Silver and Michael Jordan's peace offering to welcome Charles Oakley
back to Madison Square Garden. Also, what is the hold
up on the NBA to ciding the fate of the
Clippers over Kawhi Leonards alleged no show job. Got an
(00:35):

is from pro Bouncy Vault, not the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
They did play the NBA.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Finals last night and the San Antonio Spurs played like
choking dogs.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They w a fourteen point lead in the third.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Quarter, got outscored by twenty four points over the final
eighteen and a half minutes of the game. He shot
thirty three point three percent the final eighteen minutes of
the game. Eighteen and a half minutes of the game
half the sign of the Devil. Wemby had a bad game.
He's very confident. What is he supposed to not be confident?
(03:40):
We had a fan run out on the court trying
to get social media clout.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We have more on that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We'll tell you about it coming up a little bit
later in the hour, So well you'll want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The update. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The update on this Jabbroni that ran out in the court,
as Tony Bruno would say, a strapper, Well what happened him?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But our lead, though, is from the Peace Talks yeah,
so the New Yorkers who took over San Antonio and
prior to that game game number one.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Of the finals, which would be won by the Knickerbockers.
So the commissioner, Adam Silver, we're not sure where he's from.
And the cosmos out in the Milky Way, possibly outside
the Milky Way, proof that there are UFOs and there
are goblins from other parts of the universe. So Adam
Silver spoke and he revealed that even Michael Jordan tried
(04:37):
to help broker a peace deal between Nick's owner James
Dolan and old school Knickerbocker star Charles Oakley. And if
you didn't see it, possibly not. So Oakley has been
banned from Madison Square Garden for a number of years,
going all the way back to twenty seventeen. It was
(04:58):
one of the craziest nights we were on. He was
forcibly removed from Madison Square Garden. He was arrested, and
this thing has escalated. There's lawyers involved. It is a
long running public kerfluffle and it is a legal battle
which has been going on. So Adam Silver and Michael Jordan,
(05:20):
who played with Oakley with the Bulls, and I believe
Oakley was traded for Bill Cartwright if I remember my
old school NBA trades. Anyway, whether that's true or not,
who knows. You can just google it or ai it
or whatever the hell you do. I don't care. So anyway,
as Silver and Jordan reached out, both attempted to mediate
(05:41):
and resolve the hullabaloo with James Dolan, and Dolan said
ix nay on the piece A he said, no peace,
no peace. Oakley has attended some Knickerbocker road games recently,
but remains unwelcome at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Despite the playoff.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Run here, the Knicks now three wins away from an
NBA championship. So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question is this where are you at?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
On?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
James Dolan ignoring the commissioner, Adam Silver and Michael Jordan,
the greatest player of all time, both with a peace
offer to welcome Charles Oakley back to MSG. So I've
got my take on this. I've got residencies, cores, light
and c span and we will combine all of these
(06:36):
things together and we're gonna make you a HOGI with
the Gabba ghoul, and then we'll have a side of
the babaga, noouche and a piece of apple pie and
a piece of apple pie.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now to tip off here, it's obviously awkward. That's the
first thought. It's awkward. It's kind of like a fart
in an elevator, very awkward. Right, you look at who
did it? Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
How bad did it smell? Is it a silent assassin?
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Here's the issue though, on this one, the fart in
the elevator. Dolan created the elevator. James Dolan is a Dingleberry,
He's a Mama Luke.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And all those things.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And obviously he should not have had Charles Oakley hogtied
and carried out of Madison Square Garden by a bunch
of MSG goon security guards. Nevertheless, I actually get the
fact that Dolan has banished.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oakley at this point. Here's why Charles.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oakley, as far as I know, is still suing Dolan
and MSG. So the etiquette is rather simple. If a
guy is suing you, he's not going to come to
your arena. It's why I'm still amazed that Brian Flores,
who's in an open lawsuit against the NFL, is the
defensive coordinator for the Vikings, like it's always been my
(07:55):
entire life. The etiquette has been the decorum. If you're
in a lawsuit, you're not well welcome at the party.
You're soon like to me, that's not drama, that's just
legal hygiene. And so while Dolan's a dumb dumb I
get this one, his reputation never changes. James Dolan treats
grudges like their residencies. It's like Dolan owns the Spear
(08:19):
in Vegas or whatever it's called. And so he's like, well,
I got a residency, you can go there and do
some shows. He doesn't let these things go. He books
them and that's it. And even when the goat, the
goat Michael Jordan extends an olive branch, James Dolan says,
you know what, Mike, let me take that olive branch.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'm gonna snap that thing in half. That's what I'm
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm telling you if Gandhy, if Gandhi asked James Dolan
to squash the beef, he'd still say no, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
A fan of Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Furthermore to the spiel, now that this is all from
the state of the NBA, address prior to the nixt
winning game one of the Finals, so Adam Silver gave the.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Annual speech, drowning on all the big issues.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Silver said that he spoke a lot about the Clipper situation,
and he said the investigation into the Clippers alleged salarycap
circumvention involving Kawhi, Leonard and Aspiration is close to the
point now, he said, quote this is a quote close
to the point now where I think.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
We need to wrap this up now.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Silver he kept stressing the finality. However, he did not
offer any specific timeline. Now, there was a lot of
chatter that this thing was going to be over in February,
right around the All Star Game, and that didn't happen.
And then we got into the next month of March
and then nothing. And we went through April and no no,
(09:50):
and then we look.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
At May no bupkis squad douche. So here we are.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
We now sit here in early June. We're a month
away from July fourth, and that's where we are. That's
that's where we are. And he said the league can't
be investigating forever. You want to bet on that, and
the teams need clarity on the rules. The investigation has
been handled by an outside law firm. So outside law
(10:18):
firm began in September of last year, and they're trying
to figure out whether there was some erroneous business, some
funny business.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
On the agreement.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It was like a four year, twenty eight million dollars
I think that's what I read. Four years, twenty eight
million dollar endorsement deal for Kawhi Leonard with this environmental
startup company. This goes back to twenty twenty two, and
so the claim is that they were paying him under
the table outside of his salary.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Why can't I get that kind of deal?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And on radio, we have to take training every year
called payola training, which goes back to like the sixties
and the seventies.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Fifty years later, we still have to take payola.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I'm telling you, I don't know what's gonna happen in
the radio business, but as long as there's radio, because
of the federal laws, you got to take payola training.
And they used to pay these boss jocks back and
