Speaker 1: of the original Recipe podcast, and a happy Tuesday to you.
0:08
Speaker 1: It is the twenty fourth day of June. But you
0:10
Speaker 1: already knew that because you looked at your smartphone, or
0:14
Speaker 1: if you're blind, you listened to your smartphone. But here
0:17
Speaker 1: an hour number one. It is the post mortem on
0:20
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals, the NBA taking a victory lap for
0:23
Speaker 1: the TV ratings in Game seven. How do you assess
0:28
Speaker 1: this one? Also, our colleague Colin Cowherd is among a
0:31
Speaker 1: handful of pundits recommending the league immediately shortened the NBA
0:35
Speaker 1: playoff format to a best of five from a best
0:38
Speaker 1: of seven. Any insights you'd like to add on that?
0:42
Speaker 1: And young stars Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren set to
0:45
Speaker 1: get massive rookie scale contract extensions from the Thunder. Give
0:50
Speaker 1: me the pros and cons of this, we'll talk about
0:53
Speaker 1: that and more. Settle in here. It is. It's our
0:57
Speaker 1: number one. It is report card time. Yes, our favorite time,
1:06
Speaker 1: report card time. Welcome in the beginning of another night
1:11
Speaker 1: of the Ben Malor Show. We are in the air
1:15
Speaker 1: everywhere chewing the rag as we provide scoreboard shadows whatever
1:22
Speaker 1: that means. Coast to coast, port of the border and
1:24
Speaker 1: beyond on the mast and enormously powerful microphones of fsre
1:31
Speaker 1: ammundating live from the bakery, do it live as we sell.
1:37
Speaker 1: That takes by the dozen, a baker's dozen from the
1:41
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved by I forty Ian,
1:46
Speaker 1: who is given the rubber stamp on this and this
1:49
Speaker 1: portion of the Ben Mallor Show, made possible in part
1:51
Speaker 1: by our friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years,
1:55
Speaker 1: ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
1:57
Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, ship fast end
2:01
Speaker 1: freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
2:07
Speaker 1: like mobile tire installation, tier rack dot com, the Way
2:11
Speaker 1: Tire Buying show me. So our lead this hour is
2:16
Speaker 1: from pro Bouncable. Well, are you talking about basketball this season? Eddy?
2:20
Speaker 1: Don't talk about that? Shut up Smacculi, you moron, and
2:23
Speaker 1: all you other idiots. All right, listen, I'm not gonna
2:26
Speaker 1: sit here and start the show with that Celtic trade
2:30
Speaker 1: with the Blazers. That's not worthy of starting the show.
2:32
Speaker 1: But something that did catch my attention as the curtain
2:37
Speaker 1: did come now finally on the finals as it all ended.
2:43
Speaker 1: That's all she wrote there. Sunday night, we talked about
2:46
Speaker 1: that in depth as Oklahoma City celebrating a championship and
2:51
Speaker 1: the MVP Shade Jogis Alexander and the Thunder beating Indiana,
2:55
Speaker 1: a hobbled pacer team at the end in seven games.
2:58
Speaker 1: But the report card it came out, Oh, it's so exciting. No,
3:03
Speaker 1: I don't work for the NBA. I don't get paid
3:05
Speaker 1: by the NBA. I have no skin in the game.
3:08
Speaker 1: I am merely an independent observer in the middle of
3:11
Speaker 1: the night, a neutral party, neutral party. But I love
3:16
Speaker 1: it and I look forward to this because it is
3:19
Speaker 1: a wellness check to see how you're doing. So the
3:24
Speaker 1: report card came out. I don't if you saw this
3:26
Speaker 1: or not. Perhaps not. I don't care about that. All right,
3:29
Speaker 1: well I care. It matters to me because I think
3:33
Speaker 1: it's funny. I think it's funny. So the big headline was,
3:36
Speaker 1: and this came out from the NBA marketing arm. They
3:40
Speaker 1: pumped their chest out. They were like a peacock with
3:42
Speaker 1: their feathers in the air everywhere. They were very braggadocious.
