Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello and welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's our number one, our number one of the radio
show podcast. And before we tell you what's coming up
on the podcast, a programming note if you missed it,
the Fifth Hour podcast went up earlier this week.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Now why did.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It go up earlier this week? Because the great Joey Chestnut,
the greatest athlete in the world, made it a rare
and appropriate appearance on the Fifth Hour podcast that is
available to download right now. You can listen to that,
but I'd like you to listen to our radio show first,
and we start with.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Pro bouncy ball.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Dame Lillard's agent says that his client only wants to
play in Miami.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
How will that message play around? The NBA will discuss that.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Also, Dwight Howard thinks that he was better in his
prime than Nikola Jokic is right now, who do you
think is better?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Is it even close?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
And the Spurs Victor Wemboniyama's security team assaulting committing battery
on Britney Spears. Whose side are you on in this
back and forth? We'll get to that and a whole
lot more right now here. It is our number one
trying to figure it all.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Out, aren't we all trying to figure it all out.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Welcome and the beginning of another hour of the Ben
Malor Show, another edition of the show. As we are
in the air everywhere, raining.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Down as we bark at.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
The Moon COASTU Coast, border, the border and beyond on
the mast and magically powerful microphones of fsre emmating live from.
Speaker 1 (01:50):

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Buying should be. And hope you're well.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
We are back at it our lead this hour coming
from pro bouncey Ball. Who am I gonna sit here
and break down the summer league? No, but we head
to a place We've gone down quite a bit recently,
the Oregon Trail, our obligatory Mallard monologue on the Dame Train,
not Dame time, the Dame Train. Now, since Damian Lillard
(02:36):
requested a trade from Portland, our little sporting world has
been set of fire. Rumors have been swirling about his
future and where he might end up now. On Thursday night,
Lillard addressed the never ending stream of consciousness the updates
every two Bit Insider has provided with league sources and whatnot,
(03:00):
and he responded Lillard to the next steps via the
social media saying vaguely, quote I'm amazed.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Close quote now.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
When he was asked why, why is he amazed, Lillard
responded at how people could know so much and so
little at the same time.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Close quote.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Now, that comes in after his agent, the man that
is paid to represent him, chimed in, if you didn't
see what he had to say, maybe not. That was
the story that spread like wildfire all over the sporting world.
So Lillard's agent, who I assume makes more money than
me and more money than you, Lillard's agent is telling
rival teams not named Miami Heat that acquiring Lillard's services
(03:51):
would mean you are picking up an unhappy player, and
nobody wants an unhappy player.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Now.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
The guy's name is Aaron Goodwin, who must be good
at his job to have Lillard as a client. That's
his name, and repping Dame Lillard is his game now,
Goodwin confirming the speculation.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
He did not deny it. When asked, he said he did.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Did call multiple teams, others reached out to him.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
He said, quote truthfully, he Dame wants to play in Miami. Period.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
So let us discuss now, Dame Lillard's agent saying that
his client only wants to play in Miami, how will
this message play out.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
In the NBA? How would it resonate around the NBA?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
So I've got seizure, irish bull, and toxic and we
will combine all of these things together and we are
going to make a brand news set of tires, which
you can get by the way at tyrack dot com.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
So a.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Dame Lillard, what he should do is texta his agent.
They got to get on the same page here, right,
because the agent is the one that is floating a
lot of the dirt that is flying everywhere, and he
confirmed it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's the thing about it.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Like Lillard seems blown away by all these stories, the
agent was the one that said, yeah, I did it.
And also am I wrong on this? That Lillard has
a as NBA players love to say, and all athletes love.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To say, they have a platform. Yes, so they've got
their own platform.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So why doesn't he get on his platform and just
announce every day, here's what's going on. My agent called
the Miami Heat. The Heat talk to the Blazers, here's
what we're doing. He could do that if you want.
You don't need woes or shams. He can set the
record straight.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
He can give the gospel right, real version of events.
And he's not gonna gonna do that. Right, you air
your dirty laundry.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
But the NBA dominates social media this time of the
year because nobody stays quiet. Now, I do believe nobody
knows anything, but I also know that everyone has loose lips.
