0:19
Speaker 1: as they get it done. Does Warrior coach Steve Kerr
0:22
Speaker 1: deserve to be criticized for failing to adapt with Steph
0:26
Speaker 1: Curry out of the lineup? Also, what did you take
0:30
Speaker 1: away from Draymond Green and his viral postgame rant about
0:35
Speaker 1: not being an angry black man? Even though the story
0:38
Speaker 1: is not about that. It's about him getting into foul trouble,
0:41
Speaker 1: technical foul trouble. Everyone's been talking about that. I'll give
0:44
Speaker 1: you my ten cents and have Anthony Edwards and the
0:48
Speaker 1: Timberwoll solve the Warriors riddle. We'll get to that as well,
0:53
Speaker 1: don't forget. Also today the Fifth Hour podcast a new
0:57

1:03
Speaker 1: gotta share this story. It's it's a wild story. We'll
1:07
Speaker 1: have that. And also one of the more zany calls
1:11
Speaker 1: that we had this week on the show. We'll look
1:12
Speaker 1: back at that as well. On the fifth hour podcast.
1:15
Speaker 1: But here it is our number one enjoy.
1:22
Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
1:32
Speaker 1: A case of Fool's gold, if you will, welcome in
1:39
Speaker 1: the beginning of yet another night of the Ben Malor Show.
1:43
Speaker 1: We are in the air everywhere as we eat the
1:48
Speaker 1: clock and set up a back channel coast, the coast, border,
1:52
Speaker 1: the border and beyond on the vast and uncommonly powerful
1:57
Speaker 1: microphones of FSR am monating live from the flight deck
2:03
Speaker 1: as we are soaring on the Red Eye all night
2:06
Speaker 1: long from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
2:11
Speaker 1: Gunner in Minnesota, Femi, the Uber East Driver, and all
2:16
Speaker 1: the other characters there in the Twin Cities who are
2:19
Speaker 1: very happy right now. I don't know why they're very happy.
2:21
Speaker 1: I guess we'll get to that right now our lead
2:23
Speaker 1: this hour. By the way, before we get going here,
2:24
Speaker 1: I just want to mention this portion of the show
2:26
Speaker 1: made possible by our friends at tire Raq. For forty years.
2:30
Speaker 1: Over forty years, that's a long time. Ti Raq has
2:32
Speaker 1: been helping customers find the right tires for how, what
2:36
Speaker 1: and where they drive, ship fast and free back by
2:39
Speaker 1: free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile
2:44
Speaker 1: tire installation tire rac dot com the Way Tire Buying
2:48
Speaker 1: show be so our lead this hour is from Minneapolis.
2:53
Speaker 1: That was the scene Game two of the Western Conference
2:59
Speaker 1: semi finals. Just one game, an island game, the island life.
3:03
Speaker 1: That's what we say. You know, in the NFL, when
3:05
Speaker 1: there's only a game on like Monday or Sunday night
3:08
Speaker 1: or Thursday, is one game, it's an island game. Well,
3:10
Speaker 1: usually in the NBA there's double barrel action in the
3:12
Speaker 1: first couple of rounds of the playoffs, but not tonight.
3:15
Speaker 1: The only game in action on the Thursday night card. There.
3:18
Speaker 1: In basketball, there were some hockey games that were classic,
3:21
Speaker 1: but we talked basketball. So the Warriors without shorthanded without
3:25
Speaker 1: Steph Curry as the hammy went whammy for the Warrior guards.
3:31
Speaker 1: So they were looking to try to sneak out of
3:33
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities with another surprise when Currey played thirteen
3:36
Speaker 1: minutes in Game one before he grabbed his leg in
3:40
Speaker 1: agony and hopped off the court. So that was the
3:44
Speaker 1: set of Anthony Edwards, who sucked at a time you
3:46
Speaker 1: cannot suck in Game one, looking to have the bounce
3:48
Speaker 1: back for the for the Wolves. If you were watching
3:51
Speaker 1: this or not? What was Joyous Randall who had an
3:55
Speaker 1: up and down day himself, but he finished with twenty
3:57
Speaker 1: four points eleven rebounds. And the Timber, who jumped out
4:06
Speaker 1: to a thirteen nothing lead on their way to a
4:09
Speaker 1: Harvard boat race they never trailed, ended up barbecuing the Warriors,
4:15
Speaker 1: covering the rather large point spread one seventeen to ninety
4:19
Speaker 1: three blowout City and so the playoff series even up.
4:23
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards was not all that good. He also had
4:25
Speaker 1: a traumatic ankle scare which turned out to be a
4:30
Speaker 1: whole lot of nothing. But Anthony Edwards and Nikhil Alexander
4:34
Speaker 1: Walker each had twenty Minnesota gets the win, so Game
4:37
Speaker 1: three one to one. Now Game three will be this
4:39
Speaker 1: weekend in San Francisco. The better story is in the
4:44
Speaker 1: loser's locker room, So that is where we are going
4:47
Speaker 1: to direct our attention because we like losers. The Ben
4:52
Speaker 1: Malor Show loves losers, and the Warriors are losers. So
4:56
Speaker 1: let's discuss the question, and I want to focus in
4:59
Speaker 1: on the code here. Does Warriors coach Steve Kerr deserve
5:03
Speaker 1: to be criticized for failing to adapt without Steph Curry?
