Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome to our number one, our one
of the original recipe podcast. We stayed up all night
giving you fresh, piping hot audio content that you can
listen to on demand. Now most people listen in the morning,
but you can listen whenever. A lot of people like
to go back and listen to old podcasts to make
(00:21):
me look like a donkey. But here in our number one,
the NBA Finals peekaboo, how do you decode Lebron James
not playing in the NBA Finals, But how do you
decode Lebron James a very emotional comment about watching Kyrie
Irving in the NBA Finals. We'll discuss that. Is it
true that Jason Tatum has more to lose than Jalen Brown,
(00:44):
Luka Doncik and Kyrie Irving in these NBA Finals. Also,
Christaps porzingis he's back, That's what we're hearing. Returning to
the Celtics roster for the NBA Finals. What is your
reaction to the unicorn coming back. We'll talk about all
of that and who knows what else. It's a new
(01:05):
B night, all right, for the New Bnight that means
all new calls. You give us two minutes we'll give
you a headache and a new caller unless we don't.
But here it is our number one.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Broken hearted Welcome in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywheres
we howl at the moon and speak our mind coast,
the coast, border, the border, and beyond all the best
(01:40):
and mighty powerful microphones of FSR EMM neating live from
the rocket the rocket ship as we take off. We're
broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars. Almost as many email complaints I got
for mentioning the WNBA. But I'm not gonna do that anymore.
I learned my lesson, that's all Eddie. Eddie's the WNBA guy.
(02:16):
By the way, tire rack dot com the way tire buying.
Should I say, should be and are lead this hour
from the NBA Finals just say, well, there's no game.
Get what are you doing? You can't talk about the
NBA Finals. There's no game. And while that is true,
it was no game played. The Mavericks did get on
(02:40):
a big bird. They flew into the Commonwealth. The travel
day so exciting, which means you fly out on Tuesday.
Wednesday you are serenaded by the assembled media, and then
on Thursday you play no games till tomorrow. This are
(03:00):
our Wednesday show and then boom Thursday night. It's on
like Donkey Kong. And so with zero action, Lebron James
has entered the chat trying to fill the void. We
thank Lebron for that. He's feeding the content plate and
we think that's important. You still have to do the show,
whether they play games or not. We do the show.
(03:20):
We don't have load management here. We don't take random
nights off. We talk every fing night, every bleeping night.
We are here talk talk talk talk, talk, talk talk.
So if you didn't hear and maybe not speaking on
his fledgling podcast with his soon to be head coach,
(03:43):
what an embarrassment, oh, Lebron. Lebron discussed Kyrie Irbi. You
might remember they were co workers in Cleveland, You remember that, right, Yeah? Sure,
And Kyrie then ran away one direction, Lebron went the other.
So Lebron discussing what it's like to watch Kyrie Irving
(04:05):
in the playoffs, as Dallas has been on this magic
carpet ride, beating the wounded Clippers and beating some lesser
opponents Oklahoma City, Minnesota, and then they end up in
the NBA Finals. So Dallas is there. And here's what
Lebron said. He said quote, I am so efing mad.
Lebron said so effing mad that I'm not his running
(04:29):
mate anymore. A somber Lebron. Let's discuss the question is
is rather simple, right, rather simple? How do you decode?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
How do you decode Lebron James getting a little bit emotional,
a little bit emotional around Kyrie irving, no hunger playing
with him. Of course, I haven't played together in years.
It's not like this is some kind of new revelation.
So I've got the atomic eye chart and Michelin start
(05:05):
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a towel so Lebron can
cry into the towels what we're going to make a
h I actually, for the purposes of this Mallar monologue,
I checked the mood ring of Lebron James, and his
mood ring is amber. It's an amber, not an Amber
(05:28):
alert just an Amber mood ring for Lebron, which means
he's unhappy. He's unhappy, and I would say he's more
unhappy that he's not gotten a lot of attention. He's
more annoyed that the attention has focused on the ladies
and other people in the basketball world other than Lebron.
And so he uses his platform to make it all
(05:50):
about him. And I point out from time to time
that I do a TV show, at least I did
last year. Hopefully they'll re up the show this year
and we'll get a second sea. But I do a
show with a guy who is much like that that
he believes in the philosophy of making it all about him.
So here's the problem, and is one small problem I have,
(06:12):
you know, and this is this is an issue that
it's my problem. It's probably not your problem. But here's
the way I look at this. So if you go
back into the hot tub time machine and you go
back about seven years seven seven six years ago, right
around that time, it wasn't Lebron that wanted to get
(06:33):
rid of Kyrie, it was the other way around. If
you remember the soap opera, the drama O rama, and
we were here documenting all of that minute by minute
here behind these very microphones at FSR. And at the
time Uncle Drew told the cavaliers he did not want
to play another minute, not a not a minute with Lebron,
(06:55):
not a not a minute. He said it, He said that.
He was reported at the time he said it. Now
the chatter going around. Went back and looked at my notebook,
and the chatter was that Irving was tired of being
the robin in the relationship. He didn't want to be
the son to father Lebron, who's batman and all that.
(07:17):
And so now Lebron, because he needs some attentions, I
got regrets. He's also giving a passive, aggressive atomic elbow
to Anthony Davis right to the solar the solar region
of Anthony Davis. There the un brow is Lebron James
(07:39):
current running mate. He's Lebron's right hand man for better
or worse, and often worse. Unless you have four months
off before the playoffs and you play at a Mickey
Mouse gymnasium with no fans, then everything's good. We're all good.
But outside of that, not so good, not so good
(08:00):
at all. But Lebron did more than that. He got
into a mac truck and hit the Daily Double. What
is the daily double? You ask, Well, not only did
he slam Anthony Davis, his coworker for now, he also
ran over skinny jeans. That would be Rob Polinka, who
(08:24):
for some reason is still there because he's friends with
Jeanie Buss at the GM there, and you can tell
Lebron subtly is upset because he wanted the Lakers to
acquire Kyrie Irving a couple of times, and the Lakers
didn't want to do business with Kyrie, and so he's
upset about that. All right now, page turning the page,
(08:46):
Let's go focus on the actual finals Finals, which is
going on at some point here Thursday Garden Party be
there or just watch it on TV, or don't watch
