Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Welcome, It's our numb bur one of the original Recipe podcast.
We stayed up all night to provide this fresh audio content.
Shooting from the hip. We start with the pro Bouncy
Ball Draft and if you like the people from France,
(00:22):
you loved the NBA draft. The first round was last
night as Atlanta took someone named Zachary Reseisia with the
number one overall pick. We discuss that and what are
your expectations for him, Also your reaction to Bronnie James
(00:44):
being snubbed, was not picked in the first round, and
Memphis grabbed one of the few players we've heard of,
Purdue big Man and John R. Wooden Award vote winner
Zach Edie with the number nine overall pick. Will he
be an impact player for the grizz we'll talk about
that as well. It's all coming your way right now here.
It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
A French invasion. What happened? What happened to the NBA?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well come in the beginning of another night of the
Benmahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere in Unison
as we try not to bobble the ball coast to coast,
border the border and beyond on the bast and bluntly
(01:38):
powerful microphones of fs are ammating live from the steel
the steal of the first round. We are broadcasting live

Tire Buying show be in our lead this hour from
(02:14):
the Great Invasion, the hostile takeover of the pro bouncy
ball job fair. I don't know if you were watching.
I was paid to watch, otherwise I would not have
been watching. But the team from the atl city with
that great airport there, they were on the board first,
and the Hawks made their move. Who did they take?
(02:37):
Someone you've never heard of. They poached a French teenager,
Zachary Riseishe was the first pick in the draft, the
new Messiah, the new Savior of the Atlanta basketball team.
Rise Sha was the number one overall pick. He's nineteen,
(02:59):
and he is now headed to Atlanta. So let us discuss.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
This will likely be.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
The only time we talk about this cat anytime soon.
Nineteen years old, the Hawks taking the Parisian Zachary rise
She with the number one overall pick in the draft.
What are your expectations for him? So I've got perfume,
bandwidth and mister clean and we will combine all of
(03:28):
these things together and we will knock you out. We're
gonna knock you out now. I don't know if you
like me watching this NBA draft. I was struggling to
stay away. I needed to take a caffeine supplement to
stay away. My first thought on the overall draft and
(03:49):
then obviously the Hawks with the number one pick, because
we obsessed about who goes first, that Zachary. He's got
us work cut out from him. I have no expectations,
zero zippo bumpkis. I look at this guy and I'm like,
he's like Steak, but under cook. Steak needs more time
to stay in the oven. There not ready for consumption.
(04:12):
And I went on YouTube. I fell down a rabbit hole.
I was watching some of the clips of random games
in Perie that he played in and riseeshe was I
wasn't impressed. I wasn't I would like to say I was.
I couldn't get over his build. I realized people get
(04:32):
heavier and fill out their bodies as they get older.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But you draft a player number one you were.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Expecting to get he man Atlanta drafted Skeletor with the
number one overall pick. He's Spindlee. That's his build and
question mars I was reading some of the scouting reports
about his toughness and intensity, and it's always difficult when
you draft a player number one who's not all that
intense and not really into it. That's a huge red flag.
(05:00):
And I look at the guy and I'm like, Okay,
I wanted to buy in. I didn't buy in. It
looks to me like as there saying, goes just another
drug on the market.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
That for the number one overall pick, that's not great value.
It's not.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And this is the kind of guy that's a dime
a dozen in a typical NBA draft back in the
old days. I really times have changed, But in the
olden days, this cat would have been a maybe end
of the lottery, late first round pick, developmental player. You
can put him in the weight room and maybe he'll
be okay, but not in the pole position. Right and overall,
(05:39):
France joining USA USA, but France joined in the US
is the only country to have three players draft in
the top ten of the NBA Draft, and many people
on the media going crazy with that. He didn't get me,
all Tingley, I don't know about you. Now, if I
was doing the show in Paris, I would think differently.
(06:00):
I am not the first round of the NBA Draft.
