- 0:21Speaker 1: Minnesota run off the court by the Nuggets. How are
- 0:25Speaker 1: things looking for the Timberwolves right now without Aunt Edwards?
- 0:29Speaker 1: I think you know the answer to that. Also, the
- 0:32Speaker 1: Pistons on the brink of being eliminated as the number
- 0:35Speaker 1: one seed by Orlando, and we like to play the

- 3:51Speaker 1: All right, we are good on that, and we begin
- 3:54Speaker 1: anew this hour with little pro Bouncy Ball, a lot
- 3:57Speaker 1: of games ending not that far before we cracked the
- 4:02Speaker 1: powerful microphones of Fox Sports Radio. So here we are
- 4:07Speaker 1: in our lead this hour from the Mile High City
- 4:11Speaker 1: from Denver. There was game number what is it, game five? Yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 1: the that's right, the Timberwolves and Nuggets from the Mile
- 4:20Speaker 1: High City and the Wolves a chance to stomp out
- 4:23Speaker 1: like a cigarette Denver and advance out of the opening
- 4:29Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. However, they have to do it shorthanded.
- 4:34Speaker 1: That was the big lead up to the game. That
- 4:36Speaker 1: was the big storyline coming into the game. As ant
- 4:39Speaker 1: man Anthony Edwards, I know there's other people heard that
- 4:42Speaker 1: he's the headliner there and it's supposed to be out
- 4:45Speaker 1: multiple weeks. His knee went snap, crackle, pop, and so
- 4:51Speaker 1: he's out for a while. And that was the setup.
- 4:53Speaker 1: See figure right in Minnesota. Other people will step up.
- 4:57Speaker 1: How did that go? So, I don't know if you
- 4:59Speaker 1: watch this or not. Perhaps not Nicole Jokicic. He had
- 5:03Speaker 1: been a slump not evenore in lest slump buster performance
- 5:06Speaker 1: for Nikola Jokicic. There as he went out and painted
- 5:10Speaker 1: a masterpiece twenty seven points, sixteen assists and twelve rebounds,
- 5:15Speaker 1: I believe, and a partridge in a pear tree. And
- 5:18Speaker 1: the better name for that, I believe is the gangster
- 5:21Speaker 1: term the triple double. So the vintage Joker was back
- 5:26Speaker 1: for the Denver basketball team. Jamal Murray. He played well
- 5:30Speaker 1: as well. The Nuggets looked completely lost for a couple
- 5:32Speaker 1: of games. We're not here. It's amazing how much better
- 5:34Speaker 1: they look when the other team is shorthanded. Jamal Murray
- 5:37Speaker 1: twenty four points, seven assists. The Nuggets never trailed after
- 5:42Speaker 1: the first quarter. This was such an easy win. I
- 5:44Speaker 1: think Queen Roxanne cashed in on this because she's always
- 5:47Speaker 1: betting on the Nuggets. There and Denver led by as
- 5:50Speaker 1: many as twenty seven points, and so they stave off elimination.
- 5:56Speaker 1: The only time we use the word stave is in sports.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Stave off elimination. A cake walk win over Minnesota, who
- 6:04Speaker 1: still leads the series three games to two, heading back
- 6:07Speaker 1: for Game six. Little home cooking for game six. But
- 6:11Speaker 1: the better story you know where it is, Yeah, the
- 6:14Speaker 1: better stories in the losing locker room. So let us discuss.
- 6:19Speaker 1: And that's a good jumping up point. The question. You're
- 6:23Speaker 1: going to the eye doctor. You're looking at the eye chart.
- 6:26Speaker 1: So how are things looking right now? For the timm Wolves,
- 6:30Speaker 1: how are things looking? So I've got metamorphosis, Paris Baguette
- 6:35Speaker 1: and Freedo's and we will combine all of these things together,
- 6:41Speaker 1: and we are going to move within range of your
- 6:46Speaker 1: ear drums, is what we're going to do. So a
- 6:49Speaker 1: the theme for Minnesota was I have that think, that
- 6:55Speaker 1: sinking feeling. I have that sinking feelings the theme here
- 6:59Speaker 1: and the vibe in the Twin Cities. In that locker room,
- 7:02Speaker 1: it shifted from finger biting to chew your own arm off.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Holy crap, get some bass salts and start chewing your
- 7:14Speaker 1: arm off. It was like that. And then, so how
- 7:17Speaker 1: are things looking now? If you look at the forecast,
- 7:20Speaker 1: it's doom with gloom mixed in. At this point, Minnesota
- 7:25Speaker 1: looks cooked, overcooked and barely reheated, lukewarm at this particular moment,
- 7:31Speaker 1: and with Anthony Edwards out, the Wolves have become what
- 7:36Speaker 1: you'd expect the team without their top player to become.
