Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name bur one, our one
of our radio show repackaged in the podcast format, and
we go where this story takes us. And that's pro
bouncy ball. Who is behind the latest Kevin Durant leakage?
He's unhappy with the nets and Durant story bouncing around

(00:24):
the sporting world. Why is Kevin Durant rocking the Brooklyn
Bridge and who is behind the latest Kevin Durant leaked story.
We'll get to the bottom of all of this, and
we'll do it right now in our number one Here
it is the fire breathing dragon, throwing fire in the

(00:47):
air everywhere. Welcome in the beginning of another edition of
the Bannetmallers Show. As we are in the air everywhere,
belly to belly, coast to coast, border the order and
beyond on the mast and uncommonly powerful microphones of f

(01:08):
never run out of s are emmanating live from the chain,
the supply chain of hot taste. We have no shortages
hot takes, well, lukewarm takes occasionally, but we try for
hot takes like hot cakes from inside the match radio box.
In our lead, this hour comes from something I did not.

(01:31):
Did not expect to be discussing with you today. Why
would you talk pro bounce ball? It's August? What are
you doing topair with me? We go where the story
of the day takes us and the drama orama. I
am a sucker for the drama orama and it is

(01:53):
in Brooklyn in the house. Kevin Durant, a fire breathing
dragon is back. Yeah, that story's got new legs. And
have not heard Buckle up, buckaroo, because you're about to
hear so if you missed it been possibly so, we've
learned that Kevin Durant has had enough. Oh we already

(02:17):
knew that, but he met with the Nets owner Josi
recently and issued an ultimatum that the team has to
go scorched Earth. It's either Kevin Durant or Steve Nash
and Sean Marks. You gotta fire the coach, Steve Nash,

(02:38):
the GM Sean Marks, or you get me. Shams Sharania
hidden behind a paywall over the Athletic a charge for
their content informs us that Kevin Durant does not does
not believe in the direction of the Brooklyn basketball team,
the direction they're headed, even though he is responded posible

(03:00):
for the direction they're headed. He's the one that set
the GPS. So old word. Oh wow, it took place
on Saturday, and KD is said to be resolute in
his desire for a trade. So it resolutes are gonna
air resolute. So let us discuss the question who is
behind the latest Kevin Durant's story. That's so, I've got

(03:24):
blood droplets, a Laddin, and hobgoblins, and we will combine
all the together and we are going to make Brooklyn
Pizza New York Pizza from Brooklyn, which is overrated PiZZ
I've had Brooklyn pizza. It's overrated. I blame Marcel, our
caller from Brooklyn. I think he's responsible for that. So anyway, hey,

(03:47):
this is a nice surprised of off. If you're in
the sports gas baggery business, which we occasionally dabble in. Here,
an old reliable friend has returned to the very top
the sports conversation cycle. KD sulking Sourpuss in Brooklyn playing

(04:09):
the parlor game, and they play this game of guessing
sources to determine who leaked this one. Now, I look
at the Durant story where he had a meeting with
Joe suck questions. But this is easy e z paisy.
From this side of the microphone, we ask the standards

(04:30):
from this story. Most importantly, the one question that stands
out here is who benefits from the league? Who stands
to game to Kevin or getting out And after a
minutes long Mallard investigation, if you follow the trail of
blood droplets, they lead back Rant or Morant, that he

(04:53):
and the people around him, his inner circle, his posse,
whatever you want to say. There the group around making
sure more important that this bounces around the pinball machine
of sports conversation. That they want the head put this stutainly,
they want everyone who's worried about NBA transactions to obsessed

(05:16):
with this story. That's why Shams was deputized. That he
was the one with Lorie out for the NBA world
to consume. And Kevin Durant's not happy. If Kevin Durant's
not happy, nobody's happy. And that's on the front Burn
Durant make it happen, like the bombastic blowhards in the
media to speak this trade into existence, and knowing the

(05:42):
way these things work, I will gay wrong te that
that happ now part B of this. Why is Kevin
Durant rocking. It's a couple of months Brooklyn Bridge, well,
pretty obvious that they remain at locker heads and KD
gave the Ponds to work out a trade. He said,
all right, you gotta get rid of me. I do

(06:04):
not want to be here anymore. I would like to
go somewhere else. And it's moved at the pace of
I want to facility water. You were looked at pond Water.
It doesn't doesn't move exactly. So now Durant said, you
know what day the trade? So I am going to
use the powers invested in me by the NBA hierarchy

(06:28):
to get a trade Ross Rhodes I needed. I want
to expedite the process or process if you will. And
so here we are. We're at a YouMagine Durant, I
give him this. He gets a Gold Trophy Excellence Award
for huts Buk in sports demanding the dismissal of Steve

