This is the best of the Ben Maler Show on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Trying to figure it all out? Aren't we all trying
to figure it all out? 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
down as we bark at the Moon Coast, Sduck Coast, Border,
(00:55):
the Border and beyond on the mast and magically powerful
microphones of FSR emmnating live from the studio, the Talk studio,
that's where we're doing the show from. We are broadcasting

Com the way tirebind should be and hope you're well.
We are back at it. Our lead this hour coming
from pro bouncey Ball. Who Am I gonna sit here
(01:37):
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
requested a trade from Portland, our little sporting world has
been set a fire here. Rumors have been swirling about
(01:59):
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, and he responded Lillard to the next
steps via the social media, saying vaguely, quote I'm amazed
(02:25):
close quote now. 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 quotes quote now.
That comes in after his agent, the man that is
paid to represent him, chimed in, if you didn't see
(02:47):
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
right teams not named Miami Heat that acquiring Lillard's services
(03:07):
would mean you are picking up an unhappy player, and
nobody wants an unhappy player. Now, 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,
he did not deny it. When asked, he said he
(03:29):
did did call multiple teams, others reached out to him.
He said, quote truthfully, he Dame wants to play in Miami. Period.
So let us discuss now, Dame Lillard's agent saying that
his client only wants to play in Miami, how will
(03:50):
this message play out in the NBA? How would it
resonate around the NBA? So I've got seizure, Irish Bull
and talk and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a brand new
set of tires, which you can get by the way
at tire rack dot com.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So, a.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Dame Lillard, what he should do is textas agent. So
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. That's the thing about it. Like Lillard seems
blown away by all these stories, the agent was the
(04:32):
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 to say,
they have a platform. Yeah, so they've got their own platform.
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
(04:55):
what we're doing. He could do that if you want.
You don't need woes or shams. You can set the
record straight. He can give the gospel a right, real
version of events, and he's gonna do that. Right, you
air your dirty laundry. But the NBA dominates social media
this time of the year because nobody stays quiet. Now,
(05:19):
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. 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
(05:43):
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 thing you shouldn't
do at the time you shouldn't do it, and take
a flyer on Dame, betting that he will not be
(06:04):
a bad apple, he will not be 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 play, he'd 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.
(06:24):
We'd go back like thirteen years. Dwight Howard 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 in the NBA. He did an interview
recently and Howard said, fifteen to twenty, there's thirty teams
(06:47):
in the Mayby fifteen to twenty teams could use his services.
Now he's thirty seven years old. That wasn't even the
most outrageous take from the former Orlando Starry. Now, Dwight
Howard believe, here we go, buckle up, here we go.
Dwight Howard believes that in his prime he was better
(07:08):
than the current MVP Nicola Jokic. I'm talking about NBA
Finals MVP Nakola Jokic and a two time VP in
the league itself, Dwight Howard saying that, and he thinks
he's better than Jokic in his prime. Who do you
think is better? Well, that's nice of Dwight Howard to
(07:28):
feed the content machine. We enjoyed Howard's lob game with Orlando.
I think he's kind of obviously this is low hanging
fruit that Dwight Howard. The only wage White Howard is
better than Nikola Jokic in his prime is if you're
on a lot of PCP. Other than that, I'm gonna
go no. The joker in this little episode is in Taiwan. Now,
(07:52):
Dwight Howard's argument is that he did everything without having
a three point shot in his game like Jokic. He's
like he used that. He said, listen, everything I did
was around the basket, was mostly Lob's offensive rebounds. And
he used this broad brush to paint the picture that
that made him better. But on this side of the microphone,
(08:16):
that actually helps push the envelope in favor of Nikola
Jokic because his outside game, the moneyball game, is a
key point of demarcation, 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,
(08:36):
I understand, but my goodness, Dwight, I will tell you
what 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 Stephen A. Smith
(08:58):
did a show together and they would ripped Dwight because
he 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. He was fired. He sued the La Times,
but TJ. Simers went up to I remember as this day.
He went up to Howard. He explained to him because
(09:18):
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. No one's watching 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,
(09:39):
last word here, So we now head to what many
would say the main event. Don't bury the lead, my man.
All right, well this is kind of not the lead,
but it's a great story, the life and times of
Victor WM by Niyama and his security detail, which backhanded
a pop idol from back in the day. If you're
old enough to remember Britney's, yeah, if you love Britney Spears,
(10:03):
you're old. But Britney Spears got backhanded right in the 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
(10:23):
from behind. She claims it was just a friendly tap
on the shoulder. Turns out that Britney Spears is a
fan of wem Ba Niama Prima anymore. But she apparently
wanted to wish him well. And the Spurs victor wem
Banyama his security team assaulting committing battery on Britney Spears.
(10:44):
Now you've got two differing stories here. Whose side are
you on? Are you on the side of Wemby or Britney.
So I did not have this on 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,
(11:05):
it's Britney bitch. That's my answer, right, that's our girl.
We stand with Britney on this one. And this was
to quote one of her other tunes, A toxic situation.
I watched some of the 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
(11:26):
an over zealous security goon. Oops, I did it again.
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. It was an overreaction. And
the thing about this which is both amusing and disturbing
(11:47):
is if this had been Jane Doe, not Britney Spears,
but literally a woman named Jane Doe, nothing would have happened.
Everything would have just moved on. 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
(12:10):
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 Spears is demanding an apology. Will
she get one? Unlikely? Is she actually gonna go forward?
