It's upside down and all around in our numb our
number four.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
And we start out in Indianapolis.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Not not another male monologue about the Pacers going upset
City in Game one of the NBA Finals. No, no, no,
this is about the football team in that town. Are
you intrigued by this? Anthony richardson injury with the Colts?
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Are you intrigued by that?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Also? Is there a chance the Colts tank by playing
Daniel Jones to try to grab the number one pick
and that would mean arch manning, Believe it or not,
we'll discuss that. Also, Please untangle what this message by
Saints coach Kellen Moore is on wide receiver Chris Olave
(00:47):
and his future as he's been in a bunch of
trade rumors. We'll talk about all of those things and
much more. Have a wonderful weekend. And here it is
the Friday Pod, the Fifth Hour with Eddie later today
as well.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
But here it is our number four.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
An unlucky horseshoe or is it welcome? In the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere teammates as we go
with the maximum mileage coast to coast Border, the Border
and beyond on the vast and flamboyantly powerful microphones of
fsre amminating live.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
From the road the end of the Road on the
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Yo Yo mab
Berry in South Carolina. I met him in Charleston at
the Big Mallard Meet and greet we did a while back.
It was a great.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Time back in those days.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
In this portion of the Ben Maler Show, made possible
by Express Employment professionals ready for a new job, Let
Express Employment Professionals help, while Express helps people in all industries.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
All industries fined work.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
As our friend ferg Dog knows and alphas, it reminded
me the sweet spot is logistics rules with Express Employment professionals,
and Express never charges job seekers a fee. They don't
go to expresspros dot com. So our lead this hour
is from Indianapolis. We're not gonna start with the basketball.
There was actually a good game. I say a good game.
(02:30):
The ending was good for most of the game, and
I'll just give a quick couple of quick takes on
this and then we'll move on a couple of quick takes.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
So for most of the game, Oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
City kept Indiana at arms length, and I was like, eh,
Indiana was mathematically in the game, but not really, don't
think that Indiana was actually gonna win. Is because Oklahoma
City was at home and everyone says how great they are.
But the Pacers down fifteen with ninety two to go
(03:01):
in the game, the comeback kids do it again and
Tyrese Haliverton, who has more game winning shots it feels
like than Lebron James has had in his entire career,
just in this playoff run. The Pacers win the story here, though,
and we'll get back to the basketball later. The story
that we want to yap about is not that I
like a good NFL drama ORAMAS.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
So we're gonna go to the world of pro football,
the world of pro football and interesting storyline here. We
learned that the Colts.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
If you didn't see this, the Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson.
What an enigma this guy has been so Anthony Richardson
has a shoulder injury.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
He is now out indefinitely. There are conflicting reports.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Coach Shane Steichen tells us that Richardson aggravated a joint
in his throwing shoulder, which wouldn't be a.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Big deal if he hadn't already had surgery on that
a couple of years ago, so that was in his
rookie season.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
He had season ending surgery in October of twenty twenty three,
and now this has flared up. Richardson will miss next
week's three day mandatory mini camp, and Steichen would not
clarify if Richardson will be available when training camp opens
up next month. Keep in mind, there are conflicting reports,
as I said, some reports say this is nothing, others
(04:21):
saying that this is a big deal, that the operation
didn't work and this is a sign that he's going
to have to have another procedure, and it's his throwing
shoulder and he's porked. So let us discuss the question,
are you intrigued by this Anthony Richardson injury with the Colts?
(04:44):
So my take on this, I've got Babushka, schnazola and
alphabet soup, and we will combine all of these things
together and we are gonna make a banana cream pie.
Because this is a banana cream pie. Right to the
right to the face, all right now, to lead off, obviously,
(05:07):
I'm intrigued by it. I'm talking about it. Why would
I talk about something I'm not intrigued ab by it?
