2:53
Speaker 3: Skid Row Adjacent, skid Row Adjacent that was the location
2:59
Speaker 3: for Game five of the NBA plus memory Lakers in five,
3:03
Speaker 3: Lakers in five. That's what you told me, you ben
3:07
Speaker 3: the Lakers, then they're gonna win it.
3:09
Speaker 2: Fun. They lost that first one, but they're gonna win it.
3:11
Speaker 2: Fuck all right.
3:11
Speaker 3: So five game series five Game five, NBA playoff opening round,
3:15
Speaker 3: you had Hookah Luca and the Lakers trying to stave
3:20
Speaker 3: off elimination, to avoid termination from the postseason against Anthony
3:25
Speaker 3: Edwards and the tim.
3:30
Speaker 2: Wolves.
3:30
Speaker 3: And yeah, they were trying to advance to a higher level.
3:34
Speaker 3: So I don't know if you were watching it, and
3:35
Speaker 3: I assume you were, but maybe not. Maybe you were
3:38
Speaker 3: not watching, not listening. You don't know what happened there,
3:42
Speaker 3: but we were, and the most shocking of things took place.
3:49
Speaker 3: There was a metamorphosis that happened in that playoff game.
3:54
Speaker 2: Rudy go Bear.
3:57
Speaker 3: It was Rudy go bye bye Lakers, Rudy, Rudy, Rudy
4:02
Speaker 3: Rudy playoff career high twenty seven points at twenty four rebounds.
4:07
Speaker 2: I ticked their ass.
4:08
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert kicked your ass. How embarrassing is that? Oh
4:14
Speaker 3: my god, that is even better than I could have
4:19
Speaker 3: possibly imagined, and a former Laker, Julius Randall, who he
4:23
Speaker 3: thought was trash, had twenty three and was better down
4:28
Speaker 3: the stretch, was better down the stretch, and the team
4:32
Speaker 3: that was superior the better team.
4:36
Speaker 2: The Timberwolves have advanced.
4:37
Speaker 3: In the NBA playoffs one oh three to ninety six,
4:42
Speaker 3: and the Lakers are dead.
4:45
Speaker 2: The Lakers are dead.
4:48
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards wasn't even good, had a quiet night.
4:53
Speaker 2: And it didn't matter. As Minnesota has done it.
4:57
Speaker 3: They won three straight game games to eliminate Lebron and
5:03
Speaker 3: Bronnie James. First time ever a father son combo has
5:08
Speaker 3: been eliminated in the first round of the NBA playoffs,
5:10
Speaker 3: and huk Luka he might show up next year at
5:13
Speaker 3: seven hundred pounds, says he's out. First postseason as a
5:16
Speaker 3: Laker and he's gone. And after winning a playoff round
5:21
Speaker 3: in back to back seasons that has only happened one
5:24
Speaker 3: other time for that franchise, the Wolves will now rest
5:27
Speaker 3: up and they will face the winner of Houston and
5:31
Speaker 3: Golden State.
5:32
Speaker 2: That series has been extended to a sixth game.
5:36
Speaker 3: As Golden State forfeited a very bold move by Steve
5:40
Speaker 3: Fourmore on that later, Steve Kerr conceding in the middle
5:44
Speaker 3: of the game, the game was over, did not try
5:47
Speaker 3: to win. That should be some kind of violation, I
5:49
Speaker 3: would think, But you know, you got to have a
5:51
Speaker 3: commission with balls to do that. The NBA does not
5:54
Speaker 3: have that, so I would imagine that will not happen.
5:55
Speaker 3: But let us discuss. Let's focus in on this glorious
5:59
Speaker 3: night night for sports in America and North American rule
6:02
Speaker 3: in the world. The Lakers are done so better stories
6:07
Speaker 3: in the losing locker room. Let's begin with that. As
6:09
Speaker 3: we discussed the question who gets the biggest piece of
6:14
Speaker 3: the Lakers purple and gold accountability case of DIA because
6:18
Speaker 3: they're Lazis.
6:20
Speaker 2: So I've got Nascar, I hop and opera, and.
6:25
Speaker 3: We will combine all of these things together and we
6:28
Speaker 3: will make an all inclusive trip to Cankun because that's
6:32
Speaker 3: where the Laker players will be going.
6:34
Speaker 2: They won't be going to the second round. They'll be
6:35
Speaker 2: going to can Coon.
6:37
Speaker 3: Now a Lebron, James and Luca side by side, they
6:42
Speaker 3: can enjoy and all you can eat special, all right,
6:45
Speaker 3: all you can eat special in that case of d
6:47
Speaker 3: here and it's a seafood actually it's a seafood case
6:50
Speaker 3: of da I heard when I was younger that a
6:53
Speaker 3: fish stinks from the head down. So you don't need
6:57
Speaker 3: a best you told me you don't need you don't
7:00
Speaker 3: need anyone.
