Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our name, but four hour four
of our radio show, the Audio Magic. Well, he'll be
the determining factor whether it's audio magic or not. But
you can't go round, can't go wrong with the round
mound of remound. How do you appraise Charles Barkley? Charles Barkley,
(00:24):
in a sixty minutes interview a fluff piece, giving his
take on this modern generation of ball players, in particular
Kevin Durant buy or sell that it's measurably harder on
today's players because of Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. And what
did you think of Kevin Durant's response to Charles Barkley
(00:47):
talk about that and more? Right now? It is our
number four here. It is softy mix soft That's what
this guy is. Well God, In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mallers Show, We are in the
air everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we pour honey in the
(01:13):
ear coast to coast, border to border in beyond on
the vast and staggeringly powerful microphones of fs are emanating
live from the Splish as we splitched flash the time away.
We are broadcasting live from the Tirac dot Com studios
ti iraq dot com. We'll help you get there and
(01:36):
unmatched election fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti iraq dot com The
Way tire buying should be just a few days away
from the opening of baseball. Major League Baseball's opening day
later this week, send about that the Final four is
now set and the NFL owners meetings are taking place
(01:59):
later today. They begin in the Valley of the Sun.
So we're talking NBA. What let me explain our leave
this hour does come from pro bouncy ball, but it's
someone we actually like. In pro bouncy ball. The round
Mound of Rebound has chimed in on a number of topics,
including the state of college basketball today and a whole
(02:22):
lot more. But for our purposes, Charles Barkley delivered another sermon,
Sir Charles or what did Charles do? Now, let me
set this up for us. So Charles was featured on
a show that my parents loved. It's still on the air.
I don't think many people watch it these days, called
sixty Minutes, and they just do features like fifteen minute
(02:43):
features on random people who are of importance, politics, culture, sports,
occasionally and so Charles Barkley, Sir Charles, entered the fray
and he was featured, and he delivered a few haymakers
at one younger player in particular. And this thing was
(03:05):
mostly a fluff piece, which is fine. I like Barkley,
so whatever, that's what they do. But for our purposes,
there was the meat on the bone. And if you
didn't hear this or see it, and perhaps you missed it,
as Warner Wolf would say, let's go to the audiotape,
here's Charles Barkley, Sir Charles commenting on Kevin Durant. He said, quote,
(03:26):
he's very sensitive, great player. Barkley said of Durant, he's
part of the generation who thinks he can't be criticized.
He's never looked in the mirror and says, man, is
that a fair criticism? And then when Barkley was asked
by the random generic reporter on sixty minutes whether modern
(03:48):
players were more sensitive than Barkley's generation, he replied, that
would be an understatement. Close quote from Charles Barkley. I
guess we don't have that audio, unfortunately, So the question,
how do you praise Charles Barkley's take on this generation
so I wholeheartedly agree. I wholeheartedly agree with that. I've
(04:13):
got ice cream cone, flat circle, and metal detector, and
we will combine all of these things together now to
kick off the festivities here Charles Barkley, and I wish
you could hear, but he's not speaking nonsense like facts
or facts Kevin Durant, who he wass asked about. Kevin
(04:35):
Durant is one of the faces of this generation of
the NBA and one of the great paper machee stars
of our time. These guys are talented players, but generally
are lacking the toughness of having rhino skin, meaning they
are unable to process the criticism. And I hear from
(04:56):
a lot of people, well, people are better today because
they're soft, because they get offended by everything. And I'm like,
I roll my eyes. I'm like, is that really better?
It's society better when you go around playing the victim
all the time and you're like, everyone's out there get me,
and I'm mom hurt by this. I don't think it is,
but maybe I'm becoming old. I think that's that's a
(05:17):
badge of demerit not a badge of credit. And so
when Barkley went on his little rant there, like, yeah,
most of the NBA media, it's turned over and they're fanboys.
They are these dopes masquerading reporters. They throw verbal bouquets,
they slap or slap or slobber all over the players.
(05:39):
You get a mix of jock sniffers and toe suckers.
