This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Oh you got, you gotta make the pot? You got
even I know that you gotta make the putt. Welcome
in the beginning of a brand new week of the
Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Cranking up the boombox as we start with a bang
or maybe a miss, I don't know, Coast to coast,
border to mot and beyond all the vast and zestfully
powerful microphones of fsre AM mandating live from the seat
(01:11):
high top. We're in the catbird seat here, broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com will
help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars A many almost as many as I get comments
from Eugene in Chicago throughout the day, tiraq dot com
(01:35):
the way tire buying should be. And we're back at it,
another week of for Volid here behind the microphones, and
we do something we don't often do on this show.
We go somewhere that is a foreign land that we
don't visit very often, roughly four times a year unless
there's a scandal. And that would be the links. The
(01:56):
rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate Malard monologue about golf not.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
A game, not a game. We ain't here talking about golf.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I know it's shocking, but this is allowed by the
sports talk radio gods. It is June, and in June
you're allowed to talk about golf. So we had a
major over the weekend. I don't know if you watched
any of this, if you were consuming the content that
took place, perhaps perhaps not. But Bryson D. Chambeau gets
(02:25):
the win. WHOA, you're excited? No? He won the US
Open wrapped up on Sunday in North Carolina, second time,
the second time with the best shot of his life
for the way up Mike eighteenth old Pinehurst number two.
And if you're a golf ner, you know what I'm
(02:47):
talking about, and people will reminisce about this and so oh,
can you believe the shot that he made out but
a dagger, an absolute dag. The Roy McElroy in the
final hour or so, as the crow flies d Chambeau
wrapping up, putting the bow on the package. They're up
(03:07):
and down all around, and from fifty five yards out
of a bunker, a four foot part putt ends up
at one over seventy one ends up winning the championship.
As Roy McElroy had been in position as the final
day of the Major went along. There in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
(03:31):
There the golfer that made headlines and the tabloids recently
Roy McElroy because of a divorce. And then he said, Sike,
just kidding, not getting divorced. And now he said, Syke,
I'm going to win the US Open. No I am not, No,
I am not. So let us discuss the question did
Bryson d Chambeau win the US Open or did Roy McElroy.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Gag it away.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I've got eat your veggies, Froggy and scrub a dub dub,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a migraine headache, which I
pretty sure, pretty sure that Roy McElroy had a migraine
headache here. So the question did Bryce and d chambeau
(04:22):
win the Open? Or did Roy McElroy lose the Open?
That is what's known as a rhetorical question. It's rather
obvious here while it was a roller coaster ride and
d Schambeau did have the lead at the start of
the tournament final round at Pinehurst. Even with that, as
someone who is a casual observer of the product, I
(04:43):
am not a regular customer of the product. I am not,
but as someone who's a casual observer, make no mistake
about it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay, what we know.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You and I both know a pratfall when we see
a pratfall. And Roy mc got a first class ticket,
first class ticket on the vomit comed as the day
progressed there on Sunday. You got off to a good start,
but you gotta finish what you start. You gotta finish
what you start. And he did not finish what he started.
(05:16):
And the entire thing was like a PSA. And I
know a thing or two about PSAs doing the overnight show.
A lot of PSAs, right, A lot of PSAs, and
this was a PSA saying hey, eat your veggies.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Now what do I mean by that? Pretty simple? Right?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Pretty simple here when you think of the family of vegetables.
Roy McElroy, he ate his vegetables. Unfortunately, he ate the
art of choke. That's his favorite vegetable, that the art
put a choke. How bad was it? McElroy? He had
a two shot lead with five holes to play and
then he missed not one, but two putts within four yards.
(05:57):
So it is a putt. Yeah, I know, but you're
not a professional golfer. And here's the thing. What do
I always say it? There's no such thing as momentum, right,
there no such thing as momentum. No such thing is momentum.
Stat's tell you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
This is a textbook example. If you watched the events
at Pinehurst, you know exactly the number I'm about to
(06:17):
give you, because it tells you what has happened, not
what's going to happen. Prior to Roy McElroy clanking the
first of the two failed punts, he was four hundred
and ninety six out of four hundred and ninety six
putting inside three feet this season on the PGA Tour,
(06:38):
and then he did the thing you can't do at
the time, you can't do it now near the end,
McElroy watched d Chambeau winning the tournament. Watched it on
a monitor. Look like they were taping an episode of
that prankster show where they're to watch the monitor and
tell tell the people doing the prank what to do next.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But he watched them the scorers room and then sped away.
More on that coming up as the street continues now
for Roy McElroy as he ends now almost a ten year,
closing in on a decade since a major championship. And
as you know, in golf, nobody pays attention to the
waste management open. It's all about the majors. There's four
(07:23):
of those a year, and that's it all right now
page two, we crossover dribble.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Now to the end. BA.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Now, when we last spoke in a previous episode of
the show, we were anticipating that we were going to
have the season end. By the time we got back,
there'd be no more finals games.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But expect the unexpected. In pro bouncy ball. It did
not end on Friday night. It did not. Scott Foster
was brought in. He worked his magic there, Scott Foster
the extender. Of course, it really wasn't a case of
Scott Foster having anything to do with the outcome of
I came if you saw any part of that game,
and I did. While I was eating fetichini alfredo on Friday,
was watching the game and the way the game played
(08:08):
out on Friday, there was an absolute Dallas Molly whopping
of Boston. Now, the conspiratorial side of me would say.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Here did somebody from Big Basketball called the Celtics and say, boys,
take the night off here, We'll have you win on
Monday night back home. We need an extra game on
Monday night. But sure enough, whether that happen or not,
there will be a Game five on a Monday night
at the Garden there the park in Boston. Now, following
the way is what I want to get you. So
following the win, Kyrie Irving said, Luca Donchik made a
(08:39):
few people eat their words with his performance in Game four.