7:01
Speaker 2: As long as you have.
7:03
Speaker 3: Luca and Lebron, you're gonna win every close game in
7:06
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. No one will stop them. Oh, by god,
7:13
Speaker 3: could you have been more wrong? What happened to that
7:16
Speaker 3: championship pedigree?
7:17
Speaker 2: What happened to that? Are we allowed to say Lebron
7:21
Speaker 2: looks cooked? Are we allowed to say that? Is that allowed?
7:23
Speaker 3: Or am I gonna get in trouble for that? Am
7:24
Speaker 3: I gonna get hit by lightning? From the sports radio gods?
7:27
Speaker 2: Lebron looks cooked? Loser capital l as a Laker. What
7:32
Speaker 2: a failure?
7:33
Speaker 3: Lebron's been no championships as a Laker, more first round
7:37
Speaker 3: exits than anything. An absolute failure as a Laker, Lebron James,
7:42
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to say that, though, And those two,
7:46
Speaker 3: Lebron and Luca, playing slow and dumb in crunch time Minnesota,
7:53
Speaker 3: with the game on the line, dominating in physicality, they
7:57
Speaker 3: were the faster team. They they won the fifty to
8:01
Speaker 3: fifty balls, they secured the loose balls. They took advantage
8:05
Speaker 3: of the Lakers' inability to match them mono amano.
8:10
Speaker 2: And in the game that was played here on Wednesday night.
8:13
Speaker 3: The Lakers in the fourth quarter, needing to win or
8:17
Speaker 3: that's it, shot thirty percent in the fourth quarter thirty percent.
8:22
Speaker 3: Lebron and Luca took ten shots. They made just three
8:25
Speaker 3: of them combined for eight points. They were outscored by
8:29
Speaker 3: Julius Randall. How does that taste? How does that that
8:32
Speaker 3: taste good? That's better? Right, that's better. Julius Randall outscored
8:38
Speaker 3: Lebron and Luca combined in the final twelve minutes of
8:41
Speaker 3: the game.
8:42
Speaker 2: And overall in this series. That is stat on TNT.
8:46
Speaker 2: The Wolves were plus forty two in the fourth quarter
8:51
Speaker 2: of the five games.
8:52
Speaker 3: They outscored the Lakers by forty two points in the
8:56
Speaker 3: fourth quarter of these games.
8:58
Speaker 2: Wowsers.
9:00
Speaker 3: Now, to use the NASCAR terminal. As you're watching this series,
9:04
Speaker 3: it appeared the Lakers, for some reason, we're driving their
9:06
Speaker 3: stock car with restrictor plates on.
9:09
Speaker 2: While the Wolves were going zoom zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom.
9:14
Speaker 2: Broom broom, broom, broom, broom, they upshifted. Is what they did.
9:19
Speaker 3: They absolutely upshifted and we're just clearly the superior team
9:25
Speaker 3: in this one. And my god, all, let's hear from
9:29
Speaker 3: some of the participants. Jump over to Lebron first, and
9:33
Speaker 3: we'll hear from someone else later. But here's Lebron. The
9:36
Speaker 3: question is Lebron, you're old, you look like you can't
9:39
Speaker 3: play anymore. The games passed you by and crunch time.
9:43
Speaker 3: Will you finally retire? Lebron James? Will you finally retire?
9:46
Speaker 3: Let's go to the audio.
9:47
Speaker 4: Tape penter intern off season on a roster that has
9:50
Speaker 4: lookadotcis that secured the number three seeds in the West
9:53
Speaker 4: in a really tough West this year? What type of
9:58
Speaker 4: thoughts does that give you a about your end game?
10:01
Speaker 4: And you know, how many more years will we see you?
10:05
Speaker 2: It's a long question. I don't know. I don't have
10:10
Speaker 2: the answer to that.
10:12
Speaker 4: It's something I sit down with my family, my wife, and.
10:16
Speaker 5: My support group and kind of just talk through it.
10:19
Speaker 6: And see what happens, and and then I just have
10:22
Speaker 6: a conversations with myself on how long I want to
10:26
Speaker 6: continue to play.
10:28
Speaker 5: I don't know the answer to that right now, to
10:29
Speaker 5: be honest.
10:30
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's Lebron's way of saying, I want everyone
10:34
Speaker 3: to talk about me for the.
10:36
Speaker 2: Next three weeks.
10:37
Speaker 3: I want everyone to say, well, I play and it's
10:39
Speaker 3: funny though, when Lebron says, hey, I need to get
10:42
Speaker 3: with my wife and my family, that means his teammate, right,
10:45
Speaker 3: because one of his family members is on the effing
10:48
Speaker 3: team because you made him be on the effing team
10:51
Speaker 3: and he sucks.