It's nauseating. And Charles in charge who actually played in
the NBA. So that's the thing that always drives players
crazy because Barkley played and he says the things that
people who didn't play say, and that really annoys the
players because they're they're not that bright, a lot of
(06:01):
these players, and so their default position is, well, you
didn't play the game, so your opinion doesn't matter, and
that's always how they dismiss unpopular opinions. Well, Barkley was
not only a players, one of the great players of
his time in the NBA, one of my favorite players
to watch when he was playing for the Sixers and
the Suns and not so much the Rockets, but Barkley
(06:23):
was a top level player and he's saying this stuff
and it's fury furiating the players of today, and so
the modern media they're not they're not holding people accountable
and all that stuff. And players from Barkley's generation, they
took a lot of shrapnel and Charles and charges merely
pointing out the zeitgeist of today. That's that's what's going
(06:46):
on to that. They they had thicker skin on his day.
They were just they were just wired differently. And while
a lot of people today who, oh, it's better now
because you let your emotions out in the public, And okay,
the modern sports media is a self licking ice cream cone.
That's what it is. That's soft serve. Just about everyone
(07:07):
is looking to be friends with the players. They want
to hang out together after the games and go to
the club looking for access now. Furthermore, some have said
the argument is that social media is different and Charles
Barkley and Michael Jordan and players or that generation, that's
the game changer. Those guys didn't have to deal with that.
(07:28):
The modern athlete they have it harder than previous generations
because of the social network and do you buy or sell?
Do you buy or sell that it's measurably harder on
today's players because of things like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
So I reject that I am selling that and I'll
(07:49):
tell you why. The tools have changed. The technology has changed,
but the problem is not different. And it goes back
to that phrase which we've heard off and on that
time is a flat circle. Everything we have done or
will do, we'll do over and over and over again
(08:11):
forever that the actors on the stage that we're living
right now, and we'll all be dead and there'll be
people after us and they'll do the same crap that
we did. The tools are a little different. But for example,
back in the Bronze Age, when Barkley was playing in Jordan,
people read these things called newspapers. They mattered, they were
big deal, and they watched television in huge numbers. So
(08:36):
that's where the crowd was. That was where the criticism was.
The tools are different, the object is the same, and
if you're hypersensitive and letting people see your emotion, it's
actually easier to hide in a bunker from social media.
You just don't download the app. They're just apps, that's all.
(08:59):
They are, just apps. It is possible to live a healthy,
wholesome life without the apps. And that's on you. Like
I understand human nature, and that's a big part of it.
You can't help yourself. You have to download the apps,
and if you need it because of marketing, then just
(09:21):
hire a social media team. These top level players make
so much money, they've got money to burn, and you
can hire some social media advisor to handle your interactions
by being baa boo. Of course, that's easier said than done.
The matrix appeals to the nagging human curiosity, and curiosity
killed the cat, and you have to visit the curiosity
(09:43):
shop and peek into the looking glass and you cannot
avoid but to take a bite out of snow White's
poisoned apple, that magic blood red apple that will send
its victim into the sleeping curse when bitten. The olden
day players that didn't have the social media apps, but
(10:03):
they did have the newspapers which had the same readership. Again,
that's why I thought people the crowd's gone from the
newspaper to the social media. It's a little more watered down,
but still the megaphone is the megaphone. Art last thing here.
So what did you think of Kevin Durant's response, Yes,
(10:25):
Durant escalating things with Charles Barkley is he responded to
a clip which we were going to play, But I
guess we didn't get it of Barkley saying his things.
But here's the response from Kevin Durant. He went on
social media and if Barkley had said again that Durant
was very sensitive and was part of the generation who
(10:48):
think he can't you know, can't be criticized and all that.
So Durant decided, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna respond,
I would like a nice response. And his response, which
was on brand because he was upset before. Remember, Berkley
had called Durant a bus rider and that that was
(11:12):
a bit of a problem, not the bus driver, of
the bus rider. And so Kevin Durant could not but
bite his tongue. He had to issue a response, and
it was your typical standard I don't know, I'm not
going to listen to you. I'm not gonna respect you,
you know that kind of thing. It was that nonsense.
And what did I think of Durant's response that he
(11:35):
always is plugged in? Durant is always locked in. He's
got his metal detector combing the sandy beach, looking for
the gold ring, looking for the silver. In Katie's case,
it's social media. He's always searching his name out, always
on his toes. He's like a panther on the prowl.
(11:58):
Very cautious. Extra caution. By the way, if you want
to see today's NBA generation summed up in one shining moment,
that would be Kyrie Irving. We talked about this earlier
in the show, but Kyrie Irving at the Hornets Mavericks
game in Charlotte on Sunday, Irving stopped the game, complained
to the ref. The official walks over and points a
(12:20):
finger at some Jamoke in the crowd who was busting
Kyrie's chops. And then, of course what happened is a
bunch of security goons went over and the referee and
they had the fan removed for heckling the anti Semitic
loving Kyrie Irving. Very cride worthy, and Irving has done
(12:42):
that multiple time. Same with Durant Lebron, Russell Westbrook. And
they don't even realize they're so obtused, they don't realize
how bad a look that is, that that is just dreadful.