(06:53):
Nash and Sean Marks the coach and GM when you
are responsible for Steve Nash being hired to head coach,
he's just there so the media has someone to distract
them from the players. Nothing more than a liaison to
the star player. You look at the Nets and Kyrie
Irving and Kevin Durant, these guys they're the ones calling

(07:15):
the shots. And then you have Sean Mask, who is
the genie in the bottle right and now the genie
out of the bottle. Your wish is my command. He
is holden to Kevin Durant and a sock puppet, a
sock puppet to Kevin Durant KD. Does anyone disagree that
Kevin Durant has final approval on all roster moves the Nets? Mate?

(07:41):
Does anyone disagree? No? One disagrees with that. That's how
That's how it works. That's how that level, that's how
they are teams. Kawhi Leonard with the Clippers as final
say Lebron James with the Lakers. You go down list,
you reach a Steph Curry with the Wars, you reach
a certain point and you get to holden. Business operates,
and that's how they've done that for years. And so
Kevin Durant has final approval. Well, he hands selected the

(08:01):
core of the Nets roster and again he wins the
goal Set Trophy for Excellence Award for Hutzpa in Sports
by saying this is not right and I'm not happy
with the direction of the team. When he was the
one that scapegoats the boat in that direction and now
he does not like the direction he's gone and now
he wants to clean house, and he's got to have

(08:24):
us acting zif heep and Joe now the owner of
the Nets. Joe sign said that the coaches in front
office have the support of ownership. Oh, he will not
be coerced into dumping Steve Nash or the general manager. Now,
that would indicate that he is ready to play ball

(08:45):
eyeball and make a trade, not that Steve Nash is
long for the world. Does anyone think Steve Nash is
going to be coaching in the NBA that much longer?
Believe he would rat playing their dance on a soccer field.
He would enjoy that more than coaching in the NBA.
He would like that a lot. All right. Now the
last word here, So where will Kevin Durant end up
take out Almighty Sousayer next season? So I'm glad you asked. Now,

(09:11):
I'm not gonna use the crystal ball. I'm not gonna
and that is the the time tested magic eate ball
I have instead the anemometer amometer, the device that measures
which direction the wind is blowing. So I've hot air,
hot wind, and looking at the animal that the wind

(09:36):
is blowing, and it's blowing the direction of the green
hob Goblins. The hob goblins are smiling, kay, And even
Durant is prime for the taking. To hang out with
the lepre cons and run on the park ready, mates
it eat clam chowder and all kinds of amazing food.

(10:01):
Knock yourself out. It's all set up that way. Just
this is a Linus one situation. Just add water. The
gambling market actually favors that. Now for a long time
it was the Suns, but the Celtics at Mayaton so
deventy five are a favorite for Durant. Then you have
the Suns way back at plus three fifty. But the
Sun's the math on that doesn't work because they kept

(10:24):
DeAndre the Warrior. They wouldn't be able to trade for
Durant until the trade deadline, which is made NBA season.
Since then, after the Suns, you've got teams like one
turns in the Toronto Raptors at plus four hundred, the Trailblazers.
How about a grouping People's team. Those are all punch

(10:45):
of Damian Lillard and Kevin Durant. That could happen, not likely.
The Grizzlies are also there, and the Clippers, the pick
at the pipe Treams, those are all pipe dreams, the Celtics,
the lepre cons As. One of those crazy people that
call the show says, that is the show. If you
would like this moment based on which direction the wind

Moron trouble and I live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
It's Ben Maller that is a NFL star facing So

(13:19):
we do it for partying. We'll explain what that's all about.
We begin here with a spicy hot Kevin Durant Mallard monologue,
but the Burner down is the duck count writes in
He says, Benjamin, if the Nets get rid of Nash
and their GM for a thirty four year old diva,
they will go. They wants to be Lebronha's franchise that

(13:42):
ever existed. What is this bozo? What is this bozo
done outside of Golden State? Nothing dog fron so bad.
The Burner account says, you will never have that power plans.
I'll go to your corner and the team rights and
he says the teams need to stop giving into their

(14:04):
superstar demands. I hope I agree. I think they should
give it to like the last game yesterday, the demands
of the last gay on the team. It's like how
we operated around here. You know, it's like whatever I want,
I get When I go to management, I say, hey,
I need something like for example, I was in here
fixed the tone and the printer was not working. There
was out they were out of ink in the printer.

