Speaker 1 (00:00):
Boom shaka Laca. It's our number three, and we thank
you for being a loyal p one, even though you
don't work the overnight shift and you probably worked the
dreaded day shift. Here in our number three, we send
this out to Spaccoli. Jeff t that's a basketball player.
Jeff t claimed Lebron James was a steroid guy. He
(00:21):
then tried to unring the bell, saying he was just kidding.
How do you process this one now? Lebron defenders have
pointed out that Jeff Tigue's timeline doesn't check out. Does
that change things for you? And in baseball, manager Aaron
Boone thinks the Yankee defense is fine. He defended it
after another clunker in Toronto. How big a concern is
this in the Bronx. We'll get to that as well.
(00:44):
Right now here, it is our number three. You said
what you can't You said no, you said that you
can't take it back. There's no takebacks. Welc in not
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. As
we are in the air aywhere in combination, as we
(01:09):
are late night, loud and proud, Coast to coast, port
of the Border and beyond on the mast and resoundingly
powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the blood as
we smell blood in the water from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by og Art, Puffin and ostrich Ant.
(01:33):
Now I'm old enough to remember when ostrich Ant would
send artwork to the show. He's too busy now, he didn't.
You have time to make art anymore, and he probably
wants us to pay for it. We're not doing that.
We're not doing that. This portion of the Ben Mallory
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, ti Raq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
(01:55):
Ship fast and free. That's right, free for dog and
mister night Guy back by free road hazard protection. I
see alf nodding over there with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, higher rack dot Com, the way tire
buying showy. So harleie. This hour is from the big
(02:18):
Mouth Department. As someone that has a big mouth, I
respect other big mouths. I bring up former generic NBA
basketball player Jeff Tague. Probably don't know who that is
unless you're a basketball hard oh, he's not a memorable player,
but he did say something memorable. Jeff t went on
(02:39):
a podcast discussion that went apparently off the rails. Off
the rails there recently wild ped accusation lobbed at Lebron James.
Did you hear about this? Perhaps not. Many people would
(03:00):
like you not to know about this. So in the
latest edition of The Fledgling something called the Club five
to twenty podcasts. I have no idea what that is.
I don't know anyone's ever heard that podcast. But anyway,
Jeff Teague was asked to choose the best version of
Labron and he he said the Miami Heat Bron without hesitation.
(03:22):
But they were a bunch of people talking, were going
back and forth, and then he brought off the reason
for Lebron as a Miami Heat player. This is again
a guy played in the league. Was a player who
went against Lebron James. Let let's go to the audio tape.
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He was on steroids, bro, He had to sit out.
He was on steroids for real, was on steroids, Bro.
I'm allegedly, but like, he had to sit out. But
you all remember when they told him, like they plus
four was like he got everybody. They started chasing testing
for AGH and they was like yo, and he had
(04:00):
to sit out, like he said, his back was her
and he set out for like three weeks and he
came back skinny. This was just I was in the league,
I remember, and he came back and he was he
was crazy though it might have been the best bron
bro all right, Bro.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I liked that he mixed the allegedly in like that'll
get him out of jail. All right. So the money
quote as you heard there, they started testing for HGH
and he had to sit out his back. They said
his back was hurting, and he sat out for three
weeks and came back skinny. Now, shortly after those comments
went viral. I mean, I had buddies of mine all
over the place, my radio friends. Did you see what
(04:35):
Jeff Tiek said? I said, who the hell is Jeff Tig?
Don't you see what he said? Oh my god, you're
gonna start your show with this? Well, obviously I didn't
start the show with this because Jeff Tigue after this
went viral, he tried to we went on Instagram, he
tried to clarify. He claimed he was just joking. Just joking.
So let us discuss the question Jeff Tigue claiming that
(04:56):
Lebron was a steroid guy, and then he tried to
unring the bell. Tried to unring the bell. How do
you process this one? So I've got ray bands, Antarctica,
and health insurance, and we'll connect all of this together
and we'll say hello to Blind Scott, who's been on
(05:19):
hold the entire show. All right now, first of all,
keeping track of this story because I have no life.
This is what I do as I look for things
that I might want to talk about on the show
during the day. So I got whiplash on this one.
In a literally a nano second. Do you know how
short a nanosecond is? In a nanosecond, Jeff Tge went
(05:40):
from full Kamakazi on King James to backpedaling like Prime
Dion Sanders back in the day, Right, just like that,
Tigue Another's little cute Little Jock podcast where the guys
sit around talk about the glory days and all that,
and he drops this just very casual in conversation comment
(06:00):
about Lebron James being on steroids with the Miami Heat,
just a throwaway line like he's ordering some takeout food
on door dash and and then he pulls out the
classic psych in your face. I was just playing man.
Of course. I happened to have a PhD. I bought
it online. I have a PhD in the ancient art
(06:22):
of sarcasm. I like to dabble in the art of sarcasm.
And this is not that right. We believe that Jeff
t did the thing you can't do at the time.
You can't do it, he said the quiet part out loud.
Now would love to have been a fly in the wall.
When the phone started ringing, ring ring. Hey, hey, Jeff,
(06:46):
it's it's your your agent here. Yeah, it was going on.
Yeah so you did a podcast, Yeah I did. I
did it the other day. Yeah. So apparently he said
Lebron is Lebron's doing so? Yeah, yeah, I said that.
Who cares. Well, there's maybe some dudes in dark suits
that would like to talk to you, you know. Click and
then the guys in ray bands in the SUVs that
(07:07):
the black SUVs pull up to the door. They give
Jeff Tigue in my head a friendly reminder. They say, hey, hey, Jeff,
you know we've got the ray bands, We've got the
suits on that movie Men in Black that was actually
not that was not drama, that was real. Uh you
know the old fiction nonfiction that was that was nonfiction.
And Lebron is a Listen, Lebron's a multi billion dollar
(07:29):
global asset. Nobody knows who you are. Zip it l zippo,
all right now. Secondly, so the Lebron defenders pointing out
that there are some flaws in Jeff Tigue's timeline that
it doesn't check out, So does that change things? So
for me, it's not in any measurable way, it's not
(07:51):
with the story. Listen, And it is true Tigue's memory
was apparently off. The NBA did not start testing for
HGH until Lebron was back in Cleveland. But it doesn't
change the overall narrative, like this is not new. The
whispers about Lebron having magic beans wink wink or special
(08:15):
recovery juice, what's in the juice that's not pineapple juice?
The wolverine level healing powers of Lebron, they've been out
there for a long time, years ago. I was fortunate
enough when I was doing my website, I befriended some
big time gossip writers that for some reason became friends
of mine and not good friends, you know, fake friends,
(08:37):
work friends. And I went to a ret I actually
had power luncheon with a very powerful writer. This is
past so far ago, I can tell the story now.
So we went. He wanted to meet me for lunch,
so we had like a power lunch, and he was
telling me about his his time as a investigative reporter
and whatnot. And he had said, and this is a
(09:00):
long early in Lebron's career, said that there had been
a story that he had been following and he didn't
have enough to go with it. But he because at
that time, you actually had journalistic standards, which you don't
have anymore. But he said that at that time there
were two people that they were pretty sure were doing steroids,
but they didn't have the smoking gun. And one of
(09:21):
them was Lebron. The other was Tiger Woods, and this
guy was committed. Now this is we got we almost
got it. We're not quite there yet. So this this
is like I'm going back probably seventeen eighteen years ago.
I had a long time. I had a long time ago,
and so it's been out there. However, God forbid anyone
(09:43):
in the mainstream or not mainstream media. I'm on in
the middle of the night. God knows ninety nine percent
of people are sleeping right now. The mainstream media does
not go there. You bring up peds and Lebron in
the same sentence, and you were on the knotty list.
