Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dinged, it's our num Bert talking bays ball. How embarrassing
is it for Mets outfielder Juan Soto to not be
named to the All Star roster, not by the fans,
not by his contemporaries, and not by.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The league office. Yikes.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, after not speaking originally on the subject, Clayton Kershaw
says that he's grateful for the quote weird but cool
All Star selection as a legend pick. Can you parse
the words of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection?
Also the Orlando Magic. That's a basketball team, not a
(00:43):
good one. The Orlando Magic just handed Paolo Boncero a
five year deal worth up to two hundred and eighty
seven million. How do you categorize that one? We'll get
to it right now. It's our number two. Not not
the King, silly, not anything but flushing, flush, flush, flush flush.
(01:08):
Wel come in the beginning of another hour for us
the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere
as we burn the clock with an audio bag of
funions coast to coast, Borderer, border and beyond on the
(01:28):
mast and rightfully, powerful microphones of fs are amminating live
from the song as we have to sing for our
supper from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
our Hugh kidding me, big fan of that, and this
portion of the Ben Malors Show made possible in part
(01:51):
by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free, mister nice guy and back by
free road hazard protection. I know the friy Daddy likes
that with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire
rack dot Com the way tire bond should be. So
(02:15):
our lead this hour is from baseball and we.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Start out in Queens. The New York.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Metropolitans did not play, did not play on Monday. However,
there was much embarrassment, much embarrassment. One Soto, the fallout.
Everyone talking about this in Baseball. One Soto in his
first season with the New York Mets, the new mister
met signing a fifteen year contract for seven hundred and
(02:47):
sixty five million, bigger than the gross domestic product of
most small countries as a.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Free agent, and he was.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Not selected to Baseball's All Star roster. If you didn't
see this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So the fallout on this has been pretty extreme. One
Sodo snubbed by the fame, the fan said ixnay on
the Soto a and also by the people in baseball.
They didn't want one Sodo to be in the All
Star Game. Now there's always a possible, a possibility, there's
(03:23):
always a possibility that Juan Soto will be added. Players
get hurt they don't appear in the All Star Game.
So there will be some changes, but it doesn't matter.
We do the show today, and so right now, as
we're doing the show, one Soto is not on the
National League All Star roster. So let us discuss the
question how embarrassing, how embarrassing is it that the Mets
(03:47):
outfielder Juan Soto is not and not part of the
All Star Game, not named to the All Star roster.
So I've got ballot, box, letterman, jacket, and FaceTime and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So A number one, this is an emasculation situation, is
what it is. It is a lemon merangue pie a
delicious lemon merangue pie right to the face, right to
the schnaz here. So let's cut through all the noise,
all the nonsense like cacophony of noise. There one soda
(04:30):
is not winning the mister popular vote, not winning any
award here.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And that's the real reason.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's the real reason that he's on the outside looking in.
And the All Star Game, the All Star break starts
on Sunday night after the games were played on Sunday,
and the All Star Game in Georgia.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So this is not about the stats.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Now, we did some early April monologues about the performance
of Wance not being up to the standard. It was
not at that time. Soto's numbers of late douce scream
all Star. He has had a late surge. If you
get a little tingle when somebody gets a walk one,
Soto's your player. He is third, we are told, if
(05:17):
you look at the Nerd numbers, he's third among all
NL outfielders. In ops, he's tied. I believe he's tied
for fourth.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
In terms of home runs.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And he was the player of the month, if I'm
not mistaken, in the month of June.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So those are all good things. Those are all those
are all good things.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He has been a one man on base machine for
the Metropolitan drawing rot walks. You get a walk, you
get a walk, You get a walk, kind of like
a rotten fish draws flies a lot, a lot of walks. Now,
regardless of that, Baseball's All Star Game is not just
a pure stat based situation. Is a referendum on where
(06:00):
you fall in the cosmos of baseball at this time.
It is a popularity contest. Every man, woman and child
knows this. And it's supposely it's a meritocracy, but it's not.
It's a popularity contest. And the word in ballparks from
Boston to Seattle and from Miami to San Francisco, the
(06:22):
word is Juan Soto has rubbed enough people, enough people
the wrong way where he has not been added to
the guest list, not invited, and the players, remember the
players vote for the reserves. It's like one thing for
the fans to say, oh, we don't like this guy,
so we're going to stick it to Jan Soda.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's one thing.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And people vote on their computers, you know, ten fifteen
times a day, whatever it is, but the backups not
the starters not to start. The reserves are named by
the players, and they did not circle or click the
button on Jan Soda. Neither did the Commissioner's office. They
didn't do it. They didn't do it. They get to
(07:08):
pick the final six All Stars. I believe that's how
that works. And so you would think that for Major
League Baseball. The league headquarters are in Midtown Manhattan. There's
a lot of met fans that work for Major League
Baseball in the league office. You would think a seven
hundred and sixty five million dollar player would at.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Least get an invite.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Didn't happen. That's not an accident. It's not Major League
Baseball's players, the fans, and the league office all went
into the ballot box and they issued a vote of
no confidence.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
For Juan Soto. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But maybe I'll check. He's going to be there for
a long time with the Mets. But right now, Juan
Soto is covered in the cooties. Juan Soto has the cooties.
It's just the way it is. The Komodo dragon in
the room, we will address it. Is the demand of
Wan Soda clearly has rubbed people the wrong way here
oozing with swagger, but the swagger turned out to be
(08:07):
the dagger in many respects. Here he has not won
the hearts, minds, and voters. The Soto shuffle as it
is known, and pretty much after every pitch, every pitch
that he doesn't swing at. By the way, if you
watch the Mets, and you watch them with the Yankees
or the Podres or whoever, so he does a little dance,
(08:28):
it's kind.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Of like giving the bird. The bird is the word.
The bird is the word.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
He gives the bird to the pitcher, the umpire and
anyone else who thinks he should actually wait until he
does something before he does a little shuffle.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And so clearly there are enough people in baseball that
don't like it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He said, well, it's just baseball. They're all buttoned up.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
There's enough people that grumble when Sodo does this that
he's show voting one soo. And also the teammates, some
of them, now they won't say it on the record
because that's taboo, but they clearly are rolling their eye.
Is Juan Sotos act there And when the cameras are
not paying attention behind closed doors, they're whispering and they're
not whispering sweet nothings. And it's all burn dogging the
(09:10):
seven hundred and sixty five million dollar man. Of course,
after taxes New York taxes, that's about twenty million, about
twenty million. Anyway, listen, it's it's all bird dogging Juan
Sodo around the Big Lease. Remember in Washington, Remember when
he came on the scene, the hot shot prodigy of baseball.
He had that natitude in DC and he was the
(09:34):
golden child of Major League Baseball. Oh my god, but
they were whispering even then. You know, he's gonna he's
gonna have to grow up. It's more about Wan than
the team. It's all about Wan. Then he went out
to San Diego, ate some fish tacos with the Padres,
tried to stay away from Poppy when he was in
San Diego, went down a beautiful San Diego, America's finest city.
