Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, berthree, our three of
the radio program. And the silly season is underway in
the NBA. And what is your perspective on the latest
revelations involving Dame Lillard in his Portland proposition? Also, how
(00:20):
much value does DeAndre Ayton of the Suns have on
the trading block? And why is Chris Paul so fixated
on former Piston Isaiah Thomas having a role in his
latest trade out of the Valley of the Sun. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is our number three. They call it Dame time, but
(00:44):
is it trade time? Welome in the beg getting of
another hour of the Ben Bather Show. We are in
the a everywhere holding a conclave as we are pound
for power average coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the mast and majestically powerful microphones of fsre
(01:10):
amm nating live from the press, the full Court Press.
We are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
Tyrac dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installars. Tire rack dot Com The way that
(01:31):
tire bind should be coming up later this hour. We're
gonna have Mallard's Riddle of the Day. We'll also have
the Malor Mountain of Money, a lot of things with
my name associated with him, the branding of the show.
But we are going to begin with a little pro
bouncy ball talk Part two here the relentless barrage of
(01:53):
NBA rumors. And I am a sucker. As I've said
in previous hours, I am a sucker for the rumor,
for the gossip, for the innuendo, the back fence talk.
I love it, love it, love it, love it, love it,
love it, love it, love it. The moment I don't
like a trade is when it happens. I like the
(02:13):
trades being talked about when they actually happen. That's a buzzkill.
It's kind of like dating, yeah, a little bit. You know. Dating,
you go excitement, the anticipation of some kind of accomplishment
with some other person you're didding. That's often better than
the reality of it, you know, the conquest not so
(02:36):
you know, you know, you know what I'm saying. Anyway,
all right, So we've had around the clock endless clickbait.
It's just getting started here. It will go uninterrupted twenty
four to seven, leaning into the Thursday NFL Draft. That
will be the final moment when all goes quiet once
(02:57):
the draft begins, and then it'll calm down and then
after that another wave of NBA rumors. But the non
stop runway is open for takeoff here before the NBA
Draft on Thursday. The man in the crosshairs right now
is Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard. If you've not heard the latest,
(03:17):
perhaps you have not been engaged. We've learned that Damian
Lillard now would like to stay in Portland with conditions.
Course have to be conditioned. That's the rule of drama.
Rule of dramas. It has to be messier and more complicated.
It just can't be. I'd like to stay in Portland.
I'm making a lot of money. I would like to
(03:39):
stay here. I want to go chase Bigfoot around the
Pacific Northwest. No, No, it's got to be more complicated,
and of course it is. He has now put the
ball in the Trailblazers court, if you will. Sham's Sharania
implied that de Lillard has given the team a list
(03:59):
of demonds. What's that like? When you tell your boss
a list of demands and they listen. I tell my
boss a list of demands, and they chuckle when I
tell them things. But anyway, what are those demands? We
are told that Lillard has requested the Trailblazers unload the
number three pick in the draft, and he would like
(04:20):
them to package the number three tray, number three draft
pick with Anthony Simmons, and the goal would be to
get another building block, a dynamic duo in the Pacific
Northwest there with Dame Lillard on one side and the
mystery player on the other. The mystery player is undefeated,
(04:43):
by the way, So let us discuss the question what
is your perspective on Dame Lillard's Portland proposition? So I've
got copper, aol, dial up, and therapeutic. We'll combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(05:03):
a cheese steak sandwich. The greatest sandwich ever made, a
cheese steak sandwich. There's never been a better sandwich. There
will never be a better sandwich than a cheese steak
with the proper provolo cheese, the proper amount of thin
cut ribbi, the onions, the bell pepper, the perfect sandwich. Absolutely.
So first of all, all right, you talk about the
(05:26):
Dame Lillard story in his list of demands for the Trailblazers.
That is trade gamesmanship. What Lillard is doing is trade gamesmanship.
Now what do I mean by that? Me explain here.
It's a savvy move and here's why. For years, Lillard
has bragged about being loyal to the brand, the Code
(05:47):
of the West, loyalty and not wanting to leave. And
in fact, he has snickered at other players that have
chased championships and tried to form super teams, and he
bragged about his loyalty to the Trailblazers. Well, now here
we are in the eleventh hour, and Lillard has a
(06:07):
wandering eye. He's flirted on social media with Miami and
Brooklyn and some other other outposts out in the boondocks
of the NBA, and so now he finds himself on
rocky ground and he's going into his bag of tricks.
This is what's known as the copper card, if you will,
(06:31):
as in good Cop, Bad Cop, I'm the good cop,
you're the bad cop. And that's how this is gonna work.
