magic of sports talk. So we stayed up all night
to provide you a fresh, piping hot podcast. And here
in our number one, we look back at the All
Star festivities to.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Fallout from that, what's really happening.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Behind closed doors? With Aaron Judge and sho Heio Tani defenders. Also,
will Major League Baseball keep the swing Off name or
will they be forced to change it because of social
media trolls?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Going forward? Wait till you hear the reason behind that.

now here. It is our number one.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Don't judge me, Brol, don't judge me.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Welcome in the beginning of another night of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air, andywhere eating the clock.
Because we are a unicorn in a zoo full of parrots,
we kind of stand out coast to coast, border, the
(01:27):
border and beyond on the vast and unrelentingly powerful microphones
of fs are and monating live from the mambo.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Do this do the Malord Mambo from the.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by Big Gregan Iowa.
And Big Regan Iowa is gonna be on the Malor
offensive line. He is my right tackle, Robbie the Mariner
fans my left tackle. And we have the top offensive
line in all of sports radio. And we will round
and pound with our offensive line. And let me tell you,
(02:03):
we got some big boys. They like this show, a
gentleman in Kansas City who makes bullets all night. Also,
we'll be on that offensive line and we will destroy
all the other sports radio shows. This portion of the
Ben Malors Show made possible in part by our friends
at tire Iraq.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
We love tire rack and they seem to love us.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
For over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers
find the right tires for.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
How, what and where they drive.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I know people like Alf the Alien Opliner and Ferg
dog Ship fast and free back by free road hazard
protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire
iraq dot com the way that tire buying should be.
So our lead this hour is from baseball.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
But Ben, there was no game.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I know that we're doing the post mortem on the
Great Escape, the great jail break of.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
The All Star Game. Now we know what happened.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We were here to documented Kyle Schwarber the fight, and
Phil was the star. He was the first ever MVP
as far as a position player to not get a
hit in the actual All Star Game and be named MVP.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
But he won the swing off.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
More on that in a minute. Game was a tie
until the swing off. Now, many nice things have been written,
many nice things have been said into microphones.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
About the Dinger party.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
You always have the end to the yang, right, you
got the end of the yang, and in this case
it would be the Komodo dragon.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
In the room.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
And the storyline continues to be the biggest stars of
baseball getting roasted for skipping town. Now, so what did
Major League Baseball do? Did you see this? Were you
paying attention? You were not paying attention. It's a bad
job by you. So they circle the wagons, is what
(03:55):
they did. Now, you always have the jocksniffers, the fan boys.
They always support the athletes out what but then you
had Aaron Judge, Shoe a Otani called out, they pulled
the great Houdini act and Abra kadabra vanished before the
thing was even over. They couldn't even stand out in
the field in their street clothes because they were on planes,
trains and automobiles.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
They were out of there, and now they were not alone.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
However, when you're the faces of baseball, you're the ones
getting roasted. And both Judge and Otani bailing out of
Atlanta like it was sheboygan before the swing off. So
baseball media elites had run around. They were doing damage control,
trying to downplay the situation. I saw a lot of
(04:41):
that in the baseball conversation.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Was none that big a deal.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
It doesn't murder, it's their vacation, it's the All Star break,
you know, give them a break.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
All that right, A lot of excuse.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Making by the people in the baseball media, the elites.
So let us discuss the question what's really happening behind
closed doors? In the story the fiasco with Aaron Judge
and sho hal Tani among the defenders, what's happening behind
closed doors? So I've got fire hydrant, storybook circus and
(05:16):
Churchill downs and we will combine all of these things together,
and we are going to make ballpark nachos in a helmet,
which you have to eat quick because if you don't
eat it quick, it gets all soggy and the chips
are chewy, and nobody wants chewy chips.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Nobody wants that. So a what's going on behind.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Closed doors is that it is a terrible look for
the powers that be in baseball.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
It's a bad look for Aaron Judge and Sho.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Halo Tani and you are the brand ambassadors of a
multi billion dollar business. Judge has a three hundred and
fifty million dollar contract with the Bronx Bombers, Otani seven
hundred million, although most of it won't be paid till
later because the People's Republic of California. But with the
Dodgers and Otani's the international man of mystery. Now, while
(06:05):
technically Baseball allowed this to happen, it was scheduled. They
had it all planned out. You don't just go down
to the airport and jump on a private plane. The
logistics of that, getting the crew and the pilot ready
to go, you have to have it all planned out.