It is a condition of being human. People love to gossip,
and the agent here is attempting to push the boundaries.
(06:17):
It's about a seizure, not that kind of Caesar, a
seizure of power. And all it takes is one rogue actor,
one outside the box general manager, to mess up the
best laid plans of mice men and Dame time some
risk taking adventurous executive to do the foolhardy thing, the
(06:40):
thing you shouldn't do at the time you shouldn't do it,
and take a flyer on Dame Lillard, betting that he.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Will not be a bad app well, he will not be.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
A trojan horse, and that you could trade him to
Boston or to the Clippers or somewhere else. And since
he likes playing basketball, he'd show up, he'd played play well,
and he would not have a conniption fit. All right, now,
turning the pitch from that, my man, Dwight Howard, it's
a throwback. We'd go back like thirteen years. Dwight Howard
(07:12):
is making headlines here. He's in Taiwan. I don't know
if he's gonna go back and play there again. He
was playing there the last year or so. But he
still thinks that he is good enough to play for
at least half the teams.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
In the NBA.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
He did an interview recently and Howard said, fifteen to twenty,
there's thirty teams in the Mayby fifteen to twenty teams
could use his services.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Now he's thirty seven years old.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
That wasn't even the most outrageous take from the former
Orlando Starry. Now Dwight Howard believes, here we go, Buckle up,
here we go. Dwight Howard believes that in his prime
he was better than the current MVP Nikola Jokic. I'm
(07:57):
talking about NBA Finals MVP, the Kola Jokic and a
two time MVP in the league itself, Dwight Howard saying that,
and he thinks he's better than Jokic in his prime.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Who do you think is better?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Well, it's nice of Dwight Howard to feed the content machine.
We enjoyed Howard's Lob game with Orlando. I think he's
kind of obviously this is low.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Hanging fruit that Dwight Howard.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
The only wage White Howard is better than the Kola
Jokic in his prime is if you're on a lot
of PCP.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Other than that, I'm gonna go know.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
The joker in this little episode is in Taiwan now.
Dwight Howard's argument is that he did everything without having
a three point shot in his game like Jokic.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He's like he used that.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
He said, listen, everything I did was around the basket,
was mostly Lob's offensive rebounds.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
And he used this.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Broad brush to paint the picture that that made him better.
But on this side of the microphone, that actually helps
push the envelope in favor of Nikola Jokic because his
outside game the moneyball game is a key point of demarcation,
(09:12):
a massive point of demarcation. Dwight Howard's going around like
an Irish bull full of hubris, and he's got all
the self confidence. And I get it, I understand, But
my goodness, Dwight, I will.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Tell you what.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I was around him a fair amount when he played
for the briefly for the Lakers, but he has never
been the sharpest crayon in the box. And I remember
when he played in LA he seemed genuinely offended at
the time because Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith did
a show together and they would rip Dwight because he
(09:45):
didn't play well with the Lakers, and Howard seemed to
think the entire world was watching that show. And there
was a describe by the name of TJ. Simers no
longer ascribe.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
He was fired.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
He sued the La Times, but t J. Simers went
up to I remember as this day. He went up
to Howard explained to him because TJ was on another
one of those shows. He said, no one's watching those shows.
He says, don't worry about who cares what they say.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
No one's watching.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
And Dwight was having none of it. He would not
back down. In his head, he was convinced that everyone
and their uncle was watching those shows, and he's like, no, no,
very small amount of people actually watched that. All right, last,
we're here, so we now head to what many would
say the main event.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Don't bury the lead, my man. All right, well, this
is kind of not the lead.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
But it's a great story the life and times of
Victor Wimba Nyama and his security detail which backhanded a
pop idol from back in the day. If you're old
enough to remember Britney Spears, yeah, if you loved Britney Spears,
you're old. But Britney Spears got backhanded right in the
(10:51):
face Bam pow right outside a restaurant in Vegas. TMZ
had the scoopage. Now, Britney Spears said that Wemby was
wrong when he stated after the fact that she grabbed
him from behind. She claims it was just a friendly
tap on the shoulder. Turns out that Britney Spears is
(11:14):
a fan of wehm Ba Nyama Prima amy more, but
she apparently wanted to wish him well and the spurs
Victor wem Banyama his security team assaulting committing battery on
Britney Spears. Now you've got two differing stories here. Whose
side are you on? Are you on the side of
Wemby or Brittany. So I did not have this on
(11:38):
the possible list of talking points when I came into
the radio station here, but here we are. And my answer,
to quote the legend, it's Britney bitch. That's my answer, right,
that's our girl. We stand with Brittany on this one.
