Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome to the original Recipe podcast. You have tuned in
with limited commercial interruption. We are loud and proud on
this Ben Maler Show podcast. For the Thursday edition, the
sixteenth day of May, It's going to be an audio slugfest.
Explain how Lukeka don Chick could play so well with
(00:24):
a damaged knee and ankle, the Mavericks one against OKC,
and also where did things go sideways for the thunder.
We'll discuss that the NFL's added a Christmas doubleheader on Netflix.
They say they're working with streamers like Netflix to bring
(00:44):
a younger fan base to the NFL. Is that how
you see it? We'll get to that, and who knows
what else? Right now here, it is our number.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
One hurt or not well come in the beginning of
a brand spanking new addition to the Benvalor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
We are in the air everywhere like.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Minded patrons, as we are the lead sledg. Right now,
we have a hostile takeover of these powerful microphones coast
to coast, border to border and beyond on the vast
and sizingly powerful Mike's of fsre emmnating live from the
Bob the Bob and weave of audio Haymakers. We're broadcasting
(01:40):
live from the ti rack dot com studios. Tyraq dot

and bothered. Tire ract dot com the way I are
(02:00):
buying should be. And you know business is booming. Business
is absolutely booming.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
When I get.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Messages throughout the day, people looking forward to the first
live read of the night. Now that was not the
first live reading night. That was called the tease. That
was like a little appetizer for what's to come. But
in between the live reads we have Feller Otherwise. Notice
the content of the show and our lead this hour
coming from.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The dust Bowl, if you will. Is that an outdated reference?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I know that guy in North Carolina gets upset when
I mentioned North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I always say Tobacco road, and that guy gets upset.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
To people get upset if I said the dust Bawl Anyway,
Oklahoma City, I've been there years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I stayed there. I did a college football game in Norman,
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
The stage for Game five Dallas in town series tied
to too.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That was the setup. Did you watch? Did you watch?
Maybe not? Based on the ratings, probably not so.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Someone named Luka Doncick were told these pretty good scored
thirty one points in a triple double, not a double double,
a triple double with extra cheese, and the mav Rex
comfortably beat the thunder. You never got the vibe. Even
though Oklahoma City was in striking distance. You never got
the vibe that they were actually going to win the
(03:21):
game one O four to ninety two to the final.
So with that, the MAVs take a three to two
lead in the Western Conference semi finals. Don Chick, who
sucked the last game, but not this game. He was
twelve of twenty two, eleven assists, ten rebounds, sixth career
playoff triple double. Someone named Derek Jones. I don't know
who that is, but he had a playoff career high nineteen.
(03:41):
Someone named PJ. Washington. I think I know who that is.
He had ten points and ten rebounds. Dallas shot over
fifty percent, which is pretty good. I didn't play in
the NBA, but I think that's pretty good. Now, TNT
then what I don't want to get to So during
the day, TNT reported that Luka Doncik was labor up
and down the court in this series, and they had
(04:03):
some very dramatic reporting, and they were not alone.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
There were other.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
People that were reporting similar things about the star in Dallas.
So let us discuss the question, can you explain how
Luka Doncik could play so well with what we are
told is a damaged knee and ankle? Can you explain
to the layman how that could happen? So I've got
(04:30):
the big book, snow white, and grab bag, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make and all you can eat buffet and
knock yourself out. So a this is the latest example
of my NBA postseason pet peeve. Now, I've complained in
(04:50):
recent episodes of the show about how gullible many in
the basketball media are, the elites of basketball media and
the way this works.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I come in here for four hours a.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Night, plus a podcast on the weekend, and I am
a skeptic, a curious skeptic. I like consuming the sporting news.
You can say I'm a sporting news junkie, which is
a little different than Jed who fled he's a different
kind of junkie.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But I crave information. I do. I crave information.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I just don't really believe most of the stuff that
I come across because I've seen how they make the
hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's part of the problem. I was around a lot
back in.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
The day, these media events, and I know how this
stuff has worked. It's only gotten worse with the social media.
But Luka Doncic, the leading scorer in the regular season,
had struggled, that's being kind in this series. And so
the story was he was playing through a spray and
(05:52):
right knee at a sore left ankle. It was averaging
twenty two points, which is not for him, not that great,
and shooting thirty nine percent in the first four games
of this series against Oklahoma. So you're not allowed though
I've learned this. If you're a headline player in the ABA,
if you're at the very top of the pecking order,
you're not allowed to play like hot fertilizer.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You're not okay.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So what the basketball media have done, and the people
that are inside the inner circle, they turned to the
Big Book of excuses, the Book of Big excuses, and
there's an excuse for every occasion, for example one, and
I say this in air quotes, reporter One reporter claimed,
(06:37):
if this were the regular season, Lukka would have been
shut down for a minimum of at least, wait for it,
two weeks, that he's that damage. They breathlessly mentioned that
Luca has been getting two to three hours of daily
intense physical therapy. What a sob story here, I let out,
(07:00):
treating a litany of ailments including a bum, knee, ankle spraining,
a back injury, a sora kills. You think he was
a boxer or something like that, or working construction job
instead of playing forty eight minutes with a lot of timeouts.
And he didn't even play forty eight minutes. And so
the reporting was he got the back injury, the ankle,
(07:23):
the knee, achilles, the whole thing, and it's been bothering
him for the last four months. So you would have
thought Luca needed to turn in his Mavreck uniform and
have that replaced by a hospital gown.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But it's a paradise.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's a sucker's paradise, very similar to what we've seen
with the Knickerbockers and Jalen Brunson. When the Knicks lose
by thirty. Jalen Brunson's on half a leg and then
he comes out and he's Michael Angelo in the next game,
and all of a sudden he's you know, it doesn't
hurt that much. It's odd how that happens. Now, as
far as far as this Dallas Oklahoma City matchup, where
(08:02):
do things or where did things?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Where did things go sideways? That's the cost.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Where did things go sideways? For OKC? So here's the
way I broke the game down. I wrote some notes down.
You had Shay Gilgis Alexander former Clipper, who had thirty points,
eight assists and six remounds. Things went haywire because not
because of him, because of snow White and the seven Dorts.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's the story.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Lout Dort and the other starter shot a combined seventeen
or forty five.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Now you do not do not have to be Charles
Barkley to know that's not going to get it done.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They sucked from head to toe, as Towards said back
in the day, and that coach in Toronto, it's a
complete the crap as he had how he would say
the NBA would love Luca and Nicola.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The international flavor.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
In half of the bracket, you could have the Knickerbockers
with Jalen Brunts in New York, Boston with Jason Tatum,
and then on the other you've got the Nuggets and Mavericks.
