Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom, Shaka laka. It's our numb berd two.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
As we run the gauntlet here in our number two.
Cops in Miami are seeking to arrest former NFL player
Antonio Brown on attempted murder charges. What are your thoughts
on these latest developments today? And the Bengals edge rusher
first round pick Shamar Stewart has left mandatory mini camp

(00:27):
and he's in a contract kerfluffle with the team.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Is their cause for concern? We'll discuss that.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
And the Jets owner Woody Johnson is in talks to
purchase a stake in English Premier League soccer franchise Crystal
Palace FC. Whatever that is, so, how should Jet fans
feel about that?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Will break the logjam? Right now?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Do the old ear hustle in our number two? What
can Brown do for you? Well, if you're a lawyer,
you can make a lot of money. Welcome in the
beginning of another hour of the Ben Mahlor Show. We
are in the air everywhere. Listen and relax.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
We spit up the night, coast to coast, border to board,
her hand beyond on the mast and harmonically powerful microphones
of FSR and moinating live from the market, the flea
market of wheeling and dealing on the Fox Sports radio studios,
as approved by.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Charlie in Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Charlie's like, you know, I kind of like that, And
this portion of the Ben Malor Show on Fox made
possible in part by our.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Friends at ty Iraq. For over forty years, ty Iraq.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
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.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Knew that and our friend Big Daddy there in.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Memphis with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation thumbs
up over there from mister Irrigation tire rack dot Com
the Way Tire Buying Show. So our lead this hour
is from the police blotter. The police blotter. We haven't
had a good sports trial in a while. You're a

(02:25):
fan of trials, We might have that an NFL legend
from years gone by in some hot water if you
have not heard, perhaps not a stunning juxtaposition from where
he was a few years ago. Antonio Brown, the former
Pittsburg Steeler Antonio Brown, is now a wanted man in

(02:50):
Miami Dade County. Antonio Brown, what did he do well.
He's wanted for attempted murder charges. That seems like a
rather serious crime, attempted murder. And this all stems from
an incident we talked about a little bit when it
happened about a month ago in May May sixteenth, a

(03:11):
celebrity boxing event in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami,
and police say that Antonio Brown decided he was an
action hero.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
I added that.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Part grabbed the gun of a security officer, ran towards
another man and fired at least two shots. That one
of those shots came very very close to ending the
life of one of the people grazed the neck if
it had gone through the neck. Turn out the last

(03:46):
the parties over Now. A judge issued a warrant, setting
a ten thousand dollars bond and ordering Antonio Brown to
remain under house arrest. And at last report, from what
we have been able to decipher, he is still out there.
Antonio Brown.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Will he leave the country? Will Antonio Brown become a
fugitive from justice? Who knows?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Developing hot dot dot dot? So let us discuss It's
an interesting story.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
The question.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
We're gonna frame it this way, so the cops in Miami.
The authorities there are seeking to arrest Antonio Brown, the
former NFL player Antonio Brown, on a charge of attempted murder.
Your thoughts on these developments, Your thoughts on these latest developments.
So I've got microscope, motown and police escort, and we

(04:38):
will combine all of these things together, and it's gonna
be just like hurting frogs, just like we're hurting frogs. Yeah,
So numb burr. Let me try that again, numb bur
There you go, bunkers. This story is bunkers. Now Antonio

(05:01):
Brown's camp has I say camp, It's mostly just him.
But the contingent is that, hey, Brown was the the
person who was the victim here.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
He was jumped.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
He acted in self defense, claiming he was detained and
then released at the time he said they released me.
In fact, supposedly that night, the night of the shooting,
they released him. He went back to the event. So he' said, ah,
I'm not going home, I'll go to the event. Now
here's the here's the problem. Let's go to the videotape,

(05:33):
the surveillance surveillance video, the cell phone videos.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Also, if you believe the.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Initial reporting, they claim to show a much different story
than Antonio Brown's version of events, that that Brown was
punching a guy grabbed the security officer's weapon and bang bang. Now,
the legal stakes on this are Jine norms, as you

(06:00):
might imagine. That's a this is not your Hey, I
got caught with the I parked my.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Car illegally and I got a ticket, or I got
busted for jaywalking.

