3:02most entertaining NBA broadcast all year. How did the NBC throw back NBA broadcast work for you as Bob Costis and Doug Collins, the czar of the illustrator, Mike Fertello, all join forces yet again. We'll discuss what it was like to watch that game. Also Laker's podcast coach J.J. Reddick says that he's good with Luke Adoncich and that they have a great relationship. Despite getting into a sideline tiff, the other day, how do you see that one? And in baseball, just jerks and pro far, great being one of the biggest knuckleheads in recent baseball history.

I'm going to assume that you do pay somewhat close attention to the show. We do a nightly show here. We do a nightly show and the podcast on the weekends.

6:06As I'm getting ready for the show, I normally have a game on in the background. Keep an eye out. Not necessarily watching it. It's just kind of background noise. And occasionally I'll look up if something exciting happens. And if it's a really good game, I'll pay really good attention to it. Play off games and things like that. But typically during the week, slim pickings. So I bring this up. It is pro bouncy ball. So Wembee, the Parisian prodigy, Victor Wemba Nyama, and the Spurs continued their rodeo trip. I think this is like the end of it, I believe. So they were in Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley to take on the 76ers. And that was a game that really wasn't much of a game. You see the Spurs San Antonio never trailed in the game. It led by as many as 49, 49 point lead at one point, ended up winning by close to that, blowing the doors off, curfewi to the team from Philadelphia.

7:08So why are we mentioning this game? Why was this game the coolest NBA game of the entire season? What made this night different than all other nights? Do you know? Maybe not, maybe not. So this was the vintage broadcast of the NBA. And we mentioned this in a previous episode of the show. And there it was. Caught our attention. I didn't have the game on mute. I had the sound up. I normally mute it because the announcer's annoying me. But I had the audio going. I was enjoying this. It was Bob Costas and Doug Collins and Mike Fertella. The headliners on the NBA on NBC throwback broadcast. Throwback broadcast. Did you watch any of this? No. Bad job by you. You should have watched it. All right. So that is a good jumping off point.

8:08Let us discuss the question. How did the NBA on NBC throwback broadcast work for you? How did it work for you? So I've got porn hub, electromagnetic, and super big gulp. And we will combine all of these things together and we are going to snap our fingers. Is what we're going to do. Because I felt like snapping my fingers. Like, what is going on here? Have I flashed back 30 years? Like, seriously? This game was a blowout. 49 point lead at one point for this purse. And yet that game was fantabulous. Fantabulous. It was extra schmaltz. See, I don't normally like schmaltz. But it was, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the schmaltz. I did. It was a trip down Glory Road. It was what it was. And it wasn't for people under the age of 30, or even 35, I would say.

9:08But X marks the spot. Gen X and above. The boomers. Anyone in the older demo, man, was that good. Jack pot. Jack pot on the broadcast. It should have been sponsored. I was texting a buddy in my eye. I was also watching the game. I said, this should be sponsored by Pornhub. And my buddy texted, I said, no, no. It should be sponsored by Pornhub because it's pure uncut sports nostalgia porn. That broadcast was nothing but sports nostalgia porn. That's what that was, right? NBC, they might as well have rolled out the DeLorean. I know that was from the 80s. But roll out the DeLorean, right? Back to the future. They made some back to the future movies in the 90s too. Crank that baby up to 88 miles an hour. And suddenly, it's 1996 again. Yeah. And then to add on to the night,

10:09things lining up in a row. The great Steve DeSager came into where I was hiding out in the back here. Down, down this, you go out the door to my right. You go down a little hall, make a right. You then make a left, go down a long hall. Then you have to make another left. And then, and then go down to the end of that. And then you make a little left. And then there's a room in the back. And that's where I hang out. And DeSager comes in there. And he hands me a photo that I, that me and him took together in the dugout at Dodger Stadium playing an immediate baseball game. I said, what year is that? 1996. Holy crap. 30 years ago. And I said, my God, unbelievable. But listen, this thing was amazing. I loved it. You know, I hate everything. As a talk show host, I'm my default programming is to hate everything. And there I was. I've become the old guy. And I watched older geezers, like Bob Cossess and Doug Collins and Mike Vertello,

