Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, burtwo. We start out
with the controversy of the day, the soup of the day.
How do you classify JJ reddicks first full day on
the job as Laker coach, including a public denial of
something that happened years ago at Duke. Also, what do
(00:24):
you make of the Celtics not inviting Kendrick Perkins as
an alumni member to the preyde even though other members
of the eight Celtics were invited. And how do you
decode the latest developments on Charles Barkley and his television status.
Barkley announced his retirement. Kenny Smith said, maybe not. We'll
(00:45):
go there as well. All of it's coming your way
right now on a newbie night. It's our number two.
It's the hush hush story of the day. Welcome. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, hand in hand as
(01:07):
we pinky promise coast, border, the border and beyond on
the beast and blaringly powerful microphones of fs are emmnating
live from the roller as we drive the steamroller around
the old school radio dial. We're broadcasting live from the
(01:28):
tyraq dot com, Studios tyraq dot com well help you
get there, and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Calligan Tim in.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Michigan loves that number. Ten thousand tiraq dot com. The
way tire buying show would be. It's a newbie night,
so I will not be as long winded as I
normally am, but we will have plenty of new calls
and no speakeasy rules in effect all new callers. More
of that coming up in a bit, but our lead
this hour from La La Land. If you thought the
(02:06):
JJ Reddick era in Lakerland would be smooth sailing, you
are a loser.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's the hush hush story of the day. And what
is it? Have you heard? Maybe not?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Laker head coach JJ Reddick already embroiled in controversy, some say,
out of thin air.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Out of thin air.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Reddick and his reps flat out denying the claims made
by a random woman who said that Reddick used the
N word. He dropped the N word, while a member
of the Duke men's basketball team a million years ago
(02:50):
said the interaction never happened. A spokes hack for Reddick claim. Now,
the random faceless woman dropped into the chat, if you will,
proverbally speaking, and she said that back in the day,
she said, Duke Alum, she's I guess now an author.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I don't know who she is speaker. I never heard
of her.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Anyway, This nondescript person dropped the bombshell allegation on social media, claiming, quote,
I've only been called the N word to my face
by a white man once in my life, and it
was on the campus of Duke University while I was
doing work with the basketball team. And today that he
didn't say the name, but he was named the new
(03:33):
head coach of the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
She said, what a world.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So a spokeshack for Reddick told the TMZ Harvey Levin
and frames quote, no, it never happened.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So let us discuss the question, how do you classify
JJ Reddick's first full day on the job as Laker coach,
which included a very public deny, very public denial. So
I've got the Carnival Midway, the Rubicon, and neuroscience, and
(04:09):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make an empty TV. So like I
got a bunch of these TVs. We do radio, but
there's like TVs in front of me, and there's one
right in front of me that is blank. It's on
the I don't know why that is. Do we now
know how to turn the channel to something else? Not
that there's anything on really at this hour, I don't
know anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So number.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
To answer the question, how do you classify JJ Reddick's
first day as Laker coach having to issue a public
denial perfection. Chef's kiss is what I say, hitting the bullseye.
All of that. JJ Reddick is getting the red carpet welcome.
You're not in Kansas anymore, No, you're not. And right
(04:54):
away he is slap with a she said, he said situation.
Some random woman making the ultimate crime against the language
that J. J. Reddick used an nbomby dropped it out
of the plane or in this case, out of the
top rope.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Reddick.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He's settling in to the carnival midway. I hope he
enjoys the show. It's circus circus. Make your way around
the mezzanine. You've got jugglers over there to the right,
You've got trapeze artists to the left. End right in
the middle of their center stage, the human cannonball. Enjoy
all the fun. Now ask for the crux of the matter.
(05:37):
If you think critically. We point this out with lawsuits
all and this is not a lawsuit, but it's the
same concept. You can accuse anyone of anything. And unless
this woman, who I've never heard of, has some what's
known as supporting evidence, this is a burger. It's not cheeseburger,
(05:59):
it's not a vegan burger. It's a nothing burger. You
can't this is so long ago. You have to have
something else to back it up. And I don't know
if you know this, but Duke University does have a
history of some false claims being made at that school.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You might want to look that up.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And don't get me wrong, I hope jj Reddick is
as bad as I believe he will be. And I
think there's a little chance that he's going to win.
His persnickety, he's pretentious, he's a smug guy. He's just
the kind of person that you want to see fail,
the person that talks down to you, that thinks he's
better than you because he played bouncy ball as a
(06:39):
grown up and all that, and so I'm gonna keep
this on the backburn.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't think this story is gonna be much of anything.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Unless there's audio video something along those lines that pops up.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But outside of that, eh, this fades away.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Now page two, we go to Boston, where the reigning
champions of the NBA have their own issues. What do
you make of chatter that the Celtics did not did
not invite eight champ Kendrick Perkins to the parade, even
though other members of the OA team were there. The
very public figure who does local television in Boston and
(07:17):
also does the stuff at that small network out of Bristol, Connecticut,
Kendrick Perkins. So there's conflicting reports on this. Some claim
that Perkins was uninvited because he called Joe Missoula a
Dodo bird, and Jason Tatum's panties were in a bunch
because of things that Kendrick Perkins had said on television
(07:39):
about him. Now others are claiming it's just a benign situation,
it's a scheduling issue. Now I point that out because
I am told by some of our p ones in
Boston that Brian Scalabrini, who is so far up the
Lucky the Leprechauns took us that his nose is green,
Brian Scalabrini, that's how far up Lucky the Leprecauns tuck
(08:00):
as he is. But anyway, so Scalabrini, I guess it
tossed out that Perkins was not invited. He implied that
was the case. This led to a war of words
where again I'm told from some of our p ones
that listen to us on our home in Boston on
the Sports Up that Perkins called into the local show
(08:24):
with Felger and maz and I believe called called Scalabrini
a coward for not returning his phone calls. So the
question comes down to this, what do you make of it?
So I think there's something to it. And having been
around people in professional sports for a long time, they're
(08:45):
very thin skinned. Not as thin skinned as like Kevin
Durant because that's like the stream, but they're very sensitive.
They should have had Kendrick Perkins sitting on a throne
on like the biggest duck boat at that parade. If
you watch the postgame festivities in Boston when the Celtics
beat the Mavericks and they had all the players come
(09:06):
out and give statements. Every single one of those players
was like, well you didn't think we could do it.
We proved the haters wrong. Nike ran the commercial for
Jason Tatum proving the doubters wrong. Well, who's a bigger
doubter of Jason Tatum and the Celtics and then Kendrick
Perkins who questioned them. But the Celtics' that's a bad
I don't know why you would bring back the old
(09:27):
players anyway, move on, Okay, it's not about them. It's
not about the O eight Celtics. That's a different conversation,
Like this is the year of twenty twenty four. It's
it's for these players. It's not for the old players.