- 7:39Speaker 1: It's a horror movie without the monster. Where did the
- 7:42Speaker 1: monster go? I don't see the monster. Where did the
- 7:44Speaker 1: monster mash? There's no monster? So they didn't manage to
- 7:48Speaker 1: hang around loosely. I say, hang around for twenty four minutes,
- 7:52Speaker 1: which is fine. The problem is, and I don't know
- 7:54Speaker 1: how to get around this. I'm sure these players would
- 7:56Speaker 1: love to play less than that, because we know they
- 7:58Speaker 1: don't like playing in the regular season, so I'm sure
- 8:00Speaker 1: they would love to play less than forty eight minutes. However,
- 8:03Speaker 1: they have yet to change that rule, so it's still
- 8:05Speaker 1: forty eight minutes. So if you play okay for twenty
- 8:07Speaker 1: four minutes, and I guess the fourth quarter, which is
- 8:10Speaker 1: garbage time because of the third quarter onslought there a
- 8:14Speaker 1: bombardment by the Nuggets halftime adjustments. Nothing's changed more in
- 8:19Speaker 1: my lifetime. Wink wink, nod nod. Denver outscored Minnesota thirty
- 8:24Speaker 1: seven to twenty four. They turned what had been somewhat
- 8:27Speaker 1: competitive the game into a basketball clinic. And that's how
- 8:33Speaker 1: that went. The Nuggets didn't just run their offense, did
- 8:37Speaker 1: not just run the offense, they ran essentially. It was
- 8:39Speaker 1: like a Ted Talk on ball movement, if my math
- 8:42Speaker 1: is correct. They finished with thirty five assists and they
- 8:46Speaker 1: shot over fifty five percent of the like fifty six percent.
- 8:50Speaker 1: I gotta look at the box score, but it was
- 8:52Speaker 1: it was good. And meanwhile, all those really nice things
- 8:55Speaker 1: that were being said and written about Rudy Gobert and
- 8:57Speaker 1: that he'd cracked the code, he had solved the issues
- 9:02Speaker 1: that he had had in the past, and that he
- 9:04Speaker 1: was now the Jokic stopper. And there were many basketball
- 9:07Speaker 1: Bleeding Heart bloggers that wrote that very thing, that Gobert
- 9:12Speaker 1: had solved it. He had after years and years of studying,
- 9:16Speaker 1: he had figured it out, and he went from the
- 9:19Speaker 1: Jokic stopper to the Jokic spectator. Did he buy a ticket?
- 9:23Speaker 1: Did he know he did not buy a ticket? Okay, well,
- 9:26Speaker 1: here you go. The defense was just strictly optional in
- 9:28Speaker 1: general for Minnesota. When you allow a team to get
- 9:31Speaker 1: that many assists, you've done something terribly wrong. There's no movement,
- 9:36Speaker 1: there was no foot movie, you know. To me, the
- 9:38Speaker 1: imia don't need me to break it down. I'm just
- 9:40Speaker 1: pointing that out anyway. So ant Man with him out
- 9:45Speaker 1: of the lineup for the Wolves, Gonzo the team undergoing
- 9:49Speaker 1: a metamorphosis so that they need that superhero ant Man obviously,
- 9:53Speaker 1: and they didn't have the fire Breathing Dragon, and they
- 9:57Speaker 1: replaced the fire Breathing Dragon without him in the lineup.
- 10:01Speaker 1: They had a clown with halatosis, which is granted, you
- 10:05Speaker 1: don't want to get near someone that has alatosis. However,
- 10:08Speaker 1: it's not the same as a fire breathing dragon. It's
- 10:10Speaker 1: just not and going back for some home cooking. Sure,
- 10:14Speaker 1: the Wolves utility players who are going to have to
- 10:19Speaker 1: play because Ann Edward's gonna be out for a couple
- 10:21Speaker 1: of weeks. Which the way this looked in this game,
- 10:24Speaker 1: do want to be a prisoner of the moment? It
- 10:26Speaker 1: did not look like that's gonna be He's gonna be
- 10:28Speaker 1: able to play again. Like that's it. They'll be done
- 10:30Speaker 1: by the time he comes back and go fishing in
- 10:32Speaker 1: can Kooner go to court with all the women suing
- 10:35Speaker 1: him for children? I don't know do any of that,
- 10:36Speaker 1: but anyway, listen, the role players will step up at home.
- 10:40Speaker 1: You got to keep it real based on we do
- 10:41Speaker 1: the show right now looking at things this makeshift lineup
- 10:46Speaker 1: for the Timberwolves. It's like dropping a bowling ball into
- 10:50Speaker 1: Lake Superior and saying, well, can it float? Well, no,
- 10:53Speaker 1: it's not gonna float. No, it's sinking. That's what they do.
