Speaker 1 (00:00):
Calling an audible in our number fo our number four?
Do you buy or sell Jason Kidd being interested in
the Knickerbocker's coaching job, his name being floated by just
about everyone in that sport. Also, we read that Air
and Rogers was the third choice for the Steelers, after
(00:20):
Matthew Stafford and Justin Fields.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Do you believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
An NHL commissioner Gary Bettman called Paul Bisonette's concerns about
the NHL and Florida's lack of a state tax quote ridiculous.
Do you agree with the commissioner or not? We'll get
to all of that and more right now here. It
is our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. You
(00:48):
gotta be kidding, You can't be serious.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Wel come, In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Maler Show, we are in the air e freeware
audio dwellers, as we gnaw away at the darkness, coast
to coast, voter to border and beyond on the vast
and blow tortally powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
(01:19):
the Whirlwind, the Whirlwind of Whispers, joined by the drifters
from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by not
a Burner, he approves it. And this portion of the
Ben Maler Show made possible in part by our friends
at tire Rack.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
That's right, Scrooge. For forty years, tire Rack.

what and where they drive, ship fast and freeback by

Show be so our lead.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
This hour is from the the wacky, wacky world of
the End. Be a well, let me explain.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
There was no game last night, but pro bouncy balls
where we're going to be now. The finals are on sabbatical.
You know, we do not want our NBA players to
be injured. We need them to have a lot of
time off. Really grueling to play forty eight minutes over
two and a half hours and not play all forty
eight minutes very difficult work. It is one of the
(02:30):
hardest jobs you can physically have. The demand to play
once every couple of days just too much. So we
start in Gotham, filling the void, filling the void.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The gossip.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's all about the gossip. So this story has been
bouncing around. We will attempt to tackle it. We have
learned that there is mutual interest on behalf of the
Knickerbockers as well as Maverick leader Jason Kidd, the vacant
head coaching j After Tom Thibodeau was whacked as coach,
(03:03):
he was poll Axe said bye bye. So let us
discuss the question. You're gonna buy or sell? Buy or sell?
Jason Kidd being interested in the Knickerbockers coaching job, you
know a buy or sell. So I've got floor in decor, cotton, candy,
and chainsaw, and we will combine these things together and
(03:26):
we are going to make the gobbagool. We're gonna make
the gobbagool. So to lead off here, I am going
to buy this. I am going to buy the Jason
Kidd and the Knickerbockers are playing foot see and there's
a public courtship that's going on right now. Jason Kidd
had the rug pulled out from underneath him when the
(03:49):
very shady deal happened, where it was not like a
trade is where you get something that is as good as.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
What you gave up.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No one who knows basketball believes Anthony Davis, who gets
hurt when he gets out of bed in the morning,
is an equal to what the Mavericks traded in Luca.
So they dumped Luca for a bag of stale bread,
not slice bread, stale bread. And while having Jason Kidd
as the face of the Mavericks. So he was out
(04:19):
there because Nico Harrison wasn't hiding. He was in the
fetal position, sucking his thumb. So Jason Kidd was the
one that had to go in the front and he
had to take the shrapnel for that trade.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And it would make sense.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Jason Kidd his entire time as a coach has been
a cof. Now what is a cof that would be
a coach of fortune as he bounces around the NBA
from team because he now most coaches are like this,
but Jason Kidd has coached.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Seven hundred games over seven.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Hundred games now in the in the NBA, he started
out with the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
He was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And then he he got whacked from that job, and
then a couple years later he took the job in Dallas.
So when you have Jason Kidd, it's like a trip
to floor and decor, and you're buying the carpet because
he's a carpet bagger. Jason Kidd is a carpetbagger that
the Knicks are gonna pay him more than the Mavericks are.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And that's a better roster. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Now, who knows what's gonna happen in the offseason on
but right now, we do the show today, and right
now the team has a better roster in New York
and they're in the Eastern Conference, and there's less good
teams in the Eastern Conference, so you're just better off there,
right And in Dallas, you'd have to coach the fragility
of Anthony Davis, very fragile, and the ticking time bomb
(05:46):
of Uncle Drew Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He's been on his best behavior here, however, how long
will that last?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's been a little bit. At any moment, come boom
with Kyrie. Then you have the wild card, Cooper Flack.
Do the Dallas Mavericks draft the prodigy from Maine who
went to college at.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Duke or do they trade the pick? And who do
they trade the pick for? What do they get? And
those are all answered question, But I'd buy the story.
It's out there.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
It's been bouncing around, and so normally the way these
things work in the NBA, with rare exceptions like the
Luca trade, these things are floated la la la la,
la la la, and then they floated for a couple
of days, and then eventually eventually they have Now furthermore,
we go, we switch sports, We go to Pittsburgh, the
land of the insert follow up to the follow up,
(06:36):
follow up to the follow up. Aaron Rogers, yet again
filling the content machine. We read that Aaron Rodgers, it
turns out, was not the first choice. He was not
the second choice.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Wouldn't you believe Aaron Rodgers was the third choice, number
three for the Pittsburgh football team, behind Matthew Stafford and
Justin Fields. Believe it or not. Again, that's the story
that's bouncing around, that the Steelers actually wanted two other
(07:08):
quarterbacks and then they settled for Aaron Rodgers. Believe it
or not.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So after a minutes long deliberation, including all the available evidence,
all of it, I am not a believer.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I am not.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I am agnostic on this. And this is what's called
the cotton Candy Store. Somebody's delivering the cotton candy trying
to pump up Justin Fields. That's the first thing, is
like Justin Field sucks. He sucked for the Bears, he
was crap for the Steelers. He'll be terrible for the Jets,
because that's what he is. He's a bad quarterback, but
he's got high upside and he's really good at those highlights,
(07:44):
those highlights on social media. He looks great watching a
real game. Not so good anyway. So you've got that.
But it's also more than just praising Justin Fields. It's
a shot. It's a poke the bear, or in this case,
poke the quarterback situation in Aaron Rodgers. It's an insult.
It's an insult to Aaron Rodgers, an absolute insult. Painting
(08:06):
the picture here that they backed into Aaron Rodgers like
he was like, you're at the bar and it's closing time,
and there's one woman left. You're like, oh, well, I
really might type, but you know it's closing time. And
so now, Aaron Rodgers, we needed a quarterback. Nobody else
wanted to hang out with us, and so the bar
is closing, so well, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Fine fight.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Matthew Stafford was not gonna leave the Rams to go
to a worst team and live in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You can ram it all day, you can ram it
all night, but you can't ram it in Pittsburgh. And
he was never, never, ever.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Even in that maybe like one conversation, never in that
deep with a series.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And then Justin Fields. Does anyone believe there's even a
grain of truth in Justin Fields?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Are you that stupid? Let's go back to last season?
