Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome, It's our number one.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We start with pro bouncy ball.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Here in our number one on the original recipe podcast,
Happy Juneteenth, June nineteenth, here on this Wednesday. So here
in our number one. Can you make sense of Jalen
Brown and Jason Tatum taking turns poking these Celtic critics
after Boston wins the championship. Also reports say J J.
(00:27):
Reddick was quote very impressive during Lakers interviews. Where does
that leave things?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
We'll discuss that.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
And a Golden State has an NBA high one hundred
and seventy six point nine million dollars in luxury tax
fees to pay that is blank. We'll fill in the
blank and much more right now. It's like lobster tail
in a podcast format. Here it is our number one.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It's hard to act like you've been there before if
you've never been there before. All the stories that are told,
the seas getting degrees Welcome. In the beginning of another
night of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the
air everywhere as we shoot Debreeze, traveling at the speed
(01:28):
of light, coast to coast, border, the border and beyond.
On the mast and uproarously powerful microphones of fsre emmating

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Be.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Massole Mickey likes that number d the number ten thousand.
So Willie May has passed away. That news came down.
He was in poor health. He was in his nineties.
We will talk about Willy's life and times coming up
a little bit later. But I wanted to start with
this pro bouncy ball. The day after, which is now
the day after The day after twas the title one
(02:27):
in Boston, not all quiet in the land. Just thirteen
hours after the confetti fell at the Garden, the Celtic
players and coaches bordered a private chartered flight bound for Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami.
Did they want to go hang out with Jimmy Buckets
(02:48):
in the heat now? Apparently not. They wanted to do party.
This is a shot at the nightlife in Boston that
the Celtics decided to travel to Miami. I guess it
was too far to get to Vegas in back, so
they went to Miami instead. But the seas conceivable. We
will spend a couple of nights there in South Florida
running up the booze account and then head back for
(03:09):
the championship duck boat Parade, which will be on Friday morning.
So they could even leave Friday morning if they want.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I don't have to leave Thursday. They could leave on
Friday morning.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
And so the booze is a flowing in the air
and in the belly everywhere. But the smack a root
talk continues inside the Green team, so if you know
what I mean, maybe not, I don't know if you're
paying attention to this or not. But the Celtics social
(03:39):
media they sent out a sizzle reel which is now
become common. Every once in a while, I end up
in one of these things, so that I think the
Arizona Diamondbacks last year did one when they got to
the World Series and they included to me, and there've
been a few other teams over the years they've done.
I didn't make the one with the Celtics because I
picked the Celtics. See, if you you want to get
(04:00):
in those you have to pick against the team that wins.
That's the rule there. And if you do that, sometimes
they'll put you in there, which I had no problem.
I'm fine with that. But Jason Tatum, we talked a
little bit about this in a previous episode of the show,
but I wanted to get into it again here. Jason
Tatum basking in the Celtics win by doing a couple
(04:22):
of things here which were awkward. It is kind of
a weird dude. He's good at basketball, He's a little
bit of a weirdo. So he sent Jason Tatum a
post out said what they gonna say now on social media.
That was the first thing, and he did a couple
of other things we'll get to in a second now.
(04:43):
Jalen Brown, who after the Celtics won and he was
named the most Valuable Player of the Finals, Jalen Brown
came out and said he didn't really care about the
critics and all that. Well, then Jalen Brown revealed that
the Celtics win, He went on Instagram after the Celtics
had won the day after and all that, I had
(05:03):
some time to calm down, and he shared a post
that stated eighty nine percent of the bets placed on
the NBA Finals were indeed on the Dallas basketball team
to win. Though I don't believe that is factually correct.
I believe it was the Game one matchup of the finals.