Lillard is being the charming charismatic superstar, the friendly player
who wants to stay on the Oregon Trail. And he's
positioned now the Trailblazers as jerks, as big losers, right, impolite,
(06:58):
harsh jerks. Lillard is this kind, compassionate soul who wants
to stay with the team. He's the good cop. The
Trailblazers are the bad cop. That's the reality. If they
don't sweeten the roster, there are a bunch of parasites
there in the front office. And Lillard will just go
on to a different candy shop and get a nice
(07:21):
sweet treat. That's how that's gonna work. Can leave the
Blazers and shrug his shoulders and say I wanted to stay,
but it's those evil executives in the front office that
wouldn't get it done. Because Dame times relationship with the Trailblazers,
but it just kind of grew stale. It grew stale,
and they lost the spark. It happens in relationships. You
(07:43):
lose the spark sometimes. So a change of scenery and
Lillard can ride off to Miami and ride jet skis
and lounge and palm trees and drink my ties and
have a fine, fine day. Now. Secondly, moving away from Lizard,
Bradley Beal has not even been introduced yet as a
(08:05):
member of the Arizona Pro Basketball team, and already there
are other moving parts. Say what, Yeah, this is all
part of the silly season of the NBA. There will
be a test on this later. So if you've not
heard the last, maybe not. We are told that Phoenix
is now looking to repackage, not Bradley Beal, DeAndre Ayton,
(08:25):
the steroid guy. They would like to reload their roster,
and they figured by trading DeAndre Ayton they can actually
get some players around Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant.
They are fielding offers for the big man in the
lead up to the NBA Draft. That is what we
are told. Why don't we believe it? We do believe it,
So let's talk about it. How much value? How much
(08:48):
value does DeAndre Ayton have on the trading block? How
much value does he have? So I do not have
the Jimmy Johnson trade chart that he has for the
NFL Draft. They don't do that in the NBA. But
if I were to put a numerical value on DeAndre
eight and on a scale of one to ten, where
ten right now would be the Joker Nicole, the Jokic
(09:10):
or the Greek Freak, somebody along that line in their
prime superstar in the NBA. If that's a ten, what
is DeAndre eight? So after seconds long of analyzing the
data and the numbers, the numerical value chart indicates DeAndre
eighton is a three point five. That's it, three point
(09:33):
five out of ten. That's my final answer. And here's
why he is a square peg in a round hole.
That's the problem. It's like trying to surf the web
for information and you're using AOL dial up. Not gonna work, right.
The other people have that super chat, GPT or whatever,
(09:53):
and you've got AOL dial up. That's DeAndre eighten. Not
gonna work now, it'll work for a little bit, but
he's like floppy disc in an age where you've got
the air drop doesn't quite work as well. It's antiquated.
And DeAndre Ayden has been a productive regular season player
in a limited role because they're better players around him.
He'll get you seventeen points and ten rebounds per night,
(10:16):
and those numbers would go up. They would leap frog
if he's the lead option. See DeAndre Ayton averaging twenty
five points and fifteen rebounds in the NBA. The problem
is he's got a glitch. And anybody who knows basketball
knows the situation. Every man, woman and child that pays
attention knows that the kryptonite is in the playoffs. His
(10:36):
game is obsolete. What is my evidence, Well, the matchup
with Nikola Jokic. We just saw that a couple of
weeks back in the NBA playoffs the Nuggets and Sons,
and DeAndre Ayden was absolutely emasculated as the joker mopped
the court with DeAndre eight. And this guy was a
number one pick. He's done the steroids, and they absolutely
(10:58):
mopped the court with DeAndre eight. Phoenix out was outscored
by the Nuggets by fifty nine points when Aighton was
on the court in the Denver series. He didn't even
play the last game. It would have been worse. So
the value there is limited. I'm going three point five,
but what could the Suns get for DeAndre eight? So
(11:22):
I'm gonna crank up the Mather think tank trade style.
And we mentioned the Blazers earlier in this monologue. And
they're trying to appease Dame Lillard. I doubt that this
guy DeAndre Ayton would do that. But if you were
the Phoenix Suns, would you take Anthony Simmons and Yusef Nurkic?
(11:46):
Would you take those guys from Portland in a trade?