(12:31):
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 what a world when nineteen year old
Victor Wembanyama is surrounded by a group of brutes security
(12:53):
people and he's in a casino. There are few places
in this world that are more more secure than a
Vegas casino. And the tail of the tape on this
you have a five foot three middle aged woman I
think Britney Spears is middle aged now and a seven
foot four to nineteen year old and in between some
(13:14):
security goon and that's what you got. So there you go.
These are some bad actor security meat heads and all
that would appear, and we'll see if Britney can take
them down a couple of notches, just a couple of notches.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. Yeah, we love good
criminal stories. I'm all about it. So if we get
(13:37):
a lawsuit or a criminal case, that would be wonderful.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
He's our running back, wel Gome In the beginning of
another hour of The Ben Mahlor Show, we are in
the air everywhere besides one another as we jab and
blab a coast stunt coast, border, the motor and beyond
on the mast and unreasonably powerful microphones of fsre ammating
(14:18):
live from the game, playing the blame game under the
cover of darkness. We are broadcasting live from the tire
rack dot Com studios. Tyre rack dot com will help
you get there in unmatched selection, fast free shipping, free
road hazard protection and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tyer
(14:38):
rack dot com the Way tire buying show beat in
our lead this hour, coming from the Bengal Roar. Yes,
from the NFL, A former running back is fed up
and he can't take stit no more. With the honors
(14:59):
that go out to former NFL players, now we're talking
about Corey Dillon. If you didn't see this, it is
quite the story and it's good talk radio. He was
a big star back in the day's drafted in the
late nineties, played a fair amount of time in Cincinnati
think he was there for seven seasons, played with the
Patriots also, and bounced around the NFL a little bit
after that. But now he snapped. We all have our
(15:22):
breaking point and Corey Dillon had his breaking point, and no,
if you didn't see this, and perhaps you actually don't
obsess about the Sporting News all this, you might have
missed it. The former Bengal runner Corey Dillon is so
frustrated with the franchise that he is now blowing the whistle.
All right, he is blowing the whistle on this. He
(15:44):
is very upset that he has not been inducted into
the Ring of Honor. Yeah, he said, quote it's damn
near criminal what the Bengal Ring of Honor voters are
pulling off. To be honest with you, Dylan belly ach
behind a paywall on the Athletic Now. Corey Dillon is
upset with the process or process depending on how you
(16:09):
were raised, that features votes from season ticket holders and
the people that own the suites in Cincinnati that rent
them can vote on who gets into the Ring of
Honor for the Bengals. He said that is garbage and
that the selection should be done directly by the front
office or a special committee. Quote, this ain't a popularity contest. Garbage,
(16:36):
Dylan moaned. This is football. You are going to put
in somebody who is more popular than somebody who got stats.
Dylan opined. He said, though the Bengals are smart in
a sarcastic way, he said. I added the sarcastic part.
He says, I give it to them. We will put
(16:57):
it in the hands of the season ticket all so
they don't have to take the backlash over who the
voters are picking. That's bull pucky, that's manure. I gotta
clean this up. Should come straight from the team. Half
the assistant ticket holders never saw us play close quote,
so let us discuss now. Dylan also says he should
(17:18):
be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Okay, so
let's discuss the question. Though Corey Dylon upset with the
Bengal Ring of Honor selection process, does he have a point?
So I've got Bruce Banner, Brooklyn and building Code, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
(17:40):
going to make some Skyline chili, which our friend Andy Furman,
who lives in the greater Cincinnati area loves he works
here at Fox Sports Radio and Justin in Cincinnati, says
is disgusting. Although he's bitter and upset, he's sucking his
thumb in the corner there. He's rep Set Two's complaining
because he's upset. I ripped a Twitter. So all right, Corey, Yeah,
(18:04):
Corey dllon upset Bengals Ring of Honor selection process. Does
he have a point? So Number one, we appreciate the
passion that Corey Dillon has on this topic. I will
feel the same day some I will feel the same
way someday if I could talk that. I will feel
the same way someday when Fox Sports Radio has a
Ring of Honor and I am not elected, but Rich
(18:26):
Horrera is elected, I will be very upset by that.
I will be so annoyed when that happens. Now, well,
if he gets in, forget about it. That will lose
all credibility. If they put Tom Looney in the Fox
Sports Rader Ring of honor, forget about it, okay. And
if they you know, if Bob Golick goes in there,
it's oh and Craig Sheman, you gotta be joking right
(18:48):
instead of me? No? Way, no, wow, f and way right?
Come on? Now, what are we doing here? I know,
I know we would be shocking, but here that's the
problem with the Dylan rant. Get to the point, police,
it's misguided, like getting hot and bothered over a ring
of honor. The vortex of outrage, and it's it's wild,
(19:12):
and it's kind of like a stump speech from a politician.
It's dull, right, The point he was making is dull
Corey Dillon turning into Bruce Banner and flipping into the
incredible Hulk with the veins bulging and the spittle flying.
And as the Hulk says, you wouldn't like me when
(19:32):
I'm angry. And where Corey Dillon is wrong is by
ripping the fact that season ticker with holders in Cincinnati
get to vote. I think that's wonderful. On this side
of the microphone, I think that's that's amazing. I didn't
know that happened. I had no idea. But ultimately, the
Ring of Honor is for the fans. It's a fan thing.
(19:54):
It ain't for the players. It's for the fans that
it's a great honor if you get in there as
a player, but it's it's for the people that love
the team, that worshiped the team like a religion for
the great unwashed. You don't need some blue ribbon panel
of people with all great credentials and all that to
put people in to the Ring of Honor. Let the
fans vote, and here's what you should do. Here's what
(20:16):
Corey doing should do. Rather than have a hissy fit
and raise Holy Hell and huff and puff and blow
the whole house down, may we recommend diplomacy. And I
would advise Corey Dillon to start convesting around and canvassing
the landscape there in Ohio, to go all the way.