Speaker 2 (06:10):
This is a tempted murder, and so attempted murder with
a firearm is a serious felony.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
And depending on the exact charges, which we have not
seen yet, you're looking.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
At decades decades in prison. So how will this play out?

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Now, we don't know how it's gonna play out.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
However, I am a distant relative of Nostradamus and friend
of Nostradinas. He lives in Seattle, and as someone who
is all knowing, all powerful, omnipresent when it comes to
these kinds of stories, Antonio Brown is going to pull
out a bugle and he's gonna call in the cavalry.
Antonio Brown, He's going to invoke the legal gods will

(06:57):
come down from the heavens here, and that means a
celebrity lawyer here a celebrity lawyer.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
There, a celebrity lawyer everywhere. They're going to enter the chat.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Now, from what we know right now, based on the
available information, it is going to come down to perception
of the video, right, It's going to come down to
how do you interpret the cell phone video? How do
you interpret all the different footage they have because everything
was recorded, so the Malard microscope. Under the microscope, we're

(07:29):
looking at a frame by frame z the Bruder film
style breakdown where each side will bring in legal experts
to methodically analyze the clips and explain why this is
wrong and this is guilty, and Antonio Brown's gonna say, man,
this guy's the victim.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
This guy's the victim.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Now, if it does get all the way to trial,
and normally these things don't go to trial because if
you're facing a lot of jail time, you work out
a plea deal to lesser charges so you avoid the
big part of the jail possibility. And then there's the
other possibility that the charges are dropped, and so all
those options are there. But if this does in the multiverse,

(08:09):
if this does go.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Down to a trial, just stay with me on this.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
You're gonna have hand picked expert witnesses who will support
Antonio Brown and his legal argument. You're also going to
have hand picked legal experts for the prosecution. Now, AB's
defense again is going to claim, listen, he was the
one jumped victim, capital be victim and he panicked. Yeah, yeah,

(08:35):
he shouldn't have done that, but he fired it was
in self defense.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Now the issue is was this person a threat who
he shot?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
If he did indeed shoot the gun, which is what
the accusation is, and they have the video, so they
must be really confident they have they have the goods
on Brown. So was he facing Antonio Brown? Was there
a possible threat to Antonio Brown? Was he running away
from Antonio Brown? That's a problem. That is, if the

(09:03):
guy's running away from me and you shoot him and
it hits the neck, even if it kind of grazes
the neck, but they're going the wrong direction.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Problem, right, that's a problem.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
And so they're gonna lean on these videos and there'll
be some witness testimony and all that stuff. Apparently there
was an off duty officer from one of the stories
I read.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
That said that Brown took the weapons during the fight.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Antonio Brown, this guy, this guy has mastered.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Off field John he is a player.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
My favorite Antonio Brown story is when he was sent
over to the Raiders and he never played a game
because he got frostbite on his feet and he couldn't
he couldn't play, which was was was great.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
And you also know what his defense is going to be.
He's going to throw mercy on the court, say, listen,
I suffer from CTE. I've gotta I've got a messed
up brain. I have a degenderate of brain disease, and
you can't punish me. And you know that'll be brought up.
They will trot out every possible experts. It's not his fault.

(10:08):
He's got CET's handicapped. And now Brown is thirty six.
He turns thirty seven next month.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
If I believe I'm correct on that. So if he's convicted.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
And he ends up going to jail for fifteen twenty years,
you're looking at Antonio Brown being gonzo till he's in
his fifties or sixties.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
That's a long time, long long time to be away.
All right.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Now, Page two, we had not a Cincinnati where the
food is bad according to Justin, and the football team
is not great, and the baseball team's blob. Well, the Bengals,
we'll talk about the football team. The first round pick,
the edge rusher Shamar Stewart, is not happy. And we
have a update. Stuart left the mandatory mini camp. He's