An obviously rhetorical question. Dumb d dam dumb dumb Listen,
Anthony Richardson is everything that's wrong with the NFL draft everything.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Okay, you're just being a shock juck. No trust me.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
This guy had no business being drafted in the first
five or six rounds of the dead maybe a seventh
round pick. And yet these morons with the cults are like, oh,
he's gotta be so good. Anthony Richardson is an eternal
jackpot endless well of heartbreak.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
He was drafted on measurables.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
He could not play the position they drafted him because
he was built like a Greek god coming out of Florida.
Six four to two thirty chisels out of stone. I
deal size for an NFL quarterback, huge upside. These are
you know, if you do real estate, they ever talk
to a realtor and it's like fixer upper, lots of potential.
(06:18):
They use all these dumb terms the same thing in
the NFL. NFL draft cannon for a right arm, limitless potential,
all the buzzwords.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
All the marketing phrases.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Now we know that potential means you haven't done bupkus
all right, because you lose, as the Colts have learned,
you lose with potential, you win with the P word production, right,
And you and I both know that Anthony Richson he
(06:52):
ain't that guy, all right?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Now? What is his one elite skill?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
There is one thing that Anthony riches that is better
than everyone else in the NFL at quarterback.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Do you know what it is? Do you know what
Anthony Richardson's superpower is? You don't, right?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It is gh getting hurt, period, hard stop, period, hard stop.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
This guy gets.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Injured more than a Babushka trying to get off the
couch who's got two bad legs.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Like Richardson, I hope they have a costco deal where
a certain number of MRIs you get a discount. He's
got more MRIs than touchdown passes in his NFL career.
I don't think that's wrong. I'm pretty sure that's right.
Do you imagine having more MRIs than touchdown passes? He
spends more time hanging out in the injury tent than
(07:51):
he does hanging out with the offensive coaches and all
that stuff. And he's not really.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
A quarterback, because a quarterback is good at throwing the ball.
He's not. This guy has been a walking medical report.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
And that brings us now to the pinnacle of this
store as we turn the page here with Anthony Richardson
having a bum shoulder and conflicting reports that he is
so cracked that he's going to be out for an
extended period of time.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
We know he's out at least until training camp, but
likely longer than that.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
So that leaves Daniel Jones keeping up with the Joneses.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Daniel Jones as.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
The Colts starting quarterback during mini camp practice isn't likely
when training camp begins.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So get to the point, please, all right, I'll get
to the point.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
If Anthony Richardson's shoulder is already having issues to really
just not much of any offseason throws, shorts, no pads, shorts,
no pads. He's already having issues. It's mild, it's benign,
it's harmless, and he's having issues during organized team activities,
(09:06):
which appears to be the case. How do you think
it's gonna happen? What's gonna happen for him? I should
say if I could speak, that would help. How's he
gonna go for him when the regular season comes around. Right,
So this has sparked an Illuminati, Illuminati level conspiracy. I
know King Roy's ears are perking up King Roy's like.
(09:29):
I like a good conspiracy. So this is an Illuminati
level conspiracy that the Colts are planning a strategic tanky
mctank all right. They're planning on tanking to try to
secureate a high pick, if not the very top pick
in the twenty twenty six draft, because the quarterback that's
got the most buzz. I know college football is still
(09:52):
months away as well, but it's not the Golden Arches.
It's arch Manning, arch Manning the Texas quarterback that that
is the ultimate target question for the esteem panel.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Is there a chance? Is there a chance.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
That the Colts do tank by playing Daniel Jones or
even if they play Anthony Richardson, but to play those
guys to try to grab the number one overall.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Pick and arch Manning. Do you believe it or not?
Is there a chance?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I buy it?
Speaker 2 (10:27):
I buy it because it's it's a legal tank. What
does that mean?
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I'll explain, it's a legal take the Colts this season.
It is a throwaway season. The owner just drop dead.
Jim Orsay, like within the last couple of weeks died.
And when your owner dies there is a transitional period.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
There's a transitional year.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
So you've got a changing of the guard that the
kids are going to take over, which means they'relikely gonna
nickel in Diamond. Not that Jim Mersey was a huge spender,
but they're gonna nickel in Diamon because it's old money.
