Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number one, our one of
the podcast we recorded this overnight, the Ben Malors Show
podcast from the radio show limited commercial eruption. We thank
you for supporting the show. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are my favorite person. So here in our number one,
(00:21):
the Suns and Nuggets Game number five. What the heck
went wrong for the Suns in this one as the
Nuggets went turbotastic in the third quarter? How come the
secondary actors for Phoenix have vanished or at least a
key points in this game? And is there a map
(00:43):
an escape map out of the abyss for the Sons
who are on the brink of elimination. Will discuss that
as well. Here it is our number one, a rocky
mountain high if you will welme in the beginning of
another edition the Ben Balor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
As we flock together taking care of your trashy sports
radio needs coast to coast, border.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
On the vast and monolithically powerful microphones of FS are
emmundating live from under the moonlight. We are camouflaged by
the darkness as we are broadcasting live from the Tyraq
dot com studios.

Tireract dot com the way tirebind shoe meet. So our
lead this hour, coming from the Mile High City, we
have a basketball palosa. It's the time of the year,
(02:00):
the obligatory NBA themed Mallard monologues every night. Now, once
we get past the conference semi finals, we will be
down to just one of these a night. I think
I think they'll alternate east west, but I might be wrong.
So the Suns, the game that we're gonna talk about
(02:20):
right here, the game that ended most recently before we
cracked the microphones, the very powerful microphones here at FSR.
And we're gonna start with the Suns traveling road show,
the circus traveling to Denver to visit the Nuggets Western
Conference semi finals to toet tied up their pivot point game.
(02:42):
Oh it's a pivot point game. That's so exciting. Nless
it's not. Maybe not if you don't you're not a
fan of Denver or Phoenix, probably not. But don't worry,
we watched. We got you covered on that we were
checking it out. So it's our good mitzvah of the day.
And Nicola Jochus, you think he sucked it at time,
you cannot suck.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, he filled up the score sheet with a little
bit of this and a little bit of that.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Twenty nine points, thirteen rebounds and twelve assists as we
call that back in the old country, we call that
a triple double. He's in fact passed Wilt Chamberlain by
for the most triple doubles by a center. Of course,
keep in mind, for most of NBA history, centers did
not even try to pass. So it's one of those
(03:29):
fugazi stats that we've come up with with the modern
era because Shaquille O'Neal a kim Elijah on Patrick Ewing.
You think of some of the great centers back in
the old days, and they didn't even attempt to pass.
Rarely did they attempt to pass. And so Jokishow triple double.
The Sun's overwhelmed by the Nuggets in the third quarter.
(03:51):
It was the first quarter, and then Phoenix came back
and then the third quarter domination. Turn out the lights,
the parties over, so three to two, the Nuggets have
the lead. They have the brief stranglehold on the series.
Game six way back in the Valley of the Sun
coming up later in the week. But the better story
(04:13):
is on that side, the team that walks out.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
With their tail between their legs, the losers. We love losers.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
We love losers, and so let us discuss the question
what the heck went sideways for the Suns in this game.
So I've got overdosed bell hop and arithmetic, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a nice migraine headache, which I would think,
(04:45):
if they care, the Suns would have right now. So, ay,
some things are not that difficult to analyze and break down,
and this is one of those things. It's an Okham's
razor situation. The simple answer is the correct answer is
the right answer. You go with that answer. So Phoenix
(05:06):
was caught flat footed here at the beginning of the game.
They then got back in the game, and then the
Nuggets stepped on their neck. They stepped on the gas.
In the third quarter. They came out more energized, and
it was was kind of like a drag race. I
used to you know, back in the day. These step
are these things called drag races, and you had one
car that was the Lamborghini, and that would be Denver.
(05:30):
They were driving the nice cherry red Lamborghini. And then
on the other side you had Phoenix and they had
an old school throwback vehicle. They had a horse and buggy,
And that's what it looked like in the third quarter,
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant getting whiplash after halftime, the
Nuggets peeling rubber in that third quarter there as the
(05:52):
Sons were left at the starting blocks dazed and confused,
and they played in the in the first eight or
nine minutes of the third court. By the time by
the time they figured things out, it was done, but
good night. But they played like they had overdosed Phoenix
on melatonin, that they were double fisting melatonin at halftime. Man,
(06:15):
they had that sleepy look to them, wowsers, And it
became at that point it became a dogpile. As it's
kind of like when you're trying to do the dishes,
the dirty dishes, and people are still eating and they're
putting dishes and forks and spoons and cups in the sink,
and you're like, I'm trying to wash. I'm a dish
washer at my house and I try to do the
(06:35):
dish and then so you keep putting more dishes in.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It's annoying. I'm trying to get ahead of the dishes
and you can't get ahead of it. And then the.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Trench opened up. Devin Booker one of eight in the
third quarter while the walls were caving, and now Kevin
Durant was three of three into some people. That was
a great performance. You can't rip dur in the third
quarter when things went upside down in topsy Turvy. But
I would argue he was too passive. He needed to
be more aggressive and he was a liability defensively in that.
(07:05):
With a wink and a nod. Also to DeAndre Ayton,
who is auditioning for a role in a elementary school play.
He will be playing the statue of Liberty. DeAndre Ayton,
shouldn't you be able to slow down Nikolijokic a little bit.
I mean, Ayton I thought was number one pick, you know,
(07:27):
old steroid guy back in the day and all that.
But DeAndre Ayton wowsers nothing in that third quarter. Nikoliokic
seventeen of his twenty nine points in the third quarter,
and that was a body blow. Body blow anyways, im
mortal blow is what it was for Phoenix. And late
in the third court we also saw some classic NBA
(07:47):
theatrics during the Sun's huddle. Bruce Brown came over there
to the huddle from Denver and he was like a
spot because they were huddling up on the court. It
was like an impromptu meet and greet and that did
not go over well as it led to some pushing
(08:07):
and shoving, and Durant pushed Nikola Yokich, who acted like
he had been given the atomic elbow when he went
flying back, and Durant did show more effort and energy
though in that exchange than he did on defense in
that stretch of the game. Now page two here when
the game was close, When the game was close between
(08:30):
Phoenix and Denver, the Sun's backups were non factors. Landry
sham it. You can't sham it all day, you can't
sham it all night. Oh for three through three quarters
with one point. This is the guy that went bonkers
in the last game and was the difference maker, outplayed
everybody on the court. Back in the last game in Arizona,
(08:52):
in this game, oh for three when the game was
somewhat competitive through three quarters, and the Phoenix bench they
statistically they put some points up in garbage time, but
there were no real impact performances there. And so how
come the secondary actors mostly vanished for Phoenix. So I
(09:13):
have a theory on this. I blame the bell hop
I blame the bell hoppy. These supporting actors suffer from aerophobia.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
They have a.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Fear of flying. And we've seen this my entire life.
They hate the take off and the landing. Other than that,
they don't mind traveling. And I remember years ago, when
I was a young pup and I was out around
the NBA, there was this Hall of Fame coach. You
have no idea who this guy is named Bill Fitch.
He coached the Celtics and the Rockets, and later on,
at the end of his career, coached the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And that's when I knew him.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And we were talking about some of the secondary players
and how they played pretty well at home and they
go on the road and they didn't play that well,
and his line and I don't remember exactly and I
can't ask him.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He passed away not that long ago. But Bill Fitch, he.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Said, of the players that play well at home and
then they go on the road, they're.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Lounge singers, he said.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And he said, that's the way it's supposed to be,
because if they played well at home and on the road,
they would not be backups. They would be starters, and
they would be like the baritone singer. They'd be the
baritone boss, if you will. But such as life, right,
and so the stars have to carry the way on
the road and all that. And Devin Booker was not
good enough. Kevin Durant was not good enough. They got
(10:31):
some numbers, but they didn't get good enough numbers, and
when the game was in the balance, they did not
make enough plays. All right, last word here, So is
there a map out? Is there a map? Can you
type in an address into the GPS to get out
of the deficit.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
For the Suns.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So he turned to a trustee tool, the Malard scale
of panic, which is one to ten. The Maller scale
of is one to ten, with ten being you have
become vaporized. That would be a ten. So the guys
in Arizona are at a nine. They're at a nine
on the mallardscale of panic. Now there is a map.
(11:14):
But here's the problem. The map is it's a faded
and b it's missing, like a chunk of the map
like and you don't know whether to go right or left.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
There's like a fork in the road. You don't know
which way to go.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
However, if you if you look at this Landry Sham,
it's gonna play better in game six.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
There's a shot Chris Paul comes back. Whoopee damn do.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And the problem is the arithmetic. There's some as a
former president said back in the day, there's some fuzzy
math here because the Suns the way I and maybe
I'm wrong on this, I just do the opennight shore.
But I believe the Sons have to win a game
in Colorado to advance, so the way they've played in Denver,
I have no evidence. Now that's what has happened. It
(11:58):
doesn't guarantee its gonna happen again, but based on what
has happened, there's no evidence that that is close to happening.
And as far as the temperature for Nikola Jokic and
the Nuggets, all the vitals are normal. Everything is good.
Things are bright and breezy and wonderful and great. It's
(12:19):
rainbows and unicorns and puppy dogs and kittens and all that.
Right now, sunny days are here again, and Denver has
been able to keep the Suns at bay in these
home games. And if they just do that, they can win.
And if they do that in the Western Finals, they'll
go to the NBA Finals. And if they do that
in the NBA Finals, well they might depending who they play,
(12:42):
they might have home court in the NBA Finals too.
So not a lot of stress, right, I just win
at home.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's not your home court advantage, just winning home. So
not like the there's no bubble. You don't have a bubble.
There's no bubble. Right. It is the Ben Mahlor Show,
and we're doing the overnights here. So management likes to
have me take calls. Against my judgment, we will open
up the phone lines here. I guess better judgment. And
if you want to be part, you don't need to
Please don't call. If you have nothing to say, we
(13:07):
don't need that. I got plenty of stuff to talk about.
We do not need your phone call. But if you
have something to say, you think people actually want to
hear what you have to say God forbid. People just
like you that are up late doing whatever they're doing, working,
have insomnia, whatever brings you to the show. We have
eclectic mix of people that listen, people making donuts, good guys,
(13:27):
bad guys, police, criminals, you name it. We had a
little bit of everything here on the Overnight eight seven,

