Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, shaka laka. It's our number two. Our two is
knocking on your ear drums right about now. And we
start out with wild commentary from the head coach in Milwaukee.
What is your reaction to Bucks coach Doc Rivers saying
that he's actually being short changed credit for winning three
(00:23):
games in various playoff series his teams would go on
to lose. We'll discuss that also now with Golden State.
Jimmy Butler thinks that heat culture gets too much hype
and too much credit. Thumbs up or thumbs down on
that take, and Pat Beverly, the glue guy. Pat Beverly said,
(00:44):
no one in the NBA is afraid of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What do you make of this analysis? We'll get to
all of that and more right now here. It is
our number two, a bad doctor, you could say. Welcome
in the beginning of another.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Hour of the Benmaalor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
We are in the air eywaere, that's right, like bedfellows,
as we find hidden treasures coast to coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
To moort and beyond on the vast and swaggeringly powerful
microphones of fsr ammating live from the puzzle as we
put the puzzle pieces together, broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
(01:40):
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
protection at over ten thousand recommended installs, and Kelly in
des Moines approves that number. Tire rack dot com the
way tire buying should be. I don't know if Shane
and thee mooy does I know Kelly in de moying
(02:01):
To approves that number. So our lead this hour is
from a pro bouncy ball and we go where the
stories of the day take us. This is a humdinger
of a story. We go to Milwaukee where the Bucks
are a middleweight middleweight contend They're not a real contender,
They're not like completely out of the.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Mix in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But there are very few, very few that expect Giannis
and Dame time to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to the
Promised Land this summer. Now that being said, the Milwaukee
Bucks head coach and a nemesis of mine. If you've
been listening to this show for a while, you know
(02:43):
what I'm talking about. Doc Rivers. Glenn Rivers better known
as a doc not a real doctor. Glenn Rivers, so
Doc Rivers went on the offensive against the many pundins
who have pointed out his frailties, who have critics his
performance and the fact that his teams have consistently rode
(03:06):
the vomit comet when they have gone up three games
to one in playoff series. And that is the consistent
theme of a Doc Rivers coached NBA team. So Rivers had,
as my grandfather would say, the hutzpa to brag, to
brag about never being swept in the playoffs. Well, then
(03:28):
he took it to the next level. Then he said,
hold on, let me crank it up a couple of notches.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Bam, just like that. He said.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
No one tells a real story, he said. Regarding his
coaching in the NBA, he says, I'm fine with it.
It's unfair in some ways. Booooooo, it's unfair. I don't
get enough credit. Here's the money quote from Doc Rivers.
I don't get enough credit for getting the three wins.
I get credit for losing. Doc Rivers plane, I always
(04:01):
say what if we had lost to Houston in six
referring to the Lob City Clippers that gagged away a
series to Corey Brewer and friends, and Josh Smith.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
No one cares, Doc Rivers said.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
One of the things that I am proud of is
that we've never been swept. All the coaches, Doc went
on to say, have been swept in the playoffs. My
teams achieve. Doc said, as he pulled the muscle, patting
himself on the back. A lot of them overachieve, and
I'm very proud of that period stuff. All right, So
(04:39):
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. What
is your riak shan to the Bucks coach? Doc Rivers
saying that essentially, he's being short changed here in terms
of credit, and he wants that riespect. He wants that
on his name for winning three games andvarious playoff series.
(05:01):
He ultimately would go on to lose. His teams ended
up blowing those series, but he would like to get
credit for them. So my observations, I've got root beer,
sliced bread, and Joe Rogan and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(05:21):
a Kodak moment.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's a dated reference, but just go with it, all right.
So numb number numb.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Murr, Doc Rivers is living in a parallel dimension. Does
anyone disagree with that statement. Doc Rivers is living in
a parallel dimension. Now, I realize a lot of the
basketball scribes when they interviewed Doc, they have knee pads on.
They love Doc so much. They just can't massage his
toes enough. They licked the toes. It's just they can't
get enough of Doc Rivers. So this commentary by Doc
(05:54):
Twilight Zone.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Do do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do
do do do do do Twilight Zone picture if you
will a world where you get credit for not winning
almost winning? Say what now?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I realize everything's upside down and right is wrong and
left is right and down is up, and I get
all that. It's bizarro world, But can we do this
at every other time? Like if I don't show up
and I missed like the first two segments of the show,
can I say, well, I did the rest of the show.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I mean, I was here for most of the show.
What do you expect?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, maybe I'll just take a segment off and I'll
take a nap in the back room. But I was
here for most of the show. I mean, don't I
get credit for that? Come on, now, what's wrong with you?
How great with is me? Your truck driver, listen. I
just I don't want to go that extra thousand miles.
I'm just gonna cut off to the side here and
I'll go to bed and that's that. But I did
(06:57):
do the other trip. I did the rest of the trip.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He said, No one tells the real story, and you
don't get enough credit, is what.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He doesn't get enough credit.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So I'll have what he's having. I'm pretty sure Doc
is drinking root beer. It's a and W root beer,
as in almost winning, almost winning root.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Beer and makes me want to puke in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Makes me absolutely want to puke in my mouth over
and over and over again when I hear this, and
not just my Clippers, but also the Celtics well, as
Celtics won a championship, that's true, but regularly had a
seat right in the cockpit on the vomit comet over
and over. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, that vintage of
(07:47):
the Celtics should have won at least one, if not two,
more championships. They had a five year window. They ended
up only winning one, which is still the most improbable
championship of all time. Because Doc Rivers finger prints are
all over it. And the Clippers, the Lobb City Clippers,
they didn't even make the NBA finals. They didn't even
(08:08):
make the conference finals. In the Lobb City Clipper days,
that is criminal. That team should have won at least
one championship. And the common denominator Glenn Rivers, the phony
doctor coaching malpractice from Doc Rivers. And he stands alone
at the very top the peak, the very if you
(08:30):
look up the very peak of Sucked Mountain, Doc Rivers
right there. He's looking down at us, and we're looking
up at doctor.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Hey, Doc, how you doing up there on suck Mountain?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Doc?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Dope?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You realize he's the only coach, the only one in
NBA history to have blown three three to one series leads.
