Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one of the
original recipe Ben Maler Show podcast. Here in hour number
one on a Malapalooza edition, We're gonna sit download records
here on this podcast, and we have the Malard monologues
at the top of each hour, and then after that
we will knock your socks off amazing entertainment. It's a
(00:22):
three wing circus. It's equal parts variety show, freak show,
talent show circus. We've got elephants over there, tigers over there,
rhinos in the back, and it's all coming away this hour.
But here in hour one, Team USA Olympic Hoops, we'll
talk about the story there Celtics star Jalen Brown calling
out Grant Hill, the czar of Team USA, for his
(00:44):
conspiracy theory remark whose side are you on on this one?
And Steve Kerr said he felt like an idiot not
playing Jason Tatum in the Olympic opener for Team USA.
Do you believe him? While Lebron James says the Team
USA has enough firepower that they can rely on somebody
different every single game. Is that how you see it?
(01:07):
We'll talk about all of that and more right now,
on a Malapalooza kind of a night. Our opening act
will have Bennett, a comedian from the Pacific Northwest. Also
later this hour we'll have hopefully Pam. We'll check in
our defending champion. We'll have Keke drinking Steve and who
knows else who else here. It is our number one
(01:29):
of the Malapalooza the way it should have been. Welcome
in the beginning of a brand new week of the
bed Balor Show. We are in the air everywhere, fellow commoners,
as we know that every take is special and this
(01:52):
night not the same as all of the nights. More
on that in a minute. As we are hanging out
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
bast lavishly powerful microphones of fs are ammnating live as
we are on the move. We move up because the
circus is coming to town, the Mallard Palooza. We're broadcasting
(02:16):
live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free roadhazard protection and over ten thousand are recommended. In
Staller's Bourbon Badgersmen counting down ten thousand minutes to the
start of the show tyraq dot com the way tire
(02:38):
buying show be and we will have the Mallardpalooza. We
hope that our classically trained judge, Inka Terror will be
with us. He's scheduled to be with us and we'll
say hello to him coming up in a little bit.
So the way the show is gonna work, the normal
nonsense that we do. It's a little different this night,
different than all of the night, so we're not gonna
(02:58):
have the usual stuff that we do. It's all about
the Mallet Palooza. It's all about the Mallet Palooza. We'll
explain what that's about. But it's like a variety show,
freak show, talent show, all of that. But we will
have the monologues at the top of the hour, otherwise
we'll get in a hell of a lot of trouble.
We don't want that, so our lead this hour from Peri.
(03:19):
That's where we are going to begin. The curtain was
raised over the weekend, a very controversial curtain as the
Olympics began on Friday, and judging by the pulse of
the people, you're not all that excited. But one of
the sports I am excited about is the basketball. I
always liked the basketball because I remember when the Dream
(03:39):
Team came around. I was a kid and I was like, oh,
that's like the biggest thing in the world. Not the same,
not the same star dust that that team had. But
Team USA, pursuing the Gold and the American Basketball squad
had a playdate over the weekend their first Olympic game
with Nikola Jokic and the Serbs. And how did that go?
Did you watch me checking this out? Were you engaged?
(04:01):
Were you excited? Were you fired up?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Maybe not, but the often dinged up Kevin Durant, who
rarely plays basketball. He's paid as a basketball player, but
his body can't hold up. He's very fragile. So I
didn't play that much, but he was out there and
in this particular game, he painted a masterpiece. The first
half was perfection as Team USA wrapped themselves in the
(04:27):
flag and pummeled the Joker squad, and most of it
from downtown. As the Serbia team was outscored by seventeen points,
USA had a plus seventeen advantage from behind the arc
was a domination. Said you, actually, I think it was
plus twenty seven. I think I short changed tam USA
(04:48):
ten points, so I Hadink plus twenty seven. But either way,
they had a lot more points from downtown than Nicole
Jokisch's team. And since the game itself was not all
that competitive, U, I say, doing what it was supposed
to do after futzing around in these exhibition games leading
into it. You don't get flowers for doing what you're
supposed to do. You're supposed to do it, So congratulations.
(05:11):
But we had high drama filling the void from the
NBA Finals Most Valuable Player and this caught my attention.
That's a pretty good story. I like that. Guys just
won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP and the NBA Finals MVP.
Jalen Brown. If you didn't see this, perhaps you missed
Jalen Brown calling out Team USA basketballs are Grant Hill
(05:35):
in a social media tirade, saying it was quote disappointing
that Hill implied that Brown is a conspiracy theorist. Now,
if you remember the stir, we mentioned it briefly in passing.
We didn't make a big deal about a couple weeks back,
but Jalen Brown had previously appeared to call out Nike
(05:56):
that the influence of Nike was what was behind his
not being picked. Now he insinuated clearly that Team USA
is in bed looking out for a sponsor, and it's
not about putting the top team out there for Team
USA basketball. It's all about protecting the interest of the swoosh.
(06:17):
That is his essentially his comment. I think I'm nailing
that in terms of the decision to go with his
teammate on the Celtics, Derek White, who I believe whars Nikes.
Last I checked, he does, and he was chosen as
Kawhi Leonards replacement on Team USA. So let us discuss
the question Celtics star Jalen Brown calling out calling out
(06:42):
Grant Hill Team USA the conspiracy theory from Grandy He
was hinting around a conspiracy theory. Whose side are you
on on this one? So I've got chocolate chip, cookie,
butcher shop, and tablet and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to plant the landing,
(07:04):
is what we're going to do. So a I'm on
the side of Jalen Brown on this one. Am I
know a thing or two about this topic because I've
seen a thing or two over the years and just
being around and witnessing how business is done in major
conglomerates and knowing how this works. This is not our
(07:27):
first Mallard Palosa, which is coming up in a few minutes.
But it's really outlandish in some people's minds, But to me,
it's not outlandish. It's not that Nike would hand pick
as many players as they possibly can on the team.
That technically they don't get to pick the roster, but
(07:51):
if it's fifty to fifty, they have the final say.
And you always have to follow how the chocolate chip cookie,
the delicious chocolate chip cookie, how it crumbles right, follow
the pieces of the cookie. Grand Hill used the old misinformation, right,
which is code for things that you don't agree with.
That's misinformation. But it is a conspiracy theory. But is
(08:15):
it If it's true, wouldn't it be logical to think
that if Nike was the one putting all this money up,
I'm asking for a friend. By the way, they're the
one putting the money up. Grand Hill pulled the scab off.
He hinted the C word conspiracy, right, and ridicule, trying
to ridicule Jalen Brown indirectly. But we always go on
(08:38):
a case by case basis with these things, and Nike
has a long standing business relationship worth billions and billions
and billions of dollars with the Team USA folks, and
they just extended it not that long ago through twenty forty.
(08:58):
So I ain't going anywhere time soon. So you follow
the money and you follow where the checkbook is. That's
the move here, right, and does that lead to them
having the Nike people the final edit, Jalen Brown is
not under that umbrella. He's not part of Nike. He's
an outlier. In fact, I believe unless unless you's just
(09:19):
something changed in the last month or so, he's not
with anybody that he's a free agent. Jalen had been
with Adidas and that didn't last. And he's a free agent.