it at all. I don't care. We'll watch it for you.
But reacting to the media chat, and here's what I'm
hearing in the echo chamber as we head into just
about go time. Is it true that Jason Tatum has
(09:13):
much more, much more to lose in the NBA Finals
than Jalen Brown, Luka Doncic and ky Ree Irving. Let's
a popular talking point by popular people. So I'm gonna
nod my head yes on this that Tatum does have
more to lose than Jalen Brown, Luk at Doncik and
Kyrie Irving. This series is booby trapped for Jason Tatum.
(09:37):
It is booby trapped for tatm. Let me explain why.
If you look at the eye chart, perception is reality.
I heard that somewhere perception is reality, and the perception
will be that Jason Tatum the guys a bum. The
guys a bum. As our friend Joe and Rhode Island
used to say, who can't get it done? He cannot
(09:58):
get it done at the finish line. Everyone else has
an alibi. Now the basketball media gives so many of
these alibis out. But let's go down and look at
the big board. Luka, Doncik will get a pass. It's
his first chance in the NBA Finals. You don't often
win your first one, okay. Well, Kyriees got the ace
(10:19):
up his sleeve there that he was part of the
lebron Cavs team that came back against Golden State because
Draymond Green couldn't keep his hands to himself and kicked
the guy in the twigging berries and was watching an
Oakland Athletics game while the Warriors were playing in the
NBA Finals. Then you got Jalen Brown and Jaylen Brown's like,
(10:40):
I'm gonna go like Seinfeld. He's George Costanza and Jason
Tatum is Jerry Seinfeld. So you don't get upset with
George Costanza if there was a bad episode of Seinfeld
because he's the number two. And then you've got Jason Tatum,
who doesn't get a mulligan. There's no mulligan in for
(11:00):
Jason Tatum. This is his second bite of the apple,
and if the second try after the first one goes awry,
it does not go well for you. He is the jewel,
the jewel of the crown of Madison Avenue. If you've
been paying attention, maybe you don't watch commercials. I don't know.
I try to avoid them, but I see Jason Tatum's
(11:22):
mug all over selling shoes, Gatorades, Subway. Over the years,
He's done the video games, the potato chips, you name it.
He's selling you a lot of crap. A lot of
crap he's selling you. And you lose in the NBA
Finals and you don't play well. I mean you could win,
Jaylen Brown could be the better player. That would hurt
(11:44):
and that would be a negative net negative, that would
not be debits. But you lose to the Mavericks and
it's like the lowest seed in the modern era to
win a championship Dallas. And that's embarrassing. That's that's embarrassing.
And then you got the cooties. They give you a
little cooties and nobody wants the cootie. Remember in elementary school,
and you get the cooties. Nobody wants the cooties. All right,
last word here, So some shuffling from the Boston side.
(12:06):
We are hearing now that it is on for Chris
stops porzingis green light go. He is returning to the
Celtics active roster for the NBA Finals. No shock here.
What is your reaction though to this? So my initial
reaction is woo de damn do that is my reaction.
I have heard the noise and you probably have as
(12:29):
well if you consume this content. What you're doing right now,
So I've heard the noise that there's a lot of
hyperventilating by talking heads. The Celtics cut on when unless
Porzungis plays Porzungis has to play ay or else. Oh,
biting my fingernails thinking about it. I don't believe it.
(12:51):
I don't believe the noise. And here's why. Remember back
in the pandemic, when we determine who in society was
essential and who was non essential. Remember that, And I
learned that doing an overnight sports talk radio show, the
federal government considered us essential. No I got a card
from the government. If they had martial law, I could
still go out. Yeah, your overnight sports radio guy's essential.
(13:16):
But here's the thing. Listen, christopsporzingis not essential. Thing of
it Like going to a Michelin star restaurant. You're at
a Michelin starred restaurant and you order the prime rib.
You get a perfectly cooked, perfectly cooked piece of prime rib.
(13:37):
That's the essential part of the meal. If they serve
you mashed potatoes, that's nice. But if they're lumpy mashed potatoes,
that's what Perzingis is. It's not It doesn't ruin the meal.
It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
It.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Don't get me wrong. Perzingis is good when he plays,
but I also believe his value is overblown. I don't
think helps you much on defense. And after a minutes
long Mallar scouting report on the NBA Finals, we have
determined that, well, Boston is good enough to win without Porzingis.
I think it's a better story if they do win
(14:10):
with btin Porzingis getting here and I know he's gonna
play in Game one and all that, But even with
his return, the guys made out of bostelwood and he's
made out of popsicle sticks is what he's made out of.
There's a very slim chance that he stays healthy between
now and the end of the NBA Finals start. I
think it'll be sometime in Lorena was telling me like
(14:30):
November or something like that. Yeah, they start on Thursday
of the Finals, and then they just got to go
to November and then they take I think it's two
days off and then they start the next year. I
think I might be wrong with that, but I think
that's I think that's how they do it. It is
the Ben Madle shorts, Anubi night Speakasy rules are not
in effect. It's a Neuby night. It's now oh so exciting,
(14:54):
you're not excited? Come on, you don't have to hear
the same dopes that call the show every Now you
get the next generation of dopes. As it's like star search.
We are out there trying to find the next great
wave of calls. Every once in a while we do
one of these things and we get a new regular
that is born, that pops up on our radar. Now,
(15:15):
what is nub me not all about? It's kind of
self explained towards rather obvious. You're not that stupid. It's
people that don't normally call the show. Now, if you're
a regular, which means we know your story, you call
up once a week, couple times a week, we know
who you are, We know your backstory. Like Jed who fled,
we know his probation officer, We have his whole life.
(15:36):
We know how many pills a day hollering James takes
in Minnesota. We know the four dishes that Marcel and
Brooklyn eats. We know way too much about blind Scott's life.
Like we know a lot of things, a lot of
things about the people that call the show because they
call every freaking night, So we need newbies. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
(15:57):
nine six six three six nine. There's a story in
sports where if you look at the script. If you
look at the script that's been written about this, it
is like a James Bond movie. It's just off the rails.
We'll give you the latest on that. It's a wild tale.
It's a scandal in sports. It is still going on
(16:19):
as we speak. We'll get to that and we will.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):

