Fifth Hour Podcast with me Ben Mallar. It's available where
(00:44):
you're listening to this podcast and wherever you get your podcast.
So we start with pro Bouncy Ball CP three traded
to the Warriors. Say what what are your initial takeaways
from Chris Paul going to Golden State? Why did Chris
Paul pick the Warriors? And he could have gone anywhere,
I could have gotten any of the teams that were mentioned,
(01:05):
but he chose to go there. How is the future
of the Golden State Warriors franchise looking at this point,
and how will Jordan Poole do in Washington. We'll talk
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number one an appalling transaction wel gobe and not
(01:25):
beginning of another edition of the band Malor show. As
we navigate through the debris field in the air everywhere
audio frequency the battle begins now coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and super abundantly
(01:46):
powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from the fireside.
The fireside chat we are broadcasting live from the ti

(02:09):
The way the tire buying should be so our lead.
This hour will start out with pro bouncy ball, but
not the NBA Draft. I was minding my p's and
q's there and I was trying to stay awake as
the NBA draft was going on, But it didn't really
(02:29):
matter because the news happened before the NBA draft. The
draft was upstaged by the training post. Is that the
wrong take I don't think that's the wrong take. Sorry
not sorry to Wemby. Yeah, number one pick not talking
about him right now. We'll save that for later. You
gotta sit in the back seat because the headliner on
(02:51):
the move. If you have not heard, maybe not. We
have learned that the Wizards have used some sorcery. They
put a on the Warriors and they have agreed to
trade Chris Paul. So the talk wasn't gonna buy Chris
Paul out? Well, no, they found a sucker to take
(03:12):
Chris Paul, and the sucker is Golden State. These are
your daddy's Golden State Warriors now as Chris Paul, the
washed up rodden carcass of Chris Paul heading from Washington,
although he never actually played for the Wizards, but his
contract briefly belonged to Washington, and he goes to the
Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole. It's a
(03:37):
pool party. The future draft assets also going back to Washington.
So this is a much different, much different way to
look at the Bradley Beal trade, as this is the
third leg on the Bradley Beal trade, but the draft
compensation a bunch of first round picks fights. I'm getting
old because twenty thirty. They traded a pick in twenty thirty,
(04:00):
doesn't that that seems like it's a long way away.
It's actually not that long away. We're not that far
away from twenty thirty, holy crap. And a second round
pick in twenty twenty seven, which also feels like it
should be far away. It's not that far away. There
were some other picks and somebody you never heard of
who was also traded, So let us discuss low. Don't
bear the lead, my man, all right, We're not gonna
(04:21):
bury the lead. So what is your initial takeaway from
Chris Paul? Going to the Warriors, not the Lakers, not
the Clippers, the Warriors. So I've got Howie Mandel, Pirouett
and old Western, and holy moly, we're gonna do a
wellness check on all the die hard Dubbs fans to
(04:44):
call the show from the Bay Area. We'll see how
they're doing there. Probably not well at this point, all right,
So a golden state. To answer the question, what is
your takeaway initially from Chris Paul? Go to Wars the
report card. The male of report card is a D.
That's a D. For Golden State and somewhere and I
(05:04):
don't know where, probably in northern California, the GM Bob
Myers is sitting down having a glass of Scotch and
smiling ear to ear cheshire cat smile from ear to
ear because he is the guy that sold the house
before the sinkhole swallowed up the Warriors, in this case
(05:24):
Jordan Poole. And then there's somewhere else in the Warrior
offices and the bowels of the Golden State Warriors headquarters
were Mike Dunleavy Junior. His first act is the general manager. There.
He is right now raiding the mini bar wowsers right
and essentially playing Howie Mandell on this one a game
(05:47):
show that was popular a few years back, Deal or
No Deal. Dun Levy picked suitcase number thirty eight. The
banker called him up and said, I've got a sweetheart
offer here. Don't take number thirty eight, and don Levy said, no, Dale,
and he pushed the button down there nodal, and instead
(06:10):
he chose case number thirty eight. That is CP three,
and likely that means that Draymond Green will be part
of this. So they take CP three and Draymond Green over,
Jordan Poole, you are not a millionaire now. Chris Paul
is a millionaire. He's also thirty eight years old. And
his best days were in the rear view mirror, or
(06:32):
are in the rear mirror, Chris Paul Hall of Fame career.
All that best days were in Lob City with the
clips and ballhawk. He's a guy that is not going
to seed possession of the basketball. He loves to hold
the ball. CEP three can open also in addition to
holding the ball a long time, he can also open
(06:54):
his own Italian eatery. He's had so many meatball surgeries
over the years. He's undependable. You can't really this guy.
And that's the guy Golden State's betting on. That's the
guy now. All that said, clearly, Chris Paul picked the Warriors.
He could have chosen the Clippers, thank god he didn't,
or the Lakers. That would have been fun for us.
(07:16):
But instead he thinks he's found his casa blanca and
he's gonna go into Golden State and cherry pick a championship.
And will that work as well as it did for
Karl Malone back in the day when he latched on
to the end of the Laker train. Jude Jeu. Yeah,
good luck. So Chris Paul, despite playing the same exact
(07:38):
position as Steph Curry, will beyond the Warriors and he
will be asked to slide over to slide shuffle and
you are now Jordan Poole. You will get the minute
Jordan Poole had and you will be the third wheel
and you will play with Curry and Klay Thompson splish splash. Boy,
(07:59):
is that a bad Chris will be a liability on
defense when he plays. And that's just the reality and
the thing of this. Like the Dubs, even though they're
getting older now, boy, they getting old by NBA standards,
But the Dubs are a premium brand Lego. You know,
your kid, you want Legos? And then CP three is
like a Nano block, Like, well, no, mom, I wanted
(08:20):
the Lego. No, you got a Nano block. Deal with it, kid, Yeah,
that's the Nano At this point, he's a niblock. He
used to be a Lego, He's a Nano block. Now
he's a ripoff version of Lego. All right? Now, Page two,
Why did the Warriors trade Jordan Pool so you do
not have to be Woje or Shams. To know why
(08:41):
they did this, you just have to have a pulse.
The Warriors were coerced into trading Jordan Poole. Draymond Green
opted out of his contract recently, and it was either
Draymond Way or the highway, and they chose Draymond and
they sent Jordan Poole on the win a Muckle Road,
(09:05):
the Dusty Winnemucker Road. And so Golden State has picked
the Green team over the kiddie pool. And Draymond right
now on his podcast is doing a Vince McMahon power walk,
strutting down the runway and he's gonna do a pirouette
and then he's gonna flex because Draymond Green, he hasn't
re signed with the Warriors yet, but it would be
(09:26):
a stunner if he does not go back to the
Warriors because of this move. That is a dead giveaway.
They think anyway that Draymon's coming back. And so the
Warriors they conceded to their player, their longtime player, who
has more value to them than anywhere else, and Draymond
wins the Cold War. You could say that Draymond Green
(09:47):
punched Jordan Poole twenty eight hundred miles across the continental
United States from San Francisco to Washington, DC. That's a
hell of a punch. That is quite the punch. So
how is the future of the Golden State franchise looking so?
