Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dilly dilly. It's our numb birth three, our number three,
and we break it down for you NBA style here
in our number three. What grade do you give the
Lakers for adding Darden Marcus Smart over the weekend of
Former Celtic. Does this edition of Marcus Smart Smart Phil
(00:20):
the void for the Lakers? We'll talk about that also,
the Malor Palooza twenty twenty five continues. We will get
to more of the acts that you want in this
special edition of the podcast. Right now here it is
give it up for our number three. It's being called
a smart move. That's the headline, but is it really
(00:43):
a smart move? Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mallor Show. It is a malar Paloosa
kind of night. We are in the air everywhere, as
you are alongside as we unlock the magic. This is
gonna be the hour that we unlock the magic. Absolutely
(01:04):
correct here coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the mast and unrealistically powerful microphones of FSR AMMA
nating live from the pit, the Pit of curiosities, that
is the Malard Palooza from the Fox Sports Radio Studios
as approved. They're listening on the other side, Calligan Tim
(01:28):
in Michigan and our friend Rachel Amontibello. You know they're
tuning into this on the other you can get to
these stage because radio goes out forever. It probably goes
to the other side. Anyway, our lead this hour and
we will get back to the malaplus. If you're just
joining us, We've been on the Red Eye flight all night.
It's a Vaudvillian type flight, a lot of entertainment. I
(01:49):
say that we're lacking the entertainment. We're trying. We're trying
the efforts. This is gonna be the hour. This is
like the turning point. This is where it gets good.
The Malard Palooza biggest event of the year and overnight
sports rate. These are real people, men and women and
children that are just like you, and they've stayed up
and they've provided us with jokes and comedy, some not
funny impersonations, rap. We've had some freestyle we have not had.
(02:14):
We did have the beginning act was Milkman, who did
some impersonations. We normally get a lot of impersonations. We
haven't had any animal impersonations. We've not had that. So
there's some things that we've had in the past that
we have not had yet. Will that change? Stay tuned
developing hot dot dot. So our lead this hour though
mini male monologu or lead this hour is from pro
(02:35):
Bouncy Ball. And while we were away from the watchtower
guarding the overnight, the graveyard shift, there was a move
of note. I am told the managers say.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
You better mention this. You're not gonna mention it. It's
a good move. You won't bring it up. You're a hater, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So while we were away from guiding you through the overnight,
the rare and appropriate night off and then a couple
of nights off, so several of you reached out. So see,
this is another smart move, savvy move. But let's get
to if you missed it, and maybe you did. The Lakers.
That's a basketball team, not a good one. So the
(03:14):
Lakers added journeyman garden Marcus Smart. They added him over
the weekend. You might remember Marcus Smart played with the
Celtics and was on some good Celtic teams and won
some awards there while he played in Boston. He was
just bought out by the Wizards. The Washington Wizards said
bye bye, to Marcus Smart because apparently they even have standards.
(03:37):
Now the Washington Wizards have standards. What is going on
in the world? The Celtics cast off Since leaving Boston,
he played in Memphis and in Washington. Now he's headed
to La La Land to play for the other team
in la And yet again my inbox. When it wasn't
Blind Scott filling up my inbox, it was Laker historians
(04:00):
convinced yet again that Rob Polenka skinny jeans. Rob Polenka
has solved the Rubik's Cube of basketball. And he did
it with his eyes closed. What a savvy move, a
one historian. I forget the gentleman's name. Maybe I intentionally
forget his name, but he wrote.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
The Clipper's got Bradley Beale and he stinks because he
can't shoot anymore. But Marcus Smart he never could shoot,
but he'll always be able to play defense. You know
that kind of thing. That was the vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So let us discuss the question is this what grade?
What grade do you give the Lakers for adding Marcus Smart?
So Remetter, it's a mini mall of monologue. So I've
got Lionel Richie and smoke detector and we will combine
all these things together and hopefully we'll get an entertaining
act in the Mallard Palooza. But first of all, let's
(04:52):
start with this Marcus Smart. He's one of those guys
that has the name. Does he have the game? And
I would argue at this point he doesn't let me
translate that in modern tech terms so you can relate
to it. The Lakers just added a flip phone. Now,
(05:15):
there was a time if you had a flip phone,
you were pretty cool, like, oh man, you got a
flip phone. But they're adding that, and they're using that
in a world with like chat, GPT and all that
stuff and folding screens on phones and all that. It's
Marcus Smart is a cracked screen type defender in a
(05:36):
league that now uses face ID technology. Is what he
is is still using the passcodes and all that rotaryfon
I can go on a rotary phone and a FaceTime
world and all this stuff. Now, listen, Marcus Smart. Are
there going to be times where Marcus Smart is a
lunatic jumping for loose balls? Absolutely? Is he going to
(05:58):
clap his hands like an absolute maniac after making a
defensive play forcing a jump ball or something like that.
Of course he will. He'll pick up full court defense
in in game number forty nine of the regular season,
he will play that game like it's Game seven of
the NBA Finals. He will, all right, And when you