then the radio station's money to play their records and
that would get them up the charts, and then that's
how they music was sold in top forty and all that,
(11:21):
whatever the.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Format, but the top songs and so that's what that is,
and this would be under the table money.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now, Steve Balmer and Kawhi Leonard have said repeatedly that
there's nothing wrong. Of course they are, So the question
what is the hold up here? This is like, okay,
it's been going on. What is the hold up on
the NBA deciding the fate of the clips and Kawhi
Leonard for the alleged no show job. Maybe we all
get no show jobs. So this one, to me is
(11:50):
not that hard. It's rather simple. The NBA, I don't believe,
is truly investigating the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
They are negotiating their alibi. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I have asked a number of people who who I
have dealt with over the years who would know more
than me, and they've all kind of pointed to the
same direction here like this has been a grueling.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Nine month saga drama o rama as we like to say.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And there is still no evidence that Kawhi Leonard ever
performed any actual work for Aspiration. And yet despite that,
Adam Silver has stood at the podium here insisting the
most important thing is to get it right based on
the facts, not public perception. Now I use my malar
(12:37):
Rosetta stone, and I translated that to.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The league as desperately asking is there.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Any way we can pretend this didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
It's certainly The indication is the NBA is.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Bending over so far backward for the Clips here that
they are going to need a chiropractor.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
And here's why. And this is the the ugly truth here,
because this kind of under the table circumvention is not
just a Clipper issue.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It's apparently been going on for years from those who
I've chatted with. Its widespread, and it's just a known situation.
And the league, from what I understand, is terrified of
opening up Pandora's box because everyone knows everyone else's dirty business.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
And if they take.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
The hammer to the Clippers, and they certainly could, it's
not they're going to protect the Clippers. So if they
take the hammer to the people's team, then they started
ringing up on the the Knicks. Say what happened with that,
Jalen Brunson did. Wasn't there supposedly something under the table?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That was the rumor on the internet or the the Celtics.
I don't know about the Celtics but.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean there's a number of teams, the Miami Heat,
the Lakers, the whole freakin neighborhood. And so Steve Balmer
has denied any wrongdoing. As we said, he claims that
he was the victim. He was conned out of fifty
million dollars by this aspiration company, and he's hoping that
that excuse acts like a cores light. Silver bullet is
(14:08):
what he's hold and he hopes that's the silver bullet
and the company's co founder, if I'm not mistaken, the
guy that offered the excuse saying, hey, listen, I ripped
off Steve Balmer and all that. He was just sentenced
to fourteen years in the Gray Bar hotel by.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The FEDS for fraud.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Meanwhile, that little known podcast TOWRP, that guy who broke
the story, he's walking around with like a Pulletzer prize,
which I didn't even really give to podcasting, so I
guess I could win when I do a podcast on
the weekends.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So the facts are out, and yet the NBA is
still waiting for the smoke to clear. So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Now, if they can't come up with anything, they'll just
have to I guess punish the Clippers that'll open things up.
Last thing, we head now to Inside the Beltway follow
up follow up to a previous edition of The Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Quote politely declined close quote an invitation to testify in
front of Congress rejected. Representative Jim Jordan from the Great
State of Ohio, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,
invited Roger the Dodger Goodell, living up to his nickname,
here to a hearing that's going to take place next
(15:29):
week and less.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Than a week now for the.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Anti Trust Exemption the nineteen sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act
to determine whether that's still kosher or not with the NFL, NBA, Baseball,
and hockey, the limited anti trust exemption, which allows teams
to run like a cartel.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I often will say the cartel of football, or baseball
or basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That is why the reason I say that, for those
that don't know, is because it's literally a cartel. Like
you are allowed to operate as a cartel if you're
in the NFL, Major League Baseball, NHL, and NBA. You're
allowed to sell broadcast rights collectively as a cartel rather
than individually per team, which is the way it would
(16:14):
be if that rule did not exist. So Congress is
snooping around because of the fragmentation, the cannibalizing of broadcasts
with Netflix, Amazon and all those that don't have the
black box or the Russian websites.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And all that that. They add the law.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Abiding citizens who try to do the right thing and
pay for all this crap that's out there. So anyway,
this was promoted as a review and this meeting with Congress.
I honestly, the DOJ, Department of Justice, and the FCC
are also investigating. And Rodger Goodell's underling said he's not
(16:50):
showing up due to the ongoing litigation related to the
topic of the hearing. All right, so question Roger Goodell
readjecting an invitation from Congress, Where does this take your mind?
So the vision I have in my head is Roger
Goodell's stiff arming the DC bureaucrats. It's like the NFL
(17:13):
equivalent of walking past the velvet rope security without showing
the idea. It's a power move and it raises the stakes.
It also raises the suspicion and makes it a bigger spectacle. Like,
is he afraid of tough questions or c spam lighting?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Is that what he's afraid of now?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
As as we said in the previous episode, we talked
about this recently, the hearing, all of these hearings are
kabuki theater and Goadell just refused to audition for the
theater company. Only the NFL could look at Congress and say, yeah,
that's cute.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We're going to pass on that. We're not going there.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And big Balls Bob approves. By the way, in Vegas,
when you turn down Congress, not avoiding the room, you're
telling the room that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It needs you more than you need it. And Roger Gell,
he didn't say no. You know what Goddel did.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
He double dog dared Jim Jordan and the people in DC.
He said, write up a subpoena with a capital S.
If you want me, come and get me. And ultimately,
the NFL they always want to do things under the table,
in stealth mode lobbying.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
They want to do that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
They want to pay off politicians privately rather than have
public hearings. Because it's obviously gonna be a situation with
political grandstanding. Godel's gonna get bashed like a pinata at
a nine year old's birthday party. And so when the
toxic vapor diminishes, this ends the same way.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm not changing my position. It ends the same way.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There's envelopes, there's handshakes, there's direct deposits, there's donations, and
everyone pretends nothing happened.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
That's how this ends. It is the Bant Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We want to talk about any of that eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
nine six six three sixty nine. We have straight Ahead