He stands by himself a top suck Mountain. Wait, there's more,
Doc Rivers. Teams have lost game Game seven at home
five times.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
When I was younger, home you almost never lost at
home in a game seven that was a guaranteed win.
The road team almost never won. Doc Rivers comes along
five times. Doc Rivers coach team Game seven at home,
five of them. They've been eliminated eleven times at home altogether.
(09:26):
But wait, there's more. We're not done the numbers. I
have Doc Rivers in close out games as a coach.
His teams have played a total of fifty close out
games in the playoffs. Chance to eliminate the opponent in
advance his team is sixteen and thirty four. That's a
three to twenty winning percentage for Doc Rivers coach teams
(09:50):
and close out games to close out a series and
to advance to go to the next round. All right, now,
moving on, we go to Miami, Miami, Miami, where Tommy
Buckets is filling up the content plate.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
My man, Jimmy Buckets.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Now I realize he plays in Golden State now and
they're getting ready for an epic showdown South Florida. It's
a grudge match. Jimmy Butler returns to Miami and wearing
the Golden State uniform. So Jimmy Buckets thinks that heat
culture gets too much hype. Say what, Yeah, it gets
too much hype, and he credits success to the players
(10:27):
he said. He says, quote, I'm not saying it to
talk down or.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Anything, but.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I think whenever you have a really good player, a
really good players, you can name it whatever you want
to name it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
All right, So now with Golden State Jimmy Butler. Again
for those of you a little slow here, Jimmy Butler
thinks that heat culture gets too much hype thumbs up
or thumbs down on So I'm actually gonna go thumbs
up on this. I used to be thumbs down guy,
but now I'm going thumbs up. And let me explain
why I've evolved my position.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I'm in agreement.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
However, here's the way I will phrase it. Jimmy Butler
did use a word which is a neutron bomb of
a word.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know what the word is, starts with a bee.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But he said the word but, and you and I
both know in conversation when you say that word. And
he said, I'm not saying it to talk down to anything, but.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know what that means. That's right.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Everything a person says before the word but is a lie.
You how many times when I was dating I would
hear from a woman, you're just a great guy.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I think you're wonderful, You're so charming, but.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You're a douche. Everything before that was a lot. Everything
before that was a lie. Okay, and so but here's
the thing I remember when the Patriots when they had
the divorce of Brady and Belichick, and I stood alongside
Belichick because I thought there was actually something to the
Patriot Way, that there was something to that. And then
(12:18):
I watched them go out there and put feces all
over the field in Foxborough, and the Patriots became how
they were when I was a kid, called the Patsies.
And so I said, what happened in the Patriot Way?
What's up with that heat culture? It's gone, It's gone away.
Also like they got players that aren't very good now
in Miami, that don't that don't make big shots, and
(12:41):
suddenly heat cultures not the same. And it all it's
all cut from the same cloth, the same mindset, if
you will, where you end up when you win a lot,
as Jimmy Butler referenced here, you end up having at
least a few great players, and then surrounded by those
great players, you have the players that do the unglamorous work,
(13:05):
the grinders, if you will, no rest for the wicked,
the tough minded players, the gritty, scrappy players that get
elevated right rising tide raises all boats and all that crap.
So everyone gets risen up by the great players. And
if you think of it like sliced brand, if you
think of it like sliced bread, you take away the
elite players. Miami was Jimmy Butler, although Jimmy Butler had
(13:28):
checked out before they got rid of him and Tom
Brady with the Patriots. You take those guys away, and
you don't replace them with equal players. You don't replace
them with equal players, and then the whole thing falls
apart like a piece of wet sliced brand. Just falls apart,
just falls apart. Now, final point, My guy, the glue guy,
(13:48):
Pat Beverley will likely never play in the NBA again.
He was kicked out of the NBA and his famous
last moment wasn't it with the Bucks there when he
threw the.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Ball the fan? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
In Indiana anyway, Patrick Beverly's does what everyone else does
a podcast? If you're jock, why not do a podcast?
No one listens to them, but you might as well
do it, So Patrick Beverly, Pat goes by. Pat said,
no one in the NBA, no one is afraid of
the Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Cavaliers, is what he said. No one in the NBA
is afraid of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So what do you make of that analysis by former
NBA player Pat Beverly.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So it's not so much the calves. What you're really saying.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You're claiming that no one's afraid of the spider Spider Mitchell.
That's what that is. You're saying that Spider Mitchell, Donovan Mitchell,
is not that good. And if Donovan Mitchell was that good,
you would be afraid of Cleveland, but you're not. And
(14:56):
so you're saying that he's got that tiger blood, Donovan Mitchell.
But it's not actual tiger. It's paper tiger. He's a
paper tiger. And that's the that's the problem. Could regular
season player was on some solid regular season teams with
the Utah Jazz, yet has not consistently gotten it done
(15:18):
at a high level in a winning matter in the playoffs.
And therefore you don't get the as I like to say,
if the Joe Rogan fear factor, if you will when
you go against Cleveland, the same Boby, there's like no
one that's really.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Unbeatable in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Like the Celtics are a paper shot team and they
could go a couple of games out not making three
point shots and Oklahoma City, you don't really get scared
of that team in Cleveland, and the Lakers have old
man Lebron. They just lost to Orlando, got run off
the court by the Magic after getting run off the
court by the Bulls, they're falling apart. I fired JJ
Reddick right now if I were the Lakers. Get rid
(15:55):
of that podcast. So they're done. The Lakers are cooked.
But you look around, I mean in the entire NBA,
there's there's issues everywhere.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
There's no there's no one.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It's not like the old NBA, whereas it's guaranteed this
team's gonna at least get to the finals. There's none
of that about four or five teams and then after
that it's to toss up. It is the Benmahlor Show.

He bends blank and then I can't I know.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
It's a classic Laker hater. Can't even uh well, no,
I think there's a word missing. I feel like there's
a word missing.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Very cool. And how's life living? Is it?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
That is the capital of the biggest city in Victoria?
