Speaker 1 (00:00):
Omaha, o maha, omaha. It's our numberfour. Happy Tuesday. It's
our number four of the pod. We were up all
night providing you with fresh pod and here in our
number four The Ben Maler Show, what is the word
for Cowboys Executive vice president Stephen Jones saying he genuinely
has no idea when Micah Parson's extension will get done?

(00:24):
And can you explain what the lack of contract negotiation
between the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson signifies to you. We'll
discuss that and give me the odds that Bill Belichick
doesn't coach even one game for North Carolina. There are
some reports speculating that Belichick will not even make it

(00:45):
to the first game as Tar Hills coach because of
his sugar baby will go there as well. All of
it's coming your way right now here. It is our
number four. Have a wonderful day. The old non answer
answer which does count kind of welcome. In the beginning

(01:06):
of another hour of The Ben Maler Show. We are
in the air everywhere in the passenger seat as we
are a number one with raccoons, hedgehogs, and owlss. Nocturnal
animals love the show. Coast to coast, border to border,
and beyond. On the vast and ear poppingly powerful microphones

(01:30):
of fs are ammunating live from another dimension, a dimension
of only sound and mind, to the boundaries of the
imagination the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by mister Irrigation.
He's in Houston, he approves this message. And Fry Daddy,

(01:51):
Fry Daddy's in Pennsylvania, he approves as well. So I
lead this hour. We're gonna talk some football. I we'll
mention obviously, the the NBA games last night. The Celtics
are on the brink of elimination, and now Jason Tatum's
hurt and it's really bad. We don't know how bad.
We're gonna find out for sure. It's ninety nine point
nine percent popped Achilles, which means he's out pretty much
all of next year too. So in the span of

(02:13):
a day, the Celtics went from right back in the
series with the Knicks to on watch for elimination right there,
the last Suppers coming up on on Wednesday, and Jason Tatum,
you're a franchise player, your forever superstar, the greatest thing
better than Larry Bird now has an Achilles injury. If
you look at the comps on that, that is typically

(02:36):
a career altering injury that you can come back, but
you're not the same player, You're half the player that
you were. And so good luck, good luck on that.
And the other game, Golden State had the lead at halftime,
and then Minnesota went out and put a can of
whoop ass on the Warriors in the third quarter and

(02:56):
they end up winning. So minnesotap three, and so both
most series three to one minutesa in the West, up
by three games to one in New York in the East.
But we also had the Dallas Mavericks. No funny business.
Not all that was on the up and up. Nothing
funny about the Mavericks with a less than two percent
chance winning the lottery at all. But our leaders from

(03:18):
a different team in Dallas, Jerry's world, the spawn of
the owner, the executive vice president, Stephen Jones, gave a
state of the Cowboy address if you will, if you
did not hear, perhaps not the Stephen Jones, recently, making
comments on a Mad Dog radio show, said he had

(03:41):
no idea, no idea about the contract extension. When it'll
get done for Micah Parsons, the defensive star. He said
he has no crystal ball is what Stephen Jones said. Quote,
I've never been one to crystal ball when contracts get done,
Jones barked into the phone during the interview. I mean

(04:03):
you can be close, Stephen Jones said, and you think
you're right around the corner, and then they get pushed out,
and there's extenuating circumstances as to why they, meaning the
player or their agent don't want to pull the trigger.
So yeah, you know that just the work in progress.
So let us discuss the question what is the word?

(04:27):
What is the word for Cowboys Executive vice president Stephen
Jones saying that he genuinely has no idea when Micah
Parsons extension will get done. So I've got James Bond,
radio dial and Tsunami, and we will combine all of

(04:47):
these things together and we are going to make enchiladas
is what we're going to make. So to kick off here,
the word I will use to sum up Stephen Jones
saying he genuinely has no idea what's going to happen
here with Michael Parsons. The word I will use is theatrical.
That's the word theatrical is my word. And here's why

(05:11):
this is standard fair. It's cowboy puffery with a capital P.
Is what it is. Stephen Jones does not have a
crystal ball. However, we doubt we have a crystal ball.
If you do talk radio, you gotta have a crystal ball.
And as a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of Nostradinas,
he lives in Seattle, we know that these things are

(05:35):
strategically planned out in the calendar app on the phone
for full impact and engagement. It is the ethos of
the Dallas football team and it is the secret sauce
of Jerry Jones. The Cowboys contract posturing Jerry Jones, I
am convinced as a little boy a thousand years ago.

