Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. It's a Dame
time special. Dame Lillard new report says he will not
will not accept the trade to the Celtics, believe it
or not. Also, Adam Silver is worried about John Morant
getting in more trouble with extra free time. Is that legit?
(00:25):
Also was Nicola Jokic's postgame speech the gasoline that powered
the Nuggets to run over the Miami Heat in the
latest NBA Finals game. We'll talk about that as well.
We have Mallard of the third degree and some other
fun wait to hear this call by sir scratch off.
(00:46):
All of it coming your way right now here. It
is our number two. Not feeling green, not so much well, dum.
In the beginning of a nuh hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, talk mates,
(01:07):
as we say, grab a tree, right, grab a tree,
can celebrate? Why not?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's the end of the week. Yeah, I know you're excited.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond. On the
mast and herculeanly powerful microphones of FSR amnating live from
the way, learning the hard way. We are broadcasting live
from the ti Raq dot com, Studios, tire raq dot com,
(01:36):
the uh They'll help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection at over ten
thousand recommended in stars tyraq dot com the way tirebink
should be. So our lead this hour, coming from the
Oregon Trail, we have a mantra we go where the
story takes us and where the news of the day
(01:56):
takes us, And so I did not anticipate this would
be something we would discuss, but here we are, and
it figures to be the story of stories once we
get into the pro Bouncy Ball silly season, which begins
immediately after the NBA Finals and after the Ja Morant suspension.
More on that in a minute. But the future of
Dame Lillard. Now, I know you're very concerned. You're staying
(02:20):
up late, you can't sleep, you have insomnia because you're
worried about where Damian Lillard is going to live. Where's
he going to go see the eye doctor and the
dentist and get his dry cleaning and all that. So
as the finals continue, we're in the middle of that.
The Lillard sweepstakes are heating up. Now. If you've not
(02:41):
been following along, in chances are you have a life,
so you have not. We are hearing that the Miami Heat,
the Brooklyn Nets, and the Philadelphia seventy six ers are
the most likely trade destinations for the unhappy Trailblazer. The
biggest story, though, is not those teams. It's a report
(03:07):
on where Lillard does not want to play. Now that's
the story.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The Bleacher Report.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Tells us that it is pretty safe to say that
Damian Lillard will not accept the trade to the Celtics. Ooh,
that's the losing locker room. That's a good story. I
don't even know it's true. It's a good story. Somebody
named Chris Haynes, who we are told as an NBA insider,
(03:39):
and he is a reporting that Lillard is quote not
doing Boston man all right. So that is what's known
as red meat in a sports talk radio den. And
we're hungry, and here we go. So the question, Dame,
(04:00):
according to this report, will not accept a trade to
the Celtics. Believe it or not. So I am agnostic
on this. I am agnostic on this. I've got Jigsaw,
Camp Pendleton and Pulitzer Prize.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And we'll talk about some other things as well. But
we're gonna start with this Lillard story.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So to tip off here, Damian Lillard does not have
a vote. All right, I'm gonna check my notes here.
He does not have a vote. Without a no trade clause,
all he can do is raise a hullabaloo. That's it.
That's all he can do. Lillard is thirty three, he
has one more year on his contract, and then he's
(04:43):
got a player option which is worth chump change forty
eight million dollars. But Dame time is winning time. So
everyone says, we all enjoy watching Dame Lillard in close
games late in the game, and lately he's been sulking
because the Blazers blow. And here's the issue, though, Boston
(05:07):
is the antithesis of what's going on in Portland. They
have now been to four conference finals, the Celtics, and
an NBA finals over the last seven years. That seems
like it's pretty good. I didn't play in the NBA.
I don't know. Maybe that's not, but I think that's
pretty good, not great. They didn't win anything. That's pretty good.
(05:29):
So my diagnosis, we'll see if you agree with me
on this. Dame Lithard to Boston, that is the missing
jigsaw puzzle piece. Lillard and that Celtic roster on the
parque would go together like fish and chips, and in
(05:49):
a parallel dimension, his play would be infectious. And ask
for the Boston thing. I don't want to play there.
And there's racist Listen, there are scumbags in every city
I've traveled all over the United States. There are complete
losers in every city. Right, there's also good people in
(06:10):
every city. And Boston is a very liberal location. And
over the last generation they have more college students enrolled
per capita when compared with other major metropolitan areas and
all that. Now, the fans have high standards. Do they
have those? Yes, if you win in that region, you
(06:32):
are a false God? Is that true or false? That
is true?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do they put you on a pedestal?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yes? Do they canonize you? Absolutely? In fact, you only
have to have a couple of good years for the Celtics.
They'll retire your number. They retire everyone's number. Who's any
good that plays with the Celtics. You're worshiped. So my
advice to Damiel Lillard is to send a text. Send
a nice text over to Kevin Garnett for more information.
(06:58):
Kg I remember years ago, because I was bloviating shockingly
right here on these same Fox Sports radio microphones. As
my career has reached the Peter principle, my highest level
of incompetence, and I have stayed here. But Kevin Garnett
wanted nothing to do with Boston. He wanted to play
(07:18):
in a warm weather city. He wanted to play where
everyone else wants to play, Miami or La and the
Celtics at that time were not that good. He was
in Minnesota and to Boston. And now after they had
that confetti party, the toughest championship ever won an NBA history,
overcoming the Doc Rivers curse. Kevin Garnett is entombed in
(07:41):
the Valley of the Kings with the Celtics, and Dame
Lillard would have a reproduction of that play if he
were to end up with the Celtics, and the Blazers
would come out great in this because they would likely
get Jalen Brown and some draft picks, which is all
they really care about there. And the move here for
Lillard is to say you don't want to play in Boston,
(08:04):
and then the Celtics will overcompensate to give you even
more goodies to get you to come to Boston. So
you play hard to get right. It's like the dating game,
isn't that what they teach? And women play hard to
get guys like that more. Well, that's what you gotta do,
so it's a win win. Now moving on to the
next chapter of this three part Mallard monologue extravaganza. So
(08:26):
Adam Silver, half man, half lizard, person commissioner of the NBA.
Adam Silver popped up right here where I work on
Fox Sports Radio. He was chatting with my teammate Dan Patrick,
who has no idea who I am, but Dan Patrick
had him on the show and in a very meaty quote,
(08:48):
Adam Silver said that he is concerned about John Morant,
the grizzly gun toting guard, possibly adding to his problems
with its more free time if he is indeed suspended
for the balance of next NBA season. Now, Silver, the
Bleeding Heart commissioner, says that he wants to put Ja
(09:11):
Morant in a special program while he is persona non
grata from the NBA. So the question here, what is
your perspective on Adam Silver's worry about Jah Morant getting
in more trouble with extra free time. So my initial
(09:32):
thought on this is it is actually accurate that too
much free time is actually bad for you. I know,
I go crazy. I gotta take vacation because I'm forced.
My arm is literally twisted behind my back, I am blindfolded,
there is a knife at my throat. My wife does
that to get me to take time off, and I normally,
(09:53):
after like a couple of days, I'm like, oh God,
I'm going crazier. The other problems though, I'm a bit
of a workaholic, but the other problems are dwelling on issues. Right,
depression sets in your mind starts wandering, which is a
very dangerous thing, very dangerous thing, Ja Morant. If you
gave him the season off, he could end up the
new president of the NRA. He loves guns that much, right,
(10:17):
if he suspended all season. So the solution, if you
have a problem, what's the solution. So the solution here
is a nice extended stay at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside,
just north of San Diego or Paris Island in South
Carolina military boot camp. As a friend of the show,
(10:38):
the Great Tim mcdarby, big fan of the show, he
got all worked up. He was listening to the Odd
Couple earlier, and they were talking about this, and he said,
he sent me a rant. He's like, Ben, Yeah, I
need to just blow some steam off, Tim said, And
he said, Ja Morant needs structure, Okay, So and I
don't disagree with it. I don't disagree with that. So
he needs structure. So military boot camp, basic training, Life
(10:59):
sci Mandatory, book Club, and Idiot's Guide to Making Good Decisions.
Methinks that jaws prefrontal cortex is not fully developed. The
problem solving part of the brain is weak. Now. It
is nice, though, of Adam Silver to confess that the
(11:20):
ray Key treatment was a total sham. Remember when the
NBA said, well, let me tell you some John Moran's
getting therapy in Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, he's getting.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
He's getting therapy in Florida. Yes, that was palm healing
with universal energy transferred through the palm of the healer
to the patient to encourage physical healing. Or as my
friend Jayscoop would say, bullpucky. Now flipping the page on
(11:49):
that last thing. Here the Trident Mallard monologue. So the
Nuggets and the Nets, I am told, will resume activity tonight.
In Game four, of the Finals. Nikola Jokic is being
celebrated for fueling the last win the other night with
(12:10):
a fiery postgame speech following Game.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Two that carried over into Game three.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
With breathless reporting, we are told that Jeff Green, Contavious,
Colbo Pope, and DeAndre Jordan called out their teammates for
being dogs, lackadaisical, lethargic and all that. And then, in
a dramatic made for a Disney movie, the Joker was
compelled to address his comrades in arms and using brevity,
(12:40):
he was able to get his point across. You see,
NICOLEA Jokic. He gave them this pep talk that inspired them.
So was Nicola Jokic's postgame speech the gasoline that powered
the Nuggets to victory. Ah. Now I'm rolling my eye.
(13:01):
This contrives stuff is next level. And I would like
to remind you, and I say this every year the
reactionary NBA scribes should win a Pulitzer Prize in poetry.
Here are some of the stories in this NBA Files.
After Game one, the NBA scribes told us the heat
(13:21):
were cooked. In Game two, the storyline was Miami had
figured out how to stop Nikolea Jokic, they had to
cheat code that was in game two. After the game
game three, it is now that that win was powered
by a speech from the Serbian Stallion and all of
(13:42):
this is nice.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Warm fertilizer is what that is.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Denver played better because they sucked at a time you
cannot suck. That was the wake up call, not because
of some speech from Jokic or Michael Malone. Remember, there
is no such thing as momentum in sports. It does
not exist. It's something that dumbs sports media. People like
(14:10):
to repeat past performance is no guarantee of future success.
Whether you invest in a fortune five hundred company, a
block of real estate in South Beach or Beverly Hills,

