Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our name, Birthree, our three ready to go, and
we're talking pro bouncy ball, but we're talking the soap
opera of pro bouncy ball. What is your position on
the James Harden saga in Philadelphia as James Harden did
not make it to the six Ers opening game, tried
(00:23):
to get on the team plane, but they wouldn't let
him on. Also, give me your first impressions of Dame
Lillard in a Bucks uniform as he painted a masterpiece
in his Milwaukee debut. And toss up, toss up question,
Rangers or Diamondbacks?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Who you got.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Winning the twenty twenty three World Series. We'll give you
our pick right now here it is. And lame jokes
with a guy on the streets homeless in Miami.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's our number three. Chew chew jumping on the day train.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well come in the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malord Show. See that's what happens one after another.
As we welcome you in.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
We are in the air everywhere, brothers in sports talk,
as we are stuck in a TimewARP coast to coast, border,
the border.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Lead this hour coming from Philadelphia.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
We're gonna get to the Dame Train in a minute,
but our first stop before we get to the Dame
Train would be in Philly, and things are getting cranked
up the brotherly love. But what a week for Philadelphia
sports right now? You had you did have the Eagles win.
They won a big game against the Dolphins. But the
Philadelphia Phillies imploded. They gagged, they had tight took his syndrome.
(02:27):
As they go down to the lowly Arizona Diamondbacks and
the NLCS. And now you've got this Philadelphia situation that
the hoopsters in Philly.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Wow wow.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
If you've not been following here, The Sixers opened their
season on Thursday night. They lost a game late to
the Dame Lillard led box.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
More on Lillard and his debut in a minute.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
But James Harden was not in Wisconsin, and that is
the lead the NBA said to be looking into whether
or not.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
The seventy six ers and James Harden.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Violated the new player participation policy.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
On opening night.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
In the NBA say what now, we are told the
NBA big shots on Fifth Avenue are looking into the matter.
The new policy, the much bally hooed policy put into
play that in the no flopping. The two big changes here,
the load management one is just outstanding. So this was
(03:31):
put into place during the offseason and as a ends
to a mean here or mean to an end to
increase the participation they want to increase the star players play.
Like the NBA realizes they've got television contracts that are
coming up. That's where they make their money, the TV broadcasters.
So like, we're putting this stuff on and we're putting
drek on television because your guys are lazy slobs and
(03:54):
they don't want to play and they think they're gonna
get hurt so that they're afraid to play. So the
NBAS like, okay, we're not gonna make our employees actually
you know, work unless it's a nationally televies game. For example,
we saw more mouthfeasance the second game of the year
the Phoenix Suns. Devin Booker and Bradley Beal didn't play
(04:16):
in the opener or the second game, but Devin Booker,
who looked perfectly fine in the opener, sant out they
made up some bogus bull crap injury the Suns. So
if you thought load management was not a thing that
now they're just They'll give you some kind of phantom
injury and you can miss as many games as you want.
But the thing is, you can't do it on a
(04:36):
national TV game. And it was a TNT game in Milwaukee,
and the seventy six ers decided to keep James Harden
back in Philadelphia to get him in game shape faster.
They claim, this is great, They said, aw, we really
wanted him to work with our developmental coaches, medical staff,
and so he's been away for a few days.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
That's the company line, which is fresh bull crap. You
can smell it right through my voice. You can smell
the bull crap. So yeah, you know that's the ticket. Now,
let us discuss the question here. The question is what
is your position on the James Harden saga in Philadelphia.
(05:17):
The latest developments my views, Austin powers, Barracuda an old
country road, and we will connect all of these things
together and we are going to make waffles, just like
Russell Wilson had when he spoiled Sierra by renting out
that house.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Now, first of all, James Harden is following the analytics.
This is all planned aus like watching a baseball game.
It's all scripted reality. James Harden planned on causing chaos,
and James Harden is causing chaos. The tallest blade of
grass gets cut. Nobody in his generation of NBA players
(06:03):
has been better at instigating a relocation situation than Harden.
He is machiavellian the way he goes about his business.
And a better analogy would be when I see James
Harden and the whole commentary, you know, going to China
and just trashing Darryl Morey, right, because you want to
sell more shoes in China, So you trash the guy
(06:23):
that supported Hong Kong. And that's I mean, We're obviously
nobody's doing hard. He's a businessman. It's like, hey, I
can trash this guy. And I can get the daily double.
I'll get off the Sixers and I'll go somewhere else,
and then I'll sell a bunch of shoes in China
and it'd be great. But he's Doctor Evil, James Harden
from Austin Powers. And the best part of this plan
(06:43):
is no one can stop me.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
No one. Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
If it looks like a rat and it smells like
a rat, it's a rat. And I know where the
rat is. In this story, a little birdie says that
James Harden went to the airport is story. He went
to the airport to join the Sixers on the road
and was denied entry onto the team plane by a
(07:09):
meat head security guard for the team. If true, If true,
this is another feather in the cap for James Harden.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That means the Philadelphia seventy six Ers are going to
be fined and not James Harden.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
How sweet it is? Right?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Because if the rule states that the star player has
to attend and perform in nationally televised games, and if
James Harden, if it's true that James Harden attempted to
fly with the team under the guise of playing for
the Sixers. Then that could only mean that the Sixers
are the ones that blocked him. And I get why
(07:52):
