Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom Shaka Laca, it's our number to our number two.
And Rich Paul Lebron James, agent, longtime business associate and
supposed friend, has gone on the record saying Lebron James
does not does not run the Lakers. That's the quote.
(00:21):
Are you buying? That is the question. Also, Dani Kapatrick
recently opened up on the Sage Steel Show whatever that is,
describing her relationship with NFL legend airon Rogers as emotionally
abusive and saying the breakup was the most painful experience
of her life. What is your reaction to those comments
and how it impacts Aaron Rodgers going forward. Also, Roger
(00:44):
Goodell's out there saying that the next collective bargaining agreement
might have to deal with owner concerns about the cap
system and rising costs. Is this a legitimate problem or
just rich guys complaining yet again, We'll talk about all
that and more. Give it up for our number two
(01:07):
setting the record straight, well their version of the record.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere in kahoots
You and I the Power of Dreams. It's always the
(01:29):
power of dreams absolutely coast to coast, border the border
in beyond on the mast, and wondrously powerful microphones of
fsre ammating live from the cannon as we fire the
cannons of hot takes from the Fox Sports Radio studios
as approved by Slim Tim the Cheesehead. He likes it,
(01:52):
he absolutely does, and you as well as we are
hanging out together here at the tire Rak studios were
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection.
That's right. Convenient installation options approved by fergdog like mobile
(02:14):
tire installation. I see mister nice guy smiling over there,
tire iraq dot com the way tire buying shaw be
so our lead this hour, and we'll get back to
the basketball if you want to talk about that Indiana
twenty point lead second quarter blew the game as they
had tight spinters. Tight took his syndrome there in the
fourth quarter and the lead melted away. And so the
(02:36):
extender gets it done again. He said, oh, it's just
a coincidence. But always Scott Foster almost always Scott Foster
out there again. So our lead this hour, though, is
from the King James version of NBA Conversation. Several of
you reached out to me over the weekends. Did you
see what the quote was? Can you believe that? Oh?
(02:58):
My god? And this is all about Rich Paul, the
Lebron James creation, Rich Paul without Lebron, Rich Paul is
hanging out somewhere in Ohio and has a regular job,
maybe a good union job, but a regular job. And
that's that. But now he's a gazillionaire. And I think
(03:19):
is he married to to the singer and Adele. I
don't know they married. I don't think they're married. They're
just they're just a stupid that's all, all right. So anyway,
Rich Paul commenting on Lebron Lebron James, saying that Lebron James,
according to Rich Paul, Lebron James does not have as
much power as the perception is in basketball world. In
(03:41):
the basketball world there, he does not decide, does not
decide what is going on there. The Laker personnel moves
and all that stuff. In a recent appearance with member
of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association, Rich Eisen, the
NBA agent there claiming Rich Paul claiming that his client
(04:03):
has limited involvement in key front off his decisions. So
I don't if he saw this or not. Maybe you
missed it over the weekend. So Rich Paul saying that
the idea that Lebron James Lebron is the unofficial GM
of the Lakers. He said, that's quote false, that's false,
he said, that's false. So we can slice this up
(04:26):
a million different ways. But let us discuss for a
couple of good minutes here the question for the esteem panel,
what you are part of? So Rich Paul, Lebron's agent,
longtime business associated, business associate, friend, Rich Paul, all of
those things. He's in the inner circle, Rich Paul. He
goes on the record, Rich Paul saying that Lebron James
(04:49):
does not run the Lakers. That's the quote right there.
Are you buying that? Are you buying that? So I've
got fingerprints, unleaded gasoline, and groundwork, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are gonna make
the gobbol. We're gonna make the gabba Gooul is what
(05:10):
we're gonna make, all right, So number I said number. Yeah. Now,
to quote the great Andy Furman, we were born at night,
but not last night. So no, not buying what they're selling.
Not buying it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I know there's a lot of people that live in Suckersville,
the low information fan that will say, well, Rich Paul
said it, and if he said it, it must be true.
He wouldn't have said it if it's not true. So
Rich Paul said it, it's true, and Bauda being Bata
boom just like that. But we're not We're not that. Listen.
Rich Paul is a guy who is as far in
(05:48):
the tank as you could possibly be for Lebron. He
is a creation of Lebron James. He would be nothing
without Lebron. And I get it. You are beholden to Lebron.
You are, and I would be too. I would lick
Lebron's toes if I had the life Rich Paul has,
I would all because of Lebron. Nothing he did. He
just happened to latches, you know what, into Lebron and
(06:10):
there you go. And so I mean, don't kid yourself here,
come on, let's look at this objectively. Lebron may not
have the title General manager of the Lakers. He may
not have that particular title. It's just semantics. It's it's
all semantics. Lebron influences everything, and every man, woman and
(06:31):
child knows it. Everything, coaches, trades, rotations, all of it.
His fingerprints, Lebron's fingerprints are all over every decision that
has made. And it's been that way since he got there,
and he wouldn't have gone there if it hadn't been
that way. And that's just the way it is. Skinny jeans.
(06:52):
Rob Polinka one of the all time great figurehead foe
general managers. I mean, if you were you wouldn't want
Hm running anything. Right. The guy don't know what he's doing.
Everyone knows that. But he's like, well, he's a perfect foil.
He has a pretty la, pretty boy, kind of punchable face,
Rob Polenka. So he's out there as the GM and
(07:13):
he's like, he don't make any decisions. He just runs
it by Lebron. He's a middle manager, Rob Polenka, what
do you think, Lebron? All right, you want that? I
will make that happen, sure. And it's not even about
being swayed, per se. It's not about being swayed. It
is the business model. That is the business model Lebron James,
GM by proxy, GM by proxy, Lebron James. There without it.
(07:39):
They literally hired the coach. The Lakers hired the coach
because the qualifications. The guy was Lebron's podcast buddy A
Rich Paul. No, Lebron's not making decision, dude, they hired
Lebron's podcast co host as the couch. You think we're
(08:00):
all morons? Seriously, you hired the Lakers hired a podcast
guy as the coach because he was doing a podcast Lebron.
If Lebron had been doing a podcast with Joe Rogan,
Joe Rogan would be coaching the Lakers right now. Do
you realize how ridiculous this is? Do you understand how
stupid is anything?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
No, Lebron doesn't really make these decisions. I mean, so
you've got players who have gone on the record say, well,
I wasn't I wouldn't getting a playing time, so I
went I didn't go to the coach. I went to
Lebron to get more playtime. I went to Lebron to
get more play time. Oh my god, But he doesn't
run the Lakers. I doesn't run the Lakers, just like
(08:41):
it's just it's just another quinkid. Like Scott Foster when
he officiates an NBA playoff game where the team is
trailing in a series. You know, ninety percent of the
time that team that's trailing ends up winning. But it's
just a coincidence. It's just weird. It's just one of
those weird things about life. That's it. Now to the
(09:01):
gossip world, you know, I'm a sucker for that world.