And this was to quote one of her other tunes,
(12:00):
toxic Situation.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I watched some of the.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Clips and some of the stuff online here about the incident,
and this was, to me, the way I saw it,
the textbook example of an over zealous security goon.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Oops, I did it again.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
My guess is that that security guy from the Spurs
probably does this kind of stuff all the time, and
he goes around committing battery.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
It was an overreaction.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
And the thing about this, which is both amusing and disturbing,
is if this had been Jane Doe, not Britney Spears,
but literally a.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Woman named Jane Doe, nothing would have happened. Everything would
have just moved on.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Everyone would have had amnesia and all that stuff the
circus would not have started. But now here we are
under the Big Top and this security guy met his
match with Britney Spears. Now, he obviously didn't know it
was Britney Spears when he did it. But a small
tap on the shoulder does not warrant a slobber knocker
of a backhand to the face. It sounds like Britney
(13:08):
Spears is demanding an apology. Will she get one? Unlikely?
Is she actually going to go forward? Will there be
police charges? It does look like at the most a
misdemeanor battery situation, which is pretty much nothing these days
where you can commit real crimes and not even go
to jail in the modern society in America today. But
(13:29):
what a world when nineteen year old Victor Wembanyama is
surrounded by a group of brutes security people and he's
in a casino. There are few places in this world
that are more secure than a Vegas casino. And the
tail of the tape on this you have a five
(13:49):
foot three, middle aged.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Woman I think Britney Spears is middle aged now and a.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Seven foot four to nineteen year old and in between
some security goon and that's what you got.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
These are some bad actor security meat heads and all that.
I would appear and we'll see if Brittany can take
them down a couple of notches, just a couple of notches.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It is the Ben Mahler Show. Yeah. We we love
good criminal stories.
Speaker 5 (14:20):
I'm all about it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
So if we get a lawsuit or a criminal case,
that would be wonderful. Yeah, all right, it is the
Ben Mahler's Show.

eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Now, I left
(15:49):
something out of the Malord monologue. There was an odd
plot twist to the Britney Spears Victor Wemanyama brew oh haha.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
At the Vegas Casino.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
There's something that seems to be unexplainable that happened, and
we're gonna try to figure it Out'm gonna tell you
what happened, and then we're gonna try to figure out
if it actually happened that way, or if there's more
to the story, and if it did happen this way

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well, it's all about Britney. She's back.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's a time machine, were flashing back when she was
one of the Queen's of music. Midnight Walker writes, Since
says Dame Liard, he wants to play in the Sun.

If it's not Miami, a deal won't get done. Will
Lillard end up where he's hoping to go? Of course
he will players today run the show. He says, ps.
Do you think Britney said, hit me baby one more time?
That's the midnight Walker? Yes, just like that, she's saying.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
It actually is what she did, and it was fast,
and everyone in the hotel applauded.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
They were so happy that she did that.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I love the fact that I just merely promote this
thing threads and several of you regulars on Twitter become triggered.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
I think that's outstanding.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
You are panicked, you are freaking out. Fergnog says, your
customers aren't the hardcore anti elon guys and teenagers and
twenty somethings on threads. I don't even know who's on threads.
