Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our damn bird two. Now, when
you are a gas bag and you do the original
recipe bet Maloshow podcast, you're looking for interesting storylines. You're
not so much worried about who wins the game, unless
you happen to bet on it. You're worried about the storyline.
And in the Boston Miami game, there is no story.
(00:21):
The Celtics led from soup to nuts. The team from
Miami raised the white flight, but that's where the story is.
Now that the Heat have been eliminated and the Celtics
have advanced to the semi finals, what does pat Riley
do to fix this Miami Heat roster which looks like
it needs a lot of work. Also in Arizona, the
(00:42):
Phoenix pro bouncy ball owner went on a rant about
everything's fine here. Everyone wants to have our players and
our roster and all that. What does that rant by
Suns owner Matt Eshbi a signal to you? And also
something left on the cutting room floor, which is kind
of a big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We'll get to that as well, and much much more.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
In addition to Charles Barkley, and is Charles Barkley.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Part of the NBA media rights negotiations. Is he being.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Used as a trophy if you will, We'll get to
that right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It is our number two.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Lost in a cloud of green steam, well gum. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,
we are in the air Evy where jointly as we
are the last outpost of Outcast Coast Coast bord on
(01:43):
the border and beyond on the mast and routely powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live from the drums, playing inside
your ear drums, providing marginal sports talk all night long.
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyer rack dot com will help you get there and
(02:07):
unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers of Buddy John Tyler the
Hall of Famer. You thought that was cool, tyre rack
dot Com The Way Tire Buying Show, be pro Bouncy
(02:28):
Ball on the menu. Yet again, we will work our
way back to NBA Drama O Rama, the Mavericks running
the Clippers off the court in La Laland. And so
that means there will be a game six and then
after that of Game seven, people overreacting being prisoners of
the malment because Dallas won.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
In a route or route.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
But our lead this hour coming from the Commonwealth the
NBA Playoff Palooza, where the final margin of both games
was a combined over six points. The Celtics and Heat
in Game five of the Eastern Conference opening round series.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It was the early, early card, early part of the card,
perhaps not Jalen Brown and Derek White, yet again the
expert Derek White, each of them scoring twenty five points
as the Boston basketball team advanced in a laugher to
the Eastern Conference semi finals. They beat the hobbled Heat
(03:29):
and there was no glimmer of hope in this game
from Miami oneint eighteen to eighty four. As that's it.
Boston will now face the winner of the Cleveland Orlando series.
The Cadavers have a three to two lead in that series.
Game six is tomorrow Tomorrow Friday night in or Lando.
(03:50):
So you let me know how that goes. You can
do some scouting, you can watch that, let me know
how that goes. So this game no content at all.
There's really nothing to dissect from the game. Clearly, the
Celtics without Christops Porzingis it didn't matter against a bewildered, beaten,
(04:13):
and broken Miami Heat team as the Heat without Jimmy
Buckets and several other key players, and they never led
Miami and the show by as many as thirty seven.
So the better story is in the losing locker room.
So that is where we will focus.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Won't spend too.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Much time on this, but the question what does pat Riley,
What does Ryle's do? What does pat Riley do to
fix this Heat roster which clearly has broken the Heat
culture and all that that didn't really work when you
don't have good players. So my observations, I've got ABC
overdosing and arm Candy and we will toss all of
(04:53):
these things together and we are going.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
To baffle you with bull crap is what we're going
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So number Wright enough, pat Riley, I know one thing.
I don't know a lot, but I know what. Pat
Riley's not gonna sit there drinking my tie and in
his banana hammock there on the beach in Miami, twiddling
(05:21):
his thumbs. That's not gonna happen. This is going to
be compelling theater for those of us that dabble in
the ancient art of gas baggery. All cards are on
the table.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I see a dimension in my Crystal Ball where Miami
gets out of business with Jimmy Buckets. Now I like
Jimmy Butler, but Jimmy Butther is getting hurt a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He's getting older, and at some point you got to
cut the cord.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You gotta put your food down and move on by
some other food because the food's going bad.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And then you got.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Bam out a bio who's younger, but he's a guy
that you'd likely have to trade in cahoots with other
players to get something of value in return. So those guys,
Jimmy Bucketts, judge, he's not guaranteed to come back to
need this bad out of Bible. But pat Riley, Riley,
he's got a reservation. He's going to visit the Sorcerer's workshop.
(06:14):
That's where he's got Sorcerer's workshop, and he's got to
cook up a new potion. The potion they've been using
doesn't work. It's not working right now. It was supposed
to be the Dame train. Remember this whole season was
going to be Dame Lillard back in the Eastern Conference
for the first time, and he's gonna lead Miami to
the Promised Land. But the Blazers would not capitulate, and
the owners got upset because Dame said, I'm only playing
(06:36):
for Miami. So the owner of the Blazer you want
to bat and then went to Milwaukee and then the
rest is history. So who are the next wave of
stars that Miami can get their hands on in the
transfer portal? So I'm looking at who's available and all
(06:57):
kidding aside, it's like that old ABC show from million
years ago thirty something. It's Lebron, James Paul George, Clay Thompson,
James Harden, Tobias Aris, Pascal Siakam. They are all expected
to be available depending on contract opouts. All of them
are either in their early thirties or late thirties, and
(07:18):
all of them carry a different degree of falling star status. So,
pat Riley, you gotta think outside the box now when
you go to Miami. When you play in Miami is
a couple of teams. We all know the team's LA
any team in LA Any team in Miami.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Which is only one.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
But you can get pretty much whoever you want because
everyone wants to play there, So even guys that are
under contract, you could see a scenario where the Heat
could get one of those guys.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There'd have to be some kind.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Of kerfluffle between the agent and the team and a demand,
not happy, not satisfied, didn't go far enough in the playoffs,
and all of a sudden, you can It's like a
claw machine.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You can kind of manipulate the little stuffed animal and
get it where you want. Now, speaking of manipulation, we head.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Now to Air Arizona. The Suns are eliminated by the
Minnesota Pro Bouncy Ball team. The state of the Team
address always fun. Matt Ishbia trying to get a gold
star near his name for his State of the Sun's address.
He rejected the negative media people and the vibrations, the
(08:30):
vibrations around the Suns, he said. Quote ask the other
twenty nine gms, Mattishpia said, twenty six of them would
trade listen to this their whole team for our whole
team and our draft picks and everything. As is, the
Suns don't have any first round picks till twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
But wait, there's more. The Sun's owner, also.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Continuing his around. He said, the narrative that the house
is burning is incorrect. The Phoenix Suns are doing great, excellent,
not as good as we want to be. Ishbias stated,
not as good as we're going to do next year.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And that's what we're going to figure out.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What we've got to tweak, modify and adjust to win
a championship next year.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Close quote A.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Right, So let's discuss what does this rant by the
Suns owner Matt Ishbia signal to you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, I'm gonna go first. So this is the positive
affirmations strategy, right, it's a positive affirmation strategy, trying to
speak it into reality. Ishbia thinks, if you believe at
face value that ninety percent of the NBA general managers
are morons, they are moron.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And now, the one that is really the key part
of this, the thing that's the key part of this rant.