So Danica Patrick, we used to play great game on
this show, which lap Will danicarekin Man. Was that a
fun game and we always had winners. We always had winners.
She would wreck ninety five percent of the races.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It was wonderful anyway, So Dannic and Patrick now washed
up former athlete. She recently opened up on the Sage
steel Show It Must to Be a Podcast describing her
relationship with NFL legend Aaron Rodgers. She described it as
quote emotionally abusive. She said the breakup was the most
(09:43):
painful experience of her life. So what is your reaction
to people are bringing this up? So Steelers can't sign
Aaron Rodgers now because this is some baggage and this
is a mess and alls. So this is I would
file this one based on the information I have had.
There's an unnecessary airing of a dirty laundry and a
(10:06):
personal grievance. That's where I have this one file based
on the information that I have. Now, listen, she's obviously
free to speak and do whatever she wants there. But
let's not pretend that there was not alterior motives by
throwing this out here. That there's ulterior motives here by
Danika Patrick, because it does add unleaded gasoline on top
(10:27):
of the inferno is what it does here. And Danic,
she didn't just say that it's painful, she said emotionally abusive,
very dramatic there. Some people think that very seriously right.
I would argue though that most relationships that end there's
some kind of emotional trauma that happens. Otherwise you just
(10:48):
stay together, right, otherwise you just stay together. And she
does this randomly on a podcast years after Rogers was
with Danik. That's a long time ago. That's been many
many years since they were together. So why now maybe
just to clear the air, right, clear the air, or
or to give a little publicity, you know, your little
(11:09):
publicity out there that was really talking about Danic and
Patrick these days he's irrelevant. So and it's just the
latest in a long winding road if you keep track
of the gossip here Rogers, he's had some issues the
public figure Aaron Rodgers in relationships, the family drama, well documented,
(11:33):
drama with former teammates. Check, coaches, check. So the one
common denominator is the drama. That's the one common denominator
of the drama. All right, now, final point to the
business of the NFL. We go, why not as we
slice and dice it on this holiday here, Roger Gooddell Commissioner,
(11:58):
Roger Goodell is out there. He's out and about. He's
a man about town. Roger Goodell saying that the next CBA,
the next collective bargaining agreement, may have to deal with
owners concerns. The owners are upset. The aristocrats, the robber
barons of football are not happy. They're upset with a
(12:20):
salary cap system and rising costs inflation. They don't like it.
They don't like having to pay more and more and
more and more and more and more and more. Costs
are a rising to the moon, to the moon, to
the moon to the moon. So is this a legitimate problem?
(12:41):
Is this a legitimate problem for the very wealthy, very
wealthy oligarchs of the NFL. Or is it just a
bunch of rich guys complaining? All right, just a bunch
of rich guys out there belly aching it's not fair.
Blah blah blah. So the league just brought in. Let
me do the math on this. I think it's twenty billion.
(13:02):
Is that the right number? Twenty billion dollars in revenue.
That seems like a lot. I'm not a business guy,
but that seems like a lot of money. And every
single franchise, the only reason you buy a franchise is
because you're already ridonculously rich, and this is just a toy.
It's a way for people to know who you are.
(13:23):
It is a way for you to get the top
seat at the restaurant. It is a way for you
to be the star of the cocktail party. That's why
you buy an NFL team, and he makes some money
with it. The main point is that you've already been successful,
but now you want everyone. You're you're You're not an introvert.
Introverts don't buy teams because you buy a team to
get attention. You're an extrovert. That's why you would buy
(13:45):
a team. And so that's that's where we are, I mean,
And so the rising costs, let's do some malor math
on this. So every franchise is essentially just a toy
to Fu's around with the values all keep going up.
So that's that's true. And the rising costs was that
the private jets and all the different taxes and whatnot,
(14:09):
and on the third homes and the fourth homes, and
the capital gains tax when you make money on the
stock market, those kind of things go up. Costs rise,
I believe, though the revenues, Unlike most businesses, the NFL
revenues are outpacing the costs. So even though, yeah, the
costs are going up, the revenue is also going up.
And so good luck man. You know what this is. Though,
(14:33):
when you pull this story apart, Roger Goodell complaining and
saying we're gonna have to address the rising costs, the
owners are not happy and all this stuff, what he's
doing is he's laying the groundwork. Goodell is laying the
groundwork to try to squeeze the players again in the
next negotiation, and the weakest of all the gladiators of
(14:54):
football when it comes to this kind of thing. They
get stopped on all the time. And so you're looking
at what we like lockout, you're looking at, you know,
the rollback on certain things that have been given. Those
are the usual threats that are made. And so the
end game, the consensus is this that all this is
being cost out because Godel's gonna say, listen, we gotta
(15:17):
cut costs. However, if you give us that eighteenth game,
will be okay, well, we won't cut any money. Just
give us the eighteenth game and we're good. And that's
just sign off on that. Now. In terms of the
actual negotiation, normally you'd say, okay, if you're claiming that
the costs are going up and you're not making as
(15:38):
much money, open the books. Let's go to the books.
Let's see what the finances are. Let the players see
what you're talking about. And we know that is not happening.
That is never happening, ever, ever, ever, ever, to infinity
and beyond. That is not happening. And the owners have
that sealed up like they used to seal up Alcatraz
(16:00):
back in the day. They're just not gonna happen there
and then and regardless, this is just a again, it's
a shot across the bow, Random shot twenty twenty five.
The negotiation is not gonna happen for a while, but
he's tossing it out there. It's like, I'll throw this
out there randomly, you know, why not see what happens now.
The NFL Players Association will respond and we'll go back
and forth and all that. Anyway, it is the Ben

e Dog, Welcome.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
First, I want to ask you what's your favorite pickup
of all time?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Then I'll play your mind my favorite?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
What pickup line?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You know?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
In the clubs?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh, back in the day, I didn't need to pick
up line. I just walked in there. Women came up
to me, Well, what are you talking about? What's your
pickup line?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
If you had a nice body, would you hold it
against me? Well?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That ever has ever worked? Did that ever work?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And of course how about this one?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
If you go up to a grun you know, do
you have the times she's about to see her watch
and then you say no to talk? And I just
want to say the next to hot there injuring their opponents. Now,
I'm not a big fan of injuring their opponents, but
Boston player got injured and served in Indiana, and he
stepped up for the Otch and they they started playing good
when niece lets you get out of the game, and
(20:43):
I'll have to say that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So you're saying that Aaron Smith, who didn't really do
much in this game, but you never know when he.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Might write to the occasion, like Towns didn't too much
of the game in the fourth quarter where he scored
boys unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Smith came out of nowhere in game one and he's
gone back to nowhere.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
So I see now. Also, you know Charlie the.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Car, which Charlie is Charlie in Wisconsin who's in college,
and then there's Charlie who's in junior high school in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well, I want to say, go Charlie, go Charlie, go
to bed now.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Also about the car, that's a good line.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I like to thanks.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
We also about the court earlier who said new called
in and he said he was an Inana fan because
they lost even the car, and forget about it. The
Knicks are going all the way and I know it, baby, you're.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
A Bulls fan. You're not a Knicks man. You can't
be talking trash like you're a knickman. You're a Bulls fan.