There are limits on when planes can take off at
certain airports and whatnot. So this was all planned out
(06:27):
way in advance. It was, as we said, scheduled. So
now the people at baseball have deputized the useful, well
not really useful. They're useless, useless idiots. The people in
baseball media that are in the tank for the league,
(06:47):
the media one percenters, and they've said, listen, boys, you've
been deputized. You have to clean up our mess. And
they said, okay, that's right. Major League Baseball up the
old fire hydrant. And what did they do. They started
pumping out propaganda rather than call out the players. Rather
(07:08):
than say, hey, fellas, maybe you should just hang around
to the end of the game just in case. I'm
just saying it's one night, major League Baseball rolled out
the loyal media lap dogs to run interference queue up
the deep think piece about how it's actually noble to
leave the All Star Game early give other people the opportunity.
(07:30):
It's just an old fashioned disinformation campaign. It's all spin, spin, spin, spin, spin,
all of it. So it's the same playbook you get
in politics, right, just gaslight everybody into thinking this is okay,
it's okay. Spoiler alert, spoiler it's not it's not it's
not Major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Now.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
They want the stars to play, and for the most part,
they do play in the All Star Game, unless you're
onon soda and can't even make the All Star team.
But then Baseball all wants the star players to They
want to cater everything so they can get their nice
tropical vacation. Keep in mind, if you're a baseball player,
it's it's kind of like a teacher, except you get
(08:11):
paid a lot more money. It's worked into this scare.
It's literally baked into the schedule that you're going to
get three or four months off a year. So I
don't know what you do.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Maybe you drive a truck, maybe you work in a factory.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I do talk radio. I don't get three months off
a year. I don't get four months off.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
You do.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
You do you know anyone that gets three or four
months off a year to enjoy a nice downtime, because
I don't.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I don't get it in this job. I mean, hell,
I take a day off. You people lose your fricking mind.
You know, you send me nasty letters and correspondence on
social media. So I get that baseball is trying to
thread a needle. But the players, I don't feel bad
for the players. They live the life of Riley. They
travel in luxury, they stay at luxury hotels, and they
(08:58):
get three or four months off year. It does not
seem like hardship to me to ask them to stay
to the end of the home run derby. And so
Baseball's got one foot in, they got one foot out,
and they do the hokey pokey. So Aaron Judge and
Otani cannot be participating. They can't be participating. It can't
be bothered to participate in the swing off or even
(09:19):
stick around. But then baseball wants the fans to stick
around because it's very important for the fan to watch
the entire thing. Get all that all right now, turning
the page, I thought this next one was kind of amusing.
So there's a bit of a debate. It hasn't gained
a lot of traction yet. But the question is will
(09:39):
Major League Baseball keep the swing off, meaning the name
swing Off, or are they going to change that name
going forward? Now, keep in mind there will be some
pushback from the players Union because Aaron Judge and Otani
are getting ripped apart for leaving early the union agreed
to this format. So now some of their players are
(10:02):
getting ripped because they left early, and some of the
unons going, oh, does this mean these guys have to
stay to the end of the All Star Games?
