Speaker 1 (00:00):
Man, we got a heavy dose of honesty over here.
That is on the way we were broadcasting live from
the tirack dot com studios. Tirack dot com will help

dot com the way tire buying should be. How about

(00:22):
pat Riley Eddie with the Miami heat who was he
dished some truth out to Jimmy Buckets over here, right,
So this goes back to last week. Jimmy Butler was
hurt in the play in game against the seventy six

(00:42):
ers and then he never played again and the playoffs
did not play any of the games against the Boston Celtics,
as Miami lost in five games. But Jimmy said, if
he were out there and healthy, things would have gone differently.
This is the original SoundBite the pat Riley is reacting to.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Here's Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
Yeah two to reaction if I was playing Boston to
be at home New York.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
Answer.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
Okay, so Boston's going home New York. Knick's going home.
That's what Jimmy Butler said. So this is pat Riley
reacting to that. Listen to what pat Riley has to
say about Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
For him to say that, you know, I thought, is
that Jimmy trolling or is that Jimmy serious? You know,
if you're not on the court plane against Boston, around
the court playing against New York, make sure you should
keep your mouth shut and your criticism of those teams.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
I love it, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Look, you and Coop were just talking about the Tom
Brady roast and I was a bit of a breath
of fresh air. Where's like, hey, we can tell jokes
and laugh and not take everything uber seriously and overreact
to it and all that. I think about this too,
about how a lot of athletes are just coddled these days,

(02:07):
and you don't hear many people say something real like
pat Riley just said. I loved it, man. It was
like old school. It was a blast from the past.
With pat Riley saying that.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Well, he is old school, so it is. It's not
on a character for him, no doubt. And he's obviously
got the rings as an executive and as a head
coach to back up you know, anything he says. But yeah,
especially in the NBA, where you know, one guy can
make a huge difference on your team. You don't want
to upset anyone any of your stars, right, I mean, god,

(02:40):
you know knows all the bending over backwards for Lebron James,
regardless of where he's been. So yeah, it's it's rare,
but I thought appropriate and I loved it.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
I loved it too, man, because yeah, there is there's
far too much bending over backwards, and it's just pathetic
what some of these front offices say. And you know,
whether it's the general manager, the team president or whatever,
it's just oh, yeah, you know, we hope to re
sign him and everything's great and blah blah, blah blah.

(03:12):
I just love that pat Riley put it out there
and was like he should keep his mouth shut, and man,
and think about that in this day and age, right
when you could set yourself up for a huge backlash,
not with just a player that you said that about,
but just in general. Think how wait, what was it
the shut up in dribble comment Eddie about how that

(03:34):
took off like wildfire, Like we have a right to
say what we want, and I get it, but the
point is there was a huge negative reaction toward that,
and I just don't anticipate that with pat Riley here,
but you could get that as well as like Jimmy
Butler's just trying to express his opinions and talk about
what he's thinking and feeling and blah blah blah. Pat

(03:58):
Riley doesn't have time for any of that, Like, yeah,
shut it if you're not out there. And I also think, Eddie,
if you're gonna say that about any player, Jimmy Butler
is probably the best player to say that about, because
Jimmy is very old school as well, and I don't
see him going full diva mode and getting all bent

(04:18):
out of shape. I think he probably just laughed at
it and said, yeah, pat might have a point right there.

Speaker 7 (04:23):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm just guessing, but if any upper echelon player were
to react like that, I think it would be Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
Is Jimmy a social media guy, I know, kind of
everyone is these days, I guess, but I wonder, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
He dabbles, he'll do some stuff on Instagram.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
That may responded yet on social media. I think that's
probably then what you're saying is probably true that he's yeah, okay,
maybe I probably should have said that.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, I doubt this would turn into a whole thing.
I really doubt that, but yeah, he'll throw out jokes
from time to time. There was something with the last
series against the Celtics where they want a game and
it's like a photoshopped picture, and he had a joke
about it, and it was this whole thing. I'm sure

(05:09):
pat Riley has zero time for any of that stuff.
He's so old school he's not trying to get involved
in any of that stuff. But yeah, man, it brings
up an interesting thought where it's like, which athletes have
been coddled the most over the years? Right, Like you mentioned,
Lebron has got to be one of the top, if

