Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our number three, Our three, growing like a mushroom,
our number three right there, dark environment, manure being fed
to it.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
But yes, yes, that is what we're doing here in
our number three. It's all about pro bouncy ball, the
NBA Finals. On break now, Dallas guard Kyrie Irving made
a hand gesture indicating that he guarantees the NBA Finals
will be going back to Boston for a game five.
How much faith do you have in that hand guarantee? Also,
what happened to the Luca Kyrie combo being the best

(00:38):
back court at NBA history?

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Remember that? I remember that?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
And why did former Laker coach Darvin Ham pick the Bucks.
He's going to join the Bucks coaching staff rather than
go to Phoenix or several of the teams like Golden
State that wanted Darvin Ham. We'll talk about that and
much more right now here. It is give it up
for the original recipe. Our number three all about the
sign language.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Well come, in.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
The beginning of another hour of the Benmahler Show.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
We are in the air everywhere.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Slithering as we inch forward into the night, coast to coast, border,
the border and beyond on the vast and ginormously powerful
microphones of FSR emmating live from the empty the empty stomach.

(01:32):
As we are fasting away the overnight, we're broadcasting live
from the ti raq dot com studios. Tyre raq dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers. Blake in Arkansas has that much writing on

(01:53):
the Finals tire rack dot com the way tire buying
should should be. So we're back at it again here
in the original recipe, show our lead this hour from
pro Bouncy Ball Bouncy Bouncy Bouncy. It was a travel
day in the NBA Finals, as the media traveling the

(02:18):
Celtics and the mav Res also using planes, trains, and
automobiles to traverse the one thousand, seven hundred and sixty
one miles that separate Boston and Dallas. The schedule calls
for on the marquee there a Texas two step games
three and four in the Lone Star State. Much of

(02:38):
the chatter over the last twenty four hour Celtic Maverick
news cycle has been about Uncle Drew. Now, what would
he say something? Did he say? Something anti semitic. Again,
what did he do?

Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
No, No, he's still acting like a boy scout. That's
an old, outdated reference. There used to be boy scouts
and girls scouts.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Now there's just scouts. I guess there's no.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Boys and girls anywhere anyway. So much of the chatter
about Uncle Drew.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
And what he did at the end.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
So if you saw this, you know what I'm talking about,
But chances are you might have missed it. Some grainy
cell phone footage from Boston following Game two, as the
players are making their mass exodus off the court that
clearly shows Kyrie Irving multiple times, multiple times using sign language,

(03:30):
sign language towards heckling fans as he left the court,
and the sign language he held his hand up five.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Five.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
You know in the football world, in the fourth quarter
you're supposed to put four fingers in the air like that. Yeah, well, five,
signifying that the Mavericks will be back in the Commonwealth
per game five.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's billboard. It is Kyrie's bold guarantee.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
So let us discuss Dallas guard Kyrie Irving making a
hand gesture seemingly guaranteeing the NBA Finals will go, will
go five games at least and be back in Boston.
How much faith do you have in Kyrie's sign language ability?

(04:19):
So I've got goodyear jab and vulture mode, and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make some Spaghettian meatballs.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Why not? All right? So first of all, I getting
two worked up.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
I realize I'm talking about this in a monologue, but this,
to me is standard NBA Finals hyperbole. We've done this
show a lot over the years, and we know that
the way these things work, there's a cadence.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
There's a yin to the yang.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
There's a boiler plate set up that you need something
for people to click on on the days off. And
the narrative is Kyrie is maturing. And I will tell
you in this regard, I will defend Kyrie Irving. Kyrie
Irving is mature because in years past, Kyrie Irving would
have used sign language for the fans in Boston.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
It would have been the number yeah, the old bird.
The bird is the word.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
The bird is the word.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
He would have given the bird the one finger salute,
the how do you do? But he didn't do that,
so he added three other fingers and a thumb for
the five fingered message growing up before.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Our four eyes and ears.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
So this is your regular NBA Finals story, so much downtime.
It's elongated for travel that you get. I call them,
you know what I call I call them goodyear blimp stories.
What is a good year blimp story? It's full of
hot air, just like the Good Year blim full of
hot air. Right, what did you expect Kyrie Irving to do?

