Speaker 1 (00:00):
Bing Go. It's our Bertu and a moneyball hour here,
moneyball mallar as, it's all about pro bouncy ball. Here
is the thumbs up, thumbs down, thumbs up, thumbs down
to Lakers GM Rob Polinka supposedly convincing the mav Recks
to take less for Luka Doncik because he's a drunk

(00:23):
and he's obese. Also, did Nico Harrison have ulterior motives?
That's the Dallas executive to make this Luka Doncik trade
will go down tinfoil hat conspiracy highway. And how does
Danny Ainge, the big shot there in Utah look claiming
ignorance in the jazz helping to facilitate, helping to crease

(00:44):
the wheels for the Luka Doncik trade. We'll talk about
that as well. It's all coming your way right now here.
It is our number two looking for plausible deniability. Welcome
in the beginning of another hour the Benmather Show. We
are in the air everywhere you listen and relax as

I know that Screwge a big fan of that number

(01:52):
ten thousand, So a lead this hour, It's not waste
any time. Here we go to the fallout from the
blockbuster transaction heard round the pro bouncy ball world over
the weekend. Luca my name is Luca, or that guy
drinking whiskey called him something else, but Luka Doncik handed

(02:14):
to the Lakers in a mind bending giveaway by the
Mavres putting the wreck in mav Wreck. The Dallas pro
bouncy Ball Team and Anthony Davis Street closed Davis and
some spare parts and only one draft pick, one draft
pick going to Lakers. So, if you've not heard the
latest on this, it continues to percolate the story he

(02:38):
might maybe you missed it. So we are now told
that the Luca Street closed trade Lucadncik for street closed.
Davis originally included multiple first round draft picks and the Lakers'
latest draft pick, Dalton connect that they were all included
in the original transaction. The trade those said to have

(03:01):
gotten whittled down. There are reports indicating that the Lakers
executive Rob Skinny Jeans Polenka convinced the Mavericks to take less,
saying to the Mavericks says, listen, I'm taking the risk
here Luca. According to the report, Luca has laid out implied.

(03:24):
Luca's an alcoholic and has a weight problem. He's addicted
to food, and he's a drunk. That's what the report indicated.
So that's, you know, it's interesting to think about it.
Wait a minute, the Mavericks of the Mavericks trade this
guy because he can't control his liquor and all that. Now,

(03:44):
So essentially the argument is, and this is the argument
other people are making now, is that the Mavericks tried
to get out in front. Their argument is that Luca
is like Joel and Bead, He's not that interested in playing.
He doesn't take the game seriously. He likes what being
a basketball players about, but he's not a professional. He's

(04:06):
an amateur when it comes to showing up on time,
following the code of the West, doing what has to
be done. So that's the spin that the Mavericks are
putting out on it. So let us discuss the question
thumbs up or thumbs down to the Lakers GM, Rob
Skinny Jeans Polinka convincing the Mavericks to take less for

(04:31):
Luka Donci. That's the argument. It's being tossed out there
that the Lakers somehow used a Jedi mind trick to
convince the Mavericks to take less. So I'm gonna go
thumbs down on this one. I'm going thumbs down. I've
got Honkey Talk, James Bond, and Bruski and we will
combine all of these things together and we are going

(04:55):
to make a I Want to get Away weekend. Because
if you're the Dallas Mavericks, you want to get away.
They will be serenaded with booze for the rest of
the season. It is going we'll get ugly in Big D.
But I am going thumbs down. Answer the question whether
or not you believe that Rob Polinka. Rob Polinka convinced

(05:18):
the Mavericks to take less for Luca. I'm going thumbs
down this latest chapter in this and the NBA is
really good at drama. They're not really good at anything
else at this point, but the drama solid it's on point.
So this latest chapter is a Shakespearean like drama if
you will, around the legend building of Rob Polinka. Who

(05:41):
do you think leaked the story that Rob Polinka somehow
convinced the Dallas Mavericks to take less? You think that
was the Mavericks who leaked that? Or do you think
that was Rob Polinka's pr person that leaked that? Hm?
Things that make you go hm, who could it have been?
Who could have possibly have been? Mike God? Rob Polinka