He doesn't have a signature shoe, which I'm surprised by
considering he won the finals MVP. He thinks somebody would
expedite that, but alas we believe, it has not happened
(09:40):
there so went in doubt side with the swoosh. Now
speaking of that, back on the Court of Sorts, on
the Court of Sourts, now coach Steve Kerr said he
is after USA won convincingly. He said he felt like
an idiot not playing the highest paid player in NBA history,
that would be Jalen Brown's teammate Jason Tatum and the
(10:04):
Olympic opener. Do you believe Steve Kerr when he says
he felt like an idiot? So I'm shaking my head
no on this one. And Steve Kerr, he's going into
to the butcher shop, He's going into the slaughterhouse there
and he's trimming the fat. And it's a vote of
no confidence. No matter what Steve Kerr says, it is
(10:26):
a vote of no confidence for Jason Tatum, and surprising
considering I believe he is a Nike guy, but Jason
Tatum was handcuffed to the bench with Tyrese Haliburton in
that first game, and he's a Jordan Brand guy, which
is like a first cousin of Nike Jason Tatum, and
(10:47):
I don't believe Steve Kerr, right, I don't believe him,
And he felt like an idiot. He felt like that
had to be done. Now, speaking of that, the last
part of this, Lebron James says that Team USA so good,
They're so amazing Team USA and Perry that there's so
they got so much power here, so much firepower, that
(11:09):
they can rely on somebody different every single every single game.
It's essentially what Lebron said, Do you agree with that?
Is that how you see it that they can do that.
So I would argue that on a tablet. If you're
looking at your tablet, you'd say, okay, yeah that makes sense.
Yeah I can plug and play this guy and that
(11:30):
guy and knock yourself out. But it's one of those
things that sounds better in theory than in reality. And
we just discussed Steve Kerr benching a couple of key players,
at least one key player in Jason Tatum, because he
knows that you cannot you cannot just roll anyone out
there and have success. And we know that players and
(11:53):
just in general, you need you need to find defined roles.
There have to be defined roles there they players perform better.
And so the idea of going helter skelter, Okay, all right,
too many chefs spoil the broth and all that stuff. Tatum,
he keeps picking up l's here. He got pinched by
Jalen Brown in the Eastern Finals and the NBA Finals,
(12:17):
and so you got to and now he gets hemorrhoids
in Game one of the Olympics, not starting and not playing,
and that's it. And Tyrese Halliburton you can understand that
a little bit more because he's not completely established established,
but the Tatum thing all right. Anyway, it is the
Ben Mahler Show. The Malor Palooza is about to begin.
(12:41):
We will have our first act. I am told our
first act is someone that has been a semi regular caller.
He is known for massive consumption of alcohol. But we'll
go over the rules and all that. We'll get into
all of the details. If you'd like to chime in
on this, you can hit us up on x at
Ben Mahlord that is at Ben Mahlor and if you
(13:04):
haven't already signed up. I think everyone's supposed to be
a way one act that according to the rundown that
I was given here, we have one act that may
not make it, that may not make it in the
final hour, but other than that, everyone should be good
to go here. So we're gonna have the Mallord Palooza
twenty twenty four. An amazing night. It's equal parts talent show,
(13:25):
it's it's part freak show. Variety show, got a little
bit of this, a little bit of that. So hopefully
you enjoy the cabaret as it is about to open
for business. Our opening act. We'll get to that and
we will do it next.

the microphones. You can follow your post on X he's

Eddie Garcia, your humble sidekicks have always agrees in your news. Guy,
you're announcer Guy. I'm at Eddie on Fox Alive from
(15:14):
the tyrat dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios on a
Mallard Palooza night.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
It's Ben Mallor. It's a big night, Eddie. Yeah, we
look forward to it every summer.
Speaker 6 (15:24):
Big night for Lorraina too, our first ever Mallard pals.
I never get your first time, Lorena.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, this is a tremendous night and we're all assembled here.
You'll be stupefied at the talent maze of our audience.
You might think we're just overnight people, we don't have
any talent because we're up all night. But no, no,
there's a lot of people that will step into the
cabaret that will entertain with all kinds of acts. In fact,
we're about to have our first act, but at some
last minute entries as well. Yes, this is people trying
(15:52):
to sneak in at the very last minute, but we
spent several weeks promoting this, telling you you had to
get in and then if something opens up, we'll put
you on there. So they're people trying to get in
here at the very last minute. But we'll go over
some of the rules and regulations. If you're new to
the show, welcome. We've been doing this. It used to
be called the Talent Show, but now it's the Mallard
Palooz has been Malapaluza for several years and we like
(16:13):
that name, so we're sticking with that name. As far
as the judging is concerned. I will be one of
the judges. My name is Ben hi Eddie, Lorena Kupe
Loop will all be judging. We have our celebrity judge
representing the great Unwashed, that would be Inca Terror, a
classically trained musician who has performed throughout the United States, France, Germany,
(16:34):
the Netherlands, countries you've never heard of as well, Russia, Taiwan,
Japan and the Pride of Peru. And he's worked at
venues such as the Great Hall of Moscow, Conservatory, the
phil Harmonic Hall in Saint Petersburg, Russia. And he's one
of our biggest fans and he's one of our judges.
Hello inca terror Ey, good evening, Hello to you inco
(16:59):
terror fired up here. You're back again as a judge
after a little bit of a hiatus, and you're back.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
I'm back. My Yankees won tonight, so I'm going to
be judging very generously.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're in a good mood. The bar is open, things are.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well, yes, exactly all right.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So each performer will have sixty seconds to two minutes
to finish their performance. We can't give you endless amounts
of time. You might think that's not a lot of time,
but being on the radio and yapping and everyone being quiet,
that's a long stretch of time.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It is.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Even sixty seconds is a long stretch of time. So
we will grade on several criteria, including entertainment value, the
quality of the performance. The extra credit will be given
to whacka doodleness, craziness and all that. And we'll have
the traditional scoring one to ten, with ten being amazing,
(17:52):
mind blowing and one being absolutely emasculating. And you are
allowed to go minus or plus points on that in
any direction on a case by case basis, but that
is up for review, and we will crown the winner
just before we get done here at six am Eastern time.
(18:13):
So on that last block of the last hour, the
hour four of the show, and the top three finalists,
we'll go to the run off the People's Choice and
we'll have voting up on X before we get the
party started. I wanted to also acknowledge our friend Jay Scoop,
who's the most decorated winner of the Malar Talent Show
(18:34):
on the Mallard Palooza and he is living abroad in
the Ukraine, has been there for a good stretch of time.
And a somber tip of the cap to Rachel and Montabella,
longtime callers to this show who passed away since our
last Mallard Palooza. We miss Rachel, lovely woman who was
very upset with us in Kata that she did not
(18:54):
win the Malard Palooza. So we want to remember her
and sweet spirit. She will be missed and she has
been missed. And the show goes on. Any opening thoughts
in kul Terror before we get to our.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
First act, take a deep breash. Don't be intimidated that
people all over the world are tuning in for this.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
We love you.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Whatever you do, yes and good luck.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And what will we do here, And I'm gonna be
very clear, we're gonna rip a lot of people, bro,
But it's tough luff, right, we're making people better. And
I follow, and I may point out, Ankertur, it's very
difficult if you're not used to this kind of thing
to perform like this. It's late at night and you're
expected to just say, hey, you're on the air. You
got to you gotta sing, you gotta do whatever you're doing,
(19:42):
and it's not that easy. So I totally get that,
and I respect the fact that you're even doing it.