- 10:56Speaker 1: You drop a bowling ball off a boat in the
- 10:58Speaker 1: middle of the lake, It's gonna fall to the bottom
- 10:59Speaker 1: of leg Now meanwhile, speing a falling free falling. We
- 11:03Speaker 1: love losers. On the Ben Mahler Show, we talk losers.
- 11:07Speaker 1: And how about this the Orlando the Orlando Magic, And
- 11:13Speaker 1: I don't think I was alive the last time the
- 11:14Speaker 1: Orlando Magic won a playoff series. Orlando one win away
- 11:19Speaker 1: from taking down the number one seed and winning their
- 11:24Speaker 1: first playoff series in sixteen years. Holly, crap on a cracker,
- 11:29Speaker 1: I understand a bad couple of years. Sixteen years. That
- 11:33Speaker 1: means a child is born as in high school, in
- 11:37Speaker 1: their life they never witnessed. That's like the Magic winning
- 11:42Speaker 1: a playff series. That's like the Raiders when they drafted
- 11:44Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza this year. They've never won a playoff game
- 11:48Speaker 1: in his life. There are some really sucky teams in sports.
- 11:51Speaker 1: The Orlando Magic had been one of those teams over
- 11:54Speaker 1: the years, but not right now. As Desmond Baine, we
- 11:58Speaker 1: love the name eight villain name Desmond Bain, and the
- 12:03Speaker 1: great Franz Wagner stepped up. Bain had twenty two points,
- 12:07Speaker 1: Wagner with nineteen in three quarters. The Magic make the
- 12:13Speaker 1: team from Motown vanish at least for a little bit.
- 12:17Speaker 1: In ninety four to eighty eight the final, it was
- 12:20Speaker 1: a close game. It was anyone's game in the fourth
- 12:23Speaker 1: quarter and the team that's the lesser team made the play.
- 12:26Speaker 1: So that means, if my math is correct, the Magic
- 12:29Speaker 1: are now up three games to one. They have a
- 12:31Speaker 1: lead in that series, and they are on the brink
- 12:34Speaker 1: of eliminating the Big Bad Pistons. And the Pistons are back.
- 12:39Speaker 1: The Pistons are back. The Pistons are back. No, they're not. No,
- 12:42Speaker 1: they're not. No, they're not not right now, not good.
- 12:45Speaker 1: So Game five will be Wednesday, back in Michigan. The
- 12:48Speaker 1: better story, though, is in the losing locker room and
- 12:52Speaker 1: the question who gets the biggest slice of the Detroit
- 12:57Speaker 1: style blame pizza for the Pistons. So the Pistons didn't
- 13:02Speaker 1: just lose this particular game. It's bigger than that. They
- 13:06Speaker 1: filed a formal request and if you saw this online
- 13:09Speaker 1: or not, a formal request to exit the postseason as
- 13:13Speaker 1: quickly as possible, because they're on their way. They are
- 13:17Speaker 1: on their way to doing just that. And Detroit looked
- 13:22Speaker 1: like they had swallowed a bottle of stupid pills and
- 13:26Speaker 1: then they chased that down with a gallon of confusion,
- 13:29Speaker 1: which we do not recommend. And you can't be the
- 13:33Speaker 1: top seed in a conference and play like you're trying
- 13:38Speaker 1: to get a higher draft pick. You want more lottery balls.