(11:00):
in a contract boondoggle with the team. So is their
cause for concern that the Cincinnati first round pick Sjamar
Stewart has left mini camp. So I've looked at this,
I've examined the facts. Despite the headlines rookie rebellion in

(11:21):
Cincinnati plus same old penny pinching Bengals negative publicity, despite that,
is their cause for concern? The cause for concern is minimal.
And here's why you queue up the motown tune Martha
Reeves and the Van Dels right. Nowhere to run, baby,

(11:43):
nowhere to hide. Because despite the obvious haggling that is
going on, the Bengals need Stewart and the player is absolutely.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
I'll clean this up for radio. The players porked. Okay,
they're porked.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
The battle is over the minutia, it's over the fine print.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
It's not over cash. And so say that the Bengals
are are cheap.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
Yeah, the Bengals are cheap in this case, though the
Bengals are not offering less money. A lot of people
are just reading the headlines. They're like, wow, this is
Bengals must be low balling this guy.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
They're not.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
And the only reason the Bengals are not low balling
Stewart is because they can't. The CBA does not allow
that to happen. Everything's slotted, it depends where you're drafted.
You're going to get X amount of money based on
where you're drafted.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
But ultimately, ultimately Shamar Stewart doesn't have any leverage. The
only option is to sign with the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Here's why.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
If you look at the contract between the NFL and
the Players Association, it makes it almost impossible to not
play for the team that drafts you unless you just
don't want to play football.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
And want to get a normal job and just give
up football.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Like, look at the option he could sit out. Stewart
could sit out the season. However, that would just delay
the big money because you get the big money on
the second contract, so you delay the time until you
can get paid as a rookie and get the clock
started on free agency.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Also, well, what about a trade.

Speaker 2 (13:26):
All right, So again based on what I understand the
contract there, if you want to be traded, you would
have to sign a contract with the Bengals first. They
can't trade you unless you sign the contract in Cincinnati.
So then that would force the Bengals to absorb some
of the salary in that scenario, or go. They'll get

(13:50):
this taken care of. It's a good June story. It's
a good June story. And that's about it, all right, now,
final point, we head to the owner ship class where
wooy Woody Johnson, now Woody Johnson has Yeah, he's at
one of the heirs to the Johnson and Johnson band
Aid Empire.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
So Woody Johnson is in deep negotiation.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
To spend about two hundred and seventy million dollars to
purchase a big chunk, but not a majority, A big
chunk but not a majority, of an English choker team,
Crystal Palace FC. So Woody Johnson we know he has
strong ties to England. He was the ambassador in the

(14:37):
UK under the first Trump administration. So Jets owner Woody
Johnson in talks to buy a big piece of an
English Premier League soccer franchise, Crystal Palace.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
How should Jet fans feel about this? Because I'm I'm
seeing some of.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
The feedback and they're like, oh, this is this is
an embarrassment this guy.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
This is bad. What are we doing here?

Speaker 2 (15:02):
You know, we want a guy that he wants the
Jets to be great. Why why is he.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Going over there and screwing up and going to England
and all that.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Now, I have an unpopular opinion for people to believe
that if I'm a Jets fan and I have no
no association with Jets, but if I'm advising the Jets
fan base, give Woody Johnson a police escort, make sure
he gets to the airport with plenty of time to
go through customs and all that stuff and board his flight.

(15:32):
Woody Johnson, as a hands on owner has produced donkey.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Do he just has? The Jets are?

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yeah, they're the laughing stock of the NFL and all
that stuff, and we lampoon the Jets. Johnson was the
only NFL owner to receive an F grade on that
Bugayse Players Association Annual Report Guard thing.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Under Woody Johnson's ownership, the.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Jets ranked twenty six out of thirty two teams. Twenty
six out of thirty two teams and dividing your attention, right,
that is actually a blessing in disguise. Let him be
half present. Just you hire people, let them make the decisions.
And if Woody Johnson's half distracted, he's an absentee owner,