You're making an effort. You're going above the other listeners
that chickened out or didn't have a talent that they
could do. So just by being on the show, that's
a big step. I would also like to thank the
company for making sure that my computer reset and updated
(20:03):
as I'm doing the mallet p loos. It's very kind.
I like to I do like the degree of difficulty.
You know, normally I come in here, you'd like to
see things working properly. But the company knows that I
am a professional and that despite everything being fed up
on the show will continue. So our our first act,
I do not see our first act is not where
(20:23):
where is our great start?
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Well again, somebody who was who's on the sign up
list and has been on hold since before the show started. Okay,
just hung ups. I don't know if that's like jitters
or if it's a connection problem. Maybe this is that
calling back.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
All right, we'll see here. We're we're really doing a
good thing here, Eddie. The first act is has not
shown up. And I did the I was gonna do
the big introduction and all that stuff. All right, Well
we have we have one of our scheduled acts ready
to go in the Q. Very exciting, all right, all right?
And our leading act here we do a little comedy.
Very difficult to do comedy like this, but we're gonna
(20:57):
see what make us last. Bet it is his name,
and he's listed as being from the San Juan Islands.
I'm not sure where that is, Bennett. Where if you're
in the Pacific Northwest? Is that right, Bennett?
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
All right, very good. So you you know the rules
and all that, and I'm just gonna shut up. You
need anything from us anything at all?
Speaker 9 (21:19):
Nope, not really other than just to quick shout out
to the the Seattle Mariners watch out for him. They're
gonna be making a world series around.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Here for zero zero for me. All right, here we go, though,
that's funny. Are gonna make joke? Okay, well, here we go, Bennett.
It was you have sixty seconds, the clock has started,
you're on your way and.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Go.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
All right?
Speaker 9 (21:46):
So I had to call Triple A to come bring
me gasoline on the side of the road. I broke down.
You know that is an embarrassing phone call, just on
the phone with some other dude, just like, hey, man,
I need help, not emotionally but physically, I need help.
I need gas for my minivan. Okay. You start to
asking me technical questions about my car, Sir? Do you
(22:09):
drive a four cylinder or a six cylinder? I was like, man,
do you even remember why I called? I need gas?
You're asking me about cylinders. I don't know. I got
four tires. Do those count of cylinders? I mean, I
don't know what you want as cylinders. Let's just put
four down for now, and if you find two more
when you get here, you know we'll switch it up. Okay,
(22:32):
so you get defence. He gets defensive. He's like, sir,
this is the standard procedure. I didn't mean to send you.
I just need to make sure we know it's you.
I'm like, all right, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
You do need to know it's me.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Well, here's a good way to find me.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Minute but one minute? You going, all right?
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Fifteen more seconds. I'm like, all right, head down the interstate.
And not to give it away, but I'm the guy
who's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's me.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
You're not going to have to chase me down out here, buddy,
I am stranded out here. I'm a fat dude in
the minivan on the side of the interstate. I need
Gasolene staff, thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
All right, Wellie, let the record show that he did
use about ninety seconds of time. And that was that
supposed to make us laugh. The Mariner joke I thought
was pretty it was. That was by far the funniest thing.
He said. All right, the boy, that's a tough one,
is it?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I think I know my Oh no, it's a tough
leadoff hitter here. Okay, yeah, I'll go up. I'm gonna
go first. Listen, he is in a tough spot. He
let off the show, and I want to be respectful.
He might have friends and family listening, So I'm gonna
give him zero. Yeah, Eddie, I was waiting for the payoff.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I was willing to let him go on the full
otmative time to get to that payoff, and then there
was no payoff.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I also will give him a zero. All right, very nice, Lorraine.
Now what do you think here, Lorraine? I just feel
like he didn't finish. Well, that's a that's a zero man,
all right, Lore also going zero Coop a loop. Look
why aside.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Need for so you have to be you have to
have some sort of bravery to lead off the talent show,
and for that I will give one point, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
One point from Coop a little. Now let's go to
a classically trained musician, our friend Inca Terror, Inka Terror.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
I agree with Justin. Just a piece of advice for
people down the line. I don't think alcohol is considered
a performance in croud.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
No, I don't know about that. On this show. You'll see,
we'll see.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, so we'll think about it.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
One one okay, So our opening act that got a
two Bennett doing comedy, which was a ninety second joke,
which I still are we still waiting for the punchline
that I think we are we got it. We didn't
get the punchline, but thank you, Bended for trying. I
appreciate your effort. And you never know, maybe you'll win
the worst member of the town. So what a great
way to start, though, I'm gonna say no on that.
(25:10):
We'll see, Okay, I'll say somebody will have somebody I
do any Wait, wait then a ninety second joke with
no punchline. Really, I'm confident someone can be worse.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Nobody can get there. That's true because you know it's
the I don't know the points that I gave for
going first. That can't happen again, obviously. Yeah, you don't
get out of points for going first. Okay, very good,
Well we have.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
We'll see our other acts that are scheduled to be
here or online maybe line six possibly, But thank you,
Bennett our opening act little comedy.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
There be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Back to the Olympics in basketball, and you may or
may not have saw this or heard about this, but
the people in France not happy with Joel Embiid of
the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Why I guess they wanted
him to play for France, which is interesting because he's
from Cameroon and because he's you know, been working and
(26:05):
living in the US. He got US citizenship, I guess
is able to play for the US. Yeah, but apparently
he was granted citizenship in France in twenty twenty two.
I'm not sure why he's never lived there. He's never
lived in France before. He's never played for that.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I know what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
When he was a little kid, he had one of
those toy Eiffel Tower things. He thought, Okay, I'm in
Well he was eligible to play for them for whatever reason,
and I guess they're pissed off that he didn't. And
so he's been booed every time he touched the ball.
When he comes into the game, when he's booed the
most hated NBA player, he said that, Remember we talked
about that most hated player. Okay, there you go. Live
(26:43):
it up to his reputation. It is the Ban Mahler show.
I thought Mallard prop guy was going to be in here,
but I don't see him. I don't seem either. He
will be here shortly. On his way, he's efforting to
be here all right, late, but worth the way. Make
sure you don't leave anything valuable gets don't leave you. Well, yeah,
you're better off parking on the street when I it's
(27:04):
never a good I pulled up to the lot I
got out of a car a while ago, and this
guy came zooming into the garage with on a bicycle
and he had like a bag, like a gym bag,
like he was looking shopping or something like that, Like
my vehicle pretty much. Yeah, my god, did you give
the security guard a heads up? I tried to, he
(27:24):
wasn't there. I walked over to the security desk and
there was a chair was empty, so I didn't like
sitting ducks didn't let him know. Yeah, this guy came
in there and he's like zooming and he looked at
me like what are you looking at? You know, like
that gave me that kind of look, you know. And
but maybe he just maybe just like said, riding his
bike in a gym bag in a parking lot. Parking
structure is a very popular place to ride your bike out.