(05:30):
not the top of the list. Anybody else, I think
you go straight to the NBA. I think Giannis has
been coddled quite a bit. They've bent over backwards for Giannis.
I don't think all coddling is wrong. I think it's
dangerous but sometimes understandable. It's just how far do you
want to take it? But I think you would probably

(05:51):
go to the NBA first and foremost, right Eddie, to
find the most coddled athletes.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
I mean I would think so, but I don't know
that it's necessarily an indictment on and NBA players. I think,
like I said, it's the circumstances, right, Yeah, when one
player can make such a big difference on your team
because of the number of players that are on the
court at the same time and all that, Yeah, then yeah,
you're gonna have more of an importance. And then of
course you have a commissioner who does everything you can
to kiss the ass of the players. I'm still blown

(06:18):
away at the popularity of Adam Silver when he clearly
is a player's commissioner and he works for the owners.
It doesn't make any sense to me at all. But man,
he really goes out of his way to take the
side of the players on just about everything.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
It seems, yeah, he does.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm trying to think of somebody else who went the
pat Riley route.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Is there? I think what was.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
It the Houston Texans owner that he got a lot
of pushback where it was about the you know, the
kneeling stuff a couple of years ago, and he said
something about you don't let the inmates run the asylum
and that turned into a whole thing. Right, So you
will get ownership pushing back on certain things. But that

(07:04):
was pretty entertaining from pat Riley right there. I gotta admit, man,
no doubt about that. Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox is your phone number.

Speaker 8 (07:12):
We are.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
All right, the who Knew the Gremlins. We're going to
be around without Ben Mallard being here, but this is
the Ben Malor Show, Eddie Garcia along with Brian. Know
we have lost the connection with Brian here momentarily, but
we will be getting him back soon, I am sure.
But yeah, So it's always always fun when something like

(07:39):
this happens right on the right, on the fly and
leaves you unaware. So that's that's awesome.

Speaker 8 (07:44):
So I think he was about to go to Jeni
who fled and then so, oh Jesus, So am I
supposed to do that? I guess I could do that.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (07:56):
I'm a little torn coop. I mean, it's on the
one hand, you've got me know, just vamping. On the
other hand, you know, letting Jed have free run for
a little while. Uh, you know what, I'm adventurous. Let's
go for it. Let's let's check in with Jed who
fled here on Fox Sports Radio. Hi, Jed, how are you?

Speaker 9 (08:14):
I am very very startled about that library introduction you
did at Cooler. Why don't y'all do the puns? Like
nobody it's Brian, We're not in the note, you know
what I mean about where the Grimlins are? Yeah, that's
a lot of that could feel several segments.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
We may have to.

Speaker 10 (08:31):

first team. That's that's pretty good.

Speaker 9 (09:06):
On the frozen tundra of knows iron Bridgestone, you know,
something like that, and that's like a home game down there,
like right, they probably were the white uniforms figure Jimmy Kimmel, Dude, Yeah,

and he was being proven as Pinocchio's burnt fathers Burt
fother So those think do you think Jimmy Kimmel says

Speaker 6 (13:00):
But Brian, I believe me. Last time we checked in
with him, he had moved to New Orleans, so he's uh,
he's down there in the the big easy.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
I've heard great things about New Orleans.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
I've heard mixed things about New Orleans. I've heard it's
a lot of fun, and I've also heard it you know,
when you have a lot of fun, sometimes you know
there's things that happen, and you know what I'm.

Speaker 12 (13:24):
Saying, Yeah, I think it's a lot like Hollywood, though
it used to be better back in the day, and
now it's been so tourist ran that it's like, Okay,
it's not as cool anymore.

Speaker 6 (13:34):
Yeah, I wouldn't know, though, I you know, I hate
to hate to say something about a place I've never
been to, but hopefully I can get out there one
of these days and check it out. I'm told though,
that someone on the on the staff went somewhere recently,
and that would be Lorena, who went to a baseball
game last night. You were at the Dodger game.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
I did, And you say last night. It's so crazy
because it was just a couple hours ago.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
You're you know, obviously you're new to the show and
we're still kind of learning about you a little bit.
But you're not a big sports fan, so I'm curious
as to what these circumstances were for you going out
to a baseball game.

Speaker 12 (14:13):
Well, Moncey, we all know the lovely Monty Belanos. I've
been wanting a girl's day for like ever.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I'm like, we need to have a girl's day.