11:10the frickin' czar of the illustrator. And even Jim Gray, who I just had on the podcast, he's a listener. Jim, who was at the Super Bowl radio row. He came by, said hello. He was there, court side. As always, like the nosy neighbor with a microphone and all that. And they even had the pre-game, they had a storm. She showed it. Where's she been? I don't know. Isaiah Thomas. Isaiah seemed a little annoyed. Because he still does broadcasting for NBA TV. I think he felt a little annoyed that he was on the old timer's broadcast. Like, I'm not. I shouldn't be here. I'm better than an old timer. And then you had PJ Carlisomal, who's, I just checked. He just turned 1200 years old. And the good news is that Trell Sprewell was not anywhere to be seen. So PJ was, was okay. So it was like opening up a time capsule watching this game that had been buried underneath what used to be a blockbuster video. And it was right next to a Toys R Us, you know, and all that. And there was a radio track in that same thing.

12:12It was like, wow, that's pretty cool. I enjoyed it. The presentation was solid. They really killed it. Brown ball rock, which they've had this, they bought the rights to an NBC. So they had that. The John Tess song was blasting out of the boom box. There was, there was a lot of that. They had the retro score bug. The grainy highlight packages. It was a dusting off your, you know, whatever your old toys are. The Furby, what a nightmare. So it was old 90s toys. Mr. Potato Head on it. I was, I was all grown up in the 90s. I don't know what toys you had. Stretch Armstrong. That was before that, I guess. Anyway, the game itself, the game itself, dog food. Not all pro, Alpo. Alpo. That was the game. The broadcast, cordon blue, chef's kiss, chef's kiss, blue ribbon, blue ribbon for the broadcast of the NBA on NBC. They killed it.

13:13And here's the thing. Like NBC knows this. And they really leaned into it. And it's something that a lot of people don't want to talk about. Because it's really troublesome for the sports industry. Like it's the doomsday prophecies for the, the world of sports. Like I grew up, I'm on the edge. The sports were a very big deal for me, obviously, growing up, right? Watching games, playing in the neighborhood with kids and stuff like that. We had great memories of that doing that. That's not the way obviously it is anymore. And I know from doing the TV show for a couple of years and talking to people who are executives on that end, that the feedback I've gotten, they've told me, say, listen, most of the people that are watching these games on television are middle-aged and older. Young people don't sit down and watch games on television. Most of them don't. And they just watch highlights on TikTok or Instagram or whatever. They're not sitting down there and watching games. So they should do more of this. They will see what the, I can't believe the ratings are going to be good.

14:13The game was terrible. But for middle-aged degenerates, it was amazing. It was like, wow, this is great. Loved it. Didn't want the night to end. You know, I did learn during the broadcast. They, Bob Costas said they wanted Marvel to do the game. Apparently, Marvel can't do it. I guess he might have some health problems. I don't know what's going on with Marvel. But they originally wanted Marvel to do it. I didn't hear any mention of Pete Vessie. Very better Pete Vessie. Didn't mention his, I didn't hear it. If it did happen, I didn't hear it. Maybe I was getting snacks. I might have been getting snacks. Well, that was going on. But I didn't hear his name come up. He had complained that he wasn't part of the broadcast as well. So they, good job. They fed the right crowd. And we'll see if they do, I guess they're going to do another one, at least one more before the season ends. All right. Now, secondly, follow up, follow up controversy of the week, controversy of the week, date line, Skid Row. That's where the Lakers play Skid Row L.A. And more on that viral heated exchange as Lakers star,

15:13Luca, Luca Dachik. And podcaster JJ Reddick getting into a kerfluffle during a recent game. Now, this is, of course, sparked questions. This viral kerfluffle. It is sparked questions about the relationship. What's really going on there? So JJ Reddick before the Lakers played a team called the Pelicans. How pathetic is that? Pelicans. My God. So JJ Reddick was asked about the incident. Now, do you think a JJ Reddick said, yes, I can't stand Luca. And he hates me. Do you think he said be no comment or see claim we're all good. We're all good. All right. So I'm told this is like, let's play a little bit of this. And then if I get bored with it, I'll give you the parts that I like. But here is the podcaster who's pretending to be doing cosplay as an NBA coach.

