Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's ourn Bert to we head to
the state of Ohio where Donovan Mitchell the Spider has
agreed to a one hundred and fifty million dollar contract
extension with the Calves. Does this end the rumor o
rama around Donovan Mitchell? Also, how come Klay Thompson asked
(00:24):
Stephen Curry not not to influence the Warriors contract talks?
And Raymond Green has chimed in. The podcaster says Paul
George wanted to come to the Warriors, but the Clippers
did not want to send him there. How much stalk
do you put in that? We'll get to that and
a whole lot more right now here. It is our
number two A mild mild surprise. Welcome in the beginning
(00:52):
of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, shouldered shoulder as we tackle the
burning issues burn Baby, burn, Coast, duck coast, border, the
border and beyond. On the vast and groovily powerful microphones
(01:13):
of FSR, amminating live from the moles, we play the
number one audio game of Whack a mole. Coast, stuck, coast,
and border, the border and all around. We're broadcasting live
from the tire rac dot com studios. Tyraq dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:35):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyract dot com. The way tire buying should be.
That's what Cowboy Drew says. He agrees with that slogan,
that's the way tire buying should be. So our lead
this hour, I'm gonna go back to the well one
more time. I'm not doing three pro bouncy Ball monologues,
(01:55):
but this is number two. And there's a story that
we have talked about a couple of times over the
last few months, and there's an update in the pro
bouncy ball world. So we go where the news of
the day takes and that would be Cleveland, Northern Ohio
and Holy Ohio. Al Batman, Well, here's the deal. Maybe
(02:17):
you saw this, maybe not Donovan Mitchell at one time
a big deal for the Utah Jazz. Donovan Mitchell has
agreed to stay with the Cadavers sinking ship as he
has a handshake agreement and I think everything's pretty much
doc you signed at this point. So three year contract
extension and how much will it cost the Cleveland pro
(02:40):
bouncy Ball team one hundred and fifty point three million shekels.
That's a lot of pesos, with the final year being
a player option, so it's a two year agreement and
then if Donovan Mitchell feels like Stan he'll stay, or
if he can get more money, he'll just leave and
get more money somewhere else. So this move comes after months.
(03:03):
I'm not exaggerating when I say months. This goes over
a year where Donovan Mitchell. The chatter was from people
around Spider Mitchell is that he did not like that web.
He wanted another web, and he wanted out there, did
not want to stay in Ohio. And Mitchell then but
he posted a video. You might have seen it, unless
(03:25):
you're blind, maybe you didn't see it. So the scene
from The Wolf of wall Street, one of the last
movies I enjoyed, The Wolf of wall Street. He posted
this on these socials to celebrate the announcement, with Leonardo
DiCaprio's character Jordan Belford saying I'm not effing leaving wells quote.
(03:46):
So let us discuss the question here. Donovan Mitchell agreed
to one hundred and fifty million in a contract extension
with Cleveland? Does this end the rumor? O rama? So
the way I look at it, I got legal ease,
LA Scala and quantum physics, and we'll put all these
(04:11):
things together and we are going to make a fresh
pipe and hot apple pie is what we're gonna make.
So number wa to answer the question, does this extension
by Donovan Mitchell with the Calves does it end the rumors? No? No,
(04:34):
a police, I give that thought side eye. I do
because you have to look at this through the eyes
of cynicism. And here's why. All right, if you read
the legal ease, you got to read the legalese. Certain
restrictions apply, right, certain restrictions by blackout periods of availability
(04:55):
for Donovan Mitchell, and everything is subject to change, especially
in that business. So if you want to be naive
and a low information fan said, well, that's it. He
agreed to the deal, he got the contract, He's never
leaving this is it. He loves it here and that
is his motivation because he always dreamed of playing for
the cadavers, and here he is, unless that's not true.
(05:22):
For roughly eighteen months, there were stories being a league
to people like yours truly from those that share the
same zip code with Donovan Mitchell, and they were whispering,
he's not happy, he doesn't like it there. He wants
(05:42):
to go somewhere else and in that voice, he didn't
like it, he wanted to go elsewhere, and a lot
of pouting, and there was supposedly plotting that he wanted
to play for the Lakers and that even though he's
from the northeast of New York and people I thought
he's gonna go to the Knicks, is you want to
go to La So for now, in this moment, in
(06:04):
this moment, we hit the pause button. So I on that. Yeah,
I was okay, hit the basman. But all we need
is one bad month of pro bouncy ball from the
Cleveland team, just one month of el Stinko. And if
that happens, and we know at some point it will,
then the plot will thicken and things will change, and say, well,
(06:30):
I know I got the contract man, you can't really
trade me right now. But when I can't be traded,
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, yeah, so, uh, one
month of bad baseball and then abracadabra hocus Pocus pressed
down that the band will start up again, and agreeing
(06:53):
to the deal was a business decision. It's a business decision,
and we've learned over the years that while money cannot
buy you happiness, I do believe that money cannot buy
you happeness, it does bring you more enjoyment, at least
a more enjoyable form of misery if you're a miserable person.
Now page two we go to the Boogie Down Bay area.
(07:17):
I'm old enough to remember when the Warriors had a dynasty.
