He is set to make his Summer League debut tomorrow

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Hope all is well with you. We're back at it
again here and later this hour. If you stay with
us for the full hour, you will get ask Ben.
Your questions are answers. You can say of those questions
in on the Twitter machine at just hashtag ask Ben.
Very simple, should be interesting. Ethan will be the reader
of the questions. We'll see how that goes. But hashtag
(02:12):
ask Ben send those in and knock yourself out. But
are lead this hour coming from Lost Wages, Nevada, and
that is where the Summer League is going on. I
know you're excited about that. The NBA dropping some news
about the big event happening in the month of July.
It's gonna happen actually on Friday. That would be tomorrow,
(02:35):
seven to seven. It's kind of cool day seven to seven.
If you haven't heard yet, maybe not. In what has
been dubbed the most anticipated NBA Summer League game in
a generation. Wink wink, nod, nod, the game of the year.
The San Antonio Spurs with their number one pick, Victor
(02:56):
wemban Yama, set to make his first appearance in San
Antonio laundry, although it'll be in Vegas against the Charlotte Hornets.
Every single ticket everyone will have a man, woman or
child in those seats as they have sold all of them.
(03:18):
For the matchup at the Thomas and Mack Center in Vegas,
it will be packed to the gills, the home of
the Run and Revels. So let us discuss the question
Victor Wembanyama, the spurs number one pick summer League debut
sells out. What does that mean? So I've got Jacuzzi,
(03:38):
Bob Ross and carrots and we will combine all of
these things together and will lock them in place like legos.
Is what we're going to do. So, first of all,
my initial thought on this, it means Victor wen Manyama's
first game selling out. It means the Razmataz has been
(03:59):
seen successful. This is a feather in the cap of
the NBA marketing arm. For a couple of years now,
there have been people associated with the NBA that have
been pumping up the tires on Wemby, the Wemby Mobile,
and they've been puffing the Parisian prodigy. And now he's arrived.
(04:22):
He hadn't played a regular season game yet. But it
doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether he's great or whether
he sucks or is just average. The question is can
you convince the congregation of basketball fans to follow? And
when you look at the KPI on this, the answer
is a thunderous y e s yes. The key performance
(04:47):
indicators show that the great unwashed are bathing in a
jacuzzi of Victor Wembanyama hype right now. They're in the
jacuzzie and that they're bubbles and they're enjoying the bubbles
there Wemby Bubbles. Now, I understand a little bit about
(05:07):
marketing and sales, and we basically in the sales business.
When you do a radio show, and the most important
part are the commercials. My part is very unimportant. That's
why I've kept the job because management knows they don't
really care. It's all about the commercials. But humans are hardwired,
like Pavlov's dogs, to look for the next big thing
(05:30):
in whatever that might be, well, you want the faster car,
you want, the better car you want, the better computer
you want, the better phone you want. When you're dating,
you want the better other significant other. Right until you
lock one down, it's only going to empower the marketing.
Weasels at pro Bouncy Ball. This guy's been building as
the next big thing. Hoop fans have been bombarded from
(05:54):
all sides. Sensory overload, I'm talking touch site, hearing, smell,
and taste have been All of those things have been
submerged with marketing, and now here's the return on investment.
That's not really a summer league game. That matters. It's
regular season ticket sales. It's also merchandise, Its television ratings,
(06:15):
its advertiser engagement. All of those things are what matters,
and things are certainly promising at this point. All right,
moving away from that on page two year, I want
to go to Memphis, where everyone's favorite gun toting NBA
player John Morant, who is currently on exile, is exhilarated
to have Derek Rose in Memphis with him next season. Now,
(06:39):
first he has to serve the twenty five game suspension
of the Who's Gal for playing with guns on social media,
and ironically, it was a social media post by veteran
guard Isaiah Thomas, not the Pistons, Isaiah Thomas, the Celtics
version of Isaiah Thomas, and that posting proclaimed that Jah
(07:00):
Morant would be backing better than ever next season. And
it was posted by Isaiah Thomas, the old Celtic who
had that great year back in several years ago. Now,
but he was pumping up John Morant and he said
that d Rose Present is gonna have him on some
MVP and then he said the S words, so we'll
(07:21):
say crap and then he said watch now. That posting
caught the attention of Jahn Morant, who chimed in himself,
of course, and he quote tweeted Thomas the original comment
and said, quote, I'm gonna read this word for word,
so don't goof on me. Here's what he wrote. This
is Jahn Morant. He said, you two loud og they
(07:43):
gunna actually said they gunn, but gon they gunn feel me.
Fascioh yeah, that's what he said. Fa sho. Yeah, So
that's what he wrote. I'm just repeating. I'm I'm the messenger.
So how did can you interpret the ja Morant excitement
to play with Derek Rose, and you're gonna feel Jamran.
(08:09):
So this tells us that nothing has changed yet, that
Jamaran is still lurking in the gutter that is social media,
in the shadows, that he has not taken some kind
of hiatus. I know he's addicted. I get it. I
understand that's that's the public square. But this also means
sooner than later, he's inevitly gonna screw up again. He's
(08:33):
gonna post a video. One of his buddies is gonna
post a video of him looking like Rambo. I'm talking
bullets around the neck. I'm talking a gun on the shoulder,
one gun in the right hand, another gun in the
left hand. And Adam Silver is going to have a
coronary when he sees that particular posting, and it will
(08:55):
not be relatable to polite NBA society where that is
ta boo. So nobody has ever questioned that Ja Morant
as a basketball player is amazing. What a great talent.
It's kind of like painting, you know how. You have
some painters that are into portraits, or some are into
landscape or still life or abstract or whatever it might be.
(09:19):
Ja Morant. On the court, he's a landscape artist. He's
like Bob Ross on the hardwood. Every single performance, for
the most part, is a masterpiece. Off the court. That's
where he is no longer a landscape artist. He would
be compared to your child in kindergarten finger painting. A
(09:41):
lot of not so happy little mistakes. That's the rub. Now.
As for d Rose, I don't get the excitement. This
is one of those things when the legend becomes the fact,
you go with the legend. The legend of Derrick Rose
as an MVP for the Chicago Bulls has lived on.
He got a shelf life. Derek Rose as an NBA
(10:03):
player these days, is a shell of his former self.
For example, he was in the doghouse with the Knickerbockers
last year, played twelve minutes a game on average, and
he didn't play that many games last year last couple
of years. Rose is going to be thirty five next season.
It's been seven years, seven years since he played thirty
(10:23):
or more minutes a game. He's a part time player
and at this point he's about a fifteen minute a
game guy, and he gets hurt a lot. I'd say
the smart money is that Derek Rose ends up injured
prior to John Moran coming back. All right, final thought.
So the NBA also leaked that, and we talked about earlier.
(10:44):
If you were listening, the NBA leak that this new
Fugazi in season Tournament Final four will take place December
seventh and ninth in Lost Wages, Nevada in Vegas, Sin City,
and we are told that the statistics accumulated during every
game in the tournament will count towards the regular season
(11:05):
except for the championship game. Now that is interesting to
note that the NBA has an equally for gayse play
in tournament where those stats don't count for the regular
season and don't count for the postseason. They just kind
of float in the twilight zone. So why is Las
Vegas hosting the NBA's in season tournament. Well, this is
(11:28):
rather obvious. I don't think you need me to tell you.
It is telegraphed. It. It's like carrots. It's an extra
motivator to carrot on a stick. It is incentive to
motivate the players. Adam Silver knows that these guys don't
give a rats took us about regular season games. He's
more aware than anyone because he supported them and their mouthfeasons.
(11:52):
So why would they worry about a play in tournament.
Their answer is they won't. However, the lure of an
extra trip to Sin City that your employer is going
to pay, sign me up for that. Now, over the weekend,
we are told the NBA will also release specific details
(12:14):
about the in season tournament, the full list of dates,
the group drawings, the locations, the trophy unveiling all of that.
They're doing this on a Saturday. Now, why are they
doing that on a Saturday. They're doing it on a
Saturday because they know that very few people care about this.
It's called the soft launch. It's like opening up a
(12:35):
restaurant saying you're gonna open up the restaurant on Friday,
but you actually open it up on Tuesday, and you
open it up at like two o'clock in the afternoon,
past the lunch hour rush, just so everyone gets on
the same page. It's a soft launch. Well, this not
a soft launch. It's been around for a while. The
Ben Malor Show. If you would like to be part
(12:58):
of the program, you can join us here. We are Well,
we're talking to talk radio. I Talk and then you
call in if you want to talk, you can talk
as well eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox if
you want to be part. Also on Twitter, we are
on there. You can be part of that. At Ben Maler.
We're now on something called Threads. I don't really know
(13:18):
what that is, but I'm on there, so you can
follow me on Threads. And that's Ben Mahllor on Fox,
which is my same name that I have on Instagram.
And the great thing about Threads, I already like it,
even though there's nobody on there. It's like a ghost town.
I kind of like it because I didn't have to
pay eight bucks a month to be verified. I'm already verified.
(13:40):
So I would like to thank the people over there
for doing that, because Elon Musk wants me to pay
eight dollars a month and his product is not worth
eight dollars a month now. Neither is Threads, by the way,
But I didn't have to pay anything, so I'm okay
with that. Anyway. We'll press on time now for the
Mallord Riddle of the Day. The of the day, we
(14:01):
go back to the All England Club at Wimbledon. At Wimbledon,
a match was halted earlier this week after two protesters
stormed the court and began throwing blank again. A Wimbledon
match was stopped earlier this week after a couple of
protesters stormed the court and began throwing blank. That is
(14:24):
the Malor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get
to it. We'll do it next. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Mallor Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
You could be a one percenter study show the more
than two hundred and forty four million American adults listen
to the radio each month, but only one percent actually
contribute content. You can join that small fraternity at p
ones on the Ben Maler Show. It is painless and simple.
Just follow your host on Twitter. He's at Ben Mallor
and you could tweet at and follow our technical producer.
(15:02):
But he's not on Twitter or any other social media
that we know of, including that thing that Ben has
switched over to.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Time switched over. I'm still on Twitter. I just happened
to have added to my arsenal.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Maybe Mark will be on threads, but anyway, it's Mark.
He's in here. Playing the music and making sure things
run smoothly. And now live from the Tirack dot Com
Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Marcus told me he will not be going on threads,
but he will be buying some new threads. But he
will not be going on threads, he told me. Unless
I made that up. David in Pennsylvania Ice. He says,
you're entering right back into the demonic nut jobs who
don't believe in freedom of speech. Ben, he's my threads
unless it's coming from them because they lost Twitter. Beware
Ben of threads. Okay, listen, Twitter is not exactly the
(15:54):
Old West there, and my guy Tony Bruno got banned
from Twitter with Emon Musk the big boss over there,
so they're still Bannon people. I don't know what he did,
but must have been wonderful, but who knows. Anyway. Time
to pay off now. The Mallor Riddle of the day,
The Mallard Riddle of the day, and here it is.
At Wimbledon. A match was halted earlier this week after
(16:17):
two protesters stormed the court and began throwing blank Phil
in the blank Kyle got it right, but he obviously
cheated it's a bad job by him. Rod the Ambassador
of Bakersfield says, woke Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Yes,
that's exactly what they did right there. Who else we have?
(16:40):
Ferg Dog says leftover moldy hot dogs. Now I want
to stop oil too, He said, what else do we have?
Courtesy Flusher going with presidential cocaine that they threw out
in the court. Well, that would be a waste of that.
What do we have here? Gang signs guessed by Art
Puffin that's his answer. What else do we have? Page down?
(17:03):
Page down? Maverick says that he's decided to pass on
the riddle of the day, so he'll go with long
Live Alexa Bliss as his answer. Miguel on Fire says
they threw dirty underwear on the core. Well, that would
be something that would be that would be impressive. Matt
the Warrior Raider as fan says, they began throwing bottles
of delicious ranch dressing, well as not delicious and b
(17:26):
that would be a good protest because you'd be wasting
the ranch dressing and I think it would actually kill
the grass. The ranch dressing milkman Mike and Colorado says,
they threw a temper tantrum. Mayor Parker the snow Dog
from Denver's going with throwing Nathan's hot dogs as the answer,
Andrews says, just some good old fashioned feces was being thrown.
(17:49):
Donkey Sausage checks in with pickles. Yeah, you did that
to get a reaction out of Alf the Alien pickle,
That's what you did. Yeah, let's see, go Blue says
what they throw on the field that bills games a
word we've been told not to say. On Fox Sports Radio.
Eke in Rosevio, Minnesota going with Rocky Mountain Oysters. Alf
(18:11):
the Alien Opiner says, tea and crumpets. That's what all right?
Do you have an answer?

