Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our nuber two hour two of
the original Recipe podcast. Here as we brighten up your
day unless we don't, but you can cuddle up with
this podcast. It's okay, you can cuddle with the podcast.
I won't tell anybody. So how do you react to
the Lakers forcing speaking of a podcast a podcaster, not
(00:23):
JJ Redick, but a different podcaster out of the organization
over a coaching search coverage story. They were upset with
his coverage on a podcast. Also, we're hearing the NBA
will reject the TNT offer to match Amazon's TV deal.
What happens next in that developing story? And Lebron James,
(00:44):
we'll be singing the national anthem team Ussay's flag bearer
for the Paree Olympics opening ceremonies. How does this one
strike you? We'll talk about that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now as we swim in
our number two. A team that hired a podcaster as
(01:06):
their coach has fired someone over a podcast. You can't
make this stuff up. Wel come, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, we are in
the air everywhere, Comrades as we work like a dream,
(01:26):
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
beast and tremendously powerful microphones of fsre ammating live from
the circle. We are in the winners Circle, broadcasting live
from the tyrack dot com studios tyrect dot com. We'll
help you get there at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:49):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stallers tyrect dot com. The way tire buying should be.
Not Big Lou. He's not a ten thousand. He's only
on number two. And Big Lou sent me a story.
The Raiders are having training camp and Southern CALIFULI I
ready knew about this. I know some people over there
in Raiderland, but the Raiders are holding their training camp
(02:11):
in Coasta Mesa in southern California. Now, if they opened
that up to the public, there would be like one
hundred thousand Raider fans that would show up, right. Maybe
I'm exaggerating a little bit. Maybe it's actually like three
hundred thousand. I don't know, but they're not allowed to
do it. The rams and chargers, I'm not sure which one.
Maybe it was the charging me, it was both, but
(02:32):
they blocked the Raiders from allowing fans to come to
training camp. Big Lou sent me that story and I
was aware of it. And the cowboys are allowed to
do it because they their grandfather Nam. We're not gonna
talk about that though, are lead. This hour is from
pro Bouncy. But why would you talk about propancy bullets?
It's jily, what's wrong? When you are come down? I
(02:53):
go where the stories are the most interesting, and there's
there's an interesting one out of Lakerland. It involves the
the microw managing of the Purple and Gold franchise. Now
I don't even saw this or not. Maybe it didn't.
It was something that came across my radar. Wasn't high
on my radar at first, but then I started digging
into a little bit. I said, oh, that's a pretty
(03:14):
good story. That's a pretty good story, and I'm interested
in it. And the whole point of doing the show
is to talk about things I'm interested in. Otherwise what's
the point. So I'll give you I'll give you the
the bullets if you will on this, I might give
you the whole thing. But a fledgling podcaster, not JJ Reddick,
who they hires their coach, but a fledgling podcaster who
(03:35):
also had a job with the Lakers. I was at
a job, some like nothing job with the Lakers. He's
leaving the team because of a dispute about the way
he described the team's pursuit of a Yukon coach, Dan Hurley,
one of the more ridiculous stories of the NBA off season.
(03:57):
And we are told that the Laker pr hacks presented
this guy named Pete does a podcast with an ultimatum.
They said, hey, Pete, listen to us. You either have
to choose to continue the podcast or you have to
leave the organization. Surprised they didn't offer him a job
on the Lakers coaching staff, he chose to leave. He said, no, no,
(04:19):
na na, Hey, goodbye, I'm out of here. So let
us discuss how do you react. Give me your reaction
to the Lakers forcing Pete the podcaster out of his
job with the team over his coverage of the coaching
search in Lakerland. So I've got the board game, AMC
(04:41):
and shock Jock, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a pharmaceutical commercial,
which I think is like the number one advertisers like
pharmaceutical commercials and you watch Big Pharma. They're all those
of us. Anyway, Number one, you know my reaction to
the Lakers forcing out Pete the podcast or giving him
(05:02):
an ultimatum between doing the podcast and then working for
the Lakers. It is alarming. That is the word. I'm
gonna use it. It is alarming. And here's why. Now
you can say, hey, you're just a Laker hater and
all that stuff. You know what you're talking about. But
what triggered the Laker communication staff to issue the ultimatum?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What do you think it was? All right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So I did a little digging, and I didn't have
to dig that deep. None of these stories are that deep.
We're talking about sports. So I looked around, I kicked
over some dirt, and I came up with this that
the Lakers have turned into word federalies. They're the word police,
is what they are? And is it true? The decision
(05:48):
to issue a My Way or the Highway to podcast
Pete resulted from his reference to the team's pursuit of
Dan Hurley as a He used the s word saga, saga,
oh my god, hide the women, and Chuney said saga,
(06:10):
he said, Saga. The Lakers said, you can't do that anymore.
That's too hurtful. Saga. Ah man, you talk about playing
a board game trivial pursuit. Really, that's what you're upset
about now. I looked up the definition the Merriam Webster Dictionary.
The definition of saga a dramatic and often complicated story
(06:34):
or series of events, like trying to hire a guy
who does not want to leave the East Coast and
has a better job at Connecticut in terms of wins
and losses than coaching the Lakers. I like, seriously lighting
up Francis is the old movie line from years ago.
I would go now, page two, We head now to
(06:54):
the boob tube. Not as cool as radio, but pays
much better. 's soh We're hearing that the NBA, the
NBA who has been given paperwork from Turner Sports saying
they are going to match the offer. But we are
told that the NBA is going to reject TNT's offer
(07:18):
to match the Amazon portion of the TV deal. So
what happens next? Now, it's only a report of this
part of the story. We're turning the pages as we
go here, but we're in this chapter. And at this point,
the reporting behind a paywall at the Old Gray Lady
is that the NBA is going to block the attempt
(07:40):
by TNT to keep Amazon out of the basketball television deal.
So what happens next? So you turn to AMC, better
call Saul. Right. This becomes a legal drama. It becomes
a legal drama. And without reading the contract, we're not
privy to that. So we have to react based on
(08:01):
what we assume is in there. And so the way
the story looks, based on my years of legal experience,
I've been practicing law here on the radio, and I
did stay at a holiday and express not that long ago.
But based on all that, tn T has a very
winnable case. And here's why, Turner, if the contract reads
the way it's been described, Turner has a contractual right
(08:23):
to match the offer, which we're told they are doing.
They're matching the offer. It sounds like the NBA would
rather take out a machete and swashbuckle their way into
bed with Amazon. They want to hang out in the Amazon.
And what's gonna end up happening? Who always wins these stories?
Does T and T win? Does the NBA win? No?
(08:46):
The lawyers win billable hours, billable hours. They're gonna haggle
over words in the contract contract law. Was it a
breach of contract by TNT. Did they not get the
counteroffer in soon enough? Was it a breach of contract
by the NBA? Inquiring minds would like to know. So
a little birdie, little birdie, little tweety bird informs me
(09:10):
that the NBA is looking at a compromise. They would
like to do a little side hustle, if you will.
And so they're like, well, we've already got all the
TV stuff figured out. NBC is going to be on
board and they're going to be part of this, and
ESPN still going to be there. So they got those two,
and then they had Amazon, so they got three national
broadcast partners. So the business part of this is interesting
(09:33):
in me. So they know there's gonna be a lawsuit,
most likely from TNT if they reject the TNT offer
to match. So there's some noise going around. They're going
to create a separate, separate package just for TNT. So
Charles Barkley can continue with Ernie Johnson unless he retires,
(09:54):
and Kenny Smith and Shack and continue that show what
they should do the NBA is just have the do
the show, and who care? Nobody watches the games. Regular
season basketball is often unwatchable. Just have just have them
do the show and put it on NBC or whatever.
