Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our nume bird two, our two ready to go,
and we enter the domain of tick talk in the
NFL stoy NFL story from the TikTok World. How does
this Brandon auc TikTok video change things in his negotiation
(00:22):
with the forty nine ers if you didn't see it
or hear about it, Brandon Auk essentially saying on video
he did say they don't want me, implying it was
the forty nine ers. Also, where are the most logical
landing spots for Brandon Ayuk in the dimension that he
is traded in? Let's assume the multiverse that he ends
up being traded and Chargers defensive star Joey Bosa says
(00:45):
that winning is more important than making extra money.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Is that reality based? We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number two. The plot thickens by the bay.
Well come, in the beginning of another hour of The
Ben Mathers Show.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
We are in the air everywhere, righting the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Waves as we shoot hoops coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and swaggeringly powerful
microphones of FS are emmnating live from the machine, the
lean mean wrecking Machine. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq
(01:34):
dot com studios. Tyraq dot com will help you get
there in unmatched selection, fast ree shipping, free road hazard
protection at over ten thousand recommended installers. Ryan in San
Diego remembers when there were that many professional sports teams
in San Diego. Tireraq dot com the way tire buying
(01:57):
should be in our lead this hour, coming from Football Now.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was gonna do a couple.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Hours on the NBA Finals, and I made an editorial
decision that we're being covered up by some jackwagon in Boston.
So I decided, well, we don't have to spend two
hours talking about the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But if you want to talk about it more, we can.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'm not gonna do another Milor monologue about the Celtics
because that doesn't pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And based on the ratings, not many people were watching
the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But our headline this hour, our lead, this hour coming
from grumbling in pro sports that feeds a lot of
content in these parts. And dateline our dateline social media,
dateline social media that is where we have a humdinger
humdinger of a story. It is our obligatory Malard monologue
(02:45):
about the life and times of disgruntled wide receiver Brandon
IOOC of the raining NFC champion and Super Bowl runner.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Up forty nine Ers. So if you haven't heard the
latest on this, and maybe you missed it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Brandon I appeared on a dramatic TikTok video with Jaden Dingels,
that's a quarterback for the Washington football team. He told
the quarterback his buddy there, he said, they said they
don't want me back. I swear. He said they they
(03:20):
said they don't want me back.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I swear.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The implication obviously that that is the forty nine ers
that do not want Brandon Aok back. So this thing
went viral among football hard ohs. Everyone has a different
opinion on it. Many people are naive to this particular story.
That's why we are here providing gas baggery. So let
us discuss the question, how does this Brandon Aok TikTok
(03:43):
video where he says they said they.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Don't want me back, I swear, How does this change
things with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So I've got cartoonish chuck e cheese and lobster and
we will combine all all of these things together and
we will wag the dog, will wag the dog.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So Number one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Brand and I are cooking a casse role of fun
fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun, kind
of like our fun facts, like a celebrity chef. Brandon, iok,
a the Niners. He's going like bam, like that, and
then let's kick it up a notch. He wasn't happy
with what he was hearing from the forty nine ers,
and so amid those reports that they were at impass
(04:35):
on a contract agreement, he randomly drops the video from TikTok.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'm sure that.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Is just a quinkie dink. It's just an odd set
of circumstances. These things are not related. Now, I will
tell you based on a second long review of the
available video from TikTok. I'm not on TikTok because I'm
too old for that, but I did check out the
video which people sent me. I did notice body language,
the body language of Brandon.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Iok.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He had the body language of someone that was happy,
having fun, smiling. He could not even keep his poker face.
Bad job by him, no poker face. The whole thing
struck me as cartoonish.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It was Deputy Dog is what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
The smart money says that this was just an amateurish
negotiating tactic by Brandon Ayuk of the forty nine Ers,
that he is simply doing what Klay Thompson is trying
to do in the Bay Area, where he's trying to
get the Warrior fans to put pressure on the team
to give.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Him more money.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, same concept, different team, different situation, but similar result
the effort. Based on the body language, He's a bad actor,
Brandon Auch did. He's deputizing like Deputy Dog. He's deputizing
the forty nine or fan base there the boot liquors
to do the dirty work for him. Fight the battle,
(06:03):
his battle on the battle front, which is social media, radio,
shows like this, television and all is fair in love,
war and contract negotiations. It is a messy process or
process depending on which word you choose to use. But
the endgame is delicious, absolutely delicious. And it's not personal. No, no, no,
(06:26):
it's not personal. It's just business. It's not personal. Not
page two. So let's pivot away. Here we go now
to the really amazing, amazing set of circumstances around Brandon
and I now clearly he wants to get paid if
the Niners aren't going to pay him. Let's just for
(06:46):
a second, we'll say we live in the multiverse, and
that we're now in the dimension. We have now transported
to the dimension where the forty nine ers are so
fed up with this cartoonish move by Brandon Iuk that
they say, you know what, We're gonna trade his ass. Okay,
So let's play the game where on God's Green Earth
(07:08):
is the most logical landing spot for Brandon Ayuk in
trade talks. So, I hope you're good at ski ball.
I hope you're good at ski ball here, because you
gotta in order to get the player, you gotta win
a lot of those tickets and get head with that
chuck e cheese prize counter and good luck. Now looking
in to the crystal ball, I've got steel City Beer,
(07:33):
wings and cream pie, and we will look combine all
of these things together and we'll tell you exactly where
he's gonna end up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So the first one is rather obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The pets Burg Steelers, the Insers make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You've got the Steel City Beer right there, they have
flirted publicly.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
If I am not mistaken doing this show over the
last couple of months, I recall Brandon Ayuk who was
tickling the toes of Mike Tomlin on the Socials Pittsburgh.
They've got a bit of a blank spot on the
bingo card at wide receiver outside of George Pickens. Outside
of George Pickens, you have Van Jefferson, who's not very good.
(08:12):
He's a jag, not an actual Jacksonville jack. He's just
a jag, just a guy and nothing else. Now, the
wings would be a wing and a prayer, which would
be flying with the Jets. J Ts suck, Suck, suck
as the Jets are all in as they try to
salvage what's left of Aaron Rodgers while he comes off
(08:34):
his ayahuasca high. And then you've got the other option,
which is some delicious Boston cream pie, just wonderful. With
the Patriots back being the patsis of the NFL, and
they have their new quarterback of the future as opposed
to the last quarterback of the future, Mac Jones, and.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So you say, well, there's a shot.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
They want to improve their chances, they want to get
a real receiver and so here's an opportunity. They have
money to burn. All right, final point, We now pivot
to Los Angeles. We're Chargers. Chargers defensive star Joey Bosa
not to be confused with his better half who's his brother,
Not his half, but his brother who's a better player.
But Joey Bosa says that winning, winning is more important
(09:23):
to him than making extra money. He took a pay
cut this offseason from Hardball and the Chargers. So Charger
defensive star Joey Bosa saying that it's more important to
win than to make extra money. Is this reality based?
Is this based in any reality?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
No, this is a trip to the laundry mat, the
old spin zone. In a perfect world, a perfect world,
what happens here? Let's do the whole perfect world thing. Well,
you turned to Lobster, right, I was using the lobster analogy,
Like Red Lobster, they're going out of business supposal every
down on the internet must be.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
True, but Red Lopster. You go into Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And you get the only thing that should stick around
once that place goes out of business is that the
Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So you get the Cheddar Bay biscuits.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
From Red Lobster, and I'm talking warm biscuits, like a
basket of warm biscuits. And then if you're Joey Bosa,
you butter both sides because that's what the goal is.
