Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Lacai. It's our number three. We thank you
for supporting and being a loyal minion of the Ben
Malors Show podcast. We're gonna bounce around some hodgepodge of
things this hour.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We begin with.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
What do you make of this Luka Doncik story from
Men's Health ripped greatest shape of his life? I think
he took ozampic. Also, what did you take away from
the latest viral WNBA moment a player lost her wig
during a game and the announcers ignored it. They pretended
like it didn't happen. I don't know how you could
(00:41):
do that. We'll discuss. Also, I was reading that the
commissioner Don Garber proudly proclaimed that Major League Soccer's viewership
is up fifty percent on Apple TV plus. He called
it progress. What do you call it? What do you say?
Talk about that?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
As well?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's all coming your way right now here. It is
is our number three. From Hookah Luca to Skinny Minnie Luca,
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere, cheek to
(01:20):
cheek as we are cruising and bruising coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and sublimely
powerful microphones of fsr ammadating live from the dots as
we connect the dots together from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
(01:41):
as approved by Nostradinas. He lives in Seattle. I met
him at the Malor meeting web did years ago in
the mighty Pacific Northwest. And so not only am I
distant relative of Nostre Damas, I'm a friend of Nostredena's
and no Stredenus knows. This portion of the Ben Malor
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire
Iraq That's right tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
For over forty.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, like Kathy
and Madison, ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection,
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq
dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show. I'd be so
(02:26):
our lead. This hour is from Men's Health. Do we
read Men's Health?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No? Did we even know that was still around? No? There,
several of you idiots sent me the stories. Did you
see this?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh you're gonna you're gonna will You're gonna regret this,
Oh man, Luca's gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Run la man. Okay. So yeah, you know this came
from the historians.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
So skinny Luca has gone viral, gone global. I'm told
this is a big deal. I'm supposed to be excited
about this. So I don't he saw it, But there's
Luca walk looking down the catwalk doing a pirouet. A
braggadocio interview from Luca about the great condition, great condition
(03:10):
he is in now he has reshaped his body, says
Men's Health. So let us discuss the question, what do
you make of Luca Luka dancik this story from Men's Health,
which basically describes his chisel body. He's ripped, greatest shape
(03:31):
of his life, all the usual rigamaroor. So I've got
happy Hour, shacking a fool, and Walmart, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we are going
to make the baba ganooche is what we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We're gonna make some fresh baba ganooche. Get the egg
plant out.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So, first of all, as we understand it, as we
understand it, this entire period of time, the Men's Health.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Article everything else that's been going on the last couple.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Of days has been choreographed by Luca's publicist. The Little
Birdie tells us that one of Lucas published Luca's publicists, who.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
May or may not work for Nike, has been very active.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Not only did the Men's Health article drop coincided conveniently
the same day, guess who popped up at Yankee Stadium
in the Boogee down Bronx.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's right there, he was. Luca.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Is it Yankee Stadium to hang out with his fellow
Nike brand celebrity, Aaron Judge. There they were side by
side in the Bronx, and Luca was schmoozing on the
Yes Network with.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Michael Kay and David Kohene.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
How do I know that because I was watching some
of the Yankee Rays game, and much to my dismay,
there was Luca right there. So either this was orchestrated
by Lucas team or Men's Health is now part of
the pr arm for the Lakers. We're supposed to believe
that Luca has now become the poster boy for clean eating,
(05:10):
clean living in two days. It's all right there in
the article, as we know, and based on the people
that reached out to me. I did not hear from Rick, Oh,
I'm surprised, but all the other Laker Hawks they reached
out to me. This is straight up you know what
it is Laker fan porn. That's what it is. It's
Laker fan porn. Now we see this kind of story
(05:32):
every year about pick your athlete, right, this happens to
be about Luke obviously, but the.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Best shape of his life totally locked in now.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In this one, they're talking about Luca being gluten free,
sugar free, all Men milkshakes, gave me some Tom Brady vibes,
all min milkshakes, two hundred and fifty grams of protein
a day. He's sitting all the key health things that
are coming in on the internet, those influencers, all the protein,
(06:03):
almond milk, all that stuff. This is the fluffiest of
fluff pieces that I have read in a while. And
as I was reading this story, I was wondering if
it was ghost written by Luca's mother. I thought maybe
his mom might have written the story here. And you
have to ask a question, did Luca take ozempic? Anytime
(06:25):
someone loses a fair amount of ways ozempic did they cheat?
Are we supposed to sit here also and pretend me
and you that Luca's going to be doing two days
during the NBA season. You know, the smart money says
that he'll be hanging out at happy hour at some
bar in Minnesota, because the Lakers will have a night
off before they played the Timberwolves, and he'll be drinking
(06:47):
zemas at the happy hour there at the bar in Minnesota,
right here at the Target Center.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Now here's the other thing, all right, what is the
old adage? All adages are old, But what is the adage?
The adage that I like to go by. Don't tell
people your plans, show them your results. You can't show
anyone the results on a random day in late July.
The results will happen, not even at the beginning of
(07:13):
the year. I don't doubt Luca's gonna come out to
be fine the beginning of the year. But if you
want to show that you're truly a new Luca, then
let's try not huffing and puffing. When the Lakers play
in Game seventy four against the Nuggets in Denver, in
the Mile High City, and it's the third quarter and
(07:34):
Luca needs to go to the bench because he's gassed.
That would be how you can show everyone, hey, I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
A new Luca.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We'll also point out this little gem of an article
by Men's Health said that look at a forty two
inch vertical at the combine. There's one little problem with
that part of the story. Luca didn't go to the
combine when he was entering the NBA, So they deleted
that from the story. And there's some internet speculation that
that part of the story was generated by.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Google AI that day. Just Google ai.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It and so that slop was delivered via the AI
and the editors did not even bother to fact check it.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's it. Now we've seen more believable writing.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know you.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I was spar with you. The wife she goes by
Yelp reviews and Amazon reviews and I try to tell
her they can't believe that stuff. There's a lot of manipulation.
