Speaker 1 (00:00):
A midtown meltdown. Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Benmathers Show.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
We are in the air everywhere like roommates as we
are out on the campaign trail, coast to coast, border
the border and beyond.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
On the mast and.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Impeccably powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the stop,
the truck stop of sports talk. We're broadcasting live from

Salsa's dancing to that ten thousand number. Tireraq dot com
the way tire buying should be. Salsa a show contributor
who calls in randomly on his way to the airport
because he works for the airlines. That's how that works.
But are lead this hour coming from above Penn Station,
the belly of the concrete beast, Midtown Manhattan, the Mecca.
(01:10):
So it's called Game seven. Game seven Pacers and the Knicks.
It's the Knicks versus the Hicks. Ay date in the
Eastern final four on the line, and this was the
early game. Some thought it would be the late game.
Get that New York audience their primetime on a Sunday night.
But no, it was the afternoon game. And if you
(01:31):
didn't watch, don't worry. We watched for you. Why not,
we have nothing else to do on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
So Tyrese Halliburton, Pritt Deep, Pritt de good, Tyrese Saliburton
twenty six points and the Pacers said an NBA playoff record,
they shot the lights out, literally sixty seven percent from
(01:54):
the floor, and they were better than that. While the
game was in the balance, it really was never in
the balance, as they beat the Knickerbockers the final score
one thirty to one hundred and nine. They put up
one hundred and thirty points as the road team, a
team that traveled by horse drawn carriage, would peer the
way they had played on the road. But they've advanced
(02:15):
out of the Eastern Finals a date with Boston, first
time in ten years that the Indiana basketball team has advanced.
How about that last time they were in the conference finals,
they had a player named Lance Stevenson who blew into
the ear of Lebron.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
James if I remember correctly. The better story.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Though here is in the losing locker room, and we
will wallow in the mire with Jalen Brunson, who left
Game seven in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Oh my aching hand.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He broke his hand. His right hand, left hand, left hand,
he broke his left hand. So let us discuss the
question when you look at this wide angle lens, does
this count as a Knickerbocker choke job? Or do do
the Knicks get a pass because Jalen Brunson was injured.
So I've got New York City health code, barcode, and
(03:12):
Kellogg's and we will combine all of these things together
and we are going to make a ghost runner, which
you only get there in baseball, because if you see
a ghost runner outside of baseball, you probably panicking and say,
oh my god, I should call over to Coast to
Coast because there's a there's a weird alien thing, ghost
thing like running around any.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
So number one.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
To answer the question, does this count as a Knickerbocker
choke job or do they get a pass because Jalen
Brunton's injury. We don't give out passes here. We do
not give out passes. I don't know if you're new
to the show. We're not the type of show that
gives out passes.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
This is black and white. We love the tenacity of
Jalen Brunson, and I've waxed poetic, I have massaged him,
given a the manny and the petty on the show
about the way Jalen Brunson plays. However, you also have
to call a spade a spade, and he went from
dog to arf dog dog with fleas here he needed
(04:15):
a flea bat. Jalen Brunson in this game brunts in
six of seventeen from the floor, which I don't think
is that good if he takes seventeen shots and miss
eleven of them and he was out played by the
player he was going against, Tyrese Haliburton, who had the
marvelous real sexy stat line there for Indiana, the entire
nick roster went kerffloey, all of it, from top to bottom,
(04:40):
from A to Z, alpha to Omega. All that Indiana
was really playing was house money here. They were underdogs.
They hadn't been able to play well on the road,
all this stuff, and they were expected to lose. It
was going to be a coronation of the Knickerbockers and
all he had to do was all the Knicks had
to do was showp and showed up and then what happened.
(05:02):
Indiana had little pressure and the Knicks were surrounded by
a who's who of elites, all the Manhattan celebrities who
got their free tickets to sit courtside of the garden
to make it seem more important than it is, the
one percenters.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
In New York. And they were there.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
The Knicks, they were da dead on arrival cause of
death tight took his syndrome. That was the cause of
death on the autopsy report. This game was for all
the marbles, and they choked on one of the marbles.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
That's what happened. That's what happened there.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And they really what happened the Knicks and people goes said, well,
Brunson got her, you know, you hear they would have won,
would have could have showed and they were gonna come back. No,
the Knickerbockers violated the New York City Health Code Section
one five to three point nine public urination. They pittled
down their leg That's what they did there. It's an
unclassified misdemeanor against the next Jalen. Brunson also said in
(05:59):
his postgame commentary, he said that the next season was
not a success.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
He said, if fact, just to prove I'm not making
that up, let's go do a cut. Three.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
There's Jalen Brunson pointing out the Knickerbocker season was not successful.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Pros and cons are how I played.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
The pros is obviously I played well individually at some
points in time during the playoffs, and the cons or
that I didn't play well enough to help my team.
Before you can say I got hurt in Game seven,
I wasn't playing well. In Game seven. We had a
two to zero in the future lead, and so it's
just it's hard to look at things individually when you
(06:34):
don't help your team.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
All right, that's actually not the one I wanted. Do
we have the right one? Do we have that? By chance?
Possibly we do? Okay, let's see we can find the
right one.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Here we go TV win the championship? Did we get close?
So now that's just that's my mindset. That's just how
it is.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay, So that's the one we were looking for. Jalen Bronson,
