Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four, knocking
on the door. As we maneuver our way through our
number four, we start with a whisper from the NFL.
You're going to buy or sell one of the former
players in Pittsburgh saying Mike Tomlin is on the Steelers
(00:22):
hot seat. How do you decode JJ Watt flirting with
the Texans and a comeback to the NFL after taking
a broadcasting job. And what do you think of mic
Up Parsons struggling against some rando sumo wrestler in Japan.
We'll talk about all that. We'll take it up a
(00:43):
notch or two. Right now here it is have a
wonderful Monday and a great week here. This is the
sixth day of May. And here we go with our
number four, our number four. So you're saying there's a chance,
well come. In the beginning of another hour of the
(01:06):
Ben Mathers Show, we are in the air everywhere as friends,
as we are, strong and stable, coast stuntcoast voter, revoter
and beyond. On the vast and pleasurably powerful microphones of
fs are amminating live from the Dragon, the fire breathing
(01:31):
audio dragon as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in ten thousand recommended in stallars.
(01:52):
That is so many recommended installers that our friend from
Tyler Texas thinks that way too many tier rat But
I say it's perfect. Tire rack dot com the way
tire buying showould be, and our lead this hour from
the n FL story bouncing around out of Pittsburgh. I realized,
(02:17):
we're in early May. We're not even in the middle
part of me. We're in early May. It's the first
few days of May. Not all was quiet on the
Western Front in the Steel City. Yet again a story
bouncing around. If you didn't see this, maybe not involving
the status of the head coach of the Pittsburgh football team.
Is it true? Is it true that former Stealer offensive
(02:41):
lineman Willie Cologne thinks that the head coach there, Mike Tomlin,
is on the hot seat because of his performance in
the plus, the team's performance in the plus. And this
guy played six seasons in Western Pennsylvania. During a recent
televised rant on on FS one. He did not bite
(03:02):
his tongue, saying again that Tomlin on the hot seat.
So question buy or sell? Buy or sell? Mike Tomlin
legitimately on the Steelers hot seat. So I've got golden arches,
itchy and suck a, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
(03:25):
glutton for punishment is what we're going to make. Apparently
the bell broke, all right, So to kick off here,
I am going to sell. I'm gonna sell this. I'm
not going to buy this. I'm gonna sell. Is that now?
A couple of reasons why? All right? The main reason
is I have been burned too many times over the years.
(03:48):
If you've listened to this show, you know that I
have done many a rant about Mike Tomlin. Fire Mike Tomlin.
He's in dangerous. I have this love hate relationship with
tom I love the sound bite, right, fat and sassy
and all the different sound bites that Tomlin gives us.
It's a wonderful thing, right, you know, every whack job
that does this for a living loves those those sound bites.
(04:09):
There's few things better than Mike Tomlin. Saying something dopey
and going on and on and on, but he's not
going anywhere, right. I will believe it when I see
the Steelers introduce a new head coach and Tomlin going
and doing television. The Steelers, for better or worse, are
(04:29):
run like the Golden Arches, maintain consistency like McDonald's. Tomlin
is also like a tenured professor at one of those
college campuses with an encampment in the middle of the campus.
But you look at the recent resume and it screams change.
Tomlin has gone seven seasons without a playoff win. Forgett
(04:52):
the Super Bowl, forget the Super Bowl. Seven seasons without
a playoff win since winning the Super Bowl with as
I've been told by many people Bill Cowers players, in
twenty ten, the Steelers have played an eleven postseason games.
They're three to eight in the postseason. They've lost five
straight playoff games, garbage in, garbage out, but they're always
(05:13):
at least five hundred or better. Now Tomlin this year.