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yes, in honor of the fourth of July, they were
throwing the fireworks.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yes, well they have the fourth of July in England, Eddie,
But it's not quite a good day because they came
out on the wrong side of that. But the correct answer,
Eddie would be confetti. They man and a woman, a
couple of losers that are part of that cult. They
ran out there and they wore t shirts that set
that read just stop oil because that's a reasonable thing.
And I just have socieal world that's set up for oil.
(18:57):
Just stop it. Because a couple of losers ran out
of the all club. That makes sense on court eighteen,
Sure why not? And then they emptied boxes of orange
paper and jigsaw puzzle pieces while while everyone looked on
with bewilderment, They're like, what are those losers doing here?
We just want to watch some tennis. We want to
watch some people in all white play tennis. That's what
we would like to do. Let's go to the phones
(19:18):
and we'll take some calls here eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. If you want to be part eight
seven seven nine nine six six three six y nine,
if you want to be part of the program, and
we might be able to get change before we have
ask Ben your questions and our answers, and we have
an injury update. Injury update from Baseball. Nothing better than
(19:42):
a Baseball injury update out at Anaheim, where the Angels
are optimistic Angels in the outfield when it comes to show,
Hey Otani. You might remember on the fourth of July,
the Angel celebrated by having their entire team turn into
a firecracker and burn out up. Anthony Rendont left shin
(20:02):
brus he was on crutches. Mike Trout had surgery the
day after the July fourth holiday. He's out two months.
And what about Shoe Hee, Otani, you left to start
the Japanese phenom middle finger blister, so he gives you
the bird and Otani he's going to miss the All
Star Game because of a cracked nail. But the plan
(20:25):
is for him to start against the cheaters from Houston
right after the All Star Game. That's the plan. He'll
have ten days off and they can stretch it a
little further if they want, but his first start after
the break would be July fourteenth, and the plan is,
(20:45):
according to Phil Nevin, the Angels manager, that Otani will
be back on the mount, which is important because if
Otani can find a way to win the MVP and
the cy Young unlikely, but all the hype for this guy.
How much would he get? What are we looking at?
(21:07):
There is a limit? Does he get six hundred million dollars?
Is it five hundred million dollars? Is it more than that?
There's only so much you can pay. But he's a
picture and a hitter, right, that's the that's the whole,
the whole gimmick. There, that's the whole thing. So there
you go. All right, it is the Ben Malord Show.
(21:28):
We're going to have an extended extended Ask Ben, which
will be your questions and our answers. If you want
to send those in, keep sending them in right now.
Hashtag ask Ben on Twitter. That's the hashtag ask Ben
on Twitter. And we will get through a ton, well
maybe not an actual ton, a metaphoric ton. How many
(21:51):
questions would we have to get through for a ton?
That would be a whole lot, and I don't think
we time will not allow us to do that, but
you get the point. Get to the point, please anyway,
So we'll go we'll go there and have an extended
asspend But right now, let's get you caught up on
everything going on in the oh over night. And they're
(22:14):
right over there, we say hello to steamboat Willie better
known as Eddie Garci.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
All right, thanks Ben. Of course, we start with baseball
games of noteworthy. Braves had their nine game winning street
come to an end the night before, but they bounce
back with an eight to one win over the Guardians
in Cleveland. Atlanta now in Major League best fifty eight
and twenty eight on the season. Twins wrap up a
sweep of the Royals with a five to nothing shutout.
Find starting pitcher Pablo Lopez complete game, four hit shutout,
struck out twelve in the win, and right now it's
(22:43):
Minnesota a two game lead on Cleveland for first in
the AL Central. The Mets score two and the ninth
pull out a two to one win in Arizona over
the Doaminbacks, meaning while the Dodgers beat the Pirate six ' four,
so Arizona's lead on La down to a game and
a half. In the NL West, the Reds beat the
Nationals nine to two, while the Brewers lose to the
Cup four to three. Chicago with three in the ninth
to rally for the wins. So Cincinnati now with a
(23:03):
two game lead on Milwaukee atop the NL Central. Rangers
lose to the Red Sox four to two. Was the
Astros wrapping up a three game sleep with the Rockies
with a six to four win. Yannard Diez with two
homers for Houston as their two back of Texas in
the AL West Race. Ray's top team in the American League,
lost their fifth in a row. They followed the Phillies
eight to four. That's eleven straight road wins for Philadelphia.
(23:24):
Their starting pitcher Taiwan Walker earns his tenth win of
the year. Potterys get their first three game series sweep
of the season with the five through hit over the Angels.
As you mentioned the injury issues for the Angels, Mike
Trout did have surgery for his injured wrist, and he'll
be out four to eight weeks.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
When they say four to eighty eight weeks, Sadie, it's
eight weeks. He ain't coming back in four weeks. Eight weeks,
all right, Doctor Maller reported eight weeks from Michael baseball
injury recovery. If it's football, you take the under. In baseball,
you take the over.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Oils beat the Yankee six y three. You had the
Marlins walking off with a ten to nine win of
the Cardinals. They win it on a throwing error from
the pitcher.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That's the wild Marlins right there, the Miami Marlins. Can
you name no one? No, wait, I could name one
pitcher the guy that won the I was going Jazz Chisholm.
But he's hurt.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
That's a good name, it's a good name.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
But yeah, he's injured right now. But the Marlins they're
you know, they're having a great year. But there's still
eight games behind the Braves for the Nationallyague East League.
But as the wild card, the back door to the
playoffs of the Marlins. Right now, I think that the
number one wildcard team in the National League. They're up
by three and a half games.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
And we've got three wildcard teams this year.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Right yeah, as they did last year. Oh that was it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
They did that last year, not this year.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, thanks for watching the postseason well, elempirates fan. So
that's how the Phillies were the last team in last
year and they got to the World Series. Only you
do let America down by losing to the cheating a holes.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Would you like an NBA note? I don't think you
mentioned this earlier, but.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
If you mentioned just about every NBA story I could find.
I'm always open to another NBA note.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Well, did you mention the surgery for Gianistatkoupo.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I did not mention that.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
All right, he had surgery on his left knee. They
say it went great.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, and die in the operating rooms.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Well that's kind of that's how they spread these things. Anyway,
surgery went well.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You know what it went well is when he's back
on the court scoring fifty points.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
That's when they say he will be ready to go
for training camp.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So I want to bet that they're gonna give him
a little extra time and nurse him along to get
ready for the season.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I don't want to bet that, actually know why not,
because I'm sure they will.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yes, you know, I just want to want to give
them a little more time, a little more, a little
more time. That's what I would like. I thank you
for that, Eddie. It is the bean Maallors show as
we continue on, and I don't know that, Eddie, you
didn't mention Matisse Thibel signing an offer sheet. Did you
mention that?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
With the no, I sure didn't.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
You're not a big Matisse Thibel fan. He signed an
offer sheet with the Dallas Maverick.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I'm unfamiliar with his work.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
He's a He's supposedly a pretty good defensive player. Doc Rivers.
Doc Rivers like gave him shoulder massages when he played
in Philadelphia. Verbally, of course, but he phrased Bob. How
about the Mavericks. They traded for Graham Williams now trying
to get Mattis Thibel, and they signed the devil incarnate
Kyrie Irving. So quite the off season there from Mark Cuban,