(06:20):
give him the ball, though, right, here's the problem. When
you give Marcus Smart the ball and the defense, it's
like Russell Westbrook, like where the defenses all right, shoot Marcus,
shoot Marcus and then que the lionel Ritchie Commodore's tune
(06:40):
brick house. Yet one brick after another, right clankny clank
clank from Marcus Smart. And so all those hustle plays,
all of them go away, because Marcus Smart will absolutely
kill you on the offensive side. You are literally playing
shorthanded with Marcus Smart. On offense. The man treats the
(07:03):
three point line like it's a personal dare, which it
often is from the defense, and he keeps shooting. Now,
he is one of those glue guys, heart and soul guys.
Marcus Smart. That's the kind of player, which is we
all know his code for can't shoot. Does other things,
but can't shoot, And you don't want to say those
(07:23):
other things he can't do out loud, so you just
say hustle hert and soul guy, glue guy. But I
will give this on the MALA report card. I give
this a C a C move impact minimal capital m minimal,
minimal impact from Marcus Smart and like all moves that
(07:43):
the historians make, like way too much hype, way too
much hype. And this is the guy that chut thirty
nine percent last season on a bad team. You should
always play better on a bad team because somebody's got
to score points, and they usually the games are blowouts
(08:04):
and they just leave you open. And he still shot
thirty nine percent from the field. And yet he's being
treated like he maked every three point shot. But yet
I when I watched him, even going back to his
salad days with the Celtics, and he's a guy when
he makes a three pointer, he's like, wow, that's amazing.
He doesn't usually do that. You know, he makes one
(08:26):
about as often as a birthday candle stays lit when
it's in a wind tunnel. Doesn't happen. Now. Secondly, does
this addition of Marcus Smart phil a void for the Lakers?
Phill the foid? Well, A lot of people are saying yes,
this is what they needed. Obviously, I don't believe that.
I'm on the other side here. They do need shooting.
(08:49):
They need to get a little bit younger, I would
say being fair here, got to improve the second unit.
There are people saying Marcus Smart's going to be a
starting player for the Lakers. I mean, that does not
seem like a wise move if he's in your starting lineup,
and I mean the second unit. Now you look at
(09:09):
the Lakers, they have no depth. JJ Reddick, the podcast guy,
remember that playoff game against Minnesota where he just played
all of his starters like pretty much the entire second
and he's like, well, these guys on the bench blow
And I look at the Lakers right now, in that
second unit, it still looks like a bad YMCA team
(09:30):
on a Thursday night rec matchup. Keep part of that wreck.
And so what is Marcus Martin? He is a guy
that can't shoot. He is an aging one trick guy.
He's a defensive specialist. And that's what you've had it.
If he's so vital, so vital, why did Boston ship
(09:54):
him out and instantly win a championship without him? When
they added Drew Holliday, they got I rid of this guy,
and then they went out to Celtics and won a championship.
Even though Marcus Smartt was part of the fabric of
the Celtics, he had his own Cereal. I remember doing
a bit on the show about Wicked Smots, Wicked Smots
(10:14):
the Cereal. This guy loved the Celtics so much he
dyed his hair green while he played for the Boston Celtics.
And yet they got rid of him and they improved
so and now he's older, so good luck on that.
He went to Memphis, went to Washington and the only
other team like Washington, like they're desperate for anyone that
(10:35):
knows how to play. At this point, our buddy Rick
and Maryland morning time. He's going to be on the Wizards.
They're so bad. And they decided here's a guy that
was a Defensive Player of the Year in the NBA,
one of the highest honors you can get, the MVP
of defense, and the Wizards all like you, listen, we
don't even want you around here to mentor our g
league lottery pick roster. You know all these lottery picks. Oh,
(10:57):
I can't miss it until he get the Washington and
then most of them suck. So Marcus is thirty one,
which is not old turn it's thirty two during the season,
but by sports lingo, you're getting up there, and so
that's what you do. Well. He brings leadership, okay, so
Byron Scott you can bring him back, Magic Johnson, Derek Fisher,
they would all bring leadership as well. But this is
(11:18):
a desperate move by the Lakers. They the guys they
wanted didn't want to play for them, and so they're
stuck picking through the discount rack and they're still embarrassed
that they wanted Bradley Beal. Everyone wanted him, and he
chose the Clippers. He didn't choose the Lakers, he chose
the Clippers. So picking Marcus smart up. It's one of
those things it feels like you're replacing batteries in the
(11:43):
smoke detector and the house is already a blaze, while
you're like, maybe I should change the batteries and the
smell the houses aren't in fire. I noway, I just
want to He will get the crowd hype. There'll be
some moments where he looks really good and flashback and
all that and wonderful, and you say, you know, hell yeah,
let's go. We got Marcus Smart, and I will just
sit back and wait. I will sit back and wait
(12:05):
because I know Neville, you'll have to if you get
to the playoffs. Playoffs, you get to the playoffs, that
is when he will kill you. He'll break your heart.
The offense will stall. Teams will dare Marcus Smart to
shoot from pre point range, and he will and he'll miss,
and then the Nuggets will go on a fourteen to
two run because he keeps missing. And Marcus Smart will
(12:28):
jump for loose balls and he might get some of them,
but he won't get all of them, and he'll keep
shooting rather than past the ball to luc Will. He
will take over the game and clank atty clank just
all over the place. So good luck with that. It