3:46
Speaker 1: They said, listen, are you haters? All you people that
3:50
Speaker 1: said mean things. The Pacers Thunder Game seven was the
3:55
Speaker 1: most watched NBA game in six years. Put that in
4:00
Speaker 1: your pipe and smoking. Sixteen point four million out of
4:03
Speaker 1: a country of three hundred plus million. Wow. Watch the
4:07
Speaker 1: game seven. Pretty good game. Wasn't all that close in
4:12
Speaker 1: the second half, late third quarter, Oklahoma City pulled away
4:15
Speaker 1: and then the fourth quarter pretty much kept a hobbled
4:20
Speaker 1: Pacer team at arms length in the fourth quarter. So
4:22
Speaker 1: let us discuss the question. Here's the question for the
4:26
Speaker 1: steam panel. So the NBA is taking a victory lap
4:29
Speaker 1: here for the television ratings in the finals Game seven.
4:34
Speaker 1: How do you assess this one? So I've got Copperfield,
4:39
Speaker 1: Cyprus and Andy Warhol and we will combine all of
4:44
Speaker 1: these things together and we are going to tell the truth,
4:48
Speaker 1: the whole truth, and nothing but the sports talk radio truth.
4:51
Speaker 1: All right. So ay, this is what's called a deja
4:56
Speaker 1: vu situation. I am not talking about the Gentlemen's club.
4:59
Speaker 1: I'm going dejav here. And here's why the NBA, yet again,
5:03
Speaker 1: yet again, is gaslighting you. Maybe not you, because I'd
5:09
Speaker 1: like to think that you're a different level than the
5:11
Speaker 1: low information fan, But they're gas lighting the public is
5:14
Speaker 1: what they're doing. Do not be a resident of the
5:18
Speaker 1: village of Suckersville. Do not do it now, Adam Silver
5:22
Speaker 1: and his underlings, all right, taking a bow here for
5:26
Speaker 1: the supposed rating success a victory and the television ratings here,
5:31
Speaker 1: and the usual suspects and sports media slapper slabber, slobbery,
5:35
Speaker 1: you know who they are, are gleefully regurgitating this as
5:39
Speaker 1: the gospel. See, I told you so. They just take
5:42
Speaker 1: the press release. Now. I used to run a website
5:45
Speaker 1: and I would get these press releases, and I knew
5:49
Speaker 1: the places that would just republish them without like adding anything.
5:53
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of people, I get, a lot
5:55
Speaker 1: of people are busy. You know, I got stuff going on,
5:58
Speaker 1: and you don't read past the headline. And they know that.
6:01
Speaker 1: They know whatever they put in a news release will
6:04
Speaker 1: be repackaged almost verbatim, and people will only see the
6:09
Speaker 1: headline and all that. So it is true that Game
6:13
Speaker 1: seven of the NBA Finals between Oklahoma City and Indiana
6:16
Speaker 1: to sixteen point four million viewers. Golf clop, right, little
6:21
Speaker 1: golf clop. That's nice. However, as the late great radio man,
6:26
Speaker 1: the legend of radio from a different generation. Paul Harvey
6:29
Speaker 1: would say, now for the rest of the story. Now
6:34
Speaker 1: for the rest of the store. So the quiet part
6:38
Speaker 1: that the NBA does not does not want you to
6:41
Speaker 1: talk about. They don't want to bring this up, So
6:46
Speaker 1: don't bring this up. See, I'm not part of the mainstream.
