Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to our number one of the
hump Day Podcast, the original Recipe Mall Show podcast, on
this fifteenth day of May, and we start out with
pro bouncy ball in Colorado? Who gets the largest part
of the Timberwolves juicy lucy of blame? And after Denver

(00:24):
put up a masterpiece performance against the Minnesota basketball team,
we'll discuss that. Also, where are you at on Shaquille
O'Neal and Charles Barkley missing inside the NBA for TNT's
upfront in New York City? They had Raymond Green sitting in.
And we'll also go to baseball. Why would we go

(00:45):
to baseball because the cheaters are cheating again? Can you
explain why Renelle Blanco that's a pitcher and the Astros
or back to their old bag of tricks cheating. We'll
go down that road as well. All of it's coming
your way right now here. It is our number one.

(01:06):
Now if you want competition, actual competition, you didn't necessarily
get that, not in pro bouncy ball. Welcome in the
beginning of another night of the Ben Malors Show. We
are in the air everywhere Cohorts, as we know your

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Be.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
And we're back at it again here heading into a
hump day in the overnight and coming up later on
next how we have Mallard of the third degree that's
on the on deck circle. Also too much or not
enough got the The Queen of Hearts will make its return.
So anything that you want in your life solved, Lorraine, Uh,

(02:29):
we'll solve that for you and password the word game
is you'll be sleeping by then. You're not gonna be
listening by then, but we will have pass you can
hear on the podcast later on. The chances of you
listening now and listening at the end of the show
are slimming none, but we'd like to think maybe like
two percent of people will anyway, enough about that our
lead this hour coming from the mountain territory, the Rocky

(02:53):
Mountains to be exact, that is where well Rocky Mountain adjacent,
shall we say. The pivotal Game five tied up to two,
Minnesota and Denver, the reeling Wolves, the upstart Nuggets playing
like they did a year ago after El Stinko the
first couple of games. Well, if you didn't watch this,

(03:16):
and maybe not, maybe you didn't care about it. Nikola
Jokic turning on the after burners, that's a basketball player,
won the MVP. They gave it to him before the game.
Nikoliogic went out forty points, thirteen assists, seven rebounds, a
partridge in a pear tree, and the Denver basketball team
mollywopped the Minnesota basketball team by fifteen and so they

(03:42):
have the team from Colorado a three games to lead
the Nuggets, clearly fueled by the Malar food dish there
in Denver, they ended up getting the victory rather easily
in the fourth quarter, really never in doubt. They had
the lead at arms length, did trail briefly in the
third quarter, but the Nuggets are one win away from

(04:04):
heading back to the Final four of the NBA. So
let us discuss the question better story, losing locker room.
So who gets the largest part of the timber Wolves
Juicy Lucy a blame. So I've got plato head and
shoulders and delta, and we will combine all of these

(04:29):
things together and we are going to make the Mighty
Mississippi that runs right through the Twin Cities and kind
of like the Nuggets are running through the Timberwolves here
these last few games. So A, there's plenty of sports
talk shame to go around for the Minnesota basketball team.
That is obvious. However, it falls ultimately on the Yin

(04:52):
and the Yang, the Yin and the Yang. What does
that mean? We start with Anthony Edwards. I like this guy.
It's dynamic, he's fun, he's exciting. He's not Michael Jordan,
although some have tried to compare him to Michael Jordan.
That's fine. But in this game, if you didn't see it,
Anthony Edwards played like your aunt Betty, your seventy year

(05:14):
old aunt Betty out there, my god. Edwards a very
empty eighteen points. It was one of nine at one
point five of fifteen. He finished from the floor. He
was the Duke. Anthony Edwards, the Duke of Puke in
this game, barf bag worthy performance by a headliner. The
coming out party for Anthony Edwards, and he did not

(05:36):
show up. And I do love when the Nuggets lose
at home, which they did the first couple of games.
We hear a lot about the altitude, and we don't
hear about the altitude. Rather when they lose it home,
when they win a home it's the altitude. It's all man,
that team's tired. People seem to have trouble making sure
what the reality is of that? Is it the altitude?
Because like the Nuggets my entire life, every couple of years,

(05:57):
the Nuggets win a championship because of the altitude. They
almost never lose at home, and they win all the
time in the playoffs because of the altitude unless they know.
But as far as the yen and the end, get
back to that. So Anthony Edwards, the Duke of Puke,
we got that barf bag. How about the French rejection.

