Here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Welcome, it's our number one, our number one. Happy Wednesday
to you. It is the thirtieth day of April. Is
the month lines to a close? And on this edition, here,
on this random Wednesday hump day, our number one.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It's all about pro bancy ball.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
It was a dreadful performance all the way around for
the people's team. Who gets to wear this loss for
the Clippers as they go down to the Nuggets. Also,
Jalen Brunson getting peppered with criticism for his play with
the Knickerbockers as they lost to the Pistons, extending that series.
Is that fair or foul? And did the Jason Tatum
(00:44):
Celtics gain anything from this gentleman's sweep of the Orlando Magic.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
We'll talk about that and more right now. Give it
up for our number one.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It was a case of the clip slip in Colorado. Welcome,
in beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We are in the air.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Ywhere, cranking up the old boombox as.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
We warm all night. We're just very warm here, that's
what we are.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Coast to coast, border the water and beyond on the
vast and lavishly powerful microphones of fsre ammundating live from
the paint as we go hard in the paint from
the Fox Sports Radio studios, and that is approved by
our man Purzo. He approves that message as we are
(01:52):

(02:16):
Buying Show be. So we are here all night, every
single night, and the lead this hour. We will start
out in the Mile High City where NBA Basketball pro
bouncy ball as we occasionally call it, continued the never
ending journey in the NBA to get to the finals.
(02:37):
I think I'll start about seven months from now, something
like that. Every night there's a couple of games and
you watch there a bunch of games tonight, so many
games that some games were demoted to the Dunce Cap
of the NBA World NBA TV, but the games that
were not. The Clippers and the Nuggets was one of
those games. Series locked up to two, a best of
(02:59):
seven series. I don't know if you saw saw this
game right. Game just ended not that long ago before
we cracked the mics here. Perhaps you missed it. Some
would argue the game actually ended way before we cracked
the mikes. Some would say the game ended by about
the middle of the first quarter, as Jamal Murray, you
got beat by Jamal Murray, Jamal Murray looking like a
(03:22):
cross between Alex English and Fat Lever, and all the.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Human go on trying to think of old Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But Jamal Murray forty three points and the Nuggets led
by as many as twenty two points. They never trailed
in Molly whopping. The Clippers won thirty one to one,
fifteen to the final, and so Denver is now up
three games to two. Hope they don't choke. That would
be terrible to lose the last two games. Game six
(03:50):
will be back at the end to a dome in
the hood in Inglewood. That'll be coming up here in
a couple of days. So let us discussed the better
story is in the losing locker room. So that is
where we will begin. And it was a dreadful performance.
If you want to call it performance by the team
(04:12):
that lost to the Clippers on this night all the
way around. But who gets to where the loss the
scarlet letter l for the Clippers. I've got fantastic Sam's
Foggy and toolbox, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a viral post,
(04:36):
is what we're going to make. Not that I really
want that, but we're just gonna make that. So a
before I get into the minutia of the game. You
saw the game, I think you know kind of how
this is going to go. I don't think this is
going to be surprised you. I'm not gonna throw a
curveball at you. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So before we address the Komodo dragon in the room,
congratulations to Jamal Murray, who was moving and grooving throughout
the game. Kind of looked like me when I'm out
in the playground moneyball Mallard knocking down those shots there.
It was NBA jam style. He was on fire for
the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now, Murray's a second level players, a second rate player,
has never been an All Star. He's not that good,
but on this night he was so congratulations he had
an out of body experience for the Nuggets. And the
big argument in Denver for those that watched the Nuggets
over here is well, NICOLEA. Yokis has no one around him,
and people say that they're really talking about Jamal Murray. Now,
(05:30):
Murray's made some big shots randomly in the playoffs, but
that performance, right there was a again out of body experience. Now,
to get down into the nitty gritty here of the
outcome of the game the Clippers, it was I say
that the person that needs to wear the scarlet letter
(05:53):
the L for loser, that would be I'll use the
term fantastic SAMs here known for him cuts over the years.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Fear the beard, Fear the beard.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Now, in the setup to the plaus we had talked
about this in a previous episode of the show, that
this is a legitimate possibility, this is going to happen
at some point, this kind of a performance. And sure enough,
there it was Playoff Harden. He's done this with every
team he's played on who's actually been halfway decent, mostly
(06:26):
the Rockets, but playoff Harden was there and arrived the
antithesis of playoff Jimmy Jimmy Butler, who rises to the
occasion and almost never ever gives a half ass effort
in a playoff game. Right, That's what Golden State got.
The Clippers have James Harden, who sucked at a time
you cannot suck, which is from the beginning to the
(06:47):
end of the game. All the way through he was
stumbling and bumbling on the court. It was embarrassing and
not surprising. Embarrassing is the word I will. You can't
be surprised Harden's done. This is entre career. It's why
despite having a Hall of Fame resume and he'll be
a Hall of Famer. Everyone gets Hi Muffett McGraw's in
the Hall of Fame, that James Harden's got this kryptonite,
(07:12):
and it's like, is he gonna really change? Well, no,
he's not gonna change so hardin finished three of nine.
That's thirty three point three percent half the sign of
the devil, eleven points, four turnovers in an effort. That
is a capitol u useless performance by James Harden, supposedly
(07:32):
one of the headliners. Now Denver took advantage of some
opportunities here. The Clippers allowed Russell Westbrook to shoot wide
open shots which I'm fine with.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
If you lose to Russell Westbrook, that's fine. He sucks.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So if he happens to make some shots and you lose,
you're fine with that. You want him to make as
many shots, You want him to take as many shots,
because the guy's garbage and he's a stat stuffing loser,
Russell Westbrook, So fine. The Jamalming. At some point you
might have wanted to adjust a little bit. Denver shot
seventeen of thirty three from three point range fifty one
(08:08):
percent on moneyballs for the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now, is this series over? Is it all? Is that?