There's businesses whose job is to put fake reviews on
those type places.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But anyway, we move on.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So Lucas according to this, he said, what fifteen pounds
looks amazing game three inches on his vertical. Now, if
this is true, if this is true. Does that not validate?
Does that not validate? Nico Harrison? Nico Harrison the Dallas
GM that he was right that all those stories that
(09:01):
were dropped at Luca with Dallas, Luka Doncik was a
big fat tub of goo with the Mavericks right, and
Harrison fat shaming Luca inspired him to get off his
fat ass and take the ozapick and get in shape.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So Mark, it's also possible this is all.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Part of the latest Lakers offseason propaganda playbook, which we've
seen the Cowboys do the same thing the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
They throw these propaganda pieces out there.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You gotta sell hope. You gotta sell hype. You're in
the show business. You gotta sell hype. You gotta sell hope,
all that, and apparently you have to sell men's health
as well. And again, well, we'll see back in March
and April next NBA season will be uh, we'll be
right back behind these microphones and we'll see where Luca's
at And will he have tweaked his hammy? Did the
(09:54):
hammy go way amy because he had too many donuts
and he misses three weeks late in the season.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
We'll see if we get those Well.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You know, he ate too much on the road, and
he's off the diet and now he's got you know,
he's got to lose a few.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Pounds, all right. Now. Secondly, we go to Washington.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
This one goes out to supermarket Steve by request and
also by request for Benito, the long suffering Cowboy fan.
He wanted us discuss a viral video from something we
don't normally talk about the w NBA. Now, normally I
would object to this. I like the story, and since
I have editorial control, I have made the decision that
(10:32):
this is a story.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Worthy of being mentioned.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A malamnologue does not evolve Caitlin Clark involves a game
between the Mystics and Mercury. We're told apparently those are
w NBA teams. This story spread like wildfire on the interweb.
The reason the story spread like wildfire on the interweb
is because it showed a player losing their wig during
(10:56):
a w NBA game. Caused a pause in the action.
And the thing that stands out is a couple of
things that stand out, so the incident was ignored by
the broadcasters. A couple of women. I don't know who
these women are, but they're calling a WNBA game. One
of the players loses their hair and they don't mention it.
(11:21):
She ran off the court to get it put back
on it, all that stuff, and there was a stoppage
in play and they decided that was not worthy of mentioning.
We also saw a fan ejected for heckling the hairy situation,
So the broadcasters do not discuss the weave induced stoppage,
(11:41):
and then a fan got ejected for heckling the players.
So what didn't you take away from the latest viral
hairy WNBA moment?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Three words? Total clown show. Okay, total clinch.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
This is great. And they said Vaudeville was dead. Watch
a WNBA game sometime. Holy crap. We got wigs flying
in the air everywhere, players running off the court like
they've seen a ghost and they're running from a haunted mansion.
Broadcasters acting like they just witnessed a nuclear event and
they weren't allowed to talk about it. All of that happened.
(12:24):
All of that happened, Like, what the hell are we doing? Seriously,
it's the masquerade ball, is what you had? Literally hair
off the woman's head got snatched off a player's head
during live game action and the announcers they go like
(12:44):
that classic from the old TV show Hogan's Heroes. I
say nothing, I know nothing essentially within it. It's like
a little malfunction, I think, is what they said.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
If I remember, like a little malfunction. What don't we
call it?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What? It is?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
A piece of the hair the wig thing got ripped
off mid play. That's what happened. It's not a malfunction.
That is a prop coming off. It's like a high
school play and a prop comes off, and instead of
addressing the issue there, the broadcasters dance around it like
it's Baltimore from Harry Potter, right, he who shall not
(13:22):
be named? And you just move on, like what are
they afraid of? Like, I don't understand. Am I missing
something here? Is there some kind of big wig out
there that's gonna complain? You can't talk about the way
it's that's the fire breathing dragon in the room, as
I understand it from the video that I saw. That's
the fire breathing dragon in the room. And let's just
(13:44):
pretend it's just a nice warm breeze.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's all it is. It's all you know.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And by the way, if the fans are not allowed
to have. Is that not the most heckable situation? I
don't know what the fans said, but I mean, based
on the report I read, was it was just a
fan heckling person's running off the court because they lost
their hair. So if you can't heckle that, if you
get tossed out of a game for pointing out what
(14:09):
everyone in the arena apparently saw, then why doesn't the
WNBA just go back to COVID era social distancing? Just
playing empty gyms and that's it. Just pump in fake
crowd noise. They probably do that anyway and keep everyone
away and no one will say mean things.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And everyone be happy and it'll be.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Great and it'd be solid, right, just just it's ridiculous. Say,
turn this into the circ Thu Sola Act, and that's
what they've done. You're not allowed to laugh, you can't poke,
fun and all that stuff. You're supposed to just clap politely.
That's it. It's like Shakespeare at the Park. That's all
(14:48):
you do, and that's it. And this is part of
the identity crisis that that league has.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
The w NBA.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
As I psycho analyze, using psycho to analyze this if
you want to be taken seriously.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
If you want to be taken seriously, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm not there yet because I've seen the lack of
interest other than Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But you cannot censor you cannot censor reality, and that's
what they're trying to do here, even if it makes
you uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
You can't If that same situation, which very unlikely to
happen in the actual NBA, but if that happened in
the NBA, it would have been on inside the NBA
for months. You would have had Shack in a fool.
Every single episode would have been They would have shown that, right,
(15:42):
Charles Barkley would have worn a wig during the show
back in those old days on TNT. I don't know
if espanel all of that, but then somebody would rip
the wig off and that.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Would be how they do it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The awkwardness is the story own it Instead, what does
the WNBA do. It's like Well Islands and let's not
talk about it. Let's kick a fan out and it's
a malfunction. That was a WNBA version of no nudity.