- 13:42Speaker 1: And the way they play, that's the old Pistons. Like
- 13:45Speaker 1: this is just dumb, da dum, dumb dumb watching these
- 13:49Speaker 1: guys play, Kid Cuttingham, he gets the appetizers, he gets
- 13:53Speaker 1: half the Detroit style pie as well, we'll give them
- 13:56Speaker 1: half the pizza pie here. Kid Cuttingham, who was a
- 13:59Speaker 1: former top pick himself, played like he was auditioning for
- 14:05Speaker 1: a job at Paris bag Get, but not just Paris
- 14:07Speaker 1: bag Get. He wanted to be the guy handing out
- 14:10Speaker 1: the turnovers like it was the grand opening of the franchise,
- 14:14Speaker 1: like they were opening a new Paris Baget, and he
- 14:16Speaker 1: wanted to hand him out eight eight turnovers, eight of them,
- 14:20Speaker 1: many of them really atrocious, like some turnovers like okay,
- 14:25Speaker 1: I get it. And then there are some that are
- 14:27Speaker 1: just bonehead plays. And he had a lot of those,
- 14:30Speaker 1: a lot of charitable contributions for Cad Cunningham to the
- 14:34Speaker 1: Orlando Transition Fund because those turnovers often lead to easy
- 14:40Speaker 1: points for the opposition, and a lot of donations there
- 14:44Speaker 1: now the supporting cast also for the Pistons. I circled
- 14:48Speaker 1: a couple of names on the notes app on my
- 14:50Speaker 1: phone when I was watching this monstrosity and Duncan Robinson. Now,
- 14:55Speaker 1: we don't only talk about Duncan Robinson because he's a
- 14:57Speaker 1: role player. Duncan Robinson, though we've determined he played with
- 15:01Speaker 1: the Miami. He's pounced around a little bit, and he
- 15:04Speaker 1: wasn't just cold like they needed to call medical professionals
- 15:09Speaker 1: because it was like frostbite with Duncan Robinson here. It
- 15:12Speaker 1: was not a good situation there. And if he's not
- 15:16Speaker 1: hitting the outside shot, which he did not consistently make
- 15:20Speaker 1: the three point shot in this game, Duncan Robinson, you're
- 15:24Speaker 1: better off if you're the Pistons grabbing eighty one year
- 15:28Speaker 1: old broadcaster George Blaha and putting him out there than
- 15:32Speaker 1: Duncan Robinson. Okay, because at least Blaja knows Piston's history.
- 15:36Speaker 1: I don't know that Duncan Robinson does, so put him
- 15:39Speaker 1: out there. Meanwhile, Jalen Duran got absolutely posterized on a
- 15:45Speaker 1: hammered dunk by some guy I've never heard of on
- 15:49Speaker 1: Orlando and Isaiah Stewart who's like the baddest man. He's
- 15:52Speaker 1: like the only bad boy kind of player on the Pistons.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Really and really quiet, very very quiet for Detroit all
- 16:01Speaker 1: series long, compared to what they had done in the
- 16:04Speaker 1: regular season, and the interior dominance which you just assumed
- 16:10Speaker 1: would show up for the Pistons has not shown up.
- 16:14Speaker 1: It was expected to be that way, and they would
- 16:17Speaker 1: physically exert their will. That has not taken place against
- 16:20Speaker 1: a Orlando team. We'd already been determined they're going to
- 16:22Speaker 1: fire their coach because they don't like him, the players
- 16:26Speaker 1: don't like him, and all those things that were being
- 16:29Speaker 1: tossed out into the grapevine, and so far that has
- 16:33Speaker 1: not materialized. It's actually Detroit coach JB. Bickerstaff who's got
- 16:37Speaker 1: to be looking behind his back at this point if
- 16:39Speaker 1: the Pistons do not get this done, and it's not
- 16:42Speaker 1: like they've had a back breaking injury to have that
- 16:45Speaker 1: as the excuse. The fall guy, the rotations the Pistons
- 16:49Speaker 1: have been. The word I will use is be drackled
- 16:53Speaker 1: and frazzled to another word I will use the Pistons
- 16:55Speaker 1: here in Detroit. If they do end up losing this series,
- 16:58Speaker 1: and they're real, real close to losing this series, then
- 17:02Speaker 1: they might have to just change the name from Pistons,
- 17:05Speaker 1: get rid of the name Pistons and rebrand it. They
- 17:08Speaker 1: can be the Detroit Squeaky Breaks because they're clearly the
- 17:11Speaker 1: breaks are squeaking. You might want to go down to
- 17:14Speaker 1: pet Boys. Get that checked out now. Last word to
- 17:17Speaker 1: the Valley of the Sun we Go or shade jogis
- 17:21Speaker 1: Alexander the former Clipper thirty one points and chet Holmgren
- 17:26Speaker 1: who looks like Skeletor added twenty four And Okac the
- 17:31Speaker 1: reigning champions of pro bouncy Ball beat the Suns yet again,
- 17:36Speaker 1: and they say, let's crank up the band for the
- 17:39Speaker 1: Phoenix basketball team. Na da da daa Hey, good bye,
- 17:46Speaker 1: see you later. Sons four games, sweep, kick in your ass,
- 17:50Speaker 1: get out of here, so they're done business like for
- 17:53Speaker 1: Oklahoma City and overbody Kyrie in Oka See the only