(15:16):
get to that and we will do it next.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Can't wait.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
A Mallard of the third degree coming up later.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Lame jokes are next hour and they are extra lame,
super size edition of lame jokes coming up next hour.
And I do not believe weed Man will ever come
back to the show because his phone, his Obama phone
is still down for the count. Late Night Drug tester writes,
I think the reason Damian Lillard vetoed a trade to
(16:38):
Boston is when they win the title, he would have
to ride in a duck boat.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, that's a little goofy the duck boat. That's a
that's a pure I'd say it's a pure Boston thing.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
They do have duck boats in other cities, but that's
of the last twenty years, Boston has become synonymous with
duck boats. Supermarket Steve writes in he says, Iowa Sam
knows to play Sandstorm coming back from the next break,
I miss Roberto. Well, yeah, Iowa Sam. We have a
tradition on the show that this hour in the next block,
(17:15):
coming into the next block. We play the song Sandstorm,
and then you play a bunch of weird drops underneath
the song let It, let It breathe a little bit,
put some drops in there. That's kind of how we've
done things for a long time on the show. Yeah. Yeah,
there's a new sheriff in town. I get that. I
(17:36):
have as I have noticed since Roberto quit the show
that all those malard themed songs have not been played.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I have noticed that. I guess Roberto did he take
those with him.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I don't. I don't know. He might. But we're gonna
have to get a whole bunch of new songs now
because Roberto is in most every one of those songs.
So we'll have to get the songwriters to redo those songs.
And I guess you'll have to wait until we find it.
Maybe it's maybe Iowa Sam was in here full time.
You never know, it might be one of the other guys.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
But once we get the permanent, permanent person, then.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We'll have to have those songs redone and attic at
the beach, rights In says, my biggest takeaway from the
Mala monologue this hour is that Adam Silver is a
member of the Lizard person cabal. Disagree on dame the Boston,
New York better narrative. He'd be a historic figure in
(18:28):
the nation's largest city if he brought them a ring.
He says, also shout out Oceanside, California. Yes, I spent
many a day back back years ago going through Oceanside,
through down down to San Diego and got a speeding ticket.
There was a I'm sure it's still there's a big
speed trap just north of Camp Pendleton. There's not a
(18:51):
lot going on there until you get to a town
called San Clemente, and the cops there love to give
speeding tickets on that stretch of highway. Ferg Dog right,
Since says Ben, it doesn't matter if Dan Patrick knows
who you are or not, because I know who you are.
There's no other show I'd rather listen to while playing
(19:12):
Super Mario. Well, thank you. That means means a lot
there more of a fan of Luigi.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
But that's that's fine. That's that's fine as well.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
We'll take some calls here. Eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox is the number eight seven seven nine nine
six six three sixty nine, and we will say hello,
to sir scratch Off. Hello, sir scratch Off in Arkansas?