I don't care if you live on Long Island, you're
you're not a Knicks man, You're a Bulls fan.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Well, let me explain something. Okay, what do you got
to say? Is this? I when when I was, when
I was in the suburban news here in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Okay, I thought you were on Long Island. Really, you're
in New Jersey. I didn't really, I thought you.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Well, I was in New Jersey. I played on a
state Chambers of team. But anyway, you know, so when
I was when I was in New Jersey, I got
an interviewed by the suburban News and I said, I
like competition as I took a stroll around to watch
the lacrosse pan. I was good at tennis. By the way,
I once kicked the photographer of the court.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Congratulations, that's a big accomplishment in your life. You're very
proud of. How's Joe Dog doing everything? Okay with Joe Dog?
Joe's Joe Dogs a Knicks fan? Right, Joe Dogs.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Says, I'm life with the party and he and when
I called him, he goes, they want to call it girl.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, you're probably batter than I would have called a woman.
But you're you're going through some issues in your relationships.
I know, every time you call up, you give us details.
There e dog, it's complicated, right, yeah, I know, you know,
some days I like the women.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Some days that'll you know, I like to you know,
browse around, so to speak. Yeah, I'm sober twenty eight years, Ben,
how about that?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Congratulations twenty eight years started when you were born and
now you've been sober your entire life. That's very impressive.
I got you, was it? Am? I the only one
that thinks it's a little weird. By the way, the
guy that won the Indy five hundred was sitting court
side in his uniform. Did I was watching? Did they
want to see that? At the pacer and naked in
his race uniform? Yeah, he had his race uniform and
he had like a helmet. It was very bizarre.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
I didn't realize that that was like, actually, what's that?
I thought it was just some dork fan.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I know that was the guy that won the Indy five.
There you can see we have a don't know if
that makes it worse helmet. The helmet thing kills me though.
That's the part that just kind of like, that's kind
of lame. That's lame, right, Oh, come on, dude, we
know you won the race. You don't have to You
don't have to wear the costume. It's okay, you know,
it's a right. You agree with that. He dog like
(23:48):
you won the Indy five hundred. That's great, But you
don't have to wear like people should know who you are.
You don't. You don't have to wear the universe. It's
like when Patrick Mahomes goes out to dinner with his wife.
He's not wearing his chief's helmet while he's at dinner.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
You know, I mean, I gotta ask lorraina or something,
can't I?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh, I say, dog would like to ask you a
question that you don't have to answer that. If you
don't want to, is your your call? Well, I think
Coop is more irritated by it than I am. I
just it's just feeling stupid. You know, everything he does
is stupid. That's the magic of eat Dog. That's the
beauty of eat Dog. As a caller. You admit that
he dog?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yes, right now, listen, I get a question of me.
You know John McEnroe, right.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Are you asking Loraina that?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yes, I do. I've actually interviewed John macro in the past.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yes, all right, When John McEnroe was in the tournaments.
He argue the call, but I was wondering when he
played tennis as a youngster, you have to make the
cote yourself, and I was wondering how he did that
when he always cheats, when I always, you know, instead
of cheating on the you know, anyway, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, that's a great nineteen eighties tennis question. Is a
really good question. I can't believe that. That's an amazing
thing I saw that I saw over the weekend. John
McEnroe wants to host like a Manning aultcast, which is,
of course why not. It's a check, right, you know,
a nice little check there. All right? Can I go?
(25:18):
Am I done with you? Can I move on? I
feel like I can move on. I'm done with the call,
Thank you, go away? All right? My god. Let's say
this guy Hugh on the five keeps calling back. He
keeps uh, I don't know where he is. The five
goes from the northwest to the very south portion of
the United States. Hello Hugh on the five, Hello Hugh,
all the.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Way in Mexico. I've been on hold so long. My
on dementia has settled in all right.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, I like that you start the call by complaining,
thank you for that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, but you shot me out of it. You know,
you're doing a good job. You know, I've got so
many things that I can talk about. Because you've taken
so many left turns.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It doesn't sound like you're driving, by the.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Way, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I just got off because i've.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Been on what are you in? Are you in Mexico? Now?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I'm in Mexico. So not the border thing. You know,
you guys are talking about, Hey, can you you know
a driver's license on this on this border you can.
You actually can use the driver's license. But I've had
experiences in Canada where that's like estappo over there. You
cannot use the driver's license there. You get the full shakedown.
If you look weird or anything, they gave you a
(26:23):
full shakedown. You better take the passport if you're going
to the Vancouver deal.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Oh so you're saying you're warning people to not attempt
to cross the border. They the mountains will mount you
if you do that.

Okay, that's what they'll do.

You've never had any problem. You're you're you know sometimes.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No, I've got plenty of problems, but I've just dealt
with them.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You know, you just have to cut give them a
little lot of money and they're good.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Sometimes and other times you just do the Jedi my

Now you're just bragging, dude. Now you're just bragging.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
By the way, I'm with you. I'm with you on
that Dodgers thing, by the way. Oh thank you Jesus. Yeah,

I noticed Steve Miller. So that's Steve Miller or Steven Maller.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's Bill Miller. Actually is not Steve Miller's Bill Steve Miller.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You played with Steve Miller.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Oh the rain is the DJ, so she's I doesn't
like music. I don't. I don't have the music. I'm
into talk. I'm into talk radio.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Well you got she's got. You got a good selector there,
So all.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Right, well you'll be safe, enjoy your six hundred and
fifty Mecca Palace. What why why why why why why why? Why?
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
The NBA thing?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
So, do the players get paid extra money the more
games they play in the playoffs? Because I think, my
is that a conspiracy? Just a question?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I don't don't think me se many games are you
getting played? Are you get paid more money.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Than if you like sweeping for No, I don't believe
that's true. I think what you get is you the
TV revenue is the model is if it's four games,
you're not gonna make as much if you they want
the sweet spot is six or seven games. They can
make more in advertising. So that's what they're looking for.
But as far as the players, I don't think they're
you know, they don't really get they get bonuses for winning,
(30:20):
per se, but that it's not as I understand it,
they're not getting, you know, per game checks and all that.
All right, enjoy your your home there, Hugh, who's already
made it back to Mexico and complained at the first
part of that came moving to Mexico. I might have
to go there too. Man, Hey, Art Bell did the
did the show from perumpt Nevada. I could do the
show from Tijuana.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Right, I don't see why not?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Ben the hell? Uh, let's say hello to Mojoe Rising
is in the bay, Hello, Mojoe Rison, how you guys?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Saying, Man, I've been hanging around, but I haven't able
to get in man because work, and I work early
morning and I listen all night. But half the time
I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, well so do we we? Even during the show
sometimes I'll fall asleep by really boring monologue. Or blind
Scott phone call and I just start falling asleep. I'm
asleep right now.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
That was a lovely Lorena. She's always amazing in place.