10:52
Speaker 2: He's terrible.
10:54
Speaker 3: Holy crap, does Bronni James blow and he's on your team? Lebron,
10:59
Speaker 3: because of you, you could have had an actual good
11:01
Speaker 3: NBA player that could have been a bench player that
11:03
Speaker 3: would have helped you out, but you had to put
11:05
Speaker 3: your sucked bag kid on the team.
11:07
Speaker 2: How's that taste, Lebron? HA you loser all right now?
11:10
Speaker 2: Pace two? What was the uber Eats order? If you will, in.
11:14
Speaker 3: Honor of Femi in Minnesota, who's smiling from you to ear?
11:17
Speaker 3: What was the uber Eats order for the Timberwolves to
11:21
Speaker 3: child down on an easy five game series win over
11:25
Speaker 3: the pathetic Lakers. The answer, I hop is the answer.
11:30
Speaker 3: The Wolves child down on the Rudy tu d fresh
11:33
Speaker 3: and fruity Rudy Gobert combo. The Lakers pathetic defense turned
11:39
Speaker 3: Rudy go Bear.
11:42
Speaker 2: The butt of all jokes in that sport.
11:45
Speaker 3: Rudy Gobert into a combo of Shaquille O'Neil and keem
11:51
Speaker 3: Olaijahwan in that game. So you got your two pancakes,
11:57
Speaker 3: you got your sweet syrupy fruit topping, got the strawberries
12:00
Speaker 3: hell Minnesota tossed the blueberry topping on there. They had
12:03
Speaker 3: the mixed barry, they had the apple. Sent him in
12:05
Speaker 3: the whole thing, two eggs, a couple of pieces of
12:08
Speaker 3: bacon on the side. Rudy Gobar was stupefying in this game,
12:13
Speaker 3: and he left the Lakers in honor of the late
12:15
Speaker 3: great Brian Wheeler, mystified, mesmerized, and mortified.
12:19
Speaker 2: He was a stunner, and Minnesota.
12:22
Speaker 3: Did everything they could to keep the game from going
12:26
Speaker 3: their way.
12:26
Speaker 2: They missed eighteen.
12:27
Speaker 3: Straight three balls, eighteen straight three point shots they missed.
12:33
Speaker 3: They still won the game. Anthony Edwards had small D,
12:35
Speaker 3: not big D, small D energy. He took nineteen shots,
12:39
Speaker 3: he missed fourteen of them. He shot twenty six percent
12:42
Speaker 3: in a closeout game, and it didn't matter because Rudy
12:46
Speaker 3: go Bear was Shaquille O'Neil, un real, unreal? All right, now,
12:55
Speaker 3: last word here, So to the blow up heard round
12:58
Speaker 3: the hoops world. This is actually pregame before the Lakers
13:01
Speaker 3: went out there and embarrassed the franchise yet again getting
13:04
Speaker 3: stomped on by the Wolves. Podcaster masquerading doing cosplay as
13:08
Speaker 3: a coach, JJ Reddick stormed out of his news conference
13:12
Speaker 3: after he was asked if he would lean on his
13:15
Speaker 3: assistance when it comes to fourth quarter substitutions, and Reddick
13:20
Speaker 3: barked back.
13:21
Speaker 2: At some faceless reporter.
13:24
Speaker 3: Are you saying that because I'm in experience with a
13:27
Speaker 3: question mark? You think I don't talk to my assistance
13:30
Speaker 3: about substitutions.
13:31
Speaker 2: Every single time out?
13:33
Speaker 1: Now?
13:33
Speaker 3: The reporter then try to calm the situation down and
13:36
Speaker 3: said a lot of coaches talked to assistants and try
13:39
Speaker 3: to soften the hot head Reddick. But well, rather than me,
13:43
Speaker 3: just I can give you the playboy bet here's JJ Reddick.
13:46
Speaker 2: Listen to this weird back and forth. Listen close.
13:50
Speaker 5: What do you recall about your thought process in the
13:52
Speaker 5: moment sticking with the five you stuck with in the
13:55
Speaker 5: fourth quarter the other day? And is there an assistant
13:58
Speaker 5: or someone maybe they chill lean on tonight maybe to
14:03
Speaker 5: try to get you know, some other guys involved if
14:06
Speaker 5: that opportunity presents.
14:07
Speaker 6: Are you saying that because I'm I'm inexperienced and that
14:10
Speaker 6: was an inexperienced decision that I made. Do you think
14:12
Speaker 6: I don't talk to my assistance about substitutions every single
14:16
Speaker 6: time out?
14:17
Speaker 5: No? I just think there's a lot of coaches lean
14:19
Speaker 5: on their assistance in those situations.
14:21
Speaker 2: As do a lack every single time. That's a weird assumption.