But the greatest moment in Super Bowl history at halftime
(16:13):
the Janet Jackson nip slip, the wardrobe malfunction, and the
WNBA had something that would have if they'd embraced, it
would have been wonderful. Instead, it's like, oh, let's not
talk about that all right now, final thought, we go
to soccer. As I try to have no one listening.
My goal is to make all of you turn off
the show WNBA to soccer. Clearly, I've lost my mind.
(16:36):
But this is a good story, rare and appropriate, rare
and appropriate. Quick right, So I was reading recently the
commissioner someone named Don Garber. I don't know who that is,
but Don Garber, I'm told, the commissioner of Big Soccer
in America. So he proudly proclaimed recently that Major League
Soccer viewership is up fifty percent on Apple TV plus.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He calls it progress. What say you?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
All?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Right? So this is spinning.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
This is like a Roulette wheel at Caesar's Palace, Right,
you just spin that Roulette wheel?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Can I get red? Can I stop on red?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Stopped on green? Zero? Oh no?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
A friendly reminder if you play roulette, do not play
any roulette game with three green slots. Try to find
one with one green slot. But do not play three
green numbers, you know, zero, double zero. Do not that
the odds are completely against you. Anyway, back to the
soccer story, so Garber told the gathered media recently, the
(17:42):
same media who never really questioned anything that they do.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
They're all fanboys.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And he said that MLS games are now averaging one
hundred and twenty thousand viewers on Apple Plus. He said
that's a fifty percent jump from last year they had
eighty thousand. So pop the champagne we here we go
more like pop the bubble pop goes the bubble, pop
(18:10):
the bubble.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The executives are living in reality check.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Reality check, one hundred and twenty thousand people is barely
a rounding error in big sporty, right, big sporty in America.
That's not a win. That is an indictment. Your product
blows is what that is.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
There are some kind of public access channels in Omaha
that get better numbers. There are fewer people watching soccer
than a rerun of Family Feud that is on local
television at four in the morning. In fact, dare I say,
this little overnight show that you're listening to right now
(18:51):
has a much bigger audience than Major League Soccer does.
If you go by the people listening live and on
the podcast, and we do the show live when ninety
nine percent of America is sleeping, and yet we have
bigger numbers than a league that brought in Lionel Messi
and he's in an MLS uniform. Messi's out there arguably
(19:13):
the most famous athlete in the world playing in your league.
You still cannot draw numbers to even match the old
TV deal. Oh, streaming down, But they were on ABC
and we used to goof on him. The final year
they were on Disney ABC, MLS Soccer had three hundred
and forty three thousand viewers per game. So now on
(19:34):
Apple they have one hundred and twenty thousand. Using malormath,
that is a sixty five percent, if my math is correct,
a sixty five percent decline in audience.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You know what that is in real business? A catastrophe
is what that is.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right, if you ran Walmart and you're in Arkansas, you're
running Walmart and you lost sixty five percent of your
customer base year to year, you wouldn't declare bankruptcy, is
what you would do. Oh my god, we've lost sixty
five percent of our customers in the MLS. They live,
(20:11):
you know, the sixty five percent decline an audience, and
they rebranded as growth.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Its growth Now my entire life since I was a
little kid.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm now kidding, kind of old, but when I was
a little kid, soccer fans, when I was a kid,
I remember playing you. I played you soccer when I
was a kid, and they told me, when you're an adult,
little Benny, little fat Bennie, soccer is going to be
soul popul It's gonna be more popular than all the
big sports you're watching right now.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Bank on it.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
They told me that they lie to me, and they're
lying to people now. This is the big lie that
soccer is going to dominate America. No one's watching the MLS.
Nobody cares about the MLS. Check back in twenty seventy five.
I'll be dead, but check back in twenty seventy five.
Right in twenty twenty five, the year we live in.
(20:59):
Right now, they are stuck in the shadows, right And
the only time people really pay any attention is national
pride to soccer, and that's the World Cup. People give
what they care about soccer. When you're wrapping yourself in
the flag. All the wise, it is relevant to the
average consumer of American sport. It's you throw some tech
(21:19):
jargon out there and you say, well, it's subscription based
and all that stuff in a parallel universe.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm sure they're doing great in the real world. Not
so much. All right, it's Ben Malo Show. We press on.

JT.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
The Wingman in Knoxville, Tennessee, says Mercury trolling motor is
the answer. Mark in Santa Monica says his list of
dumbest tattoo post is the answer.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Who else you have got, Paige Dan.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Let's see FSR fact checker says Mallard included a segment
running the WNBA the third hour. It says mostly true.
That was a small piece. It was mostly just goofing
on the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
What else we have? Page down? I can't read that.
Let's see. You're all right, Lorrainer, do you have an answer? Larader.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Well, Ben, as you know, most trolls belong under bridges,
So I think he's trolling the bridge throwing a.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Bridge, all right, that is completely wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hornet Star LaMelo Balls tattoo artist admitted to trolling when
he posted a photo claiming LaMelo Ball got a tattoo
of hot Cheetos on his toes like the logo of
the hot Cheetos on his foot.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, he said it was somebody got the tattoo, but
not LaMelo Ball. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Andre is in the Commonwealth with his dog Willis.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Hello, Andre, Welcome.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
What's going on? Ben? How you doing talking about LaMelo
Ball and these these tattoos that he got? First of all,
the Lamelowies do a little bit more winning, right. He's
down there in Charlotte under the capable leadership of Charles
Lee coming from the Celtics bench. Uh, and you know,
talking about Ted, how about they get out of the basement.
(27:54):
You know, the team is so bad, you know, not
only does it defend Willis, you know, but it's like
the NBA. They can't even send them top draft picks. Right,
you're tanking to get into the Cooper Flags weep Stakes.