Boston Celtics, if they lose one more game, that job

Speaker 1 (15:34):
If he had any resume, he's a nobody, like Joel
Missoula is a nobody.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Right, if you had a resume, it's okay. You give
another chance. Guys like that. They don't give him any chances.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
You know, if you blew the game, you call time
out twice at the any other game. This game, the
Celtics didn't even show up in the freaking game anyway.
All right, we will take your calls. But big news here, Eddie.
I don't know if you noticed when you walked into
the building. I I'm a man of pop. I am
a man of influence. When I say something, this company responds, No,
(16:06):
that's not true.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That is true, Eddie, what happened?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I have as much power as Colin Coward or Dan Patrick,
those other big j time guys.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
You know you're speaking a lot of crap.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No, I'm not, No, I'm not. I What did I
complain about last night?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's right? What is working now? The ice? Ice? Baby, Eddie,
I am responsible me. I'm taking credit for that.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I complain on the air, and management fix the ice machine.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Let their be ice, Let there be ice. I said.
Every one of these employees should take me.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
No one else can plain I two days in a row,
no ice, two days in a row, no ice.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Well, but you've complained about a lot of things over
the years, and usually nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, Now it's different, Eddie, now that we're in
the new because we're in the old studio where Limbaugh
and Steve Harvey worked out of.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So now we have power. That's true. Don't look at
me like that.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I am looking at you. Don't look at me like
a Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
This was a hat sending by one of our fine
listeners in Arkansas who said, you know what, I love
the Razorbacks. Had a lot of people think it's an
Alabama hat. You knew it was an Arkansas. I know
what an Alabama hat looks like. And you're wearing you've
changed up. You're wearing a pirate hat, but you have
a different pirate hat. This was like my listener as well,
Oh that's I like that. That's a good that's a
better looking pirate hat than the other one. That's old school.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's like that. That's like Roberto Clemente like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Roberto Flores and I were talking about how this is like,
this is the best thing I've ever been sent in
my twenty years here by listener who sent that. I
don't remember.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh wow, I mean this was sent by this I mean, come.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
On, whoever you are that sent this gold black and
gold pirate hat.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
There was about here. It was about two years. I
think it's because of COVID. People were sick of like everything,
and they just like we're sending hats and stuff like that.
Completely shut down none of that lately. But Roberto's got
and some not hats, but listeners have been very kind.
Supposed to get something else in the.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Mail, right, Roberto the fried fried daddy hook.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yeah, he's getting some uh some grilling stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, I don't know what did we say? Frier air fryer? Yeah,
everybody in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Well that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's cool man.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I can't wait to get that.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
There you go, don't you you have one of those?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Right? I do? I love the air fier.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
It's healthier for you.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't care about that.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's it's easy to use, and it tastes it tastes
like it's deep fried. It's pretty it's like a rip
off of deep fried. So that's clean to do, right, Yeah,
people say it's it's healthier.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I don't know what's your favorite thing to cook in
the air fryer or the Yeah, the air fryer.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Well, you can get the rip well chicken fingers. But
you can get the rip off Chick fil A sandwich
from Costco, which in the air fry tastes just like
Chick fil A, but it's like a third of the cost.
And I make fries in there.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, pretty good, it's not bad. You don't use the
air fer I don't have one. You know, how do
you not have an air fryer?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
I don't cook.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, my wife carks, you're more masculin than me.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I cook all the I don't have an air frare.
I'm like miss Sunshine. I bake cookies, cakes, you name it. Man,