(06:02):
pumping the tires on Rob Polinka to genius levels. Now
you really have to be a sucker to buy that.
We're not buying it. But if you are good for you,
you're a loser. My God. Polinka is the ultimate trust
fun baby in terms of an executive. He got in
good with Genie Buss and now he's a made man

(06:23):
with the Lakers. He had Luca dropped into his lap
at a silent auction. He wasn't even really an auction.
It was like just submit an offer, No offers are rejected.
Just submit an offer and you're the only bidder in
an auction, would mean there's other bidders, but you're the
only one that bid. It was a name your price situation. Now,

(06:50):
of course he wants you to believe that he's some
kind of basketball savant, that he pulled a fast one
on Nikohera, And it just makes me want to puke
in my mouth. The whole situation like this is somehow
And then you look at the reporting. He's like, well,
here's why Dallas traded him? And was that made up?

(07:13):
Or are the Mavericks letting people know. I was like, hey, listen,
this guy's a drunk and he's a fat ass and
that's why we trade it. Is that just being made
up by the media, or is that somebody for the
Mavericks planning that seed in the media. But the Lambeau
leap of faith of you, I'll call it the Lambeau
leap of faith because it does remind me. Been doing

(07:34):
this for a minute, you might remember the cautionary tale
of sports gone Past. Jerry Glanville, old NFL coach. His
most famous line, Jerry Glandville was the NFL stands for
not for long when you make calls like that. But
Glanville famously traded away Brett fharr If he was coaching
the Atlanta Falcons Hall of Famer Brett Fharv traded him

(07:56):
to Green Bay and then years later took a vic
relap durre a Glanville. He said, the reason that the
Falcons traded Brett Farv to Green Bay was because he
could not get far of sober. He was a drunk
in Atlanta. He had substance abuse issues, so they traded
him Landville. He pat himself on the back. I remember this.

(08:17):
About fifteen years ago, Glanville had an interview and he
patted himself on the back. He said, listen, we traded
him to a place where the only thing to do
at nine o'clock is to go to Chili Joe's and
you can either get it with onions or without onions,
and that's it, and those are your only options. And
so but this is the antithesis of that. This is

(08:40):
not This is not that. I mean, if this reporting
is true, and the Mavericks tried to sober up Luca
and he's got a drinking problem, but they sent Luca
to a city where the Honky Taunt never closes. They
have the bars, but then after that they have the
after parties in the Hollywood Hills that do not stop.

(09:04):
They do not stop. So there's some funny business going
on with this story. Now, page two, what is your
favorite conspiracy theory that has made the rounds with the
lucidotic trade? And I'll go first here and if you've
not been following along, there are many of them. I'll
give you the thumbnail recap of some of my favorites.

(09:27):
The Adelson group that owns the Mavericks is trying to
upset the fan base the customers so much that they
eventually relocate the team to Las Vegas so they can
they own a lot of property. They're big shots in
Vegas because of gambling, so they want the Mavericks to
be the NBA team that goes. In order to do that,

(09:49):
they have to destroy the franchise and put little pieces
of asbestos all over the franchise and then eventually they'll
be able to get rid of that and move it
to to Vegas. So that's out there. There's the Adam
Silver directed this to happen because the NBA is such
a crappy product. Nobody cares about Oklahoma City and Cleveland,

(10:12):
and it's killing the product that the teams that are
the top teams are Cleveland and Okay. See, it's just
bad for business. So the Lakers are pretty boring. So
why don't you shake it off and we'll make sure
Luca goes to LA. Don't even offer him to any
other team because he might have ended up in Oklahoma
City and that would have been bad. So just that's it.

