Speaker 1: How do you do as the Knickerbockers have won in
0:11
Speaker 1: advanced can you put into context Jalen Brunson's game winning
0:15
Speaker 1: basket for the Knicks, a dagger three point shot in
0:19
Speaker 1: the final five seconds? Also, are you convinced the Cade
0:23
Speaker 1: Cuttingham Pistons have now arrived even though they lost that
0:27
Speaker 1: series in six games? And do the Jalen Brunson Knickerbockers
0:31
Speaker 1: have a chance to upend the favored Celtics in the
0:35
Speaker 1: next round of the playoffs. We'll discuss that as well.
0:38
Speaker 1: Here it is our number two. With a kiss to
0:43
Speaker 1: the upper balcony, welcome in the beginning of another hour
0:50
Speaker 1: of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,

Speaker 1: are moving and grooving coast, the coast, border, the border,
1:04
Speaker 1: and beyond on the vast and unfathomably powerful microphones of
1:11
Speaker 1: fsre ammnating live from the whispers, the whispers of wisdom
1:19
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios, as our friend Reggie
1:23
Speaker 1: in Detroit and Joe Dogg and Eed Dogg in New
1:27
Speaker 1: York would tell you, as we are hanging outside by
1:32
Speaker 1: side here so exciting, unbelievable as we begin anew this
1:36
Speaker 1: hour and this portion of the Ben Malers Show, made
1:39
Speaker 1: possible by ti Rak for forty years, ty Iraq has
1:42
Speaker 1: been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
1:45
Speaker 1: and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
1:48
Speaker 1: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options very important
1:53
Speaker 1: for fer dog like mobile tireinstallation ti raq dot com
1:57
Speaker 1: the way that tire buying show. So our lead this
2:01
Speaker 1: hour is from Motown. We'll get back to the people's
2:05
Speaker 1: team winning. And I do have those numbers, I promise
2:07
Speaker 1: if you're listening last hour, I was put on the
2:09
Speaker 1: spot by that dope Jeff and Denver and Cooper Loop
2:14
Speaker 1: And you're of any numbers back that was okay. I'll
2:16
Speaker 1: give you the numbers later. But we're gonna start with
2:18
Speaker 1: the game in the Motor City, which was a really
2:20
Speaker 1: good game. I enjoyed it. I was sitting on my
2:24
Speaker 1: ass watching the game Game six, the Detroit Basketball and
2:30
Speaker 1: the New Yorkers, the Pistons looking to force a Game seven.
2:35
Speaker 1: The Knickerbocker's trying to close things out and move on
2:38
Speaker 1: to take on that Green team were you watching. I
2:42
Speaker 1: hope you were. This was actually a pretty good game.
2:44
Speaker 1: It came down to the final seconds with the clock
2:47
Speaker 1: running down. Jalen Brunson the killer crossover dribble between his legs.
2:53
Speaker 1: He got a little space and then the dagger from downtown,
2:59
Speaker 1: a three point shot with four point three seconds left
3:02
Speaker 1: in the clock, and then he blew a kiss right
3:06
Speaker 1: there to the upper balcony. The crowd had been taunting him.
3:11
Speaker 1: That's what good fans do. They taunt the best player
3:13
Speaker 1: on the other team, and so they did. Now Brunson
3:16
Speaker 1: had a forty burger in this game, forty points and
3:21
Speaker 1: the Knicks win the game by three, and what a
3:24
Speaker 1: great way for the piss and season. And they didn't
3:27
Speaker 1: even get a shot up. They fetched the ball out
3:29
Speaker 1: of bounds. Beasley fumbled the ball out of bounds, so
3:32
Speaker 1: Detroit could have had a chance to tie the game,
3:35
Speaker 1: and they blew it. And so the win goes to
3:38
Speaker 1: the team from the Big Apple. New York will now
3:41
Speaker 1: face the number two, the number two, the Boston basketball
3:50
Speaker 1: team as they look to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.
3:54
Speaker 1: You realize the Knicks have not been to the Eastern
3:58
Speaker 1: Conference finals. Saints two thousand. That's a generation. How is that? Man?
4:05
Speaker 1: When I was growing up of old Buckle mar Day,
4:08
Speaker 1: but it was like, oh, New York teams have all
4:10
Speaker 1: the advantage. Those New York teams win all the time.
4:12
Speaker 1: They have all the top players. Like the Jets have
4:15
Speaker 1: been terrible. The Giants are an embarrassment. The Knickerbockers are pathetic,
4:21
Speaker 1: like for the most part, the Mets are ridiculously bad.