to that crumble cookie place?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know? Yes? Really good? Right? Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So my wife got me one of those, and then
she told me how much it costs, and I almost
I died of a heart attack. So I found it.
So I found a ripoff recipe. I found a ripoff
recipe which is almost exact. I mean it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The key is the frost. You gotta make the frost.
So that's the that's the key to that.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
You ever made snickerdoodles, I'm a big SnO.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I have made my that's my time favorite cookie.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Maybe feeling like it, maybe I'll make some and Roberto
snickerdoo sure' that's not his favorite cooking. Roberto st there's
cinnamon in it.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Was gonna say, you have to like it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He likes black. He likes black pepper more. Yeah, he
likes that.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
True.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
He's a cheer okie. There is a chure O cookie

Speaker 1 (20:32):
So the ice machine, I'd like to alert all the affiliates.
The ice machine is working, so if you need anything.
I'm the man that wields the power in the building.
Now and finally, how many years I've been here now
twenty three years or something like that. Finally, Eddie, finally
here we are power. Thank you took twenty three years
(20:53):
overnight sensation clearly. All right, let's go to the phones
and we'll say hello to Michael, who is hanging out
in Maine. Hello, Michael, you are on the big radio
show Welcome Hello.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Hello? Can you hear me now?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes, yes, that's why I said your name. Yes, I
can hear you?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
All right, first time call her? How are you doing to.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Be welcome and thank you? I am fine? What's going on?
Speaker 7 (21:20):
So you kind of me to it? I was gonna
ask you a question. Uh, so, do you truly think
that Missilla's gone next year? Considering they just hired him?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What's what's the reason to keep him? He's a nobody's
a no resume.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
He's this is one of the most embarrassing performances.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And I don't think coaching matters that much in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But but what he's done, I mean, he's getting out
coached by Doc Rivers.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Doc Efan Rivers.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
You you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
That's a war crime. There should be a war tribunal
Doc Rivers, Doc. He's making Doc Rivers look like a genius.
That's not possible. I don't think that was possible.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
No, with with him, what's the deal with him only
playing Grant Williams eight minutes and Robert Williams eighteen? Uh,
it's management with all year long isn't this what you
try to do for for the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
This is my point, Michael. It's a scam. Load management
is a scam, Michael.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's a scam being played on the fans of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I see listen, I feel my pain, Mike. I'm
a Clipper fan.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
They rested Kawhi Leonard and Paul George so they'd be
healthy in the playoffs, so they could sit on the
bench like tweedl ed and tweedled dumb and and so
they got eliminated from the playoffs. So this it's play
your guys, Come on right, Michael, play the guy who
would you like to see if the Celtics do lose here?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I don't think it's a I don't think it's a guarantee,
by the way, Michael, that they will lose the next
two games, because.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
You know, I believe they're gonna lose their next game
as well. I I truly be these na.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You don't understand that. The doc rivers factors, so you
can still kick in at any point here. But anyway
they play, you stop resting everyone. It's ridiculous, you know.
The rare, rare and appropriate. I'm fine with that, but
I'm confused by the Celtics. I'll tell you why I was.
I was under the understanding that they're all analytically driven
in the front office and all that, but like some
(23:15):
of the stuff they do is not analytics.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's like a little bit of a list. And then
I don't know, it seems confusing what they're what they're
up to. I don't get it.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So yeah, Boston, Sam, but hey go red socks.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Right there you go. That's all you got left. That's it.
That's all all right, thank you going all right?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Thanks for moogie.

Yes.

Hey, it's Ben, host of The Fifth Hour with Ben
Maller along with my trustee sidekick David Gascon. Would mean
a lot to have you join us on our weekly