(09:56):
They used to put it on the police cars went there,
and Padre players did not did not exactly open open
the door with you know, get him a hug, with warm, warm,
loving vibrations there, did not throw him a parade. Then
he went to the Bronx and even Aaron Judge the
(10:17):
judge Tonian Aaron Judge, mister nice guy. Everyone loves him. Oh,
you can't say anything bad about Aaron Judge. They didn't.
Didn't seem like he was too bummed out when Juan
Soto skidaddled across from his burrow to the next borough over.
Didn't seem too upset by that. And so Soto, who
(10:38):
often plays like he's auditioning for a statue, let me
strike a pose. I'm gonna strike a pose. There clearly
not winning over baseball, at least today. We do the
show today and as of today that is not the case.
Thus he is not an all start again. He might
be added, you know, tomorrow, the next day, whenever. It
doesn't matter right now, not the initial wave. It's like
(11:02):
when they used to play the Pro Bowl, before the
players in the NFL became pansies and they stopped playing
the Pro Bowl, and now they do like tic tac toe.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But back when they did the Pro Bowl, there.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Would always be ten guys on each team that skipped
out on the Pro Bowl, and so other people would
be added, and it got so ridiculous. I think one
year Vince Young, who sucked, made.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
He was a Pro Bowl quarterback, which really must have
upset him because I don't think there was a cheesecake
factory right next to a Loja stadium. They might not
be even one in o' Wahu, which must have been
upsetting anyway. Now turning the page, we go to La
La Land. Why actually in Milwaukee where the brew crew
shoved the meatball down the throat of the Dodgers. But
(11:45):
that's not the story here. A random baseball game in
July not to story the story here. After not speaking
to reporters on Sunday when the news came out, Clayton
Kershaw did break his silence. The day after, Clayton Kershaw
said that he is quote grateful. He said, it's weird
(12:06):
but cool, weird but cool that he was named an
All Star selection on a Legends pick by rob Manfreud,
a Legends pick for Clayton Kershaw. So can you parse
the words? Here's the question. Can you parse the words
of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection, the Legend pick?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So this is not that deep.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Kershaw admitted that he does not deserve to be at
the All Star Game, as we anticipated the vibe.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I got he doesn't want to go.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Now, he's not gonna come out and be a total schmuck,
and he'll show up, but he'd rather not go. And
he's right, he doesn't belong in the All Star Game,
and he's gonna go and he's gonna put on a
happy face and all that. But major League Baseball, and
they added this a few years ago, they haven't done
it in a couple of years. Is the Legends addition
(13:02):
to the All Star Game. But major League Baseball turning
it into your aunt's Facebook page, right, a lot of nostalgia,
a lot of participation, trophy congratulations, and you're pretending it's
ten years ago if you're Clayton Kershaw and all that stuff.
But if you gave him truth serum, if you injected
Kershaw with a needle full of truth serum, he would
(13:25):
rather be on a beach somewhere or back in his
home in Texas with his kids, then standing on the
foul line in Atlanta and tipping his cap and you know,
like he's some kind of figurine from Cooperstown or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So he'd much rather be on vacation.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And he's gonna go, and he'll be there at the
All Star game he would rather not, And Kershaw it
is odd because him dropping into the All Star Game
based on his body work, which he admits he's only
made nine starts. It's like a guy showing up to
a wedding that they were not invited to.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Just like wedding crashers.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You show up at the wedding and it's like, well,
I probably shouldn't be here, but.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
There's an open bar. Baby, here I am.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Now at the end of the day, he said, it's weird,
Kershaw said, but it's cool, so I'm just going to
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
No, he's not, Kershaw said.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He says, you know what else, there's another partist Like
he said weird and cool and all that stuff, and
he talked about some other random things.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But it's like a forty year old.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Dude at the high school reunion wearing the letterman's jacket
that shows up there and he's like, hey, you know,
I am ordering my high school self. Here I am,
And Kershaw knows he's undeserving of this. He is, and
you know, you don't expect him to get into the
All Star Game. So he's not gonna play. He's just
(14:54):
gonna go there. He shows up to Atlanta. He checks
into the Five Star hotel as a smile for the
camp Mraz.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
He waves, he tips his cap.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Maybe he'll go on microphone on the All Star broadcast
and all that stuff. At that point, if you're not
playing in the All Star Game and you're just there
to tip the cap and to wave with the.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Crowd, are you or are you not? A mascot? Is
Clayton Kurdashaw?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Not like the Philly fanatic or Wally the Green Monster
or mister med or Bernie Brewer. That's what he is.
If he shows up to the All Name not gonna
play legends. Pick there you go? All right, final point?
We quickly we go to Orlando, Big NBA signing, Big
NBA signing. The Orlando Magic have handed paul O Boncherro,
(15:38):
great name, great name. He has received a five year
max extension worth up to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Up to two hundred eighty seven million.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So how do you categorize a player that is not
a household name getting a two hundred eighty seven million
dollar contract. So this is obviously not monopoly money. It
is not Powerball, it's not Mega millions. It is I
call it FaceTime. It is face of the franchise money.
(16:10):
Not that he is mister relevant in NBA circles.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
He's not. But that's the kind of money.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's the kind of contract that you get that you
have to carry the franchise.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You are the face of the franchise.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You have to sell out the box office, you have
to sell out the gymnasium on a random Tuesday night
in December when the Charlotte Hornets come to town and
no one cares. You have to sell the arena out.
Now is he that guy? Right now? You're not that guy, Pal,
You're not that guy. And the Orlando Sad Sack, Orlando Magic,
(16:51):
who've had a few runs of relevancy in my lifetime,
but few and far between, and certainly don't move the dial.
They don't move the need when it comes to the
Eastern Conference here. But that's the kind of a deal.
You think that guy is going to be a top
ten player in the NBA, That Paulo Banchero is going
to be a top ten player, and he's going to
make all NBA teams, who cares about all Star games?
(17:13):
All NBA teams. That's going to be where he's at.
And the ugly truth is, right now, again, we do
the show right now. He is not box office.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
No one's going out to watch him like they watch
Steph Curry with the Moneyball or even Luca with the
eurostep the razzle dazzle.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's not happening.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So the Magic, though, they're betting almost three hundred million.
That's up to two hundred and eighty seven and so
almost three hundred million, that he will be there, that
he will matriculate the basketball down the court with such gusto,
that he will have a metamorphosis and be the kind
of a player that in BC, because they've got the
(17:52):
new TV rights, NBC and the ESPN and all.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Them will circle the Orlando Magic and.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
They'll be like, all right, we have to go there,
and we have to show them, and we will not
skip Orlando like it's a it's a stopover in Fargo.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I don't even know if you can stop over in Fargo.