I Charles won't go there, and Ernie Johnson won't go there. Okay,
(10:15):
but tn T does not that they don't really have anything.
There's nothing there to me other than the sports when
I mean, that's what I am at. I mean, there's
some great shows on there I don't know about. But
there's also a conspiracy theory that tn T doesn't actually
want to pay, they don't want to actually spend the money,
and that they're just doing this knowing that the NBA
(10:35):
doesn't really want to be in business with them anymore,
and that they'll take a check, there'll be one of
those giant oversized cartoon checks like Alf the Alien Opiner Rights,
and then that they'll just go away and they'll take
the money and say, oh, we tried, you know, And
then they'll make Adam Silver the bad the bad guy,
and he'll have you know, egg on his face. All right, now,
stay tuned. On that final point. We head now to Perry,
(10:59):
where the Olympics are getting started this week. The Olympics
actually start on Wednesday. The opening ceremonies aren't till Friday,
but there are some events on Wednesday and Thursday of
this week. And we learned that Lebron James talked about
this a little bit last hour. But we'll get into
it now. Lebron James will be the Team USA flag
bearer for the Paris Olympics opening ceremonies coming up on Friday.
(11:22):
So how does this one strike you? Of all the athletes,
all the American athletes, they chose Lebron James. So we'll
get all the nonsense out of the way. It's obviously symbolic,
right goes without saying we all know that we're all
grown ups here. It's symbolic. And I'm just not an
Opening night person. I'd like to get myself worked up
into a tizzy over this story, but I'm not at
(11:45):
that point. I'm not. Some people are into it, I'm
not so much. I'm pomping circumstance. It's a big parade.
I'm not a big parade guy. I feel like I've
been to enough parades. I don't need parades. I'm fine
with that. It's not really my appetite. That said, right,
it does make sense for a couple of reasons, and
having the wisdom of the stars and the moon and
(12:09):
the afterglow of the full moon, I can tell you
exactly how Lebron James was handpicked to provide the American flag. Now,
we're not sure whether he's gonna kneel or not while
he's walking around. He might just drop and take a
knee when they play the anthem. You know, that might
be it. But here's the thing. There are alternative motives
(12:31):
at play. There are there are ulterior motives and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Here.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Lebron is a firebrand. He is he's polarizing. Based on
when I bring his name up, there's always a reaction
from the whack of the doodles and the knuckleheads and all that.
So if you're the US Olympic Committee, you're banking on
what we like to call in radio the Stern effect,
that Lebron's got, the Stern effect. That it's named after
(12:56):
an old shock jock, Howard Stern, where he went woke
we all we all more in the loss of Howard Stern,
that he went went to the dark side. But anyway,
at one point he was the most listened to man
in radio ever, loved him and all that stuff and whatever.
But the line, and it does apply to Lebron. Right,
patriotic Americans that hate Lebron James will actually watch the
(13:20):
opening ceremonies in Paris of the Olympics on the water there.
They will watch more than the people that don't really
like Lebron, or they don't that love Lebron. All right,
So the people that hate Lebron are gonna watch longer
than the people that like Lebron just to make sure
they don't miss any opportunity where Lebron does take a
knee or maybe does like a salute to China or
(13:42):
something like that, and that would upset a lot of people.
And so there you go. And now, based on the
feedback that we've gotten already and I didn't even this
story came out early in the morning. I was sleeping
and my inbox was filled. Do you, Sue Lebron, did
you see that?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, it seems that you have not many of you
have not forgotten the things that Lebron has done and
the past. And we cannot dismiss the other part of
this is you cannot dismiss the sugar daddy element, and
that's big sneaker Nike, which is essentially bankrolling this is
the Olympics are a Nike production. Who are we kidding here?
(14:19):
Nike Nike, Nike, Nike Nike. Is there a bigger star
playing a sport right now in America? I'm sure there's
some soccer players, but I'm talking about America than Lebron James.
So the people at the Olympics are like, hey, Nike's
paying the bills. They're the sugar daddy, and we've got
to make sure the sugar daddy's happy. And so whatever
(14:39):
the sugar daddy wants will help him out. We'll take
care of him. So they want Lebron, they got Lebron.

You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mahler Show. Just follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mallar and you can post
that and follow our executive producer. He is maning the phones.
He's the guy you talked to to try and get
on the air. It is the Coop the Loop, Justin
(16:51):
Cooper and he's at you, h bronco.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Fan, Justin Prefers Black stamma.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Ill, I'm thetyrack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Late Night drug Tester Rights and he says it makes sense.
Reacting to the Mallard monologue about pro bouncy Ball the
podcast The Lakers Got Rid of the Lebron flag thing
late Night, Dructester says, it makes sense Lebron is the
US flag bear since he will just be holding the
flag while on a moving boat. He doesn't have to walk.
Load management is fine, that's true. Standing on a boat,
(17:27):
the boat's doing all the work, you don't have to
worry about. He's just stand there, hold a flag up
and uh yeah, knock yourself out. Who else you have?
Page Dan king Rory says, I mean it could be worse.
Britney Griner could be the flag bear for Team USA.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Jordan says a D minus on the Mallard monologue for
not recognizing the most famous athlete in the world, Lionel Messi,
currently plays in the US. Yeah, he's just stealing us
money though his heart is not there. He's just like
a part time game. It's a hustle to rip off
dumb Americans. That's what Lionel Messi's doing. Let's be honest
(18:05):
about that. Come on, like these start these European soccer
stars come to America at the end of their careers,
when they're like, oh, let's get some of that little
extra cash, and well, it's more about branding than money,
because these guys are all ridiculously wealthy. But they're like, oh,
I go to the States and can I can then
sell more merchandise here. I'll open up a whole new
world of fans that aren't soccer fans that might be
(18:26):
interested because I'm here and all that stuff. A head
of the news says Ben b Minus on the Lebron
James flag monologue. Why does they washed up almost forty
year old has been deserved to carry the banner. You
can't reward mediocrity and expect to win the team sport
to basketball goal. It's not about that. It's like, hey,
(18:46):
Nike's like, hey, we can have that commercial. Do you
think they've already done the commercial and they're just waiting
for that last clip of Lebron like walking on the
boat or holding the flag on the boat. You know
there's gonna be a commercial. In fact that they'll likely
cut to commercial when they show Lebron and the US
Olympic representatives and then they'll have a Nike commercial with Lebron.
(19:11):
I'll bet on that right, anyone I'll bet on that
right now, I'm gonna bet money on that that. That's
there's a Lebron Olympic flag commercial that airs right after Lebron.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Does this thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Mark in Santa Monica says, then this is why I
am a Clippers fan. They are not snowflakes like the Lakers.
And the Lakers again, if you missed it, they gave
an ultimatum to a podcast guy who was doing some
work with the team because he had the audacity, he
had the hoots, the gall to use the word saga
when talking about the Lakers pursuit of Dan Hurley. Go
(19:47):
to the phones. The birthday boy is online one we
salo to, hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yeah, be h, James, James,
is your birthday James James?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Hey look it's Tammy.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
My god, look at that outfic. She's right, unbelievable Tammy
in Montana. Yeah, he's not even snoring that much. Let's
see here, see we can get a storm. That's old school.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
How about the lace Chaddy?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh oh, I got yeah, there you go, there you all.
