Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
We head now to Wisconsin, where the cheese is fresh
and the basketball is bad. There are no no Giannis
Adentacumbo trade talks for the Bucks right now. However, a
lot of noise around the NBA that that will likely
happen in the near future. Can you unravel what all
this means? Also? Can you explain why Paul George was
(00:29):
booed mercilessly by the Clipper fans in his return with
Philadelphia and NBA viewership continues to decline? What's wrong with
the product? We'll talk about that and more right now here.
It is our number three. Is the freak about to
(00:50):
leave town? Welcome? In the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are in the air everywhere, whether you like it
or not, beside one another as we build strong muscles
in your ear, drums coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast, and overwhelmingly powerful microphones of
(01:20):
FSR emminating live from the tails.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
As we give you tales from the audio turf. We're
broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommented installers. Tyract dot com the way that tire buying
(01:49):
shureb Yes, I think og Artpuffin has sent about ten
thousand messages out to promote the show, and for that
we are grateful. For that, we are grateful. But our
lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball. We go
(02:10):
to the Cream City. The Milwaukee Bucks are not only
a basketball team. They blow there. She blows one and
six to begin. The announces a small sample size and
they'll win their share of games. You would assume. However,
the Bucks in this moment in time, this little shot
(02:32):
of time, are terrible, and there's a lot of finger
pointing going on and it's not my fault, this guy's
fault blah blah blah blah blah. And they've got a
lot of the salarycap issues. Oh woe is me. They
don't have any draft picks like draft picks play. Come on, So,
if you've not been following this, you know I love
(02:52):
the losing locker room. The better stories in the losing
locker room. And so we're hearing a lot of noise
out in Milwaukee about saying bite bye to franchise headliner
Yannis Adenta Coombo. Now, this is not a drill, and
this is likely the beginning of many Mallard monologues that
will become the obligatory Mallard monologue about the future of Yannis.
(03:17):
Is he ready to leave? Are things going so bad
so moldy in Milwaukee that he wants out? Now we're
told that nothing is imminent, nothing's gonna happen today or tomorrow. Nevertheless,
the people that claim to know, the people that say
they know what's going on, are pointing towards the eventual
(03:41):
divorce for the Greek freak, that he will exit stage
right and he'll go somewhere else, and the divorce is
gonna happen on the horizon with the Bucks. So let
us discuss the question there. Well, there are again, I want
to stress this, there are no current at this moment
(04:02):
trade conversations about GIANNISI Dan to Cumbo leaving the Bucks.
That the chatter is it will pick up as the
season goes on, and that something will likely happen in
the not too distant future. So can you unravel what
all this means? So I've got jay Z laundromat and reprogrammed,
(04:24):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a toaster oven. Is what
we're gonna make, all right, So first of all, just
the one on the same wavelength here, it's relatively straightforward,
relatively straightforward. This is the point of conception. This is
where the rumor starts, and it goes away, goes dormant
(04:49):
for a while, and then it comes back. It comes back.
The Bucks are playing like a bunch of klucks right now,
right bock chicken. They have suck at a time you
cannot suck. And you talk about getting the full Doc Rivers,
the full Doc Rivers experience, you're getting it. Everything that
(05:12):
can go wrong has gone wrong now. Normally, to be
fair to Doc, what up? Doc? Doc is just bad
at everything. I don't know if you heard what he
said about the presidential election, you couldn't have been more
wrong about that, and this as well, just coaching the team. Normally,
for Doc Rivers you wait till the playoffs for things
to unravel. But here we are, and Milwaukee is getting
(05:36):
a jump on the festivities here. Not even the playoffs
is a regular season, and they're terrible even if Milwaukee
does win their share and they're gonna win some of
these games, they're gonna lose me one and six and
that kind of team all year. This Yahnis story, Okay,
it's gonna be like a collab between jay Z and
(05:59):
Lincoln Park. Uh. The Greek freak is on a collision
course with our old friend, the transfer portal, if you will,
it's heading that way. This is the standard storyline in
the NBA. This is always how it starts. Well, no
trade is gonna happen anytime soon, however, but you know,
(06:22):
not that far away. Yeah, So start player unhappy, but
subtle about it. And then eventually the star player ends
up with the usual suspects. Team in LA, team in Miami,
maybe a team in Texas, but possibly Golden State one
(06:43):
of those teams. Stay tuned developing hot dot dot dot now. Secondly,
by request, I was not gonna talk about this, but
several of you idiots have said talking about what are
you ignoring?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're you gotta be embarrassed. Uh, okay, so what is it?
What is it? Let me explain. So I don't normally
talk about random regular season basketball games. Why would I?
Nobody watches them. They're not that interesting. But this night
different than all of the nights because Philadelphia, they're traveling
(07:17):
circus without Joel Embiid entered into the hood in Inglewood
date with the People's team, the Clippers, and that meant
a return for Paul George by George the seventy six
or small forward made his homecoming against his old team,
the Clippers. Now in the game, Norman Powell who Norman
(07:42):
Powell had twenty six points. The People's team, the Good Guys,
beat the Bad Guys one ten to ninety eight. Now
George had eighteen points. He only played twenty three minutes
in action. Philly lost the game. But during the game
the story is rather simple. Here. Paul George was sarah
by the passionate Clipper fan base with chance of PG
(08:08):
sucks PG sucks over and over again. So question, can
you explain why Paul George was booed repeatedly and over
the top boeing by the Clipper fan Can you explain? Yes?
(08:29):
So this is I'm gonna use some math. They said
there would be no math. Here's the math. Two plus
two equals four. That's the math. Okay, that's the math.
Paul George went to the laundromat, and he walked into
that laundromat and he had to take his clothes out
of the dryer, except he took someone else's clothes out
(08:50):
of the dryer. Period, hard stop. Now, Paul George likely
would have had no reaction from the fans if he
had not turned into an enemy combat And now part
of this is just he's wearing the wrong laundry. However,
Paul George wrote his own ticket to boot him. And
(09:12):
how do you write your own ticket to boot him? Well,
here's what you do. He went on his podcast and
trashed the Clippers and the Clipper fan, the top fan
of basketball in La, the real fan, the Clipper fan.
They don't forget right, they heard what Paul George podcast
p said, right, they heard what he had to say.
(09:35):
And so hey, don't choke on a cheese steak, Paul.
You're gonna be booed. That's how it works. That's how
it works. Show a little video there and all that,
and you took the money and now you can play
out as you're long in the tooth in Philly. All right,
final thought, let's go over to TV Land and the
(09:56):
NB another story out that the TV ratings are going down, down, down, down, down,
down down, a dramatic shrinkage, yes, right, dramatic shrinkage for
the NBA television product. And a lot has been said
about this. A lot of experts have chimed in that
(10:18):
the reason the reason for this is because the younger
generation of star players are not They're not popular. People
don't like them, they don't like them the way they
like Steph Curry or Lebron or Kevin Durant. And the
(10:38):
viewership continues to decline in the NBA. So I ask,
again a follow up to a previous mal monologue, what
is wrong with the product? So where do we begin
my position? Now, suppose of these international players we just
talked about, Giannis Nikola Jokic, they're not compelling. They don't
(11:01):
bring an audience to American television. People do not watch them.
So the headline who are the headliners? The headliners are
Aunt Edwards, Devin Booker, and the Parisian prodigy Wemby, right,
and those guys. They have not moved the needle. Even
(11:24):
though Wemby's exciting and spindlee and all that and done
things that haven't been done. Before. However, the reality is
that people aren't flocking to watch them. So I have
a theory. I have a mather theory on why the
NBA product is in the toilet. It's pretty simple. For
(11:46):
almost a decade now, the NBA has reprogrammed their customers
and now they're feeling the effects of that. Fans have
been sent over the last like ten years now. They
tried to change this last year, damage done. Fans have
been sent to re education camps. Because when I was
(12:08):
growing up, the regular season mattered. Players took pride in it,
even the All Star Game. They took pride in that right.
And these players in the NBA today have spat loogis
all over the All Star Game, all over the regular season.
It doesn't matter to them, it doesn't matter. They're incapable
(12:29):
of putting an honest effort in during the regular season.
And they have told people, via nerds and medical gurus
or into all kinds of voodoo bugaloo that you don't
need to watch the regular season, just watch the playoffs.
And if you're a player, you don't have to play
(12:51):
in the regular season, just show up for the playoffs.
It's all because of LM load management, and there are repercussions,
and we're seeing those repercussions. You reap what you sew,
and every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and
there are consequences. When you tell people don't watch, that's
(13:17):
essentially what you're saying when the star players don't show up,
don't watch. All right, it is the Ban Mahlor Show.
If you would like to comment on any of that,
you can join us here at eight seven seven ninety