And you want to drag out Paul Pierce and put
his ass on a duck boat, that's fine. But I
actually think for Kendrick Perkins, this is a feather in
(09:49):
the cap and he gets a ribbon, he gets a
good job ribbon because he's crossed the rubicon, and I'll
give him credit. And I don't give a lot pro
athlete's credit because a lot of them are yes man,
and they're terrible at radio and television. Because they just
are part of the fraternal order of athletes and jockspeak,
and they just suck up to the teams they played
(10:10):
for the people that they know, and it's just horrible.
I don't know how you people listen to them, But
that said, okay, Kendrick Perkins, much like Charles Barkley, has
crossed the rubicon.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Perkins is willing to throw Haymakers.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He's not your standard ball washing ex jock that gets
into media and whether it's radio, television or podcasting. Instead,
he's willing to throw some body blows, So good.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Job by him. All right.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
A final point, and it isn't newby night, but we'll
stop off in TV land, the aforementioned TV land, because.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The round mound of rebound is he already already walking back,
walking back his very famous announcement near the end of
the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
TNT's Kenny Smith did a recent interview. Kenny Smith said
he has not heard directly from Charles Barkley that Barkley
is retiring from television. Kenny Smith said a nondescript we'll see.
He pointed out though, that at least this is what
he said. Kenny Smith that he had not been told
(11:17):
Ernie Johnson Shaquille O'Neil had not been informed by Charles
Barkley that he was indeed stepping away. Asked about the situation,
so how do you decode the latest developments on the
Charles Barkley status after he announced he's retiring. He's so
broken and beaten from TNT losing the NBA, which isn't
even official yet, they haven't announced it. TNT could get
(11:39):
some NBA games, they can match the streaming deal. I
think Apple had one of the streaming services.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I forget.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But my reaction to the Barkley thing and what Kenny
Smith had to say, it's neuroscience, right, it's Barkley's brain,
it's Charles Barkley's brain. He let the emotion get the
best of them, notion of it all, and he foe retired.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He was asked.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
And one thing about Barkley, I know some people that
are in his circle. Barkley will do just about any interview,
Like there are sports radio people call him up and
he's got like five minutes. He'll talk to just about
anybody if you get his number, and so he'll do that.
And he kept doing these interviews and he was asked
(12:24):
over and over about TNT, and he just finally had enough.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He said, that's it. I'm retiring. I'm not leaving. I'm done.
That's all. Leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So he fake retired, and when he realizes how much
money goes out every time he goes to the casino
and how much money he needs to continue to live
his lifestyle, then we expect.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Him to do the old one eighty. The U turn
there and say, yeah, I was just joking. I was
just joking. It is the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
If you'd like to comment on any of that, it

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Shane in the Moyne.
Speaker 1 (15:53):

Rob Manford, major League Baseball commissioner, is a kindish. The

to the phones. Amazing, I'm so glad I read that. Mark,
We're all dumber. Let's say hello to Kristen in so Cow.
What's going on Kristin Welcome.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
My You got to read the name wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You want you want to give you a cookie?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
No, I want to talk to you about your take
about the momentum and hell it does not apply.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You know, Yes, there is no momentum, which is good
for you because this is a very slow start to
the call.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
But I'm not worried because there's no such thing as momentum.
So you can turn moving forward with this.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're you're moving forward. Congratulations, you're moving for you not back.
You're not backing up. That's not momentum, now, whatever your
name is, that's not moment.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
From a peril standpoint, momentum is mass time.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yes, this is correct. Momentum in a snowball rolling down
the hills. Momentum a hockey team winning a game and
then more likely to win another game is bull crap.
Or a baseball team or a football team or a
basketball team. It just doesn't exist. It's an explanation for
stupid people to explain the outcome of an event.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So you're admitting you're you're admitting your you're mining. You're
admitting your stupid is what you're doing. But go ahead.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
No promised me.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Coop promised you. Then all right, well he's wrong. Let's
go to who's in Seattle? Hello Brandon?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Those are bad. That was the first bad call we've found.
Hello Brandon, what's up? Brandon?
Speaker 8 (18:09):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Man? Uh? Well, I don't want to start this car
off call off back, because momentum, I think is a
thing playing sports.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I mean, it's it's it's totally not.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
This Stanley Cup final just proved there's no sich thing
as momentum. The Panthers, they had all the momentum. They
won the first three games, then they lost the next week.
So Edmondson had all the momentum and then what happened
in game seven.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
It's just something that sports writers came up with, the
phil Space and newspapers.
Speaker 10 (18:37):
What about all those streaks. How do you get a
twenty fifteen game winning streak together, Douse, you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Play well for twenty consecutive games, not because you have momentum.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
There's no such thing as momentum. It doesn't exist.
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Then the bubble thing, I mean everybody had the same rules.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yes, and it was.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
It was.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It benefited the Lakers more than other teams because they
had an all they had an injury prone Anthony Davis
and old Lebron James, so clearly it helped them more
than other teams. They had four months off, They had
four months off. Listen if you if you don't understand
Lebron James, and he look at what he's done the
other years with the Lakers. He gets hurt, they often
(19:17):
lose in the first round. He hasn't won anything as
a Laker. The only place he hasn't won is with
the Lakers. Lebron's a loser with the Lakers. And Anthony
Davis that guy's useless.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
You're doing the Courtney love thing when you just talk
over people.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, it's called the talk show. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let's go to Avery. Who's in Vegas. I'm in no
mood for these idiots.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hello. We have our we have our usual.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Idiots to call up during the week, but now we
have new idiots this hour the last star was so good.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Hello. What's up?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Avery?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You want you want to know how I'm doing? Have
you heard the last two calls? Dumb and dumber just
called up?
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Yeah, I agree with you. Momentum what a momentum sport?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That's right, all right? What's on your mind? Avery?
Speaker 8 (20:04):

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Be careful?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Not as bad assr uh studio though?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh the cockroaches? Yeah, well I walked over there. They
cleaned up the old studio, they fix it.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Up, and you think you don't have a pet one yet.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You think they could have fixed up the studio when
we were using it all those years, but uh, it
was no, they didn't didn't fix it up at all.
But now it's all it's all nice, it's all pretty.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
So I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
I'm trying to throw my uh proverbial hat into the
ring here for a rookie Collar.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Of the Year.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You're getting a late start.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Here is a lot of competition, a lot of competition.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
For that avery. I know.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
I figured I called in on a newbie night and
just to get you my story.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Since you guys have in.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
The oh, you want to share your story.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
With us, I don't have any stories.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
We're here to make some.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Oh, we're gonna make some.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Okay, all right, well I'll put you back on holday
a thank you?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
All right? There, there you go, guys chilling out, having
some beers. Why not that sounds nice?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Join himself the heck lay tonight by himself, popping out books,
some heidikens Tuesday, why not you know, in the club
going up on a Tuesday. Here's a professional arena. It
does not need to wait till the weekend. That's where
the amateurs are on the weekend. So who goofed? I've
got to know that would be someone who designed the
(21:41):
basketball court in Eugene, Oregon. The when you think Big Ten,
you think Oregon. But the Oregon basketball team getting ready
for their first run in the Big Ten coming up
college basketball season a few months away.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I know you're excited about that.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
The University of Oregon, with much fanfair debut there brand
new basketball court ahead of their move over to the
Big Ten. And as usual, they have very over the
top design there on the court. Been doing that for
years in Eugene, so that's not really new. But there
was one small problem with the new court.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
They had the tree.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Imagery and all that on the court, so they had
that going on, not as not as powerful. They had
the big O in the middle, and then they had
what looked like at first glimpse, some ducks flying quack
quack quack quack quack.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
But it turns out that who goofed?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I've got to know the Oregon ducks on their court.