they did it right, if you could keep cancer out
of your body, you'd keep cancer out of your body.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I get it. But man, alive? What what it is?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Second headline stays in Milwaukee. The Dame train has left
the station. Dame Lillard thirty nine points, eight rebounds, four
assists in Milwaukee, able to go wheeze past Philadelphia in
the fourth quarter. You bet on the seventy six ers.
(08:21):
You won the bet, But give me your first impressions.
Give me your first impressions of Dame Lillard in a
Bucks uniform. So I had this game on the small TV.
I had the football on the big TV, so this
was on the small TV. So I was mostly watching
the football, but I did in the commercials. There's a
lot of dead time in football, so I flipped over
to the basketball and on the small TV. And when
(08:42):
I was looking, I noticed that's the same guy I
remember from Portland. Dame Lillard is even more fearsome, like
a barracuda in Wisconsin, and he is as lethal as
a giant anaconda. With the Bucks, very impressive. We talked
about Victor Wemba Yama with a DoD just kind of
a blob beginning to his career in San Antonio, but
everyone gives him a break because he's a kid. Well,
(09:04):
Damian Lillard was perfect. He had no turnovers, He had
fourteen points in a close game in the fourth quarter
and he turned the game in And this is not
aesthetically pleasing per se, So I'm not saying this is
a compliment, but it's very effective. During the regular season,
Dame Lillard became good James Harden. Remember when Harden was
at his best with the Rockets, and he would get
(09:25):
to the foul line fifteen times a game, and Lillard
turned this game into a Papa Shot from the Charity
strike that he kept getting to the to the foul
line whenever he wanted, seventeen foul shot attempts, seventeen for
seventeen on free throws. And he matched up with Giannis
(09:46):
dent to Coombo and the comparison nobody else has this comparison.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
If you put.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Giannis dent To Coombo and Dame Lillard on a dish
that combo spaghetti and meatballs, they're that good spaghetti and meatballs.
And all things being equal, meaning that there's no obvious injury.
I don't know how you beat that combination because in
(10:13):
a playoff environment now Giannis still misses a bunch of
foul shots, but he's the number two, not the number one.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Laden game like Gianna's.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Canna be the first option for the first three quarters,
but Leyden close, it's Damian Lillard.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
All right final five. In a blatant attempt.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
To suck up to our listeners in Dallas in.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
The Greater Phoenix area.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Headline from the Fall Classic in Arlington, the twenty twenty
three World Series begins tonight.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's on Fox.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
You better watch Game one of the twenty twenty three
World Series. Now, while it is a bland matchup, it
is in. It's a baked potato with no copy, is
what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Let's play it? Are we gonna watch? Sure?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
It's the freaking World Series. So it is also a workplace.
Has right the Rangers and Diamondbacks? Who you got winning?
Toss up question? Rangers or Diamondbacks? You can only pick
one who you have win in the World Series. Now,
I'm gonna go first, And I spent minutes handicapping the
(11:28):
World Series and I would like to attempt some cosplay.
I'm putting on right now, my chaps. I've got my
last so and my cowboy hat as a distant relative
of Nostra Damas and a friend of no stredenas he
lives in Seattle. We are going with the Texas Rangers.
(11:48):
The Rangers your world champions. They will win in five games.
The Rangers take down the Snakes. The Texas Rangers win
their first championship. Congratulations to Cory Seeger and all the
twenty three baseball fans in Arlington, Texas as the Rangers
get it on. What if I told you that Major
(12:12):
League Baseball as a business needs.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
The Texas Rangers to win the World Series. Let me
tell you why.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Bruce Bouchie, Bruce Bochie is the last of the Vehegans.
He's from down the old Country Road. Have a hunch,
bet a bunch. This is not your typical standard robotic
Dave Roberts or Aaron Boone who follows the three ring
binder and whatever King Nerd tells them to do because
(12:44):
they're mindless. Bruce Bouchie has machismo. Bruce Bochie's got the
biggest marbles in baseball and he doesn't go by what
some idiot and listening. The Rangers have an Ivy League
guy as their GM. Every team has an Ivy League gym,
but they allow Bochie to breathe.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
And I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Plus, the Rangers spent a crap ton load of money
to put this team together. They sucked their roster blue,
so they went out and signed Corey Seeger away from
the Dodgers. They signed Marcus Simeon in free agency. They
went out and fixed the pitchings, and some of the
guys they picked up were total failures, like Jacob Degram,
(13:27):
who's gonna get a World Series ring.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
If the Rangers win, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I believe if you put that kind of commitment that
you go for it, you should win. Arizona winning sends
a bad message to everyone in baseball because they tanked right,
and they didn't spend any money, and they had a
mediocre regular season. They were mediocre for six months and
all they've done is play okay for a month. That's it, right.
(13:54):
If Arizona wins, then that furthers the notion that you
don't have to have sexy, big name players and all that,
that you can get a bunch of nobody's a bunch
of turn Burgers and put them out in the field.
But here's what's gonna happen. The clock is gonna strike
midnight in Phoenix, and Corbyn Carroll and the Diamondbacks are
(14:17):
going to go back to the shadows of whence they
came back in the gutter. And your Texas Rangers bought
a great win for Bruce Bochie, another World series for
his Hall of Fame resume. Seeger gets a second World
Series in that ballpark, and we'll see where the press now.
My recommendation for the Rangers parade is to go right
(14:37):
through Jerry's world right, just stick it to Jerry Jones.
I just you should have the rally at the Star
right right there where Jerry Jones office is. Just have
your rally to show the incompetence of the Dallas Cowboys
that the Texas Rangers can get to multiple World series
since the Cowboys last won a World Series or even
made a World Series or Super Bowl rather and and
(15:00):
just have a grand old hooton Nanny.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Just have a great time.