If I could speak, that would help. But the thing
that is a key part of this is what wasn't said,
what was left on the cutting room floor. At no
point I watched this. I didn't see him say this.
Maybe I missed it. I watched the video that was
available online. At no point did Matt Ishbia say that
(10:09):
Frank Vogel is my coach. He's gonna come back. Frank
Vogel is burnt toast. He's Jim Nance Toast. He's burnt toast.
The Phoenix owner kept his mouth shut when it came
to Frank Vogel and his future on the sidelines. That's
what we call muddy waters, is what that is now.
Ishbia is equal parts egotistical and delusional. He's currently overdosing
(10:30):
on Hubris as we speak. But since we do the
show from a little town called Realityville, living in Realityville,
I'm the mayor of Realityville. The Suns right now, at this.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Moment in time, Right at this moment in.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Time, they have a top heavy roster with an aging
superstar who has bohemian tendencies and is more likely to
ask for a trade than to be part of the solution.
Shout out Kevin Durant. He's right now on his burner
sending nasty things my way. But the roster doesn't appear
(11:03):
to fit together. Bradley Beale, for all the hype that
he got coming out of Washington, he was a zero.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And there's not a lot of wiggle room.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
There's not other than trading Devin Booker, which you don't
want to do apparently, so good luck.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
All right, final point. We mentioned this in a previous
episode of the show. We'll bring it up again. I
think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So the NBA, which many people do not like to watch,
according to the feedback I get. I get a lot
of vitriol. Why are you talking so much about the.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
NBA every time this time of the year, every spring.
It's the same thing. But the NBA is closing in on.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
A mega, mega, mega millions deal with and b C,
So those of you that hate the NBA will fly
into a tantrum. But it's a big media rights deal. Now,
it's not one hundred percent done yet. It's possible that
they will work some kind of opromise. The early scenario
(12:02):
says that Turner Sports would be on. Now there are
some other people say Turner would keep some NBA games,
which is not as many. But if they are out,
If Turner is out of this and NBC takes the
package of NBA games from them, Charles Barkley is in play.
He revealed that he can get out of his deal,
(12:24):
that he can't get out of his deal, and he
would be willing to do so if TNT does not
end up keeping the NBA package if they lose the rights. Barkley,
in a recent interview said quote he covered his ass.
He said, I covered my ass. He signed a ten
year contract. I can't imagine having a ten year contract.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
He signed a ten year contract and two years ago
there's an opt out tossed in. So this has led
to speculation about the round mound of basketball talking rebound
and his broadcasting future. So the question, is Charles Barkley
a part of this NBA media rights negotiation? And while
(13:09):
he's not at the very front of it, I would argue, yes,
I'm gonna nod my head, Yes, that Charles Barkley in
this equation.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
If what I know is true, Charles.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Barkley is the arm candy for every boob tube executive.
And I know some of the people at NBC from
what I know, they would love to have Charles bark Who.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Wouldn't want to have it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's a captain obvious right, everyone would want Charles Barkley.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
He's the prize. Barkley is the prize.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Barkley makes every other jocksniffing ex athlete look like a boob.
Charles Barkley's at what he does wonderful, and you get
these other hacks like Kendrick Perkins and these other dopes
that are terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
But Barkley's not.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He's the tour de force and Barkley, if he's available,
he's likely going to double his cellar.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
He's going to get the king's reign.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Some he can ask whatever wants, literally a blank check,
and whatever the amount is, they will match it. It
is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like to

how Robin Vegas writes, Since says solid monologue, Benjamin, I'll
give you a B plus to be fair. Matt Eshbia
(16:42):
is a Michigan State grad, so we all know he's
not that smart. Rob slight bias there towards a certain
other college in Michigan that has Jim Harbaugh used to
coach there back in the day. He says, go great
to be back on the West coast. V Las Vegas.
Rob has returned. He says, all right, very nice, Robin Vegas.
(17:08):
He also said some ask Ben questions. We'll get to
that later.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Bill's Monster says, the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Are going to win a championship just like the Buffalo
Bills are. It's gonna happen. It's absolutely gonna happen. He didn't,
he said some nonsense, Derek, the Bills monster about how
they're connected to Buffalo because they were the Buffalo Braves.
But technically, financially speaking, if you look it up, and
I'm not lying.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Here, the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
The way it was explained to me, when the Clippers
moved to San Diego from Buffalo, there was a deal
made with the guy that owned the Celtics, and the
finance is the business of the Boston Celtics became the
San Diego Clippers and the Buffalo Braves. Their finances were
exchanged with the Celtics. It was like a trade of
(17:55):
teams to allow the Clippers to go to the West Coast.
You can look it up, but it's it's implicated. But
technically the Clippers of the old Celtics. No, how about that,
Chip and the Q says a plus on the Mallard monologue.
Of course every sports network would want Charles Barkley. Well,
only if he promises to keep his ass covered. Super
Market Steve, the man that has created so much drama
(18:16):
because he's got the proper tech guy entire life in
the grocery industry, or, as they say in Canada, the
buggy the buggy industry. Super Market Steve says, if Charles
Barkley went to NBC, they would use him in the
football broadcast as well. That would immediately become my new
favorite pregame.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Show, says super Market Steve. Yeah, we might even use
him on Benny Versus the Penny. Maybe we'll put him
on there. Benny versus the Penny could happen. You know
what else? We have page down.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Ahead news right since, says the California Higher Control taking
out the trash on the UCLA quad all night long.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
He says, all right, that's I don't know how we
relate to that. What else do we have? Page down?