There you go. He says the next season was not
a success. Do you agree? Yes, I'm nodding my head. Yes,
I do agree, And how could it have been a SIXSS?
They didn't even make the final four. The baseline is
the final four. Now you make the final four. He said, Okay,
(07:14):
I'm doing Okay, we're in the right direction. We're going
in the right direction. But you get blown out your pants,
ripped off, public humiliation at home in game seven and
you played madador defense.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Olay olayo, olayole there.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Indiana shot seventy one point seven percent when Brunson left
the game up until that point Bruston left with an.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Injury with the hand injury.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
But at that point he left the game, the Pacers
were shooting seventy one point seven percent from the floor and.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Indiana was up by eighteens.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
But we're supposed to say, well, if only Brunson hadn't
gotten hurt the next we're going to come back.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And win the game. Yeah, that's the ticket, unless it's not.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Now page two here some people up in arms because
of some postgame Shenanigan was by the star of the
Indiana basketball team. Did the Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton crossed
the line in the sand? Did he cross the line
in the sand by taunting the Knickerbockers in the postgame
war drowb we wore a Reggie Miller choke sweater and
(08:18):
the famous if you're old, you remember this back in
the nineties when the Pacers had good teams and they
played the Knickerbockers and Reggie Miller, we go like this,
Joe good to the Knicks anyway. So the answer to
that is absolutely not okay. And the difference here we
talked earlier in the show about what happened in Minnesota
(08:39):
and Anthony Edwards, who was a total stiff most of
the game for Minnesota, was waving goodbye to the Nuggets
fans on a night he.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Played terribly well.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Tyrese Haliburton, though he was monster mashing for Indiana.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
It's like, have you monster mash? You got it done.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
You outplayed the Knick star Jalen Brunson, good law, you
do what you want. I had no issue with that
at all, show business. That was entertaining. And Haliburton going
back that famous quote from a senator to named William L.
Marcy back in the eighteen hundreds who said, to the
(09:16):
victor goes the spoil. And Indiana won the game and
they were all excited, right, they didn't puke. They thought
they were gonna puke. Everyone thought they were gonna pee.
They didn't puke.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
There was no puke, and so they celebrated with a
nice sweater. Now, I will tell.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
You the only part of this that I would say, well,
that's kind of bugeyzy is if Indiana had gone out
there and the outcome had been different. Do you think
that Tyrese Haliburton had some other clothes to wear other
than that?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Me thinks he did.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Methinks he brought a couple of other pieces of clothing
to wear a postgame, and that we would not have
seen that Reggie Miller photo on the hoodie that he.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Was wearing after the game. We would not have seen that.
But what do I know? I would have been in
mock balls.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
And then what did you make of the Bristol, Connecticut
coverage there of the Knickerboxers.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
One of our listeners in Indiana got all episodes.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Did you just see what they did? They were like
watching the Knick TV broadcast. I did not watch the
pregame show. I saw some clips online. I don't really
watch ESPN at halftime or pregame or postgame because they're
bad and my time is valuable and I.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Don't want to be bored, so I just don't. I
don't do anything for me.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm not that content doesn't do anything for me, so fine,
but others did. And I watched the clips online. It
was fanboy like I would. I would describe it as
fanboy like, right, Spike Lee isn't as biased as the
broadcast was towards the Knickerbockers. And it always blows me
away because the Knicks. You think about teams that get
(10:54):
a lot of coverg like that, like everyone sucks the
toes of the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
And it goes on and on like that.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
But the Knicks haven't had a championship team since before
the Barcode was invented.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Think about that, the Barcode.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
The Barcode was invented after the Knicks won their last
championship with walk Clyde Fraser, and yet they were being
fonned and slabbered all over. Slapper slaughter, slaughter, Oh man,
they were all over, which also made the inevitable choke
all that much more enjoyed.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Final points.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So dude, Tyrese Halliburton and the Pacers have a shot
against the Celtics. They have a shot in the Eastern
Conference files. So I would classify this in the slim
to none category. These slim to none category for Indiana.
You're talking about slaying the dragon. And yet again things
have opened up for the Boston Celtics that you look
(11:50):
series by series here and everything lining up for the Celtics.
And this is another one of those David versus Goliath
and the Celtics of the Goliath. In this particular matchup.
You've got Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. The only scenario
where Indiana can come through here is if Jalen If
Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum get together, they have breakfast,
(12:13):
they have the Kellogg's rice crispies and snap crackle pop
happens outside of that, rightide, even with Prezingi's hobbling and
on a pogo stick, even with that, as the adage goes,
the age, all that adage goes, You're only a few sprained
ankles and broken hands away from upset city.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
But would I bet on Indiana?
Speaker 5 (12:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Could they win a game? Sure? Could they win two games? Yeah,
they can win two. Are they gonna win three game?
Speaker 4 (12:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
They shouldn't win three and not even forget forget about four,
forget about it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (12:47):

