do we have?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Mike the Leprechaun. He's on the he's in the Greater
Boston area and he's there. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Good morning, Ben. I agree with Lee the laps, and
even despite Lorena's laps, I would put down a coach's challenge.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Right now, okay, and I have something for you. Right,
let's say a little Mark in Boston. Hello, Mark, welcome.
What kind of kind of craving you call him my show?
And you spin a loogie in my face? Everyone hates you,
Mike the Leprechaun, and I put you on the air,
you lose her.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
What's going on, Mark, Well.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
What's going on is that I'm a very disgruntfuled, freaking
Celtics fand this morning.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
They just missed another three point shot the Celtics.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Now you know what. First of all, before I get
to that once again, they blew another twenty plus point lead,
which they did a lot this year. They need to
tighten that crap up number one, number two, sixty sixty
three point at ten, are kidding me? The ball's not falling,
But kid did it sixty times and only in fifteen
(23:51):
of them. They deserve to lose that game last night.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Well, and Mark, the great thing about Joe Mizzula is
he's just like, no, did he make any adjustments?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You? Just like they were.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
They were the game was slipping away, and the just
kept shooting three point shots. In fact, they when they
blew the twenty point lead, I went back and I
did the math on this. So the closed the game out.
The Celtics once they went up by twenty, they missed.
They took twenty eight more three point shots up by twenty.
(24:20):
They were six of twenty eight from three point range
from that point to the name, it looked like that.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Was the game plan last night and they were sticking
to it and it bit them in the ass.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Well, and how about Jason Tatum step up a little bit,
make some play me. He had a terrible game throughout,
but even the final part of the game, he didn't
do anything.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
And once again they lost Portsingers and then they lost Pauser.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
There you go. But other than that, it's all good.
You should still beat You gotta still beat the Knicks, though,
come on, you can't blow the bend the.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Bottom line here. You can't blow twenty point leads. You
can't do it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah. Well the other thing too, Mark, though, if it's close.
Brunson didn't even do anything.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But I'd still trust Brunson more than Tatum and Jalen Brown,
who the one guy you think you'd want to have
the ball.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
He couldn't even get a shot off in the at
the end and overtime.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
We witness boss like Clutch from from downtown.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I give him that, well he is, but he wasn't
an overtime was o g Anenobi who was the He
was the killer in the overtime for the next not
not Brunson was over four in the overtime.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
He didn't make a shot.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
G started that run to chip away at the twenty
point lead.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, he didn't just start. He was much of the run.
He was just killing it. He was insane in that
stretch for the next Give you the numbers, but you
saw you don't need the numbers anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
All right, thank you, Mark. All right, there's a there's
the great Mark checking in. It is the Ben Malor
show as we we work our way through the early
morning hours, and uh, Bob, my buddy Bobby says, it's
all about the analytics, it's all about the three point show.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, that is correct, Bob. I mean, I mean we've
talked about this by bot because it's.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
There's no common sense. It's like, whatever the numbers are,
it's just a math equation. In sports now, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Like, well, we want to we want to win this way.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
If you take the three point shot, even if you
miss them, the math works out in your favor.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Not very entertaining to watch. It's actually painful to watch
most of the time.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It's like, well, that's the math, and we've got to
keep the math and we can't really change, you know,
that's just the way we got to play. Because the
nerds are concerned about that. I did mention this earlier.
You can go back and hear the podcast, but they
did a rant about the the NBA broadcasters. In all
of these games, the first three games of the second round,
(26:47):
there was a common theme, My god, these players just
played forty eight hours ago or so. They're exhausted, they're
overtax they're fatigued, they're weary, they're weather beaten, and they
were just going all the shtick about how all these
poor NBA players, oh my god, professional basketball players after
(27:08):
play forty eight minutes of basketball, then have a day
off and then go back and play forty eight minutes
over two and a half hours or so, and it
was just over taxing. They were going to be frazzled.