You don't see it very often. In the other words,
It's mostly an NBA thing, and the NBA player, for
(13:04):
whatever reason, is the softest of the soft and they
just they just can't handle it. And the NBA's got
their fan Code of conduct and because of because the
players are driving the mister Softy truck and that's the
business of the NBA. And so I love that Barkley
came out and ranted and raved, and Barkley in this
(13:27):
interview again talked about his mortality. Many comments from Barkley
recently about we're tality now some of the other stuff
that we stayed away from because I can't do it everything.
But Barkley also unloaded as a college basketball commentator. He
said college basketball, the whole setup in college basketball a
(13:52):
travesty and a disgrace. He said, he said the college
game is a travesty. In his disgrace, I'm so mad
now about how we can mess up something so beautiful.
So this is another thing. Well, this is where Barkley
lost it because he's complaining about the nil deals and
the players getting paid and all that stuff, and he said,
(14:12):
we can't pay all these players. But isn't Barkley the
guy that bragged about how much money he got to
attend Auburn, Like he's done that multiple times, So what's
up with that? It is the Bennet Maller Show. If

(15:38):
at Alive from the Tirack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller, the midnight Walker, right, so, he says,
Kevin Durant has never driven the boss never will all
his career. He's played on teams with other stars, guys
he could lean on to help him win titles. Pig
Ben has a million nicknames. I think Durant needs one.
(15:59):
How about Kevin and bust passed ran Okay, fine, there
you go. Absolutely. Michael says it's not surprising that the
very same players that need load management cannot handle heckling
or negative comments towards them. There you go, so, Michael
said he enjoyed the monologue. Thank you, Michael. A plus
from Shane in de Moine. He says, I respect Durant
(16:22):
in his rookie season in Seattle, and he seemed humble
that era is over. Great player garbage personality, says shan't
be careful. Shane in de Moine Durant's got a burner account.
He's gonna track you down, burn baby, burn, Alf the
alien old pinter writes, and he says, curiosity isn't the
(16:43):
only thing that killed the cat. If today's players or
that sense it is, they can take a page out
of the book of pickle sensitive people and mute the naysayers.
And for some reason, Alf's got a photo of Eddie here.
I don't know why that. I go that Eddie ammuted you. Matt,
(17:04):
moving man, Matt with the mobile Mallard Billboard says A
plus on the monologue, ben talking about the softies of
gen Z and the millennials. They can't handle the truth. KD,
he says, is a fake tough guy and as always
f al Tubic doing it live moving Man, Matt Highways
(17:24):
and byways of North America. Well, it's not all of
gen Z and the millennials, it's just the athletes here
that they're embarrassing everybody who's in that generation, Like, what
are you doing? Come on? JD, and KC says that
is an A plus On the Mallard monologue, Benjamin the
Slim Reaper is a cry baby. The dude ken ball,
(17:44):
but he is a big cry baby. I like the
new generation of players, new cry babies. He says, planes.
There you go. He said a word I'm not allowed
to say. I'll use the whoosification. He used a different
word which we're not not able to say. I would
say some calls. It is a call in show. Also,
the NFL owners voting on something that was today. They're
(18:04):
running on something today that is very taboo, had been
taboo for a while. Angry Bill is up next from
the Sunshine State, although he very rarely has sunshine. Hello,
Angry Bill, what about a nine year old girl? Answer
that question? Oh it's okay to say, what about a
nine year old girl? Now? When I was on the
on screen radio you cut me off. Then it's not
(18:26):
on screen radio. We found out you got you got
on the air, and that's it. We hung up on you.
A bunch of garbage. Bunch of garbage. File a complaint.
How about that? You You are so prejudiced against me,
it's unbelievable. I'm practiced. I'm prejudiced against you. I put
you on there. You should have been banned six years ago.
(18:47):
You should have been banned. What are you talking about?