And it was called polling right, meet the go out
(20:36):
and shake hands, kiss babies and all that, take photos,
sign autographs, campaign for votes, go to Bengals games and
be an ambassador and say, hey, vote for me?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
What about me?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
All right now? Page two, DeAndre Hopkins has popped up
on our radar. He has said recently that he will
retire when he is no longer a thousand yard receiver.
Do you believe DeAndre Hopkins when he says he'll retire
if he's no longer a thousand yard receiver? So I
(21:11):
am shaking my head now now, And my position on
this is he's living in a neighborhood under the Manhattan
Bridge in Brooklyn. That neighborhood, if you ever been to Brooklyn,
is called Dumbo. That's the name of the neighborhood. I'm
not making that up. It's named Dumbo, It's a neighborhood
(21:31):
in Brooklyn. Like, what are we doing on this one?
DeAndre Hopkins, here's the reason we know he's full of crap.
He has failed to get one thousand yards in the
last two seasons combined. He has less than thirteen hundred
yards the last two years. By the way, why would
any receiver, whether it's DeAndre Hopkins or whoever your favorite
receiver is, why would any receiver use one thousand yards
(21:54):
as a measuring stick? A serious question. Let's do some
back of the nap math. If the NFL plays seventeen
regular season games, each team plays seventeen regular season games
starting in September and going to late December early January,
seventeen games. If you get to one thousand yards, that
means you are averaging fifty nine yards per game. Does
(22:19):
that make you a breakaway star?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
And in.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I don't get it, I really don't get it. I'm
asking for a friend. DeAndre Hopkins will retire when he
cannot find work in the NFL. Then he'll retire. Until
then he'll keep going. And right now he's still out
of the NFL. He has the same NFL contract that
you have and I have. He has none, and maybe
the Patriots will give him one today, or the Titans
(22:47):
or whoever, but none right now. Fun a point, So
let's move to Tampa. There's someone there that is named
Carlton Davis. You ever heard of that guy?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Said?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
No, he's a defensive back. Is his name's Carlton Davis.
I know I never heard of him either, but this
guy was. He was really going for it. He says,
the Buccaneers are going to be amazing without Tom Brady.
Without Tom Brady, Davis won on a soapbox rant recently.
(23:17):
As the team gets ready for training camp, which starts
in less than two weeks, he said, we're about to
do it to him. Davis opined. He says, anybody who
feels we've lost Tom and lost something is going to
be in for a rude awakening. A rude awakening. The
buccaneer defensive back shouted. He says, we still have those components,
(23:42):
and he says he's only getting better, and then he's
predicting the defense in Tampa is going to dominate. He said,
we're going to wreck blank like wreck blank, of course,
not a blank. He said a bad word retracted. I
guess it's what I should say rather than blank. He said, interceptions, turnovers,
plays will be made. I will say plays will be
(24:05):
mate now. Carlton then took a shot at the Carolina Panthers,
New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. He said, our
f in division is worse than what it was before.
So we run through the division, Davis said, we get
to the playoffs, We run through the playoffs, and it's
the super Bowl in lost wages, Nevada. Okay, all right,
(24:31):
So Carlton Davis, let's discuss this. One says the NFL
is in for a rude awakening. How concerned should the
rest of the NFL be with Tampa? So I'll answer this,
watch out for the ricochet, right, because it's gonna come
right back in your face. Now, the Buccaneers, I'm looking
at this roster, and they violate the building code. They
(24:53):
they're gonna have to deal with code enforcement. This is
not a well built football team. Now, they have a
chance to make the playoffs because of the but that
doesn't mean they're good. And by the way, might I
point out that Tampa went eight and nine last season.
They had a losing record, and if you saw their
playoff game against the Cowboys, they were so bad they
(25:16):
made Dak Prescott look good. And then when Dak played
a real team the next week, a good team, Dak
was back to playoff DAC. And so now the Buccaneers
are gonna roll out Baker Mayfield, who talks the talk
but rarely walks the walk, not since he was in Norman, Oklahoma.
It is a cautionary tale. Now, I understand that you're
(25:36):
supposed to be confident in Carlton Davis, which he supposed
to say We're gonna suck. You can't really do that,
But I will warn you for the Buccaneers and their
dreams of being a good team, you can get in
the playoffs as a bad team in the NFL. That's
a flaw the NFL has to correct. They haven't done
it yet. But there's a very large woman, not Lizo,
but a fat lady who's starting to warm up her
(25:59):
vocal cords, and the Buck and Ears haven't even reported
to training camp yet. Yeah, I'm not exaggerated, No, it
just sounds like I'm exaggerated.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
Cornerback Jerry Jacobs believes that the Lions are ready to
shock the world in Week one versus the Chiefs. It's
time to show what to is made of. That is
what Jacob said. Ben would the Lions shocked the world
by beating the Chiefs in the opener, No, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
A one game, it's there are seven point under does
I'll probably betting on the Lions plus seven at Arrowhead.
But the Lion the Chiefs are getting their Super Bowl rings.
The Lions will shock the world if they get to
the playoffs and win a couple of games in the
playoffs that would shock the word beating the chiefs of
the opener mild surprise.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
Next, Ben Nats manager Dave Martinez was upset with Cincinnati
Reds phenom Ellie de la Cruz for show voting. His
bat was checked and he hit a mammoth dinger. Martinez says,
I didn't like his antics after he hit the homer. Ben,
what do you make of Dave Martinez's gripe?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
All right? So this he sounds like Eddie Ebenezer Scrooge here, right,
I mean, what are you doing here? Martinez dabbled in gamesmanship.
