Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number two, our number two,
and it's all about the gripe department. What is the
most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star players saying,
pay us the activism over the weekend even though the
(00:21):
league's losing millions and millions of dollars. Also, what are
your expectations for Chris Paul's return to the Clippers for
a last dance? And how do you process Ben Simmons
drawing interest from not one, not two, not three, but
four NBA teams. We'll talk about that as well right
(00:41):
now here. It is our number two. It's another remake,
clueless the basketball story. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,
m Freewhere, shoulder to shoulders, we are your midnight companion,
(01:06):
and beyond, coast to coast, border to border, on the
vast and vivaciously powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the board, just the sounding board of the
nighttime hours here the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
(01:26):
by Laker Lapdog Rick. Oh what a dope. But our
lead this hours we get settled in is from Bouncy
Ball but not not that kind of bouncy ball. This
portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part
by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
(01:48):
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation tire Raq the way tire buying
should be. So we'll get to the thing that you
came here for in a minute, but I'm gonna start
with this the protest department. I was told by several
(02:11):
Pea ones that I let down my guard in the
previous edition of the show. We were so hyper focused
on the Mallard palooza. We had lean and mean, Lean
and Mean Mather monologues, and several of you knuckleheads said, well,
how could you know talk about the story was the
biggest story in sports that you didn't talk about it?
You should have talked about it. Why did you talk
(02:33):
about it? Those angry women? You should have talked about
the angry women. I was like, well, I don't really
talk about that sport other than Caitlin Clark, But if
you want me to talk about it, I will talk
about it. So your dreams have come true. Your dreams
have come true. So I think you might know where
I'm going with this, but maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Over the weekend, I did not see this. Why would
I watch it? There's no reason for you to wort.
I'm not a fan. I don't really care. Apparently, the
two teams representing the w NBA All Star Game wore
protest shirts saying pay us what you owe us. Okay.
(03:16):
That was in response to the ongoing negotiation and the blowback.
These angry women here, very upset that the w NBA
is not paying them the riches of Solomon, and so
the players wore the shirts hurting warm ups. They later
apparently held up pay the player signs Okay, well that's it.
I'm sure the owners were like, well, we're not gonna
(03:38):
We're not gonna do this. But once we saw those
T shirts, we're in. I mean that, come on, we
got to pay them. We weren't gonna pay them, but
those T shirts were done. So the the w NBA,
which is a fledgling operation with literally a few people watching,
they've got this labor dispute going on, and of course
(04:00):
all of this is getting overshadowed by the dogpile of
people that cannot believe what they're witnessing, Like, what are
we doing here? They're really doing this now. Caitlin Clark
the only person worth watching in the entire WNBA. She
did not play in the game, apparently I was told
(04:21):
I didn't watched the game. But she was an honorary
coach and she also took part in the protests, so
there is that as well. So let us discuss the
question question is what is the most puzzling What is
the most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star pay
us activism with the shirts at the All Star Game.
(04:42):
So I've got ubering, Donnie Brasco and designer label and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies, soft
and chewy, gooey, chewy goodness. So number said number one umber.
(05:08):
So this is rich. I don't mean as in the
players are getting rich. It is just rich. And I
would argue that hutzba, which is a very enjoyable word
to say, the word hutsba, that does not quite cover
the basis on this one. Using the word hutzba This
is delusion. Delugion is what this is there, So where
(05:31):
do we start? Why don't we start with this? How
about we'll start with this? So owe you? What is
the question? What exactly are you owed as a w
NBA player? Last I checked, And I don't think I'm
wrong on this, But as I understand the economics of
the WNBA, the league exists not because of overwhelming public demand,
(05:54):
not because of amazing ticket sales, not because of massive
television ratings. No, no, no, no, no, no, none of
those things. None of those things. It turns out that
the WNBA exists because the NBA works as a wait
for it, sugar daddy. That's right. The NBA is the
sugar daddy. They are the ones keeping those checks coming
(06:18):
in there and keeping the lights on and all that stuff.
So it is a league that has been on life
support for some time, subsidized by the sugar Nadi Adam
Silver and Basketball atm Adam Silver and the people that
own the NBA. And it's a little money here, little
money there, and it's actually a lot of money. And
(06:41):
they don't get a lot of bang for their buck.
There's not a lot of bang for the buck there,
and if the WNBA was a standalone business and they
had to make it on their own, hear me, roar,
they would have been so far gone like the people
that are complaining about this now, they wouldn't even know
(07:02):
the WM existed because it would have gone away before
they were born. Okay, so it would have been buried
in a popper's grave there decades ago. But somehow, somehow,
some way, the players, because of social media, they believe
they're getting short changed. They're getting the old screw job here,
the WNBA players, And it's just wild to me. It
(07:24):
blows me away the sports economy. What's popular, what's not popular?
Like do they live in a parallel dimension. Maybe I'm
living in a parallel dimension. But it just seems crazy
that this is a league being propped up by the
NBA and these women are out there complaining that they
need to get more money. Without the NBA paying the bill,
(07:45):
Without the sugar daddy NBA paying the bill, these teams,
they wouldn't be flying charter, they wouldn't be flying commercial,
they wouldn't be flying at all. They'd be nowhere to
fly to. Okay, these women would be ubering to the
why to play pickup back skip balls what they'd be doing, okay,
and they'd have the same amount of people that care
at the why as they do now. The average WNBA player,
(08:08):
the average NBA player thinks and I don't know. Again,
it's because of social media. They've convinced themselves that they
are part of some kind of cultural revolution. But in reality,
it's Caitlyn Clark and one hundred and fifty six other
people who are writing her coattails. Okay, that's what's going
(08:28):
on here. And so she is the lottery ticket. Caitlin Clark,
as we've talked about, she's the show, she's the draw,
she's the anomaly. And even when she plays poorly she
has in some recent games, apparently it doesn't matter because
when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the
legend the man that shot Liberty Balance, the legend of
Katelyn Clark, even if she has terrible stat lines, it
doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And the rest of the
(08:49):
WNBA it is a collection of flotsam and jetsam is
what it is. Okay, that's what it is. It's swirling
around in her wake. There's Caitlin Clark and all these
other players are swirling around, and it's there's a scientifical
term for this, it's mistaking relevance by association. You think
(09:10):
you're relevant by the people you hang out with, but
it's no, it's their their relevance. You're not relevant. You
don't have any actual relevance at all. You don't. And
so Caylin Clark, she's out there doing her thing whatever,
and really the other players are weighing her down more
than anything right there. If the NBA, and they ask
you this, if the WNBA went away today, later today,
(09:34):
when the sun comes up they announced the NBAA said,
we're pulling the plug. ITX nay on the money, A
We're out, no more checks, sugar, Daddy's done, Bye bye.
If the WNBA went away, poof just vanished in the
thin air, just gone see you later. Would you notice
(09:58):
how many people would really care? I don't not many.
I know there'd be some woke journalists out there that right,
think pieces on the internet, oh my god, this was
the worst stuck in the world. Of course, those people
have the very long bios about how great they are
and all that stuff, and there'd be a handful of
lunatics out there complaining on I guess cable news or whatever.
(10:18):
But other than that, that's about it. So again, if
you want fairness, if we strive for fairness, and you
look at the economics here, the WNBA lost, according to
multiple sources, forty million dollars last year. They were going
to lose fifty they made up ten millions. They lost
forty million dollars last year. So let's do some back
(10:40):
of the napkin malard map. So roughly one hundred and
fifty six players in the WNBA. Divide the forty million
loss by those one hundred fifty six players. So each
player would then have to cut a check for over
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That would be fair.