What for? What you say? For what you say. I
don't say nothing wrong. I don't where you know racist. Yes,
you've got to be kidding me. I'm a radio you
gotta be kidding. I cleaned my white sheet once a month,
(19:07):
once a month, I know. But I'm bumping. Let's let's
let's get out of the important stuff. But thank god
baseball's here. I'm tired about Duran, I'm tired about Lebron
James's foot or all this stuff they're talking about the
football signing, this guy from Baltimore, all the complaint. You're
ready for baseball. You like those wholesome baseball stories, like
(19:28):
that story over the weekend at the Dodger Royals game
in Arizona, when the dog got the ball. You like
stories like that, right, You like when a dog gets
a home run ball. You like that. Well, she didn't
mind when she caught the ball, my dog. You were
so turned on the dog got a ball, angry Bill.
You're like, oh my god, that's like the perfect species
(19:48):
right there. It's amazing. We couldn't make it. We couldn't
make it home. We did it in the back of
the car. How Bella, how's Bella doing? I don't know.
Thank you all right, jeez, Louise angry Bill Manola, I
was going to put Poppy on, but he hung up
long ago. Poppy, so no San Diego State propaganda. I
(20:14):
told you bet, we're gonna ride our architects all the
way to the final four. That's what we're gonna do. Manola.
I saw this. Roberto directed me to this story. The
cost of attending a Major League Baseball game and the
teams that are most likely the price gauge. You a
(20:35):
new study published because it's Opening Day and they knew
this would get a lot of attention. And it turns
out that of all thirty MLB teams, the price says
here for a Dodger game, the third highest, third highest,
behind only the Padres and the Rockies and the Texas
(20:56):
Rangers home opener against the Phillies. I guess this is
just for opening night, yeah, opening the price of an
opening day ticket, because usually the Red Sox are up
there and they're usually pretty high. They must be on
the road to start the year. I think, maybe I
don't yeah, probably living at home, I don't know, but
there you go. I saw there was a report that
said the Oakland Athletics were one of the five most
(21:17):
profitable teams in baseball last year, so they got rid
of all the players you've ever heard of in Oakland
and then raised the prices of everything, so they didn't
want people to go because they want to move the
team to Vegas and they want to build a ballpark
right on the strip in Vegas. So can you can
go see Otanian child for an average price of forty dollars,
(21:40):
which is yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you go to
an Angel game, they'll let you pitch the fifth inning,
so you get that as an added bonus. Not only
you go to the game, you can you know, throw
out the pitch in the fifth inning. It's a lot
of fun. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hi,
(22:01):
this is Jay Glazer. And you may know me for
the world of football or fighting or even shows like
HBO's Ballers. Well you don't know is for my entire life,
I have lived in something I refer to as the
gray depression anxiety. So now I'm coming out with a
new podcast, Unbreakable, a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer
where each week, while we talk about mental health. I
(22:22):
hope to describe it, give it words. Listen to Unbreakable
with Jay Glazer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts. So this is a classic quote,
a classic quote from the NFL. We go back in
the hot tub time machine to the year twenty sixteen.
(22:45):
Twenty sixteen, so seven years ago, and the topic at hand,
this is twenty sixteen, and Roger Goodell was asked about gambling.
He said, we remain very much opposed to gambling on sports.
(23:07):
We want to make sure we're doing what's right for
the game. Close quote was Roger Goodell in twenty sixteen.
Well later today, yes, later today, in the Valley of
the Sun, they assume the Commissioner of the NFL will
be on hand, that very same Roger Goodell. And that's
just a softcoree. There have been so many quotes that
(23:29):
Goodell has given over the years about the boogeyman gambling
and now you're concerned about it. Well, later today, NFL
owners will be voting on having sportsbooks go live in
stadiums on game day, so you can go and have
in game betting and all that, and you can go
(23:50):
to the book although most of these things are done
mobilely now on like the DraftKings app and things like that.
But they're like, yeah, yeah, we're we're gonna have some stadiums,
are I know our arenas. In basketball, there's sports books
already in existence, but football is a different animal, and
the owners will be voting on a later today when
(24:11):
the sun rises here in Arizona, they'll be voting on
the existence of sports books inside NFL stadiums that be
open on game day. Let's go to the phones and

Hello and welcome. It's our name, but four hour four
of our radio show, the Audio Magic. Well, he'll be
the determining factor whether it's audio magic or not. But
you can't go round, can't go wrong with the round
mound of remound. How do you appraise Charles Barkley? Charles Barkley,
(00:24):
in a sixty minutes interview a fluff piece, giving his
take on this modern generation of ball players, in particular
Kevin Durant buy or sell that it's measurably harder on
today's players because of Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. And what
did you think of Kevin Durant's response to Charles Barkley
(00:47):
talk about that and more? Right now? It is our
number four here. It is softy mix soft That's what
this guy is. Well God, In the beginning of another
hour of the Ben Mallers Show, We are in the
air everywhere, fellow shareholders, as we pour honey in the
(01:13):
ear coast to coast, border to border in beyond on
the vast and staggeringly powerful microphones of fs are emanating
live from the Splish as we splitched flash the time away.