(14:25):
So I made sure that management socker the owner in
the printer, and so we were able to print. It
was fascinating. Yes, Brian writes and says Kyrie and Durant
is stunk with each other, not gonna win any titles,
and still in the shadows of the dumpster fire. Knicker

(14:47):
Bockers says to Brian on the pro bouncy ball situation. Uh,
let's see here. Let's go to the phones and we'll
say hello blind Scott, who's on the north end of Boston. Hello,
blind Scott, welcome, Hey, what's having and we Hey, we've

(15:09):
dealing with Dad and the freckland here in Boston the
past that they've Ben's had a heat wave where every
day it's like above ninety five degrees and one hundred
percent humidity. I don't know, I mean scarily to camp
and I didn't where you're going to walk everywhere, So
I've been stuck in silence into these hot takes. These
monolife Like I really enjoyed that mac Jones monolifue that
you did about him sucking and training gay scoop. Wow,

(15:30):
he just can't get it. And uh, you know, the
whole ship's sinking. But hey, you keep having these wind bags. Uh,
these washed up radio calls show up like man wave.
Last night, he showed up almost we have an update.
He showed up again uninvited. He showed up again for
the second and second to ninety. He's an inter the
christ on the air. Ye wait till you wait till

(15:53):
you hear he's here. Now you know I'm a good
guy because I normally would not allow a person who
likes this team into the studio. But Houston retired. He
sold out Chris and Houston. He took the money and ran.
He took the bag and ran to the day shift.
But he's here, dude, Well maybe he'll be a little
bit alive when he actually gets on the microphone. He

(16:13):
won't sound like she's like six feet He's about taking
dirt nap like a lot of the other listeners that
call the show is afraid. I've been trying to find
someone to take on the verb woket on forever. And
then you put Pete up against you last night, and
the guy cowards and runs away. You know what I mean.
That's the Washington You're beating. Pittsburgh's cull afraid of blind
Scott and doesn't it wants nothing to do with you. Yeah. Hey,

(16:37):
one other thing too, I have Chris, I don't tell
that story about the Boston barbecue restaurants, the one that
went on there. Remember it's gonna be Ben Mallis show Stein.
That was some funny stuff from like five years ago.
Oh yeah, there was a guy Chris has to add
on it. But there was a guy in Boston that
was gonna name food dishes after all of us at
this barbecue place, and then he vanished to where do

(16:58):
you go? Malaysia left. Yeah, he collected a bunch of
money from people. Yeah. Off, I couldn't even get so
I couldn't even get hush puppies out of that. The
guy he took off. Just hey, hey, one more thing, Wait,
one more thing. Why don't we get Chris at Houston
on him for the whole night. Keep him on and

(17:19):
the room, just rip him on my lawn, you know
what I mean? Keep him on? How would that work?
Take take a shot at him right now? What do
you want to say to him right now? He's not
on right now, But Chris is so fatty with sixty
inch waist ants and I yes, yes, yes, Utah right

(17:40):
all right there? That was terrible. Go away, thank you,
Jay dot In ends and says, send cry baby Kevin
Durant to Utah for Donovan Mitchell. I'm sure Katie would
enjoy the nightlife in Salt Lake and we would really

(18:01):
really have a fine time there. The sitting on his
nightlife radar, Well, d you think abou duransillans all worked up?
He doesn't go out much like he just like smokes
weed and plays basketball. I believe that's that's how that goes.
I think I believe that's the case. Terry and engaged.
He's all flustered. Anytime I mentioned basketball, Terry in England

(18:24):
loses his lunch. He cannot handle any basketball talk and
he's out ring that has been played. Curious that I
would do a monologue about the NBA in football season. Well,
technically is not football season, Terry. There has been no
real football game Jacksonville. And if you like practice, not
a game, not a game you like practice, Terry, then

(18:45):
that's on you. And I'm sure you enjoyed watching Deed
better than those backups versus the Raiders backups. That was compelling, thrilling,
entertaining conversation. Terry says, when are your backband? We need
the Well, don't don't blame me, It's not my fault.
Kevin Durant's story was more interesting than any particular story

(19:07):
in the NFL. There was a story who's had riv
attention in the NFL, and this evolves Aaron Rogers. Now,
we told you in a previous episode of the show
that Roger and Field that he did psychedelic drugs in
a recent podcast interview that he did with one of
his buddies, one of his hipster buddies went and that

(19:31):
bounced around. So of course people wanted to know, is
Aaron Rodgers in trouble for discussing the fact that he
and I believe it was danny Ka Patrick Janet out
in the woods and tried Ayawaska, a psychedelic t containing hallucid.
They've made properties their DMT and so they the media.

