Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our num Bert to our two
ready to go, and it's pro bouncy Ball on the menu.
Hear an hour number two of the original Recipe podcast
Where Are You At? On Klay Thompson looking to leave
Golden State for a quote fresh start. Also, is there
(00:22):
a match between Paul George by George and the Knickerbockers
and Chris Paul, said to be hell bent on playing
for the Clippers or Lakers in twenty twenty four, wants
to be back in LA should either of those teams
want him. We'll talk about that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now. Say hello to my
(00:42):
little friend our number two. Splash time is over. Welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show,
we are in the air preware shoulder to shoulder as
(01:04):
we take a back seat coast duck, coast, border, the border,
and beyond all the mast in sizeably powerful microphones of
fsre ammunating live from the moles, we play our favorite game,
the audio version of Whack Them All. We're broadcasting live
(01:26):
Tirac dot com Studios Tyraq dot com will help you
get there and unmatched selection fast free shipping, free road
hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. We send
out ten thousand well wishes to our friend Calligan Tim
in Michigan ti raq dot com. The way tire buying
(01:47):
should should be. Don't bear the lead, mo man h.
We're not gonna bear the lead, So I lead this hour.
We'll get back to our roots. The silly season of
pro bouncy ball and a wonderful gift. What a wonderful
gift it is to those of us that do guest baggery.
The silly season, the gift that keeps giving, often more entertaining,
(02:08):
more engaging then the regular season of the product. So
radio chatter picking up out of the Bay Area over
the weekend. If you have not been following the big
name at least from years gone by, not based on
recent performance, could be yours. If the price is right,
(02:29):
and we're talking about the growing chatter, always pay attention
to the chatter, the growing chatter that Clay Thompson it
is a FATA complete that he's going to leave Golden State.
He wants a fresh start. According to the latest reporting here,
even if the Warriors were to make a competitive offer,
(02:49):
he wants to go somewhere else. Many believe that Thompson
will decide to leave regardless. He wants to go somewhere
else and start the next chapter of his career and
a different environment, detached from the shadow of Steph Curry,
his teammates there, and apparently some friction behind the scenes
(03:13):
between him and some of his teammates and the front
office of the Golden State Warriors. So let us discuss
the question where are you at on Klay Thompson looking
to leave Golden State for a fresh start. So I've
got refrigerator, affirmations and astrology, and we will combine all
(03:35):
of these things together and watch out for the checkered
flag flag us up. So number one, this is Captain obvious,
Captain obvious. Why is this being tossed out there into
the heavens as some kind of new revelation?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Why right?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I don't get it. I don't If you haven't been
paying attention, breaking up is hard to do. They made
a song about it. So, as we have seen with
Klay Thompson cleansing his social media from Warrior content in
recent days, that is an act of hostility. That is
(04:21):
an active hostility, is a passive, aggressive, active hostility. He
did it. Now that said, in this particular case, we
go on a case by case basis, it's rather easy
for Klay Thompson to exit the Bay Area in one respect.
Now what is that respect you ask? I will answer.
The reality is the Warriors have not even made an
(04:44):
offer to Klay Thompson to contemplate whether or not he
wants to stay. So there is no there there for
him to come back and stay with Golden State. And
if you look at the Warriors, that is a team
on the way down. Thompson has a shot, even though
he appears to be on his last legs of cherry
(05:05):
picking a good situation, a team that is a mid
level team that's on the way up, and he can
squeeze out some more success here. But in terms of
Golden State, and if that reporting is accurate, that there
is no offer available for Klay Thompson to even come back,
even if you wanted to on a minimum type salary.
(05:29):
That would mean the refrigerator, the refrigerator door has closed,
the lights out, the eggs are cooling, and as an
old broadcaster said many years ago, the butter's getting hard
and the jello's jiggling. All of those things are happening.
All of that is happening because talks are essentially frozen
with free agency less than ten days away. Oh mg,
less than ten days away. So exciting, unless it's not so.
(05:52):
Clay has been traveling on the interstate for a few
weeks now, and it's a one way interstate. It's not
two ways. One way destination unknown. And you hop in
that transfer portal and see where it takes. You wish
for the best, You wish for the best. All right now,
(06:12):
page two? Here we head to Gotham. Why after the
noise at the end of last week, we talked about
it on these airways that Philadelphia was cooling on PG thirteen.
They said, no, we cannot handle PG thirteen. We want
a g rated movie. We don't want PG thirteen, We
just want PG. So now we are hearing that the
(06:33):
Knickerbockers are a team to watch, team to I love
team to watch. How about a team to listen to,
team to stare at, team to ogel anyway, the Knicks
are said to be a team to keep an eye
on for Paul George by George. Now, the way that
would work, it would have to be a sign in
(06:54):
trade with the people's team, the Clippers. All of this,
of course, dependent on Pg. Thirteen opting in to the
final year of his contract. You mentioned even contemplating opting
out of a forty eight and a half million dollar salary.
That's the money forty eight actually forty eight point eight million.
(07:15):
Excuse me, I was off. It's even more than I thought.
Forty eight point eight million is the amount of money
on the table for Paul George one year after taxes
in California. That's about thirty thousand dollars you can live on.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Is there a match? Get to the point, please? Is
there a match between Paul George and the Knickerbockers. So
there is a match, but it's not a good one.
It's not a good one because in terms of what
the Knicks are trying to accomplish, Paul George is the
antithesis of Jalen Brunson. Like Jalen Brunson, big game player
(07:52):
plays well, guy rises to the to the moment. Paul
George occasionally he does. But I have this one in
the daily positive affirmations category for Paul George and the
people around him. You plant the story, you send it
out to your friends, the useful idiots in the media
(08:15):
from Paul George's camp. You toss it out, speak it,
you have them speak it, and you're trying to help
manifest your desires. And it sounds to me like Paul
George and the people around him the podcast pe guys
are desperately trying to create a bidding war out of
(08:36):
thin air. They used Philadelphia for a long time that
appears to have not worked out, and now you've got
the Knicks. And while the Clippers, I would certainly they
are open to signing and trading Paul George, they're not
married to George coming back. Well, could come back, but
it's not like they have to bring him back. It's
not imperative that they bring Paul George back, and they
can replace him with someone like the Marta Rosen or
(08:58):
someone like that, which is pretty much a lateral move
at this particular point. But Paul George, if he plays
in New York, mark my words, he will be fed
to the wolves. This will not go well. He is
lacking the Jenni si Quah to handle playing there, and
someone that often sweats a lot when the pressure gets going.