Now the last word here, we're gonna pivot away from
pro bouncy ball. We go to TV Land. Now why
do we go to TV Land? I'll tell you it's
(09:11):
a talk show. We heard and you probably did as well.
That Netflix. It's official they are going to stream at
least one NFL game globally on Christmas Day for the
next three years. Now, as part of the three year deal,
Netflix is going to broadcast two Christmas games this year,
and then we'll air at least one Holiday game in
(09:34):
twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six. Now, this year's
Christmas Day doubleheader will have Canzaw City and Pittsburgh, followed
by a game between the Ravens and the Texas. Now,
the league has said that they are working with Netflix
and other streamers in an effort to bring younger fans.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
To the NFL. Is that how you see it?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So I'm gonna give this one a super duper eye roll,
because in no way, shape or form. Is this about
a younger demo.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It is not. It is that Fooey, I say to
that Fooie.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That is a grab bag situation for the NFL, a
money grab bag Netflix. We are told according to the
Wall Street Journal, they tell us Netflix is playing seventy
five million dollars per game. Seventy five million dollars per game,
So that means that's an extra one hundred and fifty
million dollars to be divvied up by the members of
(10:35):
the Cartel of Football this year. Extra one hundred and
fifty million out of thin air. That's the reality. And
younger fans are not paying for any of this. They're
watching on the dark web, they're watching on Russian websites.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
They're not watching. They're not paying for this.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's the old geezers the that are paying for It's
not the the young hipsters that are paying for that.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That's not how this is working.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I will tell you I text a person that is
someone who has a bit of power, much more than
I do doing the Overnight Show, who works in sports,
who could not sing the praises of Netflix enough and
essentially said in so many words that everyone in sports
not just the NFL, the NBA, NHL. Everyone is aroused
(11:25):
because Netflix is in the game.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And Netflix had not been part of sports.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
They just didn't do it, and then all of a sudden,
now they're getting fully invested in sports. You had that
Tom Brady roast, which is kind of a sports thing
because who the hell cares about Tom Brady unless you're
a sports person. So you had that the Mike Tyson
cham fight. They'll be futching around there in Texas, him
(11:51):
and some YouTuber. And now you've got the NFL. So
the person that I was communicating was I will this
just opens it up. If if Turner is trying to
get out of it, well Netflix is getting into it.
If the old media does not want to be part
of it, now Netflix is in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We already have.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Amazon, They're involved in sports, and so this is great.
We'll just pivot from the old traditional media, old traditional
television and they'll just go to the new streaming services.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
So good luck.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I will warn you, as we have seen with everything else,
sports is involved in inflation. The price of all of
these streaming services is going to go up because of sports.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
To pay for sports, it's going to go up and
we'll say, we'll see the audience will be there.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
They'll get big numbers on Netflix and people will be watching,
just like they watched the Tom Brady Roast. I think
that got thirteen million viewers or something like that did
very well.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And so so.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's the way it is. This is the Ben Maliser.
We thank you for tuning in. We you know you
have options, not good ones because it's the middle of
the night.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Who the hell's on?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But we thank you for being part of and consuming
consuming the contents.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Its means a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And since this particular NBA game and I think we
covered all of it between the Mavericks and Thunder and
we just pivoted away to some hot streaming talk for
the NFL, we'll pivot straight ahead. Coaches say the darnedest things. Now,
if you want to be part of this, speak easy
rules to apply. That just means I'm not giving out
the number. So if you want to call, do some legwork,
(13:28):
figure out how to call. You're smart, you're not an idiot.
You can figure out how to call. But I'm not
giving out the number.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And also on X at Ben Mahler, that's at Ben Mahler.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
If you want to be part coaches say the Darnedest
Things Toss Up Edition.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Speaker 5 (13:48):

(14:49):
I'm at Eddie on Fox. Hey, Amanda, What's up? What's up?
Is coming up in the final hour of tonight's program.
It's my weekly NHL feature, Puck the World. It's worth
sticking around the entire four hours for and I'll live
with the tirerack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That is debatable whether or not that is reason to
stick around for all four hours.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
That is high trying to help your show out come on.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And I'm annoyed that at that Mallard meet and greet
we did in Charleston last week, I had multiple listeners
come up to me, including Dale Ken. A guy named
Ken came and he says, oh, yeah, listen to let
Edie know I listened to his podcast.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I said, I'm not gonna let it out. He's gonna
get a big head. I don't want Eddie to get
a big head. He's already got a big enough head.
What size hat do you wear, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Well, usually it's I usually go for seven and a
half that's a big head. Yeah. I like it a
little rooming there, and I don't want it too tight.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You like it roomy.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Yeah, all right, well it's a big head. I do
have a big head.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, you'll be very excited, Eddie when I pay off
my teas here coming up with, which I'll probably do
about three hours into the show because I always forget.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But that's the plan. I think you'll enjoy. I think
you'll enjoy it very much.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan says. I was all set
up to give you a ten out of ten, he
says on the Mala monologue, the opener of the show,
and then you had to go and mention the stupid
roast six out of ten d minus. Yeah, this guy,
Matt has such a rows. I'll bet you dollars to
(16:20):
donuts this dope Matt.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
If he actually.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Watched the Tom Brady roast, he would not have this opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It was a throwback to when comedy was funny, and
this guy's giving me a hard time. It's one of
the greatest things I've seen in years on television other
than Benny Versus the Penny, of course.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
On regional NBC Sports cable television.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
A late night drug tester says, a sports information junkie
is an acceptable addiction. No need to waste money on
any further testing for me, says the late night drug tester.
Jason the Diamond Man says, I give that Malard monologue
a ten. He says, I give you that a ten.