It's been a while, but it's officially over now. Klay Thompson,
who was washed up anyway, he's gone. We have the
post mortem on Clay heading to Dallas. I did get
an email from a very angry Mavreck fan who did
not like that I pointed out that Clay Thompson was
(07:39):
the Booby Prize of free agency. Was offended by that
and demanded an apology. Clearly someone that doesn't get the
industrial complex of the hot take anyway. So we are
told now that Klay Thompson of the mav Res had
asked his fellow splashy friend, Stephen Curry, to not to
(08:00):
not exert his power, his influence, his Spengali effect, over
Joe Lacob, the owner there, and force the team to
offer Klay Thompson more money to keep the band together.
According to the story bouncing around the Echo Chamber, Clay
wanted the Warriors to do right on their own without
(08:23):
being told to do right to them to take care
of him. So questioning on this one, how come Klay Thompson?
How come Klay Thompson asked Stephen Curry to not influence
the Warriors ownership and contract talks. So this part of it.
As I was driving in the long winding road, a
(08:44):
lot of fireworks. This week's been a good firework a
week driving in see a lot of firework shows for free,
just driving. Maybe you do too. So this is standard
NBA chow standard Nbahhow Clay is visiting Lascala is what
he's doing here. That's an Italian famous Italian opera house
(09:04):
as the Prima Donna. In this story, following the rule
of drama, which you are required when you enter the
association to follow the rule of drama, things are much
more drawn out under the rule of drama. They're much
more messier than they should be, unpredictable, it's much more
complicated than it needs to be the rule of drama.
(09:25):
And so Clay wanted Golden State Ownership to sing a
classic Fleetwood mactoon say you love me, show me the money.
That last part was a quote from an old movie.
But they punted. They said, no, Mos, we're good, go
go oh for ten in Dallas, and we hope you
(09:47):
do it against our team in the playoffs and enjoy
your cowboy boots. So that's how that ended. And if
Steph Curry had gone to ownership, would they have offered
more money. Probably a little more money. It's normally how
that works, the hierarchy, the totem poll in the NBA.
All right, now, a final point quickly, a story that
(10:10):
comes from a podcast or I guess this guy's now
qualified to coach if he does a podcast with Lebron
the coach the Lakers, Draymond Green, and he had some commentary.
He says that Paul George of the Sixers wanted to
come to the Warriors. Say what yeah? In Draymond's warped mind,
(10:31):
he says that the Clippers did not want to send Clay,
to send Paul George rather not Clary Tommy. The Warriors
did not want to send Paul George to the Clipper,
from the Clippers to the Warriors. There'll be a test
on this later. He said that they could not agree
to a deal because the Clippers would not do business.
That's what the implication was. They would not do business
(10:54):
with the people's team. The Warriors and the Clippers were
just not on the same So the question if this
is true, we'll just assume it is for a moment.
This is what Draymond Green is peddling for engagement, farming
that Paul George wanted to play in the Bay Area,
the Clippers would not do business with the Warriors didn't
(11:15):
want to send him there. So how much stalk do
you give this particular report? So, Draymond, on this one,
he is serving pie, not apple pie, not cherry pie,
not banana cream pie. Porky pie, a porky pie of
the lie is what he's doing on this one. Draymond disingenuous, disingenuous.
(11:40):
He's repeating, parroting the company line, is what he's doing.
And I look at this story like quantum physics. Okay,
there are two versions of reality, and quantum physics, there's
two versions of reality that can't exist at the same
exact time that look it up. I'm not making that
so from what I have heard, boots on the ground
(12:01):
who may or may not be associated with the People's team,
they may think it's hip to Clip or maybe they don't.
But here's what I'm hearing that while it is true
that Paul George would have preferred to stay on the
West Coast and did have interest in playing for the
Golden State Warriors, ultimately it was the full max money
(12:22):
that he wanted and he wasn't pushing for a trade
to the Warriors. He'd realized he could get the contract
from the Sixers, and so he was fine doing that
because it was not about winning. He didn't go to
Philadelphia to win. He went there because they offered him
more money than anywhere anyone else out there, and that
ultimately was the deciding factor. So you can say the
(12:45):
Clippers would have should have They could have traded Paul
George the Wars. There's another turn in the punch bowl
on this story, and Draymond Green conveniently left this out.
I didn't see it if he said it, I didn't
see it as a little podcast there. So well, the part
of the story he left out is that the Clippers
to even engage the Warriors in the trade, Golden State
(13:07):
had to pay the cover fee. They were unwilling to
pay the cover fee, the price of admission to get
in on Paul George. Golden State rejected sending Jonathan Kaminga
to the People's team. And so if they had offered
him in the trade some combination of players and he
was the centerpiece, then Clippers would have been more open
to that. Like everyone else, they know that Paul George
(13:30):
is about to be washed up, and he's a malingerer,
misses a lot of time, doesn't make shots in big
games very often, and so those are all not qualities
that you're worried about if he were to go to
a team like Golden State. But ultimately, when the Warriors
were presented with that, say hey, do you want Paul George,
You've got to pay the admission fee, the cover fee
here and that's Kaminga, And so the Warriors said no bueno,
(13:51):
and that was it. It is the Ben Maller Show.