16:13JJ Reddick. Yeah, I didn't think much of it at the time to be honest with you. I don't think Luca did either. He and I have a great relationship. I really value our relationship. And I take those things happen. You know, not every game, but they happen very frequently. And, you know, sometimes you have to rehash them with a player or, you know, as a teammate, sometimes it happens player to player. It's, it's a competition. And, you know, there's two guys here who in this case are trying to win a basketball game. And be on the same page about stuff. And frankly, like, you know, I talked about that. Okay. That's enough. That's enough. Now, if you listen, there was a tell him that that exposed JJ Reddick. And I don't know if you're in the key parts of that are reddick. You heard it. He said, we have a great relationship. And it's just competition. So the question, the Laker podcaster, who's pretending to be the coach,

17:19because he's buddies with LeBron, JJ Reddick says that again, he's good with Luca. And they have a great relationship. So, so how do you see it? All right. So this is obviously a DC situation, not DC comics, a damaged control situation. But there was something in the speech pattern of JJ Reddick. That was a dead giveaway, dead giveaway. JJ kept saying the words, you know. And that is a little glitch when you say the words, you know, when people say that, it's often because they don't know what they're talking about or they're making something up because they're lying and they're trying to remember what to say. I'm telling you, if you know what you're saying, you don't say, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know, you know. Just like, yeah, but yeah, but the rabbit rabbit, you know, you know, you know, got to go, you know, got to go.

18:22Yeah. So he's out there saying, Reddick, hey, everything's great here with Luca. We're all good here to quote Shakespeare. I like just making quotes up from Shakespeare because you can do anything. Shakespeare saying the fellow death protest too much, me thinks, right? Me thinks he argues far beyond what the moment required. So the giveaway was the, you know, that was the giveaway. The purple and gold in general. And I saw this from some other stories that were bouncing around as I was getting ready for the talk show. The, what I call purple and gold, electromagnetic force field that was activated. I found it nauseating. You can tell that there isn't something more going on unless you can tell there's something more going on. It's called underlying tension, underlying tension.

19:25Like Luca basically showed up the head coach of the Lakers on the court during a game on camera, candid camera. And there's no other way to interpret that. There's no other way to interpret that. These guys know that the camera's always on them. It showed a complete lack of respect for the coach. And I'm not sitting here saying that reddick deserves respect. He didn't deserve to be the head coach of the Lakers. It's a joke. He got the job. It's an embarrassment for all coaches. Total fraud, JJ Reddick. And he's proven to be a terrible head coach. With the talent they have, they're not very good. They're not a serious championship level team. But that aside, the rules have always been you can yell, scream and shout at your coach. You just do it behind closed doors. The fact that this went public, that cranks it up a couple of notches. They're at loggerheads during the game.

20:27Was it Jared Vanderbilt had to come over and be the peacemaker? I believe it was him. I believe it was him. So doing it on camera. That's the tell. That is absolutely tells. And there's PR garbage. Little Lakers leaking to their useful idiots circling the wagons and leaking to their useful idiots in the media. Everything's great here. Nothing to see. I'm not buying it for a second. Meanwhile, we go to baseball. And if you have Jerkson pro far on your fantasy baseball team, you are a loser. They had a lot of brave said bye bye to Jerkson pro far. After Major League Baseball handed him a 162 game suspension. He's a PED cheat. According to Major League Baseball, a prepared statement was released. Pro far tested positive for a testosterone-laced substance. A performance enhancing substance according to these scientists at Major League Baseball.