Speaker 3 (20:57):

Speaker 1 (21:00):
He's chill. We just hang out and shoot the ship.
All right, Well, that's good. You're on the radio.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
I don't think you can say that.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
But that's all right, you know why not. That's why
we have a dump button, right, yes, all right, very nice.
It'll be on the podcast. Any other curse words you'd
like to say, sir, No, no, no, that's okay.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
I mean he comes up here, we shoot the breathe
plate and tickets stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, that's what you meant. That's the that's the ticket.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Yeah.

And and how busy is it in the middle of
the night.
Speaker 1 (21:26):

All right? Hey Ben, Yes, we just talked to Drew Iowa. Sam. Yeah,

Hamp Oh, you're aware of the the come and Go brand?
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Yes, k U, m and go, Come and go, Come

He blew me off at a hotel near La x.
Is there a pigley Wiggly also somewhere near the the
come and Go? Is that?
Speaker 5 (22:44):
No, we don't have piggy wigglies in Iowa.

Oklahoma's softball team is champions. Let's go to the audio
tape and our teammate Chris.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Plank oh swagging of this.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
The Oklahoma Sooners or national champions. They mop Jordi Paul
outside the circle, dog pile. Sooners Dynasty mode activated, Championship
number seven, secured, unapologetic, undisputed, and in the end, undeniable.
(24:51):
It's a dynasty in the dirt and it's located.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
In Norman, Oklahoma.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
The Sooners have gone back to back and for the
seventh time in program history, Oklahoma is national champions.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah, Chris blank, I was all off the cuff. Didn't
have any of that written down.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Last time he was that excited was when Arnie Spanier
got a pick, right.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
That's the last time he was excited.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
That was a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
That was a long time.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
First three paint in sports since what the Yankees? Is
that the first time?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
It's a good question. I don't know, okay, but fifty
three wins in a row for the softball team they
finished the year.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Do you get a ring? Does he get a ring
for that? Is there a ring? I would say something.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Out of sixty one and one was their record this year,
so kind of kind of expected to win, and then
they did. So congrats to them, and congrats to our
friend Chris Blank.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that's very cool. You know Chris for a long time.
He's worked here for many years. You know. I once
ate at Denny's down the street there at four in
the morning with Chris Plank and we It was after
a weekend show. Chris was in town and we went
down to the Denny's and we were people watching the
(26:06):
the prostitutes who were going there and eat after they
did their job, you know, Friday and Saturday night, they'd
go there and have the eggs over easy there the
Denny's Grand Slam. After that.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I actually actually lived across the street from that Denny's.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh, the one at the hotel.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yes, and there's a hotel there, and they would film
a lot of adult movies in that hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, of course it's a lot of craft services, is
the Dennys.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah, lots of good stuff going on over there. Never
in my apartment, but you know, like I would watch
these beautiful women go up the into the hotel. I'm like,
what's going on over there?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
About twenty minutes they'd walk out. But you know a
little longer than that, but yeah, yeah, it was the that.
And then the the pimps would go in there too,

go back and work with Arnie Spaniard again now that
that's over? I believe so, yes, that is his punishment.
He will go back and work with Arnie Spanyard. It