Can't you know what? Cannot do it. There was some
guy and the w or the UFC wrap the UFC
(10:04):
that a couple of years ago named Lebron said he
knew the guy Lebron was getting the drugs from and
that story was Barry Like, if you do that, you
are not allowed to be part of the cool club's
you know, the cool kids club. You're you're on like
a watch list. And to bring up Lebron in the
mainstream and steroids, it is a kin to talking about
(10:26):
Area fifty one or the moon landing, or why no
one's allowed to explore Antarctica right because there's a apparently
that's where the UFOs are and all that the great
conspiracies like these things are talked about on over on
coast to coast with our friend George Nori. Those things are,
but in sports radio there's certain things that are not allowed,
like Lebron during the day it doesn't really come out
very much at all during the day, Right. It's one
(10:47):
of those things you get close to the truth and
suddenly the hard drive that you have gets wiped out,
your WiFi stops working, and like, like Jeff t he
didn't make a I think he made a mistake. Like
you're not supposed to say that you messed with Lebron.
You're not supposed to say that publicly. And Lebron's one
of these guys, he's too big to failt Now my argument,
(11:09):
and this is my counter argument to what Jeff Teek said.
I truly believe Lebron is one of those athletes. If
he got caught red handed, if Lebron was videoed injecting
testosterone into his Badonka donk while bathing in deer antler
spray and rubbing the clear in the cream he got
(11:30):
from Barry Bonds that special lotion on his elbows, the NBA,
I would say, listen, this is league approved. It's a
new therapy, it's a exploratory therapy, and it's actually sponsored
by Gatorade and Disney Plus it's all good, it's all kosher.
Like that's the same league that has spent over a decade. Well,
(11:51):
I guess it's over now. They spent over a decade
pretending that load management was not destroying the product. It's
the same league years ago. The famous story about Michael
Jordan who got involved in some gambling and then all
of a sudden decided to retire in the prime of
his career to go play baseball in Birmingham, Alabama and
ride buses until the suspension was over. Wink wink, nod
(12:14):
nod by David Stern, and then came back to the NBA.
So there's certain people that are just too big. It's
not gonna Maybe when Lebron's done washed up at the
end meeting he's not playing anymore, stuff like that will
come out. I've heard it for almost twenty years. Like
I don't have any prove I just keep hearing it.
You keep hearing something, you tend to think there's something there,
(12:36):
there's a there there all right now, final fuck to
baseball we go, and you look around baseball. We are
in the dog days, arf, We are in the dog
days of baseball. Here. The dog that was not Willis,
by the way, that was a different dog. That was
Moxieff herf that was a moxie barking. So in baseball,
the Tigers sock. They got swept by the Pirates. The
(12:58):
Dodgers blow, they lost eleven of the last fifteen games.
They think nothing's wrong their bullpens, but they can't throw
strikes to save their life. They rarely play good defense.
They don't. They don't have more than three or four
guys that can hit. Half the other guys suck. And
so the Yankees also have had their problems. They just
got smoked, didn't get swept, but they didn't play well.
(13:20):
In Toronto, New York had not one, not two, not three,
but four four errors at the stadium formerly known as
the SkyDome in Toronto. And so New York had four errors.
They lost to the Blue Jays, and then they continue
to look very blah, and they look they're looking up
(13:41):
as the Blue Jays are leading the American leagues, which
led to Aaron Boone saying, I think we have a
very good defensive club. Now that is a money quote.
The Yankees have been anything but a good defensive club.
They've had particular problems with the Blue Jays. They say
they see the Blue Jay logo and immediately they forget
(14:02):
how to catch the ball. So let's play off that
that's a good pivot point. So manager Aaron Boone defending
the New York Yankees defense after another clunker. How big
a concern is this? In the Bronx SA they talk
about the Bronx Zoo, they talk about that. How about
(14:25):
the House of Horrors? The Yankees defense? This is another
one of those stories that's not new. The Yankees defense
has been leaky for years. And when you think about
like health insurance, they would call this a pre existing
condition is what they would call. The Yankees literally cost
themselves a chance at the World Series, the World Championship
(14:49):
against the Dodgers because they kicked the ball all over
Yankee Stadium. You had Edward Scissors Hands playing center field,
otherwise known as Aaron Judge, and also Anthony Volpy Oops,
Anthony oops, vaulpy at short stuff. Take your pick. And
it's the same story this season as it was last season.
Nothing has changed. It's been this way for multiple years.
(15:11):
The Yankees have all this money, they have all the
star players, and yet they cannot make offen the routine play.
It's like they have this allergy. They're allergic to the
fundamentals of baseball, and these guys are so locked in.
And it's not just this in the Dodgers, I feel
with the same way. These teams are locked in on
the launch angle, the exit v low, the spin rate.
(15:35):
But what about knowing how to hit the cutoff man right?
What about that, Oh, you're just an old that you're
a boomer, Benny the boomer call them Benny the boomer.
Fundamentals don't matter in today's game. And that's the boring part.
Who cares about the nerds that have overtaken baseball and
(15:56):
all these front offices. They're too busy calculating me optimal backpath, uh,
you know, where to swing on a two to zero count,
instead of teaching their players how to field a ground
ball and not throw the ball in the dirt to
first base, right field the ground ball two outs in
the ninth close to the game. Now, Meanwhile, you look
(16:17):
at teams like the Brewers and the Blue Jays, for example,
and these are team the Bushs do spend a fair
amount of the Brewers don't in comparison, and yet you
look at how they play and they put the ball
in play. Amazing. What happens? This is such an old take,
and it's it's relevant again. If you put the ball
(16:38):
in play against a bad defensive team, this is gonna
blow your mind. This is what I'm about to say,
is gonna blow your mind. If you put the ball
in play against a bad defensive team, you put pressure
on the defense, you force errors. It's not complicated. I'm
not that smart, but I know this. You apply pressure,
and if you apply pressure, the crack start to show.
(17:01):
Because defense matters if you put the ball in play,
and if you strike out all the time, it doesn't matter.
And like look at the Red Sox and other's the
Red Sox their catcher doesn't even know the rules of catching,
and it's fascinating, Like Alice Cord doesn't teach it, he
doesn't Carry's just out, you know, eating, you know, appetizer's
an happy hour. He's not worried about that because that's
(17:23):
not analytics right. For them, it's about playing the probabilities
and that's what matters here. Whatever the computer says, it
says defense doesn't matter. Spoiler alert. The eyes tell you
something else. The eye test says something different to me. Right,
you give teams four or five outs, and what do
you think happens. That's right, it's kaboom. You lose games.
(17:49):
It's simple and mark my words. And I'm never wrong
about this. This Yankee team is going to implode in
October yet again because they have not address the issue.
The problem is still there. It is a poltergeist. They
don't know how to play defense. Volpie sucks. Judge isn't
(18:11):
that great a defensive player? Hell, I saw Cody Bellinger
in that game in Toronto last night, who's actually a
pretty good defensive player, even he took the stupid pills
from the Yangies. He lost a ball in adult and
I know the roof was open in Toronto, but he
lost the ball in the outfitld. It flew over his head.
You know where the ball was. That's supposed to one
(18:33):
of your better defensive players. Wild, It is the Ben
Maler Show. You want to comment on any of that?
Nothing like some hot fundamental talk in the middle of
the night. That's that's quality. That's why I'm doing overnights. Well,
are you talking about baseball fundamentals?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You loser?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I know, I know, I'm just a dope. I know
time now though, for the malar riddle of that, you
can call in at eight seven seven ninety of Fox. Also,
we have asked Ben coming up later this hour, But
here's the Mallard riddle of the day. As part of
a promotional event the Browns, the Cleveland Browns showed off
an oversized inflatable version of a new alternative helmet. Now
(19:17):
moments after they pulled the tarp off a photographer blank. Again,
part of a promotional event, the brown showed off an
oversized inflatable version of a new helmet that they're gonna
wear this year. And moments after they pulled this massive
tarp off a photographer blank. That's the malor riddle of
(19:38):
the day. The answer, we'll get to it. We'll do
it next.