that and the Mallory Riddle of the day. Yeah, here's

Speaker 4 (20:03):
But did they change it though?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Yes, yes, only they don't.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
I don't care what they did the Rebels.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
I don't just asking a question them. It's like that revolver.
It's like the Red River shootout because I can't.

Shoot one person with a stick shoved up there took this.
Can't handle it. I understand, I understand. Anyway, do you

Speaker 4 (20:27):

Where they were they selling like alligators to barbecue or something.
Speaker 2 (20:34):

that there there tailgate parties. So yeah, you can get

dad gummet, but fully skinned gators for tailgating or home
if you want your gator at home, so you can
get the full gator experience, the gator hater experience.
Speaker 4 (21:06):
I've heard it.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Or in Alabama they had a whole gator for like
a team meal before their trip to well.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah, but they played they played the South Florida the Bulls.
Speaker 6 (21:15):
Yeah, which is strange. It tastes like chicken. I don't know.
Would you try gator?
Speaker 1 (21:19):
No, I don't really I think I would you need anything?
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Yeah, you know, i'd give it a try, but I
doubt I don't think i'd like it. But I here's
the thing.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
If you fry it, I'm sure it's fine.
Speaker 6 (21:29):
Anything I've had iguana.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Oh congratulations.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah, that was the circumstances around that I was in.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I was on a cruise that stopped in Honduras, and
I guess.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
That's Honduras iguaa even better.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
Yeah, I guess it's a popular, popular meal over there.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
It look like they have a lot of meat on them,
though they don't.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
And that was the worst part about it because it
tasted fine, but it was just a ton of bones
and so you're just picking around bones.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
But the taste was good.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Do they have boneless iguana?
Speaker 2 (22:04):
I don't think so, don't, because I'd like the boneless iguana,
like you know, you got chicken wings or boneless chicken wings.
Speaker 6 (22:10):
Which is just chicken nuggets and iguana nuggets.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah, let's go to Jed Whuo fled speaking of Florida.
This guy, I bet this guy's eating gator before Hello.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Jed.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
Man, it pains me, is say it mine talking about
all the motors being stolen the other night. Well, even
though I I went to school that was the Yellow Jackets.
Our school colors are orange and blue because in the
fifties our first jerseys were discarded throwaway jerseys from the
the the enemy, the Florida Gators, And so I mean,
(22:42):
I mean that right there, but most like, I mean,
let's say you're eating a gator. The first half of
the gator's probably I mean, he's gonna taste like the
first syllable of the word gator. What is that? Let's
just you know, there's it's happiness, it's gay. I mean,
I want I want to how that tastes. Uh oh, yeah,
there's that.
Speaker 9 (23:02):

I assume he doesn't still own any part of the team.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
No, no, George W. Bush. He got a famous first
pitch from what I understand at one time. But he's
gonna give it another shot here for the World Series?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Is he gonna throw from the mound? He's older now
he is.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Well, he still have to wear the bulletproof vest.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, he's a former president, although they decent security.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
That was the famous part of the famous story, right
when he after threw it with a bulletproof vest through
a strike man. It was it really was.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Yeah, that was probably the last time that the country
was united after nine to eleven. Right, you would think
I mean that for that there was about a period
of a year.
Speaker 4 (26:37):
Or two where you think it was that long.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
It was a year people were hugging each other and.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Definitely several months, maybe half a year.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
I'd go a year.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
Wow, you're optimistic there, yea, yeah, it took something like that.
Speaker 8 (26:54):
I know that.
Speaker 6 (26:56):
Now we just need aliens, but I don't.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
I don't want aliens.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Like the alien thing. The government pretty much announced like
here they are.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Well, I mean like if there was an active like
alien attack slash invasion, I think that would unite us all.
I'm sure you're right, yes, during that one. Yeah, North
Korean Russia would definitely join forces with aliens screw the
rest of the world.