I got him excited. Let's try another one. If you're
going to be my radio temp.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I need to get better paid.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Whoa way, Hey, hey James, what was that James? It's
a family show, James, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
A little gurgle.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, that's a pig. James does this?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What do you think he's dreaming about?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What do you I think we know, we know what
he's dreaming about. Man, I think that Tammy and Montana
call weird him out. There probably no energy left. I
don't know why. Oh there, Okay, No, you heard the
guy heard like gy Eddie. He heard that hollering James
(21:26):
and Tammy Montana. Okay, that sounded sexual. All right, hold on,
I want to go put you on hold. Let's let's
say let's say a lot of angry Bill. Who's in Florida. Hello,
angry Bill?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Well, Ben, you always put me on after that clown
doesn't get on.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
But that's okay, Well, you want to be put you
on hold if you want, you want to go on hold?
All right, I'll put you on hold. Fine, let's go
to Andre in the common Well, Hello, Andrey.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Hello, Ben, it's good.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
It's good to be with you on this evening because
I certainly certainly have something to say now. I wanted
to there's a happy birthday in order that a gentleman
was sleeping. But I, you know, lets me know, he
went hard for his birthday, which I which I respect,
and maybe he'll get like a golden ticket for the
next time, you know, since it was his birthday, and
like in the interest of kind of understanding, he gets
(22:24):
a golden ticket so we can get back on and
kind of give his takes. But I do have a
little bit of a bone to pick. I got a
little bit of a bone to pick, I gotta tell
you because and I know there's no issue. There's no
dysentery in the ranks of the Malon Militia. But one
of the critiques was that I don't actually have a dog.
That was one of the critiques yesterday, that Willis doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I gotta tell you, Andre, we live in a world
of conspiracy. We are surrounded by conspiracy.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Okay, so so so so, even though I respect all
my fellow my fellow members of the militia, we got
to at the record stree. Okay, Willis there is no
figment of anybody's imagination. Okay, Like I said, he's a
German shepherd, he's a black lab mixed and he's a
malinow that's the canine like police dogs. You know what
I mean? Not only does he exist, then you know
what this u bluttle bugger did. He's almost two years old.
(23:16):
He broke in. He broke in. You know, he has
a certain area. He broke into my lab, my office,
and he almost he almost created an issue. He almost
created an issue. I think Willis. I think Willis was
offended that you know that people have, uh you know,
kind of questioned his actual existence. So to sort of
pay it off, I get back from a day at
the office, a productive day, and what do we have?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
You know, I had to clean up.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
The metsal No, how about this? Why don't we decide
this once as Willis there are next door? Okay, that
dogs licked that whole thing. Could you wake up the dog?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Possibly? You could wake the dog because if we get
a bark, that proves the dogs there, that proves it's
not misterious block like jelly or something like that, that
that it's not a gray or you have follow or
some other bigfoot or sasquatch or which is the same thing, or.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
You're looking at Willis, he's half he's half.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
See when you're listening to our live coverage, Andre, and
the Commonwealth is about to wake up his dog. Willis
to see if the dog will make a noise to
prove the dog is real.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Here we go, hold on, all right, So he gave you,
gave you, He gave you a little.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
He gave you a look.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
He gave you a look.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Could it's radio? I can't. That doesn't do it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, you didn't.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
He just gave it.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Look.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
I couldn't.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
I couldn't get.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Don't treats you treat there's nothing he was.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
He was half you know what I mean, he's half
sleep because we we just did the last I told
you about yesterday. But let me get to my sake,
let me get this.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Is not why are you waiting, Andre, This is only
going to enhance the This is only going to add
to the more fuel to the fire. Here on that
you are. This is some kind of conspiracy here. It's
sheer and utter madness. Maybe it's that stuff dog? Is
it a stuff? Because that did happen? I met I
met this guy, David from winter Park, Florida with his
(25:04):
Roscoe the parrot, and he drove all the way from
winter Park, Florida, to Boston. We did a mall of
meet and greet years ago and he he said, I said,
where's the parrot? And he went out to his car
and he grabbed his stuffed animal parrot. He said, here's
a Roscoe the parrot. Hand of God, true story happened.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Willis doesn't, but he's he's looking at me a little
bit strange here. I don't think. I Don't'm not going
to get anything audible from him, you know what I.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Mean, there's gotta be some is Willis like some dogs
are afraid of watered as well as will It's afraid
of water negative negative? All right?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
What else?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
What would we get a reaction? But I know my
dog always like to fart. Does his dog fart?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You that doesn't prove it's a dog. Yeah, No, there's
no flatulence from the dog, So there's no no issue
with water.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
What have you?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Just like and I'm not you should not abuse it,
but like you just quietly kind of like poke the
dog a little bit. You know, we get to get
a reaction with that. React with the dog react.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Hold on, hold on, We'll get him a pack.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I got another idea, and I'm not feeling it. Andre
I don't know. I mean this is uh Willis attack.
Come on, Willis, Willis attack. Go knock on the door,
hit the doorbell, on the door. My dog's nuts ring
(26:23):
the doorbell. We'll wait for that. This is very important.
You're listening to a live coverage. Nobody else has this. Ay,
we're the only network that has this in all of
Sports Talk rated. They're actually talking sports. So Andre, know
what happened?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Hung up?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Oh my god, he hung up. We're about to catch
Andre obviously doesn't have a dog. All right.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Somewhere justin Cincinnati is doing a dance, doing a happy
dance right there, and ferg dog's putting some memes together
with malarprop guy.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It is the Ben Maler Show. We'll get back to
the calls. Boy, that was interesting. I had sleeping James,
we had angry Bill who got upset and wanted to
go back on hold, and then we had Andre and
his stuffed animal dog.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So that's what we did.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
If you poke a dogg or like my Moxie, I
spray water, Moxie like starts barking, freaking. What like if
you spray like a spray bottle of water Moxie, Uh
freaks out. She said, destroyed the sprinklers. She attacks the sprinklers,
So it's a it's a bad situation.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
There's something the NFL in a story that could be
nothing but involves a starting quarterback, which automatically makes it something.
Jordan Love is holding in with the Green Bay Packers.
Is not a holdout because he is in training camp,
but he will not participate in practices or games this
preseason until he gets a new contract extension. Without a
new deal, Love would only make eleven million dollars this season,
(27:53):
the final of your of a mini.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Exten the that is the equivalent of this slowdown strike
right where you you main on the job, but you
don't you know. I guess it's kind of a slowdown.
Would be you you don't stop working, you still work, right,
that's a slowdown.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I think it's comparable because I think he is doing
like meetings and other things, but he's not practicing or if.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
They okay, so it is a slow down. So it's right,
it's a slow down. I think that's all right. There's
the wildcat strike. There's the hunger strike? What other strikes?
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What's the way? I can't remember. What's the wildcat strike?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
That's where workers are like, you're in a union or
something like that, and you don't have consent to strike,
but you do it anyway. You have to vote when
you're in a union, and yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
You go on a hunger strike. I guess you could.
I do?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yes, I do, And then I can eat what I
want because I don't eat most of the week.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
And so are you going to load up in Vegas
when we go? Are you gonna it's all all hands
on deck for whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
To be determined? Eddy, No, to be determined. I'm considering it,
but I might have to like go all week without
eating before or you know, or after something like that.
We'll see what happens. Hey, it is the Ben Mahler Show,
and let's have some fun.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
What do you say, maller?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Right? Fun fact? I was watching the Dodgers and the
Higantes at Dodgers Stadium and the Dodgers won that game.
Late the game was started by Blake Snell. Here's the
fun fact. Blake Snell, the Giants are paying him thirty
two million dollars this season, he has made all of
nine starts. The San Francisco Giants have a losing record
(29:32):
in games started by Blake Snell. That is a fun fact.
Is that not fun? I'm smiling from ear to ear.