(27:46):
It's conceivable that he wasn't just looking for trouble. I
don't know. Maybe that's just me implying that someone late
at night driving a bicycle by himself, really fast with
an empty bag, an empty gym bag that looked a
little shady, not suspicious at all. We call, you know,
Sunday night in LA. That's what we call it. You know,
it just it just happens. We'll see what happened. But unfortunately,
(28:08):
there's nothing of my car is not valuable. There's nothing
in my car that's valuable. So yeah, I mean I'm
in good shape on that mark. The walker in Rochester
says as the Malapalooza gets underway, Okay, after that first one,
I feel compelled to listen more, and he says he'll
be entering next year. Kathy in Madison smiled at Bennett
(28:29):
the Comedian's performance to begin the show. Wow, she smiled,
I think thing I will not be the worst of
the worst, all that at all. My title is over
absolutely correct on that inca terror you were there. Now
our next act has not shown up here. We had
keg drinking. Steve was supposed to be performing here, but
(28:52):
shockingly he's passed out in a gutter somewhere most likely,
so he is not here. Now we have a couple
of acts that I do not see that are on
my board here that would like to be part of this.
And now which direction do we go here, Cooper?
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Do we go?
Speaker 10 (29:07):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
One of them's the raining champ. That that is correct,
the raining champion. Well, here's some real talent now, all right,
now in Katara, you might or might not be biased here,
but you're gonna have to put your bias on the
side here in ko Terror Okay, hand.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
In the Bible. I have no idea what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, you may need to recuse himself, which is a
big word. That is a big word. All right, Well
we go down to the Pacific Northwest and a woman
that blew our socks off last year. What a talent
she is, and we welcome in Pam from Seaattle. Hello, Pam,
(29:46):
hear me, I can hear you loud and proud, and
you won last year's Malor Palooza. Pam, you have a
musical background? Is do you need it? You want to perform? Yes?
You want to do something for the show. Yes, Well
if I.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
Want to say hide Loraina, because the last time I
called it in she wasn't working that night. So I'm
so glad that I get to be on the call
and hear her lovely voice as well. But I'm going
to play for you guys now is going to be
sandwiched in between my other talent, which as Inca Terror
said that he hasn't heard caught any wind about, because
(30:22):
I did not want to bias him in any way,
even though he is a person who initiated me into
the Mala militia. But I'd like to start my two
minutes off by playing.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
The Olympic theme. Sorry, it's a great start like that.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
And the reason why I wanted to say that for
you is because I wanted to let you guys know
that I'm not a one for pony and playing the viola,
as then called, it is not my only talent. Yesterday morning,
I found out that I have an anaphylactive reaction to
being stung by bees, and I was in the ICU
(31:13):
and the er and I want to tell everybody that
I can't take any credit for this. It is by
the grace of God that I am alive and on
the call with you all tonight. But I will take
credit for having a lot of steroids in my body,
and ILL consider that to be my greatest talent of
the moment.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
In the competition, Wow, to help you perform with the viola.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
I don't know, well, you know, I mean, I know
the people in the Olympics are you know, couty their
steroids too, So hopefully, you know, I will be growing
on a less stash in the near future. But I
want to end my set by playing something that a
little birdie told me was does a favorite performer or entertainer.
I hope I'm getting it right.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
A little yeah, well, yeah, thank you. Pam. All right,
let's go to the judge's car cards. It's gonna be hard.
I mean, that's a tough act to follow right there.
I mean, she followed Bennett, which was a very easy
act to follow. But then then we had Pam all right,
so I'll go for it. Now. She is, she's in
the music game, right that she she is a professional.
She called up on her own. We didn't. We're not
(32:46):
paying her to call in here, she says, she called in.
I'm gonna go. I'll go ten Ednie. Yeah, I mean,
not only was it a wonderful performance, but she's doing it.
She's playing it hurt right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Yeah, she's coming off a very difficult situation. Even though
she may be enhanced a little bit, you know. Uh gosh,
I hate to go ten because it's.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
So early, and then don't do it any they don't
do it, you don't have to do it. We could
have above ten. You know, you could go above ten
if you want, I'll go ten, all right, ten ten?
And Lorena, Well, I must give you props because you know,
it's been Bridgerton season and the whole violin thing gives
me a lot of Bridgerton vibes. I could totally listen
to that all day. It was great for my ear holes.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
So I'm going to give you.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Putting it. Yeah, I could have actually used more of it.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, so you're saying, okay, so she didn't perform longer.
I think you should have.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Used the whole two minutes, girly, I'm going to give
you a seven point five.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh wow shots from Lorenakopo. Yeah, I mean, look, I
liked it.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
I liked the you know, it's on theme, the beginning
parts and uh little uh little little suck up to
the to the head judge there with the Johnny Cash. Yeah,
I could not pinpoint the song. But I'm not like
a huge Johnny Cash fan. I know some Johnny Cash.
I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it an eight.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I think you guys on eight? Okay, all right, so
Aid from Kooper Loop Anka Terror.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
I couldn't recognize the song either. Actually sorry, And you know,
sometimes well I don't know. I wonder if, for example,
Lebron James should be playing. You know, I thought olympicsits
for amateurs. I thought you were going to do something
a little different.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Pam, h.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
I hope you'll still play with me after this.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Eight eight?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Whoa unbelievable for me? Inca terror? Wow? All right, well
Pam feel better.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You're in the lead right now for what that's worth.
And rest up and stay away from the bees. All right?
There she goes our friend Pam, as she was our
second act the Mallor listen to our live coverage. You're
the Malor Palooza all night long. As we have two
acts so far, Bennett the comedian from the Pacific Northwest.

warming up that was not scheduled, but some people have
flaked out on us and not shown up. So we
have another act at last minute edition to the show.
So we'll get to that, and like I said, not
a normal night. Know who am I? Instant trivia things

Okay, all right, all you been gone. Okay, let's go
to the judges' score cards. Here there was a hog calling, Yeah,
what was the name of that song. I wonder what
was Yeah, he just kept repeating that over and over again.
I'll go first for you, a score of one to ten.
I'll give that. I give that a one. I'm gonna
give that a one, Eddie. Um, yeah, it wasn't. It
(38:34):
wasn't a real catchy tune. His singing ability is a
terrible questionable, so like he was making it up as
he went. It did sound like he was being creative.
I guess, just one way of looking at it, I'll
give him a.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Four a four.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Wow, very generous scoring, Loraina. Oh my gosh, I thought
you guys loved it as much as I did. I
was over here clapping the whole time. Rain, I was
totally into it.
Speaker 8 (38:55):
I thought his energy was great.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I love the raspiness of your voice. To give you
a six, A six, A six, Lorraine. Act you gave
Vola or Pam with the viola, you gave her an eight.
She's gotten a ten. She gave me all right, cool quickly,
please cool.