(10:33):
So it was all manipulated by the League office, the association.
Decent conspiracy theory. But my favorite, my new favorite today,
ask me tomorrow. I have a new favorite. But my
new favorite, Lukeka, my name is Luca. My new favorite
conspiracy here is that the Mavericks GM Nico Harrison is

(10:58):
James Bond and double O seven James Bond. What do
I mean by that he's a secret double agent provocateur.
That Nico Harrison is pretending to be the executive running
the Dallas Mavericks, trying to win in Dallas, but he
is working as a James Bond double agent. You see,

(11:20):
you can take the boy out of Nike, but you
can't take the Nike out of the boy and for
nineteen years working his way up. Nico Harrison was a
Nike executive. And if you look at Luka Doncik a
proud the Nike guy. If you look at Luca, they

(11:41):
need to sell shoes. You're gonna sell more shoes with
the Mavericks. You're gonna sell more shoes with the Lakers.
These shoe magnets they directed. The conspiracy is that Nico
Harrison was directed by Nike to trade Luca, but only
to Los Angeles. That's it, that's all. And he did it.

(12:03):
And so when he gets fired by the Mavericks for
doing this, he will just go back to Nike and
he doesn't care because they'll pay him a couple million
a year and it'll work for Nike. Decent conspiracy, all right, now,
final point from the files of the Bazaar. The files
of the Bazaar on the Ben Malor show, you Taw

(12:25):
Jazz president and former nemesis of the Lakers, a Celtic legend,
Danny Inge is do you see this? So if you
saw it, you're laughing right now because you know where
I'm going. So the story is that Danny Ainge had
no idea he was totally in the dark, that he
was helping to facilitate Luka Doncik going to Los Angeles.

(12:52):
That remember, the only way this works is if the
Jazz are the stool pigeons and they facilitate the trade
because they needed that third wheel. They needed that third
wheel to make this happen. And the Utah basketball team
did it. The boys in Salt Lakes said yeah, we'll
help you out. Sure, why not? So the reporting is

(13:14):
that Danny Ainge had had no idea. He's essentially claiming
ignorance until about thirty minutes before the trade was finalized,
that he was helping to make this happen. So how
does Danny Inge look with this over the top claim
from people around the Jazz that he was ignorant of

(13:35):
what he was doing and helping to be an accomplice
to the giveaway of Luka Dancik from Dallas to Lakers.
So Danny, I'll tell you, he looks. He looks like
he's having a bruskie. He's at a local watering hole.
The watering hole is named the Village Idiot, and he's
the mascot of the watering hole. Like, come on, I

(13:59):
understand you're all to get out of this. It looks
bad for the Jazz, right the Jazz. Lucas in his
mid twenties, So assuming he's not actually an alcoholic and
he needs to go to a fat farm, that's he's
not that bad. The Lakers will be okay with Luca
for a few years. And the Utah Jazz, who are
just you know, treading waters, playing tiddley Winks as they

(14:22):
waste time. I don't know what they're doing. I have
no idea what they're doing. The Utah Jaz just collecting
draft picks for a rainy day. Just collecting a lot
of draft picks is what they're doing. It's ridiculous. But
Danny anch does look like he's He's the mascot of
the watering hole known as the Village Idiot pub Man.
And there's a lot of people who love to tell

(14:43):
you how smart they are most of the time and
are very braggadocious about what they know and high basketball IQ.
Those people are claiming ignorance when it comes to this
getting the getting the Hey, I'm not my fault. I
didn't know. I had no idea. What are you talking about.
It's getting sketchier and sketchier by the minute, sketchier and

(15:05):
sketchier by the minute. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.

(18:10):
Ryan writes in, says, seeing Luca having his beer taken
out of his hand reminds me of your mentor Hack
saw Lee Hamilton saying hold my beer? How about down
a firefighter? That was a great outtake from a Lee Hamilton.
When I was in San Diego, my mentor Lee Hamilton,
he did remotes every Monday, and for a while it

(18:33):
was from Trophies, which I don't think even exists anymore.
This sports bar in San Diego, and he was recording
some commercials and he's a down at firefighter. It was
hilarious played that for a long time. Bozo, the district
attorney writes in, says, hey, Ben, I don't buy that
story about Luca. If he was really a fat ass trunk,

(18:56):
he'd be working in radio. But I'm bumped. It's a
good point. If you want to see a collection of
fat people who are alcoholics, go to New Orleans right now.
They're all over the streets. It's an eye opening experience.
What's up, boy? Yeah, guys doing the morning show who