(16:22):
that's fine. Now the other thing here, and I don't
have this kind of money that the company makes sure
I don't get the big money, but the aristocrats, the
new thing is to get an English soccer team.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Next. That's like the next must have item.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Like it's cool to own an NFL team, but if
you can have an NFL team and own part of
a Premier League team, oh man, you're the king of
a cocktail party.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
You are.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
The other NFL owners currently in their portfolio that have
Premier League soccer include Shod Khan from Jacksonville.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
He owns one of the teams.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
There Bucks, the Glazer family, they owned Manchester United part
of it forty nine ers, the York Family, Leeds United,
Commander's owner Josh Harris. They are the majority owners of
Crystal Palace, I believe. And then Stan Cronke also owns
a Premier League team. And so that's it. That's the

(17:25):
not the list big board. That was a big board.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
We'll have to go to our soccer expert Terry in
England for more on that. Later. Is the Ben Mahlor Show.

And also if you're in factory search whoever you might.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I did a small Mallard meet and greet back in
the back in the day there in Wisconsin and guys
working in a factory.

Right after we get off the air, back to it
we go, David the Fried Daddy writes in he's filing
a formal complaint with the play of the day.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Can you believe that we have a complaint from the
play of the day?

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Thought it was so good?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, it was the game winning goal for the Edmonton Oilers.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
David fry Daddy says, no, Ben that was the wrong play.
It should have been golf. Some dude got an albatross.
That's rare. Yeah, there's a major. Do you know what
an albatross is in golf? Lingo Lorrena, you're a sports
person on the show, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
Well, yeah, I know an albatross stands for a big bird.
So I'm going to assume in golf and albatross is
a big hole in one.

Speaker 1 (20:14):
Okay, wow, that is that is incorrect.

Speaker 5 (20:17):
I actually don't know what it is. But can I
take a guess?

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Go ahead? Cool? What do you think in albatross? Is?

Speaker 5 (20:22):
Is it three birdies in a row?

Speaker 2 (20:25):
No, as I understand that albatross is when you you
your three shots under part like this guy on a
par five got he got.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
It in two shots.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
That's an albatross.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Back when I not my game, I was at the
pitch and putt back in the day, and I was
the I was the master of the pitching butt. Anybody
watch any of the golf and it's outside Pittsburgh, the Major,
which is going on this weekend.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
I did not.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
I I've learned over the years from doing this show
to not tay any attention to the first round of
a major golf tournament and very little attention to the
second round, and then pay a lot of attention on
Saturday and then Sunday because the tight took his syndrome
takes over. And then guys are gagging right and left there.
They can't handle the pressure and they collapse. Now, Terry

(21:18):
is our soccer guys, he's been as you know, I
cannot stand soccer, but I do know this much. The
Glazers are hated, utterly hated by Man United fans. Well,
that's good chipping, the Ques writes in and he was
at one of the first Mallard meet and greets we
ever did back in the day. Chippindale sounds like it

(21:40):
sounds like something else anyway.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
He says a plus on the Mallard monologue.

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Good thing for Antonio Brown that he is not a
better shot, Otherwise he would probably be spending the rest
of his days rotting away at the Gray Bar Hotel. Yeah,
the fact that he did not connect. There is a
pathway to get out of this. There is some kind
of deal. And I know in Florida in the past

(22:04):
there have been athletes that have gotten in some serious
trouble there and then if you cut a big enough check,
you can end up doing very little jail time. You
make some donations to the right people, and all of
a sudden your problems go away. Donkey Sausage, is how
ironic in trying to push out a donkey doo?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Right now? I'm constipated. All right, thank you sausage, appreciate that.
Very nice.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
There we are on ex at Ben Malor. If you
want us to read your dopey comments, you can do that.
And the phones are working somewhat, so let's go back
to the calls right now.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
And I think I have Helmet Man. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Let's see if helmet Hello, Helmet Man in La. He's
a superhero, He's Helmet Man.

Speaker 6 (22:55):
Morning.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
No, I can't. I can't hear you.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Then?

Speaker 4 (23:03):
Are you there?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
No? No, I'm not here.

Speaker 7 (23:07):
Oh uh, yeah, he did it again, Ben Well?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Who who? Who?