Speaker 2 (21:08):

Australian knowledge down pad? Is that accurate?
Speaker 4 (21:13):

And I relocated when we had the Great Grease Session
in two thousand and nine. Ben, Oh, good job.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
See you. That's a good job by you.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I in two thousand and eight, after spending many years
saving money, took the advice of a radio guy named
Tom Looney and bought a house just before the housing
market crashed.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And uh, yeah, so you went.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You went to Australia, and I am still trying to
pay off a house that is underwater. So yeah, anyway,
well welcome, I'm glad you called in.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You What part of the States did you live in
when you were in the US?
Speaker 8 (21:59):
I grew up in the Bay Area and then spent
the other part of my life in New York City.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
All right, international man, You've seen seen all over the
US and there in Australia.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Very cool. What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Well, I just wanted to say hello.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
I saw the lines were open every night, and when
I come home from work, I say I should call Ben,
and so I called and you guys picked up. I mean,
I'm looking forward to the to the baseball season, obviously,
well not obviously, but yeah, you know, to watch the
games on the extra innings. I don't really have a
lot of exciting things to city this morning, Ben, but
you know I'm a big fan hopefully i'll call again.
(22:36):
All right, well, thank you to the baseball.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All right, the baseball season and one of the games
played there, Like, are you a Giants fan?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You're from the Bay Area, are you a Giants fan?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah? I like to listen to the Giants and the
Mets and the Yanks, and I also like to listen
to the broadcasters that do the Chicago games on the radio.
So okay, the games usually come on when I start
my work day. So when I get to work around
nine nine thirty in the morning, the game start going
in from the East Coast, and then I wrap it
up towards the middle part of my work day with
(23:05):
the LST, I got the earphones on and I listened
to the games. And on a football note, before you
tick me off, I still have my season tickets to
the Jets, which I really really bought as an impulse
when they opened up that new stadium twelve years ago.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
So that's another Well, that's a.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Great that's a great investment. That's a great investment to
have Jets tickets. That's a that's when's the last when's
last time you actually went to a Jets game?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Though you live in Australia.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
That's pretty far twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, it's been over it's been almost fifteen years. All right, Well, hey,
thanks for checking in. Appreciate that. Eric, good luck anytime
we're here for you.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
All right, there's the great Eric.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Thanks for the show.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
All right, buddy, thank you for listening.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
There.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Think you that we're blowing up and Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I actually went to a social event to visit my
my brother in law and my sister in law and
we were going to have dinner and then their naighbors
came over and one of their neighbors is from Australia.
So then I tried to brag. I was like, well,
you know the show, we do the show and it's
on Australia. Didn't seem like he cared at all, didn't
(24:10):
seem like he could couldn't have cared less than he
he acted. I thought, well, I was trying to brag.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It did nothing, just nothing from the guy. And I'm like,
I didn't drop the Melbourne, but I did drop the
fact that Perth.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
We do very well in Perth, and he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
He said, wow, I'm from like a you know place
that's like thousands in the US, it would be like
going from New York to la It's the other side
of the country.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You know, that's where he's from. So he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Seem all that interested. Now let's go on, who do
we have your eeny meanie miney mo. Let's say hello
to Blind Scott who was on the.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
What their call was terrible? From the guy from Melbourne.
He calls that to go. So whenever you go to
the international line, it's usually like the worst caller ever
with that guy Butcher from Germany. For a while, he
was literally had nothing to say. This guy Eric, he's
in Melbourne, he has nothing to say. He's an American.
He could compare the city to how New York City
or San Francisco was he still he tells you he
(25:06):
has nothing to say. He says he's looking forward to
baseball season. He says he's a Jets fan. He had
season tickets to the Jets, which which makes no sense
at all. You say, in the first hour, you're getting
emails that you shouldn't be taking phone calls, which is
total crap. This is an overnight talk radio show, which
is meant for phone calls. You're getting calls from little literal.
You're getting emails from literal nobodies that are just like,
(25:27):
you know, hurt people like to hurt people, you know
what I mean. They try to hurt your feelings or whatever.
But uh, I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Just so, just for the record, you you thought the
guy that called from from Melbourg was a terrible call,
but you remembered everything he said. And you're upset because
people are contacting me complaining that I'm taking calls, including
your call, so you're bothered by them.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Pocket planning about my call. Like, there's probably like six people.
Here's the thing. They'll be taking Derrek naps pretty soon. Though.
Most of your listeners a little bit older, you know,
so Black Scout's younger. Brent, did you see that? I'm
watching the women's basketball highlights?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Here?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Do you see the USC player Phoebe Bridgers. She's hitting
like ten threes in a road or in the game.
Did you catch that?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I didn't see a second of it.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Oh yeah, yeah. I love Phoebe Bridgers. She's my favorite
women's basketball player.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And then who's your second favorite women's.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
I like to Livia Rigo, she's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Is anyone watching these games? But I don't think anyone's
watching them, You're not. You're not watching them. You're blind.
You can't watch them.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Well, here's the thing with women's sports. They really haven't
introduced it to blind people. Like I would totally be
right next to women's sports. I would be the face
of women's sports. But I'm chased away from that. That's
why I'm calling into overnight talk radio.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Okay, so it see the women, So women's sports embraced you.
You give up overnight talk radio. The Mantle was calling
overnight did job? And this is a lot. How many
hours do you stay on hold? Was it last week's
thirty hours? You stayed on hold thirty thirty five hours?
This guy stayed on hold to talk radio. I mean,
I'm thirty five hours, thirty five hours the life you
(27:00):
stayed on hold to get on talk radio.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
I got a lot of jokes too. I'm trying to
get on the air to flow with the show. I'm
listening to everything you say.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Ben.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I'm proud.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I'm proud of you though, because you didn't men Normally
I take your call near the end of the show,
and you usually mentioned Fred Toucher's name.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You didn't do it yesterday, and you haven't done it today.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
I gotta use it. I have. I gotta be on
again in the fourth hour. I have going tickets. Dude.