I'm not playing unless I get mine. Yeah, he gots money,
and Bro, I'm risking my life, bra Yeah. And the
Giants could end up trading him. He's only been there
(29:53):
nine starts, hurting some chat of the trade deadlines coming
up that he could be relocated. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say hello to let's see, let's se
if James is awake, hollowing James. He awake, James, he's away, Gaddy,
he's awake. It's his birthday and he's away. Yeah, we
don't do birthday shoutouts. Hollowing James, so I cannot do
(30:14):
a shout out for you. I think he's I think
he's talking to sleep. He was talking to sleep.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He did say something, he say.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yes, he acknowledged said something. Whoa man, This guy's amazing.
That's a superpower. He should have been able to fly
or stop stop a bullet with his hand or no.
(30:46):
I don't know what to do with that. I would
have gotten angry Bill, but he's like he don't want
to go after hollowing James. So let's say a lit
to my lawyer Bill, formerly in Venice, but Bill's now
in Korea Town in LA. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Bill?
Speaker 9 (30:59):
Bill?
Speaker 7 (31:01):
I was sell home for like third Lineas.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
You want to go back on hold, I can keep
you on hold longer if you want. You do not okay,
you would like to be on the air, Hey Bill,
let me tell you rapid race You ever heard about
rapid radios?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Bill?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
And I don't say that?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, let me that's why they paid for commercials. Rapid
radios are instant push to talk walkie talkies, offering national
LTE coverage and no subscription or monthly fee. Business owners
can keep in touch with up to two hundred staff

mobile phone for your kids. Keep them off those mobile phones.

with Mike Harmon. We were all talking about rapid radios.
(32:03):
Everyone in the building's talking about rapid radios. Yes, So
what do you have, Bill?
Speaker 7 (32:09):
Where do I.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
You?
Speaker 8 (32:13):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 7 (32:16):
To rapid radio? Where do I sign?
Speaker 1 (32:20):
You go to their website and then you put in
your information and then they send you a box and
what's in the box And in the box, Bill would
be the rapid radios. Yeah, shocking concept.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
I was just trying to make the Dodgers in a row.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Okay, so now we're going to the Dodgers. Here we
go the Dodgers. Yes, and now they're teasing us yet again.
The Dodgers have an eight and a half game leading
the Nationalague West, and they starting to pick it up
a little bit here after the All Star break. They
sucked before the All Star break, and so the Dodgers
could end up, you know, they were in striking this
in of the top record in all of baseball and
(33:02):
that would mean home field.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Throughout the what guests who on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh is that Kershaw or Glass? Now they're both coming
back age?
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Well, I gave you two guesses in the first who
don't count?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Huh the Dodgers. The Dodgers are three and a half
games behind the Fight and fills for the top record
in baseball.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
I'm not talking about the American League. I'm taking about
the National League.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You think the phild is playing the American League? Okay,
that's news to me. I didn't know that. Maybe they moved.
I didn't realize that.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Guests, who's got to run from trans this year?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
You are.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
No Montic Klewinsky.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
All right, thank you, Bill, appreciate that. There's our friend.
Bill stayed on hold for that. That's a classic stylings
of Bill. How lucky are we that the first call
he made when he got out of the Gray Bar
Hotel was our show. I haven't had anyone get out
of prison recently. That's called the show. You boys in prison,
(34:17):
Remember when you get out your first phone call to
this show, that's what you call us. You call uncle
Benny and in the team here and you say hello.
That's what you do. So showy Otani. He's a baseball player,
and he took short money from the Dodgers. I may
even very little this this season and he's going to
(34:38):
get most of the money deferred. He can afford to
do that because Otani is now making one hundred million,
almost one hundred million dollars per year from endorsements. His
endorsement salary is around one hundred million dollars. Not to
play baseball, to sell you overpriced crap that you don't need.
(34:59):
That That is so Tommy one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Me living on that money. It's like Jay Leno back
in the day. You know, you squirrel away the contract
from NBC and you spend the money you make from endorsements.
We're gonna have mallard of the third degree. Here's the
insta trivia. Blank, We'll go to back to the Hall
of Fame one more time. Blank is the first Hall
of Famer to have played his entire career during the
(35:24):

entire career during the twenty first century. That is the
instant trivia. The answer. We'll get to it. We'll do
it next.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
And here is the Insta trivia and we'll get to
Mallard of the third degree. Blank is the first Baseball
Hall of Famer to have played his entire career during
the twenty first century. And that is the question. What
is the answer that see? Does anyone know the answer?
We go to the Malard Militia and they always pay
(36:33):
very close attention to the question. Cowboy Killer says, it's
got to be former criminal Martha Stewart, that's the answer.
Who else do we have? Page down? A lot of
reaction to Andrea's phone call. The Burner accounts all over
that late night drug tester says, you are Daniel Ratcliffe,
who is thirty five today. That's from him Sid Bream.
Guess by the art of sports talk, you think twenty
(36:55):
first century baseball, you think Sid Bream. Ferkducks is hollering.
James second favorite radio host, Mike Francessa is the answer.
Robin Vegas going with Dwayne the Rock Johnson is his answer.
Todd Zeal from mister nice guy, ti Oscar Hernandez from
Art Puffin. He's been bawling for the Dodgers, Eddie, do
you have an answer?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Eddy? Adrian Beltra?
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Is it Adrian Beltrey? Now he actually was in the
in the nineties, but it was it was Joe Mauer,
Joe Mawer, the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
To the third degree, this is one big fan gets great.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Joe Mauer played with the Twins from twenty ozho four
to twenty eighteen, and somehow they put him in the
Hall of Fame when he shouldn't be. All right, well, cool,
look what do we have here? Cool.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Speaking to reporters over the weekend, John Harbass said that
the vision that he has with Lamar Jackson. Is Jackson
being recognized as the greatest quarterback to play in the
history of the game, Ben, what do you think Jackson's
actual ceiling is on the all time quarterback list?
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Well, the ceiling is the kryptonite and that's the problem here,
and that the greatest stat of all about Lamar Jackson,
the frailties of Lamar Jackson is six six six, the
sign of the devil, which also is the number of
playoff touchdowns, the number of playoff interceptions, and the number
of playoff fumbles. Lamar Jackson has had six, six and
(38:20):
six And at this point his ceiling is Dan Marino,
good regular season guy, not a great playoff player.
Speaker 9 (38:25):
Next, last week you said that Tiger Woods wasn't hurting
his legacy with all of these recent poor performances. Well,
some are saying that Sean Payton could start to ruin
his legacy with more bad seasons in Denver, Ben, is
that true?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
No, because they don't have a quarterback. And they'll say, well, yeah,
as long as he had Drew Brees, he was fine
and all that, and then you have to deal with that.
But now you can't compare Sean Payton to Tiger Woods, Like,
there's a billion coaches better than Sean Payton in the NFL.
He's won a super Bowl, but there's a lot of
guys that won a Super Bowl. I had been playing
the Super Bowl since the sixties. But no, it's it's
(39:00):
an apples and orangees comparison because Tiger is at the
very top. Next.
Speaker 9 (39:04):
Pirates have been one of the hottest teams in baseball
over the past couple of weeks, and it looks like
they may have positioned themselves to be buyers at the deadline. Ben,
do you think the Pirates are capable of making a
Diamondbacks like run.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yes, but they're not gonna do any their their owners
a cheap ash. They're not gonna spend any money. The
Pirates have no offense. They're in the bottom tier in
every key offensive category. But if you get in the playoffs,
they have Paul Skins, they have his hot girlfriend. You
know they could they could win some games with him
on the mound. He win two games in every series.
(39:34):
But they're not gonna spend money in ad players. They
do need offense. If they do that, Yeah, how do
we do Coe? You pass this edition? That's a rare
i won the game.