Dan Cameron says, if the Pacers win the finals, will

Speaker 1 (15:08):
Well if it's a banana cream pie, but I would
want to eat the banana cream pie.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
I don't know that I would want to waste the
banana cream pie, but I would. What would make Kevin though?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
If I'm going to do that, what happens if the
Pacers don't end up winning the finals?
Speaker 9 (15:21):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Cam? What are you going to do?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's just why is it only I that have to
take the pie to the face? But yeah, I would
do that. So I pay off all my bets. I've
been here for a long time, and when somebody makes
a wager with me, I pay my bets off.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
That's how it works. And so yes, I would absolutely
do it.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Wrong.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I know I did not have the banana cream pie
from Costco over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
I did not have that.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Eugene in Chicago says, all right, Malard who chokes more
in the playoffs? The Dallas Cowboys or the New York Knickerbockers.
It's been a long time since.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Either made it. To the final game.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Well, football is more important than basketball, so you got
to go with the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Art Puffin says, Hey, malar, it's my birthday today, all
day and night. I'd like to take the malor oath.
He says, well, Art, listen, you can call up and
do the oath. But we do not do shout outs,
so I cannot wish you a happy birthday. I'm sorry,
we just don't operate that way. That is the reality
of the show.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
King Rory says.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
The Pacers head coach complained about the officiating and question
how how is a small market team supposed to win?
Even though Milwaukee, the smallest market, won the finals three
years ago, the Pacers win four of the next five games. Coincidence,
I think not, says King Rory, sounding alarm bells. Let's
go to the phones and one of our favorites. She's

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Yeah, yeah, they choked by not playing any defense. You

playoff game unless the other team is not playing any defense.