They do none of the there are eight species of ducks.
None of the ducks that are in recorded to human
history look like that. What they put on the court
are geese. They have the outline, the silhouette of geese
(23:04):
on the So does this mean now that they're going
to change their mascot from the ducks to the geese.
And how come nobody is the geese. There's no college
that say the fighting geese. What's up with that? Because
in my experience, and I want you to know that,
I am someone who has partaked in feeding of the ducks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I used to do that a lot my old Malar mansion.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And the angriest sobs are the geese, complete and total losers.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
The geese, they will chase you around and they get
very angry. The ducks, I don't really care. I've never
seen an angry duck. I haven't. I'm sure they exist.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Donald Duck is pretty angry.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, no, you're thinking of Scrooge McDuck. That's the angry one.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
No, Donald Duck. It's pissed off all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
But Scrooge McDuck is the bad guy.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't think he's not this Donald. And when you
put Donald's side side with Goofy, h Donald looks angry.
But that's because of Goofy. Because Goofy's always he's goofy.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He's got the floppy ears, the whole thing. But how
do you put a court together?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And how many people had to sign off on that
say okay, this looks good and you put geese on
the court instead of ducks.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That is just outstanding.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I love that. I love that, who goofed? And will
they bother fixing? It costs a lot of money to

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
We do have some That's big week in hockey.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
You had the Stanley Cup passed out, you got the
draft coming up on Friday, free agency starts on Monday,
and the announcement of the Hockey Hall of Fame class
of twenty twenty four. As three NHL players were inductor.
There were a couple of female players and a couple
of executives going in as well. But the three players
going in to the Hockey Hall of Fame for twenty
twenty four are defenseman Shay Weber, forward Pavel Datsuk, and
(25:53):
forward Jeremy Ronick.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Finally, Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Really yep? Yeah? Is this the time I should share
my Jeremy Ronick.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Story or I think it would be appropriate?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Wow? Have you been to the Hockey Hall of Fame?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I've never been to Toronto?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, should go.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So I've not been to the Hockey I'm not, I
was not. I never been as strong, but I did
years ago. I was at NBC in Stamford, Connecticut. I'd
fly out there every month and do like a week
of TV, and Jeremy Ronick was that That's when NBC
had the hockey and so we did like an hour
(26:32):
show and then we tossed to the hockey guys. So
in the green room we would hang out with the
hockey guys because we then had to do another show
after the hockey game, so we had like the postgame
thing after the hockey we got done with the post
game show, and Jeremy Ronick was a commentator for those
games and a very nice guy, but very quirky, like
(26:52):
he'd we'd be watching a game in the green room
and all of a sudden, Ronick would jump off the
couch and do some pushups, like just randomly.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Coop does that sometimes.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It's very bizarre, very very bizarre. But congratulations to Jeremy Ronnie.
Does he live in I think he lives in Phoenix.
Is he move I don't know where he lives. I
thought he was living in the Phoenix area. Maybe he
lives I don't know. Who cares, doesn't matter. He's a
Hall of Fame literary once, so he's not doing any
media stuff anymore.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Right, No, got he got canceled.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh you got canceled.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh okay, made a joke, made an inappropriate joke about
a coworker, a female coworker.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh, man, believable. That's it. Let him, Let him free anyway.
All right, it is the Ben Malord Show.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
As we continue on through the overnight, we will have
coming up in a couple of minutes before your dancing
and dining pleasure, we will have mallardly third degree. But
let's have some fun right now, mall fun facts putting,
putting the fun back in in facts, putting the fun
back in facts. We go to pro bouncy ball Way
(28:00):
where the stat of the day you said, well, there's
no statue. The highest percentage of field goals made that
are unassisted meeting no one passed you the ball to
set you up for this field goal. Highest percentage in
the NBA was Luka Doncik at seventy eight percent of
(28:20):
his field goals made were unassisted. Unassisted Shay Giogis Alexander
was second on that Trey Young of Atlanta, who could
be traded today. The draft is tonight in the NBA,
Trey Young was third, James Harden to the People's Team
was number four, Dame Lillard of the Bucks number five,
and on and on egos. But those are the highest
(28:41):
percentage of field goals made that were unassisted. And that
is your fun fact of the hour. Let's say hello
to Eenie Meani meaning Miney Mode. Let's hello to Anthony
who's in Hollywood. Hello Anthony, welcome.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Hello, mister Mallard. Hi, So I really enjoyed the show,
my favorite Fox show.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Oh, thank you, God, bless you. What's up?
Speaker 9 (29:05):
You missed the shot, mister mallor. You have Eddie there,
he's a hockey Wisdom Tour and this historic NHL Finals.
You didn't put him on the air enough.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And then I did two Mallard monologues on hockey, back
to back till I met, I met, I covered. I
covered hockey before you were alive.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I was there. I covered Wayne Gretzky when he played
for the Kings. What are you talking about. I don't
know hockey.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I just I do broadcasting. I do broadcasting, not narrow casting.
And there's not a broad audience for Eddie likes narrow casting.
He does w NBN hockey. That's what he does. But
I do broadcasting. If there were more people that liked hockey,
I would talk more hockey.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
There's not.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
You. You took the opportunity to talk about hockey and
dressed him down and say yes.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And I would. I was right, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Eddie spat Lougi's on Edmonton in the Western Conference finals
in the Slow Week Cup, and it's a bad job
by him.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
He put a he put.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
As VP Connor McDavid of the entire playoffs, and he's
so good.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
Eddie the loser, fantastic man.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
But no, do you understand when you say the word.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But everything that could always better, everything before, everything is alive.
He was not a cord of that guy in Texas
that called up. He said, Eddie doesn't know hockey.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Well, he said, an entire group of people don't know hockey, for.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Instance, because he's a big at Eddie.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
That's why momentum so Eddie kept going on. Eddie in
his own funny way, was never unwavering.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
He was, I pointed out, even heading into Game seven.
I said, there's no such thing as momentum. I said
it in the bottle.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
All that I I know, he said, momentum and Eddie
doesn't believe it. And Eddie, in his own way, could
Even though you say you don't believe in momentum, you
implied you believed in momentum.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's that's a you problem, not a me problem, sir,
that's a you problem. You might want to go to
an ear doctor. I recommend Costco Kirkland brand hearing aid.