The MAVs get the blowout win. There a historical win
for the basketball team from Texas and a historical loss
for the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
So is that how you see it? Though?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The part where Kyrie Irving said that Luca made a
few people eat their words, so there was no word
eating that took place. I talked to several people who
are critics and not a single one of them made
any words. Bad job, yet another failed take by Kyrie.
We're gonna throw the yellow laundry on the field here
(09:15):
on this particular take. You has a false start penalty,
premature bad job by you, and we'll mark off the
five yards, will replay the down. Shame on you, Kyrie.
That is a foolish overreaction. Last I checked, the Boston
Celtics are still up three games to one. Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe that win was worth like three or four games.
I thought it was only worth one. And just keeping
(09:38):
it real here because why not? What else can we
do looking at this here? Over reaction? Overreaction? Luka Doncik
is the headliner?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Is that right? Am I doing good? So he's the headliner.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
He's the big Bafo Soaco star who has often had
a froggy in.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
His throat in the NBA Final? Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Disappearing for stretches in the second half, failing to get
it done in the fourth quarter. The first three games,
horrific numbers in the fourth quarter. No defense, he's a
designated hitter. He does not play defense, does not believe
in that foul trouble, and complaining non stop, thinking the
world's out to get him, because we all know in
(10:22):
that business of basketball, they always screw over the star
players in the NBA. They never give him a fair shake.
Never ever does a star player get the benefit of
the doubt. Doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So Game five Celtics will wrap it up on a
Monday night.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And then we can have their little parade, little duck
pot parade will be what Wednesday or Thursday of this
week our last word, we go to the Bay Area.
Another story bubbling up recently in pro bouncy ball, Why
on God's green Earth did Clay Thompson? Why did Clay
Thompson unfollow the Warriors? On social media, people over reacting
(10:59):
to this story as well more here were a measured response,
So why did Clay Thompson decide to unfollow wars We
know he's going to be a free agent and he
is going to roam around the NBA, and he'll flirt
with a bunch of different teams and see what happened.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
So it's fair to say.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Though this was a act of hostility by Clay Thompson,
it was an active hostility by Clay Thompson.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
He sees the graffiti on the wall.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
He would like to stay riding his boat to work
in San Francisco. He would like to continue that, but
he realizes the odds of that are not particularly good,
that the end is near. And so when I say
this is an active hostility the Warriors, from what I've
(11:45):
been told, they have offered him a contract, but it's
not what he wanted.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You call it a low ball offer.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Although for me, I would think I won the lottery,
and you likely would think you won the lottery. But
if you're Klay Thompson, a player of that statue, this
was an offensive offer there you. So he is doing
the old scrubb a dub dub and getting rid of
all references to the Warriors on social media.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Good luck on that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Now, we have read the book years ago, we read
the book Idiot's Guide to Athletes unfollowing teams on social media.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I recommend it's good reading.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So based on that and just living life here and
seeing what's going on. You edit, you erase, and you disassociate,
but you do that with a hostile edge, because really
what Klay Thompson wants is he's deputizing the fan base
to raise a hullabaloo. He wants the Warrior fans to
(12:38):
do his bidding that if enough noise goes on social
media and radio shows and all all forms of media,
that you weaponize the fan base, you put pressure on
the Warriors front office to pay you more money to
keep you around, keep the band together, even though the
band hasn't worked the last few years.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
And that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (13:00):

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Has the Good Time Blimp been grounded?
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Welcome in the beginning of another.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Hour of the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
We are in the air everywhere, burning the clock as
we take the checkered flag coach stuck coast, border to
border and beyond on the vast and vivaciously powerful microphones
of fsre emmading live from the dome, the heat dome
(14:13):
over the microphone as we're broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended it installers. Calligan, Tim and
Michigan's counting that high right now. Tire rack dot com
(14:34):
the Way Tire Buying Shoot, be in our lead this
hour from broadcasting one oh one. You might think, Hey,
the weekend's coming, gone here we move on to what's next.
But we had a rather large dump news dump, not
a real dump. There might have been a real dump,
(14:56):
a rather large news dump that happened in our little
world on Friday night after the Dallas basketball team electrocuted
the Boston basketball team in a random game as the
Mavericks were making an omelet out of the Shamrocks.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
They were doing the Shamrock shake.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
The round mound of rebound and gas Baggerie. He drops
him info and it seemed like kind of a big deal,
got a fair amount of attention. But it was over
the weekend, and so here we are left to pick
up the pieces as we're hanging out together on this
this money. But if you didn't see it, Charles Barkley
(15:36):
revealed in the late night hours when very few people
are watching, that he has had conversations with multiple TV networks,
but he is not, I repeat not leaving TNT. Instead,
Barkley claimed that he will play out next season, even
though it's not the final year on his contract. He'll
(15:57):
play out next season. Then he will retire. He'll hang
up the microphone after what will be twenty five years
of commentary on NBA games for Turner, Barkley claiming that
he will exit stage left just when Ernie Johnson leaves
as well. And that's it. That's turn out. The last
(16:17):
the parties over. So let us discuss the question how
likely is Charles Barkley to actually do it. It's one
thing to say you're going to do it, But how
likely is Charles Barkley to actually retire from broadcasting NBA games?