Speaker 7 (18:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, I like how I like how
you phrased that. That's very nice.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I know I'm with Groesbeck personally, so I'm not supposed
to say personal stuff about people on the radio, I
don't think. But my sister's blind and with Grossbeck has
a family member who's blind, so like it's pretty all
this stuff in the news has been like really exciting,
like with some self experience sold Like, oh, I got
to tell you two weeks ago, I prank called Michael
(18:35):
Felder's show right after.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The pro well I heard about that. They didn't know
what to do with you, didn't help on you.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
After, he goes, I don't like Helme's feeling right now,
and then they went right to commrection. He goes, I
don't like how this person just made me feel. I
thought that was so funny.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
How did you prank him? What did you do? Did
you make him feel bad about the blind community? What
did you do?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I did, Actually I said, like the parade, wasn't it
sensible for the buy? And then I started complaining about
outdoor dining and rich restaurant owners.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You've had a problem with outdoor dining on the North End.
Wh there's not enough room for outdoor dining on the
North End.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I got the.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Question for you think the police can listen to my
phone calls? They're trying to surveil someone outside my apartment,
and even Shaye when I called, you could hear it
going beat beef, like somebody was trying to listen in
on my phone call. I don't know if that's a
real thing, but they've been. They've been getting that's what.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's what people who do a lot of different exotic
drugs and are paranoid thing.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
But no, they've been.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
But no, they've been lowering people behind my building back here,
and when they show up, they beat the crap out
of them and rob them and it's all like through
like pretending that they're sex workers.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
So there is some shady business.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Going on right, like an old school mob movie.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, those same people are in Vegas. I
had a problem with the mean Greek because it wasn't
on the strip, But it looks like we can stay
like right next to the place. So I mean, I'm
pretty excited about this.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
I got it.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
But the thing is, like I I'm bringing like civilians
with me that I related to the show. So if
people try to attack me, I have to act differently,
like I have to act calm with like a calm
demean you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, you do not want to have criminal charges in Nevada.
That would be difficult.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I don't want to end up. Yeah, I could end
up like that rap guy Tupac too.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I think I think you're okay where we don't have
any violence at these things. We just we just shoot
the crap. That's all we did.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Well, Coop no Coop through.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
He made me nervous. He's like, are you afraid to come?
And I wasn't thinking about it whatsoever. And then I'm like, well,
it's cool.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You're fine. No one's gonna mess with you. People talk,
people talk tough online. You know that, Scott.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But yeah, you know how it is. It's been on
the radio. I've known you for twenty years. My uh
my college roommate was from the same town as you.
That's all he got, you know, introduced to in the
first place.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, I remember when you played blind baseball. That was
very exciting. We did the breakdown on the blind baseball
they were playing. You know, do you know that, Lorenda,
there's blind baseball. It sounds danger has been Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
They got a team in stock in California, they got
one in Oregon.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Do you see the balls?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Oh, you don't you even wear a blindfold?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You hear them, there's a beep, it's like beeping balls.
The balls beyond.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
It's not even it's a cadence. So you swing to
a cadence. They say one, two or three pitch and
then you swing and then the picture at the picture
right down the pipe.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Get up.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I thought you said the fielders.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
That's for the fielders. When it gets into the field,
it doesn't play with the pitch, it doesn't come in
with the picture. Imagine that if you could hit.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The ball, they should do that. For the athletics, they
should have a beeping ball so they know how to
field it. That would help them out. They're pretty bad.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Ben, I think you've got a good chance on getting
on one of these major league broadcasts.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Now.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
They got like Jared Carabas is doing one, Keith mcpers
and all these radio people. They should put you on
the Angels broadcasts as the colored guy. It would bring
all your listeners.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I agree, that's a great idea. My time has come now.
I should be doing major league games on radio a time. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
They're kind to save a lot of money too, so
you'd be perfect for that because.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You Yeah, I get him a deal, man, I pennies
on the dollar. That's how I operate here.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I what what about like Danny g made this comment
that the WNBA lost fifty million dollars, and then I
see the Celtics's lout the money. So nobody's making any money,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
How the Celthies losing money? They're gonna sell for five
point one billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
But the problem with WNB. I know you like the WNBC.
You would probably say nasty things about me online. But
the WNB has been it's been subsidized by the NBA.
Otherwise it would have been out of business twenty years ago.
It's never made money. It's well, yeah, that's why they
do it. I gotta I gotta go, thank you. Let's
say he lo to Oh boy, dad gummet.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Wait, I'll tell you what this services. Hell tonight, boys,
it's three times I'm calling the show. I'm bout ready
take his phone and throw it out with out down
through here.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Can you do that on the air? Can you throw
the phone out the window on the air, right now,
on the live air? What what road are you on
in Arkansas? I want to document exactly right now. I
would like you to just have a breakdown and chuck
your phone out the window of your big rig on
some road in the boondocks of Arkansas. That's what I want.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
That what's going on? You sec the devil?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's very kind. You're not my type of thank you,
Yes right, I'm not attracted to women. That's a lot.
That's actually what? What what's going on up back?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
There are pumpins stunt and everybody's checking me with me. Ma,
say you what, I feel like a big feller out here?
Speaker 5 (23:45):
How do were you doing?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Man? You give anything conference beside the Astros and Lakers
and Brownie. You know, Brownie's gonna make you look like
a dog, and a new coach is gonna make you
eat every piece of word you ever run out of
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And then you'll wake up and you'll realize that you're dreaming,
and then I'm right yet again, and you'll go on
with your life and you'll pretend like it didn't happen.
You'll say, well, I did that because I got a
Laker hat at a at a thrift shop in Arkansas,
you know, six years ago, and that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I'll probably spent more has me, and you probably spent
more money on hat. Did somebody boys spent on that gum? Grocery.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, no, I know I have. I have way too
many hats. It's my obsession. My wife called, my wife
collects like weird purses, and I collect hats. And so
when we die, said, thrift shops are gonna get a
lot of hats and a lot of persons. They'll get
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
What do you say, she cruts purses.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, I don't collect. My wife collects purses. Yes, weird man, that'd.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Be a good little hobby for you. You look sexty
running around the dead gum purse hanging down for me.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
We're seeing a new side of you here, Dad Gumming.
I had no idea I was your hockey. Yes, but
if you go out, dad gum at Blind Scott will
be at the Malaming Green in Vegas. At least he called.
He's gonna fly out there for it so you can
meet him.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I'd like to meet old Blind.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
He a good start, you know, Oh you'll you'll be
very surprised. I know Justin and Cincinnati is excited he
might show up there.
Speaker 7 (25:10):
Maybe No, I like Oh jud Mill him and oh
him and old Alp.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
I love reaching some of their posts. Then put some
where stuff on posts, and you never know where's going
to be.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
There's nothing I like better than breaking down social media
posts on a radio show. You know, I love that.
It's so it's the content that the people listening need