Our next act, we welcome in a man that got
me in trouble with management here at Fox Sports Radio.
He lives in the Boston area. He showed up twelve
hours before his scheduled in studio appearance, getting angry messages
(17:38):
from management complaining, why is this lunatic who's dressed like
a leprechaun in our building? We give it up now
to the one and only a man that bribed all
of us with gift cards. And let's say hello to
Mike the Leprechaun.

It would rather him just squeeze the chicken for ninety Wow,

the Leprechaun anchored terror. It sounded like he was played
something on his phone or another phone or his computer.
(19:49):

didn't need to do that. He could have just submitted it.
And there are people claiming now that might have been
a I there are people saying that, so anchor to
your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
It did sound a bit auto tuned at least, But
you know, the idea was better than I expected. So
I'm going to give him a number two.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Number two from the Great Inca. Well, listen, I really
enjoyed meeting, much to the dismay of many people. Mike
the Leprekhan. I know he's a polarizing figure of the Malamosa.
I thought he was charming. I thought he was polite,
he was nice. He's a super fan of the show,
and he kind of this guy stays up every night
writing notes while he's on hold or whatever for the show. Like,
(20:36):
that's dedication to the show. That's what we want. We
want people that committed the show. And I love that
about him, and I hate the fact he almost got
me fired by showing up twelve hours early. But I'm
not going to give you a minus ten, Mike the
leprecun I'm going to be completely fair here. I'm going
to give you a zero. You get a zero, So
(20:56):
congratulations there, Mike the Leprechaun, which is ten points better
than your score last year, Lorena.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
In my opinion, Ben, he's qualified for using AI. I
know for a fact that was not him singing. I
know for a fact he was not playing the instruments
in the song. As far as I'm concerned. Yeah, he's
outed because he didn't actually do anything.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Okay, so you're back to your and what's there's no score?
Then no score, no qualifying So zero, okay, zero, I'll
put to very the watch of two. My wife says too,

the worst thing I've ever heard of my life. Well,

So I'm giving him a five.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Five wow, a shocking score from Inkotaro. Now, I do
enjoy that. The Reverend Ray has been a big support
of the show for many, many years, and I was
going to give him a zero, but I did like
the fact the dog was so upset. The dog kept
barking to try to get him to shut up. So
I'm gonna give him a three. I'm gonna I'm gonna
give him three. Lorena, Oh my gosh, the dog.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
I'm so glad it was a Chihuahwa because I feel
like it added so much more, especially since the whole
thing was about weed, Like I imagine the dog just
stoned out of its mind.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Right secondhand smoke. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Yeah, so due to their duo and we weren't expecting
another animal in the tonight dog, Yeah, I'm gonna go
for a six.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I loved it.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Oh my Cooper Loop, Please are your thoughts here, Coop?
On the Reverend Ray.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
Green, I liked the Little the Little Prelude. I felt
like that actually had kind of better flow and rhyme
than the song itself. But then ever since Inkatara said
the Bob Dylan, I'm kind of I hear that. I
hear the folks see in the lyrics, and his voice
(26:16):
is just about as good as Bob Dylan's. So wow,
I enjoyed it. And you know what, come on, don't
do it my fellow Stoner brother. I'm gonna give him
a seven.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Oh my god, protest, protest, protest. The wife says it too,
by the way, she's going to she gave She gave
Reverendrad the same score as Mike the Leprechaun. They both
got a two. Okay, all right, Wow, the fun continues.

(28:08):
deal hour time run. I'm wanted little Anne. That's all
I got it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, all right, short and sweet brevity. There's a Kelly
in des Moines. And let's go right to the judge
of score cards and we go back to Inka terror
and she had some music in the buggers you're singing.
I thought it was actually compared to what's happened recently,
I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I agree, I agree. You know, my my only my
only problem. Is. I mean, she was, well, she's intentionally
referencing America's team there, and I don't know what that was,
but that's a great song. I'm going to give her
a six and a half.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Six and a half from Inka Terror. Well, boy, what
a great spot to be in. She follows Mike the
Leprechaun and Reverend Ray Green. That is what you want there.
You look wonderful following those those two acts. So listen.
I liked the song, as you said, they're in Katara.
I thought that was pretty good. I thought compared to
(29:16):
what we've gotten recently, which was a zero and a
three by me, but it was not I was not great.
I'll give it a five. I'll give it a five. Arena.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
You know, I love my cowboys, Ben. Maybe that was
a shout out to them, but I don't think it
pushed from your diaphragm. Get that force in there.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I want you to feel it down your feeling bo
saying yeah, but.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
You know the effort was there and just you know,
getting up and doing it. So I'm going to give
her a five point five.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Five point five, all right, my wife, clearly losing your mind.
Give it eight eight? Okay, what's in the vending machine.
Go ahead there? Cool please? Uh? I I liked it.
I mean, look compared to you know what we have,
it's a tough night. Yeah, but where are the animal impersonations?
(30:10):
What happened? What happened? But where's the Boston Burper when
you need the Boston Burper?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
You know?
Speaker 15 (30:15):
Like like the acts that we've had comparatively Voice of
an Angel. But you know, I'm partial to parodies and
I would have liked to hear like a bon Jovi
parody with Ben Maller lyrics.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
That's right, original lyrics that would have helped absolutely.
Speaker 15 (30:33):
So yeah, I would have given more points if it
was something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
So I'm gonna go with six six all right, very good? Well,
thank you Kelly in de Moine. I appreciate you taking
part in it. It's not easy to get up here
on stage and perform, and you're doing that. It's the
Malad Paloser twenty twenty five. As we continue our next
act up, a last minute addition to the show, and
he's in Camsuh City. You're welcome in man that loves
(31:01):
alcohol and loves to tell you about his love of alcohol.
Our next act up, a guy that never misses a
chance to rip the Patriots and Tom Brady because he
loves Patrick Mahomes and the chiefs keg drinking Steve is.
Speaker 12 (31:15):
Oh yeah, it's about to get a lot for man here.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
You put the.
Speaker 14 (31:23):
APV call out like Bruce Wayne Batman's here to save
you with the with the animal calls. We're gonna do uh,
We're gonna do hog calling tonight, the annual hog call,
the annual Ben Maller hog Call. All right, the greatest
show on Earth, the Malapalooza twenty twenty five.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
Okay, here we go. When it's whole calling time on
Ben Meller, When it's whole calling time on the Mailler,
(32:04):
when it calling time y? Is it time calling Dome?
Now it's Tall calling dime on Ben ballor o Lona?
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Is the decree.
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Bronco Ben entering the calls from the militia wa Ben
cheating at game shows where he goes no one knows.
Then it's Tall calling dime on Ben Ballard twenty five.
Speaker 18 (32:49):
On Colora is cake drinking Steeve there from Kansas City?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Ain't good? Terror your thoughts on our next? I knew
that good?
Speaker 16 (33:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Last factor.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I'm giving it a seven seven.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
All right, listen, here's a deal. He did not sign
up Key Drinking Steve. He was not supposed to be
part of this. He's a last minute substitution. He's on
he was on standby, and so he didn't plan this out.
He had said he might do it, and we didn't
put him on the list and all that stuff. So
I thought it was much more in line with what
we want from the talent show. I thought the malapalooza,
(33:36):
this is more about it. You know, we want animal sounds,
we want original kind of lyrics and all that. So
I am going to give it an eight point five,
eight point five Larina.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
Great score there, benh Yeah, No, I thought that was
absolutely fantastic. I was laughing the whole time. His pig
it almost sounded like a holler in James snort.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
I was like, are you going to choke? Are you
going to choke? And then he kept going, yes, kept
on going. The squeal was amazing.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
So let's let's give him.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
Yeah, I'm right up with you.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Let's go for an eight and eight. All right, eight,
what about you, Coop.
Speaker 15 (34:13):
I'm also I was also impressed with the fact that
this was like a spur of the moment thing.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
It was pretty funny.
Speaker 15 (34:19):
I was laughing, much to my chagrin, because I do
think ket drinking Steve is one of the most annoying callers.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
That we have.
Speaker 15 (34:26):
He's pretty bad. Yeah, can't can't stand him. So I
might be a little bit biased. I maybe would have
given a higher score if not for those things. I
know I should be judging just on the you know,
performance itself. I'm gonna give a seven. A seven, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
My wife suffers from missophony, as she said it was
a five because she was annoyed by the sound. All right,
very nice. We'll hold on there, incertear. We have I
believe our friend from Kansas, ready to go, Eric and Kansas.
We'll get to him. We have some other great actually
listening to our live coverage, it's the twenty twenty five

