Three major story from Major League Baseball. We're not even

win the National League. They're taking on water right now.
What does the season ending injury do for Ronald Lacuna Junior?
And where does it leave the Braves as they've lost
to Kuna Junior for the rest of the year. And
(00:33):
is Dodger Stars show Hail Tani's wonky hamstring cause for concern?
We'll talk about that, and the Mets made the decision
to stick with Edwin Diaz.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
That is blank. We'll answer all those questions and.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
More right now here it is our number three.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Turns out that.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Band aids actually do not fix scars.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Well God.

at June first, but normally Memorial Day is an opportunity
(02:11):
to look at where you are. Do you have a
realistic chance, Are you a real contender? Are you a
foe contender? And while we will do that conversation, we
will have that conversation together, you and I will have
that conversation in.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
A future episode of the show.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
As we are at that Memorial Day weekend, when we
look at those kind of things, there.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Is no no way.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
To say that this is a good thing. Because we
have a developing story out of the atl Inn ENVP
has come up.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Lame hobbling, hobble, hobble hobble.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Now, if you didn't hear about this over the weekend
because you were doing other.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Things, I got it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
I'll help you, perhaps you missed it. Atlanta Braves are
Ronald Alcuno Junior, the reigning National League MVP, is going
to miss the rest of the season as he tore
up his anterior cruciate ligament. The ACL and his left knee.
Happened on Sunday in the Burgh in Pittsburgh. You're nationally
(03:16):
MVP let off a game with a double or right
center field, and then right after that he was trying
to steal third and his left knee buckled and warped.
It gave out right there, and Kuno Junior remained down
for several minutes. The training staff hobbled out from the
Atlanta Dog Out. They were checking him out there. He
(03:37):
was being treated by the medical people. The manager was there.
They were pointing in his left leg and he walked
off under his own power. So initially the diagnosis was, ah,
just he's got a swordindy, that nothing stinty. You know,
He's gotta be like our guy, Ronald just rubbed some
dirt on it and that's it. Well, the Braves diagnosis
of left knee it was a sore left knee, but
(04:00):
to a few hours later the team announced it is
the ultimate kind of a sort knee. The MRI showed
a not partial, a complete acl tear snap, crackle, pop,
just like that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
See you later.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It going to require season ending surgery, season ending surgery.
So let us discuss the question what does this injury
do for Ronald Lacuno Junior and where does it leave
the Braves. So I've got pitchman, lifestyle choices and sleep number,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(04:38):
we are going to make crunchy tacos, the perfect taco,
the crunchy taco.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So, first of all, this is obviously a punch in
the solar plexus for the Atlanta baseball team which has underperformed,
underperformed in comparison to how Philadelphia has played, and when
you look at it in terms of star value, this
is a good afternoon, good evening, and good night situation
for the Braves. Also, this is a Peanuts character. It's
(05:08):
Rerun Van Pelt. We have seen this before. For all
of his superpowers, for all of his abilities on the
field to break records and marks that we have not
seen broken, accomplishments that we have not seen in baseball,
Ronald Lacuna Junior, what he needs is help from dungeons
and dragons. The Braves have to find the cloak of
protection because whatever he's using is not working. And while
(05:32):
he is sitting out the rest of the season, all
of June, July, August, September, October, and however far the
Braves go after that, Now Akuna has time to be
the pitchman for Kellogg's Rice Chrispies.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He can do the commercial snap.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Crackle Pop goes to Bravo Star Acuna Junior. He now
has a matching set of mangled acls. Congratulations. Back in
twenty twenty one, he tore his right. The last time
that this happened to the Braves, they went out and
they won the World Series. They won the World Series,
(06:08):
and now it is up to the front office to
go out and find someone, anyone and put them in.
I will tell you, while the Atlanta Braves are not
as good as the Phillies, they're still right there. All
you have to do is get in the playoffs and
that's all that matters. But it's not like Ronald Lacune
Junior was having another stellar season.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He was.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He's hitting two fifty for the Braves. He was on pace.
I love the on pace thing. But he was projected
hit thirteen home runs this year and driving forty nine runs,
and he plays every day, so he had not been
the supernova this year.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That he had been in the past.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
He was tied for one hundred and fiftieth in home
runs at the time he got hurt one hundred and
fiftieth plus and runs batted in and the ops, which
is the almighty nerd stat A lot of the older
nerds use that was one hundred and first in baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So he's not even a top one hundred player.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And the Braves are six games back of the Phillies
in the National League East. So what I'm saying is, well,
he's a dynamic player and he's great to watch and
all that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The idea that the.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Braves battleship is sunk because he's out.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I don't buy that. I don't buy that. And they
will make a move.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Between now and the trade deadline, and I still have nightmares.
I know Tommy in Atlanta, who came to the Mall
of Meat Greed listens with the Evil and Evil Bosses
will not allow him to call a show anymore as
he drives his truck around Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But I don't know this came up in our conversation.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I've mentioned in a bunch I mean the Brave When
the Braves lost Ronald Acute Junior, I was at the
NLCS against the Dodgers and they picked up the modern
day Pete Rose. For a couple of weeks in October,
Eddie Rosario was Pete Rose. He betted five to sixty
seven against the Dodgers in the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That doesn't say and as I.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Mentioned earlier in the show, he is available again if
the Braves want to go down memory lane. Eddie Rosario
can be yours for a bag of potato chips. He's
batting one to seventy seven. Does not have that natitude
in DC. I'm pretty sure the Nationals, considering their five
games under five hundred, would be more than happy to
(08:16):
trade Eddie Rosario to the Atlanta Braves for a marginal
suspect to be named later.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Now, moving on from that to La La Land.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We go, well, actually Cincinnati, where the Red Legs completed
the sweet sweep of the Boys in Blue, that big
Blue wrecking crew choking on the skyline Chilli over the weekend.