say the guy who like is asking right, Well, you
can say the name.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Unless the name's an FCC violation.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Okay, cool, cool, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
EMMITTT Emittt is this Emmett the blind Seahawk fan.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Great guy.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Of course he loves you. He likes you more than me,
Emmett because he does not like the people that host
shows at Fox Sports Radio. Emmett likes the people that
sit in your chair.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, you know, can't blame him anyway, ask Ben. It's
just for everybody.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh, a group question is very exciting.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Favorite frozen food, Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Are we talking dessert? Are we talking just frozen food?
Frozen anything? So I do like a number of foods.
At Trader Joe's. They have those little mini tacos that
you can heat up in the air fryer. That's a
frozen food. I think that's pretty good. I'm trying to
think like as far as like frozen dessert, ice cream
(28:55):
sandwich with the chocolate chip cookie and the vanilla ice cream,
two chocolate chip cookies been ice cream in the middle.
But there's there's a lot of chicken get really good
chicken fingers, although they don't taste as good because they're frozen,
but you can get those in the air fire. Eddie.
Favorite frozen food? Are you a big fan of peas
or corn? Eddie?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Not really, no, no, not of the above. I got you.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
They're all right, I guess. But do you need a
lot of frozen food in not really? Uh, you know,
unless there's some kind of I don't know, appetizer type
finger food thing that you could throw into snack on
while you're watching the sporting events when you're at home.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Your motto in the kitchen there is fresh, never frozen.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, but maybe like the Are
you familiar with the pigs in a blanket?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yes? Yes, a staple of weddings bar Mitch.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's nice to, you know, heat
those up and have for a snack.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I had those pigs and blankets in a while. I
should get some of those.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Someone always brings them to the Charger pregame festivities there.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That invited to the free loading pre I told you
can them over. Okay, you know what, This year, I'll
go to a few Charger games and I'll get there
early and we'll hang out, all right, don't we'll have
to find helmet Man.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yes, we'll definitely have to be.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
He lives in the hood in Inglewood, right near that
stadium where the Rams and Chargers play, and he's completely
forgotten about us since he moved to Inglewood. But we'll
crack him down.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
All right. What about you Mark favorite frozen food?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
How about califlower rice and popsicles?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Thank you for calling Mark? Yes, cauliflower rice, correct? Bad take.
It's a bad job by you.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Thank you, Okay, do what you can?
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yes, Ethan, what do you got? Well?
Speaker 3 (30:42):
I want to thank Emmett for this because I'm actually
going to go and get these from Rouse after after
the show and sit down and foxing the watch Lincoln Lawyer.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Anyway, pizza bagels?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
All right?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Eddie's answer was better than that, though, I'd rather have
the pigs in the blank than that.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Oh, that's true. It's good.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
What's next here? It's ask Ben. Your questions are answers
for the rest of the are keep the questions coming