- 17:57Speaker 1: known Thunder fan that contributes to the show a lot
- 17:59Speaker 1: of her months. I know he's happy wherever Kyrie is
- 18:03Speaker 1: that his Thunder from down under got it done in
- 18:07Speaker 1: a large way. Now, Oklahoma City, if you look at
- 18:10Speaker 1: their recent play last three seasons, they have played twelve
- 18:13Speaker 1: first round games their record twelve. In all, they have
- 18:17Speaker 1: not lost a single game in the first round. I
- 18:19Speaker 1: didn't play in the NBA. That sounds pretty good, and
- 18:23Speaker 1: it gets even better. They have another cupcake lined up
- 18:27Speaker 1: most likely the Lakers are purple and gold cupcake. That
- 18:31Speaker 1: should be a sweet Ballso for Oklahoma they should be
- 18:33Speaker 1: sitting at eight and oh, they should be eight and
- 18:36Speaker 1: oher going to the conference to the second or third round,
- 18:39Speaker 1: third round of the playoffs, because the Lakers are not
- 18:43Speaker 1: that good and Houston's no good. So either way, they're
- 18:46Speaker 1: playing a tomato can in the second round, Oklahoma City,
- 18:48Speaker 1: so they're gonna win that. Meanwhile, the story here is
- 18:51Speaker 1: in the losing locker room. Phoenix has had now ten
- 18:55Speaker 1: straight losses in the playoffs. Ten straight losses. They going
- 19:01Speaker 1: back to twenty twenty three, way back. I mean that
- 19:03Speaker 1: was a long time ago, twenty twenty three, and they
- 19:05Speaker 1: have not won a playoff game. And that's on my
- 19:07Speaker 1: own ten. So the question why are things so bleak
- 19:11Speaker 1: for Devin Booker in the Valley of the Sun. Why
- 19:14Speaker 1: are things so bleak? So to me, Devin Booker's got
- 19:18Speaker 1: to eat this. No barbecue sauce, no honey mustard, and
- 19:22Speaker 1: maybe ranch stressing because that's the devil's blood. But that's it.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Ten straight playoff loss is ten ten for the team
- 19:31Speaker 1: from Arizona. There at some point here, if you're an authentic,
- 19:37Speaker 1: non ripoff franchise player, don't you stop the bleeding on that.
- 19:42Speaker 4: Now.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I'm not saying you win if you're under man, I'm
- 19:45Speaker 1: not saying that. My argument is that if you are
- 19:47Speaker 1: a truly dominant super nova in that business of pro
- 19:52Speaker 1: bouncy ball, you don't lose ten in a row as
- 19:54Speaker 1: the headliner in the plus. Is that a fair argument
- 19:57Speaker 1: or not? I believe that is a fair argument to
- 19:59Speaker 1: make about Devin Booker. And I know the fanboys will
- 20:02Speaker 1: make all kinds of excuses because that's what they do,
- 20:04Speaker 1: and the box and the algorithm and all that. Oh
- 20:08Speaker 1: what is this guy? I don't believe we love Devin Booker.
- 20:11Speaker 1: He buys lemonade from kids. Okay, great, he's not getting
- 20:15Speaker 1: paid hundreds of millions of dollars for that. And my god,
- 20:19Speaker 1: Booker is not just the face of the franchise. No,
- 20:24Speaker 1: he's the face of the collapse. What has going on here?
- 20:27Speaker 1: And Phoenix? You watch them in these playoffs and it
- 20:31Speaker 1: just very generic. It feels very generic, like a generic
- 20:35Speaker 1: Cereal box where they've got a lot of bright colors.
- 20:39Speaker 1: And not a lot of flavor. There's just not a
- 20:41Speaker 1: lot of flavor there, and a real superstar is able
- 20:45Speaker 1: to take generic parts and at least for a game
- 20:48Speaker 1: or two, make them look premium. You feel me on that,
- 20:53Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think we can
- 20:55Speaker 1: all agree on that. I see you nod in your head.
- 20:56Speaker 5: Yes.
- 20:56Speaker 1: And so Devin Booker. I thought of this when I
- 21:00Speaker 1: was making the long drive in from the north Woods here.
- 21:04Speaker 1: And Devin Booker should be sponsored by Freedo's. He's the
- 21:09Speaker 1: cousin of the Freeto Bandito. The stat Bandito is his name.
- 21:18Speaker 1: He's the first cousin, first cousin of the Freeto Banditito,
- 21:21Speaker 1: stealing stats while the wins are not there. And where's
- 21:26Speaker 1: the after burner? Where is the after burner? Where's the Hey,
- 21:30Speaker 1: I'm going to put my team on the back game
- 21:32Speaker 1: and we're not gonna get swept. We're gonna go wreck
- 21:35Speaker 1: at Ralph Turbo time. I didn't see that, did you
- 21:38Speaker 1: see that? I didn't see that. I did see a
- 21:40Speaker 1: lot of good bitching at the officials, though I did
- 21:42Speaker 1: see that a lot of complaining and blaming the referees
- 21:47Speaker 1: rather than just yourself for not being good enough to
- 21:51Speaker 1: get her done, and as a franchise in general, aside
- 21:54Speaker 1: from Devin Booker, it's the Beg's classic man in the middle.