One more thing, don't oh.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
No, not one more thing that never goes to One
more thing never goes.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Well, no, here's the thing. People are being mean to
me on the internet. I've been that's where the internet is.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
People are mean, why do you why do you bother
with them? I get you get upset. Shane in the
Morne gets upset. Who can't. I don't even go on
there during the day unless I'm working. I stay off there.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah, I mean, I love Shane and Demant. I love
that guy. Hey, my mom though she hadn't answered my
calls in like seven days, you know, they text back
and forth. They have my dog. We caught my dad
cheating on my mom in November after he told me
never to speak to him that work, you know, And
I said, yeah, my dad, here's what was happening. My
dad like he had too much to drink. We had
gone to fight, and then my mom found them passed
(28:02):
out in the woods, like up by the hill. They
have a decent amount of acreage and my niece, who's
like ten years old is out there asking what's wrong
with them. But here's the thing, Like, if you're cheating
on somebody and you pass out from drinking, don't leave
the messages on your phone because you'll find them.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
All.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I mean, you know, married couple, they haven't had section years,
cheating is totally normal. You got to get is that.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
The proper facts is that.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
How many married men come at me?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I don't know. I'm never going to get married because
I don't trust y'all.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Really, Like, but here's the thing. Look at my parents,
like they have two kids that are blind, like and
they're still together. Most parents, it tears them apart. Like,
so here's the thing. You have a blind kid, the person.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Who else do you have a you have a brother
or someone is blind too?
Speaker 6 (28:50):
I have a sister.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Really, so it's like genetic right, you got the thing
you had?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, did you.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Skipped the generation or something?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
My dad grew up with Freddy Roach. They used to
set up a box.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, Freddie Roach was a great guess. I used to
interview Freddy Roach back in the day.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
My dad was like a sports psycho growing up, so
like I was a pretty good after my dad had.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Me, like Okay, I'm bored with you.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Let's go to Rico in Denver, speaking of board, Hello, Rico,
and this guy didn't call very often.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Hellho, Rico.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
No, I feel bad that that guy's mom's not taking
his calls, but she's taking mine.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay, Rico, Now you know Rico's whole family is doing
stand up comedy.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You don't know that, Lorena, but you're about to find
out Rico's is.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Now you don't no more stand up comedy?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Rico.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
No, I'm not really a comedian. I'm still rapping, but
I mean it just depends. And then, uh, you know,
I got my degree in in broadcasting, but I don't
have my own show yet. I put that on the
back burner because I'm going to be a professional holding
player pretty soon, so I'm put that on the back
burner for now.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Realistic bro, come on, Bro, let's talk NBA.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Bro.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Come on?
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Yeah, all right, bro.
Speaker 9 (30:04):
But our Denver Nuggets, like we won the championship a
couple of years ago, it's not happening this year. We're
We're done here. Our bench is awful. There's no way
Guys like Christian Brown, Peyton Watson, He's not going to
cut it man and okay, see I can't stand Sta
Like you look up his dance video where he's acting
all stuff. I hate that guy. He's arrible, he's overrated,
and they're gonna get smashed in the playoffs. They're not
(30:26):
going to the finals. They're going to choke. But it's
not gonna be the Nuggets either, So I don't know
who to look for. But I think the Celtics might
have the upper hand in the East. But the rest
have some good teams though even the Rockets are ball
and I didn't expect them to ball this year at all.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
Jalen Green, you can.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
Bet yeah they got the West say they have good teams.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
There's no one that's really like Wow, and no one's
really got the wow factor going in the Western Tower.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
Really, okay, see better hope guys like Lougan start don't
go down because he's a good defender. He came out
of nowhe You.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Can say that about any team, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
The injury things obvious, And the only problem I had
with Oklahoma City is they act like a like a
high school team when they all have to get around
and say, it's very unbecoming. They of have to stand
behind the sideline interview after the game, It's like.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Dude, you're professional basketball players. You're not.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
You're not that Boys and Girls club act like professionals.
Yeah yeah, by the way, Rico, and let me let
me do a live read. This portion of the show made
possible by Tractor Supply. They know that a winning season
takes practice, teamwork, and a can do attitude. Thankfully, when
you have a neighbor like Tractor Supply, teamwork comes easy.
(31:29):
Whether you're caring for pets, chickens or a few acres,
our team members will help you succeed season after season.
Tractor Supply for life out here an amazing It's an
amazing thing, right, Rico, you're shocked by that professional read.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
I thought the show was brought to you by Rico,
by me. I didn't know what's the promo for you, guys?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Its actually brought to you by Uncle Rico. Not you,
but Uncle Rico.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
You know what?
Speaker 9 (31:55):
I get that a lot about Napoleon dynamite and I
can throw the ball about sixty yards still on video.
It if you don't believe me all the time, I
don't believe that.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I don't believe ninety nine point nine percent of what
you say.
Speaker 9 (32:04):
Yay, Okay, watch I guarantee I'll tend you that video. Bro,
I can still throw the ball sixty yards. I'm an athlete.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Bro.
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Oh yeah, I'm no old guy, but I'm a big guy.
I'm a good looking guy. Just went out on a date.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Oh you did so well, but there's always tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Okay, Well, well, what was wrong? What was wrong with it?
What was wrong with the date? What happened on the day?
Why didn't go with?
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Do not see the movie Opus? That thing is creepy.
Speaker 9 (32:25):
I won't give it away, but John Alcavic is a
freak show in that and that just do not see
the movie Opus?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
What happened to the date? Why just because the movie
was bad? Or what happened?
Speaker 9 (32:35):
No, like we held hands and then when she was leaving,
like she I dropped her off of the friends and
I didn't get a kiss, so beso because she's Spanish,
so I had to speak Spanish all night, which I
can do that as well.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
So okay, so that's usually a sign she was she
wasn't into Rico. If she didn't.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
Kiss me, no basos part of me. I'm not going
to see her again. I only give girls. One chance,
that's it.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
That's right, I understand, Yes, you're very important, all right,
go away, all right?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
Rico apparently not married anymore. All right, there's our buddy, Rico.