Game one, the media was pumping the tires on Luka
(05:24):
Doncic and the Mavericks, and they got most of the
bets if I remember correctly, it was not overall for
the Finals. So let us discuss the question can you
make sense of Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum taking turns
poking the critics of the Boston Celtics. So I've got Winchals,
(05:46):
Disney's Aladdin, and Treasure Chest, and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
a hangover, which is what just about every single Celtic
player we'll be dealing with. Although we have heard from
listeners to the show, if you just don't stop drinking,
you don't have to worry about having a hangover. You
(06:07):
just continue on and on. So my first thought on
this whole thing was it was cringe worthy by both
Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum, because overall the Celtics were
a humongous favorite in the NBA Finals. Most people were
picking the Celtics to win. They were the better team
(06:28):
and they were supposed to win, and that's exactly what
they did. But this whole situation with Tatum posting a
bunch of stuff and some of the things he said
after the Celtics won, and then Jaylen Brown, it really
is more for my purposes. I'm gonna make it all
about me. I'm gonna pull a Tom Looney and make
it all about me. It is validation. It's hot take
(06:49):
validation because I have been screaming from the bully pulpit
for many, many years. It is not the fan, It
is not the family. It is not the teammates. It
is not the coach that matter the most. They don't matter.
The person that matters the most is the critic. The
critic is the one that moves the needle and the
big mouth, blow hard, gas bag, whoever you want to
(07:11):
how do you want to phrase it right, any of
those terms. The one that ruffles the feathers by not
saying the thing you want them to say at the
time you want them to say it. That is the
powerful person that is the person that gets mentioned after
every championship, even when you're a presumptive favorite and all
the polling stations say you're going to win, it doesn't matter.
(07:34):
That's the spark plug, the critic. The critic is the motivator.
That's the critic. You saw after the Celtics one. The
first commercial they aired was a Nike commercial that was
in the can for Jason Tatum and the Nike marketing
people talking about proving the doubters wrong, which is the
standard fare. And had the series gone on, and Dallas
(07:57):
said one, we would have gotten a commercial with Luca
Checks saying the same crap.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
It would have been the same. All of this is a.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Trip to Winchell's or in this case, Walter Winchell, long
ago radio man Walter Winchell, who pointed out that the
same thing, the same thing happened today that happened yesterday,
only to different people. In this case, the same thing
happened this year that happened in previous years, just a
different different athletes. Like the Nuggets were doing they nobody
(08:27):
thought we could do it last year, and now it's
the Celtics turn, and next year it'll be tm X
and even when teams are big favorites like Boston, they
still do the same thing. But I want to go
back to Jason Tatum because in the case of Tatum,
he was doing a lot of copying and pasting, like
you were doing your phone, your computer whatever. He tried
to recreate right after the game. I didn't notice this
(08:48):
at the time, because you know, I don't have a
file of these things. But thank God for the internet
sluice that do so. Side by side, I watched the
video and he recreated or attempted to recreate Kevin Garnett
after the Celtics one and oh eight anything is possible,
the anything possible speech, and he did that. Tatum also
said what are they going to say?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
That was the money quote, which is the same exact
thing that Steph Curry had said when the Warriors won
in twenty twenty two and he was the MVP. So
he plagiarized Steph Curry. Now turning the pager, Let's move
away from the Celtics because the silly season is underway
in the NBA, and there are reports that say JJ
(09:29):
Reddick was quote very impressive during his recent sore An
interview with the Lakers. There so where does that leave
things at this particular point.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
The draft is coming up.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
In like a week, a little less than that, I believe,
So it's in the hands of lawyers. It's in the
hands of lawyers. Here's where we are right now with Reddick.
They're crunching the numbers and the lawyers are trying to
figure out it's like parachute shopping. I'll call like this.
The analogy is, it's like shopping for a parachute. I
don't even know where you would buy a parachute, but
(10:04):
it's like trying to buy a parachute. And the question
is how big of a golden parachute do the Lakers
want to give JJ because they're nevitely going to fire
him in a couple of year. Lebron's gonna play maybe
one or two years more and that's it, and he'll
go away and then they'll have to get rid of JJ.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Reddick.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Is the only reason they hired JJ Reddick was because
of a Lebron. But Genie Buss, if you look at
this chapter of the book, Genie Buss is like Genie
from Disney's Aladdin, and she's telling Lebron James right now Lebron.
Yet again, your wish is my command, Lebron. You want
your podcast pal to be the coach? Okay, I can
(10:43):
make that happen. Sure that'll guarantee Lebron comes back. You
can't not come back to the Lakers if your podcast
bff is the coach of the team masquerading.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
As the coach.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
We know Lebron's always the coach. Hey, you want your
kid to be a Laker. We're working on that. Yeah,
we're good, Bronny Brownie. We'll bring him in. Sure, why not.