(19:54):
Some people in the media contacted the NFL, and the
NFL has made a ruling and see they have decided.
According to a league spokeshack that there is nothing to
worry about here that Aaron Rodgers, even though he was
hanging out in Peru, it's not being all kinds of
weird demonic creatures in his head sampling the ayahuasca. He

(20:19):
is considered in any trouble. He did not violate the
NFL's drug program. But if he had smoked weed, he
might have been in trouble. A couple years ago, he
would have been in trouble. But the Iowa the spokesman,
it is said that is considered illegal a Schedule one
drug in the United States. But according to and then

(20:39):
Jordan Win for the NFL, this is not a violation. Resties.
Aaron Rodgers will be there for the Packers until he
gets hurt. It's all comes in and plays. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Ben Maller Show weekdays
at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hey, I'm Doug.

(21:00):
The podcast is called All Ball. We usually talk all
basketball all the time, but it's more about the stories
about what made these people love their sport and all
the interesting interactions along the way. We talked to coaches,
we talked to players, we tell you stories. He download it,
he listened to it. I think you like it. Listen
to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,

(21:23):
Apple podcast or ever you get your podcast. So we
mentioned on yesterday's show there was this long time all
being an assistant coach at the University of Oklahoma for football. Yeah,
he said the wrong thing. You can't say at the time,
you can't say it. Kale Gundy, who's we've been around
that program here. I think somebody said he was like
the most tenured assistant coach and the he goes something.

(21:44):
His brother Adrian Peterson all the great players at Oklahoma
over the last twenty pad or something, quarterback there. His
brother is the Oklahma Stead coach. Anyway, so we talked
about yesterday. He apparently the word was he said a
word that he read on an I So we thought
from a player, we we we we assumed it was
the N word, but they didn't. They don't say what

(22:05):
it is because you know, he can't can't even put
it in print or whatever. But anyway, uh, sack In
do it. Well, this is an overreaction. If he just
read it off of somebody's tablet and and made a
mistake or there's more to the story. Did he did he?
Did he hire North Koreans that clarify things a phone?
I don't think so. So here's apparently more to the story.
Bret Venables, the new head coach of Oklahoma, uh, over

(22:29):
and over in a bit. Apparently he didn't just read
it like once off of tablet. Apparently he said the
word allowed multiple times. Oh my god, state of Oklahoma,
and nay, I need to clutch my pearls here hold
on Venables saying that he did the right thing in
and announcing his retirement. So did the first whammy? Did

(22:50):
they still have the whammy on Lincoln Riley since he left?
Did they still put the whammy on Lincoln? I'm sure
that's yeah. Absolutely, So they can't win there, and it
seems like overse year that went on. The Sooners here
with this the story. We're just weeks away from college football.
I know, I'm I'm excited. I'm big college football. Sow
are you going to go to Fresno State games? I
might have to go absolutely, I'm they were coming to

(23:11):
the coliseum again this year? Oh is that right? I
might have to attend that game. I've not been doing
an SEC game in some time, but i will, Sooda
writes back, now that they're gonna be good again, I
might have to, all right, thank you for that. Adie
is the Bannet Mallers show. As we continue on here,
chopping down the overnight hours of Reek in Minute and
the Reeks, and he says, I think you, oh, Coop

(23:32):
an apology. Yesterday you were ripping him for having rack nephobia.
A bad job by you, as I feel for Coop.
It can be debilitating, he says, apologize now, and screw
the Houston Homer Chris so from I'm because well, I'm
not going to apologize. Coop was late to work because

(23:54):
of a rack neophobia yesterday. He was a little late.
That did not show up on this. He has shopping
center if you missed it. He has a fear of
spiders and there was a spider crawling around his car.
He literally pulled over to as and if you think,
got out of the car and had to have his
future bride pick him up with her car so they

(24:17):
could switch cars. Chocolate Chip, Coop, I'm going to support
that activity. Listen. I want Coop you know what you
do when it's like when somebody's addicted to somebody have
a problem, like a fat kid addicted to chocolate chip cookies.
You put him in a room we're coming down from
keys and make him meat a whole box of cho
chip cookie so they didn't want those again. So Coop
needs to be in a room with spiders, nothing but
spiders everywhere, spider webs. He'll die from the ceiling, the

(24:40):
whole thing, and he'll get over his a rachnophobia, he'll
get all over I don't think that's how that works. No,
it'll happen either that or emoi. Let's say hello him
a spider bite or something like that. But either way
you'll be past the issue. You'll move on. Let's go
back to the phones and we'll say hello to any
meany mine, Jed who fled who is somewhere in the

(25:03):
Sunshine State? Hello Jed, the spiders extended guy. Everybody, and
speak to that thing you were talking about the other night.
Have you ever done ayahuasca? Have you ever done that?
Have I ever done? What's comboding? It was my regular show? Yeah, No,
I have not a right. Let's go to Danny in Burlington.