Short term, the Warriors are going to be the old
(10:09):
Geezer Bandits of the NBA, right, The old Geezer Bandit
is there, but that's only going to last two to
three years tops, and after that things are going to
become very damp and it'll bring back memories. You'll harken
back twenty plus years ago when Eric damp Here and
Antoine Jamison and Larry Hughes were the headliners. Can they
(10:31):
find Dave Cowen somewhere? I don't know if he's still
around the Warriors even be the coach the Warriors wanted
a couple of years ago. They wanted to be the Spurs.
They were convinced that they had figured out how to
solve the Rubik's Cube of the NBA, just like San
Antonio tanked and then they got Tim Duncan after they
tanked to get David Robinson, and the Warriors are like, okay,
(10:54):
we got the same set up here. They had the
terrible year, Curry got hurt and they got the number
two in the draft, and instead of being the Spurs,
it turns out they're going to be the bad boy Pistons.
If you're old enough to remember that, they had Isaiah
Thomas and Joe Dumars and they kept them and they
kept them until they rotted, and they still kept them
(11:19):
and they were ineffective, and they continued to toss them
out on the court because the plan was, if you
look at the blueprint, the plan was the future building
blocks that were going to continue to push forward the
glory days of the Warriors. Jordan Pool was the be
all everything guard and James Weisman was the big man
(11:40):
that was the next generation. They were going to take
the baton and go for it. And unless I'm mistaken,
and maybe you can touch up my work here, Golden
State gave away Jordan Poole and James Weisman, the two
players that were supposed to be the continuation players for
the return of Gary Payton the second and Chris Paul
(12:02):
and his walker. That is what they did. Tremendous basketball
move by the Golden State Warriors. Bravo, Bravo. I look
forward to watching you free fall in the standings of
the Western Conference. It's like they're being run by a
drunken sailor over there. All right, now, last word, So,
how will Jordan Poole do in Washington? I'm glad you
(12:25):
asked so. On the Malard report card, I'm gonna update
my grade with the new information I have. I hammered
the wizards the other day. I whipped him. Alright, what
are you doing? I like the trade. I like this
part of the trade. I give him an a minus.
I'm fair, Hi, I'm waving my magic wand I'm giving
them an a minus on the matter of report card.
(12:47):
Good job, all right, And for Jordan Poole, it's not
great for him. He gets to keep moving on with
his NBA career. They give him the keys to the
Sorcerer's workshop. He's got his own magic hat box and
all that. And Jordan Poole will be starring in a
remake of an old Western, playing the role of the
(13:08):
lone Ranger. And that means you can shoot early, you
can shoot often as much as your heart desires. No
one will care. You can play the role. Bradley Beal's gone.
You play his role. Jordan Poole can average thirty shots
a game and thirty points per game. Just keep shooting
(13:29):
and destroy the rim. Blow it to smithereens. Just knock
yourself out there, and he will also be popping up
at the grocery store on the back of milk cartons.
Because outside of fantasy hoops players and gamblers and maybe
our friend the Ostrich who lives in the greater Washington,
DC area, there outside of him and maybe one other person,
(13:51):
and nobody else is gonna notice. But at least I'm
gonna be Benny Brightside for Jordan Poole. At least he'll
be away from the workplace violence that he had to
deal with with the Warrior franchise. And if Draymond Green
had been in the shoes of one of the lesser players,
he would have been let go by the worst, but
(14:12):
he was too VALUABLEY couldn't let him go. But we
would like to thank also Golden Stats serious and I'm
goofing on the Warriors here because I think it's a
terrible trade and they're incompetent, but I would like to
thank them because they won the Chris Paul Sweepstakes, which
meant the Clippers did not bring back Chris Paul. So
good job by you. You win the white Elephant of
the NBA offseason. Congratulations, I hope you enjoy it. Good luck.
(14:37):
Now I am a little upset because I was hoping
Chris Paul is gonna end up with the Lakers. I'm
bummed out he's not. I would have liked to have
seen him run that franchise completely into the ground because
they've already got old man James over there, but did
not happen. So now we'll have to watch Chris Paul
take down the Golden State Warriors. And I can't wait
to read the story online. It's just bad luck. I
(14:59):
can't believe Chris Paul got hurt again, is gonna miss
the postseason for the Warriors. Hopefully he'll come back for
Game eighteen of the seven game series if it goes
that far. Okay, it is the Banett Malord Show. You
want to comment on any of that, you can hammer
away here. The lines are open and the easiest time
to get through is at the beginning of the show.
(15:21):
The lines fill up and then becomes harder and harder.
The degree of difficulty goes up, up, up and away
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
six six three sixty nine. A rather mundane NBA draft.
We'll talk more about the draft a little bit later.
It was rather mundane, but there was one particular thing
(15:43):
that stood out, and it was a song. The boo
birds were.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Chirping booooooo booooooooo.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
There was one pick in particular that got the full
boot treatment. It was Boots Pastic and we will highlight
that we have great audio for that as well, and
we will do it next.

I have, Like I love pizza. You can't mess pizza up.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You know what I'm saying that that's not true. Yes
you can't if you have pizza Pizza, No off California Pizza.
That's weak.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Honestly, Like, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
There are better pizzas, but I don't think like if
you handed me, you know, five dollars Caesar's Little Pizza,
I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, my tastes like cardboard, but I'm gonna eat it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, that's why they can charge fifty cents for pizza.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But you know what I'm saying, Like I will happily
enjoy that. But I do like Detroit style pizza. I
like sauce.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You're very saucy. Yeah, that's good sauce. No, Like I'm
going I'm going to New York. You know, I got
to visit my brothers in New York. So like he always,
he always takes me as a great pizza places, and
I'm like, I don't really think they're that good, you know,
like like like a Chicago it's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You want a deep dish? Yeah, stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, I'm a deep dish kind of guy, but I don't.

it's not much better than like Kirkland brand pizza. Costco
give me.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I hear what I get?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I do like a Costco slice of pizza. That's
a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I'm sure I could find pizza that you would want
to vomit if you ate it.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I mean, that's not the goal here, Ben, we don't
want to. We don't trying to find pizza's.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The goal was to try to find why Eddie's not
here and maybe Detroit style fay. Other day's day. It
is a pink Flamingo day on Friday.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Well that's fun.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
How do you sell You put a pink flamingo in
your lawn? Is that how you?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I think I need a boa or something that's po Here's.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
An outdated holiday. It's it's typewriter Day. Did you ever
use a typewriter?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I did, in fact about maybe like five years ago.
I went to a wedding and they had a typewriter
where you could leave them a message.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I used like fifteen sheets.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Of paper because I kept messing up, but eventually I
got it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It was fun, it was I thought it was very sweet.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Typewriters are collectibles.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yes, you have to type emphatically.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When you use a typewriter, you have to.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You have to really use like you one fingers, like
you can't.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You can't, you know, like like a keyboard. Yeah, but
you do actually feel more like a grown up though.
When you use the typewriter, right, it feels like you're
a boss.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Right, the most adult I've ever felt.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, using a regular keyboard in a computer you do
not feel that way anyway. What's good to have you, Montai?
I think this is your Every four months you show,
is that about right? Feel cycle through once every four month.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I have to fight. I have to fight to be here.