4:24
Speaker 1: The Mets haven't won the World Series since the nineteen eighties.
4:28
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan was the president the last time the next
4:31
Speaker 1: one or the Mets won the World Series. The Yankees,
4:34
Speaker 1: they're going on, how many years? Has been? Fifteen years
4:36
Speaker 1: plus now the Yankees haven't won the World Series? So
4:40
Speaker 1: who goofed? I've got to know. Anyway, let's get back
4:43
Speaker 1: to this one. Now. The better story is in the
4:45
Speaker 1: losing locker room. We'll get to that, but I wanted
4:47
Speaker 1: to start with this, all right, So as we discussed
4:50
Speaker 1: this game since the Knicks one and everyone has their
4:53
Speaker 1: pants down because of Jalen Brunson, can you put into
4:58
Speaker 1: context Jalen Unson's game winning basket for the Knicks. So
5:04
Speaker 1: I've got meantastic f seventeen Nighthawk and Kentucky Bourbon, and
5:11
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together, and we're
5:15
Speaker 1: gonna say, forget about it and just have some Detroit pizza.
5:19
Speaker 1: I didn't even know Detroit pizza was a thing until
5:21
Speaker 1: a few years ago. I didn't. I had no idea
5:24
Speaker 1: it was a Detroit So I knew a Chicago style,
5:25
Speaker 1: I knew New York style pizza. I didn't even know
5:28
Speaker 1: there was a Detroit style pizza until a couple years
5:31
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, it was like everywhere,
5:32
Speaker 1: all right. So my first thought on this, I guess
5:34
Speaker 1: we'll say, numb burn? Can I get a numb burn?
5:40
Speaker 2: All right?
5:40
Speaker 1: All right? Enough of that, all right? So my first
5:42
Speaker 1: thought is Baywatch, as in Jalen Brunson was the lifeguard
5:46
Speaker 1: who saved the Knicks from themselves. Complete shambles for the Knicks.
5:53
Speaker 1: They were drowning, the Knickerbockers were drowning. It looked early
5:57
Speaker 1: on they were gonna blow out the pistons. They were
5:58
Speaker 1: obbing fifteen. I jotted that down on my little notes app.
6:01
Speaker 1: They were up fifteen early on, and then the pistons
6:04
Speaker 1: came back, and then the next went ahead again, and
6:06
Speaker 1: then It was a little bit bit of back and
6:08
Speaker 1: forth game, but facing a door die game seven, Jalen
6:13
Speaker 1: Brunson had to rescue his teammates from sinking into the
6:17
Speaker 1: deep blue sea of Lake Michigan. It was bad. It
6:22
Speaker 1: was bad, and the Pistons were on their way to
6:27
Speaker 1: a historical possible comeback. In game seven, Detroit was leading
6:31
Speaker 1: this by seven points with two point thirty five to Oh,
6:35
Speaker 1: that's not insurmountable. But you're up by seven with two
6:38
Speaker 1: and a half minutes to go. You're in pretty good
6:41
Speaker 1: shape unless Doc Rivers is your coach. Doc Rivers was
6:44
Speaker 1: not coaching the Pistons, but Jalen Brunson I didn't know
6:48
Speaker 1: they had this on the betch, but he put his
6:50
Speaker 1: cape on down the stretch, nerves of steel and that
6:54
Speaker 1: dagger the crossover to get some space and then the
6:58
Speaker 1: knockdown three point shot was me fantastic. Jalen Brunson went
7:02
Speaker 1: twilight zone. You're a bad man. You're a very bad man.
7:06
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson with that shot, and it was chest thumping, kissing,
7:11
Speaker 1: blown kisses up to the upper decks from the JIBBRONI up.
7:13
Speaker 1: There was a good time and it is a reminder
7:17
Speaker 1: that one big shot or a couple of big shots
7:21
Speaker 1: cover up a lot of bad shots. Jalen Brunson took
7:25
Speaker 1: fourteen shots in the fourth quarter. He only made four
7:30
Speaker 1: of them. However, it's the last shot, obviously that people
7:35
Speaker 1: will remember. They'll talk about it. Remember Jalen Brunson beat
7:37
Speaker 1: the Pistons in a playoff game in the row with
7:39
Speaker 1: that three point shot. They're not gonna say went four
7:41
Speaker 1: or fourteen in the fourth quarter, but when they were downed,
7:45
Speaker 1: when Detroit had a seven point lead, seven point lead,
7:49
Speaker 1: in really good shape, really good shape. There in the
7:53
Speaker 1: final couple minutes of the game, Jalen Brunson with was
7:56
Speaker 1: three or five, four, eight points in the comeback, New
8:00
Speaker 1: York outscored Detroit eleven to three to close out the
8:04
Speaker 1: game and turn out the last the parties over for
8:08
Speaker 1: the Pistons. Now, speaking of that, the better story is
8:11
Speaker 1: in the losing locker room, So we're gonna go there now.
