NBA is back. It is back, and we have an
amazing story. This is such an NBA brand story out
of New York. How does Carl Anthony Towns not knowing
his role in the Knickerbocker offense sound to you? As
(00:22):
the season begins, He's like, I don't really know what
my role is. Are you surprised by the story of
Russell Westbrook being fed up with Lebron James that has
been making the rounds and in baseball? Should Angel fans
be bummed out that both Albert Pujos and Tory Hunter
areset to be out of the managerial search in Anaheim.
(00:44):
We'll talk about that as well. Here it is our
number three. Well, a perfect way to begin a new
season with some kitty litter. Welcome in the beginning of
another hour of the Ben Malors Show. We are in
the air everywhere like roommates as we are your one

is Robbie the Mariner and is so depressed about his
baseball team losing that he's going to buy some new tires.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
We are you talking about basketball? I don't understand. Calm down,
we'll get back to the football. I want to talk
about this.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
The twenty twenty five twenty six NBA regular season gets
started tonight. We got double barrel action. That's right, the
reigning champions. How weird is this? I know Kyrie and Okase,
he's happy about it. But Oklahoma City opens up the
traditional championship team opening up the following season, Oklahoma City
(03:18):
was shaking Jogis Alexander taking on the Roquets, and that
game in Oklahoma, the champs get the lead off position,
they are in the pole position, and then you have
the old Geezers. Although Lebron not playing, the Warriors favored
on the road in Lala Land against the Lakers. And
yet the story that most people are yapping about is
(03:41):
not the games. It's never really about the games. During
the regular season. Instead, it's something out of Gotham. And
this is such a good story that I'm going there
a m It's a great story. So if you don't
know where I'm going with this because you're not paying
attention to, bad job you.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
And we'll get back to all the.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Baseball stuff as the Blue Jays are into the World
Series now to take on the Dodgers and the two
Monday night football games. So you didn't see this New
York knickerbocker and longtime Minnesota timberwolf Karl Anthony Towns, he
revealed this week as the season begins, he does not
(04:19):
fully know what his role with the team is going
to be under the new offense of Mike Brown. What
can Brown do for you?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
He says?
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Eventually we'll figure it out, he said, quote honestly. When
asked point blank what was going to happen, he said,
quote honestly, I don't know, but we're figuring it out,
he told reporters this week.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Close quote. So that's a good jumping off point.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Let us discuss the question, how does Carl Anthony Towns.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Not knowing his role in the Knickerbocker offense sound to you?
So on this one. I've got Harrison.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Ford, Deli Counter and and Spirit Halloween, and we're gonna
put them all on a.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Basket and we're gonna knock them down.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
We're gonna put them on that the tray, you know,
the moneyball thing, the three point contest that they have,
and they have those trays with the balls, and we're
gonna put them all the entrey and we're gonna knock
all the shots down because I am Moneyball Mallard. That's
one of my nicknames. Fer Dog actually knows that, all right,
So to lead off here, and I don't need to
use any radio cycle babble. I can use it if
you want. This is not that hard. Karl Anthony Towns.
(05:29):
And I saw the clip. He didn't look, he didn't
sound Karl Anthony Towns like a guy that's happy. That
doesn't mean that everything's gonna fall apart. You don't always
have to be happy at work. There are days we
all are not happy when we go to work. But
the Knickerbucker is the thing that's the fascinating part of this.
The Knicks are paying this guy, this kiddy cat, over
(05:53):
fifty million dollars this season, fifty three million dollars. This
is supposed to be your co headliner, your Broadway, well
technically your off Broadway, but you could be on Broadway.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I was told by someone that works in the theater
business that Broadway and off Broadway are just terms to
describe the number of seats in a theater.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Meaning you know, I've.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Been to one Broadway show in my life and I
hated it because the seats. He was an old theater,
like one hundred year old theater, and I'm a tall guy,
and it just didn't really work out for me. It
was very uncomfortable. I thought my knees were going to
have to be cut off and all that. But I
was saying to this person who works in that business,
and they're like, well, Broadway means you have X number
of seats, and I don't remember off the top of
my head with the number was Off Broadway means it's
(06:39):
a smaller venue. That's all that means. So but the nixt,
let's say, we'll say off Broadway. It sounds funnier off Broadway.