But you're such a more abun franchise without leadership that
we can't send Cooper there because we're.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Well listen, I would like to see the Hornets do well.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
They have a Fox Sports radio alumnus, Sam Farber, the
play by play guy for the Charlotte Hornets, used to
work here, so I'll look Willis approves of that man, Willis.
I am so impressed. Willis has grown up every time.
Willis now is part of the show.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
He's motivated. Bit, you know, because you're talking basketball now.
But we we've been fired up this entire this entire
episode because of you started off with Major League Baseball, okay,
and them trying to hamstring the players. We're having none
of it. Willis is having none of this talking about
a salary cap, okay, which is a tax on players
to begin with, right, you noted it? Okay, we all
saw the movie Moneyball, all right, we know what Billy
(28:51):
Bean was cooking up there. Okay, you can you got
to be It's about effective leadership. It's not about a
dog on salary cap. Okay, So bright start for going
toe to toe with the commissioner. Now ranted, I think
mister Scott Boris had a little bit to do. He's
fun that a little bit. I don't know if it
was a hawk Kogan, Roddy Roddy Poucher showed it. Roddy
Roddy Piper excused me. We're in the auto eighties this week.
Then it's just a lot of nostalgia this week. That's
(29:12):
going down for sure. But I don't know if it
happened exactly as Scott Boris, who you actually said leaked
that story, said it happened, okay, but it might as
well because Baseball Union not going for it at all. Okay,
and Rob Bamford should know that we don't need a
strike in baseball. Look what happened in the nineties. As
a matter of fact, as this is an important point,
baseball never mind trending in the right direction. They cut
(29:34):
the length of the games.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Beautiful.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
People can watch it right.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
They Now, let me tell you what I've heard and
who you know. This stuff changes by the day. But
what I've heard is the plan. They are going to
push for a salary cap. But then the players are
going to say, show us the books. They're not going
to open the books. Fully, that's not going to happen.
So then they'll they'll have to come up with a compromise,
and which will likely be more penalties. To teams like
the Dodgers and the Yankees that spent a lot of money,
(30:00):
they'll put more penalties to avoid them.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Spending a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Of course, they won't do anything about teams like Sacramento
and Miami and Pittsburgh that don't spend any money.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
They won't do anything about that.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
That's right, Ben, all right, so it's all smoking marriage.
Nobody's going for it, all right? Then if they need
the calvary to show up, you can see Willis is
here ready to go. Okay, But thinking with the base
boy and conclusion, it needs to be noted what we
need now with all these positive things, the viewership is up,
we need the automated ball strike system, is it?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
No, we don't.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
It's not about robot empire. It's about getting the call right.
So that's going to be the next name, the Baseball
Automated ball strike System. These umpires are interfering with.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
The are sure, aren't you a referee? Aren't you a referee?
This is what you want? You want to be replaced
by replay?
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Come on, then well Manford came out. He said, it's
not about the Ai Revolution, which by the way, is
taking over.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Shout out, do you really believe anything?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Rob Manford says, I take him with a exactly. You
know he's he's got an agenda. Everyone's got an agenda.
We disagree, but it doesn't matter what I say. It's
gonna happen. It'll be in baseball next year. I gotta go,
thank the great Andre and his dog. Well, let's sello
to Tony in the Bay Area. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Tony? Welcome?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Hey man.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
The other day I woke up hungover and when I
opened my eyes, I was looking at my bowling ball.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Turns out it with Jada Pinkett. Thanks Ben, all right,
don't talk about Will Smith's wife. Well, keep my wife's
name out of your mouth. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Let's go to Stanley, who's in the Commonwealth. What's going on? Stanley?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Welcome?
Speaker 9 (31:43):
They've sent a while. How you doing.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Where have you been hiding?
Speaker 9 (31:46):
Stanley at the black Job?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
Just kidding me.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
I'm not working. So so everybody's giving my boy, my
former teammates, high school teammate and roommate, Christian will give
some a hard time. I think the Raiders just did
that on purpose to cut salary, because the Raiders have
a terrible, terrible track record when they come to sending
(32:10):
big names, and for some reason they don't want to
pay the rest of the contract, so they try to
get ri the people for the dumbast things.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Now you're referring to the report that Christian Wilkins one
of the things that upset the rate of locker room
was he kissed a player on the back of the head.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Suppose, right, that's.
Speaker 9 (32:28):
The allegedly allegedly I mean.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
So allegedly. Is he going to sue us?
Speaker 3 (32:32):
I don't know. Maybe.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
I mean there are there are videos of previous acts
those aren't alleged that we can see the guy's nuts.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Did he Did he do that when you were around
him and you say you played with him? Did he
have the guys sausage, the twigging berries?
Speaker 9 (32:46):
Non e didn't be none of that.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I mean, because you are a team you were you
were his teammate.
Speaker 9 (32:51):
Oh dude. One thing that he did was uh, what's
it called again? Just just being ext When I say
being that should just you know, when the situation is
just like it's had a it's at a six sometimes
you take it at the time. We just look at
him like, hey, if you wants such a lovable.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Guy, he's the guy that always you know, guy at
the bar that always wants to get into a fight,
that guy you know, overreacts to everything, ready to fight
fighting poster.
Speaker 5 (33:21):
No, No, I wouldn't say overreact.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
It's more of a sense of just like you know
how like the Chiefs would say, oh, you're forcing it,
you know what I'm saying, like, yeah, that, but it's
just a child.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
There's some chatter that the Patriots are interested, so maybe
you'll be going to your area and play for the Patriots.
A Verbel said, we're gonna investigate. We're gonna investigate Wilkins,
so maybe they'll bring him.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
In to maybe maybe this is the plan all along, Like.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Ab oh, you think he tanked the Raiders to go
to the Patriots, that this was all part of an
evil cloak and dagger mission, that all it took was
a kiss and he could leave the Raiders. I like that,
all right, call me more. I gotta go stand, but
thank you. Let's go to hollering James. I need some
contestants or else We're not gonna play Mallers amount of money?