It's not new money, it's old money. They're gonna treat
the Colts like an ATM machine.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
That's what kids do.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
If you don't believe me, look at the Raiders, Mark Davis.
You know every second generation owner is not as good
as the first generation owner across the board.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
So the Colts are in a transitional period.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Playing Daniel Jones, or for that matter, playing Anthony Richardson
is a public decree. It is a declaration that you
support the tank and it's right in front of your
big schnazzola right there.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
It would be.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
One thing if the Colts were like, we think we
got a shot this year and a move.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
A few things.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
They didn't really do much of anything that really caught
your attention this offseason, where you're like, oh, that's a
solid move.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
They want to win. They want to win.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But I mentioned this is like right in front of
your nose, your chazola there. Daniel Jones has a bronze
statue in the town square in Stinkville, Stinkville, USA, Big
bronze statue. Danny Dimes. Inconsistency is his consistency. He has
(12:15):
a tendency of making mistakes where when he doesn't make
a mistake, you're shocked. I can't believe it now, even
Anthony Richardson, if this is just a mild injury with
the again conflicting reports, if you play Anthony Richardson, he
doesn't know what he's doing. He was the worst passing
(12:36):
quarterback we have seen as a starter QB one since
the eighties in some stats the seventies in terms of
completion percentage and just the rudimentary.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Elements of playing quarterback.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And if you have a chance, I'm saying there's a
chance to get your hands on Arch Manning. That is
a trip to an island, temptation island. I do not
support tanking. I don't like it, but you look at
Arch Manning. If you're the kids of Jim Mersey. You're like,
if we get arch Manning, we are set up for
the next ten years at least royal football bloodline, royal
(13:17):
football bloodline, marketability, business of football, Golden boy of college football,
the nephew of Peyton, the nephew of Elijah, mister average Manning, Jersey, sales, merchandise, sales,
buzz buzz, all of it all right, now, last thing,
(13:39):
we go now to the Bayou to New Orleans, speaking
of NFL gossip, NFL rumers, NFL rumors, NFL gossip, and
a Saints head coach Kellen Moore.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Kellen Moore explaining the recent.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Uptick in trade chatter regarding the wide receiver Chris lave
by saying, quote, people want good players. Close quote Now
Kellen Moore, who was dispatched from the Cowboys and then
went to the Chargers. It didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Then he went to Philadelphia and he's back being the
golden Boy. So Kellen Moore offered a rambling commentary on
the matter, ultimately saying that the people want good players,
as we said, so they're always chasing to find to
get good players on their team.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
So please, will you untangle what the message is by
Saints coach Kellen Moore on the wide receiver in New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Chris Alave, what this is all about?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Soap? This is a dog whistle mixed in alphabet soup.
It's gobblede gook in the alphabet soup.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's just a.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Bunch of random gibberish from your slack jawb coach. However,
there is a message in there, and the message is
in the dog whistle, which is in the alphabet soup,
which is the gabba, the gobbled.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Goook and all that stuff. It's like, Hey, the Saints, another.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Team not trying to win, another team that's just a
filler team for the other good teams to play. The
reason Chris Olave's name is on the on the trading
bike is because the rest of the NFL smells what
they smell, desperation.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
They smell what else, blood in the water, blood in
the water.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
They're watching the same dysfunction junction that everyone else.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Is that a team that.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Has no quarterback, a rookie head coach, the front office
that is sitting at the kiddie table. And when I
say the kiddie table, if you offer prime rib for
Chris Olave, prime rib they would say.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
No, we don't want your prime rib. We don't need
your prime rib. We're not gonna take your prime rib.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
How about you send us a couple of uncrustable and
some Dino nuggets. That's what we want. We'd like that
and a nice thing of kool aid. Man, would that

Speaker 2 (18:29):
So we began with a hodgepodge hodgepodge of a Mala.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Monologue all about all about the Colts, and at the
beginning there Anthony Richardson and his situation.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Are the Colts tanking?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Internet Illuminati conspiracy theories tanking? They are planning to tank
to get Arch Manning. They want that number one pick
and that Manning blood.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
They need it. They can't go on without it. They
have to have it.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Also, if if no one sees it, did it happen.