5:10
Speaker 1: They knew Curry wasn't gonna play. They knew during the
5:12
Speaker 1: Game one win that Curry wasn't going to come back
5:15
Speaker 1: and play in game two. So does Steve Kerr deserve
5:18
Speaker 1: to be criticized for that? I've got Flying Dutchman, iron Man,
5:25
Speaker 1: and Spirit Animal, and we will combine all of these
5:29
Speaker 1: things together and we are going to test our intestinal fortitude,
5:34
Speaker 1: and Golden State failing that particular test, by the way,
5:38
Speaker 1: So to answer the question number one, does Steve Kerr
5:43
Speaker 1: deserve to be criticized for the Warriors failing to adapt
5:46
Speaker 1: without Steph Curry? And I am nodding my head, yes,
5:49
Speaker 1: I am nodding my head. Yes. Now, Golden State looked
5:53
Speaker 1: like they were lost. They didn't know where they were.
5:55
Speaker 1: It's like they were zoomed from some other planet out
5:59
Speaker 1: far out in the cosmos, and they're like, what am
6:01
Speaker 1: I doing here? Where am I? I don't know where
6:03
Speaker 1: I am? And so from the other night when they
6:06
Speaker 1: were moving and grooving and all of a sudden, without
6:09
Speaker 1: Curry for the whole game they come out there, they
6:11
Speaker 1: were stumbling and bumbling. It was a stagnation situation, error prone, clumsy,
6:18
Speaker 1: looked like the Wolves. Certainly for much of the game,
6:22
Speaker 1: we're playing at a different speed. Here is Steve Kerr,
6:27
Speaker 1: the coach of the Warriors, commenting on the situation with
6:32
Speaker 1: rotation and moving players around. The whole deal thing was
6:36
Speaker 1: he was great.
6:37
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, he sat in a couple of
6:38
Speaker 4: seats down. We talked a couple of times during the game,
6:40
Speaker 4: and he was talking to all the players and yeah,
6:44
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I don't know exactly what he
6:46
Speaker 4: was saying to the guys, but it's very very comforting
6:50
Speaker 4: having him on that bench for our guys.
6:53
Speaker 1: Well, it was him talking about Curry on the it
6:55
Speaker 1: was comforting. Why exactly was it comforting to have Steph Curry?
6:58
Speaker 1: Did he massage the player shoulders? Like, how is that comforting?
7:03
Speaker 1: Did they think maybe he was just faking the injury
7:06
Speaker 1: and he was gonna suit up at halftime and go
7:08
Speaker 1: out and play. How's that comforting? I don't get that anyway.
7:12
Speaker 1: So back to the point of so Steve Kerr on
7:15
Speaker 1: this night was coaching the Flying Dutchman, a ghost ship
7:21
Speaker 1: that was a ghost ship that was an empty vessel
7:23
Speaker 1: that was found abandoned, floating adrift on the open sea.
7:29
Speaker 1: And the real test is how you do without your
7:33
Speaker 1: top player, Do you succeed, do you have some level
7:38
Speaker 1: of success or do you fail? Now, Steve Kerr is
7:42
Speaker 1: going to go in the Hall of Fame. He's got
7:44
Speaker 1: all kinds of records and all that. But is this
7:46
Speaker 1: like a Belichick two point zero situation where once Belichick
7:50
Speaker 1: lost Tom Brady all of a sudden, Belichick is now
7:54
Speaker 1: stooping some twenty something and everyone's laughing at him and
7:58
Speaker 1: he can't win. Well, see curR. His record with the
8:02
Speaker 1: Warriors in games without Stephan Curry is seventy three and
8:05
Speaker 1: one on nine. He's got a four to h one
8:07
Speaker 1: winning percentage in games that Curry does not play in.
8:10
Speaker 1: And Steph Curry is not walking back through that door
8:13
Speaker 1: anytime soon, not in the next few games anyway in
8:16
Speaker 1: this series. So if he doesn't come back, and who
8:18
Speaker 1: knows if he'll ever come back in this series, it's
8:21
Speaker 1: gonna be. And I go and say, should still bounce back,
8:23
Speaker 1: you would assume at home in Game three? But man,
8:26
Speaker 1: what a mess?
8:27
Speaker 3: All right?
8:27
Speaker 1: Also, it would also help if Jimmy Butler did not
8:30
Speaker 1: play like the end of his run in Miami. Didn't
8:33
Speaker 1: it look like the Jimmy Butler that was with the
8:35
Speaker 1: Miami Heat when he was sulking with pat Riley and
8:38
Speaker 1: having issues with Riley there. It just didn't seem fully
8:41
Speaker 1: invested in the game. Is it because he has issues
8:45
Speaker 1: with the fans in Minnesota and there's a back and
8:48
Speaker 1: forth there between them. I don't know what's going on.
8:50
Speaker 1: He just seemed like, Hey, this is your opportunity to
8:53
Speaker 1: step on up. You're now the alpha dog and it's
8:57
Speaker 1: your team now Curry's not there, and here's your opportunity
9:00
Speaker 1: unity and l l L la la la. He was
9:04
Speaker 1: acting like that a lot. But what do I know? Now?