(06:17):
There was a lot of rejection, but it was not
It was not at the hands of Rudy Gobert, defensive
player of the Year times four in the NBA and
the most polarizing player in Pro basketball. There was no
player in the NBA that did a noise more of
the elites in the NBA than Rudy Gobert. They can't

(06:39):
stand this guy. They can't stand it, and they were
having orgasms watching him drown on the court in this
game that was played a few hours ago. Less than that,
the stifled tower gob Zilla as they call him. Well,
Nicola Jokics treated Rudy Gobert like a kid hand Ndo's play,

(07:00):
though it was absolute child's play here. The Wolves just
the snapshit I have. I don't know if you noticed
this or not, if you're watching the game. Even blind
Emmett saw this. Walking off the court, the Wolves are
walking off the court. They looked absolutely bedraggled. As you're
sorry I lost the game. It's supposed to be done.
I get that, But there was something more. There was

(07:22):
something more to this. You had a shot of their
coach on crutches trying to get off the court. You
had Carl Anthony Towns who had a limp as he
was hobbling off the court. Mike Connelly didn't even play
in the game. He was unable to make the cut
with a sore achilles, so he was out and the

(07:42):
team just looks exhausted, fatigue, drained, zonked, all of those things.
That's what Minnesota looks like. And so will we get
a win by Minnesota to force a Game seven? Or
will they meekly roll over and play dead as so
many great Minnesota teams have done in the past. Now
turning the page, if you watched the game on TV

(08:03):
or just listen to the audio on the TV broadcast,
you probably noted that it sounded a lot different. It
looked a lot different because Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley
were not there. They were not sick, they did not
have the gobbly gook, they didn't have any of that. Instead,

(08:26):
they were out working the advertising market for TNT. So
where are you at on Shack and Charles Barkley, missing
the beloved inside the NBA for TNT's up front in
New York City? Where you at on that? So? I
hated it. I look forward to this. I look forward
to watching Charles Barkley more than I do these stupid

(08:48):
games that I'm watching for the NBA, as most of
them are not very enjoyable. And this was a great example.
You had the Knickerbockers who took a can of whoop
ass to the Pacers in the early game. And Denver
never really in any danger stranger danger against Minnesota. So
I look forward to bark. I didn't get my bark.

(09:08):
I did not get my bark. Draymond Green was on there,
a human tranquilizer for a guy that loves to kick
people in the nuts and punch them. Boy, is that
guy a boar? Traymond Green, my god, do people feed
him lines for his podcast? That is terrible? He sucks.
And then you have Vince Carter. I'd rather hear hollering

(09:31):
James snore than Vin's cart. What a boar? Hit the
mute button. It's nothing personal. You just suck at this.
But you gotta put these guys on right, the ex jocks,
you gotta put them on TV.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
There.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Terrible, my god, horrific. And if there was any doubt
that Charles Barkley is the secret sauce, if you had
any question about how valuable Charles Barkley is as a broadcaster,
he is the straw, and not a cheap, crappy paper
straw like they have in California in other places. He's
a real plastic straw that will last ten thousand years,

(10:06):
and he stirs the drink there for TNT, and that
was a refresher course. And Charles Barkley in shack were
laying out in New York City. They were laying out
bottles of head and shoulders, shall we say, the bottles
of head and shoulder right there for Madison Avenue. As
the Great John Sterling told me on my podcast The
Fifth Hour a couple of years back, he said, the

(10:26):
most important thing is to sell the soap. So Charles
Barkley trying to sell a lot of soap, and it's
very important. Otherwise, IX nay on the TNTA for Charles Barkley.
This is a last ditch. You'd call it in football,
a hail Mary play TNT. If they get enough ad money,
If the people on Madison Avenue pay top dollar here,

(10:52):
then TNT will increase the check they're going to cut
to the NBA. If not, Turner will be x can
communicated and say bye bye to Ernie Johnson. He'll go
at Barkley and Kenny Smith and those guys will likely
go somewhere else, but it will not be the same.
So those are the sticks now, the last word. Here
we pivot quickly an emergency portion of the Mallard monologue.