6:48
Speaker 1: We're not late at night here, so I can talk
6:50
Speaker 1: about this. But those mainstream daytime guys, they're not supposed
6:53
Speaker 1: to talk about it. So the part they don't want
6:55
Speaker 1: you to talk about is the overall final ratings. So
7:01
Speaker 1: the full seven game NBA Finals, the worst rated final
7:06
Speaker 1: in a generation eighteen years, which is closing in on twenty,
7:10
Speaker 1: which is a generation seven. I was barely alive in
7:14
Speaker 1: O seven. The last time the NBA Finals did worse
7:18
Speaker 1: than this, and that was back when the San Antonio
7:20
Speaker 1: Spurs in the San Antonio River. They floated down that
7:24
Speaker 1: river as champions over Lebron's cadavers in the seven NBA
7:30
Speaker 1: Finals in that was a David Stern production, and he
7:34
Speaker 1: had to pretend like people actually cared then. But David
7:37
Speaker 1: Stern was more honest because he knew when there was
7:39
Speaker 1: bull crap could He was very hard. It was very
7:41
Speaker 1: hard for him to sell the bull crap Adam Silver
7:44
Speaker 1: because he's like a lizard person, he seems to have
7:46
Speaker 1: no problem selling it. So eighteen years after that, the
7:52
Speaker 1: finals this year, and that this was a seven game series.
7:56
Speaker 1: And imagine I was actually texting one of my my
8:00
Speaker 1: TV friends, who are better people because they're on television
8:02
Speaker 1: and actually this guy works behind the scenes, and I say, well,
8:04
Speaker 1: what would the numbers have been had they not gotten
8:07
Speaker 1: the sixteen million? And they were like, well, it's hard
8:09
Speaker 1: to really know exactly what it would have been, but
8:11
Speaker 1: it would have been you would have to go back
8:13
Speaker 1: like twenty five years or thirty years for a lower
8:18
Speaker 1: rating than that. And so Adam Soilber and his PR
8:22
Speaker 1: machine churning over and over and over, you know, doing
8:27
Speaker 1: the thing where they hope nobody notices. You know that
8:29
Speaker 1: I hope nobody notices this, and that that one game
8:33
Speaker 1: spike in game seven, it does not make up for
8:37
Speaker 1: what two weeks of apathy. I mean, this is what
8:40
Speaker 1: we're doings of apathy in the NBA Finals and the league.
8:46
Speaker 1: And this is their their own doing it. And we've
8:48
Speaker 1: talked about this repeatedly. They've gotten so used to selling
8:52
Speaker 1: style over substance that they now even they spend the numbers.
8:57
Speaker 1: It reminds me when my early days in radio. I
8:59
Speaker 1: remember we had a program director the ratings. I was
9:02
Speaker 1: doing local radio. The ratings would come out and the
9:06
Speaker 1: boss would go into a cubby hole in the back
9:09
Speaker 1: of the radio station for like three hours and spin
9:13
Speaker 1: the numbers because we had terrible ratings. But he would
9:15
Speaker 1: find like one demographic, right, men seventy plus that have
9:22
Speaker 1: two teeth. We're number one in the market, you know.
9:25
Speaker 1: And he'd sell that and be like, all right, we're good.
9:27
Speaker 1: We're number one in the market men's seventy plus with
9:29
Speaker 1: like three teeth to dominate there. And so that's what
9:32
Speaker 1: the NBA is doing it. David Copperfield is impressed. It's
9:36
Speaker 1: like hocus pocus. Yeah, the ratings were the worst rated
9:39
Speaker 1: in eighteen years. But we did really well in Game seven,
9:43
Speaker 1: really well. Right, look over here, don't look over there.
9:46
Speaker 1: It's the art of magic, and I love magic. The
9:49
Speaker 1: art of magic is to get the people to look
9:50
Speaker 1: where you want them to look and not where you're
9:52
Speaker 1: actually doing the switch. And that's what the NBA did.