for supporting and being a loyal minion of the Ben
Malors Show podcast. We're gonna bounce around some hodgepodge of
things this hour.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We begin with.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
What do you make of this Luka Doncik story from
Men's Health ripped greatest shape of his life? I think
he took ozampic. Also, what did you take away from
the latest viral WNBA moment a player lost her wig
during a game and the announcers ignored it. They pretended
like it didn't happen. I don't know how you could
(00:41):
do that. We'll discuss. Also, I was reading that the
commissioner Don Garber proudly proclaimed that Major League Soccer's viewership
is up fifty percent on Apple TV plus. He called
it progress. What do you call it? What do you say?
Talk about that?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
As well?
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's all coming your way right now here. It is
is our number three. From Hookah Luca to Skinny Minnie Luca,
Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Maler Show. We are in the air everywhere, cheek to
(01:20):
cheek as we are cruising and bruising coast to coast,
border to border and beyond on the vast and sublimely
powerful microphones of fsr ammadating live from the dots as
we connect the dots together from the Fox Sports Radio studios,
(01:41):
as approved by Nostradinas. He lives in Seattle. I met
him at the Malor meeting web did years ago in
the mighty Pacific Northwest. And so not only am I
distant relative of Nostre Damas, I'm a friend of Nostredena's
and no Stredenus knows. This portion of the Ben Malor
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire
Iraq That's right tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
For over forty.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right
tires for how, what and where they drive, like Kathy
and Madison, ship fast and freeback by free road hazard protection,
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire iraq
dot Com the Way Tire Buying Show. I'd be so
(02:26):
our lead. This hour is from Men's Health. Do we
read Men's Health?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
No? Did we even know that was still around? No? There,
several of you idiots sent me the stories. Did you
see this?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Oh you're gonna you're gonna will You're gonna regret this,
Oh man, Luca's gonna.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Run la man. Okay. So yeah, you know this came
from the historians.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
So skinny Luca has gone viral, gone global. I'm told
this is a big deal. I'm supposed to be excited
about this. So I don't he saw it, But there's
Luca walk looking down the catwalk doing a pirouet. A
braggadocio interview from Luca about the great condition, great condition
(03:10):
he is in now he has reshaped his body, says
Men's Health. So let us discuss the question, what do
you make of Luca Luka dancik this story from Men's Health,
which basically describes his chisel body. He's ripped, greatest shape
(03:31):
of his life, all the usual rigamaroor. So I've got
happy Hour, shacking a fool, and Walmart, and we will
combine all of these things together, and we are going
to make the baba ganooche is what we're gonna make.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We're gonna make some fresh baba ganooche. Get the egg
plant out.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
So, first of all, as we understand it, as we
understand it, this entire period of time, the Men's Health.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Article everything else that's been going on the last couple.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Of days has been choreographed by Luca's publicist. The Little
Birdie tells us that one of Lucas published Luca's publicists, who.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
May or may not work for Nike, has been very active.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Not only did the Men's Health article drop coincided conveniently
the same day, guess who popped up at Yankee Stadium
in the Boogee down Bronx.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
That's right there, he was. Luca.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Is it Yankee Stadium to hang out with his fellow
Nike brand celebrity, Aaron Judge. There they were side by
side in the Bronx, and Luca was schmoozing on the
Yes Network with.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Michael Kay and David Kohene.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
How do I know that because I was watching some
of the Yankee Rays game, and much to my dismay,
there was Luca right there. So either this was orchestrated
by Lucas team or Men's Health is now part of
the pr arm for the Lakers. We're supposed to believe
that Luca has now become the poster boy for clean eating,
(05:10):
clean living in two days. It's all right there in
the article, as we know, and based on the people
that reached out to me. I did not hear from Rick, Oh,
I'm surprised, but all the other Laker Hawks they reached
out to me. This is straight up you know what
it is Laker fan porn. That's what it is. It's
Laker fan porn. Now we see this kind of story
(05:32):
every year about pick your athlete, right, this happens to
be about Luke obviously, but the.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Best shape of his life totally locked in now.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In this one, they're talking about Luca being gluten free,
sugar free, all Men milkshakes, gave me some Tom Brady vibes,
all min milkshakes, two hundred and fifty grams of protein
a day. He's sitting all the key health things that
are coming in on the internet, those influencers, all the protein,
(06:03):
almond milk, all that stuff. This is the fluffiest of
fluff pieces that I have read in a while. And
as I was reading this story, I was wondering if
it was ghost written by Luca's mother. I thought maybe
his mom might have written the story here. And you
have to ask a question, did Luca take ozempic? Anytime
(06:25):
someone loses a fair amount of ways ozempic did they cheat?
Are we supposed to sit here also and pretend me
and you that Luca's going to be doing two days
during the NBA season. You know, the smart money says
that he'll be hanging out at happy hour at some
bar in Minnesota, because the Lakers will have a night
off before they played the Timberwolves, and he'll be drinking
(06:47):
zemas at the happy hour there at the bar in Minnesota,
right here at the Target Center.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And that's it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Now here's the other thing, all right, what is the
old adage? All adages are old, But what is the adage?
The adage that I like to go by. Don't tell
people your plans, show them your results. You can't show
anyone the results on a random day in late July.
The results will happen, not even at the beginning of
(07:13):
the year. I don't doubt Luca's gonna come out to
be fine the beginning of the year. But if you
want to show that you're truly a new Luca, then
let's try not huffing and puffing. When the Lakers play
in Game seventy four against the Nuggets in Denver, in
the Mile High City, and it's the third quarter and
(07:34):
Luca needs to go to the bench because he's gassed.
