Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two, our two ready
to go, and it's back to pro bouncy ball Eastern
Conference style. Your thoughts on the Celtics as they get
a win, not an easy win, but a victory over
the Cavaliers, a shorthanded team from Cleveland. And what did
you make of Lebron James bowguarding the spotlight as he
(00:24):
attended the Cave Celtic game right there in the front
row with his wife and his agent. And how do
you evaluate Chandler Parsons. That's a washed up former player
blaming Tom Thibodeau for the knickerbocker injuries. We'll talk about
all that and much more. It's the original recipe podcast here,
it is our number two. Feeling green and playing green,
(00:49):
Well Gum. In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere like
work mates, as we are off the cob Coast, coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and rhythmically powerful
(01:10):
microphones of fsre ammating live from the burner as we
burn the midnight oil. We're broadcasting live from the ti
raq dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road
hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended in stars ty
(01:34):
rack dot com. The way tire buying should be. That's
a very large number. Tommy in Atlanta driving his truck
around thinks that's that's pretty neat. So our lead this hour,
we go to pro Bouncy Ball in Cleveland, the Eastern
(01:55):
Confers the Early Fight on the fight card there the
Early Fight, and that was the site Cleveland of the
Celtics and the Cavaliers. Did you watch? Were you enthralled
with this game? Jason Tatum was there. He didn't have
a great shooting performance in the second half, but he
did finish with thirty three points and that was enough
(02:16):
to help Boston beat the severely shorthanded Cleveland basketball squad
one oh nine to one O two the final. And
that means now that the Seas have taken a three
to one lead in the Eastern Conference semi finals, which
if you look at the comps, they tell you what
has happened, not what's going to happen. Ninety five percent
(02:38):
of the time a team that's up three to one
ends up winning the series. Jalen Brown, who was much
better down the stretch in that game. Twenty seven points
for the Celtics, who can close out Cleveland and turn
out the last the parties over if they can win
Game five. The problem is that's at the arena there
in Boston, the Garden on Wednesday night, and the Celtics,
(02:59):
even though they have home court advantage and play all
that well at home, so the Calves are on the
brink of elimination. Let us discuss the question your thoughts
on the Celtics and their victory over the Cadavers in
this game. So I've got jukebox, panhandling, and Boogeyman, and
(03:20):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a headache, a migrain headache, which
is what the Cavaliers had at the end of this
game because the way the Celtics played. My first thought here,
the way the Celtics played that was a game where
ifs and butts were candy and nuts and Donovan Mitchell plays,
(03:41):
then the Cavaliers win that game. The Celtics were just
going through the motions. They were going through the motions
in this game. And you don't get extra flowers if
you're Boston because you do what you're supposed to do.
Cleveland without two of their top players, the top player
Donovan Mitchell with a calf injury, Oh my calf, he
(04:01):
couldn't play, and Jared Allen had the rip problem. And
so those guys sat out the game. And instead of
this being another blowout the Cavaliers, they were hanging around,
hanging around. The Celtics unable to close the gap and
(04:21):
blow out Cleveland by twenty five points. I think won
most of their games, the Celtics by double digits. But
in the fourth quarter, Jalen Brown he was better. He
was better in the fourth quarter, and he put up
a couple of shekels into the jukebox there, and they
cranked up the old Canadian rock group a bach Bin
(04:42):
Turner Overdrive. They cranked up taking care of Business, Hull
Home down the stretch. It was a box checking exercise,
is what it was. The Celtics did not run away
with the cadavers though, that's the key part of this year.
They failed to cover a side twelve point spread in
Cleveland with a bunch of nobody's knocking down outside shots
(05:06):
for a good stretch in that game. The biggest lead
I believe was fourteen points. I think that's it for
the Celtics all right now, Page two here, Since the
game itself was a bit of a dud, it was lackluster.
Between Boston and Cleveland, we have the subplot and a
guy that doesn't play for Boston or Cleveland, Lebron James.
(05:29):
Did you see this? What did you make of Lebron
James with his wife and agent attending and sitting courtsite there,
attending the game in Cleveland getting a standing ovation standing
ovation during the Cavs Celtic playoff game. So I got
a couple of us. On one hand, Lebron in the crowd.
(05:50):
There a strategic move by Lebron being in the crowd there.
It's attention seeking one oh one by Lebron James. Nobody
has been talking all that much about Lebron recently. Because
the Lakers were exterminated from the postseason. Lebron is free
to roam around the NBA. He's got the player option
(06:13):
in the contract, and so he needs to be put
on the pedestal. And what better way to be put
on the pedestal if you're Lebron James then to go
to your old stomping grounds in Cleveland. Now on the
other side, for the Cleveland fans, what they're doing there
that is like weed man hippie panhandling is what they're doing.
They're begging Lebron, come back, Lebron, come back. Oh almighty Lebron,
(06:38):
we need you come back and save us. So the
fans they're putting on their knee pads and giving Lebron
a very public tongue bath for the world to see
there as they sucked up awkward And that's not your
typical etiquette. Lebron broke etiquette by going to that game
(07:00):
when your team is not good enough to advance in
the plaus Generally speaking, they don't treat it like an
all star game the players and they don't go hang
out and watch other teams play. That's not normal etiquette
in pro bouncy ball. So Lebron doing things his way
because he needed to have his ass kissed, and he
knew if he showed up to the game, he'd have
his ass kissed and idiots like me would talk about him.
(07:22):
So here we are. I thought the whole thing was
rather pathetic. All right, now, final point, we pivot to
the Big Apple and what happened to the Knickerbockers. The
Knickerbocker roster crumbling of late. They didn't play, They did
not participate on the NBA card on Monday. But right
(07:43):
now the Pacers back to back and belly to belly
wins in that series, and so the series tied up
to two. Game five will be coming up on Tuesday
night in Midtown Manhattan. Joyous Randall, Bojan Vajanovich, and Mitchell
Robinson out for the playoffs, and og and Enobi with
(08:04):
a bad hamstring. He's also out for Game five, but
not for the Plus Jalen Brunson's dinged up. All of
that led to a former NBA player, a player named
Chandler Parsons. You probably don't know who that is because
he wasn't very good. But Chandler Parson's blaming the Knickerbocker
coach Tom Thibodeau for the many injuries that New York
(08:25):
has had. That the quote here, he said, Chandler Parsons,
he said, quote, this is why the player's poll came
out with guys that don't want to play for Thibodeau,
because it doesn't last. Chandler Parson said, you can't sustain
it in such a long season. Get out the little
(08:47):
tiny violin. What a sob story this is? Having to
play You had to play too many minutes, says Chandler Parsons.
So how do you evaluate? Washed up has been? Chandler
Parsons blame being Tom Thibodeau for the many injuries the
Knicks have had here in the postseason. So this is
a trip down the river. The lazy river is what
(09:11):
this is? My god, Chandler Parsons, I'm getting old. I
remember watching Chandler Parsons play Chandler Parsons of the personification
of a ham burglar as he stole. He stole a
sports racketeering for Chandler Parsons, he averaged less than thirteen
points a game, had a one playoff I remember he
(09:34):
had one playoff series where he played pretty well for Dallas.
He then got a massive contract and that was the
end of Chandler Parson one hundred and twenty seven million
for less than thirteen points per game. Now New York
coach Tom Thibodaux. The bullseye on coach Tibbs is a
(09:54):
popular punching bag by people trying to reason with what
has happened with the New York roster falling apart. He's
the boogeyman, the boogeyman for the uneducated fan and the
media hanks you. But the injuries, if you look at
it case by case, most of these injuries were on
court injuries where players collided with the nick player and
(10:18):
there were fluky things that happened. It wasn't because they're
playing twenty minutes. It is such a lazy, lazy river take.
It is so pathetic. It's not because the tips like
things happen. Usually the team that wins is the team
that has the least knee injuries and shoulder problems and
elbow problems and all that. And by the way, for
(10:41):
the mister softy crowd, the pearl clutching crowd that's out there, Oh,
it's so start right these players, Oh my god, they
gotta plague too much. Yeah, for years, that was the norm,
back in the Stone Age, that was the normal, big minutes,
big volume of action. You were expected. It was a
forty eight minute game. You were expected to play forty
(11:04):
plus minutes. And nobody had to go dramatic here that
there's not a Shakespearean drama playing out was not a
Greek tragedy because you had to play forty plus minutes.
That was called normal. And oh, by the way, with
all of the money spent on sports medicine and all
the money invested in protecting the assets, as they say,
(11:27):
the human beings that are playing. Back in the day,
when the guys would go out and go to the
waffle house and load up at three in the morning
after a game, they weren't getting hurt. They weren't missing
as many games as they are today. So you explained
that to me. You explain that to me. How is
it that these NBA guys and all these people that
are the jock sniffing crowd that are out there that
(11:50):
get so upset? It's all my god, the gfaws. I
can't believe these players are being expected to play this
many minutes. It's so terrible. And yet back in the way,
when they did play those minutes, it was expected and
you just did it, and that's how it worked. You
had a job to do, and you did the job.
And yet they didn't get hurt nearly as often as
they do today. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