Speaker 5 (31:16):
Alrighty, my guy, eek, I guess.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Seek and rosevilleman, so you have medi He's a very
nice man.

I believe it.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
He's a very nice man. Yeah, he can't. This is
for you.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
He kept us out of it for Ben only. How
good your corn beef sandwich? In New York City? What
deli did you go to?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Better than Cats?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I did? I went to Kats's Delhi. I actually went
to a couple of delis in New York. And I
gotta tell you, though, I said this on the podcast
The Fifth Hour Podcast, that there's a deli in La
called Langers Deli. Here. It's only open till four o'clock
because it's in a really crappy neighborhood. You don't want
to be there after four o'clock. It's near MacArthur Park,
which is terrible, but that's that's a better deal. By
(31:58):
the Cats, I love the idea of Cats, and I've
had some good sandwiches. The sandwiches I got at Cats
this year or this time I went was not was
not that great. The mats of ball soup is pretty good.
But now there's a deli out here. Pretty You've got
a good deli there. Eke in Saint Paul, a friend
of the show, told me to go to and I
went over there. It was pretty good. What what is?
(32:19):
What is next year? One more here? Then we'll have
a pause for the cause. All right.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
We got milkman Mike.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh the milk from Colorado. He was at the Nuggets
parade there. He's a legend milkman.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Mind, yes, he guys for the crew. What is your
scariest Fourth of July memory?
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Scariest huh yeah, a little questionable, But you.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Know, when I was a kid there, we lived in
between two military bases and they neither one of them
is there anymore. The El Toro Marine Base and the
Tusta Marine Base, And there were these marines that would
come down the street we lived on and shoot off
fireworks and like toss them out of their cars as
(33:05):
they were driving down the street. I still remember as
a kid being freaked out by that he's a loser.
But as an adult, I've alway. I've usually worked on
the fourth is a lie, So I've not had too
many great or scary memories on the fourth lie because
I normally work.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
What about you, Eddie, I honestly I can't think of
anything scary.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
No, you never held a firecracker in your hand? Anything?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
No, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Actually I've seen people, you know, I've been near when
they've been lit, but I've never actually done it. I
guess I'm missing out on something. I mean, I'm sure
I had a sparklayer when I was a kid, but
that scary.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
We had the kids in mind. I was was m
eighties with the big thing. But they have those piccolos, right,
those are also very dangerous, right.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
No, they're not dangerous piccolos.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I don't think those are dangerous as you.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Like, if you light five of them together.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Well, I guess, yeah, sorry, no scary things for me Mark.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Growing up in Chicago, there any crazy things in the
Windy City.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Well, the scariest thing wasn't until I moved out here.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
I went to a Fourth of July celebration with friends
and all the fireworks started going off, and it were
blowing up, blowing up, and then we looked down and
our friend's dog had taken off and at all they
couldn't find the dog to the next day, so, well.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Oh, that's their Actually Bella ran away one year. That's
actually I was going to work. I was leaving the
Malor mansion and Bella ran out the door and I
had to chase after Bella. I just remember that's you
triggered my memory.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, but didn't you just stop chasing after Bella? And
then you called your wife and said, Bella's gone.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yes, I called my wife. I said, I got to
get to work. The dog's gone. And she because she
ran in this neighbor's yard. And I knew the guy
had guns, and I didn't want to go in his
yard because I didn't get shot. So I was like
I'm not going there, and and fortunately we got Bella
back and Ethan. Any fun with cherry bombs back in
the day or sparklers or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I would just say, back when I was two thousand
and three, when I was six, I was on a
golf course.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
You were six in two thousand and three.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yeah, the good days. I was on a golf course.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know where I was in two thousand and three.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Here, Yeah, I was gonna say here with me. I
knew Eddie, what happened Eddie.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
We used to be the young guys, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Those days are long gone, sir.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
Yeah, anyway, sorry to do that to you guys.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
So uh for me, Yeah, it was the on the
golf course and I like it was dark and I thought,
like Freddy and Jason, like I saw that movie and
I thought I was gonna get killed.
Speaker 5 (35:35):

To the crew we got from Femi. You know Femi.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
Oh yeah, I met Femi. Femi's a great guy. Femi
made these bumper stickers for the show, and he passed
them out at the Minnesota meet and greet, and then
he went above and beyond Femi. Actually he's the number
one uber each driver in Minnesota.
Speaker 5 (37:57):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
And he yeah, he dominates the guy and he listens
all night, he said, he listens. He works. The reason
he's number one is because he stays on to listen
to the show and he delivers more more food. But yeah,
Femmy's a good guy. And he made bumper stickers even
sent them to listeners who asked for them, So that's
kind of cool. Worry and I've done for the listeners.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, good for him anyway, for the crew. What do
you consider the greatest TV show of all time?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
Oh Man, greatest TV show of all time? This week
in Baseball. I'm dating myself, but I love that show
every week. My god, that was the greatest show I
mel Allen twib notes around the majors? What about you, Eddie?
Speaker 4 (38:40):
I had two favorite TV shows from the past. One
of them was Parks and rec I love that show show. Yeah,
and I actually and I'm not a political guy at all,
but I used to love The West Wing. I love
that show.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (38:54):
I didn't get into either of those shows. I liked
The Office Sopranos. Curb your enthusias as them. But this
weekend Baseball? What about you? Mark? Favorite TV show?
Speaker 6 (39:04):
There was one called Alias with Jennifer Garner.
Speaker 4 (39:06):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 6 (39:07):
Then there was Fringe? Was it another like sci fi
kind of.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Not Friends, Fringe, Fringe?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, what about the Twilight Zone?
Speaker 6 (39:15):
You never get in there on a little bit because
my sister watched it.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
Yeah, my dad loved the Twilight So what about you?
Speaker 5 (39:22):
I'd say Breaking Bad? A lot of people would have that,
or Sopranos either.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Or I've never seen an episode of Breaking Bad.
Speaker 5 (39:30):
You got to get on it.
Speaker 4 (39:31):
At this point, I think I'm probably not going to
do it.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
No, it's better. Now do you want to go to
New Mexico? Are you trying to? No?
Speaker 4 (39:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (39:39):
No, all right? What is next year? It's ask Ben?
Your questions are answered.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
Ferg dog Fergie, Yes, ask Ben, just for you, settle
the debate once and for all.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Grid or grill, Oh, griddle God, the answer is the griddle.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
God. We're going to double down in your The.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Griddle is the king. And we had our We've had
many people call up who work in restaurants. We had
our guy from Vegas who says they cook the most
expensive burger at this very high end steakhouse in Vegas
on a griddle. Yeah, griddle, you lose, Eddie, you get nothing.
(40:22):
We have time for one more quick question. What will
that be? Ethan art? Puffin art don't mess with Art Puffin.
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Ask Ben for the Crew street tacos or street dogs.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah. So, I don't like the street taco because it's
a soft taco I am. I like gringo tacos, which
are country. I've been told my Mexican brothers and sisters
have told me that's a gringo taco. But I like
them so and I can get a street dog, so
I'd go Street Dog Eddie.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Ye, I'll go street dog as well, Mark Street Dog,
Street Dog Ethan.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
You want to sweep the table, Sweep sweet sweet, sweep,