14:27
Speaker 2: I watch it drops the mic Ah walks away.
14:31
Speaker 3: All right, So how do you evaluate that sound by
14:34
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick blowing a gasket over his coaching skills. Well,
14:39
Speaker 3: it's par for the course. JJ knows he's an embarrassment, right,
14:42
Speaker 3: Everyone knows. JJ's an embarrassment to the Lakers. It's an
14:45
Speaker 3: embarrassment to basketball. He's Lebron's podcast buddy, Like, I'm as
14:50
Speaker 3: qualified to coach in the NBA I do podcast.
14:53
Speaker 2: Why don't I coach the Clippers? Why not?
14:55
Speaker 3: It's so embarrassing and he got out coached by nobody
14:59
Speaker 3: can even named Minnesota's coach, This guy Finch, Nobody can
15:02
Speaker 3: name him. But it's part for the course with JJ Redick.
15:05
Speaker 3: Everything with Reddick is an Italian opera. He's the prima Donna.
15:09
Speaker 3: He's temperamental, he's arrogant. He thinks he invented basketball. I
15:13
Speaker 3: think he still believes he's doing a show like on
15:16
Speaker 3: like first take with Steven A. When he talks to
15:19
Speaker 3: the media, he's overly dramatic. He's self absorbed. He plays
15:22
Speaker 3: to the cameras. And the good news is we can
15:25
Speaker 3: say now officially, JJ Reddick as a coach is the
15:28
Speaker 3: same as JJ Reddick as a player. The guy missed
15:30
Speaker 3: every big shot with the Lob City Clippers when it mattered,
15:34
Speaker 3: and as coach of the Lakers, he embarrassed himself in
15:37
Speaker 3: the playff.
15:37
Speaker 2: Of course, he was just.
15:38
Speaker 3: Following the marching orders of Lebron James. His lead coach
15:43
Speaker 3: is Lebron.
15:43
Speaker 2: He's the assistant.
15:45
Speaker 3: But man a lot and it's it's it's really is inflammation.
15:50
Speaker 3: JJ Reddick is suffering from inflammation, nerve damage. That struck
15:54
Speaker 3: a nerve. It's a sorp subject. He knows, he doesn't
15:58
Speaker 3: he's not qualified to be a head coach. He didn't
16:00
Speaker 3: pay his dues to become a head coach. He jumped
16:03
Speaker 3: in line and that was a totally fair question to ask.
16:07
Speaker 3: Reddick was the first and is the only coach, the
16:10
Speaker 3: only one in the NBA to play all five guys
16:14
Speaker 3: in the entire half of a playoff game. It had
16:17
Speaker 3: never happened, and he did something ridiculous. Again, it's like
16:21
Speaker 3: an fu to Rob Polink is very bizarre. What's going
16:25
Speaker 3: on because like Lebron's kind of shadow running everything, but
16:28
Speaker 3: it's like they're sending these messages out in this game.
16:33
Speaker 3: The first person off the bench was Maxi Kleebah, who
16:36
Speaker 3: you probably don't even know who was on a team.
16:37
Speaker 3: He was trashed the Mavericks tossed in in that Luca trade.
16:41
Speaker 3: The guy hadn't even practiced, according to the TNT broadcast
16:45
Speaker 3: with the Lakers, but he came in there like the
16:48
Speaker 3: first guy off the bench, which was the bird to
16:51
Speaker 3: Rob Polenka, hadn't even practice and not a guy not
16:55
Speaker 3: a game we talked about practice. And then you got
16:57
Speaker 3: Jackson Hayes, who is so far in JJ Reddick's doghouse
17:02
Speaker 3: and really Lebron's doghouse that he got a DNP coach's decision,
17:08
Speaker 3: didn't get off the bench. He's got hemorrhoids, right, now
17:11
Speaker 3: he's getting medication. He's getting medication hemorrhoids from sitting on
17:15
Speaker 3: the bench.
17:16
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so good, it's so great.
17:19
Speaker 3: All right, let's hear one more from JJ Reddick. This
17:22
Speaker 3: was postgame. Here's Reddick doing some evaluation. I'm sure he's
17:26
Speaker 3: going to say how bad he did. Unless he doesn't,
17:28
Speaker 3: let's hear.
17:30
Speaker 6: I'll use my own thoughts to evaluate myself, and I'll
17:34
Speaker 6: use what my players say and what my coaching staff
17:37
Speaker 6: says to evaluate. But you know, I know I can
17:41
Speaker 6: be better, and I know I will get better. I
17:45
Speaker 6: don't necessarily take any satisfaction from how the year went.
17:51
Speaker 6: That's not to say I'm not proud of what the
17:53
Speaker 6: group was able to do and how we're able to
17:56
Speaker 6: figure things out on the fly and put ourselves in
18:00
Speaker 6: a position to have home court in the first round.