The goal is not to well, I can either win
or I need more money. No, the goal is to
get both. The goal should be to get both, buttering
(10:32):
both sides of the biscuit. And Bosa can't get that
done because he has a problem and it's the.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
D as in durability.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Not that you pervert, but Joey Bosa has a seventy
eight point nine percent chance based on the projections of
being hurt in twenty twenty four and because of that,
he is underachieved. When he's played, He's often made impactful
play for the Chargers. But that is why Jim Harbaugh said, Nope,
(11:05):
you got to give some money back. And Joey Bosa
could have rejected the pay reduction and said no, Keenan
Allen did that. Keenan Allen's now getting ready to spend
his time with the Chicago Bears, and he knows Joey Bosa.
The astro turf is not always greener on the other side.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
This is the Ben Malers Show if you'd like to
comment on any of that, or the champion crown in
the NBA, the Boston Celtics have won the championship as
they take home the honors and.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The Mavericks never led just another what's the right word here?
The finals that was lacking the wow.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You knew it wasn't particularly gonna be good going in,
and it lived up to that billing. Just not a
lot of plot twists, not a lot of turns. Celtics
were clearly the better team as we anticipated they would be,
and the end up celebrating and get the duck boats.
Radio have another parade in Boston. Is there a spoder
(12:09):
in the building? Is there a spider in the building?
Television needs you.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
We'll get to that and we will do it negs.

he's at uh Bronco Fan.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Justin Prefers Black Statland, a Bronco.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Fan and alive from the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Fergie Dogger writs, and he says, I think it's important
Ben to point out that despite all the titles, Boston
teams have been winning recently. They still haven't won a
single WNBA championship, and Eddie Garcia is not impressed with
that is true. Eddie is our WNBA guy, He's our
insider all things WNBA.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
He's got that covered. Shane from des Moines says.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Not that they are logical people, but what is the
logic of Bronnie James limiting his job options when he
has limited skills to begin with.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's not like his lack of talent is a secret. Well,
you know what, Shane, He's got the right DNA all right.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Lebron is the he's like the godfather of the NBA,
and Lebron his agent, Rich Paul, is the most powerful
agent in the NBA, and so they can manipulate just
like politicians manipulate election. They think they've got this all
figured out. That would be awesome if the Lakers and
the Son said screw you, we're not gonna draft you now,
that would be great.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But that ain't gonna happen. And I was talking to
somebody else. I don't talk to anyone. I text someone
the other.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Day, and they think they've got this grand conspiracy that
someone like the Mavericks or team in Atlanta. That's trying
to sell tickets, will draft Brownie James thinking they can
coerce Lebron to come to their team. That was a
popular theory a while back, and a friend of mine.
(15:13):
It wouldn't be shocked if if that happened. But we will,
We'll find out, Shane. Let's skip over that one. Who
else you have?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Page down?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Bill writes in he says, if Genie doesn't call pat Riley,
she's got one other option. Sam Cassell, Sam is legit.
You wanna beat a Celtic, hire a Celtic. Hey, you're
not gonna You're not gonna have me saything about about
Sam Cassell unless he coaches the Lakers, right.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I love Cassel.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
One of my favorite clips from back in the day,
Sam Cassell, half man, half Aliens phone home with the
Minnesota Timberls. I was there when the conference finals back
years ago, and just got there again now, mass o'
mickey says Championship edition of the second hour mal Of monologue.
But we all know Craft is too cheap trade for Brandon.
I yeah, well, he's got spends his money on the
(16:04):
day spot. So is there a spider in the building?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Trust me?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's one of my favorite stories of the day. I
will give it to you in a couple of minutes.
Let's go to the phone's low and we'll say hello
to Jerome in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome, Hello, Jerome, hey.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Man speaking to Clippers. What happened to Donald Sterling's little girlfriend? You?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I'm not her, I'm not her mother.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I don't know what. What do you want me to say?
I don't know what do you want? V V Steviano
is that her name?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
They got a new movie on. Have you watched it yet? No?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I don't want to watch that. No, the Clippers, man,
I don't want to watch it. I know too.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I know where the bodies are buried. How about that?
How about that? Jerome, I know where the bodies are buried.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Hey, I just want to know something. Then and there. Hell,
Donald Sterling was able to own the clip for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
NOI be come gero jero, Come on, Jerome, listen. Once
you get into the fraternity, you're in the fraternity.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's very hard.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Up until recent years, it's hard to get kicked out
of the fraternity, and Sterling was the first one to
get kicked out. But no, I saw things in that time.
I mean, I had a buddy of mine that did
the Clipper postgame show and one of my favorite stories
I've told this on the podcast. But the Clippers were
playing the Suns. This is when they had Elton Brand
and they were in games set.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
The Dookies well.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Great, I mean he was he was a good player.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
But anyway, so the Clippers are the Clippers are playing
the Suns in a game seven to go to the
conference finals.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Right, this is years ago, and I happy.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I I was in Phoenix for the game and we
were at the Rich Carlton there in Scottsdale, but it
was in Scottsdale.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I think it was in Scottsdale. Anyway, it was Rich Carlton.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And so we're there and Buddy says, hey, you want
to come up to the owner's suite. There's some free
food you can hang out. So, as you know, Jerome
never wanted to pass up free food. I said yes.
So we go up and the hotel has a private floor.
You have to have a special key to get on
the private floor. And there is Donald Sterling walking around
(18:16):
in his silk pajamas his entire floor of the hotel.
And they had one side was like this buffet of
seafood and shrimp.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Crab all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But then on the other side was Elgin Baylor, who
was the GM of the team at the time, and
exactly so my buddy knew Elgin. So we went over
there and started talking to Elgin and we're shooting the
crap and my friend, who Eddie knows and hates. No, no,
I'm kidding, but my friend starts ripping Donald Sterling to
(18:50):
Elgin Baylor.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
So if you can imagine the room, I'm standing next
to my friend Elgin sitting on a sofa, and then uh,
Sterling is walking in the hallway. The room is kind
of open, and so Sterling kind of started walking over
towards the room. Uh Jerome and Elgin Baylor's wife starts like, no,
(19:13):
like trying to get my friend to shut up about
ripping Sterling. It was and he ended up suing Sterling
actually once he got let go by the clippers. But
it was just amusing.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Hey, I got to ask you questions, what who's the
genius who thought paint Tom Brady three hundred million dollars
to talk about football? Because I'm talking about football look,
I'm not a football fan, since I'm a sports fan
that since I was very young. My mom told me
you got it from her father.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So Joe, Les get to the point, you're you're very
long wady.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
So you do you want me to sit here and
rip Fox for paying Tom Brady hundreds of millions of dollars.
The reason they did it is because they think they're
going to make money on it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But here's the and I agree with you, but I
never watched the others say never.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's I just lied. I just told the lie. I
tune in for Charles Barkley on basketball, and he doesn't
do the games.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
He just is a studio show. And he used to
tune in for John Madden because I'm old.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's it. That's the list. I don't tune in for
anyone else. That's all two people. My amslutely not. I'm
not fascinated here what Tom Brady has to say, but
I wish him well. I just thought, I don't really
care what he has to say. I find him boring.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
What what are we gonna do it ourselves? Not that
Charles Barker's going to retire.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
He's not retiring. Jerome he's not retiring. He's not retiring.