Hello and welcome. It's our nuber two hour two of
the original Recipe podcast. Here as we brighten up your
day unless we don't, but you can cuddle up with
this podcast. It's okay, you can cuddle with the podcast.
I won't tell anybody. So how do you react to
the Lakers forcing speaking of a podcast a podcaster, not
(00:23):
JJ Redick, but a different podcaster out of the organization
over a coaching search coverage story. They were upset with
his coverage on a podcast. Also, we're hearing the NBA
will reject the TNT offer to match Amazon's TV deal.
What happens next in that developing story? And Lebron James,
(00:44):
we'll be singing the national anthem team Ussay's flag bearer
for the Paree Olympics opening ceremonies. How does this one
strike you? We'll talk about that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now as we swim in
our number two. A team that hired a podcaster as
(01:06):
their coach has fired someone over a podcast. You can't
make this stuff up. Wel come, in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Mathers Show, we are in
the air everywhere, Comrades as we work like a dream,
(01:26):
coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the
beast and tremendously powerful microphones of fsre ammating live from
the circle. We are in the winners Circle, broadcasting live
from the tyrack dot com studios tyrect dot com. We'll
help you get there at unmatched selection, fast, free shipping,
(01:49):
free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended in
stallers tyrect dot com. The way tire buying should be.
Not Big Lou. He's not a ten thousand. He's only
on number two. And Big Lou sent me a story.
The Raiders are having training camp and Southern CALIFULI I
ready knew about this. I know some people over there
in Raiderland, but the Raiders are holding their training camp
(02:11):
in Coasta Mesa in southern California. Now, if they opened
that up to the public, there would be like one
hundred thousand Raider fans that would show up, right. Maybe
I'm exaggerating a little bit. Maybe it's actually like three
hundred thousand. I don't know, but they're not allowed to
do it. The rams and chargers, I'm not sure which one.
Maybe it was the charging me, it was both, but
(02:32):
they blocked the Raiders from allowing fans to come to
training camp. Big Lou sent me that story and I
was aware of it. And the cowboys are allowed to
do it because they their grandfather Nam. We're not gonna
talk about that though, are lead. This hour is from
pro Bouncy. But why would you talk about propancy bullets?
It's jily, what's wrong? When you are come down? I
(02:53):
go where the stories are the most interesting, and there's
there's an interesting one out of Lakerland. It involves the
the microw managing of the Purple and Gold franchise. Now
I don't even saw this or not. Maybe it didn't.
It was something that came across my radar. Wasn't high
on my radar at first, but then I started digging
into a little bit. I said, oh, that's a pretty
(03:14):
good story. That's a pretty good story, and I'm interested
in it. And the whole point of doing the show
is to talk about things I'm interested in. Otherwise what's
the point. So I'll give you I'll give you the
the bullets if you will on this, I might give
you the whole thing. But a fledgling podcaster, not JJ Reddick,
who they hires their coach, but a fledgling podcaster who
(03:35):
also had a job with the Lakers. I was at
a job, some like nothing job with the Lakers. He's
leaving the team because of a dispute about the way
he described the team's pursuit of a Yukon coach, Dan Hurley,
one of the more ridiculous stories of the NBA off season.
(03:57):
And we are told that the Laker pr hacks presented
this guy named Pete does a podcast with an ultimatum.
They said, hey, Pete, listen to us. You either have
to choose to continue the podcast or you have to
leave the organization. Surprised they didn't offer him a job
on the Lakers coaching staff, he chose to leave. He said, no, no,
(04:19):
na na, Hey, goodbye, I'm out of here. So let
us discuss how do you react. Give me your reaction
to the Lakers forcing Pete the podcaster out of his
job with the team over his coverage of the coaching
search in Lakerland. So I've got the board game, AMC
(04:41):
and shock Jock, and we will combine all of these
things together and we are going to make a pharmaceutical commercial,
which I think is like the number one advertisers like
pharmaceutical commercials and you watch Big Pharma. They're all those
of us. Anyway, Number one, you know my reaction to
the Lakers forcing out Pete the podcast or giving him
(05:02):
an ultimatum between doing the podcast and then working for
the Lakers. It is alarming. That is the word. I'm
gonna use it. It is alarming. And here's why. Now
you can say, hey, you're just a Laker hater and
all that stuff. You know what you're talking about. But
what triggered the Laker communication staff to issue the ultimatum?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
What do you think it was? All right?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So I did a little digging, and I didn't have
to dig that deep. None of these stories are that deep.
We're talking about sports. So I looked around, I kicked
over some dirt, and I came up with this that
the Lakers have turned into word federalies. They're the word police,
is what they are? And is it true? The decision
(05:48):
to issue a My Way or the Highway to podcast
Pete resulted from his reference to the team's pursuit of
Dan Hurley as a He used the s word saga, saga,
oh my god, hide the women, and Chuney said saga,
(06:10):
he said, Saga. The Lakers said, you can't do that anymore.
That's too hurtful. Saga. Ah man, you talk about playing
a board game trivial pursuit. Really, that's what you're upset
about now. I looked up the definition the Merriam Webster Dictionary.
The definition of saga a dramatic and often complicated story
(06:34):
or series of events, like trying to hire a guy
who does not want to leave the East Coast and
has a better job at Connecticut in terms of wins
and losses than coaching the Lakers. I like, seriously lighting
up Francis is the old movie line from years ago.
I would go now, page two, We head now to
(06:54):
the boob tube. Not as cool as radio, but pays
much better. 's soh We're hearing that the NBA, the
NBA who has been given paperwork from Turner Sports saying
they are going to match the offer. But we are
told that the NBA is going to reject TNT's offer
(07:18):
to match the Amazon portion of the TV deal. So
what happens next? Now, it's only a report of this
part of the story. We're turning the pages as we
go here, but we're in this chapter. And at this point,
the reporting behind a paywall at the Old Gray Lady
is that the NBA is going to block the attempt
(07:40):
by TNT to keep Amazon out of the basketball television deal.
So what happens next? So you turn to AMC, better
call Saul. Right. This becomes a legal drama. It becomes
a legal drama. And without reading the contract, we're not
privy to that. So we have to react based on
(08:01):
what we assume is in there. And so the way
the story looks, based on my years of legal experience,
I've been practicing law here on the radio, and I
did stay at a holiday and express not that long ago.
But based on all that, tn T has a very
winnable case. And here's why, Turner, if the contract reads
the way it's been described, Turner has a contractual right
(08:23):
to match the offer, which we're told they are doing.
They're matching the offer. It sounds like the NBA would
rather take out a machete and swashbuckle their way into
bed with Amazon. They want to hang out in the Amazon.
And what's gonna end up happening? Who always wins these stories?
Does T and T win? Does the NBA win? No?
(08:46):
The lawyers win billable hours, billable hours. They're gonna haggle
over words in the contract contract law. Was it a
breach of contract by TNT. Did they not get the
counteroffer in soon enough? Was it a breach of contract
by the NBA? Inquiring minds would like to know. So
a little birdie, little birdie, little tweety bird informs me
(09:10):
that the NBA is looking at a compromise. They would
like to do a little side hustle, if you will.
And so they're like, well, we've already got all the
TV stuff figured out. NBC is going to be on
board and they're going to be part of this, and
ESPN still going to be there. So they got those two,
and then they had Amazon, so they got three national
broadcast partners. So the business part of this is interesting
(09:33):
in me. So they know there's gonna be a lawsuit,
most likely from TNT if they reject the TNT offer
to match. So there's some noise going around. They're going
to create a separate, separate package just for TNT. So
Charles Barkley can continue with Ernie Johnson unless he retires,
(09:54):
and Kenny Smith and Shack and continue that show what
they should do the NBA is just have the do
the show, and who care? Nobody watches the games. Regular
season basketball is often unwatchable. Just have just have them
do the show and put it on NBC or whatever.