The main reason I'm not buying the chatter that Tomlin
is on the hot seed and all that. The main
reason why is because Tomlin has an ace up his sleeve,
and what is the ace in the hole? The ace
in the hole is Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Those
(05:34):
are my quarterbacks. Those are my quarterbacks. And that is
bull pucky, is what that is. And that should buy
him a little more time. Although it is true that
Mike Tomlin was there and drafted Kenny Pickett, who was
supposed to be the heir to the Roethlisberger throne, only
to see him not be able to play and be
(05:55):
sent off to Philadelphia. Now further one, we head now
to sportscaster JJ Watt. I say that in air quote
sportscaster JJ Watt, who said over the weekend that he'd
come back. He'd like to come back, but he only
wants to play for the Texans, and that's only if
Houston is desperate for him that he will be willing
(06:17):
to play. In twenty twenty four, he says, this is
the last time, this is it last chance saloon, that
JJ Watt would even consider coming back out of retirement
to play, saying over the weekend quote, I told Demko
last year, that's the coach. I said, don't call unless
you absolutely need it. But if you ever do call,
(06:39):
I'll be there. Oh, that's very nice. He said, I'll
be there, but he knows not the call unless he
absolutely needs it. So how do you decode JJ Watt
flirting with a come back to the Texans? So this
is an Okham's razor situation. The simplest answer is often
(07:00):
most often the correct one. And what realizes he's not
very good at broadcasting. He's kind of just another ex jock.
There's nothing magical about jj Watt. Is a broadcaster another
meathead on television. Diame ad doesn't. But what is also
he's getting itchy. He's getting itchy and he's got an
itch to keep playing. And that's why he's working out
(07:23):
like a beast. He's in the same workout regime that
he did when he was playing. And it's not because
he likes to look good in a banana hammock on
the beach. He's doing that because he plans to play.
So he wants the Texans coach to Meetko Ryans to
help scratch that. It just like the Itchy and Scratchy Show.
And he's clearly banking. It's obvious he's banking that CJ.
(07:44):
Stroud's going to have another year of success. That he'll
move up higher on the the ladder of success. And
now with Stefan Diggs, the ex Bill's mafia guy and
some unfinished business, that he will will get it done.
And you know, but when he was playing JJ Watt
with the Texas, they made the playoffs a lot, but
they didn't do anything. But inevitably, it is a gnty.
(08:09):
It is a guarantee that someone on the defensive front
is going to get hurt. And it's also a guarantee
that Tamiko Ryans will be calling JJ Watt, hey, how
would you like to come back and play for the
Texas And everyone will go nuts and they'll go crazy
and all that planting the seed. All right, last thing here,
we now head to Tokyo. That is where the Cowboys
(08:32):
star Micah Parsons recently tested himself. Saw this video on
viral over the weekend. Video bouncing around the pinball machine
of Micah Parsons testing himself against a sumo wrestler in
the viral moment in Japan. As we've told, Michael Parsons
part of a goodwill tour barnstorming tour of Asia alongside
(08:54):
the aforementioned CJ. Stroud, Texans quarterback Parsons match up one
on one with a unnamed sumo wrestler in Tokyo. Now,
if you didn't see the video, I'll paint the picture.
In the first attempt, the first clip of the video,
you see that Parsons is pushed outside the circle. My
limited sumo knowledge tells me that he lost that. And
(09:18):
then in the second battle the rematch, Parsons did get
his revenge, but it was not easy. So what do
you think of Micah Parsons struggling again some rando sumo
wrestler in Japan. So this is I would say eye
opening is the way I would describe this. Because on
one side you have Micah Parsons, a fine chiseled specimen
(09:44):
made out of stone, built like a Greek god. Micah
Parsons workout wonder no body shaming Micah parties. Then on
the other side you got this big fat sumo guy.
But he wasn't there are some super sized sumo and
this isn't it?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
This is like a mid size or a smaller, a
smaller version of a sumo wrestler, not a as my
friend Vic the Brick would say, not a yokozuna does
not appear to be a yokozuna based on what I saw,
And yet this guy with just a chubby, overweight body
was able to beat Micah Parsons. Think about that Parsons
(10:26):
that first round. It looked like he had been sipping
too much ski, that fermenting rice there in the first matchup,
and then in the second he's scratched in clawed and
got another lesson here. Forget about Mike Parson. That's embarrassing, right,
But yeah, whatever, fine, it's a video. People forget about it.