Here's the way I would describe it. Unwatchable. Right, state
funded basketball media were spraying Gucci.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Perfume all over the garbage. Right, they had the high
end perfume there. It was underwhelming.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
If there was a soundtrack to the first round in
the NBA Draft, it was Elevator.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Music was who it was?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Okay, Now, continuing to slice it up, we'll get to
the Komodo dragon in the room page two.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Here, what is your reaction to.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Ronnie James not being's draft He was snubbed in the
first round.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Now, I was actually surprised. I was, And here's why.
It seemed like some strings were gonna be pulled.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Maybe I miscalculated Lebron James and his influence because following
the preamble leading up to the event, it was six
degrees of Bronnie James, the spawn of bron the greatest
backup guard to average less than five points a game,
to ever grace the NBA draft. DNA d a d NA,
(07:15):
He's got Lebron's DNA. How much bandwidth was used to
try to hypnotize and mesmerize the great unwashed with the
belief that this peasant of a basketball player is really
a prince. Well, it hasn't worked out yet. Now we
still have the second round, which will be going on
(07:36):
later on on Thursday. You have to believe that calls
are being made. Lebron will be sending text messages all night,
calling in favors to protect.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
The family name.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And this is the first, again of a two day draft,
the first two day draft, I believe in modern NBA history,
no one asked for this, but we have it. A
second round is such a it's such a dud that
they are bearing it in the dreaded afternoon television window. Now,
you normally don't put things on that people want to
(08:08):
watch in the afternoon because most people, well, it's a
live event.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
It's not like on demand. Right on demand, you watch
you whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
But the NBA Draft, you're supposed to consume the product live.
It's much like fast food. The further you get away
from it from the restaurant, the worst the food tastes.
Same concept applies for the NBA Draft. The further you
get away from it, the worse it is. And so
good luck on that. And of course we as overnight
gas bags and blowhards here.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
We will monitor. We will monitor round two, but we
will not obsessed with Round two.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Now, one other addendum, as we put a bow on
the package here on the opening round of the NBA Draft.
The last word on this Memphis grab it John R.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Wooden Award winner and the guy I voted for.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I'm sick and tired ilusion to Purdue, and maybe you're not,
but I am Purdue big man. Zach edy was the
number nine overall pick. Will he be an impact player.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
With the Griz?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
So I'm not gonna go that far impact player, No, no,
I certainly do not see that. Nevertheless, I'm gonna be
Benny Brightside. I'm pulling for the big Poutine, the Canadian
lad not as fine a Canadian ladd as are called
the cowboy John bred and Winsor Ontario, but a large mounting,
(09:37):
a large human being. Zach Edie seven foot four right now,
he's a plotter plodding along. He's never gonna have foot speed,
he's not gonna have any real lateral movement.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
That'll never be his superpower.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
But I look at him, I was like, if the
Grizzlies really want to squeeze everything out of that ability,
then Edie has the abilit to transform into a burly
bruiser and play to your strengths.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Play the hands, mom man, play that. Become mister clean. Now,
how do you become mister clean? You are the human eraser,
you're the magic eraser. You get all the rebounds, you
get those cheap points where you get the rebound, offensive rebound,
put baskets in, and you just kind of hang around
around the rim. And there's no reason that Zachie can't
(10:26):
be that kind of guy. Now, he's a defensive liability
because he has no lateral movement and everyone will run
right by him.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
But you can play his own defense in the NBA.
So in theory, you could.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Put his giant, big poutine booty in the painted area
and just to kind of have him camp out there.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
La la la la la la la la la.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
And just it doesn't really matter that much anyway. In
the modern NBA it's a pop a shot league. It's
not about going to the basket. It's about shooting three
point shots from the parking lot. That's what's more important
to the nerds, and the nerds run the NBA, and
so zach Edio. His ability to stand in the middle
there and be an intimidator, it's not gonna be that
(11:07):
important because most of the time it's just jump shots
from the outside. This show is the Ben mal Show,

Speaker 1 (13:51):
We would like to alert all the affiliates down the line.
Eddie's in a good mood.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
He was distracted by hockey, but now he can solely lock.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
In on the w NBA, and so he was a little.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Distracted last couple of weeks just of the playoffs and hockey.
But now that that's over with, it's all w NBA
all the time. So he's good to go on that.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
You're wrong?
