Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's our number one, an.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Original recipe podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Here our one the play in tournament, the Heat and
the seventy six Ers and the Atlanta Hawks Chicago Bulls.
Those the two matchups there, true or false. Jimmy Butler
in the Heat deserve to be vilified for losing to
the Sixers. Butler he was injured in the game. Also
Bulls and Hawks. Did Trey Young just play his final

(00:31):
game for Atlanta?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
They were the losers.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Also elsewhere in the NBA, the Warriors seat captain Klay
Thompson says he hasn't given much thought to.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
His NBA future. Do you believe him?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
We'll talk about that as well, and a whole lot
more here it is our number one.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
The Sixer Fixer.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
If you will welcome, in beginning of another night of
the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere,
waddling as we give you groovy goodness, coast to coast,
sport of the border and beyond. On the mast at

(01:17):
unrelentingly powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from the river,
the atmospheric river of hot sports takes. We're broadcasting live

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Com the way tire buying should.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Be and we're back again. Blah blah blah blah. No
I lead this hour. Coming from the Losers series, the
NBA artificially creating a tournament to get into the tournament
when they already have a tournament to get into the tournament,
they have a second tournament to get in the tournament.

(02:19):
It's very so I have an eighty two game tournament
to get into the tournament. But that's not enough, so
they added another tournament to get into the tournament. Who goofed,
I've got to them. So the Heat and Sixers were
on the undercard, but they were the main event from Philadelphia.
That was the game that had a little little rasthmataz

(02:41):
to it, the winner getting the number seven seed.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Now we're going to assume the position that you did
not watch.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Maybe you did, but we are watching these games as
a public service for you, the consumer.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
So you don't have to worry about watching these NBA games.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
So Joel and Beid did not play particularly well, but
he's the headliner. So the fact that he had twenty
three points and fifteen rebounds on an off night. He
did have a big assist to Kelly Oubre Junior on
a go ahead three pointer that helped the Sixers to
win a one point win over the Heat in the
Eastern Conference. Playing game, Nicholas Battoum, a former Clipper, doing

(03:26):
what Clippers do.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
This time of the year.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
He had a game shifting three point seven. He had
three points at halftime, and he looked like Klay Thompson
used to play in the playoffs in the second half.
There is several big shots for Batoomb, who was part
of the James Harden trade. But the better story is
where that's right, you are a good student. The better

(03:48):
story is in the losing locker room. So Miami's Jimmy
Buckets and full disclosure, we are big fans, big fans
of Jimmy Buckets in the appro the grinded out approach,
the kinking, the kitchen sink approach.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Where he just throws everything out there every game. So
we like the guy.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
He's getting absolutely cooked speaking of the kitchen for being
the star for Miami and blowing a fourteen point lead.
Of course, he also suffered an injury that never happened.
NBA players never get hurt. It's so rare to have
an NBA game where a player gets hurt. It just
almost never happens. So it's shocking when someone gets hurt.

(04:30):
It's like it's like, you know, they say in the
news business dog bites man. Not a story. Man bites dog.
That's the story. NBA player gets hurt. That's a big story.
So anyway, let us discuss true or false. Jimmy Butler
in the heat deserve to be vilified for losing to
the Sixers.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
So this much, I know it is true. I know
that I'm not in my head. Yes it is true.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I've got the commodorees, Sotheby's, and sleeve tattoo, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to create a talking parrot. Someday I will be
replaced by a talking parrot that will be AI generated.
I'm convinced of that, all right, So a listen to

(05:15):
answer the question again. It's true, Jimmy Butler and the
Heat do deserve to be crucified and vilified and all that.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
That's how this works.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
If you haven't figured that out, I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
I don't know what I can do for you. Okay,
I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
I get can't, I can't help you. Miami had a
power outage.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Jimmy Butler and Tyler Hero combined for forty four points.
It sounds pretty good, right, sounds pretty good, somewhat impressive.
If you didn't watch the game, which you probably didn't,
the dynamic duo was shooting blanks. The soundtrack of this
performance was nineteen seventies disco the Commodores Brick House. They

(05:53):
shot a combined thirty one percent thirty one percent, fourteen
to forty five. And we like to say on this show,
sucking at a time you cannot suck. Butler was playing
on emotion. Word you want to use here, adrenaline, I guess,
is the word many will use. But he was a