We move on to other things. But if you're the
NFL and you're kicking around different places trying to find players,
(10:49):
I know it's very popular to get players out of
New Zealand and Australia right now, and the Aussie rules
football people for example, popular, But why wouldn't you try,
just for s and giggles, get a sumo guy, like
a mid size sumo guy like the guy that took
on Michael Parsons and turn them into a guard or
a center where you'd or maybe a defensive player like
(11:12):
a nose tackle. Maybe it'd be better defensive tackle or
nose tackle right over over the center. But why wouldn't
you go there now, I don't know they'd want to
do it. I'm not sure how much the sumo guys
make in Tokyo. That's a very popular sport. I'm assuming
they make a lot of money. But you make a
lot of money in the NFL, So come on down.
Why not matchine the tush push stopping it? If you
(11:35):
have a sumo lined up over the center, or if
your center is a sumo and happens to be a yokozuna,
and then what do you do? How about that one?

the microphones. You can follow your host on x He's

(14:19):

Sports Radio Studios. It's Ben Mallor.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Coming up later this hour. We will have for your
enjoyment Malar Militia Feud will be coming you away a
little bit later in the hour. Malaprop Guy rights Sin
says weed Man Hippi mentioned this morning and on Friday
morning that he is in Lincoln Road in Miami. Last
year when I was working in Miami Beach, Malloprop Guy
(14:49):
says and searching for mister Hippie, I might have walked
right past him. I definitely recall being on Lincoln Road
and searching the community. Well, I'm I sure Malle pop
got there's only like one or two homeless guys in Miami,
and weed Man's one of them. So it's like finding
a needle in a haystack there. It's hard to find them.
A late night drug tester says, I couldn't get in
(15:10):
on the instant advice line, but I would have told
you don't wear angry Bill's white suit. Yeah, well, thank you,
thank you for that. Who else you have, David says,
Aunt going off and doing work on the Nuggets, and
we'll do the same to make it too nothing, timwolves
as he's calling his shot now, speaking of that, that's
(15:33):
a good lead in because tonight, on this Monday night,
we got double barrel action. Now the early game from
the Mecca Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan, right over
Penn Station. You've got the Pacers and the Knickerbockers. Now,
the Knicks opened a six and a half point favorite.
(15:54):
That is down to five and a half. The public
is pretty much split. It's almost even the public money,
but the or the tickets rather are almost even so,
the public's kind of split on this. But the wise guys,
the Sharps are all over the Pacers plus five and
a half. So they think that the Pacers are gonna
be able to hang blow for blow with Jalen Brunson
(16:14):
and the Knicks, and getting the five and a half
is the right side down the Lake game the Nuggets
and the Timberwolves. Now, this game the public, if you
look at where the public is almost even, no consensus
at all, almost fifty to fifty, just whatever. But the
wise guys, the Sharps, they're in favor heavily of the
(16:37):
Denver Nuggets, almost seventy percent. The big number, almost seventy
percent of the money is on the wise guy money's
on the Nuggets, so they are they're going that direction.
Public kind of split on that. They think the Nuggets
bounce back the wise guys and they win by more
than the five and a half point spread. Let's go
(16:58):
to the phones. We'll say all Lo, Dominican, Mike, is
he in Florida? Is he in Arizona? I don't know,

on the clippers man. I actually had high expectations with
the Clippers year.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I was, I was, I was bullish on the Clippers.
I thought that they would put some things together. But
of course I'm I'm a fool. I thought Kawhi Leonard
would actually play and and play well and all that,
and it didn't never happen.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
I tell you what, I wish I could identify as
Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
You know, if we should all we should all try

mistake or something.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Yeah, he never no, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I thought he was gonna say that his yuke was
stolen out of his car.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, or it damaged it the sunlight or something, I thought,
But he never said, didn't neber that said he just
went and changed it and got more money or something,
or more instruments or better instrument. Yeah, it's very bizarre,
like he led us down the garden path. But then
did not is an odd thing.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What he did very very be sure to catch live
editions of The Ben Meller Show weekday, said two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Back to that Dodger has went over the Braves mentioned
show Tany hitting a couple of Homer's numbers nine and
ten on the season and apparently, uh.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
He passed Dave Roberts on a list.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Now he also broke a tie with was it hit
Deecki Matt Suey for the all time home run lead
for a Japanese born player. Apparently Dave Roberts technically had
the most home runs by a Japanese born player with
the Dodgers, he had like seven or something like that.