Speaker 1 (14:12):
What's that You're wrong? How am I wrong? You're the
w NBA guy.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Oh I'm not.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But I will give you this problem show you are yes,
what I.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Will give you this part this pledge tonight, No WNBA tonight.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
It must have been no games otherwise, I don't act
like you don't.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
You know, though Ben has done more w NBA monologue
than you have, Betty on this that's very true that
he has not done any Mallard monologues on the show.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
This's not happened at all at all. Anyway, we'll take
your phone calls.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Coming up a minute mark, the full name guy screaming
about the Yankees. He's upset that I'm not doing monologues
ripping the Yankees. They've had a bad couple of weeks. Here,
he's angry. Calm down. I thought the line from Barbecuing
Lane was pretty funny. Said lebron should have changed his
son's name prior to the draft and called him lebron
A and he would have been drafted.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, that's about right right. If if Lebron A James
had said, hey, I'm from Parie, he would have been drafted.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I remember years ago, in the nineties, long time ago,
I was around basketball teams a lot, and there was
there was a running joke that certain executives loved going
to France and you know, around European countries, Italy, whatever
to scout basketball players. But mainly they just wanted a
free vacation. They weren't actually doing any scouting. They were
just there hanging out, having a nice vacation. Apparently that's
(15:39):
changed over the years. Mark the Walker says, what happened
with the draft? I tried to watch, but Adam Silver
scared the crap out of my kids and pets, so
I had.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
To turn it.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Completely understanding, completely understandable that that would happen.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, all right, who else?
Speaker 2 (15:56):
We have page down alf the alien O pinterers as
waking up to find out the Celtics draft and a
white guy that is a shocker. Yes, also the immediate
reaction steal of the draft.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Oh I can't believe they got that guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Late Night drug Tester says, starting the show talking about France,
you may as well bring up the Euro or Copa
America soccer tournament.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
They are on Fox. We better watch.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
That was.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That was in the gym and there were some dudes
really into it. It was it was on during the
day and I I didn't quite get it, Like I
wasn't like, I don't understand. Like the only soccer event
that I get into is the World Cup that I'm
supposed to say that.
Speaker 6 (16:39):
But you don't even get into that.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
What are you talking about? I pretend to get into that.
I do monologues on soccer.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
I have never heard you pretend to get into the
World Cup.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
No, I have remember the the Zusa Zayla or whatever
the thing was a couple of years ago the sound maker.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Uh yeah, that thing. Yeah, I did a deep dive
on that.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Shane Moines says a plus on the Mallard Monologue fourth
hour mal Of Monologue last night.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Oh thank you. This is with the new tax.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Money the Jags are getting and they're going to feel
the pro team this year. And are the Panthers? Are
they America's team in Florida Stanley Cup champs? I don't
know what that's all about.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Now. I did get a message from him. I'm trying
to find here.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I got a lot of messages coming in and I
wanted to mention that there's somebody binge listening. Tom who's
He admits to being a Dolphin fan, so you know
he's got issues. He says he's a Cleveland Indians fan
and a seventy six ers fan. Tom says he was
on vacation. No, no, it says Indians. He's not a
fan of the Guardians. He likes the Cleveland Indians, and
(17:42):
he doesn't like a team named after a bridge.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
He likes the old school team, Chief Wahoo and all that.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Anyway, Tom said he was on vacation last week. He's
getting ready for a thirty one episode journey at work.
He's going to binge listen to old episodes of the show,
and he says he's he's gonna listen live when he's done.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
So that's thirty one hours of content that he has
to get through it now.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
He did say he may have to skip some non
evergreen malard monologues. He might have to skip over there.
But do we ever do non evergreen malarm monologues?
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I don't know that we do.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Ivan the Terrible because he's an A hole fan, says,
let's eff and go.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
One one thousand and two. One thousand holes. America's team
is at five hundred. We are coming for you, Benny.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Go cheated Astros.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Not worry this how far that franchise has fallen, That
getting to five hundred is seen as an accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Think about that. That's how pathetic these cheating I can't
say what I want to say are.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Cowboy Drew says, regarding the NBA draft, Lebron is furious,
absolutely furious tonight. Yeah. Absolutely, Matthew Warrior Raider fan says,
is Shane in Des Moines on a twenty one hour delay,
tell that your moke to comment on the current monologue,
not yesterday's blovation.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, that's a fair point.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Now Jason is in Kansas City and he says, ten
out of ten of the mouth the monologue, the NBA
draft was definitely not must see TV.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
The Hawks pick.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Reminds me of when Andrew Bogit was drafted number one.