Speaker 1 (10:09):
So there'll be some some pushback on that.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
But as far as the name thing, we bring this
up because of a grassroots campaign on the socials. The
term swing off is now under siege. Now I think
it's kind of a lame name. Anyway, we were goofing
on it. It's just a home run derby. But the
term swing off is baseball used. Now, why is it
(10:34):
under siege? Did you consume any of this? It turns
out the internet trolls, the keyboard commandos, yes, you know
who they are, digital degenerates, some.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Of them real, some of them not.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
They are now making a lot of jokes and not
just any kind of jokes about the swing off. What
do you think they're tying into the swing off? That's right,
Diddy jokes Sean Diddy Combs, right, the bad.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Boy, bad boy. What you're gonna do, What you're gonna
do when they come for you.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
So Sean Combs, who famously, we learned thanks to a
high profile trial. He did get out of most of
the charges, but not all of them. They called it.
He called it a freak off. Right, That's why I
was buying all the baby oil and all that stuff.
So that has become the punchline for the swing off.
It is a Diddy style freakough. And so you've got
(11:36):
a lot of people at baseball who don't get out
a lot, and they're very paranoid. They live in the
matrix and in the infinite wisdom of some people at
Major League Baseball, and they just have nothing but anxiety,
nothing but anxiety about being memed into some kind of
oblivion and all that. So there's some chatter they're gonna
(11:58):
change the name of the swing Off, They're gonna rebrand it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Now, this is right out.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Of the storybook circus portion of Disneyland. That's where you'll
find the Dumbo, right, Dumbo, the flying Elephant.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
So let me get this straight.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So Baseball and the people who are in the marketing
pr part of baseball are supposedly quivering, if what we're
hearing is right. They're quivering because a few degenerates made
a joke about Diddy and his party habits and compared
it to Major League Baseball and a term they used
the swing off, which is too close to the freak off.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
So okay, so I.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Have some advice, major League Baseball. Grow a spine, right,
Take the blue pill, not that bluepill. That's what did
he took. Take the other blue pill, and unplug. Right,
every time you bend to the trolls, you hand them
the blueprint.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
You should not do that. Right. In fact, when you.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Bow down to the trolls, what you do is you
allow them to redraw your lines.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
That's not feedback, that's sabotage, is what that is. And
so the play here is to ignore them, right, just
ignore them now Again, I think the name is rather stupid,
But you don't change it because it's that it's got
a connection to Diddy. Okay, that's not why you change it, right,
You don't all of a sudden said, well, wait a minute,
(13:26):
those keyboard commandos.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Are attacking us. We need to do no. I mean,
just you don't.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Need to worry about that. Okay, just unplug, turn off
the Wi Fi. You're good, all right now, last word,
we now check the report card. That's right, the report card.
So the Major League Baseball All Star Game drew an
average of seven point two million men, women, and children.
(13:52):
That was on Fox, So it's actually down. The ratings
were down three percent from last year. However, the ratings
continue side by side among all the other All Star events.
It is the most watched All Star game within the
boundaries of the industrial complex of North American sport. So question,
(14:18):
what do the ratings show you about Baseball's.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All Star Game? Like, what do they show you about
Baseball's All Star Game?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So I'll go first and you can chime in later.
So they continue actually.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Going in the wrong direction, right.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
They were down from last year, which I believe was
down from the year before, which was down.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
From the year before that.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
The claim to fame, as we mentioned, is being head
and shoulders above the other sports Basketball, NFL, and NHL,
and so that's what they're talking about. The Baseball assures
us that listen, we are the most watched All Star event,
and so this is a big deal.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And it's kind of like going down to Churchill Down.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And bragging you are the tallest jockey or you are
the fattest jockey.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
At Churchill Downs. Right now, the NBA All Star Game
is unwatchable. Pooh, all right, the NFL Pro Bowl was
so bad they got rid of it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Now they play water balloon toss and Tic tac toe,
and that drew four point seven I think they both
drew about the same rating, four point seven millions. So baseball,
which is plausibly still a game when the guys aren't
running off to the airport, the.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Amount of people watching higher higher.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
So yes, Major League Baseball, congratulations, you win the All
Star ratings race.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
But it's really a win and by default, right.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
It's like a It's like saying I won the Beauty pageant,
but nobody else showed up.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Everyone else forgot it was that day.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
I was on a Saturday. They thought it was on
a Sunday. So I showed up on Saturday. And since
nobody else show up, I am the beauty queen, right,
Major League Baseball's All Star Game.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It's it's there's something about it here where you know.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
It's it's on a giant Swan inflatable, one of those
floaty things, you know, And in the summer here you're
in the pool and you can buy from from Walmart
those giant Swan inflatables, and you just kind of laying
there and you're having a drink, and you're not really
going anywhere are really going You're kind of you're not
treading water because you're you're in the giant swan inflatable,
(16:34):
but you're not really doing much that pool. By the way,
you used to be out in the ocean. You were
out in the ocean. But now it's just a pool.