It's impossible.

It's actually people that think that's good Eddie. Who are
the losers like this is ridiculous?
Speaker 9 (23:06):
No, it's good.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
No, it's not really. I disagree that Matt the Warrior, Raider,
Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Rose Guy, big big supporter of that commentary, and mister
nice guy who's not nice at all. Mister nice guy,
fake name, not nice. I don't know about Moster Denis.

rendition of Autumn Wind as a raider?
Speaker 3 (23:37):
Autumn Wind is for.
Speaker 9 (23:38):
Jim Otto, who passed away at the age of eighty six,
fifteen years as the center Double Alway for the Oakland Raiders. Yes,
double zero playing the role of center. They called him
the original Raider.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
The greatness of Little Radiars back when they were great,
not now, not great now, but they were great at
one point there.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
Jim Howell was Jim.
Speaker 9 (24:00):
He was eighty six.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
It's a pretty good run. Probably wanted eighty. Yeah, we
take it right now, right, eighty give us eighty six.
We're good on that, right.
Speaker 9 (24:08):
It was also kicking for the Raiders over his fifteen
year career.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
That's back when men were men.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Remember that the lou Rosa with the toe, Yeah, the toe,
Louke Rosa.
Speaker 9 (24:19):
Two and straight regular season games, Yeah, twelve sign Pro Bowler,
first team All Pro ten times, not that Hall of Famer.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
That's sad, Eddie. We need fun is what we need.
That's what we need. A fun fact. Perhaps I was
looking at lorraino, but she was not looking at me.
So fun fact. Lorraine is distracted. She's upset.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
There was a long line at the taco bell and
she did not get her talking there.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
That actually is true, but I'm looking down.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I bought cheese.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Crackers from the vending machine over here, right.
Speaker 9 (24:51):
Oh what a it's suitable replacement on.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
It, but not really.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But it says toast chi.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
It doesn't say cheese. It says toast because there's not.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Actually she's in there, so legally you can't put cheese
on there if there's no cheese.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I apologize for my lack of icon.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
How many ingredients are in that forty to fifty ingredients
to make the fake cheese?
Speaker 9 (25:13):
Well that the stuff has to stay good for a
long time.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I can't even make it to the cheese. And it
says yellow actually expired in twenty yellow corn syrup. Yeah,
all right.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I have a fun fact that Denver Nuggets played twelve
games this season regular season in playoffs where they scored
less than one hundred points. What do you think their
record was in those games? How about oh and twelve?
The Denver Nuggets raining champions the NBA did not win
a single game, not a single game where they scored
(25:45):
less than one hundred points, and they were all and
six against Minnesota. The Timberwolves held them to under one
hundred points six times, including the playoffs.

(31:49):
on NFL money Grab two point zero. We have learned
over the weekend that a Monday night football game will
not be on regular ESPN. It will only be on
the payes Ben Plus. So if you don't buy that,
you're gonna have to buy it if you want to
watch it. I don't know which game yet, I don't
think they've announced which game, but that means you gotta
get the the NBC streaming you to get that, get
(32:10):
the ESPN streaming and what other stream while you've got
the Netflix because they've got a game, and Amazon, so
one two, that's four streaming services. You have to have
to watch all all the NFL unless you go to
the dark Web, which you should not do. You should
not go to the Russian websites. That's bad, you shouldn't
do that.
Speaker 6 (32:28):