Me and Ben, Me and Ben, me and a Brian Fenley.
We have to fight it.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
He wants to be here. He pretends he does it,
but we have to fight it out.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Hey, at least we had to go to HR last
time he was here, So we'll just leave that alone.
Jason Jason in Kansas City right says eight out of
ten on the mall of monologue, Man Jordan Poole became
the sacrificial lamb off to keep Draymond green. Is it
going to be worth it? No, Chris Paul can continue
his run of ruining Western Conference teams playoff chances. That
(20:09):
is from Jason John Wright, since it is driving home
from a pub trivia again. All right, I hope you
won John from pub trivia there. Oh, I guess he
said he got last place. Well, that's very depressing. You
got last place. Here you go, He says. Avenue Pizza
in Somerville the best Detroit pizza near Boston. He says,
(20:29):
they love us in Boston. No, when I was in Boston,
I got Vinnie. I lost a bet, so I had
to buy Vinnie. I came one of my trips to Boston.
I had to buy Vinnie and his buddies in the
neighborhood dinner. And so they took me to San Tarpios.
They said, that's the place in a You gotta go
to San Tarpio's. That's pretty good. It was like an
old time pizzeria, and I had that old pizzaia vibe and.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
It.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Don't you hate when somebody is like, oh, this is
gonna be so good, you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you go and you're like, it was fine. It
probably would have been if you wouldn't have told me it.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Was that good exactly. Yea. The key that, no, No,
the key to life is to not have high expectations
in anything. Seriously, That's what I tell the bosses here
at Fox. Do not expect the show to be good.
If the show's good, if the show's ever good, that's
a that's a blessing. I just expected to suck. And
then if it's good, that's okay. If you have expectations
of sucking, then that's what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
That's good advice there. The show is over goods.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The great way to live your life, Ferg Dog writes
in he says, what will history remember as the day
the Warriors dynasty ended? When Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole,
or when they desperately traded for a washed up car
insurance salesman says Ferg Dog? Who else you have? Jordan
writes in he says, f minus on the Malad monologue. Unfortunately,
(21:47):
we tune in to listen to you talk about sports,
not basketball. How dare you? There are people triggering, but
I do basketball monologues, Mancie. There's people out there. These
guys need their therapy dogs. They cannot handle pro bouncy
ball talking. Very upset.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I like your pro bouncy talk.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Oh there, he goes a vote of confidence.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I do. I mean I enjoyed your Rob Manford yesterday.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Man fraud. Yeah, how great is that? That was okay,
Rob Manford. And it's good timing because the Astros are
heading into Dodger Stadium this weekend, so that'll be that'll
be red meat in the Dodgers Den for the fans. Anyway,
they're all worked up for the A holes, so that'll
be fun at Dodger Stadium this weekend. Matt the Warrior
Raider a's fan rights in He says nine out of
(22:30):
ten of the Malle monologue, I have no idea what
the Warriors are doing. Between this and the A's nonsense,
I am a broken and beaten man. We haven't even
reached the point in the sports calendar where the Raiders
kicked me in the balls. Yes, yes, well, Matt you
are one of the people I thought of you. You
you and Alameda Lou were the two guys I thought,
oh boy, what's going on with these two knuckleheads, these
(22:53):
two diehard warrior fans. Now he got Chris Paul. And
see that's what you get because you guys were busting
my chop all you guys would, Oh, Chris Paul's gonna
go back to the Clippers. He's gold buck and in
your face, in your face, chipping the qu'es rights and
says a plus on the monologue. I can relate to
your relief over the Clippers not getting Chris Paul back.
I was very worried my Rockets might do that as well.
(23:17):
I want no part of that for the Rockets. That
goes for James Harden as well. Yeah, that hardened stuff
is cool down. That seemed all hot and heavy a
couple of weeks back that he was gonna go back
to the Rockets, And now now that's that's gone away,
Johnny writes in he says, I found this relic and
(23:38):
for Throwback Thursday, I wore and he's wearing an old
Mallard Nation shirt that we had years ago that shirt
goes back probably ten I bet more than ten years.
That's an old school shirt right there. That's old that's
old country. I gotta make another one. I made one
for the Mallard Meat and greet in Minnesota. People seem
to like it. They enjoyed it, hollering. James loved it.
(23:58):
He put you know, he slobbered food all over there
at the at the restaurant, so he definitely loved it.

pm Pacific time, he tweeted this. Why would he tweet this?
Damian Lillard has an had any recent communication with the
Portland Trailblazers involving the draft, free agency, or his future.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Why would he tweet that at ten pm one a m.
Eastern time?
Speaker 1 (25:09):

That's why.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's the worst take ever when it's late. I need
this kind of stuff. Normally only stuff we get in

I need or people getting arrested. I need some gossip.
I need gossip.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Okay, you're right, maybe he did this just for you.
You're right, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
This is I hate this, But the Bulls announced that
they don't expect Lonzo Ball to return next season from
that knee injury that has been like hurting him so
much over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Injury.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Right, he's not gonna ever play. That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Is he going to get insurance? They have? Do you
have insurance?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't get those texts.
I don't get those texts.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
A lot of contracts have insurance, though, sometimes very right.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Right, A rough night for a Wake Forest. LSU took
them down. It took eleven innings. Tommy Tanks is I
guess his uh nicknames?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I know that's I love it. His name is Tommy Why,
but he goes by Tommy Tanks.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
He's the one who hit the two run homer in
the eleventh innings. So LSU was gonna face Florida in
the College World Series final.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's the best of three series.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So a rough night for a wake Forest, but a
good night for the Braves, a good night for the Diamondbacks,
a good night for the Twins, the Guardians, the Padres.
But they did beat the Giants, so that's good. Ten
zero was the final score Royals over the Rays.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
The best eam in baseball.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Marlins beat the Pirates and the Mariners all over the
Yankees in the Bronx ten to two. Domingo Hermann has
been Yes.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I saw a story in the New York Post that
said he's doubting himself now, and I think the way
he's pitching, he should doubt himself.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yes, I would do.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, it's not look alive. It's not going well.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
One could be possible that he needs new pine tar?
Could that be that? The fact that he didn't do that,
He didn't do he didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
He said he did. Okay, I mean he was suspended.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Some people get it wrong in baseball? What have we learned?
Some people get it wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You wonder when these guys get the the pine tar
right and then they suddenly they don't pitch very well.
What's what's going on? And that guy Max Schurzer who
blamed Dave Roberts when he had a dead arm. Max
Schurzer is e r A this year with the Mets.
He's a star. He's not a star, a pine tar guy.
(27:51):
His ERA last year was two point twenty nine for
the Mets. His e RA is over four for the
Mets this year.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, what's going on? I don't know, Nush.
Speaker 1 (28:01):

(28:23):
And the NBA Draft, a lot of teams have big parties.
They have fans, season ticket holders come out, and I
used to go to these things years ago, and it's
always great when the hometown team drafts the player the
team fan base does not want and then they raise
Holy Hell, and they're all bummed out and all that.
And so we had a taste of that in the
(28:45):
NBA Draft. Now, this was to me a three person draft.
I did not watch past the third pick. I felt
there was no need to watch past the third pick.