So Justin Fields took over at the beginning, played a while.
It was not that great, it was average, and then
Russell Wilson took over and he was fine for a
little bit, and then he started writing the viobbit comet
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And at no time, at.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
No time did the coaching staff, at no time to
the front office say let's go back to Justin.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fields because that's our guy. They didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
They knew going into a playoff game that Russell Wilson
was cooked, that he couldn't play anymore. They still played him.
And so we're supposed to believe that they wanted to
bring back Justin Fields, that that was the guy. Come on,
I mean, are you that naive? Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Anyway, Now the last thing I love this story got
some audio I want to play for you. So it
involves the taxman during the Stanley Cup final game on Turner.
We saw the game last night, which was not much
of a game. Florida dominated. They led from pillar to post,
so it's two to one Panthers over the Edmonton Oilers.
(10:09):
But this is not about that. Instead, it's a brew
haha that happened on television. You've got that Weasley commissioner,
Gary Bettman, the NHL commissioner, who popped up on the
TNT Hockey Studio show. So they had this little hockey
studio situation and things got a bit.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He did not I don't want to make this too dramatic.
It was not a Shakespearean drama, so it wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But during this situation you got Gary Bettman get into
it with Paul Bissonett, one of the panelists on TNT,
and he had shared his opinion on the fact that
the Florida Panthers are unfairly benefiting from the fact that
the politicians in Florida do not stick it to the
(10:57):
citizens of Florida like they do in California and other
places with the high taxation, which is obscene in most
of these places. So that was his points. They listen,
played for Florida. It's a good team, and you get
to keep more of your money, which seems pretty obvious
that if things were equal, why wouldn't you rather go there?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Like, it's just obvious that that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, the question was posed to Gary Bettman and he
gave a very wordy rebuttal take go listen any plans maybe.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
In the future to implement a balance as far as
the no state tax and now you know where you stop.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's a ridiculous issue.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
When when the Florida teams weren't good, which was for
about seventeen years, okay, nobody said anything about it.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And you know, for those of you.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Who played, okay, were you sitting there with the tax table. No,
you wanted to go to a good organization in a
place where you wanted to live, where you wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To raise your kids and send them to school.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
You want to to play in a first class arena,
with a first class training facility, with an owner an organization,
a GM and a coach that you were comfortable with,
and you wanted.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
To have good teammates, so you'd have a shot at winning.
That's what motivates it.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Could it be a little bit of a factor if
everything else were equal, I suppose, but that's not it.
And by the way, state taxes high in Los Angeles,
high in New York. What are we gonna do subsidize
those teams?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So that was the long answer, lee long winning answer
from the Commissioner of Hockey.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
So we'll sum it up like this. The NHL chemists.
You just heard it.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Gary Bettman calling Paul Bisonette's concerned about the advantage that
the Florida teams have with the tax situation.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He said, it was ridiculous. Do you agree? All right?
So I'm going to disagree on this. This is a disagreement.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And I heard it, I watched it, and this is
classic sugarcoating by Gary Betty. He wants to protect the image,
the illusion of the parody and all that stuff. And
even if it's just an illusion when kind of advocated,
because a lot of people don't dig that deep, they
don't get in the weeds and whatnot. And Betman, at
(13:14):
this point he has been a corporate weasel, an empty
suit for how long. I mean, my god, he was
an assistant for David Stern, who was the NBA commissioner
when the Hockey League hired him. The NHL hired him,
and he's still there after all these years being you know,
Sterns died and he's lost left the commissioner in the NBA,
and Gary Betman is still plugging along here.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And it's like, yeah, you know, he spent so much
time in boardrooms in Manhattan, and he's just I know
what he's doing. I get it. I don't agree with
his position on this.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
There is a reason that Gary Bettman when he makes
an appearance in public, he gets booed like it's it's
like if they put nickelback up at a Metallica concert,
how much they would be booed?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Or you know, some some boy band or something. So
now let me explain. I'm gonna explain this like you're
a child, Okay, like you're in kindergarten.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm gonna explain it.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
In Florida, there is no state income tax in California,
and in New York if you happen to play for
one of the teams there, those guys get their paychecks
and uncle Sam comes over and he's got a chainsaw
and he stops, he starts chopping away at the money.
That's their money, right, that's their money. Now you don't
(14:34):
think that matters. These are millions of dollars if you're
playing over a period of time in hockey, and so
you can do the same exact job in the same business. Right,
you get paid less if you're in a state with
the taxes. So the politicians, like in California, if you
(14:57):
play for the La Kings, you're getting tax so they
can spend money to repurchase cop cars that were burned
up in the rioting the other day. Right, they had
to read cop A bunch of cars got so you
got to buy those and and so it's but it's
simple math, like the tax breaks sweeten the deal. And
to think that that's not a fact, that's ridiculous. Now
(15:19):
you're being ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
It absolutely And who cares what happened for seventeen years
ago or whatever, I mean, who cares.
Speaker 1 (15:28):

Speaker 9 (17:39):
Your prediction is going to get a little shaky, but
it's okay. You know.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
You know what with the oil is they always come up

your staff is looking at you. What's the Richmond oilers?
It's a movie. Google it. It's called Coach Carter. Google it.
It'll take you from there. Now you see ed match
and we got them mentally whipped already.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
They're trying to fight a team that we.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Got the goons. We got the team to tell it.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
In the bus.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You want to take it there? Everything, Well, you saw
what happened tonight. You're gonna lose six to one every game.
Not my problem. You want to play hockey or play hockey,
We'll just beat you respectfully. You want to take it there,
We'll embarrassed nationwide, you know. And I'm tired of this.
I'm not going to mention the station that game comes on.
What's Wayne Gretsky? What's he doing there? I want to
see a former Florida panther.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
He gets a Florida panther.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yes, that's where the American people need, a former Florida panther.
That's that's absolutely who cares Number ninety nine Edminton oiler Jellen, No, we.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Don't need that guy, No, we need who exactly should
we here? What?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
What great Florida I got to hear this? What Florida
panther legends should we have?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh we could go away Van Beesbrook.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And screw Lynn the beezer. We need the beezer. Put
the beezer on there, Come on.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
What's gressie brigand look like they didn't put no makeup
on him? Put some makeup on that man. That man
looked at lost and confused me.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Some teams that are realistic.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Give me some teams that occurred, give me some analysis
that occurred. I got something.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, I am glad. Listen, I'm happy this. Let me
tell you. I'm sure why, Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I'm happy that your phone was fixed because it didn't
work when they lost the Game one.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It did not work.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
But now it should win. It was a constellation win. Man.