He's not retiring, Jerome, No, stop, your life is fine.
Shut up. Listen.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Barkley's gonna be. Barkley's gonna keep He's gonna keep doing TV.
And I'll tell you why, Jerome. He loves to gamble.
And if you if you're gamble, you lose money and
you need money. And they pay him a lot of
money to do television. He's not going anywhere, and maybe
he won't be a TNT, but he'll do some television
or program because it pays a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
All Right, are you done? I gotta go.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Hey, I gotta tell you this too. I'm not listening
to some bozel who was twenty five million dollars gambled. Okay,
I'm sorry. I'm listening to the smart people.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Noah, Well, listen, there are one thing I've learned about
smart people. They might be smart in one area, but
they're stupid in other areas. And I heard an interview
years ago with the magician who was talking, and I
grew up loving magic, and so that was my I
went to the magic Shop at Disneyland when I was
a kid, and I fell in love with magic.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But I heard an interview with a magician years ago,
and he said, they perform magic in front of like
the most powerful world leaders, world leaders, people who are
very powerful in business, and almost all of them are
completely fooled by basic magic. But yet they are experts
(21:50):
in other parts of their life.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
It's an interesting thing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Red Sox get a couple of Tyler O'Neill homers and
a seven three went over the Blue Jays Boston two
and a half back in Minnesota for the last wild cards.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Socks are coming, Eddie, the socks are coming.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
They're hanging around there. Of course they've got that extra wild.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
So when I was signing to Jason in the hallway
here Jason Smith, the Met's apologists, there were so many
fox contenders in baseball because they added the extra wild cards.
Well they're not tenders, but they're not good teams though.
Well you see, well I know, but that's the thing
that sucks, Eddie about baseball is you can get one
of these crap teams, right, I almost said a bad word.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You get one of these teams.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And they can get for a month, they can play
well and get to the World Series, and it sucks.
I hated Eddie one of those crappy teams. No, the
Dodger is never one of those teams. They already went
out behind games every year.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
They're gotting too much money. It's their fault.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, I want my bosses to spend too much money
on me. I don't know about you, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Yeah, I would like that as well.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Okay, stop your complaining.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
That happened once. Actually, I did have a job where
I was overpaid for about a year.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Was wonderful. Really, what I was I was doing.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Voiceover work at Fox for Highlights. Uh huh god, that
was awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You know, the most money I ever made in radio
is my first gig in radio because we were at
Kiss AM in Los Angeles and we were paid because
of the way the contract was written, we were paid
the same as the disc jockeys on Kiss FM, which
was the number one radio station in Los Angeles. So
I made more money my first year in radio than
I ever did any any year since.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wow. How about that fun fact?
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You know you know what my best baying job was
not in radio.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That was doing voice too well.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I mean, well, the TV definitely pays better than radio,
that's not even close. But the end, I've had a
few of those jobs. I've been lucky to have those
over the years. But no, we're not done to hit
the music. No, we're not done. That was not the
fun fact. But that was a bonus fun fact. Lorraine's like,
shut up, you idiots, all right.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
The Braves beat the Tigers two to one. Ozzie Alby's
eighth inning solo homer was the difference for Atlanta. The
Giants down the Cubs seven to six. The Aero Estrada
three run homer in the nine for San Francisco Cardinals
over the Marlins seven to six. In twelve, Mason win
a two run homer in the twelve inning for St.
Louis and the Pirates beat the Reds four to one.
Pittsburgh rookie starter Paul Skian's four and oh now six innings,
(24:05):
one run, six eight, seven strikeouts, one walk. In the
victory College World Series, you had Florida over Ency State
five to four. Gators still alive, wolf Pack eliminated Texas
A and m B Kentucky five to one, Wildcats will
face Florida now in an elimited gate elimination game on Tuesday.
WNBA links over the wild ninety to eighty seven. Minnesota
is eleven and three obvious season. I mentioned this you
(24:26):
you kind of brought it up, But the wildcard race
in the National League is leninary.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Dickens only two.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Only two teams in the entire National League are really
out of the wildcard race. That's Colorado and Miami. Everyone
else in the National League is still right there.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
For the calculus in the National League, now, keep in
mind of these teams that are in the wildcard race,
the team that is currently there are two teams tied
for the final wildcard squad, the Giants and the Nationals.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Both of them are under five hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yes, so you can't even get the three wildcard teams
with a winning record.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
You've got the Padres, Diamondbacks and Pirates are a half
game out.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Watch out for the Pirates they get in the playoffs,
and the Mets Paul Skins in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Eddie playoffs are a game out. The Reds are a
game and a half, and sure the Cubs are two out.
That's everyone everyone else is They're all still alive in
the NLA.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
But even in the American I look at the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't think that's a good team. But they're two
and a half games out. The Blue Jays are under
five hundred.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
They're still five out. It's a couple of good days, Eddie.
And you're right back here.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
They're a minus thirty five in run differential.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Are you a big run differential guy.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Because he's when it's like that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, the cheating a holes are plus four in run
differential and yet they are six games under five hundred,
seven games out of the wild card.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
How great is that to see?
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Man?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Is that hot?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
That's you know what that is, Eddie, Standing's porn. But
to see the a holes and you have to go.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Page down, page down, page down.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
It is the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now for the bonus bonus bonus bonus, bonus fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here was Mallard fun fact?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, any big news there in Boston? Other championship one thousand,
nine hundred sixty two days, the second longest title drought
since the Celtics, Bruins, Patriots and Red Sox have all existed.
That's it, less than two thousand days is the longest drought.
That's the second longest drought. I gotta go back. February third,
(26:30):
twenty nineteen was the date of the Patriots winning the
Super Bowl, the last Dallas championship before tonight. So the
longest drought was the New England Patriots back in twenty
oh one, which was five thousand, seven hundred and nineteen
(26:51):
days between Boston championships. So they've really had a lot
of hardship there as Boston fans. Not a lot to
cheer for, not a lot to celebrate. Well, here's a
blast in the past, Eddie. This woman used to call
us all the time, and then she vanished. I think
she went to the dreaded day shift and her favorite
basketball team. She has two favorite basketball teams, one in
(27:12):
the Pacific North Walk Kathy. Oh you know I'm talking
about Kathy in Portland.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Hello Kathy.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Well, hello Ben, what a wonderful outcome.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Where have you been, Kathy? You left me? How dare you?
Speaker 8 (27:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (27:26):
I don't know. It's not much fun to follow basketball.