If it would have I would have been higher. He says, though,
but I hate buffets. For example, if a poutine had
(17:04):
been mentioned, you would have gotten a fifty.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So he does not. Yeah, I get a lot of
buffets have like the low end food. Eddy.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
If you can get a high end buffet, there's nothing
better than a high end buffet.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
And then you remember the Stanley Cup finals, right, that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Was holy crap. Then they do it right at the NHL.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I've had some of the greatest media freeloading experiences back
in the old days.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Man, it was it was crazy. Uh And the NHL
wasn't that I mean that was ten years ago, I guess, right,
something like that. Yeah, holy crap, how's that happened? How's
that hasn't been ten years since that? That experience? That's wild?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
A TJ from Parts Unknown right since he Hey, malat,
don't forget the WWE is moving to Netflix.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Also.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, so my wife pays for every fricking streaming service. Okay,
I don't watch any of them. I really don't. I
she pays for all them. But I will tell you
that on the weekends, we have like a couple hours
on a Friday or Saturday, will.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Watch crap, and she'll find she knows I.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Only watched documentaries because I'm very boring in them old,
so she'll find like a lot of documentary and usually
the good ones these days are on Netflix. So they've
actually and there was a while that they had a
lot of there was nothing like, but lately there's a
lot of good stuff that's been on there.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So I want to point that out.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Started watching one on Netflix earlier today.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
What were you watching?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
It's about Ashley Madison.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Oh, Ashley Madison. Back in the day. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Well kind that might have been before my time probably
was what about Ashley Madison?
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Did they just the whole you know, the the rise
and fall of Ashley Madison?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Well people are thinking right now that you're talking about
an individual.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
The the dating website for already married people.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, what a great idea.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Geez, well he made idea.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, they made a lot of money, but.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Then they got hacked and uh has hit the fan?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah that goes back to the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I haven't heard Ashley Madison.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And that's probably why they went away, right, that's probably
why I haven't heard about them.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Why would I hear about them. They're not They're not
a thing anymore, right, right?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, there was I think Eddie knows the story. There
was a very well known former athlete that worked at
our place. I will not name because I'll get sued
and I will have my knees broken. Who I I
followed one time on a weekend show and they did
not close out their computer.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Do you remember what was on the computer?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Eddye?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Do you remember the story here?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You don't remember? Actually I might when you tell me
about it. If you tell me about.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It, well, I will not name the person. I will
leave the names out of the show. But the person
had left all of his windows open on his computer
and a little sloppy because uh, not Ashley Madison. But
the one that followed it, which was, uh, can we
give it out? I don't know give it out, but
it was a website that was like Ashley Madison, It's
(20:13):
like a friend finder website.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
If you will.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Oh yeah, that one's still around.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh that's still around.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Okay, Yeah it was. It was kind of you know
the thing. You know, I be rude to look, but
I mean it was right in front of me. What
am I supposed to do? I mean you leave if
you leave it right, I mean you're gonna look a
little bit. Yeah, So that was that was a while back.
And that person'll leave that out of the show until
(20:40):
they die and then we'll mention uh for dog rights
and says superstars like Luca play through injuryes Ben, you
should know that that better than anyone. You've never let
any of your nagging sports injuries slow you down. You
bring it each and every night. That's correct for a dog.
I've done a show. I had burned my tongue. I
(21:01):
had a lisp like that old Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz.
I had a lisp because I ate pizza too fast
that I had made. I burned my tongue and I
came in here with a lisp. I've done the show
with laryngitis because our bosses, don't listen. I had laryngitis.
I couldn't even speak. I've had I had COVID. I
did the show coughing every other every other word from
(21:21):
the home studio. Shannon to Moin write sinces, I feel
like the WNBA misses a golden opportunity every year by
not starting the season on Mother's Day, much like the
NBA should start their season on Christmas. He says eight
plus plus on the Mallor monologue. Yeah, you'll have to
educate me on that WNBA, King Rory right, sinceys the
(21:42):
NFL saying that Netflix will draw in a younger audience
is bull malarkey. The King Rory says, if they really
want a younger audience, they would put the games on
those TikTok or Insta model Graham app pages.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Thank God for the Internet.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Because, like you said, they aren't paying for the streaming service.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Mommy and Daddy are paying for these streaming service. You
femi out of Chicago.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
By the way, the hat of the Night that I
am wearing is a welcome to Wrigley Field hat that
I got a couple years back when I was the
last time I was in Chicago, and we sat in
the bleachers thanks to the great Jonas Knox, who hooked
me up bleacher seats there at Wrigley And it was
cold and raining. The entire game was a Cubs White
(22:30):
Sox game, and I had to leave early. Not because
I was uncomfortable, the family not real comfortable, so we
had to take off your Femi rites in though he says, hey,
Malar a plus and a bear shape deep dish pizza.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
On the Mala monologue.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Looking at this cupcake schedule, I see twelve wins. Seeing
Caleb throw the ball in shorts outside has me hopeful. Yeah,
now will his mom beat the game so when he
doesn't play well in the cold weather he can go
run and cry on his mom's shoulder. Well, that will
set be at the games.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm just I'm asking for a friend. I'm asking for
a friend.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Art Puffin says existential mal with monologue ninety nine point
nine percent and the jail house spread for giving me
material to use against Kawhi.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
No show, Leonard.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
If he meaning Kawhi had as much pride in Cajones
as Luka, the People's team would still be in the
running for a chip. That's all right, you can make
fun of Kawhi Leonard. But he's sitting by drinking cocktail
at his casa in San Diego right now, Casa Kawhi,
having a fine time and not worried at all about anything.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
And he just got an extension. He's he's good to go,
good to go.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven p em Pacific.
Speaker 6 (24:00):

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Know, our buddy still lives there. The guy got whacked
by the pirates. He's still Robbie. He still lives there.
So if you want to hang out with him.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Okay, he hang out sounds good.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think you know, Robbie, I text him to say
how upset I was that I will no longer watch
Pirate Baseball because of Robbie.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
But then you watched Pirate Baseball today.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, I watched the Brewers only I didn't watch the
Pirates when they were hitting, only watched the But Robbie's
apparently gotten a job in Dallas and he's working, not
the full schedule, but he's doing some Texas Ranger games.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So now the Rangers reigning champions.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Robbie's doing some studio stuff and some stuff at the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So that's good news. Our guy, Robbie back in the game.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Congratulations Dan. But I do want to mention the NFL
schedule released. We have nine playoff rematches, including last year's
Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the forty nine Ers.
That's coming up week six in Kansas City. As for
Week one, you know about the season opener AFC Title
Game rematch Chiefs against the Ravens on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I know about it, and maybe real they forgot all right, Well.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
It's on Thursday, the rematch the AFC Title Game. That's
you also have Week one Rams versus Lions. That's the
Sunday night game. Week two you've got Lions versus Buccaneers
with Rams Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Now is that in La or Detroit?