Sam's listening. So here is the yeah Zion tantalizing taboo.
Oh god, this story is so good. I was sitting
on the toilet and I was looking at these these
latest updates on Zion and I was it was rival.
(27:53):
So here's have you guys, been following this story at all.
This is so good.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I wait for Ben Mallin to let me know in
all my tantalizing.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, So I got three updates on Zion Williamson.
The first one the porn star Mariah Mills, the one
that blew the whistle and other things on Zion here,
don't I don't know, don't I don't know for sure,
But she, Eddie a good news. She's gotten a job
(28:22):
offer for five hundred thousand dollars. A adult website has
offered Mariah Mills five hundred thousand dollars half a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
She does not have to go to poundtown with anyone.
For five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
The company has offered her an in house play by
play announcers position. They would like her to broadcast all
of Zion Williamson's games for the upcoming season.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
They're offering your five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Now, these are always gag offers, Eddie, but I think
she should take it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And here's why.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Zion likely will miss another season, so she will get
five hundred thousand dollars and not have to call any games.
That's a very good point. Well, he's very active in
the bedroom. He's not very active on the court. I know.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
It is so so good.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Uh. The more dirt has been spilled by Mariah Mills.
There was another Twitter burst where she sent out all
kinds of screenshots of conversations that Zion had had with
her on the text she kept all the receipts and
(29:41):
really entertaining reading. Really just it's like a smutty book
that you know, when I was younger, women used to
love those like smutty romance novels. But this is like
real life stuff. And she's she like, went into great detail.
It was so good, and she said, what was I
your African sex freak fantasy? In one message, she sent
(30:03):
the the screenshot of him asking her to get her
hair in certain certain style. He said that was good motivation,
he said, of course, not motivation to get him to
play basketball, but I was a good motivation for other things.
And then she she went next level here saying that
(30:28):
she said, do you remember when you wanted me to
have a threesome with white girls to spice up the
old sex life even more, Zion? And then she says
she even found another third third woman. I guess not
third one. Third person in, you know, third person in
(30:50):
for the little rendezvous. And then Zion, I guess guy
he got cold feet, said that he didn't want to Uh. Yeah,
I didn't want to share. Apparently doesn't a porn star
kind of sh It's kind of like community property, right,
I mean she's kind of sharing with everybody. Uh So
(31:11):
that was that was pretty good. She then got upset
because Zion had said that he was very proud of
her because she made her own money, you know, doing
porn and having.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I feel all the way down on my plumps.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I mean, it's so there is so much here. It is. Oh,
it's so good.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It is so juicy.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Man, oh man, oh man. She says, you booked everyone
in the same hotel in New Orleans. I told you
to switch my hotel after I kept seeing she said,
hose in uh in my suite? She said, uh? Then
uh making whoopee uh with with Zion. I mean, it's
(31:53):
so blieved a lot of it. We can't even we
can't even comment. She talks about how he couldn't perform
in certain positions because of his injury. She got that
and the other story, which is great. There's we talked
about this we just mentioned this porn star said that
she lined up another woman. Well, now another woman has
(32:15):
come out of the closet, if you will, and Zion
is now being called out by a third different woman
for a love triangle. This is like I'm telling you,
this is daytime TV in the nineties. It's awesome. God,
it's so good. So it starts out with a woman
saying she's got the bun in the oven for Zion.
(32:37):
Then the porn star freaks out. Now a third lady
and that is the third lady in She is now upset.
Oh what's next? What is next? How can it get
even better? So good? Still, my favorite part is this
story story from yesterday where uh, the woman the porn
(33:03):
star said that Zion told her that that was his
rehab to get back on the court, was to go
to make whoopee was the rehab. That's that's wonderful. We
have Malard of third degree. We'll get to that. Here's
the Insta trivia. Blank was the first overall pick to

The time, but that was outstanding.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Uh yeah, it was very excited when Albert Culo hit

Mallard of the Third Degree. Time now though for the
install trivia, and here it is the instant trivia, a
blatant attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer,
a little bit longer to the show. Blank was the
first number one overall pick to fail to reach the
(35:26):
major leagues. That's the question. What's the answer, And let's
see does anyone know the answer? Don Stanhous guessed by
Miguel on fire Zion's bang Bus. Guess by the Eddie
Burner account. Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield, clearly cheating again,
got it right? Bullet Bill guessed by Ferg Dog Lizzo's