My father had that. I'm probably gonna get one some day.
That's what I recommend, because clearly your hearing is not working.
If you think that I implied something that is clearly
not true.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
You missed a shot, You missed the shot. You have
a great guy in hockey.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Oh my, what do you want to get it wrong?
Why do we go over to the motel six? You
and Eddie can get a room? How about that?
Speaker 9 (31:34):
I don't want to hear about the w n b
A neither do I?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
All right, Well, we see we found common ground, Anthony.
We found common ground. We found something that we both
despise and low.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
You're you're you're hilarious. But sometimes you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Oh sometimes I am never wrong. Oh my god, I
am never wrong. I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Okay, that makes no sense. It does make sense. It's
been logic and it makes sense. All right, thank you,
and try not to use.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
The word anthony. You get a golden No, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
No, you're not allowed to get it.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
One no colorada, No, no, Lorena's not she's eating something.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Let's let's say hello to the the King of Rock.
I didn't know the King of Rock would listen to
a sports talk radio show. The King of Rock lives
in Baltimore. When you think rock, you think Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Hello, King of Rock.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Hey man, we leave the country in rocks. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
Let me tell you that kind of rock.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, that's a good line. I like that solid Yeah, man,
I got.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
More, sure, boy and the grocery store. You know, you
know I'm slowing down right now.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
They made they made they made a little TV show
about that a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you life, I this isn't all
that is cracked up to be. But anyway, you know,
you know me and DuPont were in a lawsuit, right
you know that.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I did not know that.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Now I did not, Yeah, because they stole my trademark
slogan that are living through chemistry. Now, I won't talk
to you about science because I'm here to defend my
man Mallard.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's right, defend your man Malard. Go ahead, let Edy know,
let Coop, let Lorena know. Go ahead, defend your guy Mallard.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Oh I like Loreno. All right, Oh listen, I've talked
to the best scientists in Baltimore. I'm talking about people
that are on the hottest street corners in the city.
And it's no doubt that momentum is scientific study. The
definition of momentum is momentum is only as strong as
(33:50):
the next day's starting picture.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
That's right, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
And that's the scientific fact, without a doubt.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
That's proven. We've heard that our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Because if you have if you have a stiff pitch,
you're assume you like the oils.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Maybe not, but you're in Baltimore.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
But if the oils, I didn't do five days.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, but the oils out, you know, they have their
number five starter pitching or whatever, You're not going to
probably win, you know.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Man, No, I wanted some plant weed, man, because I
got myself a house.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Oh okay, but.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
I want to take over from weed. Man, I think
I think, you know, it's like rock paper scissors, like rock,
you know, it beats, you know the paper he's rolling
and he don't need Sure.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't understand, you make more money.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It's more of a high end you know, not that
I sell street hugs, but that's more of a high
end item, I think.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
But anyway, No, not really, no, it's just yeah, it's
just you know, it's like you start on like drive
off in twenty minutes. You know, your house is like
twenty five minutes away, and then when you drive twenty
four minutes, it's like, oh, I got to go back.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
So it's good repeat business. It's good. Yeah, okay, all right,
I gotta leave it there. A king your rock. But
call I like it, call more often.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
The show's really I told Eddie in Lorraine and Coop
in our production meeting. The thing the show has been
missing as a crack dealer, and I think that that
could be our guy. So hopefully, hopefully he is. I
mean the one thing we're missing. I mean, he got
the weed covered, we got the booze cover. We just
didn't have a crack guy. And I think he could
be the guy. How lucky are we anyway. It is
(35:29):
the Ben Mahler Show. We're gonna have Mallard of a
third degree. Here is the Insta Tribune. Blank is the
current NFL's longest tenured player. He made his debut in
twenty oh nine, and he's still in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Audrey Plaza, who is forty today? I don't know who

Speaker 6 (36:59):
Just go on, move on.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
E J.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Jansen of the Carolina Fan. There's a lot slapper. He's

We got how about that.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
To the third degree?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And we don't know who he is?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
This is one thing I.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Know, Yeah, Google.
Speaker 11 (37:21):
There's some suggesting that the Clippers could give Paul George
a no trade clause in an effort to sway him
to stay in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Ben, do you think this would be a bad idea
by the Clippers? Well, first of all, I am a
numb to Paul George. If he comes back, fine, if
he leaves, I don't have a problem with that. Number Two,
the no trade claw should be for the top one
percent of players. He ain't in the top one percent
of players.
Speaker 11 (37:42):
Next, backup Texans quarterback Case Keenum recently spoke with the
media and said that it looked like Stefan Diggs hasn't
lost a step.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
In fact, he may be better than ever.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
Oh stop, Ben, do you expect an awakening for Diggs
in Houston?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
What is he the hype man for Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
That's that's what's known as offseason fluff fluffy, fluffy fluffy. No,
Stefan Diggs will do what he always does. He'll have
some really good games and then he'll fade away.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
At some point.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
There'll be some kind of whether it's real or contrived controversy.
It happened in Minnesota, it happened in Buffalo, it'll happen
in Houston.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
That is what he does.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
But there will not be a great reawakening of Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I don't buy that.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
Next, the forty nine ers so far have been hesitant
to pay Brandon Ayuk despite saying that they want him back,
and Now some are worried that the same scenario will
play out with brock Purty.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Do you think it will.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I believe they'll pay Brock Party. They've got a lot
of money to burn. Although I will tell you from
what I've heard the forty nine er people, they think
that it's their system.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
They don't think it's Brock Party.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
They think it's the genius of Shanahan and they can
put any quarterback out there.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
But they'll end up paying them. They have to. How
did we know you pass that? I'm a winner, Arena?
Speaker 4 (38:56):
I won the game.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Who
Hello and welcome. It's our name, burtwo. We start out
with the controversy of the day, the soup of the day.
How do you classify JJ reddicks first full day on
the job as Laker coach, including a public denial of
something that happened years ago at Duke. Also, what do
(00:24):
you make of the Celtics not inviting Kendrick Perkins as
an alumni member to the preyde even though other members
of the eight Celtics were invited. And how do you
decode the latest developments on Charles Barkley and his television status.
Barkley announced his retirement. Kenny Smith said, maybe not. We'll
(00:45):
go there as well. All of it's coming your way
right now on a newbie night. It's our number two.
It's the hush hush story of the day. Welcome. In
the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mather Show.
We are in the air everywhere, hand in hand as
(01:07):
we pinky promise coast, border, the border and beyond on
the beast and blaringly powerful microphones of fs are emmnating
live from the roller as we drive the steamroller around
the old school radio dial. We're broadcasting live from the
(01:28):
tyraq dot com, Studios tyraq dot com well help you
get there, and unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Calligan Tim in.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Michigan loves that number. Ten thousand tiraq dot com. The
way tire buying show would be. It's a newbie night,
so I will not be as long winded as I
normally am, but we will have plenty of new calls
and no speakeasy rules in effect all new callers. More
of that coming up in a bit, but our lead
this hour from La La Land. If you thought the
(02:06):
JJ Reddick era in Lakerland would be smooth sailing, you
are a loser.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's the hush hush story of the day. And what
is it? Have you heard? Maybe not?