Just like the last caller said, you know, played some
interesting music and you know, six fifty for rent. Wow,
I like to trade that for my two thousand dollars
rent here out in Casser Valley, California.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, you have a little more money to play with
if your rent six fifty a month.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Huh yeah, you kidd and man cheese.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
So we're still reeling over here from you know, the
Warriors and exit in the second round with the disappearance
of Jimmy Buckets. I don't know what happened to him,
but you know, when Batman goes out, you know you're
you're supposed to take over since you have this reputation
of mister Jimmy Bucket. Isn't that where he got his name? Found?
Was Jimmy Bucket?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
No playoff Jimmy. It's playoff Jimmy, Baby, playoff Jimmy and
playoff Jimmy didn't have it, did not have the hop
in his step, And that was a real.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Dud for the Yeah, it surely was.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
But I don't really think we're I mean, Minnesota, you know,
came back last night. But I still say Oklahoma City's
gonna go to the finals. And I don't think we
would have much of a chance against them anyway, So
you know, what are you gonna do? But hey, I
makes you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
All right, Well thank you. There you go, the great
Mojoe Rising. He's gonna go on his phone right now,
try to find a place in Mexico you can move
to and get that great, great run. Can I expand
on that last callers question, Mojo Rising or the previous caller?
The previous caller you are?
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah, I thought it was an interesting question about how
the players get paid in the playoffs. I looked it
up real quick and and and you are you are right. Basically, so,
players on the NBA playoff teams will divvy up thirty
four point seven million dollars this season, with each team
receiving a chunk based on how far their teams go.
(33:04):
And it's also based on your regular season record. So
if you had the best record in the NBA, the
team shares eight hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars. And
then if that team makes it and wins the finals.
So let's say the Thunder win the finals, then they
split eight million, eight hundred thousand between the whatever the
(33:26):
fifteen player roster I think.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Or yeah, whatever the rod but yeah, so I mean
the TV advertising because it's a TV show, and so
the TV show needs six they need six or seven games.
Like four is not enough, Five's definitely, you know, five's better,
but not acceptable. They want six or seven games for
advertising purposes. Otherwise they have to do the dreaded make
(33:50):
good where they have to because they promise a certain
audience to the people that advertise, and if they don't
give them that audience, then they have to give them freebies.
And nobody in media wants to give out freebies. They
do not want to give out freebies. God know. Now
it's not just a Big league ballpark turning the page.
The Athletics the team that is so embarrassed they play
in Sacramento. They won't admit to being in Sacramento. It's
(34:12):
the most ridiculous thing that Major League Baseball that Weasley
commissioner Rob Manford allowed this, They signed off on it.
It's embarrassed. You're in Sacramento for several years before you
move to Vegas. Take pride in where you are, you losers. Anyway,
the Athletic players who started out all excited, they were
very positive about playing in their little minor league ballpark
(34:33):
in Sacramento. The tide has turned. The tide has turned.
An Athletics starting pitcher and a longtime Yankee, Luis Severino,
said flatley the Sacramento stadium, he said, is quote, this
is just not a big league ballpark. Now. The players
have all gained up with various complaints. The main complaint,
(34:55):
you're gonna love this you hear about this. The main
complaint for the athletic players is the home clubhouse is
in the outfield. So in order for the players to
get out to the outfield, they to the clubhouse. Like
during the games, they usually sneak back in there, you know.
But the famous stories of the like the Red Sox
back in the day at Finway having the fried chicken
(35:18):
and the video games and the beer and all that
during games, well, the Athletics like, everyone's gonna know you're
going to the clubhouse because it's out in the outfield,
the home clubhouse, and so it has disrupted their routine.
They've complained about that and they say it's not not good.
Lawrence Butler, an outfielder for the A's, he said, it's
(35:38):
it's not a big league stadium, which is not at
the minor league stadium. And earlier, of course, they were like, oh,
the energy is great, the fans are wonderful. But now
we're heading into late May here the last week in May,
and they are complaining. They're not happy. We got mallardly
third degree. That's up ahead time. Now for the inch
to tribune and here we go to ace Taik Scooble
(36:02):
becoming the first picture with a shutout throwing thirteen or
more strikeouts and no walks since blank again Tigers as

Jenkins Cowboys cousin from Doncy Sausage. What say you have
a right out of my favorite players, Randy Johnson. No,
the answer is Jacob Degarm Jacob de back to the
New York Metropolitans.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Here we go, Here we go, third degree.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
This is one big fan gets grall gool so.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
But I know they recently voted on changing the NFL
playoff structure to straight seating so that bad division winners
don't get a home team home game, and they voted
against him. But college football has adopted s trade seating
for the twenty twenty five playoffs. If this works out
in college do you think it would nudge the NFL
to go in the same direction.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Ummm No, it's an overreaction to college football because they
did it. It's a small sample size. One year, and
they did it because the favorites went ten and one.
The only upset in the college football Playoff was when
Penn State and Notre Dame got together and Notre Name
beat Penn State. That's why they did it. But the
NFL does their own thing. I don't think they're gonna
copy college football on this regard.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Next, since the release of the NFL schedule, the most
popular bet has been Patriots over eight and a half wins.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Are you on board with that? Well, if you look
at the schedule, the Patriots are supposed to be better
and they play some terrible teams like Tennessee and New Orleans.
You look at the non conference schedule, non division schedule,
yes they should. If they don't win nine games, Rabel's
done a terrible job.
Speaker 6 (39:36):
Next, so let's revisit the Karl Anthony Towns Julius Randall trade.
Is your opinion of who won the trade any different
now than it was when it was originally made?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Well, and not after what I saw in the fourth
quarter coup of Game three where Carl Anthony town has
put up twenty points. Listen, it's an even trade with
a lean to the Knicks because Carl Anthony Towns. Even
though he's an enigma, he's a more talented enigma than
Julius and those guy's own demons. How did we do?
You passed?
Speaker 2 (40:02):
That? Is?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
I went, I wanted protein for everyone. Protein. Thank you,
all right? I appreciate it. Her she's clapping
Boom Shaka Laca, it's our number to our number two.
And Rich Paul Lebron James, agent, longtime business associate and
supposed friend, has gone on the record saying Lebron James
does not does not run the Lakers. That's the quote.
(00:21):
Are you buying? That is the question. Also, Dani Kapatrick
recently opened up on the Sage Steel Show whatever that is,
describing her relationship with NFL legend airon Rogers as emotionally
abusive and saying the breakup was the most painful experience
of her life. What is your reaction to those comments
and how it impacts Aaron Rodgers going forward. Also, Roger
(00:44):
Goodell's out there saying that the next collective bargaining agreement
might have to deal with owner concerns about the cap
system and rising costs. Is this a legitimate problem or
just rich guys complaining yet again, We'll talk about all
that and more. Give it up for our number two
(01:07):
setting the record straight, well their version of the record.