Brian Taylor of the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Brian Taylor of the Yankees, A finanswer.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
No, the correct answer.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Steve Chilcott of the.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Mets nineteen sixty six. He was a catcher, drafted number
one overall. He never made the Major League's first time
that happen. Here we go, it's maller. How about that?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Grilled coo Elo.
Speaker 8 (36:32):
Recent reports say that James Harden is torn between two teams,
staying with the seventy six ers and making a return
to the Houston Rockets. Ben, where do you think Harden
ends up?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't believe it. I believe the story a week ago,
the breathless reporting that he wanted to go back to Houston.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
He was done in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
He should the only time he was at the very
top was in Houston as far as his ability, and
he should go back to the right. They retired his
number at the Jiggle Joint in Houston.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Next Now, it seems like every year we hear rumors
of a Damian Lillard trade and yet it never happens.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
Lillard still has not requested a trade from the Trail Blazers,
but his former teammates C. J. McCullum thinks we've seen
the last of Dame in Portland. Ben Is he right?
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So I have it the odds at fifty five forty
five that Lillard is going to stay in Portland. He's
trying to get out though, but I still think the
Blazers are gonna gonna gonna attempt to hold on him next.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently said that he sees a
pathway forward to keeping the Bears at Soldier Field. What
do you think ultimately happens for the Bears.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Well, I've been to Chicago. I have family in Chicago.
It is the most corrupt city with politicians, and that
is saying something in the United States. So yes, it's
all about finagling tax payer money. They'll go anyway, they'll
go to Peoria, but it is still on table. How
do we know, Koop
Hello and welcome. It's our number two. It's a Dame
time special. Dame Lillard new report says he will not
will not accept the trade to the Celtics, believe it
or not. Also, Adam Silver is worried about John Morant
getting in more trouble with extra free time. Is that legit?
(00:25):
Also was Nicola Jokic's postgame speech the gasoline that powered
the Nuggets to run over the Miami Heat in the
latest NBA Finals game. We'll talk about that as well.
We have Mallard of the third degree and some other
fun wait to hear this call by sir scratch off.
(00:46):
All of it coming your way right now here. It
is our number two. Not feeling green, not so much well, dum.
In the beginning of a nuh hour of the Ben
Malor Show. We are in the air everywhere, talk mates,
(01:07):
as we say, grab a tree, right, grab a tree,
can celebrate? Why not?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It's the end of the week. Yeah, I know you're excited.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond. On the
mast and herculeanly powerful microphones of FSR amnating live from
the way, learning the hard way. We are broadcasting live
from the ti Raq dot com, Studios, tire raq dot com,
(01:36):
the uh They'll help you get there and unmatched selection,
fast free shipping, free road hazard protection at over ten
thousand recommended in stars tyraq dot com the way tirebink
should be. So our lead this hour, coming from the
Oregon Trail, we have a mantra we go where the
story takes us and where the news of the day
(01:56):
takes us, And so I did not anticipate this would
be something we would discuss, but here we are, and
it figures to be the story of stories once we
get into the pro Bouncy Ball silly season, which begins
immediately after the NBA Finals and after the Ja Morant suspension.
More on that in a minute. But the future of
Dame Lillard. Now, I know you're very concerned. You're staying
(02:20):
up late, you can't sleep, you have insomnia because you're
worried about where Damian Lillard is going to live. Where's
he going to go see the eye doctor and the
dentist and get his dry cleaning and all that. So
as the finals continue, we're in the middle of that.
The Lillard sweepstakes are heating up. Now. If you've not
(02:41):
been following along, in chances are you have a life,
so you have not. We are hearing that the Miami Heat,
the Brooklyn Nets, and the Philadelphia seventy six ers are
the most likely trade destinations for the unhappy Trailblazer. The
biggest story, though, is not those teams. It's a report
(03:07):
on where Lillard does not want to play. Now that's
the story.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The Bleacher Report.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Tells us that it is pretty safe to say that
Damian Lillard will not accept the trade to the Celtics. Ooh,
that's the losing locker room. That's a good story. I
don't even know it's true. It's a good story. Somebody
named Chris Haynes, who we are told as an NBA insider,
(03:39):
and he is a reporting that Lillard is quote not
doing Boston man all right. So that is what's known
as red meat in a sports talk radio den. And
we're hungry, and here we go. So the question, Dame,
(04:00):
according to this report, will not accept a trade to
the Celtics. Believe it or not. So I am agnostic
on this. I am agnostic on this. I've got Jigsaw,
Camp Pendleton and Pulitzer Prize.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
And we'll talk about some other things as well. But
we're gonna start with this Lillard story.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
So to tip off here, Damian Lillard does not have
a vote. All right, I'm gonna check my notes here.
He does not have a vote. Without a no trade clause,
all he can do is raise a hullabaloo. That's it.
That's all he can do. Lillard is thirty three, he
has one more year on his contract, and then he's
(04:43):
got a player option which is worth chump change forty
eight million dollars. But Dame time is winning time. So
everyone says, we all enjoy watching Dame Lillard in close
games late in the game, and lately he's been sulking
because the Blazers blow. And here's the issue, though, Boston
(05:07):
is the antithesis of what's going on in Portland. They
have now been to four conference finals, the Celtics, and
an NBA finals over the last seven years. That seems
like it's pretty good. I didn't play in the NBA.
I don't know. Maybe that's not, but I think that's
pretty good, not great. They didn't win anything. That's pretty good.
(05:29):
So my diagnosis, we'll see if you agree with me
on this. Dame Lithard to Boston, that is the missing
jigsaw puzzle piece. Lillard and that Celtic roster on the
parque would go together like fish and chips, and in
(05:49):
a parallel dimension, his play would be infectious. And ask
for the Boston thing. I don't want to play there.
And there's racist Listen, there are scumbags in every city
I've traveled all over the United States. There are complete
losers in every city. Right, there's also good people in
(06:10):
every city. And Boston is a very liberal location. And
over the last generation they have more college students enrolled
per capita when compared with other major metropolitan areas and
all that. Now, the fans have high standards. Do they
have those? Yes, if you win in that region, you
(06:32):
are a false God? Is that true or false? That
is true?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Do they put you on a pedestal?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yes? Do they canonize you? Absolutely? In fact, you only
have to have a couple of good years for the Celtics.
They'll retire your number. They retire everyone's number. Who's any
good that plays with the Celtics. You're worshiped. So my
advice to Damiel Lillard is to send a text. Send
a nice text over to Kevin Garnett for more information.
(06:58):
Kg I remember years ago, because I was bloviating shockingly
right here on these same Fox Sports radio microphones. As
my career has reached the Peter principle, my highest level
of incompetence, and I have stayed here. But Kevin Garnett
wanted nothing to do with Boston. He wanted to play
(07:18):
in a warm weather city. He wanted to play where
everyone else wants to play, Miami or La and the
Celtics at that time were not that good. He was
in Minnesota and to Boston. And now after they had
that confetti party, the toughest championship ever won an NBA history,
overcoming the Doc Rivers curse. Kevin Garnett is entombed in
(07:41):
the Valley of the Kings with the Celtics, and Dame
Lillard would have a reproduction of that play if he
were to end up with the Celtics, and the Blazers
would come out great in this because they would likely
get Jalen Brown and some draft picks, which is all
they really care about there. And the move here for
Lillard is to say you don't want to play in Boston,
(08:04):
and then the Celtics will overcompensate to give you even
more goodies to get you to come to Boston. So
you play hard to get right. It's like the dating game,
isn't that what they teach? And women play hard to
get guys like that more. Well, that's what you gotta do,
so it's a win win. Now moving on to the
next chapter of this three part Mallard monologue extravaganza. So
(08:26):
Adam Silver, half man, half lizard, person commissioner of the NBA.
Adam Silver popped up right here where I work on
Fox Sports Radio. He was chatting with my teammate Dan Patrick,
who has no idea who I am, but Dan Patrick
had him on the show and in a very meaty quote,
(08:48):
Adam Silver said that he is concerned about John Morant,
the grizzly gun toting guard, possibly adding to his problems
with its more free time if he is indeed suspended
for the balance of next NBA season. Now, Silver, the
Bleeding Heart commissioner, says that he wants to put Ja
(09:11):
Morant in a special program while he is persona non
grata from the NBA. So the question here, what is
your perspective on Adam Silver's worry about Jah Morant getting
in more trouble with extra free time. So my initial
(09:32):
thought on this is it is actually accurate that too
much free time is actually bad for you. I know,
I go crazy. I gotta take vacation because I'm forced.
My arm is literally twisted behind my back, I am blindfolded,
there is a knife at my throat. My wife does
that to get me to take time off, and I normally,
(09:53):
after like a couple of days, I'm like, oh God,
I'm going crazier. The other problems though, I'm a bit
of a workaholic, but the other problems are dwelling on issues. Right,
depression sets in your mind starts wandering, which is a
very dangerous thing, very dangerous thing, Ja Morant. If you
gave him the season off, he could end up the
new president of the NRA. He loves guns that much, right,
(10:17):
if he suspended all season. So the solution, if you
have a problem, what's the solution. So the solution here
is a nice extended stay at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside,
just north of San Diego or Paris Island in South
Carolina military boot camp. As a friend of the show,
(10:38):
the Great Tim mcdarby, big fan of the show, he
got all worked up. He was listening to the Odd
Couple earlier, and they were talking about this, and he said,
he sent me a rant. He's like, Ben, Yeah, I
need to just blow some steam off, Tim said, And
he said, Ja Morant needs structure, Okay, So and I
don't disagree with it. I don't disagree with that. So
he needs structure. So military boot camp, basic training, Life
(10:59):
sci Mandatory, book Club, and Idiot's Guide to Making Good Decisions.
Methinks that jaws prefrontal cortex is not fully developed. The
problem solving part of the brain is weak. Now. It
is nice, though, of Adam Silver to confess that the
(11:20):
ray Key treatment was a total sham. Remember when the
NBA said, well, let me tell you some John Moran's
getting therapy in Florida.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, he's getting.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
He's getting therapy in Florida. Yes, that was palm healing
with universal energy transferred through the palm of the healer
to the patient to encourage physical healing. Or as my
friend Jayscoop would say, bullpucky. Now flipping the page on
(11:49):
that last thing. Here the Trident Mallard monologue. So the
Nuggets and the Nets, I am told, will resume activity tonight.
In Game four, of the Finals. Nikola Jokic is being
celebrated for fueling the last win the other night with
(12:10):
a fiery postgame speech following Game.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Two that carried over into Game three.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
With breathless reporting, we are told that Jeff Green, Contavious,
Colbo Pope, and DeAndre Jordan called out their teammates for
being dogs, lackadaisical, lethargic and all that. And then, in
a dramatic made for a Disney movie, the Joker was
compelled to address his comrades in arms and using brevity,
(12:40):
he was able to get his point across. You see,
NICOLEA Jokic. He gave them this pep talk that inspired them.
So was Nicola Jokic's postgame speech the gasoline that powered
the Nuggets to victory. Ah. Now I'm rolling my eye.
(13:01):
This contrives stuff is next level. And I would like
to remind you, and I say this every year the
reactionary NBA scribes should win a Pulitzer Prize in poetry.
Here are some of the stories in this NBA Files.
After Game one, the NBA scribes told us the heat
(13:21):
were cooked. In Game two, the storyline was Miami had
figured out how to stop Nikolea Jokic, they had to
cheat code that was in game two. After the game
game three, it is now that that win was powered
by a speech from the Serbian Stallion and all of
(13:42):
this is nice.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Warm fertilizer is what that is.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Denver played better because they sucked at a time you
cannot suck. That was the wake up call, not because
of some speech from Jokic or Michael Malone. Remember, there
is no such thing as momentum in sports. It does
not exist. It's something that dumbs sports media. People like
(14:10):
to repeat past performance is no guarantee of future success.
Whether you invest in a fortune five hundred company, a
block of real estate in South Beach or Beverly Hills,
it doesn't matter. It does not matter. This is the