away from sports, just something a little different. A famed Italian
(14:00):

famed Italian tourist destination has been selling suckers blank those
(15:34):
out of towners blank recently just started doing this, and
that is the Mallord riddle of the day. What are
they selling the out of towners here? That got my attention?
See here. Milkman Mike in Colorado says, a knockoff version
of Chef Boy r D is the answer. Yeah, so
(15:56):
that is as you know, Milkman Mike, That's what began
food Picks with Marcelle when I was working filling in
on the station in Boston and Marcel called up and
had nothing to say, and I said, what yeah for dinner?
And he said I had the Chef Boy r D.
And then that that began food Picks. That began food Picks.
Who else do we have? Let's see, Tammy in Vegas
says they are selling a knockoff version of the Ben
(16:18):
Maler chicken fingers. Yeah, well you can get those in
Kansas City on Saturday. Well you can get them right now. Oh, actually, Liberty,

At the mallor meet and greet we did in Minnesota,
they put my name up on the on the big
jumbo tron that was That was awesome right in front there.
It would have been even perfect, as you know, Eke,
if I hadn't gotten a speeding ticket on my way
to the Mermaid, that would have been perfect. But very memorable.
(17:25):
I know exact date, I know the time. It was
like four thirty in the afternoon, and you know, Ferd
Dog says a Ben Maler show bumper sticker is the
the answer? Who else you have?