We'll sell a few more tickets. We'll draft me shouldn't
even be drafted. We'll draft him? Why not? All right?
Last word, we now go to the bean counters department.
The numbers have been added up here on this and
(11:16):
we have been told that the Golden State basketball team
and the People's team in Los Angeles are both staring
down the barrel of the national debt. Basketball. It's not
as much as the US national debt, which is insane.
They just keep pretty money. But the NBA luxury tax
(11:36):
bills are expected to exceed what was the salary cap
in the twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four season.
Let me repeat that for those of you in the
back of the room. The Golden State franchise and the
Clips are going to have luxury tax bills that are
higher than the entire salary cap. I'm anti cap anyway.
(12:00):
The luxury tax payments for Golden State one hundred and
seventy six point nine million, and then the Clippers are
one hundred and forty two point four million. The cap
was at one hundred and thirty six million. I was
told by a program director years ago, you're never supposed
to give too many numbers out on the radio. So
I just gave a bunch of numbers. But Golden State,
let's just focus on the warriors. Golden State with an
(12:22):
NBA high luxury tax payment of almost one hundred and
seventy seven million dollars. That is blank. That is my
word for this, and I'll keep it simple. I'll keep
it simple. Is Bravo is my word. Tip of the
cap to Joe lacub and to Steve Balmer. I know
(12:44):
we're talking more about Golden State here, but to both owners.
Have may every man, woman and child, at least when
they grow up, have a boss with this kind of
treasure chest. Think of the treasure chest. This is not
a family business. It's not You don't give out that
kind of money if it's a family business. The aristocrats,
(13:06):
these guys have so much money, so much money that
they can't take it with him. This is not like
the Egyptians.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know the legend.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
I don't think it's true, but the Egyptians were buried
at legend has it with vast amounts of treasure in
the Pyramids and the tombs of Egyptian people.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Would raid them.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That's the all the movies made it seem like that happen.
I don't think it's actually true though. But the robber
Barons are blowing it. They're blowing it on their expensive toy,
their NBA team and Joe akebel in this equation, it's
hard to say a guy worth two point one billion
is a daredevil. But side by side PEPSI challenge absolute daredevil.
(13:44):
He's worth two point one billion. Steve Balmer has a
net worth of one hundred and thirty billion.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I mean, it's.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Insane, insane. He didn't invent Microsoft. He just worked for
Microsoft and he's got he left and he got one
hundred thirty billion. Now and by the way, a source
tells me that both Golden State and the Clippers still
will turn a profit even with that insane balloon payment.
(14:12):
Let that settle in. Imagine how much the other teams
are making. If they're making money even with that expense.

Vicki writes in that says Buenos Dia has been Boston
was a minus two thirty favorite to win the finals
versus Dallas to start the finals. Certainly a modest favorite.
There you go, he says, But not Hugh Muggus. They
(17:31):
were the consensus. Boston was gonna win Dallas was the
number five seed. Give me the list of number five
seeds in the past. All these things are based on comps, right,
what you've done in the past, And the reality is
that the number five seed, that's a death sentence when
you're a number five seed, the Burner account says the
(17:52):
new douchebag of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That would be Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Brian says, malod rather get to party it up in
Vegas than lowly Miami like the Celtics getting smashed and
running up a multi million dollar tab at every night
club and strip club on the strip with the boys. Now,
you gotta go to Old Vegas or downtown Vegas.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Where you gotta go. That's where it's at, not the strip.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
I mean, the strip's fine, but you gotta go to
Fremont Street in that area.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
That's where the real.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Seediness comes out in Vegas. It's it's a lot of.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
PG stuff on the on the strip.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Late night drug tester says, excellent start to the show

a hater of hockey would wish for the Stanley Cup
final then in less than seven games, And how wrong.