9:08
Speaker 1: The big talking point which everyone's going to be apping about,
9:12
Speaker 1: is not about the outcome of the game. It's not
9:14
Speaker 1: about Steph Curry's injury, it's not about Steve Kerry. It
9:16
Speaker 1: is about Draymond Green. Don't bury the lead, my man?
9:21
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I guess we did so. Draymond Green
9:23
Speaker 1: made headlines again. Green picked up a fifth postseason technical.
9:26
Speaker 1: Oh my god, fifth technical the postseason in Golden State's loss.
9:30
Speaker 1: And he did it with player. He did it with
9:33
Speaker 1: ras Mataz. Draymond Green was in the second quarter of
9:38
Speaker 1: the game. He was assessed a technical foul after he
9:41
Speaker 1: elbowed Naz Reid of the Timberwolves right in the face,
9:46
Speaker 1: right in the kisser, bam, right like that. Now Green
9:50
Speaker 1: was irate, He was completely flabberg acid with the call.
9:58
Speaker 1: And it got to the point there look like a
10:01
Speaker 1: vaudevillian comedy because you had the Warriors guard Steph Curry,
10:06
Speaker 1: who again was there to give good vibrations to the tame.
10:09
Speaker 1: You had Steph Curry coming off the bench to try
10:10
Speaker 1: to calm him down. You had Steve Kerr, It's like
10:13
Speaker 1: professional wrestling taking Raymond out of the game to try
10:17
Speaker 1: to de escalate him from snapping and getting another fowl
10:22
Speaker 1: called and all it. So, now what does that mean?
10:25
Speaker 1: So with five technical foules the way I'm told, with
10:28
Speaker 1: five technicals and just nine postseason games, Draymond Green is
10:33
Speaker 1: two away from earning a suspension. So he gets at
10:39
Speaker 1: least what a game. So you do the math on that,
10:42
Speaker 1: it ain't looking good. And so then that was just
10:46
Speaker 1: the setup. That was the appetizer to the main event.
10:49
Speaker 1: In the visiting locker room at the Target Center and
10:51
Speaker 1: the bowels of the arena there in the Twin Cities,
10:54
Speaker 1: Draymond Green addressing reporters and he played the race card
10:59
Speaker 1: from the bottom of the neck. Take a listen, look
11:01
Speaker 1: like the angry black man. I'm not an angry black man.
11:04
Speaker 1: I'm a very successful, educated black man with a great family,
11:08
Speaker 1: and I'm great at basketball. I'm great at what I
11:10
Speaker 1: do to the a gender. To try to keep making
11:13
Speaker 1: me look like an angry black man is crazy. I'm
11:15
Speaker 1: sick of it. It's ridiculous. Okay, they dropped the mic
11:18
Speaker 1: and walked off. All right, So I think he said
11:21
Speaker 1: angry black man three times in twenty seconds. I think,
11:25
Speaker 1: all right, So what do you take away? You just
11:27
Speaker 1: heard it. That's what everyone's gonna be talking about. What
11:29
Speaker 1: did you take away from Draymond Green his postgame rant about, Hey,
11:35
Speaker 1: I'm not an angry black man. So my takeaway on
11:39
Speaker 1: this is that it was iron man like it was
11:42
Speaker 1: Tony Stark who once said deflect and absorb. This is
11:46
Speaker 1: also out of the Lebron James playbook, where everyone's gonna
11:51
Speaker 1: be picking on Draymond Green because you're what are you doing?
11:54
Speaker 1: You know you can't be elbowing people like this. You're
11:56
Speaker 1: in a situation where you have to be on your
11:57
Speaker 1: best baby, and so you did the thing you can't
12:00
Speaker 1: do so. He knows that he knows how this works.
12:02
Speaker 1: He's dabbled in the media. So what does he do.
12:04
Speaker 1: He takes the deck of cards out and plays the
12:07
Speaker 1: victim card from the bottom of the deck, right, victim card.
12:11
Speaker 1: Make it all about me being the victim, which I
12:13
Speaker 1: think is the playbook from the you know, the last
12:16
Speaker 1: few years ago when everyone was playing the victim. I
12:19
Speaker 1: guess it's still in vogue for some people. But Draymond
12:21
Speaker 1: Green is I get maybe I'm wrong with this. It
12:25
Speaker 1: sounds like he's trying to twist this into some kind
12:27
Speaker 1: of racial issue when it's not about that. It's about him.
12:30
Speaker 1: The way he plays. He's the enforcer, and he is
12:34
Speaker 1: a compared to how basketball used to be back in
12:37
Speaker 1: the olden days with Charles Oakley and Bill Laine Beer
12:42
Speaker 1: and people like that. Those were real basketball goons. Rick Mahorn,
12:45
Speaker 1: like Draymond Green's a mister softy compared to those guys.
