Couple of notes for you before we get an hour

in Minneapolis in Mounds View.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
So more information online on that.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
And then also the fifth hour podcast is up for
today and we do a deep dive bow No hiccups,
or at least we now know more about hiccups, as
we have an expert in the area of hiccups talking
about what bo Jackson has been going through. He's been
suffering from chronic hiccups for about a year. About a year.
(01:16):
The baseball football legend Bo Jackson, so that we talked
about his situation on the Fifth Hour podcast today now
here in our number one of the radio show, Western
Conference Finals game number two, Lakers at the Nuggets. Who
gets the majority of the Lakers bacon wrapped? Blame dog
(01:37):
for this laws? What happened to that Laker defense against
Jamal Murray in the fourth quarter? And how is the
tale of the tape looking? What's the Malard report card?
After two games in the Western Finals, the Western Finals.
We'll talking about that and much more right now here.
(01:58):
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
On watch out for the falling nugget right on your head.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well come, in the beginning of another edition of the
Benmathers Show. We are in the air everywhere, belly to

The way tire buying should be so our lead rather obvious.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Here a pro bouncy ball game in the Rocky Mountains,
another night of the Western Finals, and there it was
Game two. Now I was so exciting. Anthony Davis in
the Lakers. Remember the media elites told us that the
Lakers had figured out the Nuggets. And I think it
was Jeff Van Dundee over there on television who said
(03:22):
that the Nuggets were the ones that had to make
all the adjustments after Game one, that they were the
ones that were.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
In trouble and not the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So clearly Denver the worst team that won game one
of an NBA playoff series.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Surely they were.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Gonna drown in Game two. And if you saw the game,
you know that did not happen. But perhaps you did
not watch the game, so we got you covered. It
was Murray time, Jamal Murray, little Murray Magic, a majestic
fourth quarter, scored thirty seven of the game, twenty three
(03:58):
in the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets storming back, and
they ended up char broiling Lebron and the Lakers down
the home stretch.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Aren't the Lakers the team that's supposed to win those games?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They have the championship pedigrade, that's what everyone likes to
tell us. Lebron James the greatest of all time and
Anthony Davis. Okay, So they win close games, yes, well
two close games zero for two and Denver now up.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
To love and they control the home court.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Game three back skid row adjacent in the cesspool of
downtown Los Angeles at that dump that used to be
called Staple Center. So let us discuss the question, who
gets the majority of the Laker bacon rapped blame dog?
Now this is not to be confused with a blame pie.
(04:49):
This is totally different. Here, who gets the majority of
the Laker bacon rap blame.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Dog for this loss?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So I have Indy Anna Jones, MythBusters, and Kryptonite, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a giant hole.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
A giant hole.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That's where Lebron is at the very bottom of that
giant hole in this series not over yet, but it
ain't looking good now. A to answer the question, we
give the biggest trunk of the bacon rap blame dog
to Lebron James, with an assist to Anthony Davis and
(05:38):
a special special clipping to D'Angelo Russell. So the Lakers
were leading this game, and they weren't blowing out Denver,
but they were up by eleven midway through the third quarter.
I was getting some text messages from historians that were
telling me that this is my worst nightmare, that the
(05:59):
Lakers had arrived, and that they couldn't wait to hear
my show and hear what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But I kept watching. I did not respond to these nimrods.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I kept watching and watching and watching, and the Nuggets
kept playing and playing and playing like the energizer Bunny.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They got more strength as the game.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Went on, and the Lakers, even though they had kept
the Nuggets at arm's length away from them for the
first part of the game, that eleven point lead midway
through the third quarter, that was the point of demarcation.
It reminded me of the Indiana Jones movies back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Right the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Accidentally triggered a booby trap. They hit the booby trap
and that caused a system wide malfunction. They were at
malfunction junction and right there, and man, was that great
to watch? Did we not all enjoy that? Bravo good
win for America? There for the Denver Nuggets, a giant boulder.
(07:00):
I went hurling down an inescapable passage and the Lakers
were stuck there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And just like Indian Angels, you.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Saw the wall of crossbows that fired the moment the
Lakers touched that golden basketball. And then you had that
pit of spikes that was surrounded by pythons beneath a
carefully laid straw floor. All of the booby traps were there.
All of it happened. Lebron James, looking long in the tooth,
(07:30):
we said it, I said it. I don't take it back.
He looked old. What the heck happened to that second gear?
For King James, I'm asking for a friend. I'm asking
for a friend. So I'm gonna compartmentalize the game because
the turning point of the game was the eleven point
lead midway.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Through the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
From that point forward, it was all Denver and Lebron James.
When the Lakers went up by eleven, the rest of
the game a quarter and a half, he shot less
than forty percent from the floor zero for four from downtown.
He also had a turnover. He is living up to
(08:12):
the nickname Lebrec. Is he a vampire? They called Russell
Westbrook a vampire when he played there because of all
the missed three point shots. Well, Lebron James is worse
than Russell Westbrook from outside. So how's that working out
for you? Put that in your pipe and smoke it,
and God bless Lebron.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Though.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I love the fact that he is so obtuse that
he continues to shoot three point shots. It's very reminiscent
of Westbrook, where teams are now leaving him wide open
and they are goating him to shoot from downtown and
he's such a dumb dumb that he keeps doing it.
It's a fascinating thing to watch here, it really is.
(08:51):
And then you had I would call it soul food
for the soul that Anthony Davis yet again guilty of truancy.
The final moment weren't terrible, but they were pedestrian for
Anthony Davis. When you think about what the hype is
on this guy, and he was blah for most of
the game. Wasn't his worst game ever, But I keep
going back to that final stretch last quarter and a half,
(09:14):
Lakers up eleven, and we talked about Lebron, how bad
he was. Well, Anthony Davis was even worse. He shot
below thirty percent, made only two of his final seven shots,
had three turnovers. And then you've got D'Angelo Russell, who
the Nuggets said, They said, how incompetent Russell is. We
(09:36):
hope the Lakers signed him to a lifetime country The
Nuggets after Game one said, this guy's a bum. They
explained exactly their game plan, and Russell went out and
sucked again. But he was really bad in the second
halfter one of three Lakers were outscored by fifteen points
with him on the court in that fateful booby trap situation.
(09:57):
And as a team, the Lakers took their final thirty
two field goal attempts, they somehow managed to miss nineteen
of them, nineteen of them. They were even worse from
three point land, and they shot twenty percent the last
quarter and a half. Now, Page two, How was Jamal
Murray to circumnavigate? How was he able to circumnavigate and
(10:21):
exploit what many of the NBA upper crust tell me
is the top defense of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The Laker defense. Well, see, this.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Is one of those little problems that we have the
reality and then you have the narrative, and the narrative
is one thing the reality if you actually watched the
games and pay attention, the Lakers are not if they're