(09:22):
He does not have good deodorant. There's a lot of
sweat that goes on there. He gets it dinged up
and just man, that is not not going.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
To be well.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But I'd be here for it. From a talk radio standpoint,
it'd be great. And I have some some of my
cousins who are from New York that like the Knicks,
and I can bust their balls, So that would be
fun for me. And Jason Smith, who I see when
I when I'm coming here during the week, I can
you know he'd be all excited and be like, just wait,
you just wait, you just wait all right now? Final point,
(09:51):
speaking of washed up players, the theme continues. The epitome
of that would be Chris Paul. It seems like Chris
Paul has a flee up his backside here. He would
like to play for either the Clippers where have we've
seen that? Or the Lakers in twenty twenty four? Question
(10:13):
is should either of those teams want Chris Paul? All right? So,
if the question is should they want him, which I
just said, the answer is no way, Jose, and don't
call me Jose. Now, if the question is will they
want him, the answers yes. See the key word there
(10:35):
should or will see should no, Because Chris Paul this
particular point, you stay away, right, that's just it. You
stay away. Why would you go there? It's simple astrology.
If you look at the career arc of Chris Paul,
it's just the way it goes. Chris Paul in astrology
is a white dwarf. That is a science term, a
(10:57):
white dwarf that is a hot danse remnants of a
long dead star. They call it a white dwarf. That
is Chris Paul. That's where his career is at this
particular point. He's still hanging around and he's got to
get out of his contract where he's right now. So
it's not guaranteed that he'll even be available to go
to LA. But the motivation is also a problem. The
(11:20):
word is you know, you want living was his home
base in LA. He liked when he played with the Clippers,
he got to hang out with a lot of the
Hollywood f's and he likes to hang out with those people,
and so he wants to go back there. His family
likes it. They don't want to live somewhere else. And
so CP three, the stellar core of Chris Paul left behind.
That's that's what's left behind there, the exhaust of the
(11:42):
star and all that, the gases and whatnot, And that's
where you are. He's a d O n E d
O n E, which means, of course, knowing my luck,
he'll sign with the Clippers. I'd much rather see him
with the Lakers. Boy could that's fun to not only
a higher podcast podcaster Reddick, but then you bring in
Chris Paul. That would be oh man, that would be
(12:04):
so good for the Lakers. They got to make that happen.
I mean, listen, why not? And you could how about this?
You could have CP three, Reddick and Lebron all do
the podcast together, the three Musketeers of podcasting. Who says
no to that? It is the Ben Mahler Show speak
easy rules are an effect. But do you want to
talk about any of this? You are more than welcome

You are the missing jigsaw puzzle piece to unlock the
Ben Mahler showed a new Compatriots n l I from
the Tyraq dot com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
It's Ben Maler and internet viral star getting someone in
sports in trouble indirectly. We'll explain what that's all about
as we begin a new here this hour. If you
saw the hat of the night here, Eddie, this is
the one of you. I know you don't listen to
the podcast. This is the contraband hat celebrating the twenty
(14:32):
seventeen Dodgers World Series championship.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I noticed it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yes, this is the hat that they were going to
be wearing having won the World Series because we know
the a holes cheated the Astros.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
How'd you get that? I didn't listen to the podcast.
How'd you get that?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well, you know, you gotta know people.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
He got it from a twenty five cent been at goodwill?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, obviously no, usually send those over to Africa.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, these were not released. They're not allowed to be
released because they they they played a game seven. They
had the hats ready to go and.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
He stole one from a starving child.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
No, no, you just got took years. I've been trying
to get this for some time, and we put.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It together and here that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Actually my favorite World Series Championship, the twenty seventeen World Series.
That's a nice hat which our friend the bus drivers
still paying off. Right, the ticket I believe bought a
ticket to go to the World Series. The team was
cheating the other team. The asked one.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, we we've been talking about this and people can
laugh if they want, but you know, if the Chargers
are to make a Super Bowl appearance here in the
fairly recent times, how were we going to pay for
that to get missus Garcia to the game. So money's
being set aside in case.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Really happens, Is that right?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I shut up?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Coop.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Well you could there's two ways to do that, right.
You could either do that or you could go like
Chief a Hollock and just rob some banks on your
way to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
How that work out for him?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, he worked out well for a while, you know,
and then things went a little sideways a little bit. Yeah,
the super Bowl next year is in New Orleans, so
you could drive from LA to New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You could do that. I don't think we're anticipating next year.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
No, what maybe down the road. Who knows well how
mahomes is howled? So you figure, well, Brady got hurt
one year, so Mahomes will probably get hurt one year
and miss miss a chunk of time, right, is not
usually what happens. Remember Brady got taken out was it
week one or week two by that defender for Kansas City?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, and then we had the Brady rule, changed the
rule for because of that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, And they always overreact to those kind of things. Anyway,
it is the Ben Masher. Let's go to the phones.
We'll take some calls here.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
But did the rain to tell you that she got recognized?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
No? Bye bye?
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Who by a listener out in the wild?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Really?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Way?
Speaker 6 (16:56):
Oh, I know, it sounds crazy. They randomly sat next
to me at the when I was in Santa Monica,
and yeah, we talked about this mural of beautiful naked
women on the wall and he's like he's sitting next
to his wife and he's like, so, what are you doing?
I was like, Oh, I work in radio. He's like, no,
what what do you work on I'm like, oh, I'm
on Fox Sports. He's like are you are you?
Speaker 5 (17:17):

Speaker 1 (17:18):
He was like, what's your name?
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I was like Lorena, and he's like yes, He's like,
I hear you on there. And then he talked about
all of you lovely hosts for like an hour, an hour,
an hour, and his wife was like Google search and everything.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
She's like, oh my.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Gosh, that's you.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I've worked in radio for I don't know, thirty five years.
I don't think that's ever happened to me before.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
You should talk to more people. Oh wow from the
from Lorena.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, I've met listeners for sure, but not like
a random chance just in the wild. Yeah, no, no, no,
it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
What's happened to me a few times, but not very often.
I don't I don't enjoy what happened with you at
the rental car. Yeah, at Merle Beach. There was a
guy in Myrtle Beach that's listened to the show. But
it's odd. I even got a photo with them.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Oh okay, yep. His wife's okay.
Speaker 6 (18:08):
With that, yeah, And she followed me on Twitter.
Speaker 5 (18:10):
And I followed. My wife is also in the photo.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yes, Oh, okay, she is.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Did you post this on.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
I posted on my Instagram?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Okay, I have to check your I'm shocked.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
You don't follow my Instagram?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Bet I do. I just don't. I'm not on it.