Speaker 5 (39:11):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (39:12):
I'm gonna give it a three, three because somehow it
was still better than the comedy act that started this
sh that is true.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Inka, real quick, ten seconds, what do you what are
you giving this score here in Kotar.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
I'm going five and I'm sorry Pam.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah, oh no, you don't need to apologize it, he said.
Oh his phone must be blown up from Pam. This
must be a problem, right, So five for Mikatar one
hour down or the Mallord paulus Ah
Here we go. Welcome. It's our number one of the
original recipe Ben Maler Show podcast. Here in hour number
one on a Malapalooza edition, We're gonna sit download records
here on this podcast, and we have the Malard monologues
at the top of each hour, and then after that
we will knock your socks off amazing entertainment. It's a
(00:22):
three wing circus. It's equal parts variety show, freak show,
talent show circus. We've got elephants over there, tigers over there,
rhinos in the back, and it's all coming away this hour.
But here in hour one, Team USA Olympic Hoops, we'll
talk about the story there Celtics star Jalen Brown calling
out Grant Hill, the czar of Team USA, for his
(00:44):
conspiracy theory remark whose side are you on on this one?
And Steve Kerr said he felt like an idiot not
playing Jason Tatum in the Olympic opener for Team USA.
Do you believe him? While Lebron James says the Team
USA has enough firepower that they can rely on somebody
different every single game. Is that how you see it?
(01:07):
We'll talk about all of that and more right now,
on a Malapalooza kind of a night. Our opening act
will have Bennett, a comedian from the Pacific Northwest. Also
later this hour we'll have hopefully Pam. We'll check in
our defending champion. We'll have Keke drinking Steve and who
knows else who else here. It is our number one
(01:29):
of the Malapalooza the way it should have been. Welcome
in the beginning of a brand new week of the
bed Balor Show. We are in the air everywhere, fellow commoners,
as we know that every take is special and this
(01:52):
night not the same as all of the nights. More
on that in a minute. As we are hanging out
coast to coast, border to border and beyond on the
bast lavishly powerful microphones of fs are ammnating live as
we are on the move. We move up because the
circus is coming to town, the Mallard Palooza. We're broadcasting
(02:16):
live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
free roadhazard protection and over ten thousand are recommended. In
Staller's Bourbon Badgersmen counting down ten thousand minutes to the
start of the show tyraq dot com the way tire
(02:38):
buying show be and we will have the Mallardpalooza. We
hope that our classically trained judge, Inka Terror will be
with us. He's scheduled to be with us and we'll
say hello to him coming up in a little bit.
So the way the show is gonna work, the normal
nonsense that we do. It's a little different this night,
different than all of the night, so we're not gonna
(02:58):
have the usual stuff that we do. It's all about
the Mallet Palooza. It's all about the Mallet Palooza. We'll
explain what that's about. But it's like a variety show,
freak show, talent show, all of that. But we will
have the monologues at the top of the hour, otherwise
we'll get in a hell of a lot of trouble.
We don't want that, so our lead this hour from Peri.
(03:19):
That's where we are going to begin. The curtain was
raised over the weekend, a very controversial curtain as the
Olympics began on Friday, and judging by the pulse of
the people, you're not all that excited. But one of
the sports I am excited about is the basketball. I
always liked the basketball because I remember when the Dream
(03:39):
Team came around. I was a kid and I was like, oh,
that's like the biggest thing in the world. Not the same,
not the same star dust that that team had. But
Team USA, pursuing the Gold and the American Basketball squad
had a playdate over the weekend their first Olympic game
with Nikola Jokic and the Serbs. And how did that go?
Did you watch me checking this out? Were you engaged?
(04:01):
Were you excited? Were you fired up?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Maybe not, but the often dinged up Kevin Durant, who
rarely plays basketball. He's paid as a basketball player, but
his body can't hold up. He's very fragile. So I
didn't play that much, but he was out there and
in this particular game, he painted a masterpiece. The first
half was perfection as Team USA wrapped themselves in the
(04:27):
flag and pummeled the Joker squad, and most of it
from downtown. As the Serbia team was outscored by seventeen points,
USA had a plus seventeen advantage from behind the arc
was a domination. Said you, actually, I think it was
plus twenty seven. I think I short changed tam USA
(04:48):
ten points, so I Hadink plus twenty seven. But either way,
they had a lot more points from downtown than Nicole
Jokisch's team. And since the game itself was not all
that competitive, U, I say, doing what it was supposed
to do after futzing around in these exhibition games leading
into it. You don't get flowers for doing what you're
supposed to do. You're supposed to do it, So congratulations.
(05:11):
But we had high drama filling the void from the
NBA Finals Most Valuable Player and this caught my attention.
That's a pretty good story. I like that. Guys just
won the Eastern Conference Finals MVP and the NBA Finals MVP.
Jalen Brown. If you didn't see this, perhaps you missed
Jalen Brown calling out Team USA basketballs are Grant Hill
(05:35):
in a social media tirade, saying it was quote disappointing
that Hill implied that Brown is a conspiracy theorist. Now,
if you remember the stir, we mentioned it briefly in passing.
We didn't make a big deal about a couple weeks back,
but Jalen Brown had previously appeared to call out Nike
(05:56):
that the influence of Nike was what was behind his
not being picked. Now he insinuated clearly that Team USA
is in bed looking out for a sponsor, and it's
not about putting the top team out there for Team
USA basketball. It's all about protecting the interest of the swoosh.
(06:17):
That is his essentially his comment. I think I'm nailing
that in terms of the decision to go with his
teammate on the Celtics, Derek White, who I believe whars Nikes.
Last I checked, he does, and he was chosen as
Kawhi Leonards replacement on Team USA. So let us discuss
the question Celtics star Jalen Brown calling out calling out
(06:42):
Grant Hill Team USA the conspiracy theory from Grandy He
was hinting around a conspiracy theory. Whose side are you
on on this one? So I've got chocolate chip, cookie,
butcher shop, and tablet and we will combine all of
these things together and we are going to plant the landing,
(07:04):
is what we're going to do. So a I'm on
the side of Jalen Brown on this one. Am I
know a thing or two about this topic because I've
seen a thing or two over the years and just
being around and witnessing how business is done in major
conglomerates and knowing how this works. This is not our
(07:27):
first Mallard Palosa, which is coming up in a few minutes.
But it's really outlandish in some people's minds, But to me,
it's not outlandish. It's not that Nike would hand pick
as many players as they possibly can on the team.
That technically they don't get to pick the roster, but
(07:51):
if it's fifty to fifty, they have the final say.
And you always have to follow how the chocolate chip cookie,
the delicious chocolate chip cookie, how it crumbles right, follow
the pieces of the cookie. Grand Hill used the old misinformation, right,
which is code for things that you don't agree with.
That's misinformation. But it is a conspiracy theory. But is
(08:15):
it If it's true, wouldn't it be logical to think
that if Nike was the one putting all this money up,
I'm asking for a friend. By the way, they're the
one putting the money up. Grand Hill pulled the scab off.