I could have called you last year when I said
nor I'm gonna live Ben talking about his oilers and
now the sequel to Oilers. I took a good look
at this team, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So again, so when the Edmonton wins the next game,
you will not call. But then when they you know,
you know, I don't think your phone worried. Your phone
only works after wins. It doesn't work after losses.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Oh god, but when do we lose? Man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Game one lost Game one. I watched that that went
to overtime. You lost that we.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Lost for salary cap reasons and make everybody a little
bit more. I know your people don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The more the series goes on, the morting's for television.
You lost Game one for television.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
That's no.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know, you were a little nervous. You were buying
your fingernails a little bit.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
You're li We know forty nine states don't want us
to win. We know this already. State of Florida is
the mecca of hockey.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yes, the mecca.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yes, you think you want to keep your hockey town,
keep your hockey town logo. You haven't done nothing in
twenty all right, I.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Got I gotta go. I thank you the great Sugar White. Mike.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
How lucky are when you found our show in South Beach,
Mike the Leprechaun, Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Welcome, good morning.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
So Boston is the mecca. The original four montre all
in Boston, So that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Colors the original six. I don't see original four screwed
that up. And there's nothing hockey elitists hate more than
you not getting it right. Come on, those original six teams,
most arrogant fan bases. We're the greatest of all time.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
What what?
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Let's I was injured and now he's starring in the
in the finals, So good for him. I have a

some music, guys, I have an applifier.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
I have a band for when you come to Boston,
and we'll start all right, very sense. They're a fancy band.
They're called let me see then Immigrant, it's a Spanish name.
Those some things. But the heck of there, those sugar things,
and they cost five hundred bucks. There's a quartet they
pay jazz, they play.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You're already. But again, this is contingent on them picking
up the TV show.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So if they pick up the TV show, we'll have
a big meet and greet and we'll go hang out
and there'll be a band.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
Well, no, one band.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Two nights.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
No, no, I'm only doing one night. I'm not doing
too nice. I'm not doing no, no, no, I'm not.
I have other things to do. I can. I'm willing
to do one night. I'll do one night, will do
a meet and greet. It'll be fun.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Let me set it up. Hey, let's let's asail it.
I've spent twenty five hundred bucks that guitar yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Did you buy it a pawn shop or something.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's new.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
There's a beautiful hour studio down they winded out. I'm
doing it for my kid's birthday. In August and the
parkis are quiet right now, they're done.
Speaker 11 (22:22):
Just bye.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Anyway, let's have.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay a thank you. I let's go to Chris, who's
driving around the Commonwealth. What's going on? Chris? Welcome?
Speaker 10 (22:33):
Hey? Then how are you? Thank you for taking the call?
Listen on your monologue. You you shook my rattle there, baby,
because you are you jaked?
Speaker 11 (22:42):
Batman is due.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
He called that guy out because he was right. He
was right about saying where was everybody seventeen years ago?
They weren't complain about taxes. They wanted to go to
a good team, and you, you poo pooved that. And
I was very angry at you for that, buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You want to you want to you want to punch me?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't care about seventeen the work, the sport, the
sports world, Chris, Chris, the sports world was much different
seventeen years ago. Like everything's it's not. Nothing is the same.
I think about seventeen years ago, Like I don't think Twitter.
Twitter came around around that time. I think I go
nine or the end of eight.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Like seventeen years ago, that social media stuff wasn't really
a thing. There was a face there, you know it
was my space. People were on like MySpace.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
About the cach thing, like you you kind of like
you kind of just glossed over that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I tell you, I don't think I glossed over if
you can make the same amount of money or make
more money by doing the same job, Like why would
you not want to go there?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Like that makes no sense not to.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
I I think I think that may call that guy
out pretty well, that job that got panalist, I think no,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I don't think he didn't. I think, you know, the
player lived the life. Gary Bedman's a corporate executive, like
he's in.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
That's his life. If you're a player, isn't it played it?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I mean they're calling now these guys to be fair
though these guys, all they know. The way you don't
pay taxes is be rich enough to hire someone that
knows how not to pay taxes. So you just find
all these these charities and these you know, workarounds where
you don't have to pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So they still find ways not to be that. But
just it's just easier if you live in Florida.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
So well, look at that real quick, look at did
he pay taxes.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Well, I mean they pay you know, they have some guys,
but it's like, yeah, usually when you when you make
a lot. I've known a few people in my life
that have become very wealthy, the first thing they tell
you to do is to move to Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
They just say that's where you need to go.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And how many baseball players have their off season residents
in Florida for tax reasons so they don't have to
pay yea Tyler Woods is La guy. He moved to
Florida and he's made a bunch of extra money and
all that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
And yeah, so all right, thank you, thank you, sir.
Would be good. There's that Chris driving around going to
the hospital.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Blind Scott is there is he's on the North end
and he's always got amazing stories. Did a podcast with
our friend Nico over the weekend and he loves your stories.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Nico's a big fan.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Yeah, I like your stories in the podcast. That was
an amazing podcast, The Serve on your Wife in the
South Carolina had. If you can go back and listen
to what Ben said, go listen to it. Trust me, dude, Ben,
you're managing the clock excellent right now.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
By the way, thank you, great clock. Let that record
show great clock management.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
You're almost ruin. You're almost ruin the salary with those
phone calls. By sure, great thing you took Sugar White
Mike's call. Terrible call though about hockey. Nobody wants to
hear the type of voice you know. And then, oh
my god, man, I'm not going anywhere near you. Which
you're going to hang with Alepp, I'll just you could
call me. I'll wait on hold while you're hanging with.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I thought you were friends.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I thought you and the LEPrecon were buddies and you
were gonna like Jerry shots.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I guess you're outside. I'm friends with everybody. I love everybody.
Somebody try people grab my arms and stuff, and uh,
they used me like I'm my waist. It's only eight
inches I've been measuring.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
You're not gonna You're not gonna go this thing. The
t they pick up the TV show and we do
the meet and greet in you. I know you can go,
but you're not gonna go.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
You know, my mom's from you.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Every one of these things you say you're gonna go
do the only time you've ever the only time I've
ever seen you is when I've been on the North
end of Boston.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
No I brought hepatitis to one of the meet and
greets like a and sever dude, that Gary Bettman and
Paul Bisonette argument, that idiot just stole my call. I
was going to do that call. So I agree with
what you're saying, Ben, I disagree. I agree to disagree.