All she wrote is that it? Now?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Well, a lot of low information fans will say it's
over because we know better than that. It's not a
best of five. I would agree with you. If it's
the best of five, it's over. But I double checked,
and it's not a best of five.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Ohm J.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It's a best of seven, so that means no one's
decided anything in this particular series. It's a best of seven,
and this thing will be going to a seventh game.
Book it, book it book a book it and the
encouraging news for the Clippers this good loss. Let me
tell you why it's a good loss. You got playoff
(08:51):
Harden out.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Of your system. We did the math on this. James Harden.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Ten percent of his playoff games has been a dumpster
like he was in that game. The other ninety percent
he's usually fine. So you got that out, so you're
good for nine more playoff games where James Harden will
be okay, if you play.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
The odds, you do the math. Ninety percent of the
time he's fine.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Ten percent of the time he goes out there and
urinates down his leg like he did in Denver. So okay,
you got that out of your system, so that's good.
Keep in onind the NBA wanted the Nuggets to win
this game. Otherwise Adam Silver, the spineless alien Commissioner of
the NBA, would have done the proper thing and suspended
Michael Porter Junior for clearly violating NBA Code of Conduct
(09:41):
rules by leaving the bench in a skirmish back in
Game four. It's caught on video. It's black and white.
He did it, and the NBA looked the other way.
They did not follow their own guidelines. Now, I didn't
come up with those rules. The NBA came up with
those rules because of the malice at the palace and
clear violation. And since the NBA chose to look the
(10:03):
other way and Porter played a great game for Denver, congratulations.
That verifies that the NBA wanted the Nuggets to win
that game, but they want a game seven. Game seven
is a great theater on television. Still be a Game
seven this weekend. Now, moving on from that, we head
to midtown Manhattan, right there above Penn Station, in the
(10:26):
middle of the concrete jungle, where the Pistons seemingly wasting
money traveling to play the next Everyone, Oh, it's over.
The Knicks are going to win this game. There's no
chance the Pistons are going to win another game in
this series. Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Then they had to play the game.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now, Kate Cunningham did not shoot the ball all that well,
but he had twenty four points, eight rebounds, eight assists,
and a partridge in a pear tree for the Detroit
basketball team. Detroit Basketball, the Pistons, staying alive, Staying alive.
The Pistons get it done their first postseason appearances twenty nineteen,
and now they've won a seven playoff game, and they
(11:02):
did it in clutch time on the Road one on
six to one on three the final.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So Detroit will have a chance to even things up.
Now on Thursday Thursday, Thursday Thursday Night, Game six at
home back in Michigan. They win that and there will
be a game seven.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
If Detroit wins that, Game seven will be back at
Madison Square Garden to Mecca on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So that'll give us something to watch on Saturday. Game seven.
There we have a game seven. Clippers and Nuggets will
be a game seven Pistons and the Knicks Game seven.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now, let's get down to the big part of this game.
Jalen Brunson is getting roasted. He's getting peppered with criticism
the Knickerbocker guard for his lousy play in this game.
Is that fair or foul? That Brunson, who has been
the heart and soul of the Knickerbockers, is getting just
shredded for his play.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
So it is a fair more, It is absolutely fair.
I don't know how anyone could say it's not fair,
and you gonna be like the biggest fanboy loser. Oh
it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Oh he played a temple game and people sent me
things about him.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh my god, all shut up.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
My word for.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Jalen Brunson is foggy. That is my word.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Foggy Brunson is the headliner of an off Broadway show
right there in New York.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And he had on this night two left feet.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He could not dance, and he forgot his script, he
forgot his words. He had brain fog. He was foggy,
was what it was. And Jalen Brunson, who picked up
some dopey award. We talked about this the other day
on the show, that they came up with these fugazy awards.
They have the the Clutch Player Award, which they.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Just you know, to appease the nerds. They have all
the stats.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They they gave Jalen Brunson the clutch stat or clutch
Player of the Year award, So we got that before
the game. Of course, then where you needed cush play,
who goofed I've got to know that would be Jalen Brunson,
who shot one of four from the floor in the
final twelve minutes of the game, and overall he shot
twenty five percent the entire game. Bruntson sixteen points four
(13:16):
turnovers for the New York Knickerbockers in this game and
last I checked. Criticism is part of the equation. Criticism
comes with the territory. As the face of the Knicks,
as the face of the Necks, you have to be
prepared to face, I don't know, negative comments. Possibly now
(13:36):
New York has left the door open. It is wide open.
Right now, it is wide open. They're futzing around, and
they are setting themselves up for a wacky Tobacci ending
they're gonna need wacky Tobacci by the time this series
is over. The way things are going here, the Knicks
miss not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
not six, not seven, o eight, not nine, not ten,
(13:57):
eleven foul shots. The foul shot is one of those
things that universally, any man, woman and child could conceivably make.
There's a lot of things in sports, like people in
sports like the brag, Oh, you can't hit a fastball,
you can't play in the NFL, you couldn't do. Any man,
woman or child can make a foul shot in the NBA.
(14:20):
There's no one stopping you. You are You're there. It's you,
the ball and the net. There's no one gonna block it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's the easiest thing. And yet they missed eleven foul shots. Bunnies.
They dropped the bunnies. Don't drop the bunnies, all right, now,
last word, quick light.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We head now to Boston, where it's all over for Orlando.
Jason Tatum thirty five points, ten assists, eight rebounds, and
the Celtics did something that many did not think they
could do. They abandoned the three point arsenal in the
early part of this game, and they still beat Orlando
(15:02):
by thirty one points and naaa, good bye, see you later.
They're done the Orlando magic. So did the Jason Tatum
Celtics gain anything from what turns out to be a
gentleman's sweep? As the Boston Celtics advance, now they will
(15:25):
play on the raigning champs will play either the Knicks
or the Pistons in the next round. So did the
Jason Tatum Celtics gain anything from this gentleman sweep? So
I'm gonna I'm gonna nod my head yes on this.