the liar, liar and the Nis to the Fox Sports

Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's Spen malor late night drug Tester Rights and he
says Lebron has to go to Cavs games. He doesn't
have a crappy movie to promote. Unless he's doing a
film about Brownie's draft combine. In that case, it is
a documentary short, says the Late Night Drug tester. He yeah,
(14:35):
I am impressed by the Lebron marketing machine with Rich Paul,
and they have their buddies in the media that give
Lebron propaganda and Bronnie James propaganda. Bronnie James was a
backup on a bad usc basketball team last year. Sucked,
(14:55):
I was terrible, and yet there are stories being The
story is being planted all over by basketball scribes from
Rich Paul people around Lebron. In my opinion, my opinion,
I said whatever I wants. My opinion that they've been
planning these stories that Bronnie James is because he was
played out of position and it's the coaching's, coach's fault,
(15:17):
that this guy's fault, that guy's fault, the whole thing. Now,
the big thing they were hyping up is Bronnie James
had a forty and a half inch vertical at the
NBA Draft combine that this is somehow something that we
need to worry about. Wow, so he can jump really high.
(15:38):
That's that's great, was the old line video at eleven.
He can jump really high and oh, Wow, that's great.
Couldn't play a lick at SC But I still think
he'll be drafted. He'll be drafted in the first round
because teams are desperate to try to get Lebron to
come play for them, and Bronnie James is a ticket
(16:00):
to get Lebron the celf tickets. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to weed Man, hippie living on Lincoln
Road in Miami. Hello, weed Man, hippie man, I love you,
weed Man. Are you still on Lincoln Road there in Miami? Readman?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Yes, yes, you were gone way too long. Don't do
that again.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Okay, well, I'll try not to weed Man.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
It wasn't gone as long as you were.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You were gone. I mean you were gone exactly. You
were gone longer than me. We man, you were gone
for proberty months? Were you in jail? Two months? God?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Joy and Anthony Edwards's shortp you got.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I want to see him win?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Are you giving us sports takes? Now? Are you doing sports?
Are we doing sporty weed man? Now we're getting sporty
weed Man. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Like this guy.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
That was great.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I thought they were going to win.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
That is did you figure out your phone number? No,
you don't. You still don't know your phone number. Let
me ask you this now, how to does Lisa? Does
Lisa still call you?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah? How does she know? How does she know the number?
And I don't know the number?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I don't know the number. I'll auld can be the.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Number, I will okay, all right. I can't believe you
can figure out your number though. That's amazing. That seems
like a very important thing.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Shocking that you can't figure that.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
You would think she would think I'd be able to
look it up on the phone. But I don't know
how to use your phone at all.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Attention advertisers, you too can reach this coveted demographic of
people who do not know how to figure out their
own phone number. I don't get it. It's the damnest thing, man,
You know you, you know we men. You need a
phone book, is what you need?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You need the phone book and then you just look
it up on the phone book.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I'm thinking about there's no phone books anymore. Remember there
used to be a phone book.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You can be to four.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
There's a lot of things that don't exist anymore, like
rotary phones don't exist anymore. You don't have the rotary phone,
even if the landline. Most people don't have landline phones anymore, right,
those are gone.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Nobody has one.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Well there's not nobody. There are people that have them.
You think not many, Yeah, there are some, there are,
but I also defect. The phone companies don't even want
to deal with landline phones because it's a it's a
waste of their resources, just so you can.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Never get somebody's phone number.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Now, well, no, most people know how to give out
their phone number, weed Man. Most people know how to
It's very simple. They don't hide the number for me
on the phone. All these phones. You have an Android, right,
I don't have an Android, so I'm not sure it works.
But it's got to be very simple to get your number.
Can't be that hard for you, I guess you see.
There you go, hit the buns and dials just like that. Okay,
(18:39):
Lisa's got all the answers. She on the line right now, Lisa, okay,
very good, All right, well very nice. Your name did
come up though with the malar mean greet. People were
wondering if you were going to show up. I said,
there's no way weed Man's going to show He's not.
He doesn't you don't leave Miami. First of all, weed Man, right,
we try to get you a place that were people
offered you homes in other part to the country. You
(19:01):

Fort Lauderdale I think it was that had a place
and you got upset by that. Great, yeah, okay, and

I'll do it now.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We mean is it you say that? But you the
reason you lost your places because you didn't keep it clean. Right, Well,
true you were. You admitted you were a bit of
a hoarder. Right, we made a little bit, a little
little bit, a little bit. You lost your teeth, weed man,
(20:16):
remember that you lost your damn Yes, Eddie has a question,
weed man. Eddie would like to ask you a question, Eddie.
What did you hoard? No, no, I'm not a no,
but man, you had like trash, You had like newspaper like,
you had papers and stuff. Who has newspapers, weed man?
Like this is a random brown cowboy. And you probably
(20:37):
had like food wrappers and stuff and stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You can't throw that stuff away. They have this thing
called trash. They pick it up every week. It's great.
Speaker 4 (20:47):

it's just easy to leave it around.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But I.
Speaker 6 (20:54):

Speaker 1 (20:55):
And so somebody got your teeth and you lost the
Mallard ring, remember the famous.