- 21:59Speaker 1: They're just in the middle. They're right around playoff team
- 22:02Speaker 1: and can't seem to get They tried, they tried to
- 22:06Speaker 1: bring in Devin you know, they brought Devin Bookers some help,
- 22:09Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, and they brought in Bradley Beal and that
- 22:12Speaker 1: didn't work. And man, the Sun's fanatics will say, well,
- 22:16Speaker 1: Devin Booker's not the problem. You just don't watch the team. Okay,
- 22:19Speaker 1: I would argue he's not the solution either. Is that fair?
- 22:22Speaker 1: He's not the solution. Ether it is the Ben Mahlor Show.

- 26:29Speaker 1: calling out, calling out his teammates for their performance or
- 26:34Speaker 1: lack thereof performance, always good content for talk radio. When
- 26:39Speaker 1: an NBA player decides to unload on his teammates, and
- 26:43Speaker 1: in this case, it is deserved. It is deserved and
- 26:49Speaker 1: we talked about all the games, three of them. The well,
- 26:51Speaker 1: this Oklahoma City series with the Suns is over. Noana, Nana, no,

- 27:18Speaker 1: Mallard monologues. I don't give a blankety blank blank about
- 27:23Speaker 1: the NBA. However, when you're getting after it, i'd pay attention.
- 27:27Speaker 1: Look at that. Yeah. I did hear a number of
- 27:30Speaker 1: complaints from people at the Malad meet and Greek that
- 27:32Speaker 1: we talk too much NBA and I only I talk.
- 27:35Speaker 1: I would say over the years, I used to talk
- 27:37Speaker 1: during the playoffs, I'd say ninety percent NBA. I do
- 27:40Speaker 1: about twenty five percent NBA. Now is that fair? I
- 27:44Speaker 1: used to do eighty five percent NBA and even twenty
- 27:48Speaker 1: five percent. You guys lose your mind. But I appreciate that.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Patrick is like, hey, I still listen, so we thank you.

- 28:39Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of play by play stuff. And
- 28:41Speaker 1: he's a family man now, and I see that, right,
- 28:43Speaker 1: My daddy might correct on that.
- 28:44Speaker 2: I don't.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Daddy's daddy, Oh my god, holy crap. Okay, are we

- 29:14Speaker 1: it's fun that you mentioned our names along with our
- 29:16Speaker 1: favorite sponsors. It can also get contentious regardless, Thank you
- 29:20Speaker 1: very much. Oh my, is that alf Fergdog and malar
- 29:24Speaker 1: Prop guy fighting over who goes first in who gets
- 29:28Speaker 1: their name mentioned first? And then he sent a photo
- 29:33Speaker 1: of a cartoon of Ferg Dog doing the laundry of
- 29:37Speaker 1: Brian Finley, who's part of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association. Yeah,
- 29:42Speaker 1: there you go, all right, Uh super Marcus Steve says,
- 29:45Speaker 1: rerecket Ralph never went turbo time. That would be the
- 29:48Speaker 1: villain turbo wrecked Ralph wrecked it will fix it, Felix,
- 29:51Speaker 1: fix it super much, Steve, You have like a stick
- 29:54Speaker 1: shoved up your your caboose. Okay, it's a reference from
- 29:58Speaker 1: Wreckett Ralph. Dumb. That's why I use the Wrecket Ralph name.
- 30:03Speaker 1: More people know that, and very few people leave there's
- 30:06Speaker 1: an old movie. Now that's an old movie, but I
- 30:09Speaker 1: still use record Ralph as a reference. And yes, fix
- 30:12Speaker 1: it feels. Every once in a while I'll use fix
- 30:14Speaker 1: it feels. People don't know what that is. Let's go
- 30:16Speaker 1: to the phones and a man that only calls us
- 30:18Speaker 1: when the Denver Nuggets win a playoff game and we
- 30:22Speaker 1: haven't heard from him in a while. That would be
- 30:24Speaker 1: Jeff in Denver, who crawls out after the Nuggets win
- 30:27Speaker 1: a playoff game and things are looking optimistic for the
- 30:29Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets right now. Hello Jeff in the Mile High City.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Hey man, it's just that I haven't stayed up this
- 30:37Speaker 5: late enough to finally get in. But I don't know
- 30:39Speaker 5: if you have access to the postgame show of the
- 30:43Speaker 5: Nuggets on Altitude. But we were there tonight and my
- 30:48Speaker 5: friend's nine year old son they decided they knew this
- 30:52Speaker 5: little free throw thing for prizes. Yeah, there was like
- 30:55Speaker 5: ten people lined up. They usually have to go through
- 30:57Speaker 5: the line two or three times for someone to make one.