And the reason I'm not in my head yes is
they added another element to the toolbox. Yeah, good handy man,
(15:46):
you gotta have a lot of tools, So they added another.
The Celtics have been a one trick operation. They're one
trick band here, the Celtics. But on this night, they've
been so dependent on the three point shot. It's the
it's the crutch of the Celtics, right, That's what they fall.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
On, is the three point shot.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And they showed against a lesser team to a point.
They're okay, right, they can leave their comfort zone. The Celtics,
who set all kinds of NBA records for most three
point shots during the regular season.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It was the personification of Popper shot most three points
baskets made. I can go through all the records if
you want, but that's boring. Who wants to hear that.
I don't want to hear that. I don't think you
want to hear that. They made none in the first half.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
None. Now, it is interesting to note that.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Even though they made none and they won the game
by thirty one points, the game did not turn lopsided
until they started to make shots. They were actually trailing
at halftime. Orlando led by two at halftime, believe it
or not. And then Boston went night rider and they
cranked on the turbo boost. They hit that turbo boost
button on the dashboard and they outscored the Magic. The
(17:03):
Celtics did seventy three to forty. That is a one
two three can kun for the Orlando Magic, so thirty
three point advantage for the Celtics in the second half.
The Sea shot sixty percent from the floor in the
second half, and seventy two percent if my math is correct,
from three point range after halftime. So they had no
(17:25):
three point shots in the first half, they made thirteen
of eighteen in the second half, many of them wide open.
But more importantly, unless I missed it, no major snap,
crackle pop injuries. Jayson Tatum, who did miss some time
in this series with a bruise, played thirty five minutes
or so in this game, and so all the key figures,
(17:45):
all the key actors are going to be there when
the play continues in round number two. So we'll take
your thoughts on any of that. If you'd like to

you like the crispy I got you. Wasn't the like
the the weapon of choice for women is poison, Isn't
that usually what they say?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Right? So that's how.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Women Yeah, because they can put it in the food.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah. Oh you seem to go right away, Yeah on
that right away? You said, yes, right away.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I read something in history that was like women used
to actually poison their husbands on purpose so that they
would come home at the end of the day out
of necessity, and then when they'd come home, they'd give
them the antidote to feel better.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What are you reading? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Was it like in the Middle Ages of the guys
were going out to where they going playing poker in the.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Middle Ages, that's what they called.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, okay, well so hell oh that's the oldest sport
out there, you know. Man, unbelievable. All right, Well, let's
see what else do we have? Ferg Dog says, playoff
hard and letting the Clippers down on your birthday?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Discuss me. But there's still hole, Ben, there's still game
six and seven. I have no doubt the Clippers will
rise to the occasion and win both.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Who else do we have this? See page down. Joe
the ghost Hunter from Ohio says, how dare the Clippers
lose on your birthday? I was driving to a haunted
location tonight when I heard this. I was like, not
on Ben's day? Pathetic?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
There you go. It was not not great.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, does that upset you that they lost on your birthday?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't care. I had to do the show. Whether
they won or lost, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So there's a lot of negativity people enjoy when the
teams I like lose the people that are very evil
in the world, and that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I don't know. I don't know why people, and I
wonder why people do that. I don't know why they
would do that. Kooperloop.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But super Marcus Steve writes in says, can we get
an update on the injury Bingo? And have we decided
on a date yet for Vegas? I thought you were
on strike. Supermarket Steve number one.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
All right, I thought you were on a strike and
and we're gonna have the Leprechaun show up to Vegas,
So you're not gonna go because the Leprechaun is going
to be there.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Ye, Chris is running away with the injury bingo. By
the way, Chris and Chris and.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Chris who just started picking players on the Celtics at
the end there because.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
He yeah, so he got some uh, he got some
points from from Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Missed the game. Tatum missed the game with.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
A bruise, and then Damian Lillard went down for the
rest of the city.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That's a big one. Yeah, that's a big one. Lillard injury.
That's big. So Chris just randomly throwing names out and
he is gonna win, and we we have we fought
into it, we put thought into it and all that,
and it didn't work. What else do we have to see?
Page now?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Truck stop fungus Right, since I just parked about an
hour ago at the Loves truck stop outside the Moines,
shout out to Shane in the Moine.

Now she relocated. There you go, what else do we
have to see? Page down?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Rick oh is already sitting shiva for the Lakers, by
the way, as he knows they're gonna lose tomorrow. Our
guy fun House says that I would play better defense
than anyone in the Clippers. Why would at least try
some of those guys? I think we're not trying, But
what do I know?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Why the Lakers are gonna win the series? Right? Because
you're gonna plan a video game or something like that.
Why Why are they gonna win? I gotta hear this.
Why are they gonna win the series? Well?
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Today up or it probably happened yesterday, but it was
reported today. Luka Donci is paid to have a Kobe
and gig mural re you know, restored from from from damage,
from from graffiti damage. He paid the entire go fund me.
(25:28):
He's he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Retire in l A.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
They're gonna come back from down three to one, okay,
and they're gonna win the championship.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And then he wakes up in Kobe's honor and you
know what it's gonna happen. They're gonna fix that mural.
It'll look beautiful. And then a day later some graffiti
artists to go over there and some losers and vandalize
it and it'll destroy it again.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
It's l a man. People are people around here are animals.
They throw trash on the street, they burn and it's ridiculous. Yeah,
they're gonna fix it. Why bother fixing. It's just gonna
get vandalized again. Somebody's gonna pay over it, and east
it's all of la Man anyway, all right, there was
somebody sent me a video a couple of weeks ago.