(06:02):
Did you expect, Oh, yeah, we suck, We're done. I'll
be in Cancun in my banana hammock before you know it.
Of course, he's not gonna say that. But when you
take out the Mouther microscope in this snapshot, things look
pretty blake.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
Right.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
He's not gonna get out there, get out the dust pan, grandma, right,
because we're about to get swept.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
You can't say that.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
But things are not looking good, and they're not looking
good because Kyrie has sucked. Any time, you cannot suck now. Secondly,
remember one of the big storylines leading into the NBA
Finals I do. It's about the backcourt in Dallas. What
on God's green earth happened to the Kyrie Irving Luka
don hic combo being.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
The best back court in NBA history. I remember that.
Do you remember that? I remember that it was like
four days ago. That happened five days ago.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
That hot take eight now is on death Row, that
hot take and not death Row records Death Row, okay,
and doctor death is preparing the jab for that take
lethal injection to.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Best backcourt in NBA history.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Whoooo yeah, how bad has it been?

Speaker 1 (07:20):
You ask?

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Well?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Luca at this point is starring in an old Hollywood flick,
The Lone Ranger, as he has been the Lone Ranger
mixed when when you mix him with Uncle Drew, it's
like oil and water. It's the twusome, but it's the
gruesome twosom for the Dallas basketball team. You give me
an idea how lopsided all of these numbers are. Luca

(07:43):
is shooting thirty eight percent from downtown three point land.
The rest of the team, Kyrie Irving included, is shooting
nine percent from behind the ark. Now Kyrie has yet
to make a three point shot. True, Holliday, a wonderful
complementary player, has been the better player side by side

(08:07):
with Kyrie Irving. Any way you cut it, that's just
the plain and simple truth. That's the way it is.
And Irving has looked like he's been medicated in the
NBA Finals.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
That can't be right. There's something else going on here.
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 3 (08:24):
All I know is against the Minnesota basketball team and
all those young legs in Minnesota, Kyrie shot forty nine
percent and average twenty seven points a game. In two
games of the NBA Finals. With the stakes much higher,
Kyrie Irving is shooting a measly thirty five percent and
averaging fourteen points per game. And as mentioned, no money

(08:45):
balls in this series. So things are not going well
for world b Flat. He might want to find the
world be round because man, the flat world's not working
out for him.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Our final thought, we go to Wisconsin. Why I found
this interesting? That's why? What the hell?

Speaker 5 (09:06):
All right?

Speaker 1 (09:06):
So you did?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
His former Laker coach, Darvin Ham Sandwich has a new job.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Darvin Ham has a new gig.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
What is his new gig?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
We are told he has agreed to rejoin the Milwaukee
basketball team. That's right, Darvin Ham will be part of
the Milwaukee Bucks coaching staff with Doc Rivers as the
league coach. Darvin Ham will be the top assistant. He
was in Milwaukee for parts of four years. He was
there in the greatest moment in recent Bucks history, and

(09:35):
they won the championship over the Phoenix Suns and.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Chris Paul and Devin Booker.

Speaker 3 (09:39):
Now, after heading to LA he's heading back like a boomerang,
heading back to the state of Wisconsin. So keep in
mind that Darvin Ham was courted by the Phoenix Suns.
There were whispers that Golden State was interested in him,
and several other high profile teams that wanted Darvin Ham.
But he decides, despite having multiple offers, that the best
place for him, him the place better than all the rest,

(10:02):
is Milwaukee. The question is why why did Darvinham turn
down teams like Golden State and Phoenix and decide to
join the Bucks coaching staff again. So the answer on
this one is not that hard, right. The answer is
because he now becomes the vice president of coaching for

(10:25):
the Milwaukee Bucks and he's in vulture mode.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Darvin Ham.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's actually a sneaky smart move by Darvinham, and I'll
tell you why. Because Ham is a heartbeat or bad
coaching decision away from opportunity. Knocking knock knock, who's there
open the door. Every man, woman and child knows that
Doc Rivers is not long, not long for coach of

(10:53):
the Bucks status, that he will eventually be replaced sooner
than later. And when he is replaced, the easy move
is to keep it in house and just.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Promote Darvin Ham.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
He can slid on over, sit in the big chair,
as one of our old morning guys used to say,
and hang out and coach the Greek freak and dame time.
Much more realistic scenario than Steve Kerr exiting mid season
for Golden State or another possibility that's been tossed and

(11:24):
bandied about. Well, what about the Suns. They just fired
Frank Vogel after one season in Arizona. Well, Mike Budenholzer
is a friend, can't do a friend dirty like that.