We are broadcasting live from the Tirac dot Com studios
ti iraq dot com. We'll help you get there and
(01:36):
unmatched election fast, free shipping, free road hazard protection and
over ten thousand recommended installers. Ti iraq dot com The
Way tire buying should be just a few days away
from the opening of baseball. Major League Baseball's opening day
later this week, send about that the Final four is
now set and the NFL owners meetings are taking place
(01:59):
later today. They begin in the Valley of the Sun.
So we're talking NBA. What let me explain our leave
this hour does come from pro bouncy ball, but it's
someone we actually like. In pro bouncy ball. The round
Mound of Rebound has chimed in on a number of topics,
including the state of college basketball today and a whole
(02:22):
lot more. But for our purposes, Charles Barkley delivered another sermon,
Sir Charles or what did Charles do? Now, let me
set this up for us. So Charles was featured on
a show that my parents loved. It's still on the air.
I don't think many people watch it these days, called
sixty Minutes, and they just do features like fifteen minute
(02:43):
features on random people who are of importance, politics, culture, sports,
occasionally and so Charles Barkley, Sir Charles, entered the fray
and he was featured, and he delivered a few haymakers
at one younger player in particular. And this thing was
(03:05):
mostly a fluff piece, which is fine. I like Barkley,
so whatever, that's what they do. But for our purposes,
there was the meat on the bone. And if you
didn't hear this or see it, and perhaps you missed it,
as Warner Wolf would say, let's go to the audiotape,
here's Charles Barkley, Sir Charles commenting on Kevin Durant. He said, quote,
(03:26):
he's very sensitive, great player. Barkley said of Durant, he's
part of the generation who thinks he can't be criticized.
He's never looked in the mirror and says, man, is
that a fair criticism? And then when Barkley was asked
by the random generic reporter on sixty minutes whether modern
(03:48):
players were more sensitive than Barkley's generation, he replied, that
would be an understatement. Close quote from Charles Barkley. I
guess we don't have that audio, unfortunately, So the question,
how do you praise Charles Barkley's take on this generation
so I wholeheartedly agree. I wholeheartedly agree with that. I've
(04:13):
got ice cream cone, flat circle, and metal detector, and
we will combine all of these things together now to
kick off the festivities here Charles Barkley, and I wish
you could hear, but he's not speaking nonsense like facts
or facts Kevin Durant, who he wass asked about. Kevin
(04:35):
Durant is one of the faces of this generation of
the NBA and one of the great paper machee stars
of our time. These guys are talented players, but generally
are lacking the toughness of having rhino skin, meaning they
are unable to process the criticism. And I hear from
(04:56):
a lot of people, well, people are better today because
they're soft, because they get offended by everything. And I'm like,
I roll my eyes. I'm like, is that really better?
It's society better when you go around playing the victim
all the time and you're like, everyone's out there get me,
and I'm mom hurt by this. I don't think it is,
but maybe I'm becoming old. I think that's that's a
(05:17):
badge of demerit not a badge of credit. And so
when Barkley went on his little rant there, like, yeah,
most of the NBA media, it's turned over and they're fanboys.
They are these dopes masquerading reporters. They throw verbal bouquets,
they slap or slap or slobber all over the players.
(05:39):
You get a mix of jock sniffers and toe suckers.
It's nauseating. And Charles in charge who actually played in
the NBA. So that's the thing that always drives players
crazy because Barkley played and he says the things that
people who didn't play say, and that really annoys the
players because they're they're not that bright, a lot of
(06:01):
these players, and so their default position is, well, you
didn't play the game, so your opinion doesn't matter, and
that's always how they dismiss unpopular opinions. Well, Barkley was
not only a players, one of the great players of
his time in the NBA, one of my favorite players
to watch when he was playing for the Sixers and
the Suns and not so much the Rockets, but Barkley
(06:23):
was a top level player and he's saying this stuff
and it's fury furiating the players of today, and so
the modern media they're not they're not holding people accountable
and all that stuff. And players from Barkley's generation, they
took a lot of shrapnel and Charles and charges merely
pointing out the zeitgeist of today. That's that's what's going
(06:46):
on to that. They they had thicker skin on his day.