There was a there was a dude down on skid
(26:09):
Row who was shooting an arrow to kill like I
think it was like, no, it was he was like
like Robinhood. No, he was shooting this guy bird. Well
yeah it was a bird, But I think it was
like crows. He was eating crows taste bad?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He was eating them.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, that's I.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Don't I just saw the video. He looked like Robinhood,
this homeless dude. He had an arrow and in the
bow and arrow and he was shooting at a like
birds that they said.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Was crow in the video that was on top of
the line.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Does crow taste good?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
No, it says that yes, you can literally eat crow.
You can't eat crow, but it is a bird that
is edible. Crows are not known to be toxic or
carry any harmful diseases that would make them inedible.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
However, the phrase eat crow, if you make his statement
that is not right, would indicate that it does not
taste very good.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That the crow meet. You know who we need That
guy used to call from Arkansas. He's roadkill. What's the
guy's name, Sir scratch Off?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We need him. I bet you he's eating crow. I
bet you, Sir scratch Off is eating.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
Some describe the taste as similar to duck or goose,
though potentially a bit tougher.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I do like duck.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah, duck's good.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Duck is good. I've never had goose. This sounds like
a game I used to play an elementary.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Duck duck goose. Remember duck duck goose.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
You go around and pat everyone's head. Yes, my friend's
armed and that.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, the very angry bird is The real angry bird
is the goose. There's no bird quite as angry as
the goose.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Ostriches are pretty angry. Now here's the question.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Did the goose become angry before the interaction with children
or was it children that harassed the goose so much
that the goose became angry towards human beings?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
What happened first?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Was it the kids grabbing the neck of the goose
when you go to the park with your kids on
the weekend, or was it the goose that started attacking
the kids for How about that?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Has every goost experienced this?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well?
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I think it's because that they feel ugly compared to
the swan. So it's kind of like, you know, like
a bitter syndrome kind of situation.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
They're very angry, though, they're very very passionate of the
bird world. The Karen's Yeah, they are. They're they're grooming.
I'sco all the phones. Jeff is in Denver and Jeff
is in the leadoff spot. Hello Jeff. A lot of.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Ambient noise, Hello Jeff, welcome. Oh boy, there he is
right there, there's Jeff.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was at the game tonight. So how do you
feel about the Lake the Clippers?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Now, I don't feel much about the Lakers at all.
Clippers are still winning. They'll winning Game seven. Will just
be more painful for you on game seven this weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Well, they dominated the Clippers the last two games. They
gave away the lead.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He blew a twenty two point lead in the fourth
quarter and needed a fluke shot to win the game
in the last game.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I don't know that's domination, sir, But they.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Were still up for the first three quarters.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And well they actually played I don't know if you
know this, So they play four quarters, so the fourth
quarter does count.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
But they still lost. But tonight we dominated you again.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I didn't. I did not play in the game. So
I did not. I was not there.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Now. I called in. I called in when we were losing.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You did, you did?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And you I believe you were ready to give a
concession speech at that time.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And I said, if they played a little bit of
defense and the game back, and if they came back,
which they have come back.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, well they're not I'm not worried. Listen, the Clippers
will win. The NBA wants seven games. It will come
down to game seven and James Harden's got his bad
game out of his system, so they'll win Game seven
and they'll go on and play Oklahoma sitting in the
second round the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So I'm not worried. I'm not be thirty.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Five points, thirty five minutes for eleven points, and no.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It was it was terrible. It was great, but he
got it out of a system. It was a It
was a useful loss for the Clippers. It was because
they got James Harden. He did the mat His entire career,
he's had ten percent of his playoff games have been terrible.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So that was the ten percent. And then he'll get
back to playing well.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
And kawhile this scores twenty.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Well, the game was lopsided. I don't know, I mean,
what do you want me to say here? It was fine,
But if you think that the series is over, you
should go to Vegas or I guess you can gamble
in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Bet all your money on the Nuggets and then when
you're bankrupt, you can contact.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
How you gonna feel about this?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
How'm I gonna fit? What do you worry about it?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Why worried about my feelings? I'm not I'm not concerned.
The Cliper are gonna win the series. I'm not worried
about it. You think I'm worried.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's a game. There's no such thing as momentum. Do
you understand there's no such thing as momentum?
Speaker 4 (30:40):
You're sure about that? Let's make a bet?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Why you always want to bet? I do understand that.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
There's no there's no use to make a bet with you, sir,
because there's nothing that there's nothing that you can do
to pay off a bet that will interest me, so
like the only it's only for your entertainment. It doesn't
benefit me at all. Because if you you're gonna lose
that that's true.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
We know that.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
But there's nothing you can do that will satisfy my interest.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
He's like, I sound like.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
I have heard that from women. Yes, I have heard
that from women over there?
Speaker 8 (31:17):
What what?
Speaker 1 (31:18):
What? Jeff?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
But you're so sure about your clippers, so why not
back them?
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I told you you're gonna win. What do you want
me to say how many times you want to say?
Speaker 8 (31:26):
You don't want to bet with him anyway, Jeff, he
doesn't pay off his bet.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Paid off my bet.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I hate the your you're disgusting local the culinary meal
that the Rocky go eat some Rocky Mountain oysters.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
They're disgusting.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
What you still have not?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
I ate Rocky Mountain noist again.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
You you want to fight me on this and uh,
I know you're just being a schmuck.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
I ate them.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
I offered Cooper Loop the testicles. I offered Eddie who
used to work here they come. He whacked him. I
offered those guys the the the the item. They said, no,
that's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
I'm not eating that.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
So why would they not eat it? If it wasn't
It wasn't bull balls.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Because we didn't lose a bet because it's it was disgusting,
you don't want to eat it. There was like vein
in the jerky. There was, there was. There was vain
not this video of the raya this video there was, there.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Was, There was, there was absolute there was a vein
in the in the jerky.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
What your two stars? You're two stars tonight only score
thirty one points.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Yes, it was not a good performance, but that's that's one.