- 30:59Speaker 5: Because Ram is like, who daisy, But his son is
- 31:04Speaker 5: nine years old and he canned it on the first shot,
- 31:08Speaker 5: one and done. Look behind him and like everybody else,
- 31:12Speaker 5: sit down one and done? My ball?
- 31:15Speaker 1: Yeah? Does that is he a ringer?
- 31:19Speaker 5: I don't know, but he's nine years old?
- 31:20Speaker 1: All right?
- 31:21Speaker 5: They didn't okay, they hadn't you.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Give the kid a full name recognition. Okay, well, good
- 31:26Speaker 1: for him. I'm happy that he made good job by
- 31:28Speaker 1: that's a great life memory.
- 31:29Speaker 5: But that that game tonight might have only been twelve,
- 31:32Speaker 5: but they were up by twenty seven.
- 31:35Speaker 1: I know they It was like kind of close for
- 31:38Speaker 1: a half and that was it. I got you, but
- 31:41Speaker 1: it killed me.
- 31:42Speaker 5: I'm a fifty eight and I'm as old as it gets,
- 31:44Speaker 5: and it kills me. You're up by twenty seven, put
- 31:46Speaker 5: your foot on the game.
- 31:47Speaker 1: They were not good. You didn't think they were going
- 31:49Speaker 1: to lose the game? Did you come on now?
- 31:51Speaker 5: No?
- 31:51Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. This happens a lot in the NBA. They no,
- 31:56Speaker 1: But yeah.
- 31:58Speaker 5: My beef, and it's been the Nuggets all fifteen years.
- 32:01Speaker 5: Might be is like, you're up by twenty seven, put
- 32:05Speaker 5: them down by forty and kill them. Oklahoma City, if
- 32:08Speaker 5: you're up by twenty seven, Oklahoma City would have put
- 32:10Speaker 5: that to forty.
- 32:12Speaker 1: Yeah, that's rare though. Most teams are more like what
- 32:14Speaker 1: the Nuggets do, where they just kind of yeah, they
- 32:16Speaker 1: get bored. And I would agree with you, I know,
- 32:20Speaker 1: but I have listen. Same thing in the NFL, Right,
- 32:23Speaker 1: you go up by three, scores go up by four
- 32:25Speaker 1: or five scores instead you let the team kind of
- 32:28Speaker 1: sneak back in field goal here, touchdown there, like, No,
- 32:32Speaker 1: what's wrong with you?
- 32:32Speaker 5: It's not about making it's not about making friends.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Very well, they all are friends, though they all fratnize.
- 32:38Speaker 1: They're all buddies. That's that's one of the things. So
- 32:41Speaker 1: but no, you hate that they're friends. You don't like
- 32:43Speaker 1: their friends. You don't like that their friend. Well, i'll
- 32:46Speaker 1: see if the clib Okay, all.
- 32:47Speaker 5: Right, but check that right now, go to all right, I'll.
- 32:50Speaker 1: Go job Maybes online. I'll look on social media. I'll
- 32:53Speaker 1: see if I can find it. Nine year old kid
- 32:56Speaker 1: wins shooting contest at Nuggets game. Okay, I'm all right,
- 33:01Speaker 1: thank you, Jeff, go to bed. There's there's Jeff. Let's
- 33:05Speaker 1: say hello to Bud. Bud is in Oakland, where we
- 33:09Speaker 1: at some point have to do a Mallard meet and greet.
- 33:11Speaker 1: We haven't heard from Alam to Lou in a while.
- 33:13Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 33:13Speaker 1: We were hoping to do it, but we were just
- 33:15Speaker 1: too busy. Well we were busy. Does that mean Alam
- 33:17Speaker 1: Lou hates us now because we didn't go to his
- 33:19Speaker 1: establishment Now he hasn't called in a while or is
- 33:21Speaker 1: Bay Area sports so depressing that he can't take himself
- 33:25Speaker 1: to call because things are not going particularly well for
- 33:27Speaker 1: the teams in the Bay Area. What's going on there, Bud?
- 33:34Speaker 5: Oh Man?
- 33:34Speaker 7: You like that? Man? We do it better than some
- 33:37Speaker 7: but worse than others. You know, I'm there, hey, but
- 33:39Speaker 7: listen right, Yeah, I think that Thunders. I think the
- 33:42Speaker 7: Thunders setting themselves up to really just run the table
- 33:45Speaker 7: on everybody. Honestly, I tell a lot of people like
- 33:48Speaker 7: they remind me of the Warriors a few years ago,
- 33:50Speaker 7: just the way they're just running up and down. You know,
- 33:52Speaker 7: It's like they'd take those ingredients and took it to
- 33:54Speaker 7: another level.