Kemball Walker announcing his retirement four times.

Twelve seasons in the w A or the w Oh yeah.

You got you're that. You've got w n B in
the money the world in w n.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
B, A Hornets, Celtics, Nicks, Mavericks. Mostly with the Hornets,
he was known for.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Uh now, did you not really own for being a
hornet though?

Speaker 6 (30:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (30:30):
He played last season in Monaco in the Turkish Airlines
euro League.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
He called it casablanc He averaged.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Four point four points playing in Monaco.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
The Kers could have drafted him in the second round.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I was gonna say, yeah, you know it's time to
quit when you're averaging four point four in Monaco. Uh
So I was curious about the Turkish Airlines euro League.
Somebody named Mike James was the MVP.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
By James former Phoenix Sun Mike, that's correct, you know
that is solid NBA knowledge.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I will say, so that's a pretty generic name and
he didn't play long in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
But yeah, okay, I'm impressed.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
I've impressed too. That was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So there we go.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
So long Kemba Walker via Dias, we barely knew you.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Good luck, Kimba. It is the Ben Malshall. Let's have
some fun here, Ben Maler fun fact. Normally I come
up with these fun facts, but alf is the fun
fact whisperer. He sent several fun facts in, including this
one that's ALFI. How do you not know who alf is?
Maybe alf will fly out to Vegas for the mallor
meet and Green. I don't know. Those guys from like
the Northeast don't really leave, like the guys from Massachusetts.
(31:37):
They stay, they don't go. They don't go to these
things anyway, alf al know, Pinter says, Jared Duran is
the first American that he plays for Boston. By the way,
he turned first American League player ever to record all
of the following numbers before the All Star Break one
hundred hits, ten triples, ten home runs and twenty stolen basis.
(31:59):
No one had ever done that in American League history
before Jaron durand the outlier on that stat is clearly
the ten triples. That changes everything because normally, if you
have ten triples, you're not hitting a bunch of home runs.
And so that's that's what throws that stat in the
wildness out also sent up another fun fact, bonus fun fact.
(32:22):
He says these Mallard fun fact. He says, the sandbox
tree also known as dynamite tree, is covered in spikes,
full of poison and has fruit that will explode. It
launches sharp seeds over one hundred feet at one hundred
and fifty miles an hour. Is that true? That sounds
(32:43):
like you ever heard of that the sandbox tree? No,
why would anyone plant that? If you saw it, you'd
cut it down right, you'd wear an armored suit and
you'd go cut it down boy. And there's a third
fund foul.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
My god, that's too many fun facts.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Right off.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
He he did.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Malor fun five.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
This comes from Sports Plus. Remember Sports Plus. Yes, actually
met him at a Mallard meet and greet.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
I met him at a high school football game.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
When I say at Malor meeting Greed, I was just
shopping at Costco and he happened to be there, so
that's not a schedule. Mallon meat greed anyway, this is
years ago at the old Malor mansion. He says, a
Smokey Bear. Smokey Bear one of the few Americans with
his own zip code. Yeah, he has owned zip code.
(33:37):
And you can send a letter to Smokey Bear and
the address. Just send it to Smokey Bear, Washington, d
C two O two five two. That's the zip code. God,
is that a fun fact? Isn't that awesome?
Speaker 6 (33:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I thought he lived in Oregon. Ben, Why is he
getting mail in d C? There's no trees over there.
He likes to bureaucracy of DC. He likes those hacked politicians.
There are trees. You never did. No trees in d
What are you talking that. It's like, oh, it's not
like Oregon, But yeah, there's trees. No, you get outside
the move to the city. Have you ever been to
(34:11):
d C? No? Okay, it looks like a lot of
cement though in the city. You see the same thing.
I was in Portland. There'd be a lot of cement there, right,
and strip clubs really and donuts, chops and hobos. Now
I heard the the family was the Voodoo Donuts, right,
that's the famous one. It'sposing. Somebody told me the open was.
(34:33):
Somebody told me that the open one in La here,
there's one in universe. There's one out here. Universal studios.
Not good, not good.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
I just feel like donuts are like old fash like.
I like the maple's flavor, I like like the traditionalists,
but when you start adding like cereal.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
And like all I have to I have to admit
I'm with Sha on this one.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Like a purple donut, what am I gonna do with that?
I'm sorry, but they're bacon donut, the maple bacon's that's.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
An old fashioned donut though, that's like, that's like a
normal thing, like maple bacon donut.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
My favorite dog, my bare Claw cinnamon roll, to go
to at the donut shop, Bear Claws cinnamon roll. And
we don't need to ye, I was proven correct. The
cinnamon roll a donut. You buy it at a donut shop.
It's a donut.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
And you can also buy sandwiches at shop.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
That's that's different. And my my friend Bob who's in Europe,
has been sending me I've been living by you know,
through him. He's been sending me photos around Europe and
he was at a diner serving American food and under sandwiches.
They listed hot dog as a sandwich at a restaurant
in somewhere in Italy, so that proves it. It's a sandwich. See,
(35:39):
I think that hot dogs and we don't get into
this game, but hot dogs and tacos are in a subcategory.
Hot dog's not a sandwich, neither a taco's not a
same Exactly. You can't do that, yeah, Ben, What did
your parents ever make you have a hot dog and
wrap it in sandwich bread because you didn't have buns? Yes? Yeah,
(35:59):
it would do. Two hot dogs, you cut them down
the middle and you lay them out floe hot dogs
rolling around. I was so against it, Like, how dare
you feed me this trash because you don't call it?
You call that a hot dog sand You don't around
a dog, you put a bun around it. Okay, yes, exactly.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
How about a hot dog on a hamburger?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
That's good hot Have you seen the someplace did July
coming up?
Speaker 4 (36:25):
I'm gonna do them doing it.
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Put an egg on there, hot dog on a waiting,
a hot dog on a burger, that. Yeah, that's good.
What have you seen some of these restaurants here in
l A. They put the hamburger paddy in the shell
of a taco. No, a hamburger taco.
Speaker 5 (36:40):
They're already a hamburger meat in most tacos.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
But it's like ground beef. I'm talking about the actual
wraps around the shell, the like the actual patty. It's
one full like it's not like broken up. No, it's
a full paddy wraps around the tacous disturbing.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
I give it a shot.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
For research purposes. Taking one for the team. Eddie, way
to go at the Alright, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
You got the ring. Jalen Brown got his ring back.
Remember he lost his ring at the championship parade in Boston.
He was all upset about that, and he got his
ring back. He reunited. It feels so good with his
(37:21):
customized ring he lost during the parade, And as he promised,
he gave the two lucky fans who found the ring
a big reward. Guy named Luke and someone named Addie
found the ring of the parade. They were able to
get in contact with Jalen Brown and he hooked him
(37:42):
up with tickets as signed Jersey signed basketball courtside tickets
to the Celtics ring ceremony during their home open. So
they're good, they're taken care of. It is the Ben
Maler Show. We're gonna have Mallor to the third degree.
We'll get to that time. Now for the instant Trivia,
Aaron Judge has fifteen game winning RBIs this season. In
(38:04):
the last fifty years, only three players have had more
game winning RBIs prior to the All Star Break. Those
are Manny Ramirez, Eddie Murray and Blank. And that is

the Mallard Militia to see if anyone has the answer.
We'll go page down. Placito Polanco for mister nice guy.
That's a good name, Dad Gummit, says Shane in DesMoines,

Boss's red machine. Yeah, nineteen seventy nine, played with the
Mets at the end. There, here we go, Here we go,
Here we go. Gets we say hello to Shay Hello,
(40:32):
Ben So.
Speaker 6 (40:33):
Former Viking and current Panther Adam Feelin was catching passes
from JJ McCarthy and was giving him high praises. Ben,
you think he has a chance of starting week one, Well,
he should start week one, but the Vikings are hell bent.
They This is when they say publicly they're not going
to start him. They're gonna start Sam Darnald week one.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
How dumb is that? Sam Darnald? What's the point of drafting?
I'm so sick of these NFL teams. Oh, no, every
player that doesn't play Runway's great. No, you have just
if you're gonna be good, you're gonna be good. If
you're gonna suck, you're gonna suck it, whether you start
right away or not. In fact, get the kinks out
of the way right away.