There's nobody to follow it with. None of my family
watch it, and.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know it's just oh, you know, you don't watch
it either, And so neither. Why so we all not
watch it together.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, but it's sure.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Wasn't it wonderful to see Kyrie?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh it was so good. I loved it. Was it
was our gas mc Kathy to watch Kyrie. And you
know he's trying, he's all worried of reputation. I was
trying to get some advertisers back and sell some shoes
and all that. So he's shaking everyone's hand. It's all
in act. The real Kyrie is the guy that stepped
on Lucky the Leprechaun at half of that's the real
Kyrie that's sending out crazy videos on the Internet.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's the real Kyrie.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
That's correct. And it's so nice that now we have
one more ring than the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well you have many more.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
The Lakers count those bogus COVID one Kathy, that doesn't count,
and the ones in Minnesota. I think there's five in Minnesota,
so those don't count either.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
So they're way by.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
I feel that way a.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Bit that.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Because you're real Kathy and you get it, Kathy, unlike
these other idiots they don't get it.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
That's right, absolutely, And uh yeah, Portland doesn't much to behold. Uh,
So I don't know. I think I'll stick with all.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's a good I think they could maybe compete in
the w n B A. But I don't even know
about that. I don't even know about that.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Hold your breath. I thought if the Celts couldn't win,
I was kind of pulling through Milwaukee. I would have
liked to have seen Damian Lillard get a ring. But
that's looking pretty well.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, he did lose he was was he married, He
lost that ring. He's got the divorce so he doesn't
have that one, so he is ringless. He is absolutely
r the worst and.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Went to a new city and and the whole he
kind of had a huge shages come his way. Yeah,
but nonetheless, it's good to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, Keathery, we made we missed you.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I guess we have to wait for the Celtics to
win a championship to smoke you out of the room.
Followed as much as I used to, Kathy, I still
got to follow it.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
How dare you?
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:26):
Well, hey, they pay you to do it, that is true.
Have a team like Portland. And I enjoyed your fun
fact about Al Horford. That was amazing. Playoff games. Is
a playoff game?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That is it?
Speaker 9 (29:38):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Take that, Eddie. She liked the fun fact, all right.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
And I kind of suspect it would be hardened.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, listen, I gotta go. Be well, don't be a stranger.
If you ever get the jones to talk about basketball,
we're here for you.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Okay, all right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
All be well, all right, there's our friend Kathy. Your
family's a not into basketball. So she stopped watching. Let's
go now to Poppy in San Diego. Hello, Poppy, pick.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Popector Gadget, go, Mallard go. You know there's I know
we all know that you're a liar, Ben Mallard. The
third one is we all know you watch Inspector Gadget
as a kid. Hey, hey, Ben Mallard, you know, as
(30:30):
I was saying I was Brian Finnan's wedding, I know
you went there and told everyone knowing what was it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I was paid, Me and Rob were paid appearance fees.
It was part of the wedding package. I would never
show up to that. I hate weddings. I would never go.
I only went to Eddies because he provided chicken fingers.
That's why I went to his wedding. I didn't go
to Coop's wedding because I wasn't invited. So and the
Lorrain is not married. I don't believe, so I don't
have to worry about that. So yes, I try to
avoid the weddings.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Oh no, hey Mallard, did you eat all the food?
And Brian Finland did you all the almond peanut butter?
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Did you all the what do you?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Why are you concerned? Why do you call him up?
Why are you concerned about what happened? Here's what happened.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I showed up, I smiled, I took some photos, I
shook hands, kissed some babies, and then I took a
giant cartoon check and I put it in my car
and I left.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I drive by.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I got a little traffic. There's, you know what, the
del Mar Fairgrounds. They're having the big event there, Yes,
and San Diego fair They're a big event going on.
So I got stuck in a little bit of that traffic,
and then I got out of there. I tailed out
of there.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
ND. You know, I really like that picture with you
and Rob Parker.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I was trying to do it with Teller.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
You were Rob Parker, but maybe you could tell me
that it was taller you were Rob Parker.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
So creepy, you know, a little creepy.
Speaker 8 (31:45):
Do you want to know who's talk But anyway, anyways,
I think they want to know. But anyways, Hey, you
know what, I love the great man a log that
you said. But you know you forgot one thing. Everyone
knows that the Celtics won. Nobody cares. I don't care
about that. I'm a sports bidding guy. There's only one
for that should get the NBA Finals and deserve to
get the MVP for the referees. And that's Oh I
(32:07):
knew you would, you know?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Hollering James calls up, hollering James mentions Tammy and Montana
every call you, Scott Foster, Scott faster Now, Poppy, did
you ever find the people I think this might have
been you that claimed on the internet that you were dead?
Did you ever find the people that were faking your death?
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Poppy?
Speaker 8 (32:27):
Well, you know what, uh anyway, has never heard of it.
I really don't care about those people, but people will.
People want to hear Poppy versus the cat Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Oh yeah, I haven't heard from the cat guy. Cat guy,
If you're listening, Kitty, cat, kitty cat.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
We need a cat. I want to do this for
football season.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I still don't know whether Benny Versus the Penny is
going to be back, but well, either way, we'll have
this on the radio at least, and maybe this will
be the new TV show. If they don't pick up
Benny Versus the Penny, we can then just do this.
We can just do a cat.
Speaker 8 (32:56):
Yeah you know, well, I mean, I just like I
told you, have good news for you. Like before, I.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Don't judge may do not chege me again. So is
there a spot in the bill. He's my favorite story
of the day. And Eddie didn't see this because he
wasn't watching the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But this is so good.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
So during the broadcast, Doris Burke gets on the microphone.
There she's doing the game for ABC, and she is
singing the praises of True Holliday's community service. And then
whoever's in the truck at ABC pans to a woman
in the crowd and identifies that woman as True Holliday's wife.
(33:39):
There's one problem, that was not True Holliday's wife. Who
goofed I've got to know? But wait, there's more. So
later on in that same broadcast. The X account for
the NBA and the ABC broadcast identified different men as
(34:01):
Jason Tatum's father. So who is the fun? You are
the fun?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Maybe he's got two dands, I don't know, but it's uh,
I'm I'm going out on a limb that one of
the two men that were identified as Jason Tatum's father
was not his father. I'm pretty sure that's that's science.
Pretty sure that's that's a good So who goofed? I've
got to know? Did they have Blind Scott as the spotter?
(34:29):
Is that possible that Blind Scott was the spotder? It
could be or Stevie Meetboles could be Stevie Meepole. Very awkward,
very awkward. And then Mike Breen had to later apologize
for the wife thing. They have all apologized there as
Jason Tatum was hitting some foul shots later in the game.
Time now for the instant trivia of Mallard of the
third degree. Jason Tatum joined Blank as the only players
(34:52):
in NBA history to have thirty one points, eight rebounds,
and eleven assists in a championship clinching game. That is
the instant tribute. The answer next.

sixty nine? Y.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
It's Mallard? How about that?
Speaker 4 (37:32):
To the third degree?
Speaker 1 (37:34):
This is one big Ben gets great obling.
Speaker 9 (37:39):
There have been recent reports that the Cavaliers may look
to trade center Jared Allen this offseason. Whoever, there is
now a new report that says if Donovan Mitchell is
gonna stick around, he wants Allan as a teammate. Ben,
does Mitchell have that kind of cachet?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Well, I heard for months that he was gonna be
leaving Cleveland. I still believe ultimately that he'll be leaving.
But are you really gonna die over Jared Allen? I'd
rather have the you don't even know who this is.
There's an NFL player named Jared Allen that played for
the Vikings back in the day.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
He was a good player. But Jared Allen, he's fine.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
But I don't think I don't think that's going to
be the reason that you stay or go.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Next This is Jared Allen. That was Jared Allen. One Allen,
They're all the same.