I lost the ring. I love that ring.
Speaker 1 (21:03):

Didn't look that big downtown Miami. Let's go do Chris.
Who's in Shreetport, Louisiana. What's going on? Christopher?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Hey, damn, I'm back, backing better than ever.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I called a few weeks ago to give you the
update about Shreeport. Man stiffy sent came down here. He
bought a bunch of wed buy a bunch of property,
and turned report around. As a matter of fact, before
you go on about BUCkies, the idea for BUCkies came
from a small town in North Louisiana called Harrisonburg. So
Louisiana influences everything.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, wait a minute, done, I thought BUCkies is Texas
though that's BUCkies is known as a Texas place.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
But if you, if you research it, the idea for
BUCkies came from a store in Harrisonburg, Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I didn't notice until regently, are you making this up here?
I feel like you're making all I feel like you're
trying to ride the coat tales of BUCkies is what
you're trying to do here.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
As a matter of fact, man, he can come to
Streetport because it's nearby rustin Louisiana, the home of a
Carl Malone in Louisiana Tech. They're building the BUCkies over there.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh is that right? I did not know that. I
did a radio show with Carl Well. I followed Carl
Malone when he did a radio show years ago in
La Long Long ago. It says the headquarters of BUCkies,
Lake Jackson, Texas. I don't see anything about the Louisiana
I did not. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
But google also before before you have to wrap any
the Streetport Mudbugs, the unfortunately lost in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Uh the mud Ball Eddie covered that on his podcast.
Did you cover that, Eddie in the podcast?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It was not covered in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
By the way, we have Eddie. Uh, this is not
from Shreeport, but a listener gave us the East Coast
Hockey League team hat for you from the local team
there in Charles.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Oh wow, very nice, thank you. Trying to think what
that team is.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh, come on, Eddie, is it the Swamp Rabbits that Chris,
you probably know even though you're in Freeport, you probably
know what the team is.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Right, well, there was a baseball team called the Swamp Dragon.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's it's it's six degrees of street Port. We got
you're the Chamber of Commerce and Streetport. Now we already
have the Chamber of Commerce from another city that calls
up at the last hour. But you're you're the Chamber
of Commerce guy from Freeport. You love Sreeport more than
the like the mayor of Treeport love Sreeport. It's all right,
we got to set up a Mallard meet and Greek Chris,
(23:57):
we'll have to do one now that we've crossed the boundary,
gone to the south. Will have to keep going. All right,
I gotta go. Thank you, all right, buddy, there's a Chris,
a big fan, big fan of Sreeport. Loves that Treeport.
We've got multiple EHL teams in South Carolina. We've got
the Sting Rays and the Swamp Rabbits in Greenville. Well,
(24:18):
I was in Charleston, and that's that's sting Ray Company. Okay,
so that's our country. So that's that's where I.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Oh, there's a Savannah Ghost Pirates too. That's Georgia, though.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It's not south now. The old team I got actually
got a text when I put some propaganda videos as
I tried to wore myself out and get people to
show up to this Malla meet and greet we did
last Friday, the great Turk Stevens reached out to me.
He was the voice edie of the Macon Whoopee. Lorraina.
There was a minor league hockey team in in the

Is that what it was?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I don't know what. What was some minor league outfit
and they had a team in Macon, Georgia called the
Macon Whoopee. It was a fine team and they went
out of business. I wonder if I have a sound
for that. Oh, there's a sound for for everything.

he got paid for that roach?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
No, I was curious about that. How much did he
get here?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It was like over twenty million dollars for that, So
well he could use that money. You can allow your
ex wife and your baby mama to get ripped apart
for twenty million dollars, right, that's twenty million larger the mom. Man,
they're out of your life anyway. Fun fact, I bat
a fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
That's the.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Fun fact. All right. We go down to the Great
Pacific Northwest where the Mariners are playing baseball. Not well,
by the way, Mariners in Royals Monday Night random one
random Monday Night tea mobile park. That's the name of
the ballpark. They changed the name over the years. But
the Mariners have a third baseman named Josh Rojas. I
don't know who that is, but apparently he plays in
(26:24):
the infield for the Mariners occasionally. And in the bottom
of the first inning, bottom of the first inning, Josh Rojas,
on back to back pitches, fouled the pitch off on
the second third pitch he saw, and both of those
foul balls went to the same exact fan. Two straight
(26:45):
foul balls by one fan at the Mariner game in
the bottom of the first inning. And what are the
odds of that happening? They're actually not as high as
you might think because the Mariners at the seats like
forty eight thousand or something like that. There weren't forty
eight thousand people there. Plus to be in foul territory,
(27:07):
you have to be around the foul poll see what
I'm doing right there. So it's not as but still
back to back pitches, that's wild. That's fun. You know
what that is fun? That is fun. Yeah, you know,
it's also fun. Thoroughbred racing is fun. Thoroughbred racing as
a new independent regulator HAISA that is implementing comprehensive reforms
(27:30):
and the sport it's combining hands on care with cutting
edge technology to help keep its athletes safe. To learn
more of visit safetyeruns first dot com that safety runs