I Charles won't go there, and Ernie Johnson won't go there. Okay,
(10:15):
but tn T does not that they don't really have anything.
There's nothing there to me other than the sports when
I mean, that's what I am at. I mean, there's
some great shows on there I don't know about. But
there's also a conspiracy theory that tn T doesn't actually
want to pay, they don't want to actually spend the money,
and that they're just doing this knowing that the NBA
(10:35):
doesn't really want to be in business with them anymore,
and that they'll take a check, there'll be one of
those giant oversized cartoon checks like Alf the Alien Opiner Rights,
and then that they'll just go away and they'll take
the money and say, oh, we tried, you know, And
then they'll make Adam Silver the bad the bad guy,
and he'll have you know, egg on his face. All right, now,
stay tuned. On that final point. We head now to Perry,
(10:59):
where the Olympics are getting started this week. The Olympics
actually start on Wednesday. The opening ceremonies aren't till Friday,
but there are some events on Wednesday and Thursday of
this week. And we learned that Lebron James talked about
this a little bit last hour. But we'll get into
it now. Lebron James will be the Team USA flag
bearer for the Paris Olympics opening ceremonies coming up on Friday.
(11:22):
So how does this one strike you? Of all the athletes,
all the American athletes, they chose Lebron James. So we'll
get all the nonsense out of the way. It's obviously symbolic,
right goes without saying we all know that we're all
grown ups here. It's symbolic. And I'm just not an
Opening night person. I'd like to get myself worked up
into a tizzy over this story, but I'm not at
(11:45):
that point. I'm not. Some people are into it, I'm
not so much. I'm pomping circumstance. It's a big parade.
I'm not a big parade guy. I feel like I've
been to enough parades. I don't need parades. I'm fine
with that. It's not really my appetite. That said, right,
it does make sense for a couple of reasons, and
having the wisdom of the stars and the moon and
(12:09):
the afterglow of the full moon, I can tell you
exactly how Lebron James was handpicked to provide the American flag. Now,
we're not sure whether he's gonna kneel or not while
he's walking around. He might just drop and take a
knee when they play the anthem. You know, that might
be it. But here's the thing. There are alternative motives
(12:31):
at play. There are there are ulterior motives and whatnot.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Here.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Lebron is a firebrand. He is he's polarizing. Based on
when I bring his name up, there's always a reaction
from the whack of the doodles and the knuckleheads and all that.
So if you're the US Olympic Committee, you're banking on
what we like to call in radio the Stern effect,
that Lebron's got, the Stern effect. That it's named after
(12:56):
an old shock jock, Howard Stern, where he went woke
we all we all more in the loss of Howard Stern,
that he went went to the dark side. But anyway,
at one point he was the most listened to man
in radio ever, loved him and all that stuff and whatever.
But the line, and it does apply to Lebron. Right,
patriotic Americans that hate Lebron James will actually watch the
(13:20):
opening ceremonies in Paris of the Olympics on the water there.
They will watch more than the people that don't really
like Lebron, or they don't that love Lebron. All right,
So the people that hate Lebron are gonna watch longer
than the people that like Lebron just to make sure
they don't miss any opportunity where Lebron does take a
knee or maybe does like a salute to China or
(13:42):
something like that, and that would upset a lot of people.
And so there you go. And now, based on the
feedback that we've gotten already and I didn't even this
story came out early in the morning. I was sleeping
and my inbox was filled. Do you, Sue Lebron, did
you see that?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Okay, it seems that you have not many of you
have not forgotten the things that Lebron has done and
the past. And we cannot dismiss the other part of
this is you cannot dismiss the sugar daddy element, and
that's big sneaker Nike, which is essentially bankrolling this is
the Olympics are a Nike production. Who are we kidding here?
(14:19):
Nike Nike, Nike, Nike Nike. Is there a bigger star
playing a sport right now in America? I'm sure there's
some soccer players, but I'm talking about America than Lebron James.
So the people at the Olympics are like, hey, Nike's
paying the bills. They're the sugar daddy, and we've got
to make sure the sugar daddy's happy. And so whatever
(14:39):
the sugar daddy wants will help him out. We'll take
care of him. So they want Lebron, they got Lebron.

The great silent majority of listeners to the Ben Maler
Show sit in the sidelights, never having their opinions heard.
You're invited to break the glass ceiling by taking up
gigabytes with the Ben Mahler Show. Just follow your host
on x He's at Ben Mallar and you can post
that and follow our executive producer. He is maning the phones.
He's the guy you talked to to try and get
on the air. It is the Coop the Loop, Justin
(16:51):
Cooper and he's at you, h bronco.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Fan, Justin Prefers Black stamma.
Speaker 6 (16:58):
Ill, I'm thetyrack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios. It's
Ben Maller.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Late Night drug Tester Rights and he says it makes sense.
Reacting to the Mallard monologue about pro bouncy Ball the
podcast The Lakers Got Rid of the Lebron flag thing
late Night, Dructester says, it makes sense Lebron is the
US flag bear since he will just be holding the
flag while on a moving boat. He doesn't have to walk.
Load management is fine, that's true. Standing on a boat,
(17:27):
the boat's doing all the work, you don't have to
worry about. He's just stand there, hold a flag up
and uh yeah, knock yourself out. Who else you have?
Page Dan king Rory says, I mean it could be worse.
Britney Griner could be the flag bear for Team USA.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Who else?
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Jordan says a D minus on the Mallard monologue for
not recognizing the most famous athlete in the world, Lionel Messi,
currently plays in the US. Yeah, he's just stealing us
money though his heart is not there. He's just like
a part time game. It's a hustle to rip off
dumb Americans. That's what Lionel Messi's doing. Let's be honest
(18:05):
about that. Come on, like these start these European soccer
stars come to America at the end of their careers,
when they're like, oh, let's get some of that little
extra cash, and well, it's more about branding than money,
because these guys are all ridiculously wealthy. But they're like, oh,
I go to the States and can I can then
sell more merchandise here. I'll open up a whole new
world of fans that aren't soccer fans that might be
(18:26):
interested because I'm here and all that stuff. A head
of the news says Ben b Minus on the Lebron
James flag monologue. Why does they washed up almost forty
year old has been deserved to carry the banner. You
can't reward mediocrity and expect to win the team sport
to basketball goal. It's not about that. It's like, hey,
(18:46):
Nike's like, hey, we can have that commercial. Do you
think they've already done the commercial and they're just waiting
for that last clip of Lebron like walking on the
boat or holding the flag on the boat. You know
there's gonna be a commercial. In fact that they'll likely
cut to commercial when they show Lebron and the US
Olympic representatives and then they'll have a Nike commercial with Lebron.
(19:11):
I'll bet on that right, anyone I'll bet on that
right now, I'm gonna bet money on that that. That's
there's a Lebron Olympic flag commercial that airs right after Lebron.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Does this thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Mark in Santa Monica says, then this is why I
am a Clippers fan. They are not snowflakes like the Lakers.
And the Lakers again, if you missed it, they gave
an ultimatum to a podcast guy who was doing some
work with the team because he had the audacity, he
had the hoots, the gall to use the word saga
when talking about the Lakers pursuit of Dan Hurley. Go
(19:47):
to the phones. The birthday boy is online one we
salo to, hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yeah, be h, James, James,
is your birthday James James?
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Hey look it's Tammy.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
My god, look at that outfic. She's right, unbelievable Tammy
in Montana. Yeah, he's not even snoring that much. Let's
see here, see we can get a storm. That's old school.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
How about the lace Chaddy?