12:48
Speaker 1: But compared to the modern basketball player, he is seen
12:51
Speaker 1: as this tough, brooding player that is the enforcer. The
12:55
Speaker 1: other problem for Draymond, aside from the fact no one
12:58
Speaker 1: was saying he wasn't educated, no one was saying he's
13:00
Speaker 1: not a great family man. That's not what the conversation
13:03
Speaker 1: was about. He turned into that is the film does
13:06
Speaker 1: not lie. As Andy Reid likes to say, Draymond Green
13:09
Speaker 1: has a sizzle reel and somebody sent me this clip,
13:13
Speaker 1: and I will give I don't know who. I forgot
13:15
Speaker 1: who it was off the top of my head. I
13:16
Speaker 1: was telling somebody in the pre show meeting this. Somebody
13:20
Speaker 1: sent me a clip on social media of Draymond and
13:24
Speaker 1: his rand and behind the van they put video up
13:28
Speaker 1: of Draymond his sizzle reel of if you will or
13:32
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not angry, I'm not angry black Man.
13:35
Speaker 1: And then there's there's clips of him putting a choke
13:38
Speaker 1: hold on Rudy Gobert, stomping on Demontes Sebonis, kicking Steven
13:43
Speaker 1: Adams in the basket balls, poking Lebron's anaconda, and all
13:49
Speaker 1: these other It was hilarious. So one of the funniest
13:51
Speaker 1: things I've seen. And listen, Draymond has a Lifetime Achievement
13:55
Speaker 1: Award for a history of unsportsman life acts in the
14:00
Speaker 1: eyes of the NBA. Okay, so that's where we are.
14:03
Speaker 1: And now it's gonna be twenty four hours of Draymond Green.
14:08
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna have a hot ache on Draymond. You'll get
14:12
Speaker 1: the the think pieces, you know, you'll get the deep
14:15
Speaker 1: thinkers out there that will be all offended that people
14:17
Speaker 1: are attacking Draymond Green, and they'll they'll pick up the
14:20
Speaker 1: calls for Draymond and then you'll have other people think
14:22
Speaker 1: this is the dumbest thing in the world, and so
14:24
Speaker 1: nothing will change, and that'll be that, and we'll move
14:27
Speaker 1: on to the next games. All right, now, final point, So,
14:30
Speaker 1: have Anthony Edwards to get back to the series? Have
14:33
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards and the tim Wolves solved the Warriors riddle?
14:38
Speaker 1: Did Game two show you that Minnesota has now solves things?
14:43
Speaker 1: They've solved it? So here's my position. Things are pointing up, right,
14:48
Speaker 1: things are pointing up. But it's not about Minnesota having
14:52
Speaker 1: a solution. To me, it's to me, it's not about that,
14:55
Speaker 1: all right. To me, it's not about that, because this
14:58
Speaker 1: is more about Golden State looking like a nineties comedy.
15:02
Speaker 1: They were dazed and confused in the first quarter, falling
15:05
Speaker 1: behind thirteen to nothing and trailing the entire game. They were,
15:08
Speaker 1: for the most part on autopilot. Now I will give
15:11
Speaker 1: them an ounce of Okay, you didn't get run off
15:15
Speaker 1: the court and quit like Denver did. Denver completely quit
15:20
Speaker 1: against Oklahoma State. That was ridiculous. But Golden State was
15:23
Speaker 1: going through the motion. It's making no mistake and it
15:26
Speaker 1: is an embarrassing, e masculating situation that no one stepped
15:31
Speaker 1: up without Steph Curry in the lineup. And that's really
15:34
Speaker 1: the story here, right, that's the story. This game was
15:37
Speaker 1: more about the Warriors sucking than it was about the
15:41
Speaker 1: Wolves solving the Rubik's cube if you will here, and
15:44
Speaker 1: we imagine Golden State will be getting some smelling salts
15:47
Speaker 1: delivered from Amazon or somewhere and they'll have those before
15:51
Speaker 1: Game three. But the Timberwolves, they had the ingredients to
15:55
Speaker 1: win this series. Anthony Edwards when he plays, he didn't play.
15:59
Speaker 1: I didn't think that great in this game either. You
16:01
Speaker 1: got an ankle thing in which he as all the
16:04
Speaker 1: NBA players do, turned out to be an Academy Award performance.
16:08
Speaker 1: They've got the defensive prowess, they have the rebounding, they
16:11
Speaker 1: have all that stuff. My issue, my main issue with
16:15
Speaker 1: the Wolves is that their spirit animal is a yo yo.