Speaker 6 (38:42):
That was fantastic, great guitar playing. Was there a harmonica
at the end of the night? Touch uh so? And
you know, great lyrics, very emotional. I'm going to give
it my high score. I'm going to.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Nine a nine, all right, nine from mink itear so
let me make sure I write there nine there, all right, listen.
I loved it. Ohio was one of my favorites. I'm biased,
I admitted, I don't care. I'm the biased East German judge.
He's like one of my Communist brothers. I loved it
and it was very entertaining. The only thing it was
(39:17):
pre recorded, which you know that is allowed. It wasn't
auto tune or anything like that. I'm gonna give it
a nine point five, and nine point five is my score.
Oh what about you? Lorena?
Speaker 16 (39:31):
Wow?
Speaker 9 (39:32):
Let me just start with a wow.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
I was so in that. I don't know if you
guys felt that was good. I felt in my boats if.
Speaker 9 (39:39):
There was a can, my candles would have been in
the air with my hands. You know what I'm saying.
That was amazing, really good, absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Nine. What did I say, Candle candle to the wind
like a concert that he's a lighter. Maybe that was
a memorial. You're right, it was probably death and he
was celebrating death. We've had enough people died that listen
to the show. I go ahead there, please, Coop. You
know I might get some hate for this. Oh, here
we go. This is where Coop's a bad judge.
Speaker 6 (40:10):
No.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I liked it. It was great. But there's a button
that's everything discounted before the way. But but we have
heard him do it to that tune before. But it's
like a classic song that you updated lyrics. It's updated lyrics. Yes, okay,
but I I hurry on. I want to hear something different.
So I'm going to give it a nat An.
Speaker 15 (40:30):
Eight.
Speaker 1 (40:30):
Oh my god, the wife said ten. She said it's
a ten, all right? Uh, well, very nice. Ohio. I
loved it. I thought it was great. I think I'm
pretty sure, Ohio, Owe's in the lead now as we
have one hour yeah, your number one, one hour to
go and the mouth of polls, Oh my god, who's
going to be the big winner
Dilly dilly. It's our numb birth three, our number three,
and we break it down for you NBA style here
in our number three. What grade do you give the
Lakers for adding Darden Marcus Smart over the weekend of
Former Celtic. Does this edition of Marcus Smart Smart Phil
(00:20):
the void for the Lakers? We'll talk about that also,
the Malor Palooza twenty twenty five continues. We will get
to more of the acts that you want in this
special edition of the podcast. Right now here it is
give it up for our number three. It's being called
a smart move. That's the headline, but is it really
(00:43):
a smart move? Welcome in the beginning of another hour
of the Ben Mallor Show. It is a malar Paloosa
kind of night. We are in the air everywhere, as
you are alongside as we unlock the magic. This is
gonna be the hour that we unlock the magic. Absolutely
(01:04):
correct here coast to coast, border to border and beyond
on the mast and unrealistically powerful microphones of FSR AMMA
nating live from the pit, the Pit of curiosities, that
is the Malard Palooza from the Fox Sports Radio Studios
as approved. They're listening on the other side, Calligan Tim
(01:28):
in Michigan and our friend Rachel Amontibello. You know they're
tuning into this on the other you can get to
these stage because radio goes out forever. It probably goes
to the other side. Anyway, our lead this hour and
we will get back to the malaplus. If you're just
joining us, We've been on the Red Eye flight all night.
It's a Vaudvillian type flight, a lot of entertainment. I
(01:49):
say that we're lacking the entertainment. We're trying. We're trying
the efforts. This is gonna be the hour. This is
like the turning point. This is where it gets good.
The Malard Palooza biggest event of the year and overnight
sports rate. These are real people, men and women and
children that are just like you, and they've stayed up
and they've provided us with jokes and comedy, some not
funny impersonations, rap. We've had some freestyle we have not had.
(02:14):
We did have the beginning act was Milkman, who did
some impersonations. We normally get a lot of impersonations. We
haven't had any animal impersonations. We've not had that. So
there's some things that we've had in the past that
we have not had yet. Will that change? Stay tuned
developing hot dot dot. So our lead this hour though
mini male monologu or lead this hour is from pro
(02:35):
Bouncy Ball. And while we were away from the watchtower
guarding the overnight, the graveyard shift, there was a move
of note. I am told the managers say.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
You better mention this. You're not gonna mention it. It's
a good move. You won't bring it up. You're a hater, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
So while we were away from guiding you through the overnight,
the rare and appropriate night off and then a couple
of nights off, so several of you reached out. So see,
this is another smart move, savvy move. But let's get
to if you missed it, and maybe you did. The Lakers.
That's a basketball team, not a good one. So the
(03:14):
Lakers added journeyman garden Marcus Smart. They added him over
the weekend. You might remember Marcus Smart played with the
Celtics and was on some good Celtic teams and won
some awards there while he played in Boston. He was
just bought out by the Wizards. The Washington Wizards said
bye bye, to Marcus Smart because apparently they even have standards.
(03:37):
Now the Washington Wizards have standards. What is going on
in the world? The Celtics cast off Since leaving Boston,
he played in Memphis and in Washington. Now he's headed
to La La Land to play for the other team
in la And yet again my inbox. When it wasn't
Blind Scott filling up my inbox, it was Laker historians
(04:00):
convinced yet again that Rob Polenka skinny jeans. Rob Polenka
has solved the Rubik's Cube of basketball. And he did
it with his eyes closed. What a savvy move, a
one historian. I forget the gentleman's name. Maybe I intentionally
forget his name, but he wrote.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
The Clipper's got Bradley Beale and he stinks because he
can't shoot anymore. But Marcus Smart he never could shoot,
but he'll always be able to play defense. You know
that kind of thing. That was the vibe.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
So let us discuss the question is this what grade?
What grade do you give the Lakers for adding Marcus Smart?
So Remetter, it's a mini mall of monologue. So I've
got Lionel Richie and smoke detector and we will combine
all these things together and hopefully we'll get an entertaining
act in the Mallard Palooza. But first of all, let's
(04:52):
start with this Marcus Smart. He's one of those guys
that has the name. Does he have the game? And