We'll skip over. That's go to the phones. The people
would like to speak and let's say hello.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Let's uh, I guess hollering hollering James fell asleep yet again.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
All right, bad job by him. No hollering James. He
was on hold, but he apparently hung up.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So you kid, Get off my lawn. You kids, get
off my lawn. Lebron James a recent run. Now Lebron
he wants to spend time with his family, But apparently
Lebron James actually just he just wants to hang out
Lebron and do podcasts, he said recently, after the Lakers
(19:43):
were exterminated from the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets. Everyone
loves the Nuggets when they beat the Lakers. Anyway, Lebron said,
I've realized the players only watch highlights and don't actually
watch basketball. He complained, Now this has been a complaint
before TikTok. There used to be a time there was
(20:05):
this show. It's not popular, nobody watches it anymore, But
there used to be a show called Sports Center, and
I heard stories from people that everyone got their basketball
or their sports from the show called Sports Center, and
that people would complain that they only showed a few
highlights and they didn't show the full game, and it's
(20:26):
not a great way to learn about the game and
to study the game. So then we went from that,
and then nobody watches that anymore. The Wolks was over
there at Sports Center, so that's done. So now they've
moved to TikTok and Instagram and all that. But I
love Lebron complaining that the players today they're not students
of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
They don't watch the basketball. That's it said.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I've realized they only watched the highlights and they don't
watch the basketball. He can play into the man he
supposedly wants to be the next Laker coach, JJ Reddick.
I'm all for that, Jjkinson, just as much as Darvin
Ham or any of these other clowns that have coached you.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Suck Now.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
The other thing about Lebron, he also complained, Well, I
don't know the complain is the right word. I don't
think I should use the word complain. I'd like to
retract the word complain. I don't want to use the
word complain. That's not the right word. So I take
the word complain back. Lebron asserted, how about that? He
asserted that no, he said f No NBA coach executive
(21:28):
has ever approached him about shot selection.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, that's what he said. He said F.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, he did not say hell. He said the F word,
which we're not allowed to say. He said that franken
Meins is.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But he did another rantier. Lebron says, I'm not a
guy to go out and cast a bunch of shots.
He then patted himself on the back. I think he
pulled the muscle. He said, I try to get every possession.
You can't always get the best shot.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, Lebron, wonderful shot selection.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Clearly, there was a time you could have gone up
to Lebron James, like Paul Silas, who I believe was
Lebron's coach in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He's not around anymore, but he was. He was great.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And Fox Sports Radio actually got Paul Silas removed as
coach because one of the editors was recording a news
conference and there was something that I don't think was
for air that got aired, and it was I forget
exactly what Paul Silas said.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I knew it for a long time, but it's been so.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Long and he's not around anymore anyway, but there's something
that he said and it was very offensive to some
people and they had to get rid of them. Of course,
it didn't help the team sucked, but that would be
the guy that could have said.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Hey, Lebron, don't do this, You're not doing it right.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
And then after that, most of Lebron's coaches have been puppets.
He wants that he's the smartest guy in the room.
Just to ask him, he'll tell you he has all.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
The answers to the test and all that. So just
let it be. Let it be.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Did you see what we know?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
We talked about this before the knickt Sixers series, right,
we had the New York invasion there in Philadelphia. A
lot of New York fans showed up in Philadelphia and
Joel and.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I was not happy about that.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, seventy six Ers ownership trying to try to change that.
And apparently they bought two thousand tickets that were available
for Game six and they will be giving those away
to locals, first responders, healthcare professionals, and folks like that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Check to see if you have any relatives in the
northern New Jersey, New York area.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Possibly possibly, I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Know, tecking family trees see what's going on.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
So we'll see if that works for the Sixers to
try and keep the want.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
To touch up your work, Ady, I think you buried
the lead though.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Okay, because I know you'd never touch up by work.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
The all sales are final, Eddie. The last two minute report,
did you see this? The last two minute report says
that the Tyrese Maxie comeback should.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Not have been allowed, Eddie, that the.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Officials fed up the game every other game though. I know,
so what's the point of releasing it if you're not
going to replay the game. I don't understand. You're just
you're just frustrating people. But anyway, Tyre's ma. Actually that
four point play turns out he traveled on the play.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
There's no such thing as traveling in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He had the two minute report, it says he traveled
in the four point play. The only traveling in the
NBA is when they go to the chartered flights.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
That's what traveling they do in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
But accordingly the last two minute report, the last two
minute report, Tyrese Maxie should not have gotten the four
point play because in even the three point shot, because
he he traveled, he took too many steps. Speaking of that,
I saw the seventy six ers in the in the Knicks.
Both fan base is upset because game six a late
(25:03):
night start. In game six, that is the late game,
as that game will start at nine o'clock local time
in Philly and New York as the Knickerbockers again try
to close it out. And to that, I say, hey,
you're's a TV show. You should be honored. That gets
the most bang for the buck. TV pays the bills,
(25:24):
and they want the West Coast to be engaged. I
don't know how many people on the West Coast care
about the seventy six ers in the Knicks, but they
want that game to be played where people have access
to that game, and so they're gonna play it in
the late television window.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We got a fun fact. We got a fun fact.
We got a fun fact. We got a maler fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
All right, So on this picture, I'm gonna butcher the
guy's name the Japanese pitcher for the Cubs, Shota Imanaga
is his name. And this guy right now is don't
make me say his name again, but this guy is
going to at the end of April start of May
is the cy young winner in the clubhouse. Now, unfortunately
they still have to play all the way till October.
(26:08):
But this guy has been what Yamamoto was supposed to
be for the Dodgers, and so far he had a
good start in the game last night on Wednesday, But
for the most part he has not been nearly as advertised.
But this Shota Ima Naga. He has made now six
starts in the big leagues for the Cubbies. He has
more wins five than walks.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Aloud. Let me repeat that for those of you in
the back of the room.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
The new cub pitcher from Japan has now made six
starts and has more wins than walks and his innings
pitched this season.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Let me look up how many innings he's pitched. Here
he is. He's in the thirties. He's in the thirties
so far.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Pitched six games, five wins and no losses.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, I know you're a little impressed.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
I know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Try to try to stay com try to stay Come.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Let's say hello to Saint Nick, who is up next
on the Big radio show?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Hello, Saint Nick?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
What's that big man?
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
How are we doing well?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
If I was any better, I would be a podcaster,
But not podcast p because he missed just about every
key shot he took in that game last night for
the Clippers.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
You got base for radio.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
This is great, get it up the clips.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
I could die tonight, that's all I know.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I mean, there's no way there, there's no.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Way to see Game seven.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah. How the Lakers? Do they have another game to play?
Do they have another game?
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Oh? Yeah, no ye?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
And I did lose money on that bet.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Yeah good.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I hope I hope you lost everything. I hope you
lost your car. I hope you lost your house.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I hope you helped you.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I hope you lost that twenty buck. Let me tell
you something, Saint Nick. That twenty bucks, you could have
bet on the roulette wheel. You could have doubled your money.
Bet on red.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You would have doubled your money. Then you could have
gone to the crabs table. You could have bet on that.
You could have trippled your money.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You could kept doing it, Saint Nick. But you didn't
do it, Nick, And so that twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Dollars, that's my place. You could have traveled to a
place where it's legal. You could have traveled in the state.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And you're not a saint. By the way, this is
a very unholy phone call. You're making a Saints call
up the bat.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You realize that it's your birthday and your clippers, and
I feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Now, well, why would you?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Clearly you know you should go go buy a que
tip and clean your ear drum out? How about that?