the top defensive.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Team, No one plays defense in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Jamal Murray, the way I looked at it, all he
did was take advantage of great looks that he missed
early in the game. He kept perseverance in his bag
of tricks there. But he got in the old big
rig and he kept on trucking and play MythBusters if
you want. I don't mind playing MythBusters. But the Lakers are.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Over raighted over rated.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
As a defensive team. How many times did in the
Golden State Series did Klay Thompson miss wide open three
point looks? How many times did Steph Curry miss clear
looks at the basket?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, Jamal Murray missed.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
He looked like Klay Thompson light in the first three
quarters of this game, missing open looks, and then down
the stretch, the same ratty defense by the Lakers, no
hands in the face, no body on the offensive player,
and Jamal Murray, a fine Canadian lad put up the
(11:44):
Mona Lisa. It was a Mona Lisa. He finished in
last nine shots he took.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He was eight of nine. That is eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Point nine percent, which is also a college college radio station,
if those things still exist. But from from downtown. In
the final eighteen minutes, the Nuggets as a team were
ten of nineteen. They shot fifty one percent. But Jamal Murray,
he scored more than half, more than half of the
(12:14):
Nuggets final fifty one points. It was a wild ride
and he was the one that was the conductor with
a wink and a nod the Michael Porter Junior and
Bruce Brown who each contributed varying degrees of big baskets there.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So it was a regal performance for Denver.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
We mentioned how good they shot as a team, but
most of that was Murray down the stretch. All right,
last word here, So what is the report card? This
is the not the midterm report card, but the report
card at this point between the Lakers and the Nuggets
after two games. We have observed so the Mallord grading
(12:58):
book reads like this. Denver gets a B plus, the
Lakers get a D minus. On the Malther grading book,
and here's how I broke down the.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Grading.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So the Nuggets have shown that they are clearly at
a higher plane than the Lakers in these first two games,
but they only get a B plus because they haven't
played a complete game yet, and yet they're up two
games to love, which is tells you how much better
they are than the other team. Denver was dominant in
the first half of Game one. They led up in
(13:34):
the fourth quarter of Game one, and dumb people said
that the Lakers had figured out the Nuggets. Those dumb
people include Jeff Van Gundy and a number of pundits
who are up Lebron James Tukas. The Lakers get a
D minus because they have double trouble.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Not only do they have problems in the rear view mirror,
they have problems out the front of the car, right
out the windshield. They have to win four the next five.
And you and I know we can guarantee every man,
woman and child who watches basketball knows Anthony Davis is
guaranteed to be lethargic in at least three of the
final five games. So therefore, the Lakers are gonna have
(14:15):
to win four of the next five, knowing that Anthony
Davis is going to be deadweight for the majority of
those games. And Lebron did he not show krypton it?
Maybe my television was broken and you can correct.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Me on this now. I thought I saw it. Maybe
I didn't. Maybe I didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I thought I saw Lebron James butterfinger James fumbling away
a windmill hammer dunk out of bounds. And did he
not also air mail a reverse layup as well?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I mean, maybe I didn't see it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I was a little groggy. But all of this is
encouraging for the Nuggets. You get back the back games
where the MVP late in the game didn't do much
of anything. He was a decoy down the stretch. And
in this game, Nikola Jokic was zero for four in
the fourth quarter, put up a goose egg zippo. I
(15:15):
guess that Laker defense they figured out Nikola Yokis. Now
they gotta figure out Jamal Murray. Good luck on that.
But the Nuggets won anyway. So two games in a row,
Jokic hasn't been great in the fourth quarter and Denver
wins them anyway. Wow, And the other takeaway I have
is when you get a game officiated fairly, there's not
(15:36):
bias from the NBA, the Lakers can't win.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They can't win.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We saw two games in a row where the officiating
was fair and balanced and the Lakers lose both. You
know what has to happen here for the Lakers to
get back into this series. I don't need to say it.
I think you know what needs to happen. Lakers just
don't match up and so Big Brother might need to
come down there. Got to bring in the fixer'll figure
out what's going on here because it ain't working right now.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Man alive. But one of all Denver needs.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
They got to win one one of the next two
to really put the gay the series on ice.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But they just do that.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Whether it's Game three on Saturday, of course I'll be busy.
I'll be at the Mallard meet and greet. So I mean,
we might have it on there, but don't I don't know.
We might not have it on I have no idea anyway.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Taris to pro bouncy ball as the Denver Nuggets a
couple wins away from a date in the NBA Finals,
and I knew when Russell Wilson went to Denver that
good times will be coming for Denver sports fans.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Did not see this one on the radar.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Thomas in the five to one three Rights In says
checking in live, packing the head to see the daughter
graduate college a plus on the maland monologue on Labam
and the Game, Thomas, He's doing it live every once
in a while.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
You gotta do it live.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Shane in de Moines says Ben is mister Shatner invited
to the meet and greet in Minnesota. Is anyone not
welcome like Kyler doc rivers Albouve. Well, we will have
some muscle at the door to make sure the riff
raft does not get in.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Shane and the Wine.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But I don't know that we have anyone who we've
ostracized from the event. But if Spats with Shats wants
to make an appearance, go ahead. Coop Daddy writes and
says he plus on the mouth of the monologue, this
series should legitimately be a sweep, if all is fair.
I felt like the Joker was playing at seventy percent
and still came out with a win, Brody writes, and
(19:26):
he says the Lakers committed basketball malpractice so far as
this series. If a tool is broken and you don't
use that tool to get the job done, the tool
that's broken is the three point shot.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
They need to get their points in the paint and
have a ninety conversion rate. So he has so he says,
that's a listener, Brody throwing that out mark. The walker
is wandering around.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
He says, he's getting some good miles in while watching
the PGA.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
At Oak Hill just down the street. Have a good night. Well,
we're doing fine.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
We'll have to a fine start on the show at
this particular point, and we'll take.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Your phone calls.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixth nine.
They did enjoy the ranting and raving of the Denver
Nuggets head coach Michael Malone, who was incensed.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I think that's the right word incensed. I got very
upset with the the media.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
At least, he admits that he does pay attention to
media consumption and seemed to be genuinely surprised by the
media coverage taken aback aghast a guffaw from Michael Malone,
and I don't think we have the out I didn't
get any audio on the game, but Michael Malone said.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You win game one is a quote.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You win game one of the playoffs, and all everybody
talked about was the Lakers. Malone stated, Let's be honest,
that was a national narrative, not on this show. Now
we're the outline. That's why we're doing the overnight. We're
not part of the mainstream. And I was part of
the mainstream. Do you realize if I was part of
the mainstream media, I would right now have to massage