(19:18):
are up all night and do not believe in sleeping.
They just say, you don't even need hotel. I don't
even know why I get hotel rooms. Just you know,
they're out all night and living there their greatest life.
There was a funny line I saw from a coach
of all people at the at the the Super Bowl,
Matt Naggi, who is a offensive assistant for the Kansas

(19:39):
City Chiefs, and he was asked as he was there
wandering around, somebody actually put a microphone in his face
and said, hey, Matt used to coach the Chicago Bears.
Any advice to Ben Johnson? And so Matt, not missing
a beat, he actually had a successful time in Chicago
with Mitch Trubisky. Mitche Bisky was the man's quarterback. Anyway,

(20:05):
Matt Naggi said his advice to Ben Johnson was win
and beat the packers. Drop Mike, drop Mike moment right there,
just drop the mic, walk away. That's it, and that's
that's about right. That's about right. Ben Johnson the flavor

(20:26):
of the month in the NFL. Everyone loves them Ben Johnson.
Right now. We'll see how that works out when he
has to do it on his own. Yes, legally blind

Speaker 3 (21:51):
This is Angry Bill.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Loive me this. It's Angry Bill. You're calling up early
angry Bill.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, well, just see someone Clark more. I took like, uh,
currently Clark could and wrapped Taylor Swift in her body
in one of those like eronic co Cone art things
that they playing.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Well, you sound you sound angry, Bill. You sound different.
You sound different ry.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
From you know I did. I did some times in prison.
I brought a note to the to the bank and
I said give me all your money. And they said
that this guy had down to them put him in
the state hospital.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Yeah, okay, all right, Well you said kind of like
blind Scott to me. I don't know. It seems odd
that you sound very similar to blind Scott. I don't
know why that would be.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
And now this is angry. But a woman hasn't seen
my junk in about a hundred years.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I took up people where women at It's not there apparently,
I guess yes. Man, all right, well, thank you, Angry Bill.
I appreciate it. I'm so glad we got that on
Angry Builder, the Pride of Nutley, New Jersey. So's Andy
real something going on that he needs a throat lozenge

(23:05):
or something like that. Is Andy Reid gonna retire after
the Super Bowl? Well, according to the owner of the Chiefs,
and these people never lie, they never lie. The owner
of the Chiefs has confirmed that Andy Reid will not
retire after the Super Bowl. He says, I know how
much fun Andy is having now. I would like to

(23:29):
address this because it is a popular narrative by popular
people in these sports media. They all go to the
same clown college to get into sports media. It's a
little different now because of the bloggers, fear and social
media and all that. However, the win a championship and
fade away and celebrate and retire, which is out of

(23:53):
a Disney sports movie. It's like, you win the championship,
the crowd goes wild, the confetti comes down, you celebrate
with champagne, and then you go off in to never
never land and that's it. However, like, if you're Andy Reid,
why would you retire? You would never? You can be
the all time winning his coach, And it's not even

(24:16):
about like having fun, which is nice, but the job's
an easy job, it isn't you know? Andy's past the
retirement age. Andy is what is he's sixty six years
old or something like that. Most people retire younger than that,
but he's sixty six. He has the record, he's winning

(24:39):
his coach in Eagles history and Chief's history, and he's
right there bird dogging the all time wins record held
by Don Shula, and he's chasing Bill Belichick and George
Hallis and Don Shula, the biggest names in the NFL.
And as long as mahomes healthy and there's no scandal

(25:01):
and he's able to play, there's no reason to think
that this is going to end anytime soon in Kansas City.
So can Andy Reid stay healthy? That's obviously the big thing,
because you get to his age, he's a bigger guy.
Can you keep the grim reaper of health problems away
and then continue on? Well, I can play one on

(25:22):
the radio. And if he can do that, Mahomes is
under contract through twenty thirty one. Now, I've been told
by my boots on the ground in Kansas City that
he's gonna get multiple reworked contracts before he's done with
the Chiefs, so he'd probably be there longer, long after
twenty thirty one. He signed that forever contract. But if