I post stuff. I don't really go on there.
Speaker 7 (18:23):
I'm so active, are you?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm not. I posted photos of this hat I'm wearing.
You know, if you want to see that on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We were looking at it now. We don't need to
go look at it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But the people you could see, you're stalking me. If
you can look at that right now what I'm what
I'm wearing and the videos will be up on the Yeah,
I'm a YouTuber, you know that, Lorena. We have our
own YouTube channel. I didn't know this. Where can I
find it out?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Bet?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, I don't know, but it's on there. I don't know.
There's always cameras on me. I don't even know what
the YouTube channel is, but it's it's for I guess
the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel. And then they have
sub channels and this show has a channel. Isn't that
how it works?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
I just know it's at Fox Sports Radio Official.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I just know. Like once a month, something I say
goes viral and then it gets a lot of hits,
like maybe once a month that happens, and then we
have everyone. In a while, we had an international incident
with Argentina where I ripped Manu Ginobili and we had
people cursing my name in Spanish and they're very upset
with me. And so, yeah, you sounded like that, sounded
(19:31):
like that Instagram page Ben Maller on Fox the Facebook
page Ben Mahlor Show. If you want to be part
of the program that way, Yafem says, it's official a
hockey guy. Official hockey guy of the show is Ben.
That's what he says. Late Night drug tester says that
(19:53):
time of the year, NBA teams need to listen to
Chicken Little and Ben Mallard. The sky is falling and
don't let a falling star fall on you. Yeah, all right,
let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
tiger Man, who's in Utah but his heart is in
(20:14):
Baton Rouge. Hello Tigerman.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Hey Ben, Uh, you know this is a this is
kind of a pickle for me.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
You know, I'm a Royal fan and a proud member
of the militia.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
But oh, you said, but that means everything you said
before the word but is a lie? Go ahead, Well here.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Here's the pickle. Like, I want to support Eddie and
a Alf the legend. Ellie and o'piner and I are
both on the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Uh so I think we Alf is on the Florida Panthers.
Is that right? Alf is my number one fan next
to ferk Dog. Alf is turning against you.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You know who else is on the Panthers?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Uncle Moe, Uncle Mo?
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Well that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
There is no Uncle Moe. It does not exist, Eddie.
I don't even Uncle Mo's fake is an Uncle Mo
from Brooklyn? Is an AI generated caller. I'm convinced Uncle
Moe is not a real human being.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
That's bizarre. But okay, well yeah, so.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Then here I want to go with Eddie, but I.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Don't do it, dot not if you want more a man,
don't do it. I'm not. I'm just saying, Eddie, there's
a dimension where you might not get as much airtime.
There's a dimension, maybe not my dimension, but there's a dimension.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
You know, Eddie, I gave you a gift with Paul Skins.
You haven't mentioned him tonight at all. Uh you know
when you do the updates and then you have two
fever NFL teams.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I mean, all right, hold on.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You said what you said you want, Paul Skeins, Is
that what you want?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Here we go. I got a I got a fun fact.
You want a fun fact?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
All right? History of baseball, most strikeouts in the pitcher's
first eight career games modern era of baseball since nineteen hundred. Now,
the all time record is seventy seven by herbs Score.
But Paul Skeens of the Petsburg Pirates, if you looked
at the game on Sunday, he had eight strikeouts in
seventy so he's got sixty one. So in the history
(22:21):
of baseball, the only pitchers ahead of Paul Skeens, former
LSU pitcher now the Pittsburgh Pirates are Nolan Ryan, Masihiro Tanaka,
Steven Strasburg, carry Wood, Jose de Leone, and Herb Score.
That's it in the history of baseball, first eight career games.
And now I ask you, Tiger Man, who are you
picking in Game seven on a Monday night in the NHL.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
I'm sorry, I'm a big fan of yours. But I'm on.
I guess I'm on with that.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, look at that. Come on, he's tiger Man. He's
got a we with the Panthers. It's all in the
cat family.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
The Rainer will not allow me to have my fun See,
I pressed the button here and then she would, she'd
fade it down. We don't fade that down. That's me
celebrating the demise of that guy. Oh bam, what I
don't know what that was?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That a Southern accent. You were a rain of funny.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You were at a bar in Santa Monica's have you said?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
You don't live anywhere near Santama? What were you doing
in Santa Monica?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
It was the anniversary of my mom's eighteen years of passing,
so it's kind of I take a rose out there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
And I spend the day. Oh look at that's very
Look at you. Yeah, sweet wonderful. Now you made me
feel terrible. You made me feel Thank you. I appreciate
kicking the ship just like he just poked me in
the eye right there with that, I thank you very much. Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
So back to golf. An eventful weekend at the Travelers.
You got a couple of people that got hospitalized over
a lightning strike at the event. And so we're coming
down to an eighteenth hold, right. I just mentioned Scottie
Scheffer and Tom kim Or getting ready to decide this event.
And then what happened. The protesters came out. The protesters
came out. Six protesters ran around on the eighteenth hole.
(24:20):
Environmental protesters, whack of doodles, wack of doodles. They were
wearing shirts that said no golf on a dead planet.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Plan very much alive, Eddie. I don't know what you're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
But police were able to quickly remove them, and you know.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Make a couple of things. First of all, I'm going
to talk more about this coming up later. I will
mention this in a mall of monologue number two. My position,
if you interfere with my life, whether it's my enjoyment
of live, me getting to work here in LA occasionally
they'll close the freeways. Oh, people will stand across the
highway and you won't be able to go anywhere, and
it'll create gridlock. So whatever your cause is I pull
(25:01):
for the other side. If you affect my life, and
even if I support your cause leading up to that,
if you ruin my life or affect my life in
a negative way and cost me time. The most valuable
asset we all have is time. We don't know how
much we have. We can't get more of it when
it's gone. It's the most valuable thing in the world.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Time.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
And so if you mess with my time, I wish
you nothing but worse, nothing but the worst. I will
curse you. So I hope that we build more coal
factories Atty, and I hope that we ruin the environment
and put feces like they do in Parie in the
water there, just to screw with those people. Okay, that's
what I hope. I saw funny. Speaking of that, I
(25:39):
saw a funny I saw a funny thing the other day.
But remember about fifteen years ago, there were all these
stories about the honeybee was going to die. We have
no honey remember that.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I do remember something about that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
The total bull crap. But they raised money. They raised
a bunch of money about the death of the more
honey bees now than the word then it worked. Then, Yeah,
that's what they always say. That's always how the scam works, right, Well,
so we hadn't said something anyway. It is the Ben
Malord Show. As we continue on, so the virals, I
should be giving the fun factor fun? Why not? All right?