of the day. A famed Italian tourist destination has been
selling blank to out of towners. It caught my attention.
(18:47):
Now let's see here. Let me go to Lorraine. You
have an answer of the rain.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
It's got to be torpedo size.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Foot longs torpedo and as Eddie said, I which he
had said that again, we were going to drop out
of it now that you ever play those drops. But no,
that is incorrect. Yeah, correct answer. Tourists can now purchase
sealed cans of lake Como air. Yes, lake Como in Italy.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
He stole my idea.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Here's what you get, thirteen and a half ounces of
pure air from what they say is the most beautiful
lake in the world. Wow, hand air. How much do
you think they're charging Loraina for a can of air?
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Sixty five dollars? Ben, was that right?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
That's an Eddy answer. Well, you gave us an Eddie answer.
You went too high. That's bad job by you. Eleven
dollars for thirteen and a half ounces of pure air.
Doesn't that seem ridiculous?
Speaker 8 (19:55):
Though this is a little underpriced. You could do better.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You were talking about selling product like this, Lorena, right,
you were going to sell something along those lines.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I was gonna do Orgon air organ air, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yes, and why don't you do it? You should do it?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Well, I haven't been to Orgon in a few months.
Been hard to get air when I'm not there.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
This air is probably made in like some factory in China.
You know what I'm saying, The same air, by the way,
the same air.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
I was gonna put a little sprig of like pine
tree in it, though, to really give.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It that that would be doctoring the No.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
No, no, no no, it'll be even more orgony.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But that's doctoring the product. I'm sure there's parts of
Oregon that smell disgusting and are terrible, like in Portland
or whatnot. Let's go to the phones and we'll say
hello to Angel, who's in Miami, Miami, Miami, Hello Angel, Well.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Hey man, how are you always listen to your show?
I don't. I don't call very much. But I talked
to you a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I think we talked. I remember we talked about
like didn't you call it? But we were talking about
like Supplians or something like that or.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
No, no, no, we I was talking to you about
nixt Shaban that he would he will leave in a
couple of years. Yeah, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And well yeah, well Nick Saban and yeah the age.
Yeah that was an easy call at some point.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Yeah yeah, no, yeah, I wasn't trying to find you know,
something I come up with. No, No, I was just
I was just saying, uh, saying that, you know, they
always talk about things like that in Miami. For for
whatever reason why he left Miami. He's just not very
welcome down here.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Well because he lied, he said I'm not I'm not
going to Alabama, and then he went to Alabama. I mean,
is that's that works?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Lie like that he didn't win with the Dolphins, had
mediocre teams when he was there, So there you go.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Yeah, yeah, definitely. We wish he got ahold of the
hurricane back then, but he went to Alabama and and
another thing that happens, and if you know, their son,
the son of Don Shula got fired because of him,
so it was even more at that time the son
of Shula was the coach, so it all added up.
(22:13):
But I want to tell you, Ben, I I listened
to your show for probably twenty years, always in Jason
Jason Smith, and I also wanted to tell you It
may not mean anything, but I want to tell you
you know who I am, how I got here real quick,
(22:35):
and if you remember the Mario lip Bote, I'm one
of those. I'm one of those that came from Cuba
like that in nineteen eighty and really, yes, yeah I am.
I am. You guys. You guys have my phone if
you ever want me to send you anything. The reason
why I tell you because my son that went to
(22:59):
the marine. Yeah, he wanted to do like a book
because I escaped the military and everything that I went
through and I didn't go I didn't go to Qua
for like thirty years before I went back to visit
for the first time. So I wanted to tell you
that and just to know a little story.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And wow, that's crazy. I remember hearing about that. I
was a kid, but that's that's wild.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Figure. Yeah, I figure I was.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I was.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
I just turned I think, and I escaped the military. Yeah,
it was, it was. It was a trill and a craziness.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
So you were for those that don't know, Like, I'm
sure Lorraina that you don't know about that, Loraina, Right,
that was before your time.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I don't think I was live.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Well yeah, yeah, so learned. But you were from like
April to October, right, you were traveling around on a
boat trying to Yeah, yeah, I mean we were.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Yeah, yeah, we were. We were. I left Cuba, the
whole process. By the time that we left, we were
lucky and not be on the water for thirteen hours,
so by the time we hit Key West. Then then
when I got there, they sent us a big group
(24:19):
to the military base in Arkansas for four chef four
chefs something I died would call, which I've been wanting
to visit. But anyway, Ben, I just wanted to tell you, Well.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Listen, that's an interesting it's a great thing. Maybe you
write the book. Let me know. I'll promo your book.
All right, write the book. You should write it, all right, sir.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
I appreciate you man, and I just wanted to tell
you that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All right, Well, thank you appreciate that. All right, that's
that's awesome. I'll do that. Remember that when I was
a kid hearing about that. It goes back to like
Jimmy Carter was the president. There. Just google it, larady
and read all read all about it.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
I'll do that later, Ben, No, you won't.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's a lie. You're not gonna You're not gonna google it.
You're not you no, no, no, you're not gonna do it.

says you forgot to ask that guy if he was
on the same boat with Scarface. Justin and Cincinnati enjoyed
that call very much. Ferg Dog Rights and says, would
you ever consider Ben selling the air from the mallor mansion.
I'd give you a five bucks for a mason jar
worth of it. Yeah, I'd be down with that. Yeah.
(25:34):
How about the air from the studios? No, who cares
about that? The man he had some skunky air in there. Well,
we did. The other day there was Yeah, there's a
skunk every once in a while. I don't think it's
the same skunk, but he gets trapped in the air
conditioning and I did smell it. It was very foul.
The other day.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Did you enjoy the smell of skunk, ben, Well, especially
natural skunk, like the ones that you run over on
the freeway.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I've heard you do like skunk, but I didn't know.
You know what ore girls? Yeah, I guess so, only
when it's light.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
It can't be too pungent.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I like the smell of gasoline. Smell of gasoline. I
like the smell of tires, like you go into a
rubber tire. Yeah, like a tire rack factory or something.
It just smells great. Yeah. I love that. I'm still
impressed that one of the we met with the tire
ract people when they became one of our big sponsors,
and they said that one of the one of the
actually more than one, but a couple of guys at
(26:25):
tire rackt They that each tire has a different smell
and that they know exactly what kind of tire it
is based on the sniff like that that would say
right there, they'd say, that's a that's a Michelin Goodyear. Yeah, Yokohama,
just like that. Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 6 (26:41):