Speaker 9 (38:21):
Before Game four of the finals, Joel em beads that
he does not think that this will be the start
of a Celtics dynasty and points out a lot of
the East was hurt. Ben, do you agree with him?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, it's I think that's an accurate say. The Celtics
are always going to be hanging around. But is this
the start of an amazing No, it is not. I
don't believe that.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
Next, TMZ caught up with Aeron Dickerson and asked him
about the possibility of Travis Kelcey going into broadcasting. Dickerson
said that Kelsey is a great fit for television.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Bennezee, right, Yes, because he's famous, not that he's good.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I don't think he's good, but he's famous. They're all
about fame. How do we do koop?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That is a When I won, I won because of
my Allen.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I have a deep knowledge of Alan Hi.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
Ben
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It's our nume bird two, our two ready to go,
and we enter the domain of tick talk in the
NFL stoy NFL story from the TikTok World. How does
this Brandon auc TikTok video change things in his negotiation
(00:22):
with the forty nine ers if you didn't see it
or hear about it, Brandon Auk essentially saying on video
he did say they don't want me, implying it was
the forty nine ers. Also, where are the most logical
landing spots for Brandon Ayuk in the dimension that he
is traded in? Let's assume the multiverse that he ends
up being traded and Chargers defensive star Joey Bosa says
(00:45):
that winning is more important than making extra money.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Is that reality based? We'll go there as well.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
All of it's coming your way right now here. It
is our number two. The plot thickens by the bay.
Well come, in the beginning of another hour of The
Ben Mathers Show.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
We are in the air everywhere, righting the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Waves as we shoot hoops coast to coast, port of
the border and beyond on the vast and swaggeringly powerful
microphones of FS are emmnating live from the machine, the
lean mean wrecking Machine. We're broadcasting live from the tyraq
(01:34):

protection at over ten thousand recommended installers. Ryan in San
Diego remembers when there were that many professional sports teams
in San Diego. Tireraq dot com the way tire buying
(01:57):
should be in our lead this hour, coming from Football Now.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was gonna do a couple.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Hours on the NBA Finals, and I made an editorial
decision that we're being covered up by some jackwagon in Boston.
So I decided, well, we don't have to spend two
hours talking about the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
But if you want to talk about it more, we can.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I'm not gonna do another Milor monologue about the Celtics
because that doesn't pay the bills.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
And based on the ratings, not many people were watching
the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But our headline this hour, our lead, this hour coming
from grumbling in pro sports that feeds a lot of
content in these parts. And dateline our dateline social media,
dateline social media that is where we have a humdinger
humdinger of a story. It is our obligatory Malard monologue
(02:45):
about the life and times of disgruntled wide receiver Brandon
IOOC of the raining NFC champion and Super Bowl runner.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Up forty nine Ers. So if you haven't heard the
latest on this, and maybe you missed it.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Brandon I appeared on a dramatic TikTok video with Jaden Dingels,
that's a quarterback for the Washington football team. He told
the quarterback his buddy there, he said, they said they
don't want me back. I swear. He said they they
(03:20):
said they don't want me back.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I swear.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
The implication obviously that that is the forty nine ers
that do not want Brandon Aok back. So this thing
went viral among football hard ohs. Everyone has a different
opinion on it. Many people are naive to this particular story.
That's why we are here providing gas baggery. So let
us discuss the question, how does this Brandon Aok TikTok
(03:43):
video where he says they said they.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Don't want me back, I swear, How does this change
things with the forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
So I've got cartoonish chuck e cheese and lobster and
we will combine all all of these things together and
we will wag the dog, will wag the dog.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
So Number one.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Brand and I are cooking a casse role of fun
fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun, kind
of like our fun facts, like a celebrity chef. Brandon, iok,
a the Niners. He's going like bam, like that, and
then let's kick it up a notch. He wasn't happy
with what he was hearing from the forty nine ers,
and so amid those reports that they were at impass
(04:35):
on a contract agreement, he randomly drops the video from TikTok.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I'm sure that.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Is just a quinkie dink. It's just an odd set
of circumstances. These things are not related. Now, I will
tell you based on a second long review of the
available video from TikTok. I'm not on TikTok because I'm
too old for that, but I did check out the
video which people sent me. I did notice body language,
the body language of Brandon.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Iok.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
He had the body language of someone that was happy,
having fun, smiling. He could not even keep his poker face.
Bad job by him, no poker face. The whole thing
struck me as cartoonish.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It was Deputy Dog is what it was.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
The smart money says that this was just an amateurish
negotiating tactic by Brandon Ayuk of the forty nine Ers,
that he is simply doing what Klay Thompson is trying
to do in the Bay Area, where he's trying to
get the Warrior fans to put pressure on the team
to give.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Him more money.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well, same concept, different team, different situation, but similar result
the effort. Based on the body language, He's a bad actor,
Brandon Auch did. He's deputizing like Deputy Dog. He's deputizing
the forty nine or fan base there the boot liquors
to do the dirty work for him. Fight the battle,
(06:03):
his battle on the battle front, which is social media, radio,
shows like this, television and all is fair in love,
war and contract negotiations. It is a messy process or
process depending on which word you choose to use. But
the endgame is delicious, absolutely delicious. And it's not personal. No, no, no,
(06:26):
it's not personal. It's just business. It's not personal. Not
page two. So let's pivot away. Here we go now
to the really amazing, amazing set of circumstances around Brandon
and I now clearly he wants to get paid if
the Niners aren't going to pay him. Let's just for
(06:46):
a second, we'll say we live in the multiverse, and
that we're now in the dimension. We have now transported
to the dimension where the forty nine ers are so
fed up with this cartoonish move by Brandon Iuk that
they say, you know what, We're gonna trade his ass. Okay,
So let's play the game where on God's Green Earth
(07:08):
is the most logical landing spot for Brandon Ayuk in
trade talks. So, I hope you're good at ski ball.
I hope you're good at ski ball here, because you
gotta in order to get the player, you gotta win
a lot of those tickets and get head with that
chuck e cheese prize counter and good luck. Now looking
in to the crystal ball, I've got steel City Beer,
(07:33):
wings and cream pie, and we will look combine all
of these things together and we'll tell you exactly where
he's gonna end up.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
So the first one is rather obvious.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
The pets Burg Steelers, the Insers make a lot of sense.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
You've got the Steel City Beer right there, they have
flirted publicly.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
If I am not mistaken doing this show over the
last couple of months, I recall Brandon Ayuk who was
tickling the toes of Mike Tomlin on the Socials Pittsburgh.
They've got a bit of a blank spot on the
bingo card at wide receiver outside of George Pickens. Outside
of George Pickens, you have Van Jefferson, who's not very good.
(08:12):
He's a jag, not an actual Jacksonville jack. He's just
a jag, just a guy and nothing else. Now, the
wings would be a wing and a prayer, which would
be flying with the Jets. J Ts suck, Suck, suck
as the Jets are all in as they try to
salvage what's left of Aaron Rodgers while he comes off
(08:34):
his ayahuasca high. And then you've got the other option,
which is some delicious Boston cream pie, just wonderful. With
the Patriots back being the patsis of the NFL, and
they have their new quarterback of the future as opposed
to the last quarterback of the future, Mac Jones, and.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So you say, well, there's a shot.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
They want to improve their chances, they want to get
a real receiver and so here's an opportunity. They have
money to burn. All right, final point, We now pivot
to Los Angeles. We're Chargers. Chargers defensive star Joey Bosa
not to be confused with his better half who's his brother,
Not his half, but his brother who's a better player.