(26:14):
This one goes out to Eddie who disrespects my Edmonton Orthers.
Is it true that Connor McDavid, of the Oilers who
are going to hoist the cup up as winners on
Monday Night, Connor McDavid is more assists this Stanley Cup
series than any Panther even has points that that is
(26:35):
how dominant Connor McGregor is that he has more assist
than any fors Coon McGregor, Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid has
more assists this Stanley Cup. All those Connors are all
those Connors are the same, clearly, but Connor McDavid more
assists this Stanley Cup than any Florida Panthers. More evidence
(26:56):
of how dominant the Oilers have been in this series,
just go to the phones. Terry is in Colorado. Hello, Terry, welcome, Well, hello, hello,
interesting talking with you. You know something would I like
to see is.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
The Demra Nuggets last year in the playoffs this year's
Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And the playoffs. I love to see that. Well, you
could have seen that if the Nuggets hadn't gagged against Minnesota,
so you had your chance you had Yes, they did it. Yes,
so you should You should be upset. You should be
upset with Nicole Yokich. Is who you should be upset? No,
(27:43):
I don't think so. Yes, you should with him.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
I'm not upset with him. I'm not upset with uh.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
You know their number T player.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Is a very random call. By the way, It's a
very random call for you to make. Why are you
making this call? Very random of you to make this call.
What is this call about? Why are you calling me?
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Because I'm saying I would have liked to see that.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You know, Okay, there's a lot of things I would
have liked to have seen. I would have liked to
see the a holes who cheat in the twenty seventeen
World Series be punished and the championship removed, and the
Dodgers the right victors given the champions whatever you want,
say they earned it because they didn't cheat like the
a holes. I'd like to see that. What's that, well
you said? I'd like to see so I'm giving you
(28:26):
up my big board of things I'd like to see
that didn't happen. I'd like to see Kawhi Leonard stay healthy.
That's what I would have liked to have seen, but
he hasn't. So it's a thing I would like to see,
but it hasn't happened. So the viral Internet star, what's
(28:46):
an on call? I know, like, why would you call me?
I mean, who's what I'd like to have seen? Okay, anyway,
So the viral So we mentioned this last hour. This woman,
we don't know who she is yet, she'll maybe she'll
stay hidden, I don't know, probably not. Somebody knows who
she is went viral over the last week. The Hawk
too woman, just google it Hawctoi. No, we call Hawk Tour.
(29:12):
That's too talkue about low. Yeah. Anyway, so she went viral,
and somebody in NASCAR has been put in the principal's office.
A NASCAR team removing their social media manager because of
a meme celebrating the young lady there the Hawk Tour
(29:37):
meme and having a field day with that. JD Motorsports.
Now Eddie's also a NASCAR guy. He knows that's the
Exfinity Series NASCAR, and they run the four and six
car various drivers, and they tossed out a meme of
(29:58):
this current situation and then it says rained out and
then they had a photo of the young lady there
with the track behind it and pretty harmless, pretty benign,
kind of funny. And the social media manager who put
this out there apparently got in a whole bunch of
(30:19):
trouble removed from the account because of the meme, which
seems rather odd because unless I'm wrong, NASCAR stock car
racing in the United States originated with bootlegging. So these
are bootleggers. During Prohibition, the drivers would they would run
(30:41):
bootleg whiskey made in Appalachia and they'd drive it around
the United States, right, and they distribute their products and
they used small fast vehicles to avoid the cops because
booze was ill during prohibition, thus prohibition. And so that's
(31:02):
the origins of NASCAR is bootlegging. And now here we
are in twenty twenty four and NASCAR people getting in trouble.
This is accurate here because of memes. Okay, that's where
we are. It reminds me back in the old days,
those good old boys used to call up and say, say,
NASCAR's gone corporate. They're gone once they put they put
(31:24):
races in California and in non traditional southern destinations. That
this was inevitable that NASCAR sold out and they went corporate.
And that seems a little much though, even if you're corporate,
that seems a little little much, a little much. Yeah,
all right, what else do we have here? Art Puffin
(31:45):
says he's praising tiger Man that got used to call
the show it is a way to stick to your guns. Well,
no more fun facts about LSU. That's it, right there,
no more fun facts. It's all over. It's all over.
Ferg Duck says, I refuse to believe Alf is rooting
for America's team. Go oilers, he says, and Alf says,
(32:06):
don't believe what you hear. Fake news, fake news. So
he says, yeah, absolutely correct. Just a follow up to
the Paris story we talked about this last hour. So
they had a protest event for the water. Actually we're
(32:26):
trying to prove that the water was safe to swim in.
People were protesting, but some politicians were supposed to some
French officials were going to swim to prove that the
send water was good, but they chose not to. And
I mentioned this in passing, but I read this on
(32:47):
the internet that swimming in that river in Perie has
been illegal for more than one hundred years because of
the pollution and the city rather old. They have old
pipes that connect to the city sewers and they often
get overwhelmed when it rains a lot, and as a result,
the sewage enters into the river when it rains hard
(33:09):
and it creates massive pollution and bacteria. And they've been
spending a ton of money, in fact, they claimed the
French government has spent in preparation for the games. They've
spent over a billion dollars to try to clean it up,
and they tested it recently and it's still filled with bacteria.
(33:31):
So it's a it's a hot mess there. I just
love the fact that in my head they had all
these people lined up and to swim, and then they're like, well, no,
it's not we don't want to get sick, and we're
not gonna do it. And the official said in a
news conference on Friday that the sin is still too
(33:52):
polluted to swim. It can't do it, and the Olympics
are coming up or we're in late June. The Olympics
are going to be here before you know what. It
is the bay N Mahlor's Show. As we continue on

Speaker 7 (37:05):
A recent report from the Athletics says that offseason activity
suggests that the Jets are planning to get rid of
GM Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Solid next offseason. Ben,
do you think these guys are both sitting ducks?
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, depending on Aaron Rodgers. They put all their chips
in Aaron Rodgers Rogers. After this year, the Jets stink
and Rogers gets hurt Sally will be a motivational speaker,
Joe Douglas will go back to the Eagles or somewhere else,
and Aaron Rodgers will do a podcast with Joe Rogan.
They're all gone. Next.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Bryce Harper and Shoe Otani are the two front runners
for the NL MVP. Now, if either were to win
the award, they would only be the twelfth players ever
to win MVP three times. Are you putting your money
on either of them?