I would argue at this point he doesn't let me
translate that in modern tech terms so you can relate
to it. The Lakers just added a flip phone. Now,
(05:15):
there was a time if you had a flip phone,
you were pretty cool, like, oh man, you got a
flip phone. But they're adding that, and they're using that
in a world with like chat, GPT and all that
stuff and folding screens on phones and all that. It's
Marcus Smart is a cracked screen type defender in a
(05:36):
league that now uses face ID technology. Is what he
is is still using the passcodes and all that rotaryfon
I can go on a rotary phone and a FaceTime
world and all this stuff. Now, listen, Marcus Smart. Are
there going to be times where Marcus Smart is a
lunatic jumping for loose balls? Absolutely? Is he going to
(05:58):
clap his hands like an absolute maniac after making a
defensive play forcing a jump ball or something like that.
Of course he will. He'll pick up full court defense
in in game number forty nine of the regular season,
he will play that game like it's Game seven of
the NBA Finals. He will, all right, And when you
(06:20):
give him the ball, though, right, here's the problem. When
you give Marcus Smart the ball and the defense, it's
like Russell Westbrook, like where the defenses all right, shoot Marcus,
shoot Marcus and then que the lionel Ritchie Commodore's tune
(06:40):
brick house. Yet one brick after another, right clankny clank
clank from Marcus Smart. And so all those hustle plays,
all of them go away, because Marcus Smart will absolutely
kill you on the offensive side. You are literally playing
shorthanded with Marcus Smart. On offense. The man treats the
(07:03):
three point line like it's a personal dare, which it
often is from the defense, and he keeps shooting. Now,
he is one of those glue guys, heart and soul guys.
Marcus Smart. That's the kind of player, which is we
all know his code for can't shoot. Does other things,
but can't shoot, And you don't want to say those
(07:23):
other things he can't do out loud, so you just
say hustle hert and soul guy, glue guy. But I
will give this on the MALA report card. I give
this a C a C move impact minimal capital m minimal,
minimal impact from Marcus Smart and like all moves that
(07:43):
the historians make, like way too much hype, way too
much hype. And this is the guy that chut thirty
nine percent last season on a bad team. You should
always play better on a bad team because somebody's got
to score points, and they usually the games are blowouts
(08:04):
and they just leave you open. And he still shot
thirty nine percent from the field. And yet he's being
treated like he maked every three point shot. But yet
I when I watched him, even going back to his
salad days with the Celtics, and he's a guy when
he makes a three pointer, he's like, wow, that's amazing.
He doesn't usually do that. You know, he makes one
(08:26):
about as often as a birthday candle stays lit when
it's in a wind tunnel. Doesn't happen. Now. Secondly, does
this addition of Marcus Smart phil a void for the Lakers?
Phill the foid? Well, A lot of people are saying yes,
this is what they needed. Obviously, I don't believe that.
I'm on the other side here. They do need shooting.
(08:49):
They need to get a little bit younger, I would
say being fair here, got to improve the second unit.
There are people saying Marcus Smart's going to be a
starting player for the Lakers. I mean, that does not
seem like a wise move if he's in your starting lineup,
and I mean the second unit. Now you look at
(09:09):
the Lakers, they have no depth. JJ Reddick, the podcast guy,
remember that playoff game against Minnesota where he just played
all of his starters like pretty much the entire second
and he's like, well, these guys on the bench blow
And I look at the Lakers right now, in that
second unit, it still looks like a bad YMCA team
(09:30):
on a Thursday night rec matchup. Keep part of that wreck.
And so what is Marcus Martin? He is a guy
that can't shoot. He is an aging one trick guy.
He's a defensive specialist. And that's what you've had it.
If he's so vital, so vital, why did Boston ship
(09:54):
him out and instantly win a championship without him? When
they added Drew Holliday, they got I rid of this guy,
and then they went out to Celtics and won a championship.
Even though Marcus Smartt was part of the fabric of
the Celtics, he had his own Cereal. I remember doing
a bit on the show about Wicked Smots, Wicked Smots
(10:14):
the Cereal. This guy loved the Celtics so much he
dyed his hair green while he played for the Boston Celtics.
And yet they got rid of him and they improved
so and now he's older, so good luck on that.
He went to Memphis, went to Washington and the only
other team like Washington, like they're desperate for anyone that
(10:35):
knows how to play. At this point, our buddy Rick
and Maryland morning time. He's going to be on the Wizards.
They're so bad. And they decided here's a guy that
was a Defensive Player of the Year in the NBA,
one of the highest honors you can get, the MVP
of defense, and the Wizards all like you, listen, we
don't even want you around here to mentor our g
league lottery pick roster. You know all these lottery picks. Oh,
(10:57):
I can't miss it until he get the Washington and
then most of them suck. So Marcus is thirty one,
which is not old turn it's thirty two during the season,
but by sports lingo, you're getting up there, and so
that's what you do. Well. He brings leadership, okay, so
Byron Scott you can bring him back, Magic Johnson, Derek Fisher,
they would all bring leadership as well. But this is
(11:18):
a desperate move by the Lakers. They the guys they
wanted didn't want to play for them, and so they're
stuck picking through the discount rack and they're still embarrassed
that they wanted Bradley Beal. Everyone wanted him, and he
chose the Clippers. He didn't choose the Lakers, he chose
the Clippers. So picking Marcus smart up. It's one of
those things it feels like you're replacing batteries in the
(11:43):
smoke detector and the house is already a blaze, while
you're like, maybe I should change the batteries and the
smell the houses aren't in fire. I noway, I just
want to He will get the crowd hype. There'll be
some moments where he looks really good and flashback and
all that and wonderful, and you say, you know, hell yeah,
let's go. We got Marcus Smart, and I will just
sit back and wait. I will sit back and wait
(12:05):
because I know Neville, you'll have to if you get
to the playoffs. Playoffs, you get to the playoffs, that
is when he will kill you. He'll break your heart.
The offense will stall. Teams will dare Marcus Smart to
shoot from pre point range, and he will and he'll miss,
and then the Nuggets will go on a fourteen to
two run because he keeps missing. And Marcus Smart will
(12:28):
jump for loose balls and he might get some of them,
but he won't get all of them, and he'll keep
shooting rather than past the ball to luc Will. He
will take over the game and clank atty clank just
all over the place. So good luck with that. It
is the Ben Mahlor Show. It is the Mallor Palooser
(12:51):