the last time they lost, Eddie.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
This is a situation last week and I watched that, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I watched good and I'm glad I saw the look
on the face of the Panthers. That is a team
that is freaking out Tighters momentum.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
No, there's no such thing as that's Righters better.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
That's what I'm saying in school.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
They're better three than the three. This is gonna add
to the legend of Connor McDavid if he pulls it off, Yes,
but he's still They're gonna pull the statue him in
every arena. No, he's not Eddie, No, he's.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
They had a.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Three goal lead here early in this game and the second,
but they had a three goal lead and they won
going away. There was no concern they were gonna The
Panthers pulled their golt in their panic. That great job. Yes, strategy, strategy,
dumb strategy.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
They don't have Connor McDavid. That's why.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
If they had Connor McDavid, there's a ship. No they're not,
and I can't wait for a game seven.
Speaker 8 (20:42):

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Dry Sittle didn't do anything this game and it's still
won by two. Yeah, but he's do Eddie. Yes, love averages.

Florida to more real in Canada.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Though Canadian boobs. You know, Parisian boobs you need to
look out for.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Is that in Paris?
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Parisian boobs? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Is Paris known for boobs?
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, that's where the you know, the the boot dance.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
Yes, that's the bood.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I've seen some boob dance places here in the United
there's plenty.
Speaker 2 (21:39):
In fact, not far from here, there's a few.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Yeah, back in the day.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
All right, Well, we'll continue bashing Eddie as the night
goes on, but let's say all it's not necessary.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Let's say hello to blind Scott.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
What does he want?
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know. He's called up.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
I don't know, Eddie. How do you feel about Dallas
getting in bad in the NBA finals? Aid made it
dead city? Dallas is one of the crappiest cities ever
and your your father named you after man? But how
how more pathetic could you be? Edton Dallas Garcia. Yeah,
so you're an embarrassment to Dallas.
Speaker 8 (22:15):
And guess what the embarrassed I think the Mavericks are
and I'm me I didn't do anything.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Oh hey, guess what one more thing too? The reason
why the Celtic Yeah, Steve Jobs used to say one
more thing, but the reason why the.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Celtic he doesn't say that anymore.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
What the reason why the Celtics put to Miami is
because they got big booty butts down there. They got
the biggest butts down there, like Miami. They obviously messed
up Miami down there. That place is trash, you know,
they really screwed up Miami Island down there. They cut
down all the trees and everything, so everything's flooding, you know.
But the Celtics with the other because you can cheat
on your wife down there, you know, you can have
(22:49):
sex with whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Really, is that a lot?
Speaker 5 (22:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, yeah, it was just to the war Deddie, My god,
what are we doing here? I didn't know that was
allowed with Florida. I had no idea.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
Yeah, the Celtics, a few of them went to Encore
last night. We're so fired up here in Boston. Everybody
was drinking. All the media members, they literally drank at
the garden last night until nine. That's one and they're
all stumbling someone out of there.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
This one.
Speaker 5 (23:13):
It's it's great for the city here, the businesses and everything.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Well, it's it's why now Scott Listen. It's it's an
embarrassment for the city of Boston that the Celtics win
and the first thing they do is skid daddle off
to Miami. And the weather's great in Boston. They don't
want to stay there. That's embarrassing for the people of
Boston that they go to Miami to spend.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
No, that's for the Instagram models. Are they got they can?
Speaker 1 (23:38):
They got money, they can they can fly them up.
That's what the ballers do. They fly the women up.
I know, I've seen this, that's what they do.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Well.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
There's too much traffic around here too, and the women
are actually the women are kind of ugly around here.
They're going to wear boat. I would nevitate a woman
from Quinsy or South Boston or Charlestown. Man their white trash,
those people you wouldn't have. But you'd feel like me
and Wayne in his family, you know what I mean.
Imagine going up showing up at the Fourth of July
and a cookout with Wayne's sister, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yeah, that'd be a tough one. Yeah, Wayne from Southee
and you side. I haven't heard from Wayne. Does he
still call any of the shows. I have not heard
from our guy Wayne.
Speaker 5 (24:16):
His movie career really took off. You know, he was
trying to fly on your coattails. You remember, trying to
ride on your coaches. He just used you for your
media influence, trying to get into the business, and he
ditched you.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh yeah, I think he did. He might have gotten
in the business, but he did famously have that.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
You were there. You were at that event at the
We were.