I had no problem with I thought it was great.

it's Coop to the third degree with Eddie Garcia asking
travel related questions.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Very exciting.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
All right, Ben, Well, I'm gonna start off in theaters.
We have a new comedy coming out this weekend. And
when I've saw the previews for this, I thought, okay,
I've seen a movie like this before. It's called joy Ride.
But it is actually getting pretty rave reviews right now.
It's basically like a I don't know, a girl Crew movie.
(34:24):
If I if I could, uh chick flick, well, I
don't know that I would call it a chick flick
because it's not really a romantic comedy. It's it's to me,
just from the previews, it looks kind of like Hangover,
but but for women with like a group of women.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know, as long as they didn't just call it hangover,
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
They when they just say here's Hangover, it's all chicks,
I'm good. I'm all right on them. Remember they did
that with Ghostbusters. It was a disaster.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yes, yes, exactly. No, No, it's called joy Ride. So
I think it's got its own own little storyline.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So there.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah, that is coming out in theaters this weekend and
going over to television. This one came out last week,
but I was not here last week obviously, and I
watched this on on Netflix. It is a documentary, a
music documentary. It's called Wham and it is about Wham
(35:17):
with you know, George Michael and the Jonas Knox look alike.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Any bathrooms they go into there? Wow? Oh is that
too soon? I'm sorry?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Did he die in the bathroom? No?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
He did something else in there.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I don't know this story.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
George Michael got caught in the public restroom with another man? Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeah, well, who hasn't had that happened?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
They do not discuss that in the documentary. I mean,
it's pretty much just about his time in Wham. As
soon as that's over and he goes on his solo career,
that's when the documentary ends. But yeah, no, it is.
It was very good. I did not realize how how
big they were, you know, the kind of then in.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
An era without social media, they were you know you
you made it big in the music you were it
was huge. Everything's watered down now, but back then.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, it was like Beatle status with like the like
the teenage girls going all crazy like it was. I was,
I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It was Does that happen for any music group these days?
Speaker 4 (36:24):
There's that Korean boy band, Oh that sold out? So
five or like five shows. Andeople were camped out all night.
So yes, the answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Good bts bts.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah that's that's like a disease.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
But would say yes.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
But yeah, that is on Netflix right now. It was
a it was an interesting watch. But coming out this weekend,
we have a new movie on Netflix. It is called
The Outlaws and uh it is a It stars Adam Devine,
who's who's hilarious. He's in The Righteous Gemstones on HBO
it's also Cat Pierce Brosnan and Nina Dobrev And it's
(37:05):
a it's about as soon to be married bank manager
played by Adam Devine. Devine. Divine suspects that his parents,
the parents of his fiance, so is his in laws
might be the infamous bank robbers who just held up
his bank, and so comedy ensues. And then last but
not least, we have that new I guess some I
(37:28):
guess you would you call it a documentary Quarterbacks on Netflix?
And yes, Quarterback and it is an eight episode series
from NFL Films, and it follows Marcus Mariota, Patrick Mahomes,
and Kirk Cousins both on and off the field throughout
last season.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
So they wanted to take a great quarterback, a mediocre quarterback,
and a terrible quarterback follow them around.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
That seemed to be the formula there. And that that
is on ends day on Netflix. And that is Coop
Scoop on Entertainment.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
All right, now for the Coop travel Log. Any any
questions you wanted to ask Coops travel.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Well, he told me he didn't do too well unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
But how long did you last in the tournament? There?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Cool? I lasted till literally like right before the money bubble.
Probably would have cashed if I lasted maybe thirty more minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
But yeah, it was. It was too bad. It was.
It was Are you any amusing anecdotes to share.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
From the World Series Poker or just the trip in general?
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Well, whatever the best story is.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Well, I did see Las Vegas has this this new
thing is called the Sphere. It's from from photos.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
It looks pretty wild. It was awesome. It was what
part of it is? Where is it built? What part
of the strip?
Speaker 3 (38:53):
It is right right behind the Venetian Oh okay, yes,
and yeah, so it's from the Madison Square Garden Company
and it's a new venue. But they lit it up
for the first time on the fourth of July, and
it was it was pretty awesome. I drove to go
see it, and it seems like it's like it's like
you're in a sci fi movie almost. It looks otherworldly?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It is. Is it true you can see it from
outer space?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I don't know about that, but you can definitely see
it from miles and miles away. It is the largest
spherical structure in the world.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
What's number two?
Speaker 4 (39:27):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I always say that number two.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
But I guess it's also the largest LED screen.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
It looks awesome.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
I'm looking at YouTube video of it. Now that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yeah, it was pretty It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You build something like that very carefully.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I guess it cost more than Allegiant Stadium. Oh yeah,
and how many seats does it have? I think it's
gonna be like thirty.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Let me let me see that is it is?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
It is out there?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Will people like us ever be able to No?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
No, no, it is not anywhere close to that. Okay,
well I was wrong, and it's eighteen thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Okay, that's like the standard arena. They have luxury boxes
like for the high high rollers the whales.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I don't know, that's that's a good question. I don't
not that I know. But you two is debuting and
they are opening up that like they're the first concert there.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
And our tickets outrageous?
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
I'm shopping for the first couple of shows. But after that?
Can the common person go there? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
It's going to be an experience. It's I'm I'm pretty
excited about it. But yeah, checking it out was pretty
cool in Vegas and then then and then of course
the other highlight was the dinner that I had over
where Slug works.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah. That, and they're building a giant guitar hotel like
they have in yeah, the Heart of the hard Rock.