Celebrity member of the Malad Militia, decorated veteran of many
battles online, Ferg Doog is in social media jail. We're

Dog out. We believe he was hit with friendly fire.

(19:39):
buried Fergie. And we're not going to stand for that
no justice, no peace. We are investigating the investigative armor
of the Malleer Militia is on that we will get

bastard that is putting our guy fer Dog in jail.

loud follow up to this this dingleberry that ran out McCourt.

Brocco fan.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I eat the rest of it and get fat and
back to it.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
So I'm getting messages that are being sent through a
message or pigeon that may or may not be Ouf
the Allen, a pinter that is apparently in contact with
Ferg Doog, so there has been some contact. I think
these are being snuck out of the prison, the cyber
prison that Fergdog is in. The latest message being forwarded
(22:47):
to me is call me a bias clip This is
from Ferg Dog.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Call me a bias clipper fan. But I believe Steve Balmer.
Is it a crime to want more trees in the world.
The only thing Bomber is guilty of is being a
really good person. Interesting, it's good take.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
That is a solid take, Freddy says. Hashtag free Ferg Dog.
Hashtag free Ferg Dog needs to happen, absolutely needs to happen,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
All right, we'll take some calls here.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And let's see who do we have your page? DN,
Let's say hello to.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Let's go to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
How you doing, Betty?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Guess what I got from one of your favorite listeners? Well,
I know who you know who sent me directly to
the Mermaid to beat you on Mermaid Night on the
Beating Green.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So I'm supposed to guess what you got. I'm gonna
go there. Guy, you got a.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Man white one all white, no emblems on it but
number one bike means and his last on the back.
But it is authentic Nike.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's that's a very nice, very sweet gift.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Although I would argue James that you at your size,
isn't he wearing number one? Then well you don't need
to promote that. But isn't his jersey number one?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Kyler Murray Ray?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Isn't the number on it?
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Is the number one?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I'm not sure I.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Understand, but my point is that when you're a big guy,
and I know this, I'm a big guy, you can't
really wear single digit numbers. James you gotta wear double digits.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You know what I mean. I mean you can wear
it's fine.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
The number.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
This number covers from chef to the bottom of the BELLI.
Speaker 1 (24:48):

yours for the heck a long time.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Mister b All right, all right, hold on, James, would
you like to be on the podcast. James, how's he going?
Is that it?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, I'll put you on hold. Cop get his number.
Maybe I'll put him on the podcast. There's no way
I could do half an hour with him, right, there's
no chance, zero chance.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Pause. I don't think he can work out the tech.
So I'll see if you can work out the tech.
Let's say hello to Paul, who's in North Carolina and
Paul is next on the Ben mal Show. Hello, Paul,
what's going on? Ben? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
He had been pleasure to be with a pledge to
be on with you. Hey, I mean you send a
people minutes ago. You don't understand why results of investigation
haven't been announced? Yes, you do.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Look at the totality of the NBA season. The season
started with what should have been one of the most
huge gambling stories in history sports, but the NBA got
pasted it and then there was a ten team scandal
or whatever. But since y'all start breaking, it's really been
nothing but positive for the NBA. So what they're gonna
do is they're gonna wait to get to the finals.
They're gonna wait to get to the NBA Draft. Don't
in the middle of the summertime the basketball's over, nobody
(26:47):
gives a damn about it. Where everybody's like towards football.
It's the middle of summer. Boom, here's the announcement. Nobody cares.
If nobody pays attention to it, and it gets up
to under the rug, whether they come out and hammer
them or whether they do nothing, it's going to be
a big story. Nobody cares, like you know exactly, but.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
They could have They could have done that.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
They could have done that in February when everyone's getting
ready for the Super Bowl and no one would have cared.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
There are times you can do it. They don't have
to wait. There's no way the law. I'm guessing this
outside law firm. They're just getting paid billable. How does
it take do you either did or you didn't do it?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's not that hard.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
There's a there's a digital paper trail. Just look at
the evidence. It shouldn't take nine months. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
No, I mean, I'm pretty convinced that I think you
should be. But this investigation has been over for a
long time. They're going to sit on it, like again,
really since February like what you said the February is
the All Star breaks. Remember all of the good publicity
that the NBA got the All Star Break. Since then
you had young stars emerged like Tom k Nipple and
Cooper Flag and there was so many intriguing stories. Why
(27:51):
why announce negativity? Sit on? They get to the middle
of summer when nobody gives him about basketball.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But well, actually, I would argue Paul that that's more
exciting when there's players changing teams than the regular season.
That that's more interesting the players changing teams.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Like that's exciting. That's like you're you're selling optimism by
the gallon. We'll see what you might be, right, Paul,
We'll see what happens. Well, we'll find out the drafts
coming up right after the finals, and then we move on.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Andrew is in Bakersfield, California. Is one of the worst
callers we have. Hello Andrew, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (28:24):