What do we have here?
Speaker 7 (27:24):
All right?
Speaker 6 (27:24):
We're gonna start off with a question from Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Hi, cowboy killer.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
He wants to know, do you ever try to beat
the estimated time of arrival when you get directions from
your phone?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
One hundred percent? Through this all the time. I have
a very long commute from where I live now into
these studios when I come in here, and I usually
can shave anywhere from three to five minutes off. Anywhere
from three to five minutes I can shave off. The
thing that sucks is when you're trying to shave time
off and then you add time. That kills you. But
(27:54):
usually I'm good for three to five minutes. Yeah, Eddie, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
You know those those valuations or whatever based on going
the speed limit, which I never do, so yeah, I
always always beat those.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
How fast do you go? It I go eighty eighty,
I don't, I go seventy nine. I sit this well,
clearly I'm a wild man. You are. Seventy nine will
not get you? Say, eighty plus gets your ticket? What
about you? Unless you're in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I've had HP pass me on the freeway going eighty
so ma, well I got I got pulled over one
time again.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I told this story, but the cops said, that is
as long as you're going under under eighty. I won't
give tickets anything over eighty. That's it, because that's a
real ticket. They like, I'm not about over eighty. I'm
going eighty, but it's over eighty eighty. It's eighty eighty eight.
It's eighty plus. No, it's not, it is it's eighty plus. Lorena.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Well, I have this saying, Ben, if I do not

Speaker 1 (28:53):
And you don't want to be granding not a granny,
all right, And we know Coops a legendary speeder.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Rightly, Vegas is my favorite because like you get in
there and it says like five hours, and I feel
like I can cut, like, you know, if there's no traffic,
I can cut like thirty minutes off of that. But
this last drive that I had going to Vegas last weekend,
I cut ten minutes off. But then we stopped in Barstow.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And went through the drive through Barstow.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Yeah, but then I was so it ended up being
where I just kind of matched the time that I already.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Why did you go to your mo? You could have
gone to Eddie World and your mo, Heggy, Susan, you
did real food. That's an amazing They have real food there.
What are you talking about. Let me guess you went
to raising Canes in Barstow.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I didn't. I went through the McDonald's drive through, Oh
col I go to Canes in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
They've got better food at Eddie World than McDonald's. No,
they yes, they do, know, they know, they do they
But I'm surprised cool to go there because they had
that The original court from the Forum where the Lakers