I think you can't.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But this is a franchise, the Orlando Magic, that has
been wandering aimlessly like gypsies through the desert there since
Dwight Howard said I'm out of here, and he took
his cape and left with a frown I'm gone.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm gonna do some dancing reality show in La and
all that stuff. But the magic, they obviously need Paulo
Boncero to be an alpha dog, be the closer.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I'd be the face of the franchise. Oh see.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But that's a lot of cash. So whether he's good
or not, he's getting the money. Unless he violates the
terms of the contract, the morals clause in the contract,
he's getting all that money.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It is the Ben Mahler Show.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Back to it we go and what do we have?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yes, you can't read that.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
On the air, Ryan from San Diego says, you know, Mike,
California Angels suck when they're lone All Star representative. I've
never heard of before my whole life. It reminds me
of when the late Mike Sharperson represented the Dodgers one
year as a utility player. Yeah, you know your team
(20:56):
is not going well when you have one All Star
and that is because every team must have an all Star.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You know things are not going particularly well. What else
do we have to see? Page down?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Mark in Santa Monica rites in says Juan Soto's former
teammates from the Nationals Padres and the Yankees never seemed
that broken.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Up after he was gone.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That speaks volumes, says Mark in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He was always that guy. He was one soda.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Remember when he went to the Padres and they offered
him like four hundred million and at the time, it
means it was it was gonna be like a like
a dam I mean four million dollars and he just
like snubbed his nose at it. And he was always
that soldier of fortune.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Which is great. I mean he's got his money.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And congratulations, he got every dollar. But he's just like a.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Gypsy bouncing right now.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He's gonna be with the metsrol long time and ten
years from now we'll forget about all this.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
But he's it's just that guy.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
He's like he never put down roots anywhere, just bounced
around because his goal was the almighty dollar and he won. Congratulations.
But people don't like him. He's not very popular. That
is the case. Now Bill's mafia guy says, Hey Mallard,
I'm back as a listener, and we're talking about one Soto.
He did not make the NL team. I would think
(22:26):
that a seven hundred and fifty million dollar contract would
guarantee you a spot. That's why we talked about it, says,
the highest paid player in the majors was not voted
to go to Atlanta by his fans, his peers, and
the league office. It's a good thumbnail recap of the
Mallor monologue. And now super Market Steve is in danger
of being blocked. He's trying to get me to lose
(22:49):
my job. He would like me to be fired, super
Market Steve, He continues to send WNBA propaganda my way. Now,
super Market Steve, I know you work at a growth store,
so you might not understand this what I do, Supermarkeut
Steve is broadcasting. You want narrow casting, He says. Your
biggest complain about every major sport other than the nfls
(23:11):
the players don't care and are too friendly.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Well, your answer, he says, it's the w NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Hey you go, he says, and he says he makes
a crude joke and says you're gonna have a guaranteed
fight every time. No, listen, you enjoy your WNBA and
you and seven of your great great friends can enjoy that.
And then when Caplin Clark pays, if something happens, we'll
talk about it. Other than that, not going to happen,
not going to happen. I'll go to the phones and
(23:39):
let's say.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Hello to Eeny Meenie miney mode.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Let's go to Van, the one legged Bama Man, who
is up next?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Hello, Van, Welcome, Hello Benny? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Let you know I got a job all for yesterday.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Congratulations. What are you going to be doing?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Wharton?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Alligator alphatrez?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh, yes, you know, those mosquitoes are very nice.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I hear that.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
The mosquitos the size of hummingbirds there, alligator allator.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know I actually did I when I covered spring
training years ago the Dodgers when he used to be
in Florida. I drove across Uh. Not not a lot
going on there in the middle of you better.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Make sure you have put your gas.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes, yes, yeah, you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You don't want to have a car problem out there,
especially at night at night. You definitely don't want to
have a car during the day, you got a shot.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I had a friend that had a car problem and
God blessed him. He was born with two crippled arms
and he's tuck but luckily some some good spirit and
stuff that they have to change this time.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh that's good. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well, what do you think about your Yankees?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Well, as you know along a lot of time Yankee fan, uh,
and I do love the mid season drama. The Dodgers
are going through a rough patch. The Yankees are going
through a rough patch right now, and then you realize
that it's the first I guess the second week now
of July, And uh.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You know, I don't I don't think the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I don't think are that great. I think the Dodgers
should be much better they are. I think the Yankees
are about where they're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
They're like there.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, I played the Yankees over achieved in the first
couple of months.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, although I watched I'll tell you this, when I
watched the Yankees, though, the thing that stands out is
why did the Dodgers do business with Blake Snell?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That loser? Blake's a bro.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I ain't playing unless I get mine, bro, Well, he
got paid, He's still not playing. Max Freed is an
LA guy. He grew up a Dodger fan. He wanted
to pitch for the Dodgers. And that a hole front
office of the Dodgers signed Blake Snell that they could
have had Max Freed, who's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, that's the guy that said they paid him. He's
still not playing.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He's made two more starts and you have Van, the
one legged bam of Man, two more stars than you have.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I'm risking my life. He's risking. He's not risking his life.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And that schmuck vassa enemy of this show, a friend
of Blake's, noew, which tells you all you need to know.
You can tell the character of people by the friends
they keep.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Well, I'm glad we didn't give either the Max Fray
or he gave me Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Well, you didn't give the Yankees Max free either. He
signed as a free agent. As you know, a friend,
I didn't you know. I did see a story about
your Atlanta Braves a Van, one of the Braves Beat
writers had a meltdown on social media.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Did you see this? One of the Atlanta bread Beat writers.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Because he's he was upset with the fans, saying that
the team's struggling and they're upset with the media for
not asking tough questions.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But essentially his rant, my cliff Notes.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Version of the rant is this Braves beat writer had
to melt down because no matter what he does, people complain. Uh,
And he's really sick of the fanboys on social media.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That's that's it. That if the.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Braves are winning, you shouldn't be asking tough questions. If
they're losing, Uh, you need to ask tough questions.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's like never enough.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
So he complaining one quick trivia question about Clayton Kershaw
three thousand track outs, okay, with two other players that
did this in the history of major late baseball beaching. Well,
I know what it is. You know what it is?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, I think what you mean is with one are
you talking about one team?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
One team?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah? Yeah, Well I know one is Bob Gibson, right,
I think one is Bob Gibson, the.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Other one's Walter Walter Johnson.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
There you go, here's what you want. Another you want another?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You want a fun fact about Clayton Kersh, I'll give
you a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You're ready for fun.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Fact Clayton Kershaw's father saying radio jingles for a big
jingle company in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
He's fun.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, his father was a jingle singer in Dallas road jingles,
radio job.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
What does my one two and a half?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Man?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Uh? His character wrote dangles. Yeah, let's just great, Charlie Jean.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Except this this is real. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Late is four and oh he good? Just tomorrow going
to the All Star. He didn't learn.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Bet the house, bet the house on the Brewers by
the way.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Uh, that'll be yeah already, of course, of course you did.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Why not.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Loss? All right, buddy, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Van the one legged Obama man who's going to move
the alligator Army Ali unless he's not. Andre is in
the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Ben, good to be with you. Uh this evening. Now, listen,
we started off talking about the deal that went down
with Miami Heat and the Clippers. I think this is
a value deal. Norman Palell, fringe All Star Star for
the l A Clippers, getting his opportunity in Miami. We
know that pat Riley loves these guys, right, hard work
(29:00):
just there on the cusp. I think that he will
shine out there, Collins athletic player. You know, he's moved
on to get a better opportunity. But Ben, it's looking
like the Phoenix Suns might have their window to come
up off of this Bradley Bial situation that they're looking at, right,
because Bradley Beal holding anchor on the franchise, just sitting
(29:20):
there with his no trade clause because he's like an
all time great, isn't that right, Ben?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Lebron James has a no trade clause, and then the
next all time player in the NBA with the no
trade clause is oh yeah, Bradley, Yes.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Bradley the Great Bradley bal who I love. I love
how NBA math works. Did you see this?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Andre?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So the math I read this earlier.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I was like, this can't be right, Like all these
salary caps are bullcrap. So Bradley Beal got all this
guaranteed money, and if he gives back fourteen million dollars,
which he's apparently agreed to do to the Suns, that
means that would save the Suns.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Two hundred and thirty million.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Dollars by him giving back fourteen million. Now that is
that's some fuzzy math is what that is.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Indeed, indeed, the second apron, Ben, I don't think we
needed a second apron that's over here having these owners.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yet I don't even need an ape. I cook all
the time. I don't even need an apron. I am
a rebel in the kitchen. I don't even use an
apron most of the time.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You do the pizza, pie muffins.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I do. I do the cookies.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I haven't made cookies in a while because I'm trying
to not you know, gain weight again and all that stuff.