May he rest in Peak. So all right, thank you,
got speed as newest member, newest member of the Malad Militia.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
So an NFL coach freaking out over technology, Let's go
to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
We have the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
This is Ben Johnson, the head coach of the Chicago
Bears OTAs news conference. Ben Johnson was addressing the media,
and then things went sideways.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Take a listen, page, we're speaking the same language. And
that's always a good starting point.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Oh my good. Now that you've got a year under
your belt, How does it feel? How do you feel
about your position, what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Somebody want to take their phone?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Uh so he's at the news conference thing.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And I remember when this started. Back in the old days,
you had to have like an actual like cassette tape
recorder thing or a digital recorder. And then they switched
overyone records on their iPhones or whatever phone they have
mostly iPhones, and and.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
So he everyone put all the writers put their phones
up there to record the coach and they played again, Coop,
this is the coach of the Bears.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Very serious, man, Ben Johnson. Let's how upset he gets here?
This is because these people's phone. Yeah, here we go.
That's always a good starting point.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Now that you've got a year under your belt, How
does it feel? How do you feel about your position,
what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Somebody want to take their phone? That's great? Would you
not silence your notifications? Right? It's a who goofed that
I've got to know someone pretty lazy.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Well, I have exciting news. I would like to share
very exciting news here. So this guy ran out on
the court during.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
The NBA Finals game last night. We have procured the video.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
We have the video of the knucklehead that ran out
in the court during the NBA Finals game. And he
was live streaming while this was going on. Of course
he was so it's not like he just recorded on
his phone. He was live streaming, my favorite partner. So
the guy runs out to do a selfie with Victor Wembanyama.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
What do you think the problem was with this? What
do you think things went sideways? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I'll tell you this guy is probably, i don't know,
five ten something like that.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Wemby is seven foot five.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
So he tried to take a selfie with Wemby and
he just got his jersey. He didn't get his face.
What a dumb ass, What a dumb ass? He didn't
get his face. Yeah, I'll get to send you the video.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
Let's phone cut out story number one the burrito Bonanzo. Well,
this week, Chipotle Mexican Grill announced date campaign tied to
the NBA Finals, Nicks and Spurs been fifty three years
since the next one of Championship, fifty three years since
San Antonio debuted as a franchise. It's called fifty three
years fifty three Real Ingredients. They'll give away free entrees
(38:26):
to the first fifty three thousand people that text a code.
At the end of the series, it'll be revealed. Story
number two Deon Sanders coach Prime as he's known, a
Hall of Famer and still marketable. The man known as
Primetime and Prime for short, we be starring in a
series of TV commercials to promote Amazon Sale and Amazon
(38:48):
Sales met coming up on June twenty third, known as
Prime Day. And story number three benching OJ. Yeah, so
that is the goal. They usually the numbers retired. It
seems an honor, but that's not the goal of Tanya Brown,
sister of Nicole Brown Simpson. Tanya has called on the
NFL to get rid of the number thirty two since
(39:10):
it belonged to OJ Simpson, saying, every time I see
someone on the field with that number, it brings back trauma. Okay,
those are the three stories. Only one of them is
not true, So you have to separate fiction from fact,
and let's go to Milkman, Mike or Anthony Louisiana one
tour three.
Speaker 7 (39:29):

and a half.
Speaker 8 (40:18):
Number three.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
All right, Well, much like your picks, Poppy, you got
it wrong, the fake story. Many people did get it right.
It is number due number two. That's the Dion Sanders story.
That is not true. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
I'm getting the number thirty two ban. I'm sure that
all these sports leagues so certainly in the NFL will
ban the number thirty two unless they don't unless they don't,
Razzle dazzle time. It's like an acid trip. I'm told
it's our nubberfall.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah, we're just scratching the service here on the Ben
Mather Show, our number four.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Where are you at?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
On Owner James Dolan, that's the Knicks owner ignoring Adam
Silver and Michael Jordan's peace offering to welcome Charles Oakley
back to Madison Square Garden. Also, what is the hold
up on the NBA to ciding the fate of the
Clippers over Kawhi Leonards alleged no show job. Got an
(00:35):
update from Adam Silver on that. And in football, Roger
Goodell is rejecting Washington, DC, was invited by Congress and
he's not gonna show up. He says, where does that
take your mind? We'll go there and who knows where else.
Settle in and squirm like a worm. It's our number
(00:59):
four the Ben ma Show.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Have a great day.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Well, it is all about the air up there.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
It's all about the air up there.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Welcome in the beginning of another.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Hour of the Ben Malor Show.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
We are in the air em reware as friends as

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Am monating live.