Forum where the Magic and the Showtime Lakers played in

Speaker 6 (32:18):
No, I'm pulling forward.
Speaker 8 (32:20):
And I don't mean to call you about Eddie, but
I've never seen you back in here at the.
Speaker 6 (32:23):
Parking starts, I'm back in.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
I'm back in every time though, right, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
I don't even know what you drive, Ben.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I'm always get here before you.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
If it's convenient, Yes, I will, I will back into
the spot because I like the look at the front
end of my car better. I was going to quote
him on this.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I knew this.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
So when i'm someone I'm walking back up to my car.
I like to see the front of it.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'd just like to back in so it'd
make the quick accent. What's next here to ask?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Men?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Your questions are answers for the rest all the hour.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
All right, So this one, this one won't involve Manuel,
but Freddy. It wants to know Freddy, He says, is
there a time when you argue with each other where
you don't talk to each other?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But yeah, sometimes I'll get so I'll walk off. I
mean I'll leave and just like scream. But normally, no,
it's not like I remember Karen Kay before I used
to work with you. Yes, Karen would get so upset.
She would in the middle of the show. She would
turn her mic off and not talk. And she was
part of the show and it was I love her
(33:30):
to death, but it just drove me nuts. But I
would say, what do you think yet? I mean, we
were not really I mean very rarely, very rare, get
up that I said.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
But but people would might be surprised to know that
we will. Other than Cooper Lorain are in the same studio.
I'm in a different studio. You're a different studio. We
can all see each.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Other when we're different studios. We don't really talk that
much off the air to each other. Nah, No, we don't.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We have our conversations there on the air most of
the time, all right, Lorraina.
Speaker 9 (33:59):
Yeah, So the only time Ben has done this to
me is when we mess up on playing sounds.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, I go nuts because I have to find the
sound that we play often.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
And then maybe you can let me explain how I
feel about how I feel.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I don't care about your feelings, but but no, it's
very maddening because I craft the monologues and then and
then he goes.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
And talk to you and he gives you the cold shoulder,
And don't know if it feels like I just feel bad.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Well, no, I just feel like I've wasted my entire
day because I find the perfect sound bite to put
in a monologue. Look what you've done, Freddy, And then
and then and then you you're butchered. I'm like, I
spent like two hours trying to find that sound bite,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Just all right, let's let's move on to that question,
all right, Uh fird dog Hi Fergie.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
He would like to know would you rather swim in
a pool of cheese, that is my question. Or a
pool of caramel or a steeler a thief?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
What kind of cheese?
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Wow, I would I would imagine would have to be
some sort of like, you know, fun dewish cheese.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I'm going I'm going cheese, cheese. I'm going cheese. I'm
going cheese. What about you cheese? Who's gonna pick caramel?
That's disgusting. He's a little sticky. I want to know
what about you? My wife loves caramel. She might pick up,
but I'm going cheese. Yeah, we're team cheese. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 8 (35:19):
I'm dipping in the cheese and I'm taking the tortilla.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Chips with me.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Are you gonna get that gooey orange nacho cheese?
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Really nasty one?
Speaker 1 (35:27):
It's not actual cheese? No? Yeah, no, milk was hard.
But what about you?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Arrogated in like twenty minutes, coagulated you. You bring up
a good point. I was gonna say caramel because I
love caramel, But yeah, that'd be really hard to like
get out of.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Your hair everywhere. Yeah, I'd disgusting. What's next to one
of the Diddy party? As Lebron said, there ain't no
part of like a ditty party. I want working in there?
Speaker 6 (35:54):
What is that's whole? Mickey would like to know I
met I met him by the way.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
Man, he met me in a rain storm in Boston,
like not enough late midnight or something. World.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
What is the most that you have won on a
scratcher ticket?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Well, I don't play them very my My dad won
a couple thousand. I think that was it. I don't
really play them that off, man. Well you a scratcher, man,
I do, but man, usually I just win the damn ticket.
Yeah that's it, say yay man, that's not good. Oh yeah,
it's a hose job man. Yeah, yeah all right.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
Eddie Jonas Knox gave out some scratchers for Christmas last
year and I won fifty bucks, right man, that's good.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
What about you, Lorrainer?
Speaker 8 (36:32):
Yeah, I'm really great at scratchers, man. I only bought
one one once on my birthday a couple of years back.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
I want two hundred off that baby, No, so scratch
off is having.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
It was a thirty dollars card though.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
What about you? Cool?
Speaker 6 (36:46):
I won five hundred bucks once. Yeah, but I was
like seven years old.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Oh so you didn't actually when your parents come.
Speaker 6 (36:52):
On well, I bought it because it was back when
you could just walk up to You can still do that,
like the automated machines.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
So it's asked man the time for a quick question.
What a monkey sausage wants to know? What pizza topping is? Underrated? Garlic,
roasted garlic.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I'm gonna go pineapple, controversial, take controversial cake. Take there, Eddie,
I'm gonna go pineapple as well. Okay, Lorena, Oh this
is so hard.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
Hard.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Shout out here, Cooper, shout out Jeremiah, wash Blossom.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
Madame Minitial. All right, man, well, thank you boy. There's
the great Man Well and Guardata is
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number three.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
We head now to Wisconsin, where the cheese is fresh
and the basketball is bad. There are no no Giannis
Adentacumbo trade talks for the Bucks right now. However, a
lot of noise around the NBA that that will likely
happen in the near future. Can you unravel what all
this means? Also? Can you explain why Paul George was
(00:29):
booed mercilessly by the Clipper fans in his return with
Philadelphia and NBA viewership continues to decline? What's wrong with
the product? We'll talk about that and more right now here.
It is our number three. Is the freak about to
(00:50):
leave town? Welcome? In the beginning of another hour of
the Ben Mahler Show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We are in the air everywhere, whether you like it
or not, beside one another as we build strong muscles
in your ear, drums coast to coast, border to border
and beyond on the mast, and overwhelmingly powerful microphones of
(01:20):
FSR emminating live from the tails.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
As we give you tales from the audio turf. We're
broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios. Tyract dot
com will help you get there in unmatched selection, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommented installers. Tyract dot com the way that tire buying
(01:49):
shureb Yes, I think og Artpuffin has sent about ten