And then what happened was all the road teams so
far have won. Every single road team has won in
(27:29):
the second round of the playoffs. There's one more series
that hasn't started, and that'll be later. I'm gonna get
to that in a second. So all the home teams
that had time off they lost, so immediately following the game,
it was like, well, they were out of sync and
they were rusty because they had too much time off.
(27:50):
So it went they did a wint eighty. It went
from all these teams that have the rest have the
advantage because the teams that didn't have the rest are
going to be a bunch of pushovers and it's going
to be a bunch of lightweights and they won't be
able to compete and all that. And not only that,
like the teams that were at home that all lost
other than the Calves. The Calves really got just their
(28:11):
ass kicked by the Pacers. But other than that, the
Celtics had a twenty point lead. Oklahoma City was up
by thirteen with about half of the quarter left in
the fourth quarter. And they believe the only way the
rust thing works is like the first five minutes of
the game, say all right, we come out after that,
talk to the hand.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I do not want to hear it. Just talk to
the hand that is my position. You just yeah, just stop.
And these these breakfasts, they love making excuses and they
set it up and it's just and this is not
even a second round series.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
The Clippers and the Nuggets, they were talking about how
tired the Clippers were, said, why would they be any
more tired than the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's ridiculous. Just tell me you're just filling dime. You
have nothing to say.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
As far as the games to night in the NBA,
there are two games. I always like to look at
the money. Now I mentioned yesterday, we looked at the money,
and the sharp money was in favor of the Nuggets,
or the sharp money was actually in favor of the
Thunder and the public was more in favor of the Nuggets.
Normally they're on the same side, and so the public
(29:21):
actually did better than the wise guys in terms of
overall vecas Denver was a ten and a half point
underdog in that one. So if you bet on the
Nuggets last night, you did pretty well. Pretty well. It
didn't look like you were going to do that well,
but you did well. At the end, they easily cover
that spread. And then as far as tonight, Pacers and
(29:43):
Calves Game two, a bunch of injured players in the
in the tent, the injury tent for the Cadavers, and
that game, Cavaliers opened up an eight and a half
point favorite. They are a nine point favorite, and both
sides in agreement on that, the Calve getting the sharp
money and the public supporting the Cavs to bounce.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Back and win that game.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
And then you've got the Warriors and the timber Wolves.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
And then we've seen a big move in this game.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Minnesota opened a four point favorite in that game timber
and now now they are a seven point favorite. So
Minnesota team Wolves favored by seven in that game. The
money's relatively even. There's a slight lean the information that
(30:34):
we have.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
There's a slight lean on the sharp money to the
Minnesota basketball team, but it's really within the margin of
error and.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Similar even less in the public, so it's pretty split.
That game's really a fifty to fifty game even with
the seven point spread. Now, the thing that is interesting
the note as a Golden State gets ready to play
here something that hasn't happened in a very long time.
The gold Golden State Warriors are underdogs in a playoff
(31:04):
series for the first time in more than a decade.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
They were last.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Underdogs before a series in Round one of the twenty
fourteen postseason. The last team favored against the Steph Curry
Golden State Warriors the Peoples team the Clippers. The Peoples team,
they were the last one's favorite, and the Clippers actually
won that series over Golden State. And if I remember correctly,
that was Mark Jackson his final series as coach of
(31:33):
the Golden State Warriors, as he was poll axed as
coach following that seven game series loss to the Clips.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So it's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
It's been a minute since the Warriors with Steph Curry
have been an underdog in a series.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Say healo to Kyle, who is a first time caller. Hello, Kyle, Welcome.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Let's just pretend that didn't happen and that was you know,

know what kind of driver you are. You might be
a crazy driver.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
Tickets. No, the Celtics they shot fifteen out of sixty
I believe from the three point line, so they didn't
attack the Knicks at all. And Marcela is probably he's
having a I won't say what he's talking, but anyway,
so blend Scott has made some good calls with him lately. Anyway,
But anyway, I'm sorry, thank you for putting me at back.