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Mahlor Show. We are in the air everywhere in kahoots
You and I the Power of Dreams. It's always the
(01:29):
power of dreams absolutely coast to coast, border the border
in beyond on the mast, and wondrously powerful microphones of
fsre ammating live from the cannon as we fire the
cannons of hot takes from the Fox Sports Radio studios
as approved by Slim Tim the Cheesehead. He likes it,
(01:52):
he absolutely does, and you as well as we are
hanging out together here at the tire Rak studios were
over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find
the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection.
That's right. Convenient installation options approved by fergdog like mobile
(02:14):
tire installation. I see mister nice guy smiling over there,
tire iraq dot com the way tire buying shaw be
so our lead this hour, and we'll get back to
the basketball if you want to talk about that Indiana
twenty point lead second quarter blew the game as they
had tight spinters. Tight took his syndrome there in the
fourth quarter and the lead melted away. And so the
(02:36):
extender gets it done again. He said, oh, it's just
a coincidence. But always Scott Foster almost always Scott Foster
out there again. So our lead this hour, though, is
from the King James version of NBA Conversation. Several of
you reached out to me over the weekends. Did you
see what the quote was? Can you believe that? Oh?
(02:58):
My god? And this is all about Rich Paul, the
Lebron James creation, Rich Paul without Lebron, Rich Paul is
hanging out somewhere in Ohio and has a regular job,
maybe a good union job, but a regular job. And
that's that. But now he's a gazillionaire. And I think
(03:19):
is he married to to the singer and Adele. I
don't know they married. I don't think they're married. They're
just they're just a stupid that's all, all right. So anyway,
Rich Paul commenting on Lebron Lebron James, saying that Lebron James,
according to Rich Paul, Lebron James does not have as
much power as the perception is in basketball world. In
(03:41):
the basketball world there, he does not decide, does not
decide what is going on there. The Laker personnel moves
and all that stuff. In a recent appearance with member
of the Fox Sports Radio Alumni Association, Rich Eisen, the
NBA agent there claiming Rich Paul claiming that his client
(04:03):
has limited involvement in key front off his decisions. So
I don't if he saw this or not. Maybe you
missed it over the weekend. So Rich Paul saying that
the idea that Lebron James Lebron is the unofficial GM
of the Lakers. He said, that's quote false, that's false,
he said, that's false. So we can slice this up
(04:26):
a million different ways. But let us discuss for a
couple of good minutes here the question for the esteem panel,
what you are part of? So Rich Paul, Lebron's agent,
longtime business associated, business associate, friend, Rich Paul, all of
those things. He's in the inner circle, Rich Paul. He
goes on the record, Rich Paul saying that Lebron James
(04:49):
does not run the Lakers. That's the quote right there.
Are you buying that? Are you buying that? So I've
got fingerprints, unleaded gasoline, and groundwork, and we will combine
all of these things together, and we are gonna make
the gobbol. We're gonna make the gabba Gooul is what
(05:10):
we're gonna make, all right, So number I said number. Yeah. Now,
to quote the great Andy Furman, we were born at night,
but not last night. So no, not buying what they're selling.
Not buying it.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I know there's a lot of people that live in Suckersville,
the low information fan that will say, well, Rich Paul
said it, and if he said it, it must be true.
He wouldn't have said it if it's not true. So
Rich Paul said it, it's true, and Bauda being Bata
boom just like that. But we're not We're not that. Listen.
Rich Paul is a guy who is as far in
(05:48):
the tank as you could possibly be for Lebron. He
is a creation of Lebron James. He would be nothing
without Lebron. And I get it. You are beholden to Lebron.
You are, and I would be too. I would lick
Lebron's toes if I had the life Rich Paul has,
I would all because of Lebron. Nothing he did. He
just happened to latches, you know what, into Lebron and
(06:10):
there you go. And so I mean, don't kid yourself here,
come on, let's look at this objectively. Lebron may not
have the title General manager of the Lakers. He may
not have that particular title. It's just semantics. It's it's
all semantics. Lebron influences everything, and every man, woman and
(06:31):
child knows it. Everything, coaches, trades, rotations, all of it.
His fingerprints, Lebron's fingerprints are all over every decision that
has made. And it's been that way since he got there,
and he wouldn't have gone there if it hadn't been
that way. And that's just the way it is. Skinny jeans.
(06:52):
Rob Polinka one of the all time great figurehead foe
general managers. I mean, if you were you wouldn't want
Hm running anything. Right. The guy don't know what he's doing.
Everyone knows that. But he's like, well, he's a perfect foil.
He has a pretty la, pretty boy, kind of punchable face,
Rob Polenka. So he's out there as the GM and
(07:13):
he's like, he don't make any decisions. He just runs
it by Lebron. He's a middle manager, Rob Polenka, what
do you think, Lebron? All right, you want that? I
will make that happen, sure. And it's not even about
being swayed, per se. It's not about being swayed. It
is the business model. That is the business model Lebron James,
GM by proxy, GM by proxy, Lebron James. There without it.
(07:39):
They literally hired the coach. The Lakers hired the coach
because the qualifications. The guy was Lebron's podcast buddy A
Rich Paul. No, Lebron's not making decision, dude, they hired
Lebron's podcast co host as the couch. You think we're
(08:00):
all morons? Seriously, you hired the Lakers hired a podcast
guy as the coach because he was doing a podcast Lebron.
If Lebron had been doing a podcast with Joe Rogan,
Joe Rogan would be coaching the Lakers right now. Do
you realize how ridiculous this is? Do you understand how
stupid is anything?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
No, Lebron doesn't really make these decisions. I mean, so
you've got players who have gone on the record say, well,
I wasn't I wouldn't getting a playing time, so I
went I didn't go to the coach. I went to
Lebron to get more playtime. I went to Lebron to
get more play time. Oh my god, But he doesn't
run the Lakers. I doesn't run the Lakers, just like
(08:41):
it's just it's just another quinkid. Like Scott Foster when
he officiates an NBA playoff game where the team is
trailing in a series. You know, ninety percent of the
time that team that's trailing ends up winning. But it's
just a coincidence. It's just weird. It's just one of
those weird things about life. That's it. Now to the
(09:01):
gossip world, you know, I'm a sucker for that world.
So Danica Patrick, we used to play great game on
this show, which lap Will danicarekin Man. Was that a
fun game and we always had winners. We always had winners.
She would wreck ninety five percent of the races.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
It was wonderful anyway, So Dannic and Patrick now washed
up former athlete. She recently opened up on the Sage
steel Show It Must to Be a Podcast describing her
relationship with NFL legend Aaron Rodgers. She described it as
quote emotionally abusive. She said the breakup was the most
(09:43):
painful experience of her life. So what is your reaction
to people are bringing this up? So Steelers can't sign
Aaron Rodgers now because this is some baggage and this
is a mess and alls. So this is I would
file this one based on the information I have had.
There's an unnecessary airing of a dirty laundry and a
(10:06):
personal grievance. That's where I have this one file based
on the information that I have. Now, listen, she's obviously
free to speak and do whatever she wants there. But
let's not pretend that there was not alterior motives by
throwing this out here. That there's ulterior motives here by
Danika Patrick, because it does add unleaded gasoline on top
(10:27):
of the inferno is what it does here. And Danic,
she didn't just say that it's painful, she said emotionally abusive,
very dramatic there. Some people think that very seriously right.