(00:22):
He is set to make his Summer League debut tomorrow
and that game has already sold out. What does it mean? Also,
how did you interpret Ja Moran's excitement for the Grizzlies
pickup of Derek Rose? And why is Las Vegas hosting
the NBA's in season tournament which is starting this next year.
(00:44):
We'll talk about all that and more right now here
it is our number three is happy days or here
again enjoy? Call him the Wemby wacka doodles. I guess
what else are you gonna call him? Welcome? In the

Your questions are answers. You can say of those questions
in on the Twitter machine at just hashtag ask Ben.
Very simple, should be interesting. Ethan will be the reader
of the questions. We'll see how that goes. But hashtag
(02:12):
ask Ben send those in and knock yourself out. But
are lead this hour coming from Lost Wages, Nevada, and
that is where the Summer League is going on. I
know you're excited about that. The NBA dropping some news
about the big event happening in the month of July.
It's gonna happen actually on Friday. That would be tomorrow,
(02:35):
seven to seven. It's kind of cool day seven to seven.
If you haven't heard yet, maybe not. In what has
been dubbed the most anticipated NBA Summer League game in
a generation. Wink wink, nod, nod, the game of the year.
The San Antonio Spurs with their number one pick, Victor
(02:56):
wemban Yama, set to make his first appearance in San
Antonio laundry, although it'll be in Vegas against the Charlotte Hornets.
Every single ticket everyone will have a man, woman or
child in those seats as they have sold all of them.
(03:18):
For the matchup at the Thomas and Mack Center in Vegas,
it will be packed to the gills, the home of
the Run and Revels. So let us discuss the question
Victor Wembanyama, the spurs number one pick summer League debut
sells out. What does that mean? So I've got Jacuzzi,
(03:38):
Bob Ross and carrots and we will combine all of
these things together and will lock them in place like legos.
Is what we're going to do. So, first of all,
my initial thought on this, it means Victor wen Manyama's
first game selling out. It means the Razmataz has been
(03:59):
seen successful. This is a feather in the cap of
the NBA marketing arm. For a couple of years now,
there have been people associated with the NBA that have
been pumping up the tires on Wemby, the Wemby Mobile,
and they've been puffing the Parisian prodigy. And now he's arrived.
(04:22):
He hadn't played a regular season game yet. But it
doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether he's great or whether
he sucks or is just average. The question is can
you convince the congregation of basketball fans to follow? And
when you look at the KPI on this, the answer
is a thunderous y e s yes. The key performance
(04:47):
indicators show that the great unwashed are bathing in a
jacuzzi of Victor Wembanyama hype right now. They're in the
jacuzzie and that they're bubbles and they're enjoying the bubbles
there Wemby Bubbles. Now, I understand a little bit about
(05:07):
marketing and sales, and we basically in the sales business.
When you do a radio show, and the most important
part are the commercials. My part is very unimportant. That's
why I've kept the job because management knows they don't
really care. It's all about the commercials. But humans are hardwired,
like Pavlov's dogs, to look for the next big thing
(05:30):
in whatever that might be, well, you want the faster car,
you want, the better car you want, the better computer
you want, the better phone you want. When you're dating,
you want the better other significant other. Right until you
lock one down, it's only going to empower the marketing.
Weasels at pro Bouncy Ball. This guy's been building as
the next big thing. Hoop fans have been bombarded from
(05:54):
all sides. Sensory overload, I'm talking touch site, hearing, smell,
and taste have been All of those things have been
submerged with marketing, and now here's the return on investment.
That's not really a summer league game. That matters. It's
regular season ticket sales. It's also merchandise, Its television ratings,
(06:15):
its advertiser engagement. All of those things are what matters,
and things are certainly promising at this point. All right,
moving away from that on page two year, I want
to go to Memphis, where everyone's favorite gun toting NBA
player John Morant, who is currently on exile, is exhilarated
to have Derek Rose in Memphis with him next season. Now,
(06:39):
first he has to serve the twenty five game suspension
of the Who's Gal for playing with guns on social media,
and ironically, it was a social media post by veteran
guard Isaiah Thomas, not the Pistons, Isaiah Thomas, the Celtics
version of Isaiah Thomas, and that posting proclaimed that Jah
(07:00):
Morant would be backing better than ever next season. And
it was posted by Isaiah Thomas, the old Celtic who
had that great year back in several years ago. Now,
but he was pumping up John Morant and he said
that d Rose Present is gonna have him on some
MVP and then he said the S words, so we'll
(07:21):
say crap and then he said watch now. That posting
caught the attention of Jahn Morant, who chimed in himself,
of course, and he quote tweeted Thomas the original comment
and said, quote, I'm gonna read this word for word,
so don't goof on me. Here's what he wrote. This
is Jahn Morant. He said, you two loud og they
(07:43):
gunna actually said they gunn, but gon they gunn feel me.
Fascioh yeah, that's what he said. Fa sho. Yeah, So
that's what he wrote. I'm just repeating. I'm I'm the messenger.
So how did can you interpret the ja Morant excitement
to play with Derek Rose, and you're gonna feel Jamran.
(08:09):
So this tells us that nothing has changed yet, that
Jamaran is still lurking in the gutter that is social media,
in the shadows, that he has not taken some kind
of hiatus. I know he's addicted. I get it. I
understand that's that's the public square. But this also means
sooner than later, he's inevitly gonna screw up again. He's
(08:33):
gonna post a video. One of his buddies is gonna
post a video of him looking like Rambo. I'm talking
bullets around the neck. I'm talking a gun on the shoulder,
one gun in the right hand, another gun in the
left hand. And Adam Silver is going to have a
coronary when he sees that particular posting, and it will
(08:55):
not be relatable to polite NBA society where that is
ta boo. So nobody has ever questioned that Ja Morant
as a basketball player is amazing. What a great talent.
It's kind of like painting, you know how. You have
some painters that are into portraits, or some are into
landscape or still life or abstract or whatever it might be.
(09:19):
Ja Morant. On the court, he's a landscape artist. He's
like Bob Ross on the hardwood. Every single performance, for
the most part, is a masterpiece. Off the court. That's
where he is no longer a landscape artist. He would
be compared to your child in kindergarten finger painting. A
(09:41):
lot of not so happy little mistakes. That's the rub. Now.
As for d Rose, I don't get the excitement. This
is one of those things when the legend becomes the fact,
you go with the legend. The legend of Derrick Rose
as an MVP for the Chicago Bulls has lived on.
He got a shelf life. Derek Rose as an NBA
(10:03):
player these days, is a shell of his former self.
For example, he was in the doghouse with the Knickerbockers
last year, played twelve minutes a game on average, and
he didn't play that many games last year last couple
of years. Rose is going to be thirty five next season.