They were just they were just wired differently. And while
a lot of people today who, oh, it's better now
because you let your emotions out in the public, And okay,
the modern sports media is a self licking ice cream cone.
That's what it is. That's soft serve. Just about everyone
(07:07):
is looking to be friends with the players. They want
to hang out together after the games and go to
the club looking for access now. Furthermore, some have said
the argument is that social media is different and Charles
Barkley and Michael Jordan and players or that generation, that's
the game changer. Those guys didn't have to deal with that.
(07:28):
The modern athlete they have it harder than previous generations
because of the social network and do you buy or sell?
Do you buy or sell that it's measurably harder on
today's players because of things like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
So I reject that I am selling that and I'll
(07:49):
tell you why. The tools have changed. The technology has changed,
but the problem is not different. And it goes back
to that phrase which we've heard off and on that
time is a flat circle. Everything we have done or
will do, we'll do over and over and over again
(08:11):
forever that the actors on the stage that we're living
right now, and we'll all be dead and there'll be
people after us and they'll do the same crap that
we did. The tools are a little different. But for example,
back in the Bronze Age, when Barkley was playing in Jordan,
people read these things called newspapers. They mattered, they were
big deal, and they watched television in huge numbers. So
(08:36):
that's where the crowd was. That was where the criticism was.
The tools are different, the object is the same, and
if you're hypersensitive and letting people see your emotion, it's
actually easier to hide in a bunker from social media.
You just don't download the app. They're just apps, that's all.
(08:59):
They are, just apps. It is possible to live a healthy,
wholesome life without the apps. And that's on you. Like
I understand human nature, and that's a big part of it.
You can't help yourself. You have to download the apps,
and if you need it because of marketing, then just
(09:21):
hire a social media team. These top level players make
so much money, they've got money to burn, and you
can hire some social media advisor to handle your interactions
by being baa boo. Of course, that's easier said than done.
The matrix appeals to the nagging human curiosity, and curiosity
killed the cat, and you have to visit the curiosity
(09:43):
shop and peek into the looking glass and you cannot
avoid but to take a bite out of snow White's
poisoned apple, that magic blood red apple that will send
its victim into the sleeping curse when bitten. The olden
day players that didn't have the social media apps, but
(10:03):
they did have the newspapers which had the same readership. Again,
that's why I thought people the crowd's gone from the
newspaper to the social media. It's a little more watered down,
but still the megaphone is the megaphone. Art last thing here.
So what did you think of Kevin Durant's response, Yes,
(10:25):
Durant escalating things with Charles Barkley is he responded to
a clip which we were going to play, But I
guess we didn't get it of Barkley saying his things.
But here's the response from Kevin Durant. He went on
social media and if Barkley had said again that Durant
was very sensitive and was part of the generation who
(10:48):
think he can't you know, can't be criticized and all that.
So Durant decided, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna respond,
I would like a nice response. And his response, which
was on brand because he was upset before. Remember, Berkley
had called Durant a bus rider and that that was
(11:12):
a bit of a problem, not the bus driver, of
the bus rider. And so Kevin Durant could not but
bite his tongue. He had to issue a response, and
it was your typical standard I don't know, I'm not
going to listen to you. I'm not gonna respect you,
you know that kind of thing. It was that nonsense.
And what did I think of Durant's response that he
(11:35):
always is plugged in? Durant is always locked in. He's
got his metal detector combing the sandy beach, looking for
the gold ring, looking for the silver. In Katie's case,
it's social media. He's always searching his name out, always
on his toes. He's like a panther on the prowl.
(11:58):
Very cautious. Extra caution. By the way, if you want
to see today's NBA generation summed up in one shining moment,
that would be Kyrie Irving. We talked about this earlier
in the show, but Kyrie Irving at the Hornets Mavericks
game in Charlotte on Sunday, Irving stopped the game, complained
to the ref. The official walks over and points a
(12:20):
finger at some Jamoke in the crowd who was busting
Kyrie's chops. And then, of course what happened is a
bunch of security goons went over and the referee and
they had the fan removed for heckling the anti Semitic
loving Kyrie Irving. Very cride worthy, and Irving has done
(12:42):
that multiple time. Same with Durant Lebron, Russell Westbrook. And
they don't even realize they're so obtused, they don't realize
how bad a look that is, that that is just dreadful.