If you were the Knickerbockers, would you trade Evan Fournier
and Mitchell Robinson to Arizona for DeAndre Aidon? What about
DeAndre Ayton to the Celtics from Malcolm Brogden and Robert
Williams the third. I mean, there's a bunch of those
type of trades where you trade Aighton if you're the
(12:08):
Suns and you get some backup players, and then like
the Celtics would take Adon because he'd be fine during
the regular season and then in the playoffs they figured, well,
as long as he just gets some rebounds that that's fine,
even though he's a liability on defense. Now, turning the page,
last and final thought on this three prong Mallard monologue,
Chris Paul is in limbo. He's doing that limbo now
(12:30):
in the process of being traded from Phoenix, from Phoenix
to the Wizards, and he will work out a contract
buyout and then be back on the marketplace, probably by
early July. This will all be worked out here and
they'll get the buyout. As he waits for his next team,
(12:52):
Chris Paul has already figured out who is responsible for
the trade. See this and you're not listening Earlier. CP
three says that Isaiah Thomas old school Isaiah from the
Pistons of the late eighties early nineties, Isaiah Thomas a
couple generations back Isaiah Thomas. That that Isaiah Thomas was
(13:16):
involved in the Sun's decision to include him in the
trade for Bradley Beal. And keep in mind that Thomas
is not on the payroll. But Chris Paul said recently
multiple times that the Sun's owner, Matt ishbia In his
close friends with Isaiah Thomas, and Isaiah wanted to go
in a different direction. Now. Paul also revealed that he
(13:40):
was on a plane when he found out about the
trade via text message from his fourteen year old son.
So the question why is Chris Paul so fixated fixated
on Isaiah Thomas, the old school Isaiah Thomas having a
role in his trade from the Phoenix Basssketball team to
(14:00):
the Washington Basketball him. So, as I understand it, Chris
Paul was putting on the charm. This is what I've heard.
So Chris Paul was attempting to finagle his way to
stay in Arizona. He thought that he could sweet talk
Matt Ishbia and that they would work something out where
he'd be able to stay as a veteran locker room
presence coach on the court, played twenty minutes a game,
(14:22):
and he was attempting to convince the Sun's owner that
he was gonna stay. And he thought he was almost there.
And so he's blaming Isaiah Thomas because it is therapeutic
to blame Isaiah Thomas. It is purifying. It's like, well,
I still have the charm. But if it wasn't for
(14:43):
that meddling Isaiah Thomas, I would have ended up staying
with the Suns. Now, we do not doubt that Zeke
played a role in this trade. Ishbia is from Michigan.
He's from Birmingham, Michigan. He was a walk on at
Michigan State. The timeline works out when matt Iseshbiel was
like eight, nine, ten years old, Isaiah Thomas was a
(15:06):
really big deal, a really big deal. And if you're
a basketball player and Isaiah Thomas your a little kid,
and now you're a rich gazillionaire and you can have
Isaiah as a friend from the bad boy Pistons, he's
basketball royalty. For a guy like that that grew up
in Michigan, he carries a lot of cloud. Nevertheless, I
mean it's the Suns. It's a great trade. You gave
(15:28):
away nothing, You gave away absolutely nothing. He got Bradley Beal,
thirty eight year old Chris Paul with diminishing skills. It
was a wise move. As for Chris Paul's teenager texting
him about the deal in in France, I believe they
say cela V. I think it's how they said. It's
that is life. That's the way we are, and that's
(15:51):
how it works, and that's been that way for a
long time, and that's just how it goes. Okay. Anyway,

I walked down the hall there the inflation of the
vending machine is at the putin price. Like there, I
not checked the veting machine. That the sodas are dollar ten.
If they've been a dollar ten for a while, why
a dollar ten, why not like a dollar twenty five?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Or I didn't even notice they were a dollar ten.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, they're dollar ten. I know.
Speaker 3 (17:47):

Speaker 3 (17:58):
It seems odd that is an an automount.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Just the jerk move dollar ten, I think anyway. Time
now for the Malor riddle of the day. A blatant
attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer
after a spicy hot Dame Lillard theme Mallard monologue. But
here's the Mallard riddle of the day. The raising Canes.
A CEO recently bought six thousand blank for LSU fans
(18:27):
who are at the college baseball World Series. That is
the mallar riddle of the day. And what is the answer.
The saw man says that he bought six thousand shrimp pluwboys,
that that is the answer. Fergdog says six thousand pounds
of ranch dressing and chicken fingers. God, no, that would
(18:49):
be horrible. Bean boot maker Bob's going with the blow
up chicken dolls. Okay, what's going on over there? Who
else do we have page down down? Frosted mayonnaise guess
by Matt the former A's fan. That's his answer, boy,
that frosted maynaise is the way to go. Who else
(19:09):
do we have strawberry cookies? Guess by Kathy in Madison.