9:55
Speaker 1: And so don't worry about the fact if you're panite,
9:57
Speaker 1: don't worry about the fact the first six game the
10:00
Speaker 1: NBA Finals barely move the needle. Don't worry about that. No, no, no, no, no. Now,
10:06
Speaker 1: the NBA has to live with the reality that they
10:10
Speaker 1: have cooked up here. For multiple generations forty years, the
10:15
Speaker 1: league has been totally dependent on big market glamour teams, drama,
10:22
Speaker 1: player movement, the trades. Now, of course, recently it's been
10:27
Speaker 1: social media buzz that doesn't translate into money, which is
10:31
Speaker 1: the problem. They haven't really monetized that in a way
10:34
Speaker 1: that they can make any real money on it. And
10:36
Speaker 1: so the Finals featured if you're a hard old basketball guy,
10:40
Speaker 1: all the nerds on social media like, oh, this is
10:42
Speaker 1: the greatest team basketball man. The public doesn't want to
10:46
Speaker 1: consume your product. It's like a restaurant where the food's
10:49
Speaker 1: got the finest quality. Nobody wants to eat it because
10:52
Speaker 1: they think it's disgusting, but it's oh, it's really healthy
10:54
Speaker 1: for you right now. Page two. So one of the
10:57
Speaker 1: other storylines here is the snap crackle pop Tyrese, Haliburton
11:01
Speaker 1: Gonzo in the first quarter and people continue to be
11:04
Speaker 1: freaking out, O MG Haliburton, the Achilles injury. I can't
11:10
Speaker 1: believe it now. Our teammate, our colleague, Colin Cowherd from
11:14
Speaker 1: his humble abote in Chicago, is among a handful of
11:17
Speaker 1: pundits recommending the league immediately shortened the NBA playus. Did
11:23
Speaker 1: you see this? Yes, He's not alone. By the way,
11:26
Speaker 1: there's other people that are also advocating that the NBA
11:28
Speaker 1: must shorten the postseason. No more best of seven. No
11:33
Speaker 1: our delicate little flowers cannot handle the best of seven.
11:37
Speaker 1: That we need to go to a best of five.
11:42
Speaker 1: Save our beloved basketball heroes, go to a best of five.
11:46
Speaker 1: Any insights you'd like to add on this. So when
11:50
Speaker 1: I saw this, I immediately thought, well, this is sports talk, Barry,
11:54
Speaker 1: this is the Babylon Bee or the Onion is satire,
12:00
Speaker 1: NBA sentel, this is not real. This is fake. I'm
12:03
Speaker 1: not gonna fall for it. And then I saw it
12:06
Speaker 1: again and I watched the clip and I was like, well,
12:08
Speaker 1: I think that's legit. I think he actually said it.
12:10
Speaker 1: I can't believe he said it, but he said it,
12:11
Speaker 1: and so other people said it. So it's like it's
12:14
Speaker 1: Cypress Hill, is what it is. It's insane to the membrane,
12:18
Speaker 1: it's insane to the membrane reminds me of the pandemic
12:23
Speaker 1: when people are running around out of an abundance of caution.
12:27
Speaker 1: Don't do anything out of what it was this countion.
12:29
Speaker 1: It will never be safe enough for our NBA heroes
12:33
Speaker 1: never ever. Why stop at a best of five because
12:37
Speaker 1: in neverally someone's gonna get hurt in a best of five,
12:41
Speaker 1: So why would you do that? You shouldn't have best
12:43
Speaker 1: of five? How about best of three? You know? And
12:46
Speaker 1: wait a minute, somebody could get hurt in a best
12:49
Speaker 1: of thie. So we should go like the ncaa March
12:51
Speaker 1: madness and just to a single elimination. But in ever
12:55
Speaker 1: least somebody might pop an achilles in a single elimission game.
12:58
Speaker 1: We need to protect our NBA hereros. These are our superstars.
13:02
Speaker 1: We need to protect them. So I've decided I will
13:05
Speaker 1: let the NBA if they pay me a nominal fee,
13:08
Speaker 1: I will allow the NBA to borrow my friend the
13:12
Speaker 1: penny from Benny versus the penny, and they can flip
13:15
Speaker 1: the penny so no one will get harmed. Just bring
13:18
Speaker 1: in like Lebron will represent the Lakers, and Kawhi will
13:22
Speaker 1: represent the Clippers, and like everyone you know, everyone's star
13:24
Speaker 1: player and then just flip flip the penny boom done.