The Ben Mallor Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on X he's
at Ben Mallor, and you can post at and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
The voice of reason, your news guy. You're announcer guy.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
I'm at Eddie on Fox Hine nuts Atli from the
Tirak dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You'll be happy to know, Eddie that several listeners reached
out to me. They've said they are the silent majority
of the malor of militia. They've been with me many years.
They told me that if I mention in a monologue
the WNBA again, they will find where I live. They
will kidnap me and they will waterboard me. And I
blame you, Eddie, because you were pestering me to mention
(18:01):
the w NB. So I will not mention the w
NBA monologue. I will do the much anticipated Mallow monologue
on hockey, Eddie Hockey. Eddie monelogue on hockey will be
coming up. That's good an hour three.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I wonder if there has been a mandate for w
NBA promos, and I know not everyone here is what
we hear when we're you know what we're working.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's called network filler, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, we've got a lot of We hear a lot
of promos when we're here.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Every show on the network is woke.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yes, I mean I just heard a cowherd w NB.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
A coward is not talking, yes, like it's going to
be raining down sul for Eddie. Do you understand these
are end times? Eddie callin cowhard is talking w NBA.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I just like every network, or every not every every
show on the network, it seems to have a w
NBA promo. I'm wondering if this is some sort of
a mandate.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
They don't even listen to this, so I don't, at
least when I talk. So the only time I get
complaints is when Coop screws up. They they'll contact me.
But other than that, no, or if Lorena hits the
wrong button, that's about it. People also demanding any more
Malard theme music, So Loraina, I think we need at
least one a night a Mallard theme somewhere. We have
(19:21):
a whole archive, and people very nostalgic for some of
those classic songs. We would also like some of those songs.
We have one song for Lorena, so boys, if you
play them. As somebody said in the email that I
went to the email bag, which is probably my biggest
mistake that I did on Tuesday was go through the
email and there was a complaint that you know, you're
(19:42):
not going to get any new songs because Lorena doesn't
play them anymore. And whatever we'll play, I'll encourage her
to play.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
That reminds me I do have another updated song with
with Lorena. Oh we do, okay, bet we have not
debut yet.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
And how old is this song? When was this saying
last week? Who was at Ohiol? Who's in Ohio? I
guess we'll play that one today. Do you know where
the songs are? The ring were like a whole I just.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Type in random Ben Mallard songs in the type list.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, because we have a whole album of songs that
we should release, except they're all song pairs. We can
make like a Spotify playlist of them. That's a great idea.
A lot of them are holiday songs, yeah, most are
holiday so we have all those that are not holiday songs.
But that's a great idea. We should put them all
see people would love that, Loringe. Do you have a
Thanksgiving one that says Ben's a turk ben gobble gobble,
(20:37):
So you're inspiring someone to write a song like that. Yeah, No,
we only have Christmas songs because the company mandates once
Thanksgiving happens. Is it that night? I think it's that night.
They force us for an entire month to play nothing
but songs. I probably kicked it off this past season. No, no,
we've been doing this how many years? At them every
year so they get the same email. You got to
(20:58):
play these holiday songs.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's been a while.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah we have. We have a few Honica songs, but
mostly Christmas songs, and so we just let it rip.
But it is a newbie night people want, they want newbies.
Give me the newbies. We'll get to the newbies. That
Clapper writes and says, how come we have so many
crack pots that stay up all night listening to talk radio.
I'm off my meds, that's why you Well, I'm getting
paid to be here, Clapper, So you've got your own
(21:24):
own problems. Robbie the Mariner fan says, I cannot imagine
why Eddie Garcia did not want Lenny Dykster to come
in studio. Apparently. I'm told that Lenny Dykstra was on
social media and he was asking for cocaine. He wanted
somewhere in a place to stay. Honest to god, he
(21:49):
should be a caller to this show. Well he does.
He does. Listen to you. Remember that we had him
item on my podcast.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
He wanted.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Lenny wanted to come in studio. He follows me on
the show. And I said, no, that was an incredibly
wise desise. I disagree. Think of the stories that we
would have gotten. He would have done a line of
coke right here on the table. Well, yeah, right, are
you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
We had a we had a We had someone come
in and stay with us who was nothing close to
being what Lendy would be.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And you were freaking out about that.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
She's not Lenny.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I didn't say it was sheer. I didn't go there.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Well that limits it greatly, But my goodness, man, good
old Lenny. He wasn't at that strawberry thing. Was he
had a strawberry ceremony. I don't think he was invited.
I don't maybe he was, I don't know. Matthew Warrior
Raider fan says a night off from blind Scott has
caused for celebration. Let's kick off newby Night with Bang
(22:51):
Gore Bill. Well, this is all ought to be good. Hello,
bangor Bill, welcome?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Oh hello, Yeah, can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, Bag or Bill, I had to I had to
adjust my computer because it's about to do a company
wide reset, which means yet again, bangor Bill, my computer
is going to be in the toilet for like. It
takes an hour to update these computers. It's crazy.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
That would be my fault.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Well, it coincided this. This might be a wrong correlation
to make, but correlation causation. But you I took your call,
and the moment I took your call, the little box
popped up on the screen that said network reset. I
did hit the snooze button, So I hope it screws over.
Jonas Knox later, that's what I'm like.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Yeah, that's always a good thing. Yeah, I don't have
to listen to them today. I think he's still out.
I think he's.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
He's back.
Speaker 1 (23:49):