So I've got Ozzy Osbourne, horseplay and drawing class, and
(16:39):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a long walk to the vending machine,
which Eddie Garcia is doing right now. What will he
buy from the vending machine? Will he buy candy? Will
he buy chips? What will Eddie buy? I don't know,
maybe soda, possibly a carbonated beverage. Will find out, but
Eddie is on his way right now to the vending machine.
(17:00):
We can report to all the affiliates down the line,
So number what. So to answer the question, how likely
is Charles Barkley to retire from broadcasting? He is not
going anywhere. He is not going anywhere. And I'm never
wrong about these things. I am a distant relative of
Nodama's friend of Nostradina's. Charles Barkley is full of pooh
(17:24):
when it comes to this. He's not retiring. He's not
retiring tomorrow. The day after he's not retired, they're gonna
have to rip the earpiece and the microphone out of
his wardrobe. Do you understand, Okay, Charles bark I'll tell
you why Barkley loves being Charles Barkley. You can't beat
Charles Barkley with the same vimen vigor if you are
(17:47):
not broadcasting NBA games. Now I get it. This is
an emotional time. Charles Barkley is really upset with the NBA.
He's upset with Turner and all the muckety MUCKs, all
the big wigs, the money people who could not figure
out a compromise and they've been at loggerheads for months
and it didn't work out. And Charles Barkley wants the
(18:07):
status quo. He wants to keep the band together. He
and Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal and
all the production staff to put the show together behind
the scenes, to make the magic on television. He wants
that it ain't happening. He knows it and I know it.
So we pivot. We advanced the story. TNT was out
bit they did not meet the price. They were given
(18:30):
the opportunity to match from what we were told, but
Amazon and BC they ended up coming up with more money.
So Charles Barkley right now is doing something that he
often does. He's speaking in puffery, is what he's doing.
I remember Charles Barkley said he was going to become
the governor of the state of Alabama. And also Barkley
(18:53):
said he was going to retire. Nobody wanted to hear
somebody give takes when they're past the age of sixty. Well,
Barkley's passed the age of six. He's still giving takes.
He's still giving takes. But Barkley's acting like Ozzy Osborne.
I remember years ago, a bit famous musician at the time,
Ozzy Osbourne announced his retirement.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
In nineteen ninety two. He said, that's it. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I have a nice house, I have a nice car.
I don't get see it in my house. I don't
get to see my car. I'm retired and I'm tired
of being on the road. I'm not going to perform
on the road anymore, Ozzy Osborne said, And then he
quickly changed his mind because he realized retirement sucks, and
it wasn't too long before he started back on the road.
Right And Charles Barkley, he's already got one foot in
(19:39):
leisure world, right, TN, T, T and T work. It's
like you're kind of retired anyway. It's like a part
time job, you know. It's like people in my family
get a job at like the Walmart, you know, san
Hello to people, or Costco on the weekends. Yeah, a
little part time work there. That's essentially what Charles bark
It's not like he doesn't watch the games, doesn't and
(20:02):
I don't want him to. Barkley is there for comedic relief.
He's there to bust balls. That's what he does. And
the other Komodo dragon in the room when it comes
to Charles Barkley. Even anythink I'm wrong, and you say, well, Barkley,
he can beat Charles Barkley without being on television. Even
if you think I'm wrong on that take, I promise
(20:22):
you that I'm not wrong about my other take. And
the main reason that Charles Barkley cannot walk away from
broadcasting he has a major gambling addiction.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
And it's only.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
A problem when you don't win, which, by the way,
you don't, You just consistently do not win. And so
Charles Barkley is a prolific gambler. And from what I've
been told unless I got bad information, it's not like
he's slowed down. He's still doing the stuff he's been
doing here, and the money he makes from broadcasting these
(20:56):
games on TNT and all the other stuff that he does,
the commercials that helps cover the stench of the gambling losses.
So he ain't gonna go anywhere because unless he stops gambling,
and there's a better chance, there's a better chance that
we have a peace in the world than Charles Barkley
(21:19):
stops camping. Okay, Page two. Here to the coaching carousel.
We go round and round and round and round.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The coaching carousel.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Noted podcaster and pompous a hold JJ Reddick interviewed for
the Laker coaching job over the weekend. What chance do
you give JJ Reddick of getting the big chair in Lakerland?
So malor sportsbook odds on JJ Redick? I have the
(21:47):
odds at minus eight hundred. They hire a podcaster to
coach the team. There is an eighty percent chance, eighty
percent chance that this happens.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
And here's why. Okay, it is horse play. What's going
on there?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The Lakers have a tight wad owner Jeanie Boss they've
got skinny jeans. Rob Polenka, who doesn't know what he's
doing as the GM, even though he's he's really the
GM by proxy. Lebron's the real GM, and he's just
kind of fill in the chair. But that aside, are
that aside? This is horseplay because JJ Reddick is the
chalk horse at this point, and back before computers at
(22:25):
the track, they would write the favorite there in chalk
at the very top the term chalk horse.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's what that means.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But anyway, that's Lebron's hand picked, preferred option at coach.