(06:15):
decoy down the stretch.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
He got hurt early in the game. He was a
decoy down the stretch.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
We are told that he is likely out for the
rest of the play, in which is one more game
here he's out in definitely with an mcl injury pending
further medical tests. That puts the heat behind the proverbial
eight ball when they go back to South Beach with
the Bulls coming in for a playing game to be
the eight seed.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
More on that in a minute, either way.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
To get back to the premise of this, it was
a famous line by Bill Parcels, who won a lot
in his day, and he said, no matter how much
you win, no matter how many games, no matter any championships,
you're not winning now.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
So you stink.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
And that's the way that's for its works, not be
I did say we would take the express trend. We
are taking the express train to sweet Home Chicago, where
the deep dish pizza is great and the basketball is
not so much. Kobe White, Kobe who, not Kobe Bryant.
Kobe White, a virtuoso performance.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Have a night doesn't even count. It doesn't count as
a playoff game, it doesn't counts a regular season game.
Stuck in the middle. But Kobe White painting a masterpiece here.
He had forty two points, led the Bulls to a
barbecue of the Hawks. Yeah, I don't think that's a lot.
I think they're in danger of the Hawks. You're not
allowed to barbecue them. But they did.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
They win going away a big lead early, blew the
lead Chicago, and then ended up fattening up the lead
late in the game. So Chicago will now play the
aforementioned heat. I was gonna keep this playing simple here
for the right to be disemboweled by the number one
see number Celtics in the first round. Now, the spicy

(08:03):
meatball on.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
This one is not on the Chicago side.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I try to accommodate your femi and all that, But
the story here the spicy meatballs on the four or four.
What a great area code that is. It's an error
code on the internet, but it's the area code in Atlanta.
So did Trey Young just play his final game for
the Hawks.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
So the scales are.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
Certainly leaning significantly that way, right, Not that way.

Speaker 2 (08:32):
They're leaning this way over here.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
And I'll tell you why Atlanta has gone stale. They
were lucky dogs a couple of years ago, mayde to
run to the Eastern Finals, a couple of wins away
from the finals, but they have done the moonwalk and
they have regressed since twenty twenty one. You look at
professional sports, the industrial complex at professional sports, and if
you're just stuck treading water, you're going to make a

(08:58):
big move.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
It happens all time.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's the normal paint by numbers approach to sports, and
these things many say running their course here as a
distant relative of Nostradamus and friend of nostradenis he lives
in Seattle. We believe the Hawks have already reached out
to Southeby's, the fine auction house, and Trey Young will

(09:21):
be put up for auction with those contemporary paintings, the jewelry,
the other collectibles at Southeby's, and it just events. Will
the Lakers, the Heat, the Bulls, the MAVs, the Clippers,
somebody like that. Meet the buy now price tag. Stay tuned,
developing hot dot dot dot. All right, last word here

(09:41):
we now hop on the train we go out to
the Bay Area. They are still conducting an autopsy on
the Warriors here.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
The body is not cold yet. Warriors have been eliminated.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
We have heard in the last twenty four hours that
Chris Paul says he will not retire.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Not retire. I'm very concerned about that.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
He will continue to collect a lot of money for
very little performance, but likely will not be back with
Golden State.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Andrew Wiggins.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
His name has been floated out and he was not
exactly tearing up the dance floor there for the Warriors.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
He will likely be entering the transfer portal.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Meanwhile, the Komodo dragonal room here the Warriors Sea Captain.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
It's like the Titanic. Klay Thompson, Oh for ten Clay.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
He says that he has not given much thought to
his NBA future. Do you believe him? Do you believe
Klay Thompson? So the answer, I'm goa combine a couple
of letters here n plus Oh no, I don't believe now.
He played his final game like a guy with a

(10:56):
lot of anxiety, like a guy that was going through
all the great memories of his salad days with the Warriors.
That's what he looked like. He looked like a guy
that was wearing it on his sleeve tattoo. Right, the
basketball scribes are already trying to get him on to
his next team. They're floating outs and areos where Clay

(11:17):
Thompson goes to Dallas or Orlando, and that those are
safe spaces for the fallen splash brother, but I will
gare on to you. There was not going to be
a bidding war. I think that's easy to say. Clay
is an acquired taste at this point. It appears in
many performances he has made out of clay, and not