Yeah yeah, they're building the big giant guitar things. So
they got that going on. Well, all right, very good,
thank you for that. Cool a little bit

Trying to figure it all out? Aren't we all trying
to figure it all out? 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
down as we bark at the Moon Coast, Sduck Coast, Border,
(00:55):
the Border and beyond on the mast and magically powerful
microphones of FSR emmnating live from the studio, the Talk studio,

Com the way tirebind should be and hope you're well.
We are back at it. Our lead this hour coming
from pro bouncey Ball. Who Am I gonna sit here
(01:37):
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
requested a trade from Portland, our little sporting world has
been set a fire here. Rumors have been swirling about
(01:59):
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, and he responded Lillard to the next
steps via the social media, saying vaguely, quote I'm amazed
(02:25):
close quote now. 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 quotes quote now.
That comes in after his agent, the man that is
paid to represent him, chimed in, if you didn't see
(02:47):
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
right teams not named Miami Heat that acquiring Lillard's services
(03:07):
would mean you are picking up an unhappy player, and
nobody wants an unhappy player. Now, 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,
he did not deny it. When asked, he said he
(03:29):
did did call multiple teams, others reached out to him.
He said, quote truthfully, he Dame wants to play in Miami. Period.
So let us discuss now, Dame Lillard's agent saying that
his client only wants to play in Miami, how will
(03:50):
this message play out in the NBA? How would it
resonate around the NBA? So I've got seizure, Irish Bull
and talk and we will combine all of these things
together and we are going to make a brand new
set of tires, which you can get by the way
at tire rack dot com.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
So, a.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Dame Lillard, what he should do is textas agent. So
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. That's the thing about it. Like Lillard seems
blown away by all these stories, the agent was the
(04:32):
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 to say,
they have a platform. Yeah, so they've got their own platform.
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
(04:55):
what we're doing. He could do that if you want.
You don't need woes or shams. You can set the
record straight. He can give the gospel a right, real
version of events, and he's gonna do that. Right, you
air your dirty laundry. But the NBA dominates social media
this time of the year because nobody stays quiet. Now,
(05:19):
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. 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
(05:43):
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 thing you shouldn't
do at the time you shouldn't do it, and take
a flyer on Dame, betting that he will not be
(06:04):
a bad apple, he will not be 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 play, he'd 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.
(06:24):
We'd go back like thirteen years. Dwight Howard 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 in the NBA. He did an interview
recently and Howard said, fifteen to twenty, there's thirty teams
(06:47):
in the Mayby fifteen to twenty teams could use his services.
Now he's thirty seven years old. That wasn't even the
most outrageous take from the former Orlando Starry. Now, Dwight
Howard believe, here we go, buckle up, here we go.
Dwight Howard believes that in his prime he was better
(07:08):
than the current MVP Nicola Jokic. I'm talking about NBA
Finals MVP Nakola Jokic and a two time VP in
the league itself, Dwight Howard saying that, and he thinks
he's better than Jokic in his prime. Who do you
think is better? Well, that's nice of Dwight Howard to
(07:28):
feed the content machine. We enjoyed Howard's lob game with Orlando.
I think he's kind of obviously this is low hanging
fruit that Dwight Howard. The only wage White Howard is
better than Nikola Jokic in his prime is if you're
on a lot of PCP. Other than that, I'm gonna
go no. The joker in this little episode is in Taiwan. Now,
(07:52):
Dwight Howard's argument is that he did everything without having
a three point shot in his game like Jokic. He's
like he used that. He said, listen, everything I did
was around the basket, was mostly Lob's offensive rebounds. And
he used this broad brush to paint the picture that
that made him better. But on this side of the microphone,
(08:16):
that actually helps push the envelope in favor of Nikola
Jokic because his outside game, the moneyball game, is a
key point of demarcation, 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,
(08:36):
I understand, but my goodness, Dwight, I will tell you
what 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 Stephen A. Smith
(08:58):
did a show together and they would ripped Dwight because
he 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. He was fired. He sued the La Times,
but TJ. Simers went up to I remember as this day.
He went up to Howard. He explained to him because
(09:18):
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. No one's watching 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,
(09:39):
last word here, So we now head to what many
would say the main event. Don't bury the lead, my man.
All right, well this is kind of not the lead,
but it's a great story, the life and times of
Victor WM by Niyama and his security detail, which backhanded
a pop idol from back in the day. If you're
old enough to remember Britney's, yeah, if you love Britney Spears,
(10:03):
you're old. But Britney Spears got backhanded right in the 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
(10:23):
from behind. She claims it was just a friendly tap
on the shoulder. Turns out that Britney Spears is a
fan of wem Ba Niama Prima anymore. But she apparently
wanted to wish him well. And the Spurs victor wem
Banyama his security team assaulting committing battery on Britney Spears.
(10:44):
Now you've got two differing stories here. Whose side are
you on? Are you on the side of Wemby or Britney.
So I did not have this on 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,
(11:05):
it's Britney bitch. That's my answer, right, that's our girl.
We stand with Britney on this one. And this was
to quote one of her other tunes, A toxic situation.
I watched some of the 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
(11:26):
an over zealous security goon. Oops, I did it again.
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. It was an overreaction. And
the thing about this which is both amusing and disturbing
(11:47):
is if this had been Jane Doe, not Britney Spears,
but literally a woman named Jane Doe, nothing would have happened.
Everything would have just moved on. 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
(12:10):
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 Spears is demanding an apology. Will
she get one? Unlikely? Is she actually gonna go forward?