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Well, you know another older coach has passed away something
that means something to me and you probably Ben, But
Denny Crumb passing away, the former Louisville Cardinal Greats led them.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
To a couple dress coach Denny Crumb.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, and I did see this from our friend Justin
in Cincinnati, who who pointed out that TMZ did a
well a Justin in Cincinnati move, you could call it.
They reported on the death of Denny Crumb. But they
used a picture of Dean Smith in their little bio
there a little oh bit, I guess you would call it.
(24:52):
Dean Smith's been dead for many years now. I will
say this about the photo. Denny Crumb actually is in
the foreground. But yeah, you wouldn't really know that because
it's like it's like the side of his head talking
to Dean Smith. Somebody must have googled Denny Crumb and
saw that picture.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And no, no, no, yeah, So what I think back at
theory on this, So the the hipsters over their teams. Yeah,
they're in the South Bay now and they're not in
Hollywood anymore. They move because Harvey Levin lives in the
South Bay and so they want to they want to
be close to there. So they're right down the street
from where Harvey lives. But they hire these hipsters and
so they type in because they have to pay for
the photo. So they type in Getty Images or whatever,
(25:27):
Danny Crumb. And since, as you said, he was in
the photo that came up, they have no idea who
Denny Crumb is. They have no idea who Dean Smith is.
So they're like, boom, there we go. It's a great
It is a good photo of the Dean Dome. Yeah,
Dean Smith, a solid photo.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
So Denny Crumb eighty six years old, Hall of Fame
coach passing away. There you go, and was born apparently
very close to here. I was just looking on his
wiki ped thing was born in San Fernando, California.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh yeah, we are in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
In Los Angeles where we do the show from.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And are you very exciting?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
And my fun fact of the already what happened? Let's see,
were you watching the Phillies game. You were not watching
the game?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
They were doing the wave at Citizens Bank Park? What
did the Philly fans do while the wave was going on?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Eddie? What do you think they were doing?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Who were they playing?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, you just gave the scores. They were playing the
Blue Jes. They were playing the Blues.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
They were chanting Blue Jays suck while they were doing
the wave.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, it was raining down Wieners. Uh, it was a
hot dog they were somehow early season hot dog promotion.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But there's a great video clip that somebody sent me
of and it doesn't really work on radio because you
can't see it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
So who cares? But they're they're they're painting the crowd.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They're doing the wave and there are hot dogs flying
from the upper decks down to the lower decks and
people are tossing them around as they're doing the way
like they're doing this and they're they're putting their arms
up and tossing hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
They put their arms up and beautiful, beautiful scene there.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
So this happened already twice, right, I mean, this happened
many times in Philadelphia. They just don't care at the
fans little stuff on the field.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Well, as long as they pay for the hot dogs,
they don't really care. And they were mostly throwing it
at other fans.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
They were tucking because you remember back in the nineties
and Dodger stadiumhen they gave away the baseball.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Baseball, Oh my god, that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was playing the card I was. I covered that game.
That was that game in and in a forfeit. The
last time they ever gave out baseball.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Dodger after the game, right, don't they give them?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, they don't. They don't give you the baseballs anymore.
And it was so funny. I'll never forget. I was
a kid and I walked into the Cardinals locker room
and they had an outfielder named Brian Jordan who also
played in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
He thought that was the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He had the biggest smile on his face as he
can run off the field from the outfield because it
was the raining down baseballs And it was because Tommy
the sort of came out and incited the crowd and
there was an bunch. There was a controversial call. I
think Tom Henkey was the closer for the Cardinals at
that point. And yeah, so the Sorda got all upset
(28:12):
and Tommy used to do the wattle and he would
do the he would do the wattle off the field
and he would like there his arms in the air,
and of course the fans then knew what to do
and they, uh, yeah, that was That was a great night.
That was my favorite. That in the Fernando to Tist
two Grand Slams. Also the Cardinals and Dodgers, two of
my favorite baseball memories. Let's go back to the phones
(28:34):
and Meenie miney mode. Let's go to Mike who was
hanging out in the Bay Area. Mike, what's going on?
You were on the Ben Mathers Show. And by the way,
that switcher room. Mike, you probably know about this, but
the A's have already changed plans. They're gonna still move
to Vegas, but now they're going to the middle of
the strip, the Tropicana Hotel and Resort.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, you're gonna tear that thing down. No, I don't
like that.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
That's why because that's one of the last hotels that
is free parking on the strip, the Tropicana.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Why would you want to go to the Tropicana anyway
to park for free?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't want to pay twenty or forty bucks to
park they've got They've got wheelchairs just ready at the entrance.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, that doesn't matter. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I might need one someday, so I'd rather go to
the Tropican but I by anyway. So they're building a
ballpark right there. It's not gonna be very big, but
that's right in the middle of the strip. And if
you've never been to Vegas, I mean that is right there,
which does not make Mike very happy.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Mike, what's going on? Mike?
Speaker 5 (29:29):
No, it makes me excited as hell?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Nomadic tribe?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
But nomadic tribe, man, it's okay with me.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I grew up.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Rooting for the Oakland A's but knowing about the Philadelphia
and Kansas City as.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Let's go Las Vegas as who cares?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, then you don't care. Then you're fine. You're like,
you just have to travel the games.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Who cares? He doesn't give a crap. You're a rich guy,
you got money. Who cares?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I have no money, but paying you know, season tickets
in the family, the whole bing.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But you know, the city doesn't support it.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
So I don't care about where we're gonna be the.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Las Vegas things.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
I'll do two weekends a season on a great time.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's a good it's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I'm not okay, all right, that's that's an interesting that's
an interesting take.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
That's a wild take. You can say that. I mean,
you know you're on the.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Radio watch you gotta wash you gotta wash your mouth
out with soap and water.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Now, I take your mind.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You guys seem like a good caller. We had to
blow them up though. We got rules, so you can't.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Say that word.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
You know what, Ben, I've thought about it a little
bit more, and I actually I don't know. That's that's
probably not a great thing because the traffic's bad enough
on the strip, you think, and then this is just
gonna be insane.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
You think they're gonna lower the prices of parking or
raise the prices of parking now that the A's are
gonna build the ballpark there?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
What do you think is gonna happen? Everything?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I mean, I get, I get free parking, so well, yeah,
you lose your ass in Vegas. They give you free parking,
but I win, so they don't give me free parking
because I win.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm a winner. I win when I game unless I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Right, eight seven seven ninety nine fives And the bad
news for the NBA marketing Army. The NBA Draft Lottery
is a week next week, next Tuesday, so a week
from this past Tuesday here as this is our Wednesday show,
and it is all about Victor Wembanyama, the Parisian prodigy.
So they've got the lottery coming up, and he is
going to miss the draft lottery.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Not gonna be.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
They're gonna miss the NBA Draft Combine because he's playing
in France and so there's a French League games he
has to play.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So he said, screw.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
You, NBA, I am not going. I am not going
to your little lottery party. So I'm assuming they'll get
him on satellite from somewhere and they'll have him on
and kiss his ass and say how wonderful he is.
But I just simulated the lottery here on tankapon dot com,
my favorite tank website if you're a fan of tanking,
(32:00):
and I'm a simulator right.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Now, Oh, look at this.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
The winner of the lottery, according to tankafon never wrong.
The Washington whatever they're called, these were called the Bullets,
but now they're called the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
So there you moved up seven spots. That's let me
do it again. No, Houstedon, you got the Parisian prodigy. Hi'standon.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Will the NBA do an NHL and rig the lottery
for a marquee franchise?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Well? Who would that? You say, Who's in the lottery
that's a glamour? I'd say the Pistons, Hot Houston or Detroit?
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Okay, So the answer is they will. They'll let it
be on the up and out because there's no big
market that's gonna benefit from this, so they'll let it
play out.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Well, Chicago is in there, but they have very the
mathematics on the Chicago would have.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
They have the lowest odds.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
They can't make it too obvious.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, I'd say from a marketing standpoint, Houston's had some
good teams, Detroit the Pistons.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
Eddie? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:46):
Is it? Former Selt the Great Jerry ceasting.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Jerry seasting a fine name, but that is incorrect Eddie.
The last time a white guy other than Alas Caruso
was named first team All Defensive in the NBA was
a guy named Don Busey in nineteen for the Phoenix Suns.
He actually tied Michael Ray Richardson. John Stockton did make
(37:09):
the All NBA second team, but he did not ever
make a first team All defensive unit. So it's been
forty years. Do you know the last prominent white defensive
back in the NFL A Jason Seahorn.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Yeah he worked here. Were you here when he worked here?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:23):
I don't remember him.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Actually he worked here for like a couple of months.
And then he is, I don't need this. I made
a lot of money. Why am I working here? I
don't need exactly. I screw you guys. You're a bunch
of losers. I'm not working here anyway.