Now it's just a pool. This particular appointments, that's.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Where they are. So you know, that's the reality of
the situation. What do you think about all that?
Speaker 2 (16:53):
You can join us and we will take your calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
And there is no need to call. We don't need
any calls. We have plenty of content.
Speaker 2 (17:03):

something to say, we'll take your call at eight seven

Red Eye flights, four hour flight. We fly the Red
(17:23):
Eye every night. It's never five hour flights, never a
three hour flights, never one hour flight. There used to
be a guy at the Overnight show here years ago
who was so lazy that he would do one hour
and replay it for the other four hours and go
to bed. He got away with that for like and
I think it was like half a year. He would
just do one hour and just replay it. I mean,
(17:44):
that's like the ultimate of lazy radio. But for some reason,
we're gluttons for punishment, we stay here all four hours
on the Overnight.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
We'll have the Mallard Riddle of the Day coming up

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Milkman Mike in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Write, since it's great opening monologue, shedding a light on
the All Star Game. Their lack of enthusiasm to stay
till the end of the game makes me want to
see it as more of a skills competition and no game. Yeah,
let's see. Josh writes and says it was crazy. I
heard the music and I started singing that song before
(22:43):
it started.
Speaker 6 (22:45):
There you go, would you think that's a boys song?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Ben that one? No, I'll tell you a funny story
about that song though.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
They used to play it at Dodger Stadium, and there
was a reporter that I knew, big time reporter who
let's just say, he was very He was a very
religious man, which I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
But he didn't realize he liked the song because he
used to play it all the time at Dodger Stadium.
He didn't realize it was about, you know, chasing hookers.
He had no idea, No, he had no idea that
it was just.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Like, what, she's a hooker?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
I can't believe that like that.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
And then after that he got upset they were playing
it and supporting prostitution.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
You know, I still remember that, dude. He was very
very upset, very very upset.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
What else do we Let's see the page then, Fergduck says,
all right, Journey, that's the kind of bumper music that
keeps me listening to the show.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Stop that, Ferg Dog. Femi the number one uber eats driver.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
In he says, Ben, you are the sports one. He says,
the king of overnight radio. He says, maybe you're just
a rebel and didn't get the memo. I might not
have gotten the memo, but Femmi, you have spread this
show when you go back to your home homeland, you have.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Spread the show. And I still have that photo.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
You sent me saved on my phone when you had
the Mallard banner and all your relatives and friends there
holding it up in their pajamas. One of the great
photos I've ever received from a listener, Femi, So thank
you for that. Tacoma Drew Wrights Since says man, I
used to listen to the show.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I always thought my radio was busted.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
A plus, by the way, in the Man of Monolic,
thank you well. We get many a listener, many a
listener because they think they're their radio is broken. They
can't find anything else on Shane in des Moin right,
since says your All Star monologue was better than the
All Star Game. There were more hits in that monologue,
A plus plus plock pluck plus. He says, I'm catching
(24:50):
up on the previous pod. I'm a daylight no dollars short,
Shane in the morning, Late Night Drug Tester rights since
says must have been a misprint in that Mallard rundown.
I do not see any breakdown of the NHL schedule release.
Isn't there a quota of one hockey monologue a month
(25:11):
if you if you look at the fine print on
that Late Night dry tester, that is only during the
NHL playoffs.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
And the rare and appropriate, rare and appropriate mal of
monologue during the regular season.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
But they were the contract might stick right in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Calm down, puck boy, Uh listen in the off season.