(12:31):
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 what a world when nineteen year old
Victor Wembanyama is surrounded by a group of brutes security
(12:53):
people and he's in a casino. There are few places
in this world that are more more secure than a
Vegas casino. And the tail of the tape on this
you have a five foot three middle aged woman I
think Britney Spears is middle aged now and a seven
foot four to nineteen year old and in between some
(13:14):
security goon and that's what you got. So there you go.
These are some bad actor security meat heads and all
that would appear, and we'll see if Britney can take
them down a couple of notches, just a couple of notches.
It is the Ben Mahlor Show. Yeah, we love good
criminal stories. I'm all about it. So if we get
(13:37):
a lawsuit or a criminal case, that would be wonderful.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Mallor

(14:38):
rack dot com the Way tire buying show beat in
our lead this hour, coming from the Bengal Roar. Yes,
from the NFL, A former running back is fed up
and he can't take stit no more. With the honors
(14:59):
that go out to former NFL players, now we're talking
about Corey Dillon. If you didn't see this, it is
quite the story and it's good talk radio. He was
a big star back in the day's drafted in the
late nineties, played a fair amount of time in Cincinnati
think he was there for seven seasons, played with the
Patriots also, and bounced around the NFL a little bit
after that. But now he snapped. We all have our
(15:22):
breaking point and Corey Dillon had his breaking point, and no,
if you didn't see this, and perhaps you actually don't
obsess about the Sporting News all this, you might have
missed it. The former Bengal runner Corey Dillon is so
frustrated with the franchise that he is now blowing the whistle.
All right, he is blowing the whistle on this. He
(15:44):
is very upset that he has not been inducted into
the Ring of Honor. Yeah, he said, quote it's damn
near criminal what the Bengal Ring of Honor voters are
pulling off. To be honest with you, Dylan belly ach
behind a paywall on the Athletic Now. Corey Dillon is
upset with the process or process depending on how you
(16:09):
were raised, that features votes from season ticket holders and
the people that own the suites in Cincinnati that rent
them can vote on who gets into the Ring of
Honor for the Bengals. He said that is garbage and
that the selection should be done directly by the front
office or a special committee. Quote, this ain't a popularity contest. Garbage,
(16:36):
Dylan moaned. This is football. You are going to put
in somebody who is more popular than somebody who got stats.
Dylan opined. He said, though the Bengals are smart in
a sarcastic way, he said. I added the sarcastic part.
He says, I give it to them. We will put
(16:57):
it in the hands of the season ticket all so
they don't have to take the backlash over who the
voters are picking. That's bull pucky, that's manure. I gotta
clean this up. Should come straight from the team. Half
the assistant ticket holders never saw us play close quote,
so let us discuss now. Dylan also says he should
(17:18):
be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Okay, so
let's discuss the question. Though Corey Dylon upset with the
Bengal Ring of Honor selection process, does he have a point?
So I've got Bruce Banner, Brooklyn and building Code, and
we'll combine all of these things together and we are
(17:40):
going to make some Skyline chili, which our friend Andy Furman,
who lives in the greater Cincinnati area loves he works
here at Fox Sports Radio and Justin in Cincinnati, says
is disgusting. Although he's bitter and upset, he's sucking his
thumb in the corner there. He's rep Set Two's complaining
because he's upset. I ripped a Twitter. So all right, Corey, Yeah,
(18:04):
Corey dllon upset Bengals Ring of Honor selection process. Does
he have a point? So Number one, we appreciate the
passion that Corey Dillon has on this topic. I will
feel the same day some I will feel the same
way someday if I could talk that. I will feel
the same way someday when Fox Sports Radio has a
Ring of Honor and I am not elected, but Rich
(18:26):
Horrera is elected, I will be very upset by that.
I will be so annoyed when that happens. Now, well,
if he gets in, forget about it. That will lose
all credibility. If they put Tom Looney in the Fox
Sports Rader Ring of honor, forget about it, okay. And
if they you know, if Bob Golick goes in there,
it's oh and Craig Sheman, you gotta be joking right
(18:48):
instead of me? No? Way, no, wow, f and way right?
Come on? Now, what are we doing here? I know,
I know we would be shocking, but here that's the
problem with the Dylan rant. Get to the point, police,
it's misguided, like getting hot and bothered over a ring
of honor. The vortex of outrage, and it's it's wild,
(19:12):
and it's kind of like a stump speech from a politician.
It's dull, right, The point he was making is dull
Corey Dillon turning into Bruce Banner and flipping into the
incredible Hulk with the veins bulging and the spittle flying.
And as the Hulk says, you wouldn't like me when
(19:32):
I'm angry. And where Corey Dillon is wrong is by
ripping the fact that season ticker with holders in Cincinnati
get to vote. I think that's wonderful. On this side
of the microphone, I think that's that's amazing. I didn't
know that happened. I had no idea. But ultimately, the
Ring of Honor is for the fans. It's a fan thing.
(19:54):
It ain't for the players. It's for the fans that
it's a great honor if you get in there as
a player, but it's it's for the people that love
the team, that worshiped the team like a religion for
the great unwashed. You don't need some blue ribbon panel
of people with all great credentials and all that to
put people in to the Ring of Honor. Let the
fans vote, and here's what you should do. Here's what
(20:16):
Corey doing should do. Rather than have a hissy fit
and raise Holy Hell and huff and puff and blow
the whole house down, may we recommend diplomacy. And I
would advise Corey Dillon to start convesting around and canvassing
the landscape there in Ohio, to go all the way.
And it was called polling right, meet the go out
(20:36):
and shake hands, kiss babies and all that, take photos,
sign autographs, campaign for votes, go to Bengals games and
be an ambassador and say, hey, vote for me?