It's a package deal the Lakers. From what I've heard
from people over there in Lakerland, they're so paranoid that
Lebron's gonna leave that whatever Lebron wants, they're going to
do to pacify within reason when it comes to the
coach and things like that. And so all you have
to do is hire his pompous, a hole schmucky podcast partner, okay,
(22:56):
and then Lebron will stay and all those idiots in
Hollywood will keep buying everything. I don't get that. Here's why,
Like the Lakers have they don't have fans, they have
his stories. They're idiots, right, and they'll buy those tickets
and luxury boxes and all that, no matter how embarrassing
the product is on the court.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
So what's the point. I don't get that part of it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But they are convinced they have to keep everything together
and all that stuff, and man, well, the key thing now,
the finals will end on Monday night, tonight, so that'll
be done, so Reddick will be free to be hired
as Laker coach by the end of the week. I
would assume he'll be hired by the end of the week.
Keep an eye on the usual idiots, the useful idiots
(23:36):
in the media that the Lakers plant stories to, and
they feed stories about what we see more propaganda about
JJ Reddick being great at this, that and the other thing,
modern marvel of coaching ride prodigy pat Riley like. Are
those stories gonna pop up? Stay tuned, all right? Final point,
We are now, believe it or not, nine days. Oh wait,
(23:59):
we are nine days away from the draft. Can you
feel the buzz in the air? No, there's no buzz.
There's now buzz in the air. The Atlanta Hawks are
on the board. The Atlanta Hawks are on the clock.
They have the first pick, In the twenty twenty four
NBA draft, everyone is focused on a player who shouldn't
even be drafted. The spawn of bron is what we're
(24:22):
talking about here now, Scrownie Bronnie James again, the focus
over the weekend. The story a couple weeks back was
Bron's kid was only going to work out for the
Lakers and Suns. And then the agent's like, well, nah,
there's been some other teams he works out for. Well,
after meeting with La and Phoenix, it turns out that's
(24:43):
all she wrote. According to the agent, Why is Bronnie James.
Why is Bronnie James unlikely to work out after initially
saying no and then saying yes his agent? Why is
Bronnie James unlikely to work out for any other teams
after visiting the Lakers and the Suns? And so this
(25:04):
is drawing class, is what this is, the little drawing class.
It is the family business. We know how this works.
It's the family business here, father son combo lebron talked
about this years ago. He wants it to happen. Why
wouldn't he want to happen? It makes sense? Why would
you not want that to happen? And Lebron though, he's
the one calling the shots here.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Not the agent. Come on, Lebron's the one calling the shots.
And this is an audible, audible audible omaha, omaha, omaha.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Or in this case, Scottsdale, Scottsdale, Scottsdale.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
They're redrawing the district it's drawing class and they're redrawing
the districts. It's market manipulation. It's wild that this is
actually happening when you consider that Scrawnie Broni averaged less
than five points a game on a bad sc basketball
team the old Pac twelve Conference, back when that was
(25:59):
a thing. Barely remember that when that was around, and
Scrownie Brownie was a backup on a sub five hundred
basketball team.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
And yet we are.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
He's the one, we're to believe that is deciding where
he will play and where he will not play.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And watch Lebron.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Right if the Sun's end up taking him, I could
see Lebron saying, Okay, you know that's a forty five
minute flight from Sky Harbor Airport and Phoenix to Van
Eys Airport where all the rich people fly into LA
and don't fly to Lax because why would you fly
into Lax.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
If you got money, you don't have to fly into Lax.
So keep an eye it.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Here we go, Malor. How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:41):
To the third degree?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
This is one big fan gets grail all right approval.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Ben former Defensive Player over the Year and former All
Pro Steffan Gilmour. Earlier this offseason, he was talking about
potentially being done with the NFL, retiring, but now he's
saying he's kind of just waiting for the right opportunity
to come his way. Do you think any opportunity will
come his way?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
No, that's what you say when your phone's not ringing.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
In the reality of the situation is if Stefan Gilmore
was of value, he would have had multiple offers. Training
GM starts in a month. NFL teams are mostly shut
down between now and training camp. People go on vacation
this time of the year and then they come back
and they start the season and the whole thing. So no,
I mean, if somebody gets hurt, he'll get a call,
but his phones there's no text messages next.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
So the Oriols are only a game and a half
behind the Yankees, but they may be in danger of
losing a third starting pitcher. They put Kyle Bradish on
the il with a UCL sprain. Then do you think
they can weather this storm?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yes, because the baseball's marginalized starting pitchers. The Dodgers yacht
lay lost Yamamoto over the weekend to another injury. The
Orioles they got injuries. Teams are the pitchers are so fragile.
Why would you ever pay any of these guys? But yeah,
the Oriels, they got a lot of time to go
before the plus and the trade deadline is in late July,
so you can add more pitching to get hurt.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Next.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
So, Tiger Wood said he failed to make the cut
at the US Open. He said it may or may
not be his last.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Is it his last?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
No, because Tiger Woods has to hang around, right, He's
got the lifetime exemption is gonna be coming his way,
and they can't disappear.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He'll be at the majors. How do we know he passes?
That is a way you can put.