So Dave Roberts joked that maybe you know, show Hey
would get him a gift for breaking his record, and
(25:26):
he suggested a new car. And apparently show Tony did
in fact give Dave Roberts a new car, a toy car,
a little little toy Porsche that Dave Roberts showed off.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
To the We gave Joe Kelly an actual car for
his number. Yeah, yeah, you Porsch Real four.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Well, maybe that's what he was hoping to get but
he well, he did get a Porsche, but it was just.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
A why doesn't someone get hired here at Fox Sports
rad I'll give him my number and then I can
get a car.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
What is your number? I didn't know what your number is.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Number on. Come on, that was obvious. He set me
up for that, he did. Yeah, well, I haven't done
it all night, Eddie, but I you know, hit that button, Lorraine,
hit the butt, come on. Fun fact, this is random.
Over the weekend, a guy named Max Munsey that's a
baseball player for the Los Angeles baseball team in the
(26:16):
National League, hit three home runs against the Atlanta Braves.
If you go back the last eight years, there have
only been four players to hit three home runs against
the Atlanta Braves. All four of them have been wearing
a Dodger uniform while they did it, not the Mets,
not the Phillies, not the Cincinnati Reds, the Dodgers, not
(26:37):
the Nationals. Max Munsey on Saturday, I was actually at
that game. Chris Taylor a couple of years back, Justin
Turner now playing I think in Toronto, and Corey Seeger.

(38:57):
Aloha
Hello and welcome. It's our number four, our four, knocking
on the door. As we maneuver our way through our
number four, we start with a whisper from the NFL.
You're going to buy or sell one of the former
players in Pittsburgh saying Mike Tomlin is on the Steelers
(00:22):
hot seat. How do you decode JJ Watt flirting with
the Texans and a comeback to the NFL after taking
a broadcasting job. And what do you think of mic
Up Parsons struggling against some rando sumo wrestler in Japan.
We'll talk about all that. We'll take it up a
(00:43):
notch or two. Right now here it is have a
wonderful Monday and a great week here. This is the
sixth day of May. And here we go with our
number four, our number four. So you're saying there's a chance,
well come. In the beginning of another hour of the
(01:06):
Ben Mathers Show, we are in the air everywhere as friends,
as we are, strong and stable, coast stuntcoast voter, revoter
and beyond. On the vast and pleasurably powerful microphones of
fs are amminating live from the Dragon, the fire breathing
(01:31):
audio dragon as we are broadcasting live from the tyraq
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection,
and over ten thousand recommended in ten thousand recommended in stallars.
(01:52):
That is so many recommended installers that our friend from
Tyler Texas thinks that way too many tier rat But
I say it's perfect. Tire rack dot com the way
tire buying showould be, and our lead this hour from
the n FL story bouncing around out of Pittsburgh. I realized,
(02:17):
we're in early May. We're not even in the middle
part of me. We're in early May. It's the first
few days of May. Not all was quiet on the
Western Front in the Steel City. Yet again a story
bouncing around. If you didn't see this, maybe not involving
the status of the head coach of the Pittsburgh football team.
Is it true? Is it true that former Stealer offensive
(02:41):
lineman Willie Cologne thinks that the head coach there, Mike Tomlin,
is on the hot seat because of his performance in
the plus, the team's performance in the plus. And this
guy played six seasons in Western Pennsylvania. During a recent
televised rant on on FS one. He did not bite
(03:02):
his tongue, saying again that Tomlin on the hot seat.
So question buy or sell? Buy or sell? Mike Tomlin
legitimately on the Steelers hot seat. So I've got golden arches,
itchy and suck a, and we will combine all of
these things together, and we are going to make a
(03:25):
glutton for punishment is what we're going to make. Apparently
the bell broke, all right, So to kick off here,
I am going to sell. I'm gonna sell this. I'm
not going to buy this. I'm gonna sell. Is that now?