That would be how you can show everyone, hey, I'm.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
A new Luca.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We'll also point out this little gem of an article
by Men's Health said that look at a forty two
inch vertical at the combine. There's one little problem with
that part of the story. Luca didn't go to the
combine when he was entering the NBA, So they deleted
that from the story. And there's some internet speculation that
that part of the story was generated by.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Google AI that day. Just Google ai.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It and so that slop was delivered via the AI
and the editors did not even bother to fact check it.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
That's it. Now we've seen more believable writing.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know you.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I was spar with you. The wife she goes by
Yelp reviews and Amazon reviews and I try to tell
her they can't believe that stuff. There's a lot of manipulation.
There's businesses whose job is to put fake reviews on
those type places.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
But anyway, we move on.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
So Lucas according to this, he said, what fifteen pounds
looks amazing game three inches on his vertical. Now, if
this is true, if this is true. Does that not validate?
Does that not validate? Nico Harrison? Nico Harrison the Dallas
GM that he was right that all those stories that
(09:01):
were dropped at Luca with Dallas, Luka Doncik was a
big fat tub of goo with the Mavericks right, and
Harrison fat shaming Luca inspired him to get off his
fat ass and take the ozapick and get in shape.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So Mark, it's also possible this is all.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Part of the latest Lakers offseason propaganda playbook, which we've
seen the Cowboys do the same thing the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
They throw these propaganda pieces out there.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You gotta sell hope. You gotta sell hype. You're in
the show business. You gotta sell hype. You gotta sell hope,
all that, and apparently you have to sell men's health
as well. And again, well, we'll see back in March
and April next NBA season will be uh, we'll be
right back behind these microphones and we'll see where Luca's
at And will he have tweaked his hammy? Did the
(09:54):
hammy go way amy because he had too many donuts
and he misses three weeks late in the season.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
We'll see if we get those Well.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
You know, he ate too much on the road, and
he's off the diet and now he's got you know,
he's got to lose a few.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Pounds, all right. Now. Secondly, we go to Washington.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
This one goes out to supermarket Steve by request and
also by request for Benito, the long suffering Cowboy fan.
He wanted us discuss a viral video from something we
don't normally talk about the w NBA. Now, normally I
would object to this. I like the story, and since
I have editorial control, I have made the decision that
(10:32):
this is a story.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Worthy of being mentioned.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
A malamnologue does not evolve Caitlin Clark involves a game
between the Mystics and Mercury. We're told apparently those are
w NBA teams. This story spread like wildfire on the interweb.
The reason the story spread like wildfire on the interweb
is because it showed a player losing their wig during
(10:56):
a w NBA game. Caused a pause in the action.
And the thing that stands out is a couple of
things that stand out, so the incident was ignored by
the broadcasters. A couple of women. I don't know who
these women are, but they're calling a WNBA game. One
of the players loses their hair and they don't mention it.
(11:21):
She ran off the court to get it put back
on it, all that stuff, and there was a stoppage
in play and they decided that was not worthy of mentioning.
We also saw a fan ejected for heckling the hairy situation,
So the broadcasters do not discuss the weave induced stoppage,
(11:41):
and then a fan got ejected for heckling the players.
So what didn't you take away from the latest viral
hairy WNBA moment?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Three words? Total clown show. Okay, total clinch.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
This is great. And they said Vaudeville was dead. Watch
a WNBA game sometime. Holy crap. We got wigs flying
in the air everywhere, players running off the court like
they've seen a ghost and they're running from a haunted mansion.
Broadcasters acting like they just witnessed a nuclear event and
they weren't allowed to talk about it. All of that happened.
(12:24):
All of that happened, Like, what the hell are we doing? Seriously,
it's the masquerade ball, is what you had? Literally hair
off the woman's head got snatched off a player's head
during live game action and the announcers they go like
(12:44):
that classic from the old TV show Hogan's Heroes. I
say nothing, I know nothing essentially within it. It's like
a little malfunction, I think, is what they said.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
If I remember, like a little malfunction. What don't we
call it?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
What? It is?
Speaker 1 (12:58):
A piece of the hair the wig thing got ripped
off mid play. That's what happened. It's not a malfunction.
That is a prop coming off. It's like a high
school play and a prop comes off, and instead of
addressing the issue there, the broadcasters dance around it like
it's Baltimore from Harry Potter, right, he who shall not
(13:22):
be named? And you just move on, like what are
they afraid of? Like, I don't understand. Am I missing
something here? Is there some kind of big wig out
there that's gonna complain? You can't talk about the way
it's that's the fire breathing dragon in the room, as
I understand it from the video that I saw. That's
the fire breathing dragon in the room. And let's just
(13:44):
pretend it's just a nice warm breeze.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
That's all it is. It's all you know.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And by the way, if the fans are not allowed
to have. Is that not the most heckable situation? I
don't know what the fans said, but I mean, based
on the report I read, was it was just a
fan heckling person's running off the court because they lost
their hair. So if you can't heckle that, if you
get tossed out of a game for pointing out what
(14:09):
everyone in the arena apparently saw, then why doesn't the
WNBA just go back to COVID era social distancing? Just
playing empty gyms and that's it. Just pump in fake
crowd noise. They probably do that anyway and keep everyone
away and no one will say mean things.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
And everyone be happy and it'll be.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Great and it'd be solid, right, just just it's ridiculous. Say,
turn this into the circ Thu Sola Act, and that's
what they've done. You're not allowed to laugh, you can't poke,
fun and all that stuff. You're supposed to just clap politely.