Speaker 1 (37:45):
I'm not giving it to old Tani because the Dodgers
are a wagon and he's a designated here you can't
get an MVP is a DH Come on, Bryce Harper,
at least plays the field next.
Speaker 7 (37:55):
I was reported over the weekend that Trevor Bauer could
bring legal action against MLB if he reman out of
the league. How do you think that would go over?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Well, it wouldn't matter. He can't win. That's a lawsuit.
You can't win. What is his legal standing it would
go I'd like to see him pitching the big leagues,
but you you can't win that case. How do we do?
Kop phail? That's a win. That is a win. Like
the Edmonton Oilers are going to win Game seven on
Monday night,
Hello and welcome. It's our num Bert to our two
ready to go, and it's pro bouncy Ball on the menu.
Hear an hour number two of the original Recipe podcast
Where Are You At? On Klay Thompson looking to leave
Golden State for a quote fresh start. Also, is there
(00:22):
a match between Paul George by George and the Knickerbockers
and Chris Paul, said to be hell bent on playing
for the Clippers or Lakers in twenty twenty four, wants
to be back in LA should either of those teams
want him. We'll talk about that as well. All of
it's coming your way right now. Say hello to my
(00:42):
little friend our number two. Splash time is over. Welcome.
In the beginning of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show,
we are in the air preware shoulder to shoulder as
(01:04):
we take a back seat coast duck, coast, border, the border,
and beyond all the mast in sizeably powerful microphones of

(01:47):

We're not gonna bear the lead, So I lead this hour.
We'll get back to our roots. The silly season of
pro bouncy ball and a wonderful gift. What a wonderful
gift it is to those of us that do guest baggery.
The silly season, the gift that keeps giving, often more entertaining,
(02:08):
more engaging then the regular season of the product. So
radio chatter picking up out of the Bay Area over
the weekend. If you have not been following the big
name at least from years gone by, not based on
recent performance, could be yours. If the price is right,
(02:29):
and we're talking about the growing chatter, always pay attention
to the chatter, the growing chatter that Clay Thompson it
is a FATA complete that he's going to leave Golden State.
He wants a fresh start. According to the latest reporting here,
even if the Warriors were to make a competitive offer,
(02:49):
he wants to go somewhere else. Many believe that Thompson
will decide to leave regardless. He wants to go somewhere
else and start the next chapter of his career and
a different environment, detached from the shadow of Steph Curry,
his teammates there, and apparently some friction behind the scenes
(03:13):
between him and some of his teammates and the front
office of the Golden State Warriors. So let us discuss
the question where are you at on Klay Thompson looking
to leave Golden State for a fresh start. So I've
got refrigerator, affirmations and astrology, and we will combine all
(03:35):
of these things together and watch out for the checkered
flag flag us up. So number one, this is Captain obvious,
Captain obvious. Why is this being tossed out there into
the heavens as some kind of new revelation?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Why right?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I don't get it. I don't If you haven't been
paying attention, breaking up is hard to do. They made
a song about it. So, as we have seen with
Klay Thompson cleansing his social media from Warrior content in
recent days, that is an act of hostility. That is
(04:21):
an active hostility, is a passive, aggressive, active hostility. He
did it. Now that said, in this particular case, we
go on a case by case basis, it's rather easy
for Klay Thompson to exit the Bay Area in one respect.
Now what is that respect you ask? I will answer.
The reality is the Warriors have not even made an
(04:44):
offer to Klay Thompson to contemplate whether or not he
wants to stay. So there is no there there for
him to come back and stay with Golden State. And
if you look at the Warriors, that is a team
on the way down. Thompson has a shot, even though
he appears to be on his last legs of cherry
(05:05):
picking a good situation, a team that is a mid
level team that's on the way up, and he can
squeeze out some more success here. But in terms of
Golden State, and if that reporting is accurate, that there
is no offer available for Klay Thompson to even come back,
even if you wanted to on a minimum type salary.
(05:29):
That would mean the refrigerator, the refrigerator door has closed,
the lights out, the eggs are cooling, and as an
old broadcaster said many years ago, the butter's getting hard
and the jello's jiggling. All of those things are happening.
All of that is happening because talks are essentially frozen
with free agency less than ten days away. Oh mg,
less than ten days away. So exciting, unless it's not so.
(05:52):
Clay has been traveling on the interstate for a few
weeks now, and it's a one way interstate. It's not
two ways. One way destination unknown. And you hop in
that transfer portal and see where it takes. You wish
for the best, You wish for the best. All right now,
(06:12):
page two? Here we head to Gotham. Why after the
noise at the end of last week, we talked about
it on these airways that Philadelphia was cooling on PG thirteen.
They said, no, we cannot handle PG thirteen. We want
a g rated movie. We don't want PG thirteen, We
just want PG. So now we are hearing that the
(06:33):
Knickerbockers are a team to watch, team to I love
team to watch. How about a team to listen to,
team to stare at, team to ogel anyway, the Knicks
are said to be a team to keep an eye
on for Paul George by George. Now, the way that
would work, it would have to be a sign in
(06:54):
trade with the people's team, the Clippers. All of this,
of course, dependent on Pg. Thirteen opting in to the
final year of his contract. You mentioned even contemplating opting
out of a forty eight and a half million dollar salary.
That's the money forty eight actually forty eight point eight million.
(07:15):
Excuse me, I was off. It's even more than I thought.
Forty eight point eight million is the amount of money
on the table for Paul George one year after taxes
in California. That's about thirty thousand dollars you can live on.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
That.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Is there a match? Get to the point, please? Is
there a match between Paul George and the Knickerbockers. So
there is a match, but it's not a good one.
It's not a good one because in terms of what
the Knicks are trying to accomplish, Paul George is the
antithesis of Jalen Brunson. Like Jalen Brunson, big game player
(07:52):
plays well, guy rises to the to the moment. Paul
George occasionally he does. But I have this one in
the daily positive affirmations category for Paul George and the
people around him. You plant the story, you send it
out to your friends, the useful idiots in the media
(08:15):
from Paul George's camp. You toss it out, speak it,
you have them speak it, and you're trying to help
manifest your desires. And it sounds to me like Paul
George and the people around him the podcast pe guys
are desperately trying to create a bidding war out of
(08:36):
thin air. They used Philadelphia for a long time that
appears to have not worked out, and now you've got
the Knicks. And while the Clippers, I would certainly they
are open to signing and trading Paul George, they're not
married to George coming back. Well, could come back, but
it's not like they have to bring him back. It's
not imperative that they bring Paul George back, and they
can replace him with someone like the Marta Rosen or
(08:58):
someone like that, which is pretty much a lateral move
at this particular point. But Paul George, if he plays
in New York, mark my words, he will be fed
to the wolves. This will not go well. He is
lacking the Jenni si Quah to handle playing there, and
someone that often sweats a lot when the pressure gets going.