16:21
Speaker 1: Now you're probably saying a yo yo is not an animal,
16:24
Speaker 1: but I would argue that a yo yo identifies as
16:28
Speaker 1: an animal, therefore it is an animal. So a yo
16:31
Speaker 1: yo is the spirit animal of the Timberwolves. And what
16:35
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is they're up and down. They're
16:38
Speaker 1: up and they're down and they're all around right. Rather
16:41
Speaker 1: than smooth peanut putter, they are the extra chunky, crunchy
16:46
Speaker 1: peanut Butter's what they are. There's no real consistency from
16:49
Speaker 1: game to game. And now the good news from Minnesota
16:52
Speaker 1: is that Steph Curry will not be walking through that
16:54
Speaker 1: door anytime soon. He'll be sidelined by the hammy that
16:59
Speaker 1: went whammy until at least sometime next week and likely
17:03
Speaker 1: longer than that. And even when he comes back, he's
17:06
Speaker 1: a ticking time bomb, as the hamstring often leads to
17:11
Speaker 1: a bigger injury down the line. We've seen that many
17:13
Speaker 1: times over the years watching these sports games. So we'll
17:17
Speaker 1: see what happens. But it's it's a hot mess. It
17:19
Speaker 1: is a hot mess. Well, this show not a hot mess,
17:22
Speaker 1: but it is the Ben Mahlor Show. If you'd like
17:24
Speaker 1: to be part, the lines are open as we clear
17:27
Speaker 1: the lines, clear the decks and all that eight seven
17:29
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox you can crack the code
17:34
Speaker 1: and get on in eight seven seven nine nine six
17:36
Speaker 1: six three sixty nine. If you're on social media, you
17:39
Speaker 1: know that thing of a jig, which is not really good,
17:40
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of fake people on there, in
17:42
Speaker 1: bots and algorithms and all that crap. But if you're
17:45
Speaker 1: on the thing of a jig and you want to
17:46
Speaker 1: be part, that's at Ben Mallard, that's at Ben Mahlor,
17:50
Speaker 1: and your comments can and we'll be used against you
17:53
Speaker 1: in the court of sports radio. So act accordingly. So
17:58
Speaker 1: a little city action. And later this hour, Tom Brady
18:04
Speaker 1: has announced that he regrets one of his great accomplishments
18:09
Speaker 1: in life, one of the things that Tom Brady should
18:11
Speaker 1: be most proud of. He actually regrets. What is that
18:15
Speaker 1: all about. We'll get to it all and we'll take
18:17

20:02
Speaker 1: And I don't forget. For those that have not been
20:04
Speaker 1: paying attention, we are less than three weeks away now
20:09
Speaker 1: May twenty ninth. This our Friday show. So May twenty
20:13
Speaker 1: ninth we will be hanging out mal Or meet and
20:16
Speaker 1: greet the first one of twenty twenty five. Got an
20:20
Speaker 1: email from a gentleman who said, I'd like the schedule
20:23
Speaker 1: of meet and greets, I said, I wrote back, I said,
20:26
Speaker 1: we don't make a schedule. They just kind of pop up,
20:28
Speaker 1: like we don't have there's no formal schedule this one.
20:31
Speaker 1: But you know, Ben, what's that I was thinking?
20:35
Speaker 5: Next week, me and you could sit down and make
20:38
Speaker 5: a list of all the places that we want to
20:41
Speaker 5: go this year, okay, and I can try and organize
20:45
Speaker 5: them in two little months and we can see what
20:48
Speaker 5: we can put together.
20:50
Speaker 1: Okay. So you want to have like a travel schedule,
20:51
Speaker 1: that would be like a professional radio show. That that's
20:55
Speaker 1: what professional radio shows do. But we're just like an
20:57
Speaker 1: overnight show.
20:57
Speaker 5: So right, Well, you know some people want us up
20:59
Speaker 5: in Oakland. There's one over here in Reaching Waters area
21:02
Speaker 5: that they want us to do, right, So those are
21:03
Speaker 5: more simple. We could do those in the next couple
21:05
Speaker 5: of months.
21:06
Speaker 1: They like. The three that I think are pretty safe
21:09
Speaker 1: are northern California, like the Oakland Alame to lose place.
21:14
Speaker 1: He's one of the big supporters of the show, and
21:17
Speaker 1: he kind of runs a bar there in Oakland, so
21:19
Speaker 1: we could do that. The SoCal one, definitely, that's easy.
21:22
Speaker 1: Vegas is like a suburb of LA so that's easy.
21:26
Speaker 1: And then after that it gets a little dicey. So
21:29
Speaker 1: but there's other ones that I'm trying to get to
21:31
Speaker 1: Ohio for the Dixter you know, Dick and Dayton there.
21:34
Speaker 4: Yeah.
21:35
Speaker 5: But instead of keep on saying, you know, yeah, we're
21:38
Speaker 5: you know, we're thinking about No, we're gonna we're gonna
21:40
Speaker 5: sit down and we're gonna talk about it.
21:43
Speaker 1: Big meeting, big We're gonna get management involved, We'll get
21:46
Speaker 1: the sales department involved, they'll sell it. It'll be awesome,
21:49
Speaker 1: big money for the company. Get a couple of national sponsors.
21:53
Speaker 1: We're done right. We're gonna make so much money for
21:56
Speaker 1: the company. We're gonna win some kind of we're gonna
21:59
Speaker 1: make an award. We're gonna winn award. Not making it wad.
22:01
Speaker 1: I just couldn't make it, WAD. We're gonna win award. Yeah,
22:04
Speaker 1: But I just to clarify, it's May twenty ninth, it's
22:07
Speaker 1: a Thursday, say seven o'clock, maybe a little before that,
22:11
Speaker 1: but will be in Vancouver, British Columbia, oh at a
22:17
Speaker 1: place called the Court Side on Maine, and that is
22:21
Speaker 1: the establishment. I will be there, Lorraina will be there,
22:24
Speaker 1: she'll be making the rare and appropriate visit, and Cooper
22:27
Speaker 1: Loop will also be there. So we'll all be hanging
22:29
Speaker 1: out in Vancouver and then hopefully something on May thirty first,
22:33
Speaker 1: although to be determined. We were supposed to go to
22:36
Speaker 1: a soccer game for the white Caps, the Vancouver soccer team,
22:40
Speaker 1: and somehow that game got postponed because they'll be in Mexico,
22:44
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how that works, but that's what happened,
22:47
Speaker 1: and so the game obviously will not be able to
22:48
Speaker 1: attend that game because there is no game, So we're
22:51
Speaker 1: trying to figure out something else to do there and
22:53
Speaker 1: we'll have a good time with that. But we started
22:55
Speaker 1: here with the pro bouncy ball monologue as Minnesota get
22:59
Speaker 1: her done and they win, and Draymond Green went on
23:01
Speaker 1: a rant post game which everyone's yapping her out, and
23:07
Speaker 1: Big Lew says, will there be a lot of third
23:11
Speaker 1: rail conversations? Mom man in Vancouver? What is that?