Speaker 1 (33:37):

(35:25):
good thought.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Fergnog says, are you really Ai, Ben, I've been listening
to a bleeping computer this whole time.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
Yes, No one wants to work the overnight. This is
the worst shift in radio.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
So the company decided a couple of years ago there
actually was a real Ben Maller years ago, and so
the company determined that Maler sucked at radio and we
could just use AI and recreate his crappy radio show.
And so they said, let's make a terrible radio show
with AI and we'll just use Maller's voice. So yeah,
Ben actually hasn't done the show in about ten years,
(35:58):
about ten years, and.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
No one's even noticed. No, the show sucks so much,
no one's even noticed. It's amazing.

Here an hour number four Scandal Radio. The Creepy Kicker
no longer employed by an NFL team. Did the Ravens
handle this situation with Justin Tucker the right way or
(00:23):
did they fumble the optics? Also, what are the odds
that Justin Tucker plays again in the NFL after he
was fired by the Baltimore football team And a bunch
of NFL stars were strutting down the catwalk in New
York City. Your thoughts on the jocks embracing the met Gala,
(00:46):
we'll talk about that as well. All of it coming

hour is not from pro Bouncy Ball. We'll get back
to that couple of upsets, as the Celtics sucked at
(02:35):
a time you cannot suck, blew a twenty point lead,
they lost to the Knickerbockers at home embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing,
and speaking of embarrassment, they number one seed in the
Western Conference, was up by thirteen points midway through the
fourth quarter and they rode to vomit comet Oklahoma City
(02:56):
so Denver on a late three point jumper, they knock
out Oklahoma said, not single elimination, but they did win
game one, so three wins away now from advancing to
the next round for both New York and for the
team from Denver. But our lead this hour is from
Baltimore Transaction Wire, the high speed sports wire working overtime
(03:21):
And if you did not see this or miss out
on im possibly the Ravens on a random Monday, not
a Friday news nump. We thought it would be a
Friday news nump, but I in random Monday when people
aren't really paying that much attention to the NFL Right now,
because it's the down time, the Ravens decided to fire
their kicker, Justin Tucker, the creepy kicker, parting ways with
(03:45):
the player that had been dubbed the most accurate kicker
in NFL history given his walking papers. Of course, he's
currently being investigated by the league for sexual misconduct. He
was playing touchy feet on the massage table and that
became problematic.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Now This is less than.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Two months after the president of the Baltimore Ravens came
out and said they're gonna wait to make any decision
on Justin Tucker until the NFL's finished with their investigation.
Spoiler alert, They're not finished with their investigation. So let
us discuss the question. Did the Ravens handle this situation
with Justin Tucker the right way or.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Did they Fumbo the optics?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So I've got tiny Tim, Bazooka, Joe and comic con
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we're gonna make Kung pou Chicken is what we're gonna make,
all right, So, first of all, to begin the dire tribe, here.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Another one of these stories that is on the spectrum.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Shall you say, like it's just it's a weird deal,
because Fumbo it definitely is a fun he can say,
is it's not a fumble.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
It's a fumble, and it's one of these deals where
the Ravens it appeared. I read the statement several times.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
My friends Sports with Coleman immediately sent me the statement,
and then I read it, and I read it again,
and then I went back and I read it again,
and then I read it, I was trying to get
it all It's like fine art, you're trying to soak
it all in. And so it appeared to me, based
on my fifth time reading the press release by the Ravens,
that it was them trying to thread a needle. They
were doing needle point that Justin Tucker was my friend,
(05:32):
tries legend and he hasn't been convicted of anything. Right,
you are in the eyes of the law, You're not guilty.
He's not guilty of anything. He's not been charged with
a crime. There's a bunch of lawsuits and people making
statements or whatever, but there's an open investigation into his activity.
And so at this point, the way it works on
(05:53):
social media, you're guilty until proven innocent. So you're on
the same tug boat with the creepy quarterback Sean Watson,
and you're with Robert Kraft with the rub and tug
there at the orchards of Asia Day Spa in Florida
and all that. And the thing here with Justin Tucker is,
if you read the story Tucker has he's vehemently denied
(06:15):
the allegations that you know, he left the secret sauce
on the table at the massage parlor and he says,
all that's false, and it's desperate tabloid fodder and all this.