day by returning from vacation. All right, well, Bill, you're

I love bagels. We love bagels. How many different how
many different types of bagels you got that shop?
Speaker 3 (24:14):
How many?
Speaker 1 (24:15):

but we end up getting up to about twelve different flavors.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Oh, that's good. Now, what's the best selling bagel? Yeah?
This guy? Hold on this guess Paul, Bill? Bill? Hold

Speaker 4 (24:40):
Hold hold on?
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Why can't you play some bagel guessing music?
Speaker 1 (24:43):
Because I'm pausing to you, Eddie, don't hang up. I'll
be very upset when your bill if you hang up,
don't all I see call the teas at all time
by the clock, four the clock, plausa about the clock.
You're gonna guess the most popular bagel at his shop,

Speaker 1 (28:31):
All right, So I'm gonna preface what I'm about to
say by saying I know nothing about the bagel business.
I've eaten a lot of bagels over my my time,
since I was a kid. I love I love bagels, fresh,
fresh bagels, just amazing. But you gotta maybe you're on
this already. You got to get some really weird ft
up bagel. You gotta like design a weird flat like
(28:54):
you should make a lobster bagel or something like that,
and get it, get it on snow. No, here's what
you do. You get it on social media and then
like it'll go viral and then people like travel to
your bagel shop to get the bagel and they'll put
it on those those TV shows like Diners, Drivings and
Dives and those type of things.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
We go to Bar Harbor every week, so that's definitely
something that will take off there.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
No, so you gotta like, you gotta like reverse engineer
some kind of weird I'm just.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
Looking at different bagel flavors and how about a French
toast bagel.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
That sounds really good.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Yeah, topping.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
No, but what's more? What's more main than a lops
a main lobster bagel?
Speaker 8 (29:33):
Oh manan blueberry bagel. That's a pretty popular one.
Speaker 1 (29:37):

Bill's Bagel.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
Way too normal to be a caller on this.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Shut up, Eddie, that's disrespectful. You get the guy the
bird first, I ride out of the batch. You get
my bird.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Well, he insulted me.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Domingo is in San Diego. Hello Domingo on a New
Me night.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Hey, then this is Domingo from San Diego.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I want to talk about two stuff.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
I want to talk about the Boston Celtics and how
there was a shark that was biting in San Diego.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Two types of stuff, two different.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, I only the shark the shark was it bit?
I think the shark bits someone. Yeah, yeah, because if
the shark, if a shark is bitten, that's not news.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But no, no, no, no, no, no, it's the other
way around, right yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, didn't they say man bites dog, not a story
dog bites man or something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
No, but if a shark is bitten by another shark
or that, that's not the guy.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
The guy bit the shark.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh he did get away? Oh yeah? Does he have
really sharp teeth?
Speaker 6 (30:51):
The guy like a vampire is maybe it's a one
legged uh San Diego man story, who knows, No, he.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Is the guy been off break in the hospital like
in a trauma unit over here.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
But he didn't That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
We had the guy in Alabama had his leg bitting off,
and then they captured the gator and ate it, and
they did the sharklest.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
What if he served all? You can all. He didn't
catch the shark, but they'll catch it. The shark will
probably split out the leg and then they'll they'll find
the shark, and then you can he'll go out and
find it, and then you'll have like a fish fry,
but it will be a shark fry, and you can
have like a little piece of shark and though.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
No have you you've never eaten the sharks before.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I don't like seafood and Jamy, okay, I mean only seafood. Well,
they have a lot of weird things to standing, but
the only seafood.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I I'll go like.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Beer, battered fish sticks, tartar sauce on the side, and fries.
I'm good, that's all I need. No shrimp right off
the kids to shrimp right off the kids menu. No,
I really don't like.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
But that's why I don't swim in the ocean, to
be honest to being with living over here and.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Just like I still in that one in the ocean,
but like they're actually swimming and like surfing it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I don't know, man, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I just what I do is I walk up and
down the just put my feet in the water. That's it.
I don't go any further out, although I do go
to Hawaii. I'll swim in Hawaii because it's beautiful, tropical
and I feel like if I dye in Hawaii, I'm dying.
I'm dying in paradise, you know. If I get eaten
by his turtle or something like that, at least I'm
dying in paradise. Oh yeah, they got they got really
(32:26):
weird weird things.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, for sure, they didn't have a gray white shark.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
But it's a big different thing.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
That's like, if you survive though, think about that, the
street credit. I guess you wouldn't have street head. It
be like ocean cred. Think of the ocean cred you'd
have if you survive that.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
That would be like when you go with the ocean
you start swimming, people like, oh, that's the guy I've
been by the shark that yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Oh man, And if you were single, oh man, every
woman would be tossing their number at you. I got
all right, now, have a very good Domingo. Thank you
for being a newbie, and I appreciate that they won't
hang up on you as a do Mingo shark guy.
It's not when is shark Week? Do they still? Is
that still a thing? Shark Week? Is that still?
Speaker 8 (33:04):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:05):
It's gotta be best, It's gotta be okay. I don't know.
I don't watch it. Do you watch Sharknado? No? I
like the first one I did, just a mockt and
then how many are there now? I think there's like
six of them. Yeah, no, I watched the first one.
That's I'm good. I didn't watch any other other episodes
in that So this is a wild, wild story. It's
(33:29):
like a James Bond type situation where we're gonna get
to it in a minute.
Speaker 8 (33:33):
Though.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
I want to get on time here, because if I