(05:58):
As a little child, Jerry Jones was a huge fan
of the James Bond Agent Double seven franchise. Here's why
he modeled the cowboy roster moves, the contract negotiations of
the Dallas Cowboys. He's modeled them. It's like a classic
race against time. The bomb scene in those spy movies,

(06:22):
Will you defuse the bomb in time? And it's a
staple of spy films, action films, always ticking down the
ominous clock because there's one way, one way only. If
you're making a bomb, you must put a clock on it,
and you have to stop it at the last possible second.

(06:44):
And you can see the beads of sweat from the
forehead dripping down and hands are shaking the dramatic close
up shot. Will they stop the bomb? Do you cut
the silver wire? Do you cut the blue? And are
you sure it's the right wire? What if it's not
the right wire? And I have no choice. I have

(07:05):
to cut a wire. And if you cut the wrong
what gub boom? Right there? Jerry has to stop the
nuclear bomb from exploding, and he always does it with
mere seconds to go, with mere seconds to go, And
so for what it's worth. Michah Parson's brother not familiar
with his game, Terrence Parsons, He said on social media

(07:29):
recently that Micah Parsons will not be holding out, that
he will show up the training camp and participate. Micah,
when this is all done, will be the NFL's highest
paid non quarterback. When the dust settles, and the Cowboys
will go out and win anywhere from nine to twelve
games and then lose the first time they play a
halfway decent team in the post season. Now furthermore, tes

(07:53):
Cincinnati we go where some new developments involving the NFL
sack leader Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson sounding off alarm
bells were sounded. It sounded like that, just like that.
So Trey Hendrickson voicing his distaste, his frustration. He is

(08:18):
frazzled at the state of negotiation or lack thereof. If
you will nothing, it's pond water, is what it is.
He wants a long term contract, says no communication. That's quote,
no communications taking place since the draft. The plot thickens.
So explain question is, explain what the lack of contract

(08:41):
negotiation between the Bengals and Trey Henderson signifies to you?
So nothing going on here. So we know from life
experience that actions speak louder than the words. But sometimes, however,
sometimes in action speaks louder than both of them. So
you know, action's louder than worse. But if you don't

(09:03):
do anything, then you're doing something. So Hendrickson is getting
the radio dial treatment, not AM, not FM, not streaming,
not satellite radio. No no, no, he's getting radio silence.
Is what he's getting here. He's being ghosted. He's being
ghost He's thirty years old, and it is pretty obvious

(09:26):
you're not the top priority, dude, You're not You're not
the top priority for the Cincinnati football team. They spent
their their wat of cash. They spent the wad, and
they spent the wad on a couple of wide receivers.
They got paid. You got nothing, Jamar Chase and t
Higgins combined two hundred and seventy six million dollars and

(09:50):
still Bengal management seeing a therapist because they gave out
those contracts. So Cincinnati, it's fair to say they are
focused elsewhere. And when we last the Bengals de facto
spokesperson for ownership, someone named Katie Blackburn, she suggested that
Hendrickson should quote choose to be happy, choose to be

(10:12):
happy with the money that he's making, which is pretty
straightforward to me. It's not any kind of curveball here.
There's no deception. They're not going to pay you what
you want, so you might as well choose to be happy.
If you like Cincinnati, eat the skyline, chilly there, and

(10:32):
just be happy. Prioritizing flexibility, the Bengals. They want that
cap flexibility. That's what they want, that hot yoga flexibility.
They want to pay younger players, and they've already given
out the big contracts. They've got the quarterback, they got
the receivers. That's enough. So this is a story. Second wave,
We've got another. We're sitting here in mid May today,