Speaker 6 (25:41):
That is a good quick You should know that as
a Rams fan. I can't believe you're asking me.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I don't care about you worked up for the schedule.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I don't know it's in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It is in Detroit, So will they I'll be making
you to that game. Oh, you will not be able,
and I think I'll be at a tenant at that game. Uns,
somebody wants to fly me into Detroit.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Can't see that happening. Week two you got Lions Buccaneers.
Week four, Eagles Buccaneers, Week eleven, Chiefs Bills Week twelve,
forty nine Ers Packers, Week seventeen forty nine Ers Lions
rematched the NFC title game. That's a Monday nighter. And
Week seventeen as well, Ravens versus Texans. Very exciting.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Okay, it is the Ben Mahler Show, and we have buttons.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Hit one of those buttons, Learne, that's right right there.
Hit that button right there. Here we go. This is
very exciting.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Malor fun fact, Well, Lukat Dncik just had another thirty
point game, and according to the Internet, Luca has more
thirty point playoff games now than ninety eight point seven
percent of all players in NBA history ninety eight points.
He's in the one point three percentage of all NBA players.
(26:48):
Luka Dancik more thirty point playoff games than ninety eight
point seven which is also an FM radio station in
Los Angeles and a bunch of other cities playing in.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
NBA history there, So whooped.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Of course, that's kind of a fugazi stat because most
players in the NBA will never have an opportunity to
score thirty points in a playoff game because they're secondary
players or they don't play at all. So it's kind
of a bull crap stat. But people love stats. That's
a stat. There you go, now, speaking of fun. In
a blatant attempt to suck up to hockey centric Eddie Garcia,
(27:24):
we have coaches say the darnedest things the toss up. Addition,
I want to think Johnny from Boston, I think I'm
getting that right. Johnny from Boston, who listens to us
on Fox Sports Radio out of the Sports Hub in Boston,
which is one of the great sports talkers in the country.
They dominate. They get like seventy shares in Boston. They
(27:46):
have the number one show in the afternoon. Their felgrin
Mass They just do real anyway. Johnny claims he's a
long time listening to the show. He said he was
upset with me because I have not played any sound
from the Florida Panthers coach and he's said that I enjoy.
He says he knows I enjoy coaching rants and things
like that because of my love of John Tortorella, coach
(28:08):
of the Flyers.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So Johnny then directed me.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And said that that the coach, which is I believe
his name is Paul Maurice, the coach of the Florida Panthers,
that he had some audio gold this week. So we're
gonna do a toss up which of these sound bites
is better? Which of these sound bites is better?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Sound bite number one is the coach of the Florida
Panthers talking. Let's do the one where he talks about
his pep talk, the pep talk, which might be cut
too for you. But when he talks about the pep talk,
he gave the Panthers. Here and listen to Paul Maurice.
This is sound bite.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
See all right, it's gonna be an absolute barn burner
in there.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
They'll be no it. This one.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Well that the fire was mad at them and understood
what they were going through. I just thought they needed
some profanity in their life.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
That I don't excel a lot of things in life,
but man I get at that.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You see how I did that?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, all right, so let's let's play that one we
just played again. So again, this is Paul Maurice. He's
giving he was asked about the pep talk he gave.
He gave a Florida Panthers, and this is very calm,
very calm delivery. Listen to him explain that the money
quotes in the middle.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
But listen, oh fire, I wasn't mad.
Speaker 9 (29:20):
I'm understood what they were going through. I just thought
they needed some profanity in their life. I brought something
that I don't excel a lot of things in life,
but man I get at that.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
So that line there, which I'd like to have as
a drop. I don't know if we're going to do that,
but they needed some profanity. That's good. Now that sound
bite number one. Now sound bite number two is Paul Maurice,
the coach of the Panthers. Again, thanks to Johnny and
Boston who emailed me uh this earlier in the day,
I thank you. This is sound bite number two. He
was talking about how exciting it's going to be on
(29:59):
the pregame skate on later on.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I believe this is on.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Is it Friday or is it Thursday of the game.
I think I think it might be on Friday. But anyway,
here's the Panthers coach talking about how exciting is going
to be during the pregame skate for the media.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Listen right, it's gonna be an absolute barn burner in there.
There'll be eighteen thousand cameras on the morning skate just
to see if when he SIPs the water bottle Brad
Marshaan takes. Its gonna be some high and investigative journalism. Okay,
so we want to get a nap us you got
some news a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Okay, all right, So that's eighteen thousand cameras on the
morning skate just to see how many SIPs of the
water bottle Brad Marshan takes.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's investigative journalism, all right?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
So which of these is better? I'll go first. I'm
gonna go I love the first one. That is great.
They needed some profanity. That is gold, That is absolute gold.
What about you, Eddie, you're the hockey game?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Absolutely the first one.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The second one was pretty good though, right eighteen thousand
cameras on the morning skate to see how many SIPs
of water Brad Marshan takes.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's funny, Loreno. One or two? Which one did you
like better?
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Learne, I'm gonna have to go with the first one.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
To Ben oh that you know that's number talk.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
But isn't that a great drop because we can use
that in any context, like inevitably the Dodgers will be
in the playoffs and you know, somebody's gonna rather than
puke all over the mound and Dave Roberts will do nothing,
And then we can say, hey, what should Dave Roberts
have done? And they needed a pep? You need needed
some profanity. You know we can we can play it
around with Cooper twenty did you like better?
Speaker 7 (31:39):
I only heard the second one. Coop was not listening,
how listen?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
He was on my chicken run you left, go get chicken.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
All right, Coop does not get to play the game,
but let's see what we get. Let me know when
that's a drop in the system here, hopefully like in
a few minutes, and then we can have some fun
with it and we'll even let callers play the game.
So well, we'll have that. But that's that's the first SoundBite.
They needed some profanity. That's a great drop.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We'll add that. We'll add that as a drop and
it'll be amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It'll change your life in magical ways and you'll be
so happy that we have that to add to all
of our little drops that we use on the show.
It's very important, very important that we do that, absolutely absolutely.

this Ben Maler Show podcast. For the Thursday edition, the
sixteenth day of May, It's going to be an audio slugfest.