8:13
Speaker 1: Despite the loss, I have been seeing a number of headlines,
8:17
Speaker 1: number of stories, number of posts on the socials with
8:20
Speaker 1: tributes pouring in that the social media world eulogizing the
8:26
Speaker 1: Pistons performance, but celebrating that the Motown Hoopers, who had
8:31
Speaker 1: not broken twenty five wins in the last five seasons.
8:37
Speaker 1: They jumped all the way up from fourteen and sixty
8:41
Speaker 1: eight to forty four and thirty eight. They were the
8:44
Speaker 1: sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. The consensus among popular
8:49
Speaker 1: people the pundits is that Detroit is now set up.
8:54
Speaker 1: They've arrived. They're a force in the Eastern Conference for
8:58
Speaker 1: years to come. Good to go. They're good to go,
9:03
Speaker 1: all right, So that's the consensus. So I ask the
9:07
Speaker 1: Esteem panel, which you are a part of, are you convinced?
9:11
Speaker 1: Are you conmissed you make the call? Are you convinced
9:14
Speaker 1: that the Cade Cunningham Pistons have a ride? So after
9:18
Speaker 1: a minute long deliberation, I am shaking my head. No
9:23
Speaker 1: again on this one, I'm shaking my head.
9:25
Speaker 3: No.
9:26
Speaker 1: This is a stinger. There was venom. There was venom there.
9:31
Speaker 1: Now there are good signs. I'm not gonna sit here
9:33
Speaker 1: and say there's no good signs. There were good signs. However,
9:36
Speaker 1: the finished product is not there, and there are no
9:39
Speaker 1: moral victories, at least not here. Maybe some other people
9:42
Speaker 1: like to give us, but the Knickerbockers, I'm Detroit, I'm
9:47
Speaker 1: spitting mad. The Knickerbockers should have lost this series, right,
9:52
Speaker 1: they were plumped for the taken. Detroit blew this series.
9:56
Speaker 1: And again, most games are lost them not one. We
9:58
Speaker 1: talk about that all the time, and this is a
9:59
Speaker 1: great exact down the stretch, four straight games were decided
10:04
Speaker 1: by three points or less. Three of them were Detroit
10:09
Speaker 1: Basketball home losses. They lost at home by two points,
10:13
Speaker 1: by one point, by three points. Now, the big picture
10:18
Speaker 1: the Pistons, if you look at that turnaround from fourteen
10:21
Speaker 1: wins to forty four wins year to year, the Pistons
10:26
Speaker 1: have been the last year the F seventeen nighthawk, and
10:30
Speaker 1: that's what they were, certainly during the regular season this
10:32
Speaker 1: year where they flew below the radar, they were not
10:34
Speaker 1: detected by any radar. And you don't just pick up
10:38
Speaker 1: or you left off. You have to start fresh. And
10:42
Speaker 1: so they go back and to the very bottom and
10:46
Speaker 1: have to push the rock back up the mountain. It's
10:49
Speaker 1: kind of like you're playing a video game and in
10:51
Speaker 1: the old days, and then the power goes out and
10:54
Speaker 1: you've got to start over. It doesn't save it. You
10:57
Speaker 1: got to go back to the very beginning, which is
11:00
Speaker 1: not ideal. All right. Now, final point to the Jalen
11:03
Speaker 1: Brunson Knickerbockers as they now have a chance or do
11:07
Speaker 1: they have a chance to upend the Celtics. That's how
11:11
Speaker 1: we're gonna frame this. Do the Jalen Brunson Knicks have
11:14
Speaker 1: a chance to upend the Celtics? Boston with home court advantage, Boston,
11:17
Speaker 1: the championship pedigree from a year ago, all that nonsense.