18:02
Speaker 6: But there's always there's always ways to get better, and
18:08
Speaker 6: I can I can get a lot better.
18:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure your players will give you a big
18:12
Speaker 3: thumbs up. You sat most of them on the bench
18:14
Speaker 3: the entire time.
18:16
Speaker 2: You battle to get home courts, so you can lose
18:18
Speaker 2: two home games. Some home court advantage, you losers.
18:23
Speaker 3: Oh, it's so good. Oh my god, that is great,
18:27
Speaker 3: So I'd fire him. I would fire JJ Reddick. The
18:31
Speaker 3: Lakers don't really have an owner, they don't, you know,
18:34
Speaker 3: so that won't happen. JJ should have never been hired.
18:38
Speaker 3: I'd fire him. Let him go back and hang out
18:39
Speaker 3: with Stephen A. Smith and give hot takes, you know,
18:42
Speaker 3: rip old NBA players, old men say they were plumbers
18:45
Speaker 3: and all that.
18:45
Speaker 2: Do that? Go ahead, JJ, Yeah, that'd be the way
18:48
Speaker 2: to go. Jeez. Oh, it's how great when people like
18:51
Speaker 2: that lose? Is that not? One of the great things
18:54
Speaker 2: about being some of that fallows sports?
18:56
Speaker 3: When a holes lose like JJ Reddick and the Lakers,
19:00
Speaker 3: is that good?
19:00
Speaker 2: Man? Does that taste good? That is so good? Delicious? Delicious?

20:37
Speaker 2: the show going on right now? Do it?
20:39
Speaker 3: Say a little Ben? That's right, Say a little Ben.
20:42
Speaker 3: At Ben Mahler on Ex Lorraine, you can find her
20:48
Speaker 3: FSR Tech Queen, FSR Tech Queen and Cooper Loop.
20:55
Speaker 2: I don't know why Coop's in a bad mood.
20:57
Speaker 3: I can't imagine why, but you can sail it to
20:59
Speaker 3: Coop at uh Bronco fan, that's a Bronco fan. As
21:04
Speaker 3: we are celebrating one of the great nights in sports,
21:09
Speaker 3: Lebron James has been decommissioned for the NBA playoff.
21:14
Speaker 2: Yes, well, he's actually gonna go to.
21:16
Speaker 3: His mansion in la and then he'll go to his
21:20
Speaker 3: mansion in Ohio, and then he'll go to some votes somewhere.
21:24
Speaker 2: But let's get back to the show, all right.
21:26
Speaker 3: We will get back to the show, and also the
21:28
Speaker 3: Golden State, which I think is an equally amazing story.
21:31
Speaker 3: Steve Kirk gave up on a playoff game and no
21:34
Speaker 3: one seems to be bothered by that.
21:37
Speaker 2: Again, I'm getting older. I just had a birthday this week.
21:39
Speaker 3: I mean, I was not taught in sports that you
21:43
Speaker 3: ever give up on a playoff game, and he did it,
21:46
Speaker 3: and no one seems to really care.
21:50
Speaker 2: How did that happen?
21:51
Speaker 3: How did we get to the place where an NBA
21:53
Speaker 3: coach does not give a crap about a playoff game
21:56
Speaker 3: and gives up midway through, says, no, Moss throws the spot.
22:02
Speaker 2: And that's acceptable.
22:04
Speaker 3: That that's wild to me that nobody like I would
22:08
Speaker 3: be upset if I was, I cared about the Golden
22:09
Speaker 3: State words. The backups got close and then they could
22:13
Speaker 3: have put the starters back in.
22:14
Speaker 2: And they didn't.
22:16
Speaker 3: That is unimaginable. And don't you have to pull for
22:22
Speaker 3: the Rockets now to win that series? They probably won't,
22:24
Speaker 3: but you have to pull for them, right, that's nuts.
22:29
Speaker 3: We did start here with the Lakers, and we're commenting
22:31
Speaker 3: on your your thoughts on that as they are out.
22:35
Speaker 3: Malard prop guy rights since says the Malard militia is
22:38
Speaker 3: relieved that you seem to enjoy your belated birthday gift.
22:41
Speaker 3: I hope that you think of us often as you
22:43
Speaker 3: enjoy and I enjoyed during the year. Well, thank you,
22:47
Speaker 3: malaprop and really thank you for those those wonderful songs
22:50
Speaker 3: that were just outstanding.
22:53
Speaker 2: Love them so much.
22:54
Speaker 3: Mister Luciano writes in and says, as a Laker fan,
22:57
Speaker 3: I give this Mallard monologue a scale of one to ten,
23:01
Speaker 3: a fifteen out of one to ten with some Laker tiers.