screw him next.
Speaker 6 (41:31):
Reports indicate that Texas has bolstered its position as national
title contender following its move from the Big Twelve to
the SEC despite the harder competition, Ben, do you think
that they are in a good place.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
Well, they're in a better place because Nick saman ain't
walking through that door to coach at Alabama. But no,
they'll just mean more heartache. Texas will tease you, as
they often do, and then they'll break your heart.
Speaker 2 (41:55):
How they wake down?
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Ye passes always. I won it, Larena, I'm a winner.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
I won.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
That's right, Winter win and Winter Chicken Dinner.
Hello and welcome. It's ourn Bert to we head to
the state of Ohio where Donovan Mitchell the Spider has
agreed to a one hundred and fifty million dollar contract
extension with the Calves. Does this end the rumor o
rama around Donovan Mitchell? Also, how come Klay Thompson asked
(00:24):
Stephen Curry not not to influence the Warriors contract talks?
And Raymond Green has chimed in. The podcaster says Paul
George wanted to come to the Warriors, but the Clippers
did not want to send him there. How much stalk
do you put in that? We'll get to that and
a whole lot more right now here. It is our
number two A mild mild surprise. Welcome in the beginning
(00:52):
of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We are
in the air everywhere, shouldered shoulder as we tackle the
burning issues burn Baby, burn, Coast, duck coast, border, the
border and beyond. On the vast and groovily powerful microphones
(01:13):
of FSR, amminating live from the moles, we play the
number one audio game of Whack a mole. Coast, stuck, coast,
and border, the border and all around. We're broadcasting live
from the tire rac dot com studios. Tyraq dot com
will help you get there and unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:35):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stars tyract dot com. The way tire buying should be.
That's what Cowboy Drew says. He agrees with that slogan,
that's the way tire buying should be. So our lead
this hour, I'm gonna go back to the well one
more time. I'm not doing three pro bouncy Ball monologues,
(01:55):
but this is number two. And there's a story that
we have talked about a couple of times over the
last few months, and there's an update in the pro
bouncy ball world. So we go where the news of
the day takes and that would be Cleveland, Northern Ohio
and Holy Ohio. Al Batman, Well, here's the deal. Maybe
(02:17):
you saw this, maybe not Donovan Mitchell at one time
a big deal for the Utah Jazz. Donovan Mitchell has
agreed to stay with the Cadavers sinking ship as he
has a handshake agreement and I think everything's pretty much
doc you signed at this point. So three year contract
extension and how much will it cost the Cleveland pro
(02:40):
bouncy Ball team one hundred and fifty point three million shekels.
That's a lot of pesos, with the final year being
a player option, so it's a two year agreement and
then if Donovan Mitchell feels like Stan he'll stay, or
if he can get more money, he'll just leave and
get more money somewhere else. So this move comes after months.
(03:03):
I'm not exaggerating when I say months. This goes over
a year where Donovan Mitchell. The chatter was from people
around Spider Mitchell is that he did not like that web.
He wanted another web, and he wanted out there, did
not want to stay in Ohio. And Mitchell then but
he posted a video. You might have seen it, unless
(03:25):
you're blind, maybe you didn't see it. So the scene
from The Wolf of wall Street, one of the last
movies I enjoyed, The Wolf of wall Street. He posted
this on these socials to celebrate the announcement, with Leonardo
DiCaprio's character Jordan Belford saying I'm not effing leaving wells quote.
(03:46):
So let us discuss the question here. Donovan Mitchell agreed
to one hundred and fifty million in a contract extension
with Cleveland? Does this end the rumor? O rama? So
the way I look at it, I got legal ease,
LA Scala and quantum physics, and we'll put all these
(04:11):
things together and we are going to make a fresh
pipe and hot apple pie is what we're gonna make.
So number wa to answer the question, does this extension
by Donovan Mitchell with the Calves does it end the rumors? No? No,
(04:34):
a police, I give that thought side eye. I do
because you have to look at this through the eyes
of cynicism. And here's why. All right, if you read
the legal ease, you got to read the legalese. Certain
restrictions apply, right, certain restrictions by blackout periods of availability
(04:55):
for Donovan Mitchell, and everything is subject to change, especially
in that business. So if you want to be naive
and a low information fan said, well, that's it. He
agreed to the deal, he got the contract, He's never
leaving this is it. He loves it here and that
is his motivation because he always dreamed of playing for
the cadavers, and here he is, unless that's not true.
(05:22):
For roughly eighteen months, there were stories being a league
to people like yours truly from those that share the
same zip code with Donovan Mitchell, and they were whispering,
he's not happy, he doesn't like it there. He wants
(05:42):
to go somewhere else and in that voice, he didn't
like it, he wanted to go elsewhere, and a lot
of pouting, and there was supposedly plotting that he wanted
to play for the Lakers and that even though he's
from the northeast of New York and people I thought
he's gonna go to the Knicks, is you want to
go to La So for now, in this moment, in
(06:04):
this moment, we hit the pause button. So I on that. Yeah,
I was okay, hit the basman. But all we need
is one bad month of pro bouncy ball from the
Cleveland team, just one month of el Stinko. And if
that happens, and we know at some point it will,
then the plot will thicken and things will change, and say, well,
(06:30):
I know I got the contract man, you can't really
trade me right now. But when I can't be traded,
I'm just saying. I'm just saying, yeah, so, uh, one
month of bad baseball and then abracadabra hocus Pocus pressed
down that the band will start up again, and agreeing