A couple of reasons why? All right? The main reason
is I have been burned too many times over the years.
(03:48):
If you've listened to this show, you know that I
have done many a rant about Mike Tomlin. Fire Mike Tomlin.
He's in dangerous. I have this love hate relationship with
tom I love the sound bite, right, fat and sassy
and all the different sound bites that Tomlin gives us.
It's a wonderful thing, right, you know, every whack job
that does this for a living loves those those sound bites.
(04:09):
There's few things better than Mike Tomlin. Saying something dopey
and going on and on and on, but he's not
going anywhere, right. I will believe it when I see
the Steelers introduce a new head coach and Tomlin going
and doing television. The Steelers, for better or worse, are
(04:29):
run like the Golden Arches, maintain consistency like McDonald's. Tomlin
is also like a tenured professor at one of those
college campuses with an encampment in the middle of the campus.
But you look at the recent resume and it screams change.
Tomlin has gone seven seasons without a playoff win. Forgett
(04:52):
the Super Bowl, forget the Super Bowl. Seven seasons without
a playoff win since winning the Super Bowl with as
I've been told by many people Bill Cowers players, in
twenty ten, the Steelers have played an eleven postseason games.
They're three to eight in the postseason. They've lost five
straight playoff games, garbage in, garbage out, but they're always
(05:13):
at least five hundred or better. Now Tomlin this year.
The main reason I'm not buying the chatter that Tomlin
is on the hot seed and all that. The main
reason why is because Tomlin has an ace up his sleeve,
and what is the ace in the hole? The ace
in the hole is Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Those
(05:34):
are my quarterbacks. Those are my quarterbacks. And that is
bull pucky, is what that is. And that should buy
him a little more time. Although it is true that
Mike Tomlin was there and drafted Kenny Pickett, who was
supposed to be the heir to the Roethlisberger throne, only
to see him not be able to play and be
(05:55):
sent off to Philadelphia. Now further one, we head now
to sportscaster JJ Watt. I say that in air quote
sportscaster JJ Watt, who said over the weekend that he'd
come back. He'd like to come back, but he only
wants to play for the Texans, and that's only if
Houston is desperate for him that he will be willing
(06:17):
to play. In twenty twenty four, he says, this is
the last time, this is it last chance saloon, that
JJ Watt would even consider coming back out of retirement
to play, saying over the weekend quote, I told Demko
last year, that's the coach. I said, don't call unless
you absolutely need it. But if you ever do call,
(06:39):
I'll be there. Oh, that's very nice. He said, I'll
be there, but he knows not the call unless he
absolutely needs it. So how do you decode JJ Watt
flirting with a come back to the Texans? So this
is an Okham's razor situation. The simplest answer is often
(07:00):
most often the correct one. And what realizes he's not
very good at broadcasting. He's kind of just another ex jock.
There's nothing magical about jj Watt. Is a broadcaster another
meathead on television. Diame ad doesn't. But what is also
he's getting itchy. He's getting itchy and he's got an
itch to keep playing. And that's why he's working out
(07:23):
like a beast. He's in the same workout regime that
he did when he was playing. And it's not because
he likes to look good in a banana hammock on
the beach. He's doing that because he plans to play.
So he wants the Texans coach to Meetko Ryans to
help scratch that. It just like the Itchy and Scratchy Show.
And he's clearly banking. It's obvious he's banking that CJ.
(07:44):
Stroud's going to have another year of success. That he'll
move up higher on the the ladder of success. And
now with Stefan Diggs, the ex Bill's mafia guy and
some unfinished business, that he will will get it done.
And you know, but when he was playing JJ Watt
with the Texas, they made the playoffs a lot, but
they didn't do anything. But inevitably, it is a gnty.