Not any except besides the NHL. Now Trump's the NBA
in TV ratings, so so, Jason says, Yeah, there's been
some duds in the NBA draft number one overall, but
(19:50):
this just felt maybe it's a meat problem.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I could be just in the minority in this. I
just there was nothing.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I mean, it's just a sad testament to the pathetic
state of college basketball that that's where we are. I mean,
you can go back to when the Providence Steamrollers drafted
number one overall and took the great Andy Takovic with
the first pick in the draft. There was not a
lot of interest there. I would think they Providence, by
the way, had back to back picks on the second
(20:17):
and third ever NBA drafts.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
But there have been some pretty ill stinko draft picks
over the years.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Markel Foltz was drafted number one years ago by the
seventy six ers. He can't play Anthony Bennett, the Canadian
lad from UNLV in twenty thirteen. That was another total stiff.
That was really the point of demarcation. Oh, you could
argue Andre Barnyani of Toronto when he was drafted number one,
(20:47):
he was a bit of a stiff.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
But they have been a few of them.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Kate Cunningham, he's not a super nova for the morbid
Detroit Pistons. And now you have the Parisian back to
back Parisians in the draft ball.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Last year you had Wemby, who's the real deal? And
now Zachary Riseesha the new number one pick there of
the Atlanta Hawks. So exciting, so amazing, unless less, it's not.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
Eenie Meenie miney Moe. Let's say hello to Moejoe Rising
the mode Joe is rising. Hello Modejoe, welcome, Oh great
creator of being granted one more hours to perform our
art and perfect our lives.
Speaker 7 (21:38):
We live, we die and death not.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
And how do you do in?
Speaker 7 (21:41):
Mister Ben Maller, my.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Friend, if I was any better, I would have not
watched the NBA Draft, but I did.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I watched it. I watched it.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I should get a purple heart or something like that.
Let's get prevent in sports radio.
Speaker 7 (21:55):
Yeah you really, Yeah you should. Man, I'm the same
way I kind of was. Flip them through. It is
Oh my god. It's definitely not unless c TV. That's
for darn sure.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But no, no Holet like now, Mojo resin. If you're
like in North Korea or Russia, or you're in some
some place like Siberia and Russia there, you could show
the NBA draft as torture. And I think that violates
the Geneva Convention. Showing the NBA draft of people forcing
them to watch.
Speaker 7 (22:26):
Yeah, it would be some torture. I mean, dang, it's
kind of like, you know, what are you gonna do?
I mean, yeah, the talent tool is definitely not like
it used to be in college and stuff. For these
for these NBA teams, and you know, me being a
Warriors fan out here in the Bay Area, we didn't
even have a pick actually, so it's kind of like,
you know, hey, will you just sit around and watch
(22:48):
for nothing? But you know, sports fans, that's with us,
you know, that's what us guys do.
Speaker 8 (22:52):
We Yeah, right, we got we.
Speaker 7 (22:55):
Got to watch a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Well, mojo, mojo, mojo listen.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I mean I was watching baseball when during the day
there were a lot of day games.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
On Wednesday, which was great, wonderful.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Fine, whatever, Well, yeah, if I I didn't have this job,
I would I would have you know what I would
have done.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I would have like checked in on the ticker, you know,
the draft ticker.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
And scene, Yeah, who is getting picked where? Because that's
that's all you need. You just need the names. It's
just names on a board.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
That's it. It's it's names in a box, is what
it is.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
So yeah, for sure, hey, but actually the reason that
my for my call was, you know, being I'm still
a Raider fan. You know, the autumn wind used to
be a right right out here in the Bay Area.