Let's get to that right now. A game one, Game
one of the Stanley Cup Final, which we did a
Mallard monologue on and got some good feedback.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Which who knows what that means?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Stanley Cup Final Game number one had how many people watching?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Not many?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Barring and taking away the COVID twenty one seasons. Game
one was the least watched since twenty eight whoa yeah,
that Stanley Cup Game one was the Detroit Red Wings
versus the Pittsburgh Penguins on the Versus Cable network, which
(19:47):
is a cable network I worked at. That's why they
went out of business. I'm pretty sure that's why they
went out of business. But Game one Panthers and Oilers
average two point four million viewers across TNT and True TV.
That is down twenty two from last year. Keep in mind,
the same teams were playing last year, the same teams
(20:08):
were playing last.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Year, And so there you go.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Wednesday's contest the least watched non COVID Game one since
twenty eight and for some of us, twenty eight does
not seem that far in the past. But then you
look at the thing on your phone, You're like, what,
it's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That's seventeen years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's a kid being born and about to get out
of high school.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Ryan in Maine writes In says Anthony Richardson's best skill.
How about pulling himself mid game due to fatigue.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, I could have piled on. I chose to leave
that out, but yeah, that's that's not good.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Bill.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Who's your bill?
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Rights in? Who's your daddy? Who's your bill? Says arch Manning.
Cut the crap, Archie Manning. He played eleven eleven plays
last season.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
He's a freaking kid. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
The NFL and all of sports nepotism, that's what moves
the needle.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
He could suck at Texas and he'll still be drafted
rather high because of the marketing.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
That's why, right, that is it?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Tim the Great Show content contributor says that the Finals
game number one decided by single digits, the first one
since twenty nineteen when Toronto at plus nine back then,
and just the second in the past decade that a
(21:43):
game one of the Finals actually was decided by just
less than ten points, a single digit. As it goes,
we'll take some calls, the koop scoop, and entertainment takes
some calls. We have Jeopardy coming up later this hour,
and let's go to a man right now who guaranteed
that Oklahoma City was going to win.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
And I had people sending me messages, but what.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Were that thunderfin is? Where's that loser? Okay, here's your loser,
Keg drinking Steve from Cansa City.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
I'm still here. The dynasty is delayed by one day,
the ten year dynasty. Man, Why is the NBA keeping
these guys? They're making these series extra longs. So they're
trying to extend these extend Indiana's. You know, we're gonna
run them down with ten or eleven guys. We're gonna
(22:34):
wear them out. No, no big deal, gentlemen. I'm still
sticking to gentlemen's sweep.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I'm not going it's not a gentleman sweep. Hey, if
the team wins the first game, it's not a gentleman sweep.
A gentleman's sweep is when you win the first three
and then you allow the other team to win a.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Game to save face.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
That's a gentleman sweep.
Speaker 6 (22:54):
Okay, well this is the Oklahoma City ten year dynasty
women's gentlemen, sweet listen, this is this is all conspiracy.
Speaker 7 (23:05):
NBA.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
We gotta wait till Sunday to play the next game.
They're they're trying to keep.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
They do this every year. They because no, people don't
watch TV as much on Friday and Saturday. Always NBA
Finals always plays Thursday and Sunday because that's what TV wants.
That's what television wants.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
According to that man. According to you, nobody's walking this
thing anyway. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I agree? I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
They should just play the local high school gym in Tulsa,
and they call it a day. I'm right there with you, man.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
I'm saying, I'm saying, if we played this every night
like a regular NBA series, it would be a modified modified. Gentlemen, sweet,
don't be surprised when the thunder blow these guys out
the next the next board games. I'm not worried at all.