23:18
Speaker 3: Well?
23:19
Speaker 1: The third rail. One of the great management people in
23:22
Speaker 1: the history of Fox Sports Radio is great Don Martin.
23:24
Speaker 1: That's one of his catchphrases. A third rail on my
23:27
Speaker 1: m the third rail, and so yeah, stay in your lane.
23:31
Speaker 1: That's not one of his catch phrases praises, but he
23:32
Speaker 1: probably would have said it. What else do we have
23:34
Speaker 1: to see? Page down? Can't read that on the air.
23:39
Speaker 1: What do we got here? Let's see Chris in Des
23:41
Speaker 1: Moines says, I'm drunk, Ben, have a great show. You're
23:46
Speaker 1: living your greatest life. You're fully schnockered. Our buddy in
23:50
Speaker 1: des Moines. Let's see here. Truck Stop Fungus, right, since
23:54
Speaker 1: so gonna be a big night here? Truck Stop Fungus says,
23:57
Speaker 1: I'm living like a king at a hotel outside i
24:00
Speaker 1: T Mobile Park. The bars are bombastic. The Mala militia
24:04
Speaker 1: is strong in the Pacific Northwest. Just don't mention that
24:07
Speaker 1: damn Leprechaun. He's hated up here? Is that right? The
24:11
Speaker 1: good people of the Pacific Northwest have an issue with
24:14
Speaker 1: the Leprechaun. Okay, that's he probably liked that. What else
24:18
Speaker 1: do we have page down here? Gunner? I don't think
24:21
Speaker 1: Gunner checked in after game one. I wonder how that happened.
24:24
Speaker 1: He lost his phone and but he's back for game two.
24:27
Speaker 1: Gunner says, I'm calling this series now, gentlemen. Sweep for one,
24:32
Speaker 1: Wolves will win the next three. We'll see what happens.
24:37
Speaker 1: Don't be a prisoner of the moment. Nature Boy also
24:39
Speaker 1: says Timberwolves in five with or without Curry. He says
24:44
Speaker 1: Shane in des moines from.
24:47
Speaker 5: The I have to hit my Tarzan button.
24:50
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, so let me go back to that.
24:52
Speaker 1: That last one was from the Nature Boy answering the
24:54
Speaker 1: call to the Wild.
24:58
Speaker 3: Ben.
24:58
Speaker 5: I just want you to know that my yes is broken.
25:02
Speaker 5: I only have one soundboard to work off of right
25:04
Speaker 5: now instead of Minrmal three, so I'm going to be
25:07
Speaker 5: very delayed.
25:08
Speaker 1: I'm sure the engineers will be coming in to fix
25:11
Speaker 1: that right now. I doubt it. Call the iHeart engineering
25:14
Speaker 1: department will come in here in the middle of the
25:17
Speaker 1: night and fix that. I mean, this is a major
25:19
Speaker 1: this is the number one audio company iHeart, so I'm
25:24
Speaker 1: sure they'll come in and fix it right away.
25:26
Speaker 5: We have the number one Gremlins as well.
25:30
Speaker 1: Don't put that bad you know what on me. Shane
25:33
Speaker 1: in de Moyes says, some these seven seconds of the
25:35
Speaker 1: NBA I've watched this year, I can confidently say the
25:38
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwolves are located in the Western Conference, thus ending
25:42
Speaker 1: my current NBA knowledge. It's always dicey when you get
25:46
Speaker 1: to the Midwest and you have some of the teams
25:48
Speaker 1: that are in the West and some of the teams
25:51
Speaker 1: that are in the East. Like there's a natural rivalry
25:54
Speaker 1: between Wisconsin and Minnesota. But yet the Bucks are in
25:57
Speaker 1: the East and the Timberwolves are in the West. And
25:58
Speaker 1: then but you think from Minnesota, it's rather easy to
26:01
Speaker 1: get to Detroit, which is not that far away in Chicago,
26:04
Speaker 1: but those teams are in the East also, so it
26:06
Speaker 1: gets a little dicey there in the middle of the country.
26:08
Speaker 1: G Man's in Chicago. Rights doesn't get much more middle
26:11
Speaker 1: than that. G Man says a plus on the Mould monologue,
26:14
Speaker 1: Draymond will end up in prison after his careers. I
26:17
Speaker 1: don't know up in prison? Question will Andre and Willis
26:22
Speaker 1: help prove Karen Reid is not guilty in the Commonwealth Court.
26:27
Speaker 1: TV minds want to know. Yeah, I've not kept up
26:32
Speaker 1: on the retrial of Karen Reid. I did see some
26:36
Speaker 1: of the first trial. I've not kept up on what's
26:40
Speaker 1: going on here lately, Spock's Weed writes in from the
26:44
Speaker 1: Oregon Trail. He says, no sighting of the vomit commet.