So you've got your co headliner. You've got Karl Anthony Townsend,
Jalen Brunson right there in the Big Apple trying to
win a Tony Award, and they have a better chance
of winning a Tony Award than they do an NBA Championship.
So we've got that and the curtains to go up,
(07:01):
and the star actor doesn't know the lines because they
haven't figured out what scenes he's in. Okay, Now, this
also comes across to me as a subtle jab by
the player Karl Anthony Towns at Mike Brown. It's it's
we're figuring it out, which is code for they've got
(07:22):
no plan. Right the way I interpret it, they have
no plan, and the New York Knicks twenty twenty five
twenty six offensive system is.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Eh, well wing it what. I'll just well figure it out?
Why not?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Now, Mike Brown is playing the role of Harrison Ford
as Indiana Jones. That famous line from Indiana Jones, the original,
making this up as I go along, I'm making this up.
It's a bad sign, said, There's plenty of time between
now in the summer of next year when they crowned champion,
(07:53):
the summer the summer of next year. All right, but
here's the thing, Right, you're not supposed to be figuring
things out. You're supposed to be fine tuning during the
regular season and all that, especially when you're paying a
guy fifty plus million dollars a year and the nobody
knows anything. Approach to this, which seems to be going on.
(08:16):
The flying by the scene of your pants for the
New York Knickerbockers is intriguing. I guess you can call
the Knicks dazed and confused. Dazed and confused. Now, Karl
Anthony Towns is not a shrinking violet. He's good for
sports radio. He's good for sports radio. And the reason
he's good for sports radio is because he's he chokes
(08:39):
in most big games and he does this passive aggressive thing.
And this is passive aggressive. He's like, I don't like
what's happening here. But he didn't say I don't like
what's happening here yet, he said I don't like what's
happening here. And you could hear that that snicker from
some old school Timberwolves fans in Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I remember that guy. That's the guy I remember right there.
How do you like that? In New York? There you go?
How's that going for you? All right?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Furthermore, outside of the Big Apple, another storyline as the
basketball season gets going here. We were gifted a vintage
basketball drama Orama. That's right, a drama o rama. Now
I read that Sacramento guard. How weird is that Sacramento
(09:28):
guard Russell Westbrook the vagabond of vagabonds in the NBA.
Russell Westbrook is up to his old tricks here. So
it's this long wordy story this week written. I think
it was about the Ringer. I think it was the Ringer.
I read it in and so I a lot of words,
a lot of words. I read the thing and the
headline is that Russell Westbrook grew tired of Lebron James
(09:52):
fake behavior during their time together as teammates with the Lakers.
So that's pretty juicy. It seems like a good meet
the story, and it's not where's the beef? There's some
beef there. So let us discuss the question, are you
surprised that Russell Westbury? Are you surprised by the story
that Russell Westbrook was fed up with Camron?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
All right, so on this one, obviously it's a yes. No.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
But I'm shaking my head. No, I'm shaking my head. No,
I'm not surprised, not even a little bit, not even
this much. I'm not surprised at all. And the reason
that I am not surprised is because this is hot
take validation. If you go back Lucky Tony and he
likes to fact check and go back at look at
oat takes. If you go back to the archive, the
(10:39):
audio vault of the Ben Mather Show several years back,
when these guys were teammates, and all that it is.
Validation is what it is. Because the purple and gold
Birdie lit don't Birdie? That don't Birdie was chirping my direction.
Believe or not, there are people that around the Lakers
universe who for some reason tell me stuff because people
(11:02):
love to gossip.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
I don't think it's just me. I think they probably
tell everybody. But I'm one of the people that they tell.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And so this is another chapter yet again in the
soap opera of Lebron. We've seen this for many, many years,
the curated image of Lebron James. Of course, this was
all mentioned some of my favorite Lebron stories. The time
that he claimed The Godfather was his favorite movie. He
(11:29):
loved The Godfather, and then a reporter said, oh really, okay,
what's what's your favorite line from the Godfather. Now, now
most people would say, I don't know, take the take
the Canoli's leave the gun or something like that. His
line was he didn't have one because everyone's got like
I like, I don't love the god I like, so
(11:52):
I quote some of the lines like my all time
favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Like that, but I've quoted it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
You asked me to quote a line, We'll make him
an offer he can't refuse, or something like that from
the Godfather trilogy. He couldn't do any of that, So
that was good. And then many people have pointed out
the greatest lebron story of all time is when he
you know, he said, oh, I'm gonna carry around an
autobiography of Malcolm X. Right, I'm gonnahow everyone how cool
I am? You know, a hip I am? And all
that stuff. So he's got this autobiography of Malcolm X
(12:17):
and so somebody, what do you think about the book?