(10:55):
it's the thirteenth day of May. Training camp is two
months away. There's some more mini camps between now and then.
So this is a story to file away on a
little post it. I'm putting your notes thing on your
phone and keep an eye on it. The trade right
around the corner. Last thing, We head now to the

(11:16):
hotbed of tabloid fodder, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The obligatory
Mallard monologue mentioned for the life and times of Bill Belichick,
the sugar Daddy and his sugar baby. So the former
Patriot coach Bill Belichick has yet to coach a single

(11:36):
game in that Carolina Blue. Not one game yet. We
know that hasn't done anything other than a few practices
with the University of North Carolina football program, and some
now are whispering he will never coach a game at
North Carolina. Say what So there was a story last

(11:58):
week that said his his sugar baby was banned banned
from football operations at North Carolina. The person that had
that report now has another report. This guy named Pablo Torre.
We're not sure who that is. I guess he's some podcaster.
Take a number at the deli counter. Anyway, he's been

(12:19):
on this story and he was asked recently. He was
asked whether or not Bill Belichick, hired as the North
Carolina coach back in December, would still be the head
coach when the tar Hills are scheduled to open up
their season September first against the horn Frogs. Of course,
Bill's just horny. He's not a horn Frog. So the

(12:43):
person that has all this Belichick there, it's like he's
not really optimistic, said there's absolutely a real chance that
Belichick does not does not end up coaching a game
at North Carolina. Now claiming it was a messy situation
before this went public, and now it's getting extra saucy
with the headlines and all that rigamoor involving Jordawn third place,

(13:05):
the bronze winner, Geordan Hudson, and it's just a big
mess soap. Give me the odds. I'm gonna give you
the odds. Give me the odds that Bill Belichick does
not coach even one game in the Atlantic Coast Conference
at North Carolina. So Mallor Sportsbook odds. After minutes of

(13:27):
deliberation on what the perfect odds are, the odds aren't zero.
It's not that he has no chance of not coaching
a game. There could be a medical issue. There could
be a scandal rather than just a personal scandal, something
much more than that. Those stories aside. Mallard Sportsbook odds
plus nineteen hundred. That implies a five percent chance that

(13:51):
Belichick does not coach even one game at North Carolina
because there is a trap door that could open up here.
There's a trap door that could open up and Bill
Belichick the buyout, which is ten million right now, it
drops down to one million on June first, So that
is a date. If you're into this kind of thing

(14:11):
and you're like circling dates on the calendar for random
sporting events, that is a date. Now, remember, back when
Belichick agreed to go to North Carolina, the theory was
that that clause was in the contract, so Belichick would
not leave to go back to the NFL. Well, at
this point, there's no chance that Belichick's going to go

(14:32):
back to the NFL. He's covered in cooties or are
those hickeys, I don't know, but he's not going back
to the NFL right now. So that date changes and
it's like, hey, North Carolina can now come up with
a million bucks and they can get rid of it
and is financially feasible if they want to come up
with the money. However, my position, why would they? Bill

(14:56):
Belichick is the greatest thing that's happened in North Carolina football,
and he's not gonna win a bunch of games and
get the big bowl games and all. That's not gonna happen.
But that's not the point. You didn't hire Bill Belichick
for that. You hired Bill Belichick for the Razmataz. You
hired Belichick for some publicity because your team has historically sucked, right,

(15:19):
So why would you get rid of Belichick? Ride the tide,
even if it's a tsunami. Ride the tide? Right? What
a juxtaposition. My entire life, North Carolina has been nothing
in football. We're not talking about Notre Dame or Southern
cal or Alabama or Michigan or Ohio State. We're not

(15:42):
talking about these big time traditional powers. Obviously. You know
that it is a basketball school, period stop. When it
comes to football, it's like the filler and hot dogs.
It's spam is what. North Carolina's cannon fodder for the
good teams to have someone to play. And now that
Belichick is there, idiots like me are talking about it.