thousand messages out to promote the show, and for that
we are grateful. For that, we are grateful. But our
lead this hour is from pro Bouncy Ball. We go
(02:10):
to the Cream City. The Milwaukee Bucks are not only
a basketball team. They blow there. She blows one and
six to begin. The announces a small sample size and
they'll win their share of games. You would assume. However,
the Bucks in this moment in time, this little shot
(02:32):
of time, are terrible, and there's a lot of finger
pointing going on and it's not my fault, this guy's
fault blah blah blah blah blah. And they've got a
lot of the salarycap issues. Oh woe is me. They
don't have any draft picks like draft picks play. Come on, So,
if you've not been following this, you know I love
(02:52):
the losing locker room. The better stories in the losing
locker room. And so we're hearing a lot of noise
out in Milwaukee about saying bite bye to franchise headliner
Yannis Adenta Coombo. Now, this is not a drill, and
this is likely the beginning of many Mallard monologues that
will become the obligatory Mallard monologue about the future of Yannis.
(03:17):
Is he ready to leave? Are things going so bad
so moldy in Milwaukee that he wants out? Now we're
told that nothing is imminent, nothing's gonna happen today or tomorrow. Nevertheless,
the people that claim to know, the people that say
they know what's going on, are pointing towards the eventual
(03:41):
divorce for the Greek freak, that he will exit stage
right and he'll go somewhere else, and the divorce is
gonna happen on the horizon with the Bucks. So let
us discuss the question there. Well, there are again, I want
to stress this, there are no current at this moment
(04:02):
trade conversations about GIANNISI Dan to Cumbo leaving the Bucks.
That the chatter is it will pick up as the
season goes on, and that something will likely happen in
the not too distant future. So can you unravel what
all this means? So I've got jay Z laundromat and reprogrammed,
(04:24):
and we will combine all of these things together and
we are going to make a toaster oven. Is what
we're gonna make, all right, So first of all, just
the one on the same wavelength here, it's relatively straightforward,
relatively straightforward. This is the point of conception. This is
where the rumor starts, and it goes away, goes dormant
(04:49):
for a while, and then it comes back. It comes back.
The Bucks are playing like a bunch of klucks right now,
right bock chicken. They have suck at a time you
cannot suck. And you talk about getting the full Doc Rivers,
the full Doc Rivers experience, you're getting it. Everything that
(05:12):
can go wrong has gone wrong now. Normally, to be
fair to Doc, what up? Doc? Doc is just bad
at everything. I don't know if you heard what he
said about the presidential election, you couldn't have been more
wrong about that, and this as well, just coaching the team. Normally,
for Doc Rivers you wait till the playoffs for things
to unravel. But here we are, and Milwaukee is getting
(05:36):
a jump on the festivities here. Not even the playoffs
is a regular season, and they're terrible even if Milwaukee
does win their share and they're gonna win some of
these games, they're gonna lose me one and six and
that kind of team all year. This Yahnis story, Okay,
it's gonna be like a collab between jay Z and
(05:59):
Lincoln Park. Uh. The Greek freak is on a collision
course with our old friend, the transfer portal, if you will,
it's heading that way. This is the standard storyline in
the NBA. This is always how it starts. Well, no
trade is gonna happen anytime soon, however, but you know,
(06:22):
not that far away. Yeah, So start player unhappy, but
subtle about it. And then eventually the star player ends
up with the usual suspects. Team in LA, team in Miami,
maybe a team in Texas, but possibly Golden State one
(06:43):
of those teams. Stay tuned developing hot dot dot dot now. Secondly,
by request, I was not gonna talk about this, but
several of you idiots have said talking about what are
you ignoring?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're you gotta be embarrassed. Uh, okay, so what is it?
What is it? Let me explain. So I don't normally
talk about random regular season basketball games. Why would I?
Nobody watches them. They're not that interesting. But this night
different than all of the nights because Philadelphia, they're traveling
(07:17):
circus without Joel Embiid entered into the hood in Inglewood
date with the People's team, the Clippers, and that meant
a return for Paul George by George the seventy six
or small forward made his homecoming against his old team,
the Clippers. Now in the game, Norman Powell who Norman
(07:42):
Powell had twenty six points. The People's team, the Good Guys,
beat the Bad Guys one ten to ninety eight. Now
George had eighteen points. He only played twenty three minutes
in action. Philly lost the game. But during the game
the story is rather simple. Here. Paul George was sarah
by the passionate Clipper fan base with chance of PG
(08:08):
sucks PG sucks over and over again. So question, can
you explain why Paul George was booed repeatedly and over
the top boeing by the Clipper fan Can you explain? Yes?
(08:29):
So this is I'm gonna use some math. They said
there would be no math. Here's the math. Two plus
two equals four. That's the math. Okay, that's the math.
Paul George went to the laundromat, and he walked into
that laundromat and he had to take his clothes out
of the dryer, except he took someone else's clothes out
(08:50):
of the dryer. Period, hard stop. Now, Paul George likely
would have had no reaction from the fans if he
had not turned into an enemy combat And now part
of this is just he's wearing the wrong laundry. However,
Paul George wrote his own ticket to boot him. And
(09:12):
how do you write your own ticket to boot him? Well,
here's what you do. He went on his podcast and
trashed the Clippers and the Clipper fan, the top fan
of basketball in La, the real fan, the Clipper fan.
They don't forget right, they heard what Paul George podcast
p said, right, they heard what he had to say.
(09:35):
And so hey, don't choke on a cheese steak, Paul.
You're gonna be booed. That's how it works. That's how
it works. Show a little video there and all that,
and you took the money and now you can play
out as you're long in the tooth in Philly. All right,
final thought, let's go over to TV Land and the
(09:56):
NB another story out that the TV ratings are going down, down, down, down, down,
down down, a dramatic shrinkage, yes, right, dramatic shrinkage for
the NBA television product. And a lot has been said
about this. A lot of experts have chimed in that
(10:18):
the reason the reason for this is because the younger
generation of star players are not They're not popular. People
don't like them, they don't like them the way they
like Steph Curry or Lebron or Kevin Durant. And the
(10:38):
viewership continues to decline in the NBA. So I ask,
again a follow up to a previous mal monologue, what
is wrong with the product? So where do we begin
my position? Now, suppose of these international players we just
talked about, Giannis Nikola Jokic, they're not compelling. They don't
(11:01):
bring an audience to American television. People do not watch them.
So the headline who are the headliners? The headliners are
Aunt Edwards, Devin Booker, and the Parisian prodigy Wemby, right,
and those guys. They have not moved the needle. Even
(11:24):
though Wemby's exciting and spindlee and all that and done
things that haven't been done. Before. However, the reality is
that people aren't flocking to watch them. So I have
a theory. I have a mather theory on why the
NBA product is in the toilet. It's pretty simple. For
(11:46):
almost a decade now, the NBA has reprogrammed their customers
and now they're feeling the effects of that. Fans have
been sent over the last like ten years now. They
tried to change this last year, damage done. Fans have
been sent to re education camps. Because when I was
(12:08):
growing up, the regular season mattered. Players took pride in it,
even the All Star Game. They took pride in that right.
And these players in the NBA today have spat loogis
all over the All Star Game, all over the regular season.
It doesn't matter to them, it doesn't matter. They're incapable
(12:29):
of putting an honest effort in during the regular season.
And they have told people, via nerds and medical gurus
or into all kinds of voodoo bugaloo that you don't
need to watch the regular season, just watch the playoffs.
And if you're a player, you don't have to play
(12:51):
in the regular season, just show up for the playoffs.
It's all because of LM load management, and there are repercussions,
and we're seeing those repercussions. You reap what you sew,
and every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and
there are consequences. When you tell people don't watch, that's
(13:17):
essentially what you're saying when the star players don't show up,
don't watch. All right, it is the Ban Mahlor Show.
If you would like to comment on any of that,
you can join us here at eight seven seven ninety