Radio studios, where our friend Matt the special head teacher
from Salisbury, Mass reminds us. This hour made possible by

is from pro Bouncy Vault, not the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
They did play the NBA.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Finals last night and the San Antonio Spurs played like
choking dogs.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
They w a fourteen point lead in the third.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Quarter, got outscored by twenty four points over the final
eighteen and a half minutes of the game. He shot
thirty three point three percent the final eighteen minutes of
the game. Eighteen and a half minutes of the game
half the sign of the Devil. Wemby had a bad game.
He's very confident. What is he supposed to not be confident?
(03:40):
We had a fan run out on the court trying
to get social media clout.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
We have more on that.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We'll tell you about it coming up a little bit
later in the hour, So well you'll want to hear that.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
The update. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
The update on this Jabbroni that ran out in the court,
as Tony Bruno would say, a strapper, Well what happened him?
Speaker 1 (04:01):
But our lead, though, is from the Peace Talks yeah,
so the New Yorkers who took over San Antonio and
prior to that game game number one.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Of the finals, which would be won by the Knickerbockers.
So the commissioner, Adam Silver, we're not sure where he's from.
And the cosmos out in the Milky Way, possibly outside
the Milky Way, proof that there are UFOs and there
are goblins from other parts of the universe. So Adam
Silver spoke and he revealed that even Michael Jordan tried
(04:37):
to help broker a peace deal between Nick's owner James
Dolan and old school Knickerbocker star Charles Oakley. And if
you didn't see it, possibly not. So Oakley has been
banned from Madison Square Garden for a number of years,
going all the way back to twenty seventeen. It was
(04:58):
one of the craziest nights we were on. He was
forcibly removed from Madison Square Garden. He was arrested, and
this thing has escalated. There's lawyers involved. It is a
long running public kerfluffle and it is a legal battle
which has been going on. So Adam Silver and Michael Jordan,
(05:20):
who played with Oakley with the Bulls, and I believe
Oakley was traded for Bill Cartwright if I remember my
old school NBA trades. Anyway, whether that's true or not,
who knows. You can just google it or ai it
or whatever the hell you do. I don't care. So anyway,
as Silver and Jordan reached out, both attempted to mediate
(05:41):
and resolve the hullabaloo with James Dolan, and Dolan said
ix nay on the piece A he said, no peace,
no peace. Oakley has attended some Knickerbocker road games recently,
but remains unwelcome at the Garden.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Despite the playoff.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Run here, the Knicks now three wins away from an
NBA championship. So that is a good jumping off point.
Let us discuss the question is this where are you at?
Speaker 4 (06:13):
On?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
James Dolan ignoring the commissioner, Adam Silver and Michael Jordan,
the greatest player of all time, both with a peace
offer to welcome Charles Oakley back to MSG. So I've
got my take on this. I've got residencies, cores, light
and c span and we will combine all of these
(06:36):
things together and we're gonna make you a HOGI with
the Gabba ghoul, and then we'll have a side of
the babaga, noouche and a piece of apple pie and
a piece of apple pie.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now to tip off here, it's obviously awkward. That's the
first thought. It's awkward. It's kind of like a fart
in an elevator, very awkward. Right, you look at who
did it? Okay?
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:56):
How bad did it smell? Is it a silent assassin?
You don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Here's the issue though, on this one, the fart in
the elevator. Dolan created the elevator. James Dolan is a Dingleberry,
He's a Mama Luke.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
And all those things.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
And obviously he should not have had Charles Oakley hogtied
and carried out of Madison Square Garden by a bunch
of MSG goon security guards. Nevertheless, I actually get the
fact that Dolan has banished.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Oakley at this point. Here's why Charles.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Oakley, as far as I know, is still suing Dolan
and MSG. So the etiquette is rather simple. If a
guy is suing you, he's not going to come to
your arena. It's why I'm still amazed that Brian Flores,
who's in an open lawsuit against the NFL, is the
defensive coordinator for the Vikings, like it's always been my
(07:55):
entire life. The etiquette has been the decorum. If you're
in a lawsuit, you're not well welcome at the party.
You're soon like to me, that's not drama, that's just
legal hygiene. And so while Dolan's a dumb dumb I
get this one, his reputation never changes. James Dolan treats
grudges like their residencies. It's like Dolan owns the Spear
(08:19):
in Vegas or whatever it's called. And so he's like, well,
I got a residency, you can go there and do
some shows. He doesn't let these things go. He books
them and that's it. And even when the goat, the
goat Michael Jordan extends an olive branch, James Dolan says,
you know what, Mike, let me take that olive branch.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I'm gonna snap that thing in half. That's what I'm
gonna do.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I'm telling you if Gandhy, if Gandhi asked James Dolan
to squash the beef, he'd still say no, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
A fan of Gandhi.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Furthermore to the spiel, now that this is all from
the state of the NBA, address prior to the nixt
winning game one of the Finals, so Adam Silver gave the.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Annual speech, drowning on all the big issues.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Silver said that he spoke a lot about the Clipper situation,
and he said the investigation into the Clippers alleged salarycap
circumvention involving Kawhi, Leonard and Aspiration is close to the
point now, he said, quote this is a quote close
to the point now where I think.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
We need to wrap this up now.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Silver he kept stressing the finality. However, he did not
offer any specific timeline. Now, there was a lot of
chatter that this thing was going to be over in February,
right around the All Star Game, and that didn't happen.
And then we got into the next month of March
and then nothing. And we went through April and no no,
(09:50):
and then we look.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
At May no bupkis squad douche. So here we are.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
We now sit here in early June. We're a month
away from July fourth, and that's where we are. That's
that's where we are. And he said the league can't
be investigating forever. You want to bet on that, and
the teams need clarity on the rules. The investigation has
been handled by an outside law firm. So outside law
(10:18):
firm began in September of last year, and they're trying
to figure out whether there was some erroneous business, some
funny business.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
On the agreement.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
It was like a four year, twenty eight million dollars
I think that's what I read. Four years, twenty eight
million dollar endorsement deal for Kawhi Leonard with this environmental
startup company. This goes back to twenty twenty two, and
so the claim is that they were paying him under
the table outside of his salary.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Why can't I get that kind of deal?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And on radio, we have to take training every year
called payola training, which goes back to like the sixties
and the seventies.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Fifty years later, we still have to take payola.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
I'm telling you, I don't know what's gonna happen in
the radio business, but as long as there's radio, because
of the federal laws, you got to take payola training.
And they used to pay these boss jocks back and
then the radio station's money to play their records and