Do you think that's going to happened? I don't think so. Yeah,
(11:01):
I think we know the answer to that. Now page two,
let's transition to a sport people actually do care about
pro bouncy ball, the men's version. And after weeks of chatter, chitter, chatter,
weeks and weeks of chatter, the deal is now done.
The deal is now done. What is it? C P
(11:23):
Three Going back to the people's team, So question, what
are your expectations for Chris Paul and his return to
the Clippers for a last dance in La La Land.
So I'm gonna tackle it this way. There's a lot
of unknowledgeable people out there, like Rico and some others
(11:47):
who seem to think that Chris Paul's going to go
in there and be a thirty five to forty minute
a night player. This one called low information fan. It's
a low information fan. Am I excited about Chris Paul Clippers? No,
not particularly, I'm not. I know he's gonna be a
bit player. He's gonna be like kind of a trophy,
a mascot. He can hang out with Chuck the Condor,
(12:08):
they can do bits at halftime. So I look at
it like Chris Paul's treating the Clippers like, Hey, I
want to be in La. My family's in La now,
my life is in La. So I'm gonna treat the
Clippers like a nostalgia museum. And the Clippers are okay,
we'll take that. We're fine. If you give us fifteen
minutes a game or whatever, we're in cahoots. Now. My
(12:29):
expectation is Chris Paul's gonna play a little bit, He'll
win a couple of games from him, he'll get hurt
and that's it. But it's like, I have no real
expectations for Chris Paul doing anything. Why would I, Because
when the moment's the biggest, he comes up the smallest.
That's what Chris Paul's always done. And if you ever
(12:49):
hang on, I don't know how old you are, but
if you have that T shirt, that really comfortable t shirt,
maybe it's a pair of boxer shorts or whatever that
you had, maybe back in college, and you hold on
to it because it's just wonder and it brings back
fond memories, it's got sentimental value, and you're like, well,
this is pretty cool. That's essentially what CP three is.
He's an old pair of boxer shorts with holes in
(13:09):
them and the clippers kind of like it. If you
want to use a food analogy to the impact Chris
Paul is going to have, it's like going through the
drive through at McDonald's and you order the big Mac
combo meal from McDonald's and you go through the bag.
At the very bottom of the bag, you've taken the
items out of the bag, and you take a look
(13:32):
and there's an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Now,
you didn't ask for an extra fy. You said I
don't need an extra fy. I mean, I got enough.
But you look, it's right there, and it's it's kind
of an older fry. Maybe got caught in something in
the machine and all that, and it's getting kind of
soft and soggy and all that, and it's not that good,
but it's still food.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's like, okay, technically, you know you didn't ask for it,
you didn't expect it. But this gets to be a nonsense.
This is what I low these retirement tours. You don't
announce your retirement, you just retire. Now I'm retiring. Just
step away. Do what Tim Duncan did. Just put on
some dad jeans and that's it. Go away. But instead
(14:17):
it's gonna be one video tribute after another. Every city
he goes to Chris Paul. Like I said, he'd be
hanging out with Chuck the Condor. He'll be hanging out
at halftime of games. He'll be kissing babies, taking photos
with fans. They should have a photo booth with Chris Paul.
So there's that, and it's like the farewell Tour sponsored
(14:37):
by AARP which is a sponsor of the Washington Nationals.
By the way, I was watching the Nationals game with
the Reds last night and they had on the field AARP,
which I'm sure Baseball's marketing people love because they try
to trying to get a younger crowd, so they have
AARP as their sponsor. Anyway, it's kind of like a
restaurant to use a different approach to this. Chris Paul
(14:59):
to the Clippers like a restaurant trying to revive its
business by bringing back a popular waiter they got rid
of thirty years ago. This bring that waiter back. Then
people like that waiter. We'll bring the waiter back. God,
but Chris Paul used to be a big deal, and
I love the Lob City. The Lob City days were fun.
I don't hate the Lob City days. I hate Doc Rivers,
I hate Blake Griffin and those guys. But the Lob
(15:21):
City is that was the arrival, That was the birth
of the Clippers. They were irrelevant, they didn't matter. Now
they run La La runs through the Clippers because of
the Lob City days. Ever since then, they're one of
the top teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been
an embarrassment, no championship since Kobe Bryant and the Clippers
got to a Final four. In that time, it's been wonderful.
It's been wonderful. But in terms of him being a
leading actor, Chris Paul with the Clippers, to quote Donnie Brasco,
(15:43):
forgot about it. Remember that old forgot about it. Come on,
if the Clippers playoff fortunes are dependent on CP three
stepping his game up in a key MOLMD in the spring,
in the summer of twenty twenty six, they're porked. They're done.
That's it. See you later, all right, now, final point.
We turned the page. After a brief sojourn with the Clippers,
(16:07):
the former number one overall pick NBA draft, the Aussie
muffed it Ben Simmons, making all Ben's look bad. So
Ben Simmons is looking for a gig, we are told
now the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns, the New York Knickerbockers,
and the Sacramento Kings have all kicked the tires on
(16:27):
Ben Simmons. So how do you process a failed basketball
player that has not one, not two, not three, but
four teams that he's drawing interest from around the NBA.
So your thoughts on this. So Ben Simmons continues to
be tantalizing because people are stuck in a different era, right,
(16:50):
That's the problem in the league. They say this in
all sports, but in football and basketball, you never give
up on talent. Every coach thinks they have the magic
recipe to unlock the higher ability of a player. And
so Ben Simmons is like the ultimate what if? What
(17:10):
if he stayed healthy? What if he found a love
for basketball? What if he found a jump shot? What
if you could convince him that anything outside the painted
area is not lava and you can actually go out
there and shoot the basketball. And it's the ultimate what if?
Like if only he got his conference? What about this?
What about that? What about? What about? What about? What about?
What about? What about? What about? What about? What about?
(17:32):
It's what about?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Is up?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So really the Celtics, the Knicks and these other teams
that have been mentioned in the gossip, what they are
doing is they're going HGTV. They're doing the beach Front
bargain hunt. They're trying to find a bargain, Like, how
can we do this? Ben Simmons, It's like what Rob
Parker does our friend Rob when he goes shopping, Rob
(17:56):
tries to find the designer label on a clearance rack,
and that's Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons was a designer label.
He was a prodigy, he was international man of mystery.
He was all of that and a bag of chips.
And he's none of that anymore. However, at the time
you can sell it, you said, well, this guy was
(18:17):
the number one pick and all this stuff. But he's
on the discount rack right now, and he fits the
mold for these teams, the teams that are all trying
to throw darts blindfolded at the board, hoping to land
a competent back of the rotation player like Ben Simmons.
And if only the light bulb goes off? What about?
(18:38):
What about? What about? What about? What about? What about?
What about? What about? What about? What about? What about
all that? Yes? Now, if not, you're out what the
veterans minimum? Whoopee dam do who care? They flush that
down the toilet? That money? It is the Ben Maler Show.

rest deserve to be paid in hot dogs like Bingo
Hall wrestlers. So so he says, yes, what else do

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Good evening, everybody, and I have a long time caller.
It hurts me. It hurts me to have to listen
to the garbage with this malor ma loser. I mean,
Dana revite me four times my heart listening to that
garbage that you put on. You're better than that, Ben,
You're better than that. Don't put that garbage on. That
(24:09):
is so ridiculous. That's unbelievable. And you don't want to
talk about Kate Clark. Okay, you don't talk about Kate
and Clark, but you put that garbage on.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You're bearing the lead. First of all, you didn't enter
the contest, so you have nothing to talk about. If
you have better talent, you should have been in that,
mister big time. You're sitting there in the peanut gallery.