Can't wait.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
A Mallard of the third degree coming up later.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Lame jokes are next hour and they are extra lame,
super size edition of lame jokes coming up next hour.
And I do not believe weed Man will ever come
back to the show because his phone, his Obama phone
is still down for the count. Late Night Drug tester writes,
I think the reason Damian Lillard vetoed a trade to
(16:38):
Boston is when they win the title, he would have
to ride in a duck boat.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Yeah, that's a little goofy the duck boat. That's a
that's a pure I'd say it's a pure Boston thing.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
They do have duck boats in other cities, but that's
of the last twenty years, Boston has become synonymous with
duck boats. Supermarket Steve writes in he says, Iowa Sam
knows to play Sandstorm coming back from the next break,
I miss Roberto. Well, yeah, Iowa Sam. We have a
tradition on the show that this hour in the next block,
(17:15):
coming into the next block. We play the song Sandstorm,
and then you play a bunch of weird drops underneath
the song let It, let It breathe a little bit,
put some drops in there. That's kind of how we've
done things for a long time on the show. Yeah. Yeah,
there's a new sheriff in town. I get that. I
(17:36):
have as I have noticed since Roberto quit the show
that all those malard themed songs have not been played.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I have noticed that. I guess Roberto did he take
those with him.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
I don't. I don't know. He might. But we're gonna
have to get a whole bunch of new songs now
because Roberto is in most every one of those songs.
So we'll have to get the songwriters to redo those songs.
And I guess you'll have to wait until we find it.
Maybe it's maybe Iowa Sam was in here full time.
You never know, it might be one of the other guys.
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
But once we get the permanent, permanent person, then.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
We'll have to have those songs redone and attic at
the beach, rights In says, my biggest takeaway from the
Mala monologue this hour is that Adam Silver is a
member of the Lizard person cabal. Disagree on dame the Boston,
New York better narrative. He'd be a historic figure in
(18:28):
the nation's largest city if he brought them a ring.
He says, also shout out Oceanside, California. Yes, I spent
many a day back back years ago going through Oceanside,
through down down to San Diego and got a speeding ticket.
There was a I'm sure it's still there's a big
speed trap just north of Camp Pendleton. There's not a
(18:51):
lot going on there until you get to a town
called San Clemente, and the cops there love to give