That's why you tune into Eddie Garcia's hockey podcast whatever
that's called.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Pile.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I don't think he's doing Puck the World anymore. I
think he's only doing the pay to Play one.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (25:39):
I see the Pay to Play being updated, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think I think Eddie's uh, he's moved on and uh,
actually just I was just texting with Eddie the other day.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
We we.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
Were he was talking about boobies and unless he wasn't,
but uh, you know Eddie doesn't do that.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
But we were. We were chatting the other day.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
That was at the All Star Game. I started I'm
watching the game and I started texting people. I think
I said this on the air. I don't know what's
on the air and off there. So the other day
I started texting people during the All Star Game. I
don't go on social media much because I get you fired.
So I was just texting people and and like people
were like, I'm not watching, dude, I don't know what
you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Like, stop texting me. So I kept text I kept
going through You ever done.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
This, You go through your phone and you're trying to
find people that are like watching the thing you're watching.
And I kept going and if I just I started
texting random people and like.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Roberto was on there, he was watching, Like Roberto.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Was watching, you know, he was, he was checking it out.
I took some shots at Dave Roberts to Roberto, he
enjoyed that. He flashed back to the old days, the
bus driver they used to work on the show Nature
boy writes in answering the call to the while this
is at least U schoobl the tiger Pitcher stuck around
until the end in a nice clean shirt.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yeah yeah he had.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
He had changed into his Anthony Davis clothes, his street clothes,
and he came back into the into the stadium and
checked it out. Yeah, let's see here, Larry says, what
you're a hooker?
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I thought I was. I was doing so well with you.
That's a good, good line. Mister Irrigation has sent the
mock of the ring.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
I want to see.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
It's pretty. It's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Uh, solid's got the number one right on the front
and then the Malord names on the side. Now, I
would prefer the Malard name at the top, but I'm
okay with it, and I didn't make it. It's his ring,
and I would prefer the show name at the very
top there. But he put P one and then in
the air everywhere wrapped around it, there's a nice old
(27:40):
school microphone there. That's a good looking ring. And then
I love that he has the horse's ass on one side.
And then he's got the Mallard logo, which I think
was made. Was that Shanean de Moine that made that.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Well, listener made that. I didn't make that. I had
nothing to do with that.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Uh yeah, I think I think I have some good listeners.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah. Man, these guys are pretty pretty cool people. Man.
They take care of us absolutely.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
See all right, Well, Robbie the Merina fan has requested
this and it's kind of a mini Mallard monologue, but
it really goes out to our friend in the LBC Supermarket,
Steve and the LBC.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
So I do not watch the SBS. I don't. I don't.
The only award show I like is the Bennies because
I'm part of it. Like I don't watch the Oscars,
I don't watch the Grammys. I think it's irrelevant.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
I think the Golden Globes has been canceled a couple
of times and they keep bringing it back from the dead.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
So these things are not for me. They're not I
don't need.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
To see people play grab ass and kiss each other
on the ass and hand out awards. I think they're
about as relevant as a VCR. That's my opinion. If
you like it, good for you. We can agree to disagree.
But in twenty twenty five, I have no time to
sit around and watch people kiss each other on the
ass and hand out awards. And I don't know why
these things still get green, Like the spe thing.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
It's on a day where there's nothing athletically going on
other than summer league games, so they need something to
fill time.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
It's just filler. It's just spainest ass. And the way
I look at.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
These things is it's just a bunch of athletes trying
to read off a teleprompter.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
And so I don't need to see that.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
We had a president that tried to read off a
teleprompter for a while didn't.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Go so well for him either, So I'm good. I'm out.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
So and plus in twenty twenty five, anything good, somebody
will send you the clip. Anything good, someone will send
you the clip for example. For example, now, Shane Gillis,
I guess, was the MC of this thing.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Very funny man.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I think he's one of the top comedians we have today,
very funny.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
And I hate all new comedians.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
All my favorite comedians are dead because they were funny
when I was a kid. But Shane gillis Is, I
think he's great, very funny man. So somebody sent me
the guys. Robbie sent it as well, and he is
one of the great comics we have in America. So
Shane Gillis used one of the oldest tricks in the
comedy book, and the trick is if you say something
(29:58):
with confidence and you smile, you then allow ignorants to
take over mob mentality.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
So I don't know if we have the clipp or not.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
We might not, But Shane Gillis stepped up to the
to the microphone and he casually announced he said, four
time w NBA All Star Brittany Hicks.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
He introduced, do we have this, by the way, do
we have.