13:29
Speaker 1: That's the way. Forget the five games. Somebody could still
13:32
Speaker 1: get hurt. You could see, you could see these world
13:34
Speaker 1: class athletes to spend millions of dollars a year on
13:37
Speaker 1: their bodies, poping achilles. So just bringing the penny Listen,
13:41
Speaker 1: nobody wanted to see Tyreese Halliburton limp off like he
13:44
Speaker 1: was at a you know, a gymnasium, you know, somewhere
13:47
Speaker 1: at some fitness center, playing a bunch of middle aged
13:51
Speaker 1: guys and he popped his achilles and all that. But
13:52
Speaker 1: the answer is, in all seriousness, you don't chop away
13:57
Speaker 1: with the machete the NBA playoffs and chop games away
14:02
Speaker 1: like you're tossing marshmallows into a fire or something like that.
14:06
Speaker 1: The playoffs are supposed to be a grind. It's supposed
14:10
Speaker 1: to be the team that stands at the top of
14:13
Speaker 1: the mountain when it's all said and done, has survived
14:16
Speaker 1: the war of attrition. But everyone's so soft, like what happened, Like,
14:22
Speaker 1: guys got it, Guys have always gotten hurt. It's like, now, oh,
14:25
Speaker 1: no one can get hurt. Oh my god, all right now.
14:27
Speaker 1: Last word. So one of the other storylines. You're fresh
14:30
Speaker 1: off the NBA Championship. The chatter within the league circles
14:36
Speaker 1: is that money, money, money coming down, a lot of money.
14:40
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren skeletor of the Thunder, they
14:46
Speaker 1: are going to receive massive rookie scale extensions, which means,
14:52
Speaker 1: let me praise this a different way Chiching Chi Ching,
14:56
Speaker 1: Chiching from OKC the Thunder. So give me the pros
15:01
Speaker 1: and cons of what's about to happen, all right, So
15:06
Speaker 1: the pros to the victor goes the spoils. Right, you
15:09
Speaker 1: win a championship, everyone's got that excitement and you've got
15:13
Speaker 1: that rush of energy, and so congratulations you hosted the trophy.
15:19
Speaker 1: There fireworks over Bricktown and the confetti coming down thunder Rally,
15:24
Speaker 1: everyone's all excited and all that stuff. And you saw
15:27
Speaker 1: Sam Presty. Boy that everyone loves Sam Presty. My goodness,
15:31
Speaker 1: holy crap, looks like a nerd to me anyway. So
15:34
Speaker 1: Sam Presty, they're standing the top as the champion GM
15:37
Speaker 1: and everyone's celebrating. All the basketball nerds or they're all
15:41
Speaker 1: excited there, they're all Jones up and all that. Now
15:45
Speaker 1: the cons on this are even as the champagne continues
15:51
Speaker 1: to flow in Okase and everything's covered in gold. Now
15:56
Speaker 1: you win the championship and all that, there is a
15:59
Speaker 1: disease which Oklahoma City has now acquired. And the illness,
16:05
Speaker 1: which was first diagnosed by pat Riley a million years ago,
16:09
Speaker 1: is the disease of me. It's below the surface. You
16:12
Speaker 1: can't see it right now, but it's there. It's just
16:16
Speaker 1: developing the disease of me, and it's gonna echo more
16:21
Speaker 1: and more and more throughout the dust ball. You've got
16:23
Speaker 1: the generational wealth being passed out to everyone. And as
16:28
Speaker 1: Andy Warhol famously said back in his day, life, just
16:31
Speaker 1: a series of images that change and they repeat themselves
16:35
Speaker 1: as they change. They're just the same thing happens to
16:38
Speaker 1: new people. And that's kind of it. So we've seen
16:41
Speaker 1: this before. We've seen this before, and we will not
16:44
Speaker 1: pretend I mean, maybe you will, but I will not
16:47
Speaker 1: pretend that the situation cann be any different. In Oklahoma City.
16:52
Speaker 1: They look like an AAU team the way they were
16:55
Speaker 1: all celebrating on all that stuff. But even if it's subtle,
16:58
Speaker 1: even if it's subtle. You know, it's we over me,
17:02
Speaker 1: which was the mantra that used to win the championship.