He couldn't answer it because he hadn't read the book.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
He was just carrying. It was a prop. It was hilarious.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
So Russell Westbrook, what he just did is say that
the story indicated he had said the quiet part out
loud and all that stuff, and everyone around the league
knows Russ was frustrated. Now, to be fair, he also
sucked with the Lakers, like he was a terrible player
with the Lakers, missing a lot of shots and he
just didn't it didn't work. But Westbrook, if you want
to get down to the nitty gritty, he can go
down to the deli counter. And I do recommend it.
(12:48):
He can go down to the deli counter at the
Lebron Haters Club. It's a special. There's a deli in
the back. Which you do is you go through the door,
you turn right, you go down the hallway, you make
a left turn, you go down Aisle seven. You go
buy Supermarket Steve. He's working off to the right there
he's putting cans of tomato sauce on the showf So
you go buy Supermarket Steve.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
You make another left.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Turn, and then you go to the very back and
then there there it is Lebron Haters Club Delhi and
right there take a number. And for Lebron authenticity, the
authenticity is not part of the package.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It is not. He is a.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Brand, not a dude, due not a new not There's
a great story also told about Lebron with actor Will Smith, keep.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
My wife's name out of your mouth.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
That Will Smith, Yeah, not the Dodger catcher, Will Smith
and Lebron being totally phony.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
So good stuff, all right.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Now, last thing, by request from Fergnog, we go to Anaheim,
the Big A in Anaheim, and they the Angels. Did
they play in the plug? No, they did not play
the plug. Why are we talking about them? Because they're
in the news, that's why, all right, the supporting news. So,
the Angels had two high profile managerial candidates. They had,
(14:02):
on one hand, Albert Pools, who they're still paying for
like another thirty years or whatever. Albert Puolos and Tory Hunter.
Very popular Tory Hunter Albert Poolos not so much so
the Angels. We've were told they have informed both Tory
Hunter and one of the most popular players in franchise history,
and Albert Pulos not that they will will not be
(14:23):
managing the team. They're no longer being considered as the
next skipper of the Halos.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
There are said.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
To be what one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight openings left, So eight of the thirty members of
the cartel do not have managers. The question should Angel
fans be bummed out that Albert Pulos and Tory Hunter
are out of the managerial race, and so the answer
(14:50):
is en to the O, N to the O, to
the O to the O end to the O. Now,
some people who support the Halos are acting like, oh
my god, we've We've just lost the World Series again.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
This is so embarrassed. Of course, you don't make the playoffs,
so you can't lose the World Series. And I'm sorry,
but I'm not sorry. This is like no big deal.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
This is no big deal, and you're actually likely going
to come out ahead. Although knowing the Angels, they're going
to go down to a graveyard and dig up Gene
Mock and bring him back to manage the team. But
I digress.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And so.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
It's not the reason I say it's nobody doing. It's
not nineteen ninety eight, it's not nineteen eighty seven or
something like that.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
It's it's the year we're in now.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
The managerial job is like the Sopranos.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
No show job is what it is.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's like going down to spirit Halloween. Can I get
the Halloween costume? Yes, you can get the Halloween costume
as a big league manager. Okay, what's the big league
manager spirit Halloween costume. So that is they give you
a hat, they give you a hoodie, they give you
some baseball pants, and they give you a lineup car.
There's a three ring binder that comes from the analytics department,
and you just have to read from the binder.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
That's your spirit Halloween Big League manager costume. You're basically
a middle manager at Walmart, is what you are. And
if they had hired they being the Angels, if they
had hired Albert Poohos a Tory hunter, they wouldn't have
hired them because they think they're great manager material and
they're going to lead a team to a championship. The
reason you would hire someone like that with no experience
(16:30):
would be, all right, this is somebody that our fan
base knows, and we'll bring him in here, and maybe
some people buy some tickets because they liked watching this
guy play, and they'll get all warm and fuzzy because
we're gonna bring this person back. As we said in
a previous episode of the show, it's like a mascot
type thing. It's like, well, the players aren't that compelling.