And I went back and I checked to see who
got selected and all that. But the names didn't really
reston They were a couple of names that resonated, but
for the most part, I was like, really do anything
for me. The top three were where the draft to
(29:06):
me in so you can do the whole winners losers
thing and all that, which is a lot of fun
people love to do the winners lose the thing. But
in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Hornets who have Michael Jordan,
who sold part of the team and he still owns
some of it. But he's out there doing his thing,
(29:27):
mj Michael Jordan, and surprise, surprise, surprise, the Hornets at
number two drafted Brandon Miller from Alabama, a small forward
who has a few skeletons in his closet, like literally skeletons.
Like he you know, was involved in a situation where
(29:47):
someone died. He gave a gun to a guy back.
I guess it was his gun, but he gave it
back to the guy and the guy went then immediately
went out, bang bang, you're dead. A teammate there at Alabama.
So Brandon Miller, that's that seems to stick with you.
So he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornet fanbase,
it would appear, wanted Scoot Henderson. He's the guy that
(30:08):
went number three to the Trailblazers. Now, how do we
know that? We know that because of the booing that
took place at the Hornets draft. But then a local
TV station, we have some audio we're going to play
for this is great. Then you got a good audio.
You gotta play good audio. So I love the emotional
reaction when fans melt down. So we take you now
(30:32):
to the Charlotte Arena. There it's got a corporate name,
but they didn't pay us, so we don't need to
give them a plug. But this is from WBTV in Charlotte.
They're interviewing Hornets fans this Channel three in Charlotte, and
they got these two jamokes. These look like my kind
of guys. They looked like their listeners. And one guy's
wearing a Hornets jersey. He's kind of in shape, but
(30:53):
he's got the kind of a weird haircut. The other
guy's like a big fat guy with the gold chain.
But the guy that's talking here is the guy that's
got the jersey on the Hornets jersey. And just listen
to him talking about Brandon Miller and how this has
affected his life. Take a list.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Michael Jordan, you've owned the Hornets the Bobkas since I've
been a fan man, and every time I think you're
about to do something like.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Bad, you do something worse.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Hornets fans have been through it all since day one.
We have drafted more busts than any franchise. We had
to put up with so much stuff. It has affected
my mental to be a fan of this team. And
the moment I think, okay, this is it, this is
our breakthrough. You know, we dropt Brandon Miller, so I'm
(31:44):
rooting for the guy. I guess it was the wrong pick.
I'm rooting for the guy, but.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Mental health is all messed up because they drafted the
wrong player. All right, See there you go. That's a
guy that's very emotional. He's very emotional. I remember years
ago I was at the La Sports Arena, which no
longer exist. They took a wrecking ball to it. But
I was covering a Clipper draft. This a long time ago,
and the Clippers had the number two pick, and they
the fans, if I remember correctly, they wanted Jerry Stackhouse.
(32:13):
How long ago this goes Jerry Stackhouse or Rashid Wallace.
They ended up drafting Antonio mcdce and then they traded
him immediately to the Denver Nuggets, and the people were
so upset, they were so angry, and I still remember
the booze and then the spin.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That was kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Most famous boo, most famous boo of a draft pick.
It was an NFL player. Are you old enough to
remember when Donovan McNabb was booed out of the NFL draft.
That's a great story. In fact, I interviewed the guy,
Angelo Cataldi, a radio legend. He just retired a few
months back, but he's he was a Philadelphia radio legend,
(32:59):
Angelo catal adam on my podcast. He told the whole story.
He took a group of listeners, die hard Eagle fans,
absolute diehard Eagle fans. He took them to the NFL
Draft because they thought they were gonna draft Ricky Williams.
And when they didn't draft Ricky Williams and they drafted McNabb,
all these guys were all liquored up and they started
booing as loud as could be. And McNabb for the
(33:20):
rest of his career in the NFL, puay a long
time and got to some big games, NFC Championship Game,
Super Bowl where he vomited all over the field against
the Patriots, but McNabb always referenced the booing at the Draft,
which was just the morning radio guy bringing a group
of fans to boom. That's what it was who were drunk.
(33:41):
But it didn't matter. It made a great story for
McNab and he just he just went for it. That's
the story. I'm going for it. So anyway, let's go
to the phones, y' see what do we have here?
Any medie miny mon? Let's go to Dominican Mike. Who's
up next? Hello, Dominican Mike? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Hey, get even how you doing to my brother?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
If I was any better, I'd be a warrior, but
not a Golden State warrior.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Dude that Chris Paul does. He's actually older than me,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, wow, it was dinosaur then.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
I know, right exactly though, but just a couple of points.
Uh missus Bolanos. By the way, well happened.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
To a stick.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
She has stick used to be She used to say
stuff and Spanish whole time, which was pretty cool though.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
By the way, anymore, may here like three times in
my life? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Well the three times you've been here?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
When when?
Speaker 9 (34:45):
Yeah, okay, okay, I'm just saying he'd be like, hey,
come on and all that, and that was good though.
That was a big chick you know.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I'm just I'm just bringing that up, you know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Just saying, so, all right, got you, got you.
Speaker 9 (34:56):
For sure though. Anyway, she's doing a good job though,
keep it up though, all right if.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
You know, but Dominican Michae will be upset. You don't
want to upset Dominican mind. This guy knows people.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
No, yeah, no, totally, man, you you know so bad.
But uh, a little quick thing though, man that the
Giants of course lost, which was great by the way.
You know, I'm I'm not a Heganza fan, so which
it was good. And another quick thing.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
And let's you baseball team, by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Doing some college baseball right now.

we go thirty seconds, the Dominican Mike unplugged. You're on
your way.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Go. Okay, there's a possibility that I might have me
and my brother might I might not play college base
the University of Miami. And I still remember when LSQ
hit the walk up home run in two thousand and two. Okay,
something bitter about that.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
That's all right, it was only that was only seventeen seconds.
You're an old hurricane drafting yet?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Okay, yeah, all right, Ben brother?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
All right, there he goes Dominican Mike. Didn't they name
the stadium in Miami A rod? I think Alex Rodriguez

Fifth Hour Podcast with me Ben Mallar. It's available where
(00:44):
you're listening to this podcast and wherever you get your podcast.
So we start with pro Bouncy Ball CP three traded
to the Warriors. Say what what are your initial takeaways
from Chris Paul going to Golden State? Why did Chris
Paul pick the Warriors? And he could have gone anywhere,
I could have gotten any of the teams that were mentioned,
(01:05):
but he chose to go there. How is the future
of the Golden State Warriors franchise looking at this point,
and how will Jordan Poole do in Washington. We'll talk
about all that and more right now here. It is
our number one an appalling transaction wel gobe and not
(01:25):
beginning of another edition of the band Malor show. As
we navigate through the debris field in the air everywhere
audio frequency the battle begins now coast, the coast, border,
the border and beyond on the mast and super abundantly
(01:46):
powerful microphones of FSR am monating live from the fireside.
The fireside chat we are broadcasting live from the ti
raq dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there. An unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
AzID protection at over ten thousand recommended installers, tyreq dot com.
(02:09):
The way the tire buying should be so our lead.