One shot, you get one chance, one chance, that's it.
And didn't work out, and so moving on to the
next from Rico.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Just moving on, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:21):

Speaker 5 (37:52):
This is one big fan gets grail.
Speaker 7 (37:56):
Reports of Sner Sanders draft stock have been all over
the place. Some say he could fall out of the
first round completely, Others say that is unlikely to happen.
The latest reporter says he will fall no further than
the number seven pick held by the Jets. Ben, what
do you think the latest Sanders could be picked as Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
I think he will be picked in the top ten.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
But every year there's a guy that drops and it's
good television coops. So if it's Sheterer Sanders, that's great TV.
He will be drafted in the top ten. I don't
think he goes past the tent pick next.
Speaker 7 (38:24):
Now, Dyson Daniels may not be a household name. Trey
Young thinks his Hawks teammates should be a lock for
Defensive Player of the Year. Daniels just became only the
third player in the last twenty five years to record
two hundred plus steels in a season, and the youngest
player ever to do it, Ben, do you think he
should win the award?
Speaker 2 (38:41):
No, he's not gonna win the MVP Defensive Player of
the Year award.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
I think Evan Mobley of the Cavs right now, and
actually I've heard a lot of noise for Draymond Green.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
Those two guys next.
Speaker 7 (38:52):
Arizona star Caleb Love helped beat Oregon to set up
a date in the Sweet sixteen against Duke. He said,
we'll be ready for them. He beat them three years
ago playing for North Carol. Do you think he can
lead his team to an upset again?
Speaker 2 (39:02):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:03):
No, they're not going to win. It's a cute little
story for Caleb Love. What do you expect them to say?
By the way, Cooper're gonna We're not going to get it.
I mean, come on, no, it's.
Speaker 7 (39:10):
Over how we do Cooper, I felt rushed.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Yeah, that's a feeling.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I didn't make you run. You fell rushed. I didn't
encourage you to be rushed. I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
I knew the clock. I'm fine with the clock.
Boom, shaka laka. It's our number two. Our two is
knocking on your ear drums right about now. And we
start out with wild commentary from the head coach in Milwaukee.
What is your reaction to Bucks coach Doc Rivers saying
that he's actually being short changed credit for winning three
(00:23):
games in various playoff series his teams would go on
to lose. We'll discuss that also now with Golden State.
Jimmy Butler thinks that heat culture gets too much hype
and too much credit. Thumbs up or thumbs down on
that take, and Pat Beverly, the glue guy. Pat Beverly said,
(00:44):
no one in the NBA is afraid of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
What do you make of this analysis? We'll get to
all of that and more right now here. It is
our number two, a bad doctor, you could say. Welcome
in the beginning of another.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Hour of the Benmaalor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
We are in the air eywaere, that's right, like bedfellows,
as we find hidden treasures coast to coast, border.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
To moort and beyond on the vast and swaggeringly powerful
microphones of fsr ammating live from the puzzle as we
put the puzzle pieces together, broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
(01:40):
there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard
protection at over ten thousand recommended installs, and Kelly in
des Moines approves that number. Tire rack dot com the
way tire buying should be. I don't know if Shane
and thee mooy does I know Kelly in de moying
(02:01):
To approves that number. So our lead this hour is
from a pro bouncy ball and we go where the
stories of the day take us. This is a humdinger
of a story. We go to Milwaukee where the Bucks
are a middleweight middleweight contend They're not a real contender,
They're not like completely out of the.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Mix in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
But there are very few, very few that expect Giannis
and Dame time to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to the
Promised Land this summer. Now that being said, the Milwaukee
Bucks head coach and a nemesis of mine. If you've
been listening to this show for a while, you know
(02:43):
what I'm talking about. Doc Rivers. Glenn Rivers better known
as a doc not a real doctor. Glenn Rivers, so
Doc Rivers went on the offensive against the many pundins
who have pointed out his frailties, who have critics his
performance and the fact that his teams have consistently rode
(03:06):
the vomit comet when they have gone up three games
to one in playoff series. And that is the consistent
theme of a Doc Rivers coached NBA team. So Rivers had,
as my grandfather would say, the hutzpa to brag, to
brag about never being swept in the playoffs. Well, then
(03:28):
he took it to the next level. Then he said,
hold on, let me crank it up a couple of notches.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Bam, just like that. He said.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
No one tells a real story, he said. Regarding his
coaching in the NBA, he says, I'm fine with it.
It's unfair in some ways. Booooooo, it's unfair. I don't
get enough credit. Here's the money quote from Doc Rivers.
I don't get enough credit for getting the three wins.
I get credit for losing. Doc Rivers plane, I always
(04:01):
say what if we had lost to Houston in six
referring to the Lob City Clippers that gagged away a
series to Corey Brewer and friends, and Josh Smith.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
No one cares, Doc Rivers said.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
One of the things that I am proud of is
that we've never been swept. All the coaches, Doc went
on to say, have been swept in the playoffs. My
teams achieve. Doc said, as he pulled the muscle, patting
himself on the back. A lot of them overachieve, and
I'm very proud of that period stuff. All right, So
(04:39):
let us discuss the question for the esteem panel. What
is your riak shan to the Bucks coach? Doc Rivers
saying that essentially, he's being short changed here in terms
of credit, and he wants that riespect. He wants that
on his name for winning three games andvarious playoff series.
(05:01):
He ultimately would go on to lose. His teams ended
up blowing those series, but he would like to get
credit for them. So my observations, I've got root beer,
sliced bread, and Joe Rogan and we will combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(05:21):
a Kodak moment.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's a dated reference, but just go with it, all right.
So numb number numb.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Murr, Doc Rivers is living in a parallel dimension. Does
anyone disagree with that statement. Doc Rivers is living in
a parallel dimension. Now, I realize a lot of the
basketball scribes when they interviewed Doc, they have knee pads on.