Speaker 4 (19:41):

Speaker 6 (19:59):
And that's that's why we have a brand new podcast
called over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun
in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have
time for. Yeah, you blubber Lisa and me.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Locking on the Ben Malor show. Fly in the Red
Eye flight and we thank you for being part of
the show and supporting our loyal minions. There are more
Mallord meeting reached to come before the end of twenty
twenty five. I'll let you know when those are set
in stone. At least two or three more before the
(22:06):
end of the year, after the very successful Mallard meat
greet that we did back in Vancouver. If you'd like
to be part of the show, say hello on the
phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also
on at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mahler, Lorena sitting
(22:28):
the ones and the twos and the a's and the
bs FSR Tech Queen on X and Cooper Loop uh
fronco fan and now back Chris Hey, al right, back
to when we go and we will pay off the
mallor Riddle of the Day follow up to the follow up,
(22:49):
follow up to the follow up. That would be David
aka the Fried Daddy. We were talking about the receiver
Antonio Brown, former NFL receiver who's on the lamb. He's
in Dubai facing attempted murder charges. David says, there is
no statute of limitations on this. David, He's had some
run ins with the legal system. He says, there's no
(23:12):
statute of limitations on this bend. They know where Antonio
Brown is, so when he turns himself in or they
go get him, he will sit in jail until his
first court date for bail. They will not give him
bail because he's a flight risk. Book it. Ben Fry
Daddy says, they will plea this down to assault and battery.
(23:32):
They will give him time served because he will be
sitting in jail until they wrap this up, probably five
years parole also book it. So, according to Fried Daddy,
giving us possible inside skinny on how that works. Time
now though, for the malor Riddle of the Day. As
part of a promotional event, Cleveland Brown showed off an oversized,
(23:56):
inflatable version of their new helmet in alternative helmet design.
Moments after they pulled this massive parp off, a photographer
who was there to capture the moment blanked. That is
the question. What is the answer? Let's see malaprop guy,
he knows it. Let's see who else do we have?
(24:18):
Choked on a cheese nip from Lady sideburns. Jay Dot
in Utah says he found the Book of Mormon right
there at an event alf the Alien opinter says the
photographer lit the Cuyahoga River on fire. Milkman Mike and
Colorado says he was eaten by the kraken. Is the
(24:39):
answer the photograph photographer other did not like the helmet
and stabbed it with a knife, that says Josh in Nebraska,
Page Down Late Night drug tester says he set Lake
Erie on fire. King Roy says he received a medal
for photography. Scrooge says he sunk to the bottom of
(25:00):
the ocean. O Choe text though aka Keith from Deep
in the Heart of Texas as a photographer laughed and
farted simultaneously. Ferd Dog says he got the vapors. He
got the vapors. Who else do we have donkey sausage
said the guy just died, that's his sausage. Andy and
Lino Lake says, I don't want to cheat. I know
(25:22):
the answer. Thank you, Andy. You're a man of honor.
You're a man of honor now you are. JT the
Wingman says he cut the cheese just like someone did
on this week's Puck Podcast with Eddie? Is that true?
Somebody did Eddie fart on his pod hockey podcast? Man,
what's Eddie's becoming a shock jock over here at that
Puck podcast? Unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
You know, sometimes you think you can get it out
quietly and it's just not so. I bet that's what happened.
I don't think he did it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Those farts are tricky because sometimes you think they're just
a normal small fart, and then they're like a wet one.
And then other times you think they'll be kind of quiet,
and then they're loud and you don't think it'll smell
that much, and then they smell. They're very confusing. They're
really the ninja of bodily functions, right the part. They
really are. Mark in Santa Monica says he yelled no
(26:11):
because it was so ugly. The photographer cut off Luke's
hand from a guy named Luke, soiled himself laughing, said
Johnny Q. That's the answer. All right, that's enough. Do
you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Yes, Ben, I think the photographer broke out in a
Mama Mia dance routine.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Mama me a dance routine. All right, that's incorrect. Turns
are part of a promotional event. The Browns showed off
an oversized, inflatable version of their new helmet design, the
Alternative Helmet MoMA's. After they pulled this giant tarp off,
a photographer fell off the raft and plunged into the
waters of Lake Erie. He yell off the raft, of course,
(26:58):
everyone using that as a metaphor for the Browns upcoming
season and making mistake by the lake jokes and all
that and wonderful. And I'll never forget the great Hugh Jackson,
old Brown's coach, who had to jump into Lake Erie.
He promised the team would not replicate their one in
fifteen record, And while technically they didn't, in twenty sixteen
(27:20):
they were actually worse. They went oh in sixteen, And
there are so many remember when Brandon Whedon got caught
under the American flag. He was swallowed up like he
was eaten by Moby Dick. And I was just wonderful,
just just absolutely wonderful, great moments in Brown's history. And
the other thing about this, I noticed that the event
was sponsored by Dude Wipes. Isn't that the perfect sponsor
(27:44):
for the Cleveland Browns? A device to wipe your ass?
Is that not just the perfect partnership? My god, isn't
that wonderful? Wonderful one? Well, let's go to the phones.
Who do we have. Let's say hello to Enie Meani,
Miney Mo. Let's say hello to Tony in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, welcome,
(28:05):
hey man.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Two things Lake Snell is called snell Zilla. The I
say is called rules around crying like a little girl
Zilla into the beautiful Latina hooker I've seen at the
Taco truck. If you ever see a guy in a
bear's hat and you think this Tony, blow me.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Okay, thank you Tony. Hey. Sure a lot of hookers
love the show. You know, years ago though I did
have there was a stripper from Houston that used to
call the show up and pick NFL games. In the
early days, I was doing the weekend overnights. There was this.
(28:42):
I don't know how that happened, but she used to
call the show. I know what happened to her. I'm
guessing she's They are good people. Yeah, they live a
very important live strippers. I think that now became OnlyFans models.
Let's go to Bobby in Florida. What's going on? Bobby?
Welcome Ben.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Before I get to the reasons for my call, I
just wanted to let you know there were a few
Lukes you guys forgot about. You've got Uncle Luke from
two Live Crud, the rap group. You've got Luke Perry
Rest in Peace, Beverally Hills nine O two and zero,
and you're a man of a certain age, so I'm
surprised you forgot about Bo Duke's brother Luke Duke for
(29:24):
the Dukes of Hazzard.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah. The problem is, Bobby, I'm trying to be hip
with the kids, you know, right right, I can't if
I mentioned Duke's of Hazard, I feel like that's too
Like all my references are twenty years old. I don't
want to go like thirty five forty years I got
to go. I got to keep it within like the
last twenty years right.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I understand the gentleman that wrote in earlier about the
Blue Springs. That's absolutely your Manatee ghost two spot. But
if you do go, you got to make sure that
you're going in the wintertime because the manatees don't like
the cold water out and the mangroves in the ocean,
so they'll come into the springs where it's constantly in
the mid seventies. And to that point, I want to know,
(30:07):
how can we get you guys down here for a
malor meet and greet in Florida? With all the p
ones we've got down here. We've got freestanding poker rooms
and casinos all over the state for Coop. There's Walt
Disney World for Lorena. And we've got the villages for
you and the missus, and I'll hook you up.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
How dare you, Bobby? That's a low blow. I bet
Lorena don't even know where the villages are, do you, Lorena?
Speaker 8 (30:29):
No, what is a village?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It's a retirement communities? What it is? How dare you? Bobby?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
But uh, but if you happen to get down here,
like I said, you've got so many t ones and
if you go to that I would.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I would love to I would, I would love to
do that. I've been, I've been to Florida over the years.
I haven't been in many years, but I would love
to go down there. But the probably is such a
large state. Bobby, do we go Central Florida? We go
Son Florida.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
That My point is if you go to the central
Florida area, everybody can come. It's it's going to be
two three hours at the most.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I'll go down.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I'll pick up weed man hitpy. I lived just outside
of Orlando, so if you guys fly into Orlando, you're
central to everything. That Blue Springs State Park is maybe
about an hour outside of Orlando. Kermit's Key Line Bakery,
the place that they actually make the pies is right
next to Blue Springs, and you've got Boosey's right up
the street, all the thirty minutes of each other.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So right, you're selling me, Bobby, you're selling me.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Man, even get down here?