And I remember Deshaun Watson there was a woman that
had accused him of some hanky panky, and he came
out that first night said this essentially, this is not
(06:37):
just paraphrasing, is not true. And then there was another
one and another one, and it was it was like
a game of whackable. They were just popping up all
over the place.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I go, now you did this.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
And then Watson just pulled out his check book and
just cut checks to all the women. All right here
you go go away. And then the Browns gave him
the biggest check of oz we know. But rather than
address this head on, right, rather than address this head on,
the Ravens decided that they would go tiny tim this
old song come Back of the Day. They tiptoed through
(07:08):
the tulips. They tiptoed through the tulips. The choice of
words by the Ravens, It's all about the words. So
the choice of words, they said, Sometimes football decisions are
incredibly difficult, and this one is one of those instances.
Football decisions. Ding ding ding, ding ding incredibly difficult. Ding
(07:29):
ding ding ding ding, who goofed. I've got to know.
It's one of those deals, like don't spit in my
cupcake and tell me it's frosty. If this was not
a thing, if Justin Tucker was not being accused of
these things, he would still be the Kicker even with
his declining play. And that's part of this. Tucker was
(07:50):
not as good this past year. He's thirty five, his
numbers have gone down recently, and so regardless of that,
he would still be there if it hadn't been for this.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
This is the scandal, is the thing that.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Flipped everything, that was a tipping point, as the famous
line goes, the straw that broke the campbell's back, or
in this case, broke the kicker's job.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And so he essentially wrote his own letter of.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Resignation from the Ravens, and they just didn't want to
say the thing that is the thing, so they just
tiptoed around it. Now, furthermore, what are the odds that
we see Justin Tucker play again in the NFL. We
know he's been fired by the Ravens. They same released
that's code for fire. That's a politically correct term in
(08:39):
sports were fired. So I'm gonna set the Mallor odds
the Mallard Sports book gods at plus one point fifty. Now,
that implies a forty percent chance, a forty percent chance
that he does kick again in the NFL, a sixty
percent chance that it's asta la vista and turn out
(09:01):
the lights. The party's over for Justin Tucker. So it
is a bazooka Joe story. Now what does that mean.
It's gummy. It is a gummy story because Tucker is
gonna have to clear his name in some form to
get another opportunity in the NFL, unless he can convince
the Cleveland Browns to give him a guaranteed concept. We
(09:22):
know the Browns ownership would do that immediately. But outside
of that, it's a tricky little dance for Justin Tucker.
He's facing allegations from sixteen random women of the inappropriate
contact and each woman, each woman is a massage therapist,
and there's a lot of apparently in Baltimore accusing Tucker
(09:43):
of touchy feely massages.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
So let's also not ignore the fact that Tucker it
was made easier because you've got the double whammy if
you got one strike, it's okay. Two strikes it becomes problematic.
Tucker had by far his worst season.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
In the NFL.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's not my opinion, it is a fact. He made
seventy three point three percent of his kicks thirty field
goal attempts. And so that's not that great. That's that's
not that great for Justin Tucker. And still if he's
able to clear his name, would it be shocking if
a team that has a terrible kicker, like the forty
(10:21):
nine ers for example, or some one of those teams
that they think they're still a.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Contender, whether they are or not, they're on the on
the fringes of contention. They're like, could either go either way.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You can certainly see a team like that or the
Cowboys bringing Tucker in.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But he's made a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He's made over fifty million dollars as an idiot kicker.
So you make over fifty million, you should be set financially.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
I know, lawyers are expensive, there's a lot of billable hours,
and Tucker's spending a lot of money to try to
clear his name, so that takes away the money. It
shouldn't be that much money, and Remember he's not even
really a football player. A kicker is a specialist, not
a real football player is most of the time they're
on the side lines there and they don't hit anybody.