11:22
Speaker 1: So do the Knicks have a chance? So I look
11:25
Speaker 1: at this for the Knickerbockers. It's not ideal, but it
11:30
Speaker 1: is Kentucky bourbon. It is a puncher's chance. It is
11:34
Speaker 1: a puncher's chance. Okay. And the Celtics dominated the Knicks
11:39
Speaker 1: in their four regular season meetings. They won all four games.
11:43
Speaker 1: There was only one of them that was close. But
11:44
Speaker 1: you can't really base too much of that because certain
11:47
Speaker 1: star players don't play and so not everyone was out there.
11:51
Speaker 1: And whatever you were back in November and December, obviously
11:54
Speaker 1: you know you're not the same team. Things get better
11:57
Speaker 1: or worse, they don't stay the same. Now, the big
11:59
Speaker 1: red flag for the Knickerbockers. They played nine games against
12:03
Speaker 1: the top teams Boston, Cleveland and Oklahoma City. Nine games.
12:09
Speaker 1: Out of those nine games, how many did they win?
12:13
Speaker 1: The answer would be as many as you and I
12:16
Speaker 1: and Lorena and Coope and blind emmett Oer for nine.
12:21
Speaker 1: The Knickerbockers against Boston Cleveland in Oklahoma City, which obviously
12:25
Speaker 1: raises questions about the fraud nature of the Knickerbockers.
12:30
Speaker 4: Now.
12:30
Speaker 1: Fortunately I cannot stress this enough. Past results do not
12:34
Speaker 1: guarantee future outcomes. Boston's reliance on three point shooting is
12:39
Speaker 1: a blessing and a curse because when the threes are
12:43
Speaker 1: not falling, they struggle. They can still win it. Beat
12:47
Speaker 1: Orlando in a game they didn't make a three point
12:48
Speaker 1: shot in half, but it's much more difficult. You've also
12:51
Speaker 1: got Jalen Brown, who's taking time bomb with a knee
12:53
Speaker 1: that's all wonky. You've got Porzingis who's made out of
12:56
Speaker 1: glass most of the time. And in Game one, there's
13:00
Speaker 1: an opportunity to sneak in there and steal Game one
13:03
Speaker 1: that the Knicks have played, and played and played the Celtics.
13:07
Speaker 1: You talk about the old debate, We have it every year.
13:10
Speaker 1: Rus versus Rest, the football debate normally, but Russ versus Rest,
13:14
Speaker 1: so the Celtics have been off for a number of days.
13:16
Speaker 1: The Knicks just played here on Thursday night, so they
13:20
Speaker 1: should be ready to pounce at the beginning of the game. Now,
13:23
Speaker 1: for the Knicks, another problem is Carl Anthony Towns. Kitty
13:28
Speaker 1: cat Karl Anthony Towns is in position physically to dominate,
13:33
Speaker 1: he often does not. He often is a spectator when
13:37
Speaker 1: he's on the court. He doesn't normally move the needle
13:40
Speaker 1: in playoff games, at least he doesn't know back to
13:42
Speaker 1: back games. And you never know from game to game
13:45
Speaker 1: how Carl Anthony Towns is going to play. That's been
13:47
Speaker 1: the curse going back to his days in Minnesota. It
13:49
Speaker 1: hasn't changed with the Knickerbockers. And you know, Jalen Brunson
13:53
Speaker 1: is the real deal, and he'll get some numbers and
13:55
Speaker 1: he'll put up some good stats and all that. So
13:58
Speaker 1: when I bet on the Knicks, I wouldn't bet on
14:00
Speaker 1: the Knicks. Do I think this is gonna be a
14:02
Speaker 1: sweep by the celt I would be very surprised. This
14:05
Speaker 1: has six game series and the Celtics will lose a
14:10
Speaker 1: game they shouldn't lose early on. They'll lose a game
14:13
Speaker 1: at the Garden, But they'll end up the Madison Square Garden,
14:16
Speaker 1: both teams playing the garden, but they'll end up winning
14:18
Speaker 1: in the end. It is the Ben Mahlor Show. We'll
14:22
Speaker 1: take your phone calls. If you'd like to be part,
14:24
Speaker 1: you can join us right now eight seven seven ninety
14:28
Speaker 1: nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six
14:31
Speaker 1: six three six nine. So we have some business to
14:33
Speaker 1: take care of. I was put on the spot by
14:36
Speaker 1: people that are haters about playoff Harden. I pointed out
14:39
Speaker 1: that in his career, James Harden has been a ninety
14:42
Speaker 1: ten player, so ninety percent of the time he's been
14:44
Speaker 1: okay or good. Ten percent of his playoff career, going
14:48
Speaker 1: back to his days with the Rockets and the Oklahoma
14:50
Speaker 1: City Thunder, ten percent of the time he's been an
14:54
Speaker 1: atrocious waste of space, just dead weight. So I'll give
14:58
Speaker 1: you the numbers on that. I'll give you them math
15:00
Speaker 1: on that. We'll do that. We have to get to
15:02
Speaker 1: the equine pick them at some point here this hour
15:05
Speaker 1: as well, so we have that to get to. Also,
15:07
Speaker 1: some buyer's remorse we have that. We've got Mallard of
15:11
Speaker 1: the third degree coming up a little bit later. We
15:13
Speaker 1: go a lot of get to We'll get to all
15:14
Speaker 1: of it, and we will do it.