Speaker 7 (31:20):
All right?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
All right, Bobby, all right, all right, yeah, thank you?
I go away. All right, there's Bobby making an age joke.
How dare you? How dare Let's go to Andre though,
who's next? He's he's warming up in the bullpen and
his dog Willis. Hello, Andre, Welcome Andre.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
He has been great to be with you. Now now listen,
Willis is here. He's chilling right now. He might get
he might get motivated. We shall see. Went out for
the walk, had a good stroll. The nice weather has returned.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
By the way, Andre, before before you get going, Andrea,
I got an email from a guy who says, let
Andre know that he's not a real cape Cod guy
because you have to be born on the Cape to
be a real cape Cod guy. Your thoughts.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
Yeah, Now, neither I nor Willis appreciate that. And the
fact of the matter is, I've been clear that I'm
a wash sure being born in the great state, Yes,
Willis cours being born in the great state of New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
So if you want to have this keep Cape Cod
authentic type of perspective, that's fine. But again, going all
the way back to my great grandfather emigrated here from
the Cape Verde Islands. You know, I'm as Cape cape
Cod has many other people given you know, all the
people that has moved in from all different type of plots.
But I understand what he's saying. But I've always been clear,
(32:39):
great state of New Jersey is not my origin. And
then you know, second half of the journey, I've been
here on the Cape and Island, so I'll take that under.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Your dog. Willis is fired up here, ready to go.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
You know, because he isn't like people casting dispersions, you
know on the Cape Cus.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So he's defending like a good dog, Like a good dog,
Willis is the defending his master. Andre. I liked that.
Speaker 9 (33:04):
Fending the validity okay of my extra Twitter hashtag. You know,
so I sport cap cut kit. I came up with that.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Dirty in my in my head, Andre, Willis is like
your hype dog. He's hyping you up for the call.
He's like, I got you, I got you. Keep going, Andre,
keep going, Andre, keep going onre keep going Andre.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
He's bringing the motivation, you know that based on the
fact that the nice weather has returned and got down
in the fifties. Last couple of nights, we're in like
a cool sixty five six, you know, almost seventy. So
I went for a good walk. He got his exercise
for the day. So he's feeling good. He's a bit motivated.
But Ben, you're talking about the situation in the NBA.
You know, Jeff te has this podcast, he's casting dispersions
(33:47):
frankly on one mister Lebron James, and then he goes,
you know, as you know, now we would go deep
into the rabbit hole. You know, Tyler tiger Wood name
gets thrown into the mix. The fact of the matter,
you noted the clear point of demarcation and when actual
journalists broke stories and needed evidence to verify what they
said so that when they when they went out front
(34:08):
with their information. That issue is it's not good for
anybody's business. So why would the NBA, why would ESPN?
Why would all of these multinational corporations that depend on
narratives and storylines and content do away with the individual
who after Michael Jordan took the banner, took the mantle
and empowers the NBA forward. It doesn't make sense. So
(34:30):
just Tigue saying it it's good for clicks and you
can kind of get your name out there, so on
and forth. But there's gonna see absolutely no resolution in
terms of whether and this is a serious thing going
all the way back to shoe Joe Jackson's right talking
about having a competitive advantage. We kind of get brushed
under the rug and the NBA you have here whispers,
but there's no reinforcement where Actually it did cause a
(34:51):
major issue for baseball and they had to clean it up.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yet, well, listen, Andre, I think the point is, like
you get to a certain level of celebrity, and it's
there going to make sure that you're okay as much
as they can, right, whether it was you know, Kobe
had his issues, they were able to work that out
with a plea deal back in the day, you know,
tany you know, I'm sure he did no gambling. He's
just really dumb and he's an idiot with his money
(35:16):
and his interpreter was gambling and he had nothing to
do with that. Baseball made sure that goes that went away.
And the Lebron thing. I mean, there's certain guys you
can kind of get away with stuff and you're not
gonna get in trouble and or not in any real trouble,
and that's that. So yeah, yeah, I gotta go on that.
But thank you, Andre, and your dog Wills and ferg
(35:37):
dog points out, remember when Willis used to be camera shy.
Now he's trying to hog all of Andre's airtime. Shame
on him. JT. The Wyman says, you gotta love Tony
in the Bay Area's commitment to the bit testing the
dump button on a daily basis. Straight ahead, we are
moments away from ask Ben. Your questions are answers. We'll

Speaker 10 (37:03):
All right, We're gonna start off with a question from
Donkey Sausage.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Hi, Donkey.
Speaker 10 (37:07):
He would like to know what is something that you're
terrible at but wish you could do well?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
What am I terrible at that? I wish I could
do well? Let's see anything involving gymnastics, anything, Not that
I want to be a gymnast or anything like that,
but I'm always jealous of people that have that that ability.
That's like the first thing that popped up. You see
people that are very good at manipulating their body in
(37:33):
certain ways. I'm not great at that. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 8 (37:36):
Yeah, somewhere between drawing and taking good photos.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
You take good photo You're very popular. People love you,
and the mald Militia is But.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
Do there's some people are so photogenic and it does
takes nothing, like I have to work really hard.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah. I hate looking at myself. That's why I got
in the radio. It sucks like doing the TV show
the last couple of years. I'm like, holy crap, I
am so ugly. My god, what about you? Coop.
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Uh, well, there's plenty of things that I'm not very
good at that I wish I were. Uh, but I
think that on the top of the list, I would
choose playing guitar.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Oh, I'm having the music music ability? Yeah, I got you,
I got you. Yeah. I knew how to play the
piano a little bit, just like I could put my
finger across the keys. My mom taught me that. All right,
what's next? What do we have here? Alf?
Speaker 10 (38:23):
The alien opiner? Hi Alf, We would like to know
and he puts hashtag ask band, hashtag ask Coop.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
So I guess he's yeah, you're out, Lorena.
Speaker 10 (38:34):
He says, does your spouse put items away in different
places than where they belong or where they've always been?
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Uh? Yeah. So there's there's a lot of hey, you
know text, where is that thing? Of a jake? You know,
where's the watch? McCall it? And she's usually pretty good,
but sometimes there it's a it's a great it's like, uh,
where's waldough thing? So it's it is inconsistent. How about that?
What about you, Coop?
Speaker 10 (39:00):
Well, it's not so much that she puts items away
in different places than where they belong. It's that she
doesn't put them away at all.
Speaker 1 (39:08):
Well, there's some of that too. There's some of that
he's talking about, like laundry piling up that well, laundry.
Speaker 10 (39:13):
And then like we have like there's a box cutter
that you know, we keep in the knife drawer, and
she'll take it out of the knife drawer, open the
box wherever it is that she is, and then just
puts the the box cutter down right there, and then
that's where it stays until I have to find it
for us.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
It's the backup charger. Say hey, we're going on a
weekend road trip. Where's the backup charger you had it last?
I don't know where it is. It should be where
I put it. I don't know where it is. What's next?
Speaker 10 (39:41):
Late night drug tester. We'd like to know for everybody
in honor of National Drive through Day, has your car
ever died while in line of the drive through?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
No? But I did get I did get an accident
at the McDonald's over in Hollywood when I was a
single lad at three in the morning. I was online
at the There were two drive through windows. You pay
at the first one, you get the food at the
second one. I was at the first window to pay.
I had paid, I was waiting to move up, and
as I was getting ready to move up, the car
(40:09):
in front of me, driven by a sixteen year old,
realized he forgot to pay and decided to back up
without looking and rode into my car. It slammed into
my car. Oh, schmuck, Yeah, all the RAINA.
Speaker 8 (40:24):
I don't think so. I usually block out really traumatizing
moments like that, But I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
I understand. What about you?