La Now on the longest losing streak they've had since
way back in twenty nineteen, pre pandemic, pre pandemic twenty nineteen,
(08:46):
barely remember twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Five years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Dodgers have dropped five straight, not one, not two, not
three and a four, five straight games.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The Doyers have dropped and don't bury the lead. Oh man,
all right, we're not going to be lead.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Well, this is not as big a deal as the
Braves losing Ronaldacuno Junior for the season. Nonetheless, it should
be pointed out that show Hey O'tani dinged up now.
He had three hits and twelve at bats in the
series against the Cincinnati Reds. He's got a bum hamstring.
It hasn't popped yet. Bruised hamstring. Dave Roberts, I liked
(09:26):
him in that spot. Dave Roberts said the hammy is
about ninety percent, and he said that assuming.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It will keep getting better.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Roberts said, I feel confident that he can play smart
and not push it, meaning don't actually try to steal bases,
be aggressive things like that. So is Dodgers star sho
Hey Otani and his wonky hamstring cause for concern? So
I will beat Benny Bright side, I would be the
voice of reason. I am going to go know, And
the main reason I'm going to know, go know is
(09:58):
because shoe Haltani. I don't know if you know this,
he's not really playing baseball the way baseball was designed
to be played.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
He's playing a hybrid version.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Of baseball, and the kind of version of baseball that
you can play when you're not one hundred percent. Getting
dinged up is part of sport, I think. I think
it's part of sport.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Where I come from.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And Otani is a one trick pony at this point
right recovering from the Tommy John surgery. So he's not pitching.
He's doing not the bare necessities. He's doing the bare minimum.
You talk about lifestyle choices in baseball, what shoey Otani
is doing is living a sedentary life as a baseball player.
He doesn't play defense. He goes up and pinch hits
(10:43):
four or five times a day. That's what the designated
hitter position does. You don't have to worry about that.
You go up there, If you hit the ball, you
have to run a little bit, but that's it. You know,
if you make contact, it's time to run. If you
can't stay healthy doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Right, that's the easiest job in all sports, designated hitter.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's half a job, and that's.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
The job he's got, all right. Final thought, We heading
now to Gotham. We pivot where the Metropolitans are sticking
up the joint. But they are sticking by their stinky closer,
Edwin Diaz, despite his high level of suckage this season.
Now Diaz over the weekend blew is force save opportunity.
(11:26):
Despite this, it does not for now appear, at least
based on the words of the Mets brass, the Diaz
will be out of the Mets bullpen as the closer.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
They already took him out for like a week, but
they said they put him back.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
According to someone named Carlos Mendoza, who I'm told is
the manager of the Mets, not for long. He said, quote,
he's our closer, meaning Edwin Diaz, in order for us
to win games and get to where we want to
get to. He's got the pitch. And I felt like
that was a in the right spot. Oh, it's like
(12:00):
at Dave Roberts quote. I liked him in that spot.
So the Mets brass deciding to stick with Edwin Diaz
is blank. So I have a sleep number bend hybrid
the setting not one hundred, not zero. How about nails
as in Lennydikster like a bend of nails, a bed
(12:23):
of nails for the Mets. Because the Mets broke the bank,
they bet on the wrong horse. Edwin Diaz had a
career year. You don't pay guys after a career year.
You wait until they do it again and prove some vindication.
And while it has worked for another New York team,
there's a guard named Jalen Brunson who had a career
breakthrough season with Dallas, and the Knickerbockers signed him and
(12:47):
it's worked out well. Edwin Diaz as a Met, had
a career year and then he needed diapers. One hundred
million dollar contract, biggest ever for a relief pitcher per year,
twenty million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He's got the.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Cute little intro song Timmy Trumpet, and he's also in
need of oxygen because he can't even blow into the
Timmy Trumpet song and all that because there's not enough
oxygen in his lungs at this particular point the way
he has performed. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

Angels this year are like a halfway house that they're
just bringing anyone in and who had any level of
success back in the day, hoping they catch lightning in
the bottle proverbial bottle there in Anaheim, And based on
their record, it does not appear they've found a lot
of lightning in the bottle. Does not appear that the

big numbers.

You guys are awesome. I just wanted to ask you,
being the famous, you know, radio person that you are.
You know, have you heard of like other stations like
the There's this famous station out here in California. It's
called one oh seven seven the Bone. It's this big
rock station and they have these guys called the Montinelli
that have been around forever. I was curious, have you
(24:18):
ever heard of those guys or heard of that station?
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Now?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Do you do?
Speaker 6 (24:22):
You?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Do you like win something if you if you say
their name on our show, like they give you something.
Speaker 9 (24:28):
One of those they've been around the Bay Area for
like thirty five years. They're kind of like these the
legend guys. And I figured that you're a legend. I
just figured that maybe legend of legend, maybe you'd heard
of them or something, and I didn't figure that you would,
but I just wanted to.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You know, I'm sure I don't know much about them,
but if you you love them, if they've been an institution,
good for them. It's tough to make it and last
and have staying power and all that. But yeah, I
know there's very I know a lot of the radio,
like the sports radio guys I'm familiar with because of
the business.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
But yeah, these guys are mourning.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Yeah, these guys are morning guys.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Are they a crazy morning zoo guy?
Speaker 9 (25:02):
Yeah, there is Moji morning guys. They prank and do
all this kind of stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
So good.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
But yeah, man, I just figured i'd ask you because
you know, you're a legendary person yourself, and you know,
and and I.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Feel terrible, but I'm sure they don't know who I
am either, so we have that in kind they.