But Joey Bosa says that winning, winning is more important
(09:23):
to him than making extra money. He took a pay
cut this offseason from Hardball and the Chargers. So Charger
defensive star Joey Bosa saying that it's more important to
win than to make extra money. Is this reality based?
Is this based in any reality?
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
No, this is a trip to the laundry mat, the
old spin zone. In a perfect world, a perfect world,
what happens here? Let's do the whole perfect world thing. Well,
you turned to Lobster, right, I was using the lobster analogy,
Like Red Lobster, they're going out of business supposal every
down on the internet must be.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
True, but Red Lopster. You go into Red Lobster.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
And you get the only thing that should stick around
once that place goes out of business is that the
Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
So you get the Cheddar Bay biscuits.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
From Red Lobster, and I'm talking warm biscuits, like a
basket of warm biscuits. And then if you're Joey Bosa,
you butter both sides because that's what the goal is.
The goal is not to well, I can either win
or I need more money. No, the goal is to
get both. The goal should be to get both, buttering
(10:32):
both sides of the biscuit. And Bosa can't get that
done because he has a problem and it's the.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
D as in durability.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Not that you pervert, but Joey Bosa has a seventy
eight point nine percent chance based on the projections of
being hurt in twenty twenty four and because of that,
he is underachieved. When he's played, He's often made impactful
play for the Chargers. But that is why Jim Harbaugh said, Nope,
(11:05):
you got to give some money back. And Joey Bosa
could have rejected the pay reduction and said no, Keenan
Allen did that. Keenan Allen's now getting ready to spend
his time with the Chicago Bears, and he knows Joey Bosa.
The astro turf is not always greener on the other side.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
This is the Ben Malers Show if you'd like to
comment on any of that, or the champion crown in
the NBA, the Boston Celtics have won the championship as
they take home the honors and.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
The Mavericks never led just another what's the right word here?
The finals that was lacking the wow.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You knew it wasn't particularly gonna be good going in,
and it lived up to that billing. Just not a
lot of plot twists, not a lot of turns. Celtics
were clearly the better team as we anticipated they would be,
and the end up celebrating and get the duck boats.
Radio have another parade in Boston. Is there a spoder
(12:09):
in the building? Is there a spider in the building?

the Liar, liar and the menace of the Fox Sports
Radio Network. It's the Coop the Loop, Justin Cooper and
he's at uh Bronco Fan.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Justin Prefers Black Statland, a Bronco.
Speaker 6 (13:33):
Fan and alive from the tyrack dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studios. It's Ben Maller.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Fergie Dogger writs, and he says, I think it's important
Ben to point out that despite all the titles, Boston
teams have been winning recently. They still haven't won a
single WNBA championship, and Eddie Garcia is not impressed with
that is true. Eddie is our WNBA guy, He's our
insider all things WNBA.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
He's got that covered. Shane from des Moines says.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Not that they are logical people, but what is the
logic of Bronnie James limiting his job options when he
has limited skills to begin with.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
It's not like his lack of talent is a secret. Well,
you know what, Shane, He's got the right DNA all right.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Lebron is the he's like the godfather of the NBA,
and Lebron his agent, Rich Paul, is the most powerful
agent in the NBA, and so they can manipulate just
like politicians manipulate election. They think they've got this all
figured out. That would be awesome if the Lakers and
the Son said screw you, we're not gonna draft you now,
that would be great.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
But that ain't gonna happen. And I was talking to
somebody else. I don't talk to anyone. I text someone
the other.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Day, and they think they've got this grand conspiracy that
someone like the Mavericks or team in Atlanta. That's trying
to sell tickets, will draft Brownie James thinking they can
coerce Lebron to come to their team. That was a
popular theory a while back, and a friend of mine.
(15:13):
It wouldn't be shocked if if that happened. But we will,
We'll find out, Shane. Let's skip over that one. Who
else you have?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Page down?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Bill writes in he says, if Genie doesn't call pat Riley,
she's got one other option. Sam Cassell, Sam is legit.
You wanna beat a Celtic, hire a Celtic. Hey, you're
not gonna You're not gonna have me saything about about
Sam Cassell unless he coaches the Lakers, right.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I love Cassel.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
One of my favorite clips from back in the day,
Sam Cassell, half man, half Aliens phone home with the
Minnesota Timberls. I was there when the conference finals back
years ago, and just got there again now, mass o'
mickey says Championship edition of the second hour mal Of monologue.
But we all know Craft is too cheap trade for Brandon.
I yeah, well, he's got spends his money on the
(16:04):
day spot. So is there a spider in the building?
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Trust me?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
It's one of my favorite stories of the day. I
will give it to you in a couple of minutes.
Let's go to the phone's low and we'll say hello
to Jerome in Charleston. Bring it home, Jerome, Hello, Jerome, hey.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Man speaking to Clippers. What happened to Donald Sterling's little girlfriend? You?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I'm not her, I'm not her mother.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I don't know what. What do you want me to say?
I don't know what do you want? V V Steviano
is that her name?
Speaker 3 (16:38):
They got a new movie on. Have you watched it yet? No?
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I don't want to watch that. No, the Clippers, man,
I don't want to watch it. I know too.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
I know where the bodies are buried. How about that?
How about that? Jerome, I know where the bodies are buried.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Hey, I just want to know something. Then and there. Hell,
Donald Sterling was able to own the clip for thirty years.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
NOI be come gero jero, Come on, Jerome, listen. Once
you get into the fraternity, you're in the fraternity.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
It's very hard.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Up until recent years, it's hard to get kicked out
of the fraternity, and Sterling was the first one to
get kicked out. But no, I saw things in that time.
I mean, I had a buddy of mine that did
the Clipper postgame show and one of my favorite stories
I've told this on the podcast. But the Clippers were
playing the Suns. This is when they had Elton Brand
and they were in games set.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
The Dookies well.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Great, I mean he was he was a good player.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
But anyway, so the Clippers are the Clippers are playing
the Suns in a game seven to go to the
conference finals.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Right, this is years ago, and I happy.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I I was in Phoenix for the game and we
were at the Rich Carlton there in Scottsdale, but it
was in Scottsdale.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I think it was in Scottsdale. Anyway, it was Rich Carlton.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
And so we're there and Buddy says, hey, you want
to come up to the owner's suite. There's some free
food you can hang out. So, as you know, Jerome
never wanted to pass up free food. I said yes.
So we go up and the hotel has a private floor.
You have to have a special key to get on
the private floor. And there is Donald Sterling walking around
(18:16):
in his silk pajamas his entire floor of the hotel.