Speaker 10 (40:32):
Yes, I was in a rented Dodge charger and ran
out of gas in the Arby's drive through.
Speaker 8 (40:39):
Why would you go to a drive through when you
know you need gas?
Speaker 10 (40:42):
I didn't know how big the like reserve tank was.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I thought I hadn't plenty of time. It's unfortunate. It
was very embarrassing.
Speaker 10 (40:50):
I had to call my mom to come like, bring
over a gas in a tank.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
That's a dereliction of duties.
Speaker 10 (40:56):
People had to back up out of the drive through.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
And Arby's, come on, not a taco bell and come on,
all right? What's next? Bobby?
Speaker 10 (41:06):
And Florida wants to know what was your favorite childhood
family vacation.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Oh, we had a great time. We went on a
lot of like family reunion in Chicago. I have a
very memorable one being on Lake Michigan during the Fourth
of July fireworks. That was a fond memory. Phoenix, we
had a a family reunion there. Those are a couple
of big ones. What about you, Lorena.
Speaker 8 (41:26):
I like going to the Lava Caves up in Oregon.
That was really fun.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Okay cool.
Speaker 10 (41:30):
I did a cross country trip with my mom and
my sisters, and then we would also go to Laughlin
every year with my dad.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
Oh nice, Yeah, very cool. They're just ask Ben
Boom shaka Laca. It's our number three, and we thank
you for being a loyal p one, even though you
don't work the overnight shift and you probably worked the
dreaded day shift. Here in our number three, we send
this out to Spaccoli. Jeff t that's a basketball player.
Jeff t claimed Lebron James was a steroid guy. He
(00:21):
then tried to unring the bell, saying he was just kidding.
How do you process this one now? Lebron defenders have
pointed out that Jeff Tigue's timeline doesn't check out. Does
that change things for you? And in baseball, manager Aaron
Boone thinks the Yankee defense is fine. He defended it
after another clunker in Toronto. How big a concern is
this in the Bronx. We'll get to that as well.
(00:44):
Right now here, it is our number three. You said
what you can't You said no, you said that you
can't take it back. There's no takebacks. Welc in not
beginning of another hour of the Ben Malor Show. As
we are in the air aywhere in combination, as we
(01:09):
are late night, loud and proud, Coast to coast, port
of the Border and beyond on the mast and resoundingly
powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from the blood as
we smell blood in the water from the Fox Sports
Radio studios, as approved by og Art, Puffin and ostrich Ant.
(01:33):
Now I'm old enough to remember when ostrich Ant would
send artwork to the show. He's too busy now, he didn't.
You have time to make art anymore, and he probably
wants us to pay for it. We're not doing that.
We're not doing that. This portion of the Ben Mallory
Show made possible in part by our friends at tire Rack.
For over forty years, ti Raq has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive.
(01:55):
Ship fast and free. That's right, free for dog and
mister night Guy back by free road hazard protection. I
see alf nodding over there with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation, higher rack dot Com, the way tire
buying showy. So harleie. This hour is from the big
(02:18):
Mouth Department. As someone that has a big mouth, I
respect other big mouths. I bring up former generic NBA
basketball player Jeff Tague. Probably don't know who that is
unless you're a basketball hard oh, he's not a memorable player,
but he did say something memorable. Jeff t went on
(02:39):
a podcast discussion that went apparently off the rails. Off
the rails there recently wild ped accusation lobbed at Lebron James.
Did you hear about this? Perhaps not. Many people would
(03:00):
like you not to know about this. So in the
latest edition of The Fledgling something called the Club five
to twenty podcasts. I have no idea what that is.
I don't know anyone's ever heard that podcast. But anyway,
Jeff Teague was asked to choose the best version of
Labron and he he said the Miami Heat Bron without hesitation.
(03:22):
But they were a bunch of people talking, were going
back and forth, and then he brought off the reason
for Lebron as a Miami Heat player. This is again
a guy played in the league. Was a player who
went against Lebron James. Let let's go to the audio tape.
Take a listen.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He was on steroids, bro, He had to sit out.
He was on steroids for real, was on steroids, Bro.
I'm allegedly, but like, he had to sit out. But
you all remember when they told him, like they plus
four was like he got everybody. They started chasing testing
for AGH and they was like yo, and he had
(04:00):
to sit out, like he said, his back was her
and he set out for like three weeks and he
came back skinny. This was just I was in the league,
I remember, and he came back and he was he
was crazy though it might have been the best bron
bro all right, Bro.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I liked that he mixed the allegedly in like that'll
get him out of jail. All right. So the money
quote as you heard there, they started testing for HGH
and he had to sit out his back. They said
his back was hurting, and he sat out for three
weeks and came back skinny. Now, shortly after those comments
went viral. I mean, I had buddies of mine all
over the place, my radio friends. Did you see what
(04:35):
Jeff Tiek said? I said, who the hell is Jeff Tig?
Don't you see what he said? Oh my god, you're
gonna start your show with this? Well, obviously I didn't
start the show with this because Jeff Tigue after this
went viral, he tried to we went on Instagram, he
tried to clarify. He claimed he was just joking. Just joking.
So let us discuss the question Jeff Tigue claiming that
(04:56):
Lebron was a steroid guy, and then he tried to
unring the bell. Tried to unring the bell. How do
you process this one? So I've got ray bands, Antarctica,
and health insurance, and we'll connect all of this together
and we'll say hello to Blind Scott, who's been on
(05:19):
hold the entire show. All right now, first of all,
keeping track of this story because I have no life.
This is what I do as I look for things
that I might want to talk about on the show
during the day. So I got whiplash on this one.
In a literally a nano second. Do you know how
short a nanosecond is? In a nanosecond, Jeff Tge went
(05:40):
from full Kamakazi on King James to backpedaling like Prime
Dion Sanders back in the day, Right, just like that,
Tigue Another's little cute Little Jock podcast where the guys
sit around talk about the glory days and all that,
and he drops this just very casual in conversation comment
(06:00):
about Lebron James being on steroids with the Miami Heat,
just a throwaway line like he's ordering some takeout food
on door dash and and then he pulls out the
classic psych in your face. I was just playing man.
Of course. I happened to have a PhD. I bought
it online. I have a PhD in the ancient art
(06:22):
of sarcasm. I like to dabble in the art of sarcasm.
And this is not that right. We believe that Jeff
t did the thing you can't do at the time.
You can't do it, he said the quiet part out loud.
Now would love to have been a fly in the wall.
When the phone started ringing, ring ring. Hey, hey, Jeff,
(06:46):
it's it's your your agent here. Yeah, it was going on.
Yeah so you did a podcast, Yeah I did. I
did it the other day. Yeah. So apparently he said
Lebron is Lebron's doing so? Yeah, yeah, I said that.
Who cares. Well, there's maybe some dudes in dark suits
that would like to talk to you, you know. Click and
then the guys in ray bands in the SUVs that
(07:07):
the black SUVs pull up to the door. They give
Jeff Tigue in my head a friendly reminder. They say, hey, hey, Jeff,
you know we've got the ray bands, We've got the
suits on that movie Men in Black that was actually
not that was not drama, that was real. Uh you
know the old fiction nonfiction that was that was nonfiction.
And Lebron is a Listen, Lebron's a multi billion dollar
(07:29):
global asset. Nobody knows who you are. Zip it l zippo,
all right now. Secondly, so the Lebron defenders pointing out
that there are some flaws in Jeff Tigue's timeline that
it doesn't check out, So does that change things? So
for me, it's not in any measurable way, it's not
(07:51):
with the story. Listen, And it is true Tigue's memory
was apparently off. The NBA did not start testing for
HGH until Lebron was back in Cleveland. But it doesn't
change the overall narrative, like this is not new. The
whispers about Lebron having magic beans wink wink or special
(08:15):
recovery juice, what's in the juice that's not pineapple juice?