(16:07):
Everyone's talking about this. The tabloids are all over it
North Carolina, not because of any good things in terms
of wins and losses, but they have a they have
a reservation at the big boy table, right think, get
the tabloids involved in this. You know they go from
hot dog filler, from spam and from cannon fodder. Now

(16:30):
in this moment, they're a Ribbi steak and they're they're
the Bazuka. They are the Bazuka at this particular point.
So why don'd you get rid of that? Because you
get rid of Belichick? What are you gonna promote some
assistant no one's ever heard of who cares? You go
back to irrelevance. The only reason I hire Belichick is
for relevance. That's it. You're getting that, you're getting attention.

(16:51):
You want it, You're an attention whorror. You're getting the attention.
That's it. Now. If this story changes and there's some
other taboo story more than just an old dude with
a young woman, which is as old as time, that
story will be it. Anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
You want to come in on any of that, you

uh Morocco fan. That's a Bronco fan. And remember your
comments can and we'll be used against you in the
court of sports radio. As we roll on back to it,

(18:59):
and let me point out that I'd like to now
report NBA injury bingo all but done with Jason Tatum
having his injury in the game last night and reports,
although not official, indicating Tatum is going to be out
for the rest of the playoffs and the likely most

(19:21):
of next season. If not, we did NBA injury bingo
and bing go Chris in the Commonwealth, Chris, and the
Commonwealth has had already one, two, three players who have
missed games with with Tate, we assume Tatum is going

(19:44):
to miss the next game, so that'll be at least one.
Damian Lillard, he had Lillard. He had Chris tops Porzingis,
who's been injured as well for the Celtics. So and
what a bold treategy because Chris just he ran out
of players. He just started picking Celtics and it worked
out for that's not good luck of the draw. Yeah,
he just started picking random selling. So Chris and the Commonwealth.

(20:07):
I know, we still have a couple of rounds to go,
but you look at the players that are left, and
Coop still got a chance with chet Holmgren. He's gonna
get a voodoo doll for chet Holmgren if he misses something.
And we want no one to get hurt. We want
no one. We would be terrible if someone got hurt. Man,
would that suck? Wouldn't that suck? That'd be so bad

(20:28):
if somebody got hurt. Now, I did notice that I
have Steph Curry, so that is you know, that's not
a bad pick by me. I got Curry, but that's
all you can get. Well, yeah, I consider the fact
that the Lakers didn't really do much, Like I feel
like I should get credit for Luca because he's just

(20:49):
smoking hookah. You know, this is the game. I feel
like he kind of missed a game. Did he miss
a game? Maybe he missed a game, maybe he didn't
show up in a game. How about a quarter?

Speaker 3 (20:58):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Well, congratulations, great? We had Manuel and Guardina he had
heard from Manuel and why but Manuel he had? Uh?
Who do you have? James James Harden, Jaylen Brown, Rudy Gobert,
Spider Mitchell Spider Mitchell missed the game, right, didn't he?
Or no, you can hear himself. I guess he's a
game time decision. He's had missed the game. Yeah, he's
a game time decision. So it's a fun game. I enjoyed.

(21:21):
Have you had Draymond Green? How's he doing? He's the
guy that was afraid to talk to the media, so
he sucks. Yeah, Anthony Davis and Kyle Kuzma. That was
an odd pick. Alice Caruso, so you still got Caruso
unless you don't. And Tristan Thompson who doesn't play. So yeah, yeah,

(21:44):
all right, let's go to the phones. Let's sell it
to Kevin, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Kevin, welcome.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Hello sir. So I listened to you a lot, and
I listened to you on the overnight while I'm working
and I'm curious, where are your I don't know what
your sports things are. And I was telling a friend
of mine, I think, well, Ben Miller is not his name,

(22:14):
it's Bill Miller.

Speaker 5 (22:16):
Like I don't even understand all that.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
So, yeah, it's very confusing. It's it's like a Twilight
Zone episode as a whole show, the Twilight Zone.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
Yeah, Jason Tatum, I think it's an achilles. I think
he's done. I think, what what?

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well? What else could it be? People are saying, well,
we're not confirming it's an achilles? What is an what?

Speaker 3 (22:37):
What?

Speaker 1 (22:38):
What else? Is a non cock non contact injury where
you can't walk, you need to be in a wheelchair after, Like,
I don't know anything.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
I thought it was.