Lebron James ankle. I would have to massage the man's ankle,
(21:14):
because that's the national narrative, he says. Malone says, the
Lakers were fine, they were down one zero, but they
figured something out.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
This was so stupid. This is one of the all
time dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb media narratives.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Malone quote continued, No One talked about that Nicola Yocchet
a historic performance. He got thirteen triple doubles. Now blah
blah blah blah blah. The narrative wasn't about Nicola. The
narrative is about the Lakers and their adjustments. So you
put that in your pipe and smoke it. Michael Malone stated,
you come back and you know what we're going.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Up two oh soy.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Congratulations, congratulations of that. But I hate to be the
bearer of bad news because I've seen this before. This
is not my first trip to the circus. When the
Nuggets beat the Lakers and Denver is the better team
and barring some kind of injury or you know, shenanigans
from the NBA League office with the referee, but if
everything's played on the up and up and there are
(22:12):
no major injuries for the Nuggets, then Denver clearly wins
this series. But I will promise you the hours after
the series ends, it will not be looking ahead to
the NBA Finals, the Nuggets finally breaking through getting of
the NBA Finals. It will not be that, no, no, no,
It'll be what moves can Lebron make to improve the
(22:33):
Lakers rust? Early offseason will the Lakers go don't get
player X. That's going to be the narrative one hundred percent.
I'll bet you one thousand dollars of fake radio money
that that will be the there if some version of
that narrative will be the narrative when this particular series
does come to an end and the Lakers lose. Let's
go to the phones. Mark is up first. He's in
(22:54):
La La Land. Hello, Mark, Welcome. You were on the
Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
So Mallor, I know you're basking in the glow of
a Laker lost, but I got news for you. Lakers
are still gonna win this series. I'll give you a
couple of Bolton points. You're the Nuggets, all the pressures
on them, there's the number one seed, they have the
time MVP. Objectively speaking, they have the better roster and
the head coach. So with all that being set, you
were the best home team and the Lakers played the
(23:21):
Sea game. You dominated both home games and it took
him down to the wires the last minute. Objectively, the
Lakers could have won one, if not both, of these games.
So if you're Denver, you're very nervous because you dominated
home and you right now.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And Nicole, he's biting his fingernails in the corner. He's
so nervous right now, he's a nervous Here's another thing.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
The Nuggets don't play well on the road. I'm gonna
be at games three. Lakers are gonna come out and
put a stop a mud hole in their asses. De
Low plays a lot better, you know, a d finally
gonna get his head together. The role players better than Crypto.
They don't lose in the playoffs at home, so they're
gonna win both games at home, and you know, to
be a best of three. And we know how the
Nuggets have come up short. And it's gonna happen again.
(24:04):
Because what's gonna happen is.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, of course, because because nothing because hey, hey, dummy,
nothing ever changes.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
This is the most pathetic pep talk of a phone
call I've ever taken in the last couple of years.
What are you doing? You're doing, you're doing, you're doing?
You just did could have? Should have? Would have?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You Your defense is could have, should have, would have
could have should have would.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Have tight tight.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know what you sound like to me?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You sound like someone who knows it's over. You sound
to me like somebody who has an upset stomach. You've
got indigestion right now, you are mentally exhausted.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You are about to have an emotional collapse.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You you you sound like someone right now that is
very concerned. There's a four alarm fire and you're the
building is burning up right now, there's an inferno. They
get to the final, they know they've never won anything
with Lebron James, nothing zero, as we have seen this series.
When when you actually have to go against opposing fans
(25:10):
in Denver, see they played the Nuggets in that Gaysey bubble,
there was no altitude, there were no opposing fans, and
the Lakers have played.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Like absolute altitude.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
God getting all right, I know you've got nausey over there,
Cooper loop and you're depressed and all that and distressed,
but hey, uh that's the way this works.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
The altitude was a factor, Ben, I don't know. The
altitude was a factor in the fourth court. Altitude was
a fester.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He looked like he had abdominal paint stopped Lebron James, Like.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Maybe it's because he's old. Now you ever think that.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
The altitude thing is like the most blown, Like you know,
blown up, over blown.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Thing changed, My position started to evolve. My position ridiculous.
And Coop, you sound also very concerned. Here you're in
a funk, and.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I was more some concerned. We're down two, you're screwed.
Admit it right now, you a little wueezy. Come on,
admit it.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
No, I'm not queasy, No, come on, it's look, it's
I'm yeah, of course I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
If you're down oh two, and you're not concerned, you're
you're dumb. But the guy's not concerned, he's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
He said the series isn't over those well, no, they
gotta win two more games, but they will.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It'll win too more.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Well, you also said that the Warriors would win in five,
and then the Grizzlies winning six, and so.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Thompson Thompson was looking about his father, is what he
was doing. Klay Thompson's for Michael Thompson, like a.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Radio hack or whatever. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Anyway, all right, it's a great night. Everyone's happy in
the country. All sports fans are are happy. The evil
Lakers lost again in the playoffs. The good guys, the
Denver Nuggets won, so we're happy about that. The freemason
at work and the excuse machine being cranked up. We've
got that, and everyone's friend is is the doc as well.
(27:01):
But right now, let's get over to the Sporting News
desk and well, no, it's actually it's not surely it's
it's steamboat Willie. And that's Eddie Garcia, the Notcho Daddy
to get you caught up on all the games.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Of note y'all packed up and ready for your your
big trip? Ready, got anything ready to go?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I'm not I do it the last minute, as you know, Eddie,
Why would I know that prepared. We've been on many
road trips, you know, the company sends us on the
road all the time, so we've been all over.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Never actually been on the road trip with you, but really,
if you want to go, Actually, I'm actually surprised by
that that you're a last second packer guy, because you're
so you know, you're so overly prepared for your shows
and stuff. I figure that maybe that you were that
way in your personal life.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Well, if I would like to travel like our friend
Rob Parker. Rob doesn't even take any Yeah, like Rob
Fly's Spirit Airlines and he just wears the clothes on
his back. And then he'll buy some clothes when he
gets to the city and then leave him.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's the way to travel. I don't know. It's a
little weird.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Actually it's a lot weird.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He saves a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Really by taking his clothes and leading.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Spirit airlines is cheap.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It's just if you actually want to, you know, take
a package with your bag or something like that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Or I think they charge for seatbelts. I believe so
they might.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller

Speaker 7 (28:28):
Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball.
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories. You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I think you like it.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
So we're still waiting in the NBA for them to
hand out the punish meant to Memphis Grizzly star John Moran.
But Nike has apparently handed down a form of punishment
as well as they have removed Jahn Morant's shoe from
their website.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, I saw that the vanishing sneaker. I'm not a
shoe guy. There's a lot of guys that are into
like shoes, that collect shoes. I don't think so he
was the biggest shoe guy ever. I think Bobo left
the company. Well he's working somewhere else in the company,
but now with us. But yeah, the Nike app no
longer has Jahn Morant's sneaker that it was supposed to
(29:34):
be released soon. And I'm told they people over there
at the Swoosh did the same thing with Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You remember Kyrie when.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He was supporting anti Semitism movies there on his platform.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Nike did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
They removed Kyrie Irvings shoe before they terminated Kyrie's contract.
So it would appear it's heading that direction that Nike
gave John Morant one chance and they're not going to
give him another opportunity. So it appears, all right, Spen

Speaker 1 (30:27):
So this is outstanding. The excuse machine being cranked up
for Lebron.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
James and people in the NBA media convinced that the
reason Lebron struggled late in the game was because of
an ankle, a bum ankle. He suffered a peer to
suffer an injured ankle. There during the game, he stepped
on Anthony Davis's foot, and Lebron was ineffective overall. He
(30:55):
was nine of nineteen, but we missed a bunch of shots,
as we documented earlier hour down the stretch, and and
so they're saying, well, Lebron's like, well, I should be
fine for game three.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
It should be okay. Nothing is going to keep him,
he said from playing in game three, which.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
To me sounds like twenty four hour around the clock
in depth team coverage breathless reporting Lebron getting around the
clock treatment on his ankle, hopeful of being able to
play there are doubts, you know, that typical thick drama
bull crap.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
The NBA does with every injury.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I expect to hear about Lebron's ankle if you pay
attention to this stuff for the next couple of days.
And the historic suckage of Lebron James is next level. Now,
remember I talked about the guy. We just talked to
a guy Mark in LA who sounds like he's having
a nervous breakdown because his Lakers season scrumbling apart, and
certainly sounded like he's giving himself a pep talk. One
(31:53):
of the reasons he needs to give himself a pep talk,
Lebron James has now missed in the fourth quarter of
playoff games nineteen straight three point shots in the fourth
quarter of playoff games. That goes back to Game two
of the first round against the Grizzlies. If that sounds
like a lot, If that sounds like a ridiculous amount
(32:13):
of consecutive missed three point shots in the fourth quarter
of playoff games, that is because this is another feather
in the cap of Lebron. No one has sucked this
bad in the fourth quarter from downtown in an entire generation,
in an entire generation is twenty five years, and we
(32:35):
are told it has been that long, longest streak by
any player the last twenty five post seasons. So a
historical sucking from Lebron James from downtown. And then, of
course you hear the usual nonsense like Austin Reeves supporting Lebron,
(32:55):
saying let him shoot all he wants. You know what,
you know who agrees with that? The Denver Nuggets, they
agree with that. Yes, Michael Malone says, please in the
fourth quarter, have the man shoot.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Let the man shoot.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Lebron, go Lebron, go downtown, Lebron, over.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And over, because he's due. He is due.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Berg Dog writes, and he says, I guess the only
thing left to ask is do you think Denver wants
to end the series in Game four? Four games rather
go to the gentleman's sweep. I don't think the Lakers
have any say in the matter. Late Night Drug tester says,
the way Jamal Murray played tonight, the Warriors are lucky
they didn't have to face him in last year's postseason.
(33:46):
It's nice, refreshing to see someone make open shots. Now,
keep in mind, Murray was not making those open shots.
The first part of the game, he was getting open
looks and he was missing many of them, many of
them in the first three quarters of the game. Go
to the phones and we'll say, actually, well.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Hold off on the phones. Got it. We could call
on the other side.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'm on time, Malard, buy the clock for the clock,
plausibly all about the clock. We will have the We're
gonna have the equine pick them, the equine pick them.
Speaker 1 (34:16):

That's so offensive, so offensive. Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Let's see page down, page down. Malard prop guy says

correct answer.
Speaker 1 (37:01):

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, here's the way.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I will answer that, Areek, you don't want to be
the first person at a party. You want to be
fashionably late to the party. But I do plan on
being there on time. I don't think I'll get.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
There early, though.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Philly Robb's tribute account says big Brother Jake is the answer.
Bernard King from Shane in Des Moines, Justin in Cincinnati
says it's Prince big fan.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I see there, Prince clearly one.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Absolutely Mayor Parker the snow Dog going with Will the
Thrill Clark.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You knew that Mayor Parker would be listening. He's a
Denver sports legend. Eddie. Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with former Pirates, Rangers, and Mariners
outfielder Richie Zisk.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Interesting name. It's not correct, though, the correct answer to
the who.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
In my game?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I'm an MLB player batting.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
O twenty three in day games, not two fifty in
night games. I am Tony Kemp of the Athletics. He
was at cheating astro back of that he was coming
into Wednesday. He was oh for forty he's now one
for forty three, after Thursday, one for forty three or
after Wednesa, I should say won for forty three time.
Now for the Equine Pickam, the one hundred forty eighth
(38:39):
running of the Preakness Stakes, the run for the Black
Eyed Susans in Baltimore on Saturday. There's only gonna be
two rounds as only eight horses. At least the board
I'm looking at, there's only eight horses in the one
one hundred forty eighth running of the Preaking Stations. You
know this race was named after a horse that won
the first ever Bason pimlic We don't do that, yeah,
(39:03):
which means here's a fun fact that he which means
if a different horse than one, it could have been
called the other horses were ecliptic.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
We don't have time for fun facts. Now, all right,
I'm gonna go ut. I think I'm going first, right, No, Roberto,