Speaker 7 (23:12):
Uh? That guy when the Yankees were here, he wouldn't
sign autographs?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Which guy?

Speaker 7 (23:24):
The guy who hit the home runs for the Yankees
all the time?

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Oh, Aaron Judge.

Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah, for a second time. He ran into me. He
said he only signed for kids.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Did you tell me you're well? Give me the Backstorre
Where did you run in? Where did helmet man run
into Aaron Judge.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
Out West Hollywood?

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Oh this is a good story.

Speaker 7 (23:50):
Okay, So I think just the endorsements and uh, they
don't want to be seen on it might affect their endorsement.
Probably haven't agreement.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
What what club? Was he at? A club or a
bar or a restaurant?

Speaker 2 (24:06):
Where was he he was at a restaurant?

Speaker 1 (24:09):
What were you doing? What were you doing over there?

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Out the stuff?

Speaker 6 (24:18):
So that's that's exactly why he wouldn't give you an autograph.

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Yeah, he didn't buy anything, but he just gave me
a kip for something.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Oh he gave you some money.

Speaker 7 (24:31):
Yeah, he didn't want to buy anything.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
You.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'd rather have Aaron Judges money than his auto. You
gotta done.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
That's pretty cool though, that is.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Yeah, that's a nice that's a nice thing.

Speaker 7 (24:45):
I think if they have an a dorsement agreement, not the.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
No, they don't.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
They just they don't want you reselling it exactly.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
They know you're gonna what you should have done?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
My move would have been, well, I have kids and
they really love you and you're breaking their heart.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
If I could have done that, yeah, that would have
been a.

Speaker 7 (25:06):
Got the best record.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
They No, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
I'm not just gonna let the fact that you ran
into Aaron Judge at a restaurant in West Hollywood go.
Let's play round robin. How much money do we think that?
Don't answer this yet, helmet Man, don't ruin the game.
How much money did helmet did Helmet Man get from
New York Yankees MVP Aaron Judge at a random restaurant

(25:30):
in West Hollywood when the Yankees were.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
In Los Angeles. Play the Dodgers. I'll go first. I
think he gave you forty dollars. I'm gonna go forty dollars.

Speaker 5 (25:41):
Lorena, Oh that's a good best.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
That's not that much forty dollars, now, you know I
was thinking about there.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
Let's go with one hundred.

Speaker 7 (25:50):
Yeah you did.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Oh the one hundred.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
Wow, congratulations, I'm actually shocked.

No, no, I'm not done with the Aaron Judge story.
I'm not ready to move on from the Aaron Judge.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
I'm not all right.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
So Aaron, let's do some mallarn math. Aaron Judge, you
know his contract with the Yankees. You know what it is,
I'm man, what he signed a three three hundred and
sixty million dollar contracts. Yeah, so what is one hundred
hundred dollars out of three hundred because you just you

(26:38):
just took some of his money there, you just took
away some of his money.

Speaker 5 (26:42):
How much how much money has he got on of
at any given time?

Speaker 1 (26:45):
You know?

Speaker 7 (26:46):
Oh, that's like a little bit of money for them
because they took the people in the rest of run.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
Yeah, they get pret deemed the baseball players, and I'm
sure it's a lot more than when I was around
the guys and the Dodgers years ago.

Speaker 1 (26:58):
When they go on the road, though, they they're given
like tip money to pay for yeah, to tip the people.

Speaker 6 (27:06):
And that's not that's not like part concluded in their
their contract.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
That's it's bonus.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
It used to it used to be because they would
take they would take taxis, but now they obviously use
ubers or whatever.