Justin in Cincinnati is going with Dodger tickets? Yes, okay?
Who else do we have recordings of Brian Kelly with
his Southern accent? That that is what he gave all
the LSU fans. Who else do we have page down?
(19:30):
I can't read that on the air. Hemorrhoid donut seat
cushions guess by milkman Mike in Colorado. But those those
aren't actually for hemorrhoids. See those are when you damage
your tailbone. I had that happened to me two years ago.
I had my tailbone messed up and you had to
get It's like a round pad that you have to
(19:51):
sit on by you you sound like, not sound like?
It seemed like a complete loser when you show up
to sit down and you're you're sitting on that squishy thing.
Who else do you have? Let's see here, Just Josh said,
the CEO of Raising Canes bought six thousand of your
award winning lemon cookies. That's right, Josh, absolutely. Callaghan Tim
(20:14):
in Michigan says he recently bought six thousand Tomahawks steaks. God,
why would you do that? Who else do we have?
Dick in Dayton recordings of Dick and Dayton's McDonald's concert
guessed by our pal Rob in Minnesota, The Keterry and
Pancho socidey. I can't wait till I get that cassette
tape of Dick and Dayton and his performance. He's sending
(20:36):
that via the Pony Express. Donkey sausage going with candy panties.
All right, Well, look what you're up to there. Chick
fil A sandwich is guessed by Jeff in Tulsa. Do
you have an answer, Eddie, do you have an answer?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yes, one hundred gallons of the honey mustard dipping sauce.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Uh. Well, they have honey mustard, but it's the cane sauce,
which is their signature sauce. The Kansas Truckers said six
thousand bowls of gumball, which was wrong. Also, strawberry Cookies
gets by our buddy Alf the alienor Potter the correct answer.
The CEO of Raising Kains my favorite fast food restaurant.
They're not an advertiser, but they should be a bad
(21:16):
job by them, went out and purchased six thousand Jello
shots to break the all time record. There's this tradition
at the College World Series, brilliant tradition. Right across the
street from the stadium there is a restaurant Rocos Pizza
(21:36):
and Cantina. And so they've had this contest over recent
years and all the schools in the College World Series,
whoever buys the most Jello shots is deemed, you know,
the winner, right, And so this guy walked in brilliant genius,
isn't it so smart? And so this guy walked in
there with all that Raising Kaines money and he went
(21:58):
down he put down six thousand jell O shots, shattering
the all time record. Now, last year it was Old
Miss in twenty twenty two that won the jell O
Shot Challenge. But Lsu as I understand it, at last
report is way ahead of everyone else. So congratulations, like
(22:22):
the twenty one thousand Jello shots. But this week the
next closest at the College World Series is uh, let's see.
I mean, see my list here. I've got a Wake
Forest I think is next on that list. Anyway, it
is the Ben Malors Show. I need some contestants. We
are not that far away from Malard's Mountain money. And
(22:46):
that means if you've ever wanted to play a game show,
and you don't want to hear the same five people
that play all these stupid game shows play this game show,
then you should probably call it right now eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. I need, I need some
actually need to somebody's maybe that's you. I give it
up there. There are no women that call SHO other
than Andrea at this point. She's the last one man

Oh that's very nice, but wouldn't that be better after
you wake up? I mean, that's an hour sleep. You
only get one extra hour of sleep. That seems like
that's not a lot of extra sleep.
Speaker 4 (27:35):

Eddie literally never works for you.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
No, it does work, But Eddie, do you know his audience?

(34:13):
Greatest quarterback for the Redskins of the nineteen sixties. Led
the NFL in passing like four years in the sixties. No,
all right, so it's a defensive battle.
Speaker 8 (34:25):
Sonny Jurgensen was the one that you missed there. And
then also Tony Parker at the point guard for the Spurs.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
But you guys are in the lead with one hundred.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
I'm the league.
Speaker 6 (34:36):
So back over to.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
Aldy and Eddie Ardi. Would you like the category passenger

Speaker 1 (34:46):
A shot on that one?
Speaker 8 (34:47):
Eddie Alright, these athletes changed teams in their prime, got
traded in their prime. Forty five seconds on the clock.

Speaker 6 (35:49):
And the Heat. Roy Halladay was the one that died
in that plane.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
That Norm Van Brocklan was like a batting practice fastball.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
And Khalil Mack was the former Raiders one. And that
he got traded to the Bears and now he's on
the Chargers. Anyway, you guys did get enough points for
the league, right, so you have one hundred.