You must have a lot of that that orange gunk
in your ear, that's.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Why that's that's agative.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
But well, that's not what I'm hearing. That's not what
I have a word for. Ado in the face for
TV so I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, I actually have a TV show, so I guess
I have both. Thank you, stick.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Let's go to Mark the Full Name Guy. What's going on?
Mark the Full Name Guy?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Hello, Ben Ma I'm not sorry to hear that. I'm
so sorry to hear that. Scott the who blind blind
blind blind blind?
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Scott?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't care much for me. That's that's
such a terrible shame.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Are you a big fan of his work or are
you a big fan of Scott's work?
Speaker 7 (29:42):
I am not a big fan.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Is it true you hate the blind community? Is that true?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
No, that's not true, jerk ash. Yeah, No, I'm not
a racist. I don't hate blind people.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
But is that a race? Is the blind? I gotta
check with inc. I don't know. Is that a race
of people. It's gotta be.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Got Yeah, it's got to be a race of people.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
These blind mice, many and many of your phone calls,
Mark have been the blind leading the blind.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So you do relate to the blind community.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
I suppose you could say that, yeah, well, you look
at you.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You agree with me.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I said, a uh, you know you're being reasonable, You're
being sensible.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What's going on with you? I said a joke.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
It was sarcasm and no hurt feelings all of a sudden.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
No, now you know, now, Ben Aller, you you enjoy
freaking at my prickly skin.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And I like to hear your I like that your bus,
I like to hit your buttons.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Love to get my dander up. Because you love reading
those angry emails and tweets it. I think.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I get a lot of very passionate emails from schmucks.
But you, okay, when you go on a rant, you
don't just send me an email.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You send me like a book.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I mean it is my mother was terrible, my dad
was over. You go through the whole family tree, right,
you go through the whole family tree, and your uncle,
your uncle, your uncle mel.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
He has a Dunce cap On. You know, I know
that your aunt boy.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
She's she's a stumblebump. You just go through the whole thing,
and I love it.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Yeah, I know you do. Yeah, not only that. And
you love those stories I send you, and you and
you love those angry tweets. You really get that.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Well, I don't know if it turned on. I don't
think it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I don't think it's a sexual thing. I don't believe that.
But I just appreciate the fact that you spend hours.
You're crazy when you get worked up. You're crazier than
an outhouse rodent when you get worked up wild.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yeah, acc admit I have quite an imagination when it
comes to.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
To the yeah, to the terrible things that should be
to the terrible things that should be done to me.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yes, absolutely so.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Now I'm not going to go into details about why
blind Scott is upset with me, but I will just
say this. I'll kind of beat around the bush and
say I don't prove of some of his lifestyle choices,
shall we say?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And I understand that I can't we all get along?
Can we all get along? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Well, just my position of that mark very nuanced. Just
don't shove anything down my throat.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I'm good. That's all I know.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
I will do that absolutely. It's non secret or of
them about the thought that you about the uh Harbo
is now going to be coaching the other LA football team.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yes, that's how they changed. They changed their name.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
They changed their name him from the Chargers to the
other LA football team.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Yes, yes, the other LA football team that seems to
have none of their own fans.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Can you sum it up?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Oh, my god, one line we've got.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
We don't have the entire night.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
One line.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
What's the question?
Speaker 7 (33:19):
So are the are the Chargers in the Rams going
to develop a local rivalry?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
No, they won't because they don't play. They don't play
each other enough.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
That doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
It does matter. You gotta play each other. I have
a real rivalry. You gotta play each other. Don't play
each other.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
He played each other once every four years.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
You can have a rivalry strictly in the media.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You know, No, there's no listen, there's only one. There
was one guy in the LA media that was a buzzsaw, TJ. Simers,
But he's not in the LA media anymore. Everyone in
the media they licked toes. That's all I got, I
gotta go, thank you. It's a bunch of suck ups
in the LA media. I don't rip anybody, but mostly fanboys.
That's who they are, that's how they operate. There is
(34:06):
one guy my entire life doing stuff in LA one
guy that ripped anybody.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
TJ. That was it. All right, time now for the
install trivia.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And here we go, Here we go. We will have
coming up Mallard of the thirty degree. But here's the
instant trivia.
Speaker 2 (34:21):

Durant and Rush the last the Rand and West.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
But here we God, how about that?
Speaker 2 (37:05):
To the third degree.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
I just said that this is one thing that gets
grilled Wodalu.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
The San Antonio Spurs only had twenty two wins this season,
and yet on Tuesday, Magic Johnson said the team will
definitely make the playoffs next year.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Ben, are you on board with his prediction?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Well, first off, Magic Johnson said it he's seen the
advanced script for next NBA season, so obviously that's being written.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
But yeah, listen, I do think the Spurs.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Are gonna make the playoffs because they will go out
and get a playoff. It's gonna make a difference. And
the NBA needs Wemby. They need Wemby to be a
big deal. They need Wemby to matter. They need the
Parisian projecty to matter. You don't matter if you don't
make the playoffs.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
Next Gerard Mayo said in a recent interview that Bill
Belichick probably would have traded back from the number three
spot to get more picks. Ben, do you think that's
true and would have been the better move? Yes, A,
I think it's true. B. It's Gerrod Mayo patting himself
on the back. See, we're doing things different. We're not
like Belichick, you massholes. We're better than Belichick.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
And see I think they drafted a guy that stinks
in Drake may So it would have been the better move.
I'm not impressed with Drake may and I will I
be proven wrong. We'll find out, But I don't think
this guy's all that. I think's his His ceiling is
an average quarterback in the NFL. But it's nice if
Girod Mayo had pat himself on the back next.
Speaker 8 (38:24):
Pop Pierce suggested this week that Donovan Mitchell would be
the perfect target for the Lakers. Ben, do you think
the Cows will look to trade to Mitchell?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
And it sounds like Mitchell's does not want to sign
an extension in Cleveland, And there have been whispers that
he's like all these other NBA guys. He spends time
in the offseason in LA, even though he's an East
Coast guy, spends time in LA, spends time in Miami.
So he's in play. He is absolutely in play for
the Lakers, and I wouldn't be smiled that my entire life.
(38:53):
They've gotten every big name that they want, they get
every FN big name.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
It's ridiculous. Anyway, how did we don kooble out as
this edition? That is a win?
Speaker 7 (39:02):
I write, I'm the all time wins king of this I've.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Got the most wins of all time. Amaze,
Hello and welcome. It's our damn bird two. Now, when
you are a gas bag and you do the original
recipe bet Maloshow podcast, you're looking for interesting storylines. You're
not so much worried about who wins the game, unless
you happen to bet on it. You're worried about the storyline.