You don't see it very often. In the other words,
It's mostly an NBA thing, and the NBA player, for
(13:04):
whatever reason, is the softest of the soft and they
just they just can't handle it. And the NBA's got
their fan Code of conduct and because of because the
players are driving the mister Softy truck and that's the
business of the NBA. And so I love that Barkley
came out and ranted and raved, and Barkley in this
(13:27):
interview again talked about his mortality. Many comments from Barkley
recently about we're tality now some of the other stuff
that we stayed away from because I can't do it everything.
But Barkley also unloaded as a college basketball commentator. He
said college basketball, the whole setup in college basketball a
(13:52):
travesty and a disgrace. He said, he said the college
game is a travesty. In his disgrace, I'm so mad
now about how we can mess up something so beautiful.
So this is another thing. Well, this is where Barkley
lost it because he's complaining about the nil deals and
the players getting paid and all that stuff, and he said,
(14:12):
we can't pay all these players. But isn't Barkley the
guy that bragged about how much money he got to
attend Auburn, Like he's done that multiple times, So what's
up with that? It is the Bennet Maller Show. If
you want to comment on any of this, you can
join us here at eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven ninety nine six sixty three six nine.
(14:33):
Later this hour, we have Mallard Militia feud. You can
join me on Twitter at Ben Maller. Later today, when
the sun rises in the Valley of the Sun in Arizona,
NFL owners will be voting on a very tamboo topic,
something that was completely outlawed for years, and they'll be
voting on it later today. What is it? You'll find out.
(14:55):
We'll get to that and we will do it next.

He can follow at a Raider Underscore Rob twenty four
for we don't know what he was trying to say
(15:38):
at Alive from the Tirack dot Com Fox Sports Radio Studios.
It's Ben Maller, the midnight Walker, right, so, he says,
Kevin Durant has never driven the boss never will all
his career. He's played on teams with other stars, guys
he could lean on to help him win titles. Pig
Ben has a million nicknames. I think Durant needs one.
(15:59):
How about Kevin and bust passed ran Okay, fine, there
you go. Absolutely. Michael says it's not surprising that the
very same players that need load management cannot handle heckling
or negative comments towards them. There you go, so, Michael
said he enjoyed the monologue. Thank you, Michael. A plus
from Shane in de Moine. He says, I respect Durant
(16:22):
in his rookie season in Seattle, and he seemed humble
that era is over. Great player garbage personality, says shan't
be careful. Shane in de Moine Durant's got a burner account.
He's gonna track you down, burn baby, burn, Alf the
alien old pinter writes, and he says, curiosity isn't the
(16:43):
only thing that killed the cat. If today's players or
that sense it is, they can take a page out
of the book of pickle sensitive people and mute the naysayers.
And for some reason, Alf's got a photo of Eddie here.
I don't know why that. I go that Eddie ammuted you. Matt,
(17:04):
moving man, Matt with the mobile Mallard Billboard says A
plus on the monologue, ben talking about the softies of
gen Z and the millennials. They can't handle the truth. KD,
he says, is a fake tough guy and as always
f al Tubic doing it live moving Man, Matt Highways
(17:24):
and byways of North America. Well, it's not all of
gen Z and the millennials, it's just the athletes here
that they're embarrassing everybody who's in that generation, Like, what
are you doing? Come on? JD, and KC says that
is an A plus On the Mallard monologue, Benjamin the
Slim Reaper is a cry baby. The dude ken ball,
(17:44):
but he is a big cry baby. I like the
new generation of players, new cry babies. He says, planes.
There you go. He said a word I'm not allowed
to say. I'll use the whoosification. He used a different
word which we're not not able to say. I would
say some calls. It is a call in show. Also,
the NFL owners voting on something that was today. They're
(18:04):
running on something today that is very taboo, had been
taboo for a while. Angry Bill is up next from
the Sunshine State, although he very rarely has sunshine. Hello,
Angry Bill, what about a nine year old girl? Answer
that question? Oh it's okay to say, what about a
nine year old girl? Now? When I was on the
on screen radio you cut me off. Then it's not
(18:26):
on screen radio. We found out you got you got
on the air, and that's it. We hung up on you.
A bunch of garbage. Bunch of garbage. File a complaint.
How about that? You You are so prejudiced against me,
it's unbelievable. I'm practiced. I'm prejudiced against you. I put
you on there. You should have been banned six years ago.
(18:47):
You should have been banned. What are you talking about?