But Gary Bettman is saying that capitalism and socialism can
live side by side. And Paul Bisinett is talking to
(26:56):
all the people from barstool or whatever you or all
your listeners right now driving into Boston. He's saying that
we're paying too much taxes. I looked up the working
statistics for Americans. It's like thirty percent.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But you, of course, Scott, you are biased. You are
taking those tax dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You admit it, right, You're getting money, so you don't
want less taxes because you get those people that are
driving into their jobs and trying to beat the traffic.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
There's paying for you. They're subsidizing you, blind, Scott.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
I've known Paul bits and that forever dude. He sucked
at hockey, played in the minor league for every the
big Western Canada guy. He's from Canada. He's a conservative
dude from a social country. I've always known that about him.
If we if you torched him right now, you would
be people would pro flames on you on the national bars.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Really, Oh, you're very concerned about the barstool crowd, were
very worried about it.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
So you don't.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
You don't do that.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I don't do that because I agree with him, So
why would I Why would I do that? I agree
with you, I don't if I if I disagreed, I'd
kill him.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
We're on national radio every week with some type of
hot take though.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know what I mean, and it is the industrial
complex of the hot take. It's very it's tough. It's
a battlefield.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
But you look at the Gary Bettman and Paulpit's in
that argument. Gary Bettman's an educated dude. He's way more
educated in the paulps. He played in the minors. He
let people beat him in the face and then they
took a tax money.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They can Can'tada fish, all right, So you don't like
you don't like Busin as you're ripping him, and you
like Betman because he said something you agree with, like
sounds like you like him.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It sounds like you like him.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
No, betman pimped out the league to anybody that offered
the money. Though, where is the middle here?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Dude?
Speaker 7 (28:36):
What are we doing in this world?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
You know what I mean? What are we?
Speaker 7 (28:40):
What are exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I don't know? Doing a talk shot bag of trash
out the window earlier?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I got so scared I hit in the close that after.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I thought you said you weren't going to do that anymore.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Well, no, no, it's scared you. No, I don't mind
doing that. What I gotta trash? He might move to Venice,
California in the you're not.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Moving to Are you gonna follow Whitey Bulger's path and
move out to the center.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
My mom said that we should move out there and
the win there. My mom told me a bunch of stuff.
Not to stay on the radio, but you can.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Live with coople. Have you stay at his house? You
can stay with him.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
One of the guys is a teacher on this show
that has taught one of my nieces that I have
never met before. That's how white tight this show is.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Yeah, it's a tight community. Can I gotta go? I
feel like I need to go.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
No, more Mike the leperd Okay, no more Mike the leper,
and I hate Mike the leperke that's wonderful. Rob wants
to complain about somebody? What are you complaining about, Robin
Orlando welcome, bro.
Speaker 11 (29:33):
Not real to complain or anything but silky white or
pasty white or whoever he is. Says that forty nine
states don't care about the Panthers.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Well, people of.
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Florida don't care about the panther and clearly he's just
a transplant in New Yorker. Now, I was hitches wagon
to a team that's winning. Nobody here cares about them. Okay,
So in the middle of the Everglades, they don't even
have a real stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
There you go, So they are irrelevant. You live in
for your proud Floridian and you don't.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Give him crack raise all right, I raise and we
don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Okay, let the record show send that out on social media.
They do not care, all right, thank you, go hang
up on your show. Let's hello to Mark on the
North End.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Hello, Mark, welcome and how's it going?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Ben? Good?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
You got Gary Bettman on one hand, who's completely ruining
the NHL, especially with the stupid NHL playoff format. I
can't stand it. And he wants to add a team
in Atlanta for a third time because that worked out
so well the first two times.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Well, only only if they bring back Scott Farrell to
do the play by play.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
And now you've got Paul Business on the other hand,
who still thinks the Toronto me believes heard the playoffs.
I'm gonna win the Stanley Cup. That guy the idiot,
and you have him sitting next to the greatest player
that ever played the game, Wayne Retzky. I think it's
an insult to Wayne Retzky for paul.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
A fair enough, but those guys usually make better broad
I'd actually rather hear Busite than Gretzky.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
To me, I watched that show. I've watched the Stanley
Cup final. He's better than Gretzky. Like Gretzky's a little
stiff on TV.
Speaker 11 (31:13):
He is.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
He's not that not that girl get by Lightning? All right,
thank you, Mark. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
As we work our way through the overnights, well, Bill
Belichick sparking some more controversy about his lady friend there
Jordaan Hudson, and some business dealings, what exactly is going
on Belichick under the microscope as the fallout. Now it's
tied down. He hired a publicist and things have calmed
down since the beginning of that. However, some new reports
(31:45):
popping up that there's some some funny business in terms
of the business dealing and they're.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Very entangled, very very entangled business wise.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
We talked about some of this in the previous episode
in terms of the real estate portfolio that Jordaan Hudson
has a mass after just being but a cheerleader from
a small school in Maine, and now she's got multi
million dollars worth of real estate, which coincides to her
(32:20):
sleeping with Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So people have been looking at that and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
But according to a new report, they're looking at the
they're they're kind of tracking the money and they're like,
where'd the money come from? And all this stuff, and
some investigative journalism going around looking at what's going on,
and there's a lot of confusion and unease and trying
(32:46):
to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
But it's some shady business.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I'm being very vague here, I understand because they don't
know a lot, but according to the one of the articles,
some trademark deals that she's involved in, and it's like,
what's what exactly is going on? The Daily Mail, which
is the great tabloid out of London. They were the
ones that originally said she had built up nine The
(33:12):
daughter of like a fishing family in Maine built up
a nine million dollar portfolio in the early twenties after
she started sleeping with Belichick. So it's pretty pretty wild,
pretty wild stuff, And I saw that in some new
new investigative journalism to get that's what we need. We
need to get to the bottom of that straight out.
(33:34):

Calling an audible in our number fo our number four?
Do you buy or sell Jason Kidd being interested in
the Knickerbocker's coaching job, his name being floated by just
about everyone in that sport. Also, we read that Air
and Rogers was the third choice for the Steelers, after
(00:20):
Matthew Stafford and Justin Fields.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Do you believe it or not?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
An NHL commissioner Gary Bettman called Paul Bisonette's concerns about
the NHL and Florida's lack of a state tax quote ridiculous.