This hour will start out with pro bouncy ball, but
not the NBA Draft. I was minding my p's and
q's there and I was trying to stay awake as
the NBA draft was going on, But it didn't really
(02:29):
matter because the news happened before the NBA draft. The
draft was upstaged by the training post. Is that the
wrong take I don't think that's the wrong take. Sorry
not sorry to Wemby. Yeah, number one pick not talking
about him right now. We'll save that for later. You
gotta sit in the back seat because the headliner on
(02:51):
the move. If you have not heard, maybe not. We
have learned that the Wizards have used some sorcery. They
put a on the Warriors and they have agreed to
trade Chris Paul. So the talk wasn't gonna buy Chris
Paul out? Well, no, they found a sucker to take
(03:12):
Chris Paul, and the sucker is Golden State. These are
your daddy's Golden State Warriors now as Chris Paul, the
washed up rodden carcass of Chris Paul heading from Washington,
although he never actually played for the Wizards, but his
contract briefly belonged to Washington, and he goes to the
Golden State Warriors in exchange for Jordan Poole. It's a
(03:37):
pool party. The future draft assets also going back to Washington.
So this is a much different, much different way to
look at the Bradley Beal trade, as this is the
third leg on the Bradley Beal trade, but the draft
compensation a bunch of first round picks fights. I'm getting
old because twenty thirty. They traded a pick in twenty thirty,
(04:00):
doesn't that that seems like it's a long way away.
It's actually not that long away. We're not that far
away from twenty thirty, holy crap. And a second round
pick in twenty twenty seven, which also feels like it
should be far away. It's not that far away. There
were some other picks and somebody you never heard of
who was also traded, So let us discuss low. Don't
bear the lead, my man, all right, We're not gonna
(04:21):
bury the lead. So what is your initial takeaway from
Chris Paul? Going to the Warriors, not the Lakers, not
the Clippers, the Warriors. So I've got Howie Mandel, Pirouett
and old Western, and holy moly, we're gonna do a
wellness check on all the die hard Dubbs fans to
(04:44):
call the show from the Bay Area. We'll see how
they're doing there. Probably not well at this point, all right,
So a golden state. To answer the question, what is
your takeaway initially from Chris Paul? Go to Wars the
report card. The male of report card is a D.
That's a D. For Golden State and somewhere and I
(05:04):
don't know where, probably in northern California, the GM Bob
Myers is sitting down having a glass of Scotch and
smiling ear to ear cheshire cat smile from ear to
ear because he is the guy that sold the house
before the sinkhole swallowed up the Warriors, in this case
(05:24):
Jordan Poole. And then there's somewhere else in the Warrior
offices and the bowels of the Golden State Warriors headquarters
were Mike Dunleavy Junior. His first act is the general manager. There.
He is right now raiding the mini bar wowsers right
and essentially playing Howie Mandell on this one a game
(05:47):
show that was popular a few years back, Deal or
No Deal. Dun Levy picked suitcase number thirty eight. The
banker called him up and said, I've got a sweetheart
offer here. Don't take number thirty eight, and don Levy said, no, Dale,
and he pushed the button down there nodal, and instead
(06:10):
he chose case number thirty eight. That is CP three,
and likely that means that Draymond Green will be part
of this. So they take CP three and Draymond Green over,
Jordan Poole, you are not a millionaire now. Chris Paul
is a millionaire. He's also thirty eight years old. And
his best days were in the rear view mirror, or
(06:32):
are in the rear mirror, Chris Paul Hall of Fame career.
All that best days were in Lob City with the
clips and ballhawk. He's a guy that is not going
to seed possession of the basketball. He loves to hold
the ball. CEP three can open also in addition to
holding the ball a long time, he can also open
(06:54):
his own Italian eatery. He's had so many meatball surgeries
over the years. He's undependable. You can't really this guy.
And that's the guy Golden State's betting on. That's the
guy now. All that said, clearly, Chris Paul picked the Warriors.
He could have chosen the Clippers, thank god he didn't,
or the Lakers. That would have been fun for us.
(07:16):
But instead he thinks he's found his casa blanca and
he's gonna go into Golden State and cherry pick a championship.
And will that work as well as it did for
Karl Malone back in the day when he latched on
to the end of the Laker train. Jude Jeu. Yeah,
good luck. So Chris Paul, despite playing the same exact
(07:38):
position as Steph Curry, will beyond the Warriors and he
will be asked to slide over to slide shuffle and
you are now Jordan Poole. You will get the minute
Jordan Poole had and you will be the third wheel
and you will play with Curry and Klay Thompson splish splash. Boy,
(07:59):
is that a bad Chris will be a liability on
defense when he plays. And that's just the reality and
the thing of this. Like the Dubs, even though they're
getting older now, boy, they getting old by NBA standards,
But the Dubs are a premium brand Lego. You know,
your kid, you want Legos? And then CP three is
like a Nano block, Like, well, no, mom, I wanted
(08:20):
the Lego. No, you got a Nano block. Deal with it, kid, Yeah,
that's the Nano At this point, he's a niblock. He
used to be a Lego, He's a Nano block. Now
he's a ripoff version of Lego. All right? Now, Page two,
Why did the Warriors trade Jordan Pool so you do
not have to be Woje or Shams. To know why
(08:41):
they did this, you just have to have a pulse.
The Warriors were coerced into trading Jordan Poole. Draymond Green
opted out of his contract recently, and it was either
Draymond Way or the highway, and they chose Draymond and
they sent Jordan Poole on the win a Muckle Road,
(09:05):
the Dusty Winnemucker Road. And so Golden State has picked
the Green team over the kiddie pool. And Draymond right
now on his podcast is doing a Vince McMahon power walk,
strutting down the runway and he's gonna do a pirouette
and then he's gonna flex because Draymond Green, he hasn't
re signed with the Warriors yet, but it would be
(09:26):
a stunner if he does not go back to the
Warriors because of this move. That is a dead giveaway.
They think anyway that Draymon's coming back. And so the
Warriors they conceded to their player, their longtime player, who
has more value to them than anywhere else, and Draymond
wins the Cold War. You could say that Draymond Green
(09:47):
punched Jordan Poole twenty eight hundred miles across the continental
United States from San Francisco to Washington, DC. That's a
hell of a punch. That is quite the punch. So
how is the future of the Golden State franchise looking so?
Short term, the Warriors are going to be the old
(10:09):
Geezer Bandits of the NBA, right, The old Geezer Bandit
is there, but that's only going to last two to
three years tops, and after that things are going to
become very damp and it'll bring back memories. You'll harken
back twenty plus years ago when Eric damp Here and
Antoine Jamison and Larry Hughes were the headliners. Can they
(10:31):
find Dave Cowen somewhere? I don't know if he's still
around the Warriors even be the coach the Warriors wanted
a couple of years ago. They wanted to be the Spurs.
They were convinced that they had figured out how to
solve the Rubik's Cube of the NBA, just like San
Antonio tanked and then they got Tim Duncan after they
tanked to get David Robinson, and the Warriors are like, okay,
(10:54):
we got the same set up here. They had the
terrible year, Curry got hurt and they got the number
two in the draft, and instead of being the Spurs,
it turns out they're going to be the bad boy Pistons.