Speaker 6 (36:07):
And fifty points and we go. I'm gonna try to
talk for the next.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
That would be there.
Speaker 8 (36:16):
Dare you Jordan and Ben, you guys have the category passenger.

bye laws on the Ben Mallards Show, it's in the bout.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
How about I take a question that we didn't get
to from Benny's balder dash last week, the thousand dollars question?
Uh huh, And whoever buzzes in and gets it wins
wins the game.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
All right, are you there already? You're still.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
Alright? All right? Is it a baseball question?

There you go, there's our friend Smarty yea. His eyes
(39:10):
lit up like the size of the moon broccol and
he's like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
You might know this coopet strategy does work sometimes.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
No, but my guy Jordan man I saw those baseball
names like the top one hundred point question, and he
got to was Francisco Leriano. I could be asking him
for the next ten years who Francisco Liriano was. He
would not have any answer to that question.
Hello and welcome. It's our name, berthree, our three of
the radio program. And the silly season is underway in
the NBA. And what is your perspective on the latest
revelations involving Dame Lillard in his Portland proposition? Also, how
(00:20):
much value does DeAndre Ayton of the Suns have on
the trading block? And why is Chris Paul so fixated
on former Piston Isaiah Thomas having a role in his
latest trade out of the Valley of the Sun. We'll
talk about all that and more right now here. It
is our number three. They call it Dame time, but
(00:44):
is it trade time? Welome in the beg getting of
another hour of the Ben Bather Show. We are in
the a everywhere holding a conclave as we are pound
for power average coast to coast, border, the border and
beyond on the mast and majestically powerful microphones of fsre
(01:10):
amm nating live from the press, the full Court Press.
We are broadcasting live from the tire rack dot Com studios.
Tyrac dot com will help you get there in unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection and over ten
thousand recommended installars. Tire rack dot Com The way that
(01:31):
tire bind should be coming up later this hour. We're
gonna have Mallard's Riddle of the Day. We'll also have
the Malor Mountain of Money, a lot of things with
my name associated with him, the branding of the show.
But we are going to begin with a little pro
bouncy ball talk Part two here the relentless barrage of
(01:53):
NBA rumors. And I am a sucker. As I've said
in previous hours, I am a sucker for the rumor,
for the gossip, for the innuendo, the back fence talk.
I love it, love it, love it, love it, love it,
love it, love it, love it. The moment I don't
like a trade is when it happens. I like the
(02:13):
trades being talked about when they actually happen. That's a buzzkill.
It's kind of like dating, yeah, a little bit. You know. Dating,
you go excitement, the anticipation of some kind of accomplishment
with some other person you're didding. That's often better than
the reality of it, you know, the conquest not so
(02:36):
you know, you know, you know what I'm saying. Anyway,
all right, So we've had around the clock endless clickbait.
It's just getting started here. It will go uninterrupted twenty
four to seven, leaning into the Thursday NFL Draft. That
will be the final moment when all goes quiet once
(02:57):
the draft begins, and then it'll calm down and then
after that another wave of NBA rumors. But the non
stop runway is open for takeoff here before the NBA
Draft on Thursday. The man in the crosshairs right now
is Dame Lillard, Damian Lillard. If you've not heard the latest,
(03:17):
perhaps you have not been engaged. We've learned that Damian
Lillard now would like to stay in Portland with conditions.
Course have to be conditioned. That's the rule of drama.
Rule of dramas. It has to be messier and more complicated.
It just can't be. I'd like to stay in Portland.
I'm making a lot of money. I would like to
(03:39):
stay here. I want to go chase Bigfoot around the
Pacific Northwest. No, No, it's got to be more complicated,
and of course it is. He has now put the
ball in the Trailblazers court, if you will. Sham's Sharania
implied that de Lillard has given the team a list
(03:59):
of demonds. What's that like? When you tell your boss
a list of demands and they listen. I tell my
boss a list of demands, and they chuckle when I
tell them things. But anyway, what are those demands? We
are told that Lillard has requested the Trailblazers unload the
number three pick in the draft, and he would like
(04:20):
them to package the number three tray, number three draft
pick with Anthony Simmons, and the goal would be to
get another building block, a dynamic duo in the Pacific
Northwest there with Dame Lillard on one side and the
mystery player on the other. The mystery player is undefeated,
(04:43):
by the way, So let us discuss the question what
is your perspective on Dame Lillard's Portland proposition? So I've
got copper, aol, dial up, and therapeutic. We'll combine all
of these things together and we are going to make
(05:03):
a cheese steak sandwich. The greatest sandwich ever made, a
cheese steak sandwich. There's never been a better sandwich. There
will never be a better sandwich than a cheese steak
with the proper provolo cheese, the proper amount of thin
cut ribbi, the onions, the bell pepper, the perfect sandwich. Absolutely.