(11:15):
We go now to the lone star state. We talk baseball,
talking bays Ball. An old friend has a return here
in Major League Baseball on random night, middle of the week.
May not a lot going on in the sport of
baseball this week? Well, scandal in Houston, ding ding ding

(11:37):
ding ding. Yeah, scandal in Houston. The Astros have a
starter named Brunel Blanco, the cheating Asstros. He puts the
cheat in the ass one thousand and two, one thousand holes.
So Renelle Blanco was ejected at the game on Tuesday
night there and started the fourth inning. It was a
two to one victory over the Athletics, the nomads of

(11:59):
base ball, and Renel Blanco ejected for cheating. So wild scene.
The third base umpire Las d As, I've heard of him.
He came over and he he was ejecting Blanco, right.
He checked his glove, a regular DUI checkpoint, if you will,
in this case, a pine tar checkpoint. And it was

(12:20):
more than pine tar, though threw a pitch in before
you had thrown a pitch. On the fourth inning, Blanco
was given the heave ho the umpires, Blanco, the manager
of the cheaters, Joe Espata, I believe he's the guy's name,
and they had a brief pow wow on the mound
and then the right handed pitcher was given the boot. Now,

(12:41):
Blanco's glove was confiscated and taken to FBI headquarters blank
blank blank blank unless it wasn't. But the glove was
taken by the umpires and putting a secret location. So
hopefully nobody'll sneak through the catwalks there in Houston to
try to get said glove back. But here's the deal. Yet,

(13:02):
the ass they won the game? Who cares about that?
Can you explain why starting pitcher Renel Blanco and the
Astros are back cheating again? Well, you could argue they
never stopped cheating, But have you seen the team play?

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Hello?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Have you watched any of this product? That's a bad product.
There's worms. There's worms in the product here. That's a
flea bag outfit in Houston. Houston has been a mil
dewey team, especially in particular on the pitching staffy A
one one thousand holes. They have been like remember that story.

(13:46):
I think it was a year ago, two years ago
that Delta flight, remember the one from Atlanta to Barcelona
that had a biohazard issue because somebody went in the
bathroom and there was like poop and feces that was
flowing down the play. That's the Astros. They're twenty eighth
in er, twenty eight in whip. They whip, and they
whip it bad, the Astros. And so what they've done

(14:11):
here is they've gone back to the franchise charter. That's
what they've done. They've gone back to the franchise charter there,
and they're showing their true colors. When you peel back
the onion, even though the names have changed other than Alboove,
Bragman and one or two other players from that unpunished

(14:33):
cheating team of twenty seventeen. Nonetheless, when you peel back
everything here, you have to now question the entire body
of work of Renel Blanco. A total fraud. He's got
stanky stank all over him here, Blanco, who threw a
no hitter. But of course baseball will not do anything.

(14:55):
Oh no, it was all good. It was all kochher.
Blanco threw a no hitter this season in his debut
this season, through no hitter a lot four hits, struck
out one on Tuesday while cheating. The umpire's finally caught
up to him in the fourth inning. He has an
ERA of just over two this season. That's some really

(15:15):
good pintar. How soon before the bank buying the trash
cans and whistle whistle come back? How soon before that
comes back, Blanco is going to get an automatic ten
games suspension, so he'll be out for ten games. But
there you go. That cheat is gonna cheat. And they
are dirty, rotten cheaters, the Houston a holes and even
though they suck, imagine having to cheat against the Oakland Athletics.