Speaker 4 (22:46):
I thought it was obnoxious when they should When the
coach said, oh, they told me it was a lower
body injury, I'm like, are you are you kidding?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah? No, I felt the same way. I like that
You're so comfortable, Kevin. You feel like you can say
the I like that.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
That's good. I almost did.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, yeah you did. You almost said it. And wouldn't
it be more fun? The show would be better if
we could say the F word, wouldn't it? Kevin would
be a lot more enjoy.

Speaker 4 (23:11):
All I would leave it with is this is I
tried to get on Ben's pile of money. I'm gonna
do that one of these times.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'll all right, well, good, well, I will call back
and hopefully do you know basketball than the last I
know that guy did not do very well?

Speaker 4 (23:30):
Shakes Alexander. I knew that one.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, yeah, no, I got you. All right, well good
if you know just a little bit about baseball, basketball,
and football. We don't even do hockey other than the
obvious names in hockey. So all right, well, thank you man.
All right, there you go, go away.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
There's Kevin my old Celtics take was but I think
that with Tatum out, I think they take the next one.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
I actually think.

Speaker 4 (23:51):
They could still come back, but I don't think they
can win a championship without Tatum.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah, they're not coming back there, and they're done forget
about it. Let's say hello to Alameat a Loop by
all these guys licking their wounds here as their teams
are getting punched and riddled and kicked in the balls
and all that. Hello, Alameat a Loop.

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Kicked the ball very uh Draymond Greener reference that was
that was good. Uh, wounded Wounded Warriors fan coming at
you worked the game tonight. Prior to the results tonight,
I was a perfect five to zero at the Kingfish
and I think the magic is kind of running out.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Yeah, it's not not looking particularly good here. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (24:34):
With Steff Perry, I think it's a different series and
that brings a little bit of peace, But does.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
It really does it really give peace to you knowing
that Curry is only going to get older, and every
year that you get older, the more the chances of
you getting hurt go up.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
Yeah, you would know a lot about that.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
I would think I did. I'm a model of health. Man.
Let me tell you I've done. I've done radio with laryngitis,
Uh for like two months, remember Lareena, I'd liked sinus
issue for like two months. Yes, Spen, it was horrid.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
Yeah, but I still did the show for the You're
You're the Rondu Loot cutting off his finger of late night.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Radio bend, I cut off, I cut off a toe
to do talk radio.

Speaker 6 (25:13):
I would I'd cut off a toe to be part
of your talk radio show. You're a Bill Belichick Grant
kind of tickled me. And the reason is I've thought
about this a lot. I mean, this guy has just
had been neutered by the runner up to the runner
up of Miss Maine, and it's disappointing because you have
one of the Titans, the greats of NFL football, and

(25:35):
it just seems like he's unrecognizable now soaching college football
for a mid major major program and all the conjecture
around everything. It's like Diddy Meeter her when she was
seventeen eighteen?

Speaker 7 (25:49):
How did it happen?

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, Now they're saying that she was nineteen. The tabloids
that she was nineteen when they first started talking. How
about that.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Normally, when you look at a seventy something year old
and he's dating a twenty something year old, you kind
of look at it and you go up there living
the dream. But uh, I feel like we're witnessing in
real time one of the greats of North American sports
have their kneecaps cut off.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Yeah, he seems like he's enjoying it though. He's he's
having a good time. He's having a good time with it.
You know, he's yay, Well, didn't she She had to
make the move, right? I don't think do you think Belichick.
There's no way Belichick's going to try to pick up
on her. She had to be she had to have
her claws at him, right.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Oh yeah, come deeper than any clause I've ever been
and built at Belichick before.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
It just goes to.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
Show you that the Justin and Cincinnatis of the world,
the Third Dogs, the Justin Cooper's and maybe we're all
pretty valluable when it comes to any to run her
up with Miss Maine.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
I know, well, that's a great the holiday inn in Portland, Maine,
I believe, is that you can go and see that
beauty pageant.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
All right, Well funny when you're leaving a Southya house
on her Ring camera. Look at him.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Now you wait till Steph Curry's seventy and he's dating
somebody he's not even born yet. But anyway, all right,
thank you, all right, I gotta go there going So.
I got an email from Sledgehammer. He says, I'm listening
to the show I was listening last week. I cannot
be quiet anymore. Blind Scott and Mike the Leprechaun suck.