Speaker 12 (14:20):
And so, yeah, she invited me and one of our producers, Brianna. Yes, yeah,
so we all went to Dodgers Stadium.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
She got us a tour.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Oh yeah, we did a pre a pregame tour and
tonight was Star Wars night.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Oh, it was so cool.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
Eddie and I know you're like, you're a Disney fan.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
I am a big and I'm a big star wars
NERD too. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (14:41):
Yeah, I had no idea this was going to be
what it was, and it was so much fun. I
got to see there was Stormtroopers. Yeah, there was R
two D two And he even turned around and he
looked at me. He did, he turned and he looked
at it.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Yeah, I've heard that. He says that did they do it?
Drone show? Did you stick around?

Speaker 12 (15:01):
And after a time stay long enough to see if
there was I left about eight thirty.

Speaker 3 (15:07):
I wanted to get a nap in before I started.
I see, all right, But the game was so fun, Eddie,
I really.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
You got to see show Tony hit home run?

Speaker 9 (15:15):
I did.

Speaker 12 (15:15):
It was and it's funny because I was recording every
hit that he did and with your phone. Yeah, and
he missed every single one. And then I was like, darn,
I'm gonna eat some nachos now. So I turned around
and I told myself, I was like, you know what,
I bet he's gonna hit a home run while I'm
putting these nachos in my face.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
And then what happens?

Speaker 6 (15:32):
He hit home run?

Speaker 3 (15:33):
Home run, all the whites go out, all the things
go ding ding ding ding.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
Yeah, he was waiting for you to stop filming.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Before were waiting for me to eat some nachos.

Speaker 6 (15:41):
How were the nachos?

Speaker 10 (15:42):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
They were so good.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, I also had a Dodger dog.

Speaker 6 (15:45):
Of course you have to have a Dodger dog.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
I had a Dodger dog.

Speaker 13 (15:48):
And you know what I did.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
I put the new onions. You know how they have
their onion machine back.

Speaker 6 (15:51):
I don't know. I had not been to Dodger Stadium
for a baseball game in many, many years. Have I
need to get back out there.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Yeah, you need a Dodger dog in your life.

Speaker 6 (15:59):
I you. It's it's interesting you say that though, because
about your girls night, because it wasn't wasn't that long ago,
and I've been here a long time that it was
impossible to have a girls time because we had no
girls working, hear right, which is why we had the
double men's rooms. And they had to change that when
you when you ladies came on the scene here. So

(16:21):
that's cool that you guys got to have a little.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Girls night, Yes, and shut out to the ladies restroom too, Yes.

Speaker 6 (16:27):
Of course? Is it have you redecorated anything.

Speaker 3 (16:31):
I've added some new things to it, Eddie. If you
want to take a.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
Tour, maybe when I'm not maybe when Brian comes back,
I can go take a peek. Until then, let's go
back to the phones, and my god, the list of
people to choose from here, we've already had Jed who fled.

Speaker 7 (16:49):
Boy.

Speaker 6 (16:50):
The choices here, all right, I'm willing to do it.
I'm willing to take the chance. Let's let's check in
with blind Scott here on the Ben Malor Show. Hey, hey, Scott, how.

Speaker 11 (17:00):
Are you hey?

Speaker 4 (17:01):
Eddie? Thanks thanks for having me on. Actually this is perfect.
We never got a chance to break down hockey. And
we're in the Eastern Conference finals now, and the Bruins
played the Florida Panthers last night, which was pretty exciting
for me. I followed that Toronto Maple League series so closely,
and I wouldn't seek out Maple League fans online to

(17:22):
argue with to make make them just get so upset.
Even when the Bruins were choking dogs and I thought
they were going to lose the series, I was gonna say.

Speaker 6 (17:30):
Scott, you were not common in your bs In Game seven,
you were saying he didn't think they were going to
get it done.

Speaker 13 (17:35):
Nah.

Speaker 4 (17:36):
Now it's just like they got so many rookies on
this Bruins team. Now, you know, Edie, you fall hockey
so closely. They got this guy made some bow ride.
He's playing defense for the Bruins. Now he's like an
offensive guy though, so the defense haven't been that solid.
But Jeremy swayman, he he's on his head. And yeah,
the Kings should have had linus Omark. They probably could

(17:56):
even beat the Oilers. They Bruins wanted to trade him there,
but he declined.

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Yeah, maybe we'll get him in the off season. Now, Scott.
As much as I would love to continue to talk
hockey with you, I am told Brian now has returned. Brian,
are you there?