Do you agree with the commissioner or not? We'll get
to all of that and more right now here. It
is our number four. Have a wonderful, wonderful Tuesday. You
(00:48):
gotta be kidding, You can't be serious.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Wel come, In the beginning of another hour of the
Ben Maler Show, we are in the air e freeware
audio dwellers, as we gnaw away at the darkness, coast
to coast, voter to border and beyond on the vast
and blow tortally powerful microphones of FSR amminating live from
(01:19):
the Whirlwind, the Whirlwind of Whispers, joined by the drifters
from the Fox Sports Radio studios as approved by not

tire installation tire raq dot com. The Way Tire Buying
Show be so our lead.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
This hour is from the the wacky, wacky world of
the End. Be a well, let me explain.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
There was no game last night, but pro bouncy balls
where we're going to be now. The finals are on sabbatical.
You know, we do not want our NBA players to
be injured. We need them to have a lot of
time off. Really grueling to play forty eight minutes over
two and a half hours and not play all forty
eight minutes very difficult work. It is one of the
(02:30):
hardest jobs you can physically have. The demand to play
once every couple of days just too much. So we
start in Gotham, filling the void, filling the void.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
The gossip.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's all about the gossip. So this story has been
bouncing around. We will attempt to tackle it. We have
learned that there is mutual interest on behalf of the
Knickerbockers as well as Maverick leader Jason Kidd, the vacant
head coaching j After Tom Thibodeau was whacked as coach,
(03:03):
he was poll Axe said bye bye. So let us
discuss the question. You're gonna buy or sell? Buy or sell?
Jason Kidd being interested in the Knickerbockers coaching job, you
know a buy or sell. So I've got floor in decor, cotton, candy,
and chainsaw, and we will combine these things together and
(03:26):
we are going to make the gobbagool. We're gonna make
the gobbagool. So to lead off here, I am going
to buy this. I am going to buy the Jason
Kidd and the Knickerbockers are playing foot see and there's
a public courtship that's going on right now. Jason Kidd
had the rug pulled out from underneath him when the
(03:49):
very shady deal happened, where it was not like a
trade is where you get something that is as good as.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
What you gave up.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
No one who knows basketball believes Anthony Davis, who gets
hurt when he gets out of bed in the morning,
is an equal to what the Mavericks traded in Luca.
So they dumped Luca for a bag of stale bread,
not slice bread, stale bread. And while having Jason Kidd
as the face of the Mavericks. So he was out
(04:19):
there because Nico Harrison wasn't hiding. He was in the
fetal position, sucking his thumb. So Jason Kidd was the
one that had to go in the front and he
had to take the shrapnel for that trade.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
And it would make sense.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Jason Kidd his entire time as a coach has been
a cof. Now what is a cof that would be
a coach of fortune as he bounces around the NBA
from team because he now most coaches are like this,
but Jason Kidd has coached.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Seven hundred games over seven.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Hundred games now in the in the NBA, he started
out with the Brooklyn Nets.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
He was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
And then he he got whacked from that job, and
then a couple years later he took the job in Dallas.
So when you have Jason Kidd, it's like a trip
to floor and decor, and you're buying the carpet because
he's a carpet bagger. Jason Kidd is a carpetbagger that
the Knicks are gonna pay him more than the Mavericks are.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
And that's a better roster. Now.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Now, who knows what's gonna happen in the offseason on
but right now, we do the show today, and right
now the team has a better roster in New York
and they're in the Eastern Conference, and there's less good
teams in the Eastern Conference, so you're just better off there,
right And in Dallas, you'd have to coach the fragility
of Anthony Davis, very fragile, and the ticking time bomb
(05:46):
of Uncle Drew Kyrie Irving.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
He's been on his best behavior here, however, how long
will that last?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
It's been a little bit. At any moment, come boom
with Kyrie. Then you have the wild card, Cooper Flack.
Do the Dallas Mavericks draft the prodigy from Maine who
went to college at.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Duke or do they trade the pick? And who do
they trade the pick for? What do they get? And
those are all answered question, But I'd buy the story.
It's out there.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
It's been bouncing around, and so normally the way these
things work in the NBA, with rare exceptions like the
Luca trade, these things are floated la la la la,
la la la, and then they floated for a couple
of days, and then eventually eventually they have Now furthermore,
we go, we switch sports, We go to Pittsburgh, the
land of the insert follow up to the follow up,
(06:36):
follow up to the follow up. Aaron Rogers, yet again
filling the content machine. We read that Aaron Rodgers, it
turns out, was not the first choice. He was not
the second choice.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Wouldn't you believe Aaron Rodgers was the third choice, number
three for the Pittsburgh football team, behind Matthew Stafford and
Justin Fields. Believe it or not. Again, that's the story
that's bouncing around, that the Steelers actually wanted two other
(07:08):
quarterbacks and then they settled for Aaron Rodgers. Believe it
or not.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So after a minutes long deliberation, including all the available evidence,
all of it, I am not a believer.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I am not.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I am agnostic on this. And this is what's called
the cotton Candy Store. Somebody's delivering the cotton candy trying
to pump up Justin Fields. That's the first thing, is
like Justin Field sucks. He sucked for the Bears, he
was crap for the Steelers. He'll be terrible for the Jets,
because that's what he is. He's a bad quarterback, but
he's got high upside and he's really good at those highlights,
(07:44):
those highlights on social media. He looks great watching a
real game. Not so good anyway. So you've got that.
But it's also more than just praising Justin Fields. It's
a shot. It's a poke the bear, or in this case,
poke the quarterback situation in Aaron Rodgers. It's an insult.
It's an insult to Aaron Rodgers, an absolute insult. Painting
(08:06):
the picture here that they backed into Aaron Rodgers like
he was like, you're at the bar and it's closing time,
and there's one woman left. You're like, oh, well, I
really might type, but you know it's closing time. And
so now, Aaron Rodgers, we needed a quarterback. Nobody else
wanted to hang out with us, and so the bar
is closing, so well, all right.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Fine fight.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Matthew Stafford was not gonna leave the Rams to go
to a worst team and live in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
That wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
You can ram it all day, you can ram it
all night, but you can't ram it in Pittsburgh. And
he was never, never, ever.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Even in that maybe like one conversation, never in that
deep with a series.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And then Justin Fields. Does anyone believe there's even a
grain of truth in Justin Fields?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Are you that stupid? Let's go back to last season?
So Justin Fields took over at the beginning, played a while.