So first of all, all right, you talk about the
(05:26):
Dame Lillard story in his list of demands for the Trailblazers.
That is trade gamesmanship. What Lillard is doing is trade gamesmanship.
Now what do I mean by that? Me explain here.
It's a savvy move and here's why. For years, Lillard
has bragged about being loyal to the brand, the Code
(05:47):
of the West, loyalty and not wanting to leave. And
in fact, he has snickered at other players that have
chased championships and tried to form super teams, and he
bragged about his loyalty to the Trailblazers. Well, now here
we are in the eleventh hour, and Lillard has a
(06:07):
wandering eye. He's flirted on social media with Miami and
Brooklyn and some other other outposts out in the boondocks
of the NBA, and so now he finds himself on
rocky ground and he's going into his bag of tricks.
This is what's known as the copper card, if you will,
(06:31):
as in good Cop, Bad Cop, I'm the good cop,
you're the bad cop. And that's how this is gonna work.
Lillard is being the charming charismatic superstar, the friendly player
who wants to stay on the Oregon Trail. And he's
positioned now the Trailblazers as jerks, as big losers, right, impolite,
(06:58):
harsh jerks. Lillard is this kind, compassionate soul who wants
to stay with the team. He's the good cop. The
Trailblazers are the bad cop. That's the reality. If they
don't sweeten the roster, there are a bunch of parasites
there in the front office. And Lillard will just go
on to a different candy shop and get a nice
(07:21):
sweet treat. That's how that's gonna work. Can leave the
Blazers and shrug his shoulders and say I wanted to stay,
but it's those evil executives in the front office that
wouldn't get it done. Because Dame times relationship with the Trailblazers,
but it just kind of grew stale. It grew stale,
and they lost the spark. It happens in relationships. You
(07:43):
lose the spark sometimes. So a change of scenery and
Lillard can ride off to Miami and ride jet skis
and lounge and palm trees and drink my ties and
have a fine, fine day. Now. Secondly, moving away from Lizard,
Bradley Beal has not even been introduced yet as a
(08:05):
member of the Arizona Pro Basketball team, and already there
are other moving parts. Say what, Yeah, this is all
part of the silly season of the NBA. There will
be a test on this later. So if you've not
heard the last, maybe not. We are told that Phoenix
is now looking to repackage, not Bradley Beal, DeAndre Ayton,
(08:25):
the steroid guy. They would like to reload their roster,
and they figured by trading DeAndre Ayton they can actually
get some players around Devin Booker, Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant.
They are fielding offers for the big man in the
lead up to the NBA Draft. That is what we
are told. Why don't we believe it? We do believe it,
So let's talk about it. How much value? How much
(08:48):
value does DeAndre Ayton have on the trading block? How
much value does he have? So I do not have
the Jimmy Johnson trade chart that he has for the
NFL Draft. They don't do that in the NBA. But
if I were to put a numerical value on DeAndre
eight and on a scale of one to ten, where
ten right now would be the Joker Nicole, the Jokic
(09:10):
or the Greek Freak, somebody along that line in their
prime superstar in the NBA. If that's a ten, what
is DeAndre eight? So after seconds long of analyzing the
data and the numbers, the numerical value chart indicates DeAndre
eighton is a three point five. That's it, three point
(09:33):
five out of ten. That's my final answer. And here's
why he is a square peg in a round hole.
That's the problem. It's like trying to surf the web
for information and you're using AOL dial up. Not gonna work, right.
The other people have that super chat, GPT or whatever,
(09:53):
and you've got AOL dial up. That's DeAndre eighten. Not
gonna work now, it'll work for a little bit, but
he's like floppy disc in an age where you've got
the air drop doesn't quite work as well. It's antiquated.
And DeAndre Ayden has been a productive regular season player
in a limited role because they're better players around him.