If you're old enough to remember that, they had Isaiah
Thomas and Joe Dumars and they kept them and they
kept them until they rotted, and they still kept them
(11:19):
and they were ineffective, and they continued to toss them
out on the court because the plan was, if you
look at the blueprint, the plan was the future building
blocks that were going to continue to push forward the
glory days of the Warriors. Jordan Pool was the be
all everything guard and James Weisman was the big man
(11:40):
that was the next generation. They were going to take
the baton and go for it. And unless I'm mistaken,
and maybe you can touch up my work here, Golden
State gave away Jordan Poole and James Weisman, the two
players that were supposed to be the continuation players for
the return of Gary Payton the second and Chris Paul
(12:02):
and his walker. That is what they did. Tremendous basketball
move by the Golden State Warriors. Bravo, Bravo. I look
forward to watching you free fall in the standings of
the Western Conference. It's like they're being run by a
drunken sailor over there. All right, now, last word, So,
how will Jordan Poole do in Washington? I'm glad you
(12:25):
asked so. On the Malard report card, I'm gonna update
my grade with the new information I have. I hammered
the wizards the other day. I whipped him. Alright, what
are you doing? I like the trade. I like this
part of the trade. I give him an a minus.
I'm fair, Hi, I'm waving my magic wand I'm giving
them an a minus on the matter of report card.
(12:47):
Good job, all right, And for Jordan Poole, it's not
great for him. He gets to keep moving on with
his NBA career. They give him the keys to the
Sorcerer's workshop. He's got his own magic hat box and
all that. And Jordan Poole will be starring in a
remake of an old Western, playing the role of the
(13:08):
lone Ranger. And that means you can shoot early, you
can shoot often as much as your heart desires. No
one will care. You can play the role. Bradley Beal's gone.
You play his role. Jordan Poole can average thirty shots
a game and thirty points per game. Just keep shooting
(13:29):
and destroy the rim. Blow it to smithereens. Just knock
yourself out there, and he will also be popping up
at the grocery store on the back of milk cartons.
Because outside of fantasy hoops players and gamblers and maybe
our friend the Ostrich who lives in the greater Washington,
DC area, there outside of him and maybe one other person,
(13:51):
and nobody else is gonna notice. But at least I'm
gonna be Benny Brightside for Jordan Poole. At least he'll
be away from the workplace violence that he had to
deal with with the Warrior franchise. And if Draymond Green
had been in the shoes of one of the lesser players,
he would have been let go by the worst, but
(14:12):
he was too VALUABLEY couldn't let him go. But we
would like to thank also Golden Stats serious and I'm
goofing on the Warriors here because I think it's a
terrible trade and they're incompetent, but I would like to
thank them because they won the Chris Paul Sweepstakes, which
meant the Clippers did not bring back Chris Paul. So
good job by you. You win the white Elephant of
the NBA offseason. Congratulations, I hope you enjoy it. Good luck.
(14:37):
Now I am a little upset because I was hoping
Chris Paul is gonna end up with the Lakers. I'm
bummed out he's not. I would have liked to have
seen him run that franchise completely into the ground because
they've already got old man James over there, but did
not happen. So now we'll have to watch Chris Paul
take down the Golden State Warriors. And I can't wait
to read the story online. It's just bad luck. I
(14:59):
can't believe Chris Paul got hurt again, is gonna miss
the postseason for the Warriors. Hopefully he'll come back for
Game eighteen of the seven game series if it goes
that far. Okay, it is the Banett Malord Show. You

The lines fill up and then becomes harder and harder.
The degree of difficulty goes up, up, up and away
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven, seven, nine, nine,
six six three sixty nine. A rather mundane NBA draft.
We'll talk more about the draft a little bit later.
It was rather mundane, but there was one particular thing
(15:43):
that stood out, and it was a song. The boo
birds were.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Chirping booooooo booooooooo.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
There was one pick in particular that got the full
boot treatment. It was Boots Pastic and we will highlight
that we have great audio for that as well, and
we will do it next.

Eddi's not here, so it must be Sunday Holidays. Gotta
be a holiday. Find there's a holiday Eddie Eddie's Well,
I'm looking here. It says today, Well, because there's our
Friday show. Today is International Windows Day.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
That seems accurate.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
It is National Detroit Style Pizza Day. You ever had
a Detroit style pizza?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I have, Like I love pizza. You can't mess pizza up.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
You know what I'm saying that that's not true. Yes
you can't if you have pizza Pizza, No off California Pizza.
That's weak.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Honestly, Like, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
There are better pizzas, but I don't think like if
you handed me, you know, five dollars Caesar's Little Pizza,
I'm not going to complain.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Well, my tastes like cardboard, but I'm gonna eat it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well, that's why they can charge fifty cents for pizza.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
But you know what I'm saying, Like I will happily
enjoy that. But I do like Detroit style pizza. I
like sauce.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You're very saucy. Yeah, that's good sauce. No, Like I'm
going I'm going to New York. You know, I got
to visit my brothers in New York. So like he always,
he always takes me as a great pizza places, and
I'm like, I don't really think they're that good, you know,
like like like a Chicago it's my favorite.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
You want a deep dish? Yeah, stuff happening.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah, I'm a deep dish kind of guy, but I don't.
I don't hate the New York pizza. But to me,
it's not much better than like Kirkland brand pizza. Costco
give me.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I hear what I get?
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, I do like a Costco slice of pizza. That's
a good one.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I'm sure I could find pizza that you would want
to vomit if you ate it.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I mean, that's not the goal here, Ben, we don't
want to. We don't trying to find pizza's.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
The goal was to try to find why Eddie's not
here and maybe Detroit style fay. Other day's day. It
is a pink Flamingo day on Friday.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Well that's fun.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
How do you sell You put a pink flamingo in
your lawn? Is that how you?
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I think I need a boa or something that's po Here's.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
An outdated holiday. It's it's typewriter Day. Did you ever
use a typewriter?
Speaker 4 (18:47):
I did, in fact about maybe like five years ago.
I went to a wedding and they had a typewriter
where you could leave them a message.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I used like fifteen sheets.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Of paper because I kept messing up, but eventually I
got it.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
It was fun, it was I thought it was very sweet.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Typewriters are collectibles.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Yes, you have to type emphatically.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
When you use a typewriter, you have to.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You have to really use like you one fingers, like
you can't.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You can't, you know, like like a keyboard. Yeah, but
you do actually feel more like a grown up though.
When you use the typewriter, right, it feels like you're
a boss.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Right, the most adult I've ever felt.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Yeah, using a regular keyboard in a computer you do
not feel that way anyway. What's good to have you, Montai?
I think this is your Every four months you show,
is that about right? Feel cycle through once every four month.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I have to fight. I have to fight to be here.
Me and Ben, Me and Ben, me and a Brian Fenley.
We have to fight it.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
He wants to be here. He pretends he does it,
but we have to fight it out.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Hey, at least we had to go to HR last
time he was here, So we'll just leave that alone.