They used to have the mistique of the autumn wind
in Oakland, right, it was intimidating to come into the
coliseum and play the Raiders. Man, You're on the Sea
of Black and the black hole right now in Vegas. Honestly,
(23:46):
it's embarrassing because it's they have the least home advantage
in the whole league, like last year when the Niners
played there, and as a matter of fact, Kansas City
it was the Sea of Red. I mean, how embarrassing
as a Raiders fan to sit and watch that joke
in Vegas where it's like you could be the Carolina
Panthers and you can you have more fans than the
(24:07):
Raiders do. I mean, they have no home field advantage
at all anymore. It's completely embarrassing as a Raider fan.
The only reason I'm still a Raider fan is because
I have been my whole life. You know, my my
father used to yell at the screen in the seventies,
you know, for Ken's Stabler and all that stuff. So
it's built into me. I told me I'm not going
to root for the Raiders when they go to Vegas,
but I just can't. It's built ind to me. I
(24:30):
don't have any Vegas stuff. You know.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The Raiders are the one team where it's like that
doesn't matter where they play. If you're a Raider fan,
you follow the team like the Athletics are going to leave.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
You're not gonna I don't even know if you're an
Athletics fan, you're not going to follow them.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
I am, and you know, we don't even want to
get into the athletics. That's a whole story, but I'm.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Saying, but my point is you're My point is you're
not going to like when they move.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
You're that's it. You're done right.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
You're not going to pay attention to them, I would think,
because it's not that same connection the Raiders though. It's
just different, you know, because you're swaggering boisterously.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Is what you're doing. Is your face weather beaten?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
By the way, are you wearing a hooded sash?
Speaker 7 (25:08):
You know, it's funny that you mention that because you
remember before when I had originally called in, I actually
have a job. That guy that you know, he said,
oh the mojo just got a guy. He did come
through for me band. And that's why it's been hitting
or miss for me calling in, because you know, I
have to actually sleep at night and say.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
No, I'm glad.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
You're a respectful member of society. You're you're a hard
working guy. You got a job. I appreciate that. We'll
leave it there, but thank you the Mojoe Rising checking
in because the Autumn Wind is a right, dear pillaging.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Just for fun.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I'm not going to do that again. That was
a fun night though. We did the Autumn Wind. It's
in the system of Loraina, we have it. I did
my version of the Autumn Wind back in the day.
It was with Roberto Magic Magical Moments, Magical Moments on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
So I love these weasel terms.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Regarding the draft, we got another new one to add
to my big board, and this involves the aforementioned Golden
State Warriors, Right, the Golden State Warriors. There were reports
during the day on Wednesday leading into the first round
that the Warriors were quote aggressively dangling Andrew Wiggins try
to trade him. Let me repeat that for those of
(26:16):
you little slow because it's late at night. The Golden
State Wars, according to one report I read, were aggressively
dangling Andrew Wigs. So in the cartoon bubble of my head,
that means that Golden State was hanging Andrew Wiggins out
of a window on a fifteen story skyscraper and he
was just aggressively dangling, hoping that someone.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Would try to acquire him. Good luck, good luck on that.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (26:49):
So back to the NBA. We did have a bit
of news to pass along og Anenobi agreeing on a
five year, two hundred and twelve point five million dollar
deal to remain with the New York Knickerbockers, while the
Heat and Bam out to buy you agree on a
three year extension worth one hundred and sixty six million dollars.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
All right, more than that coming up. But that's not fun, Eddie,
this is fun. That's not fun. Fun fact. So the
streak has continued. It happened again. Dodgers in white Sox
Miguel Rojas. Dodgers are now he had a hit. Dodgers
are now twenty four to oh when Miguel Rojas has
at least one hit this season. That extends the longest
(27:29):
streak of team wins when a certain player has a
hit to start a season since nineteen hundred now, who
had the previous record you asked before, Miguel Rojas, This
random quirky record for most wins, most consecutive wins with
at least one hit, that would be I think this
(27:52):
guy's an iconic Dodger, Carlos Peyna in twenty ten, Carlos Payne.
You don't know who car Carlos Payn is a Tiger
guy played with the Red Sox. Bounced around Carlos Payne,
drimmer of the first basement.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
That's bad baseball knowledge.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
But Carlos Payne, you're twenty Jimmy Fox eighteen Don Drysdale.