Speaker 7 (27:18):
So yeah, what if the year of the underdog people
making money on the n b A and they think
the Indiana might win. Uh later today Oklahoma have to
switch up. Yeah, I don't want to.

all right, there you go. Thank you the great helmet man.
Sharing a paparazzo story and if you can win the show.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
A long time.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Way back, I had many paparazzos around LA that would
call up and give me dirt on when guys were around.
Big stars were out at the clubs in LA and
we used to get updates every year on the Chicago Bulls,
the Jordan Bulls and it was all about Scottie Pippen,

(30:45):
who had earned the nickname no Tippin' Pippin because he
just did not believe in tippin'. And they would always
go out to these high end establishments, mostly in West
Hollywood Sunset Strip, sometimes over in Beverly Hills and yeah,
we get we get up this and that. Now, Chip,
and the Q says, bad job by you. My brother's
name is not Dale, It's Cal. I know, for some reason,

(31:06):
I thought Chimp and then Dale, but it was.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Cal Iron or Cowdn.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, I know, I was saying. I used to work
there back in the day. But Cal is in upstate
New York.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
You worked for Chip and Dale?

Speaker 1 (31:19):
I did. I made the chicken fingers in the back.
I was like, oh the strip club, Yeah, I made
the food there.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Chip also says I wouldn't want Aaron judges autograph unless
it was on a big check written out to me. Hey,
one hundred dollars from Aaron Judge. That's not bad, you know,
just and he didn't even buy any of your stuff.
He just handed out one hundred dollars, Like that's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Why not? I mean three hundred and sixty million dollars.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
So he must go out with a wad just like
a wad of cash, just just in case, just a
wad of you know, maybe I'll need this, maybe I won't,
but I just need a big wad of money.

Speaker 4 (31:54):
My daddy always told me never to carry a big
water cash man.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
Yeah, well, Judge probably has four bodyguards with him, right,
I mean.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
He probably doesn't, he doesn't need him. He's six seven.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, he's probably got a guy. I remember Shack had
a guy that was always falling him around. Shack's the biggest,
one of the biggest people I've ever seen in my life,
and he always had a guy with his uncle. We
call him his uncle, but I don't know they were really.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
And then Kobe had a guy too. It was a
guy that followed Kobe around. So yeah, I guess Jordan
had his crew is Motley crewe of people that were
following him around.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
Remember that documentary during COVID we watched they had the
guy with the white guy with the perm.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yeah, he was one of the Uh.

Speaker 2 (32:39):
No, no, he rain You confused your documentaries. Tiger King
was good during COVID, but the last dance the Chicago Bulls,
you didn't watch that, did you?

Speaker 1 (32:48):
No chance? No, No, I was doing monologues on that.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
That's how That's how we got through the monologue on
a freaking documentary. I did a fifteen minute monologue on
each fisode of the documentary. Now, fortunately somebody, and I
don't remember who, I'd give them credit. I do not
remember who, but somebody sent me a link to the
back door where I could watch in advance. And these

(33:13):
were not available streaming. You had to watch them on
Sunday night. They were on like ESPN. But somebody sent
me a link on some website that I could watch
them in advance, so I could kind of get a
before collect my thoughts and then i'd watch them again
and all that stuff. Anyway, it is the band at
Malor show we are going to have later this hour,
Mallard of the Third Degree.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
We'll get to that. The clipping save story.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Though, Dak Prescott slobbering all over George Pickens, and he
said that pickens attitude, no concern that it was was
praising George Pickens.

Speaker 1 (33:48):
And I'm telling you to clip and say it because I.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Will guarantee, we will guarantee that that will not be
the case. As we go through the real season, it's
easy to be on your best behavior.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
There's nothing going on right now.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Training camps open up right around July twenty third for
most teams, and so that's where the beginning of this will.
The rubber meets the road is in the regular season.
But yeah, I'll believe it when I see it. Time
now for the inch to trivia, and here it is.
Tyres Halliburton has scored fifty three points without free throw

(34:27):
attempts in the first three games of the finals. Blank
has the record. He scored sixty six points over three
games without a foul shot attempt in a playoff series.
That record goes back to nineteen sixty eight. Again, Indiana's
Tyres Halliburton has scored fifty three points without a free

(34:48):
throw attempt in the first three games of the finals.
Blank has the record with sixty six points over the
first three games without a foul shot attempt. That's in
any playoff series since nineteen sixty eight. That is the
insta Trivia, the answer and Mallard of the third degree.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
We'll get to it. We will do it next.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
All right, time now, time now for the Insta trivia
and then we'll get to Mallard to the third degree.
So Tyrese Halliburton, he has scored fifty three points for
the Pacers without a free throw attempt in the first
three games of the finals. Blank has the record. He
scored sixty six points for the first three games without

(36:13):
a foul shot attempt in a playoff series that goes
back to nineteen sixty eight. So that is the question.
What is the answer? The Burner account Late Night drug
tester all loved the comedy routine from Helmet Man.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Scrooge is going with the greatest shooter ever. Alec Baldwin.
All Right, who else do we have?