Hello and welcome. It's our number one, our one of
the podcast we recorded this overnight, the Ben Malors Show
podcast from the radio show limited commercial eruption. We thank
you for supporting the show. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
You are my favorite person. So here in our number one,
(00:21):
the Suns and Nuggets Game number five. What the heck
went wrong for the Suns in this one as the
Nuggets went turbotastic in the third quarter? How come the
secondary actors for Phoenix have vanished or at least a
key points in this game? And is there a map
(00:43):
an escape map out of the abyss for the Sons
who are on the brink of elimination. Will discuss that
as well. Here it is our number one, a rocky
mountain high if you will welme in the beginning of
another edition the Ben Balor Show.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
As we flock together taking care of your trashy sports
radio needs coast to coast, border.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
The border and beyond.
Speaker 1 (01:18):

Tireract dot com the way tirebind shoe meet. So our
lead this hour, coming from the Mile High City, we
have a basketball palosa. It's the time of the year,
(02:00):
the obligatory NBA themed Mallard monologues every night. Now, once
we get past the conference semi finals, we will be
down to just one of these a night. I think
I think they'll alternate east west, but I might be wrong.
So the Suns, the game that we're gonna talk about
(02:20):
right here, the game that ended most recently before we
cracked the microphones, the very powerful microphones here at FSR.
And we're gonna start with the Suns traveling road show,
the circus traveling to Denver to visit the Nuggets Western
Conference semi finals to toet tied up their pivot point game.
(02:42):
Oh it's a pivot point game. That's so exciting. Nless
it's not. Maybe not if you don't you're not a
fan of Denver or Phoenix, probably not. But don't worry,
we watched. We got you covered on that we were
checking it out. So it's our good mitzvah of the day.
And Nicola Jochus, you think he sucked it at time,
you cannot suck.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, he filled up the score sheet with a little
bit of this and a little bit of that.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Twenty nine points, thirteen rebounds and twelve assists as we
call that back in the old country, we call that
a triple double. He's in fact passed Wilt Chamberlain by
for the most triple doubles by a center. Of course,
keep in mind, for most of NBA history, centers did
not even try to pass. So it's one of those
(03:29):
fugazi stats that we've come up with with the modern
era because Shaquille O'Neal a kim Elijah on Patrick Ewing.
You think of some of the great centers back in
the old days, and they didn't even attempt to pass.
Rarely did they attempt to pass. And so Jokishow triple double.
The Sun's overwhelmed by the Nuggets in the third quarter.
(03:51):
It was the first quarter, and then Phoenix came back
and then the third quarter domination. Turn out the lights,
the parties over, so three to two, the Nuggets have
the lead. They have the brief stranglehold on the series.
Game six way back in the Valley of the Sun
coming up later in the week. But the better story
(04:13):
is on that side, the team that walks out.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
With their tail between their legs, the losers. We love losers.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
We love losers, and so let us discuss the question
what the heck went sideways for the Suns in this game.
So I've got overdosed bell hop and arithmetic, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a nice migraine headache, which I would think,
(04:45):
if they care, the Suns would have right now. So, ay,
some things are not that difficult to analyze and break down,
and this is one of those things. It's an Okham's
razor situation. The simple answer is the correct answer is
the right answer. You go with that answer. So Phoenix
(05:06):
was caught flat footed here at the beginning of the game.
They then got back in the game, and then the
Nuggets stepped on their neck. They stepped on the gas.
In the third quarter. They came out more energized, and
it was was kind of like a drag race. I
used to you know, back in the day. These step
are these things called drag races, and you had one
car that was the Lamborghini, and that would be Denver.
(05:30):
They were driving the nice cherry red Lamborghini. And then
on the other side you had Phoenix and they had
an old school throwback vehicle. They had a horse and buggy,
And that's what it looked like in the third quarter,
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant getting whiplash after halftime, the
Nuggets peeling rubber in that third quarter there as the
(05:52):
Sons were left at the starting blocks dazed and confused,
and they played in the in the first eight or
nine minutes of the third court. By the time by
the time they figured things out, it was done, but
good night. But they played like they had overdosed Phoenix
on melatonin, that they were double fisting melatonin at halftime. Man,
(06:15):
they had that sleepy look to them, wowsers, And it
became at that point it became a dogpile. As it's
kind of like when you're trying to do the dishes,
the dirty dishes, and people are still eating and they're
putting dishes and forks and spoons and cups in the sink,
and you're like, I'm trying to wash. I'm a dish
washer at my house and I try to do the
(06:35):
dish and then so you keep putting more dishes in.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
It's annoying. I'm trying to get ahead of the dishes
and you can't get ahead of it. And then the.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Trench opened up. Devin Booker one of eight in the
third quarter while the walls were caving, and now Kevin
Durant was three of three into some people. That was
a great performance. You can't rip dur in the third
quarter when things went upside down in topsy Turvy. But
I would argue he was too passive. He needed to
be more aggressive and he was a liability defensively in that.
(07:05):
With a wink and a nod. Also to DeAndre Ayton,
who is auditioning for a role in a elementary school play.
He will be playing the statue of Liberty. DeAndre Ayton,
shouldn't you be able to slow down Nikolijokic a little bit.
I mean, Ayton I thought was number one pick, you know,
(07:27):
old steroid guy back in the day and all that.
But DeAndre Ayton wowsers nothing in that third quarter. Nikoliokic
seventeen of his twenty nine points in the third quarter,
and that was a body blow. Body blow anyways, im
mortal blow is what it was for Phoenix. And late
in the third court we also saw some classic NBA
(07:47):
theatrics during the Sun's huddle. Bruce Brown came over there
to the huddle from Denver and he was like a
spot because they were huddling up on the court. It
was like an impromptu meet and greet and that did
not go over well as it led to some pushing
(08:07):
and shoving, and Durant pushed Nikola Yokich, who acted like
he had been given the atomic elbow when he went
flying back, and Durant did show more effort and energy
though in that exchange than he did on defense in
that stretch of the game. Now page two here when
the game was close, When the game was close between
(08:30):
Phoenix and Denver, the Sun's backups were non factors. Landry
sham it. You can't sham it all day, you can't
sham it all night. Oh for three through three quarters
with one point. This is the guy that went bonkers
in the last game and was the difference maker, outplayed
everybody on the court. Back in the last game in Arizona,
(08:52):
in this game, oh for three when the game was
somewhat competitive through three quarters, and the Phoenix bench they
statistically they put some points up in garbage time, but
there were no real impact performances there. And so how
come the secondary actors mostly vanished for Phoenix. So I
(09:13):
have a theory on this. I blame the bell hop
I blame the bell hoppy. These supporting actors suffer from aerophobia.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
They have a.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Fear of flying. And we've seen this my entire life.
They hate the take off and the landing. Other than that,
they don't mind traveling. And I remember years ago, when
I was a young pup and I was out around
the NBA, there was this Hall of Fame coach. You
have no idea who this guy is named Bill Fitch.
He coached the Celtics and the Rockets, and later on,
at the end of his career, coached the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
And that's when I knew him.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And we were talking about some of the secondary players
and how they played pretty well at home and they
go on the road and they didn't play that well,
and his line and I don't remember exactly and I
can't ask him.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He passed away not that long ago. But Bill Fitch, he.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Said, of the players that play well at home and
then they go on the road, they're.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Lounge singers, he said.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And he said, that's the way it's supposed to be,
because if they played well at home and on the road,
they would not be backups. They would be starters, and
they would be like the baritone singer. They'd be the
baritone boss, if you will. But such as life, right,
and so the stars have to carry the way on
the road and all that. And Devin Booker was not
good enough. Kevin Durant was not good enough. They got
(10:31):
some numbers, but they didn't get good enough numbers, and
when the game was in the balance, they did not
make enough plays. All right, last word here, So is
there a map out? Is there a map? Can you
type in an address into the GPS to get out
of the deficit.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
For the Suns.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
So he turned to a trustee tool, the Malard scale
of panic, which is one to ten. The Maller scale
of is one to ten, with ten being you have
become vaporized. That would be a ten. So the guys
in Arizona are at a nine. They're at a nine
on the mallardscale of panic. Now there is a map.
(11:14):
But here's the problem. The map is it's a faded
and b it's missing, like a chunk of the map
like and you don't know whether to go right or left.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
There's like a fork in the road. You don't know
which way to go.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
However, if you if you look at this Landry Sham,
it's gonna play better in game six.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
There's a shot Chris Paul comes back. Whoopee damn do.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
And the problem is the arithmetic. There's some as a
former president said back in the day, there's some fuzzy
math here because the Suns the way I and maybe
I'm wrong on this, I just do the opennight shore.
But I believe the Sons have to win a game
in Colorado to advance, so the way they've played in Denver,
I have no evidence. Now that's what has happened. It
(11:58):
doesn't guarantee its gonna happen again, but based on what
has happened, there's no evidence that that is close to happening.
And as far as the temperature for Nikola Jokic and
the Nuggets, all the vitals are normal. Everything is good.
Things are bright and breezy and wonderful and great. It's
(12:19):
rainbows and unicorns and puppy dogs and kittens and all that.
Right now, sunny days are here again, and Denver has
been able to keep the Suns at bay in these
home games. And if they just do that, they can win.
And if they do that in the Western Finals, they'll
go to the NBA Finals. And if they do that
in the NBA Finals, well they might depending who they play,
(12:42):
they might have home court in the NBA Finals too.
So not a lot of stress, right, I just win
at home.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
It's not your home court advantage, just winning home. So
not like the there's no bubble. You don't have a bubble.
There's no bubble. Right. It is the Ben Mahlor Show,
and we're doing the overnights here. So management likes to
have me take calls. Against my judgment, we will open
up the phone lines here. I guess better judgment. And
if you want to be part, you don't need to
Please don't call. If you have nothing to say, we
(13:07):
don't need that. I got plenty of stuff to talk about.
We do not need your phone call. But if you
have something to say, you think people actually want to
hear what you have to say God forbid. People just
like you that are up late doing whatever they're doing, working,
have insomnia, whatever brings you to the show. We have
eclectic mix of people that listen, people making donuts, good guys,
(13:27):
bad guys, police, criminals, you name it. We had a
little bit of everything here on the Overnight eight seven,