It was not that great, it was average, and then
Russell Wilson took over and he was fine for a
little bit, and then he started writing the viobbit comet
in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
And at no time, at.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
No time did the coaching staff, at no time to
the front office say let's go back to Justin.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Fields because that's our guy. They didn't do it.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
They knew going into a playoff game that Russell Wilson
was cooked, that he couldn't play anymore. They still played him.
And so we're supposed to believe that they wanted to
bring back Justin Fields, that that was the guy. Come on,
I mean, are you that naive? Seriously, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Anyway, Now the last thing I love this story got
some audio I want to play for you. So it
involves the taxman during the Stanley Cup final game on Turner.
We saw the game last night, which was not much
of a game. Florida dominated. They led from pillar to post,
so it's two to one Panthers over the Edmonton Oilers.
(10:09):
But this is not about that. Instead, it's a brew
haha that happened on television. You've got that Weasley commissioner,
Gary Bettman, the NHL commissioner, who popped up on the
TNT Hockey Studio show. So they had this little hockey
studio situation and things got a bit.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
He did not I don't want to make this too dramatic.
It was not a Shakespearean drama, so it wasn't that.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
But during this situation you got Gary Bettman get into
it with Paul Bissonett, one of the panelists on TNT,
and he had shared his opinion on the fact that
the Florida Panthers are unfairly benefiting from the fact that
the politicians in Florida do not stick it to the
(10:57):
citizens of Florida like they do in California and other
places with the high taxation, which is obscene in most
of these places. So that was his points. They listen,
played for Florida. It's a good team, and you get
to keep more of your money, which seems pretty obvious
that if things were equal, why wouldn't you rather go there?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Like, it's just obvious that that makes sense.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Well, the question was posed to Gary Bettman and he
gave a very wordy rebuttal take go listen any plans maybe.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
In the future to implement a balance as far as
the no state tax and now you know where you stop.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
It's a ridiculous issue.
Speaker 6 (11:38):
When when the Florida teams weren't good, which was for
about seventeen years, okay, nobody said anything about it.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And you know, for those of you.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Who played, okay, were you sitting there with the tax table. No,
you wanted to go to a good organization in a
place where you wanted to live, where you wanted.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
To raise your kids and send them to school.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
You want to to play in a first class arena,
with a first class training facility, with an owner an organization,
a GM and a coach that you were comfortable with,
and you wanted.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
To have good teammates, so you'd have a shot at winning.
That's what motivates it.
Speaker 6 (12:13):
Could it be a little bit of a factor if
everything else were equal, I suppose, but that's not it.
And by the way, state taxes high in Los Angeles,
high in New York. What are we gonna do subsidize
those teams?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (12:28):
So that was the long answer, lee long winning answer
from the Commissioner of Hockey.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
So we'll sum it up like this. The NHL chemists.
You just heard it.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Gary Bettman calling Paul Bisonette's concerned about the advantage that
the Florida teams have with the tax situation.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
He said, it was ridiculous. Do you agree? All right?
So I'm going to disagree on this. This is a disagreement.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
And I heard it, I watched it, and this is
classic sugarcoating by Gary Betty. He wants to protect the image,
the illusion of the parody and all that stuff. And
even if it's just an illusion when kind of advocated,
because a lot of people don't dig that deep, they
don't get in the weeds and whatnot. And Betman, at
(13:14):
this point he has been a corporate weasel, an empty
suit for how long. I mean, my god, he was
an assistant for David Stern, who was the NBA commissioner
when the Hockey League hired him. The NHL hired him,
and he's still there after all these years being you know,
Sterns died and he's lost left the commissioner in the NBA,
and Gary Betman is still plugging along here.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
And it's like, yeah, you know, he spent so much
time in boardrooms in Manhattan, and he's just I know
what he's doing. I get it. I don't agree with
his position on this.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
There is a reason that Gary Bettman when he makes
an appearance in public, he gets booed like it's it's
like if they put nickelback up at a Metallica concert,
how much they would be booed?
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Or you know, some some boy band or something. So
now let me explain. I'm gonna explain this like you're
a child, Okay, like you're in kindergarten.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm gonna explain it.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
In Florida, there is no state income tax in California,
and in New York if you happen to play for
one of the teams there, those guys get their paychecks
and uncle Sam comes over and he's got a chainsaw
and he stops, he starts chopping away at the money.
That's their money, right, that's their money. Now you don't
(14:34):
think that matters. These are millions of dollars if you're
playing over a period of time in hockey, and so
you can do the same exact job in the same business. Right,
you get paid less if you're in a state with
the taxes. So the politicians, like in California, if you
(14:57):
play for the La Kings, you're getting tax so they
can spend money to repurchase cop cars that were burned
up in the rioting the other day. Right, they had
to read cop A bunch of cars got so you
got to buy those and and so it's but it's
simple math, like the tax breaks sweeten the deal. And
to think that that's not a fact, that's ridiculous. Now
(15:19):
you're being ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
It absolutely And who cares what happened for seventeen years
ago or whatever, I mean, who cares.

a victory lap? Sugar White Mike in South Beach. Hello
Sugar White Mike.
Speaker 4 (17:36):
Hello Ben, Yeah, coming quiet.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Your prediction is going to get a little shaky, but
it's okay. You know.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
You know what with the oil is they always come up
a little bit short, like your Richmond oilers. Well, Ben,
your staff is looking at you. What's the Richmond oilers?
It's a movie. Google it. It's called Coach Carter. Google it.
It'll take you from there. Now you see ed match
and we got them mentally whipped already.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
They're trying to fight a team that we.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Got the goons. We got the team to tell it.
Speaker 10 (18:05):
In the bus.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You want to take it there? Everything, Well, you saw
what happened tonight. You're gonna lose six to one every game.
Not my problem. You want to play hockey or play hockey,
We'll just beat you respectfully. You want to take it there,
We'll embarrassed nationwide, you know. And I'm tired of this.
I'm not going to mention the station that game comes on.
What's Wayne Gretsky? What's he doing there? I want to
see a former Florida panther.
Speaker 7 (18:28):
He gets a Florida panther.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Yes, that's where the American people need, a former Florida panther.
That's that's absolutely who cares Number ninety nine Edminton oiler Jellen, No, we.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Don't need that guy, No, we need who exactly should
we here? What?
Speaker 1 (18:41):
What great Florida I got to hear this? What Florida
panther legends should we have?
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh we could go away Van Beesbrook.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
And screw Lynn the beezer. We need the beezer. Put
the beezer on there, Come on.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
What's gressie brigand look like they didn't put no makeup
on him? Put some makeup on that man. That man
looked at lost and confused me.