They love Doc so much. They just can't massage his
toes enough. They licked the toes. It's just they can't
get enough of Doc Rivers. So this commentary by Doc
(05:54):
Twilight Zone.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Do do do do Do Do Do Do Do Do
do do do do do Twilight Zone picture if you
will a world where you get credit for not winning
almost winning? Say what now?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I realize everything's upside down and right is wrong and
left is right and down is up, and I get
all that. It's bizarro world, But can we do this
at every other time? Like if I don't show up
and I missed like the first two segments of the show,
can I say, well, I did the rest of the show.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I mean, I was here for most of the show.
What do you expect?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, maybe I'll just take a segment off and I'll
take a nap in the back room. But I was
here for most of the show. I mean, don't I
get credit for that? Come on, now, what's wrong with you?
How great with is me? Your truck driver, listen. I
just I don't want to go that extra thousand miles.
I'm just gonna cut off to the side here and
I'll go to bed and that's that. But I did
(06:57):
do the other trip. I did the rest of the trip.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
He said, No one tells the real story, and you
don't get enough credit, is what.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
He doesn't get enough credit.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So I'll have what he's having. I'm pretty sure Doc
is drinking root beer. It's a and W root beer,
as in almost winning, almost winning root.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Beer and makes me want to puke in my mouth.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Makes me absolutely want to puke in my mouth over
and over and over again when I hear this, and
not just my Clippers, but also the Celtics well, as
Celtics won a championship, that's true, but regularly had a
seat right in the cockpit on the vomit comet over
and over. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, that vintage of
(07:47):
the Celtics should have won at least one, if not two,
more championships. They had a five year window. They ended
up only winning one, which is still the most improbable
championship of all time. Because Doc Rivers finger prints are
all over it. And the Clippers, the Lobb City Clippers,
they didn't even make the NBA finals. They didn't even
(08:08):
make the conference finals. In the Lobb City Clipper days,
that is criminal. That team should have won at least
one championship. And the common denominator Glenn Rivers, the phony
doctor coaching malpractice from Doc Rivers. And he stands alone
at the very top the peak, the very if you
(08:30):
look up the very peak of Sucked Mountain, Doc Rivers
right there. He's looking down at us, and we're looking
up at doctor.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Hey, Doc, how you doing up there on suck Mountain?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Doc?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Dope?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
You realize he's the only coach, the only one in
NBA history to have blown three three to one series leads.
He stands by himself a top suck Mountain. Wait, there's more,
Doc Rivers. Teams have lost game Game seven at home
five times.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
When I was younger, home you almost never lost at
home in a game seven that was a guaranteed win.
The road team almost never won. Doc Rivers comes along
five times. Doc Rivers coach team Game seven at home,
five of them. They've been eliminated eleven times at home altogether.
(09:26):
But wait, there's more. We're not done the numbers. I
have Doc Rivers in close out games as a coach.
His teams have played a total of fifty close out
games in the playoffs. Chance to eliminate the opponent in
advance his team is sixteen and thirty four. That's a
three to twenty winning percentage for Doc Rivers coach teams
(09:50):
and close out games to close out a series and
to advance to go to the next round. All right, now,
moving on, we go to Miami, Miami, Miami, where Tommy
Buckets is filling up the content plate.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
My man, Jimmy Buckets.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Now I realize he plays in Golden State now and
they're getting ready for an epic showdown South Florida. It's
a grudge match. Jimmy Butler returns to Miami and wearing
the Golden State uniform. So Jimmy Buckets thinks that heat
culture gets too much hype. Say what, Yeah, it gets
too much hype, and he credits success to the players
(10:27):
he said. He says, quote, I'm not saying it to
talk down or.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Anything, but.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
I think whenever you have a really good player, a
really good players, you can name it whatever you want
to name it.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Close quote.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
All right, So now with Golden State Jimmy Butler. Again
for those of you a little slow here, Jimmy Butler
thinks that heat culture gets too much hype thumbs up
or thumbs down on So I'm actually gonna go thumbs
up on this. I used to be thumbs down guy,
but now I'm going thumbs up. And let me explain
why I've evolved my position.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
I'm in agreement.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
However, here's the way I will phrase it. Jimmy Butler
did use a word which is a neutron bomb of
a word.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You know what the word is, starts with a bee.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But he said the word but, and you and I
both know in conversation when you say that word. And
he said, I'm not saying it to talk down to anything, but.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know what that means. That's right.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Everything a person says before the word but is a lie.
You how many times when I was dating I would
hear from a woman, you're just a great guy.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
I think you're wonderful, You're so charming, but.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
You're a douche. Everything before that was a lot. Everything
before that was a lie. Okay, and so but here's
the thing I remember when the Patriots when they had
the divorce of Brady and Belichick, and I stood alongside
Belichick because I thought there was actually something to the
Patriot Way, that there was something to that. And then
(12:18):
I watched them go out there and put feces all
over the field in Foxborough, and the Patriots became how
they were when I was a kid, called the Patsies.
And so I said, what happened in the Patriot Way?
What's up with that heat culture? It's gone, It's gone away.
Also like they got players that aren't very good now
in Miami, that don't that don't make big shots, and
(12:41):
suddenly heat cultures not the same. And it all it's
all cut from the same cloth, the same mindset, if
you will, where you end up when you win a lot,
as Jimmy Butler referenced here, you end up having at
least a few great players, and then surrounded by those
great players, you have the players that do the unglamorous work,
(13:05):
the grinders, if you will, no rest for the wicked,
the tough minded players, the gritty, scrappy players that get
elevated right rising tide raises all boats and all that crap.
So everyone gets risen up by the great players. And
if you think of it like sliced brand, if you
think of it like sliced bread, you take away the
elite players. Miami was Jimmy Butler, although Jimmy Butler had
(13:28):
checked out before they got rid of him and Tom
Brady with the Patriots. You take those guys away, and
you don't replace them with equal players. You don't replace
them with equal players, and then the whole thing falls
apart like a piece of wet sliced brand. Just falls apart,
just falls apart. Now, final point, My guy, the glue guy,
(13:48):
Pat Beverley will likely never play in the NBA again.