Explain how Lukeka don Chick could play so well with
(00:24):
a damaged knee and ankle, the Mavericks one against OKC,
and also where did things go sideways for the thunder.
We'll discuss that the NFL's added a Christmas doubleheader on Netflix.
They say they're working with streamers like Netflix to bring
(00:44):
a younger fan base to the NFL. Is that how
you see it? We'll get to that, and who knows
what else? Right now here, it is our number.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
One hurt or not well come in the beginning of
a brand spanking new addition to the Benvalor Show.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
We are in the air everywhere like.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Minded patrons, as we are the lead sledg. Right now,
we have a hostile takeover of these powerful microphones coast

Speaker 1 (02:08):
When I get.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Messages throughout the day, people looking forward to the first
live read of the night. Now that was not the
first live reading night. That was called the tease. That
was like a little appetizer for what's to come. But
in between the live reads we have Feller Otherwise. Notice
the content of the show and our lead this hour
coming from.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
The dust Bowl, if you will. Is that an outdated reference?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I know that guy in North Carolina gets upset when
I mentioned North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I always say Tobacco road, and that guy gets upset.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
To people get upset if I said the dust Bawl Anyway,
Oklahoma City, I've been there years ago.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I stayed there. I did a college football game in Norman,
Oklahoma City.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
The stage for Game five Dallas in town series tied
to too.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
That was the setup. Did you watch? Did you watch?
Maybe not? Based on the ratings, probably not so.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Someone named Luka Doncick were told these pretty good scored
thirty one points in a triple double, not a double double,
a triple double with extra cheese, and the mav Rex
comfortably beat the thunder. You never got the vibe. Even
though Oklahoma City was in striking distance. You never got
the vibe that they were actually going to win the
(03:21):
game one O four to ninety two to the final.
So with that, the MAVs take a three to two
lead in the Western Conference semi finals. Don Chick, who
sucked the last game, but not this game. He was
twelve of twenty two, eleven assists, ten rebounds, sixth career
playoff triple double. Someone named Derek Jones. I don't know
who that is, but he had a playoff career high nineteen.
(03:41):
Someone named PJ. Washington. I think I know who that is.
He had ten points and ten rebounds. Dallas shot over
fifty percent, which is pretty good. I didn't play in
the NBA, but I think that's pretty good. Now, TNT
then what I don't want to get to So during
the day, TNT reported that Luka Doncik was labor up
and down the court in this series, and they had
(04:03):
some very dramatic reporting, and they were not alone.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
There were other.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
People that were reporting similar things about the star in Dallas.
So let us discuss the question, can you explain how
Luka Doncik could play so well with what we are
told is a damaged knee and ankle? Can you explain
to the layman how that could happen? So I've got
(04:30):
the big book, snow white, and grab bag, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make and all you can eat buffet and
knock yourself out. So a this is the latest example
of my NBA postseason pet peeve. Now, I've complained in
(04:50):
recent episodes of the show about how gullible many in
the basketball media are, the elites of basketball media and
the way this works.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I come in here for four hours a.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Night, plus a podcast on the weekend, and I am
a skeptic, a curious skeptic. I like consuming the sporting news.
You can say I'm a sporting news junkie, which is
a little different than Jed who fled he's a different
kind of junkie.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
But I crave information. I do. I crave information.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I just don't really believe most of the stuff that
I come across because I've seen how they make the
hot dogs.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That's part of the problem. I was around a lot
back in.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
The day, these media events, and I know how this
stuff has worked. It's only gotten worse with the social media.
But Luka Doncic, the leading scorer in the regular season,
had struggled, that's being kind in this series. And so
the story was he was playing through a spray and
(05:52):
right knee at a sore left ankle. It was averaging
twenty two points, which is not for him, not that great,
and shooting thirty nine percent in the first four games
of this series against Oklahoma. So you're not allowed though
I've learned this. If you're a headline player in the ABA,
if you're at the very top of the pecking order,
you're not allowed to play like hot fertilizer.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
You're not okay.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
So what the basketball media have done, and the people
that are inside the inner circle, they turned to the
Big Book of excuses, the Book of Big excuses, and
there's an excuse for every occasion, for example one, and
I say this in air quotes, reporter One reporter claimed,
(06:37):
if this were the regular season, Lukka would have been
shut down for a minimum of at least, wait for it,
two weeks, that he's that damage. They breathlessly mentioned that
Luca has been getting two to three hours of daily
intense physical therapy. What a sob story here, I let out,
(07:00):
treating a litany of ailments including a bum, knee, ankle spraining,
a back injury, a sora kills. You think he was
a boxer or something like that, or working construction job
instead of playing forty eight minutes with a lot of timeouts.
And he didn't even play forty eight minutes. And so
the reporting was he got the back injury, the ankle,
(07:23):
the knee, achilles, the whole thing, and it's been bothering
him for the last four months. So you would have
thought Luca needed to turn in his Mavreck uniform and
have that replaced by a hospital gown.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
But it's a paradise.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
It's a sucker's paradise, very similar to what we've seen
with the Knickerbockers and Jalen Brunson. When the Knicks lose
by thirty. Jalen Brunson's on half a leg and then
he comes out and he's Michael Angelo in the next game,
and all of a sudden he's you know, it doesn't
hurt that much. It's odd how that happens. Now, as
far as far as this Dallas Oklahoma City matchup, where
(08:02):
do things or where did things?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Where did things go sideways? That's the cost.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Where did things go sideways? For OKC? So here's the
way I broke the game down. I wrote some notes down.
You had Shay Gilgis Alexander former Clipper, who had thirty points,
eight assists and six remounds. Things went haywire because not
because of him, because of snow White and the seven Dorts.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
That's the story.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Lout Dort and the other starter shot a combined seventeen
or forty five.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Now you do not do not have to be Charles
Barkley to know that's not going to get it done.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
They sucked from head to toe, as Towards said back
in the day, and that coach in Toronto, it's a
complete the crap as he had how he would say
the NBA would love Luca and Nicola.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
The international flavor.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
In half of the bracket, you could have the Knickerbockers
with Jalen Brunts in New York, Boston with Jason Tatum,
and then on the other you've got the Nuggets and Mavericks.
Now the last word here, we're gonna pivot away from
pro bouncy ball. We go to TV Land. Now why
do we go to TV Land? I'll tell you it's
(09:11):
a talk show. We heard and you probably did as well.