Speaker 2: I have had multiple minjush Oh, I bet you have.
18:21
Speaker 2: I have had them, not only at New Orleans and Disneyland.
18:25
Speaker 2: I have had them at New Orleans and New Orleans.
18:29
Speaker 2: At the plantation that I went to, they served minjullups
18:33
Speaker 2: and that one was really good.
18:34
Speaker 4: How similar is it to a mohido? It's not.
18:37
Speaker 2: It's more sweet, Oh, okay, more sugar forward, to be honest, Yeah.
18:43
Speaker 1: Sweet's not bad. It's not terrible. Terrible thing. Let me
18:46
Speaker 1: address before we get to the equine pick them. Let
18:48
Speaker 1: me address this right now Becausekoopleloop challenged me. This this dope,
18:51
Speaker 1: Jeff in Denver. What you're talking about, jyps that me explain.
18:57
Speaker 1: So I went back and I crunched the numbers on this.
18:59
Speaker 1: So James saw coming into this year again, this is
19:02
Speaker 1: not this playoff. Before this year, James Harden one hundred
19:08
Speaker 1: and sixty six playoff games in his career. So what
19:12
Speaker 1: is a bad playoff game? Using the metric that if
19:16
Speaker 1: you take ten or more field goal attempts and you
19:20
Speaker 1: make under three or underfield goals, you're not doing very well.
19:26
Speaker 1: That is the metric that we use. So James Harden's
19:28
Speaker 1: one of the all time great NBA players. He's a
19:30
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer all that, and back in his salad
19:33
Speaker 1: days with the Rockets, he was amazing during the regular season,
19:35
Speaker 1: got an average like thirty points a game, was it saying?
19:38
Speaker 1: So in the playoffs, if you have again here's the metric,
19:41
Speaker 1: ten or more attempts and under three field goals made.
19:47
Speaker 1: Out of one hundred and sixty six playoff games coming
19:49
Speaker 1: into this year, James Harden had eighteen playoff games that
19:55
Speaker 1: were horrific. That is ten point eight percent of the
19:59
Speaker 1: time that Harden would essentially ghost his team. So any
20:04
Speaker 1: other further questions coop before we move on.
20:08
Speaker 4: No, So okay, so what what constitutes.
20:11
Speaker 1: Gave it to you? I just said it. I just
20:14
Speaker 1: said it that ten or more attempts and three or
20:19
Speaker 1: under made field goals in the playoffs. So that's like,
20:24
Speaker 1: that's three for fifteen. You're terrible.
20:27
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, sure, but there's so many other things that
20:31
Speaker 6: can cost a terrible game.
20:34
Speaker 1: Okay, but this is the this is the criteria that
20:36
Speaker 1: is used. You can come up for your criteria if
20:38
Speaker 1: you well, it's my show.
20:40
Speaker 4: It's my yeah, of course, you spin everything that works.
20:43
Speaker 1: How am I spinning it? How am I spinning it?
20:45
Speaker 1: I went through one hundred and sixty six stupid games
20:48
Speaker 1: and those are the numbers.
20:50
Speaker 6: Right, And I bet you if you looked at other factors,
20:52
Speaker 6: he has a lot more terrible games than what you
20:55
Speaker 6: are portraying it as.
20:57
Speaker 1: I think that's a lot. Eighteen out of one hundred
20:59
Speaker 1: and sixty six playoff games when you're an offensive player
21:02
Speaker 1: and you don't play well, eighteen of one hundred and
21:06
Speaker 1: sixty six. I don't think historically bad. That's that's a lot.