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Laker head coach JJ Reddick already embroiled in controversy, some say,
out of thin air.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Out of thin air.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Reddick and his reps flat out denying the claims made
by a random woman who said that Reddick used the
N word. He dropped the N word, while a member
of the Duke men's basketball team a million years ago
(02:50):
said the interaction never happened. A spokes hack for Reddick claim. Now,
the random faceless woman dropped into the chat, if you will,
proverbally speaking, and she said that back in the day,
she said, Duke Alum, she's I guess now an author.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I don't know who she is speaker. I never heard
of her.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Anyway, This nondescript person dropped the bombshell allegation on social media, claiming, quote,
I've only been called the N word to my face
by a white man once in my life, and it
was on the campus of Duke University while I was
doing work with the basketball team. And today that he
didn't say the name, but he was named the new
(03:33):
head coach of the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
She said, what a world.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So a spokeshack for Reddick told the TMZ Harvey Levin
and frames quote, no, it never happened.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
So let us discuss the question, how do you classify
JJ Reddick's first full day on the job as Laker coach,
which included a very public deny, very public denial. So
I've got the Carnival Midway, the Rubicon, and neuroscience, and
(04:09):
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make an empty TV. So like I
got a bunch of these TVs. We do radio, but
there's like TVs in front of me, and there's one
right in front of me that is blank. It's on
the I don't know why that is. Do we now
know how to turn the channel to something else? Not
that there's anything on really at this hour, I don't
know anyway.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So number.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
To answer the question, how do you classify JJ Reddick's
first day as Laker coach having to issue a public
denial perfection. Chef's kiss is what I say, hitting the bullseye.
All of that. JJ Reddick is getting the red carpet welcome.
You're not in Kansas anymore, No, you're not. And right
(04:54):
away he is slap with a she said, he said situation.
Some random woman making the ultimate crime against the language
that J. J. Reddick used an nbomby dropped it out
of the plane or in this case, out of the
top rope.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Reddick.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
He's settling in to the carnival midway. I hope he
enjoys the show. It's circus circus. Make your way around
the mezzanine. You've got jugglers over there to the right,
You've got trapeze artists to the left. End right in
the middle of their center stage, the human cannonball. Enjoy
all the fun. Now ask for the crux of the matter.
(05:37):
If you think critically. We point this out with lawsuits
all and this is not a lawsuit, but it's the
same concept. You can accuse anyone of anything. And unless
this woman, who I've never heard of, has some what's
known as supporting evidence, this is a burger. It's not cheeseburger,
(05:59):
it's not a vegan burger. It's a nothing burger. You
can't this is so long ago. You have to have
something else to back it up. And I don't know
if you know this, but Duke University does have a
history of some false claims being made at that school.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You might want to look that up.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And don't get me wrong, I hope jj Reddick is
as bad as I believe he will be. And I
think there's a little chance that he's going to win.
His persnickety, he's pretentious, he's a smug guy. He's just
the kind of person that you want to see fail,
the person that talks down to you, that thinks he's
better than you because he played bouncy ball as a
(06:39):
grown up and all that, and so I'm gonna keep
this on the backburn.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
I don't think this story is gonna be much of anything.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Unless there's audio video something along those lines that pops up.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
But outside of that, eh, this fades away.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Now page two, we go to Boston, where the reigning
champions of the NBA have their own issues. What do
you make of chatter that the Celtics did not did
not invite eight champ Kendrick Perkins to the parade, even
though other members of the OA team were there. The
very public figure who does local television in Boston and
(07:17):
also does the stuff at that small network out of Bristol, Connecticut,
Kendrick Perkins. So there's conflicting reports on this. Some claim
that Perkins was uninvited because he called Joe Missoula a
Dodo bird, and Jason Tatum's panties were in a bunch
because of things that Kendrick Perkins had said on television
(07:39):
about him. Now others are claiming it's just a benign situation,
it's a scheduling issue. Now I point that out because
I am told by some of our p ones in
Boston that Brian Scalabrini, who is so far up the
Lucky the Leprechauns took us that his nose is green,
Brian Scalabrini, that's how far up Lucky the Leprecauns tuck
(08:00):
as he is. But anyway, so Scalabrini, I guess it
tossed out that Perkins was not invited. He implied that
was the case. This led to a war of words
where again I'm told from some of our p ones
that listen to us on our home in Boston on
the Sports Up that Perkins called into the local show
(08:24):
with Felger and maz and I believe called called Scalabrini
a coward for not returning his phone calls. So the
question comes down to this, what do you make of it?
So I think there's something to it. And having been
around people in professional sports for a long time, they're
(08:45):
very thin skinned. Not as thin skinned as like Kevin
Durant because that's like the stream, but they're very sensitive.
They should have had Kendrick Perkins sitting on a throne
on like the biggest duck boat at that parade. If
you watch the postgame festivities in Boston when the Celtics
beat the Mavericks and they had all the players come
(09:06):
out and give statements. Every single one of those players
was like, well you didn't think we could do it.
We proved the haters wrong. Nike ran the commercial for
Jason Tatum proving the doubters wrong. Well, who's a bigger
doubter of Jason Tatum and the Celtics and then Kendrick
Perkins who questioned them. But the Celtics' that's a bad
I don't know why you would bring back the old
(09:27):
players anyway, move on, Okay, it's not about them. It's
not about the O eight Celtics. That's a different conversation,
Like this is the year of twenty twenty four. It's
it's for these players. It's not for the old players.
And you want to drag out Paul Pierce and put
his ass on a duck boat, that's fine. But I
actually think for Kendrick Perkins, this is a feather in
(09:49):
the cap and he gets a ribbon, he gets a
good job ribbon because he's crossed the rubicon, and I'll
give him credit. And I don't give a lot pro
athlete's credit because a lot of them are yes man,
and they're terrible at radio and television. Because they just
are part of the fraternal order of athletes and jockspeak,
and they just suck up to the teams they played
(10:10):
for the people that they know, and it's just horrible.
I don't know how you people listen to them, But
that said, okay, Kendrick Perkins, much like Charles Barkley, has
crossed the rubicon.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Perkins is willing to throw Haymakers.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He's not your standard ball washing ex jock that gets
into media and whether it's radio, television or podcasting. Instead,
he's willing to throw some body blows, So good.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Job by him. All right.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
A final point, and it isn't newby night, but we'll
stop off in TV land, the aforementioned TV land, because.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
The round mound of rebound is he already already walking back,
walking back his very famous announcement near the end of
the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
TNT's Kenny Smith did a recent interview. Kenny Smith said
he has not heard directly from Charles Barkley that Barkley
is retiring from television. Kenny Smith said a nondescript we'll see.