That Netflix. It's official they are going to stream at
least one NFL game globally on Christmas Day for the
next three years. Now, as part of the three year deal,
Netflix is going to broadcast two Christmas games this year,
and then we'll air at least one Holiday game in
(09:34):
twenty twenty five and twenty twenty six. Now, this year's
Christmas Day doubleheader will have Canzaw City and Pittsburgh, followed
by a game between the Ravens and the Texas. Now,
the league has said that they are working with Netflix
and other streamers in an effort to bring younger fans.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
To the NFL. Is that how you see it?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
So I'm gonna give this one a super duper eye roll,
because in no way, shape or form. Is this about
a younger demo.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It is not. It is that Fooey, I say to
that Fooie.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
That is a grab bag situation for the NFL, a
money grab bag Netflix. We are told according to the
Wall Street Journal, they tell us Netflix is playing seventy
five million dollars per game. Seventy five million dollars per game,
So that means that's an extra one hundred and fifty
million dollars to be divvied up by the members of
(10:35):
the Cartel of Football this year. Extra one hundred and
fifty million out of thin air. That's the reality. And
younger fans are not paying for any of this. They're
watching on the dark web, they're watching on Russian websites.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
They're not watching. They're not paying for this.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
It's the old geezers the that are paying for It's
not the the young hipsters that are paying for that.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That's not how this is working.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
I will tell you I text a person that is
someone who has a bit of power, much more than
I do doing the Overnight Show, who works in sports,
who could not sing the praises of Netflix enough and
essentially said in so many words that everyone in sports
not just the NFL, the NBA, NHL. Everyone is aroused
(11:25):
because Netflix is in the game.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And Netflix had not been part of sports.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
They just didn't do it, and then all of a sudden,
now they're getting fully invested in sports. You had that
Tom Brady roast, which is kind of a sports thing
because who the hell cares about Tom Brady unless you're
a sports person. So you had that the Mike Tyson
cham fight. They'll be futching around there in Texas, him
(11:51):
and some YouTuber. And now you've got the NFL. So
the person that I was communicating was I will this
just opens it up. If if Turner is trying to
get out of it, well Netflix is getting into it.
If the old media does not want to be part
of it, now Netflix is in.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
We already have.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Amazon, They're involved in sports, and so this is great.
We'll just pivot from the old traditional media, old traditional
television and they'll just go to the new streaming services.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
So good luck.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
I will warn you, as we have seen with everything else,
sports is involved in inflation. The price of all of
these streaming services is going to go up because of sports.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
To pay for sports, it's going to go up and
we'll say, we'll see the audience will be there.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
They'll get big numbers on Netflix and people will be watching,
just like they watched the Tom Brady Roast. I think
that got thirteen million viewers or something like that did
very well.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
And so so.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
That's the way it is. This is the Ben Maliser.
We thank you for tuning in. We you know you
have options, not good ones because it's the middle of
the night.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Who the hell's on?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
But we thank you for being part of and consuming
consuming the contents.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Its means a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
And since this particular NBA game and I think we
covered all of it between the Mavericks and Thunder and
we just pivoted away to some hot streaming talk for
the NFL, we'll pivot straight ahead. Coaches say the darnedest things. Now,
if you want to be part of this, speak easy
rules to apply. That just means I'm not giving out
the number. So if you want to call, do some legwork,
(13:28):
figure out how to call. You're smart, you're not an idiot.
You can figure out how to call. But I'm not
giving out the number.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And also on X at Ben Mahler, that's at Ben Mahler.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
If you want to be part coaches say the Darnedest
Things Toss Up Edition.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
We'll get to that and we will do it next.
Speaker 5 (13:48):

(14:49):
I'm at Eddie on Fox. Hey, Amanda, What's up? What's up?
Is coming up in the final hour of tonight's program.
It's my weekly NHL feature, Puck the World. It's worth
sticking around the entire four hours for and I'll live
with the tirerack dot Com. Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Mallor.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That is debatable whether or not that is reason to
stick around for all four hours.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
That is high trying to help your show out come on.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
And I'm annoyed that at that Mallard meet and greet
we did in Charleston last week, I had multiple listeners
come up to me, including Dale Ken. A guy named
Ken came and he says, oh, yeah, listen to let
Edie know I listened to his podcast.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I said, I'm not gonna let it out. He's gonna
get a big head. I don't want Eddie to get
a big head. He's already got a big enough head.
What size hat do you wear, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Well, usually it's I usually go for seven and a
half that's a big head. Yeah. I like it a
little rooming there, and I don't want it too tight.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
You like it roomy.
Speaker 6 (15:45):
Yeah, all right, well it's a big head. I do
have a big head.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Well, you'll be very excited, Eddie when I pay off
my teas here coming up with, which I'll probably do
about three hours into the show because I always forget.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But that's the plan. I think you'll enjoy. I think
you'll enjoy it very much.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Matt the Warrior Raider fan says. I was all set
up to give you a ten out of ten, he
says on the Mala monologue, the opener of the show,
and then you had to go and mention the stupid
roast six out of ten d minus. Yeah, this guy,
Matt has such a rows. I'll bet you dollars to
(16:20):
donuts this dope Matt.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
If he actually.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Watched the Tom Brady roast, he would not have this opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
It was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
It was a throwback to when comedy was funny, and
this guy's giving me a hard time. It's one of
the greatest things I've seen in years on television other
than Benny Versus the Penny, of course.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
On regional NBC Sports cable television.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
A late night drug tester says, a sports information junkie
is an acceptable addiction. No need to waste money on
any further testing for me, says the late night drug tester.
Jason the Diamond Man says, I give that Malard monologue
a ten. He says, I give you that a ten.
If it would have I would have been higher. He says, though,
but I hate buffets. For example, if a poutine had
(17:04):
been mentioned, you would have gotten a fifty.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So he does not. Yeah, I get a lot of
buffets have like the low end food. Eddy.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
If you can get a high end buffet, there's nothing
better than a high end buffet.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
And then you remember the Stanley Cup finals, right, that.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Was holy crap. Then they do it right at the NHL.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
I've had some of the greatest media freeloading experiences back
in the old days.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Man, it was it was crazy. Uh And the NHL
wasn't that I mean that was ten years ago, I guess, right,
something like that. Yeah, holy crap, how's that happened? How's
that hasn't been ten years since that? That experience? That's wild?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
A TJ from Parts Unknown right since he Hey, malat,
don't forget the WWE is moving to Netflix.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Also.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Yeah, so my wife pays for every fricking streaming service. Okay,
I don't watch any of them. I really don't. I
she pays for all them. But I will tell you
that on the weekends, we have like a couple hours
on a Friday or Saturday, will.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Watch crap, and she'll find she knows I.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Only watched documentaries because I'm very boring in them old,
so she'll find like a lot of documentary and usually
the good ones these days are on Netflix. So they've
actually and there was a while that they had a
lot of there was nothing like, but lately there's a
lot of good stuff that's been on there.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
So I want to point that out.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
Started watching one on Netflix earlier today.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
What were you watching?