Great State of Texas. Hello, Matt, Welcome, what.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Okay? What man?
Speaker 5 (27:54):
I had my life?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (27:57):
You know, she hates that policy now, but she is
watching the Kola jokic uh the other day and she
was like, that dude looks like he's steeps, Like he
just smells.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Like cat piss.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
And that's why she thinks he you know, you would
your would your when your wife know is do you
guys have a lot of cats? Do you You are
you around cat? You're in quite a big.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
We don't have any animals.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
We have kids.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Her kids smell a lot too, right, kids, you gotta
wash them all the time. They pooped their pants. I
mean there's other messy kids.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they're they're good kids. But
she just and now she's infatuated with watching the Denver Nuggets, like, uh,
we're we're Warriors fans, we're Steph Curry fans. But she
she just watches him playing and she's like, I don't
know what it is maybe she's.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Kind of cross on him.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I don't know, but yeah, you might want to you
might want to be a little concerned about that. But
here's the thing about Jokic. There have been I know,
this is mostly an NFL thing we've we've heard from
I've heard from people that have worked here that certain
players in the NFL would have terrible body odor, and
certain guys would not want to tackle them because of
(29:15):
the way they smelled. Like, you know, you pull up
your pants and get the urine smell and all that.
You don't want to, you know, mess around with that.
But I think it was Lincoln Kennedy told us some
stories when he played for the Raiders. There was a guy,
I forget the guy's name. There's a kind of Bengals
that when he in his day when the Raiders were
playing the Bengals and there was some guy on the
(29:35):
defensive line for the Bengals that was just smelled horrific.
And Lincoln told the famous story about that back in
the day. So does your Matt, Matt, does your wife
mention any other players that look like they smell while
they're playing in the NBA?
Speaker 6 (29:50):
We are Cowboys fans. We live in Texas and not.
Then she thinks Dak Prescott thinks too.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
So really, I look, I think he wears a high
end cologne like way too Yeah. Like I think he's like,
uh yeah, I think Dag.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Wears curve, like nineteen ninety three curve Walmart Colone.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I don't think he you think, sister. Just now he
looks at me like he likes to go go go
big on the cologne. He likes to go big. But
maybe maybe you're right. You watch more of the Cowboys
than I do. All right, well, thank you man, thank
your wife for alerting us to the joker smells like
cat urine. Thank you. You smell weird.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But we loved her anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, appreciate that. Oh boy, all right, it is the
Ben Mahlor Show. As we are back, and isn't it
great to be back?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
So good?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well, the Patriots had a decision. They could have traded
the number three overall pick in the first round and
gotten some other draft picks and said goodbye that number
three pick. Instead, they stood pay it. They stood pack
because they're Patriots, and patriots stand pat and they drafted
Drake may over the weekend. Gerrod Mayo, the head coach
(31:08):
of the New England Patriots, when asked about the performance
of Drake May at some off season workouts said quote,
he has a lot to work on close quote said
the coach of the New England Patriots, and that has
been interpreted as a low blow. Other people that are
not on the payroll with the Patriots also pointing out
(31:30):
that the quarterback Drake May, the term raw has been used,
that there's a lot of rawness to his ability as
a quarterback. So it's sounding like people with New England
at least are trying to lower expectations. Whether or not
this is placed in any kind of reality, we don't know,
(31:53):
but multiple stories about Drake May not looking particularly great
at some of the off seas and work as. He
was drafted with the number three pick by the Patriots,
much fanfare and so far not so good. Malardly third
degree that is warming up in the microwave. Time Now
for the install trivia.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
You hear it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Blank is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw
for thirty thousand plus yards and have fewer than one
hundred interceptions in their career. Again, Blank, the only quarterback
in NFL history to throw for thirty thousand plus yards
there and have fewer than one hundred interceptions in their career.
(32:36):
That is the instat trivia. The answer. We'll get to it.
We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
And here is the insta trivia. Blank the only quarterback
in NFL history to have over thirty thousand yards passing
and fewer than one hundred interceptions in their career. That
is the question. What is the answer this? Does anyone
know the answer? Andy from Lion O' Lakes in Minnesota,
say's former Viking great and a guy that showed up
(33:39):
to the Mallor meet and greet because he was invited.
Tommy Kramer, who else you have? Mister nice guy? Going
with Mickey Rivers is his answer? Blind Scott from Alf
the Alien Opiner and that really captured the zeitgeist of line.
Scott Ray Charles from Mallard prop Guy. He's back, Brownie James,
(34:00):
who is six ' one not six y four? Yes
by ferg Dog Steve Spurrier, the old ball coach from
Eke and Roseville, Minnesota. Gary Hogeboom from Mark the Walker
in Rochester. He's back, He's walking. Jake Bauers of the
Brewers from Sheen in Des Moines. Eric Hippel guest by
(34:21):
Rob and Minnesota. Jerry Lewis from Milkman Mike in Colorado.
But King Rory says Gabe Cotter is the correct answer.
Dan Marino from Johnny Q, Mark Bolger yea, but yea,
but yebit ye it from Kyle That's his answer. Catfish
Hunter from Slim Tim Who else you have? Paige? Dan Paige,
(34:44):
Dan Chip and the Cues going with Dan Fouts as
his answer. Eddie, do you have an answer? I need
an answer at.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
A it's former Houston Oiler great Dan Pastorini.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
And Pastor Rede of the Love Blue Oilers. No, that's incorrect,
Eddie correct answer shockingly, Jared Goffroite is the correct answer,
Jared Golf? How about that?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
To the third degree, this is.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
The coop dullup.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
The Atlanta Hawks will have the number one pick in
the NBA Draft, despite only having a three percent chance
in the lottery. Now, the question is, with two max
stars already on the team, will the Hawks look to
trade the pick? I'm when I ask their GM essentially
sidestep the question. I've even heard they might use it
on Brownie James. That's that's been floating.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
What do you what do you think? Ben?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Should they trade the pick? Now? From a business standpoint,
if Lebron wants to go to Atlanta, they have a
great airport in Atlanta, wonderful airport. That's not a reason
to go play in a city is because they have
a good airport. But yeah, you trade the pick. This
is a this is a dodd. It's projected to be
a dog. Now, there will be a player in this
NBA draft this summer that turns out to be a
Hall of Famer. But there's a lot of Jags, not
(36:02):
Jacksonville Jags, just a guy, a lot of just the
guys out there. So if you're Atlanta and they can,
there's a lot of chatter they're gonna trade their big headliner.
You mentioned the possibility of a major transaction with that
lottery pick, and yeah, I think you trade, you package
the number one pick and you see what you can
(36:24):
get for it, because this is they were the tenth
team of the East. He's stunk and they were the
tenth team in the East, so absolutely you make a move.
Speaker 8 (36:32):
Next, Brendan Rice, the son of Jerry Rice, mentioned that
his dad was hot over his draft slide. Rice was
expected to be a mid round draft pick, but instead
fell to the Chargers in the seventh round. But do
you think Rice will outplay his draft position? Well, he
should be happy, Jerry Rice should be happy. The Chargers
have no eddies on the depth chart at wide. Have
(36:53):
you seen the Chargers depth chart.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
There's no one there that can catch the football, at
least that has done it consistently. So Brendan Rice has
an opportunity to go into the Chargers' locker room and
be in the regular wide receiver rotation. That's how bad
it is there for the Bolts. There's just no name BYU.
So this is one of those things where you get
initial pain for long term gain because you're going to
(37:16):
a team that needs help at the wide receiver position.
So I don't think he outplayed his draft. Will he
outplays drafts. He's got a great chance to do it
because he was a seventh round pick. But you know
you're drafted where you're supposed to be drafted. That's how
work next.
Speaker 8 (37:31):
Former MLB slugger Chris Davis announced his retirement this week,
saying there was no more opportunity for him in baseball,
and he revealed that he will be starting a new
career as a mechanic.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Good Ben, If there was no more opportunity for you
in radio, what would you do? I would move to
a BUCkies location and I would work at BUCkies, is
what I would do. I would I would be at
the brisket table at BUCkies, or I'd make those pecans
that the sugar all over him. You gotta go to
BUCkies cool, I'm telling you, man, it's amazing. That's why
(38:01):
I go to work for BUCkies. Anyway, how did we go?
He passes a week.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
I won the game, Addie, I won the game.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Who wo
Hello and welcome. It's our number two, our two ready
to go, and it's back to pro bouncy ball Eastern
Conference style. Your thoughts on the Celtics as they get
a win, not an easy win, but a victory over
the Cavaliers, a shorthanded team from Cleveland. And what did
you make of Lebron James bowguarding the spotlight as he
(00:24):
attended the Cave Celtic game right there in the front
row with his wife and his agent. And how do
you evaluate Chandler Parsons. That's a washed up former player
blaming Tom Thibodeau for the knickerbocker injuries. We'll talk about
all that and much more. It's the original recipe podcast here,
it is our number two. Feeling green and playing green,
(00:49):
Well Gum. In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywhere like
work mates, as we are off the cob Coast, coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and rhythmically powerful
(01:10):
microphones of fsre ammating live from the burner as we
burn the midnight oil. We're broadcasting live from the ti