The wolverine level healing powers of Lebron, they've been out
there for a long time, years ago. I was fortunate
enough when I was doing my website, I befriended some
big time gossip writers that for some reason became friends
of mine and not good friends, you know, fake friends,
(08:37):
work friends. And I went to a ret I actually
had power luncheon with a very powerful writer. This is
past so far ago, I can tell the story now.
So we went. He wanted to meet me for lunch,
so we had like a power lunch, and he was
telling me about his his time as a investigative reporter
and whatnot. And he had said, and this is a
(09:00):
long early in Lebron's career, said that there had been
a story that he had been following and he didn't
have enough to go with it. But he because at
that time, you actually had journalistic standards, which you don't
have anymore. But he said that at that time there
were two people that they were pretty sure were doing steroids,
but they didn't have the smoking gun. And one of
(09:21):
them was Lebron. The other was Tiger Woods, and this
guy was committed. Now this is we got we almost
got it. We're not quite there yet. So this this
is like I'm going back probably seventeen eighteen years ago.
I had a long time. I had a long time ago,
and so it's been out there. However, God forbid anyone
(09:43):
in the mainstream or not mainstream media. I'm on in
the middle of the night. God knows ninety nine percent
of people are sleeping right now. The mainstream media does
not go there. You bring up peds and Lebron in
the same sentence, and you were on the knotty list.
Can't you know what? Cannot do it. There was some
guy and the w or the UFC wrap the UFC
(10:04):
that a couple of years ago named Lebron said he
knew the guy Lebron was getting the drugs from and
that story was Barry Like, if you do that, you
are not allowed to be part of the cool club's
you know, the cool kids club. You're you're on like
a watch list. And to bring up Lebron in the
mainstream and steroids, it is a kin to talking about
(10:26):
Area fifty one or the moon landing, or why no
one's allowed to explore Antarctica right because there's a apparently
that's where the UFOs are and all that the great
conspiracies like these things are talked about on over on
coast to coast with our friend George Nori. Those things are,
but in sports radio there's certain things that are not allowed,
like Lebron during the day it doesn't really come out
very much at all during the day, Right. It's one
(10:47):
of those things you get close to the truth and
suddenly the hard drive that you have gets wiped out,
your WiFi stops working, and like, like Jeff t he
didn't make a I think he made a mistake. Like
you're not supposed to say that you messed with Lebron.
You're not supposed to say that publicly. And Lebron's one
of these guys, he's too big to failt Now my argument,
(11:09):
and this is my counter argument to what Jeff Teek said.
I truly believe Lebron is one of those athletes. If
he got caught red handed, if Lebron was videoed injecting
testosterone into his Badonka donk while bathing in deer antler
spray and rubbing the clear in the cream he got
(11:30):
from Barry Bonds that special lotion on his elbows, the NBA,
I would say, listen, this is league approved. It's a
new therapy, it's a exploratory therapy, and it's actually sponsored
by Gatorade and Disney Plus it's all good, it's all kosher.
Like that's the same league that has spent over a decade. Well,
(11:51):
I guess it's over now. They spent over a decade
pretending that load management was not destroying the product. It's
the same league years ago. The famous story about Michael
Jordan who got involved in some gambling and then all
of a sudden decided to retire in the prime of
his career to go play baseball in Birmingham, Alabama and
ride buses until the suspension was over. Wink wink, nod
(12:14):
nod by David Stern, and then came back to the NBA.
So there's certain people that are just too big. It's
not gonna Maybe when Lebron's done washed up at the
end meeting he's not playing anymore, stuff like that will
come out. I've heard it for almost twenty years. Like
I don't have any prove I just keep hearing it.
You keep hearing something, you tend to think there's something there,
(12:36):
there's a there there all right now, final fuck to
baseball we go, and you look around baseball. We are
in the dog days, arf, We are in the dog
days of baseball. Here. The dog that was not Willis,
by the way, that was a different dog. That was
Moxieff herf that was a moxie barking. So in baseball,
the Tigers sock. They got swept by the Pirates. The
(12:58):
Dodgers blow, they lost eleven of the last fifteen games.
They think nothing's wrong their bullpens, but they can't throw
strikes to save their life. They rarely play good defense.
They don't. They don't have more than three or four
guys that can hit. Half the other guys suck. And
so the Yankees also have had their problems. They just
got smoked, didn't get swept, but they didn't play well.
(13:20):
In Toronto, New York had not one, not two, not three,
but four four errors at the stadium formerly known as
the SkyDome in Toronto. And so New York had four errors.
They lost to the Blue Jays, and then they continue
to look very blah, and they look they're looking up
(13:41):
as the Blue Jays are leading the American leagues, which
led to Aaron Boone saying, I think we have a
very good defensive club. Now that is a money quote.
The Yankees have been anything but a good defensive club.
They've had particular problems with the Blue Jays. They say
they see the Blue Jay logo and immediately they forget
(14:02):
how to catch the ball. So let's play off that
that's a good pivot point. So manager Aaron Boone defending
the New York Yankees defense after another clunker. How big
a concern is this? In the Bronx SA they talk
about the Bronx Zoo, they talk about that. How about
(14:25):
the House of Horrors? The Yankees defense? This is another
one of those stories that's not new. The Yankees defense
has been leaky for years. And when you think about
like health insurance, they would call this a pre existing
condition is what they would call. The Yankees literally cost
themselves a chance at the World Series, the World Championship
(14:49):
against the Dodgers because they kicked the ball all over
Yankee Stadium. You had Edward Scissors Hands playing center field,
otherwise known as Aaron Judge, and also Anthony Volpy Oops,
Anthony oops, vaulpy at short stuff. Take your pick. And
it's the same story this season as it was last season.
Nothing has changed. It's been this way for multiple years.
(15:11):
The Yankees have all this money, they have all the
star players, and yet they cannot make offen the routine play.
It's like they have this allergy. They're allergic to the
fundamentals of baseball, and these guys are so locked in.
And it's not just this in the Dodgers, I feel
with the same way. These teams are locked in on
the launch angle, the exit v low, the spin rate.
(15:35):
But what about knowing how to hit the cutoff man right?
What about that, Oh, you're just an old that you're
a boomer, Benny the boomer call them Benny the boomer.
Fundamentals don't matter in today's game. And that's the boring part.
Who cares about the nerds that have overtaken baseball and
(15:56):
all these front offices. They're too busy calculating me optimal backpath, uh,
you know, where to swing on a two to zero count,
instead of teaching their players how to field a ground
ball and not throw the ball in the dirt to
first base, right field the ground ball two outs in
the ninth close to the game. Now, Meanwhile, you look
(16:17):
at teams like the Brewers and the Blue Jays, for example,
and these are team the Bushs do spend a fair
amount of the Brewers don't in comparison, and yet you
look at how they play and they put the ball
in play. Amazing. What happens? This is such an old take,
and it's it's relevant again. If you put the ball
(16:38):
in play against a bad defensive team, this is gonna
blow your mind. This is what I'm about to say,
is gonna blow your mind. If you put the ball
in play against a bad defensive team, you put pressure
on the defense, you force errors. It's not complicated. I'm
not that smart, but I know this. You apply pressure,
and if you apply pressure, the crack start to show.
(17:01):
Because defense matters if you put the ball in play,
and if you strike out all the time, it doesn't matter.
And like look at the Red Sox and other's the
Red Sox their catcher doesn't even know the rules of catching,
and it's fascinating, Like Alice Cord doesn't teach it, he
doesn't Carry's just out, you know, eating, you know, appetizer's
an happy hour. He's not worried about that because that's
(17:23):
not analytics right. For them, it's about playing the probabilities
and that's what matters here. Whatever the computer says, it
says defense doesn't matter. Spoiler alert. The eyes tell you
something else. The eye test says something different to me. Right,
you give teams four or five outs, and what do
you think happens. That's right, it's kaboom. You lose games.
(17:49):
It's simple and mark my words. And I'm never wrong
about this. This Yankee team is going to implode in
October yet again because they have not address the issue.