26:50
Speaker 1: What a bummer. I thought for sure we'd see it tonight.
26:53
Speaker 1: I can't use the vomit comment every night on the show.
26:57
Speaker 1: I can't. I cannot do it, no, because I have
27:01
Speaker 1: to change my verbetue. I have a deep lexicon. I
27:04
Speaker 1: can't just say the same five things every night. Listen,
27:08
Speaker 1: I have. I am an educated talk show host. Okay,
27:12
Speaker 1: I have big words. I know big words. No nothing,
27:18
Speaker 1: no laugh tracking all right? Uh oh, do you know
27:21
Speaker 1: what I told you?
27:22
Speaker 3: I'm slow today?
27:23
Speaker 1: I know I okay, yes that instead of the Laughchack
27:27
Speaker 1: just played Chewbacca. That's all we need. Andy in Line o' Lakes,
27:31
Speaker 1: Minnesota writes in, he says A plus and two juicy
27:35
Speaker 1: Lucy's up. Oh man, give me the juicy Lucy Malard monologue.
27:40
Speaker 1: He says, the Warriors are who we thought they were.
27:42
Speaker 1: We didn't let them off the hook. This time it's
27:45
Speaker 1: gonna go seven. Gotta follow the script. I'm not an
27:49
Speaker 1: angry white man. I'm not says Andy in line o' lakes.
27:52
Speaker 1: Mister Luciano writes in He's in LA, but his heart
27:55
Speaker 1: is in the bay. He says ten out of ten
27:57
Speaker 1: on the malar monologue, with some bay in on the side.
28:01
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, Yes, yes, yeah, Draymond mean the best football
28:06
Speaker 1: player in the in the NBA. That's from mister Luciana.
28:13
Speaker 1: Let's he hear. Burner account says, I guess we're not
28:16
Speaker 1: going to get the rundown of the show. I'm pretty
28:21
Speaker 1: sure I sent it out. I mean maybe I didn't.
28:23
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought I sees it.
28:26
Speaker 5: I sees it.
28:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean this, guys send Burner. No, we're
28:31
Speaker 1: not going to get the rundown.
28:32
Speaker 5: Screw you, new blind listener.
28:36
Speaker 1: Bernercount Hey, hey, Berner, how about you you go out
28:39
Speaker 1: spend twenty bucks buy a clue. Go out and buy
28:41
Speaker 1: a clue for twenty bucks. You might have to pay
28:44
Speaker 1: tariffs on it because it comes from somewhere else, So
28:46
Speaker 1: pay the tariffs. Berg Dog writes and says, uh some way.
28:50
Speaker 1: Some say the opening monologue sets the tone for the
28:52
Speaker 1: rest of the show, but I say the first live
28:55
Speaker 1: read does, minus the small flub of Lorena, not knowing
29:00
Speaker 1: what hour it is, you hit that DraftKings read out
29:03
Speaker 1: of the park, great start, Ben, Thank you for a dog. Wow,
29:07
Speaker 1: thank you. Fergie. Well you found that sound. But yeah
29:12
Speaker 1: you found that one. Yeah? Was that broke? It's broken?
29:15
Speaker 1: You should keep playing it all night over and over again.
29:18
Speaker 1: Is broken? Yeah, yeah, yeah, tell it to the judge.
29:23
Speaker 1: My board is broken, My board is broken. Yeah. All right,
29:27
Speaker 1: ferk Duck says, if the rain is slow today because
29:30
Speaker 1: of a computer glitch, what's your excuse for every other day? Alright?
29:39
Speaker 1: So that is a low blow. That is a low blow.
29:43
Speaker 1: How dare you? All right, let's go to the phones
29:47
Speaker 1: and eenie meenie, miney moe. Let's say hello to Andre
29:53
Speaker 1: in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome, good, there is Andre there,
30:01
Speaker 1: he is. I hear him Andre, and the dog willis Yes.
30:05
Speaker 6: Well, using right now, But we won't have any commentary
30:10
Speaker 6: on what's going on in the criminal justice scene in
30:12
Speaker 6: the Commonwealth. Aware of that case, but not following it,
30:16
Speaker 6: uh so closely, you know. Well, we'll see what the
30:19
Speaker 6: result is. But specifically, you know, we do have a
30:22
Speaker 6: political issue in the NBA in terms of Draymond Green.
30:25
Speaker 6: After a tough game, you know, automatically as you said,
30:28
Speaker 6: you know, going to the cultural argument about why he
30:32
Speaker 6: has these ejections so on and forth, and smart guy
30:35
Speaker 6: coming from Michigan State under the leadership of Tom Thibodeau.
30:38
Speaker 6: But this is all for his podcast. You know, this
30:41
Speaker 6: is spin that you can go ahead and take now
30:44
Speaker 6: and talk about it from all.
30:46
Speaker 1: But the back play better, Draymond are you saying are
30:48
Speaker 1: you saying right now, Andrea, are you saying he's engagement
30:51
Speaker 1: farming Draymond Green that he's working content for his podcast.
30:54
Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling me right now?
30:55
Speaker 6: Exactly what I'm saying.