rack dot com. The way tire buying should be. That's
a very large number. Tommy in Atlanta driving his truck
around thinks that's that's pretty neat. So our lead this hour,
we go to pro Bouncy Ball in Cleveland, the Eastern
(01:55):
Confers the Early Fight on the fight card there the
Early Fight, and that was the site Cleveland of the
Celtics and the Cavaliers. Did you watch? Were you enthralled
with this game? Jason Tatum was there. He didn't have
a great shooting performance in the second half, but he
did finish with thirty three points and that was enough
(02:16):
to help Boston beat the severely shorthanded Cleveland basketball squad
one oh nine to one O two the final. And
that means now that the Seas have taken a three
to one lead in the Eastern Conference semi finals, which
if you look at the comps, they tell you what
has happened, not what's going to happen. Ninety five percent
(02:38):
of the time a team that's up three to one
ends up winning the series. Jalen Brown, who was much
better down the stretch in that game. Twenty seven points
for the Celtics, who can close out Cleveland and turn
out the last the parties over if they can win
Game five. The problem is that's at the arena there
in Boston, the Garden on Wednesday night, and the Celtics,
(02:59):
even though they have home court advantage and play all
that well at home, so the Calves are on the
brink of elimination. Let us discuss the question your thoughts
on the Celtics and their victory over the Cadavers in
this game. So I've got jukebox, panhandling, and Boogeyman, and
(03:20):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a headache, a migrain headache, which
is what the Cavaliers had at the end of this
game because the way the Celtics played. My first thought here,
the way the Celtics played that was a game where
ifs and butts were candy and nuts and Donovan Mitchell plays,
(03:41):
then the Cavaliers win that game. The Celtics were just
going through the motions. They were going through the motions
in this game. And you don't get extra flowers if
you're Boston because you do what you're supposed to do.
Cleveland without two of their top players, the top player
Donovan Mitchell with a calf injury, Oh my calf, he
(04:01):
couldn't play, and Jared Allen had the rip problem. And
so those guys sat out the game. And instead of
this being another blowout the Cavaliers, they were hanging around,
hanging around. The Celtics unable to close the gap and
(04:21):
blow out Cleveland by twenty five points. I think won
most of their games, the Celtics by double digits. But
in the fourth quarter, Jalen Brown he was better. He
was better in the fourth quarter, and he put up
a couple of shekels into the jukebox there, and they
cranked up the old Canadian rock group a bach Bin
(04:42):
Turner Overdrive. They cranked up taking care of Business, Hull
Home down the stretch. It was a box checking exercise,
is what it was. The Celtics did not run away
with the cadavers though, that's the key part of this year.
They failed to cover a side twelve point spread in
Cleveland with a bunch of nobody's knocking down outside shots
(05:06):
for a good stretch in that game. The biggest lead
I believe was fourteen points. I think that's it for
the Celtics all right now, Page two here, Since the
game itself was a bit of a dud, it was lackluster.
Between Boston and Cleveland, we have the subplot and a
guy that doesn't play for Boston or Cleveland, Lebron James.
(05:29):
Did you see this? What did you make of Lebron
James with his wife and agent attending and sitting courtsite there,
attending the game in Cleveland getting a standing ovation standing
ovation during the Cavs Celtic playoff game. So I got
a couple of us. On one hand, Lebron in the crowd.
(05:50):
There a strategic move by Lebron being in the crowd there.
It's attention seeking one oh one by Lebron James. Nobody
has been talking all that much about Lebron recently. Because
the Lakers were exterminated from the postseason. Lebron is free
to roam around the NBA. He's got the player option
(06:13):
in the contract, and so he needs to be put
on the pedestal. And what better way to be put
on the pedestal if you're Lebron James then to go
to your old stomping grounds in Cleveland. Now on the
other side, for the Cleveland fans, what they're doing there
that is like weed man hippie panhandling is what they're doing.
They're begging Lebron, come back, Lebron, come back. Oh almighty Lebron,
(06:38):
we need you come back and save us. So the
fans they're putting on their knee pads and giving Lebron
a very public tongue bath for the world to see
there as they sucked up awkward And that's not your
typical etiquette. Lebron broke etiquette by going to that game
(07:00):
when your team is not good enough to advance in
the plaus Generally speaking, they don't treat it like an
all star game the players and they don't go hang
out and watch other teams play. That's not normal etiquette
in pro bouncy ball. So Lebron doing things his way
because he needed to have his ass kissed, and he
knew if he showed up to the game, he'd have
his ass kissed and idiots like me would talk about him.
(07:22):
So here we are. I thought the whole thing was
rather pathetic. All right, now, final point, we pivot to
the Big Apple and what happened to the Knickerbockers. The
Knickerbocker roster crumbling of late. They didn't play, They did
not participate on the NBA card on Monday. But right
(07:43):
now the Pacers back to back and belly to belly
wins in that series, and so the series tied up
to two. Game five will be coming up on Tuesday
night in Midtown Manhattan. Joyous Randall, Bojan Vajanovich, and Mitchell
Robinson out for the playoffs, and og and Enobi with
(08:04):
a bad hamstring. He's also out for Game five, but
not for the Plus Jalen Brunson's dinged up. All of
that led to a former NBA player, a player named
Chandler Parsons. You probably don't know who that is because
he wasn't very good. But Chandler Parson's blaming the Knickerbocker
coach Tom Thibodeau for the many injuries that New York
(08:25):
has had. That the quote here, he said, Chandler Parsons,
he said, quote, this is why the player's poll came
out with guys that don't want to play for Thibodeau,
because it doesn't last. Chandler Parson said, you can't sustain
it in such a long season. Get out the little
(08:47):
tiny violin. What a sob story this is? Having to
play You had to play too many minutes, says Chandler Parsons.
So how do you evaluate? Washed up has been? Chandler
Parsons blame being Tom Thibodeau for the many injuries the
Knicks have had here in the postseason. So this is
a trip down the river. The lazy river is what
(09:11):
this is? My god, Chandler Parsons, I'm getting old. I
remember watching Chandler Parsons play Chandler Parsons of the personification
of a ham burglar as he stole. He stole a
sports racketeering for Chandler Parsons, he averaged less than thirteen
points a game, had a one playoff I remember he
(09:34):
had one playoff series where he played pretty well for Dallas.
He then got a massive contract and that was the
end of Chandler Parson one hundred and twenty seven million
for less than thirteen points per game. Now New York
coach Tom Thibodaux. The bullseye on coach Tibbs is a
(09:54):
popular punching bag by people trying to reason with what
has happened with the New York roster falling apart. He's
the boogeyman, the boogeyman for the uneducated fan and the
media hanks you. But the injuries, if you look at
it case by case, most of these injuries were on
court injuries where players collided with the nick player and
(10:18):
there were fluky things that happened. It wasn't because they're
playing twenty minutes. It is such a lazy, lazy river take.
It is so pathetic. It's not because the tips like
things happen. Usually the team that wins is the team
that has the least knee injuries and shoulder problems and
elbow problems and all that. And by the way, for
(10:41):
the mister softy crowd, the pearl clutching crowd that's out there, Oh,
it's so start right these players, Oh my god, they
gotta plague too much. Yeah, for years, that was the norm,
back in the Stone Age, that was the normal, big minutes,
big volume of action. You were expected. It was a
forty eight minute game. You were expected to play forty
(11:04):
plus minutes. And nobody had to go dramatic here that
there's not a Shakespearean drama playing out was not a
Greek tragedy because you had to play forty plus minutes.
That was called normal. And oh, by the way, with
all of the money spent on sports medicine and all
the money invested in protecting the assets, as they say,
(11:27):
the human beings that are playing. Back in the day,
when the guys would go out and go to the
waffle house and load up at three in the morning
after a game, they weren't getting hurt. They weren't missing
as many games as they are today. So you explained
that to me. You explain that to me. How is
it that these NBA guys and all these people that
are the jock sniffing crowd that are out there that
(11:50):
get so upset? It's all my god, the gfaws. I
can't believe these players are being expected to play this
many minutes. It's so terrible. And yet back in the way,
when they did play those minutes, it was expected and
you just did it, and that's how it worked. You
had a job to do, and you did the job.
And yet they didn't get hurt nearly as often as
they do today. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's Spen malor late night drug Tester Rights and he
says Lebron has to go to Cavs games. He doesn't
have a crappy movie to promote. Unless he's doing a
film about Brownie's draft combine. In that case, it is
a documentary short, says the Late Night Drug tester. He yeah,
(14:35):
I am impressed by the Lebron marketing machine with Rich Paul,
and they have their buddies in the media that give
Lebron propaganda and Bronnie James propaganda. Bronnie James was a
backup on a bad usc basketball team last year. Sucked,
(14:55):
I was terrible, and yet there are stories being The
story is being planted all over by basketball scribes from
Rich Paul people around Lebron. In my opinion, my opinion,
I said whatever I wants. My opinion that they've been
planning these stories that Bronnie James is because he was
played out of position and it's the coaching's, coach's fault,
(15:17):
that this guy's fault, that guy's fault, the whole thing. Now,
the big thing they were hyping up is Bronnie James
had a forty and a half inch vertical at the
NBA Draft combine that this is somehow something that we
need to worry about. Wow, so he can jump really high.
(15:38):
That's that's great, was the old line video at eleven.
He can jump really high and oh, Wow, that's great.
Couldn't play a lick at SC But I still think
he'll be drafted. He'll be drafted in the first round
because teams are desperate to try to get Lebron to
come play for them, and Bronnie James is a ticket
(16:00):
to get Lebron the celf tickets. Let's go to the phones.
We'll say hello to weed Man, hippie living on Lincoln
Road in Miami. Hello, weed Man, hippie man, I love you,
weed Man. Are you still on Lincoln Road there in Miami? Readman?