(27:14):
I wish they would stop calling the show you suck,
says the sledgehammer, blind Scott your thoughts?

Speaker 7 (27:24):
Is there anything else left to that? It's like, bake,
the guy can't even articulate. I bet he could did
that with that typewriter. An email that you do an
l Me to Lose cul was really good until he
compared all these losers to Justin Cooper, Like those guys
can't even light a candle next to Justin Cooper. He's like,
ell me to lose Justin and Cincinnati bird Dog and

(27:45):
it's like, dude, you're talking about like some losers. And
then he names Justin Cooper to try to make it
like they're all cool. You know what I'm saying. I mean,
I'm a big fan of l of Me to Lose
work on the show and everything, and he's a marathon runner.
He's a good guy, and everything gives a good good takes,
you know. The Jordan Hudson thing was a good take
from somebody from the West coast.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
You know.

Speaker 7 (28:06):
But all these people that email you and stuff to
pick up the phone and call. We had terrible calls
in the first and second hour the show. You know,
we have these losers that do their own what.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Are you talking about? We had Charlie flush at toilet
in our two. That was great.

Speaker 7 (28:21):
You shouldn't even be taking that call, dude. So you
we have these guys that do their own radio shows,
like Crying Craig from Rockland. Remember you used to call
into that show. We have the same losers that can't
get women. They literally don't have sex with women. They
do their own radio shows while your show is on
on a Twitter space, nobody's listening. They think they're good
at radio. Dude. The sledge guy that's probably justin in Cincinnati, troll.

(28:45):
But if I was Jason Tatum, this is what I
would do if I was injured before the game. I
drink a couple of Celsier's energy drink, smoke a couple
of joints. I do a couple of lines. I'd take
some steminine hormones.

Speaker 5 (28:56):
You know.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
Yeah, down, I get myself right out on the court. Dude,
I'm gonna buy some radio space.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Took all right, I gotta go. Michael Leprecaun, you've been
called the worst call there next to blind Scott.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Your thoughts, well, I'm I'll make it worse.

Speaker 5 (29:11):
I have a joke, Charlie.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Superhero quit. Superhero saves the world.

Speaker 5 (29:18):
By hanging out in bathrooms.

Speaker 3 (29:25):
What are you there? Blush?

Speaker 1 (29:27):
Gordon Bush Gordon, Okay, thank you.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
I'm very sorry for Jak. He hit a great game
forty two points. Good job Marcel, you picked that win.
But just a little.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Are you now conceding, Michael leprecaun, Are you conceding the
luck of the Irish is run out? That now?

Speaker 3 (29:42):
The it's only yes for sure? I mean they had
some bad locals.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Can you hit the cough button next time you cough?
Can you hit the cough I have a guysh no,
and you have to. You're one hundred percent right, Sledgehammer.
I don't know who you really are, but you said
your name is Sledgehamer.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I'm going to no, no, no, and this is so
I'm going to give a second for you to record
it because you like it and we're getting ready for that.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
Doesn't played. Nothing gets in the system here.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
No, no, I haven't.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Nice Twinkle twinkle big Ben Maryland, make it stop?

Speaker 5 (30:21):
You are kwe a billy star.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Let's go to Mark on the north end. What's going on? Mark? Welcome?

Speaker 5 (30:33):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (30:33):
And you know?

Speaker 5 (30:34):
First off, I want to say I would love to
be the official caller from Boston, because I think I
got way over a lepercawn and blind Scott.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
Well, that's that's some tough competition, man, that is how
do you beat those guys? Holy crap, one of them?

Speaker 5 (30:50):
It's me, the one of them. Uh tour of the
towel on the Celtic ship. I like to be the
first to do so. Talk about adding insult to injury.
Last night the only did blow the fourteen point lead,
but Cadum blows his achilles as well. It's all over.
I mean the next game, it's just formale yourselfish. We're

(31:10):
not going to win it because they suck at home.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah. Well no, he did keep him with their favored
for whatever that's worth, their favorite.