So the former NBA player was an MVP at one
point in his career, Dwight Howard, who is lighting up
the tabloid world these days. White's not in the NBA anymore,
but he is the star of the tabloids. There's a
law suit that has been filed against Howard. It's been
going through the legal system for a while, but some
(28:05):
new information popped up this week, and as I understand it,
Dwight has confirmed that he likes playing. He likes playing
three on three rather than five on five, And uh, listen,
we all we all enjoy what we enjoy, Dwight. That's
a tough way to announce that you like certain things
that people didn't think you like.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
But I mean whatever. Uh so, Coop, you're you're a
Laker guy. You had Dwight Howard Dwight, I guess it's confirmed.
Uh he's uh what is he bisexual or is he
just gay? I don't know, not that it matters.
Speaker 7 (28:42):
I don't really care, but I mean I would assume
he's bisexual. He's got like eight children, doesn't.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
He fair amount?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
And I assume that came from women, So what would bisexual? Okay,
but the report said he had a three on three
or was I I guess one on two?
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Or I don't.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
I don't. I want to wrestle you so freaking bad?
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, and uh, and so so he did that, and
now it's the dwite thing. He's come out with his statement. Uh, Dwight,
because this is all over the internet, and I have
a little bit of that. Oh you have the audio, Okay,
a little bit, a little, a little taste, all right,
(29:26):
here's a little a little bit of Dwight Howard. Uh
because again the story is that he's uh bisexual and
uh he got sued because apparently one of the dudes
he was with got upset.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
But anyway, here's the here's the audio.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
Y'all too.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Damn knows the word about what I'm doing in my bed. Hell,
the people who.
Speaker 9 (29:47):
Know what's going on in my bed, they know what
the hell going on with my bed and what the
hell I do in it. That ain't for everybody on
the internet. That ain't for no blogs, that ain't for
no web sites. I don't got tell nobody where I
put my wood at s So I want to get
to it.
Speaker 6 (30:07):
He's right, I mean, it's nobody's business, really, But.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Man, there's so many drops in that that we could
we could take out. It would just be just be wonderful.
So Mike, Mike Dwight, I don't go tell long.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
We got the jokes, But Mike Dwight Howard story where
I was doing my website, which was I ran a
gossip website for a while Dwight was in high school
and it was like the craziest story because he was
coming out of high school in Georgia and he got
drafted by the Orlando Magic. But before he was drafted
by the Orlando Magic, Dwight Howard was such a goodie
(30:44):
two shoes, you know, god free man and all that.
Nothing wrong with that, But he said before he was
in high school, he said he had a dream that
the NBA got rid of their logo the silhouette of
Jerry West, and now he wanted them to incorporate a
logo that had a cross on it.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's what he wanted. Uh and uh. And it's just
fascinating to see how how all of this has played out.
Not that they're you know, again to each their own,
but it's just wild.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
That you were getting sued because of a threesome. U.
And now you have to announce that you're bisexual after
after all that.
Speaker 4 (31:20):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Did you have any add coup to that?
Speaker 6 (31:24):
No, have got nothing.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
No, you do not want to add on to that?
Speaker 9 (31:27):
All right?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Does this mean we will not see Dwight in the
NBA anymore?
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Wasn't he playing in China or something recently Taiwan, Yeah,
somewhere in Southeast Asia. Yeah, I just I wonder how
known this was.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well, I was gonna say, just mean the rumors were true? What, well,
there were rumors.
Speaker 7 (31:48):
You're talking about like like the transsexual Like, no, well

years ago that was a high high draft pick.

There were rumors about.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
But you know whatever, who cares?
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I don't, you know whatever, there's probably a bunch of
gay guys in the NBA and the NFL and baseball,
and uh.
Speaker 7 (32:07):
Well, so does this now make him he's got it?
He's got to be the most famous person to Does
he even count? I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
I don't think he counts because he didn't like brag
about it, like, you know, he just kept it on
the down low. So I don't think if you keep
it on the down low, I don't know who you
get credit for. You have to you have to like
do TV shows and heartfelt stories and things like that.