It wasn't gone as long as you were.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
You were gone. I mean you were gone exactly. You
were gone longer than me. We man, you were gone
for proberty months? Were you in jail? Two months? God?
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Joy and Anthony Edwards's shortp you got.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
I want to see him win?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Are you giving us sports takes? Now? Are you doing sports?
Are we doing sporty weed man? Now we're getting sporty
weed Man. Yeah?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Like this guy.
Speaker 5 (16:50):
That was great.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
I thought they were going to win.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
That is did you figure out your phone number? No,
you don't. You still don't know your phone number. Let
me ask you this now, how to does Lisa? Does
Lisa still call you?
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah? How does she know? How does she know the number?
And I don't know the number?
Speaker 4 (17:07):
I don't know the number. I'll auld can be the.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Number, I will okay, all right. I can't believe you
can figure out your number though. That's amazing. That seems
like a very important thing.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Shocking that you can't figure that.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
You would think she would think I'd be able to
look it up on the phone. But I don't know
how to use your phone at all.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Attention advertisers, you too can reach this coveted demographic of
people who do not know how to figure out their
own phone number. I don't get it. It's the damnest thing, man,
You know you, you know we men. You need a
phone book, is what you need?
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Right?
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You need the phone book and then you just look
it up on the phone book.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I'm thinking about there's no phone books anymore. Remember there
used to be a phone book.
Speaker 5 (17:45):
You can be to four.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
There's a lot of things that don't exist anymore, like
rotary phones don't exist anymore. You don't have the rotary phone,
even if the landline. Most people don't have landline phones anymore, right,
those are gone.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Nobody has one.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Well there's not nobody. There are people that have them.
You think not many, Yeah, there are some, there are,
but I also defect. The phone companies don't even want
to deal with landline phones because it's a it's a
waste of their resources, just so you can.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Never get somebody's phone number.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Now, well, no, most people know how to give out
their phone number, weed Man. Most people know how to
It's very simple. They don't hide the number for me
on the phone. All these phones. You have an Android, right,
I don't have an Android, so I'm not sure it works.
But it's got to be very simple to get your number.
Can't be that hard for you, I guess you see.
There you go, hit the buns and dials just like that. Okay,
(18:39):
Lisa's got all the answers. She on the line right now, Lisa, okay,
very good, All right, well very nice. Your name did
come up though with the malar mean greet. People were
wondering if you were going to show up. I said,

He doesn't you don't leave Miami. First of all, weed Man, right,
we try to get you a place that were people
offered you homes in other part to the country. You

Speaker 1 (19:56):
We mean is it you say that? But you the
reason you lost your places because you didn't keep it clean. Right, Well,
true you were. You admitted you were a bit of
a hoarder. Right, we made a little bit, a little
little bit, a little bit. You lost your teeth, weed man,
(20:16):
remember that you lost your damn Yes, Eddie has a question,
weed man. Eddie would like to ask you a question, Eddie.
What did you hoard? No, no, I'm not a no,
but man, you had like trash, You had like newspaper like,
you had papers and stuff. Who has newspapers, weed man?
Like this is a random brown cowboy. And you probably

Speaker 4 (20:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You can't throw that stuff away. They have this thing
called trash. They pick it up every week. It's great.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Yeah I know, I know, I know, I know, but
it's just easy to leave it around.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
But I.
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Know.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
And so somebody got your teeth and you lost the
Mallard ring, remember the famous.
Speaker 7 (21:00):
You lost that.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
I lost the ring. I love that ring.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
That was a great ring. You know you lost the ring.
You don't have the ring anymore. That was a wonderful wing. Ring.
A guy in Houston hooked us up with that ring.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
Yeah, that was a great ring.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
I love that.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
I can't believe I don't have that.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
All Right, I gotta go, but thank you, eat man.