(06:53):
to the deal was a business decision. It's a business decision,
and we've learned over the years that while money cannot
buy you happiness, I do believe that money cannot buy
you happeness, it does bring you more enjoyment, at least
a more enjoyable form of misery if you're a miserable person.
Now page two we go to the Boogie Down Bay area.
(07:17):
I'm old enough to remember when the Warriors had a dynasty.
It's been a while, but it's officially over now. Klay Thompson,
who was washed up anyway, he's gone. We have the
post mortem on Clay heading to Dallas. I did get
an email from a very angry Mavreck fan who did
not like that I pointed out that Clay Thompson was
(07:39):
the Booby Prize of free agency. Was offended by that
and demanded an apology. Clearly someone that doesn't get the
industrial complex of the hot take anyway. So we are
told now that Klay Thompson of the mav Res had
asked his fellow splashy friend, Stephen Curry, to not to
(08:00):
not exert his power, his influence, his Spengali effect, over
Joe Lacob, the owner there, and force the team to
offer Klay Thompson more money to keep the band together.
According to the story bouncing around the Echo Chamber, Clay
wanted the Warriors to do right on their own without
(08:23):
being told to do right to them to take care
of him. So questioning on this one, how come Klay Thompson?
How come Klay Thompson asked Stephen Curry to not influence
the Warriors ownership and contract talks. So this part of it.
As I was driving in the long winding road, a
(08:44):
lot of fireworks. This week's been a good firework a
week driving in see a lot of firework shows for free,
just driving. Maybe you do too. So this is standard
NBA chow standard Nbahhow Clay is visiting Lascala is what
he's doing here. That's an Italian famous Italian opera house
(09:04):
as the Prima Donna. In this story, following the rule
of drama, which you are required when you enter the
association to follow the rule of drama, things are much
more drawn out under the rule of drama. They're much
more messier than they should be, unpredictable, it's much more
complicated than it needs to be the rule of drama.
(09:25):
And so Clay wanted Golden State Ownership to sing a
classic Fleetwood mactoon say you love me, show me the money.
That last part was a quote from an old movie.
But they punted. They said, no, Mos, we're good, go
go oh for ten in Dallas, and we hope you
(09:47):
do it against our team in the playoffs and enjoy
your cowboy boots. So that's how that ended. And if
Steph Curry had gone to ownership, would they have offered
more money. Probably a little more money. It's normally how
that works, the hierarchy, the totem poll in the NBA.
All right, now, a final point quickly, a story that
(10:10):
comes from a podcast or I guess this guy's now
qualified to coach if he does a podcast with Lebron
the coach the Lakers, Draymond Green, and he had some commentary.
He says that Paul George of the Sixers wanted to
come to the Warriors. Say what yeah? In Draymond's warped mind,
(10:31):
he says that the Clippers did not want to send Clay,
to send Paul George rather not Clary Tommy. The Warriors
did not want to send Paul George to the Clipper,
from the Clippers to the Warriors. There'll be a test
on this later. He said that they could not agree
to a deal because the Clippers would not do business.
That's what the implication was. They would not do business
(10:54):
with the people's team. The Warriors and the Clippers were
just not on the same So the question if this
is true, we'll just assume it is for a moment.
This is what Draymond Green is peddling for engagement, farming
that Paul George wanted to play in the Bay Area,
the Clippers would not do business with the Warriors didn't
(11:15):
want to send him there. So how much stalk do
you give this particular report? So, Draymond, on this one,
he is serving pie, not apple pie, not cherry pie,
not banana cream pie. Porky pie, a porky pie of
the lie is what he's doing on this one. Draymond disingenuous, disingenuous.
(11:40):
He's repeating, parroting the company line, is what he's doing.
And I look at this story like quantum physics. Okay,
there are two versions of reality, and quantum physics, there's
two versions of reality that can't exist at the same
exact time that look it up. I'm not making that
so from what I have heard, boots on the ground
(12:01):
who may or may not be associated with the People's team,
they may think it's hip to Clip or maybe they don't.
But here's what I'm hearing that while it is true
that Paul George would have preferred to stay on the
West Coast and did have interest in playing for the
Golden State Warriors, ultimately it was the full max money
(12:22):
that he wanted and he wasn't pushing for a trade
to the Warriors. He'd realized he could get the contract
from the Sixers, and so he was fine doing that
because it was not about winning. He didn't go to
Philadelphia to win. He went there because they offered him
more money than anywhere anyone else out there, and that
ultimately was the deciding factor. So you can say the
(12:45):
Clippers would have should have They could have traded Paul
George the Wars. There's another turn in the punch bowl
on this story, and Draymond Green conveniently left this out.
I didn't see it if he said it, I didn't
see it as a little podcast there. So well, the part
of the story he left out is that the Clippers
to even engage the Warriors in the trade, Golden State
(13:07):
had to pay the cover fee. They were unwilling to
pay the cover fee, the price of admission to get
in on Paul George. Golden State rejected sending Jonathan Kaminga
to the People's team. And so if they had offered
him in the trade some combination of players and he
was the centerpiece, then Clippers would have been more open
to that. Like everyone else, they know that Paul George
(13:30):
is about to be washed up, and he's a malingerer,
misses a lot of time, doesn't make shots in big
games very often, and so those are all not qualities
that you're worried about if he were to go to
a team like Golden State. But ultimately, when the Warriors
were presented with that, say hey, do you want Paul George,
You've got to pay the admission fee, the cover fee
here and that's Kaminga, And so the Warriors said no bueno,
(13:51):
and that was it. It is the Ben Maller Show.