Speaker 1 (11:34):

the problem with the leader lap in his bathroom skills
now are before we had two bathrooms, but because of
I'm not gonna name names here, but there was someone
that was hired that demanded having their own bathroom and

Okay, fine, answer incorrect. Former Big League manager Ozzie Yian
attempted to sit on a cactus, saying that it would
hurt less than watching the twenty twenty four White Sox.

gonna guess porcupine, porcupine.

Speaker 3 (17:59):
Well, you know it's the plant version of the porcupine, right,
The cactus is the plant version of the porcupine. And
this is the greatest thing that could happen to the
Chicago White Sox postgame show on NBC Sports Chicago. Because
they're so bad. There's a certain point when you're so
bad it becomes memorable, Like you don't want to be
in the middle like this, You're gonna remark for years

(18:21):
to come. You're gonna remember White Sox. You're gonna remember
this team how bad they are. Right, they're not gonna

the Celtics.

We had we had to jump the mark.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
We dumped that. What do we dumb?

Speaker 4 (20:28):
We don't know that something got dumped.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
Nothing needed to be dumped there. There was nothing dumb

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yes, you dingle Berry. What's wrong with you?

Speaker 5 (20:40):
You want me to say you you.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
You're just repeating my material? Jeez god, what.

Speaker 6 (20:50):
What do you want?

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Why? Why did you call?

Speaker 4 (20:52):
It?

Speaker 1 (20:53):
Is wrong with you? Yes, Marcel is better than you
as a caller.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Shut up.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
He's so good. He's breadthdaking, he's breathtaking.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
And Eddie, somebody somebody called the gym and let them
know that they we have we have one of their
dumb bells.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Let the Jim know that we have one of their
dumb bells.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
Here.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Oh all right, all right, there we go.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
A terrible call.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I guess that that dad joke was that was too
far for Blair.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
He could not handle the dad joke there. I thought
that was pretty good among insults. I thought that was fine.
He did not agree. Yeah, he's had some some doozies
in that. That was pretty pretty, pretty bad. I would
say he knows.

Speaker 9 (21:39):
He really did have a reaction though to the Marcel comment,
I mean, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
That's the Yeah, that's legit.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
A lot of people messaged me, by the way, to
ask if Marcel said a dirty word.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
I don't want the show yesterday. I don't believe he did, though.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
I'm him a god foring man Eddie saying the S
word with three letters it ends with an.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
X is a big word.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
Yeah, but we were all blown away the man said sex.
From Marcel to say sex, that is an unbelievable thing.
He probably washed his mouth out with soap and water
for an hour after that.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
He was on the end. Yeah, that's it, do you see?

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Joe Missoula was asked about the Royal family being at
a Celtic game.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
Who is the game?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
And uh, you know, there's a bunch of secondary royal
family people.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
But Joe Missoula gave he.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Gave an answer that it was a leading you know,
those leading questions where the person's already got the story
written and they just need a quote to finish the
story off. That's often what happens, and it's like, all right,
I got my story written, I just need to slide
into the b column. I need to put something in
there about you know, Joe Mossoula's reaction. So, Missoula was

(22:58):
asked about the royal family attending a game, and he
responded to saying the only royal family, and then he
quoted the Bible, not the not the rules, which I'm
assuming was not the quote that the reporter was looking for.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
I'm assuming that was not the quote the reporter was
looking for.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
We continue on. We're gonna have a game show coming
up here. Momentarily. It's Mallard's amount of money. We're gonna
set the game up. It'll be wonderful, amazing, all of
that good stuff. But we have fun. We have to
have fun right now, right come on, Fun fun, fun,
fun fun, fun, fun, fun, fun fun. Putting the fun
in fun facts have We been doing it for several
months now and we will continue to put the fun

(23:45):
in fun facts. We go to the NFL, where Marcedes Lewis,
the pride of Long Beach Polly, signed a one year
deal with the Chicago Bears, and that means he is
ready to make pro foot ball history. His nineteenth season
in the NFL. He's the longest tenured tight end. He

(24:07):
will be in NFL history. He will break a tie
with Jason Whitten and Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez. That
was last year he broke the tie, so add on
to his record. He's also the second oldest player in
the NFL, assuming some fifty year old kicker doesn't get
signed to Tom Brady doesn't come back behind Jets quarterback
Aaron Rodgers and they were teammates with Green Bay. But

(24:30):
Mercedes lewis making his way to the Windy City as
he will play at age forty for the Chicago Bears.
I wanted to go back to the coach of the
Celtics and we've had some fun with Joe Mizzola. We
mentioned just a second ago that he was asked a
question about the royal family and he did not take

(24:52):
the bait, which upset a reporter. He was also asked,
a lot of the media is race baiting. They try
to separate all of us by race, and a lot
of the media does that.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
In sports media, they love it. And Joe Mizula.