Jason Jason in Kansas City right says eight out of
ten on the mall of monologue, Man Jordan Poole became
the sacrificial lamb off to keep Draymond green. Is it
going to be worth it? No, Chris Paul can continue
his run of ruining Western Conference teams playoff chances. That
(20:09):
is from Jason John Wright, since it is driving home
from a pub trivia again. All right, I hope you
won John from pub trivia there. Oh, I guess he
said he got last place. Well, that's very depressing. You
got last place. Here you go, He says. Avenue Pizza
in Somerville the best Detroit pizza near Boston. He says,
(20:29):
they love us in Boston. No, when I was in Boston,
I got Vinnie. I lost a bet, so I had
to buy Vinnie. I came one of my trips to Boston.
I had to buy Vinnie and his buddies in the
neighborhood dinner. And so they took me to San Tarpios.
They said, that's the place in a You gotta go
to San Tarpio's. That's pretty good. It was like an
old time pizzeria, and I had that old pizzaia vibe and.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
It.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Don't you hate when somebody is like, oh, this is
gonna be so good, you're gonna love it.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So you go and you're like, it was fine. It
probably would have been if you wouldn't have told me it.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Was that good exactly. Yea. The key that, no, No,
the key to life is to not have high expectations
in anything. Seriously, That's what I tell the bosses here
at Fox. Do not expect the show to be good.
If the show's good, if the show's ever good, that's
a that's a blessing. I just expected to suck. And
then if it's good, that's okay. If you have expectations
of sucking, then that's what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
That's good advice there. The show is over goods.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The great way to live your life, Ferg Dog writes
in he says, what will history remember as the day
the Warriors dynasty ended? When Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole,
or when they desperately traded for a washed up car
insurance salesman says Ferg Dog? Who else you have? Jordan
writes in he says, f minus on the Malad monologue. Unfortunately,
(21:47):
we tune in to listen to you talk about sports,
not basketball. How dare you? There are people triggering, but
I do basketball monologues, Mancie. There's people out there. These
guys need their therapy dogs. They cannot handle pro bouncy
ball talking. Very upset.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I like your pro bouncy talk.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Oh there, he goes a vote of confidence.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I do. I mean I enjoyed your Rob Manford yesterday.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Man fraud. Yeah, how great is that? That was okay,
Rob Manford. And it's good timing because the Astros are
heading into Dodger Stadium this weekend, so that'll be that'll
be red meat in the Dodgers Den for the fans. Anyway,
they're all worked up for the A holes, so that'll
be fun at Dodger Stadium this weekend. Matt the Warrior
Raider a's fan rights in He says nine out of
(22:30):
ten of the Malle monologue, I have no idea what
the Warriors are doing. Between this and the A's nonsense,
I am a broken and beaten man. We haven't even
reached the point in the sports calendar where the Raiders
kicked me in the balls. Yes, yes, well, Matt you
are one of the people I thought of you. You
you and Alameda Lou were the two guys I thought,
oh boy, what's going on with these two knuckleheads, these
(22:53):
two diehard warrior fans. Now he got Chris Paul. And
see that's what you get because you guys were busting
my chop all you guys would, Oh, Chris Paul's gonna
go back to the Clippers. He's gold buck and in
your face, in your face, chipping the qu'es rights and
says a plus on the monologue. I can relate to
your relief over the Clippers not getting Chris Paul back.
I was very worried my Rockets might do that as well.
(23:17):
I want no part of that for the Rockets. That
goes for James Harden as well. Yeah, that hardened stuff
is cool down. That seemed all hot and heavy a
couple of weeks back that he was gonna go back
to the Rockets, And now now that's that's gone away,
Johnny writes in he says, I found this relic and
(23:38):
for Throwback Thursday, I wore and he's wearing an old
Mallard Nation shirt that we had years ago that shirt
goes back probably ten I bet more than ten years.
That's an old school shirt right there. That's old that's
old country. I gotta make another one. I made one
for the Mallard Meat and greet in Minnesota. People seem
to like it. They enjoyed it, hollering. James loved it.
(23:58):
He put you know, he slobbered food all over there
at the at the restaurant, so he definitely loved it.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
Chris Haynes, nbon T and T Bleacher Report. At ten
pm Pacific time, he tweeted this. Why would he tweet this?
Damian Lillard has an had any recent communication with the
Portland Trailblazers involving the draft, free agency, or his future.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Why would he tweet that at ten pm one a m.
Eastern time?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Because you got a text from Dan Lillard or his agent,
That's why.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
But are you are we like stirring the pot here?
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Of course? Well if you're, if you're want these insider guys,
that's what you do. You have to you have to
have the next rule of late.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
It's been a long day. Go to sleep, No, no tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
It's the worst take ever when it's late. I need
this kind of stuff. Normally only stuff we get in
the middle of the night. Are people dying in accis
I need or people getting arrested. I need some gossip.
I need gossip.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Okay, you're right, maybe he did this just for you.
You're right, you're right, You're right.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
This is I hate this, But the Bulls announced that
they don't expect Lonzo Ball to return next season from
that knee injury that has been like hurting him so
much over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Injury.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Right, he's not gonna ever play. That's terrible.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Is he going to get insurance? They have? Do you
have insurance?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know. I don't know. I don't get those texts.
I don't get those texts.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
A lot of contracts have insurance, though, sometimes very right.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Right, A rough night for a Wake Forest. LSU took
them down. It took eleven innings. Tommy Tanks is I
guess his uh nicknames?
Speaker 2 (26:20):
I know that's I love it. His name is Tommy Why,
but he goes by Tommy Tanks.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
He's the one who hit the two run homer in
the eleventh innings. So LSU was gonna face Florida in
the College World Series final.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's the best of three series.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So a rough night for a wake Forest, but a
good night for the Braves, a good night for the Diamondbacks,
a good night for the Twins, the Guardians, the Padres.
But they did beat the Giants, so that's good. Ten
zero was the final score Royals over the Rays.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
The best eam in baseball.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Marlins beat the Pirates and the Mariners all over the
Yankees in the Bronx ten to two. Domingo Hermann has
been Yes.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
I saw a story in the New York Post that
said he's doubting himself now, and I think the way
he's pitching, he should doubt himself.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yes, I would do.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Yeah, it's not look alive. It's not going well.
Speaker 8 (27:08):
No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
One could be possible that he needs new pine tar?
Could that be that? The fact that he didn't do that,
He didn't do he didn't do it.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
He said he did. Okay, I mean he was suspended.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
But yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Some people get it wrong in baseball? What have we learned?
Some people get it wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
You wonder when these guys get the the pine tar
right and then they suddenly they don't pitch very well.
What's what's going on? And that guy Max Schurzer who
blamed Dave Roberts when he had a dead arm. Max
Schurzer is e r A this year with the Mets.
He's a star. He's not a star, a pine tar guy.
(27:51):
His ERA last year was two point twenty nine for
the Mets. His e RA is over four for the
Mets this year.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Yeah, what's going on? I don't know, Nush.
Speaker 1 (28:01):

(28:23):
And the NBA Draft, a lot of teams have big parties.
They have fans, season ticket holders come out, and I
used to go to these things years ago, and it's
always great when the hometown team drafts the player the
team fan base does not want and then they raise
Holy Hell, and they're all bummed out and all that.
And so we had a taste of that in the
(28:45):
NBA Draft. Now, this was to me a three person draft.
I did not watch past the third pick. I felt
there was no need to watch past the third pick.