You had the opportunity, you could have entered the mall
Oft Polozer. You have no talent, so you couldn't enter it.
There's no talent.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, so I got no talent. What do I care
talent to get on there with those morons are going there.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Apparently we've got more skill than you have.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, skill, liss. Those people don't have an ounce of
skill to talk about anything.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
They're they're I'm more more importantly angry. But where have
you been. Where have you been?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I'm sorry, where.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
Get to the sports. People get upset. They don't want

They say, don't talk about the sports. Sports.

Yeah, you don't repeat yourself. You know what?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You sound like a nine year old girls? Would you
sound like? How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Okay, yeah makes sense to me.

All right, go away, thank you feel better, Angry Bill.
I'm glad you're you're you're well enough to call up

who did some kind of hip hop rapping. My ears
(26:54):
are still bleeding from that. Hello Andrew?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
What's up? Ben so in the vain as Tony in
the bay? Okay, I'd like to say I was thinking
about fitting it into the rhyme yesterday. But if Ben
was any better, he'd be a Clipper, but not a
Los Angeles Clipper because they suck.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Well, he gets worse and worse. I mean, I don't
know how someone could be that bad at calling talk radio.
It seems so simple. You call up and you talk
and does he not realize that Tony the bey aer
is actually funny with the stuff that he does. Does
he not understand Andrew, You're not funny? Is just the
Hour of Terrible? Is just like the out Can I
get anybody? Does any other callers suck more? Can I
(27:41):
get all the bad people on the phone right now?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I think it's like the pendulum, Ben, it has to
come back.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I don't know about that. It is amusing, though, that
the Lakers wanted all of these washed up players, right
the Clippers have added but yet they picked the Clippers right,
Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, the Lakers wanted him, Chris Paul
but since they didn't sign with the Lakers, it's like, well,
it's like, oh, they're all a bunch of stiffs. They
(28:08):
all suck all that stuff. Okay, it's hilarious.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
You always talked about how Bradley Beal is such a
stiff and he sucks, and you know, now it's like, oh,
the Clippers got on the people's team.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
He wanted to come to the people's team. Well, he
did choose the Clippers rather than the Lakers or anyone else.
I think it's rather impressive. It's a great testimonial to
Steve Balmer's ownership that the players want to go there.
It's a destination.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
You got.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Suck. They've got They don't play on skid row. They
played a beautiful palace, the Dome, the into It Dome
there in the hood in Inglewood. It's just just wonderful.
So and what are the Lakers got. They got Luca
eating cake off on the side there.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
That's what they Luca's ripped, he's felt in trouble. He's
got a defensive Player of the Year on the team
watch out.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
From ten years ago. Yes, and he's gonna have the
guy eating the morning shoot around eating donuts and then
you know, the third week of the season, by the
time he keeps eating those donuts every morning, forget about it.
Let's sailo to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre,
save us from the hour of terrible. Andre and his
dog Willis, we're in the malor Palooza. Yesterday did not
(29:21):
go well for Willis and Andre. A compelling act, but
they did not finish in the final four. Hello to you, Andre,
and your dog. Willis.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Hello, Ben, It's good to be with you. Willis right now,
he's in the mix. Actually he's been stirred so he
might participate in this call. But Ben, let me first
of all say put a victor goes to spoils.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
So we got Jade Schoop, we.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
Got Ohio kick drinking, Steve ben Att the comedian, and
Valerie I tip my hand, all right, to the final four.
I'm gonna play the ball. I'm not gonna say hooman
a vote for specifically, but Willis and I were showing respect,
all right, for those who have made it this Listen
at NCAA tournament then, where we got sixty eight teams, okay,
and only four make it to that, to that semi finals,
(30:06):
and never mind a championship. All right, So we're talking
about the zenis a right of a mountain, and I'm
not talking about mountain and Nadnock then, okay, maybe Mount McKinley.
I'm not gonna say Everest, but it's up there. It's
up there now. One of the previous callers right below
some disparaging comments.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
All right.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
First of all, the credit belongs to the man in
the arena all right, so the previous call if you
have an issue with the mallor militia the mallet palooza,
all right and put your hat in the ring, right
and get down for the crown, you know so myself,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, these guys are a bunch of cowards. Angry Bill's
a coward, is what he is coming. But none of
them actually on the mine. He hides his phone. All
these guys are fake tough guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
So me and Willis, we're thrilled, okay, you know, we
try to put together in a little bit a little something,
you know, with Willis, chime, Danie, look quiet right now.
You know he's recuperating, but he's gonna be back wolf
and better than ever, you know. And there was a ron.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It was a very emotional, very emotional night for Willis.
There's a lot of barking that went on there and
uh not enough, but a lot. And so that's likely
why Willis is for clemped, very emotional right right.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Right, he got he got to step up the barking,
you know what I mean, when when they say we're
the dogs that Willis has to be right there. But
he was excited at the prospect We were excited at
the prospects. Possibly all right, he's getting fired up, possibly
being a mascot, because that was the theme yesterday.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
So you know, I love you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
And the Mallard Militia, you know, the Mallor pound dogs okay,
all right, or the Malor war dogs, you know, because
Willis he is a malinof those are the canine dogs
that serve for the police unit. You know, they serve
our military folks. So he had that in him. Okay,
it's a topic for further discussion. Obviously, we're gonna need
a quorum of the Malon Militia before any such decision
is made, all right, But just to be in the
(31:51):
mix in the conversation was what was thrilling for us, Ben,
So I'm going to place the vote top four. We're
tipping the hat to you now. In terms of sorts,
then this w NBA situation and by the way, it
is the situation, okay, in terms of the players, and
they want to get there just due. But never mind,
the league has never made money. You know, they only
get nine percent of the salary. They want more, and
(32:12):
we're kind of going back and forth here, you know,
I have to say, you know, as a true blue
hooper that supports the w NBA hook line and sinker,
We're going back to ninety seven ben Tina Cooper, uh
Tina Thompson, Cynthia Cooper, the Houston Rockets, the initial championship
under the leadership of David Turns. The bottom line is,
if this back and forth nonsense with the presiding star
(32:32):
that's Kaitlyn Clark, it has to end. A couple of
WNBA players went in the press conference and they said,
I'm not talking out of school, but I don't mind
telling you that Kitlyn Clark's team didn't wear the pay shirts.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
That girl's name Kelse Plump.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Come on, now, you know what are we doing, Chelsea.
The bottom line on kicking over the other callers.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
The SB comedy bit. Nobody knows who these people are.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
It has to stop the feuding among himself. It's gone beyond.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
There's nothing diffute about it. They're not making money. There's
no when they start making money they can then argue
for some of the money. They're not making money, so
there's nothing to fight about. If you're in a business
that's not making money, you're not going to be able
to get more money. I got to leave it there,
but thank you. On let's go to John in the
truck who's cruising around. I'll get him on. He goes
to the top of the line because all the other
(33:23):
calls on. Hold sock, Hello John, what's going on? John?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Then?
Speaker 9 (33:27):
First time, long time?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
First time, long time? Wonderful? What's up sir? How can
we help you?
Speaker 9 (33:34):
So from one of your feelings, I got to give
them credit. That's where I got this idea from. But
I wanted to hear your take on it. They were
talking about how provos and the All Star Games are
now just a waste of time from the viewers perspective.