And in the Boston Miami game, there is no story.
(00:21):
The Celtics led from soup to nuts. The team from
Miami raised the white flight, but that's where the story is.
Now that the Heat have been eliminated and the Celtics
have advanced to the semi finals, what does pat Riley
do to fix this Miami Heat roster which looks like
it needs a lot of work. Also in Arizona, the
(00:42):
Phoenix pro bouncy ball owner went on a rant about
everything's fine here. Everyone wants to have our players and
our roster and all that. What does that rant by
Suns owner Matt Eshbi a signal to you? And also
something left on the cutting room floor, which is kind
of a big deal.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We'll get to that as well, and much much more.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
In addition to Charles Barkley, and is Charles Barkley.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Part of the NBA media rights negotiations. Is he being.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Used as a trophy if you will, We'll get to
that right now here.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
It is our number two.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Lost in a cloud of green steam, well gum. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show,
we are in the air Evy where jointly as we
are the last outpost of Outcast Coast Coast bord on
(01:43):
the border and beyond on the mast and routely powerful
microphones of fsre emmating live from the drums, playing inside
your ear drums, providing marginal sports talk all night long.
We are broadcasting live from the tyraq dot com studios.
Tyer rack dot com will help you get there and

over ten thousand recommended installers of Buddy John Tyler the
Hall of Famer. You thought that was cool, tyre rack
dot Com The Way Tire Buying Show, be pro Bouncy
(02:28):
Ball on the menu. Yet again, we will work our
way back to NBA Drama O Rama, the Mavericks running
the Clippers off the court in La Laland. And so
that means there will be a game six and then
after that of Game seven, people overreacting being prisoners of
the malment because Dallas won.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
In a route or route.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
But our lead this hour coming from the Commonwealth the
NBA Playoff Palooza, where the final margin of both games
was a combined over six points. The Celtics and Heat
in Game five of the Eastern Conference opening round series.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I don't know if you saw this.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
It was the early, early card, early part of the card,
perhaps not Jalen Brown and Derek White, yet again the
expert Derek White, each of them scoring twenty five points
as the Boston basketball team advanced in a laugher to
the Eastern Conference semi finals. They beat the hobbled Heat
(03:29):
and there was no glimmer of hope in this game
from Miami oneint eighteen to eighty four. As that's it.
Boston will now face the winner of the Cleveland Orlando series.
The Cadavers have a three to two lead in that series.
Game six is tomorrow Tomorrow Friday night in or Lando.
(03:50):
So you let me know how that goes. You can
do some scouting, you can watch that, let me know
how that goes. So this game no content at all.
There's really nothing to dissect from the game. Clearly, the
Celtics without Christops Porzingis it didn't matter against a bewildered, beaten,
(04:13):
and broken Miami Heat team as the Heat without Jimmy
Buckets and several other key players, and they never led
Miami and the show by as many as thirty seven.
So the better story is in the losing locker room.
So that is where we will focus.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Won't spend too.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Much time on this, but the question what does pat Riley,
What does Ryle's do? What does pat Riley do to
fix this Heat roster which clearly has broken the Heat
culture and all that that didn't really work when you
don't have good players. So my observations, I've got ABC
overdosing and arm Candy and we will toss all of
(04:53):
these things together and we are going.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
To baffle you with bull crap is what we're going
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
So number Wright enough, pat Riley, I know one thing.
I don't know a lot, but I know what. Pat
Riley's not gonna sit there drinking my tie and in
his banana hammock there on the beach in Miami, twiddling
(05:21):
his thumbs. That's not gonna happen. This is going to
be compelling theater for those of us that dabble in
the ancient art of gas baggery. All cards are on
the table.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I see a dimension in my Crystal Ball where Miami
gets out of business with Jimmy Buckets. Now I like
Jimmy Butler, but Jimmy Butther is getting hurt a lot.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
He's getting older, and at some point you got to
cut the cord.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You gotta put your food down and move on by
some other food because the food's going bad.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And then you got.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Bam out a bio who's younger, but he's a guy
that you'd likely have to trade in cahoots with other
players to get something of value in return. So those guys,
Jimmy Bucketts, judge, he's not guaranteed to come back to
need this bad out of Bible. But pat Riley, Riley,
he's got a reservation. He's going to visit the Sorcerer's workshop.
(06:14):
That's where he's got Sorcerer's workshop, and he's got to
cook up a new potion. The potion they've been using
doesn't work. It's not working right now. It was supposed
to be the Dame train. Remember this whole season was
going to be Dame Lillard back in the Eastern Conference
for the first time, and he's gonna lead Miami to
the Promised Land. But the Blazers would not capitulate, and
the owners got upset because Dame said, I'm only playing
(06:36):
for Miami. So the owner of the Blazer you want
to bat and then went to Milwaukee and then the
rest is history. So who are the next wave of
stars that Miami can get their hands on in the
transfer portal? So I'm looking at who's available and all
(06:57):
kidding aside, it's like that old ABC show from million
years ago thirty something. It's Lebron, James Paul George, Clay Thompson,
James Harden, Tobias Aris, Pascal Siakam. They are all expected
to be available depending on contract opouts. All of them
are either in their early thirties or late thirties, and
(07:18):
all of them carry a different degree of falling star status. So,
pat Riley, you gotta think outside the box now when
you go to Miami. When you play in Miami is
a couple of teams. We all know the team's LA
any team in LA Any team in Miami.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Which is only one.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
But you can get pretty much whoever you want because
everyone wants to play there, So even guys that are
under contract, you could see a scenario where the Heat
could get one of those guys.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
There'd have to be some kind.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Of kerfluffle between the agent and the team and a demand,
not happy, not satisfied, didn't go far enough in the playoffs,
and all of a sudden, you can It's like a
claw machine.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You can kind of manipulate the little stuffed animal and
get it where you want. Now, speaking of manipulation, we head.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Now to Air Arizona. The Suns are eliminated by the
Minnesota Pro Bouncy Ball team. The state of the Team
address always fun. Matt Ishbia trying to get a gold
star near his name for his State of the Sun's address.