Speaker 7 (19:00):
Some teams that are realistic.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Give me some teams that occurred, give me some analysis
that occurred. I got something.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Well, I am glad. Listen, I'm happy this. Let me
tell you. I'm sure why, Mike.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I'm happy that your phone was fixed because it didn't
work when they lost the Game one.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
It did not work.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
But now it should win. It was a constellation win. Man.
I could have called you last year when I said
nor I'm gonna live Ben talking about his oilers and
now the sequel to Oilers. I took a good look
at this team, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
So again, so when the Edmonton wins the next game,
you will not call. But then when they you know,
you know, I don't think your phone worried. Your phone
only works after wins. It doesn't work after losses.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Oh god, but when do we lose? Man, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Game one lost Game one. I watched that that went
to overtime. You lost that we.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Lost for salary cap reasons and make everybody a little
bit more. I know your people don't know about that.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
The more the series goes on, the morting's for television.
You lost Game one for television.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
That's no.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
You know, you were a little nervous. You were buying
your fingernails a little bit.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
You're li We know forty nine states don't want us
to win. We know this already. State of Florida is
the mecca of hockey.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Yes, the mecca.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yes, you think you want to keep your hockey town,
keep your hockey town logo. You haven't done nothing in
twenty all right, I.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Got I gotta go. I thank you the great Sugar White. Mike.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
How lucky are when you found our show in South Beach,
Mike the Leprechaun, Hello, Mike the Leprechaun.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Welcome, good morning.
Speaker 9 (20:36):
So Boston is the mecca. The original four montre all
in Boston, So that.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Colors the original six. I don't see original four screwed
that up. And there's nothing hockey elitists hate more than
you not getting it right. Come on, those original six teams,
most arrogant fan bases. We're the greatest of all time.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
What what?
Speaker 9 (20:59):
Let's I was injured and now he's starring in the
in the finals, So good for him. I have a
new guitar.
Speaker 4 (21:05):

Haven't congratulation, that's a non sequitur. You want to play
some music, guys, I have an applifier.
Speaker 9 (21:13):
I have a band for when you come to Boston,
and we'll start all right, very sense. They're a fancy band.
They're called let me see then Immigrant, it's a Spanish name.
Those some things. But the heck of there, those sugar things,
and they cost five hundred bucks. There's a quartet they
pay jazz, they play.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You're already. But again, this is contingent on them picking
up the TV show.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
So if they pick up the TV show, we'll have
a big meet and greet and we'll go hang out
and there'll be a band.
Speaker 9 (21:47):
Well, no, one band.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Two nights.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
No, no, I'm only doing one night. I'm not doing
too nice. I'm not doing no, no, no, I'm not.
I have other things to do. I can. I'm willing
to do one night. I'll do one night, will do
a meet and greet. It'll be fun.
Speaker 9 (22:03):
Let me set it up. Hey, let's let's asail it.
I've spent twenty five hundred bucks that guitar yesterday.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Did you buy it a pawn shop or something.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
That's new.
Speaker 9 (22:14):
There's a beautiful hour studio down they winded out. I'm
doing it for my kid's birthday. In August and the
parkis are quiet right now, they're done.
Speaker 11 (22:22):
Just bye.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Anyway, let's have.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
Okay a thank you. I let's go to Chris, who's
driving around the Commonwealth. What's going on? Chris? Welcome?
Speaker 10 (22:33):
Hey? Then how are you? Thank you for taking the call?
Listen on your monologue. You you shook my rattle there, baby,
because you are you jaked?
Speaker 11 (22:42):
Batman is due.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
He called that guy out because he was right. He
was right about saying where was everybody seventeen years ago?
They weren't complain about taxes. They wanted to go to
a good team, and you, you poo pooved that. And
I was very angry at you for that, buddy.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You want to you want to you want to punch me?
Speaker 1 (23:01):
I don't care about seventeen the work, the sport, the
sports world, Chris, Chris, the sports world was much different
seventeen years ago. Like everything's it's not. Nothing is the same.
I think about seventeen years ago, Like I don't think Twitter.
Twitter came around around that time. I think I go
nine or the end of eight.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Like seventeen years ago, that social media stuff wasn't really
a thing. There was a face there, you know it
was my space. People were on like MySpace.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
About the cach thing, like you you kind of like
you kind of just glossed over that a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I tell you, I don't think I glossed over if
you can make the same amount of money or make
more money by doing the same job, Like why would
you not want to go there?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Like that makes no sense not to.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
I I think I think that may call that guy
out pretty well, that job that got panalist, I think no,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I don't think he didn't. I think, you know, the
player lived the life. Gary Bedman's a corporate executive, like
he's in.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
That's his life. If you're a player, isn't it played it?
Speaker 1 (24:11):
I mean they're calling now these guys to be fair
though these guys, all they know. The way you don't
pay taxes is be rich enough to hire someone that
knows how not to pay taxes. So you just find
all these these charities and these you know, workarounds where
you don't have to pay taxes.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
So they still find ways not to be that. But
just it's just easier if you live in Florida.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
So well, look at that real quick, look at did
he pay taxes.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Well, I mean they pay you know, they have some guys,
but it's like, yeah, usually when you when you make
a lot. I've known a few people in my life
that have become very wealthy, the first thing they tell
you to do is to move to Florida.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
They just say that's where you need to go.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
And how many baseball players have their off season residents
in Florida for tax reasons so they don't have to
pay yea Tyler Woods is La guy. He moved to
Florida and he's made a bunch of extra money and
all that.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
And yeah, so all right, thank you, thank you, sir.
Would be good. There's that Chris driving around going to
the hospital.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Blind Scott is there is he's on the North end
and he's always got amazing stories. Did a podcast with
our friend Nico over the weekend and he loves your stories.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Nico's a big fan.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Yeah, I like your stories in the podcast. That was
an amazing podcast, The Serve on your Wife in the
South Carolina had. If you can go back and listen
to what Ben said, go listen to it. Trust me, dude, Ben,
you're managing the clock excellent right now.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
By the way, thank you, great clock. Let that record
show great clock management.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
You're almost ruin. You're almost ruin the salary with those
phone calls. By sure, great thing you took Sugar White
Mike's call. Terrible call though about hockey. Nobody wants to
hear the type of voice you know. And then, oh
my god, man, I'm not going anywhere near you. Which
you're going to hang with Alepp, I'll just you could
call me. I'll wait on hold while you're hanging with.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I thought you were friends.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
I thought you and the LEPrecon were buddies and you
were gonna like Jerry shots.
Speaker 5 (26:05):
I guess you're outside. I'm friends with everybody. I love everybody.