There's no momentum. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
You throw it away, you flush it down the toilet,
as Jalen Hurts said back in the day, and you
live to take another dump is what you do.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
All right? So you're gonna eat actual oysters if I.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Already ate them? I don't know what you want me
to do. I've already eaten him. I've checked that box
in my life. I've checked it.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
You ate jerky, that's not the same.
Speaker 8 (32:54):
And what was the jerkey made of? Well, so he
wants to make a new bet. Now he wants you
to not eat the jerky version. There's no the actual
He wants you to eat the actual testicle.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
No, here's why I'm not doing that, because because I'm
gonna win the bet and there's nothing this guy can do,
Jeff and Denver that will satisfy my interest.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (33:11):
There's no bet? What do you?
Speaker 6 (33:14):
You?
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Blind?

Dumb death?
Speaker 1 (33:15):
What are you? What's wrong with you?
Speaker 5 (33:18):
There?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Not backing?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
There's no bet to make a wager is Hey, I'll
do this if my team loses.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
You'll do this if your team loses. This is this's
my point. My point is that nothing you could do.
There's nothing you can do.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
That's the problems.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Yes, I have no confidence. Yes, no, coming, I got

(02:16):
Buying Show be. So we are here all night, every
single night, and the lead this hour. We will start
out in the Mile High City where NBA Basketball pro
bouncy ball as we occasionally call it, continued the never
ending journey in the NBA to get to the finals.
(02:37):
I think I'll start about seven months from now, something
like that. Every night there's a couple of games and
you watch there a bunch of games tonight, so many
games that some games were demoted to the Dunce Cap
of the NBA World NBA TV, but the games that
were not. The Clippers and the Nuggets was one of
those games. Series locked up to two, a best of
(02:59):
seven series. I don't know if you saw saw this
game right. Game just ended not that long ago before
we cracked the mics here. Perhaps you missed it. Some
would argue the game actually ended way before we cracked
the mikes. Some would say the game ended by about
the middle of the first quarter, as Jamal Murray, you
got beat by Jamal Murray, Jamal Murray looking like a
(03:22):
cross between Alex English and Fat Lever, and all the.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Human go on trying to think of old Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But Jamal Murray forty three points and the Nuggets led
by as many as twenty two points. They never trailed
in Molly whopping. The Clippers won thirty one to one,
fifteen to the final, and so Denver is now up
three games to two. Hope they don't choke. That would
be terrible to lose the last two games. Game six
(03:50):
will be back at the end to a dome in
the hood in Inglewood. That'll be coming up here in
a couple of days. So let us discussed the better
story is in the losing locker room. So that is
where we will begin. And it was a dreadful performance.
If you want to call it performance by the team
(04:12):
that lost to the Clippers on this night all the
way around. But who gets to where the loss the
scarlet letter l for the Clippers. I've got fantastic Sam's
Foggy and toolbox, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a viral post,
(04:36):
is what we're going to make. Not that I really
want that, but we're just gonna make that. So a
before I get into the minutia of the game. You
saw the game, I think you know kind of how
this is going to go. I don't think this is
going to be surprised you. I'm not gonna throw a
curveball at you. That's not going to happen.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
So before we address the Komodo dragon in the room,
congratulations to Jamal Murray, who was moving and grooving throughout
the game. Kind of looked like me when I'm out
in the playground moneyball Mallard knocking down those shots there.
It was NBA jam style. He was on fire for
the Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Now, Murray's a second level players, a second rate player,
has never been an All Star. He's not that good,
but on this night he was so congratulations he had
an out of body experience for the Nuggets. And the
big argument in Denver for those that watched the Nuggets
over here is well, NICOLEA. Yokis has no one around him,
and people say that they're really talking about Jamal Murray. Now,
(05:30):
Murray's made some big shots randomly in the playoffs, but
that performance, right there was a again out of body experience. Now,
to get down into the nitty gritty here of the
outcome of the game the Clippers, it was I say
that the person that needs to wear the scarlet letter
(05:53):
the L for loser, that would be I'll use the
term fantastic SAMs here known for him cuts over the years.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Fear the beard, Fear the beard.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Now, in the setup to the plaus we had talked
about this in a previous episode of the show, that
this is a legitimate possibility, this is going to happen
at some point, this kind of a performance. And sure enough,
there it was Playoff Harden. He's done this with every
team he's played on who's actually been halfway decent, mostly
(06:26):
the Rockets, but playoff Harden was there and arrived the
antithesis of playoff Jimmy Jimmy Butler, who rises to the
occasion and almost never ever gives a half ass effort
in a playoff game. Right, That's what Golden State got.
The Clippers have James Harden, who sucked at a time
you cannot suck, which is from the beginning to the
(06:47):
end of the game. All the way through he was
stumbling and bumbling on the court. It was embarrassing and
not surprising. Embarrassing is the word I will. You can't
be surprised Harden's done. This is entre career. It's why
despite having a Hall of Fame resume and he'll be
a Hall of Famer. Everyone gets Hi Muffett McGraw's in
the Hall of Fame, that James Harden's got this kryptonite,
(07:12):
and it's like, is he gonna really change? Well, no,
he's not gonna change so hardin finished three of nine.
That's thirty three point three percent half the sign of
the devil, eleven points, four turnovers in an effort. That
is a capitol u useless performance by James Harden, supposedly
(07:32):
one of the headliners. Now Denver took advantage of some
opportunities here. The Clippers allowed Russell Westbrook to shoot wide
open shots which I'm fine with.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
If you lose to Russell Westbrook, that's fine. He sucks.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
So if he happens to make some shots and you lose,
you're fine with that. You want him to make as
many shots, You want him to take as many shots,
because the guy's garbage and he's a stat stuffing loser,
Russell Westbrook, So fine. The Jamalming. At some point you
might have wanted to adjust a little bit. Denver shot
seventeen of thirty three from three point range fifty one
(08:08):
percent on moneyballs for the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Now, is this series over? Is it all? Is that?