The Dodgers won eighteen consecutive games with Drysdale getting a hit.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That was back. This is so long ago.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
They used to have pitchers actually, back before they became wooses,
and they couldn't do it anymore. So anyway, it is
the Ben Malors Show, as we continue on with have
a golden ticket.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
So let's get this out of the way. Dave is
in upstate New York. Hello Dave, Hey.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Good morning, Ben. It must there must be some monomenally
because I agree with you one hundred and ten percent
that nobody cares about the NBA Draft especially with all
these players coming from France and stuff. But I can't
believe I'm agreeing with your big Ben.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Well, finally you're coming. You've seen you've seen the light, Dave.
You've come away from the dark side where you have
been living.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You've been living in.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
A cesspool and now you've crossed the rubicon.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Good job by you, Dave.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
Well, no, no, not bad. And I still got points
I want to make with you about your momentum, but
I won't bring that up.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Well, you can't do it because you have no momentum,
so you can't make points about momentum.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
You have none.
Speaker 8 (29:23):
The only reason you don't believe in momentum because your
Clippers never win, your Dodgers always choked, and your Rams
win seldomly.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
The reason, Dave, I don't believe in momentum is because
it's not real in sports.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
It doesn't exist. It's nonsense. Again, is a tail. You
know what people?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
People let me tell you something. People that talk about momentum.
It's like the old days in the NFL, they should
test for weed and they tell you we're gonna test
for weed on the following Thursday. So if you stop
smoking weed on like Saturday. You're not gonna fail to test,
and then inevitably people would fail to t It's a
stupid test. People that talk about momentum and sports are
(30:03):
self their self incriminating themselves as morons.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
All right, so you're talking about this or you're moron.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Okay, you had no grasp of understanding anything. Okay, are
you done? That's it?
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Thank you, Hang up on yourself, go away. Let's say
hello to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre, from
the academia part of society.
Speaker 9 (30:30):
Yes, the Commonwealth, Boston, known for research and development. Also
the Sloan Analytics Conference, Darryl Moury, big and kind of
pioneering that over at MIT.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yes, Wow, sorts and Shortsville.
Speaker 9 (30:46):
Yes, you know, but we're we're in a place right now.
I'm not going to use the M words. I'm not
going to use the M word about you know, what
goes on in sports, particularly in series. Okay, but we're
at a place with this analytics and this load management
kind of on a ride, right some of the some
of the brainy acts here in the Commonwealth need to
take a big step back. And I'm coming at this
from two specific angles. First, of all the Nicks made
(31:08):
a blockbuster, trade, blockbuster out of this world bringing in
mckail bridge. I'm not going to go too deep, but
I'm over the world. Tom Thibodau my favorite coach, the
Pride is stale in state. Okay, do you want to
talk about a dude in his day? Check that up
picture of Tom Thibodau, old school Tom Thibodau with the mullet. Okay,
bodybuilder by trade, you know what I mean? And just
the dudes, dude and bringing to mckael Bridges. He doesn't miswork,
then he doesn't misswork at all. So this analytics load
(31:29):
management foolishness that you can only play a certain amount
of games or else you're gonna get hurt. How does
that worked out for Paul George? Excuse me not Paul George,
but he's been injured to But we know Kawhi Leonards
is the number one.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Look, the point is that sport, Well, you're getting it.
Andrea is back in the old days, you used to
try to test the the boundaries of the human.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Body, right, I mean that was the whole thing. He's like,
how far can you press it? And now it's like
do the bare minimum. Right, It's it's insane that that
is the attitude because people would overachieve, right, they would,
they would be able to get things done that you thought, well,
that's impossible, you can't do this. But now it's not
(32:11):
testing the limits of the human body. It's doing the
bare minimum. Throw one hundred pitches. Don't even throw a hundred,
throw eighty five. If you're a pitcher, if you're an
NBA player, you only have to play sixty five games.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
And there were people andre in.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
The NBA offended that that rule that to be eligible
for these these awards, you had to play a minimum
sixty five games.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
There were people complaining, it's it's just for Conian. That's
where we are. It's a bunch a bunch of pussy
well ows is what it is.