Speaker 7 (18:26):
It's about Ashley Madison.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Oh, Ashley Madison. Back in the day. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Well kind that might have been before my time probably
was what about Ashley Madison?
Speaker 7 (18:41):
Did they just the whole you know, the the rise
and fall of Ashley Madison?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
Well people are thinking right now that you're talking about
an individual.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, yeah, I mean yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:52):
The the dating website for already married people.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Yeah, what a great idea.
Speaker 7 (18:58):
Geez, well he made idea.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Yeah, they made a lot of money, but.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Then they got hacked and uh has hit the fan?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah that goes back to the early two thousands.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I haven't heard Ashley Madison.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
And that's probably why they went away, right, that's probably
why I haven't heard about them.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Why would I hear about them. They're not They're not
a thing anymore, right, right?
Speaker 2 (19:23):
Yeah, there was I think Eddie knows the story. There
was a very well known former athlete that worked at
our place. I will not name because I'll get sued
and I will have my knees broken. Who I I
followed one time on a weekend show and they did
not close out their computer.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Do you remember what was on the computer?
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Eddye?
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Do you remember the story here?
Speaker 6 (19:46):
You don't remember? Actually I might when you tell me
about it. If you tell me about.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
It, well, I will not name the person. I will
leave the names out of the show. But the person
had left all of his windows open on his computer
and a little sloppy because uh, not Ashley Madison. But
the one that followed it, which was, uh, can we
give it out? I don't know give it out, but
it was a website that was like Ashley Madison, It's
(20:13):
like a friend finder website.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
If you will.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Oh yeah, that one's still around.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Oh that's still around.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Okay, Yeah it was. It was kind of you know
the thing. You know, I be rude to look, but
I mean it was right in front of me. What
am I supposed to do? I mean you leave if
you leave it right, I mean you're gonna look a
little bit. Yeah, So that was that was a while back.
And that person'll leave that out of the show until
(20:40):
they die and then we'll mention uh for dog rights
and says superstars like Luca play through injuryes Ben, you
should know that that better than anyone. You've never let
any of your nagging sports injuries slow you down. You
bring it each and every night. That's correct for a dog.
I've done a show. I had burned my tongue. I
(21:01):
had a lisp like that old Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz.
I had a lisp because I ate pizza too fast
that I had made. I burned my tongue and I
came in here with a lisp. I've done the show
with laryngitis because our bosses, don't listen. I had laryngitis.
I couldn't even speak. I've had I had COVID. I
did the show coughing every other every other word from
(21:21):
the home studio. Shannon to Moin write sinces, I feel
like the WNBA misses a golden opportunity every year by
not starting the season on Mother's Day, much like the
NBA should start their season on Christmas. He says eight
plus plus on the Mallor monologue. Yeah, you'll have to
educate me on that WNBA, King Rory right, sinceys the
(21:42):
NFL saying that Netflix will draw in a younger audience
is bull malarkey. The King Rory says, if they really
want a younger audience, they would put the games on
those TikTok or Insta model Graham app pages.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Thank God for the Internet.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Because, like you said, they aren't paying for the streaming service.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Mommy and Daddy are paying for these streaming service. You
femi out of Chicago.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
By the way, the hat of the Night that I
am wearing is a welcome to Wrigley Field hat that
I got a couple years back when I was the
last time I was in Chicago, and we sat in
the bleachers thanks to the great Jonas Knox, who hooked
me up bleacher seats there at Wrigley And it was
cold and raining. The entire game was a Cubs White
(22:30):
Sox game, and I had to leave early. Not because
I was uncomfortable, the family not real comfortable, so we
had to take off your Femi rites in though he says, hey,
Malar a plus and a bear shape deep dish pizza.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
On the Mala monologue.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Looking at this cupcake schedule, I see twelve wins. Seeing
Caleb throw the ball in shorts outside has me hopeful. Yeah,
now will his mom beat the game so when he
doesn't play well in the cold weather he can go
run and cry on his mom's shoulder. Well, that will
set be at the games.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm just I'm asking for a friend. I'm asking for
a friend.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
Art Puffin says existential mal with monologue ninety nine point
nine percent and the jail house spread for giving me
material to use against Kawhi.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
No show, Leonard.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
If he meaning Kawhi had as much pride in Cajones
as Luka, the People's team would still be in the
running for a chip. That's all right, you can make
fun of Kawhi Leonard. But he's sitting by drinking cocktail
at his casa in San Diego right now, Casa Kawhi,
having a fine time and not worried at all about anything.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
And he just got an extension. He's he's good to go,
good to go.
Speaker 5 (23:55):

So if you want to hang out with him.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Okay, he hang out sounds good.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
I think you know, Robbie, I text him to say
how upset I was that I will no longer watch
Pirate Baseball because of Robbie.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
But then you watched Pirate Baseball today.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well, I watched the Brewers only I didn't watch the
Pirates when they were hitting, only watched the But Robbie's
apparently gotten a job in Dallas and he's working, not
the full schedule, but he's doing some Texas Ranger games.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
So now the Rangers reigning champions.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Robbie's doing some studio stuff and some stuff at the ballpark.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
So that's good news. Our guy, Robbie back in the game.
Speaker 6 (25:08):
Congratulations Dan. But I do want to mention the NFL
schedule released. We have nine playoff rematches, including last year's
Super Bowl between the Chiefs and the forty nine Ers.
That's coming up week six in Kansas City. As for
Week one, you know about the season opener AFC Title
Game rematch Chiefs against the Ravens on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
I know about it, and maybe real they forgot all right, Well.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
It's on Thursday, the rematch the AFC Title Game. That's
you also have Week one Rams versus Lions. That's the
Sunday night game. Week two you've got Lions versus Buccaneers
with Rams Lions.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Now is that in La or Detroit?