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Already picked coffee with Chris.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
He wasn't listening. Chase a chaos
Hello and welcome. It's our na Bar one hour.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
And then also the fifth hour podcast is up for
today and we do a deep dive bow No hiccups,
or at least we now know more about hiccups, as
we have an expert in the area of hiccups talking
about what bo Jackson has been going through. He's been
suffering from chronic hiccups for about a year. About a year.
(01:16):
The baseball football legend Bo Jackson, so that we talked
about his situation on the Fifth Hour podcast today now
here in our number one of the radio show, Western
Conference Finals game number two, Lakers at the Nuggets. Who
gets the majority of the Lakers bacon wrapped? Blame dog
(01:37):
for this laws? What happened to that Laker defense against
Jamal Murray in the fourth quarter? And how is the
tale of the tape looking? What's the Malard report card?
After two games in the Western Finals, the Western Finals.
We'll talking about that and much more right now here.
(01:58):
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
On watch out for the falling nugget right on your head.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Well come, in the beginning of another edition of the
Benmathers Show. We are in the air everywhere, belly to

The way tire buying should be so our lead rather obvious.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Here a pro bouncy ball game in the Rocky Mountains,
another night of the Western Finals, and there it was
Game two. Now I was so exciting. Anthony Davis in
the Lakers. Remember the media elites told us that the
Lakers had figured out the Nuggets. And I think it
was Jeff Van Dundee over there on television who said
(03:22):
that the Nuggets were the ones that had to make
all the adjustments after Game one, that they were the
ones that were.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
In trouble and not the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
So clearly Denver the worst team that won game one
of an NBA playoff series.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Surely they were.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Gonna drown in Game two. And if you saw the game,
you know that did not happen. But perhaps you did
not watch the game, so we got you covered. It
was Murray time, Jamal Murray, little Murray Magic, a majestic
fourth quarter, scored thirty seven of the game, twenty three
(03:58):
in the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets storming back, and
they ended up char broiling Lebron and the Lakers down
the home stretch.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Aren't the Lakers the team that's supposed to win those games?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
They have the championship pedigrade, that's what everyone likes to
tell us. Lebron James the greatest of all time and
Anthony Davis. Okay, So they win close games, yes, well
two close games zero for two and Denver now up.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
To love and they control the home court.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Game three back skid row adjacent in the cesspool of
downtown Los Angeles at that dump that used to be
called Staple Center. So let us discuss the question, who
gets the majority of the Laker bacon rapped blame dog?
Now this is not to be confused with a blame pie.
(04:49):
This is totally different. Here, who gets the majority of
the Laker bacon rap blame.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Dog for this loss?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
So I have Indy Anna Jones, MythBusters, and Kryptonite, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a giant hole.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
A giant hole.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That's where Lebron is at the very bottom of that
giant hole in this series not over yet, but it
ain't looking good now. A to answer the question, we
give the biggest trunk of the bacon rap blame dog
to Lebron James, with an assist to Anthony Davis and
(05:38):
a special special clipping to D'Angelo Russell. So the Lakers
were leading this game, and they weren't blowing out Denver,
but they were up by eleven midway through the third quarter.
I was getting some text messages from historians that were
telling me that this is my worst nightmare, that the
(05:59):
Lakers had arrived, and that they couldn't wait to hear
my show and hear what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But I kept watching. I did not respond to these nimrods.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I kept watching and watching and watching, and the Nuggets
kept playing and playing and playing like the energizer Bunny.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They got more strength as the game.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Went on, and the Lakers, even though they had kept
the Nuggets at arm's length away from them for the
first part of the game, that eleven point lead midway
through the third quarter, that was the point of demarcation.
It reminded me of the Indiana Jones movies back in
the day.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Right the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Accidentally triggered a booby trap. They hit the booby trap
and that caused a system wide malfunction. They were at
malfunction junction and right there, and man, was that great
to watch? Did we not all enjoy that? Bravo good
win for America? There for the Denver Nuggets, a giant boulder.
(07:00):
I went hurling down an inescapable passage and the Lakers
were stuck there.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
And just like Indian Angels, you.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Saw the wall of crossbows that fired the moment the
Lakers touched that golden basketball. And then you had that
pit of spikes that was surrounded by pythons beneath a
carefully laid straw floor. All of the booby traps were there.
All of it happened. Lebron James, looking long in the tooth,
(07:30):
we said it, I said it. I don't take it back.
He looked old. What the heck happened to that second gear?
For King James, I'm asking for a friend. I'm asking
for a friend. So I'm gonna compartmentalize the game because
the turning point of the game was the eleven point
lead midway.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Through the third quarter.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
From that point forward, it was all Denver and Lebron James.
When the Lakers went up by eleven, the rest of
the game a quarter and a half, he shot less
than forty percent from the floor zero for four from downtown.
He also had a turnover. He is living up to
(08:12):
the nickname Lebrec. Is he a vampire? They called Russell
Westbrook a vampire when he played there because of all
the missed three point shots. Well, Lebron James is worse
than Russell Westbrook from outside. So how's that working out
for you? Put that in your pipe and smoke it,
and God bless Lebron.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Though.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I love the fact that he is so obtuse that
he continues to shoot three point shots. It's very reminiscent
of Westbrook, where teams are now leaving him wide open
and they are goating him to shoot from downtown and
he's such a dumb dumb that he keeps doing it.
It's a fascinating thing to watch here, it really is.
(08:51):
And then you had I would call it soul food
for the soul that Anthony Davis yet again guilty of truancy.