Oh you got, you gotta make the pot? You got
even I know that you gotta make the putt. Welcome
in the beginning of a brand new week of the
Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
We are in the air everywhere.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Cranking up the boombox as we start with a bang
or maybe a miss, I don't know, Coast to coast,
border to mot and beyond all the vast and zestfully
powerful microphones of fsre AM mandating live from the seat
(01:11):
high top. We're in the catbird seat here, broadcasting live
from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com will
help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in

from Eugene in Chicago throughout the day, tiraq dot com
(01:35):
the way tire buying should be. And we're back at it,
another week of for Volid here behind the microphones, and
we do something we don't often do on this show.
We go somewhere that is a foreign land that we
don't visit very often, roughly four times a year unless
there's a scandal. And that would be the links. The
(01:56):
rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate Malard monologue about golf not.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
A game, not a game. We ain't here talking about golf.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I know it's shocking, but this is allowed by the
sports talk radio gods. It is June, and in June
you're allowed to talk about golf. So we had a
major over the weekend. I don't know if you watched
any of this, if you were consuming the content that
took place, perhaps perhaps not. But Bryson D. Chambeau gets
(02:25):
the win. WHOA, you're excited? No? He won the US
Open wrapped up on Sunday in North Carolina, second time,
the second time with the best shot of his life
for the way up Mike eighteenth old Pinehurst number two.
And if you're a golf ner, you know what I'm
(02:47):
talking about, and people will reminisce about this and so oh,
can you believe the shot that he made out but
a dagger, an absolute dag. The Roy McElroy in the
final hour or so, as the crow flies d Chambeau
wrapping up, putting the bow on the package. They're up
(03:07):
and down all around, and from fifty five yards out
of a bunker, a four foot part putt ends up
at one over seventy one ends up winning the championship.
As Roy McElroy had been in position as the final
day of the Major went along. There in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
(03:31):
There the golfer that made headlines and the tabloids recently
Roy McElroy because of a divorce. And then he said, Sike,
just kidding, not getting divorced. And now he said, Syke,
I'm going to win the US Open. No I am not, No,
I am not. So let us discuss the question did
Bryson d Chambeau win the US Open or did Roy McElroy.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Gag it away.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I've got eat your veggies, Froggy and scrub a dub dub,
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a migraine headache, which I
pretty sure, pretty sure that Roy McElroy had a migraine
headache here. So the question did Bryce and d chambeau
(04:22):
win the Open? Or did Roy McElroy lose the Open?
That is what's known as a rhetorical question. It's rather
obvious here while it was a roller coaster ride and
d Schambeau did have the lead at the start of
the tournament final round at Pinehurst. Even with that, as
someone who is a casual observer of the product, I
(04:43):
am not a regular customer of the product. I am not,
but as someone who's a casual observer, make no mistake
about it.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Okay, what we know.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
You and I both know a pratfall when we see
a pratfall. And Roy mc got a first class ticket,
first class ticket on the vomit comed as the day
progressed there on Sunday. You got off to a good start,
but you gotta finish what you start. You gotta finish
what you start. And he did not finish what he started.
(05:16):
And the entire thing was like a PSA. And I
know a thing or two about PSAs doing the overnight show.
A lot of PSAs, right, A lot of PSAs, and
this was a PSA saying hey, eat your veggies.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Now what do I mean by that? Pretty simple? Right?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Pretty simple here when you think of the family of vegetables.
Roy McElroy, he ate his vegetables. Unfortunately, he ate the
art of choke. That's his favorite vegetable, that the art
put a choke. How bad was it? McElroy? He had
a two shot lead with five holes to play and
then he missed not one, but two putts within four yards.
(05:57):
So it is a putt. Yeah, I know, but you're
not a professional golfer. And here's the thing. What do
I always say it? There's no such thing as momentum, right,
there no such thing as momentum. No such thing is momentum.
Stat's tell you what has happened, not what's going to happen.
This is a textbook example. If you watched the events
at Pinehurst, you know exactly the number I'm about to
(06:17):
give you, because it tells you what has happened, not
what's going to happen. Prior to Roy McElroy clanking the
first of the two failed punts, he was four hundred
and ninety six out of four hundred and ninety six
putting inside three feet this season on the PGA Tour,
(06:38):
and then he did the thing you can't do at
the time, you can't do it now near the end,
McElroy watched d Chambeau winning the tournament. Watched it on
a monitor. Look like they were taping an episode of
that prankster show where they're to watch the monitor and
tell tell the people doing the prank what to do next.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But he watched them the scorers room and then sped away.
More on that coming up as the street continues now
for Roy McElroy as he ends now almost a ten year,
closing in on a decade since a major championship. And
as you know, in golf, nobody pays attention to the
waste management open. It's all about the majors. There's four
(07:23):
of those a year, and that's it all right now
page two, we crossover dribble.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Now to the end. BA.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Now, when we last spoke in a previous episode of
the show, we were anticipating that we were going to
have the season end. By the time we got back,
there'd be no more finals games.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But expect the unexpected. In pro bouncy ball. It did
not end on Friday night. It did not. Scott Foster
was brought in. He worked his magic there, Scott Foster
the extender. Of course, it really wasn't a case of
Scott Foster having anything to do with the outcome of
I came if you saw any part of that game,
and I did. While I was eating fetichini alfredo on Friday,
was watching the game and the way the game played
(08:08):
out on Friday, there was an absolute Dallas Molly whopping
of Boston. Now, the conspiratorial side of me would say.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Well, wait a minute.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Here did somebody from Big Basketball called the Celtics and say, boys,
take the night off here, We'll have you win on
Monday night back home. We need an extra game on
Monday night. But sure enough, whether that happen or not,
there will be a Game five on a Monday night
at the Garden there the park in Boston. Now, following
the way is what I want to get you. So
following the win, Kyrie Irving said, Luca Donchik made a
(08:39):
few people eat their words with his performance in Game four.