(38:26):
Howie
Here we go. Welcome to our number one, our one
of the original recipe podcast. We stayed up all night
giving you fresh, piping hot audio content that you can
listen to on demand. Now most people listen in the morning,
but you can listen whenever. A lot of people like
to go back and listen to old podcasts to make
(00:21):
me look like a donkey. But here in our number one,
the NBA Finals peekaboo, how do you decode Lebron James
not playing in the NBA Finals, But how do you
decode Lebron James a very emotional comment about watching Kyrie
Irving in the NBA Finals. We'll discuss that. Is it
true that Jason Tatum has more to lose than Jalen Brown,
(00:44):
Luka Doncik and Kyrie Irving in these NBA Finals. Also,
Christaps porzingis he's back, That's what we're hearing. Returning to
the Celtics roster for the NBA Finals. What is your
reaction to the unicorn coming back. We'll talk about all
of that and who knows what else. It's a new
(01:05):
B night, all right, for the New Bnight that means
all new calls. You give us two minutes we'll give
you a headache and a new caller unless we don't.
But here it is our number one.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Broken hearted Welcome in the beginning of another night of
the Ben Malors Show. We are in the air everywheres
we howl at the moon and speak our mind coast,
the coast, border, the border, and beyond all the best
(01:40):
and mighty powerful microphones of FSR EMM neating live from
the rocket the rocket ship as we take off. We're
broadcasting live from the Tiraq dot com studios.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Tyraq dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stars. Almost as many email complaints I got
for mentioning the WNBA. But I'm not gonna do that anymore.
I learned my lesson, that's all Eddie. Eddie's the WNBA guy.
(02:16):
By the way, tire rack dot com the way tire buying.
Should I say, should be and are lead this hour
from the NBA Finals just say, well, there's no game.
Get what are you doing? You can't talk about the
NBA Finals. There's no game. And while that is true,
it was no game played. The Mavericks did get on
(02:40):
a big bird. They flew into the Commonwealth. The travel
day so exciting, which means you fly out on Tuesday.
Wednesday you are serenaded by the assembled media, and then
on Thursday you play no games till tomorrow. This are
(03:00):
our Wednesday show and then boom Thursday night. It's on
like Donkey Kong. And so with zero action, Lebron James
has entered the chat trying to fill the void. We
thank Lebron for that. He's feeding the content plate and
we think that's important. You still have to do the show,
whether they play games or not. We do the show.
(03:20):
We don't have load management here. We don't take random
nights off. We talk every fing night, every bleeping night.
We are here talk talk talk talk, talk, talk talk.
So if you didn't hear and maybe not speaking on
his fledgling podcast with his soon to be head coach,
(03:43):
what an embarrassment, oh, Lebron. Lebron discussed Kyrie Irbi. You
might remember they were co workers in Cleveland, You remember that, right, Yeah? Sure,
And Kyrie then ran away one direction, Lebron went the other.
So Lebron discussing what it's like to watch Kyrie Irving
(04:05):
in the playoffs, as Dallas has been on this magic
carpet ride, beating the wounded Clippers and beating some lesser
opponents Oklahoma City, Minnesota, and then they end up in
the NBA Finals. So Dallas is there. And here's what
Lebron said. He said quote, I am so efing mad.
Lebron said so effing mad that I'm not his running
(04:29):
mate anymore. A somber Lebron. Let's discuss the question is
is rather simple, right, rather simple? How do you decode?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
All right?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
How do you decode Lebron James getting a little bit emotional,
a little bit emotional around Kyrie irving, no hunger playing
with him. Of course, I haven't played together in years.
It's not like this is some kind of new revelation.
So I've got the atomic eye chart and Michelin start
(05:05):
and we will combine all of these things together, and
we are going to make a towel so Lebron can
cry into the towels what we're going to make a
h I actually, for the purposes of this Mallar monologue,
I checked the mood ring of Lebron James, and his
mood ring is amber. It's an amber, not an Amber
(05:28):
alert just an Amber mood ring for Lebron, which means
he's unhappy. He's unhappy, and I would say he's more
unhappy that he's not gotten a lot of attention. He's
more annoyed that the attention has focused on the ladies
and other people in the basketball world other than Lebron.
And so he uses his platform to make it all
(05:50):
about him. And I point out from time to time
that I do a TV show, at least I did
last year. Hopefully they'll re up the show this year
and we'll get a second sea. But I do a
show with a guy who is much like that that
he believes in the philosophy of making it all about him.
So here's the problem, and is one small problem I have,
(06:12):
you know, and this is this is an issue that
it's my problem. It's probably not your problem. But here's
the way I look at this. So if you go
back into the hot tub time machine and you go
back about seven years seven seven six years ago, right
around that time, it wasn't Lebron that wanted to get
(06:33):
rid of Kyrie, it was the other way around. If
you remember the soap opera, the drama O rama, and
we were here documenting all of that minute by minute
here behind these very microphones at FSR. And at the
time Uncle Drew told the cavaliers he did not want
to play another minute, not a not a minute with Lebron,
(06:55):
not a not a minute. He said it, He said that.
He was reported at the time he said it. Now
the chatter going around. Went back and looked at my notebook,
and the chatter was that Irving was tired of being
the robin in the relationship. He didn't want to be
the son to father Lebron, who's batman and all that.
(07:17):
And so now Lebron, because he needs some attentions, I
got regrets. He's also giving a passive, aggressive atomic elbow
to Anthony Davis right to the solar the solar region
of Anthony Davis. There the un brow is Lebron James
(07:39):
current running mate. He's Lebron's right hand man for better
or worse, and often worse. Unless you have four months
off before the playoffs and you play at a Mickey
Mouse gymnasium with no fans, then everything's good. We're all good.
But outside of that, not so good, not so good
(08:00):
at all. But Lebron did more than that. He got
into a mac truck and hit the Daily Double. What
is the daily double? You ask, Well, not only did
he slam Anthony Davis, his coworker for now, he also
ran over skinny jeans. That would be Rob Polinka, who
(08:24):
for some reason is still there because he's friends with
Jeanie Buss at the GM there, and you can tell
Lebron subtly is upset because he wanted the Lakers to
acquire Kyrie Irving a couple of times, and the Lakers
didn't want to do business with Kyrie, and so he's
upset about that. All right now, page turning the page,
(08:46):
Let's go focus on the actual finals Finals, which is