He rejected the negative media people and the vibrations, the
(08:30):
vibrations around the Suns, he said. Quote ask the other
twenty nine gms, Mattishpia said, twenty six of them would
trade listen to this their whole team for our whole
team and our draft picks and everything. As is, the
Suns don't have any first round picks till twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
But wait, there's more. The Sun's owner, also.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Continuing his around. He said, the narrative that the house
is burning is incorrect. The Phoenix Suns are doing great, excellent,
not as good as we want to be. Ishbias stated,
not as good as we're going to do next year.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And that's what we're going to figure out.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
What we've got to tweak, modify and adjust to win
a championship next year.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Close quote A.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Right, So let's discuss what does this rant by the
Suns owner Matt Ishbia signal to you.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Okay, I'm gonna go first. So this is the positive
affirmations strategy, right, it's a positive affirmation strategy, trying to
speak it into reality. Ishbia thinks, if you believe at
face value that ninety percent of the NBA general managers
are morons, they are moron.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
And now, the one that is really the key part
of this, the thing that's the key part of this rant.
If I could speak, that would help. But the thing
that is a key part of this is what wasn't said,
what was left on the cutting room floor. At no
point I watched this. I didn't see him say this.
Maybe I missed it. I watched the video that was
available online. At no point did Matt Ishbia say that
(10:09):
Frank Vogel is my coach. He's gonna come back. Frank
Vogel is burnt toast. He's Jim Nance Toast. He's burnt toast.
The Phoenix owner kept his mouth shut when it came
to Frank Vogel and his future on the sidelines. That's
what we call muddy waters, is what that is now.
Ishbia is equal parts egotistical and delusional. He's currently overdosing
(10:30):
on Hubris as we speak. But since we do the
show from a little town called Realityville, living in Realityville,
I'm the mayor of Realityville. The Suns right now, at this.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Moment in time, Right at this moment in.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Time, they have a top heavy roster with an aging
superstar who has bohemian tendencies and is more likely to
ask for a trade than to be part of the solution.
Shout out Kevin Durant. He's right now on his burner
sending nasty things my way. But the roster doesn't appear
(11:03):
to fit together. Bradley Beale, for all the hype that
he got coming out of Washington, he was a zero.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
And there's not a lot of wiggle room.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
There's not other than trading Devin Booker, which you don't
want to do apparently, so good luck.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
All right, final point. We mentioned this in a previous
episode of the show. We'll bring it up again. I
think it's interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So the NBA, which many people do not like to watch,
according to the feedback I get. I get a lot
of vitriol. Why are you talking so much about the.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
NBA every time this time of the year, every spring.
It's the same thing. But the NBA is closing in on.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
A mega, mega, mega millions deal with and b C,
So those of you that hate the NBA will fly
into a tantrum. But it's a big media rights deal. Now,
it's not one hundred percent done yet. It's possible that
they will work some kind of opromise. The early scenario
(12:02):
says that Turner Sports would be on. Now there are
some other people say Turner would keep some NBA games,
which is not as many. But if they are out,
If Turner is out of this and NBC takes the
package of NBA games from them, Charles Barkley is in play.
He revealed that he can get out of his deal,
(12:24):
that he can't get out of his deal, and he
would be willing to do so if TNT does not
end up keeping the NBA package if they lose the rights. Barkley,
in a recent interview said quote he covered his ass.
He said, I covered my ass. He signed a ten
year contract. I can't imagine having a ten year contract.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Holy crap.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
He signed a ten year contract and two years ago
there's an opt out tossed in. So this has led
to speculation about the round mound of basketball talking rebound
and his broadcasting future. So the question, is Charles Barkley
a part of this NBA media rights negotiation? And while
(13:09):
he's not at the very front of it, I would argue, yes,
I'm gonna nod my head, Yes, that Charles Barkley in
this equation.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
If what I know is true, Charles.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Barkley is the arm candy for every boob tube executive.
And I know some of the people at NBC from
what I know, they would love to have Charles bark Who.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Wouldn't want to have it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It's a captain obvious right, everyone would want Charles Barkley.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
He's the prize. Barkley is the prize.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Barkley makes every other jocksniffing ex athlete look like a boob.
Charles Barkley's at what he does wonderful, and you get
these other hacks like Kendrick Perkins and these other dopes
that are terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
But Barkley's not.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He's the tour de force and Barkley, if he's available,
he's likely going to double his cellar.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
He's going to get the king's reign.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Some he can ask whatever wants, literally a blank check,
and whatever the amount is, they will match it. It
is the Ben Malor Show. If you would like to

Speaker 6 (16:10):
It's Ben Mallor.

Rolling on the disco open all night. Later this hour

Also, it's the trivia Ask Ben next hour. You can

in yet, hashtag ask Ben. That'll be next hour. Your
questions are answers for a good amount of time. Next
how Robin Vegas writes, Since says solid monologue, Benjamin, I'll
give you a B plus to be fair. Matt Eshbia
(16:42):
is a Michigan State grad, so we all know he's
not that smart. Rob slight bias there towards a certain
other college in Michigan that has Jim Harbaugh used to
coach there back in the day. He says, go great
to be back on the West coast. V Las Vegas.
Rob has returned. He says, all right, very nice, Robin Vegas.
(17:08):
He also said some ask Ben questions. We'll get to
that later.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Bill's Monster says, the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Are going to win a championship just like the Buffalo
Bills are. It's gonna happen. It's absolutely gonna happen. He didn't,
he said some nonsense, Derek, the Bills monster about how
they're connected to Buffalo because they were the Buffalo Braves.
But technically, financially speaking, if you look it up, and
I'm not lying.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Here, the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
The way it was explained to me, when the Clippers
moved to San Diego from Buffalo, there was a deal
made with the guy that owned the Celtics, and the
finance is the business of the Boston Celtics became the
San Diego Clippers and the Buffalo Braves. Their finances were
exchanged with the Celtics. It was like a trade of
(17:55):
teams to allow the Clippers to go to the West Coast.
You can look it up, but it's it's implicated. But
technically the Clippers of the old Celtics. No, how about that,
Chip and the Q says a plus on the Mallard monologue.
Of course every sports network would want Charles Barkley. Well,
only if he promises to keep his ass covered. Super
Market Steve, the man that has created so much drama
(18:16):
because he's got the proper tech guy entire life in
the grocery industry, or, as they say in Canada, the
buggy the buggy industry. Super Market Steve says, if Charles
Barkley went to NBC, they would use him in the
football broadcast as well. That would immediately become my new
favorite pregame.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Show, says super Market Steve. Yeah, we might even use
him on Benny Versus the Penny. Maybe we'll put him
on there. Benny versus the Penny could happen. You know
what else? We have page down.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Ahead news right since, says the California Higher Control taking
out the trash on the UCLA quad all night long.
Speaker 2 (18:59):
He says, all right, that's I don't know how we
relate to that. What else do we have? Page down?