Speaker 9 (32:39):
Indeed, indeed, But I'm gonna get to my concluding points.
I know you've got a number of a great callers,
but you know what I mean. Tough times create strong men, right.
The strong men create the good times, and the good
times create the weakness. And that's what we have right now, specifically.
Speaker 8 (32:51):
In the NBA.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
A bunts, these crybabies on their charter jets who don't
want to show up to work over to the NBA draft,
and I kip my head on a good note. Doing
it in two specific days is awesome, trying to mirror
the NFL and get some of that kind of momentum.
Never going to be the NFL, but I like the
NFL NBA trying great with It'sacus Browny in the second day.
That's gonna still have at tension, but a lot of
zach Eadie. I'm a huge zach Eady fan. I love
(33:12):
the fact that Grilly's took a number nine. People are
losing their minds. He's a great he's a good college
basketball Player's gonna be good pro. A lot of people
are going to be eating crow. But I just like
this a number of some intrigue going on, and then
I love the fact that we have a second day
to just continue it on with the Brownie many and
Ben as always thanks taking the time.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
All right there he goes Andre in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Fergduck says, hey, Ben, who's dumber people who believe in
momentum in sports or flat earthers.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
It's a close call.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
So you're trying to get me down that rabbit hole
for a dog with the flat earth people. I'm still
getting emails from the hollow Earth. I don't hear from
the flat earthers, the hollow earth people. We did have
a guy that called for a while who was a
flat earther, but he stopped calling.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
He was a couple of months. He called the show.
Josh says, who are the French? Or so are the French?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
He says, Josh, are the French? Fam to win the
gold this summer? With Wemby and all these first round picks, I.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Have no idea. I've looked at the odds. One second,
one second, let's see a right. Well, we'll press on
time now for the who am I? Game? This is
where we pretend to be somebody else. Les's we call
it the who am I?
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Game.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
At twenty years and one.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Hundred and seven days old, Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Turio
is the youngest player to have an inside the park
home run since me. It happened in a Mattinee. I
saw Bernie Brewer go down the slide, something.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
That Vassy couldn't do.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
But anyway, At twenty years and one hundred and seven
days old, Brewers outfielder Jackson Turio became the youngest player
with an inside the park home run since me.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
This isn't all of baseball? Who Am I? The answer?
We'll get to it. We'll do it next.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
We'll pay off the who Am I? Game?
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Who momentarily have that to look forward to. I did
see a message from Mark. All of Mark's teams since
he started listening to the show have left where they played.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
The only team to stay in the Bay Area is
U is the Warriors. That's it.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Everyone else is taken off and see daddled the Raiders
in Vegas the A's, Well, the A's are going to
Sacramento for a couple of years and then eventually they'll
get to Vegas at some point down the line.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
So exciting.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
But Matt points out that the Raiders moved to Vegas
makes me understand more that it was like to be
a Charger fan, because that fan base is the ultimate
expert in hostile takeovers of their home stadium. And the
great thing you're gonna learn, Matt is it doesn't matter.
I was at the NFC Championship game a couple years back.
The Rams played the forty nine Ers. I thought I
(36:37):
was at Candlestick Park in nineteen eighty nine. There were
that many forty nine Er fans everywhere. I remembwhere I
looked I walking into the stadium, it was like I
was at a forty nine Er home game and the
Rams won that game, So it didn't matter. It's irrelevant now.
If I was a Raider fan, I would buy season
tickets to the Raiders. It is the number one in
(36:59):
vest you can make in terms of resale market because
that is the highest ticket price in the entire NFL.
That is a destination.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
People go.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
They plan their vacations on going to Vegas to watch
their team play and you can cash in cha ching Chi.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Ching Chi Ching. Time Now for the who Am I?
Speaker 4 (37:19):
Game?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
At twenty years and one hundred and seven days old,
Brewers outfielder Jackson Turio became the youngest player with an
inside the park home run since me?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Who am I? That is the question. What's the answer?
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Big Lou is going with Kobe Bryant's uncle Chubby Cox
FM picks.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
He says, Big Lou, He's on number two.