(11:40):
the good kind. Not the good kind. He's no longer
a force multiplier. I would put him in the Ham
and Egger category these days. He does have an impressive
Wikipedia page if you're into that kind of thing. So
that's a positive. That's a good thing. So read about

(12:01):
the glory days. Yeah, anyway, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
If you would like to comment on any of the
things that we have just discussed, abracadabra, hocus pocus. The
phone lines open up a chance to talk to the
great unwashed, and you can be famous audio famous on

(12:22):
hundreds of radio stations, streaming on big powerful streaming apps
and all of that.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
All of that available to you if you want to
be part.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
But we do not give out the number, not that
it has really helped the phone calls at all.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
It hasn't.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
But occasionally we give out the number for a bit
that we're doing a game show, or if we have
a nuby nt and we plan on doing a newby
Night next week. We have not done one in a
few weeks, so we're planning on doing a newby Night
next week.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
You don't have to wait for that. We had a
guy call it.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
From Sreeport, Louisiana esterdays a newbie and I got called up.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
He was all excited about the.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Pelicans drinking, the drinking the good drink there, and he
called up out of he figured out the number. But
if you don't want to futs around with that, we
are available on X at Ben Mahlor, that is at
Ben Mahlor if you would like to be part of
the program that way, and we might read your chemists

Speaker 1 (13:22):
So your moonlighting and hoops, but your main job is
as a shoe salesperson. Your main job is as a
shoe sales person. And it's bad enough to be ripped
by random people, random men, women and children.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
But what about a I attacking you?

What what do you? What do you do when AI attacks?
We'll get to that and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Call one of those shady billboard attorneys. That's what you
you should call one of those guys.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Good luck finding one of those.

Speaker 2 (15:27):
They make it a lot.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, very hard to find a billboard attorney when you
need one, you know, difficult even they do it, even
in Braille. You know that there's some billboards in Braille
for the blind guys, so they can they can.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Call in too. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Anyway, we began here with a pro bouncy ball mallet monologue.
Jason in Kansas City was listing. He says ten out
of ten on the mallad monologue. Man, I'm so sick
of the underachieving Hawks. They play absolutely no defense. Send Ice,
trade Young to the Lakers, get back Am Reddish and

(16:00):
a host of other goodies from the Lakers. That's Jason
in casey. Yeah, I can see Trey Young ending up
on the on the Lakers. Who else we have? Can't
close the deal, Neil says, hollering. James played Mallard's Mount
of Money the other night and it was extremely funny.
So the callers have not been that bad lately. So

(16:20):
you're using one example, Neil, can't close the deal, Neil,
But what about the other calls? What about those guys?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:29):
And Neil also says the only thing Justin in Cincinnati
has is to tweet the show.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
He says, the guy has no life and no job.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
We need to get him out, He says, get him
out of his parents' basement and get a life. And well,
that's kind of mean. What if we're paying him? What
if Justin's on our payroll? What if he's actually an
undercover agent for the show? What if that's it means conceivable,
There is a dimension where that is true. Art Puffin writes,

(16:58):
and he says, Babe been five thousand points where the
points don't matter, and a piece of cake I call
groovy goodness. On the mal monologue, by the way, after
a bad loss by the Doyers, he says, if tonight's
callers are passionate to the point of ignorance, as Vassay's

(17:20):
last three callers were, should be good. I did not
hear my friend David Vessey on his Dodger post game
that the Dodgers played a day game. He lost a
series to the Nationals. Fired Dave Roberts, Fire Dave Roberts.
They lost a series to the Nationals, got shut out.
Matt the Warrior Raider fan who used to be an

(17:41):
A's fan, and all of his teams have relocated since
he started listening to the show, He says, your monologue,
help me remember that you're a huge fan of fun facts.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
So here's a fun fact.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Klay Thompson lost to the Clippers in a playoff series
with Steph Curry and Draymond Green.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
That is a fun fact. Matt kind of cheers me up.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
I remember that, yet Mark Jackson was the coach the
Golden The Mighty Golden State Warriors lost a seven game
playoff series to the Lob City Clippers. So how good
really were Golden State in that era? Because everyone said
how bad the Clippers were? They lost They lost a
playoff series to who that's right, the Clippers with Chris

(18:24):
Paul and all those guys.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I forgot about that. That's a thank you for that.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I am a fun I'm a fan of fun facts,
huge fan.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
So that's a great fun thank you, Matt. I appreciate
that so much.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
RAS Acoustic formerly known as RAZ quit themand he says,
long time, no listen, I've missed you guys.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
We missed you RAS. Now we have a new new.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Actor on the on the show on the radio drama
Rain Lorain, I call it a different name, Loraina and Raz.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
You sent all those groovy songs back in the day.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
So if you want to get your songs played now,
you got to update the tunes because of Lorraine. Ah,
are you playing any of the Malord music, Loraine?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Because there are a bunch of songs in there.