(25:44):
you're called your tire life, you have a chance to
win minimum eleven games every year, Like eleven and six
is the floor for Andy Reid. So there's no re
What are you gonna do? Go sit and danna point,
you know, stare at the ocean all day. He doesn't
seem like he's afer. He's an eater. We know he
likes to eat. But come on, and what about my friend,

(26:05):
the Andy Reid impersonator. What about that guy? That guy
would lose his job if Andy Reid steps away from
the NFL. Got to keep going. But these are the
questions that are being asked. There was also Travis Kelcey
who said he's essentially like McDonald's. He was asked if
he has any plans on retiring, did anyone expect Travis

(26:25):
Kelsey said, yeah, yeah, I think I'm gonna I think
I'm gonna hang it up. Yeah, I did actually think that. No,
but for him to admit it, why would you admit
that even if you're gonna do it to be an actor? Now,
So by saying I'm done with this commitment, I'm giving
myself to theater. No, I said. My point is, even
if he's going to retire, why would you announce you're

(26:46):
going to retire. Wouldn't you just retire? Wouldn't that the
moment be bigger after the Super Bowl? Right? They win
the championship and all that, and then he says, I
said I'm done and rides off in a corvette with Taylor.
Swift says, I'm out of here.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
They lived happily ever after for.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
A couple of years. So they get divorced, you know,
a couple of years and then you can go to
the divorce court and all that. What movie you're watching?
You guys got movies on here? It looks like the
part of that. It looked like the universal set, And
I've walked around on I don't know what movie this
is the one on the bottom left. I don't know.
I have different TVs in here, But do you have
you have a movie on? Does an there's a lot
of shooting going on.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
In the movie.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I don't know which one that is.

Speaker 4 (27:25):
Hold On, hold On, Greece is on the top one
we have, Grease.

Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'm not looking at that one. You had the one
with the shooting my peripheral vision. I got it in
my peripheral vision. Oh, London has fallen? Is that what
it is? Yeah, I don't know what that is. It
just looked for that. I've never heard of that either.
I have no idea, never heard of that.

Speaker 4 (27:46):
It's one of the uh fallen. You know, there's a
whole bunch of them. The Olympus has fallen as one
of them.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
I just I love a good sci fi movie, though, Bat,
you're all about the sci fi.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
I'm getting head the fog.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
You have Star Star Wars or Star Trek.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
Technically for sci fi, I would have to be Star Trek.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
It's a bad answer. It's my mortal enemy. But that's
what they always played on sci Fi. No but Captain
Captain Kirk Cook Cook, Captain Kirk totally the enemy of
the Mallard militia. Way before you were on the show Arena,
we went to war with Captain Kirk was he on
the show indirectly, He was very much part of the show.

(28:32):
He was spats with Shats one of the great eras
in the history of the show. We battled the Mallard Militia.
Battled William Shatner. Wow. Yeah. He was on a trans
continental flight to Germany and was furiously trying to block
members of the Mallard militia and he started accidentally following
members of the militia. This story, yeah, yeah, it was

(28:54):
a famous story. So I have a mutual friend with
William Shatner, this guy named Freer, and so fred Fred decided,
you know, he would interact. He wanted me and I
guess Shatner to be buddies. I get, I don't know,
but he tagged us in certain things on social media.
So Shatner, I've been getting replies from Shatner, right, So
then I started sending Shatner messages and he's getting annoyed, right,

(29:17):
He's getting annoyed. And then I had I deputized the
mal Or Militia to say hello to Shatner, and it
got really heated between us, and then he said checkmate,
and he blocked me. And then there was a celebrity
auction because he's he does a bunch of horse stuff
over in Burbank, so he's got like a horse charity
thing and a listener. How much was it five hundred

(29:40):
one thousand dollars? Somebody paid like either five hundred one
thousand dollars to have him unblock me on on social
media at an auction. But there was one night in particular,
Shatner was on a trans continental flight to Germany. It
was like his birthday or something like that. He was
going to some comic book convention in Germany. He was

(30:00):
he was listening. He wasn't listening, but he was on
social media and we were having people say hello to him.
And he was really getting upset as the night was
going on because he didn't he didn't know how to
like he was trying to block everybody, and he started
following people. I'm getting screenshots from like the guys working

I'm not looking at it. It's it's in the background.
But in my peripheral vision it looked one of the

(30:41):
scenes in the movie. And maybe it wasn't, but it
looked like one of the sets that I walked on
the other day, and I was like, oh, it kind
of looks familiar, like I feel like I've been there,
but maybe not. Maybe it was just, you know, just coincidence.