It's been seven years, seven years since he played thirty
(10:23):
or more minutes a game. He's a part time player
and at this point he's about a fifteen minute a
game guy, and he gets hurt a lot. I'd say
the smart money is that Derek Rose ends up injured
prior to John Moran coming back. All right, final thought.
So the NBA also leaked that, and we talked about earlier.
(10:44):
If you were listening, the NBA leak that this new
Fugazi in season Tournament Final four will take place December
seventh and ninth in Lost Wages, Nevada in Vegas, Sin City,
and we are told that the statistics accumulated during every
game in the tournament will count towards the regular season
(11:05):
except for the championship game. Now that is interesting to
note that the NBA has an equally for gayse play
in tournament where those stats don't count for the regular
season and don't count for the postseason. They just kind
of float in the twilight zone. So why is Las
Vegas hosting the NBA's in season tournament. Well, this is
(11:28):
rather obvious. I don't think you need me to tell you.
It is telegraphed. It. It's like carrots. It's an extra
motivator to carrot on a stick. It is incentive to
motivate the players. Adam Silver knows that these guys don't
give a rats took us about regular season games. He's
more aware than anyone because he supported them and their mouthfeasons.
(11:52):
So why would they worry about a play in tournament.
Their answer is they won't. However, the lure of an
extra trip to Sin City that your employer is going
to pay, sign me up for that. Now, over the weekend,
we are told the NBA will also release specific details
(12:14):
about the in season tournament, the full list of dates,
the group drawings, the locations, the trophy unveiling all of that.
They're doing this on a Saturday. Now, why are they
doing that on a Saturday. They're doing it on a
Saturday because they know that very few people care about this.
It's called the soft launch. It's like opening up a
(12:35):
restaurant saying you're gonna open up the restaurant on Friday,
but you actually open it up on Tuesday, and you
open it up at like two o'clock in the afternoon,
past the lunch hour rush, just so everyone gets on
the same page. It's a soft launch. Well, this not
a soft launch. It's been around for a while. The
Ben Malor Show. If you would like to be part
(12:58):
of the program, you can join us here. We are Well,
we're talking to talk radio. I Talk and then you
call in if you want to talk, you can talk
as well eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox if
you want to be part. Also on Twitter, we are
on there. You can be part of that. At Ben Maler.
We're now on something called Threads. I don't really know
(13:18):
what that is, but I'm on there, so you can
follow me on Threads. And that's Ben Mahllor on Fox,
which is my same name that I have on Instagram.
And the great thing about Threads, I already like it,
even though there's nobody on there. It's like a ghost town.
I kind of like it because I didn't have to
pay eight bucks a month to be verified. I'm already verified.
(13:40):
So I would like to thank the people over there
for doing that, because Elon Musk wants me to pay
eight dollars a month and his product is not worth
eight dollars a month now. Neither is Threads, by the way,
But I didn't have to pay anything, so I'm okay
with that. Anyway. We'll press on time now for the
Mallord Riddle of the Day. The of the day, we
(14:01):
go back to the All England Club at Wimbledon. At Wimbledon,
a match was halted earlier this week after two protesters
stormed the court and began throwing blank again. A Wimbledon
match was stopped earlier this week after a couple of
protesters stormed the court and began throwing blank. That is
(14:24):
the Malor riddle of the day. The answer, We'll get
to it. We'll do it next. Be sure to catch
live editions of The Ben Mallor Show weekdays at two
am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
You could be a one percenter study show the more
than two hundred and forty four million American adults listen
to the radio each month, but only one percent actually
contribute content. You can join that small fraternity at p
ones on the Ben Maler Show. It is painless and simple.
Just follow your host on Twitter. He's at Ben Mallor
and you could tweet at and follow our technical producer.
(15:02):
But he's not on Twitter or any other social media
that we know of, including that thing that Ben has
switched over to.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Time switched over. I'm still on Twitter. I just happened
to have added to my arsenal.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Maybe Mark will be on threads, but anyway, it's Mark.
He's in here. Playing the music and making sure things
run smoothly. And now live from the Tirack dot Com
Fox Sports Radio Studios, it's Ben Malor.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Marcus told me he will not be going on threads,
but he will be buying some new threads. But he
will not be going on threads, he told me. Unless
I made that up. David in Pennsylvania Ice. He says,
you're entering right back into the demonic nut jobs who
don't believe in freedom of speech. Ben, he's my threads
unless it's coming from them because they lost Twitter. Beware
Ben of threads. Okay, listen, Twitter is not exactly the
(15:54):
Old West there, and my guy Tony Bruno got banned
from Twitter with Emon Musk the big boss over there,
so they're still Bannon people. I don't know what he did,
but must have been wonderful, but who knows. Anyway. Time
to pay off now. The Mallor Riddle of the day,
The Mallard Riddle of the day, and here it is.
At Wimbledon. A match was halted earlier this week after
(16:17):
two protesters stormed the court and began throwing blank Phil
in the blank Kyle got it right, but he obviously
cheated it's a bad job by him. Rod the Ambassador
of Bakersfield says, woke Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Yes,
that's exactly what they did right there. Who else we have?
(16:40):
Ferg Dog says leftover moldy hot dogs. Now I want
to stop oil too, He said, what else do we have?
Courtesy Flusher going with presidential cocaine that they threw out
in the court. Well, that would be a waste of that.
What do we have here? Gang signs guessed by Art
Puffin that's his answer. What else do we have? Page down?
(17:03):
Page down? Maverick says that he's decided to pass on
the riddle of the day, so he'll go with long
Live Alexa Bliss as his answer. Miguel on Fire says
they threw dirty underwear on the core. Well, that would
be something that would be that would be impressive. Matt
the Warrior Raider as fan says, they began throwing bottles
of delicious ranch dressing, well as not delicious and b
(17:26):
that would be a good protest because you'd be wasting
the ranch dressing and I think it would actually kill
the grass. The ranch dressing milkman Mike and Colorado says,
they threw a temper tantrum. Mayor Parker the snow Dog
from Denver's going with throwing Nathan's hot dogs as the answer,
Andrews says, just some good old fashioned feces was being thrown.
(17:49):
Donkey Sausage checks in with pickles. Yeah, you did that
to get a reaction out of Alf the Alien pickle,
That's what you did. Yeah, let's see, go Blue says
what they throw on the field that bills games a
word we've been told not to say. On Fox Sports Radio.
Eke in Rosevio, Minnesota going with Rocky Mountain Oysters. Alf
(18:11):
the Alien Opiner says, tea and crumpets. That's what all right?
Do you have an answer?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Eddi?