So but I do like the pizza and the cheese steak,
the New York beef sandwich.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I make that a lot.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
So it's all good, excellent, excellent, excellent. And I think
this is how the people again in Phoenix and also
the clipper Land, they're salivating, you know, because Clippers first
of all first rate organization, and they do a lot
of reclamation projects. People that have issues touch and go
here and there. They come up under ty Low's leadership,
Lawrence Frank in the front office, Daddy Warbucks running the
whole show, and they find their stright. So this was
(30:52):
the case with James Harden. He's found a home. He's
a good citizen, even though he shouldn't have been an
All Star, should have went to Zubac or Norman Powell.
I think it's a good landing place for Bradley Beal
trying to find himself again. He's going to get on.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
So you're already jumping at you. You're already moving past
the John Collins move and a nineteen eight rebound guy,
and now you've already advanced. You're I'm saving my thoughts
on Bradley Beal until he agrees to the contract, and
then I will have a full Malla monologue about Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But you're already locking him in.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I know there are reports in the overnight that he's
head to the Clippers, that the reason they did the
John Collins deal was to get Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
So we'll see if that's announced later today.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Wonderful. You know, John Collin's good player, athlete. He's going
to go out there and get you a lot of
energy points and you know he'll he'll help a team,
you know. But I think, really what this is setting up,
I think the prize is for both teams. Bradley Beal,
who John's good playing Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Well, I don't want to say pride.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I mean Bradley Beal is a diminished asset at this
point we can we agree.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
On that is. Listen, he did not did not live.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Up to the anticipated abilities that he showed with Washington.
Uh in Arizona, he was a bust. He went belly
off with the Suns.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
So indeed, but Ben, But all I'm saying is, once
you find James Harden in the same the Clippers just
do a really good job taking folks that are on
the slippery slope, getting them back on some solid ground,
and then playing winning basketball. You know, they're always the
Clippers are essentially the Miami Heat of the Western Conference.
Right they don't believe in tanking. They're not a championship team,
but they're going to be a tough out for these
(32:27):
championship level teams, you know, and they you know, they
do it the right way, is what I'm saying. That's
why it's just nice because the Phoenix Suns, who I
think are a borderline dumpster fire, now this gives them
the opportunity to kind of start to rebuild. Even though
my issue was all billions of dollars running through head coaches.
He set them back good.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I don't hear Willis. I don't know where Willis is,
but I will over here. I w was you know
was he was?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
He was wrestling.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
We're going to to go for the world at dad.
Willis some exercise rain.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
I apologize, bro Brain's back and welcome back, and I
will alsill have some commentary. Next question.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
All right, oh, it's all right, there's a andre from
the Commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So Tom Brady, Tommrady.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
He recently said that at one point when he was
twenty seven years old with the Patriots, tom Brady said
he came this close to retiring at age twenty seven.
Now after the age of twenty seven, so up until
that point, Tom Brady had made nineteen point six million dollars.
It's a lot of money. He would go on to
(33:39):
make another three hundred and thirteen million after the age
of twenty seven, and he won four more Super Bowls
after that that. He claims he came real close to
retiring at age twenty seven, is going to walk away
from the NFL. And on top of that, he would
not have gotten that massive TV deal with five for
(34:00):
the same amount of money.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
So that's another one hundred million dollars or more than that,
so he's uh wor I five hundred million or something
like that. Man.
Speaker 3 (34:09):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Anyway, it is the Ben Malors Showtime now for the
Insta trivia. I have Mallard to the third degree. The

in the regular season with a sub two e or
a ninety or more strikeouts and fewer than five wins
are the Pirates Paul Schemes right now and Blank.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
That's the question. What is the answer? Let's see does
anyone know the answer?
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Andy and Lionel Lake says, I'm gonna go with your

What say you? Oh my goodness, Tiana, Princess Tianna, the
Princess Tianna. No, it is a different princess.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Jacob de Gram, Jacob and.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
De Gram, it's the manger. How about that?
Speaker 4 (37:26):
To the third degree?
Speaker 2 (37:29):
This is one gets all right?
Speaker 6 (37:33):
It was reported on Sunday that wide receiver Terry McLaurin
and the Commanders have not made any progress in negotiations
on a contracts extension as McLaurin continues to hold out
benef mclauren doesn't play. How much does that hurt Jane
and Daniels.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Well, Mclaurin's really good, And I guess the way I
all answered is it depends on whether Deebo Samuel's fat
Deebo Samuel or if he's in shape. Because if Deebo
Samuel plays like he did briefly for the forty nine ers,
the Washington whatever they're called, will be fun. If not,
they're screwed. And it is the quarterback that makes the receiver.
So Washington should figure things out, not the other way around.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Next, Chase Claypool seemed like he was on the path
to becoming a star receiver and then totally fell off
the map. Now he is taking the social media to
declare that he's completely healthy and ready to have the
best year of his career. Yes, but you think Claypool
can revive his career?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Maybe on TikTok. Possibly He's a guy he was like
the DeAndre Ayden of the NFL coop. He's just like
it wasn't somebody that hustled, kind of lazy cut corners,
and he had the talent to be a good player,
but he just didn't put the work in. And so
it's not whether he's healthy or not. He just doesn't
give a crap when he's on the field. That's why
he didn't make it.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Next, the NBA Summer League is debuting what they're calling
the heave Rule, where a last second shot at the
end of quarter doesn't count against a player's percentage.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Ben you think this is going to be coming to
the NBA. Yes, And the reason it's going to come
to the NBA.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
The NBA is upset that players won't shoot at the
end of quarters because they don't want their stats to
be heard.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
There's so good about their stats. One the losers, all right,
I one, alright, I unbelieving I always shoot at the
end of hight
Dinged, it's our num Bert talking bays ball. How embarrassing
is it for Mets outfielder Juan Soto to not be
named to the All Star roster, not by the fans,
not by his contemporaries, and not by.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The league office. Yikes.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Also, after not speaking originally on the subject, Clayton Kershaw
says that he's grateful for the quote weird but cool
All Star selection as a legend pick. Can you parse
the words of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection?