And here is the instant tribute with Mallard of the
third Degree on deck. We'll go to football training camps
opening up in a couple of months. Blank was the
first quarterback to have three straight games with four hundred
plus passing yards in NFL history. That is the question,
What is the answer? Robin Vegas going with Hacksaw Jim
Duggett as his answer. The immortal wrestling legend Augustus Cole
(33:35):
Train from King Rory Chuck Norris tossed out by Alf
the Alien Opiner Page Dan. Nathan Peterman guests by Mark
the Walker, he's out walking around Rochester. Who else we
have radio legend don Imus guessed by Shane of des Moines.
Jake Cutler from Robin, Minnesota. Solomon Grundy from Greg the
(33:57):
real estate mogul in Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Who else we have?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Paige Down page down? I can't read that. JD in
Boston says, is it PGA Champion? Scottie Scheffler Whiskey Wade
Wilson from a Reek in Minnesota? Page down, Joe Pisarcik
from I forty Ian Stretch Armstrong a legend of the
(34:23):
nineteen seventies from Trucker Joe gotta have a fall guy,
Gotta have a fall guy, Dan Marino from Johnny Q.
That's his answer, mister Hankey the Christmas Pooh from mad Jack, Paige,
Don and Page.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
I think that's it up, Eddie. Do you have an answer, Eddie? Please?
Speaker 9 (34:39):
Yes? It's former Mommy Dolphin's legendary backup quarterback Don Strock on.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Strock that's incorrected.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
How about Fitzmagic Ryan Fitzpatrick back way back in twenty eighteen,
that was barely alive then Ryan Fitzpatrick with the old Buccaneers.
Speaker 10 (34:59):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Oh it's mallar. How about that?
Speaker 6 (35:03):
To the third degree, this is one big vent gets grilled.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I think he's wearing a Bronco hat, but it's dark
in the other room and I can't still. Okay, all right,
what do we have here? Kooplu I'm wearing my Bucky's hat.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I get my buckets. Saw that. Yeah.
Speaker 12 (35:17):
Over the weekend, Shams reported that Lebron James leaving the
Lakers to go wherever Bronnie James is drafted is not
a given. Are you buying that?
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Well, this seems like you might cut out there, But
am I buying it?
Speaker 4 (35:29):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
It sounds to me like Lebron has given the Lakers
and a bunch of ultimatums like a ransom note. He
wants JJ Reddick to be the head coach, and he
wants some other moves made otherwise he's gone. But Lebron
has said for years it's been an open secret he
wants to play with Bronnie James. Why wouldn't he, right,
father son combination? Why would you not want to have
(35:51):
that happen? But the location has to work. If the
Utah Jazz draft Brownie James, That'd be very difficult to
see Lebron going to Salt Lake.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
But is it? Is it a done deal? No, but
it's close to being a dune deal.
Speaker 12 (36:02):
Next, Carlos Correa spoke Friday after the Twins were burned
by several borderline calls, and he made a suggestion to
help umpires. He said pitchers are just too nasty these
days and it would help if the ums had access
to the PitchCom Do you agree, Well, you know my
default position coup on on Carlos coore a human scum
cheating a hole.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
He's wrong, and Major League Baseball is committed to one
thing and one thing only, robot umpires. It's gonna happen
whether it's twenty twenty five or twenty twenty six, so
there's no need to bother Futson around. I love the
umpires to know where the PitchCom is and all that stuff.
Now they're worried about robots taking over, and I'm a
human element guy, So I'm human element that's going away.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
Screw the humans.
Speaker 12 (36:45):
Next, The Sun's GM James Jones said during a radio
interview over the weekend that there is no scenario where
they trade any of the Big three this offseason.
Speaker 9 (36:53):
Do you believe him?
Speaker 3 (36:54):
No, he's a GM ME.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Of course these people lie. And Bradley I will say,
Bradley Beal, you can't trade that outbatross. Now they're stuck
with Bradley Beal. He's not going anywhere. But Kevin Durant
could wake up later today and and have bad eggs
and the bacon's not cooked properly and say.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
Man, I want out of here, I want to go
to Canada and I'm done and whatever. All right, how
do we do koboloo? He passes. That is a I
wanted to start the week. I have more wings all
time than anyone at this game. I'm the winds king,
I'm mallord.