All she wrote is that it? Now?
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Well, a lot of low information fans will say it's
over because we know better than that. It's not a
best of five. I would agree with you. If it's
the best of five, it's over. But I double checked,
and it's not a best of five.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Ohm J.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
It's a best of seven, so that means no one's
decided anything in this particular series. It's a best of seven,
and this thing will be going to a seventh game.
Book it, book it book a book it and the
encouraging news for the Clippers this good loss. Let me
tell you why it's a good loss. You got playoff
(08:51):
Harden out.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Of your system. We did the math on this. James Harden.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Ten percent of his playoff games has been a dumpster
like he was in that game. The other ninety percent
he's usually fine. So you got that out, so you're
good for nine more playoff games where James Harden will
be okay, if you play.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
The odds, you do the math. Ninety percent of the
time he's fine.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Ten percent of the time he goes out there and
urinates down his leg like he did in Denver. So okay,
you got that out of your system, so that's good.
Keep in onind the NBA wanted the Nuggets to win
this game. Otherwise Adam Silver, the spineless alien Commissioner of
the NBA, would have done the proper thing and suspended
Michael Porter Junior for clearly violating NBA Code of Conduct
(09:41):
rules by leaving the bench in a skirmish back in
Game four. It's caught on video. It's black and white.
He did it, and the NBA looked the other way.
They did not follow their own guidelines. Now, I didn't
come up with those rules. The NBA came up with
those rules because of the malice at the palace and
clear violation. And since the NBA chose to look the
(10:03):
other way and Porter played a great game for Denver, congratulations.
That verifies that the NBA wanted the Nuggets to win
that game, but they want a game seven. Game seven
is a great theater on television. Still be a Game
seven this weekend. Now, moving on from that, we head
to midtown Manhattan, right there above Penn Station, in the
(10:26):
middle of the concrete jungle, where the Pistons seemingly wasting
money traveling to play the next Everyone, Oh, it's over.
The Knicks are going to win this game. There's no
chance the Pistons are going to win another game in
this series. Forget about it.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Then they had to play the game.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Now, Kate Cunningham did not shoot the ball all that well,
but he had twenty four points, eight rebounds, eight assists,
and a partridge in a pear tree for the Detroit
basketball team. Detroit Basketball, the Pistons, staying alive, Staying alive.
The Pistons get it done their first postseason appearances twenty nineteen,
and now they've won a seven playoff game, and they
(11:02):
did it in clutch time on the Road one on
six to one on three the final.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
So Detroit will have a chance to even things up.
Now on Thursday Thursday, Thursday Thursday Night, Game six at
home back in Michigan. They win that and there will
be a game seven.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
If Detroit wins that, Game seven will be back at
Madison Square Garden to Mecca on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
So that'll give us something to watch on Saturday. Game seven.
There we have a game seven. Clippers and Nuggets will
be a game seven Pistons and the Knicks Game seven.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Now, let's get down to the big part of this game.
Jalen Brunson is getting roasted. He's getting peppered with criticism
the Knickerbocker guard for his lousy play in this game.
Is that fair or foul? That Brunson, who has been
the heart and soul of the Knickerbockers, is getting just
shredded for his play.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
So it is a fair more, It is absolutely fair.
I don't know how anyone could say it's not fair,
and you gonna be like the biggest fanboy loser. Oh
it's not fair.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Oh he played a temple game and people sent me
things about him.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh my god, all shut up.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
My word for.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Jalen Brunson is foggy. That is my word.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Foggy Brunson is the headliner of an off Broadway show
right there in New York.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
And he had on this night two left feet.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
He could not dance, and he forgot his script, he
forgot his words. He had brain fog. He was foggy,
was what it was. And Jalen Brunson, who picked up
some dopey award. We talked about this the other day
on the show, that they came up with these fugazy awards.
They have the the Clutch Player Award, which they.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Just you know, to appease the nerds. They have all
the stats.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
They they gave Jalen Brunson the clutch stat or clutch
Player of the Year award, So we got that before
the game. Of course, then where you needed cush play,
who goofed I've got to know that would be Jalen Brunson,
who shot one of four from the floor in the
final twelve minutes of the game, and overall he shot
twenty five percent the entire game. Bruntson sixteen points four
(13:16):
turnovers for the New York Knickerbockers in this game and
last I checked. Criticism is part of the equation. Criticism
comes with the territory. As the face of the Knicks,
as the face of the Necks, you have to be
prepared to face, I don't know, negative comments. Possibly now
(13:36):
New York has left the door open. It is wide open.
Right now, it is wide open. They're futzing around, and
they are setting themselves up for a wacky Tobacci ending
they're gonna need wacky Tobacci by the time this series
is over. The way things are going here, the Knicks
miss not one, not two, not three, not four, not five,
not six, not seven, o eight, not nine, not ten,
(13:57):
eleven foul shots. The foul shot is one of those
things that universally, any man, woman and child could conceivably make.
There's a lot of things in sports, like people in
sports like the brag, Oh, you can't hit a fastball,
you can't play in the NFL, you couldn't do. Any man,
woman or child can make a foul shot in the NBA.
(14:20):
There's no one stopping you. You are You're there. It's you,
the ball and the net. There's no one gonna block it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's the easiest thing. And yet they missed eleven foul shots. Bunnies.
They dropped the bunnies. Don't drop the bunnies, all right, now,
last word, quick light.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We head now to Boston, where it's all over for Orlando.
Jason Tatum thirty five points, ten assists, eight rebounds, and
the Celtics did something that many did not think they
could do. They abandoned the three point arsenal in the
early part of this game, and they still beat Orlando
(15:02):
by thirty one points and naaa, good bye, see you later.