He pointed out though, that at least this is what
he said. Kenny Smith that he had not been told
(11:17):
Ernie Johnson Shaquille O'Neil had not been informed by Charles
Barkley that he was indeed stepping away. Asked about the situation,
so how do you decode the latest developments on the
Charles Barkley status after he announced he's retiring. He's so
broken and beaten from TNT losing the NBA, which isn't
even official yet, they haven't announced it. TNT could get
(11:39):
some NBA games, they can match the streaming deal. I
think Apple had one of the streaming services.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
I forget.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
But my reaction to the Barkley thing and what Kenny
Smith had to say, it's neuroscience, right, it's Barkley's brain,
it's Charles Barkley's brain. He let the emotion get the
best of them, notion of it all, and he foe retired.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
He was asked.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
And one thing about Barkley, I know some people that
are in his circle. Barkley will do just about any interview,
Like there are sports radio people call him up and
he's got like five minutes. He'll talk to just about
anybody if you get his number, and so he'll do that.
And he kept doing these interviews and he was asked
(12:24):
over and over about TNT, and he just finally had enough.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
He said, that's it. I'm retiring. I'm not leaving. I'm done.
That's all. Leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So he fake retired, and when he realizes how much
money goes out every time he goes to the casino
and how much money he needs to continue to live
his lifestyle, then we expect.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Him to do the old one eighty. The U turn
there and say, yeah, I was just joking. I was
just joking. It is the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (12:55):

The sneaker Keeper.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
We begin this hour with the latest styling from JJ Reddick,
Kendrick Perkins and Kenny the Jet Smith, all doing things
interesting at least I thought were somewhat interesting, and so
we went down all of those roads. Shane in des
Moines writes in he's a non sequitor.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Shane in the Moyne.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
About Jamar Chase being a jerk from making a fan
take off the Lion jersey. We talked about that in
a previous episode of the show. Uh, he's bat job
about you. Stay with what we're doing today. Mark, the
full name guy, keeps sending random selfies. He wants to
be an internet model. Mark's is starting only fans page.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
He says.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
Rob Manford, major League Baseball commissioner, is a kindish. The
commission is a kindish. He says, all right, let's go
to the phones. Amazing, I'm so glad I read that. Mark,
We're all dumber. Let's say hello to Kristen in so Cow.
What's going on Kristin Welcome.
Speaker 8 (16:33):
My You got to read the name wrong.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You want you want to give you a cookie?
Speaker 8 (16:46):
No, I want to talk to you about your take
about the momentum and hell it does not apply.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
You know, Yes, there is no momentum, which is good
for you because this is a very slow start to
the call.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
But I'm not worried because there's no such thing as momentum.
So you can turn moving forward with this.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
You're you're moving forward. Congratulations, you're moving for you not back.
You're not backing up. That's not momentum, now, whatever your
name is, that's not moment.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
From a peril standpoint, momentum is mass time.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yes, this is correct. Momentum in a snowball rolling down
the hills. Momentum a hockey team winning a game and
then more likely to win another game is bull crap.
Or a baseball team or a football team or a
basketball team. It just doesn't exist. It's an explanation for
stupid people to explain the outcome of an event.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
So you're admitting you're you're admitting your you're mining. You're
admitting your stupid is what you're doing. But go ahead.
Speaker 9 (17:49):
No promised me.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Coop promised you. Then all right, well he's wrong. Let's
go to who's in Seattle? Hello Brandon?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Those are bad. That was the first bad call we've found.
Hello Brandon, what's up? Brandon?
Speaker 8 (18:09):
What's up?
Speaker 10 (18:09):
Man? Uh? Well, I don't want to start this car
off call off back, because momentum, I think is a
thing playing sports.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
I mean, it's it's it's totally not.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
This Stanley Cup final just proved there's no sich thing
as momentum. The Panthers, they had all the momentum. They
won the first three games, then they lost the next week.
So Edmondson had all the momentum and then what happened
in game seven.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
It doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
It's just something that sports writers came up with, the
phil Space and newspapers.
Speaker 10 (18:37):
What about all those streaks. How do you get a
twenty fifteen game winning streak together, Douse, you.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Play well for twenty consecutive games, not because you have momentum.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
There's no such thing as momentum. It doesn't exist.
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Then the bubble thing, I mean everybody had the same rules.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yes, and it was.
Speaker 9 (18:55):
It was.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
It benefited the Lakers more than other teams because they
had an all they had an injury prone Anthony Davis
and old Lebron James, so clearly it helped them more
than other teams. They had four months off, They had
four months off. Listen if you if you don't understand
Lebron James, and he look at what he's done the
other years with the Lakers. He gets hurt, they often
(19:17):
lose in the first round. He hasn't won anything as
a Laker. The only place he hasn't won is with
the Lakers. Lebron's a loser with the Lakers. And Anthony
Davis that guy's useless.
Speaker 10 (19:28):
You're doing the Courtney love thing when you just talk
over people.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, it's called the talk show. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Let's go to Avery. Who's in Vegas. I'm in no
mood for these idiots.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
Hello. We have our we have our usual.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Idiots to call up during the week, but now we
have new idiots this hour the last star was so good.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Hello. What's up?
Speaker 6 (19:45):
Avery?
Speaker 8 (19:46):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
You want you want to know how I'm doing? Have
you heard the last two calls? Dumb and dumber just
called up?
Speaker 9 (19:54):
Yeah, I agree with you. Momentum what a momentum sport?
Speaker 2 (20:01):
That's right, all right? What's on your mind? Avery?
Speaker 8 (20:04):
I'm just playing Overwatch, just listening to Ben Allen Beers.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Be careful?
Speaker 9 (20:25):
Not as bad assr uh studio though?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh the cockroaches? Yeah, well I walked over there. They
cleaned up the old studio, they fix it.
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Up, and you think you don't have a pet one yet.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
You think they could have fixed up the studio when
we were using it all those years, but uh, it
was no, they didn't didn't fix it up at all.
But now it's all it's all nice, it's all pretty.
Speaker 10 (20:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (20:44):
So I'm trying.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
I'm trying to throw my uh proverbial hat into the
ring here for a rookie Collar.
Speaker 10 (20:50):
Of the Year.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You're getting a late start.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Here is a lot of competition, a lot of competition.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
For that avery. I know.
Speaker 8 (20:57):
I figured I called in on a newbie night and
just to get you my story.