That's it. It's like Shakespeare at the Park. That's all
(14:48):
you do, and that's it. And this is part of
the identity crisis that that league has.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
The w NBA.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
As I psycho analyze, using psycho to analyze this if
you want to be taken seriously.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
If you want to be taken seriously, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I'm not there yet because I've seen the lack of
interest other than Caitlin Clark.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
But you cannot censor you cannot censor reality, and that's
what they're trying to do here, even if it makes
you uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
You can't If that same situation, which very unlikely to
happen in the actual NBA, but if that happened in
the NBA, it would have been on inside the NBA
for months. You would have had Shack in a fool.
Every single episode would have been They would have shown that, right,
(15:42):
Charles Barkley would have worn a wig during the show
back in those old days on TNT. I don't know
if espanel all of that, but then somebody would rip
the wig off and that.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Would be how they do it.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
The awkwardness is the story own it Instead, what does
the WNBA do. It's like Well Islands and let's not
talk about it. Let's kick a fan out and it's
a malfunction. That was a WNBA version of no nudity.
But the greatest moment in Super Bowl history at halftime
(16:13):
the Janet Jackson nip slip, the wardrobe malfunction, and the
WNBA had something that would have if they'd embraced, it
would have been wonderful. Instead, it's like, oh, let's not
talk about that all right now, final thought, we go
to soccer. As I try to have no one listening.
My goal is to make all of you turn off
the show WNBA to soccer. Clearly, I've lost my mind.
(16:36):
But this is a good story, rare and appropriate, rare
and appropriate. Quick right, So I was reading recently the
commissioner someone named Don Garber. I don't know who that is,
but Don Garber, I'm told, the commissioner of Big Soccer
in America. So he proudly proclaimed recently that Major League
Soccer viewership is up fifty percent on Apple TV plus.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
He calls it progress. What say you?
Speaker 3 (17:05):
All?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Right? So this is spinning.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
This is like a Roulette wheel at Caesar's Palace, Right,
you just spin that Roulette wheel?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Can I get red? Can I stop on red?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Stopped on green? Zero? Oh no?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
A friendly reminder if you play roulette, do not play
any roulette game with three green slots. Try to find
one with one green slot. But do not play three
green numbers, you know, zero, double zero. Do not that
the odds are completely against you. Anyway, back to the
soccer story, so Garber told the gathered media recently, the
(17:42):
same media who never really questioned anything that they do.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
They're all fanboys.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
And he said that MLS games are now averaging one
hundred and twenty thousand viewers on Apple Plus. He said
that's a fifty percent jump from last year they had
eighty thousand. So pop the champagne we here we go
more like pop the bubble pop goes the bubble, pop
(18:10):
the bubble.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
The executives are living in reality check.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Reality check, one hundred and twenty thousand people is barely
a rounding error in big sporty, right, big sporty in America.
That's not a win. That is an indictment. Your product
blows is what that is.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Right.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
There are some kind of public access channels in Omaha
that get better numbers. There are fewer people watching soccer
than a rerun of Family Feud that is on local
television at four in the morning. In fact, dare I say,
this little overnight show that you're listening to right now
(18:51):
has a much bigger audience than Major League Soccer does.
If you go by the people listening live and on
the podcast, and we do the show live when ninety
nine percent of America is sleeping, and yet we have
bigger numbers than a league that brought in Lionel Messi
and he's in an MLS uniform. Messi's out there arguably
(19:13):
the most famous athlete in the world playing in your league.
You still cannot draw numbers to even match the old
TV deal. Oh, streaming down, But they were on ABC
and we used to goof on him. The final year
they were on Disney ABC, MLS Soccer had three hundred
and forty three thousand viewers per game. So now on
(19:34):
Apple they have one hundred and twenty thousand. Using malormath,
that is a sixty five percent, if my math is correct,
a sixty five percent decline in audience.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You know what that is in real business? A catastrophe
is what that is.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Right, if you ran Walmart and you're in Arkansas, you're
running Walmart and you lost sixty five percent of your
customer base year to year, you wouldn't declare bankruptcy, is
what you would do. Oh my god, we've lost sixty
five percent of our customers in the MLS. They live,
(20:11):
you know, the sixty five percent decline an audience, and
they rebranded as growth.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
Its growth Now my entire life since I was a
little kid.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
I'm now kidding, kind of old, but when I was
a little kid, soccer fans, when I was a kid,
I remember playing you. I played you soccer when I
was a kid, and they told me, when you're an adult,
little Benny, little fat Bennie, soccer is going to be
soul popul It's gonna be more popular than all the
big sports you're watching right now.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Bank on it.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Right.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
They told me that they lie to me, and they're
lying to people now. This is the big lie that
soccer is going to dominate America. No one's watching the MLS.
Nobody cares about the MLS. Check back in twenty seventy five.
I'll be dead, but check back in twenty seventy five.
Right in twenty twenty five, the year we live in.
(20:59):
Right now, they are stuck in the shadows, right And
the only time people really pay any attention is national
pride to soccer, and that's the World Cup. People give
what they care about soccer. When you're wrapping yourself in
the flag. All the wise, it is relevant to the
average consumer of American sport. It's you throw some tech
(21:19):
jargon out there and you say, well, it's subscription based
and all that stuff in a parallel universe.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm sure they're doing great in the real world. Not
so much. All right, it's Ben Malo Show. We press on.

Donkey Sausage going with trolling wrestling fans by revealing who

From fergnog A post is on his big clucker from
Milkman Mike in Colorado. There you go, Alf says, I'm sorry, Ben,
I cannot answer the riddle. I heard WNBA and immediately

dozed off and missed the riddle. Bad job by me.
I was worried that was gonna happen. And just to
make sure you stay asleep, Olf, I talked soccer after that.
So literally what no one listened the show? I want
zero people listening. I want no credit for this hour,
no ratings. Nature Boy says trolling with his fat Luca post.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Far out.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Dave says he posted Malone whitey tidies with his custom
skid marks.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
All right.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
King Roy says kids school supplies is the answer.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
JT.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
The Wingman in Knoxville, Tennessee, says Mercury trolling motor is
the answer. Mark in Santa Monica says his list of
dumbest tattoo post is the answer.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Who else you have got, Paige Dan.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Let's see FSR fact checker says Mallard included a segment
running the WNBA the third hour. It says mostly true.