Speaker 6 (19:07):
But I thought about it the other day, Ben, you
did I did. I thought about it, but I didn't
actually do it.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
You didn't do it.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, so we should do like one to night. I
think one to night is enough and some nights because
because eventually what we do here the company mandates in
December only Christmas music. So what we have done is
we've built an archive of phone springing. We've built an
archive of music Christmas music, malord theme, Christmas music.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
That you're that your listeners made. Yes, yes, so Pardy
Christmas songs.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Yeah, there's a whole We have a whole album that
we've gotten over the years. And now you're not going
to be mentioned in any of them, but we'll get
your name in some of them. But a guy like Ras,
he's a very talented musician in Minnesota, and he he's.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Sent in a bunch of stuff.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I mean, we've got our buddy in Flint, Michigan, who's
sent a few in uh obviously Ohio, al and.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Our buddy in Richmond. So there's a few of the
guys that are sending in music.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
Jason the Diamond Man, right sinceys Blake Griffin retired, he
made the Clippers the People's Champion was CP three and
DeAndre he gets a thirty two on that pro bouncy
ball malamnologue. Yeah, I look at Blake Griffin kind of
like a Mike Piazza, like Mike Piazza is he was

(20:29):
a big star if you remember who that is. We
talked about the secual of my podcast this past week
and somebody emailed me on the Fifth Hour podcast and
asked me about Mike Piazza. Will he ever make up
with the Dodgers. He was the biggest star in LA
in the nineties. They traded him to the Marlins, and
Piazza essentially the Dodgers are dead to him. He considers

(20:51):
himself a Met not a Dodger. Even though he was amazing,
It was more popular as a Dodger than he was.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
As a Met. And but he just wants nothing to
do with the Dodger.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
And I gotta think Blake Griffin's gonna be like that, because,
to be fair, I would feel the same way. The
Clippers gave him a big contract. They talked about putting
a statue and retiring his number when they move into
this new arena and he's gonna be a Clipper for
life and all that, and then they, like, less than
a year later, I think.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
They traded him.

Speaker 1 (21:17):
That's kind of dirty. I'm a little dirty.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
That's a little dirty, you know, that's uh, you know,
you can't be talking like that. And then you don't
actually follow through.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
That's not so good and not that's so good, I
believe anyway. So how about this one video from the
bowels of the arena there in Chicago that's got a
corporate name on it. A hobble, Jimmy Butler leaving the
gymnasium there and a noticeable limp as he walked away,

(21:54):
and many predicting that that's it, he's cooked, he's done,
he's out out, sayonara, see you later, and he is
not going to play.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
That is it. He lost. They have one more chance.
You gotta beat the Bulls.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
But the report from scham Sharania or as Charles Barkley
called them shams, and I've called them that too. Butler,
suppose he has an mcl injury, certainly looked like something's wrong.
It's hard to know for sure, because these guys are
really good Thespians in the NBA, they're really good actors,
and so you don't know for sure. Speaking of hobbling,

(22:32):
if you did watch the Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta
Hawks game, you saw what you saw amazing by the
way I said, Jimmy Butler left the arena in Chicago,
was Philadelphia in Chicago.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
In Chicago, the Bulls friendly fire.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
We had a player go down with friendly fire, which
is always entertaining.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
And this is.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Alex Caruso, a little guy, he's a glue guy, ale
energy guy, which means he's not that good at basketball.
But Alex Caruso, this is classic three stooges vaudevillian type
performance here. So let me kind of set this.