30:56
Speaker 1: Ben.
30:56
Speaker 6: He's getting right into the attention economy, you know, and
30:59
Speaker 6: he wants to to correlate and deflect, as you noted,
31:03
Speaker 6: from the poor play and the precarious situation the Warriors
31:05
Speaker 6: finding themselves in, you know, to some opportunities, you know,
31:09
Speaker 6: when we see him, because Draymond sometimes, you know, will
31:11
Speaker 6: leave the game and say I got to leave the
31:13
Speaker 6: press commence because I'm late for a pot. They'll just
31:15
Speaker 6: go from one to the next, which I don't have
31:17
Speaker 6: any problem with that, Ben. You know, I have a
31:19
Speaker 6: problem with branding and having your voice on and forth.
31:22
Speaker 6: But let's not.
31:24
Speaker 1: Hold on sex. Let me tell you something. If somebody
31:26
Speaker 1: does audio content for a living, Andre, this is my job.
31:29
Speaker 1: You don't see me go out on a random night
31:32
Speaker 1: and just play in an NBA game. So why should
31:34
Speaker 1: Draymon on a random night go do a podcast. That's
31:37
Speaker 1: my job, right, I mean, I don't go out and
31:39
Speaker 1: playing a random NBA game, That's right. I'm gonna. I'm
31:42
Speaker 1: gonna yeah, right, I mean I could, I could play
31:44
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. I'd play harder than James Harden. I
31:47
Speaker 1: know that. But I'm just saying, listen, I don't you know?
31:50
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, sorry, the.
31:51
Speaker 6: Clippers might need you, and we keep going back to this.
31:54
Speaker 6: How you tower over Rob Barker, who stands at six
31:56
Speaker 6: foot four, six foot five, So the Clippers might need
31:58
Speaker 6: somebody to go on there and get some REBA. So
32:00
Speaker 6: we're not going to move away from this. Daddy Warbucks,
32:02
Speaker 6: Steve Bomber, he's never a shy to go out for
32:04
Speaker 6: an opportunity, so we might need to see you out
32:06
Speaker 6: there on the court. But specific over to Draymond, I
32:08
Speaker 6: don't you know did Everyone wants to have their say,
32:11
Speaker 6: and you know, have their own I don't have a
32:12
Speaker 6: problem with that at all. Expressly. What I do have
32:16
Speaker 6: a problem with is listen, you guys competing and possibly
32:18
Speaker 6: go to the Western Conference finals and have a chance.
32:21
Speaker 6: This is the end of the dining. This is serious past, Draymond.
32:23
Speaker 6: You see the gray hairs in your beard. You're getting
32:25
Speaker 6: down towards the end of your career, and we keep
32:27
Speaker 6: going in the same circles with you. Go out, you
32:30
Speaker 6: do things you shouldn't be doing, getting tackles, getting getting
32:32
Speaker 6: the ejection, and then you want to roll it all
32:34
Speaker 6: the way back to make it out seem to be
32:36
Speaker 6: some witch hunt. It has nothing to do with that
32:38
Speaker 6: play better, you know. And that's the leadership that we're
32:41
Speaker 6: looking for. But Draymond, it's a doctor Jeckelin mister Hyde thing.
32:44
Speaker 6: We had Doctor Jekyll in terms of what they did
32:47
Speaker 6: in Game seven and him leading the right way, and
32:49
Speaker 6: now we're right back to mister Hyde doing things he's
32:51
Speaker 6: not supposed to do and then stepping away from accountability,
32:54
Speaker 6: which would be true leadership to help his team move on.
32:57
Speaker 6: Myself from Willis and to the Commonwealth, has been glad
32:59
Speaker 6: to be with you, and we'll see trying to get
33:02
Speaker 6: you get with you next week.
33:03
Speaker 1: All right, all right, thank you the great Andre from
33:06
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth for anything away there, as he often does,
33:08
Speaker 1: very poetic. And how about this rip city baby. Now,
33:11
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Portland. I'm old enough to remember
33:14
Speaker 1: when the Trail Blas actually had good teams and they
33:16
Speaker 1: were in the playoffs every year, and they were like
33:18
Speaker 1: the whole rip City thing, and it was a different
33:20
Speaker 1: kind of Yeah, I was, I was, I was for
33:24
Speaker 1: my I was alive. But anyway, so Charles Barkley went
33:27
Speaker 1: on rant that we played some audio the other night,
33:30
Speaker 1: and the audio the other night was the Wolves coach
33:35
Speaker 1: pretty much slaying Anthony Edwards. Chris Finch took some shots
33:40
Speaker 1: and Anthony Edwards called him out, and of course the
33:44
Speaker 1: player lap dogs, the brown nosers in the media, they
33:47
Speaker 1: were besides themselves that they were all, my god, I
33:49
Speaker 1: can't believe you would do this, why would you do this?
33:51
Speaker 1: I can't believe it's going shame on you, blah blah
33:53
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, going on like that, that thought that
33:57
Speaker 1: somehow you crossed the line. You can't be ripping the players.
34:00
Speaker 1: So Charles Barkley then went on a rent and he
34:03
Speaker 1: ripped it was more directed at the players, but I
34:06
Speaker 1: think he was really ripping the media, and he ripped Andy.