23:06
Speaker 2: On the side.
23:06
Speaker 3: Ever since Lebron joined the Lakers, the team has absolutely sucked.
23:10
Speaker 3: Get rid of them from mister Luciano a late night
23:14
Speaker 3: drug tester, right, since this is the Lakers lost on
23:16
Speaker 3: purpose only to help save the environment by not having
23:20
Speaker 3: to fly back to Minnesota.
23:21
Speaker 2: Yes, they're worried about that.
23:24
Speaker 3: They would have lost Game six, think of all the
23:26
Speaker 3: airline fuel and the money they saved. Not necessarily true,
23:29
Speaker 3: because all the players will be flying around on different
23:32
Speaker 3: planes to exotic locations in one way or another. Ferg
23:37
Speaker 3: Dog says, get out your top hats and brooms and
23:40
Speaker 3: men a salta. It's a gentleman's sweep. It's also the
23:44
Speaker 3: most embarrassing performance by a three seed in the first
23:47
Speaker 3: round in NBA history, a new low for the pathetic
23:51
Speaker 3: Fakers franchise. I saw this stat somewhere, and I'm not
23:53
Speaker 3: sure where. I saw a lot of things they said.
23:56
Speaker 3: This is the first time in the history of that
23:57
Speaker 3: franchise that they've ever been a top three seed.
24:01
Speaker 2: And lost in the first round.
24:03
Speaker 3: This is the most embarrassing in Laker history they had
24:07
Speaker 3: anytime they had been good enough to be a top
24:09
Speaker 3: three seed, they had never lost in the first round.
24:12
Speaker 3: You can no longer say that you can't Andy in
24:15
Speaker 3: Lionel Lakes, Minnesota says I'm loving it. That's got to
24:18
Speaker 3: be the best battle of monologue of the year. Give
24:20
Speaker 3: yourself a Benny, Benny, all right, what else do we have?
24:24
Speaker 3: Page down, King Roy writes, since your monologue just proves
24:27
Speaker 3: that the Lakers run la, he says, right into the ground.
24:32
Speaker 3: The Clippers are getting ready to beat the Nuggets, and
24:36
Speaker 3: you are celebrating. You're in a great mood, I am,
24:38
Speaker 3: King Roy. I'm a wonderful mood here. It is a
24:42
Speaker 3: great great Mitzvah is what it is. Joe the ghost
24:46
Speaker 3: unner in Ohio rights and he's out chasing poltergeist, he says, helpathetic.
24:50
Speaker 3: The Lakers sound like a new franchise. Jerry Buss is
24:54
Speaker 3: trying to dig out of the grave as we speak.
24:56
Speaker 3: Right now, Tom from Fullerton with a.
25:01
Speaker 2: Gif of what I am doing right now? Who else
25:04
Speaker 2: do you have pitched now? Supermarket? Steve writes in he's
25:08
Speaker 2: no longer on strike, He.
25:10
Speaker 3: Says, Duke should take back JJ Reddick his degree. He
25:14
Speaker 3: is an awful representation of how smart you have to
25:17
Speaker 3: be to attend Duke super Market, Steve says, refusing to
25:21
Speaker 3: play your only center while the other teams center goes
25:24
Speaker 3: for twenty seven and twenty four.
25:27
Speaker 2: Is pretty effing stupid. I thought it was brilliant. I
25:30
Speaker 2: thought it was great. Hey, listen, I'm stubborn. I'm stubborn too,
25:34
Speaker 2: so I understand stubborn.
25:37
Speaker 3: And if you think JJ Reddick's really making the decisions here,
25:40
Speaker 3: come on. He was a podcast co host who got
25:44
Speaker 3: the job because he did a podcast with Lebron James.
25:48
Speaker 2: That's why he has the job. Hello, Big grig Rob
25:52
Speaker 2: from the Highways and Byways of North America.
25:54
Speaker 3: I've met him in Kansas City, he writes in good Man,
25:57
Speaker 3: Big grig Rob. He says, Oh, how the mighty have fallen?
26:01
Speaker 2: The king is dead.
26:02
Speaker 3: These la fakers took the fraud bait hook line and sinker.
26:08
Speaker 2: I think it's I think you got that out of order.
26:10
Speaker 2: This is the goat. This is the guy who is
26:13
Speaker 2: better than Jordan. There you go, Bendy.
26:15
Speaker 3: Brian Wheeler reference earns you a doctorate tonight with honor.
26:19
Speaker 3: I love, but I miss Brian with a great man
26:21
Speaker 3: and one of the wonderful people that I've met on
26:24
Speaker 3: my road in life.
26:26
Speaker 2: It was the voice of the Trail Blazers for a
26:28
Speaker 2: number of years.