Speaker 2 (18:11):
I am, I'm here now, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Sorry, man, the wasps those hornets were messing up the
com rex connection.

Speaker 6 (18:18):
We're all good now, hornets okay? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Are the gremlins you guys gremlins? Yeah, I'm honored, man.
You cut the hockey talk short. Welcome me back, Eddie.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
It felt yeah, are.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
You regretting that? Immediately?

Speaker 6 (18:35):
I felt I felt a bit torn about that. To
be honest with you because Scott and I were just
getting ready to talk Boston Bruins. But I mean, you're
back and you're here to host, and you know you
gotta we gotta bring you back.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
So hey man, you know I'm thrilled to talk Boston Bruins.
You know, five to one win pretty good. You're down
one nothing in a game seven, come back when that one,
then you're up one nothing in the next series.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
He's very nice. That's all I can give you that.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Ya. No, I mean, I'm sorry we had to cut
Scott short there. I apologize Scott, But now that was
actually very impressive. You win a game seven, Like I
don't know if you watched the Leaves Bruins Game seven,
but that was amazing. That was I mean that the
first round of the Hockey Playoffs, I gotta be honest,
haven't been that great, but that helped to kind of
redeem the first round. That Game seven was so good.

(19:25):
There was so much drama to Original six teams and
for it to go a game seven overtime, that was
that was awesome.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
So yeah, I got a question for you, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
how much does the Original six thing move the needle
for you or like the hockey community.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
Is that still a thing there is?

Speaker 6 (19:43):
It's interesting because there's mixed reactions to that. I think
some people push back on it and think it's way
too you know, overblown, and I actually like it. I
like those old, old school, traditional, you know teams, and
I like to see that we had one original six
matchup in the playoffs. Then, I mean, I'm I'm appreciative

(20:03):
of history. Brian, Yeah, yeah, I like that.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
How was Jed who fled? I was fleeing.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
I was fleeing one area to go to another area.
So I was fleeing and I didn't catch Jed who fled.
I'm very curious how it went.

Speaker 6 (20:16):
I mean, Jed is uh, he's he's he's awesome. He
is awesome. I mean I hate to say that because
that sounds like I'm promoting drug use in some way,
but uh, you know, he's he is very he's very unique.
And there's nobody else like him on our show, that's

(20:36):
for sure. So and we have a lot of people
who like to be drunk and and all that, but
there's nobody quite like him. I know Coop would agree.
I think he's his favorite caller. So there you go.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, Top of the list for Coop.

Speaker 6 (20:47):
Huh, I think I am am I right on that. Yeah,
I mean at this point, yeah, do you have what
are your off air conversations with him? Fun?

Speaker 13 (20:59):
I mean, i'd say nine percent of the time he's
he's talking to me, and then he goes for like
a minute, and then afterwards I'll be like, I understood,
five words? Are the words that I understood? And then
he'd be like, Okay, never mind, go to your job.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
That's a quick exit right there.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Did you catch up with anybody else?

Speaker 6 (21:23):
No, well, just it was just him and blind Scott.
It was a couple of legends there.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Okay, would you like to keep the fun times rolling
here because we've got a couple of people.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
Sure of course.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Okay, let's go to uh let me see here, Keg Drinking, Steve,
welcome in Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
What's going on, Keg Drinking?

Speaker 10 (21:42):
You're taking over the asylum to night. Man of the
Night is the weakness of the NBA, destroying destroying themselves.
Thank god pat Riley came in, came in and the
need need Jimmy Jimmy bucket to the goin. This is

(22:06):
all started back when Pop told these guys to sit
on there, to sit on their ears. And then after
that the commissioner started putting the Black Lives Matter slogans
on the back and they've lost half their ratings. ESPN
doesn't want the broadcast. Amazon had to bail them out

(22:27):
by buying crappy stock. So we're gonna get the NBA
on NBC. We're gonna get or. They have destroyed their
their own league. And now Rudy go there is sitting
on it's sitting on his butt. We can give these
women drugs, we can give them, we can get something

(22:47):
to hold it in.

Speaker 11 (22:48):
So just just just be a man.