(09:22):
He does not have good deodorant. There's a lot of
sweat that goes on there. He gets it dinged up
and just man, that is not not going.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
To be well.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But I'd be here for it. From a talk radio standpoint,
it'd be great. And I have some some of my
cousins who are from New York that like the Knicks,
and I can bust their balls, So that would be
fun for me. And Jason Smith, who I see when
I when I'm coming here during the week, I can
you know he'd be all excited and be like, just wait,
you just wait, you just wait all right now? Final point,
(09:51):
speaking of washed up players, the theme continues. The epitome
of that would be Chris Paul. It seems like Chris
Paul has a flee up his backside here. He would
like to play for either the Clippers where have we've
seen that? Or the Lakers in twenty twenty four? Question
(10:13):
is should either of those teams want Chris Paul? All right? So,
if the question is should they want him, which I
just said, the answer is no way, Jose, and don't
call me Jose. Now, if the question is will they
want him, the answers yes. See the key word there
(10:35):
should or will see should no, Because Chris Paul this
particular point, you stay away, right, that's just it. You
stay away. Why would you go there? It's simple astrology.
If you look at the career arc of Chris Paul,
it's just the way it goes. Chris Paul in astrology
is a white dwarf. That is a science term, a
(10:57):
white dwarf that is a hot danse remnants of a
long dead star. They call it a white dwarf. That
is Chris Paul. That's where his career is at this
particular point. He's still hanging around and he's got to
get out of his contract where he's right now. So
it's not guaranteed that he'll even be available to go
to LA. But the motivation is also a problem. The
(11:20):
word is you know, you want living was his home
base in LA. He liked when he played with the Clippers,
he got to hang out with a lot of the
Hollywood f's and he likes to hang out with those people,
and so he wants to go back there. His family
likes it. They don't want to live somewhere else. And
so CP three, the stellar core of Chris Paul left behind.
That's that's what's left behind there, the exhaust of the
(11:42):
star and all that, the gases and whatnot, And that's
where you are. He's a d O n E d
O n E, which means, of course, knowing my luck,
he'll sign with the Clippers. I'd much rather see him
with the Lakers. Boy could that's fun to not only
a higher podcast podcaster Reddick, but then you bring in
Chris Paul. That would be oh man, that would be
(12:04):
so good for the Lakers. They got to make that happen.
I mean, listen, why not? And you could how about this?
You could have CP three, Reddick and Lebron all do
the podcast together, the three Musketeers of podcasting. Who says
no to that? It is the Ben Mahler Show speak
easy rules are an effect. But do you want to
talk about any of this? You are more than welcome

Speaker 1 (14:10):
It's Ben Maler and internet viral star getting someone in
sports in trouble indirectly. We'll explain what that's all about
as we begin a new here this hour. If you
saw the hat of the night here, Eddie, this is
the one of you. I know you don't listen to
the podcast. This is the contraband hat celebrating the twenty
(14:32):
seventeen Dodgers World Series championship.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
I noticed it.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yes, this is the hat that they were going to
be wearing having won the World Series because we know
the a holes cheated the Astros.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
How'd you get that? I didn't listen to the podcast.
How'd you get that?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Well, you know, you gotta know people.
Speaker 5 (14:50):
He got it from a twenty five cent been at goodwill?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
No, obviously no, usually send those over to Africa.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, these were not released. They're not allowed to be
released because they they they played a game seven. They
had the hats ready to go and.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
He stole one from a starving child.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
No, no, you just got took years. I've been trying
to get this for some time, and we put.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
It together and here that's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Actually my favorite World Series Championship, the twenty seventeen World Series.
That's a nice hat which our friend the bus drivers
still paying off. Right, the ticket I believe bought a
ticket to go to the World Series. The team was
cheating the other team. The asked one.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah, we we've been talking about this and people can
laugh if they want, but you know, if the Chargers
are to make a Super Bowl appearance here in the
fairly recent times, how were we going to pay for
that to get missus Garcia to the game. So money's
being set aside in case.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Really happens, Is that right?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I shut up?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Coop.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Well you could there's two ways to do that, right.
You could either do that or you could go like
Chief a Hollock and just rob some banks on your
way to the super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
How that work out for him?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Well, he worked out well for a while, you know,
and then things went a little sideways a little bit. Yeah,
the super Bowl next year is in New Orleans, so
you could drive from LA to New Orleans.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
You could do that. I don't think we're anticipating next year.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
No, what maybe down the road. Who knows well how
mahomes is howled? So you figure, well, Brady got hurt
one year, so Mahomes will probably get hurt one year
and miss miss a chunk of time, right, is not
usually what happens. Remember Brady got taken out was it
week one or week two by that defender for Kansas City?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Yeah, and then we had the Brady rule, changed the
rule for because of that.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, And they always overreact to those kind of things. Anyway,
it is the Ben Masher. Let's go to the phones.
We'll take some calls here.
Speaker 5 (16:48):

Speaker 1 (17:40):
You should talk to more people. Oh wow from the
from Lorena.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I mean, I've met listeners for sure, but not like
a random chance just in the wild. Yeah, no, no, no,
it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
What's happened to me a few times, but not very often.
I don't I don't enjoy what happened with you at
the rental car. Yeah, at Merle Beach. There was a
guy in Myrtle Beach that's listened to the show. But
it's odd. I even got a photo with them.

Speaker 7 (18:23):
I'm so active, are you?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I'm not. I posted photos of this hat I'm wearing.
You know, if you want to see that on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
We were looking at it now. We don't need to
go look at it.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
But the people you could see, you're stalking me. If
you can look at that right now what I'm what
I'm wearing and the videos will be up on the Yeah,
I'm a YouTuber, you know that, Lorena. We have our
own YouTube channel. I didn't know this. Where can I
find it out?
Speaker 7 (18:45):
Bet?
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Well, I don't know, but it's on there. I don't know.
There's always cameras on me. I don't even know what
the YouTube channel is, but it's it's for I guess
the Fox Sports Radio YouTube channel. And then they have
sub channels and this show has a channel. Isn't that
how it works?