I would argue though that most relationships that end there's
some kind of emotional trauma that happens. Otherwise you just
(10:48):
stay together, right, otherwise you just stay together. And she
does this randomly on a podcast years after Rogers was
with Danik. That's a long time ago. That's been many
many years since they were together. So why now maybe
just to clear the air, right, clear the air, or
or to give a little publicity, you know, your little
(11:09):
publicity out there that was really talking about Danic and
Patrick these days he's irrelevant. So and it's just the
latest in a long winding road if you keep track
of the gossip here Rogers, he's had some issues the
public figure Aaron Rodgers in relationships, the family drama, well documented,
(11:33):
drama with former teammates. Check, coaches, check. So the one
common denominator is the drama. That's the one common denominator
of the drama. All right, now, final point to the
business of the NFL. We go, why not as we
slice and dice it on this holiday here, Roger Gooddell Commissioner,
(11:58):
Roger Goodell is out there. He's out and about. He's
a man about town. Roger Goodell saying that the next CBA,
the next collective bargaining agreement, may have to deal with
owners concerns. The owners are upset. The aristocrats, the robber
barons of football are not happy. They're upset with a
(12:20):
salary cap system and rising costs inflation. They don't like it.
They don't like having to pay more and more and
more and more and more and more and more. Costs
are a rising to the moon, to the moon, to
the moon to the moon. So is this a legitimate problem?
(12:41):
Is this a legitimate problem for the very wealthy, very
wealthy oligarchs of the NFL. Or is it just a
bunch of rich guys complaining? All right, just a bunch
of rich guys out there belly aching it's not fair.
Blah blah blah. So the league just brought in. Let
me do the math on this. I think it's twenty billion.
(13:02):
Is that the right number? Twenty billion dollars in revenue.
That seems like a lot. I'm not a business guy,
but that seems like a lot of money. And every
single franchise, the only reason you buy a franchise is
because you're already ridonculously rich, and this is just a toy.
It's a way for people to know who you are.
(13:23):
It is a way for you to get the top
seat at the restaurant. It is a way for you
to be the star of the cocktail party. That's why
you buy an NFL team, and he makes some money
with it. The main point is that you've already been successful,
but now you want everyone. You're you're You're not an introvert.
Introverts don't buy teams because you buy a team to
get attention. You're an extrovert. That's why you would buy
(13:45):
a team. And so that's that's where we are, I mean,
And so the rising costs, let's do some malor math
on this. So every franchise is essentially just a toy
to Fu's around with the values all keep going up.
So that's that's true. And the rising costs was that
the private jets and all the different taxes and whatnot,
(14:09):
and on the third homes and the fourth homes, and
the capital gains tax when you make money on the
stock market, those kind of things go up. Costs rise,
I believe, though the revenues, Unlike most businesses, the NFL
revenues are outpacing the costs. So even though, yeah, the
costs are going up, the revenue is also going up.
And so good luck man. You know what this is. Though,
(14:33):
when you pull this story apart, Roger Goodell complaining and
saying we're gonna have to address the rising costs, the
owners are not happy and all this stuff, what he's
doing is he's laying the groundwork. Goodell is laying the
groundwork to try to squeeze the players again in the
next negotiation, and the weakest of all the gladiators of
(14:54):
football when it comes to this kind of thing. They
get stopped on all the time. And so you're looking
at what we like lockout, you're looking at, you know,
the rollback on certain things that have been given. Those
are the usual threats that are made. And so the
end game, the consensus is this that all this is
being cost out because Godel's gonna say, listen, we gotta
(15:17):
cut costs. However, if you give us that eighteenth game,
will be okay, well, we won't cut any money. Just
give us the eighteenth game and we're good. And that's
just sign off on that. Now. In terms of the
actual negotiation, normally you'd say, okay, if you're claiming that
the costs are going up and you're not making as
(15:38):
much money, open the books. Let's go to the books.
Let's see what the finances are. Let the players see
what you're talking about. And we know that is not happening.
That is never happening, ever, ever, ever, ever, to infinity
and beyond. That is not happening. And the owners have
that sealed up like they used to seal up Alcatraz
(16:00):
back in the day. They're just not gonna happen there
and then and regardless, this is just a again, it's
a shot across the bow, Random shot twenty twenty five.
The negotiation is not gonna happen for a while, but
he's tossing it out there. It's like, I'll throw this
out there randomly, you know, why not see what happens now.
The NFL Players Association will respond and we'll go back
and forth and all that. Anyway, it is the Ben

Speaker 4 (19:50):
First, I want to ask you what's your favorite pickup
of all time?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Then I'll play your mind my favorite?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
What pickup line?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
You know?
Speaker 4 (19:58):
In the clubs?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Oh, back in the day, I didn't need to pick
up line. I just walked in there. Women came up
to me, Well, what are you talking about? What's your
pickup line?
Speaker 4 (20:07):
If you had a nice body, would you hold it
against me? Well?
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That ever has ever worked? Did that ever work?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
And of course how about this one?
Speaker 4 (20:22):
If you go up to a grun you know, do
you have the times she's about to see her watch
and then you say no to talk? And I just
want to say the next to hot there injuring their opponents. Now,
I'm not a big fan of injuring their opponents, but
Boston player got injured and served in Indiana, and he
stepped up for the Otch and they they started playing good
when niece lets you get out of the game, and
(20:43):
I'll have to say that.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
So you're saying that Aaron Smith, who didn't really do
much in this game, but you never know when he.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Might write to the occasion, like Towns didn't too much
of the game in the fourth quarter where he scored
boys unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Smith came out of nowhere in game one and he's
gone back to nowhere.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
So I see now. Also, you know Charlie the.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Car, which Charlie is Charlie in Wisconsin who's in college,
and then there's Charlie who's in junior high school in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Well, I want to say, go Charlie, go Charlie, go
to bed now.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Also about the car, that's a good line.
Speaker 5 (21:23):
I like to thanks.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
We also about the court earlier who said new called
in and he said he was an Inana fan because
they lost even the car, and forget about it. The
Knicks are going all the way and I know it, baby, you're.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
A Bulls fan. You're not a Knicks man. You can't
be talking trash like you're a knickman. You're a Bulls fan.
I don't care if you live on Long Island, you're
you're not a Knicks man, You're a Bulls fan.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
Well, let me explain something. Okay, what do you got
to say? Is this? I when when I was, when
I was in the suburban news here in New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Okay, I thought you were on Long Island. Really, you're
in New Jersey. I didn't really, I thought you.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Well, I was in New Jersey. I played on a
state Chambers of team. But anyway, you know, so when
I was when I was in New Jersey, I got
an interviewed by the suburban News and I said, I
like competition as I took a stroll around to watch
the lacrosse pan. I was good at tennis. By the way,
I once kicked the photographer of the court.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Congratulations, that's a big accomplishment in your life. You're very
proud of. How's Joe Dog doing everything? Okay with Joe Dog?