(16:50):
Even Mike Trout has aged out and he's just a
shell of what he had been in his salad days.
And so you don't really have any good players and
the team's rather dull, and so we'll bring in a
manager that has some name value and all that, and
the skill if you hire Tory Hunter or Albert Pools
or another popular and they can bring back Wally Joyner.
(17:12):
But whoever they hire, the primary skill would be the
smile when you're on the jumbo trump and when you're
on the jumbo tron, make I want cheshire Cat smile.
You also have to appear at the rotary club and
have to support all the fan engagement stuff. But the Angels,
we know they've been irrelevant for a number of years.
And what they should they being the Halos the fan base,
(17:36):
but it should be upset about the real problem is
the fish, as they say, stinks from the top down.
And Arti Marino, who some people say is a really
nice man, he's an absentee owner in many ways in
terms of he doesn't fix stuff that good owners fixed,
and he just doesn't take garistoff. And he's changed gms,
he's changed managers. The one common denominator has been Arti Marino.
(18:00):
Now you can't overcome a bad owner. James Dolan is
a crappy owner. But the New York Knicks are a contender.
That's just the way that it is. There have been
other bad owners that teams end up having success and
it ruins the narrative. It just becomes that much more difficult.
It is the Ben Mahler Show. And if you'd like
to be part of this, we have two open lines.
(18:21):
So the first time All Night eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox eight seven seven nine nine six six
three sixty nine. You can sneak in. It's like a
little little cheat code situation. You can sneak in there,
but not an Astro cheat thing or a George Springer
cheat thing.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Not like that.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
As Springer had the big home run the Blue Jays
or into the World Series. We'll talk more about that.
But time now though, for the Mallor riddle of the day.
And here's the Mallor riddle of the day, So go
to college football. Texas Tech fans have been asked to
stop throwing blank onto the field. Texas Tech. That is
(19:01):
a college football team called the Red Raiders in Lubbock, Texas.
Texas Tech fans have been asked to stop throwing blank
onto the field.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
That is the malor riddle of the day. The answer,
We'll get to it. We will do it next.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
There's a lot of buzz? Am I wrong on that?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Jones up? What's your level of interest? I give the
world series at B. I did a Mallard monologue on
it earlier a World Series preview.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
It's a B. It's a B. Got a villain, got
a bad guy.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
You got a couple of big headline stars in Otani
and Vladimir Guerrero. But if you'd like to be part
of this show eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Also on X at Ben Mahler, you can say a
little Lorena FSR Tech Queen and Cooper Loop at a
Bronco fan, your comments can and will be used against
(20:50):
you in the court of sports radio.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
So please please act accordingly. If you know what I'm saying,
all right, back to it we go.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
We will pay off the mall Riddle of the day.
We'll get to that coming up here. Molmentarily the mallor
Riddle of the day. Didn't want to mention this is
rather interesting. A Denver Bronco player, and I hadn't played
much this year. I don't played one game. Coop's not happier.
But dra Greenlaw, who was a good player with the Niners,
(21:24):
like this guy like made I remember just to kill
the rams anyway, Drake Greenlaw is he just came back
and missed the entire season, played in the wild game
against the Giants, and he has now been suspended without
pay for one game, not because of anything he did
during the game. He went up and confronted the referee.
(21:46):
You know, like that little league baseball game, somebody will
confront the umpire after the game. That's essentially what he did.
He went up to the official and I guess you know,
yelled at him. And the funniest part of that, there's
video of it. The official through the flag after the game.
It's like a symbolic flag throw, like all right, I
know the game's over, but I'm just for the record,
I'm a robot.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I'm gonna throw the flag.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Coop, I say, representative of the Bronco fan base, your thoughts.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
I'm torn on this because, on the one hand, the
refs did try to hand the game to the Giants
with a bogus defensive pass interference and a bogus roughing
the passer penalty on that on that touchdown drive. So
I get wanting to be like, eh, you know, f
you you try to give the game away. We won anyway,
But also, what are you doing, Like, come on, man,
(22:36):
you just you just got off ir you're an important
piece of the defense. We've got a game coming up
against the Cowboys who have a great offense, and you're
gonna do something stupid like that.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Like, and dude, how much do referees get paid? A
couple thousand in a game or something like that. They
don't get much, right, I think that's a good amount
of money for one day's work. But it's what do
you think they make? Five grand a game? Even it
with five grandy game, that would be a lot, right,
I would think. I don't think they get more than that.