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
I just know it's at Fox Sports Radio Official.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I just know. Like once a month, something I say
goes viral and then it gets a lot of hits,
like maybe once a month that happens, and then we
have everyone. In a while, we had an international incident
with Argentina where I ripped Manu Ginobili and we had
people cursing my name in Spanish and they're very upset
with me. And so, yeah, you sounded like that, sounded
(19:31):
like that Instagram page Ben Maller on Fox the Facebook
page Ben Mahlor Show. If you want to be part
of the program that way, Yafem says, it's official a
hockey guy. Official hockey guy of the show is Ben.
That's what he says. Late Night drug tester says that
(19:53):
time of the year, NBA teams need to listen to
Chicken Little and Ben Mallard. The sky is falling and
don't let a falling star fall on you. Yeah, all right,
let's go to the phones and we'll say hello to
tiger Man, who's in Utah but his heart is in
(20:14):
Baton Rouge. Hello Tigerman.
Speaker 8 (20:17):
Hey Ben, Uh, you know this is a this is
kind of a pickle for me.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (20:22):
You know, I'm a Royal fan and a proud member
of the militia.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
But oh, you said, but that means everything you said
before the word but is a lie? Go ahead, Well here.
Speaker 8 (20:33):
Here's the pickle. Like, I want to support Eddie and
a Alf the legend. Ellie and o'piner and I are
both on the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Uh so I think we Alf is on the Florida Panthers.
Is that right? Alf is my number one fan next
to ferk Dog. Alf is turning against you.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
You know who else is on the Panthers?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Uncle Moe, Uncle Mo?
Speaker 8 (20:59):
Well that's the problem.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
There is no Uncle Moe. It does not exist, Eddie.
I don't even Uncle Mo's fake is an Uncle Mo
from Brooklyn? Is an AI generated caller. I'm convinced Uncle
Moe is not a real human being.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
That's bizarre. But okay, well yeah, so.
Speaker 8 (21:15):
Then here I want to go with Eddie, but I.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Don't do it, dot not if you want more a man,
don't do it. I'm not. I'm just saying, Eddie, there's
a dimension where you might not get as much airtime.
There's a dimension, maybe not my dimension, but there's a dimension.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
You know, Eddie, I gave you a gift with Paul Skins.
You haven't mentioned him tonight at all. Uh you know
when you do the updates and then you have two
fever NFL teams.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
I mean, all right, hold on.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
You said what you said you want, Paul Skeins, Is
that what you want?
Speaker 5 (21:52):
All right?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Here we go. I got a I got a fun fact.
You want a fun fact?
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Fun fact?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
All right? History of baseball, most strikeouts in the pitcher's
first eight career games modern era of baseball since nineteen hundred. Now,
the all time record is seventy seven by herbs Score.
But Paul Skeens of the Petsburg Pirates, if you looked
at the game on Sunday, he had eight strikeouts in
seventy so he's got sixty one. So in the history
(22:21):
of baseball, the only pitchers ahead of Paul Skeens, former
LSU pitcher now the Pittsburgh Pirates are Nolan Ryan, Masihiro Tanaka,
Steven Strasburg, carry Wood, Jose de Leone, and Herb Score.
That's it in the history of baseball, first eight career games.
And now I ask you, Tiger Man, who are you
picking in Game seven on a Monday night in the NHL.
Speaker 8 (22:45):
I'm sorry, I'm a big fan of yours. But I'm on.
I guess I'm on with that.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Yeah, look at that. Come on, he's tiger Man. He's
got a we with the Panthers. It's all in the
cat family.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
The Rainer will not allow me to have my fun See,
I pressed the button here and then she would, she'd
fade it down. We don't fade that down. That's me
celebrating the demise of that guy. Oh bam, what I
don't know what that was?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
That a Southern accent. You were a rain of funny.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
You were at a bar in Santa Monica's have you said?
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
You don't live anywhere near Santama? What were you doing
in Santa Monica?
Speaker 6 (23:28):
It was the anniversary of my mom's eighteen years of passing,
so it's kind of I take a rose out there.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
And I spend the day. Oh look at that's very
Look at you. Yeah, sweet wonderful. Now you made me
feel terrible. You made me feel Thank you. I appreciate
kicking the ship just like he just poked me in
the eye right there with that, I thank you very much. Okay.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller
Show weekdays at two am eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
So back to golf. An eventful weekend at the Travelers.
You got a couple of people that got hospitalized over
a lightning strike at the event. And so we're coming
down to an eighteenth hold, right. I just mentioned Scottie
Scheffer and Tom kim Or getting ready to decide this event.
And then what happened. The protesters came out. The protesters
came out. Six protesters ran around on the eighteenth hole.
(24:20):
Environmental protesters, whack of doodles, wack of doodles. They were
wearing shirts that said no golf on a dead planet.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Plan very much alive, Eddie. I don't know what you're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
But police were able to quickly remove them, and you know.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Make a couple of things. First of all, I'm going
to talk more about this coming up later. I will
mention this in a mall of monologue number two. My position,
if you interfere with my life, whether it's my enjoyment
of live, me getting to work here in LA occasionally
they'll close the freeways. Oh, people will stand across the
highway and you won't be able to go anywhere, and
it'll create gridlock. So whatever your cause is I pull
(25:01):
for the other side. If you affect my life, and
even if I support your cause leading up to that,
if you ruin my life or affect my life in
a negative way and cost me time. The most valuable
asset we all have is time. We don't know how
much we have. We can't get more of it when
it's gone. It's the most valuable thing in the world.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
Time.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
And so if you mess with my time, I wish
you nothing but worse, nothing but the worst. I will
curse you. So I hope that we build more coal
factories Atty, and I hope that we ruin the environment
and put feces like they do in Parie in the
water there, just to screw with those people. Okay, that's
what I hope. I saw funny. Speaking of that, I
(25:39):
saw a funny I saw a funny thing the other day.
But remember about fifteen years ago, there were all these
stories about the honeybee was going to die. We have
no honey remember that.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I do remember something about that.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
The total bull crap. But they raised money. They raised
a bunch of money about the death of the more
honey bees now than the word then it worked. Then, Yeah,
that's what they always say. That's always how the scam works, right, Well,
so we hadn't said something anyway. It is the Ben
Malord Show. As we continue on, so the virals, I
should be giving the fun factor fun? Why not? All right?
(26:14):
This one goes out to Eddie who disrespects my Edmonton Orthers.