(15:38):
I mean, that's one thing. You're going against the Yankees
right of the Dodgers say, Okay, we got to play
a good team. You're playing the Athletics and you gotta
cheat to beat the Athletics. Are you kidding me, you
pathetic loser. It is the Ben Maler Show. If you

Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick, the Voice of Reason your
news guy. You're announcer guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox.

(17:17):
No play for mister Gray. Oh, one of the great
impressions of all time. Did it in front of Clyde
Fraser while he was on the phone, did it for
him and he was less than impressed. And out live
from the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's
Ben Maller.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
The last time Walt Fraser ever did an interview because
of you, Eddie. He's so embarrassed, he said, I'm done.
I'm out. For some reason, I can't figure this out.
Maybe you can explain this to me. The good people
of Houston did not enjoy part of that Malard monologue.
They I don't know why. Maybe they had too much
pine tar in their ears.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Eddie.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
They couldn't hear the monologue. Maybe that's the problem. There.
Someone named Cam I don't know who that is, but
he writes and he says, please stop walking down on
my as on thousand and two, one thousand holes, Renel Blanco.
Then he says Cam, he's not a cheater. Major League
Baseball puts that damn Rosen out there. They know it
can accidentally accidentally touch another part of your body. They true,

(18:20):
then Cam says, twenty seventeen was seven years ago. I
see y'all still living in the past. Pathetic, well camh no, No,
the American people, truth, justice, and the American way. All right,
listen the cheating as one thousand and two with thats holes. Okay,
they were unpunished, no justice, no peace. You might have
heard that at some march somewhere camp. That's how we

(18:42):
do this year, Major League Baseball. Major League Baseball protected
ran interference at little weasel rob manfraud the Commissioner of Baseball. No,
not a single player, not a single player was punished,
not one that bag bang so whistle. Hey, y'all check
them for the buzzer, none of that. And so as

(19:05):
a result, there has been a curse. A curse has
been put on the a holes and they will never
win again. Now legitimate championship none. Altuve not a Hall
of Famer. He's a chinn cheter, chater, chater. If Barry
Bonds ate in the Hall of Fame, Altuve eate in
the Hall of Fame. What Altuve did was worse check

(19:25):
them for the buzzer and that punchable face. Bregman, how
great is you? See the a holes where they are
in the standing is awesome, so good, so good, and
the page down, Eddie. There's only ten teams in all
of baseball that have a worse record than the Asters.

(19:46):
There's thirty teams in baseball and there's only that. Actually,
there's ten that have a worse record. And then they
won the game they cheated in here that they got
caught cheating in again, Ivan the Terrible Right City says, dude,
cannot live without thinking of the Astros. Get new content,
my guy, now, ediehen's the last time I did astro

(20:08):
related content? I don't know, probably the last time you
were here. No, no, it's been a while. It's been
a while. No No. I was talked down from leg.
I was going to do a funeral on the air.
That's a great radio bait. I was gonna do an
on air funeral for the A holes and call their
season over. I was told by a senior member of

(20:31):
the mal Or militia to stand down, to not do it,
that I would inspire the a holes. Our friend in
the bay said, you can't. You can't do it, am
I reading the standing's wrong? What's that? What are you
talking about?

Speaker 7 (20:45):
I only see four teens of this.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
I'm talking about in all of Major League Baseball. Yeah, yeah,
me too. Let me double check my math here, hold on, sick.
Do we have any music for this? Lorena? Do we
have any music here? Because I think if I'm right here,
I looked at the thing. Let's see here and all
of them. We've got four teams with the worst. I
stand corrected. Yeah, you know who I to touch upause

(21:10):
you know who I blame Eddie who? Yes, they they
gave me some false My eye was run differential. There
you go, run differential, Eddie. There's only ten teams that
are worse. But you're right, four teams have a worse record.
How great is this? I mean, is it a better
record than them? Yeah? Well barely, but yeah it's but

(21:33):
it's wonderful. It's it's just absolutely glorious. They suck, They're
a bag of suck.

Speaker 7 (21:39):
No, he doesn't have a better record than them?

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Who the Angels?