You know, these players, these multimillionaires, go out there but
(33:56):
don't want to, you know, hurt themselves or try too hard.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
What you're saying is yes. You're saying there was is yes, yes?
Speaker 9 (34:05):
And do you think that they I know it's just
a cash crowd for all these other billionaires that own
the teams, but do you think there's any way possible
they might get rid of these All Star Games? That
you know? I'm a younger millennial, so I remember back
in the early two thousands, those for the like the
(34:25):
football Pro Bowls, those were fun to watch, you know,
they were something to actually look into. But nowadays you
just said touch football and if they seem too close
to each other they fall.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Well, it's not even it's not even that it's dodgeball,
it's tic tac tall, it's tug of war like that,
it's a flag football game. It's ridiculous. It's like they've
pretty much gotten rid of it. And hockey they the
only thing they had success with. They did that, the
Four Nations thing. They that did pretty well. They got
some buzz on that. But they do make money. It's
(34:58):
a big event for corporate sponsors, as you know, John,
that's what it's all about, right, You got to get
those corporate people. It's a party, so vacation for a weekend.
You go to the All Star festivities and all that stuff.
But it's it's pretty bad. And you know, it's like
you talk about where sports came from when they were
trying to build up a fan base and where they
are now. Now, maybe they'll get back to that point
(35:19):
where they have to do things for fans, but they
don't care about the people watching. They don't why should they?
They get their money no matter what. It's like. I
remember telling stories years ago there was a guy that
played who was somebody I dealt with, This guy named
Tommy Hawkins who played with the Lakers when they moved
from Minneapolis, and Tommy would tell me stories about nobody
(35:40):
cared about basketball, nobody cared about the NBA in those
days in Sack and to get people to go to
the games. When the Lakers moved from Minneapolis to La,
Tommy Hawkins and the other Laker players were going the
back of a flatbed truck and drive around with a
megaphone around La saying, Hey, we're playing you know whoever tonight,
come out and watch us play. Like the actual players
in the afternoon would drive around and try to get
(36:02):
people to go to watch them play. But they don't
need that anymore. So it's like they don't do the
bare minimum. They're all paranoid about getting hurt and all
that stuff, and out of an abundance of cautions, nothing
will ever get done out of an abundance of caution.
I gotta leave it there, but thank you John in
the truck. It is the Ben Malard Show, and time
now for the Insta Trivia, we will have Mallard of
(36:23):
the third degree and we'll get to that. No more cheese,
We'll push that back. Push it back now, push it

run in the first inning of the same game since
blank again, Dodger pitcher and battersho Tani the first picture
(36:46):

the instance Tributa So the Dodgers show, Hey Otani became
the first first pitcher to hit and allow a home
run in the first inning of the same game since blank,
(38:09):
that is the question? What is the answer? Malaprop Guy says,
the butler named Lurch is the correct answer. Bud Wiser,
Very funny, Bart Simpson joke from Scrooge in Northern California.
Who else do we have? Page down? Brian Boyitano from
(38:30):
Stevie Meatballs Back. The answer obviously is Goldfigure Goldfinger, the
Man with the Mightiest Touch from Keith Ocho Texto Sid
the Sloth from King Roy Very funny. Buddy Groom, good
name from mister Knyske old relief pitcher for the Tigers
and others. See who else we have? Page down? Rockies
(38:52):
Mega Dud Mike Hampton from Milkman Mike in Colorado, at
Lee Hammerker from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Ac Slater tossed
out by far Out Dave John Lester from Seawn and Portland.
Carlos Zambrano from Robbie the Mariner fan. Who else you have?
Zach Wheeler gets by Rob in Minnesota. Fat Daddy says
(39:15):
it's angry Bill's pacemaker. He says the last one. Madison
Bumgardner from Super Mariot Steve. All right, Lorena, what's say you?
I gotta go with Bryce Harper? Ben Fine, pitcher of
Bryce Harper. No, the correct answer and malaprop guy did
get it right. Randy Lurch is the answer to the
pitcher for the Phillies. He started a game in nineteen
(39:37):
seventy nine against the Cubs considered the wildest game in
modern baseball. The Phillies beat the Cubs twenty three, twenty
two at Wrigley Field. That's a baseball game. Here we go,
it's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 3 (39:49):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
This is one big Ben gets graill googlot.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
Rashi Rice has yet to be punished by the NFL,
but it's it's coming now that his court case is settled,
the NFL will move forward with their own disciplinary actions.
How long of a suspension do you think Rice will get, Ben?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Well, you go by the comps on this, and the
NFL has gone softer recently. Roger Goodell player empowerment, player
friendly guy. So even though it embarrassed the NFL, I'm
gonna say two to four games, I'm going two to
four games at the most for Rice on ice for
(40:30):
Kansas City. Next, with another gem.
Speaker 8 (40:33):
From Trek Scoogl, the Tiger snapped a six game losing
streak and became the first team to sixty wins. Now,
he said he won't be satisfied until Detroit wins a championship.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Ben, do you think they have a shot? Well, I
think the Lions have a chance. I think the things
go right for the Lions and the playoffs they can win.
I mean, the Pistons played better last year the Tigers. No,
they have a cheating a holes manager.
Speaker 8 (40:55):
Next, in an attempt to get Mookie Betts out of
a season long slum, Dave Roberts putting Mooki in the
lead off and moved to Tani to the two spot.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Ben, do you think this can help Mooki? Get back
on track. No, Mookie sucked all year, all right. It's
one excuse after another and it's just not his year.
They got to figure it out. They're paying him for
the next, like fifteen years. Mookie bets he's not going anywhere.
He's gonna be there. How did we do pass? That's
a record on the board, a win,
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our number two, our number two,
and it's all about the gripe department. What is the
most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star players saying,
pay us the activism over the weekend even though the
(00:21):
league's losing millions and millions of dollars. Also, what are
your expectations for Chris Paul's return to the Clippers for
a last dance? And how do you process Ben Simmons
drawing interest from not one, not two, not three, but
four NBA teams. We'll talk about that as well right
(00:41):
now here. It is our number two. It's another remake,
clueless the basketball story. Welcome in the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mathers Show. We are in the air,
m Freewhere, shoulder to shoulders, we are your midnight companion,
(01:06):
and beyond, coast to coast, border to border, on the
vast and vivaciously powerful microphones of fs are am monating
live from the board, just the sounding board of the
nighttime hours here the Fox Sports Radio Studios, as approved
(01:26):
by Laker Lapdog Rick. Oh what a dope. But our
lead this hours we get settled in is from Bouncy
Ball but not not that kind of bouncy ball. This
portion of the Ben Malor Show made possible in part
by our friends at ti Iraq. For over forty years,
ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires
(01:48):
for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and
freeback by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options
like mobile tire installation tire Raq the way tire buying
should be. So we'll get to the thing that you
came here for in a minute, but I'm gonna start
with this the protest department. I was told by several
(02:11):
Pea ones that I let down my guard in the
previous edition of the show. We were so hyper focused
on the Mallard palooza. We had lean and mean, Lean
and Mean Mather monologues, and several of you knuckleheads said, well,
how could you know talk about the story was the
biggest story in sports that you didn't talk about it?
You should have talked about it. Why did you talk
(02:33):
about it? Those angry women? You should have talked about
the angry women. I was like, well, I don't really
talk about that sport other than Caitlin Clark, But if
you want me to talk about it, I will talk
about it. So your dreams have come true. Your dreams
have come true. So I think you might know where
I'm going with this, but maybe not.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Over the weekend, I did not see this. Why would
I watch it? There's no reason for you to wort.