Speaker 9 (21:01):
Since you guys have in.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
The oh, you want to share your story.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
With us, I don't have any stories.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
We're here to make some.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Oh, we're gonna make some.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Okay, all right, well I'll put you back on holday
a thank you?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
All right? There, there you go, guys chilling out, having
some beers. Why not that sounds nice?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Join himself the heck lay tonight by himself, popping out books,
some heidikens Tuesday, why not you know, in the club
going up on a Tuesday. Here's a professional arena. It
does not need to wait till the weekend. That's where
the amateurs are on the weekend. So who goofed? I've
got to know that would be someone who designed the
(21:41):
basketball court in Eugene, Oregon. The when you think Big Ten,
you think Oregon. But the Oregon basketball team getting ready
for their first run in the Big Ten coming up
college basketball season a few months away.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
I know you're excited about that.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
The University of Oregon, with much fanfair debut there brand
new basketball court ahead of their move over to the
Big Ten. And as usual, they have very over the
top design there on the court. Been doing that for
years in Eugene, so that's not really new. But there
was one small problem with the new court.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
They had the tree.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Imagery and all that on the court, so they had
that going on, not as not as powerful. They had
the big O in the middle, and then they had
what looked like at first glimpse, some ducks flying quack
quack quack quack quack.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
But it turns out that who goofed?
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I've got to know the Oregon ducks on their court.
They do none of the there are eight species of ducks.
None of the ducks that are in recorded to human
history look like that. What they put on the court
are geese. They have the outline, the silhouette of geese
(23:04):
on the So does this mean now that they're going
to change their mascot from the ducks to the geese.
And how come nobody is the geese. There's no college
that say the fighting geese. What's up with that? Because
in my experience, and I want you to know that,
I am someone who has partaked in feeding of the ducks.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
I used to do that a lot my old Malar mansion.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
And the angriest sobs are the geese, complete and total losers.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
The geese, they will chase you around and they get
very angry. The ducks, I don't really care. I've never
seen an angry duck. I haven't. I'm sure they exist.
Speaker 6 (23:46):
Donald Duck is pretty angry.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, no, you're thinking of Scrooge McDuck. That's the angry one.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
No, Donald Duck. It's pissed off all the time.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
But Scrooge McDuck is the bad guy.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I don't think he's not this Donald. And when you
put Donald's side side with Goofy, h Donald looks angry.
But that's because of Goofy. Because Goofy's always he's goofy.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
He's got the floppy ears, the whole thing. But how
do you put a court together?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
And how many people had to sign off on that
say okay, this looks good and you put geese on
the court instead of ducks.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
That is just outstanding.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
I love that. I love that, who goofed? And will
they bother fixing? It costs a lot of money to
put those those courts.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Together like that.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
They do have a lot of Nike money from what
I understand though.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Oh you think, where's Nike's head quarters there? Ready down
down the road there? Yeah, Phil Phil Knight, the sneaker
keeper will get to that. We have Mallard of the
third degree coming up in a couple of minutes as well.
It's a newbie night. But right now, let's get you
cut up on everything going on in the overnight, and

Speaker 7 (25:26):
You had the Stanley Cup passed out, you got the
draft coming up on Friday, free agency starts on Monday,
and the announcement of the Hockey Hall of Fame class
of twenty twenty four. As three NHL players were inductor.
There were a couple of female players and a couple
of executives going in as well. But the three players
going in to the Hockey Hall of Fame for twenty
twenty four are defenseman Shay Weber, forward Pavel Datsuk, and
(25:53):
forward Jeremy Ronick.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Finally, Hall of Fame?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Really yep? Yeah? Is this the time I should share
my Jeremy Ronick.

Wow? Have you been to the Hockey Hall of Fame?
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I've never been to Toronto?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, should go.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So I've not been to the Hockey I'm not, I
was not. I never been as strong, but I did
years ago. I was at NBC in Stamford, Connecticut. I'd
fly out there every month and do like a week
of TV, and Jeremy Ronick was that That's when NBC
had the hockey and so we did like an hour
(26:32):
show and then we tossed to the hockey guys. So
in the green room we would hang out with the
hockey guys because we then had to do another show
after the hockey game, so we had like the postgame
thing after the hockey we got done with the post
game show, and Jeremy Ronick was a commentator for those
games and a very nice guy, but very quirky, like
(26:52):
he'd we'd be watching a game in the green room
and all of a sudden, Ronick would jump off the
couch and do some pushups, like just randomly.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
Coop does that sometimes.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
It's very bizarre, very very bizarre. But congratulations to Jeremy Ronnie.
Does he live in I think he lives in Phoenix.
Is he move I don't know where he lives. I
thought he was living in the Phoenix area. Maybe he
lives I don't know. Who cares, doesn't matter. He's a
Hall of Fame literary once, so he's not doing any
media stuff anymore.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Right, No, got he got canceled.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Oh you got canceled.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Oh okay, made a joke, made an inappropriate joke about
a coworker, a female coworker.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh, man, believable. That's it. Let him, Let him free anyway.
All right, it is the Ben Malord Show.
Speaker 1 (27:39):

let's have some fun right now, mall fun facts putting,
putting the fun back in in facts, putting the fun
back in facts. We go to pro bouncy ball Way
(28:00):
where the stat of the day you said, well, there's
no statue. The highest percentage of field goals made that
are unassisted meeting no one passed you the ball to
set you up for this field goal. Highest percentage in
the NBA was Luka Doncik at seventy eight percent of
(28:20):
his field goals made were unassisted. Unassisted Shay Giogis Alexander
was second on that Trey Young of Atlanta, who could
be traded today. The draft is tonight in the NBA,
Trey Young was third, James Harden to the People's Team
was number four, Dame Lillard of the Bucks number five,
and on and on egos. But those are the highest
(28:41):
percentage of field goals made that were unassisted. And that
is your fun fact of the hour. Let's say hello
to Eenie Meani meaning Miney Mode. Let's hello to Anthony
who's in Hollywood. Hello Anthony, welcome.
Speaker 9 (28:55):
Hello, mister Mallard. Hi, So I really enjoyed the show,
my favorite Fox show.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Oh, thank you, God, bless you. What's up?
Speaker 9 (29:05):
You missed the shot, mister mallor. You have Eddie there,
he's a hockey Wisdom Tour and this historic NHL Finals.
You didn't put him on the air enough.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
And then I did two Mallard monologues on hockey, back
to back till I met, I met, I covered. I
covered hockey before you were alive.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
I was there. I covered Wayne Gretzky when he played
for the Kings. What are you talking about. I don't
know hockey.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I just I do broadcasting. I do broadcasting, not narrow casting.
And there's not a broad audience for Eddie likes narrow casting.
He does w NBN hockey. That's what he does. But
I do broadcasting. If there were more people that liked hockey,
I would talk more hockey.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
There's not.
Speaker 9 (29:49):
You. You took the opportunity to talk about hockey and
dressed him down and say yes.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
And I would. I was right, Eddie.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Eddie spat Lougi's on Edmonton in the Western Conference finals
in the Slow Week Cup, and it's a bad job
by him.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
He put a he put.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
As VP Connor McDavid of the entire playoffs, and he's
so good.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
Eddie the loser, fantastic man.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
But no, do you understand when you say the word.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
But everything that could always better, everything before, everything is alive.