Also the Orlando Magic. That's a basketball team, not a
(00:43):
good one. The Orlando Magic just handed Paolo Boncero a
five year deal worth up to two hundred and eighty
seven million. How do you categorize that one? We'll get
to it right now. It's our number two. Not not
the King, silly, not anything but flushing, flush, flush, flush flush.
(01:08):
Wel come in the beginning of another hour for us
the Ben Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere
as we burn the clock with an audio bag of
funions coast to coast, Borderer, border and beyond on the
(01:28):
mast and rightfully, powerful microphones of fs are amminating live
from the song as we have to sing for our
supper from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by
our Hugh kidding me, big fan of that, and this
portion of the Ben Malors Show made possible in part
(01:51):
by our friends at tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
Ship fast and free, mister nice guy and back by
free road hazard protection. I know the friy Daddy likes
that with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire
rack dot Com the way tire bond should be. So
(02:15):
our lead this hour is from baseball and we.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Start out in Queens. The New York.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Metropolitans did not play, did not play on Monday. However,
there was much embarrassment, much embarrassment. One Soto, the fallout.
Everyone talking about this in Baseball. One Soto in his
first season with the New York Mets, the new mister
met signing a fifteen year contract for seven hundred and
(02:47):
sixty five million, bigger than the gross domestic product of
most small countries as a.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Free agent, and he was.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Not selected to Baseball's All Star roster. If you didn't
see this.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
So the fallout on this has been pretty extreme. One
Sodo snubbed by the fame, the fan said ixnay on
the Soto a and also by the people in baseball.
They didn't want one Sodo to be in the All
Star Game. Now there's always a possible, a possibility, there's
(03:23):
always a possibility that Juan Soto will be added. Players
get hurt they don't appear in the All Star Game.
So there will be some changes, but it doesn't matter.
We do the show today, and so right now, as
we're doing the show, one Soto is not on the
National League All Star roster. So let us discuss the
question how embarrassing, how embarrassing is it that the Mets
(03:47):
outfielder Juan Soto is not and not part of the
All Star Game, not named to the All Star roster.
So I've got ballot, box, letterman, jacket, and FaceTime and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to put the biscuit in the basket.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Is what we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So A number one, this is an emasculation situation, is
what it is. It is a lemon merangue pie a
delicious lemon merangue pie right to the face, right to
the schnaz here. So let's cut through all the noise,
all the nonsense like cacophony of noise. There one soda
(04:30):
is not winning the mister popular vote, not winning any
award here.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
And that's the real reason.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That's the real reason that he's on the outside looking in.
And the All Star Game, the All Star break starts
on Sunday night after the games were played on Sunday,
and the All Star Game in Georgia.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
So this is not about the stats.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Now, we did some early April monologues about the performance
of Wance not being up to the standard. It was
not at that time. Soto's numbers of late douce scream
all Star. He has had a late surge. If you
get a little tingle when somebody gets a walk one,
Soto's your player. He is third, we are told, if
(05:17):
you look at the Nerd numbers, he's third among all
NL outfielders. In ops, he's tied. I believe he's tied
for fourth.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
In terms of home runs.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
And he was the player of the month, if I'm
not mistaken, in the month of June.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
So those are all good things. Those are all those
are all good things.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
He has been a one man on base machine for
the Metropolitan drawing rot walks. You get a walk, you
get a walk, You get a walk, kind of like
a rotten fish draws flies a lot, a lot of walks. Now,
regardless of that, Baseball's All Star Game is not just
a pure stat based situation. Is a referendum on where
(06:00):
you fall in the cosmos of baseball at this time.
It is a popularity contest. Every man, woman and child
knows this. And it's supposely it's a meritocracy, but it's not.
It's a popularity contest. And the word in ballparks from
Boston to Seattle and from Miami to San Francisco, the
(06:22):
word is Juan Soto has rubbed enough people, enough people
the wrong way where he has not been added to
the guest list, not invited, and the players, remember the
players vote for the reserves. It's like one thing for
the fans to say, oh, we don't like this guy,
so we're going to stick it to Jan Soda.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
That's one thing.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
And people vote on their computers, you know, ten fifteen
times a day, whatever it is, but the backups not
the starters not to start. The reserves are named by
the players, and they did not circle or click the
button on Jan Soda. Neither did the Commissioner's office. They
didn't do it. They didn't do it. They get to
(07:08):
pick the final six All Stars. I believe that's how
that works. And so you would think that for Major
League Baseball. The league headquarters are in Midtown Manhattan. There's
a lot of met fans that work for Major League
Baseball in the league office. You would think a seven
hundred and sixty five million dollar player would at.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Least get an invite.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Didn't happen. That's not an accident. It's not Major League
Baseball's players, the fans, and the league office all went
into the ballot box and they issued a vote of
no confidence.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
For Juan Soto. Yeah they did.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But maybe I'll check. He's going to be there for
a long time with the Mets. But right now, Juan
Soto is covered in the cooties. Juan Soto has the cooties.
It's just the way it is. The Komodo dragon in
the room, we will address it. Is the demand of
Wan Soda clearly has rubbed people the wrong way here
oozing with swagger, but the swagger turned out to be
(08:07):
the dagger in many respects. Here he has not won
the hearts, minds, and voters. The Soto shuffle as it
is known, and pretty much after every pitch, every pitch
that he doesn't swing at. By the way, if you
watch the Mets, and you watch them with the Yankees
or the Podres or whoever, so he does a little dance,
(08:28):
it's kind.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Of like giving the bird. The bird is the word.
The bird is the word.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
He gives the bird to the pitcher, the umpire and
anyone else who thinks he should actually wait until he
does something before he does a little shuffle.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
And all that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
And so clearly there are enough people in baseball that
don't like it.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He said, well, it's just baseball. They're all buttoned up.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
There's enough people that grumble when Sodo does this that
he's show voting one soo. And also the teammates, some
of them, now they won't say it on the record
because that's taboo, but they clearly are rolling their eye.
Is Juan Sotos act there And when the cameras are
not paying attention behind closed doors, they're whispering and they're
not whispering sweet nothings. And it's all burn dogging the
(09:10):
seven hundred and sixty five million dollar man. Of course,
after taxes New York taxes, that's about twenty million, about
twenty million. Anyway, listen, it's it's all bird dogging Juan
Sodo around the Big Lease. Remember in Washington, Remember when
he came on the scene, the hot shot prodigy of baseball.
He had that natitude in DC and he was the
(09:34):
golden child of Major League Baseball. Oh my god, but
they were whispering even then. You know, he's gonna he's
gonna have to grow up. It's more about Wan than
the team. It's all about Wan. Then he went out
to San Diego, ate some fish tacos with the Padres,
tried to stay away from Poppy when he was in
San Diego, went down a beautiful San Diego, America's finest city.