going on at some point here Thursday Garden Party be
there or just watch it on TV, or don't watch
it at all. I don't care. We'll watch it for you.
But reacting to the media chat, and here's what I'm
hearing in the echo chamber as we head into just
about go time. Is it true that Jason Tatum has
(09:13):
much more, much more to lose in the NBA Finals
than Jalen Brown, Luka Doncic and ky Ree Irving. Let's
a popular talking point by popular people. So I'm gonna
nod my head yes on this that Tatum does have
more to lose than Jalen Brown, Luk at Doncik and
Kyrie Irving. This series is booby trapped for Jason Tatum.
(09:37):
It is booby trapped for tatm. Let me explain why.
If you look at the eye chart, perception is reality.
I heard that somewhere perception is reality, and the perception
will be that Jason Tatum the guys a bum. The
guys a bum. As our friend Joe and Rhode Island
used to say, who can't get it done? He cannot
(09:58):
get it done at the finish line. Everyone else has
an alibi. Now the basketball media gives so many of
these alibis out. But let's go down and look at
the big board. Luka, Doncik will get a pass. It's
his first chance in the NBA Finals. You don't often
win your first one, okay. Well, Kyriees got the ace
(10:19):
up his sleeve there that he was part of the
lebron Cavs team that came back against Golden State because
Draymond Green couldn't keep his hands to himself and kicked
the guy in the twigging berries and was watching an
Oakland Athletics game while the Warriors were playing in the
NBA Finals. Then you got Jalen Brown and Jaylen Brown's like,
(10:40):
I'm gonna go like Seinfeld. He's George Costanza and Jason
Tatum is Jerry Seinfeld. So you don't get upset with
George Costanza if there was a bad episode of Seinfeld
because he's the number two. And then you've got Jason Tatum,
who doesn't get a mulligan. There's no mulligan in for
(11:00):
Jason Tatum. This is his second bite of the apple,
and if the second try after the first one goes awry,
it does not go well for you. He is the jewel,
the jewel of the crown of Madison Avenue. If you've
been paying attention, maybe you don't watch commercials. I don't know.
I try to avoid them, but I see Jason Tatum's
(11:22):
mug all over selling shoes, Gatorades, Subway. Over the years,
He's done the video games, the potato chips, you name it.
He's selling you a lot of crap. A lot of
crap he's selling you. And you lose in the NBA
Finals and you don't play well. I mean you could win,
Jaylen Brown could be the better player. That would hurt
(11:44):
and that would be a negative net negative, that would
not be debits. But you lose to the Mavericks and
it's like the lowest seed in the modern era to
win a championship Dallas. And that's embarrassing. That's that's embarrassing.
And then you got the cooties. They give you a
little cooties and nobody wants the cootie. Remember in elementary school,
and you get the cooties. Nobody wants the cooties. All right,
last word here, So some shuffling from the Boston side.
(12:06):
We are hearing now that it is on for Chris
stops porzingis green light go. He is returning to the
Celtics active roster for the NBA Finals. No shock here.
What is your reaction though to this? So my initial
reaction is woo de damn do that is my reaction.
I have heard the noise and you probably have as
(12:29):
well if you consume this content. What you're doing right now,
So I've heard the noise that there's a lot of
hyperventilating by talking heads. The Celtics cut on when unless
Porzungis plays Porzungis has to play ay or else. Oh,
biting my fingernails thinking about it. I don't believe it.
(12:51):
I don't believe the noise. And here's why. Remember back
in the pandemic, when we determine who in society was
essential and who was non essential. Remember that, And I
learned that doing an overnight sports talk radio show, the
federal government considered us essential. No I got a card
from the government. If they had martial law, I could
still go out. Yeah, your overnight sports radio guy's essential.
(13:16):
But here's the thing. Listen, christopsporzingis not essential. Thing of
it Like going to a Michelin star restaurant. You're at
a Michelin starred restaurant and you order the prime rib.
You get a perfectly cooked, perfectly cooked piece of prime rib.
(13:37):
That's the essential part of the meal. If they serve
you mashed potatoes, that's nice. But if they're lumpy mashed potatoes,
that's what Perzingis is. It's not It doesn't ruin the meal.
It doesn't.
Speaker 4 (13:49):
It.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Don't get me wrong. Perzingis is good when he plays,
but I also believe his value is overblown. I don't
think helps you much on defense. And after a minutes
long Mallar scouting report on the NBA Finals, we have
determined that, well, Boston is good enough to win without Porzingis.
I think it's a better story if they do win
(14:10):
with btin Porzingis getting here and I know he's gonna
play in Game one and all that, But even with
his return, the guys made out of bostelwood and he's
made out of popsicle sticks is what he's made out of.
There's a very slim chance that he stays healthy between
now and the end of the NBA Finals start. I
think it'll be sometime in Lorena was telling me like
(14:30):
November or something like that. Yeah, they start on Thursday
of the Finals, and then they just got to go
to November and then they take I think it's two
days off and then they start the next year. I
think I might be wrong with that, but I think
that's I think that's how they do it. It is
the Ben Madle shorts, Anubi night Speakasy rules are not
in effect. It's a Neuby night. It's now oh so exciting,
(14:54):
you're not excited? Come on, you don't have to hear
the same dopes that call the show every Now you
get the next generation of dopes. As it's like star search.
We are out there trying to find the next great
wave of calls. Every once in a while we do
one of these things and we get a new regular
that is born, that pops up on our radar. Now,
(15:15):
what is nub me not all about? It's kind of
self explained towards rather obvious. You're not that stupid. It's
people that don't normally call the show. Now, if you're
a regular, which means we know your story, you call
up once a week, couple times a week, we know
who you are, We know your backstory. Like Jed who fled,
we know his probation officer, We have his whole life.
(15:36):
We know how many pills a day hollering James takes
in Minnesota. We know the four dishes that Marcel and
Brooklyn eats. We know way too much about blind Scott's life.
Like we know a lot of things, a lot of
things about the people that call the show because they
call every freaking night, So we need newbies. Eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
(15:57):
nine six six three six nine. There's a story in
sports where if you look at the script. If you
look at the script that's been written about this, it
is like a James Bond movie. It's just off the rails.
We'll give you the latest on that. It's a wild tale.
It's a scandal in sports. It is still going on
(16:19):
as we speak. We'll get to that and we will.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Next.
Speaker 4 (16:25):