Speaker 7 (21:42):
Angels?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Wow, I didn't want. I wasn't gonna say. That's a
sad place. The big an that is a boring. Mike
Trout had his usual surgery, so he's out for I
guess he's gonna come back. But he played great. I
say he played great. He didn't have a he didn't
hit for average, but he had a bunch of home

(22:03):
runs and pretty much drove himself in and then got hurt.
And yeah, you drive by the big A. There's actually
a cloud over it, a dark cloud that's over there.
You don't wait to see him play in Chicago. You're
not going for them though, you admitted that. Go buy
a Cubs at Coop, enjoy, enjoy the cups. You know,
why not knock yourself out anyway? It is the Ben

(22:24):
Mallor Show. Do we have I sent this audio to you, Coop.
Do we have this audio? I'll put you on the
spot here. So uh, it's from the the Nuggets game
against Minnesota and the Denver Nuggets winning that game rather comfortably.
But in that game, at the end of the first court,
you know, they do that in game interview with the coach,
and the coach of the Timberwolves is hurt. He's out,

(22:47):
and so he's behind the bench. So they had the
guy that's pretending like he's the coach that walks up
and down the sidelines. They had him out there doing
his thing, and he said something that we I'd never
heard this before, so I want to see you guys
are smarter than me, and you know this. This is
the I don't see interim coach. He's not the interim coach.
He's the acting coach. I don't know if he's even

(23:08):
the acting coach because the head coaches.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
Well, he's acting like he's the coach.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
He is acting like that is correct, He is acting
like he's anyway, who cares. This is the assistant for
the Timberwolves, commenting on what the team had going on
there at the end of the first quarter.

Speaker 8 (23:22):
Tikele is, I think the big key for us is
the start of this second quarter.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
Has been kind of detrimental.

Speaker 8 (23:27):
Toughs in this series, kind of starting the second cord.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
We had that Nashville glade looking our face.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Yeah, make sure that we come out through the first punch.

Speaker 9 (23:35):
Well, what the hell is that, Eddie, I don't know.
Sounds yummy, Nashville. I've heard of Nashville Hot Chicken. That's
everywhere Nashville Hot Chicken. You can't go anywhere with that
Nashville Hot Chicken.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
Alrey that brought that in one I think recently did
you all sorts of stuff inde, did you get like
a thirty piece instead of the four piece she ordered?
But unfortunately not? Okay, all right, yeah, so but play
it again. This is the mic is the guy?

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Now?

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I don't any relation to Georgian O. I don't think.
I don't think so.

Speaker 8 (24:04):
I think the big key for us is the start
of this second quarter has been kind of detrimental touts
in this series.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Kind of starting the second cords, we.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Had that Nashville glaze look in our face, and now
we got to make sure that.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
We come out through the first punch.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
Okay, So what I do Eddie in a situation like
this is I, well, no, I don't google it. I
go right to the source, the Urban Dictionary. So I thought, okay,
there must be something. Is he calling Nashville dumb? No,
I think it's it's got it. I think it's some
kind of uh, we'll play it, play it again. I mean,
let me hear one more time before I make my decision.

Speaker 8 (24:37):
I think the big key for us is the start
of this second quarter has been kind of detrimental touts.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
In this series. Kind of starting the second corder, we.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Had that Nashville glaze look in our face and now
we got.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
To make it leaves driver's book on your face. You're like,
but maybe it's like a food dish in Nashville. They
put clays on it.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
But what does that have to do with I don't
know the look like And he said that.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
But it's never heard it.

Speaker 4 (24:57):
He made that up.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
He made that up. Over, he made that up. And
he made that up. He made he must have made
that up.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
He had you go to mass that the second quarter
has been detrimental to that look.

Speaker 10 (25:08):
Yeah, but they've come out with a Nashville He was
very specific about Nashville glaze.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
That is not a thing. He either made it up
or somebody. You know the old bit we used to
do in radio where you talk to a coach and
you say, oh, can can you work this phrase into
your interview? Done that a few times? You work this.
I've done that with people. People email me phrases I've
said because they challenged me.