26:29
Speaker 3: He was a voice of the Blazers when they actually
26:30
Speaker 3: had good teams. So it's a long time ago. Chipping
26:33
Speaker 3: the q'es rights and says a plus on the Malay monologue.
26:36
Speaker 3: I could laugh at the fate of the Lakers, but
26:39
Speaker 3: unless my Rockets somehow I'd play the Warriors in the
26:43
Speaker 3: next couple of games, they'll be sitting at home just
26:46
Speaker 3: like the Lakers, unless Houston ends.
26:47
Speaker 2: Up winning it all. It's a moot point to me. Well, yeah,
26:54
Speaker 2: the Rockets shouldn't win Game six.
26:59
Speaker 3: However, if you think there's something called karma, you believe
27:04
Speaker 3: in that kind of thing. Steve Kerr is certainly testing
27:07
Speaker 3: that theory. I seem to remember a couple years back,
27:11
Speaker 3: the Warriors gave up on a game in Memphis, conceded
27:15
Speaker 3: a game to the Grizzlies.
27:16
Speaker 2: And then they came back and won.
27:18
Speaker 3: So it has happened before, but that doesn't mean it's
27:20
Speaker 3: going to happen again. Terry in England is riding in.
27:25
Speaker 3: He's wearing his full brock Purty onesie, and he's got
27:30
Speaker 3: his forty nine er diaper on. He says, Malar's strutting
27:33
Speaker 3: like a peacock in full flow, destroying lefraud and his
27:39
Speaker 3: Laker harem, So he says. Gunner in Minnesota writes in
27:43
Speaker 3: he says it's over. Bye Bye King hand the crown over.
27:47
Speaker 2: You're done, time to retire.
27:49
Speaker 3: I'm sure Gunner Lebron's listening in his three hundred thousand
27:53
Speaker 3: dollars automobile as he's driving around LA.
27:56
Speaker 2: He's listening to the show right now.
27:57
Speaker 3: He's saying, well, I wasn't going to retire, but Gunner
27:59
Speaker 3: at the wall in northern Minnesota wants me to retire.
28:02
Speaker 3: So I'm out. That's it. I'm gone see you later.
28:08
Speaker 3: Bye bye. All right, let's go now, get a little
28:12
Speaker 3: flavor on the state of the Lakers. The sky is falling,
28:16
Speaker 3: and let's start out with Mike in the South Bay
28:19
Speaker 3: there in Manhattan Beach. Mike, welcome your first up here.
28:24
Speaker 3: It is the Ben Maler Show. Welcome Mike on Fox.
28:30
Speaker 3: Mike is speechless. He doesn't know what to say. He's bewildered,
28:34
Speaker 3: he's dishevel he's bedraggled.
28:37
Speaker 2: Mike krazzled. I don't know. I went to him. I
28:40
Speaker 2: don't hear him. Did he fall asleep? It's too early
28:43
Speaker 2: to fall asleep. I mean usually it's later in the
28:45
Speaker 2: show people fall asleep. Isn't that usually how that works?
28:49
Speaker 3: If you said Mike's a feisty caller, I thought he
28:51
Speaker 3: would throw some fire. Now let's go to we'll get
28:53
Speaker 3: rid of him. Let's go to Dennis in Sundyego. Hello, Dennis, welcome,
28:58
Speaker 3: be less Ben.
29:00
Speaker 7: You all right?
29:01
Speaker 2: What's that? Dennis? What's that it said?
29:03
Speaker 7: Blest Ben?
29:05
Speaker 2: Are you okay?
29:06
Speaker 3: I hear cackling a lot down here in things wonder wonderful?
29:13
Speaker 2: Yes, I think the mighty the mighty six.
29:18
Speaker 7: Remember you remember all the listers that go on to
29:21
Speaker 7: Fox and become stars. We remember everybody down here.
29:24
Speaker 1: Ben, Ben?
29:25
Speaker 7: What happened with you and the what happened with you
29:27
Speaker 7: in the Lakers? Are you all right? Are you? You're
29:30
Speaker 7: cackling like a mental patient about them losing and you
29:33
Speaker 7: watch that.
29:35
Speaker 2: You got a talk show to do, Dennis. I'm doing.
29:38
Speaker 2: I get I get you.
29:39
Speaker 7: I heard all the emails from England and all the
29:42
Speaker 7: other places too. Hey Ben, who who after who? After
29:45
Speaker 7: Brownie or Brandy James or at fifty five? Who would
29:48
Speaker 7: have you taken if you were the Lakers?
29:50
Speaker 1: Play?
29:51
Speaker 3: Ronnie James should not be on the roster. You should
29:53
Speaker 3: have released him. You should not be on the team.
29:55
Speaker 3: You gave him a guarantee contract. The fact that he
29:58
Speaker 3: was taking up a roster that is embarrassing.
30:01
Speaker 7: Who else should have they taken?