(09:56):
They used to put it on the police cars went there,
and Padre players did not did not exactly open open
the door with you know, get him a hug, with warm, warm,
loving vibrations there, did not throw him a parade. Then
he went to the Bronx and even Aaron Judge the
(10:17):
judge Tonian Aaron Judge, mister nice guy. Everyone loves him. Oh,
you can't say anything bad about Aaron Judge. They didn't.
Didn't seem like he was too bummed out when Juan
Soto skidaddled across from his burrow to the next borough over.
Didn't seem too upset by that. And so Soto, who
(10:38):
often plays like he's auditioning for a statue, let me
strike a pose. I'm gonna strike a pose. There clearly
not winning over baseball, at least today. We do the
show today and as of today that is not the case.
Thus he is not an all start again. He might
be added, you know, tomorrow, the next day, whenever. It
doesn't matter right now, not the initial wave. It's like
(11:02):
when they used to play the Pro Bowl, before the
players in the NFL became pansies and they stopped playing
the Pro Bowl, and now they do like tic tac toe.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
But back when they did the Pro Bowl, there.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Would always be ten guys on each team that skipped
out on the Pro Bowl, and so other people would
be added, and it got so ridiculous. I think one
year Vince Young, who sucked, made.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The Pro Bowl.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
He was a Pro Bowl quarterback, which really must have
upset him because I don't think there was a cheesecake
factory right next to a Loja stadium. They might not
be even one in o' Wahu, which must have been
upsetting anyway. Now turning the page, we go to La
La Land. Why actually in Milwaukee where the brew crew
shoved the meatball down the throat of the Dodgers. But
(11:45):
that's not the story here. A random baseball game in
July not to story the story here. After not speaking
to reporters on Sunday when the news came out, Clayton
Kershaw did break his silence. The day after, Clayton Kershaw
said that he is quote grateful. He said, it's weird
(12:06):
but cool, weird but cool that he was named an
All Star selection on a Legends pick by rob Manfreud,
a Legends pick for Clayton Kershaw. So can you parse
the words? Here's the question. Can you parse the words
of Clayton Kershaw on this All Star selection, the Legend pick?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So this is not that deep.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Kershaw admitted that he does not deserve to be at
the All Star Game, as we anticipated the vibe.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I got he doesn't want to go.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Now, he's not gonna come out and be a total schmuck,
and he'll show up, but he'd rather not go. And
he's right, he doesn't belong in the All Star Game,
and he's gonna go and he's gonna put on a
happy face and all that. But major League Baseball, and
they added this a few years ago, they haven't done
it in a couple of years. Is the Legends addition
(13:02):
to the All Star Game. But major League Baseball turning
it into your aunt's Facebook page, right, a lot of nostalgia,
a lot of participation, trophy congratulations, and you're pretending it's
ten years ago if you're Clayton Kershaw and all that stuff.
But if you gave him truth serum, if you injected
Kershaw with a needle full of truth serum, he would
(13:25):
rather be on a beach somewhere or back in his
home in Texas with his kids, then standing on the
foul line in Atlanta and tipping his cap and you know,
like he's some kind of figurine from Cooperstown or something
like that.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So he'd much rather be on vacation.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
And he's gonna go, and he'll be there at the
All Star game he would rather not, And Kershaw it
is odd because him dropping into the All Star Game
based on his body work, which he admits he's only
made nine starts. It's like a guy showing up to
a wedding that they were not invited to.
Speaker 2 (14:03):
Just like wedding crashers.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
You show up at the wedding and it's like, well,
I probably shouldn't be here, but.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
There's an open bar. Baby, here I am.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Now at the end of the day, he said, it's weird,
Kershaw said, but it's cool, so I'm just going to
enjoy it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
No, he's not, Kershaw said.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He says, you know what else, there's another partist Like
he said weird and cool and all that stuff, and
he talked about some other random things.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But it's like a forty year old.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Dude at the high school reunion wearing the letterman's jacket
that shows up there and he's like, hey, you know,
I am ordering my high school self. Here I am,
And Kershaw knows he's undeserving of this. He is, and
you know, you don't expect him to get into the
All Star Game. So he's not gonna play. He's just
(14:54):
gonna go there. He shows up to Atlanta. He checks
into the Five Star hotel as a smile for the
camp Mraz.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
He waves, he tips his cap.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Maybe he'll go on microphone on the All Star broadcast
and all that stuff. At that point, if you're not
playing in the All Star Game and you're just there
to tip the cap and to wave with the.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Crowd, are you or are you not? A mascot? Is
Clayton Kurdashaw?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Not like the Philly fanatic or Wally the Green Monster
or mister med or Bernie Brewer. That's what he is.
If he shows up to the All Name not gonna
play legends. Pick there you go? All right, final point?
We quickly we go to Orlando, Big NBA signing, Big
NBA signing. The Orlando Magic have handed paul O Boncherro,
(15:38):
great name, great name. He has received a five year
max extension worth up to.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Up to two hundred eighty seven million.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So how do you categorize a player that is not
a household name getting a two hundred eighty seven million
dollar contract. So this is obviously not monopoly money. It
is not Powerball, it's not Mega millions. It is I
call it FaceTime. It is face of the franchise money.
(16:10):
Not that he is mister relevant in NBA circles.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
He's not. But that's the kind of money.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
That's the kind of contract that you get that you
have to carry the franchise.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
You are the face of the franchise.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
You have to sell out the box office, you have
to sell out the gymnasium on a random Tuesday night
in December when the Charlotte Hornets come to town and
no one cares. You have to sell the arena out.
Now is he that guy? Right now? You're not that guy, Pal,
You're not that guy. And the Orlando Sad Sack, Orlando Magic,
(16:51):
who've had a few runs of relevancy in my lifetime,
but few and far between, and certainly don't move the dial.
They don't move the need when it comes to the
Eastern Conference here. But that's the kind of a deal.
You think that guy is going to be a top
ten player in the NBA, That Paulo Banchero is going
to be a top ten player, and he's going to
make all NBA teams, who cares about all Star games?
(17:13):
All NBA teams. That's going to be where he's at.
And the ugly truth is, right now, again, we do
the show right now. He is not box office.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
No one's going out to watch him like they watch
Steph Curry with the Moneyball or even Luca with the
eurostep the razzle dazzle.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's not happening.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So the Magic, though, they're betting almost three hundred million.
That's up to two hundred and eighty seven and so
almost three hundred million, that he will be there, that
he will matriculate the basketball down the court with such gusto,
that he will have a metamorphosis and be the kind
of a player that in BC, because they've got the
(17:52):
new TV rights, NBC and the ESPN and all.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Them will circle the Orlando Magic and.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
They'll be like, all right, we have to go there,
and we have to show them, and we will not
skip Orlando like it's a it's a stopover in Fargo.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I don't even know if you can stop over in Fargo.