that would get them up the charts, and then that's
how they music was sold in top forty and all that,
(11:21):
whatever the.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Format, but the top songs and so that's what that is,
and this would be under the table money.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Now, Steve Balmer and Kawhi Leonard have said repeatedly that
there's nothing wrong. Of course they are, So the question
what is the hold up here? This is like, okay,
it's been going on. What is the hold up on
the NBA deciding the fate of the clips and Kawhi
Leonard for the alleged no show job. Maybe we all
get no show jobs. So this one, to me is
(11:50):
not that hard. It's rather simple. The NBA, I don't believe,
is truly investigating the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
They are negotiating their alibi. Now.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
I have asked a number of people who who I
have dealt with over the years who would know more
than me, and they've all kind of pointed to the
same direction here like this has been a grueling.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Nine month saga drama o rama as we like to say.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And there is still no evidence that Kawhi Leonard ever
performed any actual work for Aspiration. And yet despite that,
Adam Silver has stood at the podium here insisting the
most important thing is to get it right based on
the facts, not public perception. Now I use my malar
(12:37):
Rosetta stone, and I translated that to.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
The league as desperately asking is there.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Any way we can pretend this didn't happen?
Speaker 1 (12:48):
It's certainly The indication is the NBA is.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Bending over so far backward for the Clips here that
they are going to need a chiropractor.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
And here's why. And this is the the ugly truth here,
because this kind of under the table circumvention is not
just a Clipper issue.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
It's apparently been going on for years from those who
I've chatted with. Its widespread, and it's just a known situation.
And the league, from what I understand, is terrified of
opening up Pandora's box because everyone knows everyone else's dirty business.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
And if they take.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
The hammer to the Clippers, and they certainly could, it's
not they're going to protect the Clippers. So if they
take the hammer to the people's team, then they started
ringing up on the the Knicks. Say what happened with that,
Jalen Brunson did. Wasn't there supposedly something under the table?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
That was the rumor on the internet or the the Celtics.
I don't know about the Celtics but.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
I mean there's a number of teams, the Miami Heat,
the Lakers, the whole freakin neighborhood. And so Steve Balmer
has denied any wrongdoing. As we said, he claims that
he was the victim. He was conned out of fifty
million dollars by this aspiration company, and he's hoping that
that excuse acts like a cores light. Silver bullet is
(14:08):
what he's hold and he hopes that's the silver bullet
and the company's co founder, if I'm not mistaken, the
guy that offered the excuse saying, hey, listen, I ripped
off Steve Balmer and all that. He was just sentenced
to fourteen years in the Gray Bar hotel by.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
The FEDS for fraud.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Meanwhile, that little known podcast TOWRP, that guy who broke
the story, he's walking around with like a Pulletzer prize,
which I didn't even really give to podcasting, so I
guess I could win when I do a podcast on
the weekends.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
So the facts are out, and yet the NBA is
still waiting for the smoke to clear. So we'll see.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Now, if they can't come up with anything, they'll just
have to I guess punish the Clippers that'll open things up.
Last thing, we head now to Inside the Beltway follow
up follow up to a previous edition of The Ben
Maler Show.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Quote politely declined close quote an invitation to testify in
front of Congress rejected. Representative Jim Jordan from the Great
State of Ohio, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee,
invited Roger the Dodger Goodell, living up to his nickname,
here to a hearing that's going to take place next
(15:29):
week and less.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Than a week now for the.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Anti Trust Exemption the nineteen sixty one Sports Broadcasting Act
to determine whether that's still kosher or not with the NFL, NBA, Baseball,
and hockey, the limited anti trust exemption, which allows teams
to run like a cartel.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I often will say the cartel of football, or baseball
or basketball.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That is why the reason I say that, for those
that don't know, is because it's literally a cartel. Like
you are allowed to operate as a cartel if you're
in the NFL, Major League Baseball, NHL, and NBA. You're
allowed to sell broadcast rights collectively as a cartel rather
than individually per team, which is the way it would
(16:14):
be if that rule did not exist. So Congress is
snooping around because of the fragmentation, the cannibalizing of broadcasts
with Netflix, Amazon and all those that don't have the
black box or the Russian websites.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
And all that that. They add the law.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Abiding citizens who try to do the right thing and
pay for all this crap that's out there. So anyway,
this was promoted as a review and this meeting with Congress.
I honestly, the DOJ, Department of Justice, and the FCC
are also investigating. And Rodger Goodell's underling said he's not
(16:50):
showing up due to the ongoing litigation related to the
topic of the hearing. All right, so question Roger Goodell
readjecting an invitation from Congress, Where does this take your mind?
So the vision I have in my head is Roger
Goodell's stiff arming the DC bureaucrats. It's like the NFL
(17:13):
equivalent of walking past the velvet rope security without showing
the idea. It's a power move and it raises the stakes.
It also raises the suspicion and makes it a bigger spectacle. Like,
is he afraid of tough questions or c spam lighting?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Is that what he's afraid of now?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
As as we said in the previous episode, we talked
about this recently, the hearing, all of these hearings are
kabuki theater and Goadell just refused to audition for the
theater company. Only the NFL could look at Congress and say, yeah,
that's cute.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
We're going to pass on that. We're not going there.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
And big Balls Bob approves. By the way, in Vegas,
when you turn down Congress, not avoiding the room, you're
telling the room that.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
It needs you more than you need it. And Roger Gell,
he didn't say no. You know what Goddel did.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
He double dog dared Jim Jordan and the people in DC.
He said, write up a subpoena with a capital S.
If you want me, come and get me. And ultimately,
the NFL they always want to do things under the table,
in stealth mode lobbying.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
They want to do that.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
They want to pay off politicians privately rather than have
public hearings. Because it's obviously gonna be a situation with
political grandstanding. Godel's gonna get bashed like a pinata at
a nine year old's birthday party. And so when the
toxic vapor diminishes, this ends the same way.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
I'm not changing my position. It ends the same way.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
There's envelopes, there's handshakes, there's direct deposits, there's donations, and
everyone pretends nothing happened.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
That's how this ends. It is the Bant Malor Show.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
We want to talk about any of that eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine
nine six six three sixty nine. We have straight Ahead
on X at Ben Mahler if you want to send