They're just kind of there, all right. Last thing, we
(11:04):
move now to the fashion world. We go over to
the fashion world where NFL stars from here, there and everywhere.
They were the talk of the fashion East, the world.
The twenty twenty five met Gala met Gala took place.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was on Monday night.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
There you had Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Justin Jefferson's quand Bark,
a bunch of other players and they were all there.
Among the jocks. A lot of jocks were hanging out,
strutting down the Grand Blue carpet, not the red carpet,
the Grand Blue carpet staircase there at the Metropolitan Museum
(11:45):
of Art in New York City. It's said to be
fashion's biggest night out.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
So bunch of NFL stars strutting down the catwalk, if
you will, your thoughts on the jocks embracing the met
Gala yet again.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
So it's one of these things. It's not new, we know,
it's not.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Listen this is something that's been going on. We've seen
crazy things over recent years at the MET gala, and
it's kind of become just the norm in recent years.
It's not really my scene. It's not really my scene
for many years up until probably I would say ten.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Ten years ago, so it seems like a long time.
I feel like it hasn't been that long. These worlds
did not did not intermingle.
Speaker 5 (12:36):
Like the.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Football player, the alpha male football player. If you would
have told that player, listen, we want you to go
out there and wear a clown.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Costume and sache.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And walk around, he said, no, No, I am a football player.
I love my masculinity. I would never do that. I'm
all about the machismo. Now, nada the alpha male football player.
There are still some, but not as many, and certainly
no one that attended the shindig last night, and now
(13:11):
they love to jump on the trendy train.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
True.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
True, it's all about the trendy train and the MET gallup.
I've determined over the years that this is like the
Comic Con for celebrities.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It really is.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
You know, Comic Con is for the nerd, the regular person,
the comic Con event, But the Met Gala is famous people.
Comic Con both are over the top. You get all
daulled up, all dressed up, and you're supposed to show
your creativity. And of course the celebrities bring in the
(13:43):
stylists and they've got the big budgets and all that crap. However,
instead of going to Comic Con and doing your cosplay
on a superhero, the gal of the A listers, the jocks,
the celebrities, the elites of society, they all get together
there the channel high factor stuff that you would never
(14:03):
be caught dead wearing in real life, but for one
night you dressed up over the top. How crazy you
can go? Now, some of the outfits here, justin Jefferson
for those of you that are blind, the Viking wide receiver.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It looked like he was wearing.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
If you're old enough to remember the Seinfeld show, it
looked like he had a cross between the puffy shirt
from Seinfeld and the Inspector Gadget outfit.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Go Go Gadget was over the top.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Jalen Hurts, who could not find time to attend a
team event at the White House.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
He had scheduling conflicts. Apparently no scheduling conflicts for Jalen
Hurts to hang out with other one percenters at the
gala there in New York. It's amazing he was able
to find time to go to the Masquerade ball Jalen
Hurts and he was there honoring I guess he was
honoring Prince.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
He had a raspberry beret, at least some kind of
beret on there, so we had that. He had Stefan
Diggs of the Patriots. Now he showed up and he
was dressed like the King James Earl Jones character from
Coming to America. Stefan Diggs his outfit. He had a
large some kind of dead animal coat that was wrapped
(15:12):
around his body and very similar to the outfit worn
by the James Earl Jones character in Coming to America.
And yeah, pretty good, Pretty good. Now Joe Burrow, who
did not seem to be dressed up. I don't know
what was going on. He was there the Bengals quarterback.
He usually gets really crazy with wild outfits when he's
playing quarterback for the Bengals, and he had this like
(15:32):
South Beach wedding thing going on, like he was ready
to go to the Weddingham Florida somewhere or the tropics
and he's not all that crazy, not all that crazy.