21:31And based on the fact that this is his second violation, he is going to forfeit his salary this year. You can buy this with the previous punishment and Jerkson pro far will have lost over 20 million dollars. 20 million dollars doing the steroids. Question. Does Atlanta brave, soon to be former Atlanta brave, outfielder Jerkson pro far regret being one of the biggest knuckleheads in recent MLB history? So I have an unpopular opinion. I'm shaking my head no unpopular opinion. I do not believe if you gave Jerkson pro far trussorum, he would say, oh, I made a mistake. I don't believe it. Now the mistake was getting caught, but in terms of regrets, I don't think so. And a lot of people hate hearing that.

22:32The answers, the answers, no, he does not have any regrets. Here's why. This was a fraud play from the very beginning. If you're dabbling in fraud, then why would you be upset that it went the way you knew that was a risk going in? The old pump and dump scheme, if you will. The baseball edition, Ponzi. Not Ponzi, the Ponzi scheme there. And think of it like the Bernie made off playbook, if you will. You look at the timeline. Not sure. Look at the time. So for years, Jerkson pro far was a fringe light hitting baseball player. Not a terrible player, but not a great player. Just kind of a guy that was the 24, 25th guy on your roster, and you'd play him at different positions and all that. And then in 2023, he batted 240 with nine home runs. And getting paid by baseball standards, not a lot, $2.5 million in baseball is not that much.

23:36He looked at the timeline, looked at his age. He said, wait a minute, I can get one more contract. I start putting up cartoon numbers. One more contract. Okay. Put up cartoon numbers. Poof. All of a sudden, he goes down to get the super big gulp. And he gets that gym juice flavor of the super big gulp. Turns into the incredible heart. Hulk for one year. One year, Jerkson pro far was the incredible Hulk. Has a big year? I think he was a silver slugger, believe he was. And from life support to come boom. All of a sudden, performance spike numbers explode. The Atlanta Braves are all hot and heavy. They handed him a $42 million contract to come to Georgia. Like they were writing money to a Nigerian prince that sent them email asking for money. Just give me your bank account info and I'm going to wire you $11,000,000. Okay. Sure. Why not?

24:36Now, even after the suspension, even after the suspension, which is going to cost him $20.8 million, Jerkson pro far still nets about $21 million extra based on malar math accounting. So why would you ever? You were going to maybe get one more small contract a year to year contract. You went out. I don't know whether he went to a pharmacy in Tijuana or wherever. Some guy named Hank gave him Hank and Tokyo gave him a bunch of stuff. But he went out there and the Atlanta Braves got grifted. Atlanta bought the fake Rolex. They bought the fake Rolex at full price. They did. It is the Ben Mallor Show. If you'd like to be part, you can join us right now. Say hello at 877 99 on Fox.

It's the Malar riddle of the day. Team Great Britain in the upcoming world baseball classic. The only participant in that event to have a blank.

33:55A crumpet eating competition. A crumpet eating competition. Is that correct? No. The correct answer would be a team painter. And a painter that paints an artist. Yeah. An actual, that has a canvas. And like Bob Ross on PBS back in the day, he paints photos of the stadium while the game's going on. That's really cool. I guess so. Yeah. That's called old tech. It's called old tech. Painting. You know, not new tech. Old tech. Yeah. All right. We'll take some. Actually, what? I think we better get to the game. Yes, it's time for the game. We get right to the bad Malar game. We've endured too many of these. Is it too much? Or not enough? Enough already. I'm a man who answered the call to play the game and got in because we cleared a line out. Lucky. Hello. Lucky. What's up, man? How you doing tonight, man? Lucky in San Francisco. How's life treating you? Lucky is the fog over your head right now.