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh oh, I got yeah, there you go, there you all.
I got him excited. Let's try another one. If you're
going to be my radio temp.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
I need to get better paid.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Whoa way, Hey, hey James, what was that James? It's
a family show, James, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
A little gurgle.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, that's a pig. James does this?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
What do you think he's dreaming about?
Speaker 1 (21:02):
What do you I think we know, we know what
he's dreaming about. Man, I think that Tammy and Montana
call weird him out. There probably no energy left. I
don't know why. Oh there, Okay, No, you heard the
guy heard like gy Eddie. He heard that hollering James
(21:26):
and Tammy Montana. Okay, that sounded sexual. All right, hold on,
I want to go put you on hold. Let's let's
say let's say a lot of angry Bill. Who's in Florida. Hello,
angry Bill?
Speaker 7 (21:46):
Well, Ben, you always put me on after that clown
doesn't get on.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
But that's okay, Well, you want to be put you
on hold if you want, you want to go on hold?
All right, I'll put you on hold. Fine, let's go
to Andre in the common Well, Hello, Andrey.
Speaker 7 (22:02):
Hello, Ben, it's good.
Speaker 8 (22:03):
It's good to be with you on this evening because
I certainly certainly have something to say now. I wanted
to there's a happy birthday in order that a gentleman
was sleeping. But I, you know, lets me know, he
went hard for his birthday, which I which I respect,
and maybe he'll get like a golden ticket for the
next time, you know, since it was his birthday, and
like in the interest of kind of understanding, he gets
(22:24):
a golden ticket so we can get back on and
kind of give his takes. But I do have a
little bit of a bone to pick. I got a
little bit of a bone to pick, I gotta tell
you because and I know there's no issue. There's no
dysentery in the ranks of the Malon Militia. But one
of the critiques was that I don't actually have a dog.
That was one of the critiques yesterday, that Willis doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I gotta tell you, Andre, we live in a world
of conspiracy. We are surrounded by conspiracy.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
Okay, so so so so, even though I respect all
my fellow my fellow members of the militia, we got
to at the record stree. Okay, Willis there is no
figment of anybody's imagination. Okay, Like I said, he's a
German shepherd, he's a black lab mixed and he's a
malinow that's the canine like police dogs. You know what
I mean? Not only does he exist, then you know
what this u bluttle bugger did. He's almost two years old.
(23:16):
He broke in. He broke in. You know, he has
a certain area. He broke into my lab, my office,
and he almost he almost created an issue. He almost
created an issue. I think Willis. I think Willis was
offended that you know that people have, uh you know,
kind of questioned his actual existence. So to sort of
pay it off, I get back from a day at
the office, a productive day, and what do we have?
Speaker 7 (23:37):
You know, I had to clean up.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
The metsal No, how about this? Why don't we decide
this once as Willis there are next door? Okay, that
dogs licked that whole thing. Could you wake up the dog?
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (23:50):
Possibly? You could wake the dog because if we get
a bark, that proves the dogs there, that proves it's
not misterious block like jelly or something like that, that
that it's not a gray or you have follow or
some other bigfoot or sasquatch or which is the same thing, or.
Speaker 8 (24:04):
You're looking at Willis, he's half he's half.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
See when you're listening to our live coverage, Andre, and
the Commonwealth is about to wake up his dog. Willis
to see if the dog will make a noise to
prove the dog is real.
Speaker 8 (24:15):
Here we go, hold on, all right, So he gave you,
gave you, He gave you a little.
Speaker 7 (24:23):
He gave you a look.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
He gave you a look.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Could it's radio? I can't. That doesn't do it.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
No, you didn't.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
He just gave it.
Speaker 7 (24:31):
Look.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
I couldn't.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
I couldn't get.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Don't treats you treat there's nothing he was.
Speaker 8 (24:37):
He was half you know what I mean, he's half
sleep because we we just did the last I told
you about yesterday. But let me get to my sake,
let me get this.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Is not why are you waiting, Andre, This is only
going to enhance the This is only going to add
to the more fuel to the fire. Here on that
you are. This is some kind of conspiracy here. It's
sheer and utter madness. Maybe it's that stuff dog? Is
it a stuff? Because that did happen? I met I
met this guy, David from winter Park, Florida with his
(25:04):
Roscoe the parrot, and he drove all the way from
winter Park, Florida, to Boston. We did a mall of
meet and greet years ago and he he said, I said,
where's the parrot? And he went out to his car
and he grabbed his stuffed animal parrot. He said, here's
a Roscoe the parrot. Hand of God, true story happened.
Speaker 8 (25:19):
Willis doesn't, but he's he's looking at me a little
bit strange here. I don't think. I Don't'm not going
to get anything audible from him, you know what I.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Mean, there's gotta be some is Willis like some dogs
are afraid of watered as well as will It's afraid
of water negative negative? All right?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
What else?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
What would we get a reaction? But I know my
dog always like to fart. Does his dog fart?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
You that doesn't prove it's a dog. Yeah, No, there's
no flatulence from the dog, So there's no no issue
with water.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
What have you?
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Just like and I'm not you should not abuse it,
but like you just quietly kind of like poke the
dog a little bit. You know, we get to get
a reaction with that. React with the dog react.
Speaker 8 (26:00):
Hold on, hold on, We'll get him a pack.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I got another idea, and I'm not feeling it. Andre
I don't know. I mean this is uh Willis attack.
Come on, Willis, Willis attack. Go knock on the door,
hit the doorbell, on the door. My dog's nuts ring
(26:23):
the doorbell. We'll wait for that. This is very important.
You're listening to a live coverage. Nobody else has this. Ay,
we're the only network that has this in all of
Sports Talk rated. They're actually talking sports. So Andre, know
what happened?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Hung up?
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Oh my god, he hung up. We're about to catch
Andre obviously doesn't have a dog. All right.
Speaker 6 (26:48):
Somewhere justin Cincinnati is doing a dance, doing a happy
dance right there, and ferg dog's putting some memes together
with malarprop guy.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It is the Ben Maler Show. We'll get back to
the calls. Boy, that was interesting. I had sleeping James,
we had angry Bill who got upset and wanted to
go back on hold, and then we had Andre and
his stuffed animal dog.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
So that's what we did.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
If you poke a dogg or like my Moxie, I
spray water, Moxie like starts barking, freaking. What like if
you spray like a spray bottle of water Moxie, Uh
freaks out. She said, destroyed the sprinklers. She attacks the sprinklers,
So it's a it's a bad situation.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 6 (27:32):
There's something the NFL in a story that could be
nothing but involves a starting quarterback, which automatically makes it something.
Jordan Love is holding in with the Green Bay Packers.
Is not a holdout because he is in training camp,
but he will not participate in practices or games this
preseason until he gets a new contract extension. Without a
new deal, Love would only make eleven million dollars this season,
(27:53):
the final of your of a mini.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Exten the that is the equivalent of this slowdown strike
right where you you main on the job, but you
don't you know. I guess it's kind of a slowdown.
Would be you you don't stop working, you still work, right,
that's a slowdown.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
I think it's comparable because I think he is doing
like meetings and other things, but he's not practicing or if.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
They okay, so it is a slow down. So it's right,
it's a slow down. I think that's all right. There's
the wildcat strike. There's the hunger strike? What other strikes?
Speaker 2 (28:26):
What's the way? I can't remember. What's the wildcat strike?
Speaker 1 (28:29):
That's where workers are like, you're in a union or
something like that, and you don't have consent to strike,
but you do it anyway. You have to vote when
you're in a union, and yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
You go on a hunger strike. I guess you could.