Is it true that Connor McDavid, of the Oilers who
are going to hoist the cup up as winners on
Monday Night, Connor McDavid is more assists this Stanley Cup
series than any Panther even has points that that is
(26:35):
how dominant Connor McGregor is that he has more assist
than any fors Coon McGregor, Connor McDavid. Connor McDavid has
more assists this Stanley Cup. All those Connors are all
those Connors are the same, clearly, but Connor McDavid more
assists this Stanley Cup than any Florida Panthers. More evidence
(26:56):
of how dominant the Oilers have been in this series,
just go to the phones. Terry is in Colorado. Hello, Terry, welcome, Well, hello, hello,
interesting talking with you. You know something would I like
to see is.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
The Demra Nuggets last year in the playoffs this year's
Boston Celtics.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
And the playoffs. I love to see that. Well, you
could have seen that if the Nuggets hadn't gagged against Minnesota,
so you had your chance you had Yes, they did it. Yes,
so you should You should be upset. You should be
upset with Nicole Yokich. Is who you should be upset? No,
(27:43):
I don't think so. Yes, you should with him.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
I'm not upset with him. I'm not upset with uh.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
You know their number T player.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Is a very random call. By the way, It's a
very random call for you to make. Why are you
making this call? Very random of you to make this call.
What is this call about? Why are you calling me?
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Because I'm saying I would have liked to see that.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
You know, Okay, there's a lot of things I would
have liked to have seen. I would have liked to
see the a holes who cheat in the twenty seventeen
World Series be punished and the championship removed, and the
Dodgers the right victors given the champions whatever you want,
say they earned it because they didn't cheat like the
a holes. I'd like to see that. What's that, well
you said? I'd like to see so I'm giving you
(28:26):
up my big board of things I'd like to see
that didn't happen. I'd like to see Kawhi Leonard stay healthy.
That's what I would have liked to have seen, but
he hasn't. So it's a thing I would like to see,
but it hasn't happened. So the viral Internet star, what's
(28:46):
an on call? I know, like, why would you call me?
I mean, who's what I'd like to have seen? Okay, anyway,
So the viral So we mentioned this last hour. This woman,
we don't know who she is yet, she'll maybe she'll
stay hidden, I don't know, probably not. Somebody knows who
she is went viral over the last week. The Hawk
too woman, just google it Hawctoi. No, we call Hawk Tour.
(29:12):
That's too talkue about low. Yeah. Anyway, so she went viral,
and somebody in NASCAR has been put in the principal's office.
A NASCAR team removing their social media manager because of
a meme celebrating the young lady there the Hawk Tour
(29:37):
meme and having a field day with that. JD Motorsports.
Now Eddie's also a NASCAR guy. He knows that's the
Exfinity Series NASCAR, and they run the four and six
car various drivers, and they tossed out a meme of
(29:58):
this current situation and then it says rained out and
then they had a photo of the young lady there
with the track behind it and pretty harmless, pretty benign,
kind of funny. And the social media manager who put
this out there apparently got in a whole bunch of
(30:19):
trouble removed from the account because of the meme, which
seems rather odd because unless I'm wrong, NASCAR stock car
racing in the United States originated with bootlegging. So these
are bootleggers. During Prohibition, the drivers would they would run
(30:41):
bootleg whiskey made in Appalachia and they'd drive it around
the United States, right, and they distribute their products and
they used small fast vehicles to avoid the cops because
booze was ill during prohibition, thus prohibition. And so that's
(31:02):
the origins of NASCAR is bootlegging. And now here we
are in twenty twenty four and NASCAR people getting in trouble.
This is accurate here because of memes. Okay, that's where
we are. It reminds me back in the old days,
those good old boys used to call up and say, say,
NASCAR's gone corporate. They're gone once they put they put
(31:24):
races in California and in non traditional southern destinations. That
this was inevitable that NASCAR sold out and they went corporate.
And that seems a little much though, even if you're corporate,
that seems a little little much, a little much. Yeah,
all right, what else do we have here? Art Puffin
(31:45):
says he's praising tiger Man that got used to call
the show it is a way to stick to your guns. Well,
no more fun facts about LSU. That's it, right there,
no more fun facts. It's all over. It's all over.
Ferg Duck says, I refuse to believe Alf is rooting
for America's team. Go oilers, he says, and Alf says,
(32:06):
don't believe what you hear. Fake news, fake news. So
he says, yeah, absolutely correct. Just a follow up to
the Paris story we talked about this last hour. So
they had a protest event for the water. Actually we're
(32:26):
trying to prove that the water was safe to swim in.
People were protesting, but some politicians were supposed to some
French officials were going to swim to prove that the
send water was good, but they chose not to. And
I mentioned this in passing, but I read this on
(32:47):
the internet that swimming in that river in Perie has
been illegal for more than one hundred years because of
the pollution and the city rather old. They have old
pipes that connect to the city sewers and they often
get overwhelmed when it rains a lot, and as a result,
the sewage enters into the river when it rains hard
(33:09):
and it creates massive pollution and bacteria. And they've been
spending a ton of money, in fact, they claimed the
French government has spent in preparation for the games. They've
spent over a billion dollars to try to clean it up,
and they tested it recently and it's still filled with bacteria.
(33:31):
So it's a it's a hot mess there. I just
love the fact that in my head they had all
these people lined up and to swim, and then they're like, well, no,
it's not we don't want to get sick, and we're
not gonna do it. And the official said in a
news conference on Friday that the sin is still too
(33:52):
polluted to swim. It can't do it, and the Olympics
are coming up or we're in late June. The Olympics
are going to be here before you know what. It
is the bay N Mahlor's Show. As we continue on
and on and on, we have Mallard of the Third Degree.

suggests that the Jets are planning to get rid of
GM Joe Douglas and head coach Robert Solid next offseason. Ben,
do you think these guys are both sitting ducks?
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Yeah, depending on Aaron Rodgers. They put all their chips

They're all gone. Next.
Speaker 7 (37:33):
Bryce Harper and Shoe Otani are the two front runners
for the NL MVP. Now, if either were to win
the award, they would only be the twelfth players ever
to win MVP three times. Are you putting your money

are a wagon and he's a designated here you can't
get an MVP is a DH Come on, Bryce Harper,

Speaker 7 (37:55):
I was reported over the weekend that Trevor Bauer could
bring legal action against MLB if he reman out of
the league. How do you think that would go over?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Well, it wouldn't matter. He can't win. That's a lawsuit.
You can't win. What is his legal standing it would
go I'd like to see him pitching the big leagues,
but you you can't win that case. How do we do?
Kop phail? That's a win. That is a win. Like