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Like Ed Milett or John Gordon.
Speaker 5 (16:55):
We've all been through some sort of adversity to get
to the top.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast

Speaker 6 (17:11):
The Ben Mallor Show is a collaborative effort. You're invited
to communicate with those of us on this side of
the microphones. You can follow your host on X he's
at Ben Mallor, and you can post at and follow me.
Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekick.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
The voice of reason, your news guy. You're announcer guy.
Speaker 6 (17:28):
I'm at Eddie on Fox Hine nuts Atli from the
Tirak dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
It's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
You'll be happy to know, Eddie that several listeners reached
out to me. They've said they are the silent majority
of the malor of militia. They've been with me many years.
They told me that if I mention in a monologue
the WNBA again, they will find where I live. They
will kidnap me and they will waterboard me. And I
blame you, Eddie, because you were pestering me to mention
(18:01):
the w NB. So I will not mention the w
NBA monologue. I will do the much anticipated Mallow monologue
on hockey, Eddie Hockey. Eddie monelogue on hockey will be
coming up. That's good an hour three.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
I wonder if there has been a mandate for w
NBA promos, and I know not everyone here is what
we hear when we're you know what we're working.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
It's called network filler, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
Yeah, we've got a lot of We hear a lot
of promos when we're here.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Every show on the network is woke.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yes, I mean I just heard a cowherd w NB.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
A coward is not talking, yes, like it's going to
be raining down sul for Eddie. Do you understand these
are end times? Eddie callin cowhard is talking w NBA.
Speaker 6 (18:48):
I just like every network, or every not every every
show on the network, it seems to have a w
NBA promo. I'm wondering if this is some sort of
a mandate.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
They don't even listen to this, so I don't, at
least when I talk. So the only time I get
complaints is when Coop screws up. They they'll contact me.
But other than that, no, or if Lorena hits the
wrong button, that's about it. People also demanding any more
Malard theme music, So Loraina, I think we need at
least one a night a Mallard theme somewhere. We have
(19:21):
a whole archive, and people very nostalgic for some of
those classic songs. We would also like some of those songs.
We have one song for Lorena, so boys, if you
play them. As somebody said in the email that I
went to the email bag, which is probably my biggest
mistake that I did on Tuesday was go through the
email and there was a complaint that you know, you're
(19:42):
not going to get any new songs because Lorena doesn't
play them anymore. And whatever we'll play, I'll encourage her
to play.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
That reminds me I do have another updated song with
with Lorena. Oh we do, okay, bet we have not
debut yet.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
And how old is this song? When was this saying
last week? Who was at Ohiol? Who's in Ohio? I
guess we'll play that one today. Do you know where
the songs are? The ring were like a whole I just.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Type in random Ben Mallard songs in the type list.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, because we have a whole album of songs that
we should release, except they're all song pairs. We can
make like a Spotify playlist of them. That's a great idea.
A lot of them are holiday songs, yeah, most are
holiday so we have all those that are not holiday songs.
But that's a great idea. We should put them all
see people would love that, Loringe. Do you have a
Thanksgiving one that says Ben's a turk ben gobble gobble,
(20:37):
So you're inspiring someone to write a song like that. Yeah, No,
we only have Christmas songs because the company mandates once
Thanksgiving happens. Is it that night? I think it's that night.
They force us for an entire month to play nothing
but songs. I probably kicked it off this past season. No, no,
we've been doing this how many years? At them every
year so they get the same email. You got to
(20:58):
play these holiday songs.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
It's been a while.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah we have. We have a few Honica songs, but
mostly Christmas songs, and so we just let it rip.
But it is a newbie night people want, they want newbies.
Give me the newbies. We'll get to the newbies. That
Clapper writes and says, how come we have so many
crack pots that stay up all night listening to talk radio.
I'm off my meds, that's why you Well, I'm getting
paid to be here, Clapper, So you've got your own
(21:24):
own problems. Robbie the Mariner fan says, I cannot imagine
why Eddie Garcia did not want Lenny Dykster to come
in studio. Apparently. I'm told that Lenny Dykstra was on
social media and he was asking for cocaine. He wanted
somewhere in a place to stay. Honest to god, he
(21:49):
should be a caller to this show. Well he does.
He does. Listen to you. Remember that we had him
item on my podcast.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
He wanted.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Lenny wanted to come in studio. He follows me on
the show. And I said, no, that was an incredibly
wise desise. I disagree. Think of the stories that we
would have gotten. He would have done a line of
coke right here on the table. Well, yeah, right, are
you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (22:13):
We had a we had a We had someone come
in and stay with us who was nothing close to
being what Lendy would be.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
And you were freaking out about that.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
She's not Lenny.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I didn't say it was sheer. I didn't go there.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Well that limits it greatly, But my goodness, man, good
old Lenny. He wasn't at that strawberry thing. Was he
had a strawberry ceremony. I don't think he was invited.
I don't maybe he was, I don't know. Matthew Warrior
Raider fan says a night off from blind Scott has
caused for celebration. Let's kick off newby Night with Bang
(22:51):
Gore Bill. Well, this is all ought to be good. Hello,
bangor Bill, welcome?
Speaker 3 (22:59):
Oh hello, Yeah, can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Well, Bag or Bill, I had to I had to
adjust my computer because it's about to do a company
wide reset, which means yet again, bangor Bill, my computer
is going to be in the toilet for like. It
takes an hour to update these computers. It's crazy.
Speaker 8 (23:20):
That would be my fault.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Well, it coincided this. This might be a wrong correlation
to make, but correlation causation. But you I took your call,
and the moment I took your call, the little box
popped up on the screen that said network reset. I
did hit the snooze button, So I hope it screws over.
Jonas Knox later, that's what I'm like.
Speaker 8 (23:41):
Yeah, that's always a good thing. Yeah, I don't have
to listen to them today. I think he's still out.
I think he's.
Speaker 3 (23:48):