Speaker 9 (25:15):
Might they might. Man, you're you're pretty, You're pretty, You're
you're you're a wide reaching in the world. Dude, like
you've been around.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I look at Mojo, you're pumping up my ego. Mojo,
I need you as a Benett.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
I love this. Mojo.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
Mojo is rising on my big board of callers. Mojo
is a rising, Yes, Mojo, Hey.
Speaker 9 (25:32):
And I'm a poet and a prophet just like the
real Jim Morrison. So I got a little something for you.
You know, you stay up late, you call into the
Ben Mallor show. I'd tell everybody to listen now that
I know it will always take you high and never
you leave you feeling low.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
Man, love you guys, man, I love it. That's great,
Thank you for that. Mojo rises, got a little poetry.
What a call? That's good. That's a good call. Yeah,
that was good man, he told me.
Speaker 6 (25:53):
I was.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
He was like this my second time calling. I was
not expecting that. Yeah, all right, Mojo, he's moving on up.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You know, every once in a while we find we
find the next big thing.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Is Mojo rising? Is that kind of call.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I don't think he can win Caller of the Year
because he's too nice and the people that vote are
douchebags and they don't like when people are nice to me.
So I think it's gonna be very difficult for that
type of call to win. But he could win another
Benny he's got to have staying power though. And then
we had a guy from Rhode Island that called the
show who was a well, we had a couple of
guys from Rhode. All of a sudden, we like, for
(26:26):
like six months, we had two Rhode Island guys that
would call the show. We had the guy from the casino,
Redbreast Paul, and then we had another guy who was
really good, but then he didn't have staying power and
he would call up and the guys at Bum, the
guys at Bum.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
And then he got a fader away and that was it.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Ben, real quick, I got ye one of our assistant
producers here fi I've heard. She told me that you
guys have something called a Mallard militia. Like to become
to be in the Mallard Militia, you have to say
a certain well, you have.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
To be sworn in. You have to be sworn there's
an oath.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
There was a guy named still Is Skeeter in Montana
who did some time in the service. And Skeeter called
up and said he wanted to be part of the
Malad militia and he wanted to be sworn in.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And we said, well, there's really no oath, and he.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wanted one, and so we made one. We have a
Mallard Militia oath that you can be sworn in at
and be part of the officially a member of the
Mallam Militia.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
So you just weren't going to let me know about that. Well,
I mean, you're you're working at the company here, so I.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
If somebody wants to be sworn in, I mean, if
you want to call up, I can swear you in
if you want, but I can only do that if
you're one was sworn in. Well, she was sworn in,
but that was before she worked at the company. You're
right now she is part of the So is she
sworn out radio team?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No, no, no, she's And the thing about Brie is she she? Well,
I should put all right, here's the thing about Britt.
She was put on the spot by some punks who
supportass and and she okay, I'm at.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
The we're not quite at war yet, we're not quite
at warriate, but it's one point out, all right that
this this hostility things are being ratcheted up between me
and Vesside, the guy host the Dodgers post games.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So she was asked by one Ofassay's toadies.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Whether or not she supported me or or him, and
turns out she picked them all the militia.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So major major cooties major or not cooties are the
right word, kudos, I don't think. I think cooties is
the opposite. Kudos is what you want? Yeah, boy, that's
a that's a bad job by me. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
On that note, let's get over to Eddie. We have
these advice line a little bit. We'll take some more
calls until then, but here's Eddie to get you caught.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Up on everything going on in the overnight. No cooties, Eddie, Kudos.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
There used to be a like a granola bar named Kudos.
Remember that, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
It was if I remember correctly, it was like a
granola bar.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
But it was really just like a bar. They just
said was a granola bar. But I might be imagining
that in my head.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Right.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Let's start. Let's start with the NBA Game three of
the Western Conference Finals and the Mavericks do it again
to the Timberwolves one sixteen to one oh seven, Dallas
outscoring Minnesota fourteen to three in the final five minutes
to get that win. Luka Dancic and Kyrie Irving each
thirty three points in the win for the MAVs. For Minnesota,
Anthony Edwards was their high score with twenty six points.
Karl Anthony Towns just fourteen points on five of eighteen
(29:28):
from the fields of Dallas. Leads a series three games
to nothing. They can close it out in a sweep
in Game four in Dallas on Tuesday. No teams ever
come back from down three games nothing in the NBA
playoffs to win a series, And with that in mind,
coming up tonight, we have Game four the Eastern Conference
Finals in Indiana. Pacers are in action as they will
be hosting who are they hosting? The hosting the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, and that'd be amazing if they didn't play the Celtics. Yeah,
Now that would be a story if they, like somehow
like the Sixers came in there to play the game,
that would be why.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Might give him a better chance though, because the Celtics,
also with a three to zero series, evasually gonna close
it out with they sweep tonight on the road. NHL
Game three Eastern Conference Finals, the Rangers down the Panthers
in Florida five to four, in overtime, alex Weinberg deflex
in the game winner and sudden death For New York,
Alexis Lavinier and Barkley Gudro each had a pair of
goals as well. Rangers grab a two to one lead
in the series. Game four coming up Tuesday again in Florida,
(30:22):
Newson Baseball, where raining NL MVP Ronald Lacuna Junior broke
or broke toward the ACL and his left knee on
Sunday and he will miss the rest of the season.
On the Diamond, he had the Guardians winning their ninth straight,
beating the Angels five to four. That's their third straight
three game series sweep. They're now percentage points up on
the Yankees and the top breaker in the American League
at thirty six and seventeen. Yankees lose to the Padres
(30:45):
five to two, dropping them the thirty seven and eighteen
on the season. Phillyes still have the best record in
the Major leagues, even though they lost the Rockies five
to two. They're at thirty eight and sixteen. Dodgers were
swept by the Reds four one the final on Sunday.