I do?
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Yes, I do, And then I can eat what I
want because I don't eat most of the week.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
And so are you going to load up in Vegas
when we go? Are you gonna it's all all hands
on deck for whatever.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
To be determined? Eddy, No, to be determined. I'm considering it,
but I might have to like go all week without
eating before or you know, or after something like that.
We'll see what happens. Hey, it is the Ben Mahler Show,
and let's have some fun.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
What do you say, maller?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Right? Fun fact? I was watching the Dodgers and the
Higantes at Dodgers Stadium and the Dodgers won that game.
Late the game was started by Blake Snell. Here's the
fun fact. Blake Snell, the Giants are paying him thirty
two million dollars this season, he has made all of
nine starts. The San Francisco Giants have a losing record
(29:32):
in games started by Blake Snell. That is a fun fact.
Is that not fun? I'm smiling from ear to ear.
I'm not playing unless I get mine. Yeah, he gots money,
and Bro, I'm risking my life, bra Yeah. And the
Giants could end up trading him. He's only been there
(29:53):
nine starts, hurting some chat of the trade deadlines coming
up that he could be relocated. Let's go to the
phones and we'll say hello to let's see, let's se
if James is awake, hollowing James. He awake, James, he's away, Gaddy,
he's awake. It's his birthday and he's away. Yeah, we
don't do birthday shoutouts. Hollowing James, so I cannot do
(30:14):
a shout out for you. I think he's I think
he's talking to sleep. He was talking to sleep.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Baby.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
He did say something, he say.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yes, he acknowledged said something. Whoa man, This guy's amazing.
That's a superpower. He should have been able to fly
or stop stop a bullet with his hand or no.
(30:46):
I don't know what to do with that. I would
have gotten angry Bill, but he's like he don't want
to go after hollowing James. So let's say a lit
to my lawyer Bill, formerly in Venice, but Bill's now
in Korea Town in LA. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (30:57):

Speaker 7 (32:09):

your information and then they send you a box and
what's in the box And in the box, Bill would
be the rapid radios. Yeah, shocking concept.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
I was just trying to make the Dodgers in a row.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Okay, so now we're going to the Dodgers. Here we
go the Dodgers. Yes, and now they're teasing us yet again.
The Dodgers have an eight and a half game leading
the Nationalague West, and they starting to pick it up
a little bit here after the All Star break. They
sucked before the All Star break, and so the Dodgers
could end up, you know, they were in striking this
in of the top record in all of baseball and
(33:02):
that would mean home field.
Speaker 7 (33:04):
Throughout the what guests who on Thursday?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh is that Kershaw or Glass? Now they're both coming
back age?
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Well, I gave you two guesses in the first who
don't count?
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Huh the Dodgers. The Dodgers are three and a half
games behind the Fight and fills for the top record
in baseball.
Speaker 7 (33:26):
I'm not talking about the American League. I'm taking about
the National League.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
You think the phild is playing the American League? Okay,
that's news to me. I didn't know that. Maybe they moved.
I didn't realize that.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
Guests, who's got to run from trans this year?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
You are.
Speaker 7 (33:42):
No Montic Klewinsky.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
All right, thank you, Bill, appreciate that. There's our friend.
Bill stayed on hold for that. That's a classic stylings
of Bill. How lucky are we that the first call
he made when he got out of the Gray Bar
Hotel was our show. I haven't had anyone get out
of prison recently. That's called the show. You boys in prison,
(34:17):
Remember when you get out your first phone call to
this show, that's what you call us. You call uncle
Benny and in the team here and you say hello.
That's what you do. So showy Otani. He's a baseball player,
and he took short money from the Dodgers. I may
even very little this this season and he's going to
(34:38):
get most of the money deferred. He can afford to
do that because Otani is now making one hundred million,
almost one hundred million dollars per year from endorsements. His
endorsement salary is around one hundred million dollars. Not to
play baseball, to sell you overpriced crap that you don't need.
(34:59):
That That is so Tommy one hundred million dollars.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Good for him.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Me living on that money. It's like Jay Leno back
in the day. You know, you squirrel away the contract
from NBC and you spend the money you make from endorsements.

is the answer that see? Does anyone know the answer?
We go to the Malard Militia and they always pay
(36:33):
very close attention to the question. Cowboy Killer says, it's
got to be former criminal Martha Stewart, that's the answer.
Who else do we have? Page down? A lot of
reaction to Andrea's phone call. The Burner accounts all over
that late night drug tester says, you are Daniel Ratcliffe,
who is thirty five today. That's from him Sid Bream.
Guess by the art of sports talk, you think twenty
(36:55):
first century baseball, you think Sid Bream. Ferkducks is hollering.
James second favorite radio host, Mike Francessa is the answer.
Robin Vegas going with Dwayne the Rock Johnson is his answer.
Todd Zeal from mister nice guy, ti Oscar Hernandez from
Art Puffin. He's been bawling for the Dodgers, Eddie, do
you have an answer?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Eddy? Adrian Beltra?
Speaker 1 (37:15):
Is it Adrian Beltrey? Now he actually was in the
in the nineties, but it was it was Joe Mauer,
Joe Mawer, the Minnesota Twins.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
It's maller.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
How about that?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
To the third degree, this is one big fan gets great.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Joe Mauer played with the Twins from twenty ozho four
to twenty eighteen, and somehow they put him in the
Hall of Fame when he shouldn't be. All right, well, cool,
look what do we have here? Cool.
Speaker 9 (37:45):
Speaking to reporters over the weekend, John Harbass said that
the vision that he has with Lamar Jackson. Is Jackson
being recognized as the greatest quarterback to play in the
history of the game, Ben, what do you think Jackson's
actual ceiling is on the all time quarterback list?
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Well, the ceiling is the kryptonite and that's the problem here,
and that the greatest stat of all about Lamar Jackson,
the frailties of Lamar Jackson is six six six, the
sign of the devil, which also is the number of
playoff touchdowns, the number of playoff interceptions, and the number
of playoff fumbles. Lamar Jackson has had six, six and
(38:20):
six And at this point his ceiling is Dan Marino,
good regular season guy, not a great playoff player.
Speaker 9 (38:25):
Next, last week you said that Tiger Woods wasn't hurting
his legacy with all of these recent poor performances. Well,
some are saying that Sean Payton could start to ruin
his legacy with more bad seasons in Denver, Ben, is
that true?
Speaker 1 (38:39):
No, because they don't have a quarterback. And they'll say, well, yeah,
as long as he had Drew Brees, he was fine
and all that, and then you have to deal with that.
But now you can't compare Sean Payton to Tiger Woods, Like,
there's a billion coaches better than Sean Payton in the NFL.
He's won a super Bowl, but there's a lot of
guys that won a Super Bowl. I had been playing
the Super Bowl since the sixties. But no, it's it's
(39:00):
an apples and orangees comparison because Tiger is at the
very top. Next.
Speaker 9 (39:04):
Pirates have been one of the hottest teams in baseball
over the past couple of weeks, and it looks like
they may have positioned themselves to be buyers at the deadline. Ben,
do you think the Pirates are capable of making a
Diamondbacks like run.
Speaker 1 (39:14):
Yes, but they're not gonna do any their their owners
a cheap ash. They're not gonna spend any money. The
Pirates have no offense. They're in the bottom tier in
every key offensive category. But if you get in the playoffs,
they have Paul Skins, they have his hot girlfriend. You
know they could they could win some games with him
on the mound. He win two games in every series.
(39:34):
But they're not gonna spend money in ad players. They
do need offense. If they do that, Yeah, how do
we do Coe? You pass this edition? That's a rare
i won the game.