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Up for you.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Hawks Bowls. Second quarter, early second quarter.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
The Hawks get the rebound, they're going back on offense,
so the Bulls are going back on defense. And right
at the mid court strip where that Chicago Bulls logo
is painted there, Alex Russo is going back. He's looking
at the ball, he's backing up, he's backpedaling. And Andre Drummond,

(23:41):
a very large human being. There's a lot of a
lot of things going on there with Andre Drummer and
he comes running down while facing Alex Caruso and somehow
collides with Alex Caruso. Co down goals Caruso. Drummond had
stepped on his foot, and yeah, he's probably gonna have

(24:02):
to have that amputated, so that'll be a big time
injury for him.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
So good luck, good luck.

Speaker 3 (24:08):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
No, I'm sure there'll be a Mallord monologue on this.
Oh okay, but news out of the NBA.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, you want to bet there'll be
a malle monologue.

Speaker 4 (24:24):
I said, yeah, Well, livetime ban at the NBA. You
go and John Tay Porter of the Toronto Raptors banned
for life for violating the league's gambling rules. Investigation revealed
that he had disclosed confidential information to betters that he did.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
Everything wrong, anything, everything you're not supposed to do.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
He did.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
He checked every box.

Speaker 4 (24:46):
Yeah, limited his participation in at least one game while
he was with the Raptors.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
He bet against the Raptors.

Speaker 4 (24:51):
That's a good one. Bet on NBA games while playing
in the G League. At least that's what the the
information is. Probably.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
I'm sure he probably did it elsewhere against the Raptors.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
Bet on NBA games, on the G League. I'm sure
he bet on NBA.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
His coach had the great dark Old Ryokovic said, it's
a complete crap.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is what he.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
So?

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Yeah, Porter, bye bye?

Speaker 1 (25:18):
How awkward is that his brother plays for the Denver Nuggets.
How awkward is his brother? Now? Is he going to
be allowed to attend an NBA game to watch?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Like? How does that work?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
His brother is literally on the Nuggets right now they're
in the playoffs?

Speaker 2 (25:33):
Lakers?

Speaker 4 (25:33):
Good question?

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, is he completely? What what happened? Do he do
like face recognition when he shows up the Bobby Valentine
with the fake glasses in the nose? But Michael Porter Jr.
That's a that you How's how's those Thanksgiving dinner is
going to be the Christmas dinners?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
And they get together for.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Fire to go play overseas? You think or will they
honor this ban over there?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
That is a that is a great question.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
I would think that when the NBA bands who you're
banned from? And it's not like he's that good anyway,
you know, it's like what we will we will cover
that and I look forward to that. And yes, I
I do eight million commercials for gambling. I realize that
I like gambling, but I also understand that there are

(26:25):
certain you know, how you say, like the thin blue
line and the police and the red line and fire
and gambling.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
What's the line called. I don't know the brown line line,
the green line, yea, the green line.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
Sure, it is the Ben Mallor show. As we are rolling, rolling,
rolling on, Let's get to the calls. We have not
taken a call yet, which might mean the show is good,
might mean it's bad. Let's go to Brooklyn and we'll
say hello to Mike in Brooklyn. Oh, he's gone. Mike
could not hang on, So we will say hello to
Eeny Meani Miney Mode. Let's say hello to Connor, who's

(26:59):
in northern California.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Hello, Connor, Hey, how you doing? Ben All Connor?

Speaker 1 (27:07):
If I was any better Connor, I'd be a splash brother.
But not not Klay Thompson because he went over ten yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
Christy with him going, I think one of the worst
awful takes I've ever had I've ever heard of my
entire life from my warriors is getting her tin to
that the most you can uh from trading them for something.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (27:35):
That with the talk is people are recommending the trade
of Steph Curry.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Just blow the whole thing up, just u you know,
in in demo, Uh, they tear the house down to
the studs and then they build it back up.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
You know you can do that. There's yeah, but well.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
Do you do you really want to go back to
the dark ages of Warriors basketball, Like, at least at
least with Steph Curry, you'll be you know, you'll be
at the bottom of the West, but you'll be in
a playoff contention in.

Speaker 7 (28:02):
Service even even at Curry steaming Tonard.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Can they bring it if they are planning on sucking.
I don't know how old the Donald Foyle is. He
might be fifty now, but maybe they can track him
down and bring Can they bring back Mike Montgomery as
the coach?

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Is he available? I have no idea that's before Is
that before your time?