tape and our teammate Chris.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Plank oh swagging of this.
Speaker 7 (24:30):
The Oklahoma Sooners or national champions. They mop Jordi Paul
outside the circle, dog pile. Sooners Dynasty mode activated, Championship
number seven, secured, unapologetic, undisputed, and in the end, undeniable.
(24:51):
It's a dynasty in the dirt and it's located.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
In Norman, Oklahoma.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
The Sooners have gone back to back and for the
seventh time in program history, Oklahoma is national champions.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Yeah, Chris blank, I was all off the cuff. Didn't
have any of that written down.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Last time he was that excited was when Arnie Spanier
got a pick, right.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
That's the last time he was excited.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
That was a long time ago.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
That was a long time.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
First three paint in sports since what the Yankees? Is
that the first time?
Speaker 4 (25:25):
It's a good question. I don't know, okay, but fifty
three wins in a row for the softball team they
finished the year.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Do you get a ring? Does he get a ring
for that? Is there a ring? I would say something.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Out of sixty one and one was their record this year,
so kind of kind of expected to win, and then
they did. So congrats to them, and congrats to our
friend Chris Blank.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that's very cool. You know Chris for a long time.
He's worked here for many years. You know. I once
ate at Denny's down the street there at four in
the morning with Chris Plank and we It was after
a weekend show. Chris was in town and we went
down to the Denny's and we were people watching the
(26:06):
the prostitutes who were going there and eat after they
did their job, you know, Friday and Saturday night, they'd
go there and have the eggs over easy there the
Denny's Grand Slam. After that.
Speaker 4 (26:18):
I actually actually lived across the street from that Denny's.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh, the one at the hotel.
Speaker 4 (26:23):
Yes, and there's a hotel there, and they would film
a lot of adult movies in that hotel.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, of course it's a lot of craft services, is
the Dennys.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah, lots of good stuff going on over there. Never
in my apartment, but you know, like I would watch
these beautiful women go up the into the hotel. I'm like,
what's going on over there?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
About twenty minutes they'd walk out. But you know a
little longer than that, but yeah, yeah, it was the that.
And then the the pimps would go in there too,
all dressed up. It was it's like Halloween over there
every weekend. I don't know, it still is a it's
quite interesting, quite interesting there, fun times. But congratulations to
(27:09):
our colleague Chris Plank. Does that mean he's got to
go back and work with Arnie Spaniard again now that
that's over? I believe so, yes, that is his punishment.
He will go back and work with Arnie Spanyard. It