(08:09):
It is a guarantee that someone on the defensive front
is going to get hurt. And it's also a guarantee
that Tamiko Ryans will be calling JJ Watt, hey, how
would you like to come back and play for the
Texas And everyone will go nuts and they'll go crazy
and all that planting the seed. All right, last thing here,
we now head to Tokyo. That is where the Cowboys
(08:32):
star Micah Parsons recently tested himself. Saw this video on
viral over the weekend. Video bouncing around the pinball machine
of Micah Parsons testing himself against a sumo wrestler in
the viral moment in Japan. As we've told, Michael Parsons
part of a goodwill tour barnstorming tour of Asia alongside
(08:54):
the aforementioned CJ. Stroud, Texans quarterback Parsons match up one
on one with a unnamed sumo wrestler in Tokyo. Now,
if you didn't see the video, I'll paint the picture.
In the first attempt, the first clip of the video,
you see that Parsons is pushed outside the circle. My
limited sumo knowledge tells me that he lost that. And
(09:18):
then in the second battle the rematch, Parsons did get
his revenge, but it was not easy. So what do
you think of Micah Parsons struggling again some rando sumo
wrestler in Japan. So this is I would say eye
opening is the way I would describe this. Because on
one side you have Micah Parsons, a fine chiseled specimen
(09:44):
made out of stone, built like a Greek god. Micah
Parsons workout wonder no body shaming Micah parties. Then on
the other side you got this big fat sumo guy.
But he wasn't there are some super sized sumo and
this isn't it?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
This is like a mid size or a smaller, a
smaller version of a sumo wrestler, not a as my
friend Vic the Brick would say, not a yokozuna does
not appear to be a yokozuna based on what I saw,
And yet this guy with just a chubby, overweight body
was able to beat Micah Parsons. Think about that Parsons
(10:26):
that first round. It looked like he had been sipping
too much ski, that fermenting rice there in the first matchup,
and then in the second he's scratched in clawed and
got another lesson here. Forget about Mike Parson. That's embarrassing, right,
But yeah, whatever, fine, it's a video. People forget about it.
We move on to other things. But if you're the
NFL and you're kicking around different places trying to find players,
(10:49):
I know it's very popular to get players out of
New Zealand and Australia right now, and the Aussie rules
football people for example, popular, But why wouldn't you try,
just for s and giggles, get a sumo guy, like
a mid size sumo guy like the guy that took
on Michael Parsons and turn them into a guard or
a center where you'd or maybe a defensive player like
(11:12):
a nose tackle. Maybe it'd be better defensive tackle or
nose tackle right over over the center. But why wouldn't
you go there now, I don't know they'd want to
do it. I'm not sure how much the sumo guys
make in Tokyo. That's a very popular sport. I'm assuming
they make a lot of money. But you make a
lot of money in the NFL, So come on down.
Why not matchine the tush push stopping it? If you
(11:35):
have a sumo lined up over the center, or if
your center is a sumo and happens to be a yokozuna,
and then what do you do? How about that one?
It is the Ben Mahler Show. If you'd like to

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Coming up later this hour. We will have for your
enjoyment Malar Militia Feud will be coming you away a
little bit later in the hour. Malaprop Guy rights Sin
says weed Man Hippi mentioned this morning and on Friday
morning that he is in Lincoln Road in Miami. Last
year when I was working in Miami Beach, Malloprop Guy
(14:49):
says and searching for mister Hippie, I might have walked
right past him. I definitely recall being on Lincoln Road
and searching the community. Well, I'm I sure Malle pop
got there's only like one or two homeless guys in Miami,
and weed Man's one of them. So it's like finding
a needle in a haystack there. It's hard to find them.
A late night drug tester says, I couldn't get in
(15:10):
on the instant advice line, but I would have told
you don't wear angry Bill's white suit. Yeah, well, thank you,
thank you for that. Who else you have, David says,
Aunt going off and doing work on the Nuggets, and
we'll do the same to make it too nothing, timwolves
as he's calling his shot now, speaking of that, that's
(15:33):
a good lead in because tonight, on this Monday night,
we got double barrel action. Now the early game from
the Mecca Madison Square Garden in midtown Manhattan, right over
Penn Station. You've got the Pacers and the Knickerbockers. Now,
the Knicks opened a six and a half point favorite.