He was kicked out of the NBA and his famous
last moment wasn't it with the Bucks there when he
threw the.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Ball the fan? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
In Indiana anyway, Patrick Beverly's does what everyone else does
a podcast? If you're jock, why not do a podcast?
No one listens to them, but you might as well
do it, So Patrick Beverly, Pat goes by. Pat said,
no one in the NBA, no one is afraid of
the Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Cavaliers, is what he said. No one in the NBA
is afraid of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
So what do you make of that analysis by former
NBA player Pat Beverly.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
So it's not so much the calves. What you're really saying.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You're claiming that no one's afraid of the spider Spider Mitchell.
That's what that is. You're saying that Spider Mitchell, Donovan Mitchell,
is not that good. And if Donovan Mitchell was that good,
you would be afraid of Cleveland, but you're not. And
(14:56):
so you're saying that he's got that tiger blood, Donovan Mitchell.
But it's not actual tiger. It's paper tiger. He's a
paper tiger. And that's the that's the problem. Could regular
season player was on some solid regular season teams with
the Utah Jazz, yet has not consistently gotten it done
(15:18):
at a high level in a winning matter in the playoffs.
And therefore you don't get the as I like to say,
if the Joe Rogan fear factor, if you will when
you go against Cleveland, the same Boby, there's like no
one that's really.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Unbeatable in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Like the Celtics are a paper shot team and they
could go a couple of games out not making three
point shots and Oklahoma City, you don't really get scared
of that team in Cleveland, and the Lakers have old
man Lebron. They just lost to Orlando, got run off
the court by the Magic after getting run off the
court by the Bulls, they're falling apart. I fired JJ
Reddick right now if I were the Lakers. Get rid
(15:55):
of that podcast. So they're done. The Lakers are cooked.
But you look around, I mean in the entire NBA,
there's there's issues everywhere.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
There's no there's no one.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
It's not like the old NBA, whereas it's guaranteed this
team's gonna at least get to the finals. There's none
of that about four or five teams and then after
that it's to toss up. It is the Benmahlor Show.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
See you. That's a good job by you.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
I in two thousand and eight, after spending many years
saving money, took the advice of a radio guy named
Tom Looney and bought a house just before the housing
market crashed.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
And uh, yeah, so you went.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
You went to Australia, and I am still trying to

well welcome, I'm glad you called in.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
You What part of the States did you live in
when you were in the US?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
So there you go.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
All right, international man, You've seen seen all over the
US and there in Australia.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Very cool. What's on your mind?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Well, I just wanted to say hello.
Speaker 8 (22:13):
I saw the lines were open every night, and when
I come home from work, I say I should call Ben,
and so I called and you guys picked up. I mean,
I'm looking forward to the to the baseball season, obviously,
well not obviously, but yeah, you know, to watch the
games on the extra innings. I don't really have a
lot of exciting things to city this morning, Ben, but
you know I'm a big fan hopefully i'll call again.
(22:36):
All right, well, thank you to the baseball.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
All right, the baseball season and one of the games
played there, Like, are you a Giants fan?
Speaker 2 (22:43):
You're from the Bay Area, are you a Giants fan?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Yeah? I like to listen to the Giants and the
Mets and the Yanks, and I also like to listen
to the broadcasters that do the Chicago games on the radio.
So okay, the games usually come on when I start
my work day. So when I get to work around
nine nine thirty in the morning, the game start going
in from the East Coast, and then I wrap it
up towards the middle part of my work day with
(23:05):
the LST, I got the earphones on and I listened
to the games. And on a football note, before you
tick me off, I still have my season tickets to
the Jets, which I really really bought as an impulse
when they opened up that new stadium twelve years ago.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
So that's another Well, that's a.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Great that's a great investment. That's a great investment to
have Jets tickets. That's a that's when's the last when's
last time you actually went to a Jets game?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Though you live in Australia.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
That's pretty far twenty eleven.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, it's been over it's been almost fifteen years. All right, Well, hey,
thanks for checking in. Appreciate that. Eric, good luck anytime
we're here for you.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Man.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
All right, there's the great Eric.
Speaker 8 (23:42):
Thanks for the show.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
All right, buddy, thank you for listening.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
There.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Think you that we're blowing up and Melbourne.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
I actually went to a social event to visit my
my brother in law and my sister in law and
we were going to have dinner and then their naighbors
came over and one of their neighbors is from Australia.
So then I tried to brag. I was like, well,
you know the show, we do the show and it's
on Australia. Didn't seem like he cared at all, didn't
(24:10):
seem like he could couldn't have cared less than he
he acted. I thought, well, I was trying to brag.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
It did nothing, just nothing from the guy. And I'm like,
I didn't drop the Melbourne, but I did drop the
fact that Perth.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
We do very well in Perth, and he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
He said, wow, I'm from like a you know place
that's like thousands in the US, it would be like
going from New York to la It's the other side
of the country.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
You know, that's where he's from. So he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Seem all that interested. Now let's go on, who do
we have your eeny meanie miney mo. Let's say hello
to Blind Scott who was on the.
Speaker 6 (24:46):
What their call was terrible? From the guy from Melbourne.
He calls that to go. So whenever you go to
the international line, it's usually like the worst caller ever
with that guy Butcher from Germany. For a while, he
was literally had nothing to say. This guy Eric, he's
in Melbourne, he has nothing to say. He's an American.
He could compare the city to how New York City
or San Francisco was he still he tells you he
(25:06):
has nothing to say. He says he's looking forward to
baseball season. He says he's a Jets fan. He had
season tickets to the Jets, which which makes no sense
at all. You say, in the first hour, you're getting
emails that you shouldn't be taking phone calls, which is
total crap. This is an overnight talk radio show, which
is meant for phone calls. You're getting calls from little literal.
You're getting emails from literal nobodies that are just like,
(25:27):
you know, hurt people like to hurt people, you know
what I mean. They try to hurt your feelings or whatever.
But uh, I love it.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Just so, just for the record, you you thought the
guy that called from from Melbourg was a terrible call,
but you remembered everything he said. And you're upset because
people are contacting me complaining that I'm taking calls, including
your call, so you're bothered by them.