Celebrity member of the Malad Militia, decorated veteran of many
battles online, Ferg Doog is in social media jail. We're
trying to bail him out. We're trying to bail Ferg
Dog out. We believe he was hit with friendly fire.
We believe another member of the Malad militia is so
frickin jealous of the celebrity of Ferg Dog that they
(19:39):
buried Fergie. And we're not going to stand for that
no justice, no peace. We are investigating the investigative armor
of the Malleer Militia is on that we will get
to the bottom of it. We find out, we will
have the kangaroo court decide what happens to that evil
bastard that is putting our guy fer Dog in jail.
So straight ahead, we we also are a follow up
(20:00):
to there was a fan that ran out in McCourt
and there's a hilarious follow up to this, laugh out
loud follow up to this this dingleberry that ran out McCourt.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
During the Spurs Knicks game in San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
And an NFL coach freaking out over tech.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
What hour is it? Though I don't know what hour

Ferg Dog is the banned. A coop is not.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
You can find coop at a Bronco fan. That's a
Brocco fan.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I eat the rest of it and get fat and
back to it.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
So I'm getting messages that are being sent through a
message or pigeon that may or may not be Ouf
the Allen, a pinter that is apparently in contact with
Ferg Doog, so there has been some contact. I think
these are being snuck out of the prison, the cyber
prison that Fergdog is in. The latest message being forwarded
(22:47):
to me is call me a bias clip This is
from Ferg Dog.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Call me a bias clipper fan. But I believe Steve Balmer.
Is it a crime to want more trees in the world.
The only thing Bomber is guilty of is being a
really good person. Interesting, it's good take.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
That is a solid take, Freddy says. Hashtag free Ferg Dog.
Hashtag free Ferg Dog needs to happen, absolutely needs to happen,
one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
All right, we'll take some calls here.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is the number
eight seven seven nine nine six six three six nine.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
And let's see who do we have your page? DN,
Let's say hello to.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Let's go to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hello, hollering James.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
How you doing, Betty?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
Guess what I got from one of your favorite listeners? Well,
I know who you know who sent me directly to
the Mermaid to beat you on Mermaid Night on the
Beating Green.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
So I'm supposed to guess what you got. I'm gonna
go there. Guy, you got a.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
Man white one all white, no emblems on it but
number one bike means and his last on the back.
But it is authentic Nike.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
That's that's a very nice, very sweet gift.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Although I would argue James that you at your size,
isn't he wearing number one? Then well you don't need
to promote that. But isn't his jersey number one?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Kyler Murray Ray?
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Isn't the number on it?
Speaker 8 (24:28):
Is the number one?
Speaker 7 (24:29):
I'm not sure I.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Understand, but my point is that when you're a big guy,
and I know this, I'm a big guy, you can't
really wear single digit numbers. James you gotta wear double digits.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
You know what I mean. I mean you can wear
it's fine.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
The number.
Speaker 7 (24:44):
This number covers from chef to the bottom of the BELLI.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Yeah, okay, well that's a big belly. That's old.
Speaker 6 (24:53):
Hold that too.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
I don't know what you said.
Speaker 7 (25:00):
Well, we be taking my calls. I'm like hot topics
about like.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Jeeves, James. How many years you call the show, James
and we go, we go way back.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
I've had like, I've had like four board ops since
you start calling every day you are, You're here every
day so much.
Speaker 7 (25:18):
I annoyed Coop.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Now Coople loves you. He gets upset when you don't call. Coop,
says my boy.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I wish James was online. I really loved taking calls
from hollering James. It's the highlight of my night.
Speaker 7 (25:29):
Hey, you know, I got a lot of I got
a lot of guys out there. I like, you know
a lot of ladies out there that like me now
from your show.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah, I know you're a big, big, popular player.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
Yeah, I'm just a friend. I've been a friend of
yours for the heck a long time.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Mister b All right, all right, hold on, James, would
you like to be on the podcast. James, how's he going?
Is that it?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Okay, I'll put you on hold. Cop get his number.
Maybe I'll put him on the podcast. There's no way
I could do half an hour with him, right, there's
no chance, zero chance.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Pause. I don't think he can work out the tech.
So I'll see if you can work out the tech.
Let's say hello to Paul, who's in North Carolina and
Paul is next on the Ben mal Show. Hello, Paul,
what's going on? Ben? Welcome?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
He had been pleasure to be with a pledge to
be on with you. Hey, I mean you send a
people minutes ago. You don't understand why results of investigation
haven't been announced? Yes, you do.
Speaker 7 (26:24):
Ben.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
Look at the totality of the NBA season. The season
started with what should have been one of the most
huge gambling stories in history sports, but the NBA got
pasted it and then there was a ten team scandal
or whatever. But since y'all start breaking, it's really been
nothing but positive for the NBA. So what they're gonna
do is they're gonna wait to get to the finals.
They're gonna wait to get to the NBA Draft. Don't
in the middle of the summertime the basketball's over, nobody
(26:47):
gives a damn about it. Where everybody's like towards football.
It's the middle of summer. Boom, here's the announcement. Nobody cares.
If nobody pays attention to it, and it gets up
to under the rug, whether they come out and hammer
them or whether they do nothing, it's going to be
a big story. Nobody cares, like you know exactly, but.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
They could have They could have done that.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
They could have done that in February when everyone's getting
ready for the Super Bowl and no one would have cared.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
There are times you can do it. They don't have
to wait. There's no way the law. I'm guessing this
outside law firm. They're just getting paid billable. How does
it take do you either did or you didn't do it?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
It's not that hard.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
There's a there's a digital paper trail. Just look at
the evidence. It shouldn't take nine months. It's ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
No, I mean, I'm pretty convinced that I think you
should be. But this investigation has been over for a
long time. They're going to sit on it, like again,
really since February like what you said the February is
the All Star breaks. Remember all of the good publicity
that the NBA got the All Star Break. Since then
you had young stars emerged like Tom k Nipple and
Cooper Flag and there was so many intriguing stories. Why
(27:51):
why announce negativity? Sit on? They get to the middle
of summer when nobody gives him about basketball.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
But well, actually, I would argue Paul that that's more
exciting when there's players changing teams than the regular season.
That that's more interesting the players changing teams.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Like that's exciting. That's like you're you're selling optimism by
the gallon. We'll see what you might be, right, Paul,
We'll see what happens. Well, we'll find out the drafts
coming up right after the finals, and then we move on.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Andrew is in Bakersfield, California. Is one of the worst
callers we have. Hello Andrew, Welcome.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Hello Ben. I'd like to take the oaths please, I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
You don't you don't want to take the oath? You don't.
You screwed it up. Didn't we do this before and
you screwed it up?
Speaker 5 (28:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (28:37):
I feel like we did. I feel like, yeah, you're
gonna You're gonna up your time. This is you're gonna
do shtick. And I know how this works. You're gonna
do shtick, You're.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
Gonna mispronounce things, You're gonna f up the show, you know, Yes,
I absolutely I would be shocked.
Speaker 1 (28:52):