He'll get you seventeen points and ten rebounds per night,
(10:16):
and those numbers would go up. They would leap frog
if he's the lead option. See DeAndre Ayton averaging twenty
five points and fifteen rebounds in the NBA. The problem
is he's got a glitch. And anybody who knows basketball
knows the situation. Every man, woman and child that pays
attention knows that the kryptonite is in the playoffs. His
(10:36):
game is obsolete. What is my evidence, Well, the matchup
with Nikola Jokic. We just saw that a couple of
weeks back in the NBA playoffs the Nuggets and Sons,
and DeAndre Ayden was absolutely emasculated as the joker mopped
the court with DeAndre eight. And this guy was a
number one pick. He's done the steroids, and they absolutely
(10:58):
mopped the court with DeAndre eight. Phoenix out was outscored
by the Nuggets by fifty nine points when Aighton was
on the court in the Denver series. He didn't even
play the last game. It would have been worse. So
the value there is limited. I'm going three point five,
but what could the Suns get for DeAndre eight? So
(11:22):
I'm gonna crank up the Mather think tank trade style.
And we mentioned the Blazers earlier in this monologue. And
they're trying to appease Dame Lillard. I doubt that this
guy DeAndre Ayton would do that. But if you were
the Phoenix Suns, would you take Anthony Simmons and Yusef Nurkic?
(11:46):
Would you take those guys from Portland in a trade?
If you were the Knickerbockers, would you trade Evan Fournier
and Mitchell Robinson to Arizona for DeAndre Aidon? What about
DeAndre Ayton to the Celtics from Malcolm Brogden and Robert
Williams the third. I mean, there's a bunch of those
type of trades where you trade Aighton if you're the
(12:08):
Suns and you get some backup players, and then like
the Celtics would take Adon because he'd be fine during
the regular season and then in the playoffs they figured, well,
as long as he just gets some rebounds that that's fine,
even though he's a liability on defense. Now, turning the page,
last and final thought on this three prong Mallard monologue,
Chris Paul is in limbo. He's doing that limbo now
(12:30):
in the process of being traded from Phoenix, from Phoenix
to the Wizards, and he will work out a contract
buyout and then be back on the marketplace, probably by
early July. This will all be worked out here and
they'll get the buyout. As he waits for his next team,
(12:52):
Chris Paul has already figured out who is responsible for
the trade. See this and you're not listening Earlier. CP
three says that Isaiah Thomas old school Isaiah from the
Pistons of the late eighties early nineties, Isaiah Thomas a
couple generations back Isaiah Thomas. That that Isaiah Thomas was
(13:16):
involved in the Sun's decision to include him in the
trade for Bradley Beal. And keep in mind that Thomas
is not on the payroll. But Chris Paul said recently
multiple times that the Sun's owner, Matt ishbia In his
close friends with Isaiah Thomas, and Isaiah wanted to go
in a different direction. Now. Paul also revealed that he
(13:40):
was on a plane when he found out about the
trade via text message from his fourteen year old son.
So the question why is Chris Paul so fixated fixated
on Isaiah Thomas, the old school Isaiah Thomas having a
role in his trade from the Phoenix Basssketball team to
(14:00):
the Washington Basketball him. So, as I understand it, Chris
Paul was putting on the charm. This is what I've heard.
So Chris Paul was attempting to finagle his way to
stay in Arizona. He thought that he could sweet talk
Matt Ishbia and that they would work something out where
he'd be able to stay as a veteran locker room
presence coach on the court, played twenty minutes a game,
(14:22):
and he was attempting to convince the Sun's owner that
he was gonna stay. And he thought he was almost there.
And so he's blaming Isaiah Thomas because it is therapeutic
to blame Isaiah Thomas. It is purifying. It's like, well,
I still have the charm. But if it wasn't for
(14:43):
that meddling Isaiah Thomas, I would have ended up staying
with the Suns. Now, we do not doubt that Zeke
played a role in this trade. Ishbia is from Michigan.
He's from Birmingham, Michigan. He was a walk on at
Michigan State. The timeline works out when matt Iseshbiel was
like eight, nine, ten years old, Isaiah Thomas was a
(15:06):
really big deal, a really big deal. And if you're
a basketball player and Isaiah Thomas your a little kid,
and now you're a rich gazillionaire and you can have
Isaiah as a friend from the bad boy Pistons, he's
basketball royalty. For a guy like that that grew up
in Michigan, he carries a lot of cloud. Nevertheless, I
mean it's the Suns. It's a great trade. You gave
(15:28):
away nothing, You gave away absolutely nothing. He got Bradley Beal,
thirty eight year old Chris Paul with diminishing skills. It
was a wise move. As for Chris Paul's teenager texting
him about the deal in in France, I believe they
say cela V. I think it's how they said. It's
that is life. That's the way we are, and that's
(15:51):
how it works, and that's been that way for a
long time, and that's just how it goes. Okay. Anyway,

The Uh, the chips are dollars twenty five.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I think a dollar some of the stuff was a
dollar fifth.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
And then the candy bars are like a dollar fifty.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeah, but by a dollar ten.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
It seems odd that is an an automount.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Just the jerk move dollar ten, I think anyway. Time
now for the Malor riddle of the day. A blatant
attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer
after a spicy hot Dame Lillard theme Mallard monologue. But
here's the Mallard riddle of the day. The raising Canes.