This is gonna be the beginning of a decade long dynasty.
(24:01):
I'm not moving off. I'm not moving.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Off this, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
And even when they lose, even when they lose, you
will still be saying that you've already You've already got
your excuse laid out now. Robbie the Mariner fan says
that this is all an act. He says that you're
actually a lawyer, and that you've called on the weekends
and you claim to be a lawyer.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Is that accurate? Are you doing an act? Is this performance?
Speaker 6 (24:27):
Are? No? No, I'm a I'm a I'm just a
simple country lawyer. And I and I like my I
like my like my rocket fuel on the weekends and
then during the week unwined, and then then I will

a Hoosier fan, He's an Indiana Pacer fan. He says,
I can tell already, this high pitched fool, where's underwear
with blank blank in them?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
Your thoughts Alcahoma City thunder underwear? Man, I don't. I
can't figure out why the why the NBA wants wants
to wants to make it so difficult for us to
be dominant and win. They're not.

You'll have to go, right.
Speaker 8 (27:04):
Yeah, it's insane.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
The building, the stadium smaller than the old ones, so
fewer people are going to be able to go, and
the ticket prices the way they're they're doing these new
seats now, it's it's insane.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
No, I agree with you, Dan, it's you know, the
sports you know.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
I don't know how old you are, but when I
was growing up, it was like a mom and pop
business and and all that.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
And then over the years.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
It's all about the corporate dollars and trying to squeeze
as much money as they can, and it's a TV show.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
And and all that.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
I love the fact that the Luxury Box started because
the Chicago White Sox had to pay chet Lemon and
so they just put people in this old football press
box in Chicago at Kmiski Park and that was the
birth of what became the Skybox or the Luxury Box.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
And it's just like, that's your team. By the way, Mark,
you're a White Sox fan. Mark.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
My Mark's in tonight. By the way, it's your team, Mark,
so I I blame Westwoods.
Speaker 8 (28:01):
Yeah, but great, great show. I love listening guys every day.
Speaker 7 (28:07):
Great jobs.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
All right, the great Dan in the Flower City there
now back in the day that was the Flower City.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Blind Scott is next, Hello, Blind Scott who was just
mentioned there? Blind Scott in the.
Speaker 7 (28:21):
We are of an Indiana focused market right now. In Indiana,
they have this blind baseball team, the Indiana Thunder. They
cheat them, they steal all the good players from all
the other blind baseball teams in the United States and
put them on their team to make an all star team,
so they win the Blind Baseball World Series every year.
So I hope a lot of these blind losers are
listening in Indiana right now. You guys are a bunch
(28:42):
of frauds. You cheat in blind baseball. You guys suck
at blind baseball. You have to get guys from five
states away to play on your blind baseball team every year,
and you win every year, and you're ruining the Blind
Baseball League. The Major League of Blind Baseball hates you
guys because they can't control you guys from stuff in
your team with players that aren't even blind.
Speaker 10 (29:02):
Yeah yeah, okay, So so I was gonna ask you, Scott,
So you're saying that there are people that are ringers
that can see, that are playing blind, like they're doing
the Stevie Wonder thing where there they can see.
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Wear a blindfold. You know, you wear a blindfold, so
you actually are blind, but they're able to watch video
tape on how to hit the ball because you hit
it with the blindfold on. So if you can watch videotape,
you have an advantage over everybody else in the whole league,
you know, Rochester.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
How is that possible?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That would be like playing wheelchair basketball but being able
to you know, watch because.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Blindness, because blindness is on a spectrum. This legally blind
people like I made I made a virus to the
high school hockey team, legally blind, you know what I'm saying.
So you could see, like Fred Toucher's grandfather was blind
and he could see a little bit like a time,
a little bit out of a small little like if
you can see that to watch video, you're the best
blind baseball player ever. And there's no rules against that,
(29:54):
and there really shouldn't be. But you shouldn't go.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
This is this is an outrage. This is I mean,
this is so Tony Bruno say, it's an outrage.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
My god. All right, I gotta go, thank you. Let's
go on.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Let's go to Marcel and Brooklyn. Marcel and Brooklyn the Dynasty.