What for? What you say? For what you say. I
don't say nothing wrong. I don't where you know racist. Yes,
you've got to be kidding me. I'm a radio you
gotta be kidding. I cleaned my white sheet once a month,
(19:07):
once a month, I know. But I'm bumping. Let's let's
let's get out of the important stuff. But thank god
baseball's here. I'm tired about Duran, I'm tired about Lebron
James's foot or all this stuff they're talking about the
football signing, this guy from Baltimore, all the complaint. You're
ready for baseball. You like those wholesome baseball stories, like
(19:28):
that story over the weekend at the Dodger Royals game
in Arizona, when the dog got the ball. You like
stories like that, right, You like when a dog gets
a home run ball. You like that. Well, she didn't
mind when she caught the ball, my dog. You were
so turned on the dog got a ball, angry Bill.
You're like, oh my god, that's like the perfect species
(19:48):
right there. It's amazing. We couldn't make it. We couldn't
make it home. We did it in the back of
the car. How Bella, how's Bella doing? I don't know.
Thank you all right, jeez, Louise angry Bill Manola, I
was going to put Poppy on, but he hung up
long ago. Poppy, so no San Diego State propaganda. I
(20:14):
told you bet, we're gonna ride our architects all the
way to the final four. That's what we're gonna do. Manola.
I saw this. Roberto directed me to this story. The
cost of attending a Major League Baseball game and the
teams that are most likely the price gauge. You a
(20:35):
new study published because it's Opening Day and they knew
this would get a lot of attention. And it turns
out that of all thirty MLB teams, the price says
here for a Dodger game, the third highest, third highest,
behind only the Padres and the Rockies and the Texas
(20:56):
Rangers home opener against the Phillies. I guess this is
just for opening night, yeah, opening the price of an
opening day ticket, because usually the Red Sox are up
there and they're usually pretty high. They must be on
the road to start the year. I think, maybe I
don't yeah, probably living at home, I don't know, but
there you go. I saw there was a report that
said the Oakland Athletics were one of the five most
(21:17):
profitable teams in baseball last year, so they got rid
of all the players you've ever heard of in Oakland
and then raised the prices of everything, so they didn't
want people to go because they want to move the
team to Vegas and they want to build a ballpark
right on the strip in Vegas. So can you can
go see Otanian child for an average price of forty dollars,
(21:40):
which is yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you go to
an Angel game, they'll let you pitch the fifth inning,
so you get that as an added bonus. Not only
you go to the game, you can you know, throw
out the pitch in the fifth inning. It's a lot
of fun. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Ben Maller Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific. Hi,
(22:01):
this is Jay Glazer. And you may know me for
the world of football or fighting or even shows like
HBO's Ballers. Well you don't know is for my entire life,
I have lived in something I refer to as the
gray depression anxiety. So now I'm coming out with a
new podcast, Unbreakable, a mental health podcast with Jay Glazer
where each week, while we talk about mental health. I
(22:22):
hope to describe it, give it words. Listen to Unbreakable
with Jay Glazer on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts. So this is a classic quote,
a classic quote from the NFL. We go back in
the hot tub time machine to the year twenty sixteen.
(22:45):
Twenty sixteen, so seven years ago, and the topic at hand,
this is twenty sixteen, and Roger Goodell was asked about gambling.
He said, we remain very much opposed to gambling on sports.
(23:07):
We want to make sure we're doing what's right for
the game. Close quote was Roger Goodell in twenty sixteen.
Well later today, yes, later today, in the Valley of
the Sun, they assume the Commissioner of the NFL will
be on hand, that very same Roger Goodell. And that's
just a softcoree. There have been so many quotes that
(23:29):
Goodell has given over the years about the boogeyman gambling
and now you're concerned about it. Well, later today, NFL
owners will be voting on having sportsbooks go live in
stadiums on game day, so you can go and have
in game betting and all that, and you can go
(23:50):
to the book although most of these things are done
mobilely now on like the DraftKings app and things like that.
But they're like, yeah, yeah, we're we're gonna have some stadiums,
are I know our arenas. In basketball, there's sports books
already in existence, but football is a different animal, and
the owners will be voting on a later today when
(24:11):
the sun rises here in Arizona, they'll be voting on
the existence of sports books inside NFL stadiums that be
open on game day. Let's go to the phones and
spin cycle Regina is in Minnesota. Hello spin Cycle Regina. Hello,
than then are you well? I don't know. I'm not
(24:32):