The MAVs get the blowout win. There a historical win
for the basketball team from Texas and a historical loss
for the Celtics.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
So is that how you see it? Though?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
The part where Kyrie Irving said that Luca made a
few people eat their words, so there was no word
eating that took place. I talked to several people who
are critics and not a single one of them made
any words. Bad job, yet another failed take by Kyrie.
We're gonna throw the yellow laundry on the field here
(09:15):
on this particular take. You has a false start penalty,
premature bad job by you, and we'll mark off the
five yards, will replay the down. Shame on you, Kyrie.
That is a foolish overreaction. Last I checked, the Boston
Celtics are still up three games to one. Maybe I'm wrong,
Maybe that win was worth like three or four games.
I thought it was only worth one. And just keeping
(09:38):
it real here because why not? What else can we
do looking at this here? Over reaction? Overreaction? Luka Doncik
is the headliner?
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Is that right? Am I doing good? So he's the headliner.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
He's the big Bafo Soaco star who has often had
a froggy in.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
His throat in the NBA Final? Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Disappearing for stretches in the second half, failing to get
it done in the fourth quarter. The first three games,
horrific numbers in the fourth quarter. No defense, he's a
designated hitter. He does not play defense, does not believe
in that foul trouble, and complaining non stop, thinking the
world's out to get him, because we all know in
(10:22):
that business of basketball, they always screw over the star
players in the NBA. They never give him a fair shake.
Never ever does a star player get the benefit of
the doubt. Doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
So Game five Celtics will wrap it up on a
Monday night.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
And then we can have their little parade, little duck
pot parade will be what Wednesday or Thursday of this
week our last word, we go to the Bay Area.
Another story bubbling up recently in pro bouncy ball, Why
on God's green Earth did Clay Thompson? Why did Clay
Thompson unfollow the Warriors? On social media, people over reacting
(10:59):
to this story as well more here were a measured response,
So why did Clay Thompson decide to unfollow wars We
know he's going to be a free agent and he
is going to roam around the NBA, and he'll flirt
with a bunch of different teams and see what happened.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
So it's fair to say.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Though this was a act of hostility by Clay Thompson,
it was an active hostility by Clay Thompson.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
He sees the graffiti on the wall.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
He would like to stay riding his boat to work
in San Francisco. He would like to continue that, but
he realizes the odds of that are not particularly good,
that the end is near. And so when I say
this is an active hostility the Warriors, from what I've
(11:45):
been told, they have offered him a contract, but it's
not what he wanted.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
You call it a low ball offer.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Although for me, I would think I won the lottery,
and you likely would think you won the lottery. But
if you're Klay Thompson, a player of that statue, this
was an offensive offer there you. So he is doing
the old scrubb a dub dub and getting rid of
all references to the Warriors on social media.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Good luck on that.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Now, we have read the book years ago, we read
the book Idiot's Guide to Athletes unfollowing teams on social media.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
I recommend it's good reading.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So based on that and just living life here and
seeing what's going on. You edit, you erase, and you disassociate,
but you do that with a hostile edge, because really
what Klay Thompson wants is he's deputizing the fan base
to raise a hullabaloo. He wants the Warrior fans to
(12:38):
do his bidding that if enough noise goes on social
media and radio shows and all all forms of media,
that you weaponize the fan base, you put pressure on
the Warriors front office to pay you more money to
keep you around, keep the band together, even though the
band hasn't worked the last few years.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
And that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (13:00):

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Welcome in the beginning of another.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Hour of the Ben Mather Show.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
We are in the air everywhere, burning the clock as
we take the checkered flag coach stuck coast, border to
border and beyond on the vast and vivaciously powerful microphones
of fsre emmading live from the dome, the heat dome
(14:13):
over the microphone as we're broadcasting live from the Tirak
dot Com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get

and over ten thousand recommended it installers. Calligan, Tim and
Michigan's counting that high right now. Tire rack dot com
(14:34):
the Way Tire Buying Shoot, be in our lead this
hour from broadcasting one oh one. You might think, Hey,
the weekend's coming, gone here we move on to what's next.
But we had a rather large dump news dump, not
a real dump. There might have been a real dump,
(14:56):
a rather large news dump that happened in our little
world on Friday night after the Dallas basketball team electrocuted
the Boston basketball team in a random game as the
Mavericks were making an omelet out of the Shamrocks.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
They were doing the Shamrock shake.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
The round mound of rebound and gas Baggerie. He drops
him info and it seemed like kind of a big deal,
got a fair amount of attention. But it was over
the weekend, and so here we are left to pick
up the pieces as we're hanging out together on this
this money. But if you didn't see it, Charles Barkley
(15:36):
revealed in the late night hours when very few people
are watching, that he has had conversations with multiple TV networks,
but he is not, I repeat not leaving TNT. Instead,
Barkley claimed that he will play out next season, even
though it's not the final year on his contract. He'll
(15:57):
play out next season. Then he will retire. He'll hang
up the microphone after what will be twenty five years
of commentary on NBA games for Turner, Barkley claiming that
he will exit stage left just when Ernie Johnson leaves
as well. And that's it. That's turn out. The last
(16:17):
the parties over. So let us discuss the question how
likely is Charles Barkley to actually do it. It's one
thing to say you're going to do it, But how
likely is Charles Barkley to actually retire from broadcasting NBA games?