Those are some of the outfits. Anyway, it is the
Ben Maler Show. If you'd like to comment on any
of that, you are more than what. By the way,
Lebron could not attend because he hurt himself, he claimed
because of his injury. Lebron could not attend the med Gala.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
No home field advance. Like I don't think you counted right,
I'm like, guess I did. Yeah, so that you said,
I haven't. I even threw away the ticket. I was like,
you know what, something doesn't feel right now. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Fished it out of the garbage. Tell you something I
looked up. It doesn't matter. They make a bad call
in the super Bowl, that's it. It's just the final
score stands. They don't go back the next day and
play it. And this is a brand new hour and
we're we don't go back to a previous hour. I'm
worried about this hour. I don't care about last hour.
I'm living in the moment. I can't go back to
(18:54):
last hour. I'm living right now in this hour of
talk radio.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I'm feeling sick. I don't know if I'm gonna make
it tomorrow. Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Well look
at you don't want to pilg in my mouth? How
about that?
Speaker 6 (19:05):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Anyway, let's say some calls good, yeah, win by me.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Let's go to Jerome bringing home Jerome in Charleston. Hello, Jerome, the.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
Season in the Coopers game, He's going to be in
the Hall of Team because every time he just keeps
making the.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Winning wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait wait what time about Aaron Gordon
is going to be in the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 6 (19:31):
Absolutely, are what kind of what kind.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Of crack are you smoking? Aaron Gordon's going to be
in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Look, he making these game winning players and the team again,
I I did.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
I watched the game.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
He made a game winning three point shot, and that's great.
And he's not a Hall of Fame. It is basketball.
They play anybody in the Hall of He's never been.
He's never been an All Star, he's never won any
award in the NBA. He's never won any ACT and
he's been in the NBA for over a decade.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Jerome, he's got a championship.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, that's a that's a that's not an individual that's
a team award, not an individual award.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
How about this, you, Jerome, Jerome, you have a better
chance of going to the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame
than Aaron going to happen, which is just like, just
like Aaron Gordon's not going to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Listen, he made a couple of shots. Good for him.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
And you're admitting, though, Jerome, the Clippers gave that series away, right,
They blew game one, They had the lead, They shouldn't
have gone to overtime, should have won a regulation.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
They blew that game, and they blew the game and
they gave Denver two games. You're admitting that.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Look, I know you're never going to be over this,
but you know, you gotta play a grip, man, You
gotta get a grip, and it happens. Man, who shouldn't teasing.
By the way, the.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
Lover is Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's a yeah. No, no women say that,
but you can say that.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
Hey, by the way, what happened to a people to
talk about Firebodeau? There one thing one all that talk to.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Well, well, yeah, yeah, you know, you know it's works drop.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
Wait, jer you know they go out and the Celtics
and put the whammie on the Knicks in game two.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
It'll be back fired. Tips. He doesn't know what he's doing.
He played him too many minutes. You know the whole thing.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
Does Draymond Green condicted that the Ones are going to
win the championship this year? Does he know anything about that? Because, Uh,
they don't have anything to say about that.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Well, so somebody predicted, So somebody predicted they're gonna win
the championship. Who cares, right, It doesn't matter. He's a
Draymond's a podcaster too. He's more worried about his podcast
things basketball.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
Draymond Green wouldn't lie, would he?
Speaker 5 (21:55):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
No, Athletes never lie. No knowing in sports ever lies
at all. Coaches don't lie, players don't lie. Nobody lies.
They're all upstanding. They always speak the gospel, Derom. Just
like your phone calls, they speak the gospel.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Hey, Bertie, stop doing Bernie stuff.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Yes, I'm taking all of Bernie's material, Bernie frattle from
the I'm taking all of Bernie's material.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Yes, in fact, I listened to Bertie. I listened.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Let me tell you something, Droe. I listened to Bernie
every weekend. Otherwise I wouldn't know how to do a
shot without Bernie.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
That's right. You're listening to the best man. They could
be where you could be listening amount of people this.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is where you name a munch of people you don't like,
and you go through the whole list and you bunch
your name right, thank you, all right, go away? All right,
there's jaral. Let's say them to. Who do we have?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
Mike the Leprechaun. He's on the he's in the Greater
Boston area and he's there. Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Good morning, Ben. I agree with Lee the laps, and
even despite Lorena's laps, I would put down a coach's challenge.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Right now, okay, and I have something for you. Right,
let's say a little Mark in Boston. Hello, Mark, welcome.