17:04
Speaker 1: And suddenly you're starting to think more about stats and
17:07
Speaker 1: contracts and things like that, and you get your money
17:09
Speaker 1: and all that, and the salaries start going up, up
17:11
Speaker 1: and away, and the swell your bank account gets a
17:14
Speaker 1: little bit bigger. You're like, hey, manute man, wait a minute,
17:16
Speaker 1: and I want a championship here. Maybe I want to
17:18
Speaker 1: go play in a bigger city where there's more to do,
17:20
Speaker 1: And why am I here? I like Oklahoma City, but
17:24
Speaker 1: I want to go somewhere else with the lights are
17:25
Speaker 1: a little brighter and there's more to do and why not?
17:28
Speaker 1: And then the pecking order gets a little murky, and
17:33
Speaker 1: the culture, the culture club becomes uh, it's a buzzword.
17:37
Speaker 1: Nobody actually follows it, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
17:41
Speaker 1: It is the Bane Maverler show. What do you think
17:43
Speaker 1: about all? That? Will take your calls on that. We
17:46
Speaker 1: did have a trade. We'll talk more about it as
17:48
Speaker 1: we go through the overnight. The Celtics have said bye
17:50
Speaker 1: bye to Drew Holliday. They trade him back to the Blazers,
17:54
Speaker 1: a team he played for in the past. He goes
17:56
Speaker 1: back to Portland. But this one thing the Blazers needed,
17:59
Speaker 1: that missing piece, a thirty five year old point guard.
18:02
Speaker 1: Hell of a trade by the Trailblazers to get Drew
18:04
Speaker 1: Holiday back, and Anthony Simmons goes to Boston. He's a
18:10
Speaker 1: dime a dozen. See some nerds all excited about that
18:15
Speaker 1: one thing I've learned. I covered some bad NBA teams
18:17
Speaker 1: back in the day. You never get excited about a
18:19
Speaker 1: young player putting up stats on a crap team because
18:21
Speaker 1: that's the easiest thing in the world to do. That's
18:24
Speaker 1: the easiest thing in the world. Dude. No one's paying attention,
18:26
Speaker 1: no one's watching. It's a much different animal going to
18:28
Speaker 1: a team that actually people care about and pay attention
18:31
Speaker 1: to and actually win games, which is what Simmons is gonna,
18:34

20:51
Speaker 1: Rather than talk in general terms, I'd like a specific
20:53
Speaker 1: I'm anything I said was incorrect. I said that that
20:56
Speaker 1: championship they wanted congratulations, but it didn't move the needle.
21:01
Speaker 1: That's it. Aka Terror writes in from Rochester and says
21:06
Speaker 1: the only way I would tune in to a basketball
21:10
Speaker 1: game or a tender game live is if Lorena was
21:13
Speaker 1: my date. Hey, Adam, Silver basketball sucks. Viva la Baseball,
21:19
Speaker 1: says Inca Terror. Baseball very big in the INCA community,
21:24
Speaker 1: Very very popular, Yes, very very popular. What else do
21:30
Speaker 1: we have, King Roy says, speaking of the finals, your
21:33
Speaker 1: colleague Colin Cowhard ranked the Lakers Mickey Mouse Championship the
21:37
Speaker 1: best team to win the finals in the last seven years.
21:40
Speaker 1: I thought Daytime Radio was supposed to be taken more seriously.
21:42
Speaker 1: What say you bet well, I'm sleeping when Coward's on,
21:45
Speaker 1: So I don't know about that. But I go by
21:46
Speaker 1: a guy who was on that team who pointed out
21:50
Speaker 1: Alex Caruso that he's now got a legitimate ring that
21:54
Speaker 1: he pointed out, that's an illegitimate he implied, that's an
21:57
Speaker 1: illegitimate ring, the twenty twenty ring, and Coward's got to
22:01
Speaker 1: stir it up. It's one of the things like I
22:02
Speaker 1: don't do lists on this show. As you know, we
22:04
Speaker 1: don't do list here. But the whole point of doing
22:06
Speaker 1: a list. I remember the late great TJ. Simers, may
22:08
Speaker 1: he rest in peace, the columnist for the La Times,
22:10
Speaker 1: buddy of mine, and he talked about you do list.