He hinted the C word conspiracy, right, and ridicule, trying
to ridicule Jalen Brown indirectly. But we always go on
(08:38):
a case by case basis with these things, and Nike
has a long standing business relationship worth billions and billions
and billions of dollars with the Team USA folks, and
they just extended it not that long ago through twenty forty.
(08:58):
So I ain't going anywhere time soon. So you follow
the money and you follow where the checkbook is. That's
the move here, right, and does that lead to them
having the Nike people the final edit, Jalen Brown is
not under that umbrella. He's not part of Nike. He's
an outlier. In fact, I believe unless unless you's just
(09:19):
something changed in the last month or so, he's not
with anybody that he's a free agent. Jalen had been
with Adidas and that didn't last. And he's a free agent.
He doesn't have a signature shoe, which I'm surprised by
considering he won the finals MVP. He thinks somebody would
expedite that, but alas we believe, it has not happened
(09:40):
there so went in doubt side with the swoosh. Now
speaking of that, back on the Court of Sorts, on
the Court of Sourts, now coach Steve Kerr said he
is after USA won convincingly. He said he felt like
an idiot not playing the highest paid player in NBA history,
that would be Jalen Brown's teammate Jason Tatum and the
(10:04):
Olympic opener. Do you believe Steve Kerr when he says
he felt like an idiot? So I'm shaking my head
no on this one. And Steve Kerr, he's going into
to the butcher shop, He's going into the slaughterhouse there
and he's trimming the fat. And it's a vote of
no confidence. No matter what Steve Kerr says, it is
(10:26):
a vote of no confidence for Jason Tatum, and surprising
considering I believe he is a Nike guy, but Jason
Tatum was handcuffed to the bench with Tyrese Haliburton in
that first game, and he's a Jordan Brand guy, which
is like a first cousin of Nike Jason Tatum, and
(10:47):
I don't believe Steve Kerr, right, I don't believe him,
And he felt like an idiot. He felt like that
had to be done. Now, speaking of that, the last
part of this, Lebron James says that Team USA so good,
They're so amazing Team USA and Perry that there's so
they got so much power here, so much firepower, that
(11:09):
they can rely on somebody different every single every single game.
It's essentially what Lebron said, Do you agree with that?
Is that how you see it that they can do that.
So I would argue that on a tablet. If you're
looking at your tablet, you'd say, okay, yeah that makes sense.
Yeah I can plug and play this guy and that
(11:30):
guy and knock yourself out. But it's one of those
things that sounds better in theory than in reality. And
we just discussed Steve Kerr benching a couple of key players,
at least one key player in Jason Tatum, because he
knows that you cannot you cannot just roll anyone out
there and have success. And we know that players and
(11:53):
just in general, you need you need to find defined roles.
There have to be defined roles there they players perform better.
And so the idea of going helter skelter, Okay, all right,
too many chefs spoil the broth and all that stuff. Tatum,
he keeps picking up l's here. He got pinched by
Jalen Brown in the Eastern Finals and the NBA Finals,
(12:17):
and so you got to and now he gets hemorrhoids
in Game one of the Olympics, not starting and not playing,
and that's it. And Tyrese Halliburton you can understand that
a little bit more because he's not completely established established,
but the Tatum thing all right. Anyway, it is the
Ben Mahler Show. The Malor Palooza is about to begin.
(12:41):
We will have our first act. I am told our
first act is someone that has been a semi regular caller.
He is known for massive consumption of alcohol. But we'll
go over the rules and all that. We'll get into
all of the details. If you'd like to chime in
on this, you can hit us up on x at
Ben Mahlord that is at Ben Mahlor and if you
(13:04):
haven't already signed up. I think everyone's supposed to be
a way one act that according to the rundown that
I was given here, we have one act that may
not make it, that may not make it in the
final hour, but other than that, everyone should be good
to go here. So we're gonna have the Mallord Palooza
twenty twenty four. An amazing night. It's equal parts talent show,
(13:25):
it's it's part freak show. Variety show, got a little
bit of this, a little bit of that. So hopefully
you enjoy the cabaret as it is about to open
for business. Our opening act. We'll get to that and
we will do it next.

any talent because we're up all night. But no, no,
there's a lot of people that will step into the
cabaret that will entertain with all kinds of acts. In fact,
we're about to have our first act, but at some
last minute entries as well. Yes, this is people trying
(15:52):
to sneak in at the very last minute, but we
spent several weeks promoting this, telling you you had to
get in and then if something opens up, we'll put
you on there. So they're people trying to get in
here at the very last minute. But we'll go over
some of the rules and regulations. If you're new to
the show, welcome. We've been doing this. It used to
be called the Talent Show, but now it's the Mallard
Palooz has been Malapaluza for several years and we like
(16:13):
that name, so we're sticking with that name. As far
as the judging is concerned. I will be one of
the judges. My name is Ben hi Eddie, Lorena Kupe
Loop will all be judging. We have our celebrity judge
representing the great Unwashed, that would be Inca Terror, a
classically trained musician who has performed throughout the United States, France, Germany,
(16:34):
the Netherlands, countries you've never heard of as well, Russia, Taiwan,
Japan and the Pride of Peru. And he's worked at
venues such as the Great Hall of Moscow, Conservatory, the
phil Harmonic Hall in Saint Petersburg, Russia. And he's one
of our biggest fans and he's one of our judges.
Hello inca terror Ey, good evening, Hello to you inco
(16:59):
terror fired up here. You're back again as a judge
after a little bit of a hiatus, and you're back.
Speaker 7 (17:06):
I'm back. My Yankees won tonight, so I'm going to
be judging very generously.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You're in a good mood. The bar is open, things are.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Well, yes, exactly all right.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So each performer will have sixty seconds to two minutes
to finish their performance. We can't give you endless amounts
of time. You might think that's not a lot of time,
but being on the radio and yapping and everyone being quiet,
that's a long stretch of time.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
It is.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Even sixty seconds is a long stretch of time. So
we will grade on several criteria, including entertainment value, the
quality of the performance. The extra credit will be given
to whacka doodleness, craziness and all that. And we'll have
the traditional scoring one to ten, with ten being amazing,
(17:52):
mind blowing and one being absolutely emasculating. And you are
allowed to go minus or plus points on that in
any direction on a case by case basis, but that
is up for review, and we will crown the winner
just before we get done here at six am Eastern time.
(18:13):
So on that last block of the last hour, the
hour four of the show, and the top three finalists,
we'll go to the run off the People's Choice and
we'll have voting up on X before we get the
party started. I wanted to also acknowledge our friend Jay Scoop,
who's the most decorated winner of the Malar Talent Show
(18:34):
on the Mallard Palooza and he is living abroad in
the Ukraine, has been there for a good stretch of time.
And a somber tip of the cap to Rachel and Montabella,
longtime callers to this show who passed away since our
last Mallard Palooza. We miss Rachel, lovely woman who was
very upset with us in Kata that she did not
(18:54):
win the Malard Palooza. So we want to remember her
and sweet spirit. She will be missed and she has
been missed. And the show goes on. Any opening thoughts
in kul Terror before we get to our.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
First act, take a deep breash. Don't be intimidated that
people all over the world are tuning in for this.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
We love you.