Speaker 6 (25:41):
That is a good quick You should know that as
a Rams fan. I can't believe you're asking me.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I don't care about you worked up for the schedule.
Speaker 6 (25:47):
I don't know it's in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It is in Detroit, So will they I'll be making
you to that game. Oh, you will not be able,
and I think I'll be at a tenant at that game. Uns,
somebody wants to fly me into Detroit.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Can't see that happening. Week two you got Lions Buccaneers.
Week four, Eagles Buccaneers, Week eleven, Chiefs Bills Week twelve,
forty nine Ers Packers, Week seventeen forty nine Ers Lions
rematched the NFC title game. That's a Monday nighter. And
Week seventeen as well, Ravens versus Texans. Very exciting.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Okay, it is the Ben Mahler Show, and we have buttons.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Hit one of those buttons, Learne, that's right right there.
Hit that button right there. Here we go. This is
very exciting.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Malor fun fact, Well, Lukat Dncik just had another thirty
point game, and according to the Internet, Luca has more
thirty point playoff games now than ninety eight point seven
percent of all players in NBA history ninety eight points.
He's in the one point three percentage of all NBA players.
(26:48):
Luka Dancik more thirty point playoff games than ninety eight
point seven which is also an FM radio station in
Los Angeles and a bunch of other cities playing in.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
NBA history there, So whooped.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Of course, that's kind of a fugazi stat because most
players in the NBA will never have an opportunity to
score thirty points in a playoff game because they're secondary
players or they don't play at all. So it's kind
of a bull crap stat. But people love stats. That's
a stat. There you go, now, speaking of fun. In
a blatant attempt to suck up to hockey centric Eddie Garcia,
(27:24):
we have coaches say the darnedest things the toss up. Addition,
I want to think Johnny from Boston, I think I'm
getting that right. Johnny from Boston, who listens to us
on Fox Sports Radio out of the Sports Hub in Boston,
which is one of the great sports talkers in the country.
They dominate. They get like seventy shares in Boston. They
(27:46):
have the number one show in the afternoon. Their felgrin
Mass They just do real anyway. Johnny claims he's a
long time listening to the show. He said he was
upset with me because I have not played any sound
from the Florida Panthers coach and he's said that I enjoy.
He says he knows I enjoy coaching rants and things
like that because of my love of John Tortorella, coach
(28:08):
of the Flyers.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
So Johnny then directed me.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
And said that that the coach, which is I believe
his name is Paul Maurice, the coach of the Florida Panthers,
that he had some audio gold this week. So we're
gonna do a toss up which of these sound bites
is better? Which of these sound bites is better?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Now?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Sound bite number one is the coach of the Florida
Panthers talking. Let's do the one where he talks about
his pep talk, the pep talk, which might be cut
too for you. But when he talks about the pep talk,
he gave the Panthers. Here and listen to Paul Maurice.
This is sound bite.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
See all right, it's gonna be an absolute barn burner
in there.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
They'll be no it. This one.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
Well that the fire was mad at them and understood
what they were going through. I just thought they needed
some profanity in their life.
Speaker 8 (28:58):
That I don't excel a lot of things in life,
but man I get at that.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
You see how I did that?
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah, all right, so let's let's play that one we
just played again. So again, this is Paul Maurice. He's
giving he was asked about the pep talk he gave.
He gave a Florida Panthers, and this is very calm,
very calm delivery. Listen to him explain that the money
quotes in the middle.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
But listen, oh fire, I wasn't mad.
Speaker 9 (29:20):
I'm understood what they were going through. I just thought
they needed some profanity in their life. I brought something
that I don't excel a lot of things in life,
but man I get at that.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
So that line there, which I'd like to have as
a drop. I don't know if we're going to do that,
but they needed some profanity. That's good. Now that sound
bite number one. Now sound bite number two is Paul Maurice,
the coach of the Panthers. Again, thanks to Johnny and
Boston who emailed me uh this earlier in the day,
I thank you. This is sound bite number two. He
was talking about how exciting it's going to be on
(29:59):
the pregame skate on later on.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
I believe this is on.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Is it Friday or is it Thursday of the game.
I think I think it might be on Friday. But anyway,
here's the Panthers coach talking about how exciting is going
to be during the pregame skate for the media.
Speaker 8 (30:13):
Listen right, it's gonna be an absolute barn burner in there.
There'll be eighteen thousand cameras on the morning skate just
to see if when he SIPs the water bottle Brad
Marshaan takes. Its gonna be some high and investigative journalism. Okay,
so we want to get a nap us you got
some news a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Okay, all right, So that's eighteen thousand cameras on the
morning skate just to see how many SIPs of the
water bottle Brad Marshan takes.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's investigative journalism, all right?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
So which of these is better? I'll go first. I'm
gonna go I love the first one. That is great.
They needed some profanity. That is gold, That is absolute gold.
What about you, Eddie, you're the hockey game?
Speaker 6 (30:55):
Absolutely the first one.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
The second one was pretty good though, right eighteen thousand
cameras on the morning skate to see how many SIPs
of water Brad Marshan takes.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's funny, Loreno. One or two? Which one did you
like better?
Speaker 7 (31:07):
Learne, I'm gonna have to go with the first one.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
To Ben oh that you know that's number talk.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
But isn't that a great drop because we can use
that in any context, like inevitably the Dodgers will be
in the playoffs and you know, somebody's gonna rather than
puke all over the mound and Dave Roberts will do nothing,
And then we can say, hey, what should Dave Roberts
have done? And they needed a pep? You need needed
some profanity. You know we can we can play it
around with Cooper twenty did you like better?
Speaker 7 (31:39):
I only heard the second one. Coop was not listening,
how listen?
Speaker 1 (31:43):
He was on my chicken run you left, go get chicken.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
All right, Coop does not get to play the game,
but let's see what we get. Let me know when
that's a drop in the system here, hopefully like in
a few minutes, and then we can have some fun
with it and we'll even let callers play the game.
So well, we'll have that. But that's that's the first SoundBite.
They needed some profanity. That's a great drop.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
We'll add that. We'll add that as a drop and
it'll be amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
It'll change your life in magical ways and you'll be
so happy that we have that to add to all
of our little drops that we use on the show.
It's very important, very important that we do that, absolutely absolutely.