And they had one side was like this buffet of
seafood and shrimp.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Crab all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
But then on the other side was Elgin Baylor, who
was the GM of the team at the time, and
exactly so my buddy knew Elgin. So we went over
there and started talking to Elgin and we're shooting the
crap and my friend, who Eddie knows and hates. No, no,
I'm kidding, but my friend starts ripping Donald Sterling to
(18:50):
Elgin Baylor.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
So if you can imagine the room, I'm standing next
to my friend Elgin sitting on a sofa, and then uh,
Sterling is walking in the hallway. The room is kind
of open, and so Sterling kind of started walking over
towards the room. Uh Jerome and Elgin Baylor's wife starts like, no,
(19:13):
like trying to get my friend to shut up about
ripping Sterling. It was and he ended up suing Sterling
actually once he got let go by the clippers. But
it was just amusing.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Hey, I got to ask you questions, what who's the
genius who thought paint Tom Brady three hundred million dollars
to talk about football? Because I'm talking about football look,
I'm not a football fan, since I'm a sports fan
that since I was very young. My mom told me
you got it from her father.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
So Joe, Les get to the point, you're you're very
long wady.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
So you do you want me to sit here and
rip Fox for paying Tom Brady hundreds of millions of dollars.
The reason they did it is because they think they're
going to make money on it.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
But here's the and I agree with you, but I
never watched the others say never.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
That's I just lied. I just told the lie. I
tune in for Charles Barkley on basketball, and he doesn't
do the games.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
He just is a studio show. And he used to
tune in for John Madden because I'm old.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
That's it. That's the list. I don't tune in for
anyone else. That's all two people. My amslutely not. I'm
not fascinated here what Tom Brady has to say, but
I wish him well. I just thought, I don't really
care what he has to say. I find him boring.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
What what are we gonna do it ourselves? Not that
Charles Barker's going to retire.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
He's not retiring. Jerome he's not retiring. He's not retiring.
He's not retiring, Jerome, No, stop, your life is fine.
Shut up. Listen.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Barkley's gonna be. Barkley's gonna keep He's gonna keep doing TV.
And I'll tell you why, Jerome. He loves to gamble.
And if you if you're gamble, you lose money and
you need money. And they pay him a lot of
money to do television. He's not going anywhere, and maybe
he won't be a TNT, but he'll do some television
or program because it pays a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
All Right, are you done? I gotta go.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Hey, I gotta tell you this too. I'm not listening
to some bozel who was twenty five million dollars gambled. Okay,
I'm sorry. I'm listening to the smart people.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Noah, Well, listen, there are one thing I've learned about
smart people. They might be smart in one area, but
they're stupid in other areas. And I heard an interview
years ago with the magician who was talking, and I
grew up loving magic, and so that was my I
went to the magic Shop at Disneyland when I was
a kid, and I fell in love with magic.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
And all that.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But I heard an interview with a magician years ago,
and he said, they perform magic in front of like
the most powerful world leaders, world leaders, people who are
very powerful in business, and almost all of them are
completely fooled by basic magic. But yet they are experts
(21:50):
in other parts of their life.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
It's an interesting thing.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Red Sox get a couple of Tyler O'Neill homers and
a seven three went over the Blue Jays Boston two
and a half back in Minnesota for the last wild cards.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Socks are coming, Eddie, the socks are coming.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
They're hanging around there. Of course they've got that extra wild.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
So when I was signing to Jason in the hallway
here Jason Smith, the Met's apologists, there were so many
fox contenders in baseball because they added the extra wild cards.
Well they're not tenders, but they're not good teams though.
Well you see, well I know, but that's the thing
that sucks, Eddie about baseball is you can get one
of these crap teams, right, I almost said a bad word.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You get one of these teams.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
And they can get for a month, they can play
well and get to the World Series, and it sucks.
I hated Eddie one of those crappy teams. No, the
Dodger is never one of those teams. They already went
out behind games every year.
Speaker 6 (22:43):
They're gotting too much money. It's their fault.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Well, I want my bosses to spend too much money
on me. I don't know about you, Eddie.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
Yeah, I would like that as well.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Okay, stop your complaining.
Speaker 6 (22:52):
That happened once. Actually, I did have a job where
I was overpaid for about a year.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Was wonderful. Really, what I was I was doing.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
Voiceover work at Fox for Highlights. Uh huh god, that
was awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
You know, the most money I ever made in radio
is my first gig in radio because we were at
Kiss AM in Los Angeles and we were paid because
of the way the contract was written, we were paid
the same as the disc jockeys on Kiss FM, which
was the number one radio station in Los Angeles. So
I made more money my first year in radio than
I ever did any any year since.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Wow. How about that fun fact?
Speaker 6 (23:26):
You know you know what my best baying job was
not in radio.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
That was doing voice too well.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I mean, well, the TV definitely pays better than radio,
that's not even close. But the end, I've had a
few of those jobs. I've been lucky to have those
over the years. But no, we're not done to hit
the music. No, we're not done. That was not the
fun fact. But that was a bonus fun fact. Lorraine's like,
shut up, you idiots, all right.
Speaker 6 (23:45):
The Braves beat the Tigers two to one. Ozzie Alby's
eighth inning solo homer was the difference for Atlanta. The
Giants down the Cubs seven to six. The Aero Estrada
three run homer in the nine for San Francisco Cardinals
over the Marlins seven to six. In twelve, Mason win
a two run homer in the twelve inning for St.
Louis and the Pirates beat the Reds four to one.
Pittsburgh rookie starter Paul Skian's four and oh now six innings,
(24:05):
one run, six eight, seven strikeouts, one walk. In the
victory College World Series, you had Florida over Ency State
five to four. Gators still alive, wolf Pack eliminated Texas
A and m B Kentucky five to one, Wildcats will
face Florida now in an elimited gate elimination game on Tuesday.
WNBA links over the wild ninety to eighty seven. Minnesota
is eleven and three obvious season. I mentioned this you
(24:26):
you kind of brought it up, But the wildcard race
in the National League is leninary.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Dickens only two.
Speaker 6 (24:34):
Only two teams in the entire National League are really
out of the wildcard race. That's Colorado and Miami. Everyone
else in the National League is still right there.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
For the calculus in the National League, now, keep in
mind of these teams that are in the wildcard race,
the team that is currently there are two teams tied
for the final wildcard squad, the Giants and the Nationals.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Both of them are under five hundred.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yes, so you can't even get the three wildcard teams
with a winning record.
Speaker 6 (25:02):
You've got the Padres, Diamondbacks and Pirates are a half
game out.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Watch out for the Pirates they get in the playoffs,
and the Mets Paul Skins in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
Eddie playoffs are a game out. The Reds are a
game and a half, and sure the Cubs are two out.
That's everyone everyone else is They're all still alive in
the NLA.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
But even in the American I look at the Red Sox.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
I don't think that's a good team. But they're two
and a half games out. The Blue Jays are under
five hundred.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
They're still five out. It's a couple of good days, Eddie.
And you're right back here.
Speaker 6 (25:31):
They're a minus thirty five in run differential.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Are you a big run differential guy.
Speaker 6 (25:36):
Because he's when it's like that.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Yeah, the cheating a holes are plus four in run
differential and yet they are six games under five hundred,
seven games out of the wild card.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
How great is that to see?
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Man?
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Is that hot?
Speaker 2 (25:48):
That's you know what that is, Eddie, Standing's porn. But
to see the a holes and you have to go.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Page down, page down, page down.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
It is the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Now for the bonus bonus bonus bonus, bonus fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here was Mallard fun fact?
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Well, any big news there in Boston? Other championship one thousand,
nine hundred sixty two days, the second longest title drought
since the Celtics, Bruins, Patriots and Red Sox have all existed.