We'll skip over. That's go to the phones. The people
would like to speak and let's say hello.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Let's uh, I guess hollering hollering James fell asleep yet again.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
All right, bad job by him. No hollering James. He
was on hold, but he apparently hung up.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
So you kid, Get off my lawn. You kids, get
off my lawn. Lebron James a recent run. Now Lebron
he wants to spend time with his family, But apparently
Lebron James actually just he just wants to hang out
Lebron and do podcasts, he said recently, after the Lakers
(19:43):
were exterminated from the playoffs by the Denver Nuggets. Everyone
loves the Nuggets when they beat the Lakers. Anyway, Lebron said,
I've realized the players only watch highlights and don't actually
watch basketball. He complained, Now this has been a complaint
before TikTok. There used to be a time there was
(20:05):
this show. It's not popular, nobody watches it anymore, But
there used to be a show called Sports Center, and
I heard stories from people that everyone got their basketball
or their sports from the show called Sports Center, and
that people would complain that they only showed a few
highlights and they didn't show the full game, and it's
(20:26):
not a great way to learn about the game and
to study the game. So then we went from that,
and then nobody watches that anymore. The Wolks was over
there at Sports Center, so that's done. So now they've
moved to TikTok and Instagram and all that. But I
love Lebron complaining that the players today they're not students
of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
They don't watch the basketball. That's it said.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
I've realized they only watched the highlights and they don't
watch the basketball. He can play into the man he
supposedly wants to be the next Laker coach, JJ Reddick.
I'm all for that, Jjkinson, just as much as Darvin
Ham or any of these other clowns that have coached you.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Suck Now.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
The other thing about Lebron, he also complained, Well, I
don't know the complain is the right word. I don't
think I should use the word complain. I'd like to
retract the word complain. I don't want to use the
word complain. That's not the right word. So I take
the word complain back. Lebron asserted, how about that? He
asserted that no, he said f No NBA coach executive
(21:28):
has ever approached him about shot selection.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yeah, that's what he said. He said F.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
No, he did not say hell. He said the F word,
which we're not allowed to say. He said that franken
Meins is.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
What he said.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
But he did another rantier. Lebron says, I'm not a
guy to go out and cast a bunch of shots.
He then patted himself on the back. I think he
pulled the muscle. He said, I try to get every possession.
You can't always get the best shot.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, Lebron, wonderful shot selection.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Clearly, there was a time you could have gone up
to Lebron James, like Paul Silas, who I believe was
Lebron's coach in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He's not around anymore, but he was. He was great.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
And Fox Sports Radio actually got Paul Silas removed as
coach because one of the editors was recording a news
conference and there was something that I don't think was
for air that got aired, and it was I forget
exactly what Paul Silas said.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I knew it for a long time, but it's been so.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Long and he's not around anymore anyway, but there's something
that he said and it was very offensive to some
people and they had to get rid of them. Of course,
it didn't help the team sucked, but that would be
the guy that could have said.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Hey, Lebron, don't do this, You're not doing it right.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
And then after that, most of Lebron's coaches have been puppets.
He wants that he's the smartest guy in the room.
Just to ask him, he'll tell you he has all.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
The answers to the test and all that. So just
let it be. Let it be.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Did you see what we know?
Speaker 5 (23:13):
We talked about this before the knickt Sixers series, right,
we had the New York invasion there in Philadelphia. A
lot of New York fans showed up in Philadelphia and
Joel and.
Speaker 6 (23:24):
I was not happy about that.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Well, seventy six Ers ownership trying to try to change that.
And apparently they bought two thousand tickets that were available
for Game six and they will be giving those away
to locals, first responders, healthcare professionals, and folks like that.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Check to see if you have any relatives in the
northern New Jersey, New York area.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
Possibly possibly, I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Know, tecking family trees see what's going on.
Speaker 6 (23:52):
So we'll see if that works for the Sixers to
try and keep the want.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
To touch up your work, Ady, I think you buried
the lead though.
Speaker 6 (23:58):
Okay, because I know you'd never touch up by work.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
The all sales are final, Eddie. The last two minute report,
did you see this? The last two minute report says
that the Tyrese Maxie comeback should.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Not have been allowed, Eddie, that the.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Officials fed up the game every other game though. I know,
so what's the point of releasing it if you're not
going to replay the game. I don't understand. You're just
you're just frustrating people. But anyway, Tyre's ma. Actually that
four point play turns out he traveled on the play.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
There's no such thing as traveling in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
He had the two minute report, it says he traveled
in the four point play. The only traveling in the
NBA is when they go to the chartered flights.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
That's what traveling they do in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
But accordingly the last two minute report, the last two
minute report, Tyrese Maxie should not have gotten the four
point play because in even the three point shot, because
he he traveled, he took too many steps. Speaking of that,
I saw the seventy six ers in the in the Knicks.
Both fan base is upset because game six a late
(25:03):
night start. In game six, that is the late game,
as that game will start at nine o'clock local time
in Philly and New York as the Knickerbockers again try
to close it out. And to that, I say, hey,
you're's a TV show. You should be honored. That gets
the most bang for the buck. TV pays the bills,
(25:24):
and they want the West Coast to be engaged. I
don't know how many people on the West Coast care
about the seventy six ers in the Knicks, but they
want that game to be played where people have access
to that game, and so they're gonna play it in
the late television window.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We got a fun fact. We got a fun fact.
We got a fun fact. We got a maler fun fact.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
All right, So on this picture, I'm gonna butcher the
guy's name the Japanese pitcher for the Cubs, Shota Imanaga
is his name. And this guy right now is don't
make me say his name again, but this guy is
going to at the end of April start of May
is the cy young winner in the clubhouse. Now, unfortunately
they still have to play all the way till October.
(26:08):
But this guy has been what Yamamoto was supposed to
be for the Dodgers, and so far he had a
good start in the game last night on Wednesday, But
for the most part he has not been nearly as advertised.
But this Shota Ima Naga. He has made now six
starts in the big leagues for the Cubbies. He has
more wins five than walks.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Aloud. Let me repeat that for those of you in
the back of the room.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
The new cub pitcher from Japan has now made six
starts and has more wins than walks and his innings
pitched this season.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Let me look up how many innings he's pitched. Here
he is. He's in the thirties. He's in the thirties
so far.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Pitched six games, five wins and no losses.
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, I know you're a little impressed.
Speaker 7 (27:03):
I know.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Try to try to stay com try to stay Come.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Let's say hello to Saint Nick, who is up next
on the Big radio show?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Hello, Saint Nick?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
What's that big man?
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Hello?
Speaker 2 (27:18):
How are we doing well?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
If I was any better, I would be a podcaster,
But not podcast p because he missed just about every
key shot he took in that game last night for
the Clippers.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
You got base for radio.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
This is great, get it up the clips.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
I could die tonight, that's all I know.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I mean, there's no way there, there's no.
Speaker 7 (27:48):
Way to see Game seven.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Yeah. How the Lakers? Do they have another game to play?