Speaker 10 (22:52):
Shack up, NBA. You're destroying your own league. It's going
down here. You have no stars, these guys are all overpaid.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Gosh, what else do you want to whine about? Keg
drinking Steve? Good lord, is this almost over with? Oh no,
this call, man, oh man, this is the most depressing
call of all time.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
There are no stars. That's just a dumb comment.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Craig Keg drinking Steve like you got some he got
some decent points. But you can't say they have no stars.
That makes no sense.

Speaker 10 (23:28):
That they have no It's a global man and man
no one recognized this, guys, that's the Cleveland man. And also,
did you see Sydney treating then under the met down man,
he's looking like a dog where we're.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Fighting.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Oh man, that was the drop to Mike moment right there,
they get dropped moment if you will. You can't talk
trash about Sydney Swaeney when Coop's on the show. Right,
that's just a snow flies.

Speaker 13 (24:07):
I hadn't seen her what he was talking about. Look,
look she I just looked up what he was referring to.
She still looks fantastic, but she she debuted a black bob.
She's she's I'm assuming it's a I'm assuming it's a wig.
I guess it could be a wig.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
H huh huh. I'm gonna have to check this out.

Speaker 13 (24:27):
Yeah, I mean, look, she's like he's an idiot, a dog,
you know, met Galla going on.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
You know, yeah that already.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
That was last year, I know, isn't that crazy? No,
that's when Kim wore the dress from Marilyn Monroe.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, okay, so she went with the black bob. Looks
like just like a I don't know, sort of a
regular turquoise dress. Maybe yeah, aquay ish, maybe a shout
out to the Dolphins.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm not sure, do I know?

Speaker 6 (25:08):
Yeah, I'm sure that's what it was.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Brian might have been.

Speaker 6 (25:10):
Yeah, you never know.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Eddie could be a diehard Dolphins fan over there. That
Sidney Sweeney. That would be a power move in my book.
But I can't confirm that. Cannot confirm that right there. Okay,
we're gonna rally from the last call. Look, man, there's
some truth to what he was saying. But Eddie, you
can't say they have no stars. Anthony Edwards is ridiculous.

(25:35):
Jalen Brunson's doing his thing. Nicola Yolk is still fantastic.
You'll see, uh you know, SGA tomorrow night. Like Luka, doncic,
Kyrie Irving.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
What is he talking about? The only thing that would
have made.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Me happier is if you went after his throat there, Eddie,
you know with come on, man, what is that about?

Speaker 6 (25:52):
Steve?

Speaker 2 (25:53):
What is that about? Right?

Speaker 6 (25:55):
Yeah? I don't know. I don't know what he's talking about.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
I don't know either. We've got Eddie though, I'm taking
the calling. Yeah, okay.

Speaker 7 (26:03):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 6 (26:09):
It is bugging me, Brian, that I cannot find what
is the longest streak losing streak by one scene against another.
And you think with the Internet these days, I could
find that information. But I'm having trouble, you know, finding that.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
I've been thinking about this as I was running from
point A to point B here, Eddie is I think
we have to count a series is just one right
to keep it equal with the NFL, it would be
on their right. If we have this baseball losing streak
where you lose eighteen games like the Twins did to

(26:43):
the Yankees, that's different than a series.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
I think we have to count it as one series because.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
Yeah, I love a problem with that.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
It's an unfair fight compared to football, right, NBA.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
Or h for example, Even though I hate to mention
this again, my LA Kings have a three game losing
streak in the playoffs against the Edmonton Oilers. Three series
in a row, so that's three right, right, right, right?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yeah, It's like we saw that with the Lakers and
the Nuggets the last two years, right, Like the Nuggets
swept the Lakers last season and they won the first
three games this season. That's at least a seven game
losing streak. I don't know if they played prior to
last season or not. I don't know that, but it's
at least a seven game losing streak. You would never

(27:26):
have that in the NFL. You know, like one team
losing to the same team seven times in a row
in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
It's not going to happen.

Speaker 6 (27:35):
I think that's fair. I think if we're going to
try and figure this out, that a series in the
NBA the NHL would equal a game in the in
the NFL.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, yeah, it's fair, right, So we got to go
buy series. So what's the longest losing streak either in
the NFL playoff wise or NBA, NHL MLB if we
count it just as a series.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
I don't know the answer to.

Speaker 6 (27:58):
That, But I'm also a lot I know, well, that's
what we do here. But I'm also trying to figure
out against the same opponent, what's the.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Longest That's what I mean.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, against the same opponents. So like you're kings the
loss of the same opponent three years in a row,
do we have something longer than that?