30:03
Speaker 2: Who else have anyone? At this point, there's a million.
30:06
Speaker 3: Basketball players out there. Bronnie James on the team. You're
30:09
Speaker 3: because of his because of his kid? Yes, we're just okay,
30:14
Speaker 3: you are well, you at loose.
30:16
Speaker 2: You know you're a little person, Dennis. You're you're aware
30:18
Speaker 2: you're a little person. You're aware of that.
30:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, so so so who who should have they taken?
30:26
Speaker 2: Literally anyone?
30:27
Speaker 3: Dennis, And you know that, you know that you're defending nepotism.
30:31
Speaker 2: You think it's.
30:32
Speaker 3: Somebody Lebron was Lebron? Just admit right now, Dennis, admit
30:36
Speaker 3: right now. Lebron was exposed. They had no bench, and
30:40
Speaker 3: they they carried his his suck bag kid at the
30:43
Speaker 3: didn't play d n P coach's decision. You could add
30:47
Speaker 3: somebody on the team that could have played.
30:49
Speaker 7: Sure, I'm not sure if it was a family member
30:51
Speaker 7: that hurts you or somebody, but that sounds like some
30:53
Speaker 7: deep seated hate.
30:55
Speaker 2: Okay, again, you're doing I understand. I understand you don't
30:59
Speaker 2: want to address the issue, and I don't blame Listen, Dennis, I.
31:01
Speaker 3: Don't you're making this about me and I appreciate that, Dennis.
31:04
Speaker 3: I know I'm more interesting than the Lakers. I understand
31:06
Speaker 3: I'm more interesting than the Lakers. Coming well, I'm glad
31:10
Speaker 3: that you're making it about me. And that's called moving,
31:14
Speaker 3: that's called it, that's called the distraction, is what that is?
31:17
Speaker 7: You laugh like you laugh that JJ ended. You hate
31:20
Speaker 7: JJ for for for adequately calling out a reporter that
31:24
Speaker 7: was definitely calling out a.
31:25
Speaker 2: Reporter that asked a legitimate question.
31:27
Speaker 3: He's the worst coach in NBA history and he gets
31:31
Speaker 3: called out on it, and and he's so sensitive, he's
31:34
Speaker 3: such a softy JJ Reddick. He can't he has no diplomacy,
31:38
Speaker 3: he can't answer the question. He thinks he's on ESPN's
31:42
Speaker 3: first pake when he's the coach of the Lakers.
31:45
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. The answer is so embarrassing. And here's the
31:51
Speaker 2: great thing. Listen, Dennis, I understand, Dennis, you probably have
31:55
Speaker 2: your Laker face paying on right now. You're all excited
31:58
Speaker 2: about that.
31:59
Speaker 3: So you're okay with the Just for the record here,
32:02
Speaker 3: this is your typical low information Laker historian. So you're
32:06
Speaker 3: okay with the Lakers having Bronnie James Kidd on the team.
32:09
Speaker 3: Who took up a roster spot. You're okay with the
32:12
Speaker 3: Lakers having Bronnie James podcaster his podcaster buddy.
32:18
Speaker 2: By the way, Laurada, I know you're Laurada. Why are
32:21
Speaker 2: you leaving him up? By the way, I do not
32:23
Speaker 2: understand me.
32:24
Speaker 3: At some point the battle, Ben, at some point I'll
32:27
Speaker 3: get somebody that will actually know how to do this.
32:29
Speaker 2: My god. All right, anyway, it is the Ben Mahler Show.
32:33
Speaker 2: I mean, I gotta teach radio now.
32:35
Speaker 3: I teach like a radio class how to properly do
32:37
Speaker 3: talk radio. I'll write a book. I guess I have
32:40
Speaker 3: to do that. Oh my god, unbelievable. Anyway, all right,
32:44
Speaker 3: it is the Ben Mahler Show. We'll take more of
32:46
Speaker 3: these riveting phone calls from Laker fanboys. I'm honored, though,
32:50
Speaker 3: that you are moving the conversation away from where it
32:54
Speaker 3: should be at lebron Bronnie JJ Reddick, and you're making
32:59
Speaker 3: this about me.
33:00
Speaker 2: I'm flattered. I know I'm kind of a big deal.
33:03
Speaker 3: I get it, I understand it, my guy. All Right,
33:05
Speaker 3: anyway is the Ben Malishow. Will take your calls. You
33:08

33:13
Speaker 2: one push this back.
33:13
Speaker 3: A little bit, but it is a doozy all right,
33:16
Speaker 3: Emoji payback.
33:18
Speaker 2: It is so so good. We'll get to that. But
33:22
Speaker 2: time now for the who am I?
33:24
Speaker 7: Game?
33:25
Speaker 2: And here it is? Who am I?