Speaker 3 (25:04):
Was asked about being a black coach in the NBA
Finals and first time since the mid seventies that there
were two black head coaches, and Joe Mizula did not
take the bait.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
He did not take the bait. He brought up his faith.

Speaker 3 (25:21):
He brought up a question of how many of those
coaches have been Christian coaches?

Speaker 1 (25:26):
And that annoyed the report.

Speaker 3 (25:28):
You know what, it reminded me of Remember Todd Bowles
a couple of years ago in Tampa. Todd Bowles, the
coach of the Buccaneers, was asked one of those leading
race baiting questions and he said, we coach ball, we
don't look at color. And that caused people's heads, the
media that go for those stories, their heads like exploded, like,
oh my god, what's wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Everything's about this? Well, don't you get it?

Speaker 3 (25:54):
And yeah, so I was I think the Bucks were
playing the Steelers, if I remember correctly, But that was
a couple of years back. And so Joe Misula taking
up a little bit, he twists, he put a twist
on he put his own twist on it Missoula. But
he didn't take the bait on a question about the
Royals and also question about race.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
So I got a kick out of that. I thought
it was certainly interesting.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
If nothing else, let's meet our Actually, before we meet
our contestants, say, let's say hello to Texas Jack real.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Quick, he's online, and then we'll meet our contestants. Hello,
Texas Jack, how you doing?

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Man?

Speaker 1 (26:31):
If I was any.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Better, I'd be a maverick, but not a Dallas maverick
because they've got they got some problems here.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
What they don't have any problems? Yeah, they're down two?
So what it takes four? You know that? Uh?

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Well actually no, right right now, right right now, right now,
it only takes two.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Actually they need two more they win.

Speaker 5 (26:55):
Well whatever, anyway, how many do the compers need?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Always about the clippers, because the clippers matter. The clippers
are in your head. They are living in your head
right now, in the front of your head, right there,
the funnel lob. There's a Clipper logo right there in
the front lobe of your brain right there.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
Yeah, I'm gonna have that removed later on. Anyway, man
can't listen when Kyrie, when they got Kyrie, I hated it.
I kissed me off so much. But he's he really
has turned the corner. Won't you cut the man some slack?
Can't a guy have a second chance.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Well, this is not his second chance. He's already past that.
So he's he's beyond.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
Whatever chance is. He's final.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
No, I'm not a Maverick. If I was a Maverick fan,
I get it. But I think he's doing performance art.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
He's acting.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I don't believe he's I don't think he's changed his ways,
and he'll bounce back to saying crazy stuff again, doing
wild things and all that. But he's during the playoffs,
he's been on good behavior. That's fine. But no, I
do not think at age third he too he's changed
his ways.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
No, the whole time he's come to Dallas, he's changed
his ways.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Ye, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.

Speaker 5 (28:11):
But you'll give him a hard time, but you'll with
open arms. Except Westbrook and Harden.

Speaker 1 (28:16):
Right, You you.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Think that Kyrie Irving, Westbrook and Harden are the same
like Westbrooks problems. Westbrook's problem is he can't shoot, and
he keeps shooting three pointers in big games. That's his problem.
Harden's problem is.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
He spent He's thrown stuff on spectators.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
Yeah, and and hard hardest Harden's problem.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
Harden's problem is he he vanishes at times they're not
supposed to vanish.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
That's his problem.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
So it's it's the fault. I thought he was the
answer to that question who shot the most in a
playoff game? That would have been my guess.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, I think you called up to talk about the
Mavericks and we're talking about the Clippers. I like that. See,
you really are a clippery You're a Clipper guy.

Speaker 3 (29:02):
You called up to talk about Kyrie Irving and you
brought up Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

Speaker 5 (29:07):
Because they are worse human beings?

Speaker 3 (29:11):
How are they worse human beings? Are because they don't
play for the Dallas Mavericks. That's why you like the Mavericks.
I get if James Harden was traded or signed with
the Mavericks, you'd suddenly be singing the praises of James Harden.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Yes, you would know, you wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
That's a lie because if you were going to change teams,
you would have done it when Kyrie Irving.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
Joined the team.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
I thought about it.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Not for long though.

Speaker 3 (29:36):