What kind of kind of craving you call him my show?
And you spin a loogie in my face? Everyone hates you,
Mike the Leprechaun, and I put you on the air,
you lose her.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
What's going on, Mark, Well.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
What's going on is that I'm a very disgruntfuled, freaking
Celtics fand this morning.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
They just missed another three point shot the Celtics.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
Now you know what. First of all, before I get
to that once again, they blew another twenty plus point lead,
which they did a lot this year. They need to
tighten that crap up number one, number two, sixty sixty
three point at ten, are kidding me? The ball's not falling,
But kid did it sixty times and only in fifteen
(23:51):
of them. They deserve to lose that game last night.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Well, and Mark, the great thing about Joe Mizzula is
he's just like, no, did he make any adjustments?
Speaker 1 (23:58):
You? Just like they were.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
They were the game was slipping away, and the just
kept shooting three point shots. In fact, they when they
blew the twenty point lead, I went back and I
did the math on this. So the closed the game out.
The Celtics once they went up by twenty, they missed.
They took twenty eight more three point shots up by twenty.
(24:20):
They were six of twenty eight from three point range
from that point to the name, it looked like that.
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Was the game plan last night and they were sticking
to it and it bit them in the ass.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Well, and how about Jason Tatum step up a little bit,
make some play me. He had a terrible game throughout,
but even the final part of the game, he didn't
do anything.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
And once again they lost Portsingers and then they lost Pauser.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
There you go. But other than that, it's all good.
You should still beat You gotta still beat the Knicks, though,
come on, you can't blow the bend the.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
Bottom line here. You can't blow twenty point leads. You
can't do it.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah. Well the other thing too, Mark, though, if it's close.
Brunson didn't even do anything.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
But I'd still trust Brunson more than Tatum and Jalen Brown,
who the one guy you think you'd want to have
the ball.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
He couldn't even get a shot off in the at
the end and overtime.
Speaker 5 (25:09):
We witness boss like Clutch from from downtown.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I give him that, well he is, but he wasn't
an overtime was o g Anenobi who was the He
was the killer in the overtime for the next not
not Brunson was over four in the overtime.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
He didn't make a shot.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
G started that run to chip away at the twenty
point lead.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Yeah, he didn't just start. He was much of the run.
He was just killing it. He was insane in that
stretch for the next Give you the numbers, but you
saw you don't need the numbers anyway.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
All right, thank you, Mark. All right, there's a there's
the great Mark checking in. It is the Ben Malor
show as we we work our way through the early
morning hours, and uh, Bob, my buddy Bobby says, it's
all about the analytics, it's all about the three point show.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Well, that is correct, Bob. I mean, I mean we've
talked about this by bot because it's.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
There's no common sense. It's like, whatever the numbers are,
it's just a math equation. In sports now, it's.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Like, well, we want to we want to win this way.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
If you take the three point shot, even if you
miss them, the math works out in your favor.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Not very entertaining to watch. It's actually painful to watch
most of the time.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
It's like, well, that's the math, and we've got to
keep the math and we can't really change, you know,
that's just the way we got to play. Because the
nerds are concerned about that. I did mention this earlier.
You can go back and hear the podcast, but they
did a rant about the the NBA broadcasters. In all
of these games, the first three games of the second round,
(26:47):
there was a common theme, My god, these players just
played forty eight hours ago or so. They're exhausted, they're
overtax they're fatigued, they're weary, they're weather beaten, and they
were just going all the shtick about how all these
poor NBA players, oh my god, professional basketball players after
(27:08):
play forty eight minutes of basketball, then have a day
off and then go back and play forty eight minutes
over two and a half hours or so, and it
was just over taxing. They were going to be frazzled.