they selling the out of towners here? That got my attention?
See here. Milkman Mike in Colorado says, a knockoff version
of Chef Boy r D is the answer. Yeah, so
(15:56):

they put my name up on the on the big
jumbo tron that was That was awesome right in front there.
It would have been even perfect, as you know, Eke,
if I hadn't gotten a speeding ticket on my way
to the Mermaid, that would have been perfect. But very memorable.
(17:25):
I know exact date, I know the time. It was
like four thirty in the afternoon, and you know, Ferd
Dog says a Ben Maler show bumper sticker is the
the answer? Who else you have?

sealed cans of lake Como air. Yes, lake Como in Italy.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
He stole my idea.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Here's what you get, thirteen and a half ounces of
pure air from what they say is the most beautiful
lake in the world. Wow, hand air. How much do
you think they're charging Loraina for a can of air?
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Sixty five dollars? Ben, was that right?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
That's an Eddy answer. Well, you gave us an Eddie answer.
You went too high. That's bad job by you. Eleven
dollars for thirteen and a half ounces of pure air.
Doesn't that seem ridiculous?
Speaker 8 (19:55):
Though this is a little underpriced. You could do better.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You were talking about selling product like this, Lorena, right,
you were going to sell something along those lines.
Speaker 8 (20:02):
I was gonna do Orgon air organ air, yes.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Yes, and why don't you do it? You should do it?
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Well, I haven't been to Orgon in a few months.
Been hard to get air when I'm not there.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
This air is probably made in like some factory in China.
You know what I'm saying, The same air, by the way,
the same air.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
I was gonna put a little sprig of like pine
tree in it, though, to really give.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
It that that would be doctoring the No.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
No, no, no no, it'll be even more orgony.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
But that's doctoring the product. I'm sure there's parts of
Oregon that smell disgusting and are terrible, like in Portland
or whatnot. Let's go to the phones and we'll say
hello to Angel, who's in Miami, Miami, Miami, Hello Angel, Well.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
Hey man, how are you always listen to your show?
I don't. I don't call very much. But I talked
to you a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Yeah, I think we talked. I remember we talked about
like didn't you call it? But we were talking about
like Supplians or something like that or.
Speaker 7 (21:03):
No, no, no, we I was talking to you about
nixt Shaban that he would he will leave in a
couple of years. Yeah, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And well yeah, well Nick Saban and yeah the age.
Yeah that was an easy call at some point.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Yeah yeah, no, yeah, I wasn't trying to find you know,
something I come up with. No, No, I was just
I was just saying, uh, saying that, you know, they
always talk about things like that in Miami. For for
whatever reason why he left Miami. He's just not very
welcome down here.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Well because he lied, he said I'm not I'm not
going to Alabama, and then he went to Alabama. I mean,
is that's that works?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
You know?
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Lie like that he didn't win with the Dolphins, had
mediocre teams when he was there, So there you go.
Speaker 7 (21:50):
Yeah, yeah, definitely. We wish he got ahold of the
hurricane back then, but he went to Alabama and and
another thing that happens, and if you know, their son,
the son of Don Shula got fired because of him,
so it was even more at that time the son
of Shula was the coach, so it all added up.
(22:13):
But I want to tell you, Ben, I I listened
to your show for probably twenty years, always in Jason
Jason Smith, and I also wanted to tell you It
may not mean anything, but I want to tell you
you know who I am, how I got here real quick,
(22:35):
and if you remember the Mario lip Bote, I'm one
of those. I'm one of those that came from Cuba
like that in nineteen eighty and really, yes, yeah I am.
I am. You guys. You guys have my phone if
you ever want me to send you anything. The reason
why I tell you because my son that went to
(22:59):
the marine. Yeah, he wanted to do like a book
because I escaped the military and everything that I went
through and I didn't go I didn't go to Qua
for like thirty years before I went back to visit
for the first time. So I wanted to tell you
that and just to know a little story.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And wow, that's crazy. I remember hearing about that. I
was a kid, but that's that's wild.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
Figure. Yeah, I figure I was.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
I was.
Speaker 7 (23:27):
I just turned I think, and I escaped the military. Yeah,
it was, it was. It was a trill and a craziness.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
So you were for those that don't know, Like, I'm
sure Lorraina that you don't know about that, Loraina, Right,
that was before your time.
Speaker 6 (23:43):
I don't think I was live.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Well yeah, yeah, so learned. But you were from like
April to October, right, you were traveling around on a
boat trying to Yeah, yeah, I mean we were.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
Yeah, yeah, we were. We were. I left Cuba, the
whole process. By the time that we left, we were
lucky and not be on the water for thirteen hours,
so by the time we hit Key West. Then then
when I got there, they sent us a big group
(24:19):
to the military base in Arkansas for four chef four
chefs something I died would call, which I've been wanting
to visit. But anyway, Ben, I just wanted to tell you, Well.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Listen, that's an interesting it's a great thing. Maybe you
write the book. Let me know. I'll promo your book.
All right, write the book. You should write it, all right, sir.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
I appreciate you man, and I just wanted to tell
you that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
All right, Well, thank you appreciate that. All right, that's
that's awesome. I'll do that. Remember that when I was
a kid hearing about that. It goes back to like
Jimmy Carter was the president. There. Just google it, larady
and read all read all about it.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
I'll do that later, Ben, No, you won't.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's a lie. You're not gonna You're not gonna google it.

worth of it. Yeah, I'd be down with that. Yeah.
(25:34):
How about the air from the studios? No, who cares
about that? The man he had some skunky air in there. Well,
we did. The other day there was Yeah, there's a
skunk every once in a while. I don't think it's
the same skunk, but he gets trapped in the air
conditioning and I did smell it. It was very foul.
The other day.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Did you enjoy the smell of skunk, ben, Well, especially
natural skunk, like the ones that you run over on
the freeway.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I've heard you do like skunk, but I didn't know.
You know what ore girls? Yeah, I guess so, only
when it's light.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
It can't be too pungent.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I like the smell of gasoline. Smell of gasoline. I
like the smell of tires, like you go into a
rubber tire. Yeah, like a tire rack factory or something.
It just smells great. Yeah. I love that. I'm still
impressed that one of the we met with the tire
ract people when they became one of our big sponsors,
and they said that one of the one of the
actually more than one, but a couple of guys at
(26:25):
tire rackt They that each tire has a different smell
and that they know exactly what kind of tire it
is based on the sniff like that that would say
right there, they'd say, that's a that's a Michelin Goodyear. Yeah, Yokohama,
just like that. Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Come home?
Speaker 1 (26:42):