Speaker 7 (19:18):
Whatever you do, yes and good luck.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
And what will we do here, And I'm gonna be
very clear, we're gonna rip a lot of people, bro,
But it's tough luff, right, we're making people better. And
I follow, and I may point out, Ankertur, it's very
difficult if you're not used to this kind of thing
to perform like this. It's late at night and you're
expected to just say, hey, you're on the air. You
got to you gotta sing, you gotta do whatever you're doing,
(19:42):
and it's not that easy. So I totally get that,
and I respect the fact that you're even doing it.
You're making an effort. You're going above the other listeners
that chickened out or didn't have a talent that they
could do. So just by being on the show, that's
a big step. I would also like to thank the
company for making sure that my computer reset and updated
(20:03):
as I'm doing the mallet p loos. It's very kind.
I like to I do like the degree of difficulty.
You know, normally I come in here, you'd like to
see things working properly. But the company knows that I
am a professional and that despite everything being fed up
on the show will continue. So our our first act,
I do not see our first act is not where
(20:23):
where is our great start?
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Well again, somebody who was who's on the sign up
list and has been on hold since before the show started. Okay,
just hung ups. I don't know if that's like jitters
or if it's a connection problem. Maybe this is that
calling back.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
All right, we'll see here. We're we're really doing a
good thing here, Eddie. The first act is has not
shown up. And I did the I was gonna do
the big introduction and all that stuff. All right, Well
we have we have one of our scheduled acts ready
to go in the Q. Very exciting, all right, all right?
And our leading act here we do a little comedy.
Very difficult to do comedy like this, but we're gonna
(20:57):
see what make us last. Bet it is his name,
and he's listed as being from the San Juan Islands.
I'm not sure where that is, Bennett. Where if you're
in the Pacific Northwest? Is that right, Bennett?
Speaker 9 (21:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
All right, very good. So you you know the rules
and all that, and I'm just gonna shut up. You
need anything from us anything at all?
Speaker 9 (21:19):
Nope, not really other than just to quick shout out
to the the Seattle Mariners watch out for him. They're
gonna be making a world series around.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Here for zero zero for me. All right, here we go, though,
that's funny. Are gonna make joke? Okay, well, here we go, Bennett.
It was you have sixty seconds, the clock has started,
you're on your way and.
Speaker 10 (21:44):
Go.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
All right?
Speaker 9 (21:46):
So I had to call Triple A to come bring
me gasoline on the side of the road. I broke down.
You know that is an embarrassing phone call, just on
the phone with some other dude, just like, hey, man,
I need help, not emotionally but physically, I need help.
I need gas for my minivan. Okay. You start to
asking me technical questions about my car, Sir? Do you
(22:09):
drive a four cylinder or a six cylinder? I was like, man,
do you even remember why I called? I need gas?
You're asking me about cylinders. I don't know. I got
four tires. Do those count of cylinders? I mean, I
don't know what you want as cylinders. Let's just put
four down for now, and if you find two more
when you get here, you know we'll switch it up. Okay,
(22:32):
so you get defence. He gets defensive. He's like, sir,
this is the standard procedure. I didn't mean to send you.
I just need to make sure we know it's you.
I'm like, all right, that's fair.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
You do need to know it's me.
Speaker 9 (22:42):
Well, here's a good way to find me.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Minute but one minute? You going, all right?
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Fifteen more seconds. I'm like, all right, head down the interstate.
And not to give it away, but I'm the guy
who's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That's me.
Speaker 9 (22:58):
You're not going to have to chase me down out here, buddy,
I am stranded out here. I'm a fat dude in
the minivan on the side of the interstate. I need
Gasolene staff, thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
All right, Wellie, let the record show that he did
use about ninety seconds of time. And that was that
supposed to make us laugh. The Mariner joke I thought
was pretty it was. That was by far the funniest thing.
He said. All right, the boy, that's a tough one,
is it?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
I think I know my Oh no, it's a tough
leadoff hitter here. Okay, yeah, I'll go up. I'm gonna
go first. Listen, he is in a tough spot. He
let off the show, and I want to be respectful.
He might have friends and family listening, So I'm gonna
give him zero. Yeah, Eddie, I was waiting for the payoff.
Speaker 6 (23:48):
I was willing to let him go on the full
otmative time to get to that payoff, and then there
was no payoff.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I also will give him a zero. All right, very nice, Lorraine.
Now what do you think here, Lorraine? I just feel
like he didn't finish. Well, that's a that's a zero man,
all right, Lore also going zero Coop a loop. Look
why aside.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Need for so you have to be you have to
have some sort of bravery to lead off the talent show,
and for that I will give one point, okay.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
One point from Coop a little. Now let's go to
a classically trained musician, our friend Inca Terror, Inka Terror.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
I agree with Justin. Just a piece of advice for
people down the line. I don't think alcohol is considered
a performance in croud.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
No, I don't know about that. On this show. You'll see,
we'll see.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, so we'll think about it.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
One one okay, So our opening act that got a
two Bennett doing comedy, which was a ninety second joke,
which I still are we still waiting for the punchline
that I think we are we got it. We didn't
get the punchline, but thank you, Bended for trying. I
appreciate your effort. And you never know, maybe you'll win
the worst member of the town. So what a great
way to start, though, I'm gonna say no on that.
(25:10):
We'll see, Okay, I'll say somebody will have somebody I
do any Wait, wait then a ninety second joke with
no punchline. Really, I'm confident someone can be worse.
Speaker 8 (25:20):
Nobody can get there. That's true because you know it's
the I don't know the points that I gave for
going first. That can't happen again, obviously. Yeah, you don't
get out of points for going first. Okay, very good,
Well we have.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
We'll see our other acts that are scheduled to be
here or online maybe line six possibly, But thank you,
Bennett our opening act little comedy.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
There be sure to catch live editions of The Ben
Meller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (25:44):
Back to the Olympics in basketball, and you may or
may not have saw this or heard about this, but
the people in France not happy with Joel Embiid of
the Philadelphia seventy six ers. Why I guess they wanted
him to play for France, which is interesting because he's
from Cameroon and because he's you know, been working and
(26:05):
living in the US. He got US citizenship, I guess
is able to play for the US. Yeah, but apparently
he was granted citizenship in France in twenty twenty two.
I'm not sure why he's never lived there. He's never
lived in France before. He's never played for that.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I know what it is.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
When he was a little kid, he had one of
those toy Eiffel Tower things. He thought, Okay, I'm in
Well he was eligible to play for them for whatever reason,
and I guess they're pissed off that he didn't. And
so he's been booed every time he touched the ball.
When he comes into the game, when he's booed the
most hated NBA player, he said that, Remember we talked
about that most hated player. Okay, there you go. Live
(26:43):
it up to his reputation. It is the Ban Mahler show.