Do they have another game?
Speaker 7 (27:54):
Oh? Yeah, no ye?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
And I did lose money on that bet.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Yeah good.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
I hope I hope you lost everything. I hope you
lost your car. I hope you lost your house.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I hope you helped you.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
I hope you lost that twenty buck. Let me tell
you something, Saint Nick. That twenty bucks, you could have
bet on the roulette wheel. You could have doubled your money.
Bet on red.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
You would have doubled your money. Then you could have
gone to the crabs table. You could have bet on that.
You could have trippled your money.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
You could kept doing it, Saint Nick. But you didn't
do it, Nick, And so that twenty.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Dollars, that's my place. You could have traveled to a
place where it's legal. You could have traveled in the state.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
And you're not a saint. By the way, this is
a very unholy phone call. You're making a Saints call
up the bat.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You realize that it's your birthday and your clippers, and
I feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Now, well, why would you?
Speaker 1 (28:49):
Clearly you know you should go go buy a que
tip and clean your ear drum out? How about that?
You must have a lot of that that orange gunk
in your ear, that's.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
Why that's that's agative.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
But well, that's not what I'm hearing. That's not what
I have a word for. Ado in the face for
TV so I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Well, I actually have a TV show, so I guess
I have both. Thank you, stick.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Let's go to Mark the Full Name Guy. What's going on?
Mark the Full Name Guy?
Speaker 7 (29:14):
Hello, Ben Ma I'm not sorry to hear that. I'm
so sorry to hear that. Scott the who blind blind

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Scott?
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Yeah, yeah, it doesn't care much for me. That's that's
such a terrible shame.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Are you a big fan of his work or are
you a big fan of Scott's work?
Speaker 7 (29:42):
I am not a big fan.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Is it true you hate the blind community? Is that true?
Speaker 7 (29:50):
No, that's not true, jerk ash. Yeah, No, I'm not
a racist. I don't hate blind people.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
But is that a race? Is the blind? I gotta
check with inc. I don't know. Is that a race
of people. It's gotta be.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Got Yeah, it's got to be a race of people.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
These blind mice, many and many of your phone calls,
Mark have been the blind leading the blind.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
So you do relate to the blind community.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
I suppose you could say that, yeah, well, you look
at you.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
You agree with me.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
I said, a uh, you know you're being reasonable, You're
being sensible.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
What's going on with you? I said a joke.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
It was sarcasm and no hurt feelings all of a sudden.
Speaker 7 (30:36):
No, now you know, now, Ben Aller, you you enjoy
freaking at my prickly skin.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
And I like to hear your I like that your bus,
I like to hit your buttons.
Speaker 7 (30:49):
Love to get my dander up. Because you love reading
those angry emails and tweets it. I think.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I get a lot of very passionate emails from schmucks.
But you, okay, when you go on a rant, you
don't just send me an email.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
You send me like a book.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
I mean it is my mother was terrible, my dad
was over. You go through the whole family tree, right,
you go through the whole family tree, and your uncle,
your uncle, your uncle mel.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
He has a Dunce cap On. You know, I know
that your aunt boy.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
She's she's a stumblebump. You just go through the whole thing,
and I love it.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
Yeah, I know you do. Yeah, not only that. And
you love those stories I send you, and you and
you love those angry tweets. You really get that.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Well, I don't know if it turned on. I don't
think it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
I don't think it's a sexual thing. I don't believe that.
But I just appreciate the fact that you spend hours.
You're crazy when you get worked up. You're crazier than
an outhouse rodent when you get worked up wild.
Speaker 7 (31:55):
Yeah, acc admit I have quite an imagination when it
comes to.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
To the yeah, to the terrible things that should be
to the terrible things that should be done to me.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yes, absolutely so.
Speaker 7 (32:10):
Now I'm not going to go into details about why
blind Scott is upset with me, but I will just
say this. I'll kind of beat around the bush and
say I don't prove of some of his lifestyle choices,
shall we say?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
And I understand that I can't we all get along?
Can we all get along? Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Well, just my position of that mark very nuanced. Just
don't shove anything down my throat.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I'm good. That's all I know.
Speaker 7 (32:44):
I will do that absolutely. It's non secret or of
them about the thought that you about the uh Harbo
is now going to be coaching the other LA football team.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Yes, that's how they changed. They changed their name.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
They changed their name him from the Chargers to the
other LA football team.
Speaker 7 (33:02):
Yes, yes, the other LA football team that seems to
have none of their own fans.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Can you sum it up?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Oh, my god, one line we've got.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
We don't have the entire night.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
One line.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
What's the question?
Speaker 7 (33:19):
So are the are the Chargers in the Rams going
to develop a local rivalry?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
No, they won't because they don't play. They don't play
each other enough.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
That doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
It does matter. You gotta play each other. I have
a real rivalry. You gotta play each other. Don't play
each other.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
He played each other once every four years.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
You can have a rivalry strictly in the media.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
You know, No, there's no listen, there's only one. There
was one guy in the LA media that was a buzzsaw, TJ. Simers,
But he's not in the LA media anymore. Everyone in
the media they licked toes. That's all I got, I
gotta go, thank you. It's a bunch of suck ups
in the LA media. I don't rip anybody, but mostly fanboys.
That's who they are, that's how they operate. There is
(34:06):
one guy my entire life doing stuff in LA one
guy that ripped anybody.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
TJ. That was it. All right, time now for the
install trivia.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
And here we go, Here we go. We will have
coming up Mallard of the thirty degree. But here's the

and yet on Tuesday, Magic Johnson said the team will
definitely make the playoffs next year.

Ben, are you on board with his prediction?
Speaker 1 (37:22):

Next Gerard Mayo said in a recent interview that Bill
Belichick probably would have traded back from the number three
spot to get more picks. Ben, do you think that's
true and would have been the better move? Yes, A,
I think it's true. B. It's Gerrod Mayo patting himself
on the back. See, we're doing things different. We're not
like Belichick, you massholes. We're better than Belichick.
Speaker 1 (38:05):

in Drake may So it would have been the better move.
I'm not impressed with Drake may and I will I
be proven wrong. We'll find out, But I don't think
this guy's all that. I think's his His ceiling is
an average quarterback in the NFL. But it's nice if
Girod Mayo had pat himself on the back next.

the perfect target for the Lakers. Ben, do you think
the Cows will look to trade to Mitchell?

an extension in Cleveland, And there have been whispers that
he's like all these other NBA guys. He spends time
in the offseason in LA, even though he's an East
Coast guy, spends time in LA, spends time in Miami.
So he's in play. He is absolutely in play for
the Lakers, and I wouldn't be smiled that my entire life.