That was a small piece. It was mostly just goofing
on the WNBA.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
What else we have? Page down? I can't read that.
Let's see. You're all right, Lorrainer, do you have an answer? Larader.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Well, Ben, as you know, most trolls belong under bridges,
So I think he's trolling the bridge throwing a.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Bridge, all right, that is completely wrong.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Hornet Star LaMelo Balls tattoo artist admitted to trolling when
he posted a photo claiming LaMelo Ball got a tattoo
of hot Cheetos on his toes like the logo of
the hot Cheetos on his foot.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
No, he said it was somebody got the tattoo, but
not LaMelo Ball. Let's go to the phones.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Andre is in the Commonwealth with his dog Willis.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Hello, Andre, Welcome.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
What's going on? Ben? How you doing talking about LaMelo
Ball and these these tattoos that he got? First of all,
the Lamelowies do a little bit more winning, right. He's
down there in Charlotte under the capable leadership of Charles
Lee coming from the Celtics bench. Uh, and you know,
talking about Ted, how about they get out of the basement.
(27:54):
You know, the team is so bad, you know, not
only does it defend Willis, you know, but it's like
the NBA. They can't even send them top draft picks. Right,
you're tanking to get into the Cooper Flags weep Stakes.
But you're such a more abun franchise without leadership that
we can't send Cooper there because we're.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Well listen, I would like to see the Hornets do well.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
They have a Fox Sports radio alumnus, Sam Farber, the
play by play guy for the Charlotte Hornets, used to
work here, so I'll look Willis approves of that man, Willis.
I am so impressed. Willis has grown up every time.
Willis now is part of the show.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (28:28):
He's motivated. Bit, you know, because you're talking basketball now.
But we we've been fired up this entire this entire
episode because of you started off with Major League Baseball, okay,
and them trying to hamstring the players. We're having none
of it. Willis is having none of this talking about
a salary cap, okay, which is a tax on players
to begin with, right, you noted it? Okay, we all
saw the movie Moneyball, all right, we know what Billy
(28:51):
Bean was cooking up there. Okay, you can you got
to be It's about effective leadership. It's not about a
dog on salary cap. Okay, So bright start for going
toe to toe with the commissioner. Now ranted, I think
mister Scott Boris had a little bit to do. He's
fun that a little bit. I don't know if it
was a hawk Kogan, Roddy Roddy Poucher showed it. Roddy
Roddy Piper excused me. We're in the auto eighties this week.
Then it's just a lot of nostalgia this week. That's
(29:12):
going down for sure. But I don't know if it
happened exactly as Scott Boris, who you actually said leaked
that story, said it happened, okay, but it might as
well because Baseball Union not going for it at all. Okay,
and Rob Bamford should know that we don't need a
strike in baseball. Look what happened in the nineties. As
a matter of fact, as this is an important point,
baseball never mind trending in the right direction. They cut
(29:34):
the length of the games.
Speaker 5 (29:36):
Beautiful.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
People can watch it right.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
They Now, let me tell you what I've heard and
who you know. This stuff changes by the day. But
what I've heard is the plan. They are going to
push for a salary cap. But then the players are
going to say, show us the books. They're not going
to open the books. Fully, that's not going to happen.
So then they'll they'll have to come up with a compromise,
and which will likely be more penalties. To teams like
the Dodgers and the Yankees that spent a lot of money,
(30:00):
they'll put more penalties to avoid them.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Spending a lot of money.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Of course, they won't do anything about teams like Sacramento
and Miami and Pittsburgh that don't spend any money.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
They won't do anything about that.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
That's right, Ben, all right, so it's all smoking marriage.
Nobody's going for it, all right? Then if they need
the calvary to show up, you can see Willis is
here ready to go. Okay, But thinking with the base
boy and conclusion, it needs to be noted what we
need now with all these positive things, the viewership is up,
we need the automated ball strike system, is it?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
No, we don't.
Speaker 8 (30:33):
It's not about robot empire. It's about getting the call right.
So that's going to be the next name, the Baseball
Automated ball strike System. These umpires are interfering with.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
The are sure, aren't you a referee? Aren't you a referee?
This is what you want? You want to be replaced
by replay?
Speaker 8 (30:50):
Come on, then well Manford came out. He said, it's
not about the Ai Revolution, which by the way, is
taking over.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Shout out, do you really believe anything?
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Rob Manford says, I take him with a exactly. You
know he's he's got an agenda. Everyone's got an agenda.
We disagree, but it doesn't matter what I say. It's
gonna happen. It'll be in baseball next year. I gotta go,
thank the great Andre and his dog. Well, let's sello
to Tony in the Bay Area. What's going on?
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Tony? Welcome?
Speaker 3 (31:19):
Hey man.
Speaker 9 (31:20):
The other day I woke up hungover and when I
opened my eyes, I was looking at my bowling ball.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Turns out it with Jada Pinkett. Thanks Ben, all right,
don't talk about Will Smith's wife. Well, keep my wife's
name out of your mouth. Let's go.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Let's go to Stanley, who's in the Commonwealth. What's going on? Stanley?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Welcome?
Speaker 9 (31:43):
They've sent a while. How you doing.

I'm not working. So so everybody's giving my boy, my
former teammates, high school teammate and roommate, Christian will give
some a hard time. I think the Raiders just did
that on purpose to cut salary, because the Raiders have
a terrible, terrible track record when they come to sending
(32:10):
big names, and for some reason they don't want to
pay the rest of the contract, so they try to
get ri the people for the dumbast things.
Speaker 1 (32:18):

of the things that upset the rate of locker room
was he kissed a player on the back of the head.

just a child.