The late Ravens wide receiver, special teams player Jacobe Jones

(36:16):
and Blank share the Super Bowl record for the most
touchdowns on plays of fifty or more yards in one game.
Joe Montana Joel Montana. Wow, that's an amazing answer, showing
a great depth of football knowledge. That is incorrect. The
correct answer is Ricky Sanders and the old Washington Redskins
against the Broncos in Super Bowl twenty two. And there's

(36:41):
a famous SoundBite when the Redskins visited the White House
and it was Ronald Reagan's White House and President Reagan's
though he tried to throw the ball, he was fing around.
Where's Ricky Sanders run? Ricky run? I remember it was
pretty funny, something along those lines. I don't remember exactly
I'm paraphrasing. So don't hold me to it. Here we go,
Here we go, Mallard, how about that?

Speaker 2 (37:03):
To the third degree?

Speaker 1 (37:06):
This is one big fan gets grilled Kubler.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
It was announced over the weekend that Chip Kelly will
return to the NFL as the offensive coordinator for the
Las Vegas Raiders. Ben, do you think Loue will eventually
see Chip Kelly back in a head coaching position.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
No, because he does not want to be a head
coach in college unless it's at one of the diamond
schools in the Big Ten or the SEC. He doesn't
want to go to place like UCLA where they don't
care about football and all that. And the other problem
is Chip is too old. He's sixty one. He's a
football lifer. You look at where he has coached around
the United States. He started at Columbia in nineteen ninety.

(37:43):
He's been to New Hampshire, John Hopkins, Oregon, the Eagles,
the forty nine ers, UCLA, Ohio State. Now he's with
the Raiders. The guys moves around every couple of years.
He's a football vagabond. But his days as a head
coach over done. He will not be other than an
interim coach. He's not gonna be a head coach again.

Speaker 4 (38:02):
Next, TMZ caught up with Rams legend Isaac Bruce, who
told him that he is sure that Tory Holt will
be getting a call to join him in the Hall
of Fame this week. Ben, do you think Holt makes
the cut?

Speaker 1 (38:12):
He's borderline. I was not a fan of the Saint
Louis Rams. I was a fan of the La Rams.
I still am, but the Tory Holt borderline. He was
only in All Pro once, although he did win the
Super Bowl. He did end up on an All Decade team,
which is pretty cool. However, you can certainly tell the
story of the NFL without mentioning Tory Holt's name. He
was good. He was part of that greatest show on turf,

(38:33):
But that greatest show on turf should have been much
better for a longer period of time than they were.
They were like one hit wonders there.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Next, former Giants running back Brandon Jacobs spoke about the
Super Bowl and said, while it would be cool to
see Kansasity achieve a three peat, that the Tom Brady
dynasty is still better.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Is he right, Ben, Well, of course he's gonna say
that because he played against the Tom Brady dynasty. Of
course he's gonna say that, just like when I retire
from radio someday, I'm gonna say radio is better when
I was in radio. That's the way that it works.
Of course, you're gonna say your ero was better than
the other era. No. If the Chiefs win three in
a row, when people say it could never happen ever

(39:11):
again and all you know, nonsense, It's never happened before,
but it never happened a dynasty. Because of the salary cap,
it is absolutely more impressive than the Patriot run. That's
why everyone in Boston's pulling for the Eagles. How did
we do, Benny Passes, I didn't say, well, but on
the part I won again. Thank you, Lorayon. I just clapping,
thank you. I appreciate that. Hardy, hardy, hardy,