It just started like a couple of days ago. Who
the hell even knows who's on there? No idea, I'm
on there.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, Profet's on there, and I'm on there, and I
who cares if.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
It's on Twitter. It's just exactly. This is exploring it.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
It's funny, exactly, and I don't see what the big
deal is and all you guys, I'm not sweitching. Somebody said,
Eddie said he's not. If Twitter dies, he's not gonna
be on social med Ed did you say that Eddie, Yes,
why would you say that? Why would the dumbest that's
the dumbest thing. That's the ultimate Boomers thing to say.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Eddie, I don't care.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I mean, you're in the media business where you have
to go where the customer are That added to imagine
if you were on AOL back in the days, you know,
if AOL dies, I'm done.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I mean, what are you doing, Eddie. You can't be
that guy. You gotta snap out of it.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I really don't care for any of this stuff.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
I don't either, but it's part of the job, at
least for me. Maybe not for you, but for me,
it's part of the job. That's that's the playground. But
I mean, you can't if Twitter dies, come on, every
social media dies. There was one point I was here
at Fox was saying my Space. We were giving out.
I was worrying with karen Ka and we were pouring
my Space and she was like, my Space is huge
(19:17):
and all this and nobody's on there.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
It's dead. It's gone.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
These things they have a lifespan and they die, and
Facebook will die and Instagram will die, and there's always
something new that will pop up.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Remember I'm not but I'm not.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
I'm not going there. I'm not going.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Would you not go there, Eddie?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
When it's part of your job related to customers who
are listeners and that's how we relate anymore.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
I'm totally blanking on it. But there's what's the thing
that the kids do? Now?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
With the thing the kids do a thousand years old?
Speaker 4 (19:47):
My god, I'm not going. I'm never going to do TikTok.
I don't care if the whole world is on TikTok.
I'm not going to TikTok.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
But TikTok doesn't really it's not something wh because Oh
my god. All right, Eddie, you're sounding a dinosaur right now? Okay, dinosaurs?
A are you?
Speaker 1 (20:08):
T rex? Is that who you are? T Rex? Is
that a new nickname? T rex? Oh? My god? You kids?
You know if they get rid of a horse and buggy? Oh,
I'm not going to use one of your little cars.
I will just walk everywhere.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Who's to say that Threads is gonna be the winner
in all this though.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I have no idea, but I'm there just in case.
It's your reparation.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Aund everything and go ahead enjoy that.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Yeah, okay, Oh my god, it's unbelievable. The Bennett's here.
This is an amazing attitude.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You know that if that typewriter goes away, I'm not
gonna use your computer. I'm not doing it. I am
using my typewriter, and you and your kids and your
computers can go to hell. And my rotary phone. Let
me tell you something. My name's Eddie Garcia. I love
my rotary phone. I am I don't care. Wait, you
can text on yourself. No, I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Do you have stock in Meta?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I have no stock in any of these companies. I'm
just saying it blows me away. People like I can't
go there? Who cares.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
It's like, you go there, you see what happens, and
if it's great, you'll stay there, and if not, you know,
you'll go somewhere else. But to say like, I'm not
going there because oh my god, I can't go there.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
It's too much. I mean, what is that?
Speaker 7 (21:24):
I just want to be on the record, is that
I did not expect Ben to be on this side
of the argument, on the side of embrace the new stuff,
instead of being the crouchy guy like like like Eddie
like an It is a little weird, no, but in
this in this world, and I didn't know it was
a while and we've we've changed.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
We used when I in the early days of Fox
Sports Radio, I'm dating myself.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Well, we had a fax machine.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I remember in the nineties we did sports radio, the
Facts of the day and all that crap. Yeah, it's
old school crap that we did. And but you got
to evolve. It's Darwinism. You evolve or you're dead.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
And you got to keep evolving. But uh, like this
is social media stuff. It's like it's I mean, we
had we had the Fox Text Line where people would
text in send text messages in and before we use Twitter.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
So that goes back probably.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
To the to the ots from Fox Sports Rata started
in the year two thousand, end of two thousand through
two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, we use
the text line.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I don't know if you're aware of this.