Should I give this guy a chance? Lorena? Well, I suppose.
Oh my god, you're such a softie. Come on, they
got to toughen you up. It's wrong with you, Lorena.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
He seems sincere Ben, he does not know he's he's
a connard, he's a buffore.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Why did you sound so desperate? That sounded desperate? All right,
I will I will try.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
If you ever round, I will kill you, not literally,
of course, radio radio wise. Yes, all right, let's here

little joke. It's all over your stand. Yes, okay, repeat
after me. I state your name, I Andrew do solemnly swear,
(29:52):
do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the
Ben Mallor Show, that.
Speaker 5 (29:59):

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Why'd you clear your throat? What's that about?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Well? I want to be I want to be clear.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Against all enemies, against all enemies, foreign and domestic, foreign
and domestic, and that I will obey the orders, and.

Back, to peacefully fight back.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Against hostile attacks and rival sports gas bags and blowhearts.
Speaker 5 (30:42):
Against hostile attacks of rival sports, gas bags and blowhearts.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
So help me, God, So help me God.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Andrew, by the power is vested in me by no
one other than the state of the Bend mal Show,
I now pronounce you a sworn member of the Mallad Militia. Congratulations,
do not f this up. We can take these powers
away from you. Do not f these up. Continued terrible calls.
We honor Skeeter and Montana, the man that called up
years ago and said we need an oath, I want
to be sworn in.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
And so we made that oath for Skeeter in Montana.
May he rest in Peak. So all right, thank you,
got speed as newest member, newest member of the Malad Militia.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
So an NFL coach freaking out over technology, Let's go
to Chicago.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
We have the audio tape.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
This is Ben Johnson, the head coach of the Chicago
Bears OTAs news conference. Ben Johnson was addressing the media,
and then things went sideways.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Take a listen, page, we're speaking the same language. And
that's always a good starting point.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Oh my good. Now that you've got a year under
your belt, How does it feel? How do you feel
about your position, what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Somebody want to take their phone?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Uh so he's at the news conference thing.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And I remember when this started. Back in the old days,
you had to have like an actual like cassette tape
recorder thing or a digital recorder. And then they switched
overyone records on their iPhones or whatever phone they have
mostly iPhones, and and.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
So he everyone put all the writers put their phones
up there to record the coach and they played again, Coop,
this is the coach of the Bears.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Very serious, man, Ben Johnson. Let's how upset he gets here?
This is because these people's phone. Yeah, here we go.
That's always a good starting point.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
Now that you've got a year under your belt, How
does it feel? How do you feel about your position,
what you're doing?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Somebody want to take their phone? That's great? Would you
not silence your notifications? Right? It's a who goofed that
I've got to know someone pretty lazy.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Well, I have exciting news. I would like to share
very exciting news here. So this guy ran out on
the court during.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
The NBA Finals game last night. We have procured the video.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
We have the video of the knucklehead that ran out
in the court during the NBA Finals game. And he
was live streaming while this was going on. Of course
he was so it's not like he just recorded on
his phone. He was live streaming, my favorite partner. So
the guy runs out to do a selfie with Victor Wembanyama.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
What do you think the problem was with this? What
do you think things went sideways? What do you think?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
I'll tell you this guy is probably, i don't know,
five ten something like that.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Wemby is seven foot five.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
So he tried to take a selfie with Wemby and
he just got his jersey. He didn't get his face.
What a dumb ass, What a dumb ass? He didn't
get his face. Yeah, I'll get to send you the video.
It's pretty that's pretty good. That is outstanding. So I
(34:12):
hope you got a lot of clicks. You know, that's
all about getting in the algorithm. You know this guy.
What are you famous for? Well, I'm famous. I ran
out in the court. I got a photo of Wemby
in his jersey without his face. That's that is the
way to go. That is the way to go.