I think you can't.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
But this is a franchise, the Orlando Magic, that has
been wandering aimlessly like gypsies through the desert there since
Dwight Howard said I'm out of here, and he took
his cape and left with a frown I'm gone.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I'm gonna do some dancing reality show in La and
all that stuff. But the magic, they obviously need Paulo
Boncero to be an alpha dog, be the closer.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
I'd be the face of the franchise. Oh see.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But that's a lot of cash. So whether he's good
or not, he's getting the money. Unless he violates the
terms of the contract, the morals clause in the contract,
he's getting all that money.
Speaker 2 (18:49):

Speaker 1 (20:30):
Back to it we go and what do we have?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yes, you can't read that.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
On the air, Ryan from San Diego says, you know, Mike,
California Angels suck when they're lone All Star representative. I've
never heard of before my whole life. It reminds me
of when the late Mike Sharperson represented the Dodgers one
year as a utility player. Yeah, you know your team
(20:56):
is not going well when you have one All Star
and that is because every team must have an all Star.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
You know things are not going particularly well. What else
do we have to see? Page down?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Mark in Santa Monica rites in says Juan Soto's former
teammates from the Nationals Padres and the Yankees never seemed
that broken.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Up after he was gone.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
That speaks volumes, says Mark in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
He was always that guy. He was one soda.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Remember when he went to the Padres and they offered
him like four hundred million and at the time, it
means it was it was gonna be like a like
a dam I mean four million dollars and he just
like snubbed his nose at it. And he was always
that soldier of fortune.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Which is great. I mean he's got his money.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
And congratulations, he got every dollar. But he's just like a.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Gypsy bouncing right now.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
He's gonna be with the metsrol long time and ten
years from now we'll forget about all this.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
But he's it's just that guy.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
He's like he never put down roots anywhere, just bounced
around because his goal was the almighty dollar and he won. Congratulations.
But people don't like him. He's not very popular. That
is the case. Now Bill's mafia guy says, Hey Mallard,
I'm back as a listener, and we're talking about one Soto.
He did not make the NL team. I would think
(22:26):
that a seven hundred and fifty million dollar contract would
guarantee you a spot. That's why we talked about it, says,
the highest paid player in the majors was not voted
to go to Atlanta by his fans, his peers, and
the league office. It's a good thumbnail recap of the
Mallor monologue. And now super Market Steve is in danger
of being blocked. He's trying to get me to lose
(22:49):
my job. He would like me to be fired, super
Market Steve, He continues to send WNBA propaganda my way. Now,
super Market Steve, I know you work at a growth store,
so you might not understand this what I do, Supermarkeut
Steve is broadcasting. You want narrow casting, He says. Your
biggest complain about every major sport other than the nfls
(23:11):
the players don't care and are too friendly.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Well, your answer, he says, it's the w NBA.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Hey you go, he says, and he says he makes
a crude joke and says you're gonna have a guaranteed
fight every time. No, listen, you enjoy your WNBA and
you and seven of your great great friends can enjoy that.
And then when Caplin Clark pays, if something happens, we'll
talk about it. Other than that, not going to happen,
not going to happen. I'll go to the phones and
(23:39):
let's say.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Hello to Eeny Meenie miney mode.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Let's go to Van, the one legged Bama Man, who
is up next?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Hello, Van, Welcome, Hello Benny? What's going on?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Let you know I got a job all for yesterday.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Congratulations. What are you going to be doing?
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Wharton?
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Alligator alphatrez?
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh, yes, you know, those mosquitoes are very nice.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I hear that.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
The mosquitos the size of hummingbirds there, alligator allator.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know I actually did I when I covered spring
training years ago the Dodgers when he used to be
in Florida. I drove across Uh. Not not a lot
going on there in the middle of you better.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Make sure you have put your gas.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yes, yes, yeah, you don't.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
You don't want to have a car problem out there,
especially at night at night. You definitely don't want to
have a car during the day, you got a shot.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I had a friend that had a car problem and
God blessed him. He was born with two crippled arms
and he's tuck but luckily some some good spirit and
stuff that they have to change this time.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Oh that's good. Yeah, that's good.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well, what do you think about your Yankees?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Well, as you know along a lot of time Yankee fan, uh,
and I do love the mid season drama. The Dodgers
are going through a rough patch. The Yankees are going
through a rough patch right now, and then you realize
that it's the first I guess the second week now
of July, And uh.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
You know, I don't I don't think the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
I don't think are that great. I think the Dodgers
should be much better they are. I think the Yankees
are about where they're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
They're like there.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Yeah, I played the Yankees over achieved in the first
couple of months.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Yeah, although I watched I'll tell you this, when I
watched the Yankees, though, the thing that stands out is
why did the Dodgers do business with Blake Snell?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
That loser? Blake's a bro.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I ain't playing unless I get mine, bro, Well, he
got paid, He's still not playing. Max Freed is an
LA guy. He grew up a Dodger fan. He wanted
to pitch for the Dodgers. And that a hole front
office of the Dodgers signed Blake Snell that they could
have had Max Freed, who's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Yeah, that's the guy that said they paid him. He's
still not playing.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
He's made two more starts and you have Van, the
one legged bam of Man, two more stars than you have.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I'm risking my life. He's risking. He's not risking his life.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
And that schmuck vassa enemy of this show, a friend
of Blake's, noew, which tells you all you need to know.
You can tell the character of people by the friends
they keep.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Well, I'm glad we didn't give either the Max Fray
or he gave me Freddy Freeman.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Well, you didn't give the Yankees Max free either. He
signed as a free agent. As you know, a friend,
I didn't you know. I did see a story about
your Atlanta Braves a Van, one of the Braves Beat
writers had a meltdown on social media.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Did you see this? One of the Atlanta bread Beat writers.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Because he's he was upset with the fans, saying that
the team's struggling and they're upset with the media for
not asking tough questions.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
But essentially his rant, my cliff Notes.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Version of the rant is this Braves beat writer had
to melt down because no matter what he does, people complain. Uh,
And he's really sick of the fanboys on social media.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
That's that's it. That if the.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Braves are winning, you shouldn't be asking tough questions. If
they're losing, Uh, you need to ask tough questions.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
It's like never enough.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
So he complaining one quick trivia question about Clayton Kershaw
three thousand track outs, okay, with two other players that
did this in the history of major late baseball beaching. Well,
I know what it is. You know what it is?
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, I think what you mean is with one are
you talking about one team?
Speaker 3 (27:28):
One team?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Yeah? Yeah, Well I know one is Bob Gibson, right,
I think one is Bob Gibson, the.
Speaker 3 (27:34):
Other one's Walter Walter Johnson.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
There you go, here's what you want. Another you want another?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
You want a fun fact about Clayton Kersh, I'll give
you a fun fact.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
You're ready for fun.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Fact Clayton Kershaw's father saying radio jingles for a big
jingle company in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
He's fun.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, his father was a jingle singer in Dallas road jingles,
radio job.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
What does my one two and a half?