21:11
Speaker 6: That's a lot of that's a lot of playoff games,
21:12
Speaker 6: though you're optimistic. It's a huge sample size. But I
21:15
Speaker 6: want to know, like how many turnovers you know there's
21:19
Speaker 6: you can produce?
21:20
Speaker 1: Go ahead, produce, go ahead, do the research. I've done
21:22
Speaker 1: the research. I got. I got a lot to I can't.
21:24
Speaker 1: I know you want me to be your stat guy,
21:26
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna do that.
21:27
Speaker 4: Right.
21:27
Speaker 1: Do we have any music for this? The equine Pickham
21:30
Speaker 1: and this is coming up here? We're very excited. Oh
21:33
Speaker 1: my god.
21:34
Speaker 4: Wait, I gotta have good horse music for this. Give
21:36
Speaker 4: me like thirty seconds.
21:37
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, there's no chance she knows what good
21:42
Speaker 1: horse music. No chance, no idea that she knows what
21:47
Speaker 1: the music is. And this is the the big day
21:50
Speaker 1: on Saturday. It is the one hundred and fifty first edition.
21:54
Speaker 1: Nobody cares about it because not a round number people loved.
21:56
Speaker 1: Last year it was one hundred and fiftieth Kentucky Derby.
21:59
Speaker 1: This year is the Hunt in fifty first edition, the
22:01
Speaker 1: Run for the Roses, a Triple Crown, first leg of
22:05
Speaker 1: the Triple Crown. It'll be on Saturday post time is
22:10
Speaker 1: at six point fifty seven. That's not bad. Twenty horses,
22:19
Speaker 1: although I think one of them has already been knocked out,
22:21
Speaker 1: so it's not only twenty, but the run for the
22:24
Speaker 1: roses one and one fourth mile separating the horses, and
22:29
Speaker 1: one of them will stand out on top of the
22:30
Speaker 1: great thing about the Kentucky Derby the horses don't know
22:33
Speaker 1: what the Kentucky Derby is. They just run. Somebody's hitting
22:36
Speaker 1: them with the stick and so they run. It's they
22:40
Speaker 1: have no idea what they're doing. It's the beauty of
22:42
Speaker 1: horse racing. All right, let's get to it. So we'll

27:10
Speaker 1: We do have coming up later on this hour. Mallard
27:12

27:16

27:18
Speaker 1: meaning miney mone. By the way, the number eight seven
27:20
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. That's eight
27:25
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine six six three sixty nine. If
27:28
Speaker 1: you'd like to be part of the program. And my
27:33
Speaker 1: phone thing has jammed, so I'll just take a random guess,
27:36
Speaker 1: is sir scratch Off still there? Is he?
27:38
Speaker 4: Still is he is?
27:40
Speaker 1: Oh my god, sir scratch Off? Look at that? I
27:42
Speaker 1: got lucky. Hello, sir scratch Off.
27:45

27:45
Speaker 6: Man?
27:46
Speaker 3: I want to take I want to take Patrens Spirit.
27:50
Speaker 3: It's eight to one and I'll take I'll take Castle
27:55
Speaker 3: as twenty to one.
27:58
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, you realize what you are, sports book, So
28:00
Speaker 1: how much you want on that?
28:03
Speaker 3: Well you got you know, I used to kill the
28:05
Speaker 3: dogs in Memphis, but they said they got battle or
28:07
Speaker 3: health or whatever. They quit doing it. But the horses
28:10
Speaker 3: are a whole lot better to bet on the dogs.
28:12
Speaker 3: Dogs never warned that rabbit gonna stop. They're gonna quit,
28:15
Speaker 3: So you gotta have something for the horses to do.
28:17
Speaker 3: So I go them too, right.
28:19
Speaker 5: There, and I believe that.
28:20
Speaker 3: I believe that's gonna be a good race Saturday.
28:22
Speaker 1: I'd love to be there, and I'll go five hundred.
28:26
Speaker 1: Why do you go?
28:27
Speaker 3: You just drive out because I gotta go down to
28:30
Speaker 3: this side of Oklahoma. My boy's in a big sawtball
28:33
Speaker 3: term at all weekend. He plays saw ball at the weekend.
28:35
Speaker 3: Evenin's oven. He can playing eleven years. He's really good
28:39
Speaker 3: this thing too. He's got like two rings. They go
28:41
Speaker 3: to Dallas and Oklahoma and Branson's there. They go all
28:45
Speaker 3: over the place to play ball. Yeah, he's really But anyway,
28:49
Speaker 3: that's uh. Like I said, they say it's gonna be
28:51
Speaker 3: a good race. I believe it's gonna be a good race.