22:13
Speaker 1: You've got to throw something outrageous in there because people
22:16
Speaker 1: get worked up. There's a flaw in human beings. They
22:19
Speaker 1: get worked up over list. Oh, I can't believe you
22:22
Speaker 1: put that guy ahead of that guy. Oh my god,
22:24
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's so ridiculous. Oh man, they go nuts.
22:30
Speaker 1: Freddie writes in and and says, I would recommend they
22:34
Speaker 1: play NBA two K, but they might still get injured.
22:38
Speaker 1: Those those thumbs. Yeah you mention assumed he getting hurt
22:44
Speaker 1: playing NBA two K and they keep showing the replay
22:46
Speaker 1: of his thumb bending backwards. Oh my god, it's them.
22:49
Speaker 1: Get that man, some ice, Get that man, some ice.
22:54
Speaker 1: Brian says, the Malor curse, well, no, we solved that, now, Brian,
22:59
Speaker 1: for years on this show it was called the curse
23:00
Speaker 1: of the Benbino. That has been solved. The curse of
23:03
Speaker 1: the Van Bino has been solved. He says that the Mala
23:05
Speaker 1: curse strikes again, this time on the Icon Tyrese Haliburton
23:08
Speaker 1: and his achilles missing all of next season.
23:11
Speaker 4: Is that when you like predict something.
23:13
Speaker 1: Well, the curse of the Beanbino is when I merely
23:15
Speaker 1: say something that should happen and everyone agrees is going
23:18
Speaker 1: to happen does not happen. And that was created by
23:21
Speaker 1: MotorCity Mike who used to call from Detroit and he
23:24
Speaker 1: said that it's the curse of the Benbino. But that
23:26
Speaker 1: was solved when the Dodgers won the hardest World Series
23:29
Speaker 1: of all time. In twenty twenty, the Clippers got to
23:31
Speaker 1: the Final Four, and the Rams won the greatest Super
23:33
Speaker 1: Bowl I've ever seen over the Cincinnati ben Gals. And
23:36
Speaker 1: so all that has been solved. The curse of the
23:39
Speaker 1: Benbino no longer exists. Supermarket Steve writes in from La
23:43
Speaker 1: La Land. He says, great monologue, Ben, the league's two
23:46
Speaker 1: soft Sorry, I have a random question. This is a
23:50
Speaker 1: non sequitur from Supermarket Steve. Are you a curly or
23:53
Speaker 1: shemp man? I think I know what side you lie on,
23:57
Speaker 1: but your answer might affect my opinion of you. Well,
24:01
Speaker 1: there's nothing more relevant in twenty twenty five, Supermarket Steve,
24:05
Speaker 1: and you are on the pulse of the people than
24:07
Speaker 1: some hot stooges talk. You clearly understand that the Three Stooges.
24:13
Speaker 4: Is that who he's asking. I thought it was like
24:15
Speaker 4: a curly fry question.
24:17
Speaker 1: The three Stuges who were active a Vudvillion Act. The
24:23
Speaker 1: a Vudvillian Act, by the way that they last performed
24:27
Speaker 1: as a group as a trio in nineteen seventy fifty
24:32
Speaker 1: five years ago. Wow, and he's asking me about the Stooges,
24:36
Speaker 1: which are timeless, and you know the answer. There's only
24:40
Speaker 1: one proper answer, Curly. That's it. And anyone that watches
24:44
Speaker 1: The Stooges and doesn't understand that Curly is the star
24:47
Speaker 1: of the show is a moron. And when I was
24:50
Speaker 1: a kid, there was no good television. The Internet didn't exist,
24:52
Speaker 1: so they used to show replays of The Stooges when
24:55
Speaker 1: I was a kid. And when I was a child,
24:57
Speaker 1: anytime I ate pancakes, I always wanted to pour batter
25:00
Speaker 1: on my brothers because that's what the Stooges would do.