I thought Mallard prop guy was going to be in here,
but I don't see him. I don't seem either. He
will be here shortly. On his way, he's efforting to
be here all right, late, but worth the way. Make
sure you don't leave anything valuable gets don't leave you. Well, yeah,
you're better off parking on the street when I it's
(27:04):
never a good I pulled up to the lot I
got out of a car a while ago, and this
guy came zooming into the garage with on a bicycle
and he had like a bag, like a gym bag,
like he was looking shopping or something like that, Like
my vehicle pretty much. Yeah, my god, did you give
the security guard a heads up? I tried to, he
(27:24):
wasn't there. I walked over to the security desk and
there was a chair was empty, so I didn't like
sitting ducks didn't let him know. Yeah, this guy came
in there and he's like zooming and he looked at
me like what are you looking at? You know, like
that gave me that kind of look, you know. And
but maybe he just maybe just like said, riding his
bike in a gym bag in a parking lot. Parking
structure is a very popular place to ride your bike out.
(27:46):
It's conceivable that he wasn't just looking for trouble. I
don't know. Maybe that's just me implying that someone late
at night driving a bicycle by himself, really fast with
an empty bag, an empty gym bag that looked a
little shady, not suspicious at all. We call, you know,
Sunday night in LA. That's what we call it. You know,
it just it just happens. We'll see what happened. But unfortunately,
(28:08):
there's nothing of my car is not valuable. There's nothing
in my car that's valuable. So yeah, I mean I'm
in good shape on that mark. The walker in Rochester
says as the Malapalooza gets underway, Okay, after that first one,
I feel compelled to listen more, and he says he'll
be entering next year. Kathy in Madison smiled at Bennett
(28:29):
the Comedian's performance to begin the show. Wow, she smiled,
I think thing I will not be the worst of
the worst, all that at all. My title is over
absolutely correct on that inca terror you were there. Now
our next act has not shown up here. We had
keg drinking. Steve was supposed to be performing here, but
(28:52):
shockingly he's passed out in a gutter somewhere most likely,
so he is not here. Now we have a couple
of acts that I do not see that are on
my board here that would like to be part of this.
And now which direction do we go here, Cooper?
Speaker 5 (29:07):
Do we go?
Speaker 10 (29:07):
Well?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
One of them's the raining champ. That that is correct,
the raining champion. Well, here's some real talent now, all right,
now in Katara, you might or might not be biased here,
but you're gonna have to put your bias on the
side here in ko Terror Okay, hand.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
In the Bible. I have no idea what she's doing.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Okay, you may need to recuse himself, which is a
big word. That is a big word. All right, Well
we go down to the Pacific Northwest and a woman
that blew our socks off last year. What a talent
she is, and we welcome in Pam from Seaattle. Hello, Pam,
(29:46):
hear me, I can hear you loud and proud, and
you won last year's Malor Palooza. Pam, you have a
musical background? Is do you need it? You want to perform? Yes?
You want to do something for the show. Yes, Well
if I.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
Want to say hide Loraina, because the last time I
called it in she wasn't working that night. So I'm
so glad that I get to be on the call
and hear her lovely voice as well. But I'm going
to play for you guys now is going to be
sandwiched in between my other talent, which as Inca Terror
said that he hasn't heard caught any wind about, because
(30:22):
I did not want to bias him in any way,
even though he is a person who initiated me into
the Mala militia. But I'd like to start my two
minutes off by playing.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
The Olympic theme. Sorry, it's a great start like that.
Speaker 11 (30:52):
And the reason why I wanted to say that for
you is because I wanted to let you guys know
that I'm not a one for pony and playing the viola,
as then called, it is not my only talent. Yesterday morning,
I found out that I have an anaphylactive reaction to
being stung by bees, and I was in the ICU
(31:13):
and the er and I want to tell everybody that
I can't take any credit for this. It is by
the grace of God that I am alive and on
the call with you all tonight. But I will take
credit for having a lot of steroids in my body,
and ILL consider that to be my greatest talent of
the moment.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
In the competition, Wow, to help you perform with the viola.
Speaker 11 (31:36):
I don't know, well, you know, I mean, I know
the people in the Olympics are you know, couty their
steroids too, So hopefully, you know, I will be growing
on a less stash in the near future. But I
want to end my set by playing something that a
little birdie told me was does a favorite performer or entertainer.
I hope I'm getting it right.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
A little yeah, well, yeah, thank you. Pam. All right,
let's go to the judge's car cards. It's gonna be hard.
I mean, that's a tough act to follow right there.
I mean, she followed Bennett, which was a very easy
act to follow. But then then we had Pam all right,
so I'll go for it. Now. She is, she's in
the music game, right that she she is a professional.
She called up on her own. We didn't. We're not
(32:46):
paying her to call in here, she says, she called in.
I'm gonna go. I'll go ten Ednie. Yeah, I mean,
not only was it a wonderful performance, but she's doing it.
She's playing it hurt right. Yeah.
Speaker 6 (32:59):
Yeah, she's coming off a very difficult situation. Even though
she may be enhanced a little bit, you know. Uh gosh,
I hate to go ten because it's.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
So early, and then don't do it any they don't
do it, you don't have to do it. We could
have above ten. You know, you could go above ten
if you want, I'll go ten, all right, ten ten?
And Lorena, Well, I must give you props because you know,
it's been Bridgerton season and the whole violin thing gives
me a lot of Bridgerton vibes. I could totally listen
to that all day. It was great for my ear holes.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
So I'm going to give you.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Putting it. Yeah, I could have actually used more of it.
Speaker 5 (33:35):
You know.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Oh, so you're saying, okay, so she didn't perform longer.
I think you should have.
Speaker 8 (33:40):
Used the whole two minutes, girly, I'm going to give
you a seven point five.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Oh wow shots from Lorenakopo. Yeah, I mean, look, I
liked it.
Speaker 8 (33:50):
I liked the you know, it's on theme, the beginning
parts and uh little uh little little suck up to
the to the head judge there with the Johnny Cash. Yeah,
I could not pinpoint the song. But I'm not like
a huge Johnny Cash fan. I know some Johnny Cash.
I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it an eight.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
I think you guys on eight? Okay, all right, so
Aid from Kooper Loop Anka Terror.
Speaker 7 (34:16):
I couldn't recognize the song either. Actually sorry, And you know,
sometimes well I don't know. I wonder if, for example,
Lebron James should be playing. You know, I thought olympicsits
for amateurs. I thought you were going to do something
a little different.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
Pam, h.
Speaker 7 (34:38):
I hope you'll still play with me after this.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
Eight eight?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Whoa unbelievable for me? Inca terror? Wow? All right, well
Pam feel better.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
You're in the lead right now for what that's worth.
And rest up and stay away from the bees. All right?
There she goes our friend Pam, as she was our
second act the Mallor listen to our live coverage. You're
the Malor Palooza all night long. As we have two
acts so far, Bennett the comedian from the Pacific Northwest.
(35:11):

and we will expand our reach. We have another act
warming up that was not scheduled, but some people have
flaked out on us and not shown up. So we
have another act at last minute edition to the show.
So we'll get to that, and like I said, not
a normal night. Know who am I? Instant trivia things
(35:32):
like that. Those will return tomorrow. But we'll have more
of the Mallard Palooza twenty twenty four. We'll get to it.
We will do it next.

give that a one, Eddie. Um, yeah, it wasn't. It

terrible questionable, so like he was making it up as

I guess, just one way of looking at it, I'll
give him a.

Four a four.