Speaker 6 (30:21):
I think I do Brittany NBA joke?
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah, here we go. That's this is this is Shane Gillis.
Take a list.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Four time w NBA All Star Brittany Hicks is here.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Give it up for Brittany. Everybody. I'm I'm joking around.
That's my friend's wife.
Speaker 5 (30:38):
I knew.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
None of you knew w NBA players.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
That is what that is an audio hatemaker. I mean
that is right to the faith.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
There are so many This is my argument with people
like Supermarket Steve and a lot of these people that
I love the w NBA all of a sudd But
you know, it's like it's virtue signaling. Fandom is what
it is, right, It's you know, people on social media
chasing cloud, pretending like they watch an entire.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
W NBA game.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
And I don't know a lot. I'm obviously not good
at radio. I've done the overnights for years. I don't
get the day shift. I do the overnight shift. But
I do know what is in the zeitgeist and what
is not. And I promise you the only thing that
moves the needle is Caitlin Clark. It's a bunch of
flotsam and jets and faceless women who are tossed out
(31:32):
there by people that don't.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Watch for it.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
And this is the example I talk about all the time.
We do broadcasting here, not narrow casting. And I don't
care how many people on social media, you know, how
excited they get, or how many how much airtime these
w NBA games get, you know, I I personally would
rather watch cornhole myself, or possibly Dodgeball.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I don't don't know, but this is my point.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
And I'm sorry to think shange Ghills might be a
fan of the old the Old Maller Show back in
the old days when we played coach player Entertainer, which
was essentially that bid. It was essentially that bid. If
you've been with the show a long time, we used
to play coach player entertainer where I would toss out
a name and I would say coach player entertainer, and
most of the time people would not under They had
(32:24):
no idea.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
And these are people that worked, they were in sports.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
They were people that were on teams, pitchers, relief pitchers,
backup basketball players, the second long snapper on the Minnesota Viking,
and people had no idea.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
People think they know, but they don't know, right. So
this is vindication for those of us that have said
all along there is no real fan base, right, it's
people virtue signaling, like you know, supermarket Steve and And
maybe at some point the WNBA will get a fan base, right,
Maybe at some point point they will. They don't have
(33:01):
it now. It's all a joke. And if if I'm
the w NBA owners, there's some rumors on the internet
that the WNBA players, who have no fans other than
Caitlin Clark, that they're going to demand more money.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Right. This is one of the internet rumors out there.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And if I'm the WNBA owners in negotiation, if it
goes to arbitration, I pull out the Shane Gillis comedy
from the I guess the SP's there and I just
play that and I just sit back and I say, well,
here's here's here's your your your audience. These are all
the biggest names in sports and entertainment and influencers and
all the people you don't want to hang out with
(33:37):
because they're a holes and they were all cheering.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Play it again. I want to hear to get played again,
playing the game. Playing again. I want to hear play again.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
Plenty tiny WNBA All Star Britney Hicks is here. Give
it up for Brittany, everybody, I'm I'm joking around. That's
my friend's wife. I knew, none of you knew. W
NBA players.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Is so good.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
The crowd goes wild and Britney Hicks, by the way,
doesn't even exist.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
That in terms of the wnp's my buddy's wife. That
is so great. Oh my god, is that hilarious? Okay, anyway,
it is the Bane Malard Show.