Speaker 4 (20:48):
What about me?
Speaker 1 (20:50):
All right now? Page two, DeAndre Hopkins has popped up
on our radar. He has said recently that he will
retire when he is no longer a thousand yard receiver.
Do you believe DeAndre Hopkins when he says he'll retire
if he's no longer a thousand yard receiver? So I
(21:11):
am shaking my head now now, And my position on
this is he's living in a neighborhood under the Manhattan
Bridge in Brooklyn. That neighborhood, if you ever been to Brooklyn,
is called Dumbo. That's the name of the neighborhood. I'm
not making that up. It's named Dumbo, It's a neighborhood
(21:31):
in Brooklyn. Like, what are we doing on this one?
DeAndre Hopkins, here's the reason we know he's full of crap.
He has failed to get one thousand yards in the
last two seasons combined. He has less than thirteen hundred
yards the last two years. By the way, why would
any receiver, whether it's DeAndre Hopkins or whoever your favorite
receiver is, why would any receiver use one thousand yards
(21:54):
as a measuring stick? A serious question. Let's do some
back of the nap math. If the NFL plays seventeen
regular season games, each team plays seventeen regular season games
starting in September and going to late December early January,
seventeen games. If you get to one thousand yards, that
means you are averaging fifty nine yards per game. Does
(22:19):
that make you a breakaway star?
Speaker 3 (22:23):
And in.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
I don't get it, I really don't get it. I'm
asking for a friend. DeAndre Hopkins will retire when he
cannot find work in the NFL. Then he'll retire. Until
then he'll keep going. And right now he's still out
of the NFL. He has the same NFL contract that
you have and I have. He has none, and maybe
the Patriots will give him one today, or the Titans
(22:47):
or whoever, but none right now. Fun a point, So
let's move to Tampa. There's someone there that is named
Carlton Davis. You ever heard of that guy?
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Said?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
No, he's a defensive back. Is his name's Carlton Davis.
I know I never heard of him either, but this
guy was. He was really going for it. He says,
the Buccaneers are going to be amazing without Tom Brady.
Without Tom Brady, Davis won on a soapbox rant recently.
(23:17):
As the team gets ready for training camp, which starts
in less than two weeks, he said, we're about to
do it to him. Davis opined. He says, anybody who
feels we've lost Tom and lost something is going to
be in for a rude awakening. A rude awakening. The
buccaneer defensive back shouted. He says, we still have those components,
(23:42):
and he says he's only getting better, and then he's
predicting the defense in Tampa is going to dominate. He said,
we're going to wreck blank like wreck blank, of course,
not a blank. He said a bad word retracted. I
guess it's what I should say rather than blank. He said, interceptions, turnovers,
plays will be made. I will say plays will be
(24:05):
mate now. Carlton then took a shot at the Carolina Panthers,
New Orleans Saints and the Atlanta Falcons. He said, our
f in division is worse than what it was before.
So we run through the division, Davis said, we get
to the playoffs, We run through the playoffs, and it's
the super Bowl in lost wages, Nevada. Okay, all right,
(24:31):
So Carlton Davis, let's discuss this. One says the NFL
is in for a rude awakening. How concerned should the
rest of the NFL be with Tampa? So I'll answer this,
watch out for the ricochet, right, because it's gonna come
right back in your face. Now, the Buccaneers, I'm looking
at this roster, and they violate the building code. They
(24:53):
they're gonna have to deal with code enforcement. This is
not a well built football team. Now, they have a
chance to make the playoffs because of the but that
doesn't mean they're good. And by the way, might I
point out that Tampa went eight and nine last season.
They had a losing record, and if you saw their
playoff game against the Cowboys, they were so bad they
(25:16):
made Dak Prescott look good. And then when Dak played
a real team the next week, a good team, Dak
was back to playoff DAC. And so now the Buccaneers
are gonna roll out Baker Mayfield, who talks the talk
but rarely walks the walk, not since he was in Norman, Oklahoma.
It is a cautionary tale. Now, I understand that you're
(25:36):
supposed to be confident in Carlton Davis, which he supposed
to say We're gonna suck. You can't really do that,
But I will warn you for the Buccaneers and their
dreams of being a good team, you can get in
the playoffs as a bad team in the NFL. That's
a flaw the NFL has to correct. They haven't done
it yet. But there's a very large woman, not Lizo,
but a fat lady who's starting to warm up her
(25:59):
vocal cords, and the Buck and Ears haven't even reported
to training camp yet. Yeah, I'm not exaggerated, No, it
just sounds like I'm exaggerated.

shock the world in Week one versus the Chiefs. It's
time to show what to is made of. That is
what Jacob said. Ben would the Lions shocked the world
by beating the Chiefs in the opener, No, it's.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
A one game, it's there are seven point under does
I'll probably betting on the Lions plus seven at Arrowhead.
But the Lion the Chiefs are getting their Super Bowl rings.
The Lions will shock the world if they get to
the playoffs and win a couple of games in the
playoffs that would shock the word beating the chiefs of
the opener mild surprise.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
All right, Ben, Well, I'm gonna start off in theaters.
We have a new comedy coming out this weekend. And
when I've saw the previews for this, I thought, okay,
I've seen a movie like this before. It's called joy Ride.
But it is actually getting pretty rave reviews right now.
It's basically like a I don't know, a girl Crew movie.