day by returning from vacation. All right, well, Bill, you're

since I was a kid. I love I love bagels, fresh,
fresh bagels, just amazing. But you gotta maybe you're on
this already. You got to get some really weird ft
up bagel. You gotta like design a weird flat like

you should make a lobster bagel or something like that,
and get it, get it on snow. No, here's what
you do. You get it on social media and then
like it'll go viral and then people like travel to
your bagel shop to get the bagel and they'll put
it on those those TV shows like Diners, Drivings and
Dives and those type of things.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
We go to Bar Harbor every week, so that's definitely
something that will take off there.

Shut up, Eddie, that's disrespectful. You get the guy the
bird first, I ride out of the batch. You get
my bird.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
Well, he insulted me.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Domingo is in San Diego. Hello Domingo on a New
Me night.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Hey, then this is Domingo from San Diego.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
I want to talk about two stuff.
Speaker 7 (30:16):
I want to talk about the Boston Celtics and how
there was a shark that was biting in San Diego.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
Two types of stuff, two different.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Well, I only the shark the shark was it bit?
I think the shark bits someone. Yeah, yeah, because if
the shark, if a shark is bitten, that's not news.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But no, no, no, no, no, no, it's the other
way around, right yeah.
Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, didn't they say man bites dog, not a story
dog bites man or something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
No, but if a shark is bitten by another shark
or that, that's not the guy.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
The guy bit the shark.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Oh he did get away? Oh yeah? Does he have
really sharp teeth?
Speaker 6 (30:51):
The guy like a vampire is maybe it's a one
legged uh San Diego man story, who knows, No, he.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Is the guy been off break in the hospital like
in a trauma unit over here.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
But he didn't That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (31:05):
We had the guy in Alabama had his leg bitting off,
and then they captured the gator and ate it, and
they did the sharklest.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
What if he served all? You can all. He didn't
catch the shark, but they'll catch it. The shark will
probably split out the leg and then they'll they'll find
the shark, and then you can he'll go out and
find it, and then you'll have like a fish fry,
but it will be a shark fry, and you can
have like a little piece of shark and though.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
No have you you've never eaten the sharks before.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I don't like seafood and Jamy, okay, I mean only seafood. Well,
they have a lot of weird things to standing, but
the only seafood.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
I I'll go like.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Beer, battered fish sticks, tartar sauce on the side, and fries.
I'm good, that's all I need. No shrimp right off
the kids to shrimp right off the kids menu. No,
I really don't like.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
But that's why I don't swim in the ocean, to
be honest to being with living over here and.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Just like I still in that one in the ocean,
but like they're actually swimming and like surfing it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I don't know, man, I'm right there with you.
Speaker 7 (32:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
I just what I do is I walk up and
down the just put my feet in the water. That's it.
I don't go any further out, although I do go
to Hawaii. I'll swim in Hawaii because it's beautiful, tropical
and I feel like if I dye in Hawaii, I'm dying.
I'm dying in paradise, you know. If I get eaten
by his turtle or something like that, at least I'm
dying in paradise. Oh yeah, they got they got really
(32:26):
weird weird things.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Yeah, for sure, they didn't have a gray white shark.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
But it's a big different thing.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
That's like, if you survive though, think about that, the
street credit. I guess you wouldn't have street head. It
be like ocean cred. Think of the ocean cred you'd
have if you survive that.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
That would be like when you go with the ocean
you start swimming, people like, oh, that's the guy I've
been by the shark that yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Oh man, And if you were single, oh man, every
woman would be tossing their number at you. I got
all right, now, have a very good Domingo. Thank you

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