34:55Oh, yes. It's beautiful, man. I love it. Man, nice and cool. And the night is clear. I love it. Nice. All right. Did you grow up there? Are you from there or are you from somewhere else? Yeah. I grew up in San Francisco. Native. Local Native, man. That's your land. You love it. It's absolutely. No. What's the coolest thing about living in San Francisco? The coolest thing is the grass and the grass. Oh. I hear you, man. I hear you. All right. So before the rest of the country picked up on the grass, you were ahead of your time there in San Francisco, I would say. But yes. All right. Well, good luck to you. Lucky. And we're going to play the game too much or not enough. Have you ever heard the game too much or not enough? Yes, I have. Okay. All right. It's pretty simple, right? We had this guy, hollering James, who was fast asleep and he won the game. So it's not that hard. Question. I like hollering. You want to say hello to him? All right. Let me see if I'll make that happen for you. James, James, are you there hollering James?

35:59James? Hmm. I don't hear him snoring. Let's see here. Hold on. He's on line one. James? Something moving. He's moving around. Where is that looking? James? No, he's not answering. I'm sorry. He's there. Lucky. I don't know what happened. I don't know what. What's going on? He's there later. Who knows? Question number one. The arrow's on a wildcat. Have one eight games this season against top 25 ranked opponents. Men's college basketball. Is that too much or not enough? Lucky. Not enough. Let's find out. That is right. Good job. You're one and only. You got three right to win the game. Not enough. They have 10 wins against top 25 opponents this year. That is the most against ranked opponents by a big 12 team. All time. Okay. Question number two. Anthony Edwards and Edwards of your Minnesota Timberwolves.

37:02Just tied Luca for the most 40 point games this season with his 11th 40 point game. Is that too much or not enough? Too much. Okay. Let's see. Lucky again. Yeah. A guy named Lucky. You got to get too right. You got too right. You have to a great start. Good job. You're lucky. All right. Go, let's go. Who gave you the nickname Lucky? I'm actually not a nickname. It's not a nickname. Really? That's awesome. Your parents name you look. That's great. Yeah. It's a good reason behind it. Okay. All right. Well, that's awesome, man. That's very cool. All right. Question. Too much is the answer. Anthony Edwards and Luca are tied with 940 point games. Question number three. For a man who legally is named Lucky. Legally, this man's name is Lucky. All right. There are only seven players in NFL history with more seasons of 13 plus sacks than Trey Hendrickson, who the Bengals decided not to franchise tag.

38:04Is that too much or not enough? Not enough. Are you sure about that? I'm not sure, but I'm going to go with it. All right. Look, man. Ah, the luck ran out. Not too much. That's all right. You still got two, right? There was more questions. There are only five. Only five players in NFL history with more seasons of 13 and more sacks. The sack rules only been around since 1982. It's been a while now. But TJ Watt, Kevin Green, Miles Garrett, Bruce Smith, and the great minister of defense, Reggie White. All right. Question number four. One more right. You win the game here, Lucky. Here we go. Let's go. Let's go. Carl Anthony Towns leads the NBA with 35 double doubles this season. Is that too much or not enough? Yes, too much. Are you sure about that? Yeah, because Kat is garbage.

39:04That's too much. No, Kat's garbage. Let's find out. Oh, man. The luck's running out here. 42, believe it or not. 42 double doubles. I do agree with you on a playoff game. I would not want Carl Anthony Towns on my team. You know what I'm saying, Lucky? Yeah, exactly. All right. Come on, Lucky. You can do it. You can do it. Lucky. Lucky. Give it right to let's go. Okay. I think I printed out the wrong copy for you. Yes, you did. You know what? What's question five? Oops. I have a repeat question. That is correct. Which I would, I think he would get right this time if I gave it to him. I would hope. Yes. Okay. The correct question is, Jameer Gibbs and Dave Montgomery scored 65 total touchdowns in games together. Is that too much or not enough? You said Jameer and... Who? And Montgomery, the... David Montgomery. Who just got traded? He got traded with the text. Yeah. That's too much.