And then what happened was all the road teams so
far have won. Every single road team has won in
(27:29):
the second round of the playoffs. There's one more series
that hasn't started, and that'll be later. I'm gonna get
to that in a second. So all the home teams
that had time off they lost, so immediately following the game,
it was like, well, they were out of sync and
they were rusty because they had too much time off.
(27:50):
So it went they did a wint eighty. It went
from all these teams that have the rest have the
advantage because the teams that didn't have the rest are
going to be a bunch of pushovers and it's going
to be a bunch of lightweights and they won't be
able to compete and all that. And not only that,
like the teams that were at home that all lost
other than the Calves. The Calves really got just their
(28:11):
ass kicked by the Pacers. But other than that, the
Celtics had a twenty point lead. Oklahoma City was up
by thirteen with about half of the quarter left in
the fourth quarter. And they believe the only way the
rust thing works is like the first five minutes of
the game, say all right, we come out after that,
talk to the hand.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
I do not want to hear it. Just talk to
the hand that is my position. You just yeah, just stop.
And these these breakfasts, they love making excuses and they
set it up and it's just and this is not
even a second round series.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
The Clippers and the Nuggets, they were talking about how
tired the Clippers were, said, why would they be any
more tired than the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
It's ridiculous. Just tell me you're just filling dime. You
have nothing to say.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
All right.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
As far as the games to night in the NBA,
there are two games. I always like to look at
the money. Now I mentioned yesterday, we looked at the money,
and the sharp money was in favor of the Nuggets,
or the sharp money was actually in favor of the
Thunder and the public was more in favor of the Nuggets.
Normally they're on the same side, and so the public
(29:21):
actually did better than the wise guys in terms of
overall vecas Denver was a ten and a half point
underdog in that one. So if you bet on the
Nuggets last night, you did pretty well. Pretty well. It
didn't look like you were going to do that well,
but you did well. At the end, they easily cover
that spread. And then as far as tonight, Pacers and
(29:43):
Calves Game two, a bunch of injured players in the
in the tent, the injury tent for the Cadavers, and
that game, Cavaliers opened up an eight and a half
point favorite. They are a nine point favorite, and both
sides in agreement on that, the Calve getting the sharp
money and the public supporting the Cavs to bounce.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Back and win that game.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
And then you've got the Warriors and the timber Wolves.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
And then we've seen a big move in this game.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
Minnesota opened a four point favorite in that game timber
and now now they are a seven point favorite. So
Minnesota team Wolves favored by seven in that game. The
money's relatively even. There's a slight lean the information that
(30:34):
we have.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
There's a slight lean on the sharp money to the
Minnesota basketball team, but it's really within the margin of
error and.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Similar even less in the public, so it's pretty split.
That game's really a fifty to fifty game even with
the seven point spread. Now, the thing that is interesting
the note as a Golden State gets ready to play
here something that hasn't happened in a very long time.
The gold Golden State Warriors are underdogs in a playoff
(31:04):
series for the first time in more than a decade.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
They were last.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Underdogs before a series in Round one of the twenty
fourteen postseason. The last team favored against the Steph Curry
Golden State Warriors the Peoples team the Clippers. The Peoples team,
they were the last one's favorite, and the Clippers actually
won that series over Golden State. And if I remember correctly,
that was Mark Jackson his final series as coach of
(31:33):
the Golden State Warriors, as he was poll axed as
coach following that seven game series loss to the Clips.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So it's been a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
It's been a minute since the Warriors with Steph Curry
have been an underdog in a series.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Say healo to Kyle, who is a first time caller. Hello, Kyle, Welcome.
It's going on, man, I'm just saying, I'm just talking.
There's a lot of lights on because they're recording for YouTube.
But that's about it. What's going on with you?
Speaker 5 (32:05):
Are you for real?

the worst shift in radio.

actually was a real Ben Maller years ago, and so
the company determined that Maler sucked at radio and we
could just use AI and recreate his crappy radio show.

with AI and we'll just use Maller's voice. So yeah,
Ben actually hasn't done the show in about ten years,