He was not a cord of that guy in Texas
that called up. He said, Eddie doesn't know hockey.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Well, he said, an entire group of people don't know hockey, for.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Instance, because he's a big at Eddie.
Speaker 9 (30:37):
That's why momentum so Eddie kept going on. Eddie in
his own funny way, was never unwavering.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
He was, I pointed out, even heading into Game seven.
I said, there's no such thing as momentum. I said
it in the bottle.
Speaker 9 (30:53):
All that I I know, he said, momentum and Eddie
doesn't believe it. And Eddie, in his own way, could
Even though you say you don't believe in momentum, you
implied you believed in momentum.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
That's that's a you problem, not a me problem, sir,
that's a you problem. You might want to go to
an ear doctor. I recommend Costco Kirkland brand hearing aid.
My father had that. I'm probably gonna get one some day.
That's what I recommend, because clearly your hearing is not working.
If you think that I implied something that is clearly
not true.
Speaker 9 (31:22):
You missed a shot, You missed the shot. You have
a great guy in hockey.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
Oh my, what do you want to get it wrong?
Why do we go over to the motel six? You
and Eddie can get a room? How about that?
Speaker 9 (31:34):
I don't want to hear about the w n b
A neither do I?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
All right, Well, we see we found common ground, Anthony.
We found common ground. We found something that we both
despise and low.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
You're you're you're hilarious. But sometimes you're wrong.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Oh sometimes I am never wrong. Oh my god, I
am never wrong. I'm not always right, but I'm never wrong.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Okay, that makes no sense. It does make sense. It's
been logic and it makes sense. All right, thank you,
and try not to use.
Speaker 6 (32:07):
The word anthony. You get a golden No, you don't know.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
No, you're not allowed to get it.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
One no colorada, No, no, Lorena's not she's eating something.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Let's let's say hello to the the King of Rock.
I didn't know the King of Rock would listen to
a sports talk radio show. The King of Rock lives
in Baltimore. When you think rock, you think Baltimore.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Hello, King of Rock.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
Hey man, we leave the country in rocks. You know
what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (32:34):
Let me tell you that kind of rock.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yeah, that's a good line. I like that solid Yeah, man,
I got.
Speaker 8 (32:44):
More, sure, boy and the grocery store. You know, you
know I'm slowing down right now.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
They made they made they made a little TV show
about that a few years ago.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you life, I this isn't all
that is cracked up to be. But anyway, you know,
you know me and DuPont were in a lawsuit, right
you know that.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
I did not know that.
Speaker 8 (33:05):
Now I did not, Yeah, because they stole my trademark
slogan that are living through chemistry. Now, I won't talk
to you about science because I'm here to defend my
man Mallard.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
That's right, defend your man Malard. Go ahead, let Edy know,
let Coop, let Lorena know. Go ahead, defend your guy Mallard.
Speaker 8 (33:27):
Oh I like Loreno. All right, Oh listen, I've talked
to the best scientists in Baltimore. I'm talking about people
that are on the hottest street corners in the city.
And it's no doubt that momentum is scientific study. The
definition of momentum is momentum is only as strong as
(33:50):
the next day's starting picture.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
That's right, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
And that's the scientific fact, without a doubt.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
That's proven. We've heard that our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
Because if you have if you have a stiff pitch,
you're assume you like the oils.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Maybe not, but you're in Baltimore.
Speaker 8 (34:06):
But if the oils, I didn't do five days.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, but the oils out, you know, they have their
number five starter pitching or whatever, You're not going to
probably win, you know.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Man, No, I wanted some plant weed, man, because I
got myself a house.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Oh okay, but.
Speaker 8 (34:23):
I want to take over from weed. Man, I think
I think, you know, it's like rock paper scissors, like rock,
you know, it beats, you know the paper he's rolling
and he don't need Sure.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
I don't understand, you make more money.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It's more of a high end you know, not that
I sell street hugs, but that's more of a high
end item, I think.
Speaker 8 (34:45):
But anyway, No, not really, no, it's just yeah, it's
just you know, it's like you start on like drive
off in twenty minutes. You know, your house is like
twenty five minutes away, and then when you drive twenty
four minutes, it's like, oh, I got to go back.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
So it's good repeat business. It's good. Yeah, okay, all right,
I gotta leave it there. A king your rock. But
call I like it, call more often.
Speaker 1 (35:08):
The show's really I told Eddie in Lorraine and Coop
in our production meeting. The thing the show has been
missing as a crack dealer, and I think that that
could be our guy. So hopefully, hopefully he is. I
mean the one thing we're missing. I mean, he got
the weed covered, we got the booze cover. We just
didn't have a crack guy. And I think he could
be the guy. How lucky are we anyway. It is
(35:29):

Speaker 2 (36:57):

Speaker 6 (36:59):
Just go on, move on.
Speaker 4 (37:00):
E J.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Jansen of the Carolina Fan. There's a lot slapper. He's
the law. You don't know your launch snappers. No guy's
been in the league. Who are like sixteen years here?
We got how about that.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
To the third degree?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And we don't know who he is?
Speaker 4 (37:16):
This is one thing I.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Know, Yeah, Google.
Speaker 11 (37:21):
There's some suggesting that the Clippers could give Paul George
a no trade clause in an effort to sway him
to stay in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Ben, do you think this would be a bad idea
by the Clippers? Well, first of all, I am a
numb to Paul George. If he comes back, fine, if
he leaves, I don't have a problem with that. Number Two,
the no trade claw should be for the top one
percent of players. He ain't in the top one percent
of players.
Speaker 11 (37:42):
Next, backup Texans quarterback Case Keenum recently spoke with the
media and said that it looked like Stefan Diggs hasn't
lost a step.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
In fact, he may be better than ever.
Speaker 11 (37:51):
Oh stop, Ben, do you expect an awakening for Diggs
in Houston?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
What is he the hype man for Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
That's that's what's known as offseason fluff fluffy, fluffy fluffy. No,
Stefan Diggs will do what he always does. He'll have
some really good games and then he'll fade away.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
At some point.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
There'll be some kind of whether it's real or contrived controversy.
It happened in Minnesota, it happened in Buffalo, it'll happen
in Houston.
Speaker 2 (38:15):
That is what he does.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
But there will not be a great reawakening of Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I don't buy that.
Speaker 11 (38:22):
Next, the forty nine ers so far have been hesitant
to pay Brandon Ayuk despite saying that they want him back,
and Now some are worried that the same scenario will
play out with brock Purty.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Do you think it will.
Speaker 9 (38:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I believe they'll pay Brock Party. They've got a lot
of money to burn. Although I will tell you from
what I've heard the forty nine er people, they think
that it's their system.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
They don't think it's Brock Party.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
They think it's the genius of Shanahan and they can
put any quarterback out there.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
But they'll end up paying them. They have to. How
did we know you pass that? I'm a winner, Arena?
Speaker 4 (38:56):
I won the game.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