It's probably only a couple grand, couple grand a game,
but then only it's a part. They're not full time,
the officials, it's part.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
Average annual salary of two hundred and five thousand.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Oh my god, I'm gone right now. Oh my god,
are you kidding me? Oh my god? They make two
hundred thousand.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
Average salary breaks down to roughly twelve thousand per game
for a standards season.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
God, oh, Mike, are you come on?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Man?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Come on, dude, seriously? Yep, all right, how do I
become cool? Look up? How you become an official? I'm leaving,
all right. I love this place. I've been here twenty
five years. I'm gone. Okay, I'm out. That's it. I'm done.
I'm giving up my radio dreams. Little Benny wanted to
be on the radio.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
I've lived my life, I've lived my dream. I'm gonna
be My new dream is to be an NFL official. Well,
either way, Drake Greenlaw makes thirty what's he making? Thirteen
million or something like that or a ton of money
per ty ten million dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
So you're ten million versus two hundred two. You're doing
all right? Got twelve twelve ranning game.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I got to pay off the Mallard riddle of the day.
And here is the Mallard riddle of the day. Texas
Tech has asked their fans to stop throwing blank on
the field. Please, we need you to stop throwing blank
on the field. Please help us out. Let's see he
Ozzie Waz is going with used condoms, all right? A
(24:26):
sawman in Mississippi, stop throwing tomahawk steaks onto the field.
Mallard prop guy, I believe he cheated Pat Job by him,
dead fish guests by Scrooge.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Who else do we have?
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Andy and Lino Lakes, Minnesota going with cowboy hats. Don't
throw your cowboy hats out of the field. A shade
from Alf the Alien Opineter lebron is lazy from Bill
off topic, can of Copenhagen from Late Night drug tester
who else? Keith Oho tech Stow in Houston says, stop
(25:02):
throwing rock candy feces on the field. Okay, very specific
on that. What do we have here, Bobby and Florida
Key Lime Pie? Bobby says they need to stop throwing
the new Kardashian underwear on the on the field boiled
hot dogs from Luke.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The vending guy.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I could hear Luke's name again and see Josh Josh

Air, all right, Lorraine, Now do you have an answer
to see the mallor riddle of the day, the malory
of the day. Texas Tech, that's a university in Lubbock, Texas.
They have asked their football fans to stop throwing blank
onto the field.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
I think they want people to stop throwing their children
on the field.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Great answer, lareda get upset team doesn't play well, throw
your kid on the field and then like a boomerang. No,
that is incorrect, the correct answer. Texas Tech has requested
that their fans stop throwing delicious tortillas off the field. Yeah,
I don't do that. You ever made chips at home?
(27:42):
Like homemade chips?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
It is nobody have made tortillas at home.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You made sure.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah, we've made chips at home, and it is amazing
the markup how easy it is to take a stack
of like five or six tortillas and cut them into
squares or triangles rather and like the amount of money,
it's a little bit of work.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But the amount of money save, Like you buy a
bag of tortilla chips, what is that? Seven eight bucks
a bag of tortilla easily? Yeah, especially if you're like
they're good kind, you can buy a.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Massive thing of like a hundred tortillas for a about
what is it, like a five bucks maybe something like
that for a big thing of tortillas.
Speaker 8 (28:23):
Now that's the thing though, Ben, Yeah, when when you're
just sitting normally you wouldn't eat twelve tortillas, but if
you put them into chip form, you would easily eat
twelve tortillas.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
Absolutely, that's a crazy thing to think about. Well, it's potatoes.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
I maybe wouldn't eat a full potato if you just
handed me a raw potato, but if you make it
into French fries, I can eat like three potatoes.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh yeah, the fry thing. Well, that's true.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
Like the people I know, some people have gone big
on the internet because they'll make videos of like what's
actually in the cereal you eat or whatever, like the
sugars and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
And yeah, and so it's okay, I get it.
Speaker 2 (28:58):

not good for you, but people are still eating it
and they're gonna stop.