Speaker 2 (28:19):
I get to four.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
I want to say, we could get to four, right,
if it doesn't have to be consecutive years.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I think we could get there. I feel like an auctioneer.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
Well, I hope by the end of the show I
can have an answer for you. We'll see. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I feel like, heyur right, can we get anybody to
raise their arm and commit to four?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
I don't know that, Eddie. I think we can, I hope.

Speaker 6 (28:41):
So I don't want my team to be a part
of this. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
So here's the deal, Eddie. I'm in South Bend right now.

Speaker 6 (28:48):
Oh, I thought we were in New Orleans still, so
I am.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
It's the whole thing. So I was in New Orleans
for the month of April. We're going back to New
Orleans for the month of May. I was gonna go
back to New Orleans on Monday, right, but Scott Shapiro
shout out. He's like, hey, would you like to fill
in for Big Ben? And I'm like, how could I

(29:12):
say no?

Speaker 6 (29:13):
You know?

Speaker 1 (29:14):
So I'm still here in South Bend. My nephew Mini
Matt got married on Saturday. That's why we came home
for the wedding. So I'm still home right now. And uh, yeah,
little internet issues, so I had to go from point
e two.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
So you're saying South Bend is a bad place for Internet.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
It might be.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
It might be, absolutely might be, because this has happened before, Eddie.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
You know what happened last time. I figured it out.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
So I had it was a headset and the microphone
on the headset something was wrong with it. It was
a little short in it or something. So I moved
all my stuff from one place to the next place
and set it all up. And I didn't grab like
a regular microphone, which would have fixed the problem.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
This time it was straight internet, straight internet issue.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
All right, Well, don't let that happen again. All right,
I won't. I will not.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
We're back. We're good to go. Here.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Hey, right around the corner, let's get to a potential comeback. Also,
some entertaining tweets here. We got the bucket list conversation,
We got a lot to do, a lot going on
over here. He's Eddie Garcia, I'm Brian know. Hang with

Speaker 2 (30:59):
No, thank you, Eddie.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
You know I got a text here, actually a tweet
from Jason checked in.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
I just read this.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
I think it's interesting. He wrote, just a general question.
Your team loses in the playoffs, do you root for
the team who beat them or against? Example, I'm a
Knights fan. Do I root for the Avalanche or the Stars?
What do you think about that?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Eddie?

Speaker 6 (31:25):
Are you well? It's easy? I absolutely root against the
team that you do. Oh, helly, I hope the Edmonton
Oleas gets swept in the next round.

Speaker 2 (31:32):
You hold a grudge?

Speaker 6 (31:33):
Hell yes?

Speaker 11 (31:34):
Now?

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Is this accumulated over the last three years of course.
So if this is year one, did you feel like
that heading into.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
The posts last year?

Speaker 6 (31:46):
Yes, but not as bad now it's you.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Know, threefold, gotcha? Okay?

Speaker 6 (31:51):
So first, well, if the team that elimined us wins
the title, it makes us look better.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Screw that, you know, it depends For me. I used
to be a lot more. I don't know what the
right word would be. I used to hold the grudge
a lot more. If my team lost in the playoffs,
I would root against the team that took them out
every time.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
But it's just changed. It's changed over the years.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
For instance, last year, I'm a Dolphins fan, I wasn't
necessarily rooting against the Chiefs going forward, Like I picked
them to win the Super Bowl. I bet on them
to win the Super Bowl. I was absolutely rooting for
the Chiefs. So it just it depends Dolphins didn't show
up at all. It's not the Chief's fault, you know.
So I don't hold the grudge. It's case by case.

(32:38):
If there's like a bad call or a heartbreaking defeat
or something. No, I'm definitely not rooting for that team
that took my team down going forward. But I'm not
automatically holding a grudge.

Speaker 11 (32:50):
Is that fair?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
It just kind of depends how it goes down exactly.

Speaker 6 (32:53):
I mean, you're you're entitled to handle that however you want.
I'm just telling you what I would do, right, Yeah,
be my team can screw you. You hope you go down.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Hey man, I get that. I understand that.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
A couple other tweets here cowboy kill It checked in
and said, you need to try mustard flavored wings.

Speaker 2 (33:12):
O MG, what do you think about that? Eddie? You
in the market for some mustard flavored wings?