Speaker 5 (24:37):
Down the Yeah, you were ditching me with Wayne, and
then me and Wayne just hung out. After that you
ran away and then I was hanging out with that
guy Mike from Toronto.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
He was like, oh yeah, Mike from toront We remember
we took off to go see Vinnie at the hotel
and then we went.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Down and.
Speaker 5 (24:53):
Wayne with Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
You went over to smoke weed. He didn't keep up
with us.
Speaker 5 (24:58):
Yeah, head dropped my pants and I'm a commat to
go the bathroom and every guys.
Speaker 1 (25:03):

Leo there with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh boy, here he's back.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
He just he's got that championship. Or because he was
just with the Celtics as an advice and now he's
taking that to l A and you know why, because
he's into it.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
It's the into a dome in the hood in Inglewood
until they change it and name it something else.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
No, it is so but a palace. I have a
chance to actually go to the they're having the grand unveiling.
I was invited. I don't know if I'm gonna go
because it's during the day. You know, I don't do
the day, Eddie, I don't believe in doing the day.
You know, you're sleeping. I am sleeping. But I wasn't vited,
so i'm mine.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
But if it's such a great place, you would have to,
you know, forego a little sleep to see this alleged palace.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yeah, I'm thinking about it. Yeah, I might go over
there check out. I'm still I'm gonna.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
Use one of those many bathrooms.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Yeah, that so great. Thanks for pointing that out. All
those toilets. Oh god, so important urinals everyone.
Speaker 8 (27:23):
Amazing to have that as your claim to fame as
a franchise.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Final four a couple of years ago. They run la
and they have to riches. You think Clippers ed you
just worry about your terrible hockey analysis and you would
totally wrong. Submit it now, Eddie, were wrong about the
Edmonton Oilers. You thought they were going to roll over,
get in the fetal position and suck their thumbs.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
And congratulations on their backing.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
They are back. Connor McDavid is like he should win
some kind of Olympic figure skating medal.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
The guys you see that play where he.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Went through not one, not I think it was three,
three defenders for the Florida Panthers. It's amazing. Three players
were out there trying to stop he kind of that good.
That's one thing to do it in the regular season
against a second rate team, but against the team in
the Stanley Cup finally, it's a little different.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
It's kind of like.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Clayton Kershaw's great on a Tuesday night against the Padres
in June, and then you put him in the playoffs
and he pukes all over himself. So let's have some fun, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (28:26):
Fun.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Fact, I gotta do this for our many long suffering
Mariner fans. We did a Malard meet and greet in Seattle.
We had a great turnout there. It was a lot
of fun and a lot of lamenting about the sad
sacks Seattle Mariner franchise. Well, things are up, up, up
and away for the Mariners. In fact, the Seattle Mariagers
(28:50):
don't look now, but the Seattle Mariners now have a
double digit lead in the American League West. They are
running away with the American League West. The cheating ass
one one thousand and two one thousand holes and the
reigning champion Rangers are both ten games behind. Robbie the
Mariner fans Seattle Mariners. So you've got that. And Eddie
(29:12):
mentioned the Rocky Dodger game was bananas at the end
of the game, and some people.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Were like, you should have mentioned that. What didn't you mention?
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I don't think you should celebrate the fact that you
needed a seven run comeback in the night didning to
beat a team that isn't trying to win. The Colorado Rockies,
which are a joke of a franchise and an embarrassment.
But the Rockies they have the nerds have these stats
on you win percentage. They had a ninety nine point
eight percent chance to win going into the night day.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
Did that work out?
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
It's these Oh I hate that. I it's such a
stupid it doesn't matter what and people love it. Some
people that love I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
I don't. I don't get.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
We didn't grow up on that day. So for us,
it's like, it's ridiculous. You play the game, that's why
you play the game. Uh, let's go to the phones.

You talk about downgrading? And I know that the ESPN
was forced to get rid of Van Gundy. As I
understand it, NBA, the NBA people had a you know
what up there? Took us for Van Gundy. They didn't
(33:06):
like him because he actually criticized the officials. So they
hired a bunch of yes people in that Doris Burke,
who God is, thank God for the mute button. She's terrible,
Doris Burke, and then JJ Reddick, who's equally terrible. It's like,
can we find the two most annoying people. Of course,
they did hire Doc Rivers, but that didn't last because
(33:27):