I'm not a fan. I don't really care. Apparently, the
two teams representing the w NBA All Star Game wore
protest shirts saying pay us what you owe us. Okay.
(03:16):
That was in response to the ongoing negotiation and the blowback.
These angry women here, very upset that the w NBA
is not paying them the riches of Solomon, and so
the players wore the shirts hurting warm ups. They later
apparently held up pay the player signs Okay, well that's it.
I'm sure the owners were like, well, we're not gonna
(03:38):
We're not gonna do this. But once we saw those
T shirts, we're in. I mean that, come on, we
got to pay them. We weren't gonna pay them, but
those T shirts were done. So the the w NBA,
which is a fledgling operation with literally a few people watching,
they've got this labor dispute going on, and of course
(04:00):
all of this is getting overshadowed by the dogpile of
people that cannot believe what they're witnessing, Like, what are
we doing here? They're really doing this now. Caitlin Clark
the only person worth watching in the entire WNBA. She
did not play in the game, apparently I was told
(04:21):
I didn't watched the game. But she was an honorary
coach and she also took part in the protests, so
there is that as well. So let us discuss the
question question is what is the most puzzling What is
the most puzzling thing about the WNBA All Star pay
us activism with the shirts at the All Star Game.
(04:42):
So I've got ubering, Donnie Brasco and designer label and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make some homemade chocolate chip cookies, soft
and chewy, gooey, chewy goodness. So number said number one umber.
(05:08):
So this is rich. I don't mean as in the
players are getting rich. It is just rich. And I
would argue that hutzba, which is a very enjoyable word
to say, the word hutsba, that does not quite cover
the basis on this one. Using the word hutzba This
is delusion. Delugion is what this is there, So where
(05:31):
do we start? Why don't we start with this? How
about we'll start with this? So owe you? What is
the question? What exactly are you owed as a w
NBA player? Last I checked, And I don't think I'm
wrong on this, But as I understand the economics of
the WNBA, the league exists not because of overwhelming public demand,
(05:54):
not because of amazing ticket sales, not because of massive
television ratings. No, no, no, no, no, no, none of
those things. None of those things. It turns out that
the WNBA exists because the NBA works as a wait
for it, sugar daddy. That's right. The NBA is the
sugar daddy. They are the ones keeping those checks coming
(06:18):
in there and keeping the lights on and all that stuff.
So it is a league that has been on life
support for some time, subsidized by the sugar Nadi Adam
Silver and Basketball atm Adam Silver and the people that
own the NBA. And it's a little money here, little
money there, and it's actually a lot of money. And
(06:41):
they don't get a lot of bang for their buck.
There's not a lot of bang for the buck there,
and if the WNBA was a standalone business and they
had to make it on their own, hear me, roar,
they would have been so far gone like the people
that are complaining about this now, they wouldn't even know
(07:02):
the WM existed because it would have gone away before
they were born. Okay, so it would have been buried
in a popper's grave there decades ago. But somehow, somehow,
some way, the players, because of social media, they believe
they're getting short changed. They're getting the old screw job here,
the WNBA players, And it's just wild to me. It
(07:24):
blows me away the sports economy. What's popular, what's not popular?
Like do they live in a parallel dimension. Maybe I'm
living in a parallel dimension. But it just seems crazy
that this is a league being propped up by the
NBA and these women are out there complaining that they
need to get more money. Without the NBA paying the bill,
(07:45):
Without the sugar daddy NBA paying the bill, these teams,
they wouldn't be flying charter, they wouldn't be flying commercial,
they wouldn't be flying at all. They'd be nowhere to
fly to. Okay, these women would be ubering to the
why to play pickup back skip balls what they'd be doing, okay,
and they'd have the same amount of people that care
at the why as they do now. The average WNBA player,
(08:08):
the average NBA player thinks and I don't know. Again,
it's because of social media. They've convinced themselves that they
are part of some kind of cultural revolution. But in reality,
it's Caitlyn Clark and one hundred and fifty six other
people who are writing her coattails. Okay, that's what's going
(08:28):
on here. And so she is the lottery ticket. Caitlin Clark,
as we've talked about, she's the show, she's the draw,
she's the anomaly. And even when she plays poorly she
has in some recent games, apparently it doesn't matter because
when the legend becomes the fact, you go with the
legend the man that shot Liberty Balance, the legend of
Katelyn Clark, even if she has terrible stat lines, it
doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. And the rest of the
(08:49):
WNBA it is a collection of flotsam and jetsam is
what it is. Okay, that's what it is. It's swirling
around in her wake. There's Caitlin Clark and all these
other players are swirling around, and it's there's a scientifical
term for this, it's mistaking relevance by association. You think
(09:10):
you're relevant by the people you hang out with, but
it's no, it's their their relevance. You're not relevant. You
don't have any actual relevance at all. You don't. And
so Caylin Clark, she's out there doing her thing whatever,
and really the other players are weighing her down more
than anything right there. If the NBA, and they ask
you this, if the WNBA went away today, later today,
(09:34):
when the sun comes up they announced the NBAA said,
we're pulling the plug. ITX nay on the money, A
We're out, no more checks, sugar, Daddy's done, Bye bye.
If the WNBA went away, poof just vanished in the
thin air, just gone see you later. Would you notice
(09:58):
how many people would really care? I don't not many.
I know there'd be some woke journalists out there that right,
think pieces on the internet, oh my god, this was
the worst stuck in the world. Of course, those people
have the very long bios about how great they are
and all that stuff, and there'd be a handful of
lunatics out there complaining on I guess cable news or whatever.
(10:18):
But other than that, that's about it. So again, if
you want fairness, if we strive for fairness, and you
look at the economics here, the WNBA lost, according to
multiple sources, forty million dollars last year. They were going
to lose fifty they made up ten millions. They lost
forty million dollars last year. So let's do some back
(10:40):
of the napkin malard map. So roughly one hundred and
fifty six players in the WNBA. Divide the forty million
loss by those one hundred fifty six players. So each
player would then have to cut a check for over
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That would be fair.
Do you think that's going to happened? I don't think so. Yeah,
(11:01):
I think we know the answer to that. Now page two,
let's transition to a sport people actually do care about
pro bouncy ball, the men's version. And after weeks of chatter, chitter, chatter,
weeks and weeks of chatter, the deal is now done.
The deal is now done. What is it? C P
(11:23):
Three Going back to the people's team, So question, what
are your expectations for Chris Paul and his return to
the Clippers for a last dance in La La Land.
So I'm gonna tackle it this way. There's a lot
of unknowledgeable people out there, like Rico and some others
(11:47):
who seem to think that Chris Paul's going to go
in there and be a thirty five to forty minute
a night player. This one called low information fan. It's
a low information fan. Am I excited about Chris Paul Clippers? No,
not particularly, I'm not. I know he's gonna be a
bit player. He's gonna be like kind of a trophy,
a mascot. He can hang out with Chuck the Condor,
(12:08):
they can do bits at halftime. So I look at
it like Chris Paul's treating the Clippers like, Hey, I
want to be in La. My family's in La now,
my life is in La. So I'm gonna treat the
Clippers like a nostalgia museum. And the Clippers are okay,
we'll take that. We're fine. If you give us fifteen
minutes a game or whatever, we're in cahoots. Now. My
(12:29):
expectation is Chris Paul's gonna play a little bit, He'll
win a couple of games from him, he'll get hurt
and that's it. But it's like, I have no real
expectations for Chris Paul doing anything. Why would I, Because
when the moment's the biggest, he comes up the smallest.