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Milkman Mike and Colorado says it's your new segment, The
Experts with helmet Man and Marcel.

Speaker 1 (36:39):
Who else?

Speaker 2 (36:40):
Alf says helmet Man the great Everyone's going Helmet Man.
Joe Rogan from Femi, Lester Connor from Donkeys Sausage Page down,
Carlton Banks from King Rory, the Olsen Twins, who are
thirty nine Today? From Late Night Drug Tester? Olly Walker

(37:00):
from William Spaccoli Guessed by Nature Boy, that's his answer?
The North End Nutbag from Shane in Des Moines. Lebron's
going with Actually you know Jordan, says Lebron's stepfather, Delonte West.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Earl Monroe from.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Eke in Roseville, Minnesota. Page down, Buck Guy Steve says
pitt Pull is the answer. Bimbo Coles from courtesy Flusher.
Detective nord Berg from Our Buddy Slug in Vegas, Hey, Buddy,
who else do you have? Mark and Queens says the
answer is Jason the jet Terry in high socks.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
That's Mark in Queens, but he's in Arlington. You know
the whole thing. But Shawn Leonard from.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Robin, Minnesota, Bob Coosey guests by Manuel in Guardina.

Speaker 5 (37:51):
What say you, Larina, I'm gonna go with hiccup.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
No, the the right to answer is Clay Thompson, lay
cups and sixty six points back at twenty twenty two, No.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
Bow shots the first three games, round one. Here we go,
Here we go, Here we go. It's Mallard. How about that?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
To the third degree, This is one.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Big Ben gets grilled, all right? Cool.

Speaker 6 (38:22):
Khalil Mack told reporters this week that his decision to
return to the Chargers on a one year deal was
less about finances and more about winning ball games.

Speaker 5 (38:30):
That are you buying that?

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Well, No, Khalil Mack has been around for many, many years.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
Right.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
He's had some big honors, Pro Bowls and All Pros.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
And been on some good defensive teams and all that.
But this is like the end of his run. So
he's made a lot of money. I don't believe if
he could have gotten more money, he would have gone
somewhere else. He's played for the Raiders, the Bears, and
the Chargers, and if he could have gone to New
England or Baltimore got more money he would have gotten.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Next, former NFL g and Mike Tannebaum meeting prediction on
Wednesday that Aaron Rodgers will be irrelevant by Thanksgiving and
the Steelers will finish third in the AFC North.

Speaker 5 (39:08):
How do you feel about those predictions?

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Well, it's a good hot take. Town Bomb's a talking
head on television. He will not be irrelevant for our
purposes because even if Aaron Rodgers is benched, it'll still
provide great talk radio because he'll he'll pout and complain,
and either way, for our purposes, he will not be
irrelevant even if he's benched, which is he's not gonna

(39:30):
get benched.

Speaker 6 (39:30):
Next, Brown's beat writer Mary Kay Cavint said on a
podcast this week that Jimmy has Them's comments that the
owners meeting essentially confirmed that both Kevin Stefanski and Andrew
Berry will have a sort of hal pass this season
that their jobs will be safe no matter the outcome.

Speaker 5 (39:43):
Do you think that's true?

Speaker 2 (39:45):
No, it's June thirteen, Ben and Jimmy has Them's a
whack a doodle the owner of the Cleveland Browns. No,
no one's safe, has them can talk to a homeless
guy and fire everyone.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
How do we do you pass this edition? There's that's
a wind. Put it on the boards. A hot to Molly,
A hot to Molly.