without talent. We're proving that here so far. A couple
hours in the acts continuing give us real time feedback
on the X Machine at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mala.
(15:05):
Lorena is one of our judges as well. Sailler, her
wow A, FSR Tech, win Kooper Loop at Bronco Fan
and our friend Inca Terror can check out his musical
performances musical stylings at Incowarrior dot com. A legends performed
(15:26):
all over the world with his skills on the piano.
And now back to it all, right, back to what
we go. The great Inca Terror Inca fired up here
a new new hour. It's gonna get good now. The
we did have one person dropout so far, Mark the
full name Guy Inca is out. He says, hey, he apologized.
(15:49):
He must withdraw from the entertainment. He says he's liable
to draw some serious complaints about the noise level where
he's living. So sadly, he says, minds possibilities to have
a stain from the malleplus. I am truly sorry, and
that's fine. That's the way you do it. You can't
understand stuff comes up. Mark the fold name Guy a
(16:10):
great entertainer on the show, but unfortunately will not be
part of the Mallard Paloozer. So we have that Mike
the Leprechaun, he is said. Kathy and Madison played a
solid mandolin. Tammy and Montana's solid poet.
Speaker 6 (16:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
He says, the best acts are coming soon. I guess
that means he thinks his act is going to be
uh huh, I'm sure he does. Yeah, all right, we'll
see what see what happens there now, Trucker Joe says,
I'm not gonna lie mallor so far, this this Mallard
Palooza is shaping up to be the worst one ever,
says Trucker Joe. Man, I mean he's gonna have to
(16:46):
send us some moonshine as a parting gift. My god,
Joe the ghost owner says, very disappointed. Kathy and Madison
did not sing.
Speaker 6 (16:53):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Kathy did say, though. She said, I was sick at
the time, so I could not sing, So my main
Lynn was doing the singing for me. She says, there
you go. She said, that was my first emission where
I didn't sing. She said, inca, thank you for the
compliment on my finger work. Yes, that was my mandolin,
(17:15):
says Kathy. So Kathy in Masson, let's get back to it.
Our next act, we welcome in a man that got
me in trouble with management here at Fox Sports Radio.
He lives in the Boston area. He showed up twelve
hours before his scheduled in studio appearance, getting angry messages
(17:38):
from management complaining, why is this lunatic who's dressed like
a leprechaun in our building? We give it up now
to the one and only a man that bribed all
of us with gift cards. And let's say hello to
Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 7 (17:58):
And my doctor my animal acts.
Speaker 8 (18:00):
Anyways, my main song today is a roast, a Boston.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Song in honor of Norm from Tears, and it called
for everyone knows your name.
Speaker 7 (18:10):
My kids help me.
Speaker 8 (18:10):