The problem is still there. It is a poltergeist. They
don't know how to play defense. Volpie sucks. Judge isn't
(18:11):
that great a defensive player? Hell, I saw Cody Bellinger
in that game in Toronto last night, who's actually a
pretty good defensive player, even he took the stupid pills
from the Yangies. He lost a ball in adult and
I know the roof was open in Toronto, but he
lost the ball in the outfitld. It flew over his head.
You know where the ball was. That's supposed to one
(18:33):
of your better defensive players. Wild, It is the Ben
Maler Show. You want to comment on any of that?
Nothing like some hot fundamental talk in the middle of
the night. That's that's quality. That's why I'm doing overnights. Well,
are you talking about baseball fundamentals?
Speaker 3 (18:51):
You loser?
Speaker 1 (18:52):
I know, I know, I'm just a dope. I know
time now though, for the malar riddle of that, you
can call in at eight seven seven ninety of Fox. Also,
we have asked Ben coming up later this hour, But
here's the Mallard riddle of the day. As part of
a promotional event the Browns, the Cleveland Browns showed off
an oversized inflatable version of a new alternative helmet. Now
(19:17):
moments after they pulled the tarp off a photographer blank. Again,
part of a promotional event, the brown showed off an
oversized inflatable version of a new helmet that they're gonna
wear this year. And moments after they pulled this massive
tarp off a photographer blank. That's the malor riddle of
(19:38):
the day. The answer, we'll get to it. We'll do
it next.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maller

in our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,
because this guy is over promising things we never have

Speaker 1 (21:43):
Locking on the Ben Malor show. Fly in the Red
Eye flight and we thank you for being part of
the show and supporting our loyal minions. There are more
Mallord meeting reached to come before the end of twenty
twenty five. I'll let you know when those are set
in stone. At least two or three more before the
(22:06):
end of the year, after the very successful Mallard meat
greet that we did back in Vancouver. If you'd like
to be part of the show, say hello on the
phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Also
on at Ben Mahler. That's at Ben Mahler, Lorena sitting
(22:28):
the ones and the twos and the a's and the
bs FSR Tech Queen on X and Cooper Loop uh
fronco fan and now back Chris Hey, al right, back
to when we go and we will pay off the
mallor Riddle of the Day follow up to the follow up,
(22:49):
follow up to the follow up. That would be David
aka the Fried Daddy. We were talking about the receiver
Antonio Brown, former NFL receiver who's on the lamb. He's
in Dubai facing attempted murder charges. David says, there is
no statute of limitations on this. David, He's had some
run ins with the legal system. He says, there's no
(23:12):
statute of limitations on this bend. They know where Antonio
Brown is, so when he turns himself in or they
go get him, he will sit in jail until his
first court date for bail. They will not give him
bail because he's a flight risk. Book it. Ben Fry
Daddy says, they will plea this down to assault and battery.
(23:32):
They will give him time served because he will be
sitting in jail until they wrap this up, probably five
years parole also book it. So, according to Fried Daddy,
giving us possible inside skinny on how that works. Time
now though, for the malor Riddle of the Day. As
part of a promotional event, Cleveland Brown showed off an oversized,
(23:56):
inflatable version of their new helmet in alternative helmet design.
Moments after they pulled this massive parp off, a photographer
who was there to capture the moment blanked. That is
the question. What is the answer? Let's see malaprop guy,
he knows it. Let's see who else do we have?
(24:18):
Choked on a cheese nip from Lady sideburns. Jay Dot
in Utah says he found the Book of Mormon right
there at an event alf the Alien opinter says the
photographer lit the Cuyahoga River on fire. Milkman Mike and
Colorado says he was eaten by the kraken. Is the
(24:39):
answer the photograph photographer other did not like the helmet
and stabbed it with a knife, that says Josh in Nebraska,
Page Down Late Night drug tester says he set Lake
Erie on fire. King Roy says he received a medal
for photography. Scrooge says he sunk to the bottom of
(25:00):
the ocean. O Choe text though aka Keith from Deep
in the Heart of Texas as a photographer laughed and
farted simultaneously. Ferd Dog says he got the vapors. He
got the vapors. Who else do we have donkey sausage
said the guy just died, that's his sausage. Andy and
Lino Lake says, I don't want to cheat. I know
(25:22):
the answer. Thank you, Andy. You're a man of honor.
You're a man of honor now you are. JT the
Wingman says he cut the cheese just like someone did
on this week's Puck Podcast with Eddie? Is that true?
Somebody did Eddie fart on his pod hockey podcast? Man,
what's Eddie's becoming a shock jock over here at that
Puck podcast? Unbelievable.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
You know, sometimes you think you can get it out
quietly and it's just not so. I bet that's what happened.
I don't think he did it on purpose.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Those farts are tricky because sometimes you think they're just
a normal small fart, and then they're like a wet one.
And then other times you think they'll be kind of quiet,
and then they're loud and you don't think it'll smell
that much, and then they smell. They're very confusing. They're
really the ninja of bodily functions, right the part. They
really are. Mark in Santa Monica says he yelled no
(26:11):
because it was so ugly. The photographer cut off Luke's
hand from a guy named Luke, soiled himself laughing, said
Johnny Q. That's the answer. All right, that's enough. Do
you have an answer, Lorraine?
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Yes, Ben, I think the photographer broke out in a
Mama Mia dance routine.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Mama me a dance routine. All right, that's incorrect. Turns
are part of a promotional event. The Browns showed off
an oversized, inflatable version of their new helmet design, the
Alternative Helmet MoMA's. After they pulled this giant tarp off,
a photographer fell off the raft and plunged into the
waters of Lake Erie. He yell off the raft, of course,
(26:58):
everyone using that as a metaphor for the Browns upcoming
season and making mistake by the lake jokes and all
that and wonderful. And I'll never forget the great Hugh Jackson,
old Brown's coach, who had to jump into Lake Erie.
He promised the team would not replicate their one in
fifteen record, And while technically they didn't, in twenty sixteen
(27:20):
they were actually worse. They went oh in sixteen, And
there are so many remember when Brandon Whedon got caught
under the American flag. He was swallowed up like he
was eaten by Moby Dick. And I was just wonderful,
just just absolutely wonderful, great moments in Brown's history. And
the other thing about this, I noticed that the event
was sponsored by Dude Wipes. Isn't that the perfect sponsor
(27:44):
for the Cleveland Browns? A device to wipe your ass?
Is that not just the perfect partnership? My god, isn't
that wonderful? Wonderful one? Well, let's go to the phones.
Who do we have. Let's say hello to Enie Meani,
Miney Mo. Let's say hello to Tony in the Bay Area. Hello, Tony, welcome,
(28:05):
hey man.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
Two things Lake Snell is called snell Zilla. The I
say is called rules around crying like a little girl
Zilla into the beautiful Latina hooker I've seen at the
Taco truck. If you ever see a guy in a
bear's hat and you think this Tony, blow me.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Okay, thank you Tony. Hey. Sure a lot of hookers
love the show. You know, years ago though I did
have there was a stripper from Houston that used to
call the show up and pick NFL games. In the
early days, I was doing the weekend overnights. There was this.
(28:42):
I don't know how that happened, but she used to
call the show. I know what happened to her. I'm
guessing she's They are good people. Yeah, they live a
very important live strippers. I think that now became OnlyFans models.
Let's go to Bobby in Florida. What's going on? Bobby?