All right, thank you, eat me. There's Lincoln Road in Miami,
weed man himbie. Let's say hello to Chris. How big
is Lincoln Road? It's not that big. Somebody looked it up.
Didn't look that big downtown Miami. Let's go do Chris.
Who's in Shreetport, Louisiana. What's going on? Christopher?
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Hey, damn, I'm back, backing better than ever.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Man.
Speaker 5 (21:44):
I called a few weeks ago to give you the
update about Shreeport. Man stiffy sent came down here. He
bought a bunch of wed buy a bunch of property,
and turned report around. As a matter of fact, before
you go on about BUCkies, the idea for BUCkies came
from a small town in North Louisiana called Harrisonburg. So
Louisiana influences everything.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Well, wait a minute, done, I thought BUCkies is Texas
though that's BUCkies is known as a Texas place.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
But if you, if you research it, the idea for
BUCkies came from a store in Harrisonburg, Louisiana.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
I didn't notice until regently, are you making this up here?
I feel like you're making all I feel like you're
trying to ride the coat tales of BUCkies is what
you're trying to do here.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
As a matter of fact, man, he can come to
Streetport because it's nearby rustin Louisiana, the home of a
Carl Malone in Louisiana Tech. They're building the BUCkies over there.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh is that right? I did not know that. I
did a radio show with Carl Well. I followed Carl
Malone when he did a radio show years ago in
La Long Long ago. It says the headquarters of BUCkies,
Lake Jackson, Texas. I don't see anything about the Louisiana
I did not. I didn't.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
But google also before before you have to wrap any
the Streetport Mudbugs, the unfortunately lost in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Uh the mud Ball Eddie covered that on his podcast.
Did you cover that, Eddie in the podcast?
Speaker 3 (23:03):
It was not covered in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
By the way, we have Eddie. Uh, this is not
from Shreeport, but a listener gave us the East Coast
Hockey League team hat for you from the local team
there in Charles.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
Oh wow, very nice, thank you. Trying to think what
that team is.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
Oh, come on, Eddie, is it the Swamp Rabbits that Chris,
you probably know even though you're in Freeport, you probably
know what the team is.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Right, well, there was a baseball team called the Swamp Dragon.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
It's it's it's six degrees of street Port. We got
you're the Chamber of Commerce and Streetport. Now we already
have the Chamber of Commerce from another city that calls
up at the last hour. But you're you're the Chamber
of Commerce guy from Freeport. You love Sreeport more than
the like the mayor of Treeport love Sreeport. It's all right,
we got to set up a Mallard meet and Greek Chris,
(23:57):
we'll have to do one now that we've crossed the boundary,
gone to the south. Will have to keep going. All right,
I gotta go. Thank you, all right, buddy, there's a Chris,
a big fan, big fan of Sreeport. Loves that Treeport.
We've got multiple EHL teams in South Carolina. We've got
the Sting Rays and the Swamp Rabbits in Greenville. Well,
(24:18):
I was in Charleston, and that's that's sting Ray Company. Okay,
so that's our country. So that's that's where I.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Oh, there's a Savannah Ghost Pirates too. That's Georgia, though.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
It's not south now. The old team I got actually
got a text when I put some propaganda videos as
I tried to wore myself out and get people to
show up to this Malla meet and greet we did
last Friday, the great Turk Stevens reached out to me.
He was the voice edie of the Macon Whoopee. Lorraina.
There was a minor league hockey team in in the
is it East Coast Hockey League?
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Is that what it was?
Speaker 1 (24:46):
I don't know what. What was some minor league outfit
and they had a team in Macon, Georgia called the
Macon Whoopee. It was a fine team and they went
out of business. I wonder if I have a sound
for that. Oh, there's a sound for for everything.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meler
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
So mentioned last hour where we know the season opening
game Thursday night. You got the Chiefs hosting the Ravens,
and we'll be finding out more on Wednesday. But things
trickling out, and we know Tom Brady's first game as
an NFL analyst for Fox it will come in Cleveland
as the Browns host the Dallas Cowboys on September the eighth,
(25:29):
week one.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Unless Tom Brady. Unless Tom Brady says I don't want
to do it, I'm good. Did you see how much
he got paid for that roach?
Speaker 3 (25:38):
No, I was curious about that. How much did he
get here?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
It was like over twenty million dollars for that, So
well he could use that money. You can allow your
ex wife and your baby mama to get ripped apart
for twenty million dollars, right, that's twenty million larger the mom. Man,
they're out of your life anyway. Fun fact, I bat
a fun fact.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
That's the.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Fun fact. All right. We go down to the Great
Pacific Northwest where the Mariners are playing baseball. Not well,
by the way, Mariners in Royals Monday Night random one
random Monday Night tea mobile park. That's the name of
the ballpark. They changed the name over the years. But
the Mariners have a third baseman named Josh Rojas. I
don't know who that is, but apparently he plays in
(26:24):
the infield for the Mariners occasionally. And in the bottom
of the first inning, bottom of the first inning, Josh Rojas,
on back to back pitches, fouled the pitch off on
the second third pitch he saw, and both of those
foul balls went to the same exact fan. Two straight
(26:45):
foul balls by one fan at the Mariner game in
the bottom of the first inning. And what are the
odds of that happening? They're actually not as high as
you might think because the Mariners at the seats like
forty eight thousand or something like that. There weren't forty
eight thousand people there. Plus to be in foul territory,
(27:07):
you have to be around the foul poll see what
I'm doing right there. So it's not as but still
back to back pitches, that's wild. That's fun. You know
what that is fun? That is fun. Yeah, you know,
it's also fun. Thoroughbred racing is fun. Thoroughbred racing as
a new independent regulator HAISA that is implementing comprehensive reforms
(27:30):
and the sport it's combining hands on care with cutting
edge technology to help keep its athletes safe. To learn
more of visit safetyeruns first dot com that safety runs
first dot com. Let's say hello to Matt in the
Great State of Texas. Hello, Matt, Welcome, what.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Okay? What man?
Speaker 5 (27:54):
I had my life?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (27:57):
You know, she hates that policy now, but she is
watching the Kola jokic uh the other day and she
was like, that dude looks like he's steeps, Like he
just smells.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Like cat piss.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
And that's why she thinks he you know, you would
your would your when your wife know is do you
guys have a lot of cats? Do you You are
you around cat? You're in quite a big.
Speaker 6 (28:25):
No.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
We don't have any animals.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
We have kids.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Her kids smell a lot too, right, kids, you gotta
wash them all the time. They pooped their pants. I
mean there's other messy kids.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they're they're good kids. But
she just and now she's infatuated with watching the Denver Nuggets, like, uh,
we're we're Warriors fans, we're Steph Curry fans. But she
she just watches him playing and she's like, I don't
know what it is maybe she's.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
Kind of cross on him.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I don't know, but yeah, you might want to you
might want to be a little concerned about that. But
here's the thing about Jokic. There have been I know,
this is mostly an NFL thing we've we've heard from
I've heard from people that have worked here that certain
players in the NFL would have terrible body odor, and
certain guys would not want to tackle them because of
(29:15):
the way they smelled. Like, you know, you pull up
your pants and get the urine smell and all that.
You don't want to, you know, mess around with that.
But I think it was Lincoln Kennedy told us some
stories when he played for the Raiders. There was a guy,
I forget the guy's name. There's a kind of Bengals
that when he in his day when the Raiders were
playing the Bengals and there was some guy on the
(29:35):
defensive line for the Bengals that was just smelled horrific.
And Lincoln told the famous story about that back in
the day. So does your Matt, Matt, does your wife
mention any other players that look like they smell while
they're playing in the NBA?
Speaker 6 (29:50):
We are Cowboys fans. We live in Texas and not.
Then she thinks Dak Prescott thinks too.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
So really, I look, I think he wears a high
end cologne like way too Yeah. Like I think he's like,
uh yeah, I think Dag.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Wears curve, like nineteen ninety three curve Walmart Colone.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I don't think he you think, sister. Just now he
looks at me like he likes to go go go
big on the cologne. He likes to go big. But
maybe maybe you're right. You watch more of the Cowboys
than I do. All right, well, thank you man, thank
your wife for alerting us to the joker smells like
cat urine. Thank you. You smell weird.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But we loved her anyway.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Yeah, appreciate that. Oh boy, all right, it is the
Ben Mahlor Show. As we are back, and isn't it
great to be back?
Speaker 4 (30:45):
So good?
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Well, the Patriots had a decision. They could have traded
the number three overall pick in the first round and
gotten some other draft picks and said goodbye that number
three pick. Instead, they stood pay it. They stood pack
because they're Patriots, and patriots stand pat and they drafted
Drake may over the weekend. Gerrod Mayo, the head coach
(31:08):
of the New England Patriots, when asked about the performance
of Drake May at some off season workouts said quote,
he has a lot to work on close quote said
the coach of the New England Patriots, and that has
been interpreted as a low blow. Other people that are
not on the payroll with the Patriots also pointing out
(31:30):
that the quarterback Drake May, the term raw has been used,
that there's a lot of rawness to his ability as
a quarterback. So it's sounding like people with New England
at least are trying to lower expectations. Whether or not
this is placed in any kind of reality, we don't know,
(31:53):
but multiple stories about Drake May not looking particularly great
at some of the off seas and work as. He
was drafted with the number three pick by the Patriots,
much fanfare and so far not so good. Malardly third
degree that is warming up in the microwave. Time Now
for the install trivia.
Speaker 7 (32:14):
You hear it.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Blank is the only quarterback in NFL history to throw
for thirty thousand plus yards and have fewer than one
hundred interceptions in their career. Again, Blank, the only quarterback