What a night, Marcel, welcome. You want to be the
big voiceover guy and do the introduction. Who is your
player of the night, Bob Marcel. Before we get to that,
who is your player?
Speaker 11 (30:15):
Pop calc accam from the Pacers come up with that
in Game one last night against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
In Game one of the NBA Finals, Game two is
on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I think, I mean that's that is true.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
We just talked about that. It's on Sunday night. You
start on Sunday. But yeah, I think he's at I
think it's at seven thirty or something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I don't know who knows whatever. It's on Sunday.
Speaker 9 (30:44):
In Oklahoma City count I don't think that starts right
now here. It's justin Cooper at OROPO fan on x here.
He is on the ones and twos. Take it away.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
Thank you, Marcel. I appreciate that.
Speaker 9 (30:59):
I again talking so you win before you go to
the entertainment side. Who's gonna win in Game two of
the NBA Finals on Sunday, Pacers or Thunder.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
He's asking for a take.
Speaker 12 (31:14):
I would like it to be the Pacers, but I
think it'll probably be the Thunder.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
In Game two.
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Oh go luck with that. It could be a tide.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Okay, you're taking time. You're taking time, Mark.
Speaker 4 (31:27):
All right.
Speaker 12 (31:28):
So we're gonna start off in the theaters this week,
and and there's a couple of exciting movies premiering this weekend.
Speaker 8 (31:35):
Uh.
Speaker 12 (31:35):
The first one is called Ballerina, and this is actually
a John Wick spin off movie that stars uh Anna
de Armas, who is.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Great beautiful actress.
Speaker 12 (31:49):
Keanu Reeves will appear in the movie, as well as
other characters from the John Wicks series such as Ian McShane,
uh and Lance Reddick and uh and so apparently Norman
Retis is going to be in this movie of the
Walking Dead fame. But this one has a pretty good
review so far, so check that out. Nice action movie
in theaters this weekend called ball Arena. Also in theaters
(32:13):
this weekend is well, it's been out for a week already,
but it's been the limited release, and so this weekend
you get the full available everywhere release of Wes Anderson's
newest movie called The Phoenician Scheme, and this one stars
Michael Sarah as well as Benicio del Toro, Riz Ahmed,
(32:36):
Tom Hanks makes an appearance, Brian Cranston, and a bunch
of other names, as many big names normally do in
Wes Anderson movies. The only description I have for you
is the story of a family and a family business.
It's not not much of a description, but that is
available in theaters. Right now, moving over to television, we
(32:59):
have a couple of things that I want to mention. First,
this is interesting. I'm intrigued, but I'm not sure how
this is gonna go. It is a live special in
a first for CNN. It's called good Night and good Luck,
and this stars George Clooney. And it is a live
(33:19):
stream of a Broadway performance where we don't need that.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, I mean no, I mean the whole point of
the Broadway thing is to go to a theater. That's
the whole point.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Not I mean, I guess.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I mean you're one of those small seats in some
old theater in Manhattan that's with the whole experience.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
Yeah, he is. This is the one where he is
playing God. What is the Edward R. Murrow? George Clooney
is playing him in this Broadway show.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But that I've heard of him. Yeah, media media legend.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
That's right.
Speaker 12 (33:56):
But if you are, if you do happen to be
interested in watching this, it streams live on CNN at
seven pm Eastern four pm Pacific on Saturday. It will
also be available to stream on HBO Max and last
but not least, if you're a big fan of the
Predator movies. There is a new one of this one
(34:18):
is called Predator Killer of Killers. It is a straight
to Hulu movie and it is a anthology with a
trio of segments, each following a powerful warrior of Viking,
a Ninja, and a w a World War two pilot
as they are targeted by your favorite extraterrestrial predators.
Speaker 4 (34:39):
And that is Koopscoob Entertainment.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