I was gonna take Holler and James, but he says
he's not using his golden ticket. It's going to Tammy
and Montana, so I can't take that call. He specifically
told me to leave him on hold. Okay, yeah, we
will not take his call, and so that means it's.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
A good thing. He's giving it to Tammy because she
calls it so often. She's gonna really appreciate that solid use.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, she might sell it on eBay. Maybe Tami will

hello to blind Scott Eddie. That's who's up next there,
Blind Scott in Boston? Hello, Blind Scotty, are you.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Still getting my emails? I sent you and Eddie an
email about the Vegas being greeting proved that I'm not
in the works of coming, making plans on coming.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
You know.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Let me let me check here. There is a email,
there's a there's Are you sent me a screen.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Shot a conversation of me talking to my girlfriend about coming.
She's a flight attention. She's gonna help me help me come.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, I like how I like how
you phrased that. That's very nice.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
I know I'm with Groesbeck personally, so I'm not supposed
to say personal stuff about people on the radio, I
don't think. But my sister's blind and with Grossbeck has
a family member who's blind, so like it's pretty all
this stuff in the news has been like really exciting,
like with some self experience sold Like, oh, I got
to tell you two weeks ago, I prank called Michael
(18:35):
Felder's show right after.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The pro well I heard about that. They didn't know
what to do with you, didn't help on you.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
After, he goes, I don't like Helme's feeling right now,
and then they went right to commrection. He goes, I
don't like how this person just made me feel. I
thought that was so funny.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
How did you prank him? What did you do? Did
you make him feel bad about the blind community? What
did you do?
Speaker 6 (18:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I did, Actually I said, like the parade, wasn't it
sensible for the buy? And then I started complaining about
outdoor dining and rich restaurant owners.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
You've had a problem with outdoor dining on the North End.
Wh there's not enough room for outdoor dining on the
North End.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
I got the.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Question for you think the police can listen to my
phone calls? They're trying to surveil someone outside my apartment,
and even Shaye when I called, you could hear it
going beat beef, like somebody was trying to listen in
on my phone call. I don't know if that's a
real thing, but they've been. They've been getting that's what.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
That's what people who do a lot of different exotic
drugs and are paranoid thing.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
But no, they've been.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
But no, they've been lowering people behind my building back here,
and when they show up, they beat the crap out
of them and rob them and it's all like through
like pretending that they're sex workers.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
So there is some shady business.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Going on right, like an old school mob movie.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, those same people are in Vegas. I
had a problem with the mean Greek because it wasn't
on the strip, But it looks like we can stay
like right next to the place. So I mean, I'm
pretty excited about this.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
I got it.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
But the thing is, like I I'm bringing like civilians
with me that I related to the show. So if
people try to attack me, I have to act differently,
like I have to act calm with like a calm
demean you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Well, you do not want to have criminal charges in Nevada.
That would be difficult.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
I don't want to end up. Yeah, I could end
up like that rap guy Tupac too.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
I think I think you're okay where we don't have
any violence at these things. We just we just shoot
the crap. That's all we did.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Well, Coop no Coop through.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
He made me nervous. He's like, are you afraid to come?
And I wasn't thinking about it whatsoever. And then I'm like, well,
it's cool.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
You're fine. No one's gonna mess with you. People talk,
people talk tough online. You know that, Scott.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
But yeah, you know how it is. It's been on
the radio. I've known you for twenty years. My uh
my college roommate was from the same town as you.
That's all he got, you know, introduced to in the
first place.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Yeah, I remember when you played blind baseball. That was
very exciting. We did the breakdown on the blind baseball
they were playing. You know, do you know that, Lorenda,
there's blind baseball. It sounds danger has been Yeah.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
They got a team in stock in California, they got
one in Oregon.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Do you see the balls?
Speaker 5 (21:07):
Oh, you don't you even wear a blindfold?
Speaker 1 (21:09):
You hear them, there's a beep, it's like beeping balls.
The balls beyond.
Speaker 5 (21:15):
It's not even it's a cadence. So you swing to
a cadence. They say one, two or three pitch and
then you swing and then the picture at the picture
right down the pipe.
Speaker 7 (21:22):
Get up.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I thought you said the fielders.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
That's for the fielders. When it gets into the field,
it doesn't play with the pitch, it doesn't come in
with the picture. Imagine that if you could hit.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
The ball, they should do that. For the athletics, they
should have a beeping ball so they know how to
field it. That would help them out. They're pretty bad.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Ben, I think you've got a good chance on getting
on one of these major league broadcasts.
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Now.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
They got like Jared Carabas is doing one, Keith mcpers
and all these radio people. They should put you on
the Angels broadcasts as the colored guy. It would bring
all your listeners.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
I agree, that's a great idea. My time has come now.
I should be doing major league games on radio a time. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
They're kind to save a lot of money too, so
you'd be perfect for that because.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
You Yeah, I get him a deal, man, I pennies
on the dollar. That's how I operate here.
Speaker 5 (22:12):
I what what about like Danny g made this comment
that the WNBA lost fifty million dollars, and then I
see the Celtics's lout the money. So nobody's making any money,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (22:22):
How the Celthies losing money? They're gonna sell for five
point one billion dollars.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
But the problem with WNB. I know you like the WNBC.
You would probably say nasty things about me online. But
the WNB has been it's been subsidized by the NBA.
Otherwise it would have been out of business twenty years ago.
It's never made money. It's well, yeah, that's why they
do it. I gotta I gotta go, thank you. Let's
say he lo to Oh boy, dad gummet.
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Wait, I'll tell you what this services. Hell tonight, boys,
it's three times I'm calling the show. I'm bout ready
take his phone and throw it out with out down
through here.

Can you do that on the air? Can you throw
the phone out the window on the air, right now,
on the live air? What what road are you on
in Arkansas? I want to document exactly right now. I
would like you to just have a breakdown and chuck
your phone out the window of your big rig on
some road in the boondocks of Arkansas. That's what I want.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
That what's going on? You sec the devil?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's very kind. You're not my type of thank you,
Yes right, I'm not attracted to women. That's a lot.
That's actually what? What what's going on up back?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
There are pumpins stunt and everybody's checking me with me. Ma,
say you what, I feel like a big feller out here?
Speaker 5 (23:45):
How do were you doing?
Speaker 7 (23:46):
Man? You give anything conference beside the Astros and Lakers
and Brownie. You know, Brownie's gonna make you look like
a dog, and a new coach is gonna make you
eat every piece of word you ever run out of
your mouth.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
And then you'll wake up and you'll realize that you're dreaming,
and then I'm right yet again, and you'll go on
with your life and you'll pretend like it didn't happen.
You'll say, well, I did that because I got a
Laker hat at a at a thrift shop in Arkansas,
you know, six years ago, and that's what you're gonna say.
Speaker 7 (24:15):
I'll probably spent more has me, and you probably spent
more money on hat. Did somebody boys spent on that gum? Grocery.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, no, I know I have. I have way too
many hats. It's my obsession. My wife called, my wife
collects like weird purses, and I collect hats. And so
when we die, said, thrift shops are gonna get a
lot of hats and a lot of persons. They'll get
a lot of stuff.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
What do you say, she cruts purses.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Well, I don't collect. My wife collects purses. Yes, weird man, that'd.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Be a good little hobby for you. You look sexty
running around the dead gum purse hanging down for me.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
We're seeing a new side of you here, Dad Gumming.
I had no idea I was your hockey. Yes, but
if you go out, dad gum at Blind Scott will
be at the Malaming Green in Vegas. At least he called.

I'd like to meet old Blind.
Speaker 1 (25:04):

very surprised. I know Justin and Cincinnati is excited he

Maybe No, I like Oh jud Mill him and oh
him and old Alp.
Speaker 5 (25:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (25:15):
I love reaching some of their posts. Then put some
where stuff on posts, and you never know where's going
to be.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
There's nothing I like better than breaking down social media
posts on a radio show. You know, I love that.
It's so it's the content that the people listening need
is talking about random social media posts of people that
most don't know.
Speaker 7 (25:33):
Shame on you, man, We've been we've been putting up
this for a long time. Man, But you don't want
to tell you that's what radio is all about, you know.
It's just putting out stuff, having a good time.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, That's what I tell my bosses. It's not
about advertising, it's not about ratings. It's not about having
the most affiliates, the most listeners know. It's all about
just having a good time.
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Well when you're here, when you're out here, all the
years that med and some of the drivers. I mean,