So I've got Ozzy Osbourne, horseplay and drawing class, and
(16:39):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a long walk to the vending machine,
which Eddie Garcia is doing right now. What will he
buy from the vending machine? Will he buy candy? Will
he buy chips? What will Eddie buy? I don't know,
maybe soda, possibly a carbonated beverage. Will find out, but
Eddie is on his way right now to the vending machine.
(17:00):
We can report to all the affiliates down the line,
So number what. So to answer the question, how likely
is Charles Barkley to retire from broadcasting? He is not
going anywhere. He is not going anywhere. And I'm never
wrong about these things. I am a distant relative of
Nodama's friend of Nostradina's. Charles Barkley is full of pooh
(17:24):
when it comes to this. He's not retiring. He's not
retiring tomorrow. The day after he's not retired, they're gonna
have to rip the earpiece and the microphone out of
his wardrobe. Do you understand, Okay, Charles bark I'll tell
you why Barkley loves being Charles Barkley. You can't beat
Charles Barkley with the same vimen vigor if you are
(17:47):
not broadcasting NBA games. Now I get it. This is
an emotional time. Charles Barkley is really upset with the NBA.
He's upset with Turner and all the muckety MUCKs, all
the big wigs, the money people who could not figure
out a compromise and they've been at loggerheads for months
and it didn't work out. And Charles Barkley wants the
(18:07):
status quo. He wants to keep the band together. He
and Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal and
all the production staff to put the show together behind
the scenes, to make the magic on television. He wants
that it ain't happening. He knows it and I know it.
So we pivot. We advanced the story. TNT was out
bit they did not meet the price. They were given
(18:30):
the opportunity to match from what we were told, but
Amazon and BC they ended up coming up with more money.
So Charles Barkley right now is doing something that he
often does. He's speaking in puffery, is what he's doing.
I remember Charles Barkley said he was going to become
the governor of the state of Alabama. And also Barkley
(18:53):
said he was going to retire. Nobody wanted to hear
somebody give takes when they're past the age of sixty. Well,
Barkley's passed the age of six. He's still giving takes.
He's still giving takes. But Barkley's acting like Ozzy Osborne.
I remember years ago, a bit famous musician at the time,
Ozzy Osbourne announced his retirement.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
In nineteen ninety two. He said, that's it. I'm done.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I have a nice house, I have a nice car.
I don't get see it in my house. I don't
get to see my car. I'm retired and I'm tired
of being on the road. I'm not going to perform
on the road anymore, Ozzy Osborne said, And then he
quickly changed his mind because he realized retirement sucks, and
it wasn't too long before he started back on the road.
Right And Charles Barkley, he's already got one foot in
(19:39):
leisure world, right, TN, T, T and T work. It's
like you're kind of retired anyway. It's like a part
time job, you know. It's like people in my family
get a job at like the Walmart, you know, san
Hello to people, or Costco on the weekends. Yeah, a
little part time work there. That's essentially what Charles bark
It's not like he doesn't watch the games, doesn't and
(20:02):
I don't want him to. Barkley is there for comedic relief.
He's there to bust balls. That's what he does. And
the other Komodo dragon in the room when it comes
to Charles Barkley. Even anythink I'm wrong, and you say, well, Barkley,
he can beat Charles Barkley without being on television. Even
if you think I'm wrong on that take, I promise
(20:22):
you that I'm not wrong about my other take. And
the main reason that Charles Barkley cannot walk away from
broadcasting he has a major gambling addiction.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
And it's only.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
A problem when you don't win, which, by the way,
you don't, You just consistently do not win. And so
Charles Barkley is a prolific gambler. And from what I've
been told unless I got bad information, it's not like
he's slowed down. He's still doing the stuff he's been
doing here, and the money he makes from broadcasting these
(20:56):
games on TNT and all the other stuff that he does,
the commercials that helps cover the stench of the gambling losses.
So he ain't gonna go anywhere because unless he stops gambling,
and there's a better chance, there's a better chance that
we have a peace in the world than Charles Barkley
(21:19):
stops camping. Okay, Page two. Here to the coaching carousel.
We go round and round and round and round.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
The coaching carousel.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Noted podcaster and pompous a hold JJ Reddick interviewed for
the Laker coaching job over the weekend. What chance do
you give JJ Reddick of getting the big chair in Lakerland?
So malor sportsbook odds on JJ Redick? I have the
(21:47):
odds at minus eight hundred. They hire a podcaster to
coach the team. There is an eighty percent chance, eighty
percent chance that this happens.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
And here's why. Okay, it is horse play. What's going
on there?
Speaker 1 (22:01):
The Lakers have a tight wad owner Jeanie Boss they've
got skinny jeans. Rob Polenka, who doesn't know what he's
doing as the GM, even though he's he's really the
GM by proxy. Lebron's the real GM, and he's just
kind of fill in the chair. But that aside, are
that aside? This is horseplay because JJ Reddick is the
chalk horse at this point, and back before computers at
(22:25):
the track, they would write the favorite there in chalk
at the very top the term chalk horse.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
That's what that means.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
But anyway, that's Lebron's hand picked, preferred option at coach.