We've got the Switcheroo and the Parisian. No show to
that coming up. We began with a little pro bouncy ball,
the Western Conference Vintage. We'll get to the East where
the Celtics are about to royally f up. And if
you're a head coach and you'd like to coach the
Boston Celtics, if they lose one more game, that job
will be open. Joel Missoula, let him play. Joe ain't
(15:21):
gonna be coaching the Celtics. I will guarantee you his
ass is grass. If Boston does not come back and
beat the Sixers in this series, holy just doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
He has no resume.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
If he had any resume, he's a nobody, like Joel
Missoula is a nobody.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Right, if you had a resume, it's okay. You give
another chance. Guys like that. They don't give him any chances.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
You know, if you blew the game, you call time
out twice at the any other game. This game, the
Celtics didn't even show up in the freaking game anyway.
All right, we will take your calls. But big news here, Eddie.
I don't know if you noticed when you walked into
the building. I I'm a man of pop. I am
a man of influence. When I say something, this company responds, No,
(16:06):
that's not true.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
That is true, Eddie, what happened?
Speaker 1 (16:09):
I have as much power as Colin Coward or Dan Patrick,
those other big j time guys.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
You know you're speaking a lot of crap.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
No, I'm not, No, I'm not. I What did I
complain about last night?
Speaker 2 (16:22):
That's right? What is working now? The ice? Ice? Baby, Eddie,
I am responsible me. I'm taking credit for that.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
I complain on the air, and management fix the ice machine.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Let their be ice, Let there be ice. I said.
Every one of these employees should take me.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
No one else can plain I two days in a row,
no ice, two days in a row, no ice.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Well, but you've complained about a lot of things over
the years, and usually nothing changes.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No, no, Now it's different, Eddie, now that we're in
the new because we're in the old studio where Limbaugh
and Steve Harvey worked out of.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So now we have power. That's true. Don't look at
me like that.
Speaker 5 (17:03):
I am looking at you. Don't look at me like
a Arkansas.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
This was a hat sending by one of our fine
listeners in Arkansas who said, you know what, I love
the Razorbacks. Had a lot of people think it's an
Alabama hat. You knew it was an Arkansas. I know
what an Alabama hat looks like. And you're wearing you've
changed up. You're wearing a pirate hat, but you have
a different pirate hat. This was like my listener as well,
Oh that's I like that. That's a good that's a
better looking pirate hat than the other one. That's old school.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's like that. That's like Roberto Clemente like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Roberto Flores and I were talking about how this is like,
this is the best thing I've ever been sent in
my twenty years here by listener who sent that. I
don't remember.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Oh wow, I mean this was sent by this I mean, come.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
On, whoever you are that sent this gold black and
gold pirate hat.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
There was about here. It was about two years. I
think it's because of COVID. People were sick of like everything,
and they just like we're sending hats and stuff like that.
Completely shut down none of that lately. But Roberto's got
and some not hats, but listeners have been very kind.
Supposed to get something else in the.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Mail, right, Roberto the fried fried daddy hook.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yeah, he's getting some uh some grilling stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
No, I don't know what did we say? Frier air fryer? Yeah,
everybody in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Well that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, yeah, that's cool man.
Speaker 6 (18:22):
I can't wait to get that.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
There you go, don't you you have one of those?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Right? I do? I love the air fier.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
It's healthier for you.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I don't care about that.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It's it's easy to use, and it tastes it tastes
like it's deep fried. It's pretty it's like a rip
off of deep fried. So that's clean to do, right, Yeah,
people say it's it's healthier.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
I don't know what's your favorite thing to cook in
the air fryer or the Yeah, the air fryer.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Well, you can get the rip well chicken fingers. But
you can get the rip off Chick fil A sandwich
from Costco, which in the air fry tastes just like
Chick fil A, but it's like a third of the cost.
And I make fries in there.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yeah, pretty good, it's not bad. You don't use the
air fer I don't have one. You know, how do
you not have an air fryer?
Speaker 5 (19:07):
I don't cook.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, my wife carks, you're more masculin than me.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I cook all the I don't have an air frare.
I'm like miss Sunshine. I bake cookies, cakes, you name it. Man,
I don't have a regular I'd be a great housewife.