(15:54):
That is down to five and a half. The public
is pretty much split. It's almost even the public money,
but the or the tickets rather are almost even so,
the public's kind of split on this. But the wise guys,
the Sharps are all over the Pacers plus five and
a half. So they think that the Pacers are gonna
be able to hang blow for blow with Jalen Brunson
(16:14):
and the Knicks, and getting the five and a half
is the right side down the Lake game the Nuggets
and the Timberwolves. Now, this game the public, if you
look at where the public is almost even, no consensus
at all, almost fifty to fifty, just whatever. But the
wise guys, the Sharps, they're in favor heavily of the
(16:37):
Denver Nuggets, almost seventy percent. The big number, almost seventy
percent of the money is on the wise guy money's
on the Nuggets, so they are they're going that direction.
Public kind of split on that. They think the Nuggets
bounce back the wise guys and they win by more
than the five and a half point spread. Let's go
(16:58):
to the phones. We'll say all Lo, Dominican, Mike, is

Speaker 6 (18:06):
You know, but uh, Ben, two things one about with

the Clippers year.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I was, I was, I was bullish on the Clippers.
I thought that they would put some things together. But
of course I'm I'm a fool. I thought Kawhi Leonard
would actually play and and play well and all that,
and it didn't never happen.

Bye bye, there you go.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Date.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
I heard him say, I said, you and Eddie, and
then he said some other name I wasn't really familiar with.
Did you did you catch.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
Go with it? I just kind of listening to just
to just go with it, just agree with him, the
beauty of Dick and day, to go with it. And
then he told the story about how he made a
mistake or something.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Yeah, he never no, he didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I thought he was gonna say that his yuke was
stolen out of his car.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, or it damaged it the sunlight or something, I thought,
But he never said, didn't neber that said he just
went and changed it and got more money or something,
or more instruments or better instrument. Yeah, it's very bizarre,
like he led us down the garden path. But then
did not is an odd thing.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
What he did very very be sure to catch live
editions of The Ben Meller Show weekday, said two am
Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
Back to that Dodger has went over the Braves mentioned
show Tany hitting a couple of Homer's numbers nine and
ten on the season and apparently, uh.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
He passed Dave Roberts on a list.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
Now he also broke a tie with was it hit
Deecki Matt Suey for the all time home run lead
for a Japanese born player. Apparently Dave Roberts technically had
the most home runs by a Japanese born player with
the Dodgers, he had like seven or something like that.
So Dave Roberts joked that maybe you know, show Hey
would get him a gift for breaking his record, and
(25:26):
he suggested a new car. And apparently show Tony did
in fact give Dave Roberts a new car, a toy car,
a little little toy Porsche that Dave Roberts showed off.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
To the We gave Joe Kelly an actual car for
his number. Yeah, yeah, you Porsch Real four.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Well, maybe that's what he was hoping to get but
he well, he did get a Porsche, but it was just.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
A why doesn't someone get hired here at Fox Sports
rad I'll give him my number and then I can
get a car.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
What is your number? I didn't know what your number is.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Number on. Come on, that was obvious. He set me
up for that, he did. Yeah, well, I haven't done
it all night, Eddie, but I you know, hit that button, Lorraine,
hit the butt, come on. Fun fact, this is random.
Over the weekend, a guy named Max Munsey that's a
baseball player for the Los Angeles baseball team in the
(26:16):
National League, hit three home runs against the Atlanta Braves.
If you go back the last eight years, there have
only been four players to hit three home runs against
the Atlanta Braves. All four of them have been wearing
a Dodger uniform while they did it, not the Mets,
not the Phillies, not the Cincinnati Reds, the Dodgers, not
(26:37):
the Nationals. Max Munsey on Saturday, I was actually at
that game. Chris Taylor a couple of years back, Justin
Turner now playing I think in Toronto, and Corey Seeger.
But they all did it as Dodgers. So three home
runs if you're gonna hit those against the Atlanta Braves,
You're most likely gonna do it as a Dodger. Let's
(26:58):
go back to the phones. We'll say hello to Mars
in Brooklyn. Hello Marcell, starting the new.