That's five losses in a row for La Orioles meanwhile
sweep the four game series from the White Sox with
a four to one win. It was the Royals losing
to the Rays four to one, Braves over the Pirates
(31:06):
eight one, and the Cardinals get by the Cubs four
to three. Sad story from golf where Grayson Murray, a
thirty year old PG Tour player, committed suicide over the weekend.
He had been competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge at
the Colonial, but withdrew on Friday after sixteen hole siting
in illness. The event did continue and was completed earlier
(31:31):
on Sunday, and Davis Riley ended up winning that event.
Apparently the family of Grayson Murray asked that they not
postponer canceled the event, so they went on with it
for Grayson Murray, two time winner on the PGA Tour.
So obviously sad story there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I see Ben Maler show as we continue on time. Now,
that was not fun, Eddie. This is fun though.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Fun fact time hit that button there, fun fact, fun fact,
fun fact, fun fact, fun fact. Apparently we don't know there.
It is all right, Oh my god, I say fun
fifteen times.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, So story I saw over the weekend claim
back in the day, the Oakland Athletics, that's a baseball
team used to be in Oakland. But they've got one
foot out the door in Sacramento and the other foots
in Vegas.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Pitcher Dallas Braden, who I believe is a commentator for
the Athletics, he used to use as a foreign substance.
He would rub on the baseball. Bong resin, bong resin.
He would rub on the baseball. You get it all sticky,
So put that in your pipe.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And smoke it.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to
Jerome and Charleston. Hello, Jerome, bring it home, Jerome.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Hey, what do you put? What do you put on
your baseballs? As a controls? Then I'd be like, I
like to know that I throw the knuckleball.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I throw the knuckleball, Jerome, So I don't need any
substance on my balls.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
I'll bet you do. I'll bet you knucklebook.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Hey.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
By the way, I just want to warn the basketball America.
Where do you get a load of the Luca Dargitch act?
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Okay, you ain't seeing.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
A crime, baby, can you see a crime.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Oh, you can't say that you're home. You never played
in the NBA. You don't know how tough it is.
You don't know how tough it is.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You're home when the officials make a call, you don't
agree with your home.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Never comme as a foul, and don't touch people when
I got the ball.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Okay, don't got to Luca when you're not qualified. You're
not qualified to goof on him because you never played
in the game.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
You never played pro basketball.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Tells good luck on getting the calls in your building,
because I don't see it happening. You ain't getting the
calls at those two.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Intel Yeah, the Celtics never get any calls. They never
get calls to Celtics.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Like the guy who's who went to Duke for years
is oh the earth is slat. Oh yeah, I know
something slack and it's like right at the top of
your shoulders. Okay, went to your See they're not You
ain't getting the calls. I can't wait till they come
there and they get called out, the call out, the
call and no tecnicos. How long is it gonna take
(34:12):
Joe mn tool to get a technica because they don't
call technicals on Dodger's boy. No matter he flops, he cries,
he throws his arms up, he tows his hands up
the Fenshals. If that was like Rodman or they'd be
tee and him up every two minutes like rodin car.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Jerome, I'm offended by this phone call, Jerome, I'm offended
by can look.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Tideways at an officier and get a tax dodgets He's
got that Kittling Cark kind of order. And by the
way Rockley talking about people criticizing Kaitlin Clark, that sounds
really funny coming from Charles Brockley, who's made millions criticizing people. Okay,
by the way, he lost it all Gamel's range. He's
got to keep working, you know, the pay up as
(34:54):
gambling dance. If he hasn't already done that. Look, I'm
thinking people with this Kittler car, did w anta lost
money for almost thirty years? Okay? Where are all those
people loving the w NBA when they were losing money?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
You'd have to use You'd have to talk to Eddie.
You'd have to talk to Eddie about this girl. Eddie
is the one over.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
There, Oh, Eddie who says to NBA. Soft yeady, you'll
come talk to me.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
How you never you never played in the NBA, So
how do you know Anthy Edwards? Now, just for the record,
he said he was tight twenty two years old. He
was exhausted in game one. Now he's blaming the referees
in game three? What what will his e excuse me
when Minnesota's finally exterminated from the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Let me ask you a question, mister ben Benjamin Maller,
We're just harder to do do a talk show or
play an amba.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I would say, do a talk show is much harder
than playing in the NBA. No, I'll and I'll prove
it to you. There are less people doing overnight sports
talk radio than playing in the NBA. And it's not
even close. There are fewer of these jobs than there
are NBA jobs. So therefore, it is harder to have
one of these jobs and keep one of these jobs
than it is to play in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Do you understand, drewme? Do you understand the.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Math on that there's only a couple of national sports
radio networks in the country, and.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
There's only a few people that have these jobs.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
There are many more of these jobs in the NBA
to play basketball, many more jobs in the NBA.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
Hey, some of those people shouldn't have talked to us
because they are boring.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Well, that's a different conversations. You're home, that's not the conversation.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
They're play of NBA players that are also bad at
their job, but they're in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
So I gotta go. Thank you. I'm hanging up on you.
All right, go away, I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm
sure you'll call tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Why not A blind Scott is on the north end
of Boston. And then we've got to get to the
instant advice line. Hello blind Scott, Hey, I got a
conspiracy theory brand home Jerome.
Speaker 8 (36:53):
He didn't want to meet you when he was in
his town. When you're in his hometown.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
I swear he's Bill Cosby, Like he could be a
head audio voice.
Speaker 8 (37:02):
I like for Bill Cosby. Like next time he calls him,
say set Albert, Hey, one.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Of the we we had, Blind Scott. You remember this guy,
what was the guy's name? La Matt used to call
the show. La Matt was a dead man.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Bill Cosby, that guy, Yeah, he used to yell.