They're done the Orlando magic. So did the Jason Tatum
Celtics gain anything from what turns out to be a
gentleman's sweep? As the Boston Celtics advance, now they will
(15:25):
play on the raigning champs will play either the Knicks
or the Pistons in the next round. So did the
Jason Tatum Celtics gain anything from this gentleman sweep? So
I'm gonna I'm gonna nod my head yes on this.
And the reason I'm not in my head yes is
they added another element to the toolbox. Yeah, good handy man,
(15:46):
you gotta have a lot of tools, So they added another.
The Celtics have been a one trick operation. They're one
trick band here, the Celtics. But on this night, they've
been so dependent on the three point shot. It's the
it's the crutch of the Celtics, right, That's what they fall.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
On, is the three point shot.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
And they showed against a lesser team to a point.
They're okay, right, they can leave their comfort zone. The Celtics,
who set all kinds of NBA records for most three
point shots during the regular season.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
It was the personification of Popper shot most three points
baskets made. I can go through all the records if
you want, but that's boring. Who wants to hear that.
I don't want to hear that. I don't think you
want to hear that. They made none in the first half.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
None. Now, it is interesting to note that.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Even though they made none and they won the game
by thirty one points, the game did not turn lopsided
until they started to make shots. They were actually trailing
at halftime. Orlando led by two at halftime, believe it
or not. And then Boston went night rider and they
cranked on the turbo boost. They hit that turbo boost
button on the dashboard and they outscored the Magic. The
(17:03):
Celtics did seventy three to forty. That is a one
two three can kun for the Orlando Magic, so thirty
three point advantage for the Celtics in the second half.
The Sea shot sixty percent from the floor in the
second half, and seventy two percent if my math is correct,
from three point range after halftime. So they had no
(17:25):
three point shots in the first half, they made thirteen
of eighteen in the second half, many of them wide open.
But more importantly, unless I missed it, no major snap,
crackle pop injuries. Jayson Tatum, who did miss some time
in this series with a bruise, played thirty five minutes
or so in this game, and so all the key figures,
(17:45):
all the key actors are going to be there when
the play continues in round number two. So we'll take
your thoughts on any of that. If you'd like to
be part, you can join us right now. Call up, yell,

What is that a show? Is that a thing? That

I'll have to come see. Okay, it looks like you're
enjoying that though. You find that enjoyable. That's a good snack. Yeah,
you like the crispy I got you. Wasn't the like
the the weapon of choice for women is poison, Isn't
that usually what they say?
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Right? So that's how.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
Women Yeah, because they can put it in the food.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah. Oh you seem to go right away, Yeah on
that right away? You said, yes, right away.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
I read something in history that was like women used
to actually poison their husbands on purpose so that they
would come home at the end of the day out
of necessity, and then when they'd come home, they'd give
them the antidote to feel better.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
What are you reading? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Was it like in the Middle Ages of the guys
were going out to where they going playing poker in the.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Middle Ages, that's what they called.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Yeah, okay, well so hell oh that's the oldest sport
out there, you know. Man, unbelievable. All right, Well, let's
see what else do we have? Ferg Dog says, playoff
hard and letting the Clippers down on your birthday?
Speaker 2 (22:17):
Discuss me. But there's still hole, Ben, there's still game
six and seven. I have no doubt the Clippers will
rise to the occasion and win both.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Who else do we have this? See page down. Joe
the ghost Hunter from Ohio says, how dare the Clippers
lose on your birthday? I was driving to a haunted
location tonight when I heard this. I was like, not
on Ben's day? Pathetic?
Speaker 1 (22:45):
There you go. It was not not great.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, does that upset you that they lost on your birthday?
Speaker 4 (22:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I don't care. I had to do the show. Whether
they won or lost, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
So there's a lot of negativity people enjoy when the
teams I like lose the people that are very evil
in the world, and that.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
I don't know. I don't know why people, and I
wonder why people do that. I don't know why they
would do that. Kooperloop.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
But super Marcus Steve writes in says, can we get
an update on the injury Bingo? And have we decided
on a date yet for Vegas? I thought you were
on strike. Supermarket Steve number one.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
All right, I thought you were on a strike and
and we're gonna have the Leprechaun show up to Vegas,
So you're not gonna go because the Leprechaun is going
to be there.
Speaker 8 (23:29):
Ye, Chris is running away with the injury bingo. By
the way, Chris and Chris and.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Chris who just started picking players on the Celtics at
the end there because.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
He yeah, so he got some uh, he got some
points from from Jason Tatum.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Missed the game. Tatum missed the game with.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
A bruise, and then Damian Lillard went down for the
rest of the city.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
That's a big one. Yeah, that's a big one. Lillard injury.
That's big. So Chris just randomly throwing names out and
he is gonna win, and we we have we fought
into it, we put thought into it and all that,
and it didn't work. What else do we have to see?
Page now?
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Truck stop fungus Right, since I just parked about an
hour ago at the Loves truck stop outside the Moines,
shout out to Shane in the Moine.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
It's mallaw time.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
All right, Well, look, celebrities, there's a lot of pe
ones in Des Moines, Iowa. And that's a that's a
legendary town for this show. So not only now keeping
keep in mind truck Stop Fungus, not only do you
have Shane in the Moyne, but you also have the
woman formerly known as Donut Kelly who also resides in
the Moine.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Now she relocated. There you go, what else do we
have to see? Page down?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Rick oh is already sitting shiva for the Lakers, by
the way, as he knows they're gonna lose tomorrow. Our
guy fun House says that I would play better defense
than anyone in the Clippers. Why would at least try
some of those guys? I think we're not trying, But
what do I know?
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Anyway?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Why the Lakers are gonna win the series? Right? Because
you're gonna plan a video game or something like that.