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Man?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
Uh? His character wrote dangles. Yeah, let's just great, Charlie Jean.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Except this this is real. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Late is four and oh he good? Just tomorrow going
to the All Star. He didn't learn.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Bet the house, bet the house on the Brewers by
the way.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Uh, that'll be yeah already, of course, of course you did.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Why not.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Loss? All right, buddy, all right, there you go.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Van the one legged Obama man who's going to move
the alligator Army Ali unless he's not. Andre is in
the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Ben, good to be with you. Uh this evening. Now, listen,
we started off talking about the deal that went down
with Miami Heat and the Clippers. I think this is
a value deal. Norman Palell, fringe All Star Star for
the l A Clippers, getting his opportunity in Miami. We
know that pat Riley loves these guys, right, hard work
(29:00):
just there on the cusp. I think that he will
shine out there, Collins athletic player. You know, he's moved
on to get a better opportunity. But Ben, it's looking
like the Phoenix Suns might have their window to come
up off of this Bradley Bial situation that they're looking at, right,
because Bradley Beal holding anchor on the franchise, just sitting
(29:20):
there with his no trade clause because he's like an
all time great, isn't that right, Ben?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Right?
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Lebron James has a no trade clause, and then the
next all time player in the NBA with the no
trade clause is oh yeah, Bradley, Yes.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Bradley the Great Bradley bal who I love. I love
how NBA math works. Did you see this?
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Andre?
Speaker 2 (29:38):
So the math I read this earlier.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I was like, this can't be right, Like all these
salary caps are bullcrap. So Bradley Beal got all this
guaranteed money, and if he gives back fourteen million dollars,
which he's apparently agreed to do to the Suns, that
means that would save the Suns.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Two hundred and thirty million.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Dollars by him giving back fourteen million. Now that is
that's some fuzzy math is what that is.
Speaker 5 (30:02):
Indeed, indeed, the second apron, Ben, I don't think we
needed a second apron that's over here having these owners.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yet I don't even need an ape. I cook all
the time. I don't even need an apron. I am
a rebel in the kitchen. I don't even use an
apron most of the time.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
You do the pizza, pie muffins.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
I do. I do the cookies.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I haven't made cookies in a while because I'm trying
to not you know, gain weight again and all that stuff.
So but I do like the pizza and the cheese steak,
the New York beef sandwich.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
I make that a lot.
Speaker 5 (30:30):
So it's all good, excellent, excellent, excellent. And I think
this is how the people again in Phoenix and also
the clipper Land, they're salivating, you know, because Clippers first
of all first rate organization, and they do a lot
of reclamation projects. People that have issues touch and go
here and there. They come up under ty Low's leadership,
Lawrence Frank in the front office, Daddy Warbucks running the
whole show, and they find their stright. So this was
(30:52):
the case with James Harden. He's found a home. He's
a good citizen, even though he shouldn't have been an
All Star, should have went to Zubac or Norman Powell.
I think it's a good landing place for Bradley Beal
trying to find himself again. He's going to get on.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
So you're already jumping at you. You're already moving past
the John Collins move and a nineteen eight rebound guy,
and now you've already advanced. You're I'm saving my thoughts
on Bradley Beal until he agrees to the contract, and
then I will have a full Malla monologue about Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
But you're already locking him in.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I know there are reports in the overnight that he's
head to the Clippers, that the reason they did the
John Collins deal was to get Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
So we'll see if that's announced later today.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
Wonderful. You know, John Collin's good player, athlete. He's going
to go out there and get you a lot of
energy points and you know he'll he'll help a team,
you know. But I think, really what this is setting up,
I think the prize is for both teams. Bradley Beal,
who John's good playing Bradley Beal.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
Well, I don't want to say pride.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I mean Bradley Beal is a diminished asset at this
point we can we agree.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
On that is. Listen, he did not did not live.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Up to the anticipated abilities that he showed with Washington.
Uh in Arizona, he was a bust. He went belly
off with the Suns.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
So indeed, but Ben, But all I'm saying is, once
you find James Harden in the same the Clippers just
do a really good job taking folks that are on
the slippery slope, getting them back on some solid ground,
and then playing winning basketball. You know, they're always the
Clippers are essentially the Miami Heat of the Western Conference.
Right they don't believe in tanking. They're not a championship team,
but they're going to be a tough out for these
(32:27):
championship level teams, you know, and they you know, they
do it the right way, is what I'm saying. That's
why it's just nice because the Phoenix Suns, who I
think are a borderline dumpster fire, now this gives them
the opportunity to kind of start to rebuild. Even though
my issue was all billions of dollars running through head coaches.
He set them back good.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I don't hear Willis. I don't know where Willis is,
but I will over here. I w was you know
was he was?
Speaker 5 (32:57):
He was wrestling.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
We're going to to go for the world at dad.
Willis some exercise rain.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
I apologize, bro Brain's back and welcome back, and I
will alsill have some commentary. Next question.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
All right, oh, it's all right, there's a andre from
the Commonwealth.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
So Tom Brady, Tommrady.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
He recently said that at one point when he was
twenty seven years old with the Patriots, tom Brady said
he came this close to retiring at age twenty seven.
Now after the age of twenty seven, so up until
that point, Tom Brady had made nineteen point six million dollars.
It's a lot of money. He would go on to
(33:39):
make another three hundred and thirteen million after the age
of twenty seven, and he won four more Super Bowls
after that that. He claims he came real close to
retiring at age twenty seven, is going to walk away
from the NFL. And on top of that, he would
not have gotten that massive TV deal with five for
(34:00):
the same amount of money.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
So that's another one hundred million dollars or more than that,

Speaker 4 (37:26):
To the third degree?
Speaker 2 (37:29):

Speaker 6 (37:33):
It was reported on Sunday that wide receiver Terry McLaurin
and the Commanders have not made any progress in negotiations
on a contracts extension as McLaurin continues to hold out
benef mclauren doesn't play. How much does that hurt Jane
and Daniels.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Well, Mclaurin's really good, And I guess the way I
all answered is it depends on whether Deebo Samuel's fat
Deebo Samuel or if he's in shape. Because if Deebo
Samuel plays like he did briefly for the forty nine ers,
the Washington whatever they're called, will be fun. If not,
they're screwed. And it is the quarterback that makes the receiver.
So Washington should figure things out, not the other way around.
Speaker 6 (38:08):
Next, Chase Claypool seemed like he was on the path
to becoming a star receiver and then totally fell off
the map. Now he is taking the social media to
declare that he's completely healthy and ready to have the
best year of his career. Yes, but you think Claypool
can revive his career?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Maybe on TikTok. Possibly He's a guy he was like
the DeAndre Ayden of the NFL coop. He's just like
it wasn't somebody that hustled, kind of lazy cut corners,
and he had the talent to be a good player,
but he just didn't put the work in. And so
it's not whether he's healthy or not. He just doesn't
give a crap when he's on the field. That's why
he didn't make it.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
Next, the NBA Summer League is debuting what they're calling
the heave Rule, where a last second shot at the
end of quarter doesn't count against a player's percentage.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
Ben you think this is going to be coming to
the NBA. Yes, And the reason it's going to come
to the NBA.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
The NBA is upset that players won't shoot at the
end of quarters because they don't want their stats to
be heard.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
There's so good about their stats. One the losers, all right,
I one, alright, I unbelieving I always shoot at the
end of hight