Speaker 8 (37:18):
He would yell when he called and he was drunk
all the time too, that guy. But Hey, I had
a fits on fight, so I got on my vaccines
for this Vegas trip, so I can't wait to go.
I'm just waiting to find out when it is. Hey,
could you check for the next hour. I think the
Rangers in the Panthers game might have beat the ratings
in the in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
That was.
Speaker 8 (37:37):
That was the hell of a Rangers game, and that's
a huge market. They came back.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
The ratings won't be out till tomorrow, so i'll later.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
Later on business guy Connor Clutterbucks. He's from Roll. He's
like the private Loll but he's like the biggest NHL
star now he plays for Edmonton. Elf was talking about
Loll earlier. Man, you don't want to say nothing bad
about Loll Alf. People will come after you for that.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Man.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Don't don't despise Lowell. You know Lows. You've seen that
movie The Fighter. The people of Volde got really now
when that movie came out. You know what I mean,
I like you paid. Alf was trying to say bad

We protect these these Italian Americans in here, and the
last stance is here in the north end and then
involved and you're your mother in law. She's Italian. That's
(38:22):
why she throws all her money away gambling like a
loser because Italian people don't know how to I know
how to do is eat and go on cruises.

to miss the rest of the season as he tore
up his anterior cruciate ligament. The ACL and his left knee.
Happened on Sunday in the Burgh in Pittsburgh. You're nationally
(03:16):
MVP let off a game with a double or right
center field, and then right after that he was trying
to steal third and his left knee buckled and warped.
It gave out right there, and Kuno Junior remained down
for several minutes. The training staff hobbled out from the
Atlanta Dog Out. They were checking him out there. He
(03:37):
was being treated by the medical people. The manager was there.
They were pointing in his left leg and he walked
off under his own power. So initially the diagnosis was, ah,
just he's got a swordindy, that nothing stinty. You know,
He's gotta be like our guy, Ronald just rubbed some
dirt on it and that's it. Well, the Braves diagnosis
of left knee it was a sore left knee, but
(04:00):
to a few hours later the team announced it is
the ultimate kind of a sort knee. The MRI showed
a not partial, a complete acl tear snap, crackle, pop,
just like that.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
See you later.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It going to require season ending surgery, season ending surgery.
So let us discuss the question what does this injury
do for Ronald Lacuno Junior and where does it leave
the Braves. So I've got pitchman, lifestyle choices and sleep number,
and we will combine all of these things together and
(04:38):
we are going to make crunchy tacos, the perfect taco,
the crunchy taco.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
All right.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
So, first of all, this is obviously a punch in
the solar plexus for the Atlanta baseball team which has underperformed,
underperformed in comparison to how Philadelphia has played, and when
you look at it in terms of star value, this
is a good afternoon, good evening, and good night situation
for the Braves. Also, this is a Peanuts character. It's
(05:08):
Rerun Van Pelt. We have seen this before. For all
of his superpowers, for all of his abilities on the
field to break records and marks that we have not
seen broken, accomplishments that we have not seen in baseball,
Ronald Lacuna Junior, what he needs is help from dungeons
and dragons. The Braves have to find the cloak of
protection because whatever he's using is not working. And while
(05:32):
he is sitting out the rest of the season, all
of June, July, August, September, October, and however far the
Braves go after that, Now Akuna has time to be
the pitchman for Kellogg's Rice Chrispies.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
He can do the commercial snap.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Crackle Pop goes to Bravo Star Acuna Junior. He now
has a matching set of mangled acls. Congratulations. Back in
twenty twenty one, he tore his right. The last time
that this happened to the Braves, they went out and
they won the World Series. They won the World Series,
(06:08):
and now it is up to the front office to
go out and find someone, anyone and put them in.
I will tell you, while the Atlanta Braves are not
as good as the Phillies, they're still right there. All
you have to do is get in the playoffs and
that's all that matters. But it's not like Ronald Lacune
Junior was having another stellar season.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
He was.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
He's hitting two fifty for the Braves. He was on pace.
I love the on pace thing. But he was projected
hit thirteen home runs this year and driving forty nine runs,
and he plays every day, so he had not been
the supernova this year.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
That he had been in the past.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
He was tied for one hundred and fiftieth in home
runs at the time he got hurt one hundred and
fiftieth plus and runs batted in and the ops, which
is the almighty nerd stat A lot of the older
nerds use that was one hundred and first in baseball.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
So he's not even a top one hundred player.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
And the Braves are six games back of the Phillies
in the National League East. So what I'm saying is, well,
he's a dynamic player and he's great to watch and
all that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
The idea that the.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Braves battleship is sunk because he's out.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
I don't buy that. I don't buy that. And they
will make a move.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Between now and the trade deadline, and I still have nightmares.
I know Tommy in Atlanta, who came to the Mall
of Meat Greed listens with the Evil and Evil Bosses
will not allow him to call a show anymore as
he drives his truck around Atlanta.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
But I don't know this came up in our conversation.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
I've mentioned in a bunch I mean the Brave When
the Braves lost Ronald Acute Junior, I was at the
NLCS against the Dodgers and they picked up the modern
day Pete Rose. For a couple of weeks in October,
Eddie Rosario was Pete Rose. He betted five to sixty
seven against the Dodgers in the NLCS.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
That doesn't say and as I.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Mentioned earlier in the show, he is available again if
the Braves want to go down memory lane. Eddie Rosario
can be yours for a bag of potato chips. He's
batting one to seventy seven. Does not have that natitude
in DC. I'm pretty sure the Nationals, considering their five
games under five hundred, would be more than happy to
(08:16):
trade Eddie Rosario to the Atlanta Braves for a marginal
suspect to be named later.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Now, moving on from that to La La Land.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
We go, well, actually Cincinnati, where the Red Legs completed
the sweet sweep of the Boys in Blue, that big
Blue wrecking crew choking on the skyline Chilli over the weekend.