Speaker 6 (25:48):
Pocket planning about my call. Like, there's probably like six people.
Here's the thing. They'll be taking Derrek naps pretty soon. Though.
Most of your listeners a little bit older, you know,
so Black Scout's younger. Brent, did you see that? I'm
watching the women's basketball highlights?
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Here?
Speaker 6 (26:03):
Do you see the USC player Phoebe Bridgers. She's hitting
like ten threes in a road or in the game.
Did you catch that?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
No?
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I didn't see a second of it.
Speaker 6 (26:12):
Oh yeah, yeah. I love Phoebe Bridgers. She's my favorite
women's basketball player.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And then who's your second favorite women's.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
I like to Livia Rigo, she's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Is anyone watching these games? But I don't think anyone's
watching them, You're not. You're not watching them. You're blind.
You can't watch them.
Speaker 6 (26:27):
Well, here's the thing with women's sports. They really haven't
introduced it to blind people. Like I would totally be
right next to women's sports. I would be the face
of women's sports. But I'm chased away from that. That's
why I'm calling into overnight talk radio.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Okay, so it see the women, So women's sports embraced you.
You give up overnight talk radio. The Mantle was calling
overnight did job? And this is a lot. How many
hours do you stay on hold? Was it last week's
thirty hours? You stayed on hold thirty thirty five hours?
This guy stayed on hold to talk radio. I mean,
I'm thirty five hours, thirty five hours the life you
(27:00):
stayed on hold to get on talk radio.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
I got a lot of jokes too. I'm trying to
get on the air to flow with the show. I'm
listening to everything you say.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Ben.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
I'm proud.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I'm proud of you though, because you didn't men Normally
I take your call near the end of the show,
and you usually mentioned Fred Toucher's name.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
You didn't do it yesterday, and you haven't done it today.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
I gotta use it. I have. I gotta be on
again in the fourth hour. I have going tickets. Dude.
One more thing, don't oh.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
No, not one more thing that never goes to One
more thing never goes.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Well, no, here's the thing. People are being mean to
me on the internet. I've been that's where the internet is.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
People are mean, why do you why do you bother
with them? I get you get upset. Shane in the
Morne gets upset. Who can't. I don't even go on
there during the day unless I'm working. I stay off there.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Yeah, I mean, I love Shane and Demant. I love
that guy. Hey, my mom though she hadn't answered my
calls in like seven days, you know, they text back
and forth. They have my dog. We caught my dad
cheating on my mom in November after he told me
never to speak to him that work, you know, And
I said, yeah, my dad, here's what was happening. My
dad like he had too much to drink. We had
gone to fight, and then my mom found them passed
(28:02):
out in the woods, like up by the hill. They
have a decent amount of acreage and my niece, who's
like ten years old is out there asking what's wrong
with them. But here's the thing, Like, if you're cheating
on somebody and you pass out from drinking, don't leave
the messages on your phone because you'll find them.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
All.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I mean, you know, married couple, they haven't had section years,
cheating is totally normal. You got to get is that.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
The proper facts is that.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
How many married men come at me?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I don't know. I'm never going to get married because
I don't trust y'all.
Speaker 6 (28:36):
Really, Like, but here's the thing. Look at my parents,
like they have two kids that are blind, like and
they're still together. Most parents, it tears them apart. Like,
so here's the thing. You have a blind kid, the person.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Who else do you have a you have a brother
or someone is blind too?
Speaker 6 (28:50):
I have a sister.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
Really, so it's like genetic right, you got the thing
you had?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, did you.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Skipped the generation or something?
Speaker 4 (29:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (29:01):
My dad grew up with Freddy Roach. They used to
set up a box.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh, Freddie Roach was a great guess. I used to
interview Freddy Roach back in the day.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
My dad was like a sports psycho growing up, so
like I was a pretty good after my dad had.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Me, like Okay, I'm bored with you.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Let's go to Rico in Denver, speaking of board, Hello, Rico,

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Hellho, Rico.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
No, I feel bad that that guy's mom's not taking
his calls, but she's taking mine.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Okay, Rico, Now you know Rico's whole family is doing
stand up comedy.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
You don't know that, Lorena, but you're about to find
out Rico's is.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Now you don't no more stand up comedy?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Rico.
Speaker 9 (29:42):
No, I'm not really a comedian. I'm still rapping, but
I mean it just depends. And then, uh, you know,
I got my degree in in broadcasting, but I don't
have my own show yet. I put that on the
back burner because I'm going to be a professional holding
player pretty soon, so I'm put that on the back
burner for now.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Realistic bro, come on, Bro, let's talk NBA.
Speaker 5 (30:02):

But our Denver Nuggets, like we won the championship a
couple of years ago, it's not happening this year. We're
We're done here. Our bench is awful. There's no way
Guys like Christian Brown, Peyton Watson, He's not going to
cut it man and okay, see I can't stand Sta
Like you look up his dance video where he's acting
all stuff. I hate that guy. He's arrible, he's overrated,
and they're gonna get smashed in the playoffs. They're not
(30:26):
going to the finals. They're going to choke. But it's
not gonna be the Nuggets either, So I don't know
who to look for. But I think the Celtics might
have the upper hand in the East. But the rest
have some good teams though even the Rockets are ball
and I didn't expect them to ball this year at all.
Speaker 6 (30:38):

really got the wow factor going in the Western Tower.
Speaker 9 (30:47):

go down because he's a good defender. He came out
of nowhe You.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
The injury things obvious, And the only problem I had
with Oklahoma City is they act like a like a
high school team when they all have to get around
and say, it's very unbecoming. They of have to stand
behind the sideline interview after the game, It's like.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Dude, you're professional basketball players. You're not.

I won't give it away, but John Alcavic is a
freak show in that and that just do not see
the movie Opus?
Speaker 2 (32:31):
What happened to the date? Why just because the movie
was bad? Or what happened?

like she I dropped her off of the friends and
I didn't get a kiss, so beso because she's Spanish,
so I had to speak Spanish all night, which I
can do that as well.