(34:24):
If I if I could, uh chick flick, well, I
don't know that I would call it a chick flick
because it's not really a romantic comedy. It's it's to me,
just from the previews, it looks kind of like Hangover,
but but for women with like a group of women.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know, as long as they didn't just call it hangover,
I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
They when they just say here's Hangover, it's all chicks,
I'm good. I'm all right on them. Remember they did
that with Ghostbusters. It was a disaster.
Speaker 3 (34:50):
Yes, yes, exactly. No, No, it's called joy Ride. So
I think it's got its own own little storyline.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
So there.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Yeah, that is coming out in theaters this weekend and
going over to television. This one came out last week,
but I was not here last week obviously, and I
watched this on on Netflix. It is a documentary, a
music documentary. It's called Wham and it is about Wham
(35:17):
with you know, George Michael and the Jonas Knox look alike.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Any bathrooms they go into there? Wow? Oh is that
too soon? I'm sorry?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Did he die in the bathroom? No?
Speaker 1 (35:32):
He did something else in there.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
I don't know this story.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
George Michael got caught in the public restroom with another man? Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Yeah, well, who hasn't had that happened?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
They do not discuss that in the documentary. I mean,
it's pretty much just about his time in Wham. As
soon as that's over and he goes on his solo career,
that's when the documentary ends. But yeah, no, it is.
It was very good. I did not realize how how
big they were, you know, the kind of then in.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
An era without social media, they were you know you
you made it big in the music you were it
was huge. Everything's watered down now, but back then.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
Yeah, it was like Beatle status with like the like
the teenage girls going all crazy like it was. I was,
I was shocked.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It was Does that happen for any music group these days?
Speaker 4 (36:24):
There's that Korean boy band, Oh that sold out? So
five or like five shows. Andeople were camped out all night.
So yes, the answer is yes.
Speaker 3 (36:34):
Good bts bts.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah that's that's like a disease.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
But would say yes.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
But yeah, that is on Netflix right now. It was
a it was an interesting watch. But coming out this weekend,
we have a new movie on Netflix. It is called
The Outlaws and uh it is a It stars Adam Devine,
who's who's hilarious. He's in The Righteous Gemstones on HBO
it's also Cat Pierce Brosnan and Nina Dobrev And it's
(37:05):
a it's about as soon to be married bank manager
played by Adam Devine. Devine. Divine suspects that his parents,
the parents of his fiance, so is his in laws
might be the infamous bank robbers who just held up
his bank, and so comedy ensues. And then last but
not least, we have that new I guess some I
(37:28):
guess you would you call it a documentary Quarterbacks on Netflix?
And yes, Quarterback and it is an eight episode series
from NFL Films, and it follows Marcus Mariota, Patrick Mahomes,
and Kirk Cousins both on and off the field throughout
last season.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
So they wanted to take a great quarterback, a mediocre quarterback,
and a terrible quarterback follow them around.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
That seemed to be the formula there. And that that
is on ends day on Netflix. And that is Coop
Scoop on Entertainment.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
All right, now for the Coop travel Log. Any any
questions you wanted to ask Coops travel.
Speaker 4 (38:10):
Well, he told me he didn't do too well unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
But how long did you last in the tournament? There?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Cool? I lasted till literally like right before the money bubble.
Probably would have cashed if I lasted maybe thirty more minutes.
Speaker 4 (38:28):
But yeah, it was. It was too bad. It was.
It was Are you any amusing anecdotes to share.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
From the World Series Poker or just the trip in general?
Speaker 4 (38:40):
Well, whatever the best story is.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Well, I did see Las Vegas has this this new
thing is called the Sphere. It's from from photos.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
It looks pretty wild. It was awesome. It was what
part of it is? Where is it built? What part
of the strip?
Speaker 3 (38:53):
It is right right behind the Venetian Oh okay, yes,
and yeah, so it's from the Madison Square Garden Company
and it's a new venue. But they lit it up
for the first time on the fourth of July, and
it was it was pretty awesome. I drove to go
see it, and it seems like it's like it's like
you're in a sci fi movie almost. It looks otherworldly?
Speaker 1 (39:15):
It is. Is it true you can see it from
outer space?
Speaker 3 (39:18):
I don't know about that, but you can definitely see
it from miles and miles away. It is the largest
spherical structure in the world.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
What's number two?
Speaker 4 (39:27):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
I always say that number two.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
But I guess it's also the largest LED screen.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
It looks awesome.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
I'm looking at YouTube video of it. Now that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Yeah, it was pretty It was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
You build something like that very carefully.
Speaker 3 (39:44):
I guess it cost more than Allegiant Stadium. Oh yeah,
and how many seats does it have? I think it's
gonna be like thirty.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Let me let me see that is it is?
Speaker 3 (39:56):
It is out there?
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Will people like us ever be able to No?
Speaker 3 (40:00):
No, no, it is not anywhere close to that. Okay,
well I was wrong, and it's eighteen thousand and six.
Speaker 1 (40:04):
Okay, that's like the standard arena. They have luxury boxes
like for the high high rollers the whales.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
I don't know, that's that's a good question. I don't
not that I know. But you two is debuting and
they are opening up that like they're the first concert there.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
And our tickets outrageous?
Speaker 4 (40:19):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (40:19):
I'm shopping for the first couple of shows. But after that?
Can the common person go there? I don't know.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
It's going to be an experience. It's I'm I'm pretty
excited about it. But yeah, checking it out was pretty
cool in Vegas and then then and then of course
the other highlight was the dinner that I had over
where Slug works.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
Yeah. That, and they're building a giant guitar hotel like
they have in yeah, the Heart of the hard Rock.
Yeah yeah, they're building the big giant guitar things. So
they got that going on. Well, all right, very good,
thank you for that. Cool a little bit

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