Speaker 1 (33:16):
And here is the insta trivia. Blank the only quarterback
in NFL history to have over thirty thousand yards passing
and fewer than one hundred interceptions in their career. That
is the question. What is the answer this? Does anyone
know the answer? Andy from Lion O' Lakes in Minnesota,
say's former Viking great and a guy that showed up
(33:39):
to the Mallor meet and greet because he was invited.
Tommy Kramer, who else you have? Mister nice guy? Going
with Mickey Rivers is his answer? Blind Scott from Alf
the Alien Opiner and that really captured the zeitgeist of line.
Scott Ray Charles from Mallard prop Guy. He's back, Brownie James,
(34:00):
who is six ' one not six y four? Yes
by ferg Dog Steve Spurrier, the old ball coach from
Eke and Roseville, Minnesota. Gary Hogeboom from Mark the Walker
in Rochester. He's back, He's walking. Jake Bauers of the
Brewers from Sheen in Des Moines. Eric Hippel guest by
(34:21):
Rob and Minnesota. Jerry Lewis from Milkman Mike in Colorado.
But King Rory says Gabe Cotter is the correct answer.
Dan Marino from Johnny Q, Mark Bolger yea, but yea,
but yebit ye it from Kyle That's his answer. Catfish
Hunter from Slim Tim Who else you have? Paige? Dan Paige,
(34:44):
Dan Chip and the Cues going with Dan Fouts as
his answer. Eddie, do you have an answer? I need
an answer at.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
A it's former Houston Oiler great Dan Pastorini.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
And Pastor Rede of the Love Blue Oilers. No, that's incorrect,
Eddie correct answer shockingly, Jared Goffroite is the correct answer,
Jared Golf? How about that?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
To the third degree, this is.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
The coop dullup.
Speaker 8 (35:20):
The Atlanta Hawks will have the number one pick in
the NBA Draft, despite only having a three percent chance
in the lottery. Now, the question is, with two max
stars already on the team, will the Hawks look to
trade the pick? I'm when I ask their GM essentially
sidestep the question. I've even heard they might use it
on Brownie James. That's that's been floating.
Speaker 3 (35:38):
What do you what do you think? Ben?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Should they trade the pick? Now? From a business standpoint,
if Lebron wants to go to Atlanta, they have a
great airport in Atlanta, wonderful airport. That's not a reason
to go play in a city is because they have
a good airport. But yeah, you trade the pick. This
is a this is a dodd. It's projected to be
a dog. Now, there will be a player in this
NBA draft this summer that turns out to be a
Hall of Famer. But there's a lot of Jags, not
(36:02):
Jacksonville Jags, just a guy, a lot of just the
guys out there. So if you're Atlanta and they can,
there's a lot of chatter they're gonna trade their big headliner.
You mentioned the possibility of a major transaction with that
lottery pick, and yeah, I think you trade, you package
the number one pick and you see what you can
(36:24):
get for it, because this is they were the tenth
team of the East. He's stunk and they were the
tenth team in the East, so absolutely you make a move.
Speaker 8 (36:32):
Next, Brendan Rice, the son of Jerry Rice, mentioned that
his dad was hot over his draft slide. Rice was
expected to be a mid round draft pick, but instead
fell to the Chargers in the seventh round. But do
you think Rice will outplay his draft position? Well, he
should be happy, Jerry Rice should be happy. The Chargers
have no eddies on the depth chart at wide. Have
(36:53):
you seen the Chargers depth chart.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
There's no one there that can catch the football, at
least that has done it consistently. So Brendan Rice has
an opportunity to go into the Chargers' locker room and
be in the regular wide receiver rotation. That's how bad
it is there for the Bolts. There's just no name BYU.
So this is one of those things where you get
initial pain for long term gain because you're going to
(37:16):
a team that needs help at the wide receiver position.
So I don't think he outplayed his draft. Will he
outplays drafts. He's got a great chance to do it
because he was a seventh round pick. But you know
you're drafted where you're supposed to be drafted. That's how
work next.
Speaker 8 (37:31):
Former MLB slugger Chris Davis announced his retirement this week,
saying there was no more opportunity for him in baseball,
and he revealed that he will be starting a new
career as a mechanic.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Good Ben, If there was no more opportunity for you
in radio, what would you do? I would move to
a BUCkies location and I would work at BUCkies, is
what I would do. I would I would be at
the brisket table at BUCkies, or I'd make those pecans
that the sugar all over him. You gotta go to
BUCkies cool, I'm telling you, man, it's amazing. That's why
(38:01):
I go to work for BUCkies. Anyway, how did we go?
He passes a week.