Why Why are they gonna win? I gotta hear this.
Why are they gonna win the series? Well?
Speaker 8 (25:07):
Today up or it probably happened yesterday, but it was
reported today. Luka Donci is paid to have a Kobe
and gig mural re you know, restored from from from damage,
from from graffiti damage. He paid the entire go fund me.
(25:28):
He's he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Retire in l A.
Speaker 8 (25:30):
They're gonna come back from down three to one, okay,
and they're gonna win the championship.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
And then he wakes up in Kobe's honor and you
know what it's gonna happen. They're gonna fix that mural.
It'll look beautiful. And then a day later some graffiti
artists to go over there and some losers and vandalize
it and it'll destroy it again.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
It's l a man. People are people around here are animals.
They throw trash on the street, they burn and it's ridiculous. Yeah,
they're gonna fix it. Why bother fixing. It's just gonna
get vandalized again. Somebody's gonna pay over it, and east
it's all of la Man anyway, all right, there was
somebody sent me a video a couple of weeks ago.
There was a there was a dude down on skid
(26:09):
Row who was shooting an arrow to kill like I
think it was like, no, it was he was like
like Robinhood. No, he was shooting this guy bird. Well
yeah it was a bird, But I think it was
like crows. He was eating crows taste bad?
Speaker 3 (26:27):
He was eating them.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Well, that's I.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Don't I just saw the video. He looked like Robinhood,
this homeless dude. He had an arrow and in the
bow and arrow and he was shooting at a like
birds that they said.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Was crow in the video that was on top of
the line.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Does crow taste good?
Speaker 8 (26:42):
No, it says that yes, you can literally eat crow.
You can't eat crow, but it is a bird that
is edible. Crows are not known to be toxic or
carry any harmful diseases that would make them inedible.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
However, the phrase eat crow, if you make his statement
that is not right, would indicate that it does not
taste very good.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
That the crow meet. You know who we need That
guy used to call from Arkansas. He's roadkill. What's the
guy's name, Sir scratch Off?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
We need him. I bet you he's eating crow. I
bet you, Sir scratch Off is eating.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
Some describe the taste as similar to duck or goose,
though potentially a bit tougher.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I do like duck.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah, duck's good.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Duck is good. I've never had goose. This sounds like
a game I used to play an elementary.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Duck duck goose. Remember duck duck goose.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
You go around and pat everyone's head. Yes, my friend's
armed and that.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, the very angry bird is The real angry bird
is the goose. There's no bird quite as angry as
the goose.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
That's true.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Ostriches are pretty angry. Now here's the question.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Did the goose become angry before the interaction with children
or was it children that harassed the goose so much
that the goose became angry towards human beings?
Speaker 1 (27:52):
What happened first?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
Was it the kids grabbing the neck of the goose
when you go to the park with your kids on
the weekend, or was it the goose that started attacking
the kids for How about that?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Has every goost experienced this?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Well?
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I think it's because that they feel ugly compared to
the swan. So it's kind of like, you know, like
a bitter syndrome kind of situation.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
They're very angry, though, they're very very passionate of the
bird world. The Karen's Yeah, they are. They're they're grooming.
I'sco all the phones. Jeff is in Denver and Jeff
is in the leadoff spot. Hello Jeff. A lot of.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
Ambient noise, Hello Jeff, welcome. Oh boy, there he is
right there, there's Jeff.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was at the game tonight. So how do you
feel about the Lake the Clippers?
Speaker 1 (28:36):
Now, I don't feel much about the Lakers at all.
Clippers are still winning. They'll winning Game seven. Will just
be more painful for you on game seven this weekend.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Well, they dominated the Clippers the last two games. They
gave away the lead.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
He blew a twenty two point lead in the fourth
quarter and needed a fluke shot to win the game
in the last game.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I don't know that's domination, sir, But they.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Were still up for the first three quarters.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And well they actually played I don't know if you
know this, So they play four quarters, so the fourth
quarter does count.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
But they still lost. But tonight we dominated you again.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
I didn't. I did not play in the game. So
I did not. I was not there.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Now. I called in. I called in when we were losing.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
You did, you did?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
And you I believe you were ready to give a
concession speech at that time.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
And I said, if they played a little bit of
defense and the game back, and if they came back,
which they have come back.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
Yeah, well they're not I'm not worried. Listen, the Clippers
will win. The NBA wants seven games. It will come
down to game seven and James Harden's got his bad
game out of his system, so they'll win Game seven
and they'll go on and play Oklahoma sitting in the
second round the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So I'm not worried. I'm not be thirty.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Five points, thirty five minutes for eleven points, and no.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
It was it was terrible. It was great, but he
got it out of a system. It was a It
was a useful loss for the Clippers. It was because
they got James Harden. He did the mat His entire career,
he's had ten percent of his playoff games have been terrible.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So that was the ten percent. And then he'll get
back to playing well.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
And kawhile this scores twenty.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Well, the game was lopsided. I don't know, I mean,
what do you want me to say here? It was fine,
But if you think that the series is over, you
should go to Vegas or I guess you can gamble
in Colorado.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Bet all your money on the Nuggets and then when
you're bankrupt, you can contact.
Speaker 4 (30:25):
How you gonna feel about this?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
How'm I gonna fit? What do you worry about it?
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Why worried about my feelings? I'm not I'm not concerned.
The Cliper are gonna win the series. I'm not worried
about it. You think I'm worried.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's a game. There's no such thing as momentum. Do

Why you always want to bet? I do understand that.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
There's no there's no use to make a bet with you, sir,
because there's nothing that there's nothing that you can do
to pay off a bet that will interest me, so
like the only it's only for your entertainment. It doesn't
benefit me at all. Because if you you're gonna lose
that that's true.

as Jalen Hurts said back in the day, and you
live to take another dump is what you do.