to that crumble cookie place?
Speaker 2 (19:37):
You know? Yes? Really good? Right? Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:39):
So my wife got me one of those, and then
she told me how much it costs, and I almost
I died of a heart attack. So I found it.
So I found a ripoff recipe. I found a ripoff
recipe which is almost exact. I mean it's perfect.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
The key is the frost. You gotta make the frost.
So that's the that's the key to that.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
You ever made snickerdoodles, I'm a big SnO.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I have made my that's my time favorite cookie.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
Man.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Maybe feeling like it, maybe I'll make some and Roberto
snickerdoo sure' that's not his favorite cooking. Roberto st there's
cinnamon in it.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
Was gonna say, you have to like it.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
He likes black. He likes black pepper more. Yeah, he
likes that.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
True.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
He's a cheer okie. There is a chure O cookie

Speaker 1 (20:32):
So the ice machine, I'd like to alert all the affiliates.
The ice machine is working, so if you need anything.
I'm the man that wields the power in the building.
Now and finally, how many years I've been here now
twenty three years or something like that. Finally, Eddie, finally
here we are power. Thank you took twenty three years
(20:53):
overnight sensation clearly. All right, let's go to the phones
and we'll say hello to Michael, who is hanging out
in Maine. Hello, Michael, you are on the big radio
show Welcome Hello.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Hello? Can you hear me now?
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yes, yes, that's why I said your name. Yes, I
can hear you?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
All right, first time call her? How are you doing to.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Be welcome and thank you? I am fine? What's going on?
Speaker 7 (21:20):
So you kind of me to it? I was gonna
ask you a question. Uh, so, do you truly think
that Missilla's gone next year? Considering they just hired him?
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What's what's the reason to keep him? He's a nobody's
a no resume.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
He's this is one of the most embarrassing performances.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
And I don't think coaching matters that much in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
But but what he's done, I mean, he's getting out
coached by Doc Rivers.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Doc Efan Rivers.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
You you're right, You're right.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
That's a war crime. There should be a war tribunal
Doc Rivers, Doc. He's making Doc Rivers look like a genius.
That's not possible. I don't think that was possible.
Speaker 7 (21:59):
No, with with him, what's the deal with him only
playing Grant Williams eight minutes and Robert Williams eighteen? Uh,
it's management with all year long isn't this what you
try to do for for the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
This is my point, Michael. It's a scam. Load management
is a scam, Michael.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
It's a scam being played on the fans of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And I see listen, I feel my pain, Mike. I'm
a Clipper fan.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
They rested Kawhi Leonard and Paul George so they'd be
healthy in the playoffs, so they could sit on the
bench like tweedl ed and tweedled dumb and and so
they got eliminated from the playoffs. So this it's play
your guys, Come on right, Michael, play the guy who
would you like to see if the Celtics do lose here?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And I don't.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
I don't think it's a I don't think it's a guarantee,
by the way, Michael, that they will lose the next
two games, because.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
You know, I believe they're gonna lose their next game
as well. I I truly be these na.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
You don't understand that. The doc rivers factors, so you
can still kick in at any point here. But anyway
they play, you stop resting everyone. It's ridiculous, you know.
The rare, rare and appropriate. I'm fine with that, but
I'm confused by the Celtics. I'll tell you why I was.
I was under the understanding that they're all analytically driven
in the front office and all that, but like some
(23:15):
of the stuff they do is not analytics.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
It's like a little bit of a list. And then
I don't know, it seems confusing what they're what they're
up to. I don't get it.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So yeah, Boston, Sam, but hey go red socks.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Right there you go. That's all you got left. That's it.
That's all all right, thank you going all right?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Thanks for moogie.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

Speaker 1 (23:42):

Maller along with my trustee sidekick David Gascon. Would mean
a lot to have you join us on our weekly
auditory journey. You're asking, what in God's name is the
Fifth Hour. I'll tell you it's a spin off of
The Ben Maler Show, a cult hit overnights on FSR.
Speaker 2 (23:59):