28:54
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, even.
28:56
Speaker 1: If it's a bad race, it's two minutes, So who cares.
28:59
Speaker 1: It's two minutes your life. It's not a three hour
29:02
Speaker 1: NFL game or a three hour baseball game. It's it's
29:05
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes. And then it's some some
29:08
Speaker 1: NBC reporter on a horse trying to track down the
29:11
Speaker 1: winning jockeyed interview.
29:15
Speaker 3: You're right, man, I mean it's it's a go and
29:17
Speaker 3: then it's over. You know, But I don't ask you.
29:21
Speaker 3: Let me ask you a question. Do you think we
29:23
Speaker 3: really did anything at all? I mean, I'm ready for football, dude,
29:26
Speaker 3: I'm all in football right now, watching the movies play hockey.
29:28
Speaker 3: He's down on one, two, and now we're we've won
29:31
Speaker 3: two in a row and we've lost that third one,
29:33
Speaker 3: so we're down. We're down two or three. So I mean,
29:36
Speaker 3: we got to win bad.
29:38
Speaker 5: But uh, are you ready?
29:40
Speaker 3: Are you think that Rams did okay on any of
29:42
Speaker 3: the picks we did pick on that on that NFL draft,
29:47
Speaker 3: do you think we did anything at all that we
29:48
Speaker 3: should have done.
29:50
Speaker 1: Well the NFL Draft? You're talking to the wrong person.
29:54
Speaker 1: If you're looking for optimism. I'm always I'm always a
29:57
Speaker 1: skeptic on the NFL Draft. I think the Rams of
30:00
Speaker 1: I don't okay. I mean, the big move they made
30:02
Speaker 1: was not the draft. It was a free agent signing
30:04
Speaker 1: Davonte Adams, and I mean that's the guy that they're
30:08
Speaker 1: counting on to slide on in and with Cooper cup
30:12
Speaker 1: gone now that DeVante Adams still has a little bit
30:15
Speaker 1: left in the tank and can be that number two
30:17
Speaker 1: receiver next to Puka Nakua and the Rams offense can
30:21
Speaker 1: keep going here. But the good thing is last year
30:23
Speaker 1: the Rams showed that they were tough. They have to
30:24
Speaker 1: do it again. They weren't your typical soft Rams team.
30:28
Speaker 1: They actually went out there. They they gave the Eagles
30:30
Speaker 1: the toughest game the Eagles had in the playoffs, Which
30:33
Speaker 1: is it?
30:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you don't been able to take something about
30:36
Speaker 3: that game. I want I would love to play that game.
30:40
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll be honest to you. I was hurts
30:43
Speaker 3: ever since he's in Oklahoma and he went to he
30:46
Speaker 3: went to the Alabama, then back to went to Okahma,
30:49
Speaker 3: I mean after that, but then he went to you
30:51
Speaker 3: know the NFL. It hurts. I mean, he deserved to
30:54
Speaker 3: get that win. And I'm glad he beat Can't City
30:56
Speaker 3: because I can't stand the Chiefs. But you know, because
30:59
Speaker 3: everybody jumped wagon on the Rams and went over to
31:01
Speaker 3: the Chiefs when they left town, you know, so I
31:04
Speaker 3: would love to play to myself, the Rams beat the
31:06
Speaker 3: Chiefs like dog crabs, like a raally, a bunch of
31:09
Speaker 3: people's face. But I think the Rams they've done too
31:11
Speaker 3: bad last two or three years. But I would love
31:13
Speaker 3: to redone that one game. At the end, they're over
31:16
Speaker 3: because that snow and that weather. I'm not saying that
31:19
Speaker 3: stop this from winning. But it didn't help us none
31:23
Speaker 3: because Matt Stafford and boys wasn't ready for that. I
31:25
Speaker 3: just don't think we're ready for that and whatever, and.
31:28
Speaker 1: It was bad for both teams. So you're gonna and
31:30
Speaker 1: if you if you don't get home field advantage, your
31:32
Speaker 1: chances are you're gonna in the NFC. You're gonna have
31:34
Speaker 1: to go to Philadelphia in the playoffs, or you're gonna
31:37
Speaker 1: have to go to some some cold weather city to play,
31:40
Speaker 1: whether it's Green Bay or you know, somewhere in the
31:42
Speaker 1: Midwest other than there are a lot of domes though, Minnesota, Detroit.