La Now on the longest losing streak they've had since
way back in twenty nineteen, pre pandemic, pre pandemic twenty nineteen,
(08:46):
barely remember twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Five years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Dodgers have dropped five straight, not one, not two, not
three and a four, five straight games.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
The Doyers have dropped and don't bury the lead. Oh man,
all right, we're not going to be lead.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Well, this is not as big a deal as the
Braves losing Ronaldacuno Junior for the season. Nonetheless, it should
be pointed out that show Hey O'tani dinged up now.
He had three hits and twelve at bats in the
series against the Cincinnati Reds. He's got a bum hamstring.
It hasn't popped yet. Bruised hamstring. Dave Roberts, I liked
(09:26):
him in that spot. Dave Roberts said the hammy is
about ninety percent, and he said that assuming.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
It will keep getting better.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Roberts said, I feel confident that he can play smart
and not push it, meaning don't actually try to steal bases,
be aggressive things like that. So is Dodgers star sho
Hey Otani and his wonky hamstring cause for concern? So
I will beat Benny Bright side, I would be the
voice of reason. I am going to go know, And
the main reason I'm going to know, go know is
(09:58):
because shoe Haltani. I don't know if you know this,
he's not really playing baseball the way baseball was designed
to be played.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
He's playing a hybrid version.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Of baseball, and the kind of version of baseball that
you can play when you're not one hundred percent. Getting
dinged up is part of sport, I think. I think
it's part of sport.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Where I come from.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
And Otani is a one trick pony at this point
right recovering from the Tommy John surgery. So he's not pitching.
He's doing not the bare necessities. He's doing the bare minimum.
You talk about lifestyle choices in baseball, what shoey Otani
is doing is living a sedentary life as a baseball player.
He doesn't play defense. He goes up and pinch hits
(10:43):
four or five times a day. That's what the designated
hitter position does. You don't have to worry about that.
You go up there, If you hit the ball, you
have to run a little bit, but that's it. You know,
if you make contact, it's time to run. If you
can't stay healthy doing that.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Right, that's the easiest job in all sports, designated hitter.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
It's half a job, and that's.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
The job he's got, all right. Final thought, We heading
now to Gotham. We pivot where the Metropolitans are sticking
up the joint. But they are sticking by their stinky closer,
Edwin Diaz, despite his high level of suckage this season.
Now Diaz over the weekend blew is force save opportunity.
(11:26):
Despite this, it does not for now appear, at least
based on the words of the Mets brass, the Diaz
will be out of the Mets bullpen as the closer.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
They already took him out for like a week, but
they said they put him back.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
According to someone named Carlos Mendoza, who I'm told is
the manager of the Mets, not for long. He said, quote,
he's our closer, meaning Edwin Diaz, in order for us
to win games and get to where we want to
get to. He's got the pitch. And I felt like
that was a in the right spot. Oh, it's like
(12:00):
at Dave Roberts quote. I liked him in that spot.
So the Mets brass deciding to stick with Edwin Diaz
is blank. So I have a sleep number bend hybrid
the setting not one hundred, not zero. How about nails
as in Lennydikster like a bend of nails, a bed
(12:23):
of nails for the Mets. Because the Mets broke the bank,
they bet on the wrong horse. Edwin Diaz had a
career year. You don't pay guys after a career year.
You wait until they do it again and prove some vindication.
And while it has worked for another New York team,
there's a guard named Jalen Brunson who had a career
breakthrough season with Dallas, and the Knickerbockers signed him and
(12:47):
it's worked out well. Edwin Diaz as a Met, had
a career year and then he needed diapers. One hundred
million dollar contract, biggest ever for a relief pitcher per year,
twenty million dollars a year.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
He's got the.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Cute little intro song Timmy Trumpet, and he's also in
need of oxygen because he can't even blow into the
Timmy Trumpet song and all that because there's not enough
oxygen in his lungs at this particular point the way
he has performed. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. If

Angels this year are like a halfway house that they're
just bringing anyone in and who had any level of
success back in the day, hoping they catch lightning in
the bottle proverbial bottle there in Anaheim, And based on
their record, it does not appear they've found a lot
of lightning in the bottle. Does not appear that the
(19:47):
Angels have had much success there this year, finding players
in the in the dumpster and having them put up big,
big numbers.

just figured that maybe legend of legend, maybe you'd heard
of them or something, and I didn't figure that you would,
but I just wanted to.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
You know, I'm sure I don't know much about them,
but if you you love them, if they've been an institution,
good for them. It's tough to make it and last
and have staying power and all that. But yeah, I

like the sports radio guys I'm familiar with because of
the business.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
He was like this my second time calling. I was
not expecting that. Yeah, all right, Mojo, he's moving on up.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You know, every once in a while we find we
find the next big thing.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Is Mojo rising? Is that kind of call.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
I don't think he can win Caller of the Year
because he's too nice and the people that vote are
douchebags and they don't like when people are nice to me.