Speaker 6 (33:18):
Well, first of all, I don't like wings because there's
too much work for too little payoff. So then you
add mustard flavored to it. Not for me, thank you, though, really.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
Out definitely out of that. Yeah wow, yeah, I remember
your hot take on wings in general. Now, yes, I'm
a big wing guy, but no, not un mustard flavored.
I would imagine coops on that coop you on that
those mustard flavored wings over there.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
I never tried that you would be up for.

Speaker 1 (33:49):
That, I think though, you're very open minded. Yeah yeah, Lorena,
you mustard flavored wings?

Speaker 3 (33:59):
It would be too good.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Late Night drug Tester checking in here on Twitter slash X.
I haven't made the full commitment to X over here, Eddie,
but Late Night Drug Tester checks in no way Tiger
would do a roast.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
He is so weak.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
He has his exes signed non disclosure agreements. That's actually
a fair point right there. If you've got the exes,
well the current girlfriend signing NDA's.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I don't know that you're in line for a roast.
I don't know that. I don't see him doing it, Eddie,
do you. I don't see Tiger every No.

Speaker 6 (34:36):
But I think we were debating, and I think those
were two very good choices, Tiger or mj. Yeah, and
you were just you were asking which one do you
think would be more likely? And I just think there's
no way in hell Michael Jordan would ever do that,
So I had to go Tiger by default.

Speaker 12 (34:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
I think there's no way in hell either of them
do it. I'll tell you what, Eddie, I agree with you.
I'd be more stunned if George, but I still would
be stunned if Tiger Woods did it.

Speaker 9 (35:04):
He just.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
I don't think that.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
He's he's up for people just bashing him left and right,
and the material that they have to work with you know.
Do you think if you went up to Tiger and said, hey, Tiger, uh,
you want to you want to be the subject of
the next roast, He'd probably be like, what's that? Oh,
it's like a bunch of people just talk trash about
you for most of the night and then they have

(35:28):
a couple of nice things to say.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Would you like to do that?

Speaker 1 (35:31):
I can't imagine Tiger would be like, oh, yeah, that
sounds like a great time. I think he'd be firmly
against that. Let's get out to the phones here. Richter
is in Minneapolis, wants to check in on Fox Sports Radio.
What's going on, Richter?

Speaker 11 (35:46):
Wow, Oh my god, I'm so honored to speak to
you guys. Listening. Guys, listen you guys, long time. Just
never call her. So just want to say, you know
what I suffered through the Vikings. My god, I was
a kid back when Drew Pearson pushed off on you know,

(36:09):
the Vikings and Galkay. Well, anyways, yeah, story start. I
was fortunate enough to see the eighty seven Twins and
ninety one Twins win. It suffered through Norm Green taking
the Stars to Dallas.

Speaker 9 (36:24):
I get it.

Speaker 11 (36:25):
I get it. Vikings, whether it be Randall Cunningham and
Randy Moss.

Speaker 9 (36:32):
And Brett barv And you know what, I just gotta hope.

Speaker 11 (36:36):
I gotta hope for the Timberwolves. I really do. I
really do, guys.

Speaker 6 (36:42):
What do you think.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
I think they got a shot, Rickster?

Speaker 10 (36:46):
I do.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
I think they're absolutely in the mix. I don't want
to make any false promises, you know, but I see.

Speaker 11 (36:54):
You guys are the professional, that's right.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
So they got a hard road here, you know, and
you got history against you.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
But if they get past the defending champs, they got
a great chance to get by Denver. You're looking at
either okay see or Dallas, probably looking at the Celtics
in the finals.

Speaker 2 (37:11):
There's a lot of work to be done.

Speaker 11 (37:15):
Well, I'm optimistic, okay, I'm hope.

Speaker 6 (37:18):
Good to you.

Speaker 11 (37:19):
Hopefully optimistic, Okay, Yeah, I mean I've enjoyed listening to
Ben Maller at night on the radio. I'm listening by
the fireplace, and you know what, you guys have kept
me through, tried and true with hope. So you know what,
I'm hoping it's our time, you guys.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
I like it, man, I like the positive attitude, Rickster.
They're in the mixed Eddie. That's as far as I
can go.

Speaker 6 (37:45):
I'm calling it. They're gonna win it all.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
They're gonna he just wanted to be the case, all right.

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Coming up next, is this a comeback or a publicity stunt.
We will dive into that right around the corner.