31:46
Speaker 1: But anyway, all right, Well I've noticed now, sir, scratch off.
31:49
Speaker 1: You've you've you've weaned down to a one day a
31:51
Speaker 1: week caller. Now you're a one day a week.
31:55
Speaker 3: I'm just like I told you here a few weeks ago. Man,
31:57
Speaker 3: You like any won't talk about it when I get
31:58
Speaker 3: off the radio, but you don't. Still I'm still worry
32:01
Speaker 3: about my mother, and I've got a lot of my mind.
32:02
Speaker 3: But my mother is the cancer, so you know, we
32:04
Speaker 3: don't know what they should die. But she's been filling
32:07
Speaker 3: better see weeks, but I see any white man, I've
32:09
Speaker 3: got a lot of my mind.
32:11
Speaker 1: All right, well listen, listen. I you know, I've been there.
32:15
Speaker 1: It's everything. Everything. One's got their own situation. But just
32:19
Speaker 1: try to spend as much time.
32:20
Speaker 3: A stay way. I'm here man, I'm all.
32:22
Speaker 1: All right, all right, I gotta go, thank you. All
32:24
Speaker 1: right there he is the great Sir scratch Off, checking
32:27
Speaker 1: in doing his thing, working his magic as only he
32:32
Speaker 1: can do, as only he can do. It is the
32:36
Speaker 1: Ben Malor Show. As we are working our magic through
32:40
Speaker 1: the overnight, we have Mallard of the third degree that's
32:42
Speaker 1: coming up in a couple of minutes. Buyer's remorse. Though
32:46
Speaker 1: interesting story out of La La Land that there's some
32:50
Speaker 1: some new after the fact reporting saying the real reason
32:53
Speaker 1: the Lakers, The real reason the Lakers voided the trade
32:56
Speaker 1: with Charlotte for Mark Williams is because they were worried
33:01
Speaker 1: that they overpaid by trading Dalton Connect to Charlotte, and
33:07
Speaker 1: they saw an out the way the way I saw,
33:09
Speaker 1: the way I read the story is that they've got
33:12
Speaker 1: the medical exams and it gave them an alibi. It
33:17
Speaker 1: gave them an excuse to void the trade because they
33:20
Speaker 1: thought they had given up too much. In How many
33:23
Speaker 1: minutes did Dalton Connect play in the Zeros?
33:26
Speaker 4: It's zero bad? Zero? Yeah?
33:30
Speaker 1: Are you?
33:30
Speaker 4: Are you buying that report though?
33:32
Speaker 1: No?
33:33
Speaker 4: I yeah, I don't know.
33:36
Speaker 1: I mean, it's gotta be so. How many trades have
33:38
Speaker 1: been voided in NBA history? Not very many, Right, Most
33:41
Speaker 1: of the time you're traded, you're traded. And the guy
33:43

38:59
Speaker 6: Earlier this week, Bill's GM Brandon Bean, expressed frustration over
39:03
Speaker 6: being criticized for not drafting a receiver, and he pointed
39:06
Speaker 6: out that he was also criticized for taking josh Allen Ben.
39:09
Speaker 6: Do you think the criticism is warranted?
39:12
Speaker 1: Well, the problem is that Bills have terrible wide receiver
39:15
Speaker 1: like they scored a bunch of points in all that,
39:16
Speaker 1: but Keon Coleman, Khalil Secure and Joshua Palmer who they
39:22
Speaker 1: picked up from the Chargers does not exactly get you
39:24
Speaker 1: all horny. So they should have done something there. I
39:28
Speaker 1: know they I guess they added Elijah Moore the other
39:30
Speaker 1: day this week from Cleveland. I think the criticism is fair.
39:33
Speaker 1: This is the golden run for Josh Allen. They didn't
39:35
Speaker 1: do enough.

39:51
Speaker 1: first round series against Doc Rivers and the fucks I
39:54
Speaker 1: would not celebrate. There's there's a bunch. How about Lebron
39:57
Speaker 1: James as the most overrated? Next?
39:59
Speaker 6: Ben, The Tiger were a Cinderella story last year, but
40:01
Speaker 6: they're kind of leading the AL this year.
40:03
Speaker 4: Do you think they're the team to beat?
40:05
Speaker 1: No, they're not. They're not the team to beat. They're
40:07
Speaker 1: in the American League Central, the Central Terrible. Uh, they
40:10
Speaker 1: are not the team to beat in the American League.