So I think it's gonna be very difficult for that
type of call to win. But he could win another
Benny he's got to have staying power though. And then
we had a guy from Rhode Island that called the
show who was a well, we had a couple of
guys from Rhode. All of a sudden, we like, for
(26:26):
like six months, we had two Rhode Island guys that
would call the show. We had the guy from the casino,
Redbreast Paul, and then we had another guy who was
really good, but then he didn't have staying power and
he would call up and the guys at Bum, the
guys at Bum.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
And then he got a fader away and that was it.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Ben, real quick, I got ye one of our assistant
producers here fi I've heard. She told me that you
guys have something called a Mallard militia. Like to become
to be in the Mallard Militia, you have to say
a certain well, you have.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
To be sworn in. You have to be sworn there's
an oath.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
There was a guy named still Is Skeeter in Montana
who did some time in the service. And Skeeter called
up and said he wanted to be part of the
Malad militia and he wanted to be sworn in.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And we said, well, there's really no oath, and he.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Wanted one, and so we made one. We have a
Mallard Militia oath that you can be sworn in at
and be part of the officially a member of the
Mallam Militia.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
So you just weren't going to let me know about that. Well,
I mean, you're you're working at the company here, so I.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
If somebody wants to be sworn in, I mean, if
you want to call up, I can swear you in
if you want, but I can only do that if
you're one was sworn in. Well, she was sworn in,
but that was before she worked at the company. You're
right now she is part of the So is she
sworn out radio team?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
No?
Speaker 1 (27:46):
No, no, no, she's And the thing about Brie is she she? Well,
I should put all right, here's the thing about Britt.
She was put on the spot by some punks who
supportass and and she okay, I'm at.
Speaker 10 (28:03):
The we're not quite at war yet, we're not quite
at warriate, but it's one point out, all right that
this this hostility things are being ratcheted up between me
and Vesside, the guy host the Dodgers post games.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
So she was asked by one Ofassay's toadies.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Whether or not she supported me or or him, and
turns out she picked them all the militia.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So major major cooties major or not cooties are the
right word, kudos, I don't think. I think cooties is
the opposite. Kudos is what you want? Yeah, boy, that's
a that's a bad job by me. Anyway.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
On that note, let's get over to Eddie. We have
these advice line a little bit. We'll take some more
calls until then, but here's Eddie to get you caught.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Up on everything going on in the overnight. No cooties, Eddie, Kudos.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
There used to be a like a granola bar named Kudos.
Remember that, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
It was if I remember correctly, it was like a
granola bar.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
But it was really just like a bar. They just
said was a granola bar. But I might be imagining
that in my head.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
Right.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
Let's start. Let's start with the NBA Game three of
the Western Conference Finals and the Mavericks do it again
to the Timberwolves one sixteen to one oh seven, Dallas
outscoring Minnesota fourteen to three in the final five minutes
to get that win. Luka Dancic and Kyrie Irving each
thirty three points in the win for the MAVs. For Minnesota,
Anthony Edwards was their high score with twenty six points.
Karl Anthony Towns just fourteen points on five of eighteen
(29:28):
from the fields of Dallas. Leads a series three games
to nothing. They can close it out in a sweep
in Game four in Dallas on Tuesday. No teams ever
come back from down three games nothing in the NBA
playoffs to win a series, And with that in mind,
coming up tonight, we have Game four the Eastern Conference
Finals in Indiana. Pacers are in action as they will
be hosting who are they hosting? The hosting the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Yeah, and that'd be amazing if they didn't play the Celtics. Yeah,
Now that would be a story if they, like somehow
like the Sixers came in there to play the game,
that would be why.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Might give him a better chance though, because the Celtics,
also with a three to zero series, evasually gonna close
it out with they sweep tonight on the road. NHL
Game three Eastern Conference Finals, the Rangers down the Panthers
in Florida five to four, in overtime, alex Weinberg deflex
in the game winner and sudden death For New York,
Alexis Lavinier and Barkley Gudro each had a pair of
goals as well. Rangers grab a two to one lead
in the series. Game four coming up Tuesday again in Florida,
(30:22):
Newson Baseball, where raining NL MVP Ronald Lacuna Junior broke
or broke toward the ACL and his left knee on
Sunday and he will miss the rest of the season.
On the Diamond, he had the Guardians winning their ninth straight,
beating the Angels five to four. That's their third straight
three game series sweep. They're now percentage points up on
the Yankees and the top breaker in the American League
at thirty six and seventeen. Yankees lose to the Padres
(30:45):
five to two, dropping them the thirty seven and eighteen
on the season. Phillyes still have the best record in
the Major leagues, even though they lost the Rockies five
to two. They're at thirty eight and sixteen. Dodgers were
swept by the Reds four one the final on Sunday.
That's five losses in a row for La Orioles meanwhile
sweep the four game series from the White Sox with
a four to one win. It was the Royals losing
to the Rays four to one, Braves over the Pirates
(31:06):
eight one, and the Cardinals get by the Cubs four
to three. Sad story from golf where Grayson Murray, a
thirty year old PG Tour player, committed suicide over the weekend.
He had been competing in the Charles Schwab Challenge at
the Colonial, but withdrew on Friday after sixteen hole siting
in illness. The event did continue and was completed earlier
(31:31):
on Sunday, and Davis Riley ended up winning that event.
Apparently the family of Grayson Murray asked that they not
postponer canceled the event, so they went on with it
for Grayson Murray, two time winner on the PGA Tour.
So obviously sad story there.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I see Ben Maler show as we continue on time. Now,
that was not fun, Eddie. This is fun though.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Here we go.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Fun fact time hit that button there, fun fact, fun fact,
fun fact, fun fact, fun fact. Apparently we don't know there.
It is all right, Oh my god, I say fun
fifteen times.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
We get it.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
All right, So story I saw over the weekend claim
back in the day, the Oakland Athletics, that's a baseball
team used to be in Oakland. But they've got one
foot out the door in Sacramento and the other foots
in Vegas.
Speaker 9 (32:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Pitcher Dallas Braden, who I believe is a commentator for
the Athletics, he used to use as a foreign substance.
He would rub on the baseball. Bong resin, bong resin.