Joe's Joe Dogs a Knicks fan? Right, Joe Dogs.
Speaker 4 (22:30):
Says, I'm life with the party and he and when
I called him, he goes, they want to call it girl.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
Yeah, you're probably batter than I would have called a woman.
But you're you're going through some issues in your relationships.
I know, every time you call up, you give us details.
There e dog, it's complicated, right, yeah, I know, you know,
some days I like the women.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Some days that'll you know, I like to you know,
browse around, so to speak. Yeah, I'm sober twenty eight years, Ben,
how about that?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Congratulations twenty eight years started when you were born and
now you've been sober your entire life. That's very impressive.
I got you, was it? Am? I the only one
that thinks it's a little weird. By the way, the
guy that won the Indy five hundred was sitting court
side in his uniform. Did I was watching? Did they
want to see that? At the pacer and naked in
his race uniform? Yeah, he had his race uniform and
he had like a helmet. It was very bizarre.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
I didn't realize that that was like, actually, what's that?
I thought it was just some dork fan.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I know that was the guy that won the Indy five.
There you can see we have a don't know if
that makes it worse helmet. The helmet thing kills me though.
That's the part that just kind of like, that's kind
of lame. That's lame, right, Oh, come on, dude, we
know you won the race. You don't have to You
don't have to wear the costume. It's okay, you know,
it's a right. You agree with that. He dog like
(23:48):
you won the Indy five hundred. That's great, But you
don't have to wear like people should know who you are.
You don't. You don't have to wear the universe. It's
like when Patrick Mahomes goes out to dinner with his wife.
He's not wearing his chief's helmet while he's at dinner.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
You know, I mean, I gotta ask lorraina or something,
can't I?
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Oh, I say, dog would like to ask you a
question that you don't have to answer that. If you
don't want to, is your your call? Well, I think
Coop is more irritated by it than I am. I
just it's just feeling stupid. You know, everything he does
is stupid. That's the magic of eat Dog. That's the
beauty of eat Dog. As a caller. You admit that
he dog?
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Yes, right now, listen, I get a question of me.
You know John McEnroe, right.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Are you asking Loraina that?
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yes, I do. I've actually interviewed John macro in the past.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yes, all right, When John McEnroe was in the tournaments.
He argue the call, but I was wondering when he
played tennis as a youngster, you have to make the
cote yourself, and I was wondering how he did that
when he always cheats, when I always, you know, instead
of cheating on the you know, anyway, you know what
I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, that's a great nineteen eighties tennis question. Is a
really good question. I can't believe that. That's an amazing
thing I saw that I saw over the weekend. John
McEnroe wants to host like a Manning aultcast, which is,
of course why not. It's a check, right, you know,
a nice little check there. All right? Can I go?
(25:18):
Am I done with you? Can I move on? I
feel like I can move on. I'm done with the call,
Thank you, go away? All right? My god. Let's say
this guy Hugh on the five keeps calling back. He
keeps uh, I don't know where he is. The five
goes from the northwest to the very south portion of
the United States. Hello Hugh on the five, Hello Hugh,
all the.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Way in Mexico. I've been on hold so long. My
on dementia has settled in all right.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, I like that you start the call by complaining,
thank you for that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Yeah, but you shot me out of it. You know,
you're doing a good job. You know, I've got so
many things that I can talk about. Because you've taken
so many left turns.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It doesn't sound like you're driving, by the.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Way, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I just got off because i've.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Been on what are you in? Are you in Mexico? Now?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I'm in Mexico. So not the border thing. You know,
you guys are talking about, Hey, can you you know
a driver's license on this on this border you can.
You actually can use the driver's license. But I've had
experiences in Canada where that's like estappo over there. You
cannot use the driver's license there. You get the full shakedown.
If you look weird or anything, they gave you a
(26:23):
full shakedown. You better take the passport if you're going
to the Vancouver deal.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Oh so you're saying you're warning people to not attempt
to cross the border. They the mountains will mount you
if you do that.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, they'll mount you and they'll use the horse cock.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Okay, that's what they'll do.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Sure you have I'm sure you have anything?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Hello? What are you doing in Mexico? Are you? Are
you a drug mual? What are you doing in Mexico? Please?

tomorrow is a holiday. I got a three day weekend
coming up. Bro.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Nice look at you? And what's the rent? I I
think during the pandemic this became a big thing. A
lot of people save money live in San Diego. I
don't know about La, but they've just moved to like Tijuana,
and they can work real fingers.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Whing is on the pulse. Your finger is on the pulse.
The rank brand new house that I live in called
six hundred and fifty dollars a month.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Lorena, I'm moving the Viva Maico. Come on, Lorena, beautiful
beaches there, Come on? Can I just do my job

not safe, so it's not. Are you concerned every time
you go to your house that you might get like
robbed or something like they know where you live and
you're you're.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Now you're acting now see if your finger was on
the pull, So now you're acting like you're just reading
the papers. No, of course not.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
You don't are You're not concerned at all? Okay?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
You've never had any problem. You're you're you know sometimes.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
No, I've got plenty of problems, but I've just dealt
with them.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You know, you just have to cut give them a
little lot of money and they're good.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Sometimes and other times you just do the Jedi my
trick and you know I speak Spanish and you know
I kind of know the drill and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Got right. So you're again, new house, six hundred dollars
six fifty a months. Oh my good, unbelievable. Great and yeah,
great Mexican food.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
And all that's private beach and it comes back.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
Now.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Now you're just bragging, dude. Now you're just bragging.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
By the way, I'm with you. I'm with you on
that Dodgers thing, by the way. Oh thank you Jesus. Yeah,
it's it's it's I'm totally with you on that. Also,
I noticed Steve Miller. So that's Steve Miller or Steven Maller.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
It's Bill Miller. Actually is not Steve Miller's Bill Steve Miller.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You played with Steve Miller.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Oh the rain is the DJ, so she's I doesn't

Speaker 2 (29:29):
Well you got she's got. You got a good selector there,
So all.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Right, well you'll be safe, enjoy your six hundred and
fifty Mecca Palace. What why why why why why why why? Why?
Speaker 5 (29:40):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
The NBA thing?
Speaker 2 (29:42):
So, do the players get paid extra money the more
games they play in the playoffs? Because I think, my
is that a conspiracy? Just a question?
Speaker 1 (29:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (29:54):
I don't don't think me se many games are you
getting played? Are you get paid more money.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
Than if you like sweeping for No, I don't believe
that's true. I think what you get is you the
TV revenue is the model is if it's four games,
you're not gonna make as much if you they want
the sweet spot is six or seven games. They can
make more in advertising. So that's what they're looking for.
But as far as the players, I don't think they're
you know, they don't really get they get bonuses for winning,
(30:20):
per se, but that it's not as I understand it,
they're not getting, you know, per game checks and all that.