That's what Chris Paul's always done. And if you ever
(12:49):
hang on, I don't know how old you are, but
if you have that T shirt, that really comfortable t shirt,
maybe it's a pair of boxer shorts or whatever that
you had, maybe back in college, and you hold on
to it because it's just wonder and it brings back
fond memories, it's got sentimental value, and you're like, well,
this is pretty cool. That's essentially what CP three is.
He's an old pair of boxer shorts with holes in
(13:09):
them and the clippers kind of like it. If you
want to use a food analogy to the impact Chris
Paul is going to have, it's like going through the
drive through at McDonald's and you order the big Mac
combo meal from McDonald's and you go through the bag.
At the very bottom of the bag, you've taken the
items out of the bag, and you take a look
(13:32):
and there's an extra fry at the bottom of the bag. Now,
you didn't ask for an extra fy. You said I
don't need an extra fy. I mean, I got enough.
But you look, it's right there, and it's it's kind
of an older fry. Maybe got caught in something in
the machine and all that, and it's getting kind of
soft and soggy and all that, and it's not that good,
but it's still food.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It's like, okay, technically, you know you didn't ask for it,
you didn't expect it. But this gets to be a nonsense.
This is what I low these retirement tours. You don't
announce your retirement, you just retire. Now I'm retiring. Just
step away. Do what Tim Duncan did. Just put on
some dad jeans and that's it. Go away. But instead
(14:17):
it's gonna be one video tribute after another. Every city
he goes to Chris Paul. Like I said, he'd be
hanging out with Chuck the Condor. He'll be hanging out
at halftime of games. He'll be kissing babies, taking photos
with fans. They should have a photo booth with Chris Paul.
So there's that, and it's like the farewell Tour sponsored
(14:37):
by AARP which is a sponsor of the Washington Nationals.
By the way, I was watching the Nationals game with
the Reds last night and they had on the field AARP,
which I'm sure Baseball's marketing people love because they try
to trying to get a younger crowd, so they have
AARP as their sponsor. Anyway, it's kind of like a
restaurant to use a different approach to this. Chris Paul
(14:59):
to the Clippers like a restaurant trying to revive its
business by bringing back a popular waiter they got rid
of thirty years ago. This bring that waiter back. Then
people like that waiter. We'll bring the waiter back. God,
but Chris Paul used to be a big deal, and
I love the Lob City. The Lob City days were fun.
I don't hate the Lob City days. I hate Doc Rivers,
I hate Blake Griffin and those guys. But the Lob
(15:21):
City is that was the arrival, That was the birth
of the Clippers. They were irrelevant, they didn't matter. Now
they run La La runs through the Clippers because of
the Lob City days. Ever since then, they're one of
the top teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been
an embarrassment, no championship since Kobe Bryant and the Clippers
got to a Final four. In that time, it's been wonderful.
It's been wonderful. But in terms of him being a
leading actor, Chris Paul with the Clippers, to quote Donnie Brasco,
(15:43):
forgot about it. Remember that old forgot about it. Come on,
if the Clippers playoff fortunes are dependent on CP three
stepping his game up in a key MOLMD in the spring,
in the summer of twenty twenty six, they're porked. They're done.
That's it. See you later, all right, now, final point.
We turned the page. After a brief sojourn with the Clippers,
(16:07):
the former number one overall pick NBA draft, the Aussie
muffed it Ben Simmons, making all Ben's look bad. So
Ben Simmons is looking for a gig, we are told
now the Boston Celtics, the Phoenix Suns, the New York Knickerbockers,
and the Sacramento Kings have all kicked the tires on
(16:27):
Ben Simmons. So how do you process a failed basketball
player that has not one, not two, not three, but
four teams that he's drawing interest from around the NBA.
So your thoughts on this. So Ben Simmons continues to
be tantalizing because people are stuck in a different era, right,
(16:50):
That's the problem in the league. They say this in
all sports, but in football and basketball, you never give
up on talent. Every coach thinks they have the magic
recipe to unlock the higher ability of a player. And
so Ben Simmons is like the ultimate what if? What
(17:10):
if he stayed healthy? What if he found a love
for basketball? What if he found a jump shot? What
if you could convince him that anything outside the painted
area is not lava and you can actually go out
there and shoot the basketball. And it's the ultimate what if?
Like if only he got his conference? What about this?
What about that? What about? What about? What about? What about?
What about? What about? What about? What about? What about?
(17:32):
It's what about?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Is up?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So really the Celtics, the Knicks and these other teams
that have been mentioned in the gossip, what they are
doing is they're going HGTV. They're doing the beach Front
bargain hunt. They're trying to find a bargain, Like, how
can we do this? Ben Simmons, It's like what Rob
Parker does our friend Rob when he goes shopping, Rob
(17:56):
tries to find the designer label on a clearance rack,
and that's Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons was a designer label.
He was a prodigy, he was international man of mystery.
He was all of that and a bag of chips.
And he's none of that anymore. However, at the time
you can sell it, you said, well, this guy was
(18:17):
the number one pick and all this stuff. But he's
on the discount rack right now, and he fits the
mold for these teams, the teams that are all trying
to throw darts blindfolded at the board, hoping to land
a competent back of the rotation player like Ben Simmons.
And if only the light bulb goes off? What about?
(18:38):
What about? What about? What about? What about? What about?
What about? What about? What about? What about? What about
all that? Yes? Now, if not, you're out what the
veterans minimum? Whoopee dam do who care? They flush that
down the toilet? That money? It is the Ben Maler Show.
I want to comment on any of that. You can
join us right now say hello at eight seven seven

tester says, wait, the WNBA kept playing even though Kitlyn
Clark is injured. Man, that league does have problems. Ferg
Dog says, the only woman who deserves to be paid
(22:40):
anything in the WNBA's Angry Bill's girl, Caitlyn Clark. The
rest deserve to be paid in hot dogs like Bingo
Hall wrestlers. So so he says, yes, what else do
we have a page? Dad can't read that? The wild
stylings of Hoosier Bill, who's carpet bombing my timeline on
(23:02):
this lete can't read that? Just Joshus? Who in the
hell is clamoring for that WNBA story? Ben name names?
Here's the question who paid for the ladies protest shirts?
Because I'm sure it wasn't them subsidized by an alien?
Pinch me? When the simulation is over all, right, let's
(23:25):
go to the phones. And now a man who's returned.
He's been away, and several of you reached out said,
what happened? Is God a little up? Well, at least
back we'll find out. Right now, let's go to Florida.
Is the pride of Nutley, New Jersey. Angry Bill is
back on the Ben Maler Show.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Good evening, everybody, and I have a long time caller.
It hurts me. It hurts me to have to listen
to the garbage with this malor ma loser. I mean,
Dana revite me four times my heart listening to that
garbage that you put on. You're better than that, Ben,
You're better than that. Don't put that garbage on. That
(24:09):
is so ridiculous. That's unbelievable. And you don't want to
talk about Kate Clark. Okay, you don't talk about Kate
and Clark, but you put that garbage on.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
You're bearing the lead. First of all, you didn't enter
the contest, so you have nothing to talk about. If
you have better talent, you should have been in that,
mister big time. You're sitting there in the peanut gallery.
You had the opportunity, you could have entered the mall
Oft Polozer. You have no talent, so you couldn't enter it.