And I went back and I checked to see who
got selected and all that. But the names didn't really
reston They were a couple of names that resonated, but
for the most part, I was like, really do anything
for me. The top three were where the draft to
(29:06):
me in so you can do the whole winners losers
thing and all that, which is a lot of fun
people love to do the winners lose the thing. But
in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Hornets who have Michael Jordan,
who sold part of the team and he still owns
some of it. But he's out there doing his thing,
(29:27):
mj Michael Jordan, and surprise, surprise, surprise, the Hornets at
number two drafted Brandon Miller from Alabama, a small forward
who has a few skeletons in his closet, like literally skeletons.
Like he you know, was involved in a situation where
(29:47):
someone died. He gave a gun to a guy back.
I guess it was his gun, but he gave it
back to the guy and the guy went then immediately
went out, bang bang, you're dead. A teammate there at Alabama.
So Brandon Miller, that's that seems to stick with you.
So he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornet fanbase,
it would appear, wanted Scoot Henderson. He's the guy that
(30:08):
went number three to the Trailblazers. Now, how do we
know that? We know that because of the booing that
took place at the Hornets draft. But then a local
TV station, we have some audio we're going to play
for this is great. Then you got a good audio.
You gotta play good audio. So I love the emotional
reaction when fans melt down. So we take you now
(30:32):
to the Charlotte Arena. There it's got a corporate name,
but they didn't pay us, so we don't need to
give them a plug. But this is from WBTV in Charlotte.
They're interviewing Hornets fans this Channel three in Charlotte, and
they got these two jamokes. These look like my kind
of guys. They looked like their listeners. And one guy's
wearing a Hornets jersey. He's kind of in shape, but
(30:53):
he's got the kind of a weird haircut. The other
guy's like a big fat guy with the gold chain.
But the guy that's talking here is the guy that's
got the jersey on the Hornets jersey. And just listen
to him talking about Brandon Miller and how this has
affected his life. Take a list.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Michael Jordan, you've owned the Hornets the Bobkas since I've
been a fan man, and every time I think you're
about to do something like.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Bad, you do something worse.
Speaker 8 (31:22):
Hornets fans have been through it all since day one.
We have drafted more busts than any franchise. We had
to put up with so much stuff. It has affected
my mental to be a fan of this team. And
the moment I think, okay, this is it, this is
our breakthrough. You know, we dropt Brandon Miller, so I'm
(31:44):
rooting for the guy. I guess it was the wrong pick.
I'm rooting for the guy, but.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Mental health is all messed up because they drafted the
wrong player. All right, See there you go. That's a
guy that's very emotional. He's very emotional. I remember years
ago I was at the La Sports Arena, which no
longer exist. They took a wrecking ball to it. But
I was covering a Clipper draft. This a long time ago,
and the Clippers had the number two pick, and they
the fans, if I remember correctly, they wanted Jerry Stackhouse.
(32:13):
How long ago this goes Jerry Stackhouse or Rashid Wallace.
They ended up drafting Antonio mcdce and then they traded
him immediately to the Denver Nuggets, and the people were
so upset, they were so angry, and I still remember
the booze and then the spin.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
That was kind of.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Most famous boo, most famous boo of a draft pick.
It was an NFL player. Are you old enough to
remember when Donovan McNabb was booed out of the NFL draft.
That's a great story. In fact, I interviewed the guy,
Angelo Cataldi, a radio legend. He just retired a few
months back, but he's he was a Philadelphia radio legend,
(32:59):
Angelo catal adam on my podcast. He told the whole story.
He took a group of listeners, die hard Eagle fans,
absolute diehard Eagle fans. He took them to the NFL
Draft because they thought they were gonna draft Ricky Williams.
And when they didn't draft Ricky Williams and they drafted McNabb,
all these guys were all liquored up and they started
booing as loud as could be. And McNabb for the
(33:20):
rest of his career in the NFL, puay a long
time and got to some big games, NFC Championship Game,
Super Bowl where he vomited all over the field against
the Patriots, but McNabb always referenced the booing at the Draft,
which was just the morning radio guy bringing a group
of fans to boom. That's what it was who were drunk.
(33:41):
But it didn't matter. It made a great story for
McNab and he just he just went for it. That's
the story. I'm going for it. So anyway, let's go
to the phones, y' see what do we have here?
Any medie miny mon? Let's go to Dominican Mike. Who's
up next? Hello, Dominican Mike? Welcome?
Speaker 9 (34:00):
Hey, get even how you doing to my brother?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
If I was any better, I'd be a warrior, but
not a Golden State warrior.
Speaker 9 (34:09):
Dude that Chris Paul does. He's actually older than me,
which is crazy.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, wow, it was dinosaur then.
Speaker 9 (34:16):
I know, right exactly though, but just a couple of points.
Uh missus Bolanos. By the way, well happened.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
To a stick.
Speaker 9 (34:26):
She has stick used to be She used to say
stuff and Spanish whole time, which was pretty cool though.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
By the way, anymore, may here like three times in
my life? Yeah?
Speaker 9 (34:38):
Well the three times you've been here?
Speaker 2 (34:41):
When when?
Speaker 9 (34:45):
Yeah, okay, okay, I'm just saying he'd be like, hey,
come on and all that, and that was good though.
That was a big chick you know.
Speaker 5 (34:51):
I'm just I'm just bringing that up, you know, I'm.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
Just saying, so, all right, got you, got you.
Speaker 9 (34:56):
For sure though. Anyway, she's doing a good job though,
keep it up though, all right if.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
You know, but Dominican Michae will be upset. You don't
want to upset Dominican mind. This guy knows people.
Speaker 9 (35:07):
No, yeah, no, totally, man, you you know so bad.
But uh, a little quick thing though, man that the
Giants of course lost, which was great by the way.
You know, I'm I'm not a Heganza fan, so which
it was good. And another quick thing.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
And let's you baseball team, by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Doing some college baseball right now.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Little college there's okay, real quick now, and I'm gonna
be going in about thirty seconds.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
You promise I do. I'm gonna set a timer right now.
Hold on a second, now, you promise, I'm gonna give
you thirty seconds. I'm starting my stopwatch right now. Here
we go thirty seconds, the Dominican Mike unplugged. You're on
your way.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Go. Okay, there's a possibility that I might have me
and my brother might I might not play college base
the University of Miami. And I still remember when LSQ
hit the walk up home run in two thousand and two. Okay,
something bitter about that.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
That's all right, it was only that was only seventeen seconds.
You're an old hurricane drafting yet?
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Okay, yeah, all right, Ben brother?
Speaker 1 (36:18):
All right, there he goes Dominican Mike. Didn't they name
the stadium in Miami A rod? I think Alex Rodriguez
played the sponsorship with the Miami University of Miami Baseball stadium.
They he donated a bunch of money, if I remember correctly. Anyway,
it is the Ben Mallord Show as we continue on,
and we'll have the MLB pick him. Time now for
the who Am I? Game? And here we go, Nuggets.
(36:41):
Nicola Jokic and me are the only players to have
averaged twenty or more points per game in their careers
after being drafted in the second round or later since
nineteen eighty Again, NICOLEA. Jokicchould be the only players to
average twenty or more points per game in our careers
after being in the second round or later since nineteen