Sam's listening. So here is the yeah Zion tantalizing taboo.
Oh god, this story is so good. I was sitting
on the toilet and I was looking at these these
latest updates on Zion and I was it was rival.
(27:53):
So here's have you guys, been following this story at all.
This is so good.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
I wait for Ben Mallin to let me know in
all my tantalizing.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
All right, So I got three updates on Zion Williamson.
The first one the porn star Mariah Mills, the one
that blew the whistle and other things on Zion here,
don't I don't know, don't I don't know for sure,
But she, Eddie a good news. She's gotten a job
(28:22):
offer for five hundred thousand dollars. A adult website has
offered Mariah Mills five hundred thousand dollars half a million dollars.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
She does not have to go to poundtown with anyone.
For five hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
The company has offered her an in house play by
play announcers position. They would like her to broadcast all
of Zion Williamson's games for the upcoming season.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
They're offering your five hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Now, these are always gag offers, Eddie, but I think
she should take it.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
And here's why.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Zion likely will miss another season, so she will get
five hundred thousand dollars and not have to call any games.
That's a very good point. Well, he's very active in
the bedroom. He's not very active on the court. I know.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
It is so so good.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Uh. The more dirt has been spilled by Mariah Mills.
There was another Twitter burst where she sent out all
kinds of screenshots of conversations that Zion had had with
her on the text she kept all the receipts and
(29:41):
really entertaining reading. Really just it's like a smutty book
that you know, when I was younger, women used to
love those like smutty romance novels. But this is like
real life stuff. And she's she like, went into great detail.
It was so good, and she said, what was I
your African sex freak fantasy? In one message, she sent
(30:03):
the the screenshot of him asking her to get her
hair in certain certain style. He said that was good motivation,
he said, of course, not motivation to get him to
play basketball, but I was a good motivation for other things.
And then she she went next level here saying that
(30:28):
she said, do you remember when you wanted me to
have a threesome with white girls to spice up the
old sex life even more, Zion? And then she says
she even found another third third woman. I guess not
third one. Third person in, you know, third person in
(30:50):
for the little rendezvous. And then Zion, I guess guy
he got cold feet, said that he didn't want to Uh. Yeah,
I didn't want to share. Apparently doesn't a porn star
kind of sh It's kind of like community property, right,
I mean she's kind of sharing with everybody. Uh So
(31:11):
that was that was pretty good. She then got upset
because Zion had said that he was very proud of
her because she made her own money, you know, doing
porn and having.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I feel all the way down on my plumps.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I mean, it's so there is so much here. It is. Oh,
it's so good.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
It is so juicy.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Man, oh man, oh man. She says, you booked everyone
in the same hotel in New Orleans. I told you
to switch my hotel after I kept seeing she said,
hose in uh in my suite? She said, uh? Then
uh making whoopee uh with with Zion. I mean, it's
(31:53):
so blieved a lot of it. We can't even we
can't even comment. She talks about how he couldn't perform
in certain positions because of his injury. She got that
and the other story, which is great. There's we talked
about this we just mentioned this porn star said that
she lined up another woman. Well, now another woman has
(32:15):
come out of the closet, if you will, and Zion
is now being called out by a third different woman
for a love triangle. This is like I'm telling you,
this is daytime TV in the nineties. It's awesome. God,
it's so good. So it starts out with a woman
saying she's got the bun in the oven for Zion.
(32:37):
Then the porn star freaks out. Now a third lady
and that is the third lady in She is now upset.
Oh what's next? What is next? How can it get
even better? So good? Still, my favorite part is this
story story from yesterday where uh, the woman the porn
(33:03):
star said that Zion told her that that was his
rehab to get back on the court, was to go
to make whoopee was the rehab. That's that's wonderful. We
have Malard of third degree. We'll get to that. Here's
the Insta trivia. Blank was the first overall pick to
(33:27):

the first overall pick to ever fail to reach the

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Kt KT worked here a long time at Fox Sports Radio,
and I think that's his greatest contribution Fox Sports Radio.
It was the single greatest thing he ever said all
those years talking in the overnight show here for all.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
The time, but that was outstanding.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
Uh yeah, it was very excited when Albert Culo hit
a home run and he just kind of screamed gibberish.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
I five, you know, he sounded like Marcel and Brooklyn.
Speaker 4 (34:54):
Yeah, now Lie from the Tyrock dot Com Fox Sports
Radio Studio.

Speaker 1 (35:05):
Mallard of the Third Degree. Time now though for the
install trivia, and here it is the instant trivia, a
blatant attempt to get you to listen a little bit longer,
a little bit longer to the show. Blank was the
first number one overall pick to fail to reach the
(35:26):
major leagues. That's the question. What's the answer, And let's
see does anyone know the answer? Don Stanhous guessed by
Miguel on fire Zion's bang Bus. Guess by the Eddie
Burner account. Rod the Ambassador of Bakersfield, clearly cheating again,
got it right? Bullet Bill guessed by Ferg Dog Lizzo's
(35:47):
Dietitian from Bean boot Maker Bob Ben It has to
be Iowa Sam, but only if he's listening.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
That's from the Cowboy Killer. Who else do we have?
Speaker 1 (35:56):
Page down? Page down? Brian Lee Finley from the Malar
Burner account. That's his answer, and short on time, Eddie,
do you have an answer? Eddie?
Speaker 4 (36:07):
Brian Taylor of the Yankees.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Brian Taylor of the Yankees, A finanswer.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
No, the correct answer.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Steve Chilcott of the.
Speaker 1 (36:15):
Mets nineteen sixty six. He was a catcher, drafted number
one overall. He never made the Major League's first time
that happen. Here we go, it's maller. How about that?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
To the third degree, this is one big Ben gets.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Grilled coo Elo.
Speaker 8 (36:32):
Recent reports say that James Harden is torn between two teams,
staying with the seventy six ers and making a return
to the Houston Rockets. Ben, where do you think Harden
ends up?
Speaker 1 (36:42):
I don't believe it. I believe the story a week ago,
the breathless reporting that he wanted to go back to Houston.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
He was done in Philadelphia.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
He should the only time he was at the very
top was in Houston as far as his ability, and
he should go back to the right. They retired his
number at the Jiggle Joint in Houston.
Speaker 8 (36:59):
Next Now, it seems like every year we hear rumors
of a Damian Lillard trade and yet it never happens.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (37:05):
Lillard still has not requested a trade from the Trail Blazers,
but his former teammates C. J. McCullum thinks we've seen
the last of Dame in Portland. Ben Is he right?
Speaker 1 (37:15):
So I have it the odds at fifty five forty
five that Lillard is going to stay in Portland. He's
trying to get out though, but I still think the
Blazers are gonna gonna gonna attempt to hold on him next.
Speaker 8 (37:29):
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson recently said that he sees a
pathway forward to keeping the Bears at Soldier Field. What
do you think ultimately happens for the Bears.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
Well, I've been to Chicago. I have family in Chicago.
It is the most corrupt city with politicians, and that
is saying something in the United States. So yes, it's
all about finagling tax payer money. They'll go anyway, they'll
go to Peoria, but it is still on table. How
do we know, Koop