It's a package deal the Lakers. From what I've heard
from people over there in Lakerland, they're so paranoid that
Lebron's gonna leave that whatever Lebron wants, they're going to
do to pacify within reason when it comes to the
coach and things like that. And so all you have
to do is hire his pompous, a hole schmucky podcast partner, okay,
(22:56):
and then Lebron will stay and all those idiots in
Hollywood will keep buying everything. I don't get that. Here's why,
Like the Lakers have they don't have fans, they have
his stories. They're idiots, right, and they'll buy those tickets
and luxury boxes and all that, no matter how embarrassing
the product is on the court.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
So what's the point. I don't get that part of it.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
But they are convinced they have to keep everything together
and all that stuff, and man, well, the key thing now,
the finals will end on Monday night, tonight, so that'll
be done, so Reddick will be free to be hired
as Laker coach by the end of the week. I
would assume he'll be hired by the end of the week.
Keep an eye on the usual idiots, the useful idiots
(23:36):
in the media that the Lakers plant stories to, and
they feed stories about what we see more propaganda about
JJ Reddick being great at this, that and the other thing,
modern marvel of coaching ride prodigy pat Riley like. Are
those stories gonna pop up? Stay tuned, all right? Final point,
We are now, believe it or not, nine days. Oh wait,
(23:59):
we are nine days away from the draft. Can you
feel the buzz in the air? No, there's no buzz.
There's now buzz in the air. The Atlanta Hawks are
on the board. The Atlanta Hawks are on the clock.
They have the first pick, In the twenty twenty four
NBA draft, everyone is focused on a player who shouldn't
even be drafted. The spawn of bron is what we're
(24:22):
talking about here now, Scrownie Bronnie James again, the focus
over the weekend. The story a couple weeks back was
Bron's kid was only going to work out for the
Lakers and Suns. And then the agent's like, well, nah,
there's been some other teams he works out for. Well,
after meeting with La and Phoenix, it turns out that's
(24:43):
all she wrote. According to the agent, Why is Bronnie James.
Why is Bronnie James unlikely to work out after initially
saying no and then saying yes his agent? Why is
Bronnie James unlikely to work out for any other teams
after visiting the Lakers and the Suns? And so this
(25:04):
is drawing class, is what this is, the little drawing class.
It is the family business. We know how this works.
It's the family business here, father son combo lebron talked
about this years ago. He wants it to happen. Why
wouldn't he want to happen? It makes sense? Why would
you not want that to happen? And Lebron though, he's
the one calling the shots here.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Not the agent. Come on, Lebron's the one calling the shots.
And this is an audible, audible audible omaha, omaha, omaha.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Or in this case, Scottsdale, Scottsdale, Scottsdale.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
They're redrawing the district it's drawing class and they're redrawing
the districts. It's market manipulation. It's wild that this is
actually happening when you consider that Scrawnie Broni averaged less
than five points a game on a bad sc basketball
team the old Pac twelve Conference, back when that was
(25:59):
a thing. Barely remember that when that was around, and
Scrownie Brownie was a backup on a sub five hundred
basketball team.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
And yet we are.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
He's the one, we're to believe that is deciding where
he will play and where he will not play.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And watch Lebron.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Right if the Sun's end up taking him, I could
see Lebron saying, Okay, you know that's a forty five
minute flight from Sky Harbor Airport and Phoenix to Van
Eys Airport where all the rich people fly into LA
and don't fly to Lax because why would you fly
into Lax.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
If you got money, you don't have to fly into Lax.
So keep an eye it.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mellor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 3 (26:39):

Speaker 2 (26:41):
To the third degree?
Speaker 3 (26:44):
This is one big fan gets grail all right approval.
Speaker 5 (26:49):
Ben former Defensive Player over the Year and former All
Pro Steffan Gilmour. Earlier this offseason, he was talking about
potentially being done with the NFL, retiring, but now he's
saying he's kind of just waiting for the right opportunity
to come his way. Do you think any opportunity will
come his way?
Speaker 3 (27:06):
No, that's what you say when your phone's not ringing.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
In the reality of the situation is if Stefan Gilmore
was of value, he would have had multiple offers. Training
GM starts in a month. NFL teams are mostly shut
down between now and training camp. People go on vacation
this time of the year and then they come back
and they start the season and the whole thing. So no,
I mean, if somebody gets hurt, he'll get a call,
but his phones there's no text messages next.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
So the Oriols are only a game and a half
behind the Yankees, but they may be in danger of
losing a third starting pitcher. They put Kyle Bradish on
the il with a UCL sprain. Then do you think
they can weather this storm?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Yes, because the baseball's marginalized starting pitchers. The Dodgers yacht
lay lost Yamamoto over the weekend to another injury. The
Orioles they got injuries. Teams are the pitchers are so fragile.
Why would you ever pay any of these guys? But yeah,
the Oriels, they got a lot of time to go
before the plus and the trade deadline is in late July,
so you can add more pitching to get hurt.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Next.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
So, Tiger Wood said he failed to make the cut
at the US Open. He said it may or may
not be his last.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Is it his last?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
No, because Tiger Woods has to hang around, right, He's
got the lifetime exemption is gonna be coming his way,
and they can't disappear.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
He'll be at the majors. How do we know he passes?
That is a way you can put.