That's it, less than two thousand days is the longest drought.
That's the second longest drought. I gotta go back. February third,
(26:30):
twenty nineteen was the date of the Patriots winning the
Super Bowl, the last Dallas championship before tonight. So the
longest drought was the New England Patriots back in twenty
oh one, which was five thousand, seven hundred and nineteen
(26:51):
days between Boston championships. So they've really had a lot
of hardship there as Boston fans. Not a lot to
cheer for, not a lot to celebrate. Well, here's a
blast in the past, Eddie. This woman used to call
us all the time, and then she vanished. I think
she went to the dreaded day shift and her favorite
basketball team. She has two favorite basketball teams, one in
(27:12):
the Pacific North Walk Kathy. Oh you know I'm talking
about Kathy in Portland.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Hello Kathy.
Speaker 7 (27:19):
Well, hello Ben, what a wonderful outcome.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Where have you been, Kathy? You left me? How dare you?
Speaker 8 (27:26):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (27:26):
I don't know. It's not much fun to follow basketball.
There's nobody to follow it with. None of my family
watch it, and.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know it's just oh, you know, you don't watch
it either, And so neither. Why so we all not
watch it together.
Speaker 7 (27:38):
That's true. That's true.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Yeah, but it's sure.
Speaker 7 (27:41):
Wasn't it wonderful to see Kyrie?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Oh it was so good. I loved it. Was it
was our gas mc Kathy to watch Kyrie. And you
know he's trying, he's all worried of reputation. I was
trying to get some advertisers back and sell some shoes
and all that. So he's shaking everyone's hand. It's all
in act. The real Kyrie is the guy that stepped
on Lucky the Leprechaun at half of that's the real
Kyrie that's sending out crazy videos on the Internet.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That's the real Kyrie.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
That's correct. And it's so nice that now we have
one more ring than the Lakers.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Well you have many more.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
The Lakers count those bogus COVID one Kathy, that doesn't count,
and the ones in Minnesota. I think there's five in Minnesota,
so those don't count either.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
So they're way by.
Speaker 7 (28:24):
I feel that way a.
Speaker 9 (28:25):
Bit that.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Because you're real Kathy and you get it, Kathy, unlike
these other idiots they don't get it.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
That's right, absolutely, And uh yeah, Portland doesn't much to behold. Uh,
So I don't know. I think I'll stick with all.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
That's a good I think they could maybe compete in
the w n B A. But I don't even know
about that. I don't even know about that.
Speaker 7 (28:47):
Hold your breath. I thought if the Celts couldn't win,
I was kind of pulling through Milwaukee. I would have
liked to have seen Damian Lillard get a ring. But
that's looking pretty well.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, he did lose he was was he married, He
lost that ring. He's got the divorce so he doesn't
have that one, so he is ringless. He is absolutely
r the worst and.
Speaker 7 (29:06):
Went to a new city and and the whole he
kind of had a huge shages come his way. Yeah,
but nonetheless, it's good to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, Keathery, we made we missed you.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
I guess we have to wait for the Celtics to
win a championship to smoke you out of the room.
Followed as much as I used to, Kathy, I still
got to follow it.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
How dare you?
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (29:26):
Well, hey, they pay you to do it, that is true.
Have a team like Portland. And I enjoyed your fun
fact about Al Horford. That was amazing. Playoff games. Is
a playoff game?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That is it?
Speaker 9 (29:38):
Ye?
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Take that, Eddie. She liked the fun fact, all right.
Speaker 7 (29:42):
And I kind of suspect it would be hardened.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, listen, I gotta go. Be well, don't be a stranger.
If you ever get the jones to talk about basketball,
we're here for you.
Speaker 8 (29:51):
Okay, all right, I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
All be well, all right, there's our friend Kathy. Your
family's a not into basketball. So she stopped watching. Let's
go now to Poppy in San Diego. Hello, Poppy, pick.
Speaker 8 (30:06):
Popector Gadget, go, Mallard go. You know there's I know
we all know that you're a liar, Ben Mallard. The
third one is we all know you watch Inspector Gadget
as a kid. Hey, hey, Ben Mallard, you know, as
(30:30):
I was saying I was Brian Finnan's wedding, I know
you went there and told everyone knowing what was it.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
I was paid, Me and Rob were paid appearance fees.
It was part of the wedding package. I would never
show up to that. I hate weddings. I would never go.
I only went to Eddies because he provided chicken fingers.
That's why I went to his wedding. I didn't go
to Coop's wedding because I wasn't invited. So and the
Lorrain is not married. I don't believe, so I don't
have to worry about that. So yes, I try to
avoid the weddings.

Speaker 8 (31:45):
Do you want to know who's talk But anyway, anyways,
I think they want to know. But anyways, Hey, you
know what, I love the great man a log that
you said. But you know you forgot one thing. Everyone
knows that the Celtics won. Nobody cares. I don't care
about that. I'm a sports bidding guy. There's only one
for that should get the NBA Finals and deserve to
get the MVP for the referees. And that's Oh I

of the day. And Eddie didn't see this because he
wasn't watching the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
But this is so good.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
So during the broadcast, Doris Burke gets on the microphone.
There she's doing the game for ABC, and she is
singing the praises of True Holliday's community service. And then
whoever's in the truck at ABC pans to a woman
in the crowd and identifies that woman as True Holliday's wife.
(33:39):
There's one problem, that was not True Holliday's wife. Who
goofed I've got to know? But wait, there's more. So
later on in that same broadcast. The X account for
the NBA and the ABC broadcast identified different men as
(34:01):
Jason Tatum's father. So who is the fun? You are
the fun?
Speaker 4 (34:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Maybe he's got two dands, I don't know, but it's uh,
I'm I'm going out on a limb that one of
the two men that were identified as Jason Tatum's father
was not his father. I'm pretty sure that's that's science.
Pretty sure that's that's a good So who goofed? I've
got to know? Did they have Blind Scott as the spotter?
(34:29):
Is that possible that Blind Scott was the spotder? It
could be or Stevie Meetboles could be Stevie Meepole. Very awkward,
very awkward. And then Mike Breen had to later apologize
for the wife thing. They have all apologized there as
Jason Tatum was hitting some foul shots later in the game.

There have been recent reports that the Cavaliers may look
to trade center Jared Allen this offseason. Whoever, there is
now a new report that says if Donovan Mitchell is
gonna stick around, he wants Allan as a teammate. Ben,
does Mitchell have that kind of cachet?
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Well, I heard for months that he was gonna be
leaving Cleveland. I still believe ultimately that he'll be leaving.
But are you really gonna die over Jared Allen? I'd
rather have the you don't even know who this is.
There's an NFL player named Jared Allen that played for
the Vikings back in the day.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
He was a good player. But Jared Allen, he's fine.

be the reason that you stay or go.

They're all the same.

of a Celtics dynasty and points out a lot of
the East was hurt. Ben, do you agree with him?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, it's I think that's an accurate say. The Celtics
are always going to be hanging around. But is this
the start of an amazing No, it is not. I
don't believe that.
Speaker 9 (38:40):

about the possibility of Travis Kelcey going into broadcasting. Dickerson
said that Kelsey is a great fit for television.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Bennezee, right, Yes, because he's famous, not that he's good.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
I don't think he's good, but he's famous. They're all