- 33:58Speaker 1: Uh man.
- 33:59Speaker 7: Honestly, yeah, I think the Suns just need to go
- 34:02Speaker 7: ahead and just blow it up. They need to find
- 34:05Speaker 7: another alternative to whatever it is they're doing. I'm not sure,
- 34:08Speaker 7: but yeah, Devin Booker for sure is not the answer.
- 34:11Speaker 7: What I can say is is that it might be
- 34:16Speaker 7: over for the Timberwolves. If a man's not coming back,
- 34:20Speaker 7: they can hang it up as well, just you know,
- 34:23Speaker 7: get ready for next season, get them somewhere else. What
- 34:26Speaker 7: I did like about the draft is that, yeah, my Raiders,
- 34:29Speaker 7: they actually bought some promison pieces, and everybody still has
- 34:32Speaker 7: to get on the field and play. I think the
- 34:34Speaker 7: Jets had a good draft. The Cardinals actually had a
- 34:37Speaker 7: good draft. A lot of people aren't talking about what
- 34:39Speaker 7: the Cardinals did. I know, the coaching and everything is
- 34:42Speaker 7: not really up to par. But in the Browns as well.
- 34:46Speaker 7: But just real quick, if you bear with me, there's
- 34:49Speaker 7: a story that came out that I feel like kind
- 34:52Speaker 7: they got like slipped under the rug and a lot
- 34:53Speaker 7: of people weren't talking about. And the great coach k
- 34:58Speaker 7: grandson got called driving for a dui and he killed
- 35:03Speaker 7: a fifteen year old child. Uh, he admitted to being drunk.
- 35:07Speaker 7: Hiss tax to coology report came back eleven percent and
- 35:10Speaker 7: he was able to bail out on bail for one
- 35:12Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars. Now, coincidentally, a couple of years ago,
- 35:16Speaker 7: his brother got arrested for dui driving as well, but
- 35:21Speaker 7: he didn't kill anyone, but he ended up getting like
- 35:23Speaker 7: probation time or something like that. And I just don't
- 35:27Speaker 7: like the fact that this family said he have a
- 35:30Speaker 7: repeated offensive and no one's learned the learned the lesson
- 35:34Speaker 7: from it. It's like they're living off their their grandfather's name.
- 35:37Speaker 7: They're living off the money that they have and this
- 35:40Speaker 7: instead of getting slaps on the wrist. I don't know
- 35:42Speaker 7: what's going to happen with the guy. I haven't heard
- 35:44Speaker 7: any hair waves, and no one talking about the story.
- 35:46Speaker 7: I feel like it's being swept under rug. But this
- 35:48Speaker 7: kid or this guy killed a fifteen year old kid
- 35:51Speaker 7: man for drinking and driving.
- 35:54Speaker 1: I never I didn't hear about it, but I mean
- 35:56Speaker 1: what you're saying. If you're telling me that what you said,
- 35:58Speaker 1: it sounds like, well, coach has got a lot of
- 36:01Speaker 1: power obviously, so you know when you have power, I mean,
- 36:03Speaker 1: you kill somebody. I don't think he's gonna get probation
- 36:05Speaker 1: though you're gonna go to you're.
- 36:07Speaker 7: Gonna gi It's just such that people with power still
- 36:10Speaker 7: get off on these things. That's just what I'm saying.
- 36:12Speaker 7: I'm a regular guy. But but that family, that fifteen
- 36:17Speaker 7: year old son is ball. But yet this guy is
- 36:19Speaker 7: walking around on one hundred downs dollars bond because of
- 36:22Speaker 7: his his his grandfather, and I hear.
- 36:25Speaker 1: You, I didn't. I didn't see it. I'll have to
- 36:28Speaker 1: have to look that up. But thank you. All right,
- 36:30Speaker 1: the great Bud there thank you dropping the hammer on
- 36:33Speaker 1: Coach k and his family. All Right, it is the
- 36:40Speaker 1: ban Malord Show. So Tobias Harris with a body blow,
- 36:45Speaker 1: body blow, slamming the Detroit Pistons roster his teammates. There,
- 36:51Speaker 1: Tobias Harris taking shots at the the roster. He gave
- 36:55Speaker 1: a review of the Pistons approach to game number four.
- 37:00Speaker 1: He addressed the team and said, a lot of that
- 37:03Speaker 1: is our fault. Some of are coverages and whatnot. He's
- 37:07Speaker 1: talking about not taking care of the basketball, and he
- 37:09Speaker 1: essentially said the Pistons is a quote he said, We've
- 37:13Speaker 1: got to be more ready to go out there and