Welcome Ben.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
Before I get to the reasons for my call, I
just wanted to let you know there were a few
Lukes you guys forgot about. You've got Uncle Luke from
two Live Crud, the rap group. You've got Luke Perry
Rest in Peace, Beverally Hills nine O two and zero,
and you're a man of a certain age, so I'm
surprised you forgot about Bo Duke's brother Luke Duke for
(29:24):
the Dukes of Hazzard.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah. The problem is, Bobby, I'm trying to be hip
with the kids, you know, right right, I can't if
I mentioned Duke's of Hazard, I feel like that's too
Like all my references are twenty years old. I don't
want to go like thirty five forty years I got
to go. I got to keep it within like the
last twenty years right.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
I understand the gentleman that wrote in earlier about the
Blue Springs. That's absolutely your Manatee ghost two spot. But
if you do go, you got to make sure that
you're going in the wintertime because the manatees don't like
the cold water out and the mangroves in the ocean,
so they'll come into the springs where it's constantly in
the mid seventies. And to that point, I want to know,
(30:07):
how can we get you guys down here for a
malor meet and greet in Florida? With all the p
ones we've got down here. We've got freestanding poker rooms
and casinos all over the state for Coop. There's Walt
Disney World for Lorena. And we've got the villages for
you and the missus, and I'll hook you up.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
How dare you, Bobby? That's a low blow. I bet
Lorena don't even know where the villages are, do you, Lorena?
Speaker 8 (30:29):
No, what is a village?
Speaker 1 (30:30):
It's a retirement communities? What it is? How dare you? Bobby?
Speaker 3 (30:34):
But uh, but if you happen to get down here,
like I said, you've got so many t ones and
if you go to that I would.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I would love to I would, I would love to
do that. I've been, I've been to Florida over the years.
I haven't been in many years, but I would love
to go down there. But the probably is such a
large state. Bobby, do we go Central Florida? We go
Son Florida.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
That My point is if you go to the central
Florida area, everybody can come. It's it's going to be
two three hours at the most.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
I'll go down.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
I'll pick up weed man hitpy. I lived just outside
of Orlando, so if you guys fly into Orlando, you're
central to everything. That Blue Springs State Park is maybe
about an hour outside of Orlando. Kermit's Key Line Bakery,
the place that they actually make the pies is right
next to Blue Springs, and you've got Boosey's right up
the street, all the thirty minutes of each other.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
So right, you're selling me, Bobby, you're selling me.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Man, even get down here?
Speaker 7 (31:20):
All right?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
All right, Bobby, all right, all right, yeah, thank you?
I go away. All right, there's Bobby making an age joke.
How dare you? How dare Let's go to Andre though,
who's next? He's he's warming up in the bullpen and
his dog Willis. Hello, Andre, Welcome Andre.
Speaker 9 (31:39):
He has been great to be with you. Now now listen,
Willis is here. He's chilling right now. He might get
he might get motivated. We shall see. Went out for
the walk, had a good stroll. The nice weather has returned.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Now.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
By the way, Andre, before before you get going, Andrea,
I got an email from a guy who says, let
Andre know that he's not a real cape Cod guy
because you have to be born on the Cape to
be a real cape Cod guy. Your thoughts.
Speaker 9 (32:06):
Yeah, Now, neither I nor Willis appreciate that. And the
fact of the matter is, I've been clear that I'm
a wash sure being born in the great state, Yes,
Willis cours being born in the great state of New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
So if you want to have this keep Cape Cod
authentic type of perspective, that's fine. But again, going all
the way back to my great grandfather emigrated here from
the Cape Verde Islands. You know, I'm as Cape cape
Cod has many other people given you know, all the
people that has moved in from all different type of plots.
But I understand what he's saying. But I've always been clear,
(32:39):
great state of New Jersey is not my origin. And
then you know, second half of the journey, I've been
here on the Cape and Island, so I'll take that under.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Your dog. Willis is fired up here, ready to go.
Speaker 9 (32:52):
You know, because he isn't like people casting dispersions, you
know on the Cape Cus.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So he's defending like a good dog, Like a good dog,
Willis is the defending his master. Andre. I liked that.
Speaker 9 (33:04):
Fending the validity okay of my extra Twitter hashtag. You know,
so I sport cap cut kit. I came up with that.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Dirty in my in my head, Andre, Willis is like
your hype dog. He's hyping you up for the call.
He's like, I got you, I got you. Keep going, Andre,
keep going, Andre, keep going onre keep going Andre.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
He's bringing the motivation, you know that based on the
fact that the nice weather has returned and got down
in the fifties. Last couple of nights, we're in like
a cool sixty five six, you know, almost seventy. So
I went for a good walk. He got his exercise
for the day. So he's feeling good. He's a bit motivated.
But Ben, you're talking about the situation in the NBA.
You know, Jeff te has this podcast, he's casting dispersions
(33:47):
frankly on one mister Lebron James, and then he goes,
you know, as you know, now we would go deep
into the rabbit hole. You know, Tyler tiger Wood name
gets thrown into the mix. The fact of the matter,
you noted the clear point of demarcation and when actual
journalists broke stories and needed evidence to verify what they
said so that when they when they went out front
(34:08):
with their information. That issue is it's not good for
anybody's business. So why would the NBA, why would ESPN?
Why would all of these multinational corporations that depend on
narratives and storylines and content do away with the individual
who after Michael Jordan took the banner, took the mantle
and empowers the NBA forward. It doesn't make sense. So
(34:30):
just Tigue saying it it's good for clicks and you
can kind of get your name out there, so on
and forth. But there's gonna see absolutely no resolution in
terms of whether and this is a serious thing going
all the way back to shoe Joe Jackson's right talking
about having a competitive advantage. We kind of get brushed
under the rug and the NBA you have here whispers,
but there's no reinforcement where Actually it did cause a
(34:51):
major issue for baseball and they had to clean it up.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Yet, well, listen, Andre, I think the point is, like
you get to a certain level of celebrity, and it's
there going to make sure that you're okay as much
as they can, right, whether it was you know, Kobe
had his issues, they were able to work that out
with a plea deal back in the day, you know,
tany you know, I'm sure he did no gambling. He's
just really dumb and he's an idiot with his money
(35:16):
and his interpreter was gambling and he had nothing to
do with that. Baseball made sure that goes that went away.
And the Lebron thing. I mean, there's certain guys you
can kind of get away with stuff and you're not
gonna get in trouble and or not in any real trouble,
and that's that. So yeah, yeah, I gotta go on that.
But thank you, Andre, and your dog Wills and ferg
(35:37):
dog points out, remember when Willis used to be camera shy.
Now he's trying to hog all of Andre's airtime. Shame
on him. JT. The Wyman says, you gotta love Tony
in the Bay Area's commitment to the bit testing the
dump button on a daily basis. Straight ahead, we are
moments away from ask Ben. Your questions are answers. We'll
get to that for the rest of the hour. We'll
do it next.

Donkey Sausage.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Hi, Donkey.
Speaker 10 (37:07):
He would like to know what is something that you're
terrible at but wish you could do well?
Speaker 5 (37:13):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
What am I terrible at that? I wish I could
do well? Let's see anything involving gymnastics, anything, Not that
I want to be a gymnast or anything like that,
but I'm always jealous of people that have that that ability.
That's like the first thing that popped up. You see
people that are very good at manipulating their body in
(37:33):
certain ways. I'm not great at that. What about you, Lorena?
Speaker 8 (37:36):
Yeah, somewhere between drawing and taking good photos.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
You take good photo You're very popular. People love you,
and the mald Militia is But.
Speaker 8 (37:45):
Do there's some people are so photogenic and it does
takes nothing, like I have to work really hard.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah. I hate looking at myself. That's why I got
in the radio. It sucks like doing the TV show
the last couple of years. I'm like, holy crap, I
am so ugly. My god, what about you? Coop.
Speaker 10 (38:00):
Uh, well, there's plenty of things that I'm not very
good at that I wish I were. Uh, but I
think that on the top of the list, I would
choose playing guitar.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
Oh, I'm having the music music ability? Yeah, I got you,
I got you. Yeah. I knew how to play the
piano a little bit, just like I could put my
finger across the keys. My mom taught me that. All right,
what's next? What do we have here? Alf?
Speaker 10 (38:23):
The alien opiner? Hi Alf, We would like to know
and he puts hashtag ask band, hashtag ask Coop.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
So I guess he's yeah, you're out, Lorena.
Speaker 10 (38:34):
He says, does your spouse put items away in different