What do we have here?
Speaker 7 (27:24):
All right?
Speaker 6 (27:24):
We're gonna start off with a question from Cowboy Killer.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Hi, cowboy killer.
Speaker 6 (27:28):
He wants to know, do you ever try to beat
the estimated time of arrival when you get directions from
your phone?
Speaker 1 (27:33):
One hundred percent? Through this all the time. I have
a very long commute from where I live now into
these studios when I come in here, and I usually
can shave anywhere from three to five minutes off. Anywhere
from three to five minutes I can shave off. The
thing that sucks is when you're trying to shave time
off and then you add time. That kills you. But
(27:54):
usually I'm good for three to five minutes. Yeah, Eddie, Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
You know those those valuations or whatever based on going
the speed limit, which I never do, so yeah, I
always always beat those.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
How fast do you go? It I go eighty eighty,
I don't, I go seventy nine. I sit this well,
clearly I'm a wild man. You are. Seventy nine will
not get you? Say, eighty plus gets your ticket? What
about you? Unless you're in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (28:21):
I've had HP pass me on the freeway going eighty
so ma, well I got I got pulled over one
time again.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I told this story, but the cops said, that is
as long as you're going under under eighty. I won't
give tickets anything over eighty. That's it, because that's a
real ticket. They like, I'm not about over eighty. I'm
going eighty, but it's over eighty eighty. It's eighty eighty eight.
It's eighty plus. No, it's not, it is it's eighty plus. Lorena.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
Well, I have this saying, Ben, if I do not
beat the time of arrival, then I'm driving like a granny.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
And you don't want to be granding not a granny,
all right, And we know Coops a legendary speeder.
Speaker 6 (28:59):
Rightly, Vegas is my favorite because like you get in
there and it says like five hours, and I feel
like I can cut, like, you know, if there's no traffic,
I can cut like thirty minutes off of that. But
this last drive that I had going to Vegas last weekend,
I cut ten minutes off. But then we stopped in Barstow.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
And went through the drive through Barstow.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Yeah, but then I was so it ended up being
where I just kind of matched the time that I already.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Why did you go to your mo? You could have
gone to Eddie World and your mo, Heggy, Susan, you
did real food. That's an amazing They have real food there.
What are you talking about. Let me guess you went
to raising Canes in Barstow.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
I didn't. I went through the McDonald's drive through, Oh
col I go to Canes in Vegas.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
They've got better food at Eddie World than McDonald's. No,
they yes, they do, know, they know, they do they
But I'm surprised cool to go there because they had
that The original court from the Forum where the Lakers
played is at of all places, Eddie World in the desert. Yes,
they have the center court logo from the Great Western
Forum where the Magic and the Showtime Lakers played in
(30:02):
Eddie World. That's cool, it's pretty wild. Actually, all right,
why don't we serve that as the appetizer? Should we
have man welcome in here and join us here for Ben? Yeah,

Speaker 1 (32:24):
I'm back in every time though, right, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (32:26):
I don't even know what you drive, Ben.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
I'm always get here before you.
Speaker 6 (32:32):
If it's convenient, Yes, I will, I will back into
the spot because I like the look at the front
end of my car better. I was going to quote
him on this.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
I knew this.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
So when i'm someone I'm walking back up to my car.
I like to see the front of it.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Yeah, yeah, I'd just like to back in so it'd
make the quick accent. What's next here to ask?
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Men?
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Your questions are answers for the rest all the hour.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
All right, So this one, this one won't involve Manuel,
but Freddy. It wants to know Freddy, He says, is
there a time when you argue with each other where
you don't talk to each other?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
But yeah, sometimes I'll get so I'll walk off. I
mean I'll leave and just like scream. But normally, no,
it's not like I remember Karen Kay before I used
to work with you. Yes, Karen would get so upset.
She would in the middle of the show. She would
turn her mic off and not talk. And she was
part of the show and it was I love her
(33:30):
to death, but it just drove me nuts. But I
would say, what do you think yet? I mean, we
were not really I mean very rarely, very rare, get
up that I said.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
But but people would might be surprised to know that
we will. Other than Cooper Lorain are in the same studio.
I'm in a different studio. You're a different studio. We
can all see each.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Other when we're different studios. We don't really talk that
much off the air to each other. Nah, No, we don't.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
We don't.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We have our conversations there on the air most of
the time, all right, Lorraina.
Speaker 9 (33:59):
Yeah, So the only time Ben has done this to
me is when we mess up on playing sounds.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Yeah, I go nuts because I have to find the
sound that we play often.
Speaker 8 (34:07):
And then maybe you can let me explain how I
feel about how I feel.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
I don't care about your feelings, but but no, it's
very maddening because I craft the monologues and then and
then he goes.
Speaker 8 (34:20):
And talk to you and he gives you the cold shoulder,
And don't know if it feels like I just feel bad.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Well, no, I just feel like I've wasted my entire
day because I find the perfect sound bite to put
in a monologue. Look what you've done, Freddy, And then
and then and then you you're butchered. I'm like, I
spent like two hours trying to find that sound bite,
and it's.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
Just all right, let's let's move on to that question,
all right, Uh fird dog Hi Fergie.