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Yes, in honor of the fourth of July, they were
throwing the fireworks.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Yes, well they have the fourth of July in England, Eddie,
But it's not quite a good day because they came
out on the wrong side of that. But the correct answer,
Eddie would be confetti. They man and a woman, a
couple of losers that are part of that cult. They
ran out there and they wore t shirts that set
that read just stop oil because that's a reasonable thing.
And I just have socieal world that's set up for oil.
(18:57):
Just stop it. Because a couple of losers ran out
of the all club. That makes sense on court eighteen,
Sure why not? And then they emptied boxes of orange
paper and jigsaw puzzle pieces while while everyone looked on
with bewilderment, They're like, what are those losers doing here?
We just want to watch some tennis. We want to
watch some people in all white play tennis. That's what
we would like to do. Let's go to the phones
(19:18):
and we'll take some calls here eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. If you want to be part eight
seven seven nine nine six six three six y nine,
if you want to be part of the program, and
we might be able to get change before we have
ask Ben your questions and our answers, and we have
an injury update. Injury update from Baseball. Nothing better than
(19:42):
a Baseball injury update out at Anaheim, where the Angels
are optimistic Angels in the outfield when it comes to show,
Hey Otani. You might remember on the fourth of July,
the Angel celebrated by having their entire team turn into
a firecracker and burn out up. Anthony Rendont left shin
(20:02):
brus he was on crutches. Mike Trout had surgery the
day after the July fourth holiday. He's out two months.
And what about Shoe Hee, Otani, you left to start
the Japanese phenom middle finger blister, so he gives you
the bird and Otani he's going to miss the All
Star Game because of a cracked nail. But the plan
(20:25):
is for him to start against the cheaters from Houston
right after the All Star Game. That's the plan. He'll
have ten days off and they can stretch it a
little further if they want, but his first start after
the break would be July fourteenth, and the plan is,
(20:45):
according to Phil Nevin, the Angels manager, that Otani will
be back on the mount, which is important because if
Otani can find a way to win the MVP and
the cy Young unlikely, but all the hype for this guy.
How much would he get? What are we looking at?
(21:07):
There is a limit? Does he get six hundred million dollars?
Is it five hundred million dollars? Is it more than that?
There's only so much you can pay. But he's a
picture and a hitter, right, that's the that's the whole,
the whole gimmick. There, that's the whole thing. So there
you go. All right, it is the Ben Malord Show.
(21:28):
We're going to have an extended extended Ask Ben, which
will be your questions and our answers. If you want
to send those in, keep sending them in right now.
Hashtag ask Ben on Twitter. That's the hashtag ask Ben
on Twitter. And we will get through a ton, well
maybe not an actual ton, a metaphoric ton. How many
(21:51):
questions would we have to get through for a ton?
That would be a whole lot, and I don't think
we time will not allow us to do that, but
you get the point. Get to the point, please anyway,
So we'll go we'll go there and have an extended
asspend But right now, let's get you caught up on
everything going on in the oh over night. And they're
(22:14):
right over there, we say hello to steamboat Willie better
known as Eddie Garci.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
All right, thanks Ben. Of course, we start with baseball
games of noteworthy. Braves had their nine game winning street
come to an end the night before, but they bounce
back with an eight to one win over the Guardians
in Cleveland. Atlanta now in Major League best fifty eight
and twenty eight on the season. Twins wrap up a
sweep of the Royals with a five to nothing shutout.
Find starting pitcher Pablo Lopez complete game, four hit shutout,
struck out twelve in the win, and right now it's
(22:43):
Minnesota a two game lead on Cleveland for first in
the AL Central. The Mets score two and the ninth
pull out a two to one win in Arizona over
the Doaminbacks, meaning while the Dodgers beat the Pirate six ' four,
so Arizona's lead on La down to a game and
a half. In the NL West, the Reds beat the
Nationals nine to two, while the Brewers lose to the
Cup four to three. Chicago with three in the ninth
to rally for the wins. So Cincinnati now with a
(23:03):
two game lead on Milwaukee atop the NL Central. Rangers
lose to the Red Sox four to two. Was the
Astros wrapping up a three game sleep with the Rockies
with a six to four win. Yannard Diez with two
homers for Houston as their two back of Texas in
the AL West Race. Ray's top team in the American League,
lost their fifth in a row. They followed the Phillies
eight to four. That's eleven straight road wins for Philadelphia.
(23:24):
Their starting pitcher Taiwan Walker earns his tenth win of
the year. Potterys get their first three game series sweep
of the season with the five through hit over the Angels.
As you mentioned the injury issues for the Angels, Mike
Trout did have surgery for his injured wrist, and he'll
be out four to eight weeks.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
When they say four to eighty eight weeks, Sadie, it's
eight weeks. He ain't coming back in four weeks. Eight weeks,
all right, Doctor Maller reported eight weeks from Michael baseball
injury recovery. If it's football, you take the under. In baseball,
you take the over.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
Oils beat the Yankee six y three. You had the
Marlins walking off with a ten to nine win of
the Cardinals. They win it on a throwing error from
the pitcher.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
That's the wild Marlins right there, the Miami Marlins. Can
you name no one? No, wait, I could name one
pitcher the guy that won the I was going Jazz Chisholm.
But he's hurt.
Speaker 4 (24:16):
That's a good name, it's a good name.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
But yeah, he's injured right now. But the Marlins they're
you know, they're having a great year. But there's still
eight games behind the Braves for the Nationallyague East League.
But as the wild card, the back door to the
playoffs of the Marlins. Right now, I think that the
number one wildcard team in the National League. They're up
by three and a half games.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
And we've got three wildcard teams this year.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Right yeah, as they did last year. Oh that was it.
Speaker 4 (24:43):
They did that last year, not this year.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Yes, thanks for watching the postseason well, elempirates fan. So
that's how the Phillies were the last team in last
year and they got to the World Series. Only you
do let America down by losing to the cheating a holes.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Would you like an NBA note? I don't think you
mentioned this earlier, but.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
If you mentioned just about every NBA story I could find.
I'm always open to another NBA note.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Well, did you mention the surgery for Gianistatkoupo.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I did not mention that.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
All right, he had surgery on his left knee. They
say it went great.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, and die in the operating rooms.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Well that's kind of that's how they spread these things. Anyway,
surgery went well.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You know what it went well is when he's back
on the court scoring fifty points.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
That's when they say he will be ready to go
for training camp.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
So I want to bet that they're gonna give him
a little extra time and nurse him along to get
ready for the season.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I don't want to bet that, actually know why not,
because I'm sure they will.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yes, you know, I just want to want to give
them a little more time, a little more, a little
more time. That's what I would like. I thank you
for that, Eddie. It is the bean Maallors show as
we continue on, and I don't know that, Eddie, you
didn't mention Matisse Thibel signing an offer sheet. Did you
mention that?
Speaker 4 (25:54):
With the no, I sure didn't.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
You're not a big Matisse Thibel fan. He signed an
offer sheet with the Dallas Maverick.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
I'm unfamiliar with his work.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
He's a He's supposedly a pretty good defensive player. Doc Rivers.
Doc Rivers like gave him shoulder massages when he played
in Philadelphia. Verbally, of course, but he phrased Bob. How
about the Mavericks. They traded for Graham Williams now trying
to get Mattis Thibel, and they signed the devil incarnate
Kyrie Irving. So quite the off season there from Mark Cuban,
(26:25):

drunk by the time this is over. But Eddie loves it,
(27:28):
so we'll do an extended version. We haven't done an
extended version, not this long, in some time. So we
passed the mic over to Ethan. A very dangerous thing,
and he will have the ridonculous reading of the questions.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
All right, very exciting here, that is a dangerous thing.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
But I'll hold your emotion, Ethan.