Speaker 7 (28:30):
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
It was a long time ago they were. Let's put
it this way. So when I uh, in the early
days of Fox Sports Radio, we had Mike Mike Montgomery
is the coach. He used to go to Stanford, but
he's the coach of the Warriors, right Connor. So we
had him on. I was doing it, I was doing
show with Chris Myers, and we had Mike Montgomery on
every week. And the Warriors were so bad in those

(28:53):
days that we never asked him about the Warriors because
we didn't.

Speaker 7 (28:57):
Really care about.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, we didn't care about Baron Davis or Speedy Claxton
or any of those other cats that were playing at
that time. So we just we just asked some random
questions about other things.

Speaker 7 (29:10):
Yeah, so bring Mike Countgomery back if it's so terrible
when he's back there.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, Oh, they were bad for I think Mike Montgomery
is almost eighty, so I don't know that you want
to I don't think he wants to work anymore. I
think he's probably he's probably good with that. Yeah, all right,
all right, Connor, thank you so much. Where he goes,
only he knows, all right. Is the the Ben Malors Show.
As we continue on further and further into the night time,

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Game, which we will get to in a moment, but
first we got to pick this off. So the moonlighting
in basketball, but really being a shoe salesman. That would
be Caitlin Clark, the number one pick some team called
the Indiana Fire. We're told that's in the w NBA and.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
She has fever.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
What I say, fire?

Oh man, I'm such a huge fan.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
No, never heard of that team anyway.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
Anyway, Yes, fever fever, Yeah, fever. It's a spin off
of flavor. Flavor anyway. So Kaitlyn Clark has gotten a
massive contract to sell basketball shoes. She's a shoe salesman
now for Nike. Eight figure deal with the Swoosh and

(32:19):
she will have her own signature Nike shoes. So we asked, Eddie,
will you be getting the Caitlin Clark shoe?

Speaker 1 (32:28):
No, you will not be doing that Cooper loop. You're
gonna go out and buy some Caitlin Clark shoes. You're
gonna purchase that?

Probably not?

Speaker 4 (32:36):
How about LORENAA.

Speaker 6 (32:38):
I haven't looked at them yet, Ben, but if someone
bought them for me, I would I wear them.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Are you trying to get somebody listening to open up
their wallet?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
I have size six feet. They have not they well,
why God, that is blatant, that is over the top.
But they have not made them.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
It's a struggle just to get some little Debbie cakes.
For God? Does she want shoes? For God's sakes?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Now, Eddie, did you pick up your tasty cakes that were?

Speaker 4 (33:01):
I did? Indeed you did?

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
I was concerned they were sitting there when I left,
and I was worried that there they might be there
and then like somebody would have come over there, maybe
LeVar one of the guys and eating them all.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
You know.

Speaker 4 (33:11):
I did enjoy my uh my pancake syrup flavored tasty cake.
Do you guys like that?

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Yes?

Speaker 8 (33:17):
It was delicious.

Speaker 6 (33:18):
I didn't try that one yet.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
I only had the creamed one today, the white brown one.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
Yeah, that was pretty good. I had that. I had
the banana cream which was which was solid.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
That was so that was it. I can't I can't
eat as much as I used to eat. I have
to paste myself here, which sucks.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
I mean back in the day, I would have eaten
all of that.

Speaker 8 (33:37):
I missed the actual bananas in the the banana cream
pie banana flavor.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, was that because maybe Lorraine Oh.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Got anything that was banana? To me? I didn't feel any.

Speaker 4 (33:49):
I was no, there were there.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
There aren't any real bananas in there.

Speaker 8 (33:51):
But just like when I'm eating and I'm thinking, oh,
like banana cream pie, but it's just it's just not
it's not the same pudding.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
Well, I mean that's all banana cream pie really is,
is just putting in bananas.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Yeah. The pudding is the key part.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
I'll chop you up bananas next time.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Coop. Oh thank you?

Speaker 1 (34:09):
Oh okay, are you gonna make a banana cream pie
cause that's my favorite pie. If you if you look
at my favorite if you look at big no, it's no, no,
it's my.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
It was mine. No, No, I'm older than you, so
it is mine.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
So if you look at my big board to pies,
banana cream the king of the pie right there, and
it's not even closer.

Speaker 2 (34:25):
It's like Secretariat way out in front. That's a horse reference.
That's a horse reference.