(25:26):
What's going on? I mean, I asked the guy a question.
It's it's a going on, Danny. What's going on? Danny?
How are you doing? How you doing? Ben? Nice to

All right, what are your top three? Uh? Oh, oh god?
You know to definitely, um, probably you know marijuana all
the time, but uh, but mushroom, mushrooms, okay, mushroom. But
what mushrooms sometimes don't get you where you want to

(26:14):
that's great, it's great advice. A crystal mess. Oh no,
nothing like that. But back in the day, when what
do your what are your bottom? What do you stay
away from if? Well, no, nothing like that. But but
you know what mescaling is. He's called chuckleberries back. They're
like a little tiny um and they would just make
you laugh for hours and hours and you could drink

(26:36):
so cases of beer and like yeah, yeah, and you
just sit back from like laughing gas. What they were called.
They were called chuckleberries, and we would buy them for
the whole campus. And I live in northern Vermont, so yeah,
and then watch everyone laughs yeah, and everyone the whole
campus would just be just like laughing their asses off
and drinking cases of beer. When was the early early

(27:03):
different world, the early eighties, Everyone's sure, oh sure, yeah,

make your dreams come true. We can blow you up
if you No. I just thought I heard that take
place in the background. I got my Yeah, Well, there's

(27:55):
a lot of it's we're in a demilitarized zone here,
so there's a lot of explosives, you know, to the book.
I'm just saying, all right, thank you, Danny. I don't
think he even got to the point though. I think
he wanted to say. He wanted to say something about
the giants, and we never got chat. We go back,
went through all the niceties. We did get his top
three drugs though, which is very important. So it's all

(28:17):
about the chat. It's all about There is a pro
bouncy ball and Ben Simmons a very entertaining punching bag.
During the NBA season, a new story out about Ben
Simmons from Rick Buker. Does he still work for us? Eddie?
Did we still have him on the payroll occasionally? Rick Buker,

(28:38):
I don't know about bay Okay. So Rick Buker who
occasionally pops up on Fox Sports Radio, he's an NBA
guru and all that, and he has said a wild
tale there is against the Simmons, claiming that there was
a group chat between members of the Brooklyn Nets prior
to Game four of their playoffs was rack Austin Celtics

(29:01):
and they were all chatting amongst each other there, and
according to Rick Buker, he revealed that the question was
asked amazed that during the team chat before Game four
whether or not Ben Simmons was going to play. He
whip chats, stayed the group chat whether he was going
to play, and according to Rick Buker, he says that

(29:25):
Simmons immediately left the group chat. He exited the group
to actually do He's left there, said I'm out of
here when asked are you going to play? Which is
really the hardest question, the hardest questions to possibly ask
Ben Simmons staying for it his job. Now. I don't
know whether that story is true or not, but it
certainly is believable from what we know of Ben Simmons

(29:48):
and his disper of twenty actually playing in the NBA
and he hates playing in the NBA, played doing his job.
He hadn't played in an NBA game and since what
the summer, I mean, who knows but any twenty one right,
So by the time he comes back with assuming he
plays this year in October, maybe he won't even play

(30:08):
at the beginning of the year. There the get he
didn't play until that since a Game seven with the
Sixers when he famously passed up a layup and passed
the ball outside my great to Ben Simmons. But certainly
it is believable at that is a guy that is
dead weight there and very amusing, like, oh, I gotta go,

(30:28):
got the my phone cut out? Right, it's the guy
I was. I was, I was gonna check, I was
gonna respond, but my phone cut out. That's it. There
you go. There's a lot of drama there with the nets.
He hunched back Kevin Durant's story which was leaked to

I was late. I got a radio gig years ago,
and I was living far away from the station, so
I had an early morning shift and I got a
hotel room right near the radio station for that night

because I didn't want to be late to work. And
I still overslept and showed up late, and I had
to explain. It's like, well, I got a hotel room
and all that the alarm day and they didn't believe me.
But I was like, I wasn't lying. I didn't make
anything up like that, but I actually had paid for
a hotel room. But do you want to hear mine?
You want to hear mine? You're gonna tell me whether
I want to hear it or not. I think you're
gonna tell them. Okay, Well, when I was in college,

made up to lie that my brother had died. I
had no brother. But he still didn't give it to you.