There's no talent.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Okay, so I got no talent. What do I care
talent to get on there with those morons are going there.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Apparently we've got more skill than you have.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Yeah, skill, liss. Those people don't have an ounce of
skill to talk about anything.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
They're they're I'm more more importantly angry. But where have
you been. Where have you been?
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I'm sorry, where.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Have you been? You just vani Isa? You called every
night for months and then you just vanish. Where did
you go?
Speaker 2 (25:05):
I'm working on my health.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
Okay, all right, you're working.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
I'm working on my health. Going to deal with these
medical people.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
It sounds it sounds like our show is giving you,
uh problems, medical problems.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
It sounds, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
We revived four times. Listen to those people four times.
Come on, then you've been in that that. Let's get
to the sports. Let's talk about sports.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Get to the sports. People get upset. They don't want
me to talk about the sports. They say, don't talk
about the sports. Why are you talking about the sports?
They say, don't talk about the sports. Sports.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
You're done? Mva Hey, shit there and fart?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Will you you want me to and fart if you want?
You want me to fart on the microphone, I'll fart
in the microphone for you if you want.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
The people they got on the phone.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, you do realize you're on the phone. Hello, You're
you're self incriminating. You're on the phone. You're ripping the
people on the phone. You're literally on the phone right
now on the air.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Hello, you want, you want? These people have gotten better
to do with their lives.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
What do you have?
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Bet?
Speaker 2 (26:12):
You have?
Speaker 1 (26:12):
You're the same as them, you have, no no different,
you have not You're the same as them. All right,
you're just now you're repeating yourself. See now you're repeating yourself,
Angry Bill, you're repeating yourself.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, you don't repeat yourself. You know what?
Speaker 1 (26:25):
You sound like a nine year old girls? Would you
sound like? How about that?
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Okay, yeah makes sense to me.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
All right, go away, thank you feel better, Angry Bill.
I'm glad you're you're you're well enough to call up
and bitch, I'm thank you. So happy he's back, man, Yeah,
he's back. How lucky are we? Sailo to Andrew in Bakersfield,
who did some kind of hip hop rapping. My ears
(26:54):
are still bleeding from that. Hello Andrew?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
What's up? Ben so in the vain as Tony in
the bay? Okay, I'd like to say I was thinking
about fitting it into the rhyme yesterday. But if Ben
was any better, he'd be a Clipper, but not a
Los Angeles Clipper because they suck.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Well, he gets worse and worse. I mean, I don't
know how someone could be that bad at calling talk radio.
It seems so simple. You call up and you talk
and does he not realize that Tony the bey aer
is actually funny with the stuff that he does. Does
he not understand Andrew, You're not funny? Is just the
Hour of Terrible? Is just like the out Can I
get anybody? Does any other callers suck more? Can I
(27:41):
get all the bad people on the phone right now?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I think it's like the pendulum, Ben, it has to
come back.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I don't know about that. It is amusing, though, that
the Lakers wanted all of these washed up players, right
the Clippers have added but yet they picked the Clippers right,
Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, the Lakers wanted him, Chris Paul
but since they didn't sign with the Lakers, it's like, well,
it's like, oh, they're all a bunch of stiffs. They
(28:08):
all suck all that stuff. Okay, it's hilarious.
Speaker 8 (28:11):
You always talked about how Bradley Beal is such a
stiff and he sucks, and you know, now it's like, oh,
the Clippers got on the people's team.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
He wanted to come to the people's team. Well, he
did choose the Clippers rather than the Lakers or anyone else.
I think it's rather impressive. It's a great testimonial to
Steve Balmer's ownership that the players want to go there.
It's a destination.
Speaker 7 (28:33):
You got.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Suck. They've got They don't play on skid row. They
played a beautiful palace, the Dome, the into It Dome
there in the hood in Inglewood. It's just just wonderful.
So and what are the Lakers got. They got Luca
eating cake off on the side there.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
That's what they Luca's ripped, he's felt in trouble. He's
got a defensive Player of the Year on the team
watch out.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
From ten years ago. Yes, and he's gonna have the
guy eating the morning shoot around eating donuts and then
you know, the third week of the season, by the
time he keeps eating those donuts every morning, forget about it.
Let's sailo to Andre, who's in the Commonwealth. Hello Andre,
save us from the hour of terrible. Andre and his
dog Willis, we're in the malor Palooza. Yesterday did not
(29:21):
go well for Willis and Andre. A compelling act, but
they did not finish in the final four. Hello to you, Andre,
and your dog. Willis.
Speaker 6 (29:32):
Hello, Ben, It's good to be with you. Willis right now,
he's in the mix. Actually he's been stirred so he
might participate in this call. But Ben, let me first
of all say put a victor goes to spoils.
Speaker 9 (29:44):
So we got Jade Schoop, we.
Speaker 6 (29:45):
Got Ohio kick drinking, Steve ben Att the comedian, and
Valerie I tip my hand, all right, to the final four.
I'm gonna play the ball. I'm not gonna say hooman
a vote for specifically, but Willis and I were showing respect,
all right, for those who have made it this Listen
at NCAA tournament then, where we got sixty eight teams, okay,
and only four make it to that, to that semi finals,
(30:06):
and never mind a championship. All right, So we're talking
about the zenis a right of a mountain, and I'm
not talking about mountain and Nadnock then, okay, maybe Mount McKinley.
I'm not gonna say Everest, but it's up there. It's
up there now. One of the previous callers right below
some disparaging comments.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
All right.
Speaker 6 (30:22):
First of all, the credit belongs to the man in
the arena all right, so the previous call if you
have an issue with the mallor militia the mallet palooza,
all right and put your hat in the ring, right
and get down for the crown, you know so myself,
that's right.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Yeah, these guys are a bunch of cowards. Angry Bill's
a coward, is what he is coming. But none of
them actually on the mine. He hides his phone. All
these guys are fake tough guys, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (30:45):
So me and Willis, we're thrilled, okay, you know, we
try to put together in a little bit a little something,
you know, with Willis, chime, Danie, look quiet right now.
You know he's recuperating, but he's gonna be back wolf
and better than ever, you know. And there was a ron.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It was a very emotional, very emotional night for Willis.
There's a lot of barking that went on there and
uh not enough, but a lot. And so that's likely
why Willis is for clemped, very emotional right right.
Speaker 6 (31:11):
Right, he got he got to step up the barking,
you know what I mean, when when they say we're
the dogs that Willis has to be right there. But
he was excited at the prospect We were excited at
the prospects. Possibly all right, he's getting fired up, possibly
being a mascot, because that was the theme yesterday.
Speaker 9 (31:26):
So you know, I love you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
And the Mallard Militia, you know, the Mallor pound dogs okay,
all right, or the Malor war dogs, you know, because
Willis he is a malinof those are the canine dogs
that serve for the police unit. You know, they serve
our military folks. So he had that in him. Okay,
it's a topic for further discussion. Obviously, we're gonna need
a quorum of the Malon Militia before any such decision
is made, all right, But just to be in the
(31:51):
mix in the conversation was what was thrilling for us, Ben,
So I'm going to place the vote top four. We're
tipping the hat to you now. In terms of sorts,
then this w NBA situation and by the way, it
is the situation, okay, in terms of the players, and
they want to get there just due. But never mind,
the league has never made money. You know, they only
get nine percent of the salary. They want more, and
(32:12):
we're kind of going back and forth here, you know,
I have to say, you know, as a true blue
hooper that supports the w NBA hook line and sinker,
We're going back to ninety seven ben Tina Cooper, uh
Tina Thompson, Cynthia Cooper, the Houston Rockets, the initial championship
under the leadership of David Turns. The bottom line is,
if this back and forth nonsense with the presiding star
(32:32):
that's Kaitlyn Clark, it has to end. A couple of
WNBA players went in the press conference and they said,
I'm not talking out of school, but I don't mind
telling you that Kitlyn Clark's team didn't wear the pay shirts.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
That girl's name Kelse Plump.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Come on, now, you know what are we doing, Chelsea.