Speaker 7 (22:24):
I only discovered this the other day by talking with
some of our producers that we have some sort of
like it's not the it's not the call in line,
but it's like a line you can call and leave
messages to various Fox Sports Radio And like I think
someone was showing me it the other day in one
of the producer studios. People still call it and leave
messages for you and for other shows. Usually they're just
(22:45):
you know, drunk and swearing, but like that's apparently the thing.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
The best messages those Chris are.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
The Oh they're fantastic. I'm shocked we don't play them
on air more often.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Well, super Marcus Steve said I should copy Petros Papadekas
and your day text o.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Sooln, but that costs money, I think, and I don't
know that I want to spend any money. That's a problem.
So I don't know they'll be spending. Petros makes more
money than me.
Speaker 7 (23:09):
So wait, wait, is that like a real thing. That's
not him just doing an accent on the text line.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
No, he has a.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Separate like a number. I don't know if Don has
his own number of people. See yeah he said that.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I don't know he's had that for years. I think.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, I used to text that way back like before
I started working here.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
Yeah, yeah, so are you anti threads? Coop? Welcome back,
by the way, Cooper thanking away. We've had what a
week we've had? Coop?
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Oh yeah, yes, basically my email every day, people send
me nasty messages because the people filling in for you
apparently have no concept how to put a podcast up.
My favorite was yesterday when our friend from Philadelphia put
the podcast up with our two at the beginning. Then
I think he went, let me check here, he went
(23:58):
our two hour four than hour one.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
That's it's very easy, a little bit checking people on
their toes.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Yes, yes, just to make sure they're paying attention.
Speaker 5 (24:09):
That's a Philly love.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
I didn't even know about threads or or hear about
it until literally like earlier today.

Yeah, we just started I think yesterday, So sign up
started yesterday.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
It was actually early was launch.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
So this is very strange that you're all about this, Ben,
I have to agree. It's not uh well my main.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Reason yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I think I have a theory.
Speaker 7 (24:34):
I think Ben just doesn't want to get left in
the dust anymore. Like this is this might be the
new news has.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Been on the on the cusp of technology. Now.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Now David vas say that that schmuck, David Vessa. He
says that's that Petros' own cell phone number, that it's
not extra money. I do not believe him. I do
not believe him.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
He wants me to bass wants me to give out
my cell phone number.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
I could give it out if you like that sounds
like a fantastic idea.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Yeah, why don't I give out Vassay's cell phone number?
How about that?
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You want to because Dodger talks over I guess you
want to call Vassay in LA. You want to give
him some Dodger takes, tell him, tell him what you
think you can say. Just text them Holy Crap over
and over again and send them photos of Bernie the
Brewer so he'll have PTSD.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
You can do that.

it's Diamondbacks rookie Corbyn Carrol left the game last night
against the matt second time in a week. He suffered
a right shoulder injury. We'll see if he'll participate in
the All Star Game or not.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Getting I'm a distant relative of No Damas No Stree
dians he.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Will not play the All Star Yeah, I'm pretty sure
you're right.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
In fact, he will be on the injured list. Fun
fact here not for the Diamondbacks. This guy has been
playing really well this year, Corbyn Carrol.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And that is the same shoulder that he had surgery on.
He missed most of the twenty twenty one season with
that injury.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
What wall, Yeah, it's the problem, not my problem is problem.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, it is the Ben Malard Show.

Com and you can be part of the show on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Just Josh a brigadier general and the militia in Cincinnati.
He writes in he says Ben has gone Roberto two
point zero with his Twitter crap.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
He says, I'm with Boomer. Yeah, Eddie's now Boomer.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
We don't appreciate your joke.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So man, yeah, in fact, you don't know this, but
I am following the path of Roberto. I am going
to be a bus driver, but not a LA Unified
School District bus driver. I'm gonna be a Greyhound bus driver.
So that's gonna be my move, that's my plan. I'm
giving up the overnight show to drive a bus. Yes,
(27:50):
then you can say, hey, Ben is the bus driver,
not a bus rider. A bus driver, And I was
thinking of all the ways we can travel. The clientele
on a greyhound bus has to be the top clientele, right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
No.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
I remember when I was in Vegas one time at
at the Fremont Street there Old Vegas, and there's a
greyhound bus terminal, and that was the most depressing thing.