Somebody try people grab my arms and stuff, and uh,
they used me like I'm my waist. It's only eight
inches I've been measuring.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
You're not gonna You're not gonna go this thing. The
t they pick up the TV show and we do
the meet and greet in you. I know you can go,
but you're not gonna go.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
You know, my mom's from you.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Every one of these things you say you're gonna go
do the only time you've ever the only time I've
ever seen you is when I've been on the North
end of Boston.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (26:34):
No I brought hepatitis to one of the meet and
greets like a and sever dude, that Gary Bettman and
Paul Bisonette argument, that idiot just stole my call. I
was going to do that call. So I agree with
what you're saying, Ben, I disagree. I agree to disagree.
But Gary Bettman is saying that capitalism and socialism can
live side by side. And Paul Bisinett is talking to
(26:56):
all the people from barstool or whatever you or all
your listeners right now driving into Boston. He's saying that
we're paying too much taxes. I looked up the working
statistics for Americans. It's like thirty percent.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But you, of course, Scott, you are biased. You are
taking those tax dollars.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
You admit it, right, You're getting money, so you don't
want less taxes because you get those people that are
driving into their jobs and trying to beat the traffic.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
There's paying for you. They're subsidizing you, blind, Scott.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
I've known Paul bits and that forever dude. He sucked
at hockey, played in the minor league for every the
big Western Canada guy. He's from Canada. He's a conservative
dude from a social country. I've always known that about him.
If we if you torched him right now, you would
be people would pro flames on you on the national bars.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Really, Oh, you're very concerned about the barstool crowd, were
very worried about it.
Speaker 9 (27:47):
So you don't.
Speaker 10 (27:47):
You don't do that.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I don't do that because I agree with him, So
why would I Why would I do that? I agree
with you, I don't if I if I disagreed, I'd
kill him.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
I don't.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
We're on national radio every week with some type of
hot take though.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You know what I mean, and it is the industrial
complex of the hot take. It's very it's tough. It's
a battlefield.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
But you look at the Gary Bettman and Paulpit's in
that argument. Gary Bettman's an educated dude. He's way more
educated in the paulps. He played in the minors. He
let people beat him in the face and then they
took a tax money.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
They can Can'tada fish, all right, So you don't like
you don't like Busin as you're ripping him, and you
like Betman because he said something you agree with, like
sounds like you like him.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
It sounds like you like him.
Speaker 5 (28:32):
No, betman pimped out the league to anybody that offered
the money. Though, where is the middle here?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
Dude?
Speaker 7 (28:36):
What are we doing in this world?
Speaker 4 (28:38):
You know what I mean? What are we?
Speaker 7 (28:40):
What are exactly?
Speaker 2 (28:41):
I don't know? Doing a talk shot bag of trash
out the window earlier?
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I got so scared I hit in the close that after.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
I thought you said you weren't going to do that anymore.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Well, no, no, it's scared you. No, I don't mind
doing that. What I gotta trash? He might move to Venice,
California in the you're not.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
Moving to Are you gonna follow Whitey Bulger's path and
move out to the center.
Speaker 5 (29:01):

Not to stay on the radio, but you can.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Live with coople. Have you stay at his house? You

Speaker 5 (29:11):

pasty white or whoever he is. Says that forty nine
states don't care about the Panthers.
Speaker 9 (29:41):
Well, people of.
Speaker 11 (29:42):
Florida don't care about the panther and clearly he's just
a transplant in New Yorker. Now, I was hitches wagon
to a team that's winning. Nobody here cares about them. Okay,
So in the middle of the Everglades, they don't even
have a real stadium.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
There you go, So they are irrelevant. You live in
for your proud Floridian and you don't.
Speaker 4 (30:00):
Give him crack raise all right, I raise and we
don't care.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Okay, let the record show send that out on social media.
They do not care, all right, thank you, go hang
up on your show. Let's hello to Mark on the
North End.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Hello, Mark, welcome and how's it going?
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Ben? Good?
Speaker 7 (30:16):
You got Gary Bettman on one hand, who's completely ruining
the NHL, especially with the stupid NHL playoff format. I
can't stand it. And he wants to add a team
in Atlanta for a third time because that worked out
so well the first two times.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Well, only only if they bring back Scott Farrell to
do the play by play.
Speaker 7 (30:39):
And now you've got Paul Business on the other hand,
who still thinks the Toronto me believes heard the playoffs.
I'm gonna win the Stanley Cup. That guy the idiot,
and you have him sitting next to the greatest player
that ever played the game, Wayne Retzky. I think it's
an insult to Wayne Retzky for paul.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
A fair enough, but those guys usually make better broad
I'd actually rather hear Busite than Gretzky.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
To me, I watched that show. I've watched the Stanley
Cup final. He's better than Gretzky. Like Gretzky's a little
stiff on TV.
Speaker 11 (31:13):
He is.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
He's not that not that girl get by Lightning? All right,
thank you, Mark. It is the Ben Mahlor Show.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
As we work our way through the overnights, well, Bill
Belichick sparking some more controversy about his lady friend there
Jordaan Hudson, and some business dealings, what exactly is going
on Belichick under the microscope as the fallout. Now it's
tied down. He hired a publicist and things have calmed
down since the beginning of that. However, some new reports
(31:45):
popping up that there's some some funny business in terms
of the business dealing and they're.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Very entangled, very very entangled business wise.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
We talked about some of this in the previous episode
in terms of the real estate portfolio that Jordaan Hudson
has a mass after just being but a cheerleader from
a small school in Maine, and now she's got multi
million dollars worth of real estate, which coincides to her
(32:20):
sleeping with Bill Belichick.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So people have been looking at that and all that stuff.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
But according to a new report, they're looking at the
they're they're kind of tracking the money and they're like,
where'd the money come from? And all this stuff, and
some investigative journalism going around looking at what's going on,
and there's a lot of confusion and unease and trying
(32:46):
to figure out what's going on.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
But it's some shady business.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I'm being very vague here, I understand because they don't
know a lot, but according to the one of the articles,
some trademark deals that she's involved in, and it's like,
what's what exactly is going on? The Daily Mail, which
is the great tabloid out of London. They were the
ones that originally said she had built up nine The
(33:12):
daughter of like a fishing family in Maine built up
a nine million dollar portfolio in the early twenties after
she started sleeping with Belichick. So it's pretty pretty wild,
pretty wild stuff, And I saw that in some new
new investigative journalism to get that's what we need. We
need to get to the bottom of that straight out.