A CEO recently bought six thousand blank for LSU fans
(18:27):
who are at the college baseball World Series. That is
the mallar riddle of the day. And what is the answer.
The saw man says that he bought six thousand shrimp pluwboys,
that that is the answer. Fergdog says six thousand pounds
of ranch dressing and chicken fingers. God, no, that would
(18:49):
be horrible. Bean boot maker Bob's going with the blow
up chicken dolls. Okay, what's going on over there? Who
else do we have page down down? Frosted mayonnaise guess
by Matt the former A's fan. That's his answer, boy,
that frosted maynaise is the way to go. Who else
(19:09):
do we have strawberry cookies? Guess by Kathy in Madison.
Justin in Cincinnati is going with Dodger tickets? Yes, okay?
Who else do we have recordings of Brian Kelly with
his Southern accent? That that is what he gave all
the LSU fans. Who else do we have page down?
(19:30):
I can't read that on the air. Hemorrhoid donut seat
cushions guess by milkman Mike in Colorado. But those those
aren't actually for hemorrhoids. See those are when you damage
your tailbone. I had that happened to me two years ago.
I had my tailbone messed up and you had to
get It's like a round pad that you have to
(19:51):
sit on by you you sound like, not sound like?
It seemed like a complete loser when you show up
to sit down and you're you're sitting on that squishy thing.
Who else do you have? Let's see here, Just Josh said,
the CEO of Raising Canes bought six thousand of your
award winning lemon cookies. That's right, Josh, absolutely. Callaghan Tim
(20:14):
in Michigan says he recently bought six thousand Tomahawks steaks. God,
why would you do that? Who else do we have?
Dick in Dayton recordings of Dick and Dayton's McDonald's concert
guessed by our pal Rob in Minnesota, The Keterry and
Pancho socidey. I can't wait till I get that cassette
tape of Dick and Dayton and his performance. He's sending
(20:36):
that via the Pony Express. Donkey sausage going with candy panties.
All right, Well, look what you're up to there. Chick
fil A sandwich is guessed by Jeff in Tulsa. Do
you have an answer, Eddie, do you have an answer?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yes, one hundred gallons of the honey mustard dipping sauce.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Uh. Well, they have honey mustard, but it's the cane sauce,
which is their signature sauce. The Kansas Truckers said six
thousand bowls of gumball, which was wrong. Also, strawberry Cookies
gets by our buddy Alf the alienor Potter the correct answer.
The CEO of Raising Kains my favorite fast food restaurant.
They're not an advertiser, but they should be a bad
(21:16):
job by them, went out and purchased six thousand Jello
shots to break the all time record. There's this tradition
at the College World Series, brilliant tradition. Right across the
street from the stadium there is a restaurant Rocos Pizza
(21:36):
and Cantina. And so they've had this contest over recent
years and all the schools in the College World Series,
whoever buys the most Jello shots is deemed, you know,
the winner, right, And so this guy walked in brilliant genius,
isn't it so smart? And so this guy walked in
there with all that Raising Kaines money and he went
(21:58):
down he put down six thousand jell O shots, shattering
the all time record. Now, last year it was Old
Miss in twenty twenty two that won the jell O
Shot Challenge. But Lsu as I understand it, at last
report is way ahead of everyone else. So congratulations, like
(22:22):
the twenty one thousand Jello shots. But this week the
next closest at the College World Series is uh, let's see.
I mean, see my list here. I've got a Wake
Forest I think is next on that list. Anyway, it
is the Ben Malors Show. I need some contestants. We
are not that far away from Malard's Mountain money. And
(22:46):
that means if you've ever wanted to play a game show,
and you don't want to hear the same five people
that play all these stupid game shows play this game show,
then you should probably call it right now eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. I need, I need some
actually need to somebody's maybe that's you. I give it
up there. There are no women that call SHO other
than Andrea at this point. She's the last one man
(23:08):
anybody else wants to call. Feel Free At eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox, Women not here. I don't
know where they are. But we will have Mallard's amount
of money. We'll get to that coming up momentarily. Right now, though,
let's get you caught up on everything going on in
the overnight. And here he is, the cookie thief, the
(23:29):
cookie monster. How dare any crook?