The final moment weren't terrible, but they were pedestrian for
Anthony Davis. When you think about what the hype is
on this guy, and he was blah for most of
the game. Wasn't his worst game ever, But I keep
going back to that final stretch last quarter and a half,
(09:14):
Lakers up eleven, and we talked about Lebron, how bad
he was. Well, Anthony Davis was even worse. He shot
below thirty percent, made only two of his final seven shots,
had three turnovers. And then you've got D'Angelo Russell, who
the Nuggets said, They said, how incompetent Russell is. We
(09:36):
hope the Lakers signed him to a lifetime country The
Nuggets after Game one said, this guy's a bum. They
explained exactly their game plan, and Russell went out and
sucked again. But he was really bad in the second
halfter one of three Lakers were outscored by fifteen points
with him on the court in that fateful booby trap situation.
(09:57):
And as a team, the Lakers took their final thirty
two field goal attempts, they somehow managed to miss nineteen
of them, nineteen of them. They were even worse from
three point land, and they shot twenty percent the last
quarter and a half. Now, Page two, How was Jamal
Murray to circumnavigate? How was he able to circumnavigate and
(10:21):
exploit what many of the NBA upper crust tell me
is the top defense of the NBA.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
The Laker defense. Well, see, this.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Is one of those little problems that we have the
reality and then you have the narrative, and the narrative
is one thing the reality if you actually watched the
games and pay attention, the Lakers are not if they're
the top defensive.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Team, No one plays defense in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Jamal Murray, the way I looked at it, all he
did was take advantage of great looks that he missed
early in the game. He kept perseverance in his bag
of tricks there. But he got in the old big
rig and he kept on trucking and play MythBusters if
you want. I don't mind playing MythBusters. But the Lakers are.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Over raighted over rated.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
As a defensive team. How many times did in the
Golden State Series did Klay Thompson miss wide open three
point looks? How many times did Steph Curry miss clear
looks at the basket?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, Jamal Murray missed.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
He looked like Klay Thompson light in the first three
quarters of this game, missing open looks, and then down
the stretch, the same ratty defense by the Lakers, no
hands in the face, no body on the offensive player,
and Jamal Murray, a fine Canadian lad put up the
(11:44):
Mona Lisa. It was a Mona Lisa. He finished in
last nine shots he took.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He was eight of nine. That is eighty eight.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Point nine percent, which is also a college college radio station,
if those things still exist. But from from downtown. In
the final eighteen minutes, the Nuggets as a team were
ten of nineteen. They shot fifty one percent. But Jamal Murray,
he scored more than half, more than half of the
(12:14):
Nuggets final fifty one points. It was a wild ride
and he was the one that was the conductor with
a wink and a nod the Michael Porter Junior and
Bruce Brown who each contributed varying degrees of big baskets there.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So it was a regal performance for Denver.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
We mentioned how good they shot as a team, but
most of that was Murray down the stretch. All right,
last word here, So what is the report card? This
is the not the midterm report card, but the report
card at this point between the Lakers and the Nuggets
after two games. We have observed so the Mallord grading
(12:58):
book reads like this. Denver gets a B plus, the
Lakers get a D minus. On the Malther grading book,
and here's how I broke down the.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Grading.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So the Nuggets have shown that they are clearly at
a higher plane than the Lakers in these first two games,
but they only get a B plus because they haven't
played a complete game yet, and yet they're up two
games to love, which is tells you how much better
they are than the other team. Denver was dominant in
the first half of Game one. They led up in
(13:34):
the fourth quarter of Game one, and dumb people said
that the Lakers had figured out the Nuggets. Those dumb
people include Jeff Van Gundy and a number of pundits
who are up Lebron James Tukas. The Lakers get a
D minus because they have double trouble.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Not only do they have problems in the rear view mirror,
they have problems out the front of the car, right
out the windshield. They have to win four the next five.
And you and I know we can guarantee every man,
woman and child who watches basketball knows Anthony Davis is
guaranteed to be lethargic in at least three of the
final five games. So therefore, the Lakers are gonna have
(14:15):
to win four of the next five, knowing that Anthony
Davis is going to be deadweight for the majority of
those games. And Lebron did he not show krypton it?
Maybe my television was broken and you can correct.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Me on this now. I thought I saw it. Maybe
I didn't. Maybe I didn't.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I thought I saw Lebron James butterfinger James fumbling away
a windmill hammer dunk out of bounds. And did he
not also air mail a reverse layup as well?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I mean, maybe I didn't see it. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I was a little groggy. But all of this is
encouraging for the Nuggets. You get back the back games
where the MVP late in the game didn't do much
of anything. He was a decoy down the stretch. And
in this game, Nikola Jokic was zero for four in
the fourth quarter, put up a goose egg zippo. I
(15:15):
guess that Laker defense they figured out Nikola Yokis. Now
they gotta figure out Jamal Murray. Good luck on that.
But the Nuggets won anyway. So two games in a row,
Jokic hasn't been great in the fourth quarter and Denver
wins them anyway. Wow, And the other takeaway I have
is when you get a game officiated fairly, there's not
(15:36):
bias from the NBA, the Lakers can't win.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
They can't win.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
We saw two games in a row where the officiating
was fair and balanced and the Lakers lose both. You
know what has to happen here for the Lakers to
get back into this series. I don't need to say it.
I think you know what needs to happen. Lakers just
don't match up and so Big Brother might need to
come down there. Got to bring in the fixer'll figure
out what's going on here because it ain't working right now.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Man alive. But one of all Denver needs.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
They got to win one one of the next two
to really put the gay the series on ice.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But they just do that.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Whether it's Game three on Saturday, of course I'll be busy.
I'll be at the Mallard meet and greet. So I mean,
we might have it on there, but don't I don't know.
We might not have it on I have no idea anyway.