You walk, you walk to the down the little side
street there and you see the greyhound bus terminal, and
it's people coming to Vegas that have nothing left but
(28:33):
a couple bucks in their pocket. And it's people leaving
Vegas that have nothing left but a couple of bucks
if that, in their pocket. And that's what you get
at a greyhound bus terminal. So it's kind of like
Spirit Airlines a little bit, you know. That's that's what
I've I've heard Ferg Dog right since says, hey, Pee
(28:54):
Mallard doesn't believe you actually use your own cell phone
for the textoso lines. Set him straight. What are you
causing trouble for a dog? So here's the Britney Spears update.
We talked about this a little bit in the monologue.
There's an odd plot twist here. There's a report that
Britney Spears when she went up to Victor Wembanyama to
(29:15):
tap him on the shoulder to say hello and niceties
and all that, that she was speaking.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
With a British accent.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Let me repeat that for those of you in the
back of the room. There's a story bouncing around here.
It was sent to me that Britney Spears in the
hotel in Vegas outside the Catch restaurant, there was speaking
with a British accent?
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah? Was she going to have tea in crumpets? Was
she trying to appeal to Terry in England and.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
All our friends listening in the UK to the early
morning show not a overnight show.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Did you think she picked that up? Grow where she
grew up?
Speaker 7 (30:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Where does she grow up? Mississippi or something like that?
Maybe not. I don't know where she grew up, but
I don't think she the Princess of pop from back
in the day.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
Had a British accent. Do you think that she actually
had a British accent? Do you think this is bull crap?
We have to examine the audio. This gotta be an
audio recording. We had to examine the audio recording there.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
And I don't know. We'll see about that. We'll take
some calls.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
It is a calling show at eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. That's eight seven seven nine nine six
six three sixty nine. Listener Ruth by the Way writes in,
and she enjoyed me and Eddie going back and forth,
and she she says, we are the Bickersons. Okay, wonderful.
Let's speaking of bickering. Let's go to Blind Scott on
(30:50):
the North end of Boston. Hello, Blind Scott.
Speaker 9 (30:54):
Hey, what's going on? Everything seems to be working here
tonight on the show. Yeah, I don't know. I don't
know why. If it had to do with Eddie's podcast,
he'd be joining the second, you know, doing all the
boot licking he needed to do. Yeah. Britney Spears is
from Louisiana. I agree with you, Ben. I think all
security guys are goons. You have to tell those dudes
what to do. I've had a few beasts with a
(31:16):
few security people in the past couple of weeks. One
guy thought my dad was going to bite him. Some
other security woman started screaming. You know. I was listening
into the Jason Smith Show a few hours ago and
Alex Teischer says he makes a few thousand dollars a
month on TikTok. I mean, why else. I'm on Threads
and I'm on Blue Sky. I'm on all these social
(31:37):
media platforms, just socialized with all the people. You know why,
Because I'm a person of the people. I like to
be amongst the people. I like to be fighting with him.
I like to be getting down and dirty. And I
didn't like it how Eddie dunked on the Blind last night.
Eddie really went after blind. I'm like, really took it
to him.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
That is correct, Yes, Eddie, that is a great point, Eddie.
Would you like to apologize to the blind community, Eddie?
Speaker 5 (32:00):
Eddie's recording an update?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Oh, Eddie's not available apparently, how much?
Speaker 9 (32:03):
The third he's just turning nineteen too. It's pretty cheap
shot to go after.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
That shows a young blind guy attacked by Eddie and
now he's attacking social media.
Speaker 9 (32:16):
Yeah, podcast at the studio. They should all shot to
the studios. Standing around Eddie's car when he leaves, you know,
push him around a little bit.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Yeah, yeah, little SmackDown, like a Jim Rome style SmackDown
right there in the parking lot.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
That'd be great.
Speaker 9 (32:32):
Yeah, there's a lot of hot Celtics talk going on, Ben,
Is there a Celtics Marlar coming up tonight?
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Get Well, there will be a little spicy Celtic Leprechaun
conversation coming up in another hour, so you have to
stay tuned for that.
Speaker 9 (32:47):
Oh I can't wait. I'm going to dim the lights
and get the lotion out.