25:03
Speaker 1: So I tried to copy that. Terry in England writes
25:05
Speaker 1: and he says, the problem with the penny Ben is
25:09
Speaker 1: the fingers and thumb flipping the coin. Sorry, bad strain
25:14
Speaker 1: for the NBA players. Limit to one coin flip per season.
25:17
Speaker 1: Yeah you mentioned they did. They did a coin flip
25:21
Speaker 1: and Kawhi be like, I can't you know I have
25:23
Speaker 1: my thumb. I have like a nail issue. I need
25:25
Speaker 1: to get good down to the day spa and get
25:29
Speaker 1: get the thing taking care of that, get the manny
25:31
Speaker 1: and get that done. Chip and the ques right since
25:34
Speaker 1: says A plus on the Mallard monologue. Somebody needs to
25:38
Speaker 1: remind the diva NBA players who are afraid of getting
25:41
Speaker 1: injured that one of the reasons why they are paid
25:44
Speaker 1: so much in the first place, because there is a
25:46
Speaker 1: chance they will get hurt, say risk, they get overpaid
25:50
Speaker 1: to take. Well, we don't want anyone get hurt though.
25:53
Speaker 1: Let's call the phones. Let's say hello to Jim. Who's
25:55

Speaker 1: what he said. He said that all the playoff games
26:15
Speaker 1: will be five games, except for the finals. We should
26:18
Speaker 1: be seven. Well why were we do seven? Somebody could
26:21
Speaker 1: get hurt in the in the finals? Well, we can't
26:23
Speaker 1: do seven. We don't want somebody to get hurt. What's that?
26:27
Speaker 3: You mess up your monologue? I only give you a
26:29
Speaker 3: C on your monologue. Yeah, I'm hoping you misrepresented the turd.
26:34

28:15
Speaker 1: a building over in Culver City. There's a triangle building
28:18
Speaker 1: right near here in Socow where they filmed some episodes
28:22
Speaker 1: of The Stooges, and I had to go there. I
28:26
Speaker 1: had to do some work in that building there was
28:28
Speaker 1: they were recording something. I had to I had to
28:30
Speaker 1: go there. So the whole time I was there, I
28:32
Speaker 1: was thinking. I was like, how can I find the episode?
28:34
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I couldn't find it, but I remember watching it.
28:37
Speaker 1: It's one of the very unique buildings, but I couldn't
28:39
Speaker 1: find the exact episode where they like it was a
28:41
Speaker 1: triangle building and they were running around the building. It's
28:43
Speaker 1: a really old building, but it was right next to
28:45
Speaker 1: the movie studio, which makes sense because it's like write
28:48
Speaker 1: a joint to it, so like, all right, let's just
28:50
Speaker 1: go film there because it's a cool building.
28:52

Speaker 1: have you seen this? It wasn't viral. They did a
33:15
Speaker 1: side by side of the NBA title celebrations and they
33:20
Speaker 1: compared the NBA and the NHL and the NHL guys
33:25
Speaker 1: the Florida Panthers, who just won their second consecutive championship,
33:30
Speaker 1: were like a bunch of nine year olds winning a
33:33
Speaker 1: little league title. Like they were going crazy. They were
33:36
Speaker 1: throwing their gear everywhere and they were like so excited.
33:41
Speaker 1: It's like the greatest thing in the world, right, And
33:43
Speaker 1: then the NBA guys were like, all right, let's shake
33:45
Speaker 1: some hands here. It was like just very business like,
33:49
Speaker 1: Like what happened to the pure joy? You would think
33:52
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City of all places, right, small market team with
33:56
Speaker 1: the players that aren't household names and all that, that
33:59
Speaker 1: these guys would be celebrating this great accomplishment and all that,

Speaker 1: and they didn't seem all that fired up. It's like, all,
34:05
Speaker 1: we won, you know, we we won. Well, the hockey guys,
34:09