All right, enjoy your your home there, Hugh, who's already
made it back to Mexico and complained at the first
part of that came moving to Mexico. I might have
to go there too. Man, Hey, Art Bell did the
did the show from perumpt Nevada. I could do the
show from Tijuana.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Right, I don't see why not?
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Ben the hell? Uh, let's say hello to Mojoe Rising
is in the bay, Hello, Mojoe Rison, how you guys?
Speaker 5 (30:55):
Saying, Man, I've been hanging around, but I haven't able
to get in man because work, and I work early
morning and I listen all night. But half the time
I fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, well so do we we? Even during the show
sometimes I'll fall asleep by really boring monologue. Or blind
Scott phone call and I just start falling asleep. I'm
asleep right now.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
That was a lovely Lorena. She's always amazing in place.
Just like the last caller said, you know, played some
interesting music and you know, six fifty for rent. Wow,
I like to trade that for my two thousand dollars
rent here out in Casser Valley, California.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, you have a little more money to play with
if your rent six fifty a month.
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Huh yeah, you kidd and man cheese.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
So we're still reeling over here from you know, the
Warriors and exit in the second round with the disappearance
of Jimmy Buckets. I don't know what happened to him,
but you know, when Batman goes out, you know you're
you're supposed to take over since you have this reputation
of mister Jimmy Bucket. Isn't that where he got his name? Found?
Was Jimmy Bucket?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
No playoff Jimmy. It's playoff Jimmy, Baby, playoff Jimmy and
playoff Jimmy didn't have it, did not have the hop
in his step, And that was a real.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Dud for the Yeah, it surely was.
Speaker 5 (32:11):
But I don't really think we're I mean, Minnesota, you know,
came back last night. But I still say Oklahoma City's
gonna go to the finals. And I don't think we
would have much of a chance against them anyway, So
you know, what are you gonna do? But hey, I
makes you guys.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
All right, Well thank you. There you go, the great
Mojoe Rising. He's gonna go on his phone right now,
try to find a place in Mexico you can move
to and get that great, great run. Can I expand
on that last callers question, Mojo Rising or the previous caller?
The previous caller you are?
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Yeah, I thought it was an interesting question about how
the players get paid in the playoffs. I looked it
up real quick and and and you are you are right. Basically, so,
players on the NBA playoff teams will divvy up thirty
four point seven million dollars this season, with each team
receiving a chunk based on how far their teams go.
(33:04):
And it's also based on your regular season record. So
if you had the best record in the NBA, the
team shares eight hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars. And
then if that team makes it and wins the finals.
So let's say the Thunder win the finals, then they
split eight million, eight hundred thousand between the whatever the
(33:26):
fifteen player roster I think.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Or yeah, whatever the rod but yeah, so I mean
the TV advertising because it's a TV show, and so
the TV show needs six they need six or seven games.
Like four is not enough, Five's definitely, you know, five's better,
but not acceptable. They want six or seven games for
advertising purposes. Otherwise they have to do the dreaded make
(33:50):
good where they have to because they promise a certain
audience to the people that advertise, and if they don't
give them that audience, then they have to give them freebies.
And nobody in media wants to give out freebies. They
do not want to give out freebies. God know. Now
it's not just a Big league ballpark turning the page.
The Athletics the team that is so embarrassed they play
in Sacramento. They won't admit to being in Sacramento. It's
(34:12):
the most ridiculous thing that Major League Baseball that Weasley
commissioner Rob Manford allowed this, They signed off on it.
It's embarrassed. You're in Sacramento for several years before you
move to Vegas. Take pride in where you are, you losers. Anyway,
the Athletic players who started out all excited, they were
very positive about playing in their little minor league ballpark
(34:33):
in Sacramento. The tide has turned. The tide has turned.
An Athletics starting pitcher and a longtime Yankee, Luis Severino,
said flatley the Sacramento stadium, he said, is quote, this
is just not a big league ballpark. Now. The players
have all gained up with various complaints. The main complaint,
(34:55):
you're gonna love this you hear about this. The main
complaint for the athletic players is the home clubhouse is
in the outfield. So in order for the players to
get out to the outfield, they to the clubhouse. Like
during the games, they usually sneak back in there, you know.
But the famous stories of the like the Red Sox
back in the day at Finway having the fried chicken
(35:18):
and the video games and the beer and all that
during games, well, the Athletics like, everyone's gonna know you're
going to the clubhouse because it's out in the outfield,
the home clubhouse, and so it has disrupted their routine.
They've complained about that and they say it's not not good.
Lawrence Butler, an outfielder for the A's, he said, it's
(35:38):
it's not a big league stadium, which is not at
the minor league stadium. And earlier, of course, they were like, oh,
the energy is great, the fans are wonderful. But now
we're heading into late May here the last week in May,
and they are complaining. They're not happy. We got mallardly
third degree. That's up ahead time. Now for the inch
to tribune and here we go to ace Taik Scooble
(36:02):
becoming the first picture with a shutout throwing thirteen or
more strikeouts and no walks since blank again Tigers as
Tarik Schooble became the first picture with a shutout throwing
thirteen plus strikeouts and no walks since blank. That is
the Insta trivia the answer. We'll get to it. We'll
(36:22):
do it next.

it is. We'll play it off right now. So go
to baseball Tigers as Tarik Scuable becoming the first pitcher

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Here we go, Here we go, third degree.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
This is one big fan gets grall gool so.
Speaker 6 (38:33):
But I know they recently voted on changing the NFL
playoff structure to straight seating so that bad division winners
don't get a home team home game, and they voted
against him. But college football has adopted s trade seating
for the twenty twenty five playoffs. If this works out
in college do you think it would nudge the NFL
to go in the same direction.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Ummm No, it's an overreaction to college football because they
did it. It's a small sample size. One year, and
they did it because the favorites went ten and one.
The only upset in the college football Playoff was when
Penn State and Notre Dame got together and Notre Name
beat Penn State. That's why they did it. But the
NFL does their own thing. I don't think they're gonna
copy college football on this regard.
Speaker 6 (39:13):
Next, since the release of the NFL schedule, the most
popular bet has been Patriots over eight and a half wins.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Are you on board with that? Well, if you look
at the schedule, the Patriots are supposed to be better
and they play some terrible teams like Tennessee and New Orleans.
You look at the non conference schedule, non division schedule,
yes they should. If they don't win nine games, Rabel's
done a terrible job.
Speaker 6 (39:36):
Next, so let's revisit the Karl Anthony Towns Julius Randall trade.
Is your opinion of who won the trade any different
now than it was when it was originally made?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Well, and not after what I saw in the fourth
quarter coup of Game three where Carl Anthony town has
put up twenty points. Listen, it's an even trade with
a lean to the Knicks because Carl Anthony Towns. Even
though he's an enigma, he's a more talented enigma than
Julius and those guy's own demons. How did we do?
You passed?
Speaker 2 (40:02):
That? Is?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
I went, I wanted protein for everyone. Protein. Thank you,
all right? I appreciate it. Her she's clapping