Speaker 5 (31:19):
I don't trust Jalen Brown. I never did, I never will.
I don't know why they gave him that much money,
but I.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Think he got one champion. He did play well in
the playoffs last year. The games were all blowouts and
he did get your championship. But yeah, he's did no good.

Speaker 5 (31:34):
It all falls on him now.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Now you're right, it's on He's making the big money.
This is his opportunity to be the man, and.

Speaker 5 (31:42):
I don't think he can.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah, he didn't play well in the game last night
and they completely fell. They had a fourteen point leader
as you saw you watched the game, they were up
fourteen early in the third quarter, and from that, from
that point to the end of the game, the Nick
shot sixty five percent. I think something like that. It's
crazy to think the.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Majority of that was Jalen Brunson.

Speaker 7 (32:01):
He was unstoppable.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, no, he was great. He had in the second
Abby had twenty six points and he just.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
You can't allow that one person to score that many points.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
He just can't do it.

Speaker 1 (32:13):
Well, they did. So what happened to Drew Holiday?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
And what I mean?

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Hey, nobody could get in front of him anyway? All right.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
I was waiting, Yeah, I was waiting for Pretches to
step up last night, but never happened.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
You're still waiting, all right, I thank you. I gotta go.
Let's go to Mike in New Hampshire. Mike, what's going on? Mike? Welcome?

Speaker 7 (32:31):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Ben matter Blett?

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, there we go back. Yeah, That's what I'm talking about,
that right.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
Yeah. I just wanted to say how much of a
thumb ass that Blind Scott is.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
That guy's a couple of pieces of meat short of
a sandwich.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Well, you've now said that, you've you've said that on
the air, and I'm sure you'll get a response, an
angry response from from blind Scott. I'll be very upset
with you.

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Oh I can't wait for it.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
All right, Well hold us, I'll see if he's still there.
I don't know what you hung up on him? Maybe
I hang up on him, he doesn't hang up? Is
that by you there? Blind sid Mike?

Speaker 7 (33:08):
Mike, let me tell you something. The reason why you're
driving a truck because you're too stupid to shovel a
ditch and you have no brain.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Are your thoughts on that? Mike?

Speaker 5 (33:18):
How much of an idiot you are?

Speaker 4 (33:20):
You? And Fred Tutcher?

Speaker 5 (33:21):
You should probably get his phone number and he can
get a date with him.

Speaker 7 (33:24):
All right, Right, you've got a twenty five share man,
you're driving a truck from New Hampshire. Dude, how does
it feel to live in New Hampshire? Why don't you go?
Milk a cow?

Speaker 1 (33:32):
All right? Milk a cow? Mike?

Speaker 4 (33:34):
He says, Hey, dude, I make six figures.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
What do you make?

Speaker 4 (33:38):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (33:39):
I've got a million?

Speaker 7 (33:39):
Go a condo in the north of the bost of Water.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
You come to live.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
You can't even turn on a light switch.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
He can't sit on a plunger, though he does know
how always maybe Dello. All right, thank you, Mike. Very funny,
very funny. I enjoyed that good shots there, like the
the back and forth. So I'm trying to get into
these games. I don't love the card. I don't love
the card in the in the pro bouncy ball. But
I was looking, I was fussing around on the that

(34:13):
pick six app over DraftKings, and I was like, I'm
gonna have to watch these games tonight, and I'm like,
not that in deit. So I've determined here, here's what
I like on the on the pick sixth, it's real.
So you just go like more or less and all that.
So in honor of Marcel in Brooklyn, I'm going to

(34:35):
take Pascal Siakam and I'm gonna take less than seventeen
and a half points. I will also go over more
on the twenty eight and a half for nikolea Jokic.
He's been terrible the last three games. He'll get a
big stat line tonight. I think he'll bounce back in

(34:58):
that game. So there's a couple of things that I like.
And on that pick six app where you just pick
a couple of things and you go over more or
less and it's all all right there. It is the Ben.
It's on Draftings. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. And
we are moments away from site The Bite, the great