Speaker 1 (18:14):
And Ben, you better not give me a minus tenda
shirt please?

you like to get your way?
Speaker 10 (18:48):
All?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Its nor from Holly James Jeddy Flens He talks too
best your ain Joe Larnana on the cata By's Jay
about By It's.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
It did rib and they're always you.
Speaker 12 (19:20):
Want to be for comin.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
All ride there he is what an amazing Mike the Leprechaun,
which it sounds like he was playing something on his phone.
It would rather him just squeeze the chicken for ninety Wow,
come on now, please, that's meetings there. Unbelievable, Okay, Mike
the Leprechaun anchored terror. It sounded like he was played
something on his phone or another phone or his computer.
(19:49):
But he he could have just sent that in. He
didn't need to do that. He could have just submitted it.
And there are people claiming now that might have been
a I there are people saying that, so anchor to
your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
It did sound a bit auto tuned at least, But
you know, the idea was better than I expected. So
I'm going to give him a number two.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Number two from the Great Inca. Well, listen, I really
enjoyed meeting, much to the dismay of many people. Mike
the Leprekhan. I know he's a polarizing figure of the Malamosa.
I thought he was charming. I thought he was polite,
he was nice. He's a super fan of the show,
and he kind of this guy stays up every night
writing notes while he's on hold or whatever for the show. Like,
(20:36):
that's dedication to the show. That's what we want. We
want people that committed the show. And I love that
about him, and I hate the fact he almost got
me fired by showing up twelve hours early. But I'm
not going to give you a minus ten, Mike the
leprecun I'm going to be completely fair here. I'm going
to give you a zero. You get a zero, So
(20:56):
congratulations there, Mike the Leprechaun, which is ten points better
than your score last year, Lorena.
Speaker 9 (21:05):
In my opinion, Ben, he's qualified for using AI. I
know for a fact that was not him singing. I
know for a fact he was not playing the instruments
in the song. As far as I'm concerned. Yeah, he's
outed because he didn't actually do anything.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Okay, so you're back to your and what's there's no score?
Then no score, no qualifying So zero, okay, zero, I'll
put to very the watch of two. My wife says too,
So what about you, koobloo Uh? That might have been
the worst thing I've ever heard of my life. Well,
(21:39):
just stay tuned, buddy, we got another hour and a half.
I'm gonna go with zero, all right, So look at
that three. Zero's and aink and my wife. He got
a four, he got four. I love you, Mike the Lepreca. Okay,

been a legend in the Malard militia for for a
long time, and he's a reverend, but not that kind

Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right, all right, all right, right, all right, all right,
Reverend Ray Green, Reverend Ray there. I don't know what
you do. I don't know what you do with this
inka terror, but you your thoughts on a bit of
a poetry thing at the beginning and then he broke
into song, and the song was so good the dog
(24:46):
almost died there in the background. So I don't know
what to do with that.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
I well, he was he was a bob doing it.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Was Bob building of weed. Yes, the Bob building the weed.
Speaker 6 (24:58):
Yeah, he made me laugh hysterically.
Speaker 12 (25:03):
So I'm giving him a five.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Five wow, a shocking score from Inkotaro. Now, I do
enjoy that. The Reverend Ray has been a big support
of the show for many, many years, and I was
going to give him a zero, but I did like
the fact the dog was so upset. The dog kept
barking to try to get him to shut up. So
I'm gonna give him a three. I'm gonna I'm gonna
give him three. Lorena, Oh my gosh, the dog.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
I'm so glad it was a Chihuahwa because I feel
like it added so much more, especially since the whole
thing was about weed, Like I imagine the dog just
stoned out of its mind.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Right secondhand smoke. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (25:39):
Yeah, so due to their duo and we weren't expecting
another animal in the tonight dog, Yeah, I'm gonna go
for a six.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
I loved it.
Speaker 11 (25:49):
I loved it.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Oh my Cooper Loop, Please are your thoughts here, Coop?
On the Reverend Ray.
Speaker 15 (25:54):
Green, I liked the Little the Little Prelude. I felt
like that actually had kind of better flow and rhyme
than the song itself. But then ever since Inkatara said
the Bob Dylan, I'm kind of I hear that. I
hear the folks see in the lyrics, and his voice
(26:16):
is just about as good as Bob Dylan's. So wow,
I enjoyed it. And you know what, come on, don't
do it my fellow Stoner brother. I'm gonna give him
a seven.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Oh my god, protest, protest, protest. The wife says it too,
by the way, she's going to she gave She gave
Reverendrad the same score as Mike the Leprechaun. They both
got a two. Okay, all right, Wow, the fun continues.
You're listening to our live coverage Themalapalooza twenty twenty five.
As we are rolling on and up next a another
(26:50):
female act here on the Mala Plusa. And now she
started calling the show from Nashville. She was Donut Kelly
from Nashville, and she had actually now is in a
relationship with another fan of the show in Des Moines.
She moved from Nashville to Des Moines and now Here
to represent the Malord Militia. As someone has been listening
(27:12):
in multiple cities. She's originally from Seattle. Let's give it
up to our friend Kelly, who is up next on
the Malor Balosa five. And Kelly, the floor is yours, Hi, Ben, Hello,
how are we doing? If I was any better, you
would not be asking me how I'm doing.
Speaker 15 (27:33):
I know?
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Here we go?
Speaker 16 (27:36):
Okay, Well, I walk the streets allone, six string on
my back.
Speaker 17 (27:48):
I played for Keiths so that I might not make
it back. I've been everywhere still service talk, a million prayings,
and I've robbed them all. I'm a cowboy on a
(28:08):
deal hour time run. I'm wanted little Anne. That's all
I got it.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, all right, short and sweet brevity. There's a Kelly
in des Moines. And let's go right to the judge
of score cards and we go back to Inka terror
and she had some music in the buggers you're singing.
I thought it was actually compared to what's happened recently,
I thought it was pretty good.
Speaker 6 (28:39):
I agree, I agree. You know, my my only my
only problem. Is. I mean, she was, well, she's intentionally
referencing America's team there, and I don't know what that was,
but that's a great song. I'm going to give her
a six and a half.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Six and a half from Inka Terror. Well, boy, what
a great spot to be in. She follows Mike the
Leprechaun and Reverend Ray Green. That is what you want there.
You look wonderful following those those two acts. So listen.
I liked the song, as you said, they're in Katara.
I thought that was pretty good. I thought compared to
(29:16):
what we've gotten recently, which was a zero and a
three by me, but it was not I was not great.
I'll give it a five. I'll give it a five. Arena.
Speaker 9 (29:25):
You know, I love my cowboys, Ben. Maybe that was
a shout out to them, but I don't think it
pushed from your diaphragm. Get that force in there.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
I want you to feel it down your feeling bo
saying yeah, but.
Speaker 9 (29:39):
You know the effort was there and just you know,
getting up and doing it. So I'm going to give
her a five point five.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Five point five, all right, my wife, clearly losing your mind.
Give it eight eight? Okay, what's in the vending machine.
Go ahead there? Cool please? Uh? I I liked it.
I mean, look compared to you know what we have,
it's a tough night. Yeah, but where are the animal impersonations?
(30:10):
What happened? What happened? But where's the Boston Burper when
you need the Boston Burper?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
You know?
Speaker 15 (30:15):
Like like the acts that we've had comparatively Voice of
an Angel. But you know, I'm partial to parodies and
I would have liked to hear like a bon Jovi
parody with Ben Maller lyrics.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
That's right, original lyrics that would have helped absolutely.
Speaker 15 (30:33):
So yeah, I would have given more points if it
was something like that.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
So I'm gonna go with six six all right, very good? Well,
thank you Kelly in de Moine. I appreciate you taking
part in it. It's not easy to get up here
on stage and perform, and you're doing that. It's the
Malad Paloser twenty twenty five. As we continue our next
act up, a last minute addition to the show, and
he's in Camsuh City. You're welcome in man that loves
(31:01):
alcohol and loves to tell you about his love of alcohol.
Our next act up, a guy that never misses a
chance to rip the Patriots and Tom Brady because he
loves Patrick Mahomes and the chiefs keg drinking Steve is.
Speaker 12 (31:15):
Oh yeah, it's about to get a lot for man here.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
You put the.
Speaker 14 (31:23):
APV call out like Bruce Wayne Batman's here to save
you with the with the animal calls. We're gonna do uh,
We're gonna do hog calling tonight, the annual hog call,
the annual Ben Maller hog Call. All right, the greatest
show on Earth, the Malapalooza twenty twenty five.
Speaker 12 (31:44):
Okay, here we go. When it's whole calling time on
Ben Meller, When it's whole calling time on the Mailler,
(32:04):
when it calling time y? Is it time calling Dome?
Now it's Tall calling dime on Ben ballor o Lona?
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Is the decree.
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Bronco Ben entering the calls from the militia wa Ben
cheating at game shows where he goes no one knows.
Then it's Tall calling dime on Ben Ballard twenty five.
Speaker 18 (32:49):
On Colora is cake drinking Steeve there from Kansas City?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Ain't good? Terror your thoughts on our next? I knew
that good?
Speaker 16 (33:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (33:12):
Last factor.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I'm giving it a seven seven.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
All right, listen, here's a deal. He did not sign
up Key Drinking Steve. He was not supposed to be
part of this. He's a last minute substitution. He's on
he was on standby, and so he didn't plan this out.
He had said he might do it, and we didn't
put him on the list and all that stuff. So
I thought it was much more in line with what
we want from the talent show. I thought the malapalooza,
(33:36):
this is more about it. You know, we want animal sounds,
we want original kind of lyrics and all that. So
I am going to give it an eight point five,
eight point five Larina.
Speaker 9 (33:46):
Great score there, benh Yeah, No, I thought that was
absolutely fantastic. I was laughing the whole time. His pig
it almost sounded like a holler in James snort.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
It was pretty good.
Speaker 9 (33:55):
I was like, are you going to choke? Are you
going to choke? And then he kept going, yes, kept
on going. The squeal was amazing.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
So let's let's give him.
Speaker 9 (34:04):
Yeah, I'm right up with you.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
Let's go for an eight and eight. All right, eight,
what about you, Coop.
Speaker 15 (34:13):
I'm also I was also impressed with the fact that
this was like a spur of the moment thing.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
It was pretty funny.
Speaker 15 (34:19):
I was laughing, much to my chagrin, because I do
think ket drinking Steve is one of the most annoying callers.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
That we have.
Speaker 15 (34:26):
He's pretty bad. Yeah, can't can't stand him. So I
might be a little bit biased. I maybe would have
given a higher score if not for those things. I
know I should be judging just on the you know,
performance itself. I'm gonna give a seven. A seven, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
My wife suffers from missophony, as she said it was
a five because she was annoyed by the sound. All right,
very nice. We'll hold on there, incertear. We have I
believe our friend from Kansas, ready to go, Eric and Kansas.
We'll get to him. We have some other great actually

auto tune or anything like that. I'm gonna give it

That was amazing, really good, absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Nine. What did I say, Candle candle to the wind