He would rub on the baseball. You get it all sticky,
So put that in your pipe.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And smoke it.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, let's go to the phones. We'll say hello to
Jerome and Charleston. Hello, Jerome, bring it home, Jerome.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Hey, what do you put? What do you put on
your baseballs? As a controls? Then I'd be like, I
like to know that I throw the knuckleball.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I throw the knuckleball, Jerome, So I don't need any
substance on my balls.
Speaker 6 (32:56):
I'll bet you do. I'll bet you knucklebook.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Hey.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
By the way, I just want to warn the basketball America.
Where do you get a load of the Luca Dargitch act?
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Okay, you ain't seeing.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
A crime, baby, can you see a crime.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
Oh, you can't say that you're home. You never played
in the NBA. You don't know how tough it is.
You don't know how tough it is.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You're home when the officials make a call, you don't
agree with your home.
Speaker 6 (33:23):
Never comme as a foul, and don't touch people when
I got the ball.
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Okay, don't got to Luca when you're not qualified. You're
not qualified to goof on him because you never played
in the game.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
You never played pro basketball.
Speaker 6 (33:39):
Tells good luck on getting the calls in your building,
because I don't see it happening. You ain't getting the
calls at those two.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Intel Yeah, the Celtics never get any calls. They never
get calls to Celtics.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
Like the guy who's who went to Duke for years
is oh the earth is slat. Oh yeah, I know
something slack and it's like right at the top of
your shoulders. Okay, went to your See they're not You
ain't getting the calls. I can't wait till they come
there and they get called out, the call out, the
call and no tecnicos. How long is it gonna take
(34:12):
Joe mn tool to get a technica because they don't
call technicals on Dodger's boy. No matter he flops, he cries,
he throws his arms up, he tows his hands up
the Fenshals. If that was like Rodman or they'd be
tee and him up every two minutes like rodin car.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Jerome, I'm offended by this phone call, Jerome, I'm offended
by can look.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Tideways at an officier and get a tax dodgets He's
got that Kittling Cark kind of order. And by the
way Rockley talking about people criticizing Kaitlin Clark, that sounds
really funny coming from Charles Brockley, who's made millions criticizing people. Okay,
by the way, he lost it all Gamel's range. He's
got to keep working, you know, the pay up as
(34:54):
gambling dance. If he hasn't already done that. Look, I'm
thinking people with this Kittler car, did w anta lost
money for almost thirty years? Okay? Where are all those
people loving the w NBA when they were losing money?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
You'd have to use You'd have to talk to Eddie.
You'd have to talk to Eddie about this girl. Eddie
is the one over.
Speaker 6 (35:15):
There, Oh, Eddie who says to NBA. Soft yeady, you'll
come talk to me.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
How you never you never played in the NBA, So
how do you know Anthy Edwards? Now, just for the record,
he said he was tight twenty two years old. He
was exhausted in game one. Now he's blaming the referees
in game three? What what will his e excuse me
when Minnesota's finally exterminated from the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (35:41):
Let me ask you a question, mister ben Benjamin Maller,
We're just harder to do do a talk show or
play an amba.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
I would say, do a talk show is much harder
than playing in the NBA. No, I'll and I'll prove
it to you. There are less people doing overnight sports
talk radio than playing in the NBA. And it's not
even close. There are fewer of these jobs than there
are NBA jobs. So therefore, it is harder to have
one of these jobs and keep one of these jobs
than it is to play in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Do you understand, drewme? Do you understand the.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Math on that there's only a couple of national sports
radio networks in the country, and.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
There's only a few people that have these jobs.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
There are many more of these jobs in the NBA
to play basketball, many more jobs in the NBA.
Speaker 6 (36:23):
Hey, some of those people shouldn't have talked to us
because they are boring.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Well, that's a different conversations. You're home, that's not the conversation.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
They're play of NBA players that are also bad at
their job, but they're in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
So I gotta go. Thank you. I'm hanging up on you.
All right, go away, I'll talk to you tomorrow. I'm
sure you'll call tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Why not A blind Scott is on the north end
of Boston. And then we've got to get to the
instant advice line. Hello blind Scott, Hey, I got a
conspiracy theory brand home Jerome.
Speaker 8 (36:53):
He didn't want to meet you when he was in
his town. When you're in his hometown.
Speaker 6 (36:56):
I swear he's Bill Cosby, Like he could be a
head audio voice.
Speaker 8 (37:02):
I like for Bill Cosby. Like next time he calls him,
say set Albert, Hey, one.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Of the we we had, Blind Scott. You remember this guy,
what was the guy's name? La Matt used to call
the show. La Matt was a dead man.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Bill Cosby, that guy, Yeah, he used to yell.
Speaker 8 (37:18):
He would yell when he called and he was drunk
all the time too, that guy. But Hey, I had
a fits on fight, so I got on my vaccines
for this Vegas trip, so I can't wait to go.
I'm just waiting to find out when it is. Hey,
could you check for the next hour. I think the
Rangers in the Panthers game might have beat the ratings
in the in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
That was.
Speaker 8 (37:37):
That was the hell of a Rangers game, and that's
a huge market. They came back.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
The ratings won't be out till tomorrow, so i'll later.
Speaker 8 (37:44):
Later on business guy Connor Clutterbucks. He's from Roll. He's
like the private Loll but he's like the biggest NHL
star now he plays for Edmonton. Elf was talking about
Loll earlier. Man, you don't want to say nothing bad
about Loll Alf. People will come after you for that.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
Man.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Don't don't despise Lowell. You know Lows. You've seen that
movie The Fighter. The people of Volde got really now
when that movie came out. You know what I mean,

We protect these these Italian Americans in here, and the
last stance is here in the north end and then
involved and you're your mother in law. She's Italian. That's
(38:22):
why she throws all her money away gambling like a
loser because Italian people don't know how to I know
how to do is eat and go on cruises.