Speaker 10 (25:32):
They had a bet if your eyes glaze over, they
become dull and lose all expression, usually because you are
bored or thinking about something else.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Yeah, but we're on in Nashville and I I text
a friend of mine that lives in the Nashville area
and they had never heard of this.

Speaker 7 (25:51):
Yeah, I'm just I think he's taking a shot at Nashville.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
What that's random in a Minnesota Denver game, you take
a shot at Nashville.

Speaker 7 (25:58):
I don't know, he's got some.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
Okay, Drew Wrights in Cowboy, Drew says the timber Wolves
are done. I said they'd win it all. But they're
a Minnesota team. Back to the bottle when you were
gone and they had kicked the crap out of Denver
and taking that two old lead wonderful.

Speaker 6 (26:16):
I was like, Oh, they're winning a title, first title
for the city of Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Since its Yeah, and well sorry about that.

Speaker 10 (26:23):
Our friends in kse Garcia jinks, Well, what's interesting we
had We had some people call up from Minnesota, and
if I remember correctly, a couple of them are like,
we're just waiting for this to all go to.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Go to hell. No, that's true, and sure the hell
it is gone. It is fascinating. Rudy Gobert, who was
obsolete in Utah in the playoffs, and then for the
first couple of games here in the Pleasa, they looked fine,
and now he's back to being like outdated He's like
installing a payphone in front of your store. It's like,

(26:56):
why would you do that? There's no point in doing that.
People don't have change and they don't use paypals, So

think the person who blew the whistle whistle whistle on
the astros cheating Scanne, Mike Fires got punished the most,

Dodgers finally realized Dave Roberts is a you know, a
stiff and put me in there. I love that shack
that roster up a little bit in the postseason. So
it's great. We're just a phone call away at we're

(28:44):
on the big stage here at Fox Sports Radio. Man
Division one colleges are hiring their coach from our lineup here. Awesome,
this is an amazing thing.

not a big sports guy though he's not really a
whole sports.

Speaker 6 (29:05):
I saw the headline about, you know, Gottlieb hired his
Green Bay coach, and I'm like, that's not Doug Gottleeve.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
So I click on him, like, oh my god, it
is it is, you know, his father coach there back
in the year. I did read the story that yeah,
he's gone back home. Well home was actually a Newport Beach,
I believe, but not anymore. I guess he's going to
sell the house. I don't know what the movie.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
That is quite the quite the move from Newport Beach
to Green Bay, Wiscon.

Speaker 11 (29:29):

a good kid. If I was one of these kids,
I'd be pissed. Maybe they're okay with it now. Wisconsin
is great during the summer. Any well, they have a
winter though, Ben, Well, yeah, the rest of the year.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
How's it? Then? I remember Bob Yuker had a funny line,
as he often has had funny lines, but at the
Old County Stadium and was talking about Wisconsin and he
said it's the greatest I'm paraphrasing here, and he didn't
say it into a microphone, but he said something to
the fact it was like the greatest place to live
for like a month and a half a year the

(30:05):
rest of the year that somebody, but for a month
and a half at the lakes are everywhere, right, The
trees are wonderful. It's just wonderful for the month and
a half. It is the Bain matter. Yeah, by the way,
hit that button, Lorena, you.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Know what that's malor fun fact.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Here's a fun fact proving that there's a stat for everything.
We are told that one Soto that's a baseball player
for the New York American League team has passed Mickey
mantle By in the record books. Say what, Yes, he's
passed Mickey Mantleby for the most walks by a player
before the age of twenty six. Now, Eddie used to

(30:43):
do stats for a living, and he pointed out, and
we've known this song on this show for a long time,
that there is a stat for everything. What often happens
is you are told, hey, come up with a stat.
I need a stat for this, and so they arbitrarily
pull a number out of their took us and say,
all right, yeah, age twenty six, and so congratulations to
one Soto the most walks by a player before the

(31:06):
age of twenty six. Thats your fun fact. Here, let's
go to the phone. Oh, the guy was gonna go
to hung up the schmuck hung up. Bad job by him. Hey,