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
Well, you know another older coach has passed away something
that means something to me and you probably Ben, But
Denny Crumb passing away, the former Louisville Cardinal Greats led them.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
To a couple dress coach Denny Crumb.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
Yeah, and I did see this from our friend Justin
in Cincinnati, who who pointed out that TMZ did a
well a Justin in Cincinnati move, you could call it.
They reported on the death of Denny Crumb. But they
used a picture of Dean Smith in their little bio
there a little oh bit, I guess you would call it.
(24:52):
Dean Smith's been dead for many years now. I will
say this about the photo. Denny Crumb actually is in
the foreground. But yeah, you wouldn't really know that because
it's like it's like the side of his head talking
to Dean Smith. Somebody must have googled Denny Crumb and
saw that picture.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And no, no, no, yeah, So what I think back at
theory on this, So the the hipsters over their teams. Yeah,
they're in the South Bay now and they're not in
Hollywood anymore. They move because Harvey Levin lives in the
South Bay and so they want to they want to
be close to there. So they're right down the street
from where Harvey lives. But they hire these hipsters and
so they type in because they have to pay for
the photo. So they type in Getty Images or whatever,
(25:27):
Danny Crumb. And since, as you said, he was in
the photo that came up, they have no idea who
Denny Crumb is. They have no idea who Dean Smith is.
So they're like, boom, there we go. It's a great
It is a good photo of the Dean Dome. Yeah,
Dean Smith, a solid photo.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
So Denny Crumb eighty six years old, Hall of Fame
coach passing away. There you go, and was born apparently
very close to here. I was just looking on his
wiki ped thing was born in San Fernando, California.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Oh yeah, we are in the San Fernando Valley.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
In Los Angeles where we do the show from.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
And are you very exciting?
Speaker 1 (26:02):
And my fun fact of the already what happened? Let's see,
were you watching the Phillies game. You were not watching
the game?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (26:09):
They were doing the wave at Citizens Bank Park? What
did the Philly fans do while the wave was going on?
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Eddie? What do you think they were doing?
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Who were they playing?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Well, you just gave the scores. They were playing the
Blue Jes. They were playing the Blues.
Speaker 5 (26:25):
They were chanting Blue Jays suck while they were doing
the wave.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
No, it was raining down Wieners. Uh, it was a
hot dog they were somehow early season hot dog promotion.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But there's a great video clip that somebody sent me
of and it doesn't really work on radio because you
can't see it.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
So who cares? But they're they're they're painting the crowd.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
They're doing the wave and there are hot dogs flying
from the upper decks down to the lower decks and
people are tossing them around as they're doing the way
like they're doing this and they're they're putting their arms
up and tossing hot dogs.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
They put their arms up and beautiful, beautiful scene there.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
So this happened already twice, right, I mean, this happened
many times in Philadelphia. They just don't care at the
fans little stuff on the field.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Well, as long as they pay for the hot dogs,
they don't really care. And they were mostly throwing it
at other fans.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
They were tucking because you remember back in the nineties
and Dodger stadiumhen they gave away the baseball.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Baseball, Oh my god, that.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
I was playing the card I was. I covered that game.
That was that game in and in a forfeit. The
last time they ever gave out baseball.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Dodger after the game, right, don't they give them?
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Yeah, they don't. They don't give you the baseballs anymore.
And it was so funny. I'll never forget. I was
a kid and I walked into the Cardinals locker room
and they had an outfielder named Brian Jordan who also
played in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
He thought that was the coolest thing.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
He had the biggest smile on his face as he
can run off the field from the outfield because it
was the raining down baseballs And it was because Tommy
the sort of came out and incited the crowd and
there was an bunch. There was a controversial call. I
think Tom Henkey was the closer for the Cardinals at
that point. And yeah, so the Sorda got all upset
(28:12):
and Tommy used to do the wattle and he would
do the he would do the wattle off the field
and he would like there his arms in the air,
and of course the fans then knew what to do
and they, uh, yeah, that was That was a great night.
That was my favorite. That in the Fernando to Tist
two Grand Slams. Also the Cardinals and Dodgers, two of
my favorite baseball memories. Let's go back to the phones
(28:34):
and Meenie miney mode. Let's go to Mike who was
hanging out in the Bay Area. Mike, what's going on?
You were on the Ben Mathers Show. And by the way,
that switcher room. Mike, you probably know about this, but
the A's have already changed plans. They're gonna still move
to Vegas, but now they're going to the middle of
the strip, the Tropicana Hotel and Resort.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Yeah, you're gonna tear that thing down. No, I don't
like that.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
That's why because that's one of the last hotels that
is free parking on the strip, the Tropicana.
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Why would you want to go to the Tropicana anyway
to park for free?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I don't want to pay twenty or forty bucks to
park they've got They've got wheelchairs just ready at the entrance.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, that doesn't matter. I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
I might need one someday, so I'd rather go to
the Tropican but I by anyway. So they're building a
ballpark right there. It's not gonna be very big, but
that's right in the middle of the strip. And if
you've never been to Vegas, I mean that is right there,
which does not make Mike very happy.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Mike, what's going on? Mike?
Speaker 5 (29:29):
No, it makes me excited as hell?
Speaker 7 (29:31):
Are you kidding me?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Nomadic tribe?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
But nomadic tribe, man, it's okay with me.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
I grew up.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
Rooting for the Oakland A's but knowing about the Philadelphia
and Kansas City as.
Speaker 5 (29:42):
Let's go Las Vegas as who cares?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, then you don't care. Then you're fine. You're like,
you just have to travel the games.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Who cares? He doesn't give a crap. You're a rich guy,
you got money. Who cares?
Speaker 4 (29:53):
I have no money, but paying you know, season tickets
in the family, the whole bing.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But you know, the city doesn't support it.
Speaker 7 (30:02):
So I don't care about where we're gonna be the.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Las Vegas things.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Let's go.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
I'll do two weekends a season on a great time.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
It's a good it's a good thing.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
I'm not okay, all right, that's that's an interesting that's
an interesting take.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
That's a wild take. You can say that. I mean,
you know you're on the.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
Radio watch you gotta wash you gotta wash your mouth
out with soap and water.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
Now, I take your mind.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
You guys seem like a good caller. We had to
blow them up though. We got rules, so you can't.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Say that word.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
You know what, Ben, I've thought about it a little
bit more, and I actually I don't know. That's that's
probably not a great thing because the traffic's bad enough
on the strip, you think, and then this is just
gonna be insane.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
You think they're gonna lower the prices of parking or
raise the prices of parking now that the A's are
gonna build the ballpark there?
Speaker 2 (30:51):
What do you think is gonna happen? Everything?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
I mean, I get, I get free parking, so well, yeah,
you lose your ass in Vegas. They give you free parking,
but I win, so they don't give me free parking
because I win.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm a winner. I win when I game unless I don't.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Right, eight seven seven ninety nine fives And the bad
news for the NBA marketing Army. The NBA Draft Lottery
is a week next week, next Tuesday, so a week
from this past Tuesday here as this is our Wednesday show,
and it is all about Victor Wembanyama, the Parisian prodigy.
So they've got the lottery coming up, and he is
going to miss the draft lottery.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
Not gonna be.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
They're gonna miss the NBA Draft Combine because he's playing
in France and so there's a French League games he
has to play.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So he said, screw.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
You, NBA, I am not going. I am not going
to your little lottery party. So I'm assuming they'll get
him on satellite from somewhere and they'll have him on
and kiss his ass and say how wonderful he is.
But I just simulated the lottery here on tankapon dot com,
my favorite tank website if you're a fan of tanking,
(32:00):
and I'm a simulator right.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Now, Oh, look at this.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
The winner of the lottery, according to tankafon never wrong.
The Washington whatever they're called, these were called the Bullets,
but now they're called the Wizards.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
So there you moved up seven spots. That's let me
do it again. No, Houstedon, you got the Parisian prodigy. Hi'standon.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Will the NBA do an NHL and rig the lottery
for a marquee franchise?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Well? Who would that? You say, Who's in the lottery
that's a glamour? I'd say the Pistons, Hot Houston or Detroit?
Speaker 5 (32:35):
Okay, So the answer is they will. They'll let it
be on the up and out because there's no big
market that's gonna benefit from this, so they'll let it
play out.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Well, Chicago is in there, but they have very the
mathematics on the Chicago would have.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
They have the lowest odds.
Speaker 5 (32:49):
They can't make it too obvious.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, I'd say from a marketing standpoint, Houston's had some
good teams, Detroit the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (32:58):

Jerry seasting a fine name, but that is incorrect Eddie.
The last time a white guy other than Alas Caruso
was named first team All Defensive in the NBA was
a guy named Don Busey in nineteen for the Phoenix Suns.
He actually tied Michael Ray Richardson. John Stockton did make
(37:09):
the All NBA second team, but he did not ever
make a first team All defensive unit. So it's been
forty years. Do you know the last prominent white defensive
back in the NFL A Jason Seahorn.