Taris to pro bouncy ball as the Denver Nuggets a
couple wins away from a date in the NBA Finals,
and I knew when Russell Wilson went to Denver that
good times will be coming for Denver sports fans.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Did not see this one on the radar.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Thomas in the five to one three Rights In says
checking in live, packing the head to see the daughter
graduate college a plus on the maland monologue on Labam

Shane in de Moines says Ben is mister Shatner invited
to the meet and greet in Minnesota. Is anyone not
welcome like Kyler doc rivers Albouve. Well, we will have
some muscle at the door to make sure the riff
raft does not get in.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Shane and the Wine.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But I don't know that we have anyone who we've
ostracized from the event. But if Spats with Shats wants
to make an appearance, go ahead. Coop Daddy writes and
says he plus on the mouth of the monologue, this
series should legitimately be a sweep, if all is fair.
I felt like the Joker was playing at seventy percent
and still came out with a win, Brody writes, and
(19:26):
he says the Lakers committed basketball malpractice so far as
this series. If a tool is broken and you don't
use that tool to get the job done, the tool
that's broken is the three point shot.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
They need to get their points in the paint and
have a ninety conversion rate. So he has so he says,
that's a listener, Brody throwing that out mark. The walker
is wandering around.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
He says, he's getting some good miles in while watching
the PGA.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
At Oak Hill just down the street. Have a good night. Well,
we're doing fine.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
We'll have to a fine start on the show at
this particular point, and we'll take.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Your phone calls.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixth nine.
They did enjoy the ranting and raving of the Denver
Nuggets head coach Michael Malone, who was incensed.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
I think that's the right word incensed. I got very
upset with the the media.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
At least, he admits that he does pay attention to
media consumption and seemed to be genuinely surprised by the
media coverage taken aback aghast a guffaw from Michael Malone,
and I don't think we have the out I didn't
get any audio on the game, but Michael Malone said.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You win game one is a quote.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
You win game one of the playoffs, and all everybody
talked about was the Lakers. Malone stated, Let's be honest,
that was a national narrative, not on this show. Now
we're the outline. That's why we're doing the overnight. We're
not part of the mainstream. And I was part of
the mainstream. Do you realize if I was part of
the mainstream media, I would right now have to massage
Lebron James ankle. I would have to massage the man's ankle,
(21:14):
because that's the national narrative, he says. Malone says, the
Lakers were fine, they were down one zero, but they
figured something out.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
This was so stupid. This is one of the all
time dumb, the dumb, dumb, dumb media narratives.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Malone quote continued, No One talked about that Nicola Yocchet
a historic performance. He got thirteen triple doubles. Now blah
blah blah blah blah. The narrative wasn't about Nicola. The
narrative is about the Lakers and their adjustments. So you
put that in your pipe and smoke it. Michael Malone stated,
you come back and you know what we're going.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Up two oh soy.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Congratulations, congratulations of that. But I hate to be the
bearer of bad news because I've seen this before. This
is not my first trip to the circus. When the
Nuggets beat the Lakers and Denver is the better team
and barring some kind of injury or you know, shenanigans
from the NBA League office with the referee, but if
everything's played on the up and up and there are
(22:12):
no major injuries for the Nuggets, then Denver clearly wins
this series. But I will promise you the hours after
the series ends, it will not be looking ahead to
the NBA Finals, the Nuggets finally breaking through getting of
the NBA Finals. It will not be that, no, no, no,
It'll be what moves can Lebron make to improve the
(22:33):
Lakers rust? Early offseason will the Lakers go don't get
player X. That's going to be the narrative one hundred percent.
I'll bet you one thousand dollars of fake radio money
that that will be the there if some version of
that narrative will be the narrative when this particular series
does come to an end and the Lakers lose. Let's
go to the phones. Mark is up first. He's in
(22:54):
La La Land. Hello, Mark, Welcome. You were on the
Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
So Mallor, I know you're basking in the glow of
a Laker lost, but I got news for you. Lakers
are still gonna win this series. I'll give you a
couple of Bolton points. You're the Nuggets, all the pressures
on them, there's the number one seed, they have the
time MVP. Objectively speaking, they have the better roster and
the head coach. So with all that being set, you
were the best home team and the Lakers played the
(23:21):
Sea game. You dominated both home games and it took
him down to the wires the last minute. Objectively, the
Lakers could have won one, if not both, of these games.
So if you're Denver, you're very nervous because you dominated
home and you right now.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
And Nicole, he's biting his fingernails in the corner. He's
so nervous right now, he's a nervous Here's another thing.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
The Nuggets don't play well on the road. I'm gonna
be at games three. Lakers are gonna come out and
put a stop a mud hole in their asses. De
Low plays a lot better, you know, a d finally
gonna get his head together. The role players better than Crypto.
They don't lose in the playoffs at home, so they're
gonna win both games at home, and you know, to
be a best of three. And we know how the
Nuggets have come up short. And it's gonna happen again.
(24:04):
Because what's gonna happen is.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Yeah, of course, because because nothing because hey, hey, dummy,
nothing ever changes.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
This is the most pathetic pep talk of a phone
call I've ever taken in the last couple of years.
What are you doing? You're doing, you're doing, you're doing?
You just did could have? Should have? Would have?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
You Your defense is could have, should have, would have
could have should have would.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
Have tight tight.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You know what you sound like to me?
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You sound like someone who knows it's over. You sound
to me like somebody who has an upset stomach. You've
got indigestion right now, you are mentally exhausted.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
You are about to have an emotional collapse.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
You you you sound like someone right now that is
very concerned. There's a four alarm fire and you're the
building is burning up right now, there's an inferno. They
get to the final, they know they've never won anything
with Lebron James, nothing zero, as we have seen this series.
When when you actually have to go against opposing fans
(25:10):
in Denver, see they played the Nuggets in that Gaysey bubble,
there was no altitude, there were no opposing fans, and
the Lakers have played.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Like absolute altitude.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
God getting all right, I know you've got nausey over there,
Cooper loop and you're depressed and all that and distressed,
but hey, uh that's the way this works.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
The altitude was a factor, Ben, I don't know. The
altitude was a factor in the fourth court. Altitude was
a fester.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
He looked like he had abdominal paint stopped Lebron James, Like.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Maybe it's because he's old. Now you ever think that.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
The altitude thing is like the most blown, Like you know,
blown up, over blown.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Thing changed, My position started to evolve. My position ridiculous.
And Coop, you sound also very concerned. Here you're in
a funk, and.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
I was more some concerned. We're down two, you're screwed.
Admit it right now, you a little wueezy. Come on,
admit it.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
No, I'm not queasy, No, come on, it's look, it's
I'm yeah, of course I'm concerned.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
If you're down oh two, and you're not concerned, you're
you're dumb. But the guy's not concerned, he's fine.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
He said the series isn't over those well, no, they
gotta win two more games, but they will.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It'll win too more.
Speaker 6 (26:23):
Well, you also said that the Warriors would win in five,
and then the Grizzlies winning six, and so.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Thompson Thompson was looking about his father, is what he
was doing. Klay Thompson's for Michael Thompson, like a.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Radio hack or whatever. So there you go.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Anyway, all right, it's a great night. Everyone's happy in
the country. All sports fans are are happy. The evil
Lakers lost again in the playoffs. The good guys, the
Denver Nuggets won, so we're happy about that. The freemason
at work and the excuse machine being cranked up. We've
got that, and everyone's friend is is the doc as well.
(27:01):
But right now, let's get over to the Sporting News
desk and well, no, it's actually it's not surely it's
it's steamboat Willie. And that's Eddie Garcia, the Notcho Daddy
to get you caught up on all the games.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Of note y'all packed up and ready for your your
big trip? Ready, got anything ready to go?
Speaker 2 (27:23):
I'm not I do it the last minute, as you know, Eddie,
Why would I know that prepared. We've been on many
road trips, you know, the company sends us on the
road all the time, so we've been all over.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Never actually been on the road trip with you, but really,
if you want to go, Actually, I'm actually surprised by
that that you're a last second packer guy, because you're
so you know, you're so overly prepared for your shows
and stuff. I figure that maybe that you were that
way in your personal life.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Well, if I would like to travel like our friend
Rob Parker. Rob doesn't even take any Yeah, like Rob
Fly's Spirit Airlines and he just wears the clothes on
his back. And then he'll buy some clothes when he
gets to the city and then leave him.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That's the way to travel. I don't know. It's a
little weird.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
Actually it's a lot weird.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
He saves a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Really by taking his clothes and leading.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Spirit airlines is cheap.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
It's just if you actually want to, you know, take
a package with your bag or something like that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Or I think they charge for seatbelts. I believe so
they might.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (28:28):
Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball.
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.
We talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell
you stories. You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
I think you like it.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
So we're still waiting in the NBA for them to
hand out the punish meant to Memphis Grizzly star John Moran.
But Nike has apparently handed down a form of punishment
as well as they have removed Jahn Morant's shoe from
their website.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, I saw that the vanishing sneaker. I'm not a
shoe guy. There's a lot of guys that are into
like shoes, that collect shoes. I don't think so he
was the biggest shoe guy ever. I think Bobo left
the company. Well he's working somewhere else in the company,
but now with us. But yeah, the Nike app no
longer has Jahn Morant's sneaker that it was supposed to
(29:34):
be released soon. And I'm told they people over there
at the Swoosh did the same thing with Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You remember Kyrie when.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
He was supporting anti Semitism movies there on his platform.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Nike did the same thing.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
They removed Kyrie Irvings shoe before they terminated Kyrie's contract.
So it would appear it's heading that direction that Nike
gave John Morant one chance and they're not going to
give him another opportunity. So it appears, all right, Spen