The bottom line on kicking over the other callers.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
The SB comedy bit. Nobody knows who these people are.
Speaker 6 (32:58):
It has to stop the feuding among himself. It's gone beyond.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
There's nothing diffute about it. They're not making money. There's
no when they start making money they can then argue
for some of the money. They're not making money, so
there's nothing to fight about. If you're in a business
that's not making money, you're not going to be able
to get more money. I got to leave it there,
but thank you. On let's go to John in the
truck who's cruising around. I'll get him on. He goes
to the top of the line because all the other
(33:23):
calls on. Hold sock, Hello John, what's going on? John?
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Then?
Speaker 9 (33:27):
First time, long time?
Speaker 2 (33:28):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
First time, long time? Wonderful? What's up sir? How can
we help you?
Speaker 9 (33:34):
So from one of your feelings, I got to give
them credit. That's where I got this idea from. But
I wanted to hear your take on it. They were
talking about how provos and the All Star Games are
now just a waste of time from the viewers perspective.
You know, these players, these multimillionaires, go out there but
(33:56):
don't want to, you know, hurt themselves or try too hard.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
What you're saying is yes. You're saying there was is yes, yes?
Speaker 9 (34:05):
And do you think that they I know it's just
a cash crowd for all these other billionaires that own
the teams, but do you think there's any way possible
they might get rid of these All Star Games? That
you know? I'm a younger millennial, so I remember back
in the early two thousands, those for the like the
(34:25):
football Pro Bowls, those were fun to watch, you know,
they were something to actually look into. But nowadays you
just said touch football and if they seem too close
to each other they fall.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Well, it's not even it's not even that it's dodgeball,
it's tic tac tall, it's tug of war like that,
it's a flag football game. It's ridiculous. It's like they've
pretty much gotten rid of it. And hockey they the
only thing they had success with. They did that, the
Four Nations thing. They that did pretty well. They got
some buzz on that. But they do make money. It's
(34:58):
a big event for corporate sponsors, as you know, John,
that's what it's all about, right, You got to get
those corporate people. It's a party, so vacation for a weekend.
You go to the All Star festivities and all that stuff.
But it's it's pretty bad. And you know, it's like
you talk about where sports came from when they were
trying to build up a fan base and where they
are now. Now, maybe they'll get back to that point
(35:19):
where they have to do things for fans, but they
don't care about the people watching. They don't why should they?
They get their money no matter what. It's like. I
remember telling stories years ago there was a guy that
played who was somebody I dealt with, This guy named
Tommy Hawkins who played with the Lakers when they moved
from Minneapolis, and Tommy would tell me stories about nobody
(35:40):
cared about basketball, nobody cared about the NBA in those
days in Sack and to get people to go to
the games. When the Lakers moved from Minneapolis to La,
Tommy Hawkins and the other Laker players were going the
back of a flatbed truck and drive around with a
megaphone around La saying, Hey, we're playing you know whoever tonight,
come out and watch us play. Like the actual players
in the afternoon would drive around and try to get
(36:02):
people to go to watch them play. But they don't
need that anymore. So it's like they don't do the
bare minimum. They're all paranoid about getting hurt and all
that stuff, and out of an abundance of cautions, nothing
will ever get done out of an abundance of caution.
I gotta leave it there, but thank you John in
the truck. It is the Ben Malard Show, and time
now for the Insta Trivia, we will have Mallard of
(36:23):
the third degree and we'll get to that. No more cheese,
We'll push that back. Push it back now, push it
back a little bit. But time now for the Insta Trivia.
The Dodgers Show. Hey Oh, Tani became the first pitcher
to hit and allow to hit and allow a home
run in the first inning of the same game since
blank again, Dodger pitcher and battersho Tani the first picture
(36:46):
to hit and allow a home run in the first
inning of the same game since blank. That's the Insta Trivia.
The answer next.

(37:48):
we get off the air. All right, time now for
the instance Tributa So the Dodgers show, Hey Otani became
the first first pitcher to hit and allow a home
run in the first inning of the same game since blank,
(38:09):
that is the question? What is the answer? Malaprop Guy says,
the butler named Lurch is the correct answer. Bud Wiser,
Very funny, Bart Simpson joke from Scrooge in Northern California.
Who else do we have? Page down? Brian Boyitano from
(38:30):
Stevie Meatballs Back. The answer obviously is Goldfigure Goldfinger, the
Man with the Mightiest Touch from Keith Ocho Texto Sid
the Sloth from King Roy Very funny. Buddy Groom, good
name from mister Knyske old relief pitcher for the Tigers
and others. See who else we have? Page down? Rockies
(38:52):
Mega Dud Mike Hampton from Milkman Mike in Colorado, at
Lee Hammerker from Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Ac Slater tossed
out by far Out Dave John Lester from Seawn and Portland.
Carlos Zambrano from Robbie the Mariner fan. Who else you have?
Zach Wheeler gets by Rob in Minnesota. Fat Daddy says
(39:15):
it's angry Bill's pacemaker. He says the last one. Madison
Bumgardner from Super Mariot Steve. All right, Lorena, what's say you?
I gotta go with Bryce Harper? Ben Fine, pitcher of
Bryce Harper. No, the correct answer and malaprop guy did
get it right. Randy Lurch is the answer to the
pitcher for the Phillies. He started a game in nineteen
(39:37):
seventy nine against the Cubs considered the wildest game in
modern baseball. The Phillies beat the Cubs twenty three, twenty
two at Wrigley Field. That's a baseball game. Here we go,
it's Mallard. How about that?
Speaker 3 (39:49):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (39:52):
This is one big Ben gets graill googlot.
Speaker 8 (39:57):
Rashi Rice has yet to be punished by the NFL,
but it's it's coming now that his court case is settled,
the NFL will move forward with their own disciplinary actions.
How long of a suspension do you think Rice will get, Ben?
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Well, you go by the comps on this, and the
NFL has gone softer recently. Roger Goodell player empowerment, player
friendly guy. So even though it embarrassed the NFL, I'm
gonna say two to four games, I'm going two to
four games at the most for Rice on ice for
(40:30):
Kansas City. Next, with another gem.
Speaker 8 (40:33):
From Trek Scoogl, the Tiger snapped a six game losing
streak and became the first team to sixty wins. Now,
he said he won't be satisfied until Detroit wins a championship.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
Ben, do you think they have a shot? Well, I
think the Lions have a chance. I think the things
go right for the Lions and the playoffs they can win.
I mean, the Pistons played better last year the Tigers. No,
they have a cheating a holes manager.
Speaker 8 (40:55):
Next, in an attempt to get Mookie Betts out of
a season long slum, Dave Roberts putting Mooki in the
lead off and moved to Tani to the two spot.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Ben, do you think this can help Mooki? Get back
on track. No, Mookie sucked all year, all right. It's
one excuse after another and it's just not his year.
They got to figure it out. They're paying him for
the next, like fifteen years. Mookie bets he's not going anywhere.
He's gonna be there. How did we do pass? That's
a record on the board, a win,