Speaker 3 (30:30):
He played last season in Monaco in the Turkish Airlines
euro League.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
He called it casablanc He averaged.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Four point four points playing in Monaco.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
The Kers could have drafted him in the second round.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
I was gonna say, yeah, you know it's time to
quit when you're averaging four point four in Monaco. Uh
So I was curious about the Turkish Airlines euro League.
Somebody named Mike James was the MVP.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
By James former Phoenix Sun Mike, that's correct, you know
that is solid NBA knowledge.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I will say, so that's a pretty generic name and
he didn't play long in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
But yeah, okay, I'm impressed.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
I've impressed too. That was pretty good.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
So there we go.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
So long Kemba Walker via Dias, we barely knew you.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Good luck, Kimba. It is the Ben Malshall. Let's have
some fun here, Ben Maler fun fact. Normally I come
up with these fun facts, but alf is the fun
fact whisperer. He sent several fun facts in, including this
one that's ALFI. How do you not know who alf is?
Maybe alf will fly out to Vegas for the mallor
meet and Green. I don't know. Those guys from like
the Northeast don't really leave, like the guys from Massachusetts.
(31:37):
They stay, they don't go. They don't go to these
things anyway, alf al know, Pinter says, Jared Duran is
the first American that he plays for Boston. By the way,
he turned first American League player ever to record all
of the following numbers before the All Star Break one
hundred hits, ten triples, ten home runs and twenty stolen basis.
(31:59):
No one had ever done that in American League history
before Jaron durand the outlier on that stat is clearly
the ten triples. That changes everything because normally, if you
have ten triples, you're not hitting a bunch of home runs.
And so that's that's what throws that stat in the
wildness out also sent up another fun fact, bonus fun fact.
(32:22):
He says these Mallard fun fact. He says, the sandbox
tree also known as dynamite tree, is covered in spikes,
full of poison and has fruit that will explode. It
launches sharp seeds over one hundred feet at one hundred
and fifty miles an hour. Is that true? That sounds
(32:43):
like you ever heard of that the sandbox tree? No,
why would anyone plant that? If you saw it, you'd
cut it down right, you'd wear an armored suit and
you'd go cut it down boy. And there's a third
fund foul.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
My god, that's too many fun facts.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Right off.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
He he did.
Speaker 4 (33:01):
Don't do it.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Malor fun five.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
This comes from Sports Plus. Remember Sports Plus. Yes, actually
met him at a Mallard meet and greet.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
I met him at a high school football game.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
When I say at Malor meeting Greed, I was just
shopping at Costco and he happened to be there, so
that's not a schedule. Mallon meat greed anyway, this is
years ago at the old Malor mansion. He says, a
Smokey Bear. Smokey Bear one of the few Americans with
his own zip code. Yeah, he has owned zip code.
(33:37):
And you can send a letter to Smokey Bear and
the address. Just send it to Smokey Bear, Washington, d
C two O two five two. That's the zip code. God,
is that a fun fact? Isn't that awesome?
Speaker 6 (33:50):
No?
Speaker 1 (33:50):
I thought he lived in Oregon. Ben, Why is he
getting mail in d C? There's no trees over there.
He likes to bureaucracy of DC. He likes those hacked politicians.
There are trees. You never did. No trees in d
What are you talking that. It's like, oh, it's not
like Oregon, But yeah, there's trees. No, you get outside
the move to the city. Have you ever been to
(34:11):
d C? No? Okay, it looks like a lot of
cement though in the city. You see the same thing.
I was in Portland. There'd be a lot of cement there, right,
and strip clubs really and donuts, chops and hobos. Now
I heard the the family was the Voodoo Donuts, right,
that's the famous one. It'sposing. Somebody told me the open was.
(34:33):
Somebody told me that the open one in La here,
there's one in universe. There's one out here. Universal studios.
Not good, not good.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
I just feel like donuts are like old fash like.
I like the maple's flavor, I like like the traditionalists,
but when you start adding like cereal.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
And like all I have to I have to admit
I'm with Sha on this one.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Like a purple donut, what am I gonna do with that?
I'm sorry, but they're bacon donut, the maple bacon's that's.
Speaker 6 (35:00):
An old fashioned donut though, that's like, that's like a
normal thing, like maple bacon donut.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
My favorite dog, my bare Claw cinnamon roll, to go
to at the donut shop, Bear Claws cinnamon roll. And
we don't need to ye, I was proven correct. The
cinnamon roll a donut. You buy it at a donut shop.
It's a donut.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
And you can also buy sandwiches at shop.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
That's that's different. And my my friend Bob who's in Europe,
has been sending me I've been living by you know,
through him. He's been sending me photos around Europe and
he was at a diner serving American food and under sandwiches.
They listed hot dog as a sandwich at a restaurant
in somewhere in Italy, so that proves it. It's a sandwich. See,
(35:39):
I think that hot dogs and we don't get into
this game, but hot dogs and tacos are in a subcategory.
Hot dog's not a sandwich, neither a taco's not a
same Exactly. You can't do that, yeah, Ben, What did
your parents ever make you have a hot dog and
wrap it in sandwich bread because you didn't have buns? Yes? Yeah,
(35:59):
it would do. Two hot dogs, you cut them down
the middle and you lay them out floe hot dogs
rolling around. I was so against it, Like, how dare
you feed me this trash because you don't call it?
You call that a hot dog sand You don't around
a dog, you put a bun around it. Okay, yes, exactly.
Speaker 4 (36:18):
How about a hot dog on a hamburger?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
That's good hot Have you seen the someplace did July

What have you seen some of these restaurants here in
l A. They put the hamburger paddy in the shell
of a taco. No, a hamburger taco.

They're already a hamburger meat in most tacos.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
But it's like ground beef. I'm talking about the actual
wraps around the shell, the like the actual patty. It's
one full like it's not like broken up. No, it's
a full paddy wraps around the tacous disturbing.
Speaker 4 (36:57):

Speaker 1 (37:01):
For research purposes. Taking one for the team. Eddie, way
to go at the Alright, it is the Ben Mahlor Show.
You got the ring. Jalen Brown got his ring back.
Remember he lost his ring at the championship parade in Boston.
He was all upset about that, and he got his
ring back. He reunited. It feels so good with his
(37:21):
customized ring he lost during the parade, And as he promised,
he gave the two lucky fans who found the ring
a big reward. Guy named Luke and someone named Addie
found the ring of the parade. They were able to
get in contact with Jalen Brown and he hooked him
(37:42):
up with tickets as signed Jersey signed basketball courtside tickets
to the Celtics ring ceremony during their home open. So