Speaker 1 (30:27):
So this is outstanding. The excuse machine being cranked up
for Lebron.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
James and people in the NBA media convinced that the
reason Lebron struggled late in the game was because of
an ankle, a bum ankle. He suffered a peer to
suffer an injured ankle. There during the game, he stepped
on Anthony Davis's foot, and Lebron was ineffective overall. He
(30:55):
was nine of nineteen, but we missed a bunch of shots,
as we documented earlier hour down the stretch, and and
so they're saying, well, Lebron's like, well, I should be
fine for game three.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
It should be okay. Nothing is going to keep him,
he said from playing in game three, which.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
To me sounds like twenty four hour around the clock
in depth team coverage breathless reporting Lebron getting around the
clock treatment on his ankle, hopeful of being able to
play there are doubts, you know, that typical thick drama
bull crap.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
The NBA does with every injury.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
I expect to hear about Lebron's ankle if you pay
attention to this stuff for the next couple of days.
And the historic suckage of Lebron James is next level. Now,
remember I talked about the guy. We just talked to
a guy Mark in LA who sounds like he's having
a nervous breakdown because his Lakers season scrumbling apart, and
certainly sounded like he's giving himself a pep talk. One
(31:53):
of the reasons he needs to give himself a pep talk,
Lebron James has now missed in the fourth quarter of
playoff games nineteen straight three point shots in the fourth
quarter of playoff games. That goes back to Game two
of the first round against the Grizzlies. If that sounds
like a lot, If that sounds like a ridiculous amount
(32:13):
of consecutive missed three point shots in the fourth quarter
of playoff games, that is because this is another feather
in the cap of Lebron. No one has sucked this
bad in the fourth quarter from downtown in an entire generation,
in an entire generation is twenty five years, and we
(32:35):
are told it has been that long, longest streak by
any player the last twenty five post seasons. So a
historical sucking from Lebron James from downtown. And then, of
course you hear the usual nonsense like Austin Reeves supporting Lebron,
(32:55):
saying let him shoot all he wants. You know what,
you know who agrees with that? The Denver Nuggets, they
agree with that. Yes, Michael Malone says, please in the
fourth quarter, have the man shoot.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Let the man shoot.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Lebron, go Lebron, go downtown, Lebron, over.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
And over, because he's due. He is due.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Berg Dog writes, and he says, I guess the only
thing left to ask is do you think Denver wants
to end the series in Game four? Four games rather
go to the gentleman's sweep. I don't think the Lakers
have any say in the matter. Late Night Drug tester says,
the way Jamal Murray played tonight, the Warriors are lucky
they didn't have to face him in last year's postseason.
(33:46):
It's nice, refreshing to see someone make open shots. Now,
keep in mind, Murray was not making those open shots.
The first part of the game, he was getting open
looks and he was missing many of them, many of
them in the first three quarters of the game. Go
to the phones and we'll say, actually, well.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Hold off on the phones. Got it. We could call
on the other side.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
I'm on time, Malard, buy the clock for the clock,
plausibly all about the clock. We will have the We're

Speaker 1 (34:16):

(36:44):
Bart tossed out by Malibu Rubin Chief Wahoo from alf

Speaker 1 (36:50):
That's so offensive, so offensive. Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Let's see page down, page down. Malard prop guy says
that's easy. The count John Montafuse let go is the
correct answer.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Hates day games. Hates day games, of course he does.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
Ty Wigginton from Chris in De Moines, Conway Twitty from Calligan,
Tim and Michigan. Scott in Rhode Island's going with Nancy
Pelosi at the Open Bar or something like that. Reek

Mallard time, we should expect you to show up at

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Well, here's the way.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
I will answer that, Areek, you don't want to be
the first person at a party. You want to be
fashionably late to the party. But I do plan on
being there on time. I don't think I'll get.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
There early, though.
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Philly Robb's tribute account says big Brother Jake is the answer.
Bernard King from Shane in Des Moines, Justin in Cincinnati
says it's Prince big fan.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
I see there, Prince clearly one.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Absolutely Mayor Parker the snow Dog going with Will the
Thrill Clark.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
You knew that Mayor Parker would be listening. He's a
Denver sports legend. Eddie. Do you have an answer, Eddie?
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with former Pirates, Rangers, and Mariners
outfielder Richie Zisk.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Interesting name. It's not correct, though, the correct answer to
the who.
Speaker 4 (38:16):
In my game?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
I'm an MLB player batting.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
O twenty three in day games, not two fifty in
night games. I am Tony Kemp of the Athletics. He
was at cheating astro back of that he was coming
into Wednesday. He was oh for forty he's now one
for forty three, after Thursday, one for forty three or
after Wednesa, I should say won for forty three time.
Now for the Equine Pickam, the one hundred forty eighth
(38:39):
running of the Preakness Stakes, the run for the Black
Eyed Susans in Baltimore on Saturday. There's only gonna be
two rounds as only eight horses. At least the board
I'm looking at, there's only eight horses in the one
one hundred forty eighth running of the Preaking Stations. You