Okay, cool, cool, okay.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
EMMITTT Emittt is this Emmett the blind Seahawk fan.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Great guy.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Of course he loves you. He likes you more than me,
Emmett because he does not like the people that host
shows at Fox Sports Radio. Emmett likes the people that
sit in your chair.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, you know, can't blame him anyway, ask Ben. It's
just for everybody.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Oh, a group question is very exciting.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Favorite frozen food, Ben.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
Are we talking dessert? Are we talking just frozen food?
Frozen anything? So I do like a number of foods.
At Trader Joe's. They have those little mini tacos that
you can heat up in the air fryer. That's a
frozen food. I think that's pretty good. I'm trying to
think like as far as like frozen dessert, ice cream
(28:55):
sandwich with the chocolate chip cookie and the vanilla ice cream,
two chocolate chip cookies been ice cream in the middle.
But there's there's a lot of chicken get really good
chicken fingers, although they don't taste as good because they're frozen,
but you can get those in the air fire. Eddie.
Favorite frozen food? Are you a big fan of peas
or corn? Eddie?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Not really, no, no, not of the above. I got you.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
They're all right, I guess. But do you need a
lot of frozen food in not really? Uh, you know,
unless there's some kind of I don't know, appetizer type
finger food thing that you could throw into snack on
while you're watching the sporting events when you're at home.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Your motto in the kitchen there is fresh, never frozen.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, but maybe like the Are
you familiar with the pigs in a blanket?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yes? Yes, a staple of weddings bar Mitch.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's nice to, you know, heat
those up and have for a snack.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I had those pigs and blankets in a while. I
should get some of those.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Someone always brings them to the Charger pregame festivities there.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
That invited to the free loading pre I told you

go to a few Charger games and I'll get there

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Yes, we'll definitely have to be.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
He lives in the hood in Inglewood, right near that
stadium where the Rams and Chargers play, and he's completely
forgotten about us since he moved to Inglewood. But we'll
crack him down.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (30:19):

the show and sit down and foxing the watch Lincoln Lawyer.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Anyway, pizza bagels?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
All right?
Speaker 5 (30:57):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Eddie's answer was better than that, though, I'd rather have
the pigs in the blank than that.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Oh, that's true. It's good.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
What's next here? It's ask Ben. Your questions are answers

Speaker 3 (31:27):
He kept us out of it for Ben only. How
good your corn beef sandwich? In New York City? What
deli did you go to?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Better than Cats?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
I did? I went to Kats's Delhi. I actually went
to a couple of delis in New York. And I
gotta tell you, though, I said this on the podcast
The Fifth Hour Podcast, that there's a deli in La
called Langers Deli. Here. It's only open till four o'clock
because it's in a really crappy neighborhood. You don't want
to be there after four o'clock. It's near MacArthur Park,
which is terrible, but that's that's a better deal. By
(31:58):
the Cats, I love the idea of Cats, and I've
had some good sandwiches. The sandwiches I got at Cats
this year or this time I went was not was
not that great. The mats of ball soup is pretty good.
But now there's a deli out here. Pretty You've got
a good deli there. Eke in Saint Paul, a friend
of the show, told me to go to and I
went over there. It was pretty good. What what is?
(32:19):
What is next year? One more here? Then we'll have
a pause for the cause. All right.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
We got milkman Mike.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Oh the milk from Colorado. He was at the Nuggets
parade there. He's a legend milkman.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Mind, yes, he guys for the crew. What is your
scariest Fourth of July memory?
Speaker 5 (32:41):
Scariest huh yeah, a little questionable, But you.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Know, when I was a kid there, we lived in
between two military bases and they neither one of them
is there anymore. The El Toro Marine Base and the
Tusta Marine Base, And there were these marines that would
come down the street we lived on and shoot off
fireworks and like toss them out of their cars as
(33:05):
they were driving down the street. I still remember as
a kid being freaked out by that he's a loser.
But as an adult, I've alway. I've usually worked on
the fourth is a lie, So I've not had too
many great or scary memories on the fourth lie because
I normally work.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
What about you, Eddie, I honestly I can't think of
anything scary.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
No, you never held a firecracker in your hand? Anything?
Speaker 5 (33:26):
No, No, not at all.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
Actually I've seen people, you know, I've been near when
they've been lit, but I've never actually done it. I
guess I'm missing out on something. I mean, I'm sure
I had a sparklayer when I was a kid, but
that scary.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
We had the kids in mind. I was was m
eighties with the big thing. But they have those piccolos, right,
those are also very dangerous, right.
Speaker 4 (33:45):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
No, they're not dangerous piccolos.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I don't think those are dangerous as you.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Like, if you light five of them together.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
Well, I guess, yeah, sorry, no scary things for me Mark.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Growing up in Chicago, there any crazy things in the
Windy City.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Well, the scariest thing wasn't until I moved out here.
Speaker 7 (34:03):
I went to a Fourth of July celebration with friends
and all the fireworks started going off, and it were
blowing up, blowing up, and then we looked down and
our friend's dog had taken off and at all they
couldn't find the dog to the next day, so, well.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Oh, that's their Actually Bella ran away one year. That's
actually I was going to work. I was leaving the
Malor mansion and Bella ran out the door and I
had to chase after Bella. I just remember that's you
triggered my memory.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Yeah, but didn't you just stop chasing after Bella? And
then you called your wife and said, Bella's gone.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yes, I called my wife. I said, I got to
get to work. The dog's gone. And she because she
ran in this neighbor's yard. And I knew the guy
had guns, and I didn't want to go in his
yard because I didn't get shot. So I was like
I'm not going there, and and fortunately we got Bella
back and Ethan. Any fun with cherry bombs back in
the day or sparklers or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
I would just say, back when I was two thousand
and three, when I was six, I was on a
golf course.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
You were six in two thousand and three.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Yeah, the good days. I was on a golf course.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
You know where I was in two thousand and three.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
Here, Yeah, I was gonna say here with me. I
knew Eddie, what happened Eddie.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
We used to be the young guys, Eddie.
Speaker 4 (35:19):
Those days are long gone, sir.
Speaker 5 (35:20):
Yeah, anyway, sorry to do that to you guys.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
So uh for me, Yeah, it was the on the
golf course and I like it was dark and I thought,
like Freddy and Jason, like I saw that movie and
I thought I was gonna get killed.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
